"If you desire to live such that your religion is safe and your portion is full and your honor is sound, guard your tongue and never mention another's faults remembering that you yourself have faults and others have tongues."
Watch your eye. Should it ever reveal to you the faults of others, say to it, " O my eye, other people have eyes too ."
Live treating others well and avoid aggression, and should others aggress against you, leave them but in the best way.
The source of these words is in fact none other than the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) when he said,
" Be vigilant of God wherever your are, and follow a misdeed with a good deed and it will remove it; and treat others with the most excellent of character."
In another tradition the Prophet (pbuh) said, " Every child of Adam errs and the best of those who err are those who seek to redress them."
So be concious of God and make your request with dignity. In summation, repentance, awareness of God, and uprightness are the foundations of all that is beneficial. The truth is clear and its details are weighty and significant. The affair belongs only to God. Success is in His Hands.
