A Muslim Only Calls to the True Path but By No Means Oppresses the Other Party

Furthermore, a Muslim knows that every man lives the destiny Allah wills for him. He is aware that an atheist is an atheist because Allah created him so. Alternatively, he knows that an unbeliever does not believe in Allah because that is what is preordained for him by Allah. Accordingly he truly believes that a member of another religion believes in that religion because Allah wills it so. He approaches these people with compassion, understanding and affection. He wishes them to be free to express their own views, just as how he is free to do so. He wants them to live as they wish and be at ease, just as how he is free himself to fulfill his acts of worship. Surely this does not mean that he should condone immorality or cruelty and simply disregard them. However he does not struggle against them by oppressing the other party, putting pressure upon them, preventing them from speaking, writing and expressing his opinion freely. On the contrary, he carries on his struggle with patience, good words, modesty, affection and respect. As we stated earlier, a Muslim is not responsible for all the people’s guidance except calling them to the true path. It is Allah Who guides a person. A Muslim only calls to the true path but by no means oppresses the other party.
