๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Three instances when it's better to enjoin what's right,
When it's wiser to not keep certain info inside,
And when speaking out brings you closer to Paradise:
When the one you advise is your relative or child,
When untold truth can harm, and informing is required.
~•~
Trying to mind your business is a move that's unwise
If someone making mistakes is a loved one or child,
If your silence leads to their loss in this worldly life
While they could've listened if you enjoined what is right,
And if pride makes you fear people more than Allah's Might.
~•~
When is it sensible to hate a sin from inside,
And fleeing is safer than inviting needless fights,
While still hating inwardly all that Allah dislikes?
When correcting someone is more harmful than worthwhile,
And they're too proud to listen despite frequent advice.
~•~
No use in pushing a donkey if numerous times
You've asked it to move but it refuses to give rides.
Know that Allah is the One Who inspires, helps, and guides.
If Allah decrees and decides that some souls don't thrive
In terms of faith, they can't change, even if you remind.
~•~
Inspire Muslims to do good, and warn against vice / crimes,
If those whom you're advising can wisely recognize
The need for Taqwa and the real purpose of our lives,
And attempting to correct errors doesn't incite
Avoidable fitna which could complicate one's life.

๐ Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever among you sees evil, let him change it with his hand (by stopping it physically). If he is unable to do so, then with his tongue (verbally, by warning or speaking against that wrongdoing). If he is unable to do so, then with his heart (by at least hating the sin instead of admiring the wrongdoers), and that is the weakest level of faith."

One who recognizes their evil and hates it will maintain his innocence; but one who is pleased with it and follows them (in committing the wrongdoing) will be sinful."
