In Islam, hurting other people is highly discouraged and it is also considered as major sin. Because it conflicts against the basic pillars of brotherhood, compassion, and love for each other which are essential to the Islamic faith, harming fellow Muslims is regarded as a moral crime in Islam.

Muslims are asked in Islam to live with unity and brotherhood. Muslims should hold that all people are created equal in Allah's eyes and that they should therefore treat one another with respect. Islam has discouraged the violence. If the other person is wrong in any way then we should try to correct him/her in a kind way, because staying silent against the wrong would lead to injustice and sins.

As our beloved Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) has said:

"Indeed when people see an oppressor but do not prevent him from (doing evil), it is likely that Allah will punish them all [Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]”.

Islam teaches us to be empathic

Islam teaches that we must show empathy and compassion since all people have inherent worth and dignity. This involves refraining from bodily injury and abstaining from actions that might impair one's emotions or psychological well-being.

“That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life, unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land, it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity. Although, Our messengers already came to them with clear proofs, many of them still transgressed afterwards through the land” [5: 32] .

The above verse has emphasized the sanctity of human life and the importance of protecting it.

What Islam says about spoiling Relationships?

In Islam, it is likewise forbidden to ruin relationships. Islam places a strong emphasis on upholding positive relationships with everyone, whether they are close friends, family, neighbours, or strangers.

According to Islamic teaching, having positive relationships with other people is not only morally required, but also a way to receive rewards from Allah. Allah says in Quran, in Surah An-Nisa:

“Worship Allah ˹alone˺ and associate none with Him. And be kind to parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, near and distant neighbours, close friends, ˹needy˺ travellers, and those ˹bondspeople˺ in your possession. Surely Allah does not like whoever is arrogant, boastful” [4: 36] .

As a result, it's crucial for Muslims to refrain from actions that could damage their interpersonal relationships, including lying, backstabbing, gossiping, or other types of verbal or emotional abuse. Muslims are urged to strive for maintaining harmony in relationships with everyone around them and to be kind, empathetic, and forgiving.

What Islam says about maintaining relationships with wives?

Islam places great emphasis on treating wives with kindness, love, and respect. Our Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) has stated while explaining the treatment with wives:

"The best among you are those who are best to their wives, and I am the best to my wives [Tirmidhi]”.

According to Islamic teachings, marriage is a sacred union among a husband and wife that is founded on love, compassion, and respect for one another. Quran says:

“And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect” [30: 21]

In light of the above verse, it is the husband's duty to treat his wife with the same decency and consideration that Allah has shown him.

Islam contains a number of particular precepts about how to treat wives, including:

• Kindness and love

  The Quran instructs husbands to,

  "live with [their wives] in kindness" [Quran 4:19] and to treat them with respect and dignity.

• Communication

  The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) emphasized the significance of communicating with one's wife and seeking her opinions and perspectives on matters that affect the family.

• Providing for the family

  The husband is in charge of meeting the requirements of his family, which includes giving them food, clothing, and a place to live.

• Physical and emotional wellness

  The husband is responsible for making sure his wife is secure, healthy, and receiving emotional support.

• Faithfulness and sincerity

  The husband needs to be devoted to his wife and abstain from anything that can damage their marital bond.

Islam holds that both the husband and wife have obligations to one another, and that marriage is a relationship based on love, respect, and compassion.

Moreover, Islam has instructed Muslims to hold relationships and to maintain relationships with intellect and empathy. Muslims must be aware of Islamic teachings which guide Muslims to move towards the right path.
