A man whose father is oppressive to his family and consumes the rights of people; what is the son’s approach toward this father regarding enjoining good and forbidding evil, knowing that he does not accept advice?

The questioner : He says: May the Shaykh be respected, I have a father who lived his entire life oppressing people and taking revenge by consuming their rights unjustly and falsely, to the extent that I, my entire family, and all his relatives were not safe from his evil and sinfulness. Going to court, making demands, and filing lawsuits were his habit and main occupation. I want to know what my stance should be toward him, for I fear that I will die without having enjoined good upon him or forbidden evil from him. I know that he lives a life that does not allow me to sit with him or meet him, and if I meet him, he turns away from me, curses me, insults my religion, and persists in oppressing me. I also fear for him a bad ending. I do not want to lose a door to Paradise, and my negligence is sufficient for me. So what is your guidance, may Allah preserve you? Perhaps this tape will enable me to reach him, and may Allah benefit him with your guidance?
AThe Shaykh : I direct advice to this father from two angles: The first angle is regarding his relationship with his Lord. I say: Fear Allah in yourself, your family, and your brothers, for you do not know when death will overtake you. If you are an oppressor, the oppressor may be punished with a bad ending, may Allah protect us from that. If a person dies without guidance and mindfulness of Allah, woe to him and what a loss it is for him. For this reason, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned: "About a man who used to engage in usury, dealing in riba, giving ten for eleven or more. When his death approached, some of his family were present with him. They would say to him: Say, 'There is no god but Allah.' He would say: 'Ten for eleven.' Every time they said: Say, 'There is no god but Allah,' he would say: 'Ten for eleven.'" He was sealed with a bad ending, may Allah protect us from that, because his heart was attached to this world and he forgot the Hereafter and forgot Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So we say to this father afflicted with this trial, may Allah protect us from that: Demanding from people and consuming people's wealth unjustly, fear Allah in yourself. And I remind him of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): and may Allah protect us from that. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This piece will be a collar around his neck on the Day of Resurrection, the day when the first and the last will witness it, it will be a collar around his neck, may Allah protect us from that. And how much is the measure of this day? Its measure is fifty thousand years. So he must repent.
