Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh. How does a Muslim weigh himself by the scale of honor?
Answer:
He holds himself to account so that he does not do or say anything except what conforms to the Shari'ah. He guards against saying what Allah has forbidden or doing what Allah has forbidden. The Muslim must hold himself to account constantly, constantly, so that he fears the forbidden in his speech and his actions. He must have self-accounting and struggle against his self. Yes.
