What are the rights of a neighbor?

A neighbor has many rights over another neighbor. It is mentioned in the noble Hadith that a good neighbor is a sign of good fortune. The rights of a neighbor are: (1) To treat them with kindness, (2) Not to cause them any harm, (3) To send them gifts occasionally, (4) If they give a gift, do not consider it insignificant; rather, accept it with a happy heart, (5) Desire for your neighbor what you desire for yourself, (8) Overlook the minor mistakes and troubles caused by neighbors, etc. (Kitab an-Nawazil/Vol: 15/Pg: 184)

The 50-Rupee Photo

The 50-Rupee Photo

A photographer had put up a board outside his shop, on which the following three lines were written: "For twenty rupees, get a photo taken exactly as you are. For thirty rupees, get a photo taken as you think you are. And, For fifty rupees, get a photo taken as you want to appear before people." At the time of his death, the photographer revealed that people always got the 50-rupee photo taken from him... His purpose in saying this was that (mostly) people spend their entire lives just to show off to others. They practice pretension all their lives and do not live the 20-rupee life. However you are, you are very good... Live the 20-rupee easy and authentic life, and you will stay much happier.
