And hold fast, all together, by the rope of Allah and be not divided; and remember the favour of Allah which He bestowed upon you when you were enemies and He united your hearts in love, so that by His grace you became as brothers; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah explain to you His commandments that you may be guided.
Islam, the Holy Qur’an, 3:104

Treat one another with respect. Each and every one of you ought to give preference to the comfort of your brother over themselves.
