'Warning from Busying yourself with others Faults'
People of intellect and sound mind protect and guard themselves from falsehood and their honor from anything which may harm it by following the path of virtue and good and avoiding what causes suspicion.
Whoever does not protect himself from his desires, then his faults will become great and his secrets will get exposed.
It is also said "Do not reach night causing evil gossip, and do not forget that there is a Lord always watching you.”
People have sharp tongues when it comes to others’ faults and souls that crave finding flaws. They spread others’ faults more than their virtues.
Bakr ibn Abdillah said,“If you see a man busy with other people's faults and he forget his own, then know that he has been deceived
It is prohibited to have evil assumptions of other Muslims who seem to be trustworthy, truthful, and good. Allah (the Most High) said, “Indeed, some assumptions are sin.”
Do not live in the circles of illusions, assumptions, doubts, and suspicions.
The oppressive one is he who criticizes those who are blameless and and belittles those of high moral character.
Criticism might fall on those who are free from it, and faults might be blamed on an Innocent ones, and the slanderer is from those who accused Innocents.
The poet replied,
He accused me and my father with that which we are free from.
He only accused us of this due to this well.
Do not let your minds wonder with falsehood and assumptions.

1. A)Yes , monotheism does mean there is one God & all other gods are false.
But your statement that it also mean " that God is my God " is misleading . It depends on the doctrine of that monotheistic religion .
From Islamic monotheism , Allah never said that he is Creator of Arabs . He is Creator if all in creation . So from a doctrinal pov your statement doens't hold up .
B ) how did u write Advaita = hindu philosophy ? Do u want me to mention difference between Advaita and dvaita ?
" There is no concept of shirk in Hinduism " . This is a red hearing , No One claimed Hinduism also has concept of shirk .
2. Tribal God ? In Islamic doctrine . No where it says Allah is Only God of Quraish tribe .
It was always " ilahi n Naas " , not to mention islamic was always about one's belief & not race/ethnicity , So it was never tribalistic in its Nature
& If someone's doctrine is to be Questioned for being tribalistic , It's Hinduism . It's a ethnico religion . Originated on the banks of Indus river , With special mentions to " Aryans " in 4 vedas.
Even after 4000 yrs , 95% of it's followers live in India .

\u201cMonotheism\u201d does not mean \u201cGod is one.\u201d It means \u201cthere is one God, that god is MY god, all others are FALSE gods.\u201d

There is no concept of \u201cfalse gods\u201d in Advaita or Hindu philosophy, no concept of \u201cshirk.\u201d
Monotheism is an imperialist ideology of intolerance and erasure. https://t.co/WsDX6pzK5R

Most Hindus don\u2019t understand this (Sikhs do even less).

Neither Sanatan nor Sikhi is \u201cmonotheistic.\u201d Monotheism is an ideology of supremacy, the elevation of a petty tribal god to the pretense of the Universal. It is ignorant tribalism universalized.https://t.co/yZkdxr7emP https://t.co/JDhOHnmGIT

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
- Unique to your own talents & interests https://t.co/bB3k1YcH5b
