Sadullah Khan – Parables and Wisdom from the Quran (Activism or Critism) Night 7

Who may sit down and just be critical of what they observe?

I wish to focus here on the on the armchair critic, because in

today's ever connected and easily accessible social media world

where anybody can be in touch with everybody.

And almost everyone seems to be a critic.

If you spend any time on the blogosphere, you will soon find a

multitude of critics, critics, well skilled, it seems, in turning

the smallest non issue into the biggest issue of the day. Not only

that,

since social media is a global phenomenon, these critics can

convey their criticism to the whole wide world, on the World

Wide Web at the press of a button. And in the moment,

you know, there's a very humorous incident, about Moulin Rouge Dean

was going with his grandson to the market to sell a donkey. And as

they were going to the market, he put his grandson on the donkey,

and he was walking next to the grandson and the donkey. And

people sit tight, and I'll walk. So the old man got molesting on

the donkey and erode. And the child walked. And people said,

look at today's world, the young man is sitting down in the the

nobody will criticize us. They both jump on the donkey. And as

we're writing people's and look at Mala lessons is a big chef like

him. He's overriding the donkey. He's overloading it, there's no

run. And he gives lectures about things about mercy and look at

this. So that we're near the marketplace, rather give down both

of us in walk, seeing all the other. You see, it's easy to be a

critic. It's far more challenging to be an activist, because

activists are builders, critics. I mean, negative critics, by the

way, are like demolishes. You see it takes builders decades, to

build something. To build a city takes decades, for example, to

destroy your city, you can do it in one day, one bomb blast, one

building leathers destroying the day, you can't build in a day, but

you can destroy in a day, the F accept criticism, or that we are

against critics, not at all. There are those who provide constructive

criticism, which is highly appreciated.

Those who ensure that they provide advice without causing resentment,

providing advice without cutting, causing any hurt. A lot of those

were made merely saying something because they want to find fault,

but rather to provide some form of correction so that they may be an

improvement. Those are people who really care about you. However, in

rectifying an increasingly advisors, ly

ill and cannot be consolidated that don't rectify something, or

remove something bad in your mind. When you make an correction, make

sure you have three, three things in mind. One refeeds can be my

profit can be mine. I couldn't be mad. I couldn't be my argument be

my argument makes sure that when used, often the criticism that it

is kind

make sure that you offer criticism that is just in fair, warranted

and make sure that when you give criticism that you are

knowledgeable, you don't do it from a point of ignorance.

The moral of all of this for us, a person who provides positive

criticism realizes the day in being critical, there is an

acknowledgement that human beings do the ease the error that human

beings do commit and therefore, we acknowledge the limitation of

human beings. At the same time, we acknowledge the fact that as we

rectify others, we are also open to correction, because we do do

also. How can we ensure that we ourselves inculcate a culture of

positive criticism? wise ones have advised very beautifully, they

couldn't fake and Marsha Bob Kundra, Haman Mokuba is in common

with artifact.

At the enough sick, he said, resolve condition yourself to be

tender with those who are young, be compassionate with those who

are old, be sympathetic with those who are struggling, be

understanding of those who make mistakes, and be tolerant of those

who may be weak because somewhere in your life at some time, you

will be or you would have been one of these are all of these three

points for our reflection. One.

The activists who are involved

We are not equal to those who sit in the armchair and criticize

Allah in the verse we have referred to distinctly prefers the

strivers who make effort above those critics who sit and do

nothing. Point number two, if we are critical about something,

ensure that our criticism is valid, that it is conveyed in a

civil manner and that we're not criticizing merely to be critical.

And thirdly, in correcting others, the aim is not to appear. The aim

is not to appear better than other people.

Rather,

the aim is to facilitate a little bit maybe an improvement in

whatever advice you'd give him a call call Jada was stuck with
