Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In Surat al-Shu'ar, Allah the Exalted mentions every prophet, and mentions that he is the brother of his people, except for Shu'ayb (peace be upon him). Is he the brother of his people or not?
Answer:
He is the brother of his people by lineage. We told you, by lineage, not by religion. There is no brotherhood between a believer and a disbeliever. Rather, this is brotherhood by lineage, meaning that he is one of them, they know him, and he speaks their language.
