"What is this guy? What is that person? Look at that hijab, half the hair is sticking out." When we start looking at people like this, we look down at them. You know what could happen? Allah can guide them.

And Allah can let us go down the wrong path. And we die in a state of disbelief. And they die and they go to the highest levels of paradise.

Never Feel Arrogant

Never ever feel arrogant. Never ever look down at another believer. Because what you are upon is from Allah.

And you never know — they could die on a better stage, in a better place than you and I. Remind yourself and myself: when we see somebody far from Allah, and we think we are closer to Allah, remember — they can die in a state, in a situation better than you and me. And we can die regretting. That one moment of arrogance can lead us to Jahannam.

Never Belittle Another Believer

Never ever belittle another believer. As the Prophet said:

بِحَسْبِ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يَحْقِرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ

It is enough evil for a man to belittle his Muslim brother. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

Never look down, never think little of somebody else. Because the roles could be swapped one day, and you could end up in the wrong way, on the wrong path.
