both good and bad people live in the world…I dont know what the ratio of good:bad people is…but lets assume its 50/50.
we have all met bad people in our life…be it people who are rude…disrespectful…evil…murderers…thiefs…drug dealers…etc.etc.
My question is…what is one supposed to do if someone in their own family happens to be a horrible/evil person? lets say its in the immediate family?..I know we always say that we should respect our parents…and have good relations with our brothers/sisters/kids…but what if we have bad people in our own family…in that case what should the person do? should the person still respect them in the same way…and live with them…and never talk bad about them to people outside the family etc?
what if its someones own parents who happens to be bad (its very likely considering the amount of evil people in the world)…what is the child supposed to do? live with them? respect them? do things for them like a good kid should…take thier insults/evilness?
is it bad to tell others about bad people in our families…or should we keep quiet about it and pretend everyone is good? lets say we know someone is very evil…but other people dont know this…should we tell these other people about how this person really is?
i know a person who is stuck in such a relationship..its quite sad and unfortunate.
There is alot u can do to protect yourself though, u need to be tough and be willing to take a stand. there comes a time in ones life where they have to take a move for their own betterment. Its hard if tht person is one of ur sibling/ parent/cousin/aunt but its doable, just protect urself-avoid tht person as much as u can. do not let tht person get to you and ruin you or the person u r talking about.
You should always be nice to your parents no matter what. You may not agree with the decisions that they make but it doesn't hurt to be nice. I know it's easier said than done because your kindness interferes once you can't forget the fact that this person is evil but regardless of that, your parents have certain rights over you because they have brought you to this world so you have certain responsibilities over them. Hope that helps.
Why would you want to broadcast the bad side of your family? Even if it was not your family, as a Muslim, you should always try to cover others' faults/bad deeds, as in return, Allah will cover your bad deeds/shortcomings/imperfections.
You may want to talk to that person about it, and try to change them in a good way. But if you think it might humiliate the other person (granted that the other person has decided never to do it again), then just forget it and move on and let the other person move on as well. It really depends on what it is.
