Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. You know what has happened from the enemies of Allah, from the Jews and the Christians and others, namely the mockery of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in these days. So what is our obligation as individuals of the community in the face of this great matter?
Answer:
There is no doubt that these disbelievers are the most hostile to the Messengers in general, not specifically to our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, they are the most hostile to the Messengers in general. So what happened from them is only a detail among the details of their enmity toward the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them). The obligation is that we know this and that we be wary of them. We must be wary of them and not be deceived by their deceptions and hypocrisy toward the Muslims.
And they want closeness and brotherhood between the religions. This has become clear to us, and it was clear before, but with this incident it became clear to the deluded or those who think well of them that they are mistaken in this matter. And that it is not permissible to love a disbeliever, nor to believe him, nor to be deceived by him, no matter what he shows to the Muslims. One must be wary of him. This is the obligation. So this gave us a lesson we will not forget. And this removes the doubt from those who want closeness between Islam and disbelief, and who say that Islam is a religion of forgiveness, a religion of love, a religion, and a religion, and so on, whatever they say. Yes, Islam is a religion of forgiveness, but within the limits of the Shari'ah. Forgiveness within the limits of the Shari'ah. And closeness also within the limits of what Allah the Exalted has permitted. As for us merging with the disbelievers and making our religion one of the other religions.
It is a religion like the other religions, as they say. This is a false matter. Disbelief and faith are not equal, and truth and falsehood are not equal, and guidance and misguidance are never equal. So there is a benefit in making it clear to the deluded and the confused among our own people that they are mistaken in their closeness to the disbelievers and holding seminars and conferences with them in order to promote disbelief and equate it with Islam, and that they are all religions and all this. This is absolutely not permissible. Yes.
