Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

As salam, thanks for this very well UN-revengeful answer. I hope that your all other answers also would be like this, without KOTHAR BASING and calling names. As you have wrote several times, if someone is doing wrong knowingly, the Almighty will take care. So, why don't you allow the Almighty to take care of Kothar and their followers? Secondly, I would like to request you to please be very specific and short in your reply. Because, most of your readers might not have that much time to read it. Also, please try repetition, if it has nothing to do with the specific answer.

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Let Allah take care of the wrongdoers

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125: Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

My beloved brother in Islam, our intention and objective is only to invite our brethren who want to listen to the Quran and good caution. We have absolutely no intention of any ‘kothar bashing’, as frankly, that is really counter productive to understanding the true deen of Islam. We absolutely agree with you that we should concentrate in propagating the Truth from the Holy Quran, and let the falsehood be proved false by itself.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Bani Israel verse 81: And declare, “The Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. And falsehood is a thing that must by its nature, vanish!”

We are also commanded by Allah to enjoin the right and forbid the evil. And the biggest evil Allah describes in the Holy Quran is the heinous crime of ‘shirk’.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 110: You (muslims) are the best community which has been raised for the guidance of mankind. You enjoin what is right, and forbid what is evil and you all believe in Allah Alone.

Whatever the case, brother, we absolutely agree with you. It is just that sometimes, the questions themselves are so provocative, that we have no other option but to prove the Truth from the Quran and give evidence that falsehood will always be falsehood.

Also, we do apologize if some of our answers are lengthy. Our objective is always to give a detailed answer, so that the brother or sister who asks the question is completely satisfied with the evidence from the Holy Quran and its guidance and teachings. We do agree that most of the people today are extremely busy, and do not have the time to read these lengthy emails. But brother, these topics are concerning theology and subjects of ‘imaan’ and ‘aqeedah’, and they always will require appropriate detailed answers. But we will, Insha Allah, endeavor to make our future answers brief and to the point. If the questions are concerning ‘fiqh’ or matters of ‘haraam’ or ‘halaal’; these are simple questions and Insha Allah, the answer to these will be to the point.

But as true believers, we must understand, that the time we spend in reading and taking knowledge from the Quran and Sunnah, will be a source of reward for us in the Hereafter. We always advise our readers to take a print-out of the articles, and take it home and read it when you are relaxed and have time to think and ponder seriously over the issues. And we just want to bring to your attention that if it takes you ten minutes to read an article, it takes our scholars days to prepare a proper detailed answer to each question. And I assure you, and Allah is our witness, not a single brother/sister in this forum takes any material or any other reward for his services. His reward is with Allah Subhanah Alone! May Allah increase yours and our Knowledge and guide us to the Truth.

May Allah bless you for the time and effort you took to write to us with your constructive criticism. We really do appreciate it, and all we can do is pray and supplicate to Allah for you and your family. May Allah reward you and honor you on the Day of Judgment for the good deeds you do to further the Cause of Allah. May Allah keep you and your family in His Infinite Mercy and Protection. May Allah guide you and us all to the Straight Path of Islam.

May Allah guide you and us to read and understand the simple and plain words of the Glorious Quran. May Allah increase our knowledge from the Holy Quran. May Allah guide us to the Siraat al Mustaqeem.

May Allah guide you and us all to the Siraat al-Mustaqeem

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
