Ropes of Allah
In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
"And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favor on you; for ye were enemies and he joined your hearts in love, so that by his Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of fire, and he saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make his Signs clear to you: that ye may be guided." -Quran, The Family of Imran, 3:103 Commentary: The simile is that of people struggling in deep water, to whom a benevolent Providence stretches out a strong and unbreakable rope of rescue. If all hold fast to it together, their mutual support adds to the chance of their safety. Yathrib was torn with civil and tribal feuds and dissensions before the Messenger of Allah set his feet on its soil. After that, it became the City of the Prophet, Madinah, and unmatched Brotherhood, and the pivot of Islam. This poor quarrelsome world is a larger Yathrib: can we establish the sacred feet on its soil, and make it a new and larger Madinah?
