All praise is due to Allah Alone. May peace and blessings be upon the Last Prophet.
Undoubtedly, Allah has created all creatures to worship Him Alone without associating partners with Him. Allah, the Glorified and Exalted, says, And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone). He (Exalted be He) also says, O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allâh), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become AlMuttaqûn (the pious See V.2:2). Allah (Exalted be He) commands His Servants to hold fast to such worship. He sent the Messengers (peace be upon them) and revealed the Book (Qur'an) in order to clarify this right, explain it, and call to it. Allah (Exalted be He) says, Worship Allâh and join none with Him (in worship) He (Exalted be He) further says, And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. The word "decreed" in this Ayah (Qur'anic verse) means "commanded and advised strongly". Allah (Exalted be He) says, And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him) He (may He be Praised) further says, And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tâghût (all false deities i.e. do not worship Tâghût besides Allâh)."
And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."
Allah (Exalted be He) also says, (This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected (in every sphere of knowledge), and then explained in detail from One (Allâh), Who is AllWise, WellAcquainted (with all things). (Saying) worship none but Allâh. Verily, I (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ) am unto you from Him a warner and a bringer of glad tidings. He (Exalted be He) says, This (Qur'an) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against them), in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is the only One Ilâh (God Allâh) (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) and that men of understanding may take heed.
Such Honorable Ayahs comprise the ordinance of worshipping Allah (Exalted be He) and the declaration that He has created AthThaqalayn (the Jinn and mankind) for the purpose of performing such act of worship. Moreover, He sent the Messengers and revealed the Books to clarify and call for it. The true essence of such act of worship is the obedience for Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger (peace be upon him) by being sincere to Allah (Exalted be He) in performing all acts, submitting to His ordinances, abstinence from His prohibitions, helping one another in all these acts, putting our hearts in His hands, and asking Him for everything we need in a way that shows humbleness, submissiveness, belief, sincerity, truthfulness, Tawakkul (putting one's trust in Allah), hope, and fear. In addition, Muslims should follow all means which Allah (Exalted be He) has enjoined on His servants, ordained for them, and permitted them to take. They can righteously manage both religious and worldly matters. All servants can achieve good interests during their life and in the afterlife. Verily, there is neither goodness for Muslims, comfort for their hearts, nor tranquility for their consciences unless they devote themselves to Allah (Exalted be He), worship Him Alone, revere His sanctities, submit to His commands, abstain from His prohibitions, recommend and help each other to adhere to all these acts and preserve the Hudud (ordained punishments for violating Allah's Law) which He enjoined on His Servants.
These are the limits (set by) Allâh (or ordainments as regards laws of inheritance), and whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ﺻـﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success. And whosoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ), and transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment.
It is wellknown that Muslims can not manage their matters perfectly, settle their interests, unify their opinions or be feared by their enemies except with Islamic solidarity. The essence of this value is embodied in cooperation in piety and Taqwa, unity, compassion, exchange of advice, recommendation of AlHaqq (the Truth), and persistence in acting truthfully. It is no doubt that such act is one of the most important Islamic duties and obligations of worship. The Qur'anic Ayahs and the Prophetic Hadiths mentioned that solidarity among Muslims, individuals and groups, governments and peoples, is one of the most important obligations. It is one of the duties necessary for every Muslim to attain righteousness, establish their religion, solve their problems, unify their lines and consolidate their efforts against their common enemy. There are many Nusus (Islamic texts from the Qur'an or the Sunnah) mentioned in this chapter and even if they did not mention the word 'solidarity', they did mention what indicates and refers to its meaning according to the scholars. Verily, things are measured by their essence and meanings, not by their abstract wordings. Solidarity means cooperation and supporting one another, consolidation, helping and recommending one
another and any other word that pertains to such meaning. This meaning further comprises the propagation of virtue, prevention of vice, calling to the Way of Allah (Exalted be He) and guiding people to the means of happiness and survival. In addition, solidarity means to set right all matters of this world and the Hereafter including teaching those who are ignorant, helping the needy, supporting the oppressed, holding back the oppressors from committing unjust acts, establishing the Hudud (ordained punishments for violating Allah's Law), maintaining security,
punishing those who are corrupt, securing the roads connecting Muslims inside and outside, and providing means of land, sea, and air transportation and means of telecommunications. This is done to achieve their common religious and worldly interests and to promote cooperation among Muslims concerning every act that may maintain AlHaqq, establish justice, and propagate peace and security everywhere. Solidarity also includes reconciliation among Muslims, settlement of armed conflict among them, and fighting the aggressive group till it complies with the Command of Allah (Exalted be He) . This is in accordance with Allah's (Exalted be He) saying, So fear Allâh and adjust all matters of difference among you Allah (Glorified be He) also says: And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both. But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which outrages till it complies with the Command of Allâh. Then if it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allâh loves those who are the equitable. The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islâmic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allâh, that you may receive mercy.
In these noble Ayahs, Allah (Exalted be He) commands all Muslims to fear Him, undertake the mission of reconciling among them in general and reconciling between the two combating parties in particular, and fighting against the oppressive party until it refrains from its oppression provided that reconciliation is based on sound principles of justice and equity apart from prejudice and injustice. Moreover, those ayahs comprise a declaration that Muslims are all brothers even if they are different in their colors and tongues. This is regardless of how far their homelands are. Islam gathers, unites, and obligates them to treat each other with justice and cooperation and to abstain from transgressing against one another.
Prophet's Companions and those who righteously followed them, (may Allah be pleased with them), succeeded greatly in acting on this way. Allah (Exalted be He) fulfilled His promise to them concerning honor, dignity, and victory as previously indicated and clarified at the beginning.
It is no doubt that Allah (Exalted be He) fulfilled the previously mentioned promise for them due to their sincere faith, great Jihad (fighting/striving in the Cause of Allah), good deeds, patience, and calling others to patience, sincerity in everything they said and did, and solidarity and cooperation in such acts, not for their kinship or wealth. Allah (Exalted be He) says,
And it is not your wealth, nor your children that bring you nearer to Us (i.e. please Allâh), but only he who believes (in the Islâmic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds (will please Us); as for such, there will be twofold reward for what they did, and they will reside in the high dwellings (Paradise) in peace and security.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said that Allah (Exalted be He) never regards your faces nor your wealth, but He regards your hearts and deeds.This Hadith was reported by Muslim in his Sahih.
Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) in this world's life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection) The Day when their excuses will be of no profit to Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrongdoers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh). Theirs will be the curse, and theirs will be the evil abode (i.e. painful torment in Hellfire).
And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers, That they verily would be made triumphant, And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.
and (as for) the believers, it was incumbent upon Us to help (them).
May Allah, the Glorified and Exalted, unify all Muslims on the word of Truth, enable them to understand His religion, reform their rulers, and guide them all to AlSiratulMustaqim (the Straight Path). May Allah grant them sincerity in achieving solidarity among themselves and recommending and helping one another with goodness, safeguard them from separation, opposition, and deceitful temptations, and protect them from the enemies' schemes. Verily Allah is the Waliy (Guardian) and the Omnipotent. May peace and blessings be upon His servant and Messenger Muhammad, his Companions, and those who followed them righteously until the Day of Resurrection!
