Verse_of_Brotherhood
The Verse of Brotherhood (Arabic: آیة الأُخُوَّة, romanized: Āyat al-Ukhuwwah) is the tenth verse of the Quranic chapter "Al-Hujurat" (Q49:10). The verse is about the brotherhood of believers with each other; which says: "the believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy (49:10)."[1][2][3][4]
Fundamental Islamic society motto is the believers are nothing else than brethren.[5] The verse refers to equality between individuals and lack of difference in terms of ethnic group, tribe and race. It is suggested that the verse refers to the necessity of reforming between religious brothers. Brotherhood of believers in religion is another conception of the verse.[6][7][8][9]
The Islamic prophet Muhammad instituted brotherhood between the emigrants and helpers and he chose Ali as his own brother. According to Shia this happened after the revelation of the verse of brotherhood.[6][10][11]
