Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

‘Wa ta‘āwanū ‘ala l-birri wa t-taqwā wa la ta‘āwanū ‘ala l-lithmī wa l-‘udwān’, ‘And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.’ (Qur’ān 05:02). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

This is the best thing for all humanity, for Muslims also. This must be for Muslims. This order is a must for believers. To help each other in the good thing; charity or helping people with anything. It can be by hand, by tongue, by anything you can help. There are many, thousands of ways for helping people. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Help.” Be together. “Ta’āwanu” means cooperate and help each other. And don’t cooperate in doing bad things, in doing not good things. Don’t do this. This is for humans. Whoever says, “I am a human”, must be like this. A Muslim must be even more like this. They must help each other. Give naṣīḥah, advice. Give help.

Because many people think they are doing good, but they are doing very wrong things. For this, they must ask for help, “Am I doing good or am I doing bad things? I thought it is good for me to do this; it is good according to my thinking,” but when you ask, you find out that it’s not good, it’s a bad thing. And this becomes a big help for you. Because it wakes you up from doing sin, doing bad things without knowing. Sometimes you do something you thought it is good, but in reality, it is bad. May Allāh ﷻ grant us to be happy with helping and people helping us, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ bless you.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
