What is your advice for the du'aat in the West?
Question:
"May Allah be good to you virtuous Shaykh, we also received a question through Twitter, brother Sa'eed the German asks Your Eminence and says: "What is the advice of Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan for the du'aat to Allah, Exalted is He, in the West?"
Answer:
"That they invite to the Way of their Lord, as Allah has ordered them with by His statement:
{Invite to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.} [Surah An-Nahl 16:125]
And thus they have to invite the people as a whole to the religion of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic;
All of this is from inviting (dawah) to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. Inviting to Allah is not only restricted to the Kuffar, rather even the Muslims are to be invited to Allah, they are in need of this, (in need of) admonition, (Islamic) education and exhortation. Yes."
Shaykh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him

And thus they have to invite the people as a whole to the religion of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic;
- invite the Kuffar (the unbelievers) to enter into the religion of Islam and explain its merits to them,
- invite the sinners from among the Muslims to repentance, and
- explain to the ignorant from among the Muslims where they err in their creed or in their acts of worship.
All of this is from inviting (dawah) to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. Inviting to Allah is not only restricted to the Kuffar, rather even the Muslims are to be invited to Allah, they are in need of this, (in need of) admonition, (Islamic) education and exhortation. Yes."

السؤال: أحسن الله إليك فضيلة الشيخ أيضا وردنا عبر التويتر الأخ سعيد الألماني يسأل سماحتكم يقول ما نصيحة الشيخ صالح الفوزان للدُعاة إلى الله تعالى في الغرب ؟
الجواب: أن يدعوا إلى سبيل ربهم كما أمرهم الله بقولهِ : (ادْعُ إِلَى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ) فيدعون الناس عمومًا إلى دين الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يدعون الكفار إلى الدخول في الإسلام ويبينون لهم محاسنه ويدعون العصاة من المسلمين إلى التوبة ويُبينون للجُهال من المسلمين ما يُخطئون في عقيدتهم أو في عبادتهم كل هذا من الدعوة إلى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الدعوة إلى الله ليست مقتصرة على الكفار بل المسلمون يدعون إلى الله وهم بحاجة إلى هذا إلى تنبيه إلى تعليم إلى تحذير. نعم
