How can I advise my friend, a memorizer of the Quran, whose actions sometimes do not align with what is expected of a memorizer of the Quran, without hurting her feelings?

The answer

The memorizer of the Qur'an is the most deserving of adhering to Allah's commands and abstaining from His prohibitions, so that the Qur'an may be a proof for him on the Day of Resurrection; otherwise, it will be a proof against him and a cause of his ruin. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The Qur'an is either a proof for you or against you." It is narrated that on the Day of Resurrection, the Qur'an will appear as an adversary to those who disobeyed its commands and as an intercessor for those who acted according to its limits. Honoring the memorizers of the Qur'an is good, but it does not mean overlooking their mistakes. Rather, they should be advised gently and wisely in private, and one should seek help from righteous female friends.
