Rights of Muslims upon each other
Many people are very enthusiastic about the noble cause of calling non-Muslims to Islam. Whenever a person accepts Islam in the masjid, everyone rejoices. Everyone is willing to support projects and sponsor literature for dawah. All Muslims are ready to unite for such a cause; however, most of our communities are themselves in need of dawah. Though we are very pleasant and helpful to “Rob” who works with us, we forget to smile at Ibrahim who takes care of the masjid. Our professors find us so pleasant while our parents are victims of our abuse. We also focus much in ibaadah and forget what should follow. Many of our eyes flow with tears behind the imaam but as soon as he says salaam, we turn around and yell at the brother who brought his four years old son to the masjid. This is indeed the paradox that exists or even dominates the Muslims living here in the west.
The mannered aqeedah
I keep hearing stories of the men of aqeedah,
The ones with manners, who even give naseehah,
They are found rarely in this world, scholars of high caliber,
They know so much but are humble, we need to heed this parable
Why do people criticize so much those who have the right belief,
They say “look at those high pants, big beards but a sharp mouth with the teeth”
