"Help you,
one another in al-Birr and at-Taqwaa (virtue,
righteousness) but do not help one another in sin and
transgression." [Soorah al-Maaidah (5): 2]
A good sister is more than a good friend. She is a companion in this dunya, in this world. She gives naseehah (advice), shares her knowledge,
keeps contact with her sisters in Islaam, does ibaadah (worship of Allaah) together with her sisters in Islaam.. she protects the honour of her sisters in faith,
she controls her tongue and does not spread rumours nor talks behind the back of her sisters. She is a trustworthy friend, a beloved sister.
Sisterhood is a beautiful bond between muslimaat. Simplest way to spread love between us is to spread salaam as Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, has said,
"By the One in Whose hand in my soul, you will not enter Paradise until
you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall
I not tell you of something that if you do it, you will love one
another? Spread salam amongst yourselves." [Muslim]
He, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, has also said: "Do not think little of any good deed, even if it is just greeting your brother
with a cheerful countenance." [Sahih Muslim]
