Our Rabb is sufficient for us

A good person will never disapprove of something good. He will always appreciate someone who is practicing a good act.

There is another category of people who do not practice the Deen that well but shows some appreciation when he sees someone doing good work. His negligence in Deen does not prevent him from appreciating the practices of Deen.

There is a third category who, leave alone practicing the Deen, he actually disapproves of all one’s actions. Neither does he practice nor does he want the next person to practice. For example, a lady sees another lady wearing pardah (a veil). Thus, neither does she practice it nor does she approve what that lady had the ability to do. That's not all! She goes to the extent of criticising that outfit which Allah Ta'ala has commanded women to adopt. We have to be very careful! Such an attitude can extinguish that tiny spark of Imaan that we may still have in our heart. Undoubtedly, no one took this world along with him. We too will have to leave everything behind. And after death, we risk losing our Aakhirah also. There is no one more unfortunate than this. May Allah Ta'ala protect all of us!

Thus, we should not hesitate to initiate a good act when we see that nobody is practicing it. At most, a small group may not approve of it. Why should we leave a good act because of a small group who is not good? At least our Rabb becomes satisfied with us. And this is sufficient for us.
