What type of mirror are you?
It is sad how we can so easly judge others just because we heard something that maybe is not even truth. Who are we to judge, who are we to talk about someone and think that we know the best!? Who gives us the right to do so? Our tounge can be our worst enemy, so choose your words wisely!
We want Allah to have mercy upon us and forgive us, but we have such a hard time forgiving eachother. Why is that so? You would like to be forgiven when you sin and fail Allah, so why wouldn't you wish the same for your brother!? We all make mistakes, and instead of judging one another, we should be helping and forgiving! We should strive to help eachother to be better muslims, we should be mirrors to one another!
The Prophet, sal Allahu Alayhi wa salam , said: "A believer is a mirror to another believer" (narrated by Abu Huraira—transmitted in Abu Dawud). When he sees a fault in it he should correct it.
"A mirror doesn't show you that you are worse than you actually are NOR better than you actually are. The mirror will show you what is good. It won't hit you or beat you. It won't force you to change rather leave the choice to you."
What type of mirror are you to your brother and sister?
