قال شيخُ الإسلام ابن تيمية: «فالرادُّ على أهل البدع مجاهدٌ، والمجاهدُ قد يكون عدلاً في سياسته، وقد لا يكون.وقد يكون فيه فُجُورٌ ..
"The one who refutes the heretics is a Mujahid; and a Mujahid may be politically just or otherwise. He may even perpetrate shameful deeds"
I find this statement very profound and so applicable to us. A Mujahid is still a human being and he may err in his judgement, and he may even commit major sins or even shameful deeds. But just because he commits shameful deeds, it doesn't mean he is no longer a Mujahid. Likewise, just because someone is a Mujahid, it doesn't mean he cannot commit shameful deeds.
And the same goes for all of us who may have praiseworthy characteristics and blameworthy ones. A person with an acute sense of justice should remember not to let someone's faults overshadow his good, and vice versa.
