The Position of the People of the Sunnah Regarding the Criticism of Their Belief

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some of those who disagree with us write about the belief of the Salaf regarding their dealings with the ruler. And the greatest thing in the belief of the Salaf is that they are accused of being disbelievers with him, and so on.

Answer:
Yes, they will say what they say, and it is none of our concern. They say whatever they wish. If we are confident in the truth we hold, then it does not harm us that they say such and such about us, or that we are accused of such and such, or that we are blamed for such and such. This does not concern us. The people of truth have always been blamed, and things have always been said about them, but this did not harm them nor stop them from their belief and the truth they possess. We do not pay attention to these statements, except for their owners.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
