Hadith 1
(a)
• Islam demands sincere and genuine faith.
• This sincerity is needed in the fundamental beliefs as well as towards the leaders and the members of the community.
• This means strong belief in Tawhid (oneness of God), the divine message of the Quran and the messenger of God who conveyed this Message to us.
• Also, the leader of the community, who follows the Quran and Sunnah, should be sincerely followed:
“And obey God and obey the Messenger and those charged with authority among you.” (4:59)
• Finally, Muslims should believe in respecting and caring for the fellows in the community.
(b)
• Belief in Tawhid, Quran and the last Messenger is demonstrated by following the eternal guidance of the Quran and Sunnah.
• Muslims should observe the five pillars of Islam:
“And establish regular prayer and pay the charity tax”
• As for cooperating with the leader of the community, Muslims should remember the speech of Abu Bakr on his election as caliph:
“Help me if I am in the right, set me right if I am in the wrong”
• Similarly, sincerity towards fellows should be expressed by being kind, polite and respectful to them.
Hadith 2
(a)
• Muslims are bonded together with common faith:
“Believers are a single brotherhood” (49:10) this bond of fraternity has been established by God Himself, and so, all Muslims should make it part of their faith.
• A heart without love and care for the fellow Muslims is devoid of true faith, & so, genuine faith is linked with affection for the other members of the community.
• “None of you believes” refers to imperfect faith, and not absence of faith. This means that any believer might fall prey to a lack of love for fellows.
(b)
• Muslims should negate selfishness, promote spirit of sacrifice and love for the fellow Muslims
• Should develop a sense of collective welfare and make efforts to ensure comfort and benefits for others as much as for himself:
“It is more beneficial for one to give his land free to his brother than to charge him a fixed rental” and:
“That you desire for others that what you desire for yourself”
• True believers should not look down upon others and should not taunt them or call them by offensive nick names.
• They are also not supposed to break ties with fellow brothers and should take initiative in re-establishing good relations.
Hadith 3
(a)
• Power of speech not only a great bounty by God but also a means of expressing faith:
“He has created man. He has taught him the speech (and intelligence),” (55:3, 4)
• With this belief, a believer should learn, “To keep quiet is better than telling a bad thing”
• Several evils, transgression and indecencies originate form misuse of the tongue.
• Similarly, faith is also linked read more >>
