active, tolerant and social, mixing with other people and dealing with
them with tolerance and in accordance with the worthy Islamic
attitudes and behavior.
Allaah Almighty Says (what means): "And hold fast, all of you
together, to the Rope of Allaah (i.e. the Quran), and be not divided
among yourselves, and remember Allaah's Favour on you, for you were
enemies one toanther but He joined your hearts together, so that, by
His Grace, you became brethren (in Islamic faith), and you were on the
brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it…" ] Quran 3:103]
Wherever the Muslim is found, hebecomes a beacon of guidance, and a
positive source of correction and education, through both his words
and deeds.
He has a good attitude towards others and treats them well. He isof
good and noble character, friendly, humble, gentle of speech and
tactful. He likes others and is liked by them. By doing so, he is
following the example of the Prophet as Anas reported that he was:
"The best of people in his attitude towards others." [Al-Bukhaari and
Muslim]
When a quarrel intensifies, when its roots go deeper, its thorns
become branches and branches increase in number, then the freshness of
the fruits of faith is adversely affected. Softness, sympathy,
satisfaction and peace,which are encouraged by the Islamic teachings,
receive a setback.
Performance of worship loses its righteousness, while the self getsno
benefit from it.
Many a time mutual quarrels perturb the persons who claim tobe wise.
When this happens, theytake recourse to lowly and superficial things,
and sometimesindulge in dangerous acts which only increase
difficulties and bring troubles. When a man is displeased, his eyes
become prejudiced and ignore the camel and object to gnat. Such eyes
do not appreciate the beauty of the peacock, for they only see its
uglyfeet and claws. If a slight defect is present, it turns the
molehill into a mountain. And sometimes the internal rancor and
jealousy affect them so badly that no hesitation is felt in inventing
imaginary stories.
Islam disapproves of all these manifestations of ill-feeling and
advises to abstain from them. It declares their avoidance as the most
virtuous form of worship.
The Prophet said: "Listen, mayI tell you something more important than
the fasting, the prayer and charity?" The people requested him to do
so. He said: "To keep the mutual relationship on the right footing,
because the defect in the mutual relationship is a thing which shaves
a thing clean. I do not mean that it shaves the hair, but that it
shaves (removes) the religion." [At-Tirmithi]
Many a time, Satan is not able to persuade wise men to worship idols,
but since he is very keen onmisguiding and ruining men, he manages to
succeed in driving them away from Allaah, so much so that these wise
men become more indifferent in respecting the rights of Allaah than
the idolaters themselves. The best method adopted by the devil for
this purpose is to sow the seeds of enmity in the hearts of the
people. When this enmity develops into a fire and open hostilities
result, he enjoys the scene. This fire burns man's present and future
into ashes and totally destroys their relationship and virtues.
The Messenger of Allaah said: "The Satan has been disappointed that he
would not be worshipped in the Arabian Peninsula, but he has not been
disappointed from kindling the fire of fighting among the people."
[Muslim]
It means that when wickedness takes roots in the hearts, when people
start hating love and brotherhood, and when these aredestroyed, people
then revert to cruelty and enmity, and break all those relations and
links which Allaah has commanded to be kept; thus spreading corruption
on this earth.
In order to remedy this disease, the most wonderful thing in a quarrel
is to forget it as it had never happened, because remembering it will
never be a sort of pleasure, while forgetting it will never be
harmless, and a good word is stronger than swords and spears.
Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim said:"The origin of the enmity, evil and envy that
occurs between people is from the following of Al-Hawaa (the lowly
desire). The one who opposes his desire relieves his heart, body and
limbs, putting himself to ease and thus relieves others. Abu Bakr
Al-Warraak said: "When the desire prevails, the heart turns dark and
when it does so, the breast becomes straitened and when that happens,
the moral character deteriorates and consequently people will hate him
and he will hate them. Then think of the evil, enmity, neglect of
rights, etc. that arise from this mutual hatred."
