Is it forbidden or wrong to remind people of Quranic verses and use them as examples to correct wrong behaviors, such as raising one's voice or speaking falsehood, and should linking Quranic verses to daily events be avoided under the pretext that they are specific to certain situations?

It is not permissible to use the Quran instead of ordinary speech, such as saying, "Then you came, O Moses, at the appointed time," upon seeing someone, because this is using it out of its proper context. As for using it for inference and as evidence for a legal ruling, it is permissible, provided one knows the meaning of the verse and its point of indication; otherwise, it is not permissible to use it as evidence.
