The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I hope you will explain this noble verse and what is derived from it in the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98] [Al-An'am 6:82].
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. When the people of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) threatened him, they threatened him with their idols, telling him to fear them, not to criticize them, and not to forbid them. They threatened him that they would harm him and take revenge on him. So he (peace be upon him) said to them: Which group is more deserving of safety? The polytheist or the believing monotheist? Which is more deserving of safety, if you know? Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, answered this by saying:[Al-An'am 6:82] meaning by shirk (associating partners with Allah). The injustice referred to here is shirk, because it is the greatest injustice. He, Glorious and Exalted is He, said: Indeed, shirk is a great injustice. And injustice is placing a thing in other than its proper place. So if you place worship in other than its proper place, that is injustice, and it is the greatest type of injustice.
"Those who believed and did not mix" means they did not mix their faith, that is, their tawhid (the oneness of Allah), with injustice, meaning with shirk. Those are the ones who have safety. Absolute safety, or the absolute of safety. So safety is for the monotheist.
As for whether it is absolute safety such that the Fire never touches him, or absolute safety because he may be punished by the Fire but his ultimate destination is Paradise, this is absolute safety. And this is for the people of tawhid, who are the ones who have safety[Al-An'am 6:82]. They have safety in the Hereafter, and they are guided in this world. Yes.

بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِThey who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَThe Shaykh:
