• It is obligatory to respect the Muslim's honor and life.
• The grave outcome of one who reviles a Muslim unjustly, for such a person is Fāsiq (defiant sinner).
• Reviling and fighting a Muslim weakens and diminishes faith.
• Some acts are called "Kufr" although they do not reach the major Kufr that results in apostasy.
• "Kufr" here refers to minor Kufr that does not result in apostasy according to the unanimous agreement of Ahl-us-Sunnah, since Allah Almighty has established the brotherhood of faith for the believers in case of fighting and disputing, as He says: {If two groups of the believers fight one another, make peace between them} until: {The believers are but brothers.}
