¨ We forsake our Islamic education and adhered to sadly transient pleasures of this worldly life. On the other hand we believe in Allaah; hopelessly we don’t obey His rules, regulations and instructions.
¨ We talk too much and accomplish very little or not at all.
¨ We set up rules and regulations; but we never abide by them or never respect them.
¨ We smile at each other’s presence; but with nasty grin on our face we talk ill-fully behind one another.
¨ We mask our eyes to see our weakness; but, with widely open eyes, we rush to engage in seeing other people’s weakness.
¨ We don’t give much attention to facts; but we warmly welcome fallacy and resort to gossip sources.
¨ We don’t bother to verify hearsay or a rumor from its original sources; but we believe whatever we hear from a scandal monger.
¨ We shamelessly pretend that we know what we do not. We don’t admit that we know not.
¨ We are not straightforward in dealing with one another; but we spin yarn about dealing with the issue.
¨ We defend our mistakes by giving disguised justification, rather than admitting and apologizing.
