Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from outside this country says: The people in my village do not like the books of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) because most of them follow the Sufi creed. So which book on tawhid (the oneness of Allah) should I use to teach them? And what do you advise me to do?
Answer:
Teach them the books of the people of the Sunnah and the community, such as the books of Shaykh Muhammad and others. Whoever is pleased will be pleased, and whoever is not pleased, you establish the proof against him,[Al-Qasas 28:56], but it is incumbent upon you to make the explanation clear.

Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ
