Sin is not to do Allah’s commandments and not to abstain from His prohibitions. Commandments and prohibitions are for Muslims, for those who have îmân. He has not honoured those who have no îmân, disbelievers, with commanding them or making them worship. Like animals, they do what they wish, and it is not a sin. They are not tormented in the world for not worshipping, for sinning; they get every kind of blessing; they obtain what they wish and work for. Only, the cruel ones, those who torment creatures, get their deserts in the world. Disbelievers have been commanded one thing only, they have been asked to do one thing only. This one thing is having îmân, becoming Muslim. Disobeying this one command, disbelievers have committed only one crime. Yet, it is the gravest crime. The penalty for the crime is very great, very bitter and endless. There cannot be such a penalty in the world. This endless penalty will be given to them in the next world, in Hell.

Thousands of precious books have been written on the tenets of the Islamic faith and its commands and prohibitions, and many of them have been translated into foreign languages and distributed to every country. On the other hand, ill-willed and short-sighted people have continuously attacked the useful, bountiful and lightsome rules of Islam and have striven to blemish and change it and to deceive Muslims.

It is still seen with gratitude that in almost every country scholars of Islam are striving to disseminate and defend this path. Unsuitable speeches and articles, however, are still being witnessed, which are claimed to have been taken from – but out of misunderstanding of – the Qur’ân al-karîm and the hadîth ash-sherîf by a few people who have not read or understood the books by the ’ulamâ’ of Ahl as-Sunna. Yet these speeches and articles are ineffective against the firm îmân of Muslims (brothers)(this applies to Muslim brothers and sisters) and have no influence, but indicate the ignorance of their agents.
