The Prophet Muhammad SAW said that a Mu'min is a mirror to a Mu'min.
The quality of mirror :
FiRsT
For it to show the actual image of a person, a mirror must be clean and clear itself. Thus a Mu'min or Mu’minah is required to purify his/her heart, thoughts and actions, to qualify to be a mirror of her/his brother or sister.
SeConD
A mirror always shows you, your actual image. It doesn't hide your imperfections (May Allah SWT forgive us for using this term for His perfect creation). The mirror isn't in a quest to make us happy or sad by showing us otherwise. It simply reflects how we are. It is that honest and truthful.
ThIrD
Once you move away from the mirror, on your return, it doesn't remind you of the situation it saw you before. If you had just woken up from sleep, and looked at it with disheveled looks, once well groomed, it will not tell you of your past. It is forgiving. It doesn't hold grudges. It doesn't remind you of your shameful past.
FouRtH
The mirror keeps secrets. Once you moved away from it, your image is gone with you. It will not display your image to the next person that comes along. No matter how much time you spent in front of it, and how many secrets you told it. It shall bury your secrets in itself, and never tell others.
FiFtH
Along with your faults, the mirror shows you, your beauty and perfection. Thus it is fair and encouraging. When you smile at it, it tells you what a healthy habit you have.
May Allah SWT give us the wisdom to be a mirror to our brothers and our sisters.
And may Allah SWT surround us with those who want to be mirrors.
Aamen….
