A man once noticed that another man always missed washing his heals during wudhu. One day this man asked him if he could observe him performing wudhu and point out his errors or omissions. When he got to the final step of washing his feet he over emphasized the washing of his heel. When he finished performing wudhu he asked the man if he had committed any errors to which the man replied, “Your wudhu was perfect, it is actually my wudhu that needs improvement and that I must wash my heels”.
SubhanAllah.
What a wonderful way to correct someone. Not the, “OMG, you’re doing it wrong” or “COME ON, you didn’t know that?”.
There are etiquettes to everything especially when it comes to religion. So, when correcting someone don’t make them feel stupid or point them out in front of others. Your correction if done in the wrong way can even put someone off of doing something forever. This is especially horrible when it’s a good deed that you’re putting someone off of.
