giving the other only when you have surplus


It is always possible to not have the same point of view even though we are in the same jamaah.
As the malay saying goes,

"Rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain."

So there comes syura. And that also teaches us the lowest level of ukhuwwah.

The lowest level of ukhuwwah is,
Giving the other only when you have surplus.
(Imam Al-Ghazali)

People give and take. People share. People say things.
Some may ignore, some may get hurt, others just take it as it is.
And again give the other only when you have surplus.

Beauty of islam.


Dear ukhti asked me what is ukhuwwah. I simply replied,

"Ice cream. Flavourful. But beware that we might get toothache or brain freeze. Even so, it is the sweetness that we often remember.
