Khutbah at Masjid al-Nabawi Refrain from Hurting or Harming Others

 Dr Mozammel Haque

O believers, please refrain from hurting and teasing anyone else, as Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala says that those who hurt others they earn little action in their account, said the Imam of the Masjid al-Nabawi, Madinah al-Munawwarah, Dr. Sheikh Hussein al-Sheikh in his Khutbah on 11th of December 2020.

The Imam of the Masjid al-Nabawi mentioned, “In the explanation of the Qur’an, our Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihey wa sallam has explained and he has given a very dire warning to those who commit harm and hurt others – any human beings or animals, specially believers. Muhammad Sallallahu alaihey wa sallam has said a believer is the brother of every believer; he never lets his brother down or hurt him.”

 

Imam Dr. Sheikh Hussein al-Sheikh said, “We cannot harm any animal; so what about harming other human beings. As Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihey wa sallam has warned in a public address that all those people who seem to act and pretend to be Muslim but their heart is not completely Muslim; stop hurting and doing harms to others, your fellow brothers and stop derogating them, stop making them feel ashamed of for certain things because those who do like this, they will be given same treatment sooner or later. Even in our neighbourhoods, we should respect, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, that those who are believers they will never harm any neighbourhood.”

 


He also mentioned, “These days social media is used to derogate individuals and to hurt even communities and religions on the balance those who end up doing wrong to others and hurt others, they will be facing their reckoning. Hurting others is not on individuals one to one only; it also includes hurting others and public benefit and creating public nuisance as it is called. Our Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihey wa sallam has said that those who pollute public waters and public highway and relief themselves in an inappropriate places, they deserve all the condemnation from others and from Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala.”

 

The Imam said, “There is a dire warning Prophet Sallallahu alaihey wa sallam has said that those who caused public outcry, those who caused general harm on public highway or pathway, then they deserve curse from all the people.”

 

Imam Dr Sheikh Hussein al-Sheikh said , “Let us urge all the believers to train ourselves, to purify our hearts, clean our heart from any rancour or any bad feelings for others. Purity of hearts and clean heart and clean slate and plate from bad feelings to any other people, any other groups or communities is one of the best things praising Allah in the Book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala as Ibrahim alaihey wa Salam said O Allah, don’t humiliate me on the Day of Judgement because on that Day of Judgement only those who came with pure heart they are the successful.”

So he said I just have no rancour, no bad feelings for anybody else and I just not envious of anybody whom Allah has favoured in this world. Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As just saw him, just praying normal Farz prayer, not special prayers only, whenever he turns his sides while sleeping he will mention the name of Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala.”
