Our
prophet (P.B.U.H.) says:
"There
are three destroyers
(a) a covet which is blindly
pursued.
(b) Niggardliness, complied with
(c) the conceit of the man,- being
the most dangerous
self-impeachment
is such a function which purifies the man from all the putrid and vicious
agents and blows in the nation the spirit of vivacity and activity. The good
friend is one who admits the criticism of the friends and tries his level best
to rectify himself. But one should not lose the Sight of the fact that the
friend be not shown the moral stains in such a way that may hurt his sentiment.
The tactful device to remove the stains is the best friendship. Likewise, when
you try to correct your friend, you too should be generous enough to give him a
chance to point out your defects and
when they accomplish this unpleasant task please welcome their criticism
gracefully and broadmindedly, and with an open heart and a sense of gratitude,
pay thanks to his sincerity and kindness. Our prophet (P.B.U.H.) has likened
this ideal friendship to a mirror:
"One of you is the mirror of his brother. So
when he finds with him any defect, he should remove it".
As
per the spiritual Law, every person is a mirror, and the function of mirror is
that when a man stands opposite it, the mirror absorbs all his stains and spots
in itself and exposes them to him. When he gets away, the mirror ignore all
these stains and spots. Like this broadmindedness of the mirror, you should too
expose your friend's defect and shortcomings only when he presents himself
before you for criticism and gives you an ample chance of impeachment. While
giving advices, you should entertain leniency and courtesy. If you feel that
your friend is not prosense to withstand your overdose reproach, please defer
your campaign to another sitting. You should avoid, in his absence, to utter
such words that may leak out any of his flaws, because such a thing is
back-biting which engenders hatred. Point out only those defects which are
exposed to you during the whole life period of the friend and don't trace out
the perdu flaws, because to dig out the hidden defects is the most heinous and
disastrous malady.
Once
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) climbed the platform and warned the audience in a sonorous
accent:
"Don't pursue the secrets of Muslims. One who
lusts after the secrets of his Muslim brothers, Allah exposes his own secrets
and when Allah turns to disclose someone's secrets, he becomes ignominious
though he may be sitting underground".

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
