His Mercy Outweighs His Wrath
By Sheikh Muhammad Ali Al-Hanooti
People
are always so quick to judge each other. They label others in a
very unjust and unfair, stereotyping way. That is not the guidance
of Islam, but the misguidance of the non-Muslims. A good Muslim is
the one who acts like a doctor when they pass by any person who
looks sick or unhealthy. The doctor usually appreciates the good
things that person has and starts thinking about how he can help
that sick or unhealthy person. His success is how he can cure the
person of disease.
Why do we criticize people because of what wrong they have or they
do when we don’t extend our hands or approach these people with
good advice and honest struggle to help them to get back on track
to righteousness and good commitment to faith?
We are people of da’wah, but not judges or police officers. We
are the most compassionate when we see the worst of a Muslim. That
is what others need.
