In this article the sense of brotherhood in Islam and its results will be analyzed. In a broad perspective, all mankind is brother/sister because the roots of humanity belongs to Adam and Eve as well as, in a narrow perspective those who are sons and daughters of the same parents or those who have same mother as foster mother are brothers and sisters, and there are legal and moral results of this brother/sisterhood. There is brother/sisterhood from the per-spective of having the same ancestor as well as religious brother/sisterhood. Although there is no legal consequences of the religious brother/sisterhood as much as having the same ancestor, belief unity is examining the basics of the other brother/sisterhood and this brother/sisterhood is not only limited to this world and con-tinues in the heaven, afterlife. As it is understood from this article the unity in the basics of belief gives a meaning to the bortherhood which is coming from foster-motherhood and ancestory.
