So be humble, do not oppress one another and do not be prideful. O servants of Allah! Be brothers to one another!”^[1]

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! We must act upon these enlightened teachings of Islam, and obey Allah and His Messenger  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب         صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
