Beyond The Golden Rule - a photo on Flickriver

"No man is a true believer unless he desireth for his brother that which he desireth for himself."
(Azizullah, Hadith 150)

Of course it is pretentious to claim that we are true believers however I think that there are no better words than this quote by Prophet Muhammad in order to explain the relationship that I am sharing with mere bhai (my brother in Hindi).
This universal moral principle is called "The Golden Rule".
I took this picture of my brother Manish in front of Aurangzeb Mosque where there is a terrace over the Ganges with an amazing view of Varanasi (Benaras).
