Duties
towards Muslim minorities
Question:
What are the most important duties of Islaamic establishments
and governments towards Muslim minorities living in non-Islaamic
countries?
Response:
The most important duties for the Muslims towards those minorities
is to help them establish Islaam in themselves and help them
in their work of inviting to Islaam. They must also send to
them whoever can assist them in achieving this and ask them
to send people to Islaamic countries to learn knowledge. There
should be, therefore, an exchange of people between those
Muslim minorities and the Muslim societies in order to activate
them and help them in all their affairs. It is also for the
Muslim minorities to make their situation known to the rest
of the Muslims in order that they are made fully aware of
them. it is often the case that many Muslims are completely
unaware of the Muslim minorities and it is therefore imperative
that their situation be brought to light and clarified.
All Praise is due to Allaah and may Allaah send His Most Perfect
Peace and Blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family
and his Companions.
