Fatima saw her sister's children
wandering from the direction of Allaah. She turned out to be extremely
concerned.
All things considered, those children
resembled her own. She adored them beyond all doubt and needed to save them
from any transgression they may fall into. Realizing that she won't have a lot
of authority over the messes with themselves, she chose to converse with her
sister straightforwardly and educate her genuinely for the purpose regarding
Allaah about what she saw the children doing.
However, rather than liking Fatima's
truthfulness and understanding the nurturing concern she had for her children,
her sister detonated. "Stay out of other people's affairs!" she said.
"This steers clear of you! Quit discussing my children! Take a gander at
your own and what they are doing!" she yelled.
"Be that as it may, .however…
." Fatima attempted to clarify.
"In any case, what? I'm weary of
you singling out my children! Furthermore, on the off chance that we are so
'awful' in your eyes, let us be! From this day on, I would prefer not to have
anything to do with you! "
Fatima cried.
Tragic and hurt, she pulled out…
..destroys feigning exacerbation. She wasn't 'singling out' her sister or her
children nor was she 'judging' them. All she needed to do was to keep them from
submitting haraam and keep them from falling into wrongdoing.
Where did she turn out badly? she
pondered internally as she cleaned her tears. She investigated her own activity
cautiously. Did she cross the cutoff points set by Allaah while exhorting her
sister? She had followed the decorums characterized by the Sharee'ah when
urging great and restricting wickedness.
She has consistently been true and
wanting to her sister and her children. She had prompted her sister in a sort
and delicate way. She wasn't ever brutal with her. She attempted to utilize
hikmah and insight. She addressed her sister in private so she doesn't feel
outraged or offended.
Also, whatever she prompted her
sister, she had consistently attempted to execute that for herself and her
family too. It's anything but like she is encouraging something to her sister
and not rehearsing it herself. Why did her sister respond thusly? she pondered.
What drove her sister so crazy and cautious?
Isn't it an obligation of each Muslim
to oppose an insidiousness, on the off chance that he sees one? Isn't it a
request for Allaah?
"Let there emerge out of you a
gathering of individuals welcoming to all that is acceptable, ordering
Al-Ma'roof (for example Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do)
and restricting Al-Munkar (polytheism and mistrust and all that Islam has illegal).
Also, it is they who are the fruitful" [Surah Aal 'Imraan:104]
Did my sister fail to remember that
charging what is acceptable and prohibiting what is detestable would one say
one is of the best standards of Islam? Indeed, a few researchers view it as one
of the mainstays of Islam.
Furthermore, didn't the Prophet (Sal
Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) say,"
"Whoever among you sees an
underhanded activity, then, at that point let him change it with his hand [by
taking action]; assuming he can't, with his tongue [by talking out]; and in the
event that he can't, with his heart – and that is the most fragile of
confidence." (Muslim)
"Also, particularly in the event
that it is my own sister's children?" Fatima said to herself, exasperated.
How is it possible that she would see her own friends and family foul up and
remain silent?!!
What's more, what might be said about
what Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz said:
"The accepting people order what
is acceptable and disallow what is underhanded, and the devotee doesn't stay
silent. In the event that he sees his sibling submitting a malevolent, he
reproves him. Likewise, in the event that he sees his sister, fatherly auntie,
maternal auntie or any other person submitting a malicious activity, he advises
them not. In the event that he sees his sibling in confidence or his sister in
confidence missing the mark in some obligation, he condemns him for that, and
orders him to do what is acceptable. The entirety of that will be finished with
graciousness and intelligence, and great habits.
On the off chance that the adherent
sees one of his siblings in confidence being languid in supplicating, or
participating in conniving or tattle, or smoking or drinking, or defying either
of his folks, or cutting off the ties of connection, he censures him in kind
words and with great habits, not with disdainful words and brutality, and he
discloses to him that it's anything but passable for him to do this thing.
These shades of malice should be
reproved by each accepting man and lady and each honest individual, by married
couples, siblings, family members, neighbors, companions and others. They
should all do that, as Allaah says, portraying the accepting people:
"They charge (on individuals) Al
Ma'roof (for example Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do),
and preclude (individuals) from Al Munkar (for example polytheism and mistrust,
everything being equal, and all that Islam has taboo)" [al-Tawbah
9:71]"
(End quote)
All Fatima needed was to show her
sister and her children something great. What's more, isn't that something that
Allaah is satisfied with?
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa
Sallam) said:
"Allaah, His holy messengers,
and the occupants of paradise and earth, even the insect in its opening and
surprisingly the fish, send favors (petition God for great) upon the person who
shows individuals great." (al-Tirmidhi–saheeh by al-Albaani)
Indeed, if individuals quit saying
anything when they see a shrewd, it very well may be a reason for discipline for
them.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa
Sallam) said:
'On the off chance that individuals
see a wrongdoer and don't take him by the hand [to shut down his evil], soon
Allaah will rebuff every one of them." (Tirmidhi-saheeh by al-Albaani)
What's more, Allaah cautions:
"What's more, dread the Fitnah
(burden and preliminary) which influences not specifically (just) those of you
who foul up" [Surah al-Anfaal:25]
Dear siblings and sisters, in this
day of boundless fiendishness and defilement, we as Muslims, have neglected or
ignored one of the greatest and most significant commitments on all of us.
Also, that is to charge acceptable and disallow evil.
Furthermore, in the event that you
educate somebody regarding the detestable that their youngster, sibling,
companion or adored one is doing, it's anything but "telling" on them
or grumbling against them, or 'singling out' them, or making a decision about
them. It is the request for Allaah to keep your Muslim sibling or sister from
submitting evil. It isn't anything to get guarded about or harmed. Indeed, it
is something that shows the truthfulness and worry of the prompting individual
for the one he is exhorting, and this is the actual substance of Islaam.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa
Sallam) said:
"Religion is truthfulness."
We said, "To whom?" He said, "To Allaah and His Book, and His
Messenger, and to the heads of the Muslims and their normal society."
(Muslim).
Urging what is acceptable and
disallowing what is insidious is one of the fundamental standards of this
religion of our own, and doing this is jihaad for Allaah.
Al-Nawawi said:
"… ..this (halting malevolence)
is compulsory as indicated by the agreement of the Ummah, and there is
overpowering proof from the Qur'aan and Sunnah and insightful agreement that it
is required to order what is acceptable and deny what is shrewd, and it
additionally goes under the heading of naseehah (truthfulness or earnest
guidance) which is Islam." (Sharh Saheeh Muslim)
Al-'Allaamah al-Quraafi said:
"The researchers said that urging what is acceptable and prohibiting what
is insidious is mandatory and ought to be done promptly, as indicated by
agreement, and whoever can charge what is acceptable ought to do so right
away." (al-Furooq)
In this way, I say to Fatima and
others like her, don't surrender or feel tragic. You didn't do anything
incorrectly. You complied with Allaah's orders and satisfied one of His
essential charges. Regardless of whether your sister didn't comprehend, and she
hurt you with her words, disclose to her mercifully the explanation for your
encourage to her and in the event that she actually doesn't see the value in
what you left, the matter in Allaah's Hands. Definitely He understands what
lies in everybody's heart and He knows the goals behind each activity.
Furthermore, rest your throbbing heart with the expressions of Allaah:
"Verily, Allaah will help the
individuals who help His (Cause). Genuinely, Allaah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
(Surah Hajj:40)
