I never thought much about it until recently when I started studying the life of the prophet (saws) and his companions. The more I read about the personalities of such people, the more shameful I feel about myself.
Nothing to be ashamed about.
I suppose people are better off with you then you are with them..
...are they not?
The end.
Because you know you could write a book on it.
Sorry.. not really clear that..
Basically it's a time for God fearing people.
If you are ashamed then let it be of what goes through your thoughts and heart..
Of the habits you keep in public and private.
In the end, most people are unaware of the harm they can cause to each other through words and actions..
And the only thing protecting you from what they are is the religion of Allah swt.
And Allah swt is not in the least bit unjust.
..so what do people follow?
