Fazilat Ka Mayar Taqwa Hai

Book Name:Fazilat Ka Mayar Taqwa Hai

1.   No tribe should ridicule another tribe. It could be the case that the people you are mocking are better than you in this world and the Hereafter.

2.   It is not permissible for Muslims to taunt one another.

3.   It is forbidden [Haraam] for Muslims to call each other by bad names.

4.   The one who does so is a transgressing [Fasiq] Muslim.

5.   The one who does not repent from these sins is an oppressor [Zaalim].

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا states: “If a sinful Muslim repents from his sins, then disgracing him for that sin is included in this prohibition. Likewise, it is impermissible to call another Muslim a dog, donkey, pig or by another name that is offensive or by something that exposes his sins. All these cases fall under this prohibition.”[1] Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ said: “If I look down on someone and mock him, I fear that Allah will turn me into a dog.”[2]

Dear Islamic brothers! You heard that thinking you are superior to others, despising other Muslims without a Shar’i reason or making fun of others is a great sin. Therefore, if somebody is involved in this sin, he should come to his senses and adopt humility; as declaring someone to be superior or inferior is the choice of Allah Almighty and His Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. If you have looked down on Muslims and hurt their feelings, if possible, you should find them and ask them for forgiveness. You should also repent in the court of Allah Almighty and make Du’a to be free of this sin.
