A Discussion on the Belief/Disbelief of the Jews and Christians

Allāh the Most High said in the Qurʾān:  فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر “(And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allāh and His Messenger (ﷺ), if you believe in Allāh and the Last Day.” In this day and age of ‘social acceptability,’ many Muslim student associations try to make Islām more plausible to non-Muslims through a strange and erroneous technique.

Defending the Honour of the Muslims

Abū al-Dardāʾ (رضى الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Whoever defends his brother’s honor in his absence, Allāh will protect his face from the Fire of Hell on the Day of Resurrection.”1 If he happens to attend a gathering and his Muslim brother is being mentioned with sin or being degraded, then he defends him as he would defend his own honour, because his brother’s honour is like his own.

Shaykh Fawzān on the Manners of Refuting Mistakes

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān: “To respond and refute a mistake does not include (necessarily) that you belittle the one being refuted and that you take away from his status unless the person being responded to is not from the people of knowledge, then his situation must be clarified, so he himself can know his own level and so that he is not counted to be from the ranks of the scholars whilst he is not from amongst them.”
