Why hate people?
By Abdullah Ibn Adam
Here is something important for us that I came across in the Qur'an.
Firstly, lets think about this:
Why do we HATE people, because of their actions/belief?
Why not just hate evil actions/ideas, and try to remove evil from each
other?
Now, lets look at this:
A patient, who has illness,
What would be our reaction towards diseased people?
Will we hate them because they have diseases?
Basically,
It is very easy to say words (blame/criticize);
It is very hard to bear, and promote good work.
Al-Qur'an [Fussilat - 041 v 33-35]
Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works
righteousness and says "I am of those who bow in Islam"?
Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better:
then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy
friend and intimate!
And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise
patience and self-restraint none but persons of the greatest good
fortune.
The Qur'an certainly guides those who want guidance & then work for it.
It EVEN guides to those who do not know Arabic language (but have
translation), like myself. However studying Qur'an in Arabic will be
even better.
Allah Knows Best |
