How We Should Treat Each Other
http://www.islamtoday.net/english/sh...sub_cat_id=623
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
This is the most important principle that should govern our interpersonal relationships.
It ensures that our relationships with other people are not based on personal interests or ulterior motives.
A Muslim is not just thinking: What can I get out of it? Such shallow relationships continue only so long as there is some personal benefit to be had.
And come to an end when those interests are fulfilled
On the other hand, a relationship based on the love for the sake of Allah is an enduring relationship that will never come to an end, not even by death. It will continue forever.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: and he mentioned among them: 1. There is a financial right that we have over one another.
Each one of us has the duty of providing financial support to someone who is in need of it. We do not, however, have to bring harm upon ourselves in doing so.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) informs us that Allah says:
2. We must likewise provide food and clothing for those who need it. He also said:
3. We must also support each other with our physical efforts and our labors.
We should always be willing to lend a helping hand and to do something personally for the sake of someone else.
Muhammad b. Ja`far said:
If this is the case for our enemies, then how should our conduct be with our friends?
4. We must express our feelings of good will to others.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
It is also right for us to defend the honor of another when someone tries to speak ill about him or her.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
As for any mistreatment we might experience at the hands of another, we should overlook it and remember that no one is perfect and we cannot expect from anyone that he will never exhibit to us bad behavior at some time or another.
6. We must pray for others both during their lives and after they die.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
7. We must be faithful in our relationships. 8. We must be easy in our dealings with people and not expect too much from them.
It is not good to place burdens on people that will be hard or costly for them.
Imam al-Fudayl said:When people deal easily with each other, it increases the love that exists between them.
May Allah help us to put these principles into practice in our lives, and may He increase the love that we feel for each other for His sake.
