Ramadan Kareem

Vote: The Paper You’re Printed On

Would you not vote for someone just because of the way they talk, dress, look or rate on your scale of holiness?

Would YOU be enthused about having to stand up for criticism in front of everyone for the things you do behind closed doors?

Are you so comfortable with yourself that you’re in a position to judge them?

Would you bet your money on the fact that he/she is not worthwhile because of your outward opinion of that person?

Are you among the Mutaffifeen?

Those who if they are buying something (on the receiving end) double check that their getting their money’s worth, but if they are on the selling end take a little out from the merchandise – cheat?

Are you worth the paper you’re printed on?

When you advise someone, who doesn’t know any better, to vote for outward appearances you are betraying that persons trust and an Amanah you owe them is to be truthful.

I will tell you right now, there are no Angels here, and you are not holy.

A person can look the part and be as filthy as they wanna be.

Don’t belittle the stuff you do behind closed doors. Allah SWT can take away your status, dignity, and spotless reputation in the blink of an eye.

The job of an officer isn’t to make an organization look good, or seem up to par in holiness.

Allah asks if they – Al Mutaffifeen – doubt that they will be resurrected, held accountable for their actions.

Fear Allah in the rights of other people.

He hears all.
He sees all.

Lets triple check our intentions behind this year’s vote and Inshallah we can’t help but do the right thing.
