I stumbled across this beautiful quote on Facebook today:
It's true isn't it? The people who disagree with you are more valuable than those who do. Why? Because not only do they point out our flaws and humble ourselves, they also challenge us to gain more knowledge of the matter at hand in order to convince or persuade others in the future.
Imagine you're debating with a friend, and that person has more legit points than you and eventually makes his point. Doesn't that humiliate you in some way, even if they did make you even more knowledgeable in the process? With this humility, we can act on it to become more experienced in our field of interest so that the same mistake won't occur again.
And that's what I find beautiful about Allah's way in making us realise our mistakes to correct ourselves. Because humans can't do it alone. We need each other to point out our flaws, discreetly or otherwise to become a better person who can lift the status of all Muslims everywhere and improve the Ummah :)
jazakallah
