THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADVISING AND SHAMING BY AL-HAFIZ IBN RAJAH AL-HANBALI
About the Book
In this short work, the author discusses some of the manners and etiquettes of differing amongst People of Sunnah, explaining the difference between advising and shaming. These two matters are often confused for one another. Hence the author goes into depth explaining the characteristics of sincere advice and censure; This work also lays down some guiding principles for the People of Sunnah in their criticisms and refutations. It should be noted, as the author states, that his only applies to the People of Sunnah, and as for the innovators and people of desires are concerned, then these guiding principles do not apply to them.
From the Book
Advice is to endorse good deeds and prevent wrongdoings in the light of Islamic Law; without exaggeration or indulgence through following the legislated methods in accordance with what the situation enforces and requires and taking into consideration the following fac tors;
- The condition of the one being advised.
- The strength of relation between he who advises and the one who is being advised.
- Is the wickedness committed in public or in secret?
- Does the evil of the wrongdoing extend to others or does it only affect the wrongdoer only?
Giving advice to someone necessitates mentioning the faults of the one being advised. Similarly, shaming a person or intending to defame him includes mentioning this person’s faults and deficiency. The former is lawful while the latter is prohibited.
However, in some cas.es and certain circumstances calling a person an innovator or a sinner is acceptable given that certain conditions are met.
Thus, it is vital to take into consideration the circumstances of the incident, and the condition of the advised so that the advice given does not transform into shaming or belittling.
Many people may confuse advising with shaming and belittling due to their own lack of direction which they can follow in the light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
For this reason, it is often that we find people who intend to advise but their advice turns into taunting and belittling, also many people sometimes wrongfully deem advising as shaming or belittling, and many people intend to advise but, due to their lack of knowledge of the rightful ways of advising,
they end up shaming others instead of advising them and still some others may take the advice given to them as an attempt at belittling or shaming them on behalf of the advisor.
