مَوْعِظَة
This verse teaches us how to respond to those who turn away.
فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَعِظۡهُمۡ وَقُل لَّهُمۡ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ قَوۡلَۢا بَلِيغٗا
So turn away from them but admonish them and speak to them a far-reaching word.
Quran, An-Nisa 4:63
Allah knows what is in the hearts. He asks the Prophet not to dwell on the attitude of these people, but to admonish them with words that deeply affect them. The goal is not to condemn, but to awaken consciences. In our lives, we meet indifferent or hostile people. Instead of resenting them, we can choose just and kind words, said at the right moment, to invite them to good.
Today, address a sincere and encouraging word to someone you are at odds with.
