Tragedy: 14th of May 2011

Salam. On 14th of May 2011, I was planning to try to bake a cake, myself. So, I had looked up on the internet, to find a recipe. I had decided to try Lemon Cake, by Gia da, one of t he famous chef celebrities. I had printed the recipe. But, in this house... there were no much of th e ingredients needed.

Nevertheless, the acquaintance said to the author that if he was in the author's shoes, he would not dare enough to do so because of imperfection. In the author's point of view, lacking does not mean that we can't counsel others towards betterment and virtue. The author asked for opinions from three ustaz. The first opinion from Ustaz Supani, stated: "That wasn't right. We advice others when we see they wrong-do, while when they saw our wrongdoings, they will have to counsel us.

This hadith is general and it is not specified to those who are perfect only. If we saw wrongdoings, it will be a necessity to comment with hikmah." The third opini...
