Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good and bless you. I understand, I mean.
The Shaykh : And you.
The questioner : The calling group; I went out with them. ... The Kurd, when he said to the Jew, calling him to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), did not know how to answer him, I mean, when I went out ... with them.
The Shaykh : To Egypt?
The questioner : No, Pakistan and India ... .
The Shaykh : Ah, what Allah willed!
Another questioner : Did you go to Iran?
The questioner : Ah, so we used to go to call the disbelievers to Islam.
The Shaykh : Of course, the Muslims.
The questioner : It was a process of reminding among the Muslims, visiting one another; that was the goal; because they need us and we need them. For example, we might find a scholar among them ... from whom we benefit, and perhaps there is a scholar with us from Syria or from Lebanon from whom they benefit. And it was a process of association. So, as for the scholars, if a disbeliever comes and wants to submit to Islam, there is no one else to speak with him ... they want to submit to Islam and no one holds them back.
The Shaykh : They do not know.
The questioner : ... they refer him to one of the scholars present ... among the Muslims there in Idran or outside Idran, the head ... he is the one who moves around, I mean, a process of encouraging them how to speak with the Muslims ... .
The Shaykh : We did not differ, but what is its relation to the Tabligh Islam group, and where is Tabligh Islam? One who lacks a thing cannot give it. They claim a claim much greater than themselves.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Then you know that there are other people like you, from the Salafis, who associated with them and then expelled them.
The questioner : They did not expel me.
Another questioner : He is not speaking about you, he is speaking about others.
The Shaykh : Be patient a little, I mean, whoever sees the lesson in others, let him take a lesson, especially if your neighbor is right next to you and when we ask him a question he does not answer. How many times did we say to him?! We are asking you, answer! So you do not pass by him. So I am asking you now; do you have news that some of our Salafi brothers associated with the Tabligh group just as you associated with them and then expelled them? Do you have news? Ah, this is the answer, you do not have news. I understand and I think you will agree with me; why did they expel them? ... .
The Shaykh : And you.
