The Methodology of Da'wah to Allah and the Response to Those Who Label Preachers as Wahhabis

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: When we rebuke the polytheists in our lands, and we rebuke those who worship at graves, they say you are a Wahhabi.

The Shaykh:
Praise be to Allah, this is good. The one who rebukes the worship of graves rebukes shirk (associating partners with Allah). Praise be to Allah, this is an honor for us. Yes.

The presenter:
And I.

The Shaykh:
Do not be alarmed by this. Do not be alarmed. Continue. You want good for them. By Allah, you want good for them. You do not want evil for them. You do not want to insult them or belittle them.
Say to them this. Say: We are concerned for you and we fear for you. And we want for you what we want for ourselves, which is knowing the truth and acting upon it.
Approach them in the manner in which Allah the Exalted said: . Follow the path that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) followed in his da'wah, and upon which the preachers and reformers proceeded.
And you will not lack benefit for yourselves and for others, by the permission of Allah. You will receive reward, and Allah will guide whom He wills through your hands, and you will obtain a great reward in this. For guiding one man by Allah is better for you than red camels. Yes. So be patient with this. Be patient and continue.
And use gentle speech with them , especially since they claim to be Muslims and that they want good. Say: We want you to know what Islam is, so that your Islam becomes correct. Say to them this. Yes. Do not say to them: You are disbelievers, you are polytheists, you and you. And do not use violence with them, for this will repel them. Yes.
