Fixing da foundation
Assalamualaikum - I hope this post greets everyone in the best of health and imaan.
There has been a incident which has been bugging me for a while...
I was at the bus stop a couple of weeks back and there was this couple fighting...well it was more like.. the guy was um... "man-handling" the poor thing and she was all like
"help!,help!, get away from me, i dont love you anymore" ..lol...
and first they were at a distance then they came closer to the bus stop... where there was at least 20 people so.. they were bickering and arguing and this girl was trying to wriggle free... and it just didnt seem RIGHT you know... everyone watched on.. while this girl was truly being abused... and I was shocked at how these other people could just stand and watch it happening like a meter away from them...
now im confused.. should I have stepped in and said something?
(I remembered the hadith that if you see something bad you should change it with your hand, if not your tongue, if not then feel bad about it) + aren't we muslims meant to stand up to injustice?
or should I have minded my own business and kept silent...which i did ...
and now nearly a month later I still feel like rubbish - so my question is.
If there is injustice occurring in front of you - do you:
a) mind your own business
b) or try to set it straight?
