One person once said that there are millions of human beings in the world but at the same time there are very few human beings. Outward and apparently it seems to be an inconsistency. How can there be millions of human beings on one side and on the other side we say that there are no human beings.
When he was asked to clarify he said, "In flesh and blood, there are many human beings, millions of them. But true human beings who live with values of the human beings are very few."
Many of us have confined the issue of Iṣlāh and reformation to only our outward appearance, or maybe to the acts of ʿibadāt (worships). We come to our masjid, and perform our salāt, make some tilāwah of qur’ān, make some ẓikr, probably give some ṣadaqah and charity, wear a sunnah clothing and keep a beard. These are all important issues and we should not lose sight of these things.
But with that, the internal value of the human being is equally important. And that is our muʿāmalāt, our dealings with people, even in the outside world.
As Muslims, our submission to All Mighty Allah Taʿāla is in our 24 hour life cycle. So it’s not only to the masjid, it’s not only restricted to a few actions and deeds.
When we assess our life, we observe that probably in every step and move of our life, we are bound to some terms, some conditions and some agreements. Every step and move of our life.

It hurts Islam in two ways.
1. Non-muslims hate Islam.
2. Non-practicing muslims distance themselves from Islam.
May Allah forgive us, we shall be responsible for this.
If something of the Deen is hurting Muslims, then Allah tells us:
Loading Qur'aan Verse Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.
Also
Loading Qur'aan Verse That He should establish the truth and abolish falsehood, even if the criminals disliked it.
And many more examples.
What the Kuffar think is out of ignorance and what the believers feel is also out of ignorance.
But with that, the internal value of the human being is equally important. And that is our muʿāmalāt, our dealings with people, even in the outside world.

I have missed to quote the second para in my earlier post.
When a muslim brother gets identified by his clothing and his beard has disastrous behavior and commerce in his 24 hrs cycle; he hurts Islam in two ways:
His actions bring hatred towards Islam by non muslims.
Non practicing Muslims including his nears and dears, people with whom the person deals with; distance themselves from Islam because of his disastrous mamilaath, muashirath, akhlaq. They say "if this is Islam, then we are better without Islam"
Agreed, but still, anyone with judging a whole religion based upon the action of a person is unfair to the Deen of Allah. Those Muslims are doing injustice to their Deen and to the favour Allah has bestowed upon them.
I was hearing a bayan. The speaker said that a jew scholar tested Prophet PBUH for Akhlaq and mamilath (the speaker narrated an incident here) and then he declared that he is true prophet.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
