- loot at these teaching that Imam Gazali passed on to us..."When u've this whisper within u that I'M SUPERIOR TO MY BROTHER, I'M SENIOR TO MY SISTER, I'M GREATER THAN OTHERS, THEN THAT'S THE WHISPER OF THE DEVIL HIMSELF"
& then he gave us some practical steps to deflate our ego...
1. When u see a child, a kid, ur ego would whisper to u that I'M BETTER THAN HIM. U should say to ur ego... THIS IS A CHILD. HE IS PURE. SINLESS. HE HASN'T COMMITTED A CRIME. SURELY HE IS BETTER IN THE SIGHT OF ALLAH THAN I'M.
2. When u see an adult & someone more senior to u in age, then u say to ursef... NOT THAT HE IS SINNING BEFORE ME SO HE IS MORE WICKED THAN I'M. u say to urself... THIS MAN OR THIS WOMAN IS MY SENIOR SO HE OR SHE HAS BEEN WORSHIPING ALLAH WAY BEFORE ME. UNDOUBTEDLY HE IS BETTER IN THE EYES OF ALLAH THAN I'M.
3. When u see an ignorant person doing something wrong, u say to urself... HE OR SHE HAS DONE BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE. THEY DON'T KNOW BETTER. BUT MYSELF, ALLAH HAS GIVEN ME THE UNDERSTANDING. I CAN DIFFERENTIATE. YET I COMMIT THE WRONG. SURELY MY CONDITION IS MUCH MORE EVIL IN THE EYES OF ALLAH THAN THIS PERSON.
4. When u see a scholar & learned person, u say to urself... THIS PERSON IS MUCH MORE LEARNED THAN I'M. HE OR SHE POSSESSES MUCH MORE KNOWLEDGE THAN I'VE. HOW CAN I EVEN IMAGINE THAT I'M BETTER THAN THAT PERSON? UNDOUBTEDLY THEY'RE BETTER THAN ME.
5. When u see a disbeliever, u say to urself... IT IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE THAT ALLAH WOULD GUIDE THAT NON-MUSLIM TO THE TRUTH & IT IS EQUALLY POSSIBLE THAT ALLAH CAN SNATCH FAITH FROM ME BEFORE I DIE. SO TOMORROW HE OR SHE WOULD BE CLOSER TO ALLAH & MY CONDITION WOULD BE THAT I WOULD BE REJECTED. - 16:25
