A quotation from the final sermon given by the Prophet Mohammad appears of World Religions Today (the helpful footnote explains that the source of this quotation is the biography of the Prophet written by Ibn Ishaq). This text says clearly that "every Muslim is a brother unto every other Muslim." Explain this idea of the universal relatedness of Muslims.

Question 1: How does this fit with the idea of the "straight path" as a formula for devotion to Allah in Is-lam? And how does the idea of the relatedness of all to all fit with the idea of the tumnah in Islam? Be specific about how the individual Muslim is expected to relate to and think of her community, in terms of both belief and practice.
