Quotes About Judgmentalism and Criticizing People

« Older posts

“The worst of our faults is our interest in other people’s faults.

Imam Ali bin Abi Talib

“When you finally realize that nothing is permanent in this life, you will become more tolerant, more forgiving and less judgmental.

Mufti Ismail Menk

“He who thinks that he is free from the criticism of people is a madman for even the Lord of the Worlds Himself has been wrongfully criticized.

Imam ash-Shafi`i

“The true Muslim tries to understand people but does not make judgments on them, and he may call them to what is good and right, but he does not impose his opinion upon them. As for reckoning and taking people to account, that solely belongs to God.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“Criticizing to destroy is easy, thinking in order to build is much more difficult to achieve

Tariq Ramadan

“If you think deeply about the conditions of people, you will find those who are most concerned with the faults of others to have the most faults themselves.

Al-Jahiz

“When it comes to our own mistakes, we are expert defense lawyers; for the mistakes of others, we act as judges on the Supreme Court.

Yasir Qadhi

“Many students of today busy themselves with the errors of others instead of their own.

Imam al-Albani

“To judge one’s intention is to belittle him, and to belittle him is a form of pride, and to have an atoms worth of pride in your heart is enough to forbid you from entering paradise.

Shaykh Omar Suleiman

“I think we as a community need to come back to center. On the one end, we are so unforgiving, judgmental and harsh towards others and ourselves. On the other end, we think any mention of right or wrong is being ‘too judgmental.’ I think again and again we’re missing the point. In an attempt to push our interpretations of rules and regulations, we’re missing priorities like adab (manners) and akhlaq (character). In an attempt to ‘enjoin good and forbid evil’ we’ve developed a squad of ‘haram police’—but forgotten the heart. We do this, although our Prophet (pbuh) has told us that the heart is the master. He said, ‘In the body there is a lump of flesh, if it is set right, the entire body is set right. If it is corrupted, the entire body is corrupted. Verily, it is the heart.’ Let’s come back to center. Let’s come back to the core. Let’s stop talking about whether Valentine’s Day is haram or halal. Let’s look deeper at where our problem lies.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Don’t allow your tongue to utter the fault of another person, because you are covered in faults and everyone else has tongues too. Don’t allow your eyes to fall on the faults of others. Turn away your eyes and say to your eyes, ‘oh eyes, other people have eyes too.’

Imam ash-Shafi`i

“The fault is in the one who blames. The Spirit sees nothing to criticize.

Rumi

“Happy are those who find fault with themselves instead of finding fault with others.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“Many of the faults you see in others, dear ones, are your own nature reflected in them.

Rumi

“Hypocrites look for faults; the believers look for excuses.

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

“Ar-Rabi` ibn Khuthaym Ath-Thawri was asked why he never criticizes any one. He said "If I'm not satisfied with myself how can I talk about others?"

Ar-Rabi` ibn Khuthaym Ath-Thawri

“Often when we complain about 'Muslims' being 'this' or 'that', we really mean: 'everyone else but me'. Remember, change starts with me.

Yasmin Mogahed

“People with small hearts will minimize & belittle all that you do; people with large hearts will encourage & find good in all that you do.

Yasir Qadhi

“What hurts is not the criticism of our enemies, but rather the silence of our friends.

Yasir Qadhi

“Those who criticize the most typically end up solving the least.

Yasir Qadhi
