Question:
This is a questioner from Russia who says that some people among us claim to be Muslims, but they do not know that there is a testimony of faith, let alone know its meaning.
Answer:
This is due to your negligence. Explain it to them; explain it to them. It is obligatory for students of knowledge in Russia and elsewhere to explain it to them. It is obligatory for scholars to speak in the media so that their call reaches the east and the west. They explain things to people and use these means to call people to Allah the Exalted, whether near or far. This is a blessing from Allah the Exalted. If we had utilized it properly, yes.
