Adab Neighbourhood


Islam commands Muslims to be good neighbors. In fact, so often bequeath to Gabriel with a good neighbor, the Prophet never thought neighbors are heirs. Said the Prophet, as narrated by Aisha,'' Gabriel always bequeath to me of the neighbor until I thought that he would inherit it.'' (Bukhari, Muslim).

However, inheritance or legacy was meant for Muslims Gabriel is always to maintain good relations with other neighbors. Good neighbors, including spreading the greetings when they meet, greet, ask how she was, a faint smile, and send a gift. Word of the Prophet Muhammad,'' O Abu Dharr, if you cook the vegetables then multiply and distribute water to your neighbor.'' (Muslim).

See how light the teachings of the Prophet, but the impact is extraordinary for us harmony and harmony in society. To give the gift does not have to be expensive gifts, but enough to give vegetables a day-to-day we cook.

To maintain good relations with neighbors, he also ordered to tolerate each other their feelings. '' Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day,'' said the Prophet,'' then he should not hurt his neighbor.'' (Bukhari).

Once, a friend who asked the Prophet about a woman who is known for diligent praying, fasting, and alms, but he also often hurt his neighbor with his tongue. Prophet confirmed,'' he pantasnya in the fires of hell!''

Then, the friend was asked again about another woman who is known a little praying and fasting, but often berinfak and not hurt his neighbor with his tongue. Rasulullah replied,'' He deserves to go to heaven!'' (Ahmad).

A woman struggling perform the obligatory prayers, night waking, keep thirst and hunger, as well as the expense of the property to berinfak, but became redundant because of the poor in greetings with neighbors recalled. Prophet vowed to people who behave that way, three times, with his oath,'' By God no faith, no faith for the sake of Allah, for Allah does not believe ...!''

Asked,'' Who, O Messenger of Allah?''
He said,'' People who are neighbors do not ever feel safe from bad behavior.'' (Bukhari).

One time, Aisha never confused about who among tentangganya should come first. Then, he asked the Prophet,'' O Messenger of Allah, I have two neighbors, to whom I should give a gift?'' He said,'' To the nearest house.'' (Bukhari).

Prophet makes the character of the neighborhood as a reference for the good of one's judgment. He said,'' The best friend is with Allah is the best (mind and character) of his friend, the best of the best neighbors are the neighbors.'' (Tirmidhi).
