A Powerful Reminder from Shaykh Muhammad Sa'eed Raslan

I just heard something that really made me think, from Shaykh Muhammad Sa'eed Raslan, may Allah preserve him. He said, in my own words: To everyone who insulted me, gossiped about me, or spread lies-all praise is for Allah, who made you carry my sins like a donkey or mule carries belongings. SubhanAllah. Because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, told us through Abu Huraira that if someone wrongs their brother or sister, they should ask for forgiveness in this life. In the Hereafter, there’s no money to fix things-if you have good deeds, they’ll be given to the one you wronged; if you don’t, their bad deeds will be piled on you. It’s from Sahih Bukhari, 6534. A serious reminder to keep our hearts clean and seek pardon while we can.
