taunting others

 One who taunts others are always in a state of anger and regret. They make others feel bad and they themselves feel bad about themselves. One who criticizes and taunts others are in fact taunting themselves. It's better to look at your own faults rather than finding faults in others besides it's not a good thing ridiculing and taunting others. In Surah Hujurat its is said those who taunt and deride others are the ones on whom Allah looks down about as the person derided maybe better than you if he is a more Allah fearing person than you. Every person has some flaw and no one is perfect so we shouldnt taunt others on the basis of intelligence, looks, occupation or socio economic status. We all go through tough times and Allah puts everyone in hardship so we must not taunt people in their situations. Allah puts everyone under tests. In the end what i would like to say is that Allah puts everyone under trial so we mustnt further pull down people by taunting them.

Forgiving others helps you to feel better and we shouldnt keep personal battles, fights and grudges with anyone. forgiving people helps us to prevent battles, wars and conflicts. Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) always used to forgive not only his ummah but also his enemies. The Quraish persecute his family, companions and himself for so many years even then he forgave them and invited them to Islam. An old kafir woman used to throw rubbish at him daily but even then our Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) used to forgive that lady.  For our personal relationships we should learn to forgive in order to prevent quarrels, in ward family fighting and misunderstandings. In fact shaitan whispers evil in our hearts to fight within the family and not to forgive family members. In the end what I would like to say is that in order to lead a peaceful and tranquil life we need to forgive one anot...
