Never label. Human beings are not two-dimensional that you can slap a label onto them and classify them.

One of the best ways to destroy ties between people, groups, and organizations is to label them. Even if they deserve it, don’t do it.

When you find yourself applying a label to someone, ask yourself: Will this action please Allah (سبحانه وتعالى)?

When you find others who label, back away. You don’t want to involve yourself with people like that.

During the time of ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, the dissenters labeled him. They said “‘Uthman doesn’t follow the sunnah,” a common label we find today. And what happened? It culmulated with his death.

May Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) protect us from destroying each other, intentionally or unintentionally, ameen.
