Answer:

 

Brother apologize

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

My dear and beloved brother in Islam, Allah is our witness, that there is absolutely not even an iota of ill-feeling or resentment in our heart towards our believing brothers and sisters in Islam.  Allah Subhanah has created us as humans, and bestowed upon us our nature that errs; and the Messenger of Allah (saws) gave the synopsis of this nature in a very beautiful hadith:

 

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners (in the sight of Allah) are those who turn to Him and seek repentance.’

 

My dear and beloved brother in Islam, it is we who should be asking for your forgiveness and the forgiveness of Allah Subhanah if anything that we might have said, because of our own shortcomings in knowledge and speech, gave rise to any misunderstanding in this absolutely perfect deen of our Merciful Lord called Islam.

 

May Allah Subhanah accept your and our repentance, and from His Mercy and Grace overlook our faults and forgive us our shortcomings, and save you, us, and all the believers from the torment of that Inevitable Day. 

 

May Allah Subhanah always keep you and your family in the best of emaan, and protect you and us all from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
