The believer , the mirror of the believer

 
The believer , the mirror of the believer .

The Holy Prophet said:

"The believer , the mirror of the believer"

A mirror is device in which all the features and the beauty of person , s face are clearly visible .

This is exactliy the case with a believer with another believer , that is , if there is any weakness or shortcoming in a believer , the other believing brother makes him aware if it and warns him so that he can correct it .The believer , the mirror of the believer

This is the best form of goodwill . The mirror silently points out the flaws and the person correcyt them .

Similarly, a believer should  explain the weaknesses of another believing brother very quietly and confidently . He should not publicize them and defame him .

This is a grave sin . A Muslim should cover up another Muslim and not hide it . Similarly, one should not

dwell on the faults of others . We , the Prophet Muhammad , have forbidden Muslims from this as well. In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad has explained the virtue of concealment:

                           " Whoever conceals a Muslim ,Allah will conceal him in this world and the Hereafter"

Therefore , if a Muslim , s weakness comes to the knowledge of another Muslim , it is a very good deed to inform him of it as an advice so that if he wants to improve himself , he can do it , and if he does not improve, he will still get the reward of admonition and advice .But using a defect as a basis to defame a Muslim and publicize it is not permissible in any way because it is not good will ,but ill will.

The character of a Muslim should be good will towards another Muslim, not ill will . He should be like a mirror , a silent preacher and preacher , not like a trickster and a humiliater .
