In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Islam teaches us to beware of hatred and malice. Malicious hatred is a desire to harm people and to bring evil to them. It is a disease of the heart whose consequences are destructive to the individual, the community, and the religion. Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of Allah as brothers . Ibn Hajar said: The faith is not complete until a Muslim abandons envy, rancor, malice, and fraud. Islam teaches us not to hate people. Rather, we should hate for evil to come to people. This is a necessary element of our love for good to come to people. Mu’adh ibn Anas reported: He asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about virtuous faith. The Prophet said: The most virtuous faith is to love for the sake of Allah, to hate for the sake of Allah, and to work your tongue in the remembrance of Allah. The proper way to purify our hearts from hatred is to pray for guidance and goodness for the oppressors whom we hate. By doing so, the angel will pray for similar goodness for us. Abu Ad-Darda reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There is no Muslim servant who supplicates for his brother behind his back except that the angel says: And for you the same.
