Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I return to my country, what do you advise me to do? Should I explain the correct creed to the people, knowing that I face problems with the Sufis? Or should I explain the matters of prayer and the other acts of worship? Please advise us with what you see to be beneficial, may Allah preserve you.
Answer:
May Allah reward you with good. Convey what you know of the truth[An-Nahl 16:125]. Convey it. Call to Allah. Teach. And let this be done with wisdom. Step by step, gradually, without confrontation or direct opposition from the very beginning. Rather, let it be done gradually and through persuasion. Persuade them until they are convinced. It is not necessary that they all obey you from the first time. If some individuals, even if few, obey you, and then the good spreads gradually, that is a good thing. Yes.
