Bismillah
as salam alykom
I remember very well making this post 3 days ago, strange it is not there.
Anyway, what is more important Hadji is that non muslims do apply this ayah very carefully. As I work as a translator/interpreter, I had a chance to work closely with 3 media professionals in delivering training to different levels of Egyptian media professionals. You know how did the trainers approach the pariticipants? not once they made them feel they are being trained, all respect and appreciation was shown to them throughout the process. That is why participants were really closely attached to those trainers, leave alone the amount of benefit and knowledge they admitted of having. Mind you those trainers were all prominent figures (award winners in different media outlets including a documentary film director, radio station owner and an editor with a well know US newspaper).
In case they acted otherwise, the participants would surely have lost their interest in even listening regardless of the expected outcome and benefit.
Why cannt we muslims apply this and maintain respect with each other and with others?
And Allah Say:
And by the Mercy of Allâh, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you Quran 3:`159
;what is best to conclude with?
