be gentle, be nice

how does it feels when you see someone violated, not only law of nature, but also law of our religion? i'm not specify only on Islam. in fact, all of the religion in the world are based on same principle, since every religion has God to pray to, to worship. the only thing that differentiate us is to whom we perform our pray. but did we ever heard that the harsh way is the best to counsel people? did you ever think that the moment you start screaming at people for their wrongdoing, you are unconsciously humiliating your own faith?

"jahanam punya perempuan. buka lah tudung tu. pakai tudung tapi pakai nail colour!"

ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the common talk we used to spot, especially while surfing the net. indeed, that person did something wrong, but is it practical enough to literally cursing her like that? there are lot of way to preserve our belief, rather than violence. think before you talk.

now, to my Muslim relatives, we are not taught to preserve the purity of Islam using harsh words. Nabi Muhammad S.A.W, himself using the most kindness conduct that he had to make people love and appreciate Islam. yes, we are not Rasulullah S.A.W. not even close, but we are ordered to follow his sunnah right? come on, my dear brother and sister, lets change. do you know why people afraid of Islam? because Islam is the most gracious religion. we are known by our modesty and gentleness. so, instead of cursing and yelling at others, why don't we persuade them to change? we are not that perfect to insult Allah's creation. lets recap back what sort of mean words had we thrown to others for their mistakes. stay in silence and lets muhassabah.

we are human, we make mistakes. we are not perfect, yet we are not ordered to be perfect. we are told to be ourselves in good ways in order to be a better Muslim. InsyaAllah.
