Question:
The questioner says: Now, all the rulers listen to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but they accept Islam in an incorrect way, so they do not see Islam as a valid religion. Is it obligatory for them to seek the truth?
Answer:
Yes, the proof has been established against them, and it is obligatory for them to ask, "What is Islam?" and to get to know it. It is not permissible for them to remain in their ignorance of Islam and say, "It did not reach us in a correct form." They must strive to know it and ask about it. Yes, because they are people of intellect. They know the correct from the incorrect. Yes.
