Some students’ affirmation of the correctness, importance, and validity of calling the common people to the truth that conforms to the Book and the Sunnah.

The student : I am convinced, but I also want to say that real-world experience proves the correctness of what was said. Indeed, when we are in some gatherings in the mosques, we see a person who rebukes with the Sunnah, contradicting the Sunnah—for example. We see this often, and we explain the evidence to him and clarify the Islamic ruling, and we show him that, for example, his school of jurisprudence differs from that, but infallibility belongs to Allah and His Messenger, and so on. Our practical experience in dozens of incidents proves that this common person accepts it, submits to it, is convinced, and says: May Allah reward you with good. In some matters, he mentions to us things of severity and harshness that he was given rulings on and suffered from. So when he hears the correct ruling from the Book and the Sunnah, he prays for us with beautiful praise and says: It would be good if this were published, and by Allah, I did not know. From our experience, I do not recall a single incident where, for example, a fitnah occurred when we called a person to the truth, or where, for example, a dispute arose, on the contrary. This is, of course, if it is done with gentleness and wisdom, and no one denies that if we call people to the truth, we should call them with wisdom. Our practical experience: bring up a single incident, brother, for example, a caller whose call was for the truth and he was filled with it, who called a person and, for example, a fitnah resulted, or something with no good outcome, or, for example, this person was scattered from his religion, as you mention. Our experience: No!
