If a believing brother in faith does not have anything to wear...

If a believing brother in faith does not have anything to wear, is it possible for the others to be clothed and live him naked?" No, it cannot be so! Every true practicing Muslim society consists of individuals who aim to provide equal resources to all its members. They do not rest until this aim is achieved.

On the same issue, our 6th Imam (a.s.) has also said: "Every Muslim has a right over his brother in faith and they have duties towards each other, some of which are: One should greet the other when they meet. If a Mo'meen becomes sick, the others should visit him. If he dies, it becomes their duty to pay him his last respects and attend his funeral services. If a Mo'meen invites another to his house, he must accept his invitation.

The most important of all is: whatever a believer desires for himself, he must desire the same for others. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT… The most beautiful gift that Islam has given its followers is the close bond of brotherhood and unity. If we implement the rules concerning this matter, then we will have the perfect society - a thing that the entire world is searching for. Whenever a believer needs help, others should be ready to help.

The most important of all Islamic morals is that whatever a believer desires for himself, he should desire the same for the others. And whatever he dislikes for himself, he must dislike the same for others as well.

Lesson 15 : Hard Work and Independence Asking in Islam has two meanings. The first one refers to inquiring about things that one is ignorant of. To do this, we need to ask those who possess the wealth of knowledge. Obviously, to ask questions is a commendable act and also an excellent method of learning.

It is highly recommended that anyone who does not know should ask those who do and gain from them. Islam came to awaken souls and brought the light of knowledge. The doors to the seas and oceans of knowledge and learning are wide open, and the key is with you. One of the ways is through asking questions.
