Trusting Fellow Muslims


One of nature of humans is that they find it very hard to trust others. They can establish friendships with individuals of same ideologies, tastes, personalities and fell respect for each other. But when a situation demands them to show trust in their friends they just step away. They feel that they can not trust anyone including their parents, children, spouses and friends. They can only trust themselves. This is all because of curious nature of humans that they suspect each other. Spouses, friends, siblings say that they are very close and trust each other but in reality they always suspect and try to find secrets of each other.
But all this is totally different in Islam and Muslims. It is not difficult for Muslims to trust each other. The teachings of Quran and Muhammad (SAW), and fear of Allah Almighty enable us to trust fellow Muslims. They know for fact that they are answerable for every good and bad deed to Allah Almighty. True Muslims never lie, steal, betray or harm others. They know the value of respect, friendship, loyalty and love for one another. They do not any thing they could not do. As Allah Almighty says in Quran,
                Your friend is only Allah and His Messenger and those who have faith: those who establish prayers (salat) and pay alms (zakat), and bow. As for those who make Allah their friend, and His Messenger and those who have faith: it is the party of Allah who are victorious!” (5:55.56)
There is no difficulty in trusting fellow Muslims if we follow true spirit of Islam and Quran. Muslims know they would be answerable for all their deeds, god or bad. So they do not betray or harm another.
