​Hate the Sin Not the Sinner


Actions are speculative and equivocal matters, not definitive proofs. Therefore, we should not be excessive in praising those doing overtly righteous deeds, nor excessive in disparaging those doing overtly evil deeds. Rather, we should disparage and blame the sin and not the sinner.
—Imām al-Qurṭubī [d. 671H/1272CE]
