Q 2: What should I do if there are things that contradict the instructions of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? Should I continue with those who do not want to change (Part No. 12; Page No. 364) their minds despite the existence of clear proofs from Qur'an and Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet)?Q 3: What should I do if a group does not accept the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him); should I withdraw from them or remain with them?


A: You have to exert your effort to advise them to stop violating the instructions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and call them with wisdom and fair preaching to follow the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him). You have also to warn them against Bid`ahs (innovations in religion) and sins. If they respond, then all praise be to Allah Alone. However, if they insist on not changing their minds even though you have explained the matter to them and exerted great effort in this regard, you should detach yourself from them. You should then co-operate with Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah (adherents to the Sunnah and the Muslim mainstream) in Da`wah (calling) to the truth, supporting it with proofs from the Qur'an and Sunnah, and increasing the number of people who do the same.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
