Ghous e Pak aur Islah e Ummat

Book Name:Ghous e Pak aur Islah e Ummat

lack of effort in explaining, inviting them to Righteousness, or facilitating their reformation.

Many people find it difficult to approach someone one-on-one; there is often more hesitation in this than in delivering speech or Dars. However, the need for individual reformation is even greater than for collective invitations to Righteousness. It carries more importance and offers greater benefits. Always remember this important Islamic ruling! If we see someone committing a sinful act, and we are confident that by advising them, they will understand and correct themselves, then in such a situation, it becomes Wajib (obligatory) for us to guide them.[1]

Therefore, make it a habit to reform people individually! * If you see someone making a mistake in prayer*  or in performing wudu * or you visit someone's shop and they are playing songs*  or you witness someone backbiting, taletelling, or using foul language, and you believe that if you guide them, they will understand, then * based on the situation * with wisdom and strategy * and with love and compassion, you should never be lazy in seizing the opportunity to guide them and earn the reward of inviting them to righteousness.

The Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, said: 'By Allah! If Allah grants guidance to even one person through you, it is better for you than red camels.'[2]It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b al-Ahbar رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ: Jannat-ul-Firdous is specifically for the person who invites towards righteousness and forbids evil.[3]

May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to abundantly spread the call to righteousness. Believe me! If we adopt this approach of understanding
