A spiritual Ishmaelite

Workplace ostracism is common in south asian organizations and universities.

طبراني : أنّ العبّاس رضي اللّه عنه أتى النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)فقال  :  يا  رسول اللّه انّي انتهيت الى قوم يتحدّثون فلمّا رأوني سكتوا و ما ذاك إلاّ  أنّهم يبغضونا ، فقال (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) : أو قد فعلوها ! و الذي نفسي بيده لا يؤمن أحدٌ حتّى يُحبّكم لحبّي ، أيرجون أن يدخلوا الجنة بشفاعتي و لا يرجوها بنو  عبد المطلب

Tabarani narrates that the uncle of the Prophet(s) complained to him that people are talking to each other and I arrive, they fall silent. I am sure this is due to hatred. The Prophet(s) said: Really? No one becomes a believers unless they love you. Do they hope to enter Paradise through my intercession.

There are two types of ostracism.

1. Purposeful ostracism is a form of abuse.
2. Nonpurposeful ostracism is due to neglect.

Quran condemns both abuse and neglect in relationships and society at large.
