Calling the Christians in the workplace and disavowing the disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he is an employee and there are Christians at his workplace. He asks: How do I call them to Islam, and how do I reconcile calling them to it with being gentle with them, and with the Muslim’s hostility toward the disbeliever?
Answer:
There is a difference between calling to Allah with wisdom and gentleness, and loyalty in the heart and love in the heart. Calling him and dealing with him does not require loving him in the heart; it only requires wishing him good. You do not love him, but you wish for him that Allah guide him. You wish for him good. If he accepts, praise be to Allah; if not, you have cleared your conscience and fulfilled the obligation upon you. Yes.
