People will treat others with kindness but become completely negligent when it comes to treating their neighbours well. It is commonly seen that people argue or fight with their neighbours mostly. The women of the house may begin arguing with neighbours because of an issue that arises regarding their children. This often leads to the men of the house conflicting with the neighbours too. May Allah protect us from arguing and fighting.

Remember! In matters of worship, you will be questioned about salah first. With regards to affairs, people who killed others unjustly will be
