“And never let your hatred, against any People, prevrnt you from behaving justly.”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)
Kevin Samuels was a Controversial-Personality, advertising themselves via the Branding of: Life-Coaching, Relationdhip-Counseling, etc. whom amassed Vast-Amounts of Criticism&Disdain from their Opponents via their Social-Media Presence. Oftentimes labeled as a Misogynist, Troll, even as an Undercover-Homo, etc. However, since their Demise: there’s been Immense-Revelry…People have been literally celebrating Kevin Samuels’ Death. What’s even sadder is that Muslims have decided to bandwagon & dick-ride the Mockery of Kevin Samuels as per their Death…this whole Mockery/Cancel-Culture literally defies Islāmic-Principle, via Trend-Culture. Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “And don’t be an Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.”. Via the Life&Times of Kevin Samuels via al-Imma`tiyyah (Dick-Rider Culture) there’s 2-Dimensions: a. Those whom clung to everything which Kevin Samuels pontificated, even when they were wrong. b. Those whom denied everything which Kevin Samuels pontificated, even when they were right.
(at-Tirmidhī)
The above/aforementioned are simply some of Countless-Posts, which Certain-Muslims have taken it upon themselves to drag Kevin Samuels into the Dirt, for no other Reason than them agreeing with the Social-Commentaries of Kevin Samuels. Disagreeing with Kevin Samuels: that’s not inherently any Problem. I myself personally never agreed with everything Kevin Samuels pontificated/promoted. Yet, also, what I won’t do is mock their Death, speak as though they’re not even a Human-Being. Just as Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated:
a. Whomever believes in Allah & the Last-Day then let them speak good or be silent.
b. Don’t speak ill of the Dead, as to purposeky trigger the Living.
(an-Nawawī, at-Tirmidhī, ibn-Hibbān)
Sadly, as I always tell People: Apathy is worse than Ignorance. Not caring is worse than not knowing…Certain-People literally don’t even care concerning the Zhulm/Oppression of Trash-Talking the Dead. And, any/all of us know well the Ikhtilāf/Difference between Truth-Talking & Shit-Talking. And, pitifully, there’s been lots of Shit-Talking about Kevin Samuels. Even if/when someone deserves to die: they’re still Human-Beings & still deserve Human-Dignity. There’s literally 0 Islāmic-Justification for anyone (especially pertaining to Muslims) to discredit, dishonor, shit-talk any Human as to maliciously tarnish them via any Way. Muhammad (Peace be upon them) taught us that no one dies, unless they encounter/experience the Same-Things which we criticize Others for.
(at-Tirmidhī, al-Bayhaqī)
So, in Conclusion, as I always tell People: It’s easy to judge People, when our Sins aren’t Public-Knowledge.
