Faraz Rabbani – Weekly Q&A How Do I Advise People in Islamic Stores

			There's a question that I work in an
		

			Islamic shop and sometimes
		

			customers speak bad about particular
		

			categories of people. Is it obligatory
		

			for me to correct them?
		

			And what do I
		

			say?
		

			One should know
		

			2 things. 1 should know the fiqh of
		

			commanding the good and forbidding the wrong. And
		

			secondly
		

			the guidance related to being a person of
		

			sincere counsel, of naseeha. And if you do
		

			that,
		

			then you know how to act because you
		

			only, it is obligatory to command the good
		

			and forbid the wrong, when it's an obligatory
		

			matter. And number 2,
		

			number 2,
		

			you are hopeful that it will be of
		

			benefit.
		

			You're hopeful that it will be of benefit.
		

			And
		

			sincere counsel as well is recommended,
		

			and has recommended,
		

			when all things considered, it's likely to be
		

			of benefit.
		

			Otherwise, we make good character
		

			our
		

			argument,
		

			right? And people who don't know, we
		

			help them to know by good conduct with
		

			them, by patience, and by gradually steering them
		

			towards what benefits them.
		

			The Prophet SAWH never argued with anyone, he
		

			presented clearly and convincingly and then let people
		

			decide. If you consider some of the leading
		

			Sahaba,
		

			their own parents, their own siblings only
		

			entered Islam after the opening of Mecca. Abu
		

			Bakr radiAllahu anhu his father only became Muslim
		

			after the fath of Mecca.
