Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Oh Ali, if two people
come to ask you to judge between them, do not judge in favour of the
first until you hear the word of the second in order that you may know
how to judge.” [Ahmad, Abu Daud]
Humans are hasty by nature. We are quick to judge. A situation
aggravates us and we rush to condemn without bothering to determine
all the facts first. In our haste usually only one point of view is
considered. This could happen in our households when children get into
a fight. This also often happens when we hear things about people. We
don’t stay out of things that do not concern us; then we do not bother
to hear the other side of the story either. Thirdly, we also get
easily influenced with one sided information broadcast at us through
the media.
In short, we do exactly what Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) has forbidden,
which is to make haste in passing judgment. Rasul Allah (sal Allahu
alaihi wa sallam) used to make dua begging Allah, “Enable me to see
reality as it really is.”
