About Brotherhood

[Dan]

Bismillah

As salam alaikum

A brother is quizzing me on these questions. Could anyone help me out?

1. What are the 3 pillars (Arkaan) of the brotherhood?

2. What are the 3 levels (Darajaat) of brotherhood?'

3. What are the 6 rights (Haqooq) that Muslim brothers have over one another?

Jazakum Allah Khairun.

As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

[_ME_]

From what I know,

The three pillars are:

1-"Al-Iklas" so that its ONLY for allah's sake. (no because of any other reason; like wealth, or race.... ect)

2-Not helping each other on any haram. (how can you ask for the reward of brotherhood and use it to do sins??!!)

3-"Al-Naseehah" (by showing the other the right and warning of wrong)

And I dont know (or heard of) any hadeeth about spasific "levels" of brotherhood, I know it's better whenever it gets colser to the pillars and weakins when the practicing of them weakins.


The rights are:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:{ Six are the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim. It was said to him: Allah's Messenger, what are these? Thereupon he said:

(1) When you meet him, offer him greetings;

(2) when he invites you to a feast accept it.

(3) when he seeks your council give him,

(4) and when he sneezes and says: "All praise is due to Allah," you say Yarhamuk Allah (may Allah show mercy to you); and

(5) when he fails ill visit him;

(6) and when he dies follow his bier.}

(from sahih Muslim Book 26, Number 5379)

ان يختلف ماء الوصال فماءونا عذب تحدر من غمام واحد

وان يختلف نسب يؤ لف بيننا دين اقمناه مقام الوالد
