The Quran calls the believers brothers, and tells them to hold fast together and not to divide (3:103).

What it means

“The believers are but brothers, so make peace between your brothers” (49:10). “Hold fast to the rope of God all together and do not divide; and remember God’s favour to you when you were enemies and He united your hearts, so that you became brothers by His favour” (3:103). In Medina the Prophet paired each emigrant with an Ansari as brothers.
