Actions that Promote Brotherly Feelings

Actions that Promote Brotherly Feelings when one shakes hands with others, it is but natural that feelings of alienation should end and be replaced with feelings of closeness. Another way to generate brotherly feelings is to give gifts to one another, whether big or small. When this is done in all sincerity, it fosters extraordinary love in both the giver and the taker. Gifts bind both the giver and the taker in a noble human relationship. It is desirable in Islam that negative inclinations should be suppressed and positive propensities be promoted. An atmosphere marred by complaint and hatred must be replaced by love thus promoting healthy relationships. Shaking hands plays a very important role in cementing relationship and in building a great society.
