Reflection

Categorically incorrect

To regard the next person's opinion as categorically incorrect and your opinion as categorically correct, is categorically incorrect.

[English version of "Catégoriquement pas correcte" – Al Jamiat – Vol.1 No. 2]

AND A PRINCIPLE

When the tribe of Quraish had renovated the Ka'bah Shareef, they could not complete it as it was according to the plan of Hazrat Ibrahim (Alaihis Salaam) due to a lack of means. Therefore, part of the Ka'bah had remained incomplete. The part which remained incomplete is called Hateem, which was only fenced, with no building on it. Later on, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) had intended to complete it but he had changed his mind in order not to create confusion in the minds of people.

There is an account to give!

You will have to give an account for everything that you are doing. You are not free. There is someone who is recording everything that you are doing. Do not do anything that will embarrass you tomorrow.

[English version of "Ena compte pou rendé!" – Al Jamiat – Vol.1 No.8]

Acting with people

Why do you act with people in a way that you would not like people to act with you?

[English version of "Agir avec dimoune" – Al Jamiat – Vol.1 No.8]

TO PONDER

One should not do something which should not be done in order to do something which should not be done.

[English version of "A reflechir!" – Al Jamiat – Vol.1 No.9]

Do not put yourself in difficulty

Let’s say if you are guilty and you pay a fine, you may understand and console yourself.  However, if you are innocent, it appears to be very hard. You must think the same for others as they also have a heart. They have feelings. They have an entire family behind them who will suffer when they suffer. They are also humans who have been created from soil. They were not created from rocks. That is why we should not interfere with the innocent ones. You will not reap anything besides misery, misfortune and suffering.

The right to know

I agree that I do not know,

But I do not agree that I am not allowed to know.

If I am allowed to know,

You must respond to me for me to know

Otherwise, you will deprive me of my right to know,

And by Allah, you will know.
