Take action when necessary to protect ourselves and our communities from harm; strive for peace and justice; hold accountable those using violence.

This hadith, narrated by Ibn Az-Zubair, speaks about the permissibility of shedding the blood of someone who unsheathes their sword and starts to strike people with it. This hadith teaches us that violence is not tolerated in Islam and that those who use violence should be held accountable for their actions. The Prophet Muhammad [SAW] was clear in his message that such behavior will not be accepted or tolerated in society. He also taught us that we should strive for peace and justice, even if it means taking action against those who are using violence against others. We must remember that Allah has given us a responsibility to protect ourselves and our communities from harm, so we must take action when necessary.
