1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Sharia guarantees a Muslim security for his life, property, and honor, and forbids aggression against them, or injustice, or abandonment, or desertion for more than three days. It also obligates his brethren to certain rights, including: thinking well of him and finding excuses for him, visiting him if he falls ill, saying "Yarhamuk Allah" (May Allah have mercy on you) when he sneezes, accepting his invitation, following his funeral procession, offering him sincere advice, returning his greetings, and fostering love among members of society.
