LessonsCharacter, trust, and mutual care (Hadith 31–36)Quiz

الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ. وَالْمُؤْمِنُ مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى دِمَائِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ. وَالْمُجَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ. وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ الْخَطَايَا وَالذُّنُوبَ
The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand Muslims are safe. The believer is one whom people trust regarding their lives and property. The one who strives is one who strives against the self in obedience to Allah. The one who leaves is one who abandons errors and sins.

These four sentences explain responsibilities in conduct. After each label, مَنْ, “one who,” introduces the action. The next four parts distinguish tongue and hand, trust, self-discipline, and leaving sin. They are not an automatic judgment that a wrongful action places someone outside faith.

Four responsibilities in conduct

Character, trust, and mutual care (Hadith 31–36)
