The Mukmin As A Single Entity

عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى ‏"‏  
 
Nu'man b. Bashir reported Allah's Messenger (SAW) as saying: The similitude of believers in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole-body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.

Lessons: 
 
1. Mukmin are like kin to one another. 
 
2. They are likened to parts of the same human body – some make up the feet, hands, teeth, and others. 
 
3. If one part of the body (such as the tooth) aches, the other parts feel the pain too. 
 
Let’s care for our kin like how we care for our own body.
