Question:
We begin with a message from Adnan Karim in Baghdad, who says: If a person disbelieves in Allah and the Messenger, is it forbidden for a person to say to him: "Seek forgiveness from Allah"?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may the prayers and peace be upon His servant and messenger, His intimate friend and His trustee over His revelation, our Prophet and our Imam Muhammad ibn Abdullah, and upon his family and his Companions, and whoever follows his guidance. As for what follows:
If a person disbelieves, it is obligatory for the Muslims around him to advise him, to reprimand him for what he did, to make clear to him the evil of his deed, and to order him to rectify his affair and repent to Allah for what he did. This is what is prescribed; this is what is obligatory. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 49a the hadith; and because this is part of calling to Allah and advising the servants of Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1893a And the greatest good is guiding to Islam and calling to repentance from apostasy. This is the greatest good. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) : Sahih al-Bukhari 3701 That he advises him and guides him, and says to him: "Seek forgiveness from Allah, repent to Allah." This is a great crime, this is a great evil, this is disbelief and misguidance. Perhaps he will return and repent. This is a great good and a righteous deed. Yes.

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand
من رأى منكم منكرًا فليغيره بيده...One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer.
من دل على خير فله مثل أجر فاعلهif one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted to Islam) through you, it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels.
لأن يهدي الله بك رجلًا واحدًا خير لك من حمر النعم
