The Details on Manifesting the Religion in Lands of Disbelief

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What are the details regarding the issue of manifesting the religion in lands of disbelief, for the Muslim who lives in those lands?

Answer:
Manifesting one's religion means that he calls to Allah and does not remain silent; he calls to Allah, he calls to Islam, he upholds his religion and does not compromise on any part of it—his prayer, his fasting, all matters of his religion. He does not compromise on any of it to please the disbelievers, or to live among them. He does not compromise on any part of his religion. This is manifesting the religion. It is not manifesting the religion that they leave you to pray and fast and do not interfere with you. That is not manifesting the religion. Manifesting the religion is that you clarify the disbelief they are upon, and that you call them to Allah the Exalted, and that you manifest your religion and do not hide it. Some of the Muslims, when they go there, hide in their prayers; they pray in a hidden place and do not manifest their religion because they fear the disbelievers. That is the loss, and I seek refuge in Allah. Manifest your religion. Your religion is honor. Your religion is honor. And when they see a person holding fast to his religion, they respect him more. And when they see him being lax about his religion, they harm him; they unleash [evil] upon him. Allah unleashes them upon him. Yes, the religion is honor, and praise be to Allah. It is not something to be hidden from people; rather, it is manifested. Many Muslims, when they see Muslims praying, and see them calling to prayer, and see them, Islam enters their hearts. Yes.
