The Incident of the People of the Trench
On the other hand, the person whom people fear, from whom they expect no goodness, and whose harm they try to avoid, such a person is evil.[1]
A Muslim’s Life, Wealth, and Honour Are Sacred
Dear Islamic brothers, our beautiful religion Islam guarantees the protection of every Muslim’s life, wealth and honour.
The final Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: کُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَی الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ دَمُہٗ وَمَالُہٗ وَعِرْضُہٗ “The blood, wealth, and honour of every Muslim are unlawful for another Muslim.”[2]
The renowned exegete of the Quran, Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khānرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes under this Hadith: “A Muslim must not take another Muslim’s wealth without their permission, disgrace anyone, or unjustly kill a Muslim, for all these are severe crimes.”[3]
He writes elsewhere:
Do not consider a Muslim inferior in your heart. Do not address him with degrading words or an insulting title, and do not mock him. This flaw is widespread among us today; due to someone’s profession, lineage or poverty, a Muslim brother is deemed inferior because he belongs to a certain caste or community. Islam has abolished all such distinctions. When a bee draws nectar from different flowers, the result is called honey. When fire burns various types of wood, it becomes ash. Similarly, once a person holds fast to the cloak of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, all Muslims become one—whether Abyssinian or Roman, fair-skinned or dark-skinned.[4]
Imam al-Ṭabarānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه relates that the beloved Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
مَنْ اٰذَی مُسْلِمًا فَقَدْ اٰذَانِیْ وَمَنْ اٰذَانِیْ فَقَدْ اٰذَی اللہَ
