Husn e Zan Ki Barkaten

Book Name:Husn e Zan Ki Barkaten

Dear Islamic brothers! We do not know whether Allah Almighty will forgive us or give the command for us to be thrown into Hell, مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

It is stated in the book of Maktaba-tul-Madinah, Allah Walon Ki Baatayn, volume 2: When Sayyiduna Bakr Bin Abdullah Muzani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would see an elderly person, he would say, ‘He is better than me and has the honour of worshipping Allah Almighty before me,’ and when he would see a younger person, he would say, ‘He is better than me, for I have committed more sins than him.’ He would also say, ‘Make it necessary upon yourself to do such a thing that when you do it, you will be worthy of reward, and if you cannot act upon it, then you will not be sinful, and refrain from such an action that if you were to perform it, you will not gain reward, and if you leave it, you will be sinful.’ It was asked, ‘What is that?’ He said, ‘Having a bad opinion of people, because if your bad opinion is correct then you will not gain any reward for it, but if your opinion is not correct, you will be sinful.’

If only, for their sake, we too are given the ability to save ourselves from having a bad opinion and instead given the ability to have a good opinion of every Muslim.

It is stated in part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 12:

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوْا كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ٘-اِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ اِثْمٌ

O believers! Avoid much suspicions; indeed, some suspicions become sin.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 26, Surah Hujuraat, Verse 12)

Mentioning the reason behind some assumptions being declared as sinful in this verse, Imam Fakhr-ud-Deen Raazi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه stated: This is
