Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

THE RIGHTS OF THE NEIGHBOUR In leading his life, a believer should brave all hardships with self-confidence. In that way he will keep on progressing. A ccording to a tradition, the Prophet of Islam once observed: “By God, he is not a believer, by God, he is not a believer, by God, he is not a believer.” People asked, “O Prophet of God, who is not believer?” The Prophet replied, “One from whom his neighbour is not safe.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 6016) A human being is a social animal. Wherever he lives, he lives in society. Even if he travels, he has some cotravellers. All these people are his neighbours. Now, there are two types of people. One type consists of those who recognizes others’ need and does not do anything which will hurt the feelings of others or anything which may create problems for others. He never does them any harm. This is the person who cares for the rights of neighbour.
