🌹 Precisely what is so good or "cool" about eating and drinking with one's left hand? Don't you use your left hand for washing yourself in the bathroom? How do some ignorant people assume it's okay to utilize that same left hand for eating and drinking? Even if a person is left-handed, if they're Muslim and strive to value and honor Allah's Laws and do their best to respect and abide by the beautiful Sunnah of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, they'd be ready and willing to carry out as many good deeds as they can for Allah's sake including maintaining proper Islamic manners even while eating and drinking.
Some moments ago I kindly advised this individual (not a young child nor teenager) to eat with their right hand while they were walking around eating with their left hand in front of me. They gave me eye contact after I reiterated to them to eat with their right hand as Muslims should and they temporarily used their right hand for eating only to be seen eating with their left hand again while standing just some minutes after I advised them to use their right hand. Such ugly manners showed me that:
1. This person probably never went to any Madrasah in the past or present and/or they were never educated by their parents regarding basic Islamic etiquettes. Even if they did attend a few Islamic gatherings or classes, there's a probability they weren't intelligent enough to understand most of the lessons being taught to them. Low IQ? Or high ugly ego?
Alhamdulillah I don't have their predicament of having irresponsible parents who could care less about training their child/kids to display good Muslim manners as much as possible wherever they are. Show me ugly manners and instantly I'll guess that your parents were similarly uneducated morally and never truly loved you enough to teach you a single thing about the importance of adhering to the Sunnah of our beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam.
2. Due to their oversensitivity or ugly ego, they likely felt small or inferior when somebody was advising them to change their habit or action. The more lousy pride/kibr some individuals have and the more irrationally infatuated they are with their ugly selves, the more likely they'd reject or ignore advice, reminders and constructive feedback from anyone whom they possibly envy or feel awfully intimidated by. I can imagine them reassuring themselves with "Why is this human being giving me instructions on what to do and what not to do? I'll just do the opposite of what they're commanding me to do because only I can choose how to conduct myself." And they chose to appear stupid, proving to me they're yet another unreliable character in my list of people to be wary of (to never trust) due to their lack of morals or adab.
3. Stay extremely careful of those who don't take Allah's Laws and the Sunnah of His noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam seriously. Like seriously. If they are unwise and idiotic enough to stubbornly go against what Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam love, then we better believe that these incompetent jokers can never be trusted with anything minor. They're not concerned about following the Sunnah of the noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam? Don't be surprised if these clowns with obnoxiously low self-esteem are caught stealing, breaking promises, frequently lying, slacking deliberately or gossiping about us to pacify their painful feelings of extreme envy (understandably jealous that our manners are way better than theirs Alhamdulillah).
And as for those who were sitting nearby not reminding that individual to eat with their right hand, but they cowardly remained silent due to severe social anxiety or they're guilty of ignorance related to the significance of eating and drinking with one's right hand to be different from our enemy shaytan, never trust them likewise - act cordial with them just because we don't want to imitate insecure bullies, while unapologetically perceiving them as untrustworthy since the beginning and remain contented Alhamdulillah we don't have their negative qualities and insecurities.
