In The Name Of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.
Remember with humility and humbleness
If Allah has given you the opportunity to get close to Him
Don't think that others are not close to Him
I will tell you why.
How many good deeds are they?
There are thousands of good deeds, do you agree?
How many sunnah deeds are there?
Hundreds of thousands, do you agree?
So, if you are engaged with 20 good deeds
Someone else might be engaged with 40 good deeds
But totally different from the ones you are engaged in.
So when you look at them
And you see what you are doing is not there
You start thinking this person is not religious.
But hang on,
They have engaged in other deeds
Perhaps much more than you in quality and quantity
And you don't even know.
So, stop judging.
Never judge a book by its cover
If Allah made it easy for you to cover yourself with niqab
Say Alhamdulillah, thank Allah.
But, don't look at someone
Who is not there on that level and think
These people are not even on the deen.
If you had grown your beard, Alhamdulillah
Never look at someone without it and think
These people are not there.
Perhaps they respect their parents
and you don't.
Perhaps they do not backbite
and you do.
Subhanallah, perhaps they get up for tahajjud
and you don't.
So, good deeds are plenty
They are not confined to what you alone are doing
Remember that.
May Allah open our doors
May He grants us respect of one another
May He make us give up the backbiting, slander, gossip and all other evil.
Respect and honour of the Prophet (S.A.W)
Is only through following what he has said
He does not want anything else
He wants us to follow his example
To follow his way
To follow his commands
To make sure that whatever we do
We get it form His instruction
And cut out whatever would displease Allah
Because we need to focus.
Wallahu'alam.
SubahanAllah,, May Allah bless you who write this post.
Thank you!
