Getting Rid of Hostility and Hatred
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salim Muhammad from al-Jawf says: How do we get rid of hostility and hatred? And what is the meaning of Allah the Mighty and Majestic saying:[Al-Isra 17:53]
Answer:
Yes, there is no doubt that the Muslim’s position regarding these matters is to elevate himself above quarreling, cursing, and insulting. He should respect himself and not be ignorant with the ignorant. Rather, he must elevate himself above these bad situations and difficult positions. He elevates himself through the mindfulness of Allah the Mighty and Majestic and obedience to Allah, and he does not degrade himself through sins, evil deeds, and forbidden pleasures. Some people think they honor themselves through forbidden desires and forbidden pleasures, but in reality, they have degraded and defiled themselves with sins and evil deeds. They only elevate themselves through obedience to Allah, staying away from sins, and avoiding the causes of punishment. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you.
