But Muzna what if your child asks are they doing wrong? I always tell my children that they do is their business , it is between them and ALLAH. what if child asks but mom they are doing wrong, should we stop them or enlighten them. Isn’t it our duty if someone is doing wrong we should tell them nicely. Or at least we should call bad thing , bad.

I was having this discussion with my sis on other day that if we see someone doing something wrong should we just move on or we should stop them or warn them. I thought we should just pray for them if we love them. But now a days it is hard to tell someone.

Just confused. For people who are not Muslims it’s easy to say that it is not our culture. But for Muslims who are doing wrong like gay Muslims it’s really hard. You look at ahadeeth you see " Iman ka karz or tareen DARPA burai ko burai Janos."

Well…you have to admit that they are doing wrong. You cannot stray from the rules that have been clearly outlined in the faith.

In order to determine whether or not to speak out, I guess you have to first define for the child whom you are able to “correct” and whom you should leave alone and simply pray for.

For example…if my child is doing something wrong then I have a certain degree of responsibility to correct her…if my niece is doing something wrong then I have a lesser degree of responsibility…if friend, even less, an acquaintance less again to the point that I have no obligation towards a stranger. If I should feel compassionate and fear for those that I have no obligation towards then I can pray for them to be shown the path and that’s it.

If you can relay the above message they should be able to find their way…
