No Comparing! | Ali Reza Panahian

Don’t compare yourself with others. There are weak and strong people among God’s servants. People’s capacities are different. Thus, I swear I’m afraid of [insulting] even the sinners. We have to respect them too. What should I say?
What can we do if God forgives them and so they go faster than us? [God says,] “Even though you’ve put much effort, stay behind the door for now.” We shouldn’t compare at all.
Then people ask, “We shouldn’t discourage others from evil?” Discourage from evil softly. If he didn’t listen, don’t think he’s a sinner and you’re good. Maybe he is actually better than you. Don’t mix these things together. Don’t compare yourself with anyone. Don’t compare yourself with the one whom you’re discouraging from evil. Even if he sinned, don’t say, “I only sin half as much as he does!” Maybe God will punish you for sinning half as much. But if he sins ten times more, God won’t punish him.
On the Day of Judgment, you’ll see some surprising scenes. God willing we will go and see. God will punish some people for some sins, while others have committed ten times more sins. God tells those people, “It’s fine; go. I’ve forgiven you. Go.” We’ll be surprised! You say, “God, I only did one percent of these wrong deeds. But you’re telling these people that it’s fine and they may go! And you’re punishing me?!”
Then God tells you, “I didn’t give him much wisdom. I didn’t give him a high capacity for spirituality and faith. What does this have to do with you?! I expected him to the extent of his own abilities. He fulfilled 50% of it, and I forgave the other 50%. But do you know how much I granted you, you nasty person, and how much I gave you?!”

For God’s sake, no one should compare himself with others. What can we do if God forgives them and so they go faster than us? We shouldn’t compare at all.
