From a very young age and we have been exposed and taught numerous lessons that will stick with us for the rest of our lives. One of the most important and pivotal lessons that we have ever been taught is respect. As with everything else, Islam has its own view regarding respect. So what is respect in Islam?
Islam states that it is the responsibility of each individual to treat all of creation with respect, honour and dignity. The most deserving of respect is the Creator Himself. Respect begins with loving and obeying the commandments of Allah and from this respect flow all the manners and high standards of morality that are inherent in Islam.
In the Holy Quran Allah states “And whosoever obeys God and His Messenger, fears God, and keeps his duty (to Him), such are the successful ones.”
Respect can be towards Allah as well as towards others. As we previously said and mentioned in the verse, respect towards Allah means fully obeying his teachings. Each individual is required to learn to obey the Creator and treat humankind, our environment, and others with respect. Islam teaches us that we are held accountable not only for our thoughts and actions but for the influence, we have over others and the creation. Islam asks us to enjoin the good and forbid the evil. Islam binds respect to peace, love and compassion, all attributes of the One God, therefore to fulfil our obligation to honour and obey God one must respect the honour, reputation and privacy of others. Respect involves staying completely away from the major sins of backbiting, lying, slander, and gossip.
Being respectful means staying away obtaining from any behaviour or action that would in any way cause harm or destruction. It means loving for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves. The Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) has said "None of you will believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself."
Respect involves treating others the way we expect to be treated and the way we hope God will treat us –with compassion, love and mercy. It is without a doubt that our sins build a barrier between humanity and God’s Mercy and cause all the torment, misery and evil in this world and the hereafter. God commands us to stay away from sin and to strive against our own destructive character flaws. He also singles out suspicion, backbiting and gossip as bringing about nothing but shame and disgrace.
In the Holy Quran Allah says “O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God. Verily, God is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.”
