In life we are presented with countless opportunities to do good or to bad. What we choose is up to us entirely. Of
every situation we can make good of, or make it to our detriment. When we assume the negative of people based on what
we see and not fact, then we have chosen to do bad over good. This happens to all of us almost every day. The following
incident highlights our plight.

one fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problem for the
first few stops- a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy on, six foot eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the
ground. He glared at the driver and said, “I don’t pay! and sat ddown at the back.

Did we mention that the driver was five foot thee, thin and basically meek? Due to this the thoughts of him putting
up a fight with ‘big guy’ could’t cross his mind and so quite naturally, he didn’t dare argue with him, but he wasn’t happy
about it. The next day the same thing happened – The big guy got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat
down. And this continued for a number of days.

This grated on the bus driver, who started lossing sleep over the way the guywas taking advantage of him. Finally
he could stand it no longer and so hen signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff which
would put his opponent in place.

By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what’s more, he felt really good about himself.

So on the next Monday, when the guy once again got on the bus and said, “I don’t pay!” The driver stood up,
glared back at the passenger, and screamed, “And whynot?” With a suprised look on his face, He replied, “Simply because
I have a bus pass.”

The poor driver had nowhere to hide his shameful face. He had just realised that he had made and ‘ass of himself
by wasting all his time and energies in body building so that he culd show the guy who he was. However had he, in the first
place, taken the time to polity ask the reason for not paying and not asuming the negative he would have not gone through
all the troble.

The moral of this incident/story is quite self-evident. However, it is a lesson that many of us seem to overlook and
disregard in the many activities and chores of our life. We learn from this incident that a person should not be hasty in
making assumptions and judgeing a situation or an individual from what seems to be the apparent.

It is essential that a Muslim assumes the best of his fellow being and gives him tha benefit of tha doubt. If possible
, one should allow the fellow being to explain himself as to clear any doubty\s one may have.

our Nabi (S.A.W.) has hasty is from Shaytaan whilst steady composure is from Allah Taala.
In the same manner Ulamaa hve stated that if there is a single reason for doubt should have an effect on the
decision that is made.

In conclusion, one swhould take all factors into consideration and avoid hastiness in judging an individual.
Instead, one should try to make the matter clear as to avoid placing false accusations and assumptions on anyone. Rather
this making an ass of yourself!
