But remember that sincere advice, when given with wisdom and kindness, is a gift.  \\n\\nIn your situation, your hesitation was understandable—the timing may not have been ideal since the bayān was happening. Choosing the right moment is important in ensuring that your advice is well-received.  \\n\\nTo overcome this anxiety, remind yourself that naṣīḥa is an act of sincerity towards your brother, not a confrontation. Approach it with humility, and frame your words in a way that shows care rather than criticism. If speaking directly feels too difficult, you can find subtle ways to advise—perhaps by sharing general reminders about prayer etiquette in a casual conversation or through a relevant ḥadīth.\\n\\nOver time, the more you give naṣīḥa with sincerity and wisdom, the easier it will become. And even if you feel nervous, trust that Allah rewards sincere intentions, regardless of the outcome.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c232826","tag":"Worship: Etiquettes","count":79},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327c8","tag":"Women: Other","count":52}],"createdOn":"2025-05-06T19:33:31.039Z"}
