Let us ask ourselves, how profound is our iman to Allah s.w.t.? Are we among those who have true faith in Allah s.w.t.?

...

When we see something wrong (mungkar), we should try to advice those involved. Imagine if we take the approach of “that is not my problem”, then what will happen to the community as a whole, because no one is interested to advice those who do wrong.

In a hadith narrated by Imam -Tirmizhi, the Prophet s.a.w said,

”By He whom my life is in His hands, you shall call others to do good, and stop them from doing wrong. Or (if you do not do so) Allah s.w.t will bring to you a punishment and then you ask for His help and your prayers will not be answered.”



My dear brothers,

This hadith of the Prophet s.a.w. means that the whole community should develop together to become one which is prosperous and successful. To become a community in which good acts thrive, and bad acts diminish and disappear totally. So let us continue to advice one another. Surely, we will like to see our Muslim brother or sister do good, and we will not be pleased to see our brother or sister do wrong.

As usual, thx Sis Mahirah for sharing it!

To share more...

English (Yusuf Ali):
7:164 When some of them said: "Why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?"- said the preachers:" To discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance they may fear Him."

Taken from Islamicity.

From that ayat, we are told that even if we are so sure that those whom we 'preach' to would never change and would continue their misdeeds until they are destroyed or they receive a terrible punishment, we still must carry out amar ma'ruf nahi mungkar because it is our DUTY. We will not be punished if the person refuse to stop doing mungkar, instead we may be punished for not carrying out the act of amar ma'ruf nahi mungkar itself. In other words, it is not like, "if that person do bad deeds, that person will pay for it ah, why should I be involved?? nothing will happen to me what." That's wrong. You are really saving YOURSELF when you do amar ma'ruf nahi mungkar.

This is a reminder to my own self before it is one for you.

I agree, it is quite hard to bring yourself to point out to a close friend or to your brother or sister or even parents that this so and so that you did is not right bla bla bla. It takes alot of courage yes! Myself have yet to find that courage. I guess, take it step by step. Though I seem not to have taken the next step after the first at all, opps~ But ya lar, we gotta remind ourselves, we have ourselves to save here, and we should fear Allah's wrath.
