Tolerance has become an empty epithet. Wild accusations and knee jerk reactions to every scandal have become the norm. Though forbidden in the Holy Quraan, we seem double-faced regarding this command. For example, we embrace the Prophet’s beloved Humayra (rad) as an icon for men and women worldwide, as one who had her integrity and her loyalty suspected and denigrated. Yet, she (rad) emerged a stoic, celebrated heroine. When it comes to similar accusations against our fellow beings, we don’t exercise the same morality. We understand that we must not and shall not act on emotion: yet blinded by rage and frustration we unwittingly subterfuge our judiciousness. We claim to be activists for humaneness and fairness, but we use those words cheaply and often without wisdom. The teachings of our faith espouse that we do not need to like a person or get along with them to do justice to ourselves and the teachings of our Faith in this regard.

Let us consider just one small example in the lives of the Sahaba (rad), when weighed through a pinhole of modernity, we many not like. This pretty much sums up our attitude to fellow Muslims when we only have a narrow slice of their perspectives. The bigger picture is that we are all protected (by the Ieman within us) from being judged unfairly. We find that the tapestry we call the sahaba (rad) were made of different types of yarn, yet our beloved (pbuh) didn’t call them [weak] hypocrites, a word we throw around whenever the thrust of another’s activism is not in line with our own. Mugheera (ra) was a man who reportedly had a weakness for beautiful women and lived for part of his life with an adultery charge over him. He would marry and divorce after a little while to make room for more beautiful faces in his life. It is mentioned he married no less than 70 wives, taking steps to ensure that at one time his wives were not more than four, the limit prescribed by the Shariah. Al-Dhahabî, reports that he once said: “A man who has only one wife is ill when she is ill and has menstruation when she has hers. A man with two wives is between two flaming fires.” So he took four at a time, and divorced four at a time. Whether we like it or not, it was his halaal way of staying away from the temptations of zina. read more
