Difference Between Advising And Shaming

In this notable work, the renowned author provides essential detail in discussing key
points dealing with differences that arise between the People of Sunnah, and the

explains the characteristics of sincere advice and censure with a depth of clarity that will
no doubt bring benefit to all, particularly those involved in active da'wah. Read More below.....In this notable work, the renowned author provides essential detail in discussing key

This work also lays down some guiding principles when preparing criticisms and
refutations. It makes clear that such ideal precepts apply to People of Sunnah; and as far
as the People of Innovation and desires are concerned, then these principles do not apply
to them. This is because the former group is recognised for following the truth, being
merciful to the creation and desiring for them guidance, reform and all kinds of
goodness. They never intend any harm, but rather make falsehood known by stemming
ignorance through reasoning and dialogue in clarifying the truth - they enjoin the good
and forbid the evil and strive in making the Word of allah uppermost.
