How to Deal with a Brother who Ridicules You

Question :

I have an older brother who continually ridicules me. He says that I am a hypocrite; that if I were to be left alone, I would listen to music; and that after a while, I will stop practicing Islam. I always advise him, but he balks at my advice. How should I deal with him?

Answer:

It is necessary that you do not give up trying to advise A him, for many people are doing deeds that are not correct, then Allah Almighty guides them. Increase your advice, try giving some tapes and books that exhort good behavior to him, and may be, Allâh will guide him at your hands. The Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali bin Abu Talib,
"For Allah to guide one man through you is better for you than red camels."

Be patient, and remember Luqman's advice to his son:
"O my son! Perform the Salah, enjoin the good, and forbid evil, and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily these are some of the most important commandments."
