Fiqh al-Adiyah wa-al-AdhkarAbd al-Razzaq ibn Abd al-Muhsin al-Badr

the Muslim community has become like a single body and a firmly joined structure, each of whose parts reinforces the others.

The eminent scholar Shaykh Muhammad al-Amīn al-Shinqītī—may Allah have mercy on him—said in his book Adwā’ al-Bayān: “In sum, the true bond that brings together those who are divided and unites those who are at variance is the bond of ‘There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah.’ Do you not see that this bond—which unites the entire Muslim community as though it were a single body and makes it like a structure whose parts reinforce one another—has moved the hearts of those who bear the Throne and the angels around it to compassion for the children of Adam on earth, despite the differences between them? Allah Most High says:

‘Those who bear the Throne and those around it glorify their Lord with praise, believe in Him, and seek forgiveness for the believers: Our Lord, Your mercy and knowledge encompass all things. Forgive, then, those who repent and follow Your way, and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire. Our Lord, admit them into the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised them, along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. You alone are the Almighty, the All-Wise. Protect them from evil consequences. Whoever You protect from evil consequences on that Day has indeed received Your mercy. That is the supreme triumph.’ 1

Allah Most High thus indicates that the bond connecting those who bear the Throne and the angels around it with the children of Adam on earth—such that they offered this magnificent and righteous supplication for them—is none other than faith in Allah, Glorious and Exalted.”

Later, he—may Allah have mercy on him—said: “In short, there is no disagreement among Muslims that the bond connecting the people of earth to one another, and connecting the inhabitants of earth with those of heaven, is the bond of ‘There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah.’ It is therefore absolutely impermissible to call people to any other bond.” 2 End quote.

أصبح المجتمع المسلم كالجسد الواحد وكالبنيان المرصوص يَشُدُّ بعضها بعضاً. قال الشيخ العلاّمة محمد الأمين الشنقيطي ﵀ في كتابه أضواء البيان: "والحاصل أنَّ الرابطة الحقيقية التي تَجمع المفترقَ وتؤلف المختلف هي رابطة لا إله إلا الله، ألا ترى أنَّ هذه الرابطة التي تجمع المجتمع الإسلامي كلَّه كأنَّه جسدٌ واحدٌ، وتجعله كالبنيان يشدّ بعضه بعضاً، عطفت قلوب حملة العرش ومن حوله من الملائكة على بني آدم في الأرض مع ما بينهم من الاختلاف، قال تعالى: ﴿الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ العَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كَلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وَعِلْماً، فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الجَحِيمِ رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَهُمْ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَاتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ العَزِيزُ الحَكِيمُ وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ وَذَلِكَ هُوَ الفَوْزُ العَظِيمُ﴾ ١، فقد أشار تعالى إلى أنَّ الرابطة التي ربطت بين حملة العرش ومن حوله وبين بني آدم في الأرض حتى دعوا الله لهم هذا الدعاء الصالح العظيم إنَّما هي الإيمان بالله جلّ وعلا. إلى أن قال ﵀: وبالجملة فلا خلاف بين المسلمين أنَّ الرابطة التي تربط أفراد أهل الأرض بعضهم ببعض وتربط بين أهل الأرض والسماء هي رابطة لا إله إلا الله، فلا يجوز ألبتة النداء برابطة غيرها"٢ اهـ.
