i think we need to find a medium when responding to their remarks, on one hand in certain situations it is best to remian quiet, and believ that pisses them off since tehy wanted u 2 react but u didn;t
However sum just dnt give up and keep making comments so then u need to make a subtle yet effective enuff comment to put them in their place
I dunno tho' more often than not its these jelaous relatives and friends that get want they want at the end, a shame, but that's life -UNFAIR :( :(
Tweety pie, dont worry. i totally believe what goes around comes around. If some evil auntie talks bogus, eventually their gonna be the ones talked about, maybe worst. At least in my case, this anti had a slap in the face, all on her own. maybe punishment from Allah...i can't say. Do pray that Allah guides them to the right path
Without doubt :k:
Sometimes we forget that people of Makkah kicked Prophet (S.A.W) out of his own home for many years. But He (S.A.W) did not say that ‘I will not pray for guidance for you’…Infact when He did return to Makkah, it was in handsome manner. We should always pray to Allah to guide these kind of people (the ones mentioned in this thread) as well as ourselves. You never know when Allah might guide a person in such a way that he/she will perhaps turn out to be a sincere muslim. I have seen it happen. Wouldn’t we like that Allah forgives us?
my mum is pretty blunt with ppl:snooty:, esp rude relatives and I guess me and my sister take after her except we go one further:biggthumb. several times she tells us to be quiet! :olol! guess we go too far:smack:
But we never talk back to elders otherwise mum would halal us!
even though several of them deserve it:ASA:
^ so apt a description fo some who i referred to in the thread's initial narrative.
some people and some relatives, are inferiority complex struck, and there is a class difference, not in money, i would never and never think of money to be the differential factor, but what i mean by class difference is that of THINKING and REASONING, and FEELING.
some people, and families, simply lack a sense of fairness due to scarcity of education or set ways of approaching issues in a eally narrow minded way and sadly such people suffer more than those who they shock with their narrow minded ness or try to even hurt.
yet, if you are a teen ager or young adult, please know that what hum hein lajawab said, is true.
so why base your own mannerisms due to someone else's bad manners?
