I Don't Judge Others Because I Know I'm Not Better Than Them


Just because someone made one mistake doesn’t mean he or she is worse than us. It is true that we have to correct things that aren’t right but preferably in the most polite way. Try putting yourself in other’s shoes, how would you like people to remind you that you made something wrong. By the most humiliating kind of mocking that’ll make your face turn as red as blood or by a few beautiful, kind pair of words.

The main thing is that we want that person to know that he or she did something wrong. Giving them a whole package of embarrassment just doesn’t seem right. Agreed, that person will finally know what he or she did wrong but arguably the final outcome would be for the benefit of both parties. Either the friendship or any kind of relationship, allies or foes, will be severely damaged or even worse they’ll continue doing the same bad habit now that everyone in this world knows no thanks to our intolerant actions.

Reminding others is without question a very noble act but that doesn’t give us the right to search with full arrogance the wrongdoing of others. If He, whom in His hands my soul lays, can hide His slaves’ bad acts, who are we to promote to the whole world our brother’s or sister’s sins. Every sin of our brothers or sisters done in secret without the knowledge of others should be corrected in secret in order to protect their dignity.

Whoever in his heart has the slightest of feeling that he is better than someone else clearly should ask for forgiveness from The Most Forgiving. No one on this earth could know whether his good deeds are accepted or not. So, how on earth can someone claim that someone who made a mistake is worse than him? We remind people about their mistakes so that we ourselves won’t do the same thing not to show them that we understand about the purpose of life better than them.

If we intend to tell the whole world about other’s wrongdoing because of the fact that they don’t share the same views with us or because they once did something we didn’t like i.e. for revenge, then from the very beginning we were intending on doing something worse rather than good. Doing any good deed for the intention other than to please Him is like shining a pair of shoes with your own cheeks. Without doubt the shoes may be bright and shiny but despite that, no person in a normal state of mind would do something like that. Why should we accept anything less than Jannah as a reward for our good deeds?
