We are all in some sort of debt. Not only financially, but in all sorts of way. Almost in every moment, matter and situation. We`re in debt of those who smiled at us, when we we`re worried. We`re in debt of those who gave us a helping hand, when we were struggling. We`re in debt of those who helped us learn knowledge, that we later internalized into our conduct. We are in debt of those who supported us, when many were against us. We are in debt of those who listened to us and guided us to good. We are in debt of those good friends, who didn`t give up on us. We are in debt of those who helped us to attain a living in a country, who is ranked in the top ten countries to live in. We are in debt of those who helped us develop our skills, our talents. We are in debt of those who guided us to the profession, we wanted to achieve. We are in debt of those who helped us find our spouse. We are in debt of the support of the people who care. We`re in debt of those who remember us in their prayers. We are in debt of everyone who’s had a pep-talk with us. We`re in debt of those who motivated us when we were down. Actually we have a lot of debt. May Allah pay it for us in this world and the next. And raise the ranks of those who supported us, in this world and the next. And make us appreciate the good in people. And make us appreciate them in this world also. And reward them for all the good we have achieved and will accomplish. Aameen.
Hazoor Paak pbuh talked about racism in his final khutbah. And till today we are still suffering from rasicm between different ethnicities and different colors within the ummah. Being arab versus ajam.
Nowadays in some countries if an important person give his recomendations about a person for a position in a organisation, he will get employed. In some countries if people pay money to get hired, they get the job, even when other people are more qualified for the position. Hazoor Paak pbuh told his own daughter, Fatma raa, if you want to be granted jannah, don’t rely on your lineage, but be consistent in doing good deeds. Imagine, his telling this to his pbuh own daughter.

Allah raised the rank of a black slave to stand on what is the most sanctified in Islam, the kaabah, to give a Bilali (raa) adhaan (call to prayer). His ranks were raised. His color didn’t matter, his obedient mattered.
We should not avoid certain people just because they are weird or unusual people. Allah also told Hazoor Paak to not avoid certain companys, just because some of the chiefs, disliked being in their company of the poor and weird. That is what is happening today. People avoid each other because of what others own, and wear. Not realizing that the true person is not mere there outside, but it is their values, conduct, behaviour, character, god-consiousness/god-fearingness.
We have lost such an important part of the sunnah. We have become arrogant (arab). May Allah help us humble ourselves without becoming a dormat. Aameen
