الأشياء الجميلة بداخلنا
وليست فِي الأحداث
فعندما نمتلك عينًا جميلة
سنرى كل شيء جميل
وعندما نمتلك نفسًا راضيه
سنرضى ولو بالقليل.

When we possess good eyes, we will see every thing is beautiful
Also when we have satisfied soul, we will satisfy if the thing is a bit little

Morning of beauty
A girl willingly jumps into a car after the male driver who sees her walking in the streets tells her to get in.
A man walks into a mosque while everyone is praying to wash his hands and leaves it without joining the prayer.
A teenage boy is greeted by a passerby but doesn’t return the Salam.
- 1st scenario: the driver was the girl’s brother
- 2nd scenario: the man had already prayed in a mosque
nearby which finished earlier
- 3rd scenario: the teenage boy is deaf
Many people will fall into this trap of assuming bad of others. How can a girl ever agree to ride with her guy friend, how can a man dare to enter a mosque and leave without joining in on prayer and how can young boy not have respect and answer back the greeting.
A scholar once said: “ If I see my brother and his beard is dripping alcohol, I would say it was perhaps spilled on him. And if I find him standing on a mountain and saying: “ I am your Lord the Most High”, I would say that perhaps he is reading a verse from the Quran”.
Ibn Al Qayium said: By Allah, it is difficult for a person to know his own intentions for his deeds, so how can he possibly know with certainty the intentions of others?
** Many times we hasten to judge others not realizing that we may be only seeing a part of the whole picture. We must learn to realize for every situation, there may be more to the story and for every decision, there may be a legitimate reason. Let’s try thinking positive of others so we don’t fall into being from those who are unjust and falsely assume.
In Whatever Situation, Give The Benefit Of Doubt
