Criticism should always be constructive and include a solution. It’s important to point to solutions that will help people.

Foppery, being a smart-aleck and arrogance generates rage in people. It’s not acceptable to preach Islam with such a tone. What matters is sincerity.

A Muslim feels pleased by being criticized and corrects his mistakes. A hypocrite, on the other hand, gets paralyzed when they are criticized.

Blind, angry criticism is very wrong. Criticism is necessary, but it should be done to help, not to humiliate.

It is quite natural for a Muslim to make a mistake. People should not be afraid of making mistakes. Even if it is a big mistake, it can be solved by giving advice. But reacting angrily to advice is not normal. You could say, "Okay, I will consider this. May God bless you. I will try my best." That's it. But angry overreaction to advice is abnormal behavior.

Of course, a believer should be open to advice. A Muslim might make a mistake, there is nothing wrong with this but he should always pay heed to advice of others: In other words, a Muslim shouldn't be arrogant, disrespectful and snobbish, right? Even though he won't follow the advice, he should politely listen to it within the limits of the Qur'an and say, "I will try hard to do so."

Hypocrites are presumptuous and conceited. They always claim to know the best.

Hypocrites prefer a filthy life to a clean one. For example, avoiding taking daily showers, smoking weed, committing vile and immoral deeds, hanging around in cesspools, having close relations with disbelievers and experiencing such foulness is what hypocrites always have in mind. And they wish to be superior, and run the world without lifting a finger; that is their egocentricity and arrogance. They seek to stay in touch with a bad lot, and undertake dangerous ventures.

Muslims do not get offended with each other. The heart of a Muslim is always together with God. The world is a short, temporary course, a place of education; this is no place to make a name for oneself, to claim to be superior, to claim to be intelligent and so forth. When observed from outer space, the world looks like a speck of dust. Go further and you cannot even see it anymore. Mankind is only a particle within the speck of dust. A pitiful creature indeed. So from where comes this arrogance? We will soon be dead and gone.

The British shadow state is quite arrogant and egocentric. As hypocrites have an inferiority complex, they admire this arrogance, egocentricity and grandeur. Hypocrites regard the egocentricity of the British shadow state as that of an elephant's and admire it, whereas they regard theirs as that of an insect's. Thus, they hold the shadow state in high regard and is extremely respectful of it. They hold disbelievers, heretics and oppressors in high esteem.

Fiercely defending one's own desires is a mental illness. One should get a grip on himself in this situation and take refuge in God. He should ask himself, "How did I turn into such an abnormal person?" He should listen to what others have to say in a reasonable manner. A Muslim is open to 'al-amr bi-l-maʿrūf wa-n-nahy ʿani-l-munkar' (enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong). Therefore, he becomes wiser with ease.

Those who have a sickness in their hearts are proud, egocentric and arrogant. They regard the sense of superiority as a precious form of worship. However, they are not aware of the fact that they are doing it under the influence of satan. They cannot realize their evil actions.

Democratic struggle; even with harshest words or opposition is acceptable. But firing at civilians can never be accepted.

Anyone criticizing us must document his criticism with proofs from the Qur'an. They must say, “This is wrong according to this verse.” It’s unacceptable to say, “This is wrong according to my own conviction.”

I wish for people who are on the wrong path to correct their ways and not get deeper in their errors so that they are won over. To correct those who are on the wrong path, I respond to misdeeds with good. My tone is always reconciliatory and compassionate. I want to win over people I criticize, not humiliate them.

While criticizing a Muslim, one should say 'This is so and so according to this verse of the Qur'an'. Otherwise there is no error to criticize.

Pride has enveloped the entire world. Every country claims to be superior . However, it is only God Who is superior and grand.

Pride has enveloped the entire world. Every country claims to be superior . However, it is only God Who is superior and grand.

When we criticize someone, we aim to correct the ways of that person. We would not want that person to be oppressed or fade away.

The reason why some egocentric scholars of Islam stand against the movement of the Mahdi is that it clashes against their arrogance.

A righteous and honest criticism is supported but opposing merely to stir up sedition and disorder is a disgrace.

Samiri considered himself to be superior than Muslims and claimed "I saw what they did not see." This behavior shows the arrogance and impudence of hypocrites.

Have a look at human embryo. Everyone from presidents to butchers were like this in the beginning. Arrogance is in vain.

Arrogance is a type of mental illness. Those who are unable to realize their own weaknesses and still act arrogantly cannot be considered as reasonable beings.

Hypocrites wait for disasters to befall Muslims, but they end up being the ones surrounded by disasters as punishment from God.
