| How Good Are We To Our Neighbours? by Lukgaf(op): 9:22am On May 08 |
When last did you check on your neighbour? Do your neighbours know you as a kind person or as someone difficult to live around? Sadly, many of us today hardly know the people living beside us. Modern house structures and fenced compounds have reduced interaction. Everybody stays behind gates and walls. But despite this, Islam still places great importance on the rights of neighbours. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Jibril continued advising me regarding the neighbour until I thought he would make him an heir.” (Bukhari & Muslim) SubḥānAllāh. Look at how serious the rights of neighbours are in Islam. Being a good neighbour is not only about giving food. It includes: - Avoiding harm - Speaking respectfully - Assisting when possible - Checking on them during difficulty - Controlling noise and disturbance - Showing kindness and patience Some people pray Tahajjud and fast often, yet their neighbours suffer from their attitude. The Prophet ﷺ also said: They said: Who, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “The one whose neighbour is not safe from his harm.” (Bukhari) Let us revive this forgotten Sunnah. Even if walls separate our houses, kindness should not disappear from our hearts. May Allah make us among those who are beneficial to their neighbours and loved by the people around them. Āmīn. |

It cost nothing to be a good person. Remember, your neighbors are your closest family member especially if you stay alone. |

We are gravitating to a phase when we no longer know our neighbours let alone good neighborliness.l grew up in the days of when neighbours were like a family.The "neighbours helplem neighbour" parlance was real.The western culture and lifestyle is permeating rapidly.The rural areas are relatively better. |

Well I don't have to be nice to them as I always mind my business. If I even see some of them far outside the house, I can't recognize them. Minding my business and flourishing |
