Case: Someone is visibly righteous, and observers wish to pronounce their final destiny with certainty on the basis of that present appearance.
Outward profession and behavior have their appropriate rulings, but complete knowledge of the heart and final outcome belongs to Allah. Believers therefore retain hope for others and concern for their own moral condition.
Supplication for a good end, repentance, obedience and restraint in judging other people are mutually reinforcing duties in this case.
