    And hold fast, All together, by the Rope Which God (stretches out For you), and be not divided Among yourselves; And remember with gratitude God's favour on you; For ye were enemies And He joined your hearts In love, so that by His Grace, Ye became brethren; And ye were on the brink Of the Pit of Fire, And He saved you from it. Thus doth God make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.

    Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:103
