Achieving Good Citizenship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sa'id from Riyadh says: May Allah bless you. Perhaps you could speak about the importance of achieving good citizenship, and how a Muslim achieves good citizenship in his homeland, in his religion, and in his creed.
Answer:
Yes, good citizenship. It is built upon religious brotherhood. It is built upon religious love. These bonds are not broken. Because it is love for the sake of Allah. As for love for the sake of this world or for the sake of kinship, it may be broken and severed, and change may enter it according to worldly influences.
As for the love of Allah, pure love, which is the love of worship, does not change. So the believer loves Allah with pure love, and even if he is afflicted with what befalls him in his religion, he is patient with it. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if you were burned, or even if you were killed, or burned, the Muslim stands firm in his love for Allah, because it is the love of worship, which is not severed and is not affected by any influence. Yes.
