Not everybody is on the same level of piety & none of us can claim to be holier than the other. 

Whilst some are working very hard to improve their clothing & appearance others are working equally hard to improve their faith & character. 

Some focus on rectifying visible weaknesses yet others have overtaken them through rectifying hidden weaknesses. 

The winners are those who can work hard to improve both simultaneously. 

Some improve very quickly initially & lose focus later on whilst others improve slowly & quietly, overtaking those who continue to think they are astray. 

Never let Satan make us feel that others are astray unless they move at our pace & start by rectifying what we found easy to rectify in our lives. 

Be careful what you think of others for their link with the Almighty could be much stronger than ours. 

Let's pray for each other rather than against each other, and focus on our weaknesses, both hidden & apparent.
