We chose to meet for
lunch. We were totally energized. All things considered, we were getting
together after quite a while. As we found a spot at our table, we began
talking, making up for lost time with all that had occurred in the previous few
years, when I saw a touch of pressure creating between two of my companions.
Then, at that point, out of nowhere, just right in front of me, before I knew
it, it exploded into an appalling contention. Furious words flew among them and
before I could effectively stop it, both my companions stomped out of the spot,
vowing to never converse with one another until the end of time!
"Subhaan Allaah! …
.what simply occurred here?" I said to myself, attempting to process the
terrible rate that just occurred. Two of my dear companions battling with one
another!
Large numbers of us face
something almost identical a few times in our lives… … our families and friends
and family quarreling about something so minor, our companions not conversing
with one another over the smallest of things, individuals evading one another
and remaining irate, even a very long time after the matter occurred, to the
degree that occasionally they don't recall why they are battling!
Also, we as a whole know
individuals who may not be transparently battling and contending, yet we
realize that there is certainly some sort of one or the other antagonism or
desire between them, or even some sort of misconception among themselves.
So what's a Muslim to do
in such a circumstance? Hold on and watch?!!
Certainly NOT.
What is needed from us
in such a circumstance is that we try for some degree of reconciliation between
them for Allaah.
"The devotees are
only siblings, so try for some degree of reconciliation between your two
siblings and be careful with Allah that maybe you might be shown
leniency." (Al-Hujaraat:10)
What's more,
respectable, in fact is the demonstration of trying for some degree of
reconciliation and accommodating between two contending parties. Indeed, it is
better than deliberate fasting and sunnah and nafl supplication.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu
Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"Will I not advise
you of something that is superior to fasting, supplication and noble
cause?" They said: Yes. He said: "Accommodating between two
individuals, for the defilement of that which is between the hearts is the
shaver (destroyer). It is the shaver, and I don't say that it shaves hair,
rather that it shaves strict commitment."(al-Tirmidhi-hasan)
Subhaan Allaah! Better
than fasting, supplication and noble cause! That simply demonstrates how
significant it is for us to accommodate between individuals.
Indeed, it is essential
to the point that, in spite of the fact that lying is haraam all by itself,
yet, Allaah has allowed in any event, lying to accommodate among individuals
and to eliminate dissension and struggle. This is a direct result of the
incredible adverse results clashes and contentions have, on the strict
responsibility of people just as networks.
Umm Kalthoom said that
she heard the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) say:
"He isn't a liar
who accommodates between individuals, passing on great messages and expressing
beneficial things." (al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
She additionally said:
"I didn't hear him
(Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) award any concession concerning whatever
individuals say of lies besides in three cases: accommodating between
individuals, war, and what a man says to his better half, or a lady says to her
significant other. (Muslim)
Accommodating between
questioning gatherings is a methods for procuring incredible prizes. Allaah
says:
"There is nothing
but bad in a lot of their private discussion aside from somebody who charges
giving of noble cause, great deeds by and large or making great that which is
between individuals. Whoever does that looking for the joy of Allah, We will
give him an extraordinary prize." (An-Nisaa: 114)
In any case, while
trying for some degree of reconciliation between questioning gatherings, do
recall that Islam has a specific philosophy and way to deal with this issue.
It's anything but an issue of basic "compromise". We can't just
arrange and bargain until we arrive at something pleasing to the two of them
since it might just be treacherous or not in agreement to Islaam. As Muslims,
we add Allah into the condition.
Rather than assessing
the two situations comparable to one another, we need to analyze every one of
them according to what satisfies Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala. For, it is very
workable for two Muslims to be in debate with one another but, neither of their
positions be satisfactory as indicated by Sharee'ah – regardless of whether the
opposite side were to acknowledge it. So when two Muslims or two gatherings of
Muslims differ or battle, it has arrived to call every one of them to what
Allaah says in that matter. Allah said:
"Assuming two
gatherings of adherents get into a battle, make great that which is between
them. Then, at that point, in the event that one side violates against the
other, battle the violators until they get back to the request for Allah.
Assuming they so return, make great that which is between them with equity and
be impartial. Without a doubt, Allah adores the individuals who are
evenhanded." (Al-Hujaraat:9)
Thus, on the off chance
that you know anyone out there, contending, not conversing with each other,
disregarding one another, or essentially having doubt and sick inclination
towards some other individual Muslims, feel free to try for some degree of
reconciliation between them. Do it for Allaah, recalling the award and
requesting that he acknowledge it from you. Not exclusively will it bring you
gigantic award and pardoning from Him, however it will be perhaps the noblest
thing that you would do.
Ali ibn Abi Talib said:
"Something which brings absolution is fulfilling your kindred
Muslim."
Anas said: "Whoever
tried for some degree of reconciliation between two, Allah gives him for each
word the [reward of] liberating a slave."
Abu Umama said:
"Walk a mile to visit a debilitated individual and walk two miles to visit
your sibling for Allah and walk three miles to try for some degree of
reconciliation between two."
Remind yourself and them
that a Muslim ought to keep away from division and contrast totally. Evasion,
disdain, dismissal and jealousy all annihilate the Muslim people group and
render it defenseless against all types of fitna. Assuming, nonetheless,
somebody gets into such circumstances of question, then, at that point they have
a limit of three days after which they ought to address the debate and end the
awful inclination between them.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu
Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"Try not to
blacklist each other, don't get some distance from each other, don't abhor each
other and don't begrudge each other. Be captives of Allah, siblings. What's
more, it's anything but considered a Muslim to stay away from another for over
three days." (al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
What's more,
"Whoever neglects
his sibling for a year, maybe he has shed his blood." (Abu Dawood-saheeh
by al-Albaani)
May Allaah eliminate all
types of hatred and sick sentiments among us and empower us to cherish each
other for the good of He Alone. Ameen..
