Trying to join family ties

· 15 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have a severe problem. Me and my brother have not been talking to each other for many years. But since I got to know that it is such a great sin, I want to turn back. I have asked forgiveness from him several times. I even tried starting the conversation but he never talks to me and he will never talk. I am stuck. What should I do? He is really determined not to talk to me. How can I seek Allah 's forgiveness?

Answer

Ask someone who is close to him to speak to him preferably a pious understanding person or an Aalim and explain to him the importance of maintaining family ties.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
