Reconciliation Between People and Its Virtue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, among the virtues that Islam directed us toward and which call for brotherhood in faith is reconciliation between people. In this regard, Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anfal 8:1] How does Honorable Shaykh Salih view this reconciliation? Is reconciliation between the killer and the family of the victim, or between the family of the killer and the family of the victim, considered among the successful acts of reconciliation between people?
Answer:
Yes, reconciliation between people is settling the dispute between them and ending the hostility between them, as well as between those who differ or are at odds with one another. One reconciles them by fostering communication and love between them. This is a great gate. There is no good in much of their private conversation, as Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:114]. And in the hadith: And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Anfal 8:1] Reconciliation between people is a great gate among the gates of righteousness and good, and Allah the Exalted will reward the reconcilers with their great reward. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.

لَّا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِّن نَّجْوَاهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِSo reconcile between two people, and that is charity.
فعدلوا بين اثنين صدقة.So fear Allah and amend that which is between you and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you should be believers.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَThe presenter:
