We do sometimes find ourselves bragging about others fault & overlook who we are in others mind. Allah gave us the luxury to live the life we chose to live for & with that comes hardships & benefits which we always take for granted just because we felt we are right & that is what we called EGO. What we eat is what we are. There is always less fortunate out there who wish they had what we have but for some being less fortunate is a bless in disguise if an understanding pops up in their mind along with the knowledge they had.
Consuming with ego of being over the top makes a person vulnerable to accept hardships & for them the only way to get rid of it is just by forgetting about it or killed the root to make it go away. But keep in mind you may forget about it but in the future it may haunts you back because that is your weakness & Allah is the most righteous in testing you with these hardships over and over again until you overcome them with a smile. The Buddhists called it 'karma' but for Islam, it just a way of Allah to test us until we fully understand it so that it may create a feel of gratefulness in our heart. You maybe beautiful, rich or even clever with great job but they came with greater responsibilities & baggage for you to understand why you get it & not for you to brag about it with a feeling of being better than others or even worst treat others like a swarming flies. Treat others the way you would like others to treat you.
Modesty or shame is a lifestyle Islam taught its Believer to have because balance makes our life easier & whenever hardships come along we can definitely deal them with ease as in Chinese philosophy; there are Ying & Yang.
“Among the things that people have found from the words of the previous prophets was: ‘If you feel no shame(modesty), then do as you wish.’”
[Al-Bukhari]
Do not feel sorry for the people in Palestine, Syria & Egypt for their hardships but feel sorry to ourselves because Allah loves them more by giving them greater hardships resulting in growth of belief than we had as living in a luxury makes us forget who we should ask for help most. What we as Muslim can do is by helping them to win so that we also will share why & what is important being a Muslim directly from them as they are the chosen one to help us understand. Here are some emergency calls for us to used and to be remembered by Allah, cheerio!
