Life, in the shade of the Islamic Creed, has taught me
That I should, as far as possible, practice what I preach
And whoever preach what they don’t practice and call others to do
They actually make fun of themselves
Like the camels dying of thirst in the desert while water is carried on their backs
Like someone who washes the clothes of others while wearing filthy, dirty clothes
You hope to be saved but you don’t take the safe path, verily, the ship will not sail on dry land
When a dead body is carried on the bier it will not remember the life they lived
On the Day of Resurrection neither wealth nor sons will avail, when you are put in in the grave this world and all its pleasures will become nothing
First begin with yourself and restrain it from wrongdoing, for only then you will succeed
Only then your words will be valuable, effective, and exemplary
Do not condemn an action and then behave in that same manner, it is a terrible disgrace upon you
Therefore, adhere to that which is beneficial for you
And, as far as possible, practice what you preach:
“It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not.” (As-Saff 61:3)
