Treating the ignorant

“Show forgiveness, enjoin justice, and avoid the ignorant. If you are afflicted by the devil’s temptation, seek refuge in Allah; He hears all and knows all. If those that guard themselves against evil are touched by a temptation from the devil, they have but to recall Allah’s precepts and they shall see the light.”

[Surah Al-A’raf, 7: Ayat: 199-20I]

“If an idolater seeks asylum with you, give him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and then convey him to safety. For they are ignorant men.”

[Surah At-Taubah, 9: Ayat: 6]

“The true servants of the Merciful are those who walk humbly on the earth and when the ignorant address them they say: ‘Peace!’.”

[Surah Al-Furqan, 25: Ayat: 63]

“Twice shall their reward be given them, because they have endured, repelling evil with good and giving in alms a part of that which We bestowed on them; and because they pay no heed to vain talk, but say: ·We have our actions and you have yours. Peace be upon you. We do not seek (the company of ignorant men.’”

[Surah Al-Qasas, 28: Ayat: 54-55]

“(God also hears) his (the Prophet’s) cry: ‘Lord, these men are unbelievers.’ Bear with them and wish them peace. They shall (before long) know.”

[Surah Az-Zukhruf, 43: Ayat: 88-89]

“He is the Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but Him. Accept Him for your Protector. Bear patiently with what they’ say and leave their company with dignity.”

“And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while.”
