Advising Sincerely –
Before the Battle of Badr commenced, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, observed one of the non-Muslim leaders, Utbah Ibn Rabee’ah, amongst the non-Muslim army. He then commented that if anyone amongst the non-Muslim army had goodness in them it was him and if the army obeyed him they would act rightly. Meanwhile, Utbah urged the non-Muslims to return home and not engage in battle. He reminded them that many of the Muslims were their relatives and if they were killed then the non-muslims may win the battle but when they return home, they would have enmity for each other, as they killed each other’s relatives. Abu Jahl desired the destruction of Islam at all costs and therefore accused of him being a coward only to urge him and others to fight. This has been discussed in Imam Muhammad As Sallaabee’s, The Noble Life of the Prophet (PBUH), Volume 1, Page 962.
Though Utbah was a non-Muslim, none the less he showed some sincerity to his fellow people while on the other hand, Abu Jahl showed insincerity to everyone by advising them to fight and kill their own relatives, all for the sake of worldly gain, such as authority and wealth.
Sincerity to others involves aiding them for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, according to one’s means, such as physical, emotional and financial aid. A positive sign of a good intention is that one should not desire gratitude or compensation from people. They must instead aid others for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, and hope for reward from Him. The one who acts for any other reason will not gain reward from Allah, the Exalted. This has been warned in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 3154. One must bear in mind that when they are aiding others, they will receive the constant support of Allah, the Exalted. This has been indicated in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6853. The one who receives the constant aid of Allah, the Exalted, will be inspired to use the blessings they have been granted correctly as outlined in Islamic teachings so that they obtain right guidance through every situation. This ultimately leads to peace of mind and blessings in both worlds. Being sincere to others also involves fulfilling the rights of people according to the teachings of Islam. It is important to note, one cannot fulfil the rights of people according to their own definitions as this will only cause them to wrong others. Therefore, one must learn and act on Islamic teachings so that they correctly fulfil the rights of others, such as their relatives. Being sincere to others is easily achieved when one treats others in a way they themself desire to be treated by other people. This is in fact the very definition of a true believer. This has been confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 13.
