Answer:

Response to foul language

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.

Beloved brother in Islam, one must understand and respect the fact that the Merciful Lord has given each person a ‘free will’ to choose whatever path one wishes to follow. And when one is born and brought up in an environment of disbelief or ‘shirk’ or even ‘bidaats’; it is only natural that the person will follow the ways of his fore-fathers and his environment, and when someone comes to him with an opinion other than what he is used to….he will fight the person tooth and nail; even though it might be the Absolute Truth.

This has always been the reaction of the people towards anyone who tried to propagate the Truth of Allah Subhanah. And when the noble Prophets of Allah and their noble companions were not spared the onslaught of their people for propagating the Absolute Truth; how can we, as simple and humble believers with our own massive baggage of sins and short-comings, expect that people will accept what we are inviting them towards, even though it is nothing but the Truth from the Quran and the Sunnah!

Besides, if there are a few brothers who may curse and abuse us for inviting them to the Truth, Allah Subhanah has also blessed and honored us with brothers like you who supplicate and pray for our forgiveness to the Merciful Lord and are a constant source of encouragement for us to continue this humble and insignificant effort in the Noble Cause of Allah Subhanah, the Lord of the Worlds.

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble efforts in the propagation of the Truth. If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.

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 in Islam,

Burhan
