The Faculty's Position on Forbidding the Callers of Fitnah and Division

Question:
This is a question from the College of Sharia in al-Ahsa. It says: Some faculty members are lax in forbidding the callers of fitnah and division, and they may even leave it alone. What is the guidance of Your Eminence for the teaching staff, the shaykhs, and the professors in this important matter?

Answer:
The one who is lazy in supporting the truth and in supporting the people of good only harms himself, and Allah will replace the community with someone better than them. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, does not let this religion be lost, nor does He let the people of this religion be lost. And whoever mocks them or belittles their status is only mocking himself and belittling his own status. So the religion is victorious, without doubt, it is victorious, even if what happens to it sometimes occurs, but it is victorious. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The religion is victorious and being tested, so do not be amazed, for this is the Sunnah of the Most Merciful." Yes.
