Personally, I always have to watch myself to make sure studying and engaging in acts of worship don’t affect my heart negatively, not only in regard to my interactions with others, but also to not become complacent about it.

Brother Suhaib,

What are your views regarding the teachings of Imam Abu Hamid Ghazali (ra) in Mishkat Al Anwar, Book 20 and 21 of his Ihya?
Jazak Allah Khair

Assalamualaikum syeikh!

I have a question about professing or displaying one act of worship/sunnah/good deeds with intention to motivate others to do the same. Is it permissible? I know from the seerah that the sahabah during war campaign fund raising, they announce it like Umar r.a. announcing he is giving half of his wealth while Abu Bakar r.a. gave all of his wealth.

If it is okay to do so, -to motivate others to do more worship for example ‘I did this and that, you should do it too’ then, how do we deal with people that judging our action saying we are being arrogant, boastful, and prideful?

jazakallah for your time

Thanks for this post. Arrogance, in many different forms, is wrecking the Muslim community. I have seen too many “students of knowledge” who are out there viciously attacking literally every Muslim scholar except their own teachers. No one is safe from them until you are exactly like them, and they cut off other Muslims on issues that are legitimately differed upon. I think this kind of bigoted partisanship is a sign of extreme arrogance, because they don’t know when to say “Allah knows best.” The Muslims will never be united so long as arrogant argumentation in religion prevails. Shaykh Suhaib has been a great example of a humble and unifying scholar, may Allah preserve him.

Allah knows best.
