My brothers and sisters, it brings a lot
of comfort. When you do good, do it
in the most beautiful way.
Don't worry what the naysayers are saying. When
you're doing good, keep doing good. Don't let
the negatives of others make your positive disappear.
Don't let the negatives of others make you
a negative person.
Don't allow their comments to make you stop
the good that you believe in.
Don't allow their actions to deter you from
continuing
the goodness that you stand for. This is
what we're being taught in this particular verse.
What amazing advice from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
What beautiful lessons we derive. What comfort we
achieve. There is a crisis indeed. People will
become jealous of you. They were jealous of
those better than you.
People will want to hurt you, accuse you.
It's fine. It's okay. That's what they were
cut for. Perhaps
we were not cut for that. We need
to continue doing the good in the face
of bad. We need to continue
proving what we stand for in the face
of challenges
and InshaAllah, if we pray for those who
are negative, perhaps a day will come when
they too will change their ways. They will
realize
we try with them and continue trying with
them. May Allah
grant us that comfort.
