The Muslim's Role in Lands Not Governed by the Book and the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him and be scrupulous with him), and may He benefit us with his knowledge, what is the Muslim's position, or his role, in a democratic land that is not governed by the Book and the Sunnah, in opposition to these groups, parties, and sects? And what is our duty toward their rulers, whether they are Muslims or disbelievers?

Answer:
First, you must be upright yourself upon the religion of Allah, then call to the religion of Allah with wisdom, good exhortation, and the best kind of argument. You must clarify the truth to the extent of your ability and hold fast to it until you meet your Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
