Question:
Salaam Awliyahs, Moulanas, Shaykhs, Ulama’s,
Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad.
1. I am having the difficulty to forgive others, look up on them, and praise them on their good deeds.
2. And I freely point out others’ flaws and faults.
3. Often, I ignore other’s presence due to my intolerance.
4. I am only able to respect and be compassionate to a few people.
5. Moulanas and Shayks have always remind us to love others and lower our ego.
May I ask how do I overcome 1-4 and achieve 5?
Forgive me for my lack of adab.
May Allah bless all. Please pray for me to be in Allah’s Divine Presence.
Answer:
Wa`alaykumussalam
Do the opposites to every point 1-4, i.e. learn to forgive, admit to
yourself your own flaws instead of others’, be tolerant of others, and
respect every person that comes your way. Then you will easily
accomplish 5.
