Brotherhood Perspective of the Qur'an

Abstract

Brotherhood is a basic concept in Islam that has been emphasized by the Qoran as the basis for building harmonious relationships between human beings. In the perspective of the Qur'an, brotherhood is not just a blood bond, but rather a spiritual and moral bond that binds individuals. The definition of brotherhood in the Qur'an includes aspects such as mutual love, mutual help, and mutual respect for each other regardless of differences in ethnicity, race, ethnicity and social status. The Qur'an strongly emphasizes that all humans are part of one big family created by Allah SWT. Therefore, brotherhood in Islam demands to avoid division, conflict and discrimination. The Qur'an emphasizes that brotherhood is basically one that is based on faith in Allah and moral equality, not on racial equality or material wealth. Apart from that, the Qur'an provides concrete examples of how brotherhood should be applied in everyday life, such as through zakat, alms, sharing and an attitude of empathy towards fellow Muslims or fellow countrymen. Brotherhood in the Islamic perspective also teaches us to be loving, fair and not harm one another. In the context of modern society which is full of conflict and division, understanding brotherhood from the perspective of the Qur'an becomes very important. By understanding this concept, Muslims are expected to be able to build harmonious relationships, support each other and respect each other in order to create peace and justice in society.
