TRUE MUSLIMS (II)

Every Muslim should try to protect his îmân lest it should be seized. He should deem enemies of Allâhu ta’âlâ and of His Prophet as enemies and struggle to humiliate and disgrace them.

Every Muslim should endeavor to maintain his îmân and should not let it be stolen. He should not love disbelievers who do not believe Allâhu ta’âlâ and His Prophet. [But one should not treat harshly or cruelly those whom one does not like. Disbelievers and bid’at holders should be given good advice with a smiling face and with a sweet tongue. We should try to rescue them from the disaster and so that they may attain happiness.] Hadrat Mazhar Jân-i Jânân ‘quddisa sirruh’ stated: “We are commanded not to love disbelievers, men of bid’at, and those sinners who commit sins floutingly. We should not speak with them, go to their homes and meetings or salute them, or make friends with them. However, these prohibitions are suspended under inevitable conditions within a time of necessity. Although it is permissible to contact them under these conditions, it is a must not to love them in a heartfelt way.”
