And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you, when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by his favor, brothers.- [Surah Al-Imran:103]

We are all brothers and sisters in Islam brought together in faith by our belief in our Lord and His messenger (saw) -Laillaha illa Allah, Muhammadun Rasulullah.
