Looking for My Muslim Siblings to Correct Me When I Slip
Salaam alaikum, dear brothers and sisters. I’ve been chatting with folks about faith, and while I always aim to be truthful, I’m kinda worried I might accidentally mislead someone or paint a wrong picture of Islam and Allah. This thought hit me out of nowhere and honestly scared me. Astaghfirullah if I’m saying anything false about Allah without realizing it. I’d never knowingly lie about Him, but not knowing what I don’t know is frightening. To calm myself, I remind myself: why would I do that when Allah is already perfect and Islam is complete? Am I trying to make it seem flawed to appeal to others? Astaghfirullah Al Adheem! I’d never do that on purpose, so I know I need to study more to fix my gaps. Then I remembered what Jesus (peace be upon him) said: “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.” But of course, I’m no prophet-just a regular person with limited knowledge. So I’m reaching out to you all: if you ever see my comments and think something needs clearing up or could be misunderstood, please message me. Tell me to remove it if I’m wrong, or fix it so it’s more accurate. It was never and will never be my goal to spread anything false about Allah, my Lord, the Lord of All Worlds. So I figured, who better than fellow believers to support each other and boost our iman? Ya Rabb, guide me and all your righteous servants. Ameen 🤲
