Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I notice that some students of knowledge look down on others, are harsh, lack mercy, do not consider the call to Allah in their dealings with others, and neglect putting their knowledge into practice. What is your guidance and advice?
Answer:
The guidance is that they should fear Allah and act upon their knowledge. Acting upon knowledge includes giving guidance, offering direction, being humble, and dealing well with people.[An-Nahl 16:125] They should not be arrogant toward people, be harsh with them, or abandon the call to Allah. This is undoubtedly a failure to act upon knowledge. Yes.

ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ
