<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The Hadiths encourage extending Nasihah to all Muslims, relative or non-relative, young or old, male or female.<br>
2) Wishing for fellow Muslims what one wishes for himself is an aspect of Nasihah to Muslims.<br>
3) A person’s faith is not complete until he likes for his fellow Muslims what he likes for himself.<br>
<br>
<b>Benefit:</b><br>
The negation of faith in the aforementioned Hadith: “None of you is a believer...” means negating complete faith, not the origin of it. In fact, faith has an origin and branches, and it increases and decreases. A guided believer is the one who seeks to maintain and increase his faith. {Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky, yielding its fruit all the times, by the permission of its Lord} [Surat Ibrāhim: 24-25]
