Muslims Must Wish Goodness to Each Other

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 49:10). ‘Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa fa-‘aslihu bayna akhawaykum’, ‘The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers.’ Allah ‘Azza waJalla says believers are brothers, make peace between brothers. Let there not be dispute or resentment between brothers. When there isn’t, the Mercy of Allah ﷻ will be upon you. The Mercy of Allah ﷻ is the greatest Barakah, the greatest Thawab for people, for Muslims. It is a virtue. It is what we ask for.

People don’t know this. They feel animosity towards each other. There is always enmity and resentment between brothers regarding property, wealth and other things. This is from shaytan. The shaytan wants you to be enemies of each other. But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says to be brothers to each other. Even if you are not brothers by blood, a Muslim is a brother for another Muslim. Just like he wishes goodness to himself, he should wish goodness to his brother as well.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ said a person with perfect Iman, with true Iman should ask for the same goodness to Muslims that he asks for himself. When he asks for it and it is given, it has great benefit to him as well. There is both physical and spiritual benefit. There is nothing like “If others are fine you will be in badness.” This thought is the thought of shaytan, thought of Kafirs.

Therefore, when you have something good happening, they always think it goes away from them. Actually, it is given by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is something that Allah ﷻ gives. But they think this, because they don’t have belief in spirituality as they are in Kufr. When you are in benefit, they think it is gone from them. This is their thinking.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says the opposite. The more you help each other, the more Barakah comes and the more goodness you get. Nothing will diminish but will increase with the permission of Allah ﷻ. Therefore, we should ask for goodness here and hereafter for Muslims. We should ask for goodness for them. May Allah ﷻ help all of us.

When you are cheated by shaytan and have envy, saying “He has it but I don’t”, you lose a lot physically and even more spiritually. Envious people never have peace in their lives. They live in sadness and suffering all the time, thinking “They bought this. They have this, I don’t have it. They have more, I have less”. May Allah ﷻ protect us all from the evil of shaytan and the evil of our egos. May He ﷻ give us all strong Iman.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
