Negative Focus

Question:

Astaghfiroullah, dastour ya saydi madad, salamou’alaykoum,
bismillahirahmanirahim,

When I see, when I hear or when I observe a person or an object, the first things that catch my eyes and on which I focus unintentionally are the faults, imperfections. How to get rid of this bad habit. Barakallahou fikoum wa Salam

Answer:

wa ‘alaykum salam,

The Prophet (s) said: al-mumin mirrat akheeh, “The believer is mirror of his brother.”

So you are seeing yourself in various mirrors you come across. This is the guides’ way to show you your faults, in others. This is very beneficial because it shows you your mistakes quickly.
