Islam is a religion of peace

411

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr and Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The true Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the Muhājir (emigrant) is the one who abandons what Allah has forbidden." Abu Mūsa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he said: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the best among Muslims?" He said: "The one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe."

Explanation:

The Muslim is the one from whose tongue the Muslims are safe, so he does not insult, curse, or backbite them, nor does he seek to sow any type of evil or corruption among them. Also, they are safe from his hand, so he does not assault them, take their property without right, or do anything of that nature. The Muhājir, i.e. the real emigrant, is the one who gives up what Allah, the Almighty, has forbidden.
