My brothers and sisters, people think they will derive comfort by

interfering in the lives of others in a negative way.

So talk about them behind their backs and you think you're going to get anything you want.

Interfer and involve in their lives.

Worry about what others are doing, their sins and their, you know, their evil without

being positive about it, which means

if you are to instruct and it's our duty to help people to remind them it should be in a beautiful

positive way, not in a negative way. We don't insult and abuse others, but rather we speak to them in a nice way.

Or we send them a message or remind them with a beautiful reminder.

So Allah says in verse number 105 of Surah to the Maida.

O you who believe, be concerned about yourselves.

Those who are astray will not harm you. They will not hurt you at all if you yourselves are rightly guided.

From this we learn, I need to be worried about myself before others.

Yes, I must be concerned in a positive way about others. Don't get me wrong.

We're not saying don't remind people of what's right and wrong.

No, you must, but in a beautiful way. Before that, remember yourself.

Always be concerned about yourself before others.

Anything bad? Worry about yourself.

When we say worry about yourself, we're talking about bad deeds.

Make sure you're not engaging in it. Make sure while trying to correct others, you don't slip into misguidance.

Make sure that you don't develop your ego and pride simply because you want to correct someone whom you have seen doing wrong.
