Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and benefit through you, Honorable Shaykh. Allah the Exalted says, after the seeking of refuge:[An-Nahl 16:98] [Al-Baqarah 2:183] Honorable Shaykh, what is the obligatory etiquette for the believers when they are called to in the Noble Qur'an?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the believers when they are called to in the Noble Qur'an, in the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Baqarah 2:178], and this call is repeated often, that they listen to this call and respond to it.
And that they comply with the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When you hear Allah saying[Al-Baqarah 2:178], then lend your ear to it, for it is either good that you are commanded to do, or evil that you are warned against. So it is obligatory to respond to these calls and to reflect upon these great calls, because they come from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to guide His servants to good and to prohibit them from evil. Yes.
May Allah reward you and benefit through you, Honorable Shaykh. Allah the Exalted says, after the seeking of refuge:
in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].

It is obligatory for the believers when they are called to in the Noble Qur'an, in the saying of Allah the Exalted
O you who have believed
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواAnd that they comply with the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When you hear Allah saying
O you who have believed
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
