Brothers and sisters do you repel evil with good, or with evil?

Question

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

And good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with that which is best. And lo, he, between whom and thyself was enmity, will become as though he were a warm friend.

Repel evil with that which is best. We know very well what they allege. (23:96)

These will be given their reward twice, for they have been steadfast, and they repel evil with good, and spend out of what We have given them. (28:55)

And those who persevere in seeking the favour of their Lord, and observe Prayer, and spend out of that with which We have provided them, secretly and openly, and repel evil with good. It is these who shall have the best reward of the final abode - (13:22)

It may be that Allah will bring about love between you and those of them with whom you are now at enmity, and Allah is All-Powerful; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful. (60:7)

Answer 3

Sallam brother Muhammad, i apologies for the two.  as the verse says about them>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And if We pleased, We would have exalted him thereby; but he inclined to the earth and followed his evil desires. His case, therefore, is like the case of a thirsty dog; if thou drive him away, he hangs out his tongue and if thou leave him, he hangs out his tongue. Such is the case of the people who disbelieve in Our Signs. So relate to them this narrative that they may reflect. (7:176)

May Allah forgive me if i am wrong, but i am sure they are devils in human form.

And even if We send down unto them angels, and the dead speak to them, and We gather to them all things face to face, they would not believe, unless God enforced His Will. But most of them are ignorant.

(Quran 6:111)

As for your question this is sufficiant as an answer.

And the true servants of the Gracious God are those who walk on the earth humbly and when the ignorant address them, they avoid them gracefully by saying, 'Peace!' (25:63 Quran)

Answer 5

FTL said it!

Answer 6

Jazkallah Khyr for the good advice. Also let's follow one of the greater rule

'Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; but turn away from the ignorant. (Sura Al-A'raf: Verse 199).

Here you just quoted verses from Holy Quran and I am sorry how some behave badly here. So just leave the ignorants. Even if we disagree in any matters, the way of preaching is never through insults and arguments. It is when we forsook the best examples of Prophets (pbut), comes instead the corrupted ways of politicians, which is through arguments, debate, self praising, insulting the opponent, proving ourself right and all others wrong.

Yes, Ramadan Mubarak and may Allah guide us all to the path of Muhammad (s)

Answer 7

With goodand patience.

Answer 8

You got A+ in Taqiyya! do not think that hiding behind Quraan will hide the truth about you! you are just your g*y scholar how used Quraan to tell a g*y story of Abu Nuwwas!

safiy: The Hadith talks about MUSLIMS! Muslims who believe in Tawheed and La Ilah Illa Allah! not the 12th g*y zombie worshipers!

Muhammed: keep acting! you'll never fool me! btw I am not your brother! those who consider Mu'awiyah Radi Allah Anh Kaffir (like yourself) are Sheitan's brothers!

Answer 9

Evil begets evil, good repels evil.

Forcing people to believe in only one religion is just as evil as those having no religion.

Killing people who disagree with your religious beliefs is just as evil as letting those with no religious beliefs dwindle in disbelief.

Forcing women to be slaves to their husbands is just as evil as prostitution.

Denying education to an entire population is just as evil as handing them guns and using uneducated people as pawns in a power trip.

Fix the problems among your own, then I will listen to you.
