The Obligation of Taking Action to Support the Truth and Not Contenting Oneself with Waiting for Victory

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: With the prevalence of evil and the spread of wrongdoing in this time, some people do not condemn these evils, claiming that the outcome belongs to the truth in the end, and that the people of evil are doomed.

The Shaykh:
This is not sufficient. One must take action. Yes, we say that the truth will prevail and falsehood will vanish, but one must take action for this. The truth does not prevail by itself; it prevails through its people and their standing for it. The truth does not stand by itself; someone must stand for it in the proper manner. Therefore, one must take action. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. Is this a good assumption? Does it have any effect?

The Shaykh:
This is good. He says that the truth will prevail even if we do nothing, if we do not condemn, if we do not condemn the evil, if we do not strive in the path of Allah. The truth will not prevail except through the cause. You must take action in this, and Allah will support you. Look: "If you support Allah, He will support you." He does not support you always; He supports you when you support Him, when you support His religion and stand for the truth. This is a fallacy.
