Are you sure the person you're about to help is someone Allah actually wants you to help? We're taught that saying yes to anyone who asks is always the righteous thing to do — but the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ tell us something different: not everyone who reaches out for your help deserves it, and giving to the wrong person can be a harm to both of you.
In this reminder, we walk through 7 types of people the Qur'an and Sunnah caution us to be wise with before giving our time, our money, or our du'a — through the story of Yusuf, a generous young man who learns these lessons the hard way:
1️⃣ The person who demands instead of asks 2️⃣ The person who lives from one crisis to the next 3️⃣ The person who takes but never gives thanks 4️⃣ The person who wears their suffering as their identity 5️⃣ The person who weaponizes your deen against you 6️⃣ The person who carries gossip to you and about you 7️⃣ The person who keeps choosing harm and refuses every word of counsel
This isn't about closing your heart — it's about opening your eyes. Your kindness isn't weakness. Your boundaries aren't selfishness. Your discernment isn't judgment — it's amanah, a trust Allah placed in your hands to steward well.
