Mufti Abu Layth says that living one's life trying never to be hurtful or hateful is what validates one's Islam as a human being, and that disliking what people do is different from hating them.
“as far as being a human being is concerned that is your islam validated as long you know you have lived to the best of your capacity to not be hurtful and not be hateful”
Mufti Abu Layth says bitterness harboured against others destroys the one who carries it and hurts those closest to them, and he prays that God heals such hearts.
“i tell you something about being bitter in life it never ends well”
