" 4 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa established the rights which a believer owes to other Muslims. He said, "A believer has duties towards other Muslim, he should go and enquire about his health when he falls ill, participate in the funeral prayer when he dies, respond to his call, greet him on seeing him, bless him when he sneezes and seek his welfare in his absence. " 5 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa started his mission of the establishment of peace from individuals and then from their homes. Individually a contact with another person lays the foundations of friendship and the rights of neighbourhood are established by one household by interacting with the other. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa discharged both these duties in an excellent manner whenever the occasion arose. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa 's friendship was mostly with poor and weak people. He said, "Search for me amongst the poor people and remember that you receive your sustenance due to poor hard working labourers and are helped due to them. " 6 Quite often the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa would pray, "O All a h, keep me alive in humble state, cause me to die in this state and on the Day of Resurrection raise me from the class of the poor people.
