My question is about honor and religion. Honor depends on where you live. there is a tendency to put a greater attention on honor rather than to encourage religion. That question came me many times on how much value I should put into honor. I figured that my honor is the honor of bein a muslim and spreading Islam and I left it at that for awhile. Then something else came up which made me review my thoughts(I hope I am makin sense). Anyway what came up was family honor. Ex: Say somebody has an argument with a close family member, and a trustworthy man come and tells you that your close relatives are lying or are not doing to what they agreed on certain things, and your family member is saying one thing but this other guy says another eventhough you know the guy has some truth to his words. Do you just disagree with the guy the whole time so you could protect your family members honor or reputation or is there another way? This question came up when my father was doing business with a friend and this friend caused some problems that he was not willing to make a compromise. So my father went to his friends son and told him to straighten out his father for there is not a nice way to get out of this later on if he does not take the chance now. My fathers' friend told his son somethings that never happened and the son is refusing to admit eventhough we showed him some hardcore proof. I know i would probably have done the same as the son of my dads friend but i dont know if its the right thing to do. so what is?I hope it makes sense!!
