The Muslim's Obligation Toward Atheist Organizations and Innovations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: Our rulers (may Allah preserve them), led by His Highness the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the Prince Muhammad ibn Salman ibn Abdulaziz (may Allah guide him), have affirmed the danger of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, Da'ish, the al-Qaeda organization, and other parties, organizations, and groups that deviate from the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community. They stated that these groups are a cause for tarnishing the image of Islam and Muslims, especially in this time. What is our collective obligation, and specifically the obligation of students of knowledge, toward these parties and organizations?

The Shaykh:
The obligation is to give advice. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Religion is sincerity (An-Nasihah).' They said: 'To whom, O Messenger of Allah?' he said: 'To Allah, to His Book, to His Messenger, to the imams of the Muslims, and to their common folkالدين النصيحة قلنا لمن يا رسول الله؟ قال لله ولكتابه ولرسوله ولأئمة المسلمين وعامتهم
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4197Sahih (Darussalam)
The obligation is to give advice to protect against these evils, these misguidances, and these evildoers. Part of giving advice is to expose their treachery, reveal their plots, and warn people against them.

The questioner:
Also, clarity and frankness are necessary, Your Eminence, the father, in such situations, especially regarding these organizations and parties that have harmed Islam and women?

The Shaykh:
In doubt, one must clarify what he knows and has confirmed regarding dangers to the Muslims. It is obligatory for him to strive to prevent it and inform the responsible authorities and those concerned with addressing these matters about these dangers that he has learned about.
