The eminent Muslim scholar and renowned Da`iyah, Sheikh `Abdel Khaliq Hasan Ash-Shareef, states: “Such matters are related to acts of the heart which no one but Allah can judge. In other words, actions of the heart are only known to Allah and thus people cannot judge them.
What we’d like to stress here is that all these matters are acts related to the heart that Almighty Allah only knows and judges. Furthermore, it is far better to occupy oneself with one’s faults rather than judging others’.
