In Islaam, speaking good is rewarded, but acting upon that good is what truly earns Allaah’s pleasure. Allaah warns us clearly:
(O you who believe! Why do you say what you do not do? It is greatly detested by Allaah that you say what you do not do.)
(Qur’an 61:2–3)
Before advising others, look inward. Ask yourself,
“Am I trying to follow this advice too?”
We don’t need to be perfect to remind others, but we should always be striving toward the same good we encourage. Even a small step in that direction brings sincerity to our words and blessing to our actions.
May Allaah make our words and actions consistent, protect us from inconsistencies in our actions and words and help us live by what we speak. Ameen.
