Messenger of Allah (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa
sallam) said about virtue and sin,
البِرُّ
: حُسنُ الخُلقِ ، والإثمُ : مَا حاك في صدرِك ، وكَرِهْتَ أن يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ
النَّاسُ
"Virtue (and Piety) is noble behavior (and
good manner) , and sin is that which creates doubt and you do not like people
to know about it.''
[Saheeh Muslim, Hadith # 2553 (8/7) from the
narration of Nawwas bin Sam`an (May Allah be pleased with him)].
An important principle enshrined in this Hadith
says that courtesy is a virtue, because a refined mind cultivates good habits,
performs good deeds, and shuns all that is bad and corrupt.
Islam lays much importance on courteous behaviour
and also explains and stresses its different aspects.
To meet people cheerfully, to avoid causing trouble
to them, rather to try to make things convenient and comfortable to them, to do
social service, to extend co-operation to others in good things and to be
generous, and to like for others also that you like for yourself, are all forms
of moral behaviour that are counted as virtues in Islam.
Also, a simple and understandable principle is laid
down about sin. Man feels the pricking of conscience over every bad deed and is
also afraid of the reproach of fault-finders, provided he has not reached the
lowest point of moral depravity.
But a seared conscience is least disturbed even by
a heinous and deadly sin or by public censure.
We can understand it by the example of man's
smelling sense. If it is not dead, man can feel a stink and repugnant odour.
But a long association with a dung heap robs away one's smelling sense and
feeling of refuse.
All that is bad and vicious is considered by Islam
as sinful. This Hadith describes two signs of a sin. First, man should feel
scruples in committing it.
Second, one does not like others being informed
about it. The Hadith further tells us that human nature leads man to correct
conclusions and keeps him away from evils, provided it has not been deformed by
the environment and bad company
