Many people will fall into this trap of assuming bad of others. How can a girl ever agree to ride with her guy friend, how can a man dare to enter a mosque and leave without joining in on prayer and how can young boy not have respect and answer back the greeting.

A scholar once said: “If I see my brother and his beard is dripping alcohol, I would say it was perhaps spilled on him. And if I find him standing on a mountain and saying: “I am your Lord the Most High”, I would say that perhaps he is reading a verse from the Quran”.

My dear brothers & sisters, many times we hasten to judge others not realizing that we may be only seeing a part of the whole picture. We must learn to realize for every situation, there may be more to the story and for every decision, there may be a legitimate reason. Let’s try thinking positive of others so we don’t fall into being from those who are unjust and falsely assume.
