  1. Rights of Neighbors

  2. What our society tells us about our neighbors' rights • We humans live in a community and it is important to interact with people around us. Socializing with your neighbors is very important since they play an important part in your daily lives. By the very thought of neighbor, we have some qualities that we expect them to have like friendship and helpfulness. To get a positive vibe from your neighbor, it is important that you become a good neighbor at the first place. To foster a good neighboring relationship is not always easy. It is neither too difficult.

  3. What our religion teaches us about our neighbors' rights • Apart from a man's parents, children and near relatives, there also exists a permanent association and contact between him and his neighbours. The Prophet (SAW) had attached great importance to this and has constantly urged the Ummah to pay due regard to the rights of neighbours to the extent that he had declared good neighborliness to be part of Iman (Faith) and an essential requisite for salvation. Prophet of Allah (SAW) said "The rights of the neighbour upon you are that; If he falls ill you visit (and take care of) him; if he dies you attend his funeral (and take part in the burial arrangements); if he commits an evil deed, you prevent it from being known (i.e. do not give publicity to it); if he is favoured by good-fortune, you congratulate him; if a calamity befalls him, you grieve in sympathy with him; and that you restrain from erecting your building higher than his in such a way that the passage of fresh air is blocked from his house (unless you obtained his consent) and further, (you take care that) the aroma of your cooking pot does not cause sorrow to him (and his children) except that you send some of it (the food) to him."
