Are you a good neighbor?
If you are not giving your neighbors their due rights, then you are missing an important part of your duties as a Muslim.
A neighbor is someone who lives in the same neighborhood as you; he could be a friend, but does not necessarily have to be one. The definition of a neighbor can have various meanings; for example, it can refer to someone who lives directly beside you, as the Prophet 
, said: "One must not prevent his neighbor from placing his wood against his wall." [Al-Bukhaari].
However, it can also refer to someone living further away, since the Prophet , said: "No obligatory Salaah (prayer) is accepted from a neighbor of the Masjid (mosque) except if it is offered in the Masjid."
Scholars differ over who is considered a neighbor. Some scholars are of the opinion that a neighbor is one who shares the same Masjid or social meeting place, while some are of the opinion that whoever prays Fajr in the same congregation is considered your neighbor.
Others say that whoever lives in the same area or district is your neighbor, and yet others are of the opinion that neighbors are determined by tradition, whoever is traditionally considered to be your neighbor is one.
The rights that your neighbors have over you depends on whether they are immediate or distant, whether they are related or not, and also whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims.
A. Immediate neighbors to whom one is related and who are Muslims, have three sets of rights:
1. The rights of a neighbor.
2. The rights of relationship.
3. The rights afforded to them as fellow Muslims.
B. Immediate neighbors who are Muslims have two sets or rights:
1. The rights of a neighbor.
2. The rights of a fellow Muslim.
C. Finally, immediate neighbors to whom one is related and who are not Muslims, have two sets of rights:
1. The rights of a neighbor.
2. The rights of relationship.
It is also important to note here that an immediate neighbor takes preference over a distant neighbor, and a distant neighbor takes preference over people who are not neighbors.
The Prophet , encouraged people to be kind to their neighbors and to honor them. The Prophet , said: "Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day should honor his neighbors." [Al-Bukhaari]; and in a similar Hadeeth, he , said: "… should be kind to his neighbors." [Muslim].
The Prophet , took a neighbor's comments as a reflection of that person's character -- be they good or bad. He also took the words of praise as a sign that the people were good in all their actions, and words of criticism that they were bad in all their actions. Basically, how you treat your neighbor reflects directly on your own personal character and how you deal with everyone in business and personal relations.
The Rights of your Neighbor
1. People must not behave on their property in such a way that it has an adverse effect on their neighbor; such as building windows which overlook a neighbor's property, or digging a well next to their neighbor's well so that it deprives their neighbor's well of water. The proof for this is the words of the Prophet : "No harm and no compulsion". [At-Tirmithi].
This ruling is from the Maaliki school of jurisprudence and was supported by Ibn Taymiyyah 
who said: "It is forbidden to build a stable for housing animals next to or adjoining your neighbor's house, because of the animals' urine and feces, and their continuous movements, during the day and night, would prevent people from sleeping. Likewise, you should not build a mill or bellows (for a blacksmith) or anything like that.”
Present day examples would include machines and equipment that emit disturbing noises. If people do anything on their property that is disturbing or harmful to their neighbors, then they must remove the cause of the disturbance.
2. It is permissible for people to build a house on their own property, even up against their neighbor's wall -- but only if they have no other choice and only if their neighbor is not harmed by it in any way. Even in such cases, they should still ask their neighbor's permission beforehand.
If they are denied permission, their neighbor may be legally compelled to grant them permission by the proper authorities. The proof for this is in a Hadeeth related by Abu Hurayrah 
who said that the Prophet , said: "You must not prevent your neighbor from putting his wood on your wall." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim].
3. If the flow of water becomes blocked on a farm, perhaps due to wastefulness and subsequently bursts out, causing damage to neighboring farms, the neighbors may come up with proposals to channel or dam the water and irrigate the farm. If the wasteful farmer refuses to comply with them, the ruling is the same as in the following case of a damaged wall.
4. If a wall between two properties is damaged, the owners of one property can ask the owners of the other to participate in rebuilding it. If they refuse, they can be compelled to do so. Likewise, they can be compelled to help demolish the wall if it is expected to collapse.
5. The owners of the highest buildings in an area must construct screens to prevent themselves from overlooking their neighbor's properties. Likewise, whoever wishes to utilize their roof should make sure that they cannot see into their neighbor's properties and erect a screen for this purpose if necessary.
6. Whoever owns some property, but cannot reach it without causing damage to a neighbor's property is forbidden to cause the damage. Instead, the authorities should endeavor to arrange matters in a way that prevents harm to either party.
Thus, even though our neighbors may be Muslim or non-Muslims -- each are equally entitled to their rights according to our religion. Sometimes we may find it hard to reach out to our non-Muslim neighbors, but it is an obligation upon us, and it can also be one of the best forms of Da’wah (call to Islam) we can give.

shooooooooooooooo u realsome. who is talking to u
[img_assist|nid=60386|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
Woah who's Insulting Ghandi??? That guy was a noble man I respect him.
It's always the small things that make big differences.
azi... i am more than willing to do that. but remember i am no (deleted W) way close to Mahatma Gandhi and/or (may i say) Buddha.
if i am called by some cheap name, i have to respond.
plz do tell these guys to stop referring me with some cheap names and i am far far far away from them.
[img_assist|nid=60386|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
I am sure you are insulting Mahatma Gandhi now by saying you are way close to him with your upside down behaviour.
I think indians and other people who respect mahatma gandhi should throw you stones, mahatma gandhi was not an idiot he was a hero, you are an idiot that doesnt have respect for other faiths...Gandhi did respected other people.
dont ever mention again Gandhi. Or you are spoiling his legacy.

SKDKAK...I don't usually do this, but I'll say it anyway: Please go to another thread and leave this be.
Let's do keep our cool this time, shall we?

Eco.. let me clear something here
1. i dont have time in life to chk the profiles of people like u
2. irrespective of what u write and what u write is a copy paste job...u HAVE to display the source. Thatz because whatever u have copied is the original work of someone else and u are stealing it
3. If u are a female then it is all the more bad in the manner u write.

I said I am sorry to luvtodrive about hijacking the thread and still eco called me dumb. so nice of him calling me like that. make him equally level with me. dumb and dumber. LOL..

Eco-savvy: If QL guidelines doesnt say anything abt which source one has copied the comments, then QL guidelines need to be updated.
FYI: I am a no one but to show the source of ur comments is a basic ethics of internet and if u are not aware of it. u better be now.
I am out of here for now untill another abusive language is used for me.
[img_assist|nid=60386|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

What frustrates me about this guy is he wont stop until you tell him to do so , why is any adult person in QL expect other people to tell him to stop until he realises himself.
He maybe mentally sick or may have childish behaviour, what is he trying to earn is points and I dont think Qatari is going to award him for any thing.
Oh God qatar's high rents is mentally destroyed an already small minded guy.
