"We judge according to the outward; and God is responsible for the inward."
Muhammad, Hadith
I found this particular saying of the Prophet buried in the commentary of the 18th surah, al-Kahf, always rendered as "The Cave." It's rather amazing that I haven't talked more about it since it's, arguably, my favorite surah, or at least the one I seem to reread and study the most. I like this particular hadith because I think it gets out the complexity of being a human. All we have is the external, even if we know in our heart of hearts that we should be focusing on the internal. Maybe in that way it's a lot easier for God, at least He/She/It/They knows the truth. We have to rely upon faith.
