Yes the way to a man’s heart may be through his stomach but the way to his love is through communication…Don’t tell him there’s a problem if you don’t want him to fix it. That’s the fastest way to piss him off. Because when you actually get into a fight and say “I didn’t tell you because I thought (insert reason here)” he will probably tell you something along the lines of “Well you thought wrong.”

{وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا} {الحجرات: ١٣} “O Mankind, We have made you into nations and tribes, that you shall know each other.” (Al-Hujrat 49:13) -The greatest evil a human can do, is to see a fellow human and not find common ground. The verse specifically says “know”, not necessarily “agree with”, but just the simple act of knowing and understanding. When you succeed in understanding that maybe the person you think is immoral, or you detest their lifestyle, is going through similar struggles in life, perhaps through more struggles than yourself, and that they are just as human as you are, you will not have the capacity to hate. You do not get to decide who is the better human, you do not get to dehumanise anyone. Everybody is just as lost as you are, everyone’s imperfect and trying to make it, much as yourself. If we could employ the fact that we have more similarities with the 7 billion people in the world than differences, then I don’t see the point in any wars or violence or hatred.
