Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:13.990
the servant of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:13.990 --> 00:00:17.989
from the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said:

00:00:17.989 --> 00:00:23.989
"None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."

Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.560
This hadith elucidates a magnificent principle for building a Muslim society,

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.560
which is that true faith

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.560
is perfected by loving goodness for others

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.560
just as we love it for ourselves.

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.560
For the sincere believer does not envy or harbor hatred,

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.560
but rather strives to benefit people and shares goodness with them.

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.689
The hadith teaches

00:00:52.689 --> 00:00:56.689
that the righteousness of the hearts is the foundation of societal unity,

00:00:56.689 --> 00:01:00.689
and that the spread of love and altruism among Muslims

00:01:00.689 --> 00:01:04.689
is a cause for the strength of faith and the cohesion of the Ummah.
