Seriously, we live in times where things are so confusing for people that just to practice the basics of Islam is a huge blessing. You look at just how many people don’t know anything about their Deen and worse, don’t even care about it either. If you see someone establishing the prayer, you should give that person props and keep them going, not start fault-finding.
And if you see someone taking it further and striving to practice upon the detailed way of the Sunnah, reviving it, teaching it, and inspiring others to follow it with knowledge and wisdom, well that’s just superb mA. It really is!
Al-Marrūdhi (r) asked Imām Aḥmed b. Ḥanbal (r):
“If one dies upon Islam and the way of the Sunnah, has he died upon something good?”
Imām Aḥmed (r) replied:
“Behave! Whoever dies upon Islam and the way of the Sunnah has died on all the good that there is!”
(as narrated by al-Lālikā’ī, 1/131)

Aww really? Then what about the fun of gossiping? 🙂 La hawla wala quwwat illah biAllah.
😀 it is true though. we find faults more with people who pray than with those who don’t.
What about those who keep dropping around that worst of all words,”extremist” whenever you try to follow the true way? :@
You tune them out. Or start an intellectual debate if the situation allows…
Tuning out is tough with the nearest ones. It’s a stab in the gut. But yeah, one tries to.
If he’s ready to listen, then sure- roll away!
Dunno if it applies here. But I’ve made it clear that I loathe the word. Blekh.
What word? :p
:p
