▪️Giving Them Presents

As it is common observation that sharing gifts enhances affection among each other, so being a Muslim, it is highly advisable to give away some presents to ones close inhabitants so as to promote a culture of harmony and tranquility. Abu Hurairah (R.A) reported that the Messenger (PBUH) of Allah said:

“O Muslim women! No one of you should consider insignificant (a gift) to give to her neighbor even if it is (a gift of) the trotters of a sheep”. [Bukhari and Muslim]

It means that one should not stop from presenting its neighbor with anything it could, no matter how small that object appears to be. It may well be possible the receiver of the gift appreciates its value more than one ever imagined about. As Allah SWT says in Furqan e Hameed:

neighbors
“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it.” [Quran, 99: 7]

So, it is clear that with good intentions, every single deed of the believer counts near the Almighty, and will get its reward eventually. That is why Rasulullah (PBUH) has directed us to share every small good thing with our neighbors. Aishah (R.A) reported: I said:

“O Messenger of Allah (PBUH), I have two neighbors, to which of them should I send a present?” He (PBUH) replied, “To the one whose door is nearer to you”. (Bukhari)

It can also be observed that those who live closer to ones house, have more rights on it than the ones far away.

▪️Being Good To Them In All Respects

Besides sharing food, ensuring security, and giving presents to ones neighbors, as a Muslim, one should keep the most excellent possible conduct with them under all circumstances. Abdullah bin Umar (R.A) reported that the Apostle (PBUH) of Allah said:

“The best of companions with Allah is the one who is best to his companions, and the best of neighbors to Allah is the one who is the best of them to his neighbor”. (Tirmidhi)

So, one should always be at its best in keeping just behavior with its nearby residents including both physical and verbal actions.

Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (R.A) and Aisha (R.A) related the Holy Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) saying as:

“Angel Jibril (peace be upon him) kept exhorting me about (the rights of) the neighbor so much so that I thought that the neighbor might be included as one of the heirs.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Such is the immense importance of dealing with ones neighbors properly that Rasulullah (PBUH) felt if they would even be given the rights in inheritance.

In short, Islam is a complete code of life, and it promotes harmony among people. The best way to endorse accord is to start from ones closest ones, i.e. neighbors, so that this chain of good behavior keeps on building up throughout the world. If everyone cared for its next-door citizens, there would not be any kind of animosity left on the surface of the earth!
