The right path.

Question: If someone is abusing Islam or Allah or Prophet Muhammad in front of us. What Islamic teachings say about that. If the said person is a non-Muslim and he is not in front of us but sending us email with abusive content. Is it become our religious duty to stop him by force, How should we treat such a person. In case we are unable to stop him by force, Is sin come to us? Let me know the answer in the light of Quran and Sunnah.

Answer: The situation was faced by the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and his companions while they were staying at Makkah. Allah, the Almighty has guided us about this situation in the Quran:

وَقَدْ نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ أَنْ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُكْفَرُ بِهَا وَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهَا فَلا تَقْعُدُوا مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ

Already has He sent you Word in the Book, that when ye hear the signs of Allah held in defiance and ridicule, ye are not to sit with them unless they turn to a different theme: if ye did, ye would be like them. (Al Nisa 4:140)
