But who are we to judge people based on what we see?
You never know. The person you look down on might be closer to Allah than you are.
Allah does not measure a person by their title—an alim, an ustadh, a hafidh, or a student of knowledge. He knows what is in every heart, and only He knows who truly fears Him.
The only measure we have is what Allah tells us in the Qur’an:
“Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-conscious of you.”
— Qur’an 49:13
So, do not judge people too easily.
But at the same time, learn to protect yourself. If you know that something may cause people to misunderstand you, and you can avoid it, then avoid it.
We cannot control how people perceive us, but we can be mindful of what we show.
Do not judge others by what you see.
And do not give people unnecessary reasons to judge you.
