Episode notes
Believers Are Defined As Family
- The Qur'an defines believers as nothing but family, declaring unity as our identity rather than a recommendation.
- Disunity therefore contradicts the theological nature of who Muslims are and is a spiritual problem, not merely social.

- Act to reconcile divided parties since reconciliation is commanded and communal responsibility.
- Treat reconciliation as a fard al-kifaya duty where someone must always work to bring people together.

- Division springs from internal ego and envy, not primarily external pressures.
