Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wa salam) said, as reported in Sahih Muslim,
"He who promotes nationalism is not one of us, neither the one who fights for the sake of nationalism, nor the one who is passionate for nationalism." [Muslim]

He Also said,
"Allah has removed for you the zeal of ignorance, and the boasting of family lineage. People are either a pious believer, or a miserable impious person. Mankind are children of Adam, and Adam is created from Soil. No preference over an arab over a non-arab except by taqwa" [Tirmithi]

Allah (subhana wa tala) said,
"And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allâh's Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace you may become brothers... " [3, 103]

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar: Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa salam) said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . " [Bukhari]

Anas (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alayhi wa Sallam) say:
"Allah the Almighty said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it."
[at-Tirmidhi, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal]

"Whoever competes with you in your Deen [Religion], then compete with him, but whoever competes with you in your Dunya [Worldly Matters], then throw it to him" -Imaam al-Hasan al-Basri

Shoulder to Shoulder, Feet to Feet!

Did you know that straightening the lines and filling in the gap is an IMPORTANT part of Salah? When you see space fill it up! Do not stand far away from your brothers! Shoulder to Shoulder, feet to feet, do not let Shaytan get in between!

Jabir bin Samurah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (salalahu alayhi wa salam) came out to us and said, "Why do you not stand in rows as the angels do before their Rubb?'' We asked: "O Messenger of Allah! how do the angels stand in rows... before their Rubb?'' He replied, "They complete each row beginning with the first and filling all the gaps.''
[Muslim]

Commentary: Taras means to stand in the style of a wall, each brick of which is interlocked with another so much so that there is not even the slightest gap between two of its bricks. When people array themselves for Salat, they should keep their feet and shoulders so close with one another on their left and right that there is no gap or space between them. Moreover, the front rows should be completed first. One should never take place in the second row if there is place in the first. Similarly, one should never take place in the third row if there is room in the second line. And so on and so forth.

‎1087. Anas (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SALLALAHU ALAYHI WA SALAM) said, "Keep your rows straight (during Salat in congregation), for keeping the rows straight is part of the perfection of Salat.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: This Hadith also highlights the importance of setting the rows straight. In fact, this is part of the perfection of Salat. In other words, Salat in congregation does not become perfect without setting the rows in order.

1090. Al-Bara' bin `Azib (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SALLALAHU ALAYHI WA SALAM) used to pass between the rows from one end to the other, touching our chest and shoulders (i.e., arranging the rows) in line and saying, "Do not be out of line; otherwise your hearts will be in disagreement''. He would add, "Allah and His angels invoke blessings upon the first rows.'' [Abu Dawud].

Anas (radiallaahuAnhu) who said, The Messenger of Allah(sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) used to face us before the Takbeer and he used to say, tighten and straighten (the rows).

On the authority of Abi Umaamah who said that the Messenger of All...aah
(sallallaahu Alaihi wasallam) said, Straighten your lines, and align your
shoulders, and yield your hands to your brothers, and close the gaps, for indeed. Shaytaan comes between you through them, just as the small lamb does.
