Permission to Reconcile

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

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.’ Ṣadaqa Llāhu l- ‘Aẓīm.

The order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says Muslims and Mu’mins are brothers. If Fitnah occurs between brothers, make peace between them. This is a great virtue, a great mercy from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. “If you do so, My mercy will be upon you” -, ’La’allakum Turhamoon’, ‘That you may receive mercy.’ (Qur’ān 49:10). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Shaytan always goes in between Mu’mins in order to break them up. When he breaks them up, a person goes under the control of shaytan. He makes backbiting, does badness and does things that Allah ﷻ has forbidden. As our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, everything done against Mu’mins is Haram. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has made their blood, property, wealth, life and honor Haram. We must pay attention to this.

Therefore, when there is a dispute, shaytan is available to make people do all kinds of things. Therefore, if there is something between people, with goodness there is permission [to reconcile them] even if it’s not the right thing. Even if they say, “This man loves you. This man doesn’t say anything about you,” it is appropriate to make peace between people, to reconcile and to improve their relations.

It happens otherwise in this time. They encourage people, or when a wife quarrels with her husband, instead of giving them advice, families tell them to get divorced immediately. Women take over their homes. Instead of calming them down, they encourage them to fight more to never return to each other. People of the present time are very - They remain alone then, they neither get married, nor reconcile then.

These are important things. People of this time are determined to be right. If you are right, sometimes you need to put up with to get along well. Families should advise this, or they should try various things in order to calm them down when there is Fitnah between people. Relations between Muslims, couples, families, between children and parents are things Allah ﷻ likes. We must do as much as we can for all of them to get along well with each other. May Allah ﷻ give good livelihood. It is easy to make Fitnah but difficult to make peace. May Allah ﷻ help us. May there be no Fitnah in families and between people. May good people be together insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
