💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some people are so sad on the inside and emotionally disturbed with tons of negative thoughts that they're experts at focusing on people's bad qualities, while forgetting the fact that they too have imperfections of their own. If someone shares on their social media account how they're progressing with their fitness program, jealous haters and insecure strangers instantly assume that user is trying to prove they're better than them. What if they're trying to motivate others to do the same, to opt for positive vibes and healthier choices?
If a user posts some of their writings, notes and reminders, depressed lurkers who have nothing to do with them immediately speculate "such a know-it-all, acting as if they're more intelligent and more educated than us. I can be intellectual too." What if their motive is to inspire and encourage other Muslims to uplift one another through whatever means that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala gave them?
Sarcastic remarks, awful eye-rolls, and unjust assumptions made against other Muslims simply prove they're unhappy, so miserable that they feel the need to put others down in order to feel better about their unconfident selves.
Confident people who are grateful for the blessings that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala chose to give don't assign themselves to make up false guesses about other Muslims, particularly if they lack tangible evidence to support their ridiculous negativity.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not seek out faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other, do not envy each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers."

📖 Al-Bayhaqi reported: Ja’far Ibn Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If you hear something from your brother that you reject, make an excuse for him up to seventy excuses. If you cannot do it, then say: 'Perhaps he has an excuse I do not know.'”
