Assalamu alaikum. Be a good neighbor. That's what the Prophet

0:08.3

Salallahu alaihi wa sallam teaches us. And in one duration he says he will not

0:13.5

enter paradise whose neighbor is not protected from his evil or his harm. So if

0:19.3

1:20.6

that you don't harm your neighbors in any way. Be it with noise, be it with
