One of things that I find very difficult when I try to advise some people or warn them of some evil that they are doing, is that they say, “This does not concern you, mind your own business, don’t interfere in my private affairs.” What is the ruling on what they say?
Praise be to Allah. Their
words are false and a rejection of the truth. Allaah is dislikes such
a response. The evidence for that is what it says in the saheeh hadeeth
narrated from the Messenger
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “The most beloved of speech
to Allaah is when a person says: ‘Subhaanaka Allaahumma wa bi hamdika,
wa tabaaraka ismuka wa ta’aala jadduka, wa laa ilaaha ghayruka (Glory
and praise be to You, O Allaah, blessed be Your name and exalted be
Your majesty, and there is no god but You).’ The most hated of speech
to Allaah is when one man says to another, ‘Fear Allaah,’ and the other
says, ‘Mind your own business!’”
(al-Silsilah
al-Saheehah by al-Albaani, no. 2598)
You
have to persist in da’wah, and bear patiently the things you suffer,
as Luqmaan said to his son:
“O my son! Aqim-is-Salaah (perform As-Salaah),
enjoin (on people) Al-Ma‘roof (Islamic Monotheism and all
that is good), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief
in the Oneness of Allaah, polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil
and bad), and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily, these
are some of the important commandments (ordered by Allaah with no exemption)”
[Luqmaan 31:17 – interpretation of the meaning]
