It is essential in our belief to ignore and hide faults and flaws, not to disclose them. It does not suit a Muslim to bring up people's mistakes, to talk about them or even to make them a laughing stock.
Unfortunately, today we can trample on all our values for the sake of populism. Moreover, most of the posts in the social media world are imitations and bad copies.
What value can it be for thousands of people to share the words of an important person from history on an agenda? If you notice, the over-sharing disease has begun to consume the reputation of the word. The right thing to do is to say something about certain subjects, or even those that are your area of expertise, rather than to write or talk about everything. I don't even consider those who try to put words in every post they come across. A Muslim must be consistent and disciplined in all his actions.
It's wrong to offend people on social media that we don't sit and drink tea with and don't see eye to eye. We are people of faith, we should approach even our enemies in a way that befits us.
In our great book, the Qur'an, Allah (SWT) commands Musa (A.S.) to be soft-spoken even towards Pharaoh.
Our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) visits the Jewish boy who is on his deathbed in his neighborhood, and goes to Abu Jahl's tent many times.
Even in the most difficult times, he prays to people, "O Allah, they do not know, forgive them and guide them".
We have to be the personalities who live their lives and set an example with their lives, not the ones who tell the stories of the prophets and the companions of the period we live in. We should be gentle, soft-spoken and much more patient, especially towards our brothers. Of course we all make mistakes. Of course, we all have siblings that we get angry with. We can distance ourselves, maybe we don't meet, we don't call or ask, but we still love them, we have to love them. Because we believe that we cannot go to heaven unless we believe, and we do not believe unless we truly love each other.
A Muslim is not one who does what he pleases, but one who acts in accordance with the orders and prohibitions of our Lord as a requirement of his faith. Finally, it is necessary to know well that; In the world we live in, those who break the hearts of their brothers with such empty deeds cannot really answer. The travelers of the ideal of establishing a new world must have a character suitable for their goals. This is not a choice, it is a necessity.
I shared the above two paragraphs on my social media accounts at different times. I've been saying for a long time. A conscious Muslim should think about what I can do for the sake of Allah at all times and in every environment, what can I do for the salvation of people.
There is no point in putting ourselves in danger by chasing after certain current populist policies. It should be our number one duty to pursue what is good, beautiful, true and just. We must go after what is right and defend what is right, even if it is against ourselves.
Whether we like it or not, we must live in accordance with our Lord's orders and prohibitions. Of course we all have faults, we are all sinners. We have to be much more magnanimous and inclusive, knowing that humans are not angels.
We pray, "O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive us", in the same way we should know and be able to forgive people.
It's up to us to make the world we live in better.
