Usually when we respect someone very much we don’t like to talk in front of him/her in a manner that they might consider us a low life/cheap personality.
*A fiance being cautious of his/her image hence careful in selection of words and thoughts when talking to his/her spouse to be…
A child ignoring indecent stuff and changing the bad channel/topic when his parents arrive…
Same goes for a teacher, boss, a dear friend…etc.
*But howcome people like me online decieve themselves that their identity is unknown and no one (they respect) is watching/reading when they start/comment on/contribute to a discussions that involves indirect mentioning of private parts of men and women/ sexual behaviour…etc. in an immoral way.
**
Is my Lord not aware of what dirt is going through my mind when I indirectly contribute an immoral ‘concept’ or ‘angle’ that HE dislikes, in a discussion ?!
**May Allah (swt) forgive my ignoring him when I think or say anything bad, and guide me towards the ways of the pious people. Ameen
Re: Is it possible to ignore the presence of the beloved I love and respect..?!
i agree, we do - interesting observation, RAW i would like you to further comment on examples of such kind of online discussion
one way to look at it is if parents find out you will see an immediate reaction from them while the eventual accountability will be at the end - very few people realize and thus they dont see a reason to worry about out in the short run
any topics here at GS that i have issues with the OP will never open for discussion even with friends let alone parents for example - they have the ability to hide behind they nicknames and say whatever they want and get away with it - same applies to myself but i personally try to minimize my contribution with the topics i pointed out ,, the rule of tumb imho should be - if you cannot say or do something infront of your parents do not do it anywhere else,
Re: Is it possible to ignore the presence of the beloved I love and respect..?!
This is the problem , that people worry about what other people will think but forget that Allah is always watching. If we keep that in mind, we can never go wrong.
We're consistently justifying our mistakes, blaming others. He made me, she made me or then the oldest one in the book, I am human! It's human nature...
I guess, it also comes down to our relationship with our creator. If Allah really is our beloved then human nature is no justification. As they say; *khana khna insane fitrat hai roza rakhna mohabbat... *
The point, doing something wrong once is not the problem justifying it not accepting you're wrong and then not working to improve it is. The world would be a different place today if people started accepting their mistakes, working to improve themselves and never forgot that Allah is watching.
We are morally responsible for everything we say and do and we are accountable for our deeds, this is something we should never forget.
Just as it's not possible to ignore the presence of our beloved person, similarly if we truly love Allah it is not possible to ignore his presence and hence go astray . There is no excuse, no justification of what's wrong.
I think, we should all prove to be the people we claim to be.
