The right way to advise

If you reflect on the life history of the Messenger of Allâh, you will find it full of noble qualities in concept and practice. This is why the civilization of his religion is the only civilization that brought happiness to the world. [Makkah (Rabî‘ul-awwal 8, 1424 (May 9, 2003)]

In Sûrah Balad, Allâh teaches us about the mountain pass that must be climbed in our lives. And this way of climbing that I've just described is very close to how Allâh wants us to overcome this mountain pass - hard and strong! But wait ... what mountain pass?

The Messenger of Allâh said, “Indeed, Allâh created mercy in one hundred parts. And He sent only one part to the earth by which the creatures show compassion to one another. It is out of this one part that you see a horse or a she-camel raises her hoof off her young one lest she crushes it. Allâh withholds the remaining ninety nine parts in order to shower it on His slaves on the Day of Resurrection.” (Al-Bukhârî)
