Live as brothers, transact as strangers

ta3aasharoo ka-al-ikhwaan
ta3aamaloo ka-al-ajaanib

"Live as brothers of each other (and treat each other like brothers with love),

but when you transact with each other do it as between strangers (let your dealings be transparent and explicit leaving no doubt whatsoever)."


Great teaching of the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) which would avoid so many disputes arising, cutting them off before they can take root!

Make things clear and well- defined/explained. Write it down! Leave nothing doubtful and unsaid, that it may become a cause of disunity/disharmony in future.

Good elaboration in 'Solutions to Domestic Conflicts', extracts from 'Discourses on Islamic Way of Life', collection of speeches by Justice Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani.
