Q&A: How to Achieve Reconciliation and Reform in Egypt?

Question:

For months now there has been continuous violence in Egypt from killings, arrests, vandalism and destruction on the streets and squares. Normal life has been suspended, and people have been divided into two obvious groups. Mediators from the United States, Europe, and even Russia have appeared in this atmosphere and began to form contacts with Egypt, it is not farfetched that even China may intervene! Similarly some local mediators have intervened, partisan and non-partisan from stakeholders on the inside to attempt mediation and reform …but without reaching a result. It attracted our attention that Hizb ut Tahrir, which is trusted and respected by everybody who knows it, did not intervene, neither for mediation nor for reform or reconciliation. Surely the Messenger’s صلى الله عليه وسلم saying is not unknown to them:

«أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ الصِّيَامِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «إِصْلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ، وَفَسَادُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ الْحَالِقَةُ»

“Shall I not inform you of the highest degree of fast, prayer and charity?” They said: “Yes, oh Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Reconciliation amongst the people, while corruption amongst the people cuts off the rope.”

Is there a reason for the non-interference of the Hizb in mediation or reconciliation or reform? Wa Jazakum Allah Khair.


Answer:

First: First of all, we thank you for your trust in the Hizb and high expectations of it, and ask Allah to guide all of us to the wisest of matters, and Allah Almighty hears and responds.

Indeed, the Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, narrated by Abu Dawood from Umm Darda’ from Abu Darda’ is not unknown to us:

«أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ الصِّيَامِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «إِصْلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ، وَفَسَادُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ الْحَالِقَةُ»

“Shall I not inform you of the highest degree of fast, prayer and charity?” They said: “Yes, oh Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Reconciliation amongst the people, while corruption amongst the people cuts off the rope.”

Nevertheless reconciliation and reform must take place to implement the Shariah, not to implement anything else. Reconciliation and reform do not hold any good if they turned the Haram into Halal, or the Halal into Haram. This is what we were commanded by the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم in his noble Ahadeeth, including:

Abu Dawood reported in his Sunan from Abu Hurayrah who said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الصُّلْحُ جَائِزٌ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ» زَادَ أَحْمَدُ، «إِلَّا صُلْحًا أَحَلَّ حَرَامًا، أَوْ حَرَّمَ حَلَالًا» وَزَادَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى شُرُوطِهِمْ»

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Reconciliation amongst the Muslims is permissible.” And Ahmad added: “Except a reform that permits the Haram or prohibits the Halal.” And Suleiman Bin Dawood added: “And the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The Muslims are bound by their conditions.”

At-Tirmidhi reported in his Sunan from Katheer Bin Abdullah Bin Amr Bin Auf Al-Mazni, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

«الصُّلْحُ جَائِزٌ بَيْنَ المُسْلِمِينَ، إِلَّا صُلْحًا حَرَّمَ حَلَالًا، أَوْ أَحَلَّ حَرَامًا، وَالمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى شُرُوطِهِمْ، إِلَّا شَرْطًا حَرَّمَ حَلَالًا، أَوْ أَحَلَّ حَرَامًا»

“Reconciliation amongst the Muslims is permissible, except a reconciliation that permits the Haram or prohibits the Halal. The Muslims are bound by their conditions, except a condition that prohibits a Halal or permits a Haram.” At-Tirmidhi said: “This is a Hadeeth Hasan Sahih.”

It was also reported by Ibn Hibban in his Saheeh from Abu Hurayrah with the wording:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الصُّلْحُ جَائِزٌ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَّا صُلْحًا أَحَلَّ حَرَامًا أَوْ حَرَّمَ حَلَالًا»

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Reconciliation amongst the Muslims is permissible, except a reconciliation that permits the Haram or prohibits the Halal.”

Second: We have reflected on the issue of the two groups, and what we found out was most astonishing.

We did not find them quarreling to govern the laws of Allah, as if one group was ruling by it and the other was not. Rather both groups did not rule by the Shariah within the former regime nor the later regime!

We did not find them quarreling over the provisions of a Constitution consisting of the Shar’i provisions, rather it is a constitution of man-made law that was invalid under the previous government, and is even more invalid under the current government?

Similarly they do not differ in their stances toward the Jewish entity and the Camp David Accord, which was enforced in the previous government, and is still in effect under the current government? Nor do they quarrel in their opinions about the flow of gas to the Jewish entity, which is flowing to them today just as it did before?

Also they do not differ over the action to take in the Suez Canal towards the passage of ships from the states with whom there is an actual state of warfare, rather these ships pass by it today as they passed by before?

They do not quarrel over the public ownership of oil, gas and metals… which are the right of the Muslims and should be distributed among them …rather they are swelling the pockets of the sharks in the land of Egypt today, just as they did before today?

Finally they do not quarrel over the relations with America, rather they continue without interruption, and their rope is strongly stretched out to them today as it was before today?

Third: We recognize that the people of Egypt, Allah’s Quiver (for arrows) on His earth, will neither gain goodness nor peace as long as one of the two groups drives the army to transform Egypt into a battlefield instead of transforming the land of the enemy into a war zone. And the other team pushes people to take the streets of Egypt as arena for conflict, to win by establishing vicious secular rule, instead making the streets of Egypt the square from which the just Khilafah system emerges.

They do not attain goodness, security or peace. Both groups call for the secular republic and the civil state, casting Islam aside. They call for democracy that legislates without Allah and gives sovereignty to the people rather than the Lord of the people.

Nor will they attain goodness, security or peace, as both groups place a constitution from other than what Allah has sent down from authority. Thereby they leave the constitution of the Lord of the Worlds, in which Allah has revealed provisions for the benefit and goodness of the Ummah:

أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ

“Does He who created not then know? He is the All-Pervading, the All-Aware.”

(Al-Mulk: 14)

They will not attain goodness, security or peace, while the Camp David Accord between the Jewish entity that usurped Palestine and between the former regime and the subsequent regime is still intact, instead of immediately canceling it and throwing it into the dustbin of history.

Further they will not attain goodness while gas is flowing to the Jewish entity, the violator of Palestine rather than cutting them of. The usurper shall not be nourished from his victim’s blood!

They will not attain goodness while public property is flowing into the pockets of the regime instead of being returned to its rightful owners, the great people of Egypt.

They will not attain goodness while the relations with America are intact, and America’s rope extends from Washington to Cairo, instead of cutting it off.

Finally, they will not attain goodness unless Egypt, Allah’s Quiver on earth, returns to be one of the pillars of the Khilafah and its history is repeated: The day that it was liberated from the rule of the Romans… it then expelled the Crusaders from the land of Palestine and around Palestine, and liberated the Muslim countries from the Tatars …Then its path will be completed – Bidhnillah – by liberating Palestine from the Jewish entity, that will be no more than a trace in history.

Fourth: We have studied both groups and found them looking for a solution from the east and west, from home and abroad, mediators from here and there, but they did not find guidance. They are not qualified to find a solution, while the solution they strive for will not produce goodness:

The foreign mediators do not care about Egypt and its people. Does any sane person that possesses cognition and reflection expect a solution from America that contains goodness, when it is America that stands behind the former government, the one before that and the one that followed? America stands behind the killing in the era of the former regime, the one before it and the one that followed, not interested in the number of deaths and the magnitude of devastation. Their only interest is to stabilize their influence in Egypt and to maintain it. Their past and even their present in Iraq and Afghanistan bear witness to that. Does someone like that seek to find a correct, peaceful solution for Egypt and the people of Egypt? Does Obama and his envoy Kerry want good for Egypt and the people of Egypt? These are bound by their interests; they do not want any good for Islam and Muslims.

Does any conscious person, possessor of vision and insight, expect a solution with goodness from Europe? Britain and its agents were behind the abolition of the Khilafah in the year 1342 AH – 1924 CE. It is the sworn enemy of the Khilafah and those who work for it. Britain is behind the ill-fated Balfour Declaration, and a main supporter of the violation of Palestine by the Jews and the displacement of its people, and then the establishment of an entity for the Jews on the land of Palestine, the land of al-Isra’ wa al-Mi’raj, the land of al-Ribat, along with the United States, France and Russia… As for France, on top of being one of the early supporters of the Jewish entity, it has a recent morbid history in the killing of Muslims in Algeria, and even in Mali, which has not yet dried from the blood. As for Russia, its movements in our region after the demise of the Soviet Union are movements in agreement with the United States and its preamble. On top of that, their support of the tyrant of ash-Sham is well-known, as well as their massacres of Muslims in the Caucasus, especially Chechnya, and the destruction of mosques in Kazan, and the arrest of Imams in Tatarstan, even the killing of some of them, and the arrest of the carriers of Islam. Is any good expected from them? As well as China which occupied East Turkistan and leads attacks on the Muslims there. Even if it intervened or mediated, will it bring about any good?

All of these external mediations do not bring along but deadly poison, since they are less concerned with the blood of the people in the land of Egypt as they are concerned with sucking blood and building interests. They are led by America which considers the land of Egypt its major stronghold in the region. Does any sane person expect grapes from the thorny bush? Do Europe’s Ashton, Obama’s Kerry, or any of the foreign countries mentioned, bring along goodness, or even the slightest hint of goodness?

كَيْفَ وَإِنْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ لَا يَرْقُبُوا فِيكُمْ إِلًّا وَلَا ذِمَّةً يُرْضُونَكُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَأْبَى قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

“How indeed! For if they get the upper hand over you, they will respect neither kinship nor treaty. They please you with their mouths but their hearts belie their words. Most of them are deviators.”

(At-Tawba: 8)

Whereas the mediators from the inside are trapped in a vicious circle: They want a solution through what is offered by two groups who wish to maintain the Republican system, and civilian secular rule, and democracy that gives the right of legislation to humans without the Lord of humans, and the sovereignty to the people rather than to the Lord of the people, and releases personal, and religious freedom, as well as the freedom of ownership and opinion, with all that these freedoms drag along from scourge. This is the work of the mediators. They call this group to give up something, and the other group to give up something, and agree on the same system that is the cause of affliction and misery! Which hurts most, is that some of these mediators are Muslims who read in the book of Allah:

وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ

“And establish prayer”

(Al-Baqarah: 43)

Therefore they pray and refuse to abandon prayer. They read another Ayah in the Book of Allah:

وَأَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ

“And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed”

(Al-Ma’ida: 49)

But they give up on this and are “embarrassed” to mention the application of the Hudud (fixed punishments). Panic would enter their hearts if the two groups demanded the Khilafah system, because they fear the wrath of America, Europe, Russia and China. Verily, this is a strange matter!

Fifth: Thus the current mediators from home and abroad will not find a sound, straight solution for the problems of the land of Egypt and its people. Rather there is a single solution. It is that everyone leads with their hearts and all of their energy towards the implementation of the law of Allah in the Khilafah system, as enjoined by Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, in straightforward evidence from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and the consensus of His Companions (ra):

As for the Book: The Almighty said, addressing the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم:

فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ

“So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth.”

(Al-Ma’ida: 48)

And His saying:

وَأَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْك

“And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you.”

(Al-Ma’ida: 49)

In addition to other verses. The address directed at the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم to rule amongst them with what has been revealed by Allah is an address to his صلى الله عليه وسلم Ummah. The underlying concept is for the Ummah to find a ruler after the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم to judge between them as Allah has revealed. The command in speech is a tool of assertiveness, because the content of the command is obligatory. This is an evidence of assertiveness as defined in the Islamic legal methodology (Usul). The ruler that rules with what Allah has revealed among the Muslims after the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم is the Khaleefah. And the respective system of governance is the Khilafah system.

As for the Sunnah: It was narrated from Nafi’ who said: “Abdullah Bin Umar told me: “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say:

«من خلع يداً من طاعة لقي الله يوم القيامة لا حجة له، ومن مات وليس في عنقه بيعة مات ميتة جاهلية»

“Whoever retracts his hand from obedience will meet Allah on the day of resurrection with no argument for himself. And whoever dies without a Bayah in his neck has died a death of Jahiliyyah.” [Reported by Muslim]

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has obliged every Muslim to carry a Bayah in his neck, and described the one who dies without a Bayah in his neck as having died a death of Jahiliyyah, thus indicating the graveness of the sin. The Bayah goes to the Khaleefah after the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, to no one else.

Muslim narrated from Al-A’raj from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who said:

«إنما الإمام جُنة يُقاتَل من ورائه ويُتقى به»

“The Imam is a shield. From behind him you fight and behind him you find protection.”

Further, Muslim narrated from Abu Hazim who said: “I lived with Abu Hurayrah for five years, and heard him speaking of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, who said:

«كانت بنو إسرائيل تسوسهم الأنبياء، كلما هلك نبي خلفه نبي، وإنه لا نبي بعدي، وستكون خلفاء فتكثر، قالوا فما تأمرنا؟ قال: فُوا ببيعة الأول فالأول، وأعطوهم حقهم، فإن الله سائلهم عما استرعاهم»

“Bani Israel were led by the Prophets. Whenever a Prophet perished, another Prophet followed him. There is no Prophet after me, but there will be Khulafa’ who will increase in number. They said: ‘What do you order us?’ He said: ‘Obey the one who is given the Bayah first, and give them their right. For Allah will ask them about what He placed under their guardianship.'”

These Ahadeeth contain a description of the Khaleefah as a shield, i.e. a protection. These Ahadeeth also contain the fact that the ones who lead the Muslims are the Khulafa’. Thereby these Ahadeeth state a request for their establishment.

As for the Consensus of the Companions: They (ra) agreed on the necessity of the establishment of a Khaleefah to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم after his death. The consensus of the companions over the establishment of a Khaleefah was confirmed by the delayed burial of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم after his death, and their best effort to appoint a Khaleefah to him, although the burial of the dead after his death is an obligation. The companions who had to engage in the processing of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his burial, a part of them worked for the appointment of the Khaleefah, while the other part took care of the burial of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The other companions remained silent over this effort, and participated in delaying the burial for two nights although they would have been able to object and hold the burial. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم died Monday morning, and remained without burial through Tuesday night and Tuesday, when Abu Bakr (ra) was given the Bayah. Then the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was buried in the middle of the night, in the night to Wednesday. Therefore the burial was delayed for two nights and Abu Bakr was given the Bayah before the burial of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Hence there was a consensus on the priority of engaging in the appointment of the Khaleefah over the burial of the dead, which is evidence for the enormity of the obligation to appoint a Khaleefah.

Thus, the duty of Muslims when there is no ruler who rules by Islam, The Khalifah, is to exert their effort to find one. As he is the one who implements the proscribed punishments (hudood) that are made obligatory by Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, which is a great obligation that brings goodness for the Ummah and straightening it. Directed by Ibn Majah in his Sunan Abu Hurayrah said: RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

«حَدٌّ يُعْمَلُ بِهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ، خَيْرٌ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَنْ يُمْطَرُوا أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا»

“Carrying out a proscribed punishment (hadd) on the earth is better than forty days of rain”.

This is the solution to the problems of Egypt and the Muslim countries, it brings the good for them and the impact of this goodness spreads to the world.

Sixth: We have been watching the events and saddened to see blood and destruction, and it was more saddening that the parties are all looking for a solution everywhere except in Islam, which they believe in and they pray and fast and worship Allah!

Since we do not see a solution, except that the parties accept the Khilafah system, and because those parties were distancing themselves from the Khilafah system and from the people working for it’s return, we feared that our reform between the two sides, by offering the Khilafah system, will be like a call in the air or blowing in the ashes. So we chose to anticipate and to stay away, perhaps Allah will bring about after that a different matter.

This is what prevented us from intervention. Despite of our communications with both teams, the leaders of the two teams are not accepting the Khilafah and its people, and their hearts are fearful to mention the Khilafah for fear of provoking the West, as they say. So if this is their stand, how can we engage in mediation or reconciliation between them?

We are prepared to exert efforts in the reconciliation between them, but to bring them on the Khilafah system. If we learn from the two teams, that they are embarking on arbitrating Allah’s law, and are ready to announce the Khilafah, and raise the banner, the banner of Alokab, the banner of “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah”, then we will not spare any effort in so. We will be prepared to mediate between the two teams to bring them on a single system, that is the Khilafah system. We are able, by Allah’s will, to put it in place, in terms of the procedures for the establishment of the Khilafah, and its stability, security and safety. As well as the return of Egypt, Kenana of Allah in His land, again powerful by its Lord, and degnified by it’s religion. Egypt that eliminates the enemies of Allah, and strikes anyone who wants evil to Islam and Muslims and the people of the dhimma in it’s land.

We know what we say, and we mean what we say, and anyone who knows Hizb ut Tahrir, its past and present confirms this, and then Allah will assist.

This is how reconciliation and reform should be, and this is the way we follow. Perhaps the two teams, after the humbleness and misery that they suffered from, realize that the right solution to the problems of the Ummah is the Khilafah system. It is the system of the Lord of the worlds, the Most Knowing and the Wisest for what amends His servants in the world and the Hereafter. The approval of the two teams on that will perhaps be the cause for the return of the glorious history of this Ummah that Allah described as:

كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ

“You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah”

(Ali-Imran: 110)

So that the Khilafah is restored once again, and Islam and its people are honored, and the Kufr and its people are humiliated, and the goodness spread throughout the world, and that is not difficult for Allah.

In conclusion, we realize that someone will describe us as “They are people who dream”, and another will describe us as “Their religion has deluded them”, and a third one will say, “We live in a world that is controlled by America and the West”. While a fourth will conclude saying, “The Khilafah was ended and will not return”

But at the same time we realize that Allah the Almighty says:

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

“Allah has promised those of you who have iman and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their deen with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. ‘They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.’ Any who are kafir after that, such people are deviators.”

(An-Nur, 24:55)

We also realize that the Prophet (swa) says as narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawood Al-Tayaalisi from Hudhayfah ibnu al-Yaman, who said: RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

«إِنَّكُمْ فِي النُّبُوَّةِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ، فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا عَاضًّا، فَيَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ جَبْرِيَّةً، فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ».

“Prophethood will last among you for as long as Allah wills. Then Allah will take it away. Then it will be (followed by) a khilafah Rashida (rightly guided) on the pattern of Prophethood. It will remain for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will take it away. Afterwards there will be a hereditary leadership which will remain for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if He wishes. Afterwards there will be biting oppression, and it will last for as long as Allah wishes, then He will liftit if He wishes then there will be a Khilafah Rashida according to the ways of the Prophethood. Then he kept silent”.

Every sane person with heart, and a possessor of vision and insight realizes that the words of those is rejected and void, and has no value in the eyes of the wise men. While the words of Allah the Almighty and the words of His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم is the truth and that it will be.

فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلَالُ فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ

“and what is there after truth except misguidance? So how have you been distracted?”

(Yunus: 32)

Finally, the conclusion is that we watch the situation and communicate what we can with both parties perhaps Allah will bring about after that a different matter.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ مُحْسِنُونَ

“Allah is with those who have taqwa of Him and with those who are good-doers.”

(An-nahl: 128)

وَنُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ

“We desired to show kindness to those who were oppressed in the land and to make them leaders and make them inheritors”

(Al-Qasas: 5)

وَاللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

“Allah is in control of His affair. However, most of mankind do not know.”

(Yusuf, 12:21)
