Re: A GREAT Loss (Are you involved)
Sister we don't need to dis-respect or de-grade him, he is already doing it himself. We just need to tell people the difference between the good and bad without mentioning names. Let people themselves judge.
What we can do is to either tell "that" muslim ourselves that he is not doing something good, or if we can't do that, than we can at least pray to Allah to bless him and "that" girl towards the right path.
IF we would make fun of them, then Allah (swt) might punish us by replacing the situation of their heart with that of our hearts, that is blessing them with guidence and vice versa. Human being is too weak. Let us pray to Allah to bless us with the strength and wisdom to maintain "Imaan" and bless others to achieve it whoever lacks "Imaan"
I remember a hadith in which Allah blessed a prostitute with guidence when she did "tauba" and a great scholar was misguided because of his arrogance.
May Allah (swt) forgive us all and bless us towards the right path
I meant disapproving or warning people against their fitnah and bad actions by saying word dis.
My understanding is if some people are doing bad actions openly and they're not hiding them but are proud of it and they are influencing other people then its our responsibility to warn people against them and even if you have to mention names there's nothing wrong in it.
For example, Salman Rushdie, now we all know Ahmed Deedat a great dai' has refuted salman's arguments many times in his lectures and talks by mentioning his name many times.
Also talking about the celebes on open forums where anyone can come and read is not backbiting.
