We should not have unrealistically high expectations of anyone. This is because if our exceedingly high expectations (of others) are not realised, we will be disappointed and will eventually lose respect for them. Human beings naturally make mistakes and only Allah is perfect. If we see others as normal human beings with faults, passions, desires and weaknesses and then view their achievements in that context, our respect and admiration for them will increase.

Then I shall look to what will be in my prescence and I shall then recognise my people from among the peoples, there will be like that behind me, and like that to my right side, and like that to my left side.”

A man enquired “O Rasulullah, how would you recognise your people from among other peoples who were between Noah and your people?”

He salialahu alahi wassalam replied “They shall have white faces, arms, and legs owing to the effect of wudhu. None besides them will be like that, and I shall recoginse them because they will surely bring their records in the right hands and I shall recognise them because their children will run in their prescence.” – Ahmad
