What is the way to solve the problem of bullying and criticism faced by someone who has repented from sins and transgressions and committed to religion, whether from their family or their colleagues at work, and is their commitment considered a crime in this era?
The repentant person is congratulated for returning to Allah, and he must persevere, be steadfast, and choose righteous companionship. Challenges after repentance should be addressed from two perspectives: as a guided penitent and as a caller to Allah. As a guided penitent, he must endure and be patient with the harm from mockers, though severity is permissible if the mockery targets religion. As a caller (da'i), he should be wise in his call, balancing gentleness and leniency with firmness as needed. Regarding family and colleagues, one must be patient with their harm and vary methods of advice gently, while striving for their guidance.
