Who are WE To Judge!

Who are WE To Judge!

BismiAllahi Al-Rahman Al-Raheem " In The Name of Allah The Most Merciful The Specially Merciful:

We always make judgment on people while we are talking , walking and working. It's a very bad habit to judge someone, or to put miserable future for them. I am writing this article and I believe this is VERY common in our MUSLIM society. I remember when i was in high school and university. I used to think, this man smoking drugs he is bad , this guy does not smoke n he does not do anything bad he is good. This woman does not wear hijab then she is not good, this wear hijab this good.  Here is the worst part, He or she will go to hell fire!!! Let's stop and think very well who are We to judge and send people to hell fire OR to send other people to paradise???  

Is this is our job as humans? As servants of Allah? We are no different than them. Do you like people to say behind your back or look at you and say this person will go to hell fire, for whatever reason in their mind?

The Prophet Muhammed, Peace and Blessings be upon him, said :On the authority of Abdullah bin Masud, who said : the messenger of Allah, and he is the truthful, the believed narrated to us :  p "Verily the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother's belly for forty days in the form of seed, then he is a clot of blood for a like period, then a morsel of flesh for a like period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows the breath of life into him and who is commanded about four matters: to write down his means of livelihood, his life span, his actions, and whether happy or unhappy. By Allah, other than Whom there is no god, verily one of you behaves like the people of Paradise until there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Hell-fire and thus he enters it; and one of you behaves like the people of Hell-fire until there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Paradise and thus he enters it."

How can we judge people when we don't know the unseen? How we judge others when we don’t even know our own destination and our own destiny.

Once an American young man dreamed that Jesus, peace be upon him, commanded, " Follow Muhammad".   The young man went to an Islamic center, asking what the dream meant. After his dream was explained, he accepted Islam, and died three days later while he was praying. Who can believe this brother was non Muslim, and in three days will die while he is praying?  An old man in his mid 70s went to the Mosque and asked some young men, “How do I make Wudu(Ablution)? I have never prayed in my life. Some of them made fun of him, but others taught him how to make Wudu and how to pray. He died while he was praying! Allahu Akbar! (God is the Greatest!)  Who could believe this man who was known for not praying would die in the Mosque while praying? 

Yes we can say he or she is doing bad things inside ourselves but on the other hand, make Duaa for them that Allah will guide them as he guided us, make Duaa that Allah will not return you back misguided again, say " this is how we used to be, Allah guided us".  Rememeber, Allah The Almighty said in the Quran:  Sahih International: [Who say], "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower. ( 3:8 ) 

We need to stop making judgments on people and ask Allah always to guide us and them. Even if you never have been misguided, Allah didn't bless everyone with guidance from the beginning of their lives.  So some do not have Muslim families for support and guidance and good examples as you always have.

May Allah guide us and the misguided Muslims and non-Muslims Ameen!
