Two Appetites Are Never Satisfied
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : منهومان لا يشبعان؛ منهوم في علم لا يشبع، ومنهوم في دنيا لا يشبع.
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Two hungry ones are NEVER satisfied, the one who is hungry for knowledge is never satisfied and the one hungry for Dunyā (worldly possessions) is never satisfied.”

ASKING TOO MANY QUESTIONS
One should not ask his friends about affairs that they do not want to reveal and when he sees them, he must not say: "Where are you going?" for it might be that they do not wish to tell. One must keep their secrets even if the ties have been broken and must never revile one's loved ones and family. If someone speaks ill about them, he must not convey that to him.

WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS OF
THE MUSLIMS ON YOU?
Allaah the Most High says:
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ
"The believers are but brothers (to each other)" ¹
So it is obligatory to take them as brothers, meaning:
• That you love for them what you love for your own self;
• That you dislike for them what you dislike for your own self;
• And that you do your very best to help them, correct what is between them, bring their hearts together, and unite them upon the Truth.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
Every Muslim is a brother to another Muslim; he does not oppress him, forsake him, lie to him, or degrade him.²
it is also obligatory to give every one of the Muslims their specific rights, whether they are parents, relatives, neighbors, friends or coworkers.

Hadith: My nation will be afflicted
by the diseases of the former nations.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “My nation will be afflicted by the diseases of the former nations.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, what are the diseases of the former nations?” The Prophet said, “Excessive amusement, ingratitude, disunity, competition for worldly gain, hatred, and greed until there is transgression followed by upheaval.”
