Note: Importance Of Enjoining Good Deeds And Modesty

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
πŸ’Œ If you're strolling around a mall, airport or any public place as a Muslimah and then saw a hijabi sister in Islam with an embarrassing bloodstain behind her light-colored garment, what would you do? Would you continue walking as if you didn't notice her though you're aware she'll probably be shocked when she discovers it herself, or will you considerately approach her, inform her about the stain, and possibly give her your jacket or extra shawl to have it covered? 
It's sad how some women are so deluded by the applause they receive from displaying their beauty on shameless pageant shows, cringeworthy TikTok videos and self-glorifying selfies that when you try to advise them to fear Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and actually perform their duty to value modesty, they idiotically assume you're "just jealous". What is there to be envious about when they're the ones making fools of themselves, flaunting their bodies freely as though they are cheap low-class commodities. Only an irrational and morally uneducated person would find immodestly clad models acting like peacocks "admirable".
Part of being Muslim is to responsibly enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. You're not required to own a master's degree in Islamic studies nor achieve unattainable 100% perfection to remind other Muslims about their responsibilities, when you have sufficient knowledge of Islam granted by Allah the Almighty as a trust and the capability to communicate.
It is common sense that when you love somebody for Allah's sake, you want to ensure they don't sabotage themselves in any way. Pridefully insisting on redoing one's mistakes, embracing ignorance, and obstinately committing sins that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala forbade are some examples of harming oneself, since wrongdoings eventually lead to ruin and remorse in both worlds.
You ought to feel grateful and fortunate, not insulted, whenever someone corrects your errors or gives frank advice. A number of Muslims making effort to admonish and warn you to have Taqwa could signify you're among those whom Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala chooses to guide.

If he is unable to do so, then with his tongue (by warning or speaking against that wrongdoing). If he is unable to do so, then with his heart (by hating the sin), and that is the weakest level of faith."

The worst of your women unveil their beauty, take pride in their appearance, and they are hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow."
