Being Indirect and Gentle with Family
When dealing with family members who may have strayed from the right path, it is often more effective to take an indirect and gentle approach. Constantly preaching and being overly forceful with religious guidance can make them resistant and annoyed. Instead, finding strategic moments and being subtle in reminders can be more beneficial. By avoiding constant preaching, you can prevent the family from associating you with being overbearing or strict. It is important to remember that you cannot change someone else, but you can remind them. Therefore, it is crucial to find gentle and indirect methods of guidance for family members.
Understanding the Cause of Sinful Behavior
When a family member is engaging in sinful behavior such as alcohol or drugs, it is important to understand the root cause behind it. Sinful acts often stem from underlying issues or problems in their lives, which are being exploited by Shaitan. Rather than focusing solely on their religious actions, it may be more helpful to address the problems they are facing and offer support and empathy. Talking down to them or being self-righteous can push them away and make them feel judged. By showing genuine interest in their lives and experiences, breaking the barriers with empathy and understanding, we can create a more conducive environment for guiding them towards positive change.
