^ Thats not gonna work the mentality is decades old no one sentence and Islamic reminder is gonna change that. Seriously go ahead try it desi kuri, your mom will still support your brother. Thats how it is thats how your MOM was brought up she has this mentality all her life its hardwired in her brain... the best thing to do is just be calm.
Jo baat ghalat hai so ghalat hai. What is wrong is wrong. And as Muslims....when we see something wrong taking place.......we try our best to stop it with our hands. If we can't do that........then we complain to someone who has authority.......and if we can't even do that.........we can at least pray for what is good in our hearts.....and this is weakest level of faith. There were years of deep-rooted jahiliya mentality that had to be uprooted in order for the correct knowledge to be established. Just because someone persists in being a fool by following age-old bakwaas.........doesn't mean that you should ignore it. You try your best to guide someone.......even if it's your own parent.
I'm not saying that confronting your parents will ALWAYS work. But in my experience............sometimes...........it can help. Sometimes......a flicker of a light turns on in the other person's head........that might cause them to **at least **reflect over their behavior if not change it completely.
