There was a man that wrote a letter
to Imam Malik
and in that letter he criticized the Imam.
He said, you wear nice clothes,
you teach a lot of knowledge but you
don't focus on like being aloof from the
dunya
and staying away from the dunya. So the
imam he wrote back a letter
to him and he said that Allah
has divided
deeds amongst people like rain.
Some places get a lot of rain, some
places get different types of rain, whatever.
So our actions are like that. I do
this, you do that.
But all of us aren't good. That's the
kind of attitude that we need to have
when we see Muslims doing things that are
different than us or amplifying certain parts of
Islam that are different than a part of
Islam that we amplify. We should understand it's
like rain
and everywhere it goes, it's gonna bring benefit
inshallah.
