Do you know of a very dangerous disease?
Negligence is a disease. Even when it is a disease, if it is not prevented, it is a plague that multiplies and quickly engulfs many people. I want to compare it to the AIDS virus. Because, like the plague of this century, negligence cannot cause any harm on its own, but rather leads to the erosion of qualities such as solidarity and solidarity, and the spread and widespread spread of various material and moral crimes.
Allah Almighty commands: “(O believers), if two groups of believers fight, make peace between them!” (Al-Hujurat, 9). And when we come across people fighting in the markets or in public places, let’s admit it, we want to watch in horror. We don’t even think about trying to reconcile them. Instead, we immediately take out our phones and record videos and photos. Some people start “live reporting” – where they broadcast the incident on social media without any interruption. However, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) warned: "If you see someone doing something wrong, stop it with your hand, and if you are not able to do so, then with your tongue. If you are not able to do so, then at least be displeased with it in your heart, for that is the weakest of faith." (Narrated by Imam Bukhari)
So, in our religion, ignoring wrongdoings is strictly prohibited, and it is encouraged to correct them as much as possible. Are we following this?
Just one example - when we see children insulting each other with vulgar words on the street, we silently pass by, thinking, "What's the matter with me, I'm not a child, I'm not a child." This is a mistake! Because if he is not yours, then he is the darling of your neighbor, your neighbor, or, let's say, a Muslim brother. Maybe if you give him a persuasive advice, explain to him with sweet language that what he is doing is wrong, maybe he will never take this insult again. After all, doesn't the reform of society begin with the correction of the people in it?
All of this applies to those who do not have any problems in their families on this issue. Otherwise, I think there is no need to remind them that reform begins with the family.
