The Honour and Sanctity of the Believers

Pearl of Wisdom

'Verily Hasan b. 'Ali b. Abi Talib was the best worshipper of his time, the most abstemious and the best of them all. Whenever he went for Hajj', he went on foot, and sometimes even bare-footed. When he remembered death, he cried. When he remembered the grave, he cried. When he was reminded of the Day of Judgment and Resurrection, he cried. When he was reminded of the crossing over the Bridge [outstretched over Hell], he cried. When he was reminded of the great exposure before Allah exalted be His remembrance he would gasp in such a way that he would faint. When he stood for his prayers, his limbs Imam Husayn b. ?Ali (AS) trembled before his Lord. When he was reminded of Paradise and the Fire, he was greatly disturbed as if bitten by a snake, and asked Allah for Paradise and sought refuge in Him from the Fire.'

The Honour and Sanctity of the Believers

No one respects the honour of the believers except the person who respects the honour and sacred claim of Allah over the believers. The person who best fulfils this sacred claim with respect to Allah and His Messenger is he who is the most particular in his respect for the believers' claim to honour. Whoever thinks little of the believers' honour has rent apart the raiment of his belief.

The Holy Prophet said, 'Part of esteem for Allah is to respect those who are near to Allah in belief.' And again, 'Whoever is not merciful to a young person nor respectful to an old person is not one of us. Do not call a Muslim an unbeliever when repentance can make up for it, unless he is someone that Allah has mentioned in His Book.'

Allah said,

The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire. (4:145)
