He also mentioned that there are things that can destroy togetherness. Among them is the nature of envy, najas (looking for other people’s shortcomings), venting anger at each other, silencing each other, and laughing at the others’ suffering.
“To solve a problem, Allah SWT has given instructions through Prophet Musa AS, namely with grace. With grace, the heart becomes calm and we can think with a cool-headed, so that good communication can be created and problems will be resolved,” he explained. [dts/msh/PR FCS]
