Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in ḥadīth sharīf,
“لاَ ضَرَرَ وَلاَ ضِرَارَ”
“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”
A Muslim, does not harm. He does not cause harm. He doesn’t harm, meaning he doesn’t hurt. He neither hurts people, nor animals nor anything else. He doesn’t harm. He also prevents harm. He prevents others from causing harm. It is the attribute of a Muslim that does good to those around him, does good to humanity and does not harm the place where he lives.
Now, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, when people are angry about anything, they harm others, they harm themselves. All of this is forbidden. It’s unacceptable for a Muslim to do this. A mu’min can’t harm anyone like that. He’d only harm himself. Therefore, the people we live with now don’t care at all. Even if you throw trash on the road, that’s still harm, it’s badness.
That’s why, the believer, the Muslim must pay attention even to the smallest details. There are fires and I don’t what else and so on. Some say, “Some people fabricated it.” Whoever does this commits a major sin. Because if he did it knowingly – or it could also be done unknowingly where people throw things – he must be careful with that. He smokes, he throws the cigarette, he causes fire.
Another one, I don’t know why he’s angry with the government, he causes fire. There are lives burning there. There are innocent lives, animals and insects. If he harms them, their curses will surely fall upon him. What he does, doesn’t harm others. The greatest harm he inflicts is on himself. He’d be doing it to his family, he’d be doing it to his ancestors. His harm will befall them all.
That’s why, we must be careful. One must be careful about what he does. The ḥadīth sharīf consists of two words, but it is sufficient for all of mankind. If they did this, the world would be filled with smiles every day. May Allāh ﷻ grant them mind and understanding. May He ﷻ reform people.
People now are, “وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ”, “Wa idha l-wuhūshu hushirat”, “And when the wild beasts are gathered.” (Qur’ān 81:05). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, when beasts come out. People have become like wild beasts, animals.
May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ improve them. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.
