0:05
Ease and mercy
0:08
Neighborly connection
0:14
A radiant, brotherly bond
0:17
Flowing seamlessly between neighbors living side by side
0:21
Brought together by a single neighborhood
0:24
Or a congregational mosque
0:26
Where your fragrant virtues pour forth
0:29
Giving to them without expectation of gratitude
0:32
And honoring them with humility
0:35
Until goodness permeates all our qualities
0:39
So that you see nothing therein but blossoming lamps
0:42
Or moonlit gardens
0:45
That is the excellence of neighborliness through gifts and kindness
0:49
Take this practical lesson at this very moment
0:54
And set out to apply it in a clear and delightful way
0:59
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:02
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:06
"O Abu Dharr,
1:08
if you cook a broth, increase its water,
1:12
and look after your neighbors."
1:14
In this care lies connection and neighborliness,
1:18
generosity and benevolence,
1:20
affection and appreciation,
1:22
kinship and community.
1:24
Do not speak of what you do,
1:27
and protect the honor and family of your neighbor,
1:31
as well as their needs and circumstances,
1:33
for there are secrets within homes,
1:35
and there is brotherhood and etiquette within neighborhoods.
1:39
In the Sahihayn, he said:
1:41
"Let him honor his neighbor,"
1:43
and he said:
1:45
"He should not harm his neighbor."
1:47
In the extra broth, when offered with kindness,
1:51
there is goodness and purity,
1:53
and it is more beneficial than an extravagant gift or a luxurious item
1:57
that is boasted of everywhere
1:59
without regard for sanctity or the rights of neighborliness.
2:03
And Allah is the One whose help is sought.
