The Call to Prayer in the Face of the Stubbornness of Those Invited
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I invite my friends to prayer many times, but they resist. When I invite some of them, they pray at home, and some mention the prayer in the mosque. I have grown weary of inviting them because of their stubbornness. Should I stop doing so?
Answer:
Do not stop calling to Allah, and do not stop admonishing and advising. Do not despair that Allah will guide them or guide some of them. So, continue advising. If they do not accept, and if there is an authority, report it to the authority. If there is an authority that can take hold of them, report it to them. If there is no authority that can take hold of them, distance yourself from them. As long as you are with them, you are required to advise. If you grow weary of advising, distance yourself from them; do not sit with them and do not live with them. Yes.
