Avoid Harm

The Prophet of Islam said that in Islam there should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm. (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 2865) This tradition of the Prophet of Islam explains an important collective principle. This principle applies to both men and women, to individuals and the community, to national life, and international life.

In the present age, every human being has to live in different situations, both favorable and unfavorable. There is a comprehensive rule for how men and women should live in such situations. First, every individual should be harmless to others, and second, he should live so carefully that no one else gets a chance to harm him.
