A tip to reconcile between peoples conflicting hearts

4 6 CO MME N TS

Here is a Quranic verse that guides us to a tip that we can use immediately to reconcile between those people
who have enmity and hatred toward each other. First, a little background. During the prophets time, Aws and
Khazraj were two warring tribes in Yathrib (now called Medina). Approximately, couple of years before their
acceptance of Islam the two clans were hard core enemies and had enormous levels of enmity and hatred for
each other. During one of the battles (Battle of Buath) both tribes seemed set to annihilate each other.The Aws
were supported by the Jewish tribes of Banu Nadir, Banu Qurayza, and by the Arab Bedouins of the Muzayna
tribe. The Khazraj on the other hand were supported by other local Bedouin tribes. During the battle, the Aws and
their allies initially had to retreat, but then they counterattacked and defeated the Khazraj. During the battle, the
leaders of both forces were killed.

However, after their acceptance and embracing of Islam, both tribes developed feelings of strong love and
brotherhood for each other. This unity developed despite their history and long-standing traditions of mutual
enmity. Sheikh Moududi states in his tafseer that to have such severe enmity turn into deep cordiality and
brotherhood within a quite short span of time and to have such enemies unite together so closely was doubtlessly
beyond the power of any mortal. Were anyone to depend on worldly factors alone, it would have been
impossible to bring about such an achievement. The prophet (s) and his companions witnessed this miracle
of Allah when the hearts of two warring factions came together with mutual feelings of love, brotherhood, and
respect.
Allah says in the Quran:

and joined their hearts. Had you given away all the riches of the earth you could not have joined their
hearts, but it is Allah Who joined their hearts. Indeed He is All-Mighty. All-Wise. Quran (Surah Al-Anfal:
63).
The simple yet powerful lesson we can take from this verse is that in cases when there is a need to reconcile
between the hearts of two Muslims (or parties), we should sincerely pray to Allah, as He alone can guide our
hearts. This tip may seem simplistic but a sincere Dua can bring harmony and love to the hearts of the warring
parties more than any other worldly tactic. Whether its hatred between two friends, brothers, spouses, or any
other family members, a sincere Dua to Allah will surely bring results faster and reconcile between their hearts
more than any other ingenious plans.

You can also use the following Dua that the prophet (s) used to help remove feeling of bitterness from our hearts.

Quite true. It is indeed Allah that puts love between the hearts. Love is a divine blessing, and from what

Im a little confused. Does one have to accept Islam as their religion to have peace with followers of
Islam? Or can just living a God centered life be enough? I ask with complete sincerity.

REP LY

7Hassan

God centred life? the idea is if there is a God -which certainly is- who creates us and every thing
around us, and then he gives us a free will, to choose his way for our success (by submitting to him as
he directed in his own words in Quran) or to do the opposite. In other words, doing any thing else from
his clear instruction to humanity in terms of Islam, is basically giving importance to our own wishes
over his implicit commands, logically it counts indirect rejection of his orders. (Only Allah knows the
best).

Hi Gene, Allow me to humble attempt to present simple values from a muslim perspective. Islam as a
starting point means Peace. Whenever we start to read the Quran, we start by saying In the Name of
God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, and this becomes a habit in anything that we do. Anyone who
submits to will of God, is a muslim. God ask of us to come to common terms with one another. Also,
that there is no compulsion in religion. Safety for the non-muslim living in a muslim country is
guaranteed. When living in a community we also have duties towards our neighbours, regardless of
religion, and i could go on giving advice from the Quran. Living a God centered life for a muslim, is to
lead to a practical life, with duties to our fellow beings, and seeking Nearness to God through our
actions. Life is interdependant. Say hello to a muslim and you will be pleasantly surprised by their
warm hearts. As a start, i invite you to read the Quran.

Also, dear Gene, these Du as must come from the depths of the heart and with a sincere trust and
belief in the Might of Allah Subahanahu wa Taalah alone. If that does not originate from a sincere trust
in Him (alone), it would not be accepted by Allah. And Allah is All-knowing, and All-Hearing. He knows
your deepest secrets hidden in your heart even if you dont submit or believe in Him.
Once you sincerely believe in Allah and put your trust in Him more than in anything else in the world
(even yourself), youve automatically embraced Islam, the path of the Truth, from heart.

Hey Elly,

I dont know if you will see this or when you posted your question, but here is the best I can do. (If any
other Brother or Sister can do it better please post.)

Allahumma Allif Bayna Quloobina (1)

Wa Najjina Min Adhulumati ilan noor (4)
In the word Aslih in line 2 its a hard sounding h by the way. And the dh in some of the words is
sounded by placing your tongue at the bottom of your front teeth.
Hope this helps.

Hi Gene
Accepting Islam is not a precondition to have peace with followers of Islam. Even one does not have to
be God centered for this purpose. To be God centered or not is an individual matter. At individual level
you can see many muslims and non-muslims being good friends. On the international level, you can see
many examples of non muslim and muslim countries friendship even those who do not believe in God
and Muslims. Conflict has to do something with injustice, hegemony and desire to have empires. At
different times, different nations have done that and are doing even now. So instead of looking to
religion for peace, we have to think about justice (which is again preached by religion). As for the
example of the two tribes, simply, when they turned to Islam they had one common leader, the Prophet
(pbuh) who could have resolved their disputes fairly. And of course, religion taught them that they were
now brothers, being enemy to each other would to a minimum lower their faith level to a very low level.
Accepting or rejecting Islam is a serious matter. Why? Because Islam tells about a life hereafter
everlasting. This life will be either hell or heaven. So one has to carefully understand what Islam is
about. If after understanding that appeals to somebody, he/she should accept Islam should not reject
because of society pressures or because of the religion that one got from their forerfathers.

Dear brothers and sisters, aslamalaykom

I have been struggling very hard the last year to save my family from being broken. My husband of 5
years wants to divorce me and Im truly devastated and want nothing but for him to stay. I have written
before but I am still fighting and at this point i want to give up. I pray everyday and make dua everyday,
even when Im not praying but whatever I say or do hasnt changed his mind. Its been a while since hes
been sleeping else where in the house and slowly hes destroyed my heart. Ive been fighting for so long
that Im starting to think whats the point anymore especially since its only one sided. I found out that
hes been cheating on me and he still hasnt stopped even though Ive asked him many times to leave
her. Ive been asking him to start to pray but he wont even do that. I pray for allah to open up his eyes
and inshallah he doesnt make a stupid move that will he will regret. Please I beg anyone that is reading
this to make a dua for my family. I have two small children and to be separated or divorced I feel would
be so hard on everyone especially my children. My husband has said that within this week hes going to
ask for a divorce from the sheik. Inshallah by then allah opens up his eyes.

Thank you for the insightful article. Though I am a Catholic, I have taken a keen interest in Islam; though
my Muslim and Christian friends may not agree with me, I do see parallels between the two. The
significance of reconciliation is the basis of these scriptures in the first place, God is love and so are we.
