A pupil of Ali (RA) says: "Once Ali (RA) led people in Fajr Salaat. At the end he turned his face to the right and sat there facing the people till sunrise. He looked cast down. At last, he turned the palms of his hands up as a gesture of regret and spoke to the people thus: 'By Allah! I have been an associate of the Sahabah (companions) of Rasulullah Sallallaho alaihe wasallam, it's a pity that nowadays I find men who do not resemble them in any respect. When the Sahabah (RA) got up in the morning, they looked dishevelled, pale in face and covered with dust. During the night they would prostrate before Allah Ta'ala or stand in devotion reciting from the Holy Qur'an.

They would spend the whole night standing. When tired they would lean to the right or left for respite, shifting the weight of their bodies from one leg to the other. When they recited lines glorifying Allah, they swayed in ecstasy, as the trees do, when the wind passes through them. And they wept (for fear or love of Allah Ta'ala) shedding tears so profusely that their clothes would become wet. Alas! men of today, spend their nights in utter heedlessness."
From the book "Fadhail-e-Sadaqaa Part II", Translated by Prof. Abdul Karim.

What would Ali (RA) say if he saw our condition today?

Tabliq are invitations to Islam many discussions take place so how can you not learn anything there? So what do you do instead?

The Holy Quran, in Ayah 49 of Sura Bagharah, states: "Do you invite and order people to piety and good doing while forgetting yourselves, even as you read the Book? Will you not use your reason and intellect?".

This Ayah very clearly informs us about the first step of Tabliq and that is to first think about ourselves. Before going out to invite others to doing good and to Islam, we have to become a true follower of Islam ourselves.

Is fine slim thug, sister well if you see someone commiting haram you should stop them in my eyes and try to stop yourself from it too.

With the prophet peace be upon him we can talk about him is not backbiting as what he did and went though his vital in islam and again is very important so every muslim should know about him and his teaching.
There are some exeptions such as trying to stop something really evil to happen.

I try to ask sisters about certain situations like the one you stated IshAllah.
