IN THIS LIFE, mankind suffers various types and forms of hardships, that which will cause sorrow and depression, especially when such hardships and trials befall and touch peoples bodies, property, offspring or religion. When such difficulties befall a certain Muslim, his Muslim brethren are obliged to rush to his aid and to defuse this hardship, so that his pain will subside, as much as can be. Furthermore, a Muslim may fall victim to injustice, as Al-Mutanabbi (a famous Arab poet) has said, Injustice is a human trait. Hence, if you can find an honorable person, there is a hope he will not commit injustice. In this case, the Muslim brethren are obliged to remove this injustice that has befallen their brother (or sister) in Islam, as much as they can. The Messenger of Allah said: Aid your (Muslim) brother when he is unjust, or when suffering from injustice. He was asked, What about when he is unjust, how can I aid him? He said, You prevent or forbid him from committing injustice, for this constitutes giving aid to him. [Saheeh al-Bukharee]
