AS-SALAMU 'ALAYKUM WA RAHMAHTULLAHI WA BARAKAHTAHU (PEACE BE UPON YOU ALL, AND THE MERCY OF ALLAH AND HIS BLESSINGS)....
We are not perfect by no means, as human beings, but some can be better than others. This is determined by actions such as character, mannerisms & choosing to stay away from those things that cause us and others harm, whether it be on a physical or a spiritual level. But, we as Muslims take this to whole new level, so to speak.
{Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked about the things most likely to bring people into the Garden. He said, 'Fearful awareness of Allah and good character.' He was asked about the things most likely to bring people into the Fire. He said, 'The mouth and the genitals.'" [at-Tirmidhi]}
One of the things that we as Muslims concider pivitol to our outcome in the hearafter, is our character.
My job allows me to slide aside a curtain and look out into a world that disturbs me. I visit Muslim owned businesses on a daily basis, and that number is in the hundreds. I sometimes walk away from a day, with my head held low, wondering how so many who say they are Muslim have abandoned this fundamental belief and stoped caring for their character..... If you are one of these brothers, please ask yourself everytime a customer or vendor walks in; "Did I show him and treat him with good character?" Your destination in the Hearafter is dependant upon it! Heaven or Hell...
God knows, in this day and time, we need to be practicing our religion correctly! Others are looking at us thinking we are the boogy men or terrorist.... and that just is NOT ISLAM!
Thats my thought for now.....
