Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: How do we reconcile the love for his uncle Abu Talib, mentioned in His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Qasas 28:56], with His saying, the Exalted: “You will not find a people who love those who have opposed Allah and His Messenger.”
Answer:
[Al-Qasas 28:56] The object is omitted, understood to be "whomever you wish to guide," whomever you wish to guide, or perhaps the intended meaning is natural love rather than religious love. Yes.
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: How do we reconcile the love for his uncle Abu Talib, mentioned in His saying, the Exalted:
Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَAnswer:
Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ
