Quote:well the problem with taking this approach with this particular person.. is that this person is one who knows in depth, the dangers of this... he also knows what he is doing is wrong..... So i know for sure that no matter what i say to him, he already knows...
In fact.. in the past he has admonished those about this same act....
the thing is now, that he is being tested by allah with some really streneous issues and this is the avenue that he is taking.
but i know for a fact that he knows that what he is doing is absolutely wrong...
As-salaamu 3alaykum
Well in that case what's his opinion about this;
<b>Sahih Muslim</b>: Book 033, Number 6390:
Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) who is the most truthful (of the human beings) and his being truthful (is a fact) said: <b>Verily your creation is on this wise. The constituents of one of you are collected for forty days in his mother's womb in the form of blood, after which it becomes a clot of blood in another period of forty days. Then it becomes a lump of flesh and forty days later Allah sends His angel to it with instructions concerning four things, so the angel writes down his livelihood, his death, his deeds, his fortune and misfortune. By Him, besides Whom there is no god, that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit, when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell and thus enters Hell,
and another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell, until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him and then he begins to act like the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.</b>
