0:23
Its consequence is evil.
0:25
It leads to people being repelled and dispersing from around the one who is harsh and hard-hearted.

The blameworthy form of harshness
0:53
is the hardness of heart in one's dealings with all people,
0:57
whether in calling others to Allah,
0:59
or in worldly transactions.
1:02
As for dealing with the disbelievers and the hypocrites,
1:05
in the context of striving against them with the spear and the tongue,
1:08
harshness is not blameworthy in that regard.
1:10
Rather, it is praiseworthy and required,
1:13
to strike fear into them and constrain them.

The Exalted says:
1:18
"O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites,"
1:22
"and be harsh with them."
1:24

1:26
"O you who have believed,"
1:28
“O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).” (9:123)
1:31
"and let them find in you harshness."
