Is brotherhood/sisterhood amongst Muslims an important teaching in Islam?

Question

Is "brotherhood" important in Islam? How important is it?

Answer 1

Islam teaches brotherhood/sisterhood with regard to the original parentage. We are all descendants of the first pair of human beings Adam and Eve.

“O, mankind! Surely we have created you of a male and female and make you tribes and families that you know each other, surely the noblest among you unto Allah is one who fears him .Lo! Allah is Knower Aware” Al-Hujurat [49.13]

Further it is stated in the Quran, Surah Al-Rum:
“And among His signs is the creation of heavens and earth, and the variations in your languages, and your colours, verily in that are the signs for those who know” Al-Rum [30:22]

Allah describes the believers as being brother. He says
“The believers are but brothers” Al-Hujurat [49:10]

The reason for this description is that they all share the same beliefs, work towards the same goals, and share the same code of behaviour.

Answer 2

Yes, it is very important in Islam. Brotherhood and sisterhood helps maintain the Islamic Nation and society.

Allah spoke that all humans should be united and remember
all Allah's blessings.In 3:104 Allah spoke that we should try to
invite other into kindness.In 4:1 (Surah An Nisaa or women)Allah instructs humans to maintain good relationship (silaturahmi) and in 4:2 we should take care children who have no fathers or no fathers and mothers..In 4::19 Allah prohibites men treat their wives in force so we should treat them tenderly.In 4:36 Allah spoke please worship to Allah and do not make allies to Allah.Please give goodness to your parents (mother and father),your relatives,your friends,or
phans,poor people, near and far neighbours,ibnu sabil (person in his/her trip/journey ) and to slaves or servants
.Really Allah hates the conceit people
Muslims through out the world is one like a body Muhammad pbuh said.If a muslim is misery the other should help him/her.
We are all the descendants of the same ancestors Adam and Eve so we should love and help each other among muslims and also with other religion followers..We are brothers and sisters.Salam for you Rebecca.

All of Gods Prophets, Adam, Noah, Moses, David, Abraham. Ishmael, Jesus, Muhammad (May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon them all), taught this concerning the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.

This is important regardless of race, religion or gender!
This is the obligation of human beings!
