Dealing with those who seek to divide the ranks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
They seek to seize power and exploit the da'wah for that purpose, and they work on writing reports to incite governments and security agencies against them. So how do we deal with these people who stand between us and the unity of the ranks that we all seek?
Answer:
You are obligated to follow the correct path. As for those who come with you, praise be to Allah. As for those who refuse, leave them, and their approach is to advise them if they accept advice, then advise them.
As for you obliging people to be on one path, this requires authority; it requires authority and power. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:[At-Taghabun 64:16] But you should stick to the correct path yourselves and with those who respond to you. As for those who refuse and want division and want to seize power, leave them and stay away from their path. If they accept advice, advise them. If they do not accept advice, [Al-Qasas 28:56]. Yes. May Allah reward you. Your Excellency the Shaykh, and may Allah reward us and all the attendees with good.

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْIndeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ
