Excerpt from Tariq Jameel’s speeches.
“And do not turn your cheek (wala tusair) in contempt toward people” (31:18)
What an amazing statement of our Lord! Your ill conduct shouldn’t even be reflected on the face.
In “la tusair” Allah forbids two things:
(1) One is a verbal speech everyone knows that one says something hurtful. But then there is where one doesn’t say anything but makes an annoying, horrible face such that there is contempt towards the other.
(2) Or with one’s eyes, a person gives you that look of disdain.
On our faces and looking at someone, there shouldn’t be hostility. Rather there should be goodness.
