لسلام عليكم
I just want to say something that is bothering my mind right now, so please bear with me :S Whenever, i'm on tumblr or whenever I open my Tumblr 's dashboard, I will never ever fail to see hate messages or messages criticizing a muslim for his actions or whatever you wanna call it. I feel that this is so disgraceful and embarassing. As Muslims, we are not suppose to hate on each other or discriminate them by belittling them. Islam teaches us about peace, not about sending hate messages and stuffs like that. For instance, if a person on Tumblr takes a picture of herself and she is not weraing a hijab, they willl be like "Why are you not wearing hijab? Omg you're haram." and stuffs like that. Well, heck who are you tell that person that he/she is haram, you don't even know them. Who are you to judge them man? If you wanna judge, judge your own self first. Look into the mirror and focus on your own imperfections and flaws. Everyone is imperfect in their own way and instead of zooming in and trying to amplify/magnify their ugly side, you should instead channel positive energy by advising them NICELY and not trying to make them feel so low and 'unholy'.
There's this quote from 'To Kill a Mockingbird': "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." (Harper Lee). I believe that this quote is so powerful and beautiful. Yes, yes yes that you have to empathise that person first before judging and even if you want to judge them, you shouldn't say out whatever evil things that can cause hurt to a person. The criticism can instead worsen the situation and he/she may feel depress. What happens is between them and Allah. Allah is the Most Exalted He is the ONLY ONE that is capable of judging us. Maybe he/she looks 'unholy' outside but Wallahualam maybe his/her inside is way beautiful than ours.
Ultimately, just remember that we are going to meet Him on the day of judgement and be judge. So, what's there to judge other people? Judge youself first before you will be judge by the Almighty, Allah SWT.
