No, it does not mean that. It means that you should be the first to apply what you tell people, without this affecting your dawah, whether you do it or not.

M a 19 year old female stdent and lately I feel depressed and unmotivted 2 do anything. Evrytime I start to study I keep thinking tht this wn’t take me to Jannah, whts d point in it when all I have 2 do is take care of kids someday. At the same time I dn’t wnt 2 give it up I wnt to do things for myself, succeed in both deen n dunya. Is it worthless for me wanting an education? A waste of time?

Such negative thoughts are from satan and you must not listen to them. Try your level best to find a balance. Getting education that will be useful for you in this dunya and in the akhira is even encouraged in Islam.

The best thing to do, if you have the ability to do so, is to enroll in an Islamic program, Madinah University being the most well known. If this is not possible for you, you should learn from a person of knowledge who follows the way of the salaf and take from the Qur’an and […]

I work at an Islamic school in Malaysia. I spoke with the owner to explain that mixing between students is wrong. He agreed but said that there were not enough students to make segregation possible, and all the local Islamic schools are like this. He also said it would be illegal to impose the niqab on the females inside school. Are you able to suggest any solutions please Sheikh?

He should maybe join forces with other schools in order to make is fully segregated.

I went to Sears(a shop) to buy garments.I was unable to say to the salesman that it is haram to shave and to be a musbil,and that he should not do these 2 things.But I failed to tell him due to Shaitan’s silly distractions and perhaps because I left the shop 3 times due to dirty music playing there.Do I need to go to the shop again and tell him?or repentance is enough?

It is not feasible to advise everyone you meet and talk to as this would make you an unwanted person to be talked to. Dawah must be done with wisdom and diplomacy and to be done at the right time under the correct conditions. Otherwise, it would backfire and people might resent Islam because of […]

I frequently lose temper and misbehave (which I shouldn’t) because my family prefers customs of our forefathers over Islam. They remain in search of my mistakes to show me that I am in fact a hypocrite following the portion of deen which suits me. If I start living away from them for the sake of Islam, is it legitimate? Does kinship also implies that we should live together or in same city?

You must try your level best to control your temper and respect your family. However, you should explain to them in a respectful manner, that they must stop praticing these customs that go against Islam, for their own good towards Allah. Your behavior represents your level of your Iman! It is not an excuse that […]

I work at a mixed Islamic school in Malaysia where many haram things happen (kids prostrate on hands, women post photos). I want to enjoin good and forbid evil, but have been advised that the atmosphere is sensitive and the authorities may shut the school down as we are already in trouble and labelled as a ‘Wahabi school’. How should I deal with a situation like this please?

Don’t do anything in public and try to keep a low profile. Simply teach them Quran and sunnah.
