Mawakhat meaning is Brotherhood and Solidarity in Islam. Mawakhat or Brotherhood with your neighbour or any other person means that one person takes the duty of providing the household necessities of another person. In other words, helping poor people of society by financial aid.
Mawakhat according to Wikipedia.org
The immigrants of Makkah and hosts of Median are the best example of Mawakhat or Brotherhood.
Brotherhood among the Sahaba refers to the time after the Hijra when the Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H instituted brotherhood between the emigrants of Makkah and the natives of Medina, the Ansar (literally "helpers"). Muhammad P.B.U.H chose Ali as his own brother.
According to Sahi Muslim:
Translation:
“A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not oppress him, nor does he leave him at the mercy of others”
