Hurting Someone Or Abusing Him In Islam Allah says in Quran “O you who believe! Let not (one) people laugh at (another) people perchance they may be better than they, nor let women(laugh) at (other) women, perchance they may be better than they; and do not find fault with your own people nor call one another by nick names.” (Surah al-Hujurāt 49:11) In Islam exposing a believer, taunting, mocking, cheating, lying or any other act that hurts him is strictly forbidden. Quran says that Allah will always be with those who believe “...And helping the believers is ever incumbent on Us.” (Surah ar-Rūm 30:47) One should not find faults in the believer Imam Baqir (a.s.) and Imam Sadiq (a.s.) have said, “The deed that brings one very close to infidelity is that a person considers someone as his brother in faith but he keeps track of his defects and misdeeds so that one day he can use them to criticise the believer.” (Al-Kāfi Vol. 2 page 354) Abusing a believer or hurting him is a great sin in Islam and is similar to throwing oneself in destruction. Islam promotes respect and peace The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Abusing a believer is like throwing oneself into destruction.” (Al-Kāfi Vol. 2 page 359) A hadith in this regard is as follows Abu Hurayrah who reported that the Prophet said: “You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I guide you to that which would make you love one another? Spread greetings (Salaam) abundantly amongst yourselves” [Muslim] So one should not - Hurt a believer - Mock or abuse him - Find faults in him - Taunt him, give him inflict, should not even force him for something bad or evil - Trick, play or lie to him and control his tongue as to avoid hurting other - And should Love the believe May Allah forgive & guide us.
