Respect Culture in Islam

Islam teaches us to respect everyone, not only the Muslims, but all human being.
We may never been exactly the same.
There was differences of opinion among the
Sahaba (RadiAllah Taala Anhum).
They loved each other.
We are taught not to say one bad
word about any one of the companions. (La tabu Ashabi for ladi NFSI biadihila anfaka ahadukum mitlahudin Dahaba mahabalah nasifahu). Don't ever speak ill about anyone of my companions, says Muhammad (PBUH). Because (Walahi), if you had to spend the Mount Uhad full of gold in the Cause of Allah, it will not come anywhere near even a handful or half a handful that they spent in the Cause of Allah. What is he teaching us? Respect.... Respect your elders, respect others. You are not the only person on earth. Your system of thinking is not the only one on earth.Subhanallah. Respect each other, so much so that Allah (Subhanahu Taallah) speaks about the Jews and the Christians and the others who did not fight you. And Allah (Subhanahu Taallah) in sura Mumtahina quickly meaning very clearly makes mention of something interesting. He says, (Arabic verse) Allah does not stop you from being just and kind. Allah encourages you, Allah instructs you to be just and to be kind to those who did not fight you. They have not removed you from your homes. They belong to different religions. (Subhanallah). They belong to different religions, but if they did not fight you and they did not remove you from your homes and they did not assist others to fight you, be just with them, be kind. You have your faith, I have mine. If that is the instruction when it comes to the non muslims, my brothers and sisters, what about in the Muslim Umma? Surely they should be mutual respect. We cannot allow the wentin fighting and killing for no reason just because we differ in one or two points. And differences have been there from the very beginning. So let us understand this and let us learn to respect each other. When you differ, when you want to express your opinions, do so very respectfully. There is no need to insult others. There is no need to fight and kill others. Not at all. This is, where we are failing, my brothers and sisters. May Allah (Subhanahu Taala) strengthen us.
