The virtue of reconciling people 🤝

Reconciling people is one of the highest moral values. 👍

In the Quran Allah says 📜:
“لَا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ نَجْوَاهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا”

“There is no good in many of their secret conferences. But (good lies only in the secret deliberations of) those who enjoin charity, equitable dealings or making peace between people. And whoso does that, seeking the pleasure of Allâh, We shall soon bestow a great reward on him.”
(Quran 4: 114)

Reconciling people is a branch of faith and an Islamic moral code through which grudges are removed and the hearts of Muslims are purified. 😕

Every Muslim man or woman should try to reconcile the enemies, since he knows that it is better. 👨‍👦

Islam urges Muslims to consider the reconciliation of people as one of their most important goals in this life, since it is through reconciliation that the Muslim community becomes a coherent unit, where one party seeks to correct the other. 👨‍🏫

This is why Islam regards reconciling people as better than many acts of worship. Reconciling people is a great act of worship that Allah Almighty loves. 🤲

The one who seeks to reconcile people is the one who offers his effort, money, authority and power to reconcile the parties in dispute. He is a person whose soul loves goodness and longs for it. He does not care about people’s opinions or criticisms as long as he is seeking to please Allah Almighty. He exposes himself to embarrassing situations and shares the concerns of his Muslim brothers in order to reconcile two people. 👏

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The best charity is to reconcile people.”
