OUR BEHAVIOUR TODAY
These days we really don’t care about the impact of our
behaviour on other people. Many times, when there are sermons going on in
mosques the loud speakers are turned on to full volume. No on in the
neighbourhood can sleep and everyone gets disturbed because of the noise. If
someone requests the perpetrators to turn the volume down, then they are
accused of interfering in Allah’s work. What these people don’t realise is that
they are not doing Allah’s work, rather they are going against Allah’s word by
causing distress, discomfort and inconvenience to other people. It is written
in “The Etiquettes for an ‘Alim’ (religious scholar)” that the Alim’s voice
should not carry far beyond his gathering. All this is included in causing harm
to people through one’s words. Allah Ta’alah has granted us this tongue to do
Allah’s Zikr (remembrance), to say what is true, to bring comfort to people
through our words. It has not been given to us to make other people miserable.
