Gentleness and wisdom in commanding and forbidding
0:13
The objective of commanding and forbidding is as Allah Almighty stated:

“And when a community among them said: Why preach ye to a folk whom Allah is about to destroy or punish with an awful doom, they said: In order to be free from guilt before your Lord, and that haply they may ward off (evil).” (7:164)
0:21
And since guiding people and returning them to the truth are among the objectives of commanding and forbidding,
0:27
it is necessary to adopt the means that help them accept the truth,
0:31
such as gentleness, compassion, mercy, and tact towards them.
0:35

0:39
or to display dominance and contention.
