Question:
He asks: Are there signs that the caller might be calling to himself? He says: So if someone calls to himself, and that is by announcing that he has a lecture or that he has a sermon at such-and-such a place?
Answer:
This is in the hearts, and no one knows what is in the hearts except Allah. We have only the outward appearance. Whether he is calling to Allah or to himself, no one knows that except Allah. We assume the best of him unless something appears from him. If something appears from him, then we disapprove of it. Yes.
