How absolutely despicable I have become due to these sins! On the day of Qiyamah, I will be questioned about my own sins, not about the vices of others. Allah Ta\u2019ala says: &#8220;You are not responsible for what I (Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) do and I am not responsible for what you do.&#8221; To despise anyone is a sin on its own \u2014 and a very serious one too.
