Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him):”If you see that one of you has slipped, correct him, pray for him and do not help Shaytan against him (by insulting him, etc.).”[Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 15/256]
Cause everyone is going to slip, & have there ups and down in their Imaan. But at least they are trying to get back up on their feet and return back to the Deen. Its our job to help each other stay on the right path however, now a days if someone ends up slipping we begin to judge them and forget about them. It should not be like that, instead we should make Dua for one another and help them from not falling too far from the deen, we need to help each other strive for Jannah.!
So who is more unjust than one who fabricated a lie against Allah or denied His signs? Their written fate will reach them; until when Our sent angels come to remove their souls, hence they say to them, “Where are they whom you used to worship besides Allah?” They say, “We have lost them” and they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers. [Surah Aa`raf 7:37]
Or do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.
Surah Al-Mulk(17)
He created man from a clot.
Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
Who taught (to write) with the pen
Taught man what he knew not.
Nay! verily man is rebellious,
In that he lookes upon himself as self-sufficient.
Surely to your Lord is the return.
Have you seen him who forbids
A servant when he prays?
Have you considered if he were on the right way,
Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
Does he not know that Allah does see?
Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
A lying, sinful forehead.
Then let him summon his council,
We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
Nay, obey him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)!
“On the Day of Judgement Allah will give the shade of the Arsh (Throne), to seven, when there will be no shade but the shade of the Arsh….(the last type of person is) a person who praises (remembers) Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin.” [Ibn Majah]
Al-Hassan al-Basri was once asked, “Shouldn’t we be shy in front of Allah to ask Him to forgive a sin and then we do it again, then we again ask Him to forgive the sin and we do it again?” Al-Hassan answered, ”Satan wishes that he could gain that victory over you. Do not get bored with asking forgiveness.” [Jami al-uloom wal Hikam]
“No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah’s decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way but if it is yours by destiny, then it cannot flee from you” [Umar Ibn al-Khattab]
Sheikh Zahir Mahmood explains the danger of people that claim “Only i am on the haq”.
Unfortunately we see too many people especially at universities who think they are have a God given right to look down on other people because they claim to be on the HAQ [truth]. This is highly prevalent in Islamic societies. Alhumdulilah not all of them are like that off course.

The Angel of the Mountains said, “O Muhammad, order what you wish. If you like, I will let the mountains fall on them.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “No, I hope that Allah will bring from their descendants people who will worship Allah alone without associating partners with Him.”
Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing.
Surah An-Nisā’ (4:58)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) quoted God as saying: “My love is obliged to those who love each other for My sake, who sit with each other for My sake, who visit each other for My sake, and who give to each other generously for My sake.”
