Islamic Principle of Social Harmony

One who creates problems for his neighbours is not a true Muslim. One who creates problems automatically excludes himself from Islam. This is indeed a great teaching. If you live in a family, society or country, wherever you be, it is God's obligation upon you to not create problems for others. You must live as a no-problem person. If in a society, people consider this principle as part of their religion, then that society will be marked by social harmony, and nothing else.  There will be peace and harmony everywhere.

The Prophet of Islam said: الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ النَّاسُ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ (Musnad Ahmad 7086) A true believer is one by whose hands and tongue people are safe. This is the Islamic principle: Live in society in such way that no one experiences harm due to your actions or words. This will create harmony in society. A hadith says: وَاللَّهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ، وَاللَّهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ، وَاللَّهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي لَا يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ (Sahih al-Bukhari 6016) By God, he is not a believer whose neighbour is not safe from his evil. 
What does this mean? One who creates problems for his neighbours is not a true Muslim. One who creates problems automatically excludes himself from Islam. This is indeed a great teaching. If you live in a family, society or country, wherever you be, it is God's obligation upon you to not create problems for others. You must live as a no-problem person. If in a society, people consider this principle as part of their religion, then that society will be marked by social harmony, and nothing else.  There will be peace and harmony everywhere.
