Not hastening to support the truth when calling to Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, what is it? I mean, it is necessary to keep it in your heart.
The Shaykh : Is it necessary? Truthfulness, yes.
The questioner : What is the call?
The Shaykh : No, it is not necessary, it is not necessary. But if the test occurs, it is inevitable. Do not be surprised, do not be surprised by this. Do not say, "Why is my call not accepted from the start?" Do not say, "Why did the opposition arise?" Do not be surprised by this. But as the opposition strengthens, the truth strengthens, because the opposition brings out the truth. Have you seen, for example, if you state a jurisprudential opinion and you find no one to oppose you, you take it as it appears to you from the evidence. But if someone comes to oppose you, you strengthen it, and you support it with the evidence that supports it, and you defend it against the evidence that contradicts it.
