brotherhood

These principles are a part of an Islamic social structure: justice and fairness, upholding the rights of the poor in any society, as well as charity to those in need, extended to all people without any differentiation between a Muslim and a non-Muslim.

Dua is a Muslim's way of asking God for His blessings for himself or herself and for others. There are many prayers that are missing from our collective Duas. I request you to make the following Duas as an expression of our concern for humanity.

"O Mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous of you" (Quran 49:13).
