Hatred of the People of Innovation and Attaining the Guardianship of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person loves the people of the Sunnah and the community, and hates the people of innovation and division, such as the Sufis, the innovators, and the partisans, does he enter into the guardianship of Allah and attain it?
Answer:
If he hates them for the sake of Allah, yes, he enters into it. Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, and forms alliances for the sake of Allah, attains the guardianship of Allah. If he hates these people for the sake of Allah the Exalted, he enters into the guardianship of Allah, because he does not hate them for their persons, nor for their lands, nor because they harmed or hurt him, but rather he hates them because they are enemies of Allah and enemies of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Even if they treat him well and do not harm him, he does not love them; rather, he hates them. Even a disbelieving father: you treat him well because he is your father, but you hate him because he is an enemy of Allah, just as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) did with him,[At-Tawbah 9:114]. However, along with this, he treats him well in worldly matters and is dutiful to him in worldly matters as a reward for his kindness to him when he was young, but he does not love him in his heart. Yes.

But when it became apparent to Abraham that his father was an enemy to Allah, he disassociated
