Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some people make excuses, saying: We see some non-Arabs who come to the two Holy Sanctuaries, and although they have doctrinal innovations and innovations in worship, we are amazed by them when they recite the Qur'an or pray behind the imam; they weep and are moved. Then he says about himself: We are the people of the Sunnah, our creed is sound, and our worship is sound, and yet when we read the Qur'an and listen to it, we feel a lack of being moved, a lack of humility.
The Shaykh:
It is a calamity, there is no doubt that it is a calamity. We ask Allah for well-being and safety. There is no power and no strength except...
The questioner:
These people, or the people of innovation, their being moved, O Shaykh, what does that indicate?
The Shaykh:
It indicates, meaning, the softness of hearts that have heard the verses of Allah. One may be a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) and his heart may be affected, but the important thing is that he does righteous deeds and is sincere to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). His heart may be affected when hearing about the Fire, so he warns himself and fears, and when hearing about Paradise, he longs for it, even though he is ignorant and does not know. Yes.
