Q: Finally, we would like to hear some advice from you for the Muslims on this occasion.
A: I commend my Muslim brothers to have Taqwa (fearing Allah as He should be feared) in Allah in every affair, and holdfast to His Religion, and fear Him, the Glorified and Exalted wherever they are. They should follow Him, and judge themselves in order for them not to commit what Allah has forbidden them to do. I commend them to help one another in AlBirr and Taqwa (fearing Allah as He should be feared), and advise
and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (AlMa`ruf) which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (AlMunkar) which Allah has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the suffering, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad), no matter where they may be. I also commend them to gain knowledge of the religion, attend Islamic lectures, and ask the scholars. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said in the Sahih (authentic) Hadith: The one for whom Allah wishes goodness He will make him understand the religion. He (peace be upon him) also said: He who treads a path seeking knowledge, Allah will facilitate for him a path to Paradise. So learning the religion by asking is of the most important matters.
I ask Allah the Exalted with His Names and great Attributes, to grant success to the Muslims no matter wherever they are, and improve their rulers and leaders, and to guide everyone to His Straight Path. And to help the leaders and their associates and their people to rule by the rulings of the Shari`ah (Islamic law), be ruled by it and adhere to it and advise others with it, and be warned of those who go against it. Allah is the AllHearer, EverNear. May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
