while later research reveals that the news was incomplete and conclusions drawn from that were also incomplete. Accepting any news without research often causes harm and creates misgivings.

In such a situation, it is our responsibility to thoroughly investigate the news before accepting it. No news should be considered authentic without carrying out proper research. 59. All Human Beings Are Brothers The Prophet of Islam said, “O God, I bear witness that all humans are brothers and sisters to each other.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 1508) This tradition explains the basis of human relationships. According to this, people all over the world are like one family. Everyone should treat others the same way as they treat their brothers and sisters. This is the principle of a global community. This principle eliminates the division between us and them. This principle binds the entire human race in a stronger relationship, and no other relationship is stronger than this. 60. Three Forbidden Things The Prophet said that three things of one person are forbidden to another person: his blood, his property, and his honor. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 1739) This principle sets the boundaries of freedom between one person and another. Every human being is free, but his freedom ends when he becomes a threat to others’ life, property, and honor.
