▪️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!
