You wake up your brother in the middle
of the night to speak to them about
smoking,
he would just bash you in the face,
slap you, and we'll go back to sleep
because this is not the right time.
And I always tell brother the sisters
choose the time. The timing, most of the
time, his won't. The brother is coming from
work, he's tired, he had a fight with
his boss,
you know.
And
he opens the door, he's tired, he's devastated.
Oh, we wanna talk about something now.
When he gave us Naseem. I didn't talk
all the time, but when it was the
right time, he spoke. Otherwise, he didn't say
anything.
So,
hey, when choosing the right time, the right
place, Don't talk to people in front of
other people, talk to them in private and
honor them.
And choosing the right approach,
we said before, when you speak positively about
people,
they will listen to you. If you offend
them, they will they will close, you know,
they will shut you off. They will not
listen to you.
They say you say something positive to people
correct them in a nice way. This is
like a doctor cooperating with a patient.
Before you got the patient open,
they usually give them anesthesia so they knock
them off, they don't feel it in there.
So before you correct someone
or criticize them, say something nice first
then you numb them, they don't feel it
in there. Now, inject
your Nasiyah.
You know what? Your hijab is not proper,
you are going to Jahannan.
You know, you don't pray properly, you are
going to Jahannan.
Your son drops a glass on the floor
of Jahannan.
What is this then? So
and he was fast asleep with the family.
All of a sudden, he heard some movement
in the living room. What's going on? For
half an hour, it was movement.
He didn't have anything precious in the house.
Absolutely, he didn't have any furniture.
No iPhone. No iPad. No. Nothing. Nothing in
the house. No fridge. No laptop. Nothing.
So after half an hour, he came out
just to apologize
to the thief
that, sorry, we don't have anything to steal
in the house. You know, this is what
the story said. He came out to apologize.
He said, Wohla, we don't have anything from
the dunya to offer you. But would you
like to take something from Allah? He said,
what what do you have? He
