Mosque people?

For the last one month, I've started my work in a retail pharmacy. Like usual retail shop, the time to return home on a late night is like bread and butter.

As for tonight, I'm amazed by one of my neighbor who, sorry to say, we weren't so much known each other even his name. Haha. But what happened? As I'm entering the mosque door for prayer, he poke me and ask " wow, how have you been? Its been a long time not seeing you around." I just smile and say " yeah, I'm working right now, so, its hard to come by, haha"

Right after the prayer, I've been thinking about that event. Its simple, but take a deep feeling into my heart. Its about brother in aqidah (faith) are far stronger than brotherhood in bloodlines. How people can get to know each other or cared for one another and even have conversation like have known for a long time without any bloodlines relationship or any interest.

"المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضًا"

"Mukmins are like a building, each one of them are strengthen amongst others.

عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:  مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ 
 وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى

from An-Nu’man ibn Basheer reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The example of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”
(Sahih Bukhari  and Muslim)

Well, that is our strength, but people nowadays cant see that. For them, a relationship is always based on something. Business, money, even things that they might have from someone. Its a sad thing but thats reality.

And above all, its hard but not impossible, to achieve that higher rank of friendship, cause our ancestors have done it, like in the story about ansar and muhajirin,l. How close they've become although they've just met each other. The kind of relationship that bring them to be the best of all people at that time.
