wasiqjaved sir with all due respect dawah is done to the ones who never studied Islam due to the difference in core message. Like christians/ jews/ hindus/ atheists etc.
Qadiyanis, sunnah/ hadith deniers, Bahai etc are all knowledgeable in the core belief of Islam yet they chose to part ways. They can't be treated the same way with dawah methodology like people of another religion and scholars attest to this. Their only intention is to derail the common men from Islam.
Hope you understand.
JazakAllah for your thoughtful reply once again.
I do understand where you're coming from — particularly the distinction you’ve drawn between da’wah to
non-Muslims versus addressing those whom you believe have
knowingly deviated from core Islamic beliefs (such as Hadith deniers or Qadiyanis). Your view reflects the concern of many traditional scholars who fear the deliberate misguidance of the Muslim masses under the guise of "reform."
However, I would respectfully add that
not all those who fall into these groups do so out of conscious rebellion or malice. Some may have:
- Lost trust in religious institutions due to hypocrisy or corruption.
- Encountered cherry-picked Hadith or cultural distortions being passed as Islam.
- Been exposed to internet “scholarship” and lack the tools to critically analyze it.
- Simply born into this deviated "sect".
Even the
Sunnah itself teaches us to assess each person individually. The Prophet ﷺ reached out even to the
munafiqeen with mercy — not because he agreed with them, but because he never closed the door on anyone.
You’re right: we
must protect the laypeople. But silencing, ridiculing, or labeling anyone without effort to
educate or engage can sometimes
push them deeper into deviation.
And to be honest, I've also seen cases where someone once rejected Hadith — but
through respectful, intelligent conversation, they came back to a balanced understanding of the Deen.
So perhaps the solution is a
dual approach:
- Firm refutation of harmful ideologies in public,
- But also gentle outreach to individuals who might be salvageable through hikmah and character.
I may be wrong in my approach, but I feel this might be the right way to approach things. Being a muslim, we must always show compassion and mercy toward others. May Allah guide us all and unite us on the truth with sincerity and humility. Ameen.
