The Ruling on Reaching a Settlement with the People of Innovation Regarding Not Speaking About the Verses of Attributes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some of our brother da'is (callers) to Allah the Exalted in the countries felt that it was in the public interest that they agree with the Sufis not to speak in lectures or sermons about rising above the Throne, for example, or calling for aid, and other such matters. They cited the agreement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the Jews as evidence. Is this evidence valid, O Shaykh? What is your guidance?
No, this evidence is not correct;Because what you mention is His saying, the Exalted:
They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ
[al-Qalam:9] , compromising in religion is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only made a treaty with the Jews that no one would transgress against anyone else, not that we would accept their religion forever. It is impossible that the Messenger would accept their religion forever. And what you mention means accepting the falsehood they are upon. So a settlement on this basis is, in reality, compromising, and compromising is forbidden. It is not permissible for anyone to compromise with anyone in the religion of Allah. Rather, it is obligatory to clarify the truth no matter what. However, it is possible that if they see it in the public interest not to start with refutation first, but to start first with the correct explanation. For example, if he speaks about rising above the Throne as you mentioned, he explains the meaning of rising above the Throne and clarifies its reality without saying, "There are people who interpret it thus and so," until the people settle down, know the truth, and it becomes easy for them to move from falsehood to truth.
