What is the ruling on one who belittles the Muslims and mentions the virtues of the disbelievers and the states of disbelief?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who mentions the virtues of the disbelievers and the states of disbelief, and whenever he sees a deficiency in the Muslims, he says, "This is not found among the disbelievers," or "The disbelievers are better than us in these matters"? And does this fall under loyalty to the disbelievers and disavowal of the Muslims?

Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible. It is not permissible to belittle the Muslims, even if they are weak, or even if they have things that do not appear beautiful on the surface. They have faith. Faith is the most precious thing on earth and the most precious thing in the universe. Even if they have deficiencies in this world, or in appearances, or in civilization, they have faith.
They have faith, and they are the close friends of Allah. And the One who is disheveled, dusty, and pushed through the doors, if he swears an oath by Allah, He will fulfill it. So we do not look down upon the Muslims because of their weakness, or because they lack appearances, or for other reasons; it is not permissible. And we do not praise the disbelievers for their grandeur. Nor let your eyes be dazzled by what We have given to pairs of them of the fleeting pleasures of this world . The disbelievers are humiliated. Even if their worldly life is flourishing, they have disbelief, and I seek refuge in Allah. So they have no share in the Hereafter. How can we praise them and speak well of them? Yes, it is obligatory for the Muslims to prepare, to organize themselves, and to display the appropriate appearances. This is obligatory for the Muslims. But we do not belittle them if they are weak, or have little means, or are poor, because they have faith. They have faith, and they have the Hereafter with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
