Naseeha is the Arabic word for advice. It can also mean recommendation (particularly in Islamic contexts). Seeking naseeha is mostly looked upon positively, as an act of devotion rather than a lack of it or of knowledge. Though one might be rebuked or scolded during the process, it will most likely be for the advisor to impress the point. Naseeha is common in order to ensure one is properly applying the teachings of Islam.

Naseeha, which literally means 'sincere counsel', is also a confidential youth helpline for young Muslims in North America.
