Shaykh Ibn Baaz: How to Give Da’wah to Those Affected By Specific Misguidance Posted on July 27, 2014 by admin In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful… The great scholar of Islaam, Shaykh ‘Abdul-’Azeez ibn Baaz [d.1420] -may Allaah have Mercy on him- was asked about the methodology of propagating Islaam to people who have been affected by certain cultures or societies that distort the true meaning of Islaam. He replied: The falsehood of the beliefs or culture which has affected them is to be clarified to them. The (false) beliefs are clarified as involving such-and-such (i.e. naming the specific points of misguidance). The various forms of falsehood and innovation found within such beliefs – if any – are to be clarified. Furthermore, the primary reference for all affairs is to be clearly identified as the Book of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, and the Sunnah of His Messenger (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace). (It is said to them) Regarding what you have come across of such-and-such (a specific form of misguidance), what you have learned, like such-and-such, and/or the manners you have taken from your environment, like intermingling, etc., these issues must all be weighed on the scale of the Sharee’ah (divinely revealed Islaamic Legislation), like how the scholars base issues of jurisprudence upon the legislative evidences (of the Book and the Sunnah). Whatever is in line with it (the Sharee’ah) remains, and whatever opposes it must be cast aside, even if it were the known customary practices of one’s parents, forefathers, scholars, or anyone else. In summary, it is obligatory to adhere to the upright manners and good standing which the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) lead to. We are not to have bigotry for our fathers, grandfathers, cultures, or homelands. Rather, a person must adhere to the Truth proven in the Book of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, the Sunnah of His Messenger (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace), and the consensus of the early predecessors of the Ummah.
