The answer

Advice is one of the high stations of religion. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Religion is advice." Imam Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, explained advising the general Muslim public as guiding them to their interests in the Hereafter and in this world, preventing harm from them, teaching them their religion, assisting them with words and deeds, concealing their faults, warding off harm and bringing benefits to them, enjoining good and forbidding evil with gentleness and sincerity, having compassion for them, respecting their elders and showing mercy to their young, refraining from deceiving and envying them, and loving for them what one loves for oneself and disliking for them what one dislikes for oneself. Advising with the Qur'an and is among the greatest forms of advice. Therefore, what you are doing by advising through mentioning verses from the Holy Qur'an is good and beneficial. However, it is necessary to review the interpretation of the verses to ensure their suitability for the context of the admonition.
