Re: stuff we do for our precious ‘izat’
This could be positive too. But unfortunately we humans turn everything normal into something bad.
If we start looking at ourselves before pointing fingers at others, if we open up to other ideas, understand each others point of view, if we allow each other to have a different opinoin, a different way of life as long as it is still in Islam, as long as we allow each other to make a mistake as normal humans do, it shouldn’t be something negative.
An Aunty once told me, that when you die, the witness of the people you leave behind about your character is important. She said, if there are more people who remember you positively you get more sawaab. that puzzled me, suppose they don’t even know your heart? Suppose they have misunderstandings about your character? How could any human truly judge another human being for 100%?
I think what she meant was that if you are nice to ppl around you, chances are that they will remember you and make dua for you. Its not that they are ultimately making the decision of whether you lead a good life or not but their duas will make a difference in the end
