What is the response to family members' objections that Muslims are backward and Europeans are advanced, and that the Islamic punishments of cutting off the hand of a thief and stoning adulterers are considered barbaric?
The ignorance of relatives regarding Islam and their preference for worldly life is attributed to the absence of the leading role of Muslims in cultivating the Earth, even though the glory of Muslims is tied to adhering to the Holy Quran, which contains their honor and elevation. They should be reminded that this world is fleeting, and the hereafter is the eternal abode, and that Islam will return victorious. As for objecting to the boundaries set by Allah, it is either from one who is ignorant or one who is obstinate. A Muslim must submit to the judgments of Allah, which represent the pinnacle of justice and wisdom.
