Generally, people living around the house are called neighbors. But sometimes tour or work partner is also called neighbor. Neighbors are the closest people of the person who know more about their news than others. Therefore, a lot of importance has been given to the neighbor in Islam and his rights have been seen to be very big. So we will discuss the importance and dignity of the neighbor, the responsibilities and duties towards the neighbor, and various issues.
As I said earlier, those who live around the house are called neighbors. But there are differences among the scholars. Someone says that around forty houses in front of their own house are neighboring borders. Someone says that the person who fell with you was your neighbor, etc. But the most acceptable opinion is that the real neighbor whose house is next to his own house He will be attached to his home or to a neighbor nearby, more important than a neighbor. Now the question is why would it be so important to the neighbor? Let's take a look at what the Holy Qur'an and the Prophet (peace be upon him) have said about this.
Allah Almighty said in verse 36 of Surah An-Nisaa of the Holy Quran: "All of you worship Allah. Do not associate anything with Him. Use your parents well. Take good care of relatives, orphans, and the poor. Use friendly relations with relatives, neighbors, neighbors, neighbors, and slaves.
On the other hand, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said that Gabriel Alaihis Salam was so overwhelmed me about the neighbor that at one stage I thought that Allah would have made the neighbor heir.
After the statement of the Qur'an and Hadith about the neighbors, we will present a few things about our neighbor's rights.
First: Neighbors can not be hurt by talking and work. That is to curse him, give him a gift, make his ghibat, garbage in front of his house, disturb him, inspire his children to ruin his house or not to obstruct - these can not be done. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said about it, that he who believes in Allah and the Hereafter should not let the neighbors suffer. He also said that the person will not enter Paradise, whose neighbor is not free from his troubles.
Other duties to the neighbor are: help in need, if you want to use it, give it. Giving gifts to neighbors, sending food to his house etc. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said about it, when you cook curry, give more water to it and give it to your neighbors. In addition, he has been asked to provide loan to the neighbor if he wants a loan, and to assist him in his need. The Messenger of Allah (্লাম) said, "He is not a believer who eats stomach, while his neighbor is hungry."
Another Muslim has many rights to a Muslim. These rights, but we can get them first in the neighborhood. Then the instructions of Islam will be admonished and the relationship with neighbors will increase. These rights are some of the obligations, salam to the neighbors, answering his salam, if someone gets sick, serve him, invite him on different occasions, and take part in his invitation etc.
Just as sympathy should be shown in the affliction of the neighbor, as well as his good news-child, when his child has passed the examination, when someone gets married, and on occasion of this occasion, he will be given a sermon and bless him.
If we look at the family of the Prophet, we will see that they were more concerned with their neighbors than their own families, they would be given to Allah's court for their welfare. This time I have heard a historical event about this.
"Every night the baby sleeps every night. Surprisingly, Mother is praying Tahajjud's prayers. The boy also habitually rose from bed and stood up to pray at his mother's side. While praying with his mother, he noticed a thing. Mother praying at the end of prayer, praying to God for the welfare of the neighbors, for their sins and for their forgiveness. But do not pray for themselves!
After so many days, the boy could not stop his curiosity. He asked his mother, "Mother, you pray only for the good of neighbors during prayer. Do not pray for yourself or for any of us! What is the reason? "
The loving mother dragged her boy to the chest and said, My friend! why I act like that ? You know, the right of the neighbor is before. If you wish for the good of your neighbor, Allah Ta'ala is very pleased. So I pray for them. But also pray for you. But before the right of the neighbor, remember it - what?
Reader! You must know the identity of this great mother and her son! Yes, this great mother was the son of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) Hazrat Fatima (Sa) and the boy who was said to be Imam Hasan Hadrat Fatimar is the son of love.
In spite of insistence on the responsibilities of neighbors, many people use bad things with their neighbors, causing them unnecessary pain.
Once an Ansar Companion bought a new house in Madinah and started living there. But within a few days he found out that his neighbor was not worth the benefit. So he came to the Messenger of Allah and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I bought a house a few days ago and started living here. But sadly, my neighbor is not just a rude person, she is very bitter. I can not escape from his evil despite repeated efforts. "
After all, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to four great scholars like Ali, Salman, Abu Jar and Mekdad (R), you will announce loudly among men and women in the mosque that a person who gets hurt due to the quarrelsome character, is not a believer.
This announcement was given three times after the Prophet's instruction. Then Allah's Messenger (সা) turned around his holy hands and said, "The people of the four houses of four houses will be treated as a neighbor. "
There was a brief discussion about the neighbor. This discussion will be beneficial only when we behave well with our neighbors, we will be sad and sad in their sadness.
