Pearls of Islam Reminder Series

Allah - The Best JudgeBy Sina Iqbal

We see many people around us, of all walksof life and at various points within our lives. Itis easy for us to be engulfed in the dailyactivities of our lives, or see others do thesame. Whilst many of us may see the biggerpicture, there are others who struggle and itcan become easy to judge, but let usremember to leave that to Allah (SWT), as heknows best.

Then it will be for Us to call them toaccount[Quran 88:26]

I came across this beautiful analogy the otherday:

Consider a long stretching river - "The Riverof Truth. People are swimming at variouspoints along this river. Lets assume thatabsolute truth lay at the very end of the river-point 100. Based on this, we would assumethat the person swimming alongside point 95is closer to the Truth - and therefore betterthan the person swimming alongside point 5.

However, what if the closer person had startedout at 100, and had actually drifted away fromthe truth by 5, whereas the further person hadactually started at 0 and was now 5 closer tothe Truth? While it would be impossible for us

to know this, it is not impossible for God, forHe would certainly know this about bothpersons, He would know that the person on 5was striving hard for Truth's sake.

We all have slips, just as others do - justmake sure you dont place yourself in theposition of watching someone as they slip andbase your opinion of them on that, rather tryand catch them if you can.

Inshallah we all continue to strive hard toplease Allah (SWT) and carry on doing so atall points of our lives.
