Allah knows all
One day, the disciples of Sheikh Jafar Shoushtari saw him sitting by the stream and crying loudly.
The sheikh’s disciples, seeing this situation, became worried and asked: “Master, why are you crying like this? “Did anyone tell you anything?”
Sheikh Jafar said among the cries :”Yes, one of the deviants said something to me that bothered me. “
Everyone asked anxiously: “What did he say?”
The sheikh replied that deviant told him “Sheikh Jafar, I am what everyone says about me. Are you the same as everyone says about you ?! “
“And that question changed my mind strangely.”
Yes; We humans try to behave in a way that our people admire but we may commit wrong doing in secret and not be as pious and pure as people think we are.
It is very bad for a person to look different from his inner self and look good in his outer appearance, but inwardly and in fact he is a sinner.
Such a person has in fact deceived himself and distanced himself from true happiness, because Allah is aware of the appearance and the interior of people and is fully aware of all good and bad deeds and overt and covert deeds.
(16:19) Allah knows all that you conceal and all that you disclose.
Surah An-Nahl 16:19
Let us try to behave as Allah loves, not as the rebellious soul or others like, then we will be loved by Allah and achieve true happiness.
