HadithHadith“Do not backbite the Muslims or
seek their faults, for whoever seeks their faults, then Allah will seek his faults; and if Allah seeks a person’s faults, then He will expose him even in (the privacy of) his house.”
HadithHadith“He who removes from a believer
one of his difficulties of this world, Allah will remove one of his troubles on the Day of Resurrection; and he who finds relief for a hard-pressed person, Allah will make things easy for him on the Day of Resurrection; he who covers up (the faults and sins) of a Muslim, Allah will cover up (his faults and sins) in this world and in the Hereafter.”
HadithHadith“On the day of Qiyaamah Allah
shall call a believer to draw near to Him. A curtain shall be drawn so that none may see. Allah shall then remind him of each and every fault of his which he shall be obliged to admit. Seeing the great amount of his faults, that person shall feel that he had indeed failed and shall perish . . .

Judging OthersJudging OthersA person always compares himself
as a standard and finds mistakes in others
A person comes to masjid once a dayInstead of looking up at others and
say I should come more often, he looks at someone and says look at him, he doesn’t even come at all. So I am at least better than that person. We find their faults.
Judging OthersJudging OthersWe judge others by comparing
them to ourselvesWe find their faults so we can
compare ourselves to them and feel good
If I can do this, then why can’t heThis leads to prideWe begin to feel we are better than
that person or above that person
Judging OthersJudging OthersWe always look at someone that
we feel we are better than because that makes us feel good
Instead of looking at someone who is better than us and trying to be like them, we look at someone who is doing less than us and say at least I am better than that person
Judging OthersJudging OthersWe need to judge ourselves
honestlyWe find faults in others so we don’t
feel bad about our sinsIt’s a defense mechanismOnce we justify and become
comfortable with who we are, we can never improve.
We can never recognize our own faults and try to change them
