Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from Britain and says: My uncle has been afflicted by Allah with atheistic ideas. He doubts the Qur'an and the hadiths and denies the descent of revelation. His question is: How do I call him to abandon these bad, atheistic ideas and convince him that this is evil? And if he refuses, how should I deal with him?
Answer:
Leave him. One who has reached this level of disbelief should be left alone, for there is no hope for him. His heart has become corrupt, and if the heart is corrupt, there is no benefit in him. So leave him and stay away from him.
