Strengthening bonds is something very important in Islam. Allah Almighty has created us in a way that we are related to people.

When Allah has kept a relationship of blood between you and someone, biologically, you’re connected, you need to know lineage in Islam is sacred. Sacred means it cannot be tempered with.

Because Allah has kept so many rules and regulations, each one of them connected to our success in this world and the next. The ultimate contentment and victory, happiness and success relies on understanding what the Almighty has said and adopting it to the best of our abilities.

Allah Almighty wants us during this beautiful month to achieve a reward by going to those whom we don’t have a relationship with, starting with our family members, the closest from amongst the family, and either apologizing or extending a hand of goodness, a hand of forgiveness, a hand of solidarity, a hand of building the bonds.

Very important for us to develop a big heart, as we say, and to extend the arm and to be the first one to extend that arm of reconciliation.

So to go out of your way to mend relations is an act of worship.

The biggest charity, the biggest donation you can ever make right now is to resolve the matters with those who are right around you.
