Always Together

When an ant colony is in danger, the neighbouring insects hurry to help. By working together, they rescue the ants and rebuild their home. The story introduces the value and importance of cooperation.

People need one another. Cooperation supports individuals, communities and the wider ummah, helping us care for ourselves and others.

The Arabic description includes these religious teachings, rendered here in meaning

"Cooperate in righteousness and piety, and do not cooperate in sin and aggression" (Al-Maidah, 2).

The Prophet peace be upon him compared believers in their mutual compassion, love and sympathy to one body: when one part suffers, the rest responds with sleeplessness and fever (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

He also compared one believer's support for another to a building whose parts strengthen one another, interlacing his fingers (Sahih Al-Bukhari).
