Don’t try to make yourself feel better by saying this picture is oversimplified because it isn’t. It is this simple.
"Sesungguhnya manusia itu bodoh kerana tidak mengetahui aib dirinya tetapi pintar kerana mengetahui aib orang lain. Manusia menghina aib siapa saja dan dilihatnya berlagak lebih mulia. Apabila dia melihat aib dirinya, dia mengabaikannya dan mengalihkan pandangannya pada aib-aib orang lain, seolah-olah dia buta dan tidak pernah melihat aibnya."
al-Harits al-Muhasibi

"When she is a daughter, she opens a door of Jannah for her father. When she is a wife, she completes half of the deen of her husband. When she is a mother, Jannah lies under her feet – if everyone knew the true status of a Muslim women in Islam, even the men would want to be women."
