Qur'an: You are the best of communities

"... you are the best of communities raised for mankind:
you order what is right, forbid what is wrong,
and believe in God..."

(Surah Aal Imran, Verse 110)

If there's anything that singles you out as a community
it is your camaraderie
in establishing what is right and proper
and your assisting each other
in steering clear of the wrong and improper.
And your belief in God.

And there is nothing intrinsic within you
neither your blood line nor your skin colour
that warrants you for merit
except this.

Qur'an: Unity

"... Hold onto the rope of God, all of you,
and be not divided.
And remember the blessing of God upon you:
When you were enemies to each other
and He brought your hearts together
and you became, by His grace, brothers..."

(Al-Qur'an,  Surah Aal Imran, Verse 103)

The rope of God,
the connecting link,
between the believers and their Lord,
and the believers one to another,
it is the Qur'an.

And in the Qur'an is their unity,
and in their unity is their strength.
