ALLAMA SHABBIR AHMAD USMANI’S
ADVICE
Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani
Rehmatullah Elaih used to say that if right advice, is given in the right way,
with right intentions, it is always effective, and never leads to discord. So
he set three conditions; the advice should be right, the intention should be right,
and the manner in which it is delivered should be right. For example, if
someone is engaged in a sin, he should be counselled about the nature of that
mistake, but the intention should be that my brother gets out of this mistake,
it should not be to prove how righteous and better than others we are, and
shouldn’t be to humiliate others, and it should be done privately in a very
polite and gentle manner, the person shouldn’t be embarrassed in front of
others. If these three conditions are met, then generally such Tableegh
(preaching) will not lead to discord.
