Allah’s Apostle (pbuh) said, “Whoever has
oppressed another person concerning his reputation or anything else, he should
beg him to forgive him before the Day of Resurrection when there will be no
money (to compensate for wrong deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good
deeds will be taken from him according to his oppression which he has done, and
if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on
him.”Volume 3, Book 43, Number 629: Sahih Bukhari.
In order to
discourage envy, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said:
“Do
not look to those above you. Look to those below you, as it will more likely
remind you of Allah’s favors bestowed on you.” [Saheeh
al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]
On another occasion, he (sallallahu alaihi
wa-sallam) said: “If one of you looks at someone
wealthier and better built than him, he should also look at someone of lower
standard than himself.” [Saheeh Muslim]
Abu Hurayrah (razi Allahu anhu) narrated
that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said:
“By
Allah, in Whose Hand is my soul, you will never enter Paradise until you
believe. And you will not believe unless you love one another. May I tell you
something that if you do, you may love one another? Spread Salaam amongst
yourselves.”
Ibn Abdul-Barr (may Allah be pleased with
him) said:“This proves that Salaam can lift
hatred and produce love.” [Saheeh Muslim]
A noteworthy hadith:
“It is better to
sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is better still to sit with the
good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain
silent; but silence is better than idle words.” (Bukhari)
Column
A column is a
recurring piece or article in a newspaper, magazine or other
publication, where a writer expresses his/her own opinion in few columns allotted to
him/her by the newspaper organisation. Columns are written
by columnists. What differentiates a column from other forms of journalism is that is a
regular feature in a publication – written by the same writer or reporter
and usually on the same subject area or theme each time – and that it
typically, but not universally, contains the author's opinion or point of view.
Types
Some
types of newspaper columns are:
·
Critic's reviews
·
Editorial opinion
·
Exchange column
·
Fashion column
·
Features column
·

An
editorial is a piece of writing usually written by the editor or senior staff
at a magazine/newspaper/regular newsletter. It usually encompasses the beliefs
of the paper/magazine as a whole.
A column is a piece written on
the same subject but by a person who specifically writes only that column,
think of the Agony Aunt pages in some papers, or the showbiz section.
An article is a separate piece
usually followed up and written by a reporter, journalist or guest author. It's
usually about something specific which is not covered on a regular basis, or to
do with what's happening in the general news world.
Robert Welain, M F A Law, New York University (2010)
To
begin with, one has to understand what editorial stands
for. It is a newspaper article that tends to contain and explain author’s
ideas. This piece of writing can be on any topic, but, as statistics show, most
often it deals with social issues. Just like in your research paper, you have
to provide enough credible evidence to support your opinion.
Detailed research has to be conducted ahead
to discover a particular point of view an author wishes to argue. An editorial
must contain not only problems but possible solutions to them. For instance,
when writing about the issue associated with obese population, the writer
should end up giving specific recommendations on how to deal with this problem.
Moreover, his message may be turned to both those who suffer from this disorder
and healthcare professionals who have to handle it. Often, the authors speak to
the local governments hoping to motivate them to act. As you can see, preparing
an editorial has a lot in common with writing an essay or research paper. So,
in case you were good at writing in your school, college, or university papers,
it would make no problem for you to come up with any writing piece, including
an interesting editorial.

An
editorial is an expression of the position of the newspaper's editors or
editorial board or publisher on an issue. It's generally written by an editor
or member of the editorial board. The tradition has been to frame the editorial
using first person plural, we. Editorials are not generally signed
although there have been some exceptions over the years.
A column is written by a
columnist, editor or other select individual on a topic of their choosing. It
is the expression of one person's opinion or viewpoint and is generally written
using first person singular or third person singular. Columns are signed by the
author.
An article is nonfictional writing within a
publication. Articles can be further divided into news writing, feature
writing, sports writing, and opinion writing. Editorials and columns fall under
the heading of opinion writing. News and feature articles are generally
presented as objective forms. Sports writing is supposed to be objective, but
it isn't completely without bias, thus the separate category. Articles can be
further divided into the various sections of the newspaper: business,
lifestyle, transportation, housing, etc. Articles may or may not be signed
depending on the policy of the publication and are generally written in third
person.

a writer regularly on a particular subject for a newspaper or a magazine. A

An article is a piece of writing about a particular
subject in a newspaper or magazine. It may be on female foeticide, child labour

An article is any write-up which can
be contributed by any writer in a newspaper. Columns are articles written by
some people who have an expertise in a particular field like economics, social
science, politics etc. Editorial on the other hand is an article that reflects
the newspaper's opinion on a particular event or a happening.

An editorial is the
"official" position of the newspaper. The editorial board meets and
discusses an issue important to the community and then decides what stance the
paper will take on it (i.e. endorsing candidates, supporting or opposing
legislation, etc.). One person on the board is drafted to write the editorial,
and the editorial is published unsigned (with no byline).
A column is the voice of one person, not the newspaper. A column may take an opinion on something, or speak generally about experiences or issues. A column is always run with a byline and usually a photo of the writer.
Article is usually on a well-defined topic or topics that are related in some way, such as a factual account of a newsworthy event. The writer is objective and shows all sides to an issue. The sources for this news story are identified and are reliable.

An editorial appears on the
editorial page, and represents the newspaper's position on a certain
subject. Example: The Daily Gazette endorses John Smith for mayor,
instead of Jane Doe. Or: The Daily Gazette believes that Congress should
pass a law that prohibits [whatever]. An editorial is generally written
by a newspaper's editorial board. It is not signed.
A column is a personal opinion piece. It usually appears on the same page, in the same spot, on the same days of the week. It always has the columnist's name, and usually includes the columnist's picture. Unlike a news story, a columnist is free to give an opinion. A person who is a columnist usually has many years of experience covering the issues, or has a lot of expertise in them. They use their knowledge of the subject, and their contacts in the community, to write about a topic, and they often come to a conclusion. The reader is free to agree or disagree. There are also humor columnists, advice columnists, etc.

An

of national and international importance. They discuss both the sides of an
issue and express a conclusion. There are other write ups on the editorial
page; editorial proper, a middle which can be a humourously critical about
personalities or life in general, invited articles from people whose opinions
are valued by readers (so called influential persons, like novelists, writes,
civil servants past and present etc.)

understanding born of general observation as a lay person
An editorial, leading
article or leader is an opinion piece written by the senior editorial staff or
publisher of a newspaper, magazine, or any other written document. Editorials
may be supposed to reflect the opinion of the periodical. Article is a piece of
writing included with others in a newspaper, magazine, or other publication.

An editorial is a news paper
or magazine article usually composed or written by the editor and reflects
current issues. It can be on any subject but by the editor. Column is just a
vertical division in a newspaper or magazine where the content of guest writers
(free lance) or employed writers of that newspaper is published. Like a column
on cricket in sports section by Dhoni. An article is any piece of writing about
any subject. Like an article on poverty, tax etc. It's like a report or
information.

While the other answers have correctly
define what column and article are, I have something more to add in terms of
Editorial.
Editorial is a comprehensive summary of a particular topic and what "should" (not could, it is an opinion) be the future course of action.
