Salam Sister,

I read Shaikh Salih Al-Munajjid's Book called Correcting people's mistakes. it is an excellent book and teachies the different methodology of correcting peopole's mistakes.

Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an you are the best people chosen for mankind because you enjoin good and forbid the evil and you believe in Allah.

and other verse like it in the Qur'an and Hadeeth.

My question if i see a brother doing something wrong and i tell him sincerrely. Then why do they attack me like "what about your selve you are not an angel or they may ask me a question on the topic of Islam any question if i don't know they say youu don't know about Islam and you are telling other people"

Sister i am learning my Islam.

Even practicing brothers i give them advice or i try my best to correct their mistakes but they slap it back of my face. What should i do?

I was listening to Abu Usama Dhabi cassette that he did and he says the same thing that when i brother gives another brotehr advice he should accept it because this is a charrector of a believer.

Salam Ibrar

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Yes we should correct our brothers and sisters in islam when we see them doing something wrong:

The Prophet(saw) said when you see something wrong you should try to correct it with your hand, if not that then with your tongue and if not that then in your heart.. [Bukhari and Muslim]

However, just as it is part of human nature to commit sin it is also part of human nature to not like to be corrected. So there is nothing you can do about this.

If the person being corrected had a good heart he would accept your advice without debate..but if his heart is not good then he will become defensive and debate.

Once you tell a person that what they are doing is wrong then you have thus done your job. If they persist in the sin then that is between them and Allah.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
