Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We continue with [the name] bin Salman, who has taken an interest in this union. We hope that Your Excellency will guide us to benefit from this union and support His Highness the Prince in increasing attention to it and to Africa in general. We ask that you include it in your supplication, which we all believe in.
Answer:
We say: May Allah reward His Highness the Prince with the best reward for this work. We ask Him to grant him success in completing it, and to help him adhere to this sound methodology, and to exert himself in providing benefit and good to the Muslims. Then we also advise you to cooperate in righteousness and piety, and we advise you to employ wisdom, good exhortation, and argument in the best manner with those who disagree with you. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nahl 16:125], and argument [An-Nahl 16:125]. Do not take matters with harshness or severity. Rather, take them with gentleness, softness, and gradualism, step by step, drawing people to you and not repelling them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 69

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِand argue with them in a way that is best
وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُFacilitate things to people (concerning religious matters), and do not make it hard for them and give them good tidings and do not make them run away (from Islam).
يسروا ولا تعسروا، وبشروا ولا تنفروا.
