Good guys are passed of as weak, tame, inconfident, and otherwise useless.

"Bad Boys" are treated like royalty; they get everything they desire just because of the "bad boy" image.

I've noticed this within life too bro, but i'll tell you something surprising - this has been the same since the time of Aadam (peace be upon him.)

Just go back in history and you'll see how the one who is evil - is respected more due to people having fear of him and because he is the most arrogant. Think of Pharoah, abu jahl, abu lahab, even go all the way back to think of Habil and Kabil (the sons of Aadam) and the one who killed the other was the one who wanted the more good looking girl.


I was thinking about it once, and there are two types of respects in this world & both come from Allaah Almighty, but there conclusions are different:


The first type of respect is

People gain respect in the dunya (world) by doing the most evil of deeds, you can imagine this in the mafia - and how the 'godfather' is the one who has the most killings + more respect etc. But Allaah Almighty keeps raising this persons respect and power to see if this person will abuse that power, and the majority of the world feel that this is the only way.. but the worser the person - the deeper they may end up in hellfire.



The other type of respect is the good respect, and this is mainly given to the prophets and messengers of Allaah Almighty. It is given through their good deeds, and Allaah Almighty gives the person power and authority i.e. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Abu Bakr, 'Umar, Uthman, Ali (may Allaah Almighty be pleased with them) etc. This respect that they gain from Allaah Almighty - they use it to enjoin more good and to gain more reward from Allaah azawajal.

This is the respect we should be striving for insha'Allaah, so we can gain more reward for the hereafter insha'Allaah (God willing.)


The majority of the world has fallen into the trap of the evil form of respect, but the more evil they do with that - the deeper they may end up in hellfire.

Whereas the other form of respect helps a muslim to gain more reward, by enjoining more good and using that respect to influence people to do more better to please Allaah Almighty. This is what we aim for insha'Allaahu ta'aala.


Allaah Almighty knows best.
