Two Techniques to Address Harsh People

Bismillaah

As Salaamu 'alaykum and peace to all,

Two Techniques to Address Harsh People

My dearest brothers and sisters,



Yesterday, i was reading the Quran and 'bumped' into these two verses which i felt has so much relevance to the current world we live in. They were like techniques to address the harsh people around us.

Technique 1: To address with mild words of gentleness

He, the Al Mighty said,

And the slaves of the Most Beneficent (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness.
( سورة الفرقان , Al-Furqan, 25: 63)


Technique 2: To turn away from them and seek His Mercy

And if you turn away from them to seek mercy from your Lord, which you hope for, speak to them a gentle word (Surah Al-Israa 17 : 28)

Are we the slaves of the Most Beneficent who walked on earth with humility? Have we addressed the harsh people around us with mild words of gentleness?

Think about it.
