Brothers! The purpose of honoring a Muslim is that we value every Muslim, because in his heart is a precious treasure given by Allah, which is 'Iman' (faith). Honoring does not only mean feeding someone, but also giving preference to the rights of others over your own and protecting their honor.
In the Holy Quran: Allah Almighty says: "Innamal Mu'minuna Ikhwatun" (Indeed, all believers are brothers to one another). In another place, He said: "Azillatin alal Mu'mineen" (Be humble and meek before the believers).
In the Hadith: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "A Muslim is one from whose hand and tongue another Muslim is safe." (Bukhari). In another place, he said: "None of you can be a perfect believer until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself."
"Brothers! The example of honoring a Muslim is like the 'organs of the body'. It is mentioned in the Hadith that all Muslims are like one body. If one part of the body is hurt, for example, a toe is injured or a thorn pricks it, the pain does not only remain in the foot, but the whole body becomes restless, tears come from the eyes, and the mind does not find peace.
Similarly, if a Muslim is hurt in any corner of the world, we should feel the pain in our hearts. This is the spirit of honoring a Muslim."
My brothers! A Muslim who recites the Kalima, no matter how sinful, how poor, or in dirty clothes, has the 'diamond of faith' in his heart.
We often see people's evils, see their sins, and start hating them.
Honoring a Muslim means that we hate the sin, but not the sinner. We value his faith and think about taking him out of the dirt and bringing him closer to Allah."
"The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'He is not one of us who does not respect our elders and have mercy on our young ones.'
Honoring a Muslim means:
If there is a religious scholar, he should be respected.
If there is an old person, he should be supported.
If someone is needy, he should be helped silently, so that the other hand does not even know."
"It is narrated about Hazrat Zainul Abideen (may Allah have mercy on him) that he used to load sacks of flour on his back in the darkness of the night and deliver them to the homes of the poor. No one knew who was giving it. When he passed away and was being bathed, black marks were found on his back. Then the people of the city came to know that these marks were due to carrying the burden of orphans and widows."
Let us become those who respect and honor every Muslim. There are three types of efforts for this:
1: Da'wah (Invitation)
"We have to tell people that the honor of a Muslim is greater than the Kaaba, so no one should be slandered, humiliated, or hurt."
2: Practice
Salam (Greeting): To be the first to greet every Muslim.
Service: To be helpful to your companions (e.g., straightening shoes, giving water).
Humility: To consider yourself the least and others better than yourself.
3: Dua (Supplication)
"O Allah! Remove envy, malice, and hatred from our hearts and make us servants and well-wishers of your servants. Amen."
