Let us examine other Hadtih : “ He whosever believes in Allah’s Apostle , صلى الله عليه و سلم
and the final Day of Judgment must be good to his neighbor.” This Hadith is reported by Muslim. Of course , this hadith is self-explanatory as it ties in good faith and
strong belief with the state of being good to one’s own neighbors.
This is an
act of high consideration to the social ties in society as the neighborhood
represents an essential nucleus or part of the society at large. Islam does not
neglect such important rights of immediate neighbors who at, at times becomes
closer than relatives or the distant family members . One may see his neighbors
more than he sees his family members. In terms of pressing needs and things that
require prompts attention and immediate help , assistance or solutions, a
distant relative or far away family member would be helpless and may be useless.
A neighbor is close and comes immediately to the rescue of his needy neighbor
would be of tremendous help and value. This is one of the reasons why Islam
capitalizes on the ties and relationship of neighbors.
