Ene dimoune so l'honneur trouve dans so l'honnêteté, so la force dans so sincérité, et so beauté dans so simplicité. Hazrat Mufti Meerun Sahib (Rahimahullah)

Social life

Fanaticism

It is absolutely logical for a person to love his community and family. It is a mistake to label such a person as fanatic. According to the teaching of our Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam), it is not fanaticism to love one’s family or community. However, if one sides with a person or a partisan despite him being at fault, then this is fanaticism.

Helping the widows and the poor people

"A person who helps the widows and the poor people, is like a person who struggles in the path of Allah or like a person who remains engaged in Ibaadah at night and fasts during the day." (Saheeh Bukhari)

Social life

Politics

We heard that one needs to be an expert in lying in order to be a politician. If this is true, it means that a good Muslim cannot engage in politics nor can he be a good politician. As much as we know, there is no religion that authorises lying. This means that a man who has faith cannot be a good politician.

Social life

An ideal society

There must be justice so that people can live in harmony. Without justice, every individual in the society will feels threatened regarding his life, his wealth, his family and his dignity. A society where people must have fear for people more than the fear that they have for snakes, scorpions, etc., is really a barbaric society although it seems much civilised in the eyes of people.

Hadith

"Keep ties with the one who breaks ties with you. Forgive the one who was unjust to you. Behave well with the one who behaves badly with you."

[English version of "Hadice" – Al Jamiat – Vol.3 No.4]

Social life

The one who takes bribes = A criminal in society

A person who takes bribes is an undignified person. A society whereby everyone is taking bribes, is an undignified society although the people may seem sociable. This habit of taking bribes that prevails at all levels, ruins the future of many competent people who have done their best to have a good career. Unfortunately they did not get the opportunity to serve the society despite their qualifications, merely because they did not give bribes.
