Don't be a wall. Be a bridge.

"His phone rang in masjid by accident during prayers.

The imam gave a short sermon after prayer and made him a reference point to careless worshiper.

Other worshippers around him admonished him after prayers too for interrupting.

His wife kept on lecturing him for his carelessness too when he got home.

Other brothers shook their heads in disgust.

You could see the shame, embarrassment and humiliation on his face.

He never stepped foot in the masjid again.

That evening, he went to a bar.

He was still very nervous and was trembling from his shame.

He ordered a drink.

He spilled his drink on the table, the bottle falls by accident too and some of the contents splashed on some of the people around.

Those it splashed rushed towards him.

He closed his eyes expecting a bashing or torrent of words of abuse or physical assault.

Instead they were caring and wanted to know if he was hurt and had he any cuts from the broken bottle.

The waiter apologized to him and gave him a napkin to clean himself up.

The cleaner mopped the floor.

The female manager offered him a complimentary drink.

She also gave him a huge hug and a peck while saying, "Don't worry man. Who doesn't make mistakes?"

He has not stopped going to that bar since then.

#Lesson to be learnt.

Sometimes our attitude as believers drives souls to Hell.

We think we know it all. We think it is very certain we are going to Jannah or heaven.

Alas, you can make a difference by how you treat people especially when they make mistakes.

* IF you cannot be a bridge to connect people, then do not be a wall to separate them.

* IF you cannot be a light to brighten people's good deeds then do not be the darkness covering their efforts.

* IF you cannot be water to help people's crops grow, then do not be the pest destroying their crops.

* IF you cannot be a vaccine to give life, then do not be a virus to terminate it.

* IF you cannot be a pencil to write anyone's happiness, then try to be an eraser to remove their sadness.

We can always be each others keepers, let us resolve to heal the world and make it a better place.

Can we do that??

Yes, we can.
