Best of you

23. "The best thing mankind has been given is excellent character." [Hâkim, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

3. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys… But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book.”(Qur’an, 31:19-20)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Dissociation or Da'wah?

 


Question:

It is well known that it is compulsory to part company with the disobedient person, but if we wish to invite him to the right way what should we do? Should we be kind to that person and sit with him?
Answer:

Parting with a disobedient person is not something that is "well known" as the questioner claims, but parting from disobedience is what is well known. The only situation wherein it is allowed break off relations with a sinner is when there is a benefit in doing so - when he will desist because his nature does not permit him to bear reproach from others, in such circumstances, breaking relations is something desirable. Otherwise, no one should break off relations with him. As for sitting with him, being kind to him, and calling him back to guidance and Taqwa, then this is a desirable matter. But it is not allowed for someone to sit and talk with him, without caring about his disobedience.
