The Ruling on Establishing the Argument and Its Comprehension with the People of Innovation

Some of the brothers went to call their relatives in southern Yemen to Islam. These relatives were raised and nurtured by the scholars of the Sufis, and among what they taught them was: If any person comes to you from the Hijaz or from Najd, or if he is a monotheist, he is considered a Wahhabi, so do not accept him. We wanted to call them to the oneness of Allah, but they did not accept this call from us. Is this an established argument? And is it required that the argument be understood in addition to being established, or not?

There is no doubt that if it is said to them: This is the truth, and this is the Book of Allah, and this is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The argument has been established against them because they are Arabs who understand as soon as they hear. However, if he were a non-Arab and you were speaking to him in Arabic which he does not understand, then the argument has not been established against him because he does not understand what you are saying. If he knows what you are saying, and you bring the Book and the Sunnah as evidence, but he insists and says: I will follow my sheikhs, then the argument has been established against him.And this is like those about whom Allah said: [Surah al-Zukhruf: 23] So we say: Call us whatever you wish, Wahhabi, or Hanbali, or Najdi, or Hijazi, or whatever you wish. Do you not believe in Allah and His Messenger? Do you not see that the Qur'an is evidence, and that the Sunnah is evidence? But it appears that some of the callers to Islam become emotional,And if they say: We do not take from you that you are Wahhabis, they become repelled by them, or they respond to them in kind,And he says: saying you are misguided, and you have such and such, so the call with wisdom does not occur from him.
