cooperation are the certain duties of each Moslem, and all areobliged to observe these principles.

We read in a tradition from Imam Sadegh A. S.:.

«يَحِقُّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْاجْتِهادُ فِي التَّواصُلِ، وَ التَّعاوُنُ عَلَى التَّعاطُفِ، وَ الْمُواساةُ لِاهْلِ الْحاجَةِ، وَ تَعاطُفُ بَعْضِهِمْ عَلى‌ بَعْضٍ، حَتّى‌ تَكُونُوا كَما امَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلّ رُحَماءُ بَيْنَهُمْ» ..

It is obligatory for the Moslems to try for bringing theirhearts together, and do not neglect cooperation mixed with kindness, observe equity among the needy, and express their affection to each other to become the proof of utterance of God" they are kind with each other".. [١]

٩- Islam has not only mentioned the matters of friendship, kindness, social cooperation, and equity as a command and obligation, but also has offered comprehensive plans for bringing forth these commands.

Thus, in one hand Islam has forbidden the factors causingd ispersion, hypocrisy and scattering, including slander, gossip, overriding, strictness in adjudication, suspicion, mis- nomination, too much humor, and on the other hand has eulogized thefactors resulting in consoli dation of kindness, friendship andmutual trust, such as visiting, shaking hands and embracing, good opinion, expressing friendship to each other, defending thereputation of each other in one's absence, reconciliation ofdifference and disunion, attempt in fulfilling supplications ofeach other and such like, and thereby Islam has founded ahumanistic society in its full sense based on real affections, andhas proceeded this issue as far as has called it one of the mostessential means of life.
