Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)

Another element in the verse concerns not sitting down with
them "till they start talking of other things." Therefore, these people
may always be in a Muslim's immediate vicinity and have constant
dealings with him. So once they start speaking of other matters he
can continue to enjoy close relations with them.

This means that Muslims are not expected to resort to the savage
method cited above. They must depart from them when they speak

improperly, but tell them the truth so long as they heed advice.
Another piece of evidence showing how these fabricated

hadiths conflict with the Qur'an is the "prevention of repentance."
God calls on people to repent on all subjects in the Qur'an. He fre-
quently states in verses that repentance is a matter between the per-
son concerned and God and that God is All-forgiving and Compas-
sionate. Those who repent are frequently praised in the Qur'an. So

how can a person be prevented from repenting? How can someone
be prevented from seeking God's forgiveness? How can people
ignore our Lord's verse that reads, "… He is the Ever-Returning, the
Most Merciful." (Qur'an, 2:37) and deprive others of the right to feel
regret and seek God's forgiveness?

Nobody has any such right, of course.

In another verse our Lord reveals:

... except for those who repent and put things [themselves and
others] right and make things [what is sent down] clear. I turn

towards them. I am the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful.
(Qur'an, 2:160)
Those people who foolishly deny the fact that God is "the Most
Merciful" and seek to impose their own fabricated hadiths on the
subject are acting in open contravention of the Qur'an.
