    No, such thoughts are natural and do not fall under this directive.

    The implication of this directive is that it is not right for a Muslim to make bad estimations about other Muslims, or make allegations against others or take some action against others without proper knowledge of what the matter is or spread rumours merely on the basis of speculation or form a view about God’s being and attributes and His directives merely on the basis of conjecture and guesswork and unending analogies.

      Just using “I think” at the start of the conversation is not the deciding factor in this regard, rather it is what comes after which decides the nature of that sentence. Mere thinking is not speculation, speculating about God or others in ways which affect their rights would be something which Muslims have been asked to not engage in. For example, I told Person B that Person A uses drugs because person C told me so or I myself assume this about person A or in addition, I start spreading this rumour on my own about person A, concluding merely on the basis of the fact that Person A was acting a bit weird for instance etc. etc.
