Psychological Projection

Since I am no authority in psychology, I refer you to read about this here. But in brief, psychological projection is a defense mechanism by which people deny their own ill thoughts and behaviour by blaming it on others. It is amazing to know that this is happening all the time. Pharaoh accused Moses of "declaring mischief on earth." Moses? Allah's prophet is the one who is going to declare mischief on earth? How about you Pharaoh? Calling people to Allah? :-)

You will find it all over around you. People accuse one another of things they personally suffer from: "She is not sincere to me," "He did this because of his ill heart," or "No one loves me." How often you heard some people saying, "Muslims do not accept to live with others who hold different ideas or embrace different religion." That is projection.

Those who keep blaming Muslims of not accepting others ARE the ones who do not accept Muslims who proved time after another throughout their teachings and their history that they can live sincerely and willingly with others and bring to their communities what is best for them.

Just a little hint to the reader. If you find yourself accusing others with things that they do, examine your heart. You might be a victim of psychological projection.

Wallahu A3lam

By Allah, That is not the Character of a Liar!

This story happened in the streets of Mecca at a time when Prophet Muhammad was completely disbelieved by his people. There was a huge negative image around Islam and around him personally. Islamophobia was at its utmost at that time. People were warned not to talk to him: "He is a liar. He creates problems between people and their spouses and their sons and daughters. Stay away from him." He--peace be upon him--never stopped calling people to Allah. He never stopped living as a sincere human being with high quality character in a society that was prejudicial to him.
While walking in the marketplace, Prophet Muhammad found a very old lady struggling to carry the goods she bought from the marketplace to her house. He, unhesitatingly, offered her help. While carrying her stuff towards her house, he never called her with a name except "O my mother." After he dropped all the stuff before her house, she told him that she cannot pay him back for what he did for her except with a sincere advice. "There is a man in Mecca called Muhammad. He is a liar. Do not listen to him." She advised him sincerely. He-peace be upon him--responded by saying, "O My Mother! By Allah, I am not a liar." It was a surprise to her to know that this man whom every one accuses of being a liar is the very same man who helped her getting her stuff home. Shortly, she realized that she was a victim of a false rumor. She then told the prophet, "By Allah, that is not the character of a liar!"

Living at a time when so much hatred spread around about Islam and Muslims, we must follow the tradition and the character of the Prophet in serving our society and showing humanity who Muslims are and what Islam is. We will soon make people who were prejudicial to us to proclaim it clearly, "This is not the character of a liar!"

Wallahu A3lam

Do You Love Allah? Does He Love You?

Loving Allah is part of our worship to Him. The true worship is a complete submission with a complete love. But do we really love Allah? How do we know? How can we increase His love in our hearts? How can we make Him love us? What do we gain if that happens?
