Imam Zijad’s Corner: Covering Mistakes of Others

Reported by Abu Hurairah (r) that Muhammad (S) said: “One who covers up the failings of somebody in this world, will have his shortcomings covered up by God on the Day of Judgment.” (Muslim)

Transliteration: “La Yasturu ‘Abdun ‘Abdan Fid Dunya Illa Satarahullahu Yawmal Qiyamah.”

Note:

The concept expressed by the phrase “To err is human” is fundamental to the Islamic conception of human personality. God does not expect us to be free of errors or sins, although He does want us to try our best to avoid them. When we fail, He wants us to sincerely repent and seek forgiveness. Indeed, He is the most-Forgiving, the most-Compassionate.

As we all want God to be lenient to us, we need to be lenient to others. As we desire from God that He covers us – particularly on the Day of Judgment – we can easily attain such protection by covering the weaknesses of others.

The matter of concealing the faults of others is mentioned in numerous hadith of Muhammad (S). In particular, we find the following: “O gathering who believe with their tongues but faith has yet to enter into their hearts, do not backbite the Muslims. And do not search into their private matters. Whoever searches for their private matters will have Allah follow up his private matters. And whose private matters Allah follows, He will expose him even [if his act were done] in his house.” [Ahmad and Abu Dawood]

Weekly Verse

Almighty Allah reminds us in the Qur’an:

“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing.” (An Nisa 58)

The University of Ottawa Press, in collaboration with Library and Archives Canada, cordially invite you to the book launch of:
Islam in the West – Beyond Integration By Zijad Delić
The event will be hosted by Adrian Harewood, co-host of CBC News Ottawa.

RSVP
Listen to Zijad Delić talk about his book Islam in the West on the UOP YouTube channel.
Islam in the West: Beyond Integration presents a vibrant discussion on the most debated issues regarding Canadian Muslims and their faith—Islam in modern Canada. The need has never been greater to explore the origins of Canadian Muslims, who have been in Canada since before Confederation, and the concepts of Muslim identity, integration, citizenship, belonging and loyalty, in the here and now. The book examines some of these issues in detail, raising questions for both Canadian Muslims and the wider Canadian society, and offers substantial material for an open and democratic discourse. Read more.

Imam Zijad Delić
is a resident scholar and imam in Ottawa as well as a doctoral student at the University of Ottawa. He is an educator who wants to tell his story and thus the story of Canadian Muslims. Delić was twice selected as one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world. He was recognized by the Province of Ontario for a decade of volunteer work, and he received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012.

Feel free to share this invitation.
We look forward to seeing you there!
