[And tell My slaves to say that which is best. Indeed, Shayṭān induces dissention among them. Indeed, Shayṭān is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy] Isrā`:53
With all the differences in this Ummah, let us not forget that our real enemy is Shayṭān, not each other.
Once people start practicing Islām, i.e. really become Muslim, it gets harder for Shayṭān to seduce them into disobeying Allah. And so as an easier alternative, Shayṭān creates disunity and discord between them. Oh so effortlessly.
Thus, for us, the best course of action to avoid falling into his trap is to follow Allah’s command: “Say that which is best”.
The word in the āyah for ‘Best’ is ‘Aḥsan’ (احسن), the root word of aḥsan is ḥasan – which translates to: Beautiful, Better, to Amend.
Say that which is Aḥsan.
