Beware of Hatred and Malice
Islam teaches us to beware of hatred and malice. It is a disease of the heart whose consequences are destructive to the individual, the community, and the religion.
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
"Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of Allah as brothers."
Sahih Muslim 2559
Ibn Hajar said:
" The faith is not complete until a Muslim abandons envy, rancor, malice, and fraud." ( Fath ul-Bari )
" The faith is not complete until a Muslim abandons envy, rancor, malice, and fraud." ( Fath ul-Bari )
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1322
Islam teaches us not to hate people. Rather, we should hate for evil to come to people. This is a necessary element of our love for good to come to people.
