No matter where they may be, believers never make concessions about
their faith, since every believer is a representative of Allah and His
religion.
For a believer who is conscious of this fact and the responsibility it
entails, it cannot be fitting for him to remain in an environment
where people talk against Allah and His religion.
In the Qur'an Allah forbids such an attitude:
It has been sent down toyou in the Book that when you hear Allah's
Signs being rejected andmocked at by people, you must not sit with
them till they start talking of other things. Ifyou do, you are just
the same as them. Allah will gather all the hypocrites and unbelievers
into Hell. (Surat an-Nisa; 140)
The main attribute of the members of ignorantsocieties is their
failure to appreciate Allah's majesty and their heedlessness of
Allah's superior power.
With the arrogance they derive from their unthinking state,
unbelievers speak against Allah and His religion. It may be in theform
of an explicit assault or merely implications or ignorant comments
about religion in general.
In any case, it is obligatory for a believer to leave that place if he
is unable to intervene. Remaining oblivious to itand being a member of
such a group is unlawful for a believer. Allah reveals this fact in
another verse in the Qur'an:
When you see people engrossed in mockery ofOur Signs, turn from them
until they start to talk of other things. And if Satan should ever
cause you to forget, once you remember, do not stay sitting with the
wrongdoers. (Surat al-An'am; 68)
