Question:
The questioner says: If the outward signs of Islam are established in a land, such as the adhan (call to prayer), the salah (ritual prayer), and the like, and likewise the signs of shirk are apparent, such as shrines, worship of graves, and the like, what is the ruling on this land?
Answer:
We have told you, we have told you, this is not a land of Muslims. It has shirk, and it has shrines. They need da'wah (calling others to Islam); they need teaching. If you emigrate and leave them, their evil will increase. Deal with them. They are the people of your land; deal with them in this matter. Teach them, call them to Allah, and explain it to them. Yes.
