On the Call for People to Show Tolerance
Shaikh ʿAbd Al-Ilāh Al-Rifaʿī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Showing tolerance doesn’t mean you allow crossing the limits set by Islām, or [worse], attacking its legislations. Rather, showing tolerance is that you act with forbearance with regard to what is yours [to manage] of wealth, property, or offenses against yourself.
So the first [kind of tolerance, i.e., offenses against Islām] is Allāh’s right which you do not possess! And the second [kind] is a right Allāh has given you choice over, to show tolerance or not.
ليس معنى #التسامح أن تسمح بتجاوز حدود الإسلام بل الاعتداء على تشريعاته
بل التسامح أن تسامح بما تملكه من مال أو عقار أو إساءة لك
فالأول حقٌ لله لا تملكه!
والثاني حقٌ أعطاك الله الخيار فيه لتسامح أو لا— عبد الإله الرفاعي (@alrfaee1433) December 25, 2020
