<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) A true Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand Muslims are safe. In other words, he does not insult them, curse them, backbite them, nor does he beat or hurt them in any way.<br>
2) Injustice could be done by words or actions, and its perpetrator is in great danger.
