UM Special: Your Opinion of People – Quran & Hadith

Good opinion of Allah 1

“O you who believe, avoid most suspicion. Indeed some suspicion is a crime. And do not spy and do not backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat his brother’s dead flesh? No, you would hate it. And fear Allah.” (49: 12)

“ُThere are two characteristics that have no superior good : a good opinion of Allah and a good opinion of the slaves of Allah. There are two characteristics that have no superior evil : a bad opinion of Allah and a bad opinion of the slaves of Allah.” -Hadith

Have a good opinion of Allah.
