[18]. In Islam, you are no longer foreigners or strangers, but fellow citizens among God’s people — the Muslims — who follow His final Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. You are no longer regarded as outsiders or aliens, but as equal members of the believing community, sharing the same rights, blessings, and responsibilities.
Islam removes all barriers of nationality, ethnicity, and social status. The mosque stands as a symbol of this unity — a place where all believers, including immigrants, belong and are valued. Just as Allāh has welcomed believers into His House, Muslims are called to welcome others into their hearts and communities, treating them not as outsiders, but as brothers and sisters in faith.
Loving immigrants means recognizing their equal dignity and rights. It calls upon believers to build communities where newcomers feel valued and embraced — communities that reflect the unity, mercy, and love that come from being part of God’s people. This love transcends cultural and national boundaries, embodying the inclusive spirit of the Qur’an and the prophetic example.
19]. Wastefulness (isrāf) means spending wealth in disobedience to Allāh — on sinful, harmful, or vain purposes — or using resources in ways that are inappropriate and excessive. True moderation in Islam means spending wisely, with gratitude and purpose, avoiding extravagance or misuse of the blessings Allāh has entrusted to us.
