Allah Most High says,
{O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury.} (Al-Baqarah: 264)
Al- Wahdi commented on this verse by saying, “It is the one who reminds the recipients of his charity.”
Al-Kalbi said, “It is the one who counts his charity as a favor upon Allah and injures the recipients of it.”
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) declared,
Allah Most High says,
{And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as a bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people’s property.} (Al-Baqarah: 188)
Muslims are prohibited to bribe a judge or a public officer to unfairly obtain a decision in favor of one’s self against a rival or to unlawfully consume the property of others while they are aware of the prohibition of this act.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,
الدين النصيحة
“The religion (Islam) is to act with sincerity” or “Religion is advice”
The Arabic word Al-Nasihah is difficult to translate into English.
Allama Ibn Daqeeq al Eid رحمة الله عليه states that “In Arabic there is no similar for the word Al-Nasihah”
Other meanings could be – giving good advice, directing towards good, acting with sincerity or honesty, or being compassionate and desiring good.
The hadith makes clear that one of the core aspects of true faith is to give good counsel, to wish well, and to act towards everything with honesty and sincerity.
