Repel evil
with that which is good.
Responding to evil, by evil only increases evil. So, the Quran says, if there is evil, repel it by good
and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave the best example as to how to do this give you a quick a quick
example they said that one time the Prophet peace be upon him was the graveyard and they were
digging a grave for one of his companions who passed away and as they're digging the grave and making the grave somebody from the Jewish community walks in, and he starts yelling at the Prophet peace be upon him.

of what's going on. And the people wanted to beat up on him. So the Prophet peace upon him said no, the man has rights and he's asking for what is his and he tells me we're gonna hop up to go and give him whatever it is that is due to Him. And as they're walking or Murata say really wanted to beat up on the man.

there, but there was one that I wanted to personally test myself. All Jah Fie, oh Safi and who couldn't lemmas da da li je le jehlen Is that Helmond sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said that the more
