Surely all believers are brothers. So make peace between brothers, and fear Allah that mercy may be shown to you.

ISLAM, THE HOLY QUR’AN, 49:11

Israel’s reconciliation with God can be achieved only when they are all one brotherhood.

JUDAISM, TALMUD, MENAHOT, 27A

Meet together, speak together,
let your minds be of one accord,
as the gods of old, being of one mind,
accepted their share of the sacrifice.

May your counsel be common,
your assembly common,
common the mind, and the thoughts of these united.
A common purpose do I lay before you,
and worship with your common oblation.
Let your aims be common,
and your hearts of one accord,
and all of you be of one mind,
so you may live well together.

HINDUISM, RIG VEDA, 10.191.2-4

The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever.

ISLAM, THE HOLY PROPHET (SA), HADITH OF RIYAD AL-SALIHIN

Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.

CHRISTIANITY, THE BIBLE, MATTHEW 18:19-20

Foster brotherhood and love amongst yourselves; forsake barbarity and mutual dissension. Withdraw completely from all forms of jest and mockery, for mockery moves the heart far away from the truth. Treat one another with respect. Each and every one of you ought to give preference to the comfort of your brother over themselves.

ISLAM, THE PROMISED MESSIAH (AS), MALFUZAT – VOLUME I, P.267

Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
