One shaykh from Yemen remarked that there are people who treat paradise like their father’s shop. They can invite and disinvite to it anyone they wish. Similarly there are people who think they can declare who is Muslim and who isn’t, who is worthy of paradise and who isn’t.
If you advise people to refrain from certain actions which you yourself don’t refrain from , you benefit others while eventually burning yourself out. In this respect, you are like a candle which gives light to others but burns itself out.
