The Honour and Sanctity of the Believers

Pearl of Wisdom

Amali al-Tusi, from Musa b. Sa'id al-Rasibi, who 'When Jacob went to Joseph (AS), Joseph came out with a group of people to receive him. He went past the wife of the governor while she was worshipping in one of her rooms. When she saw him she recognised him and called out to him with a sad voice, ?O rider, how long you have rendered me sorrowful how good piety is indeed in how it frees slaves! And how bad sinning is indeed in how it enslaves the free!'

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)
