Nasihah (Advice): Islam will reach everywhere
Sayyiduna Tamim Daari Radiyallahu Anhu reported that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,“This matter (Islam) will certainly reach every place that is reached by the night and day i.e. everywhere. Allah will not leave a house or residence but that Allah will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honourable will be honoured and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honour the honourable with Islam and he will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief.” [Musnad Ahmad]

Question and Answer:
- Q. I have a worker. She says she is Muslim and said she went to classes to the Musjid. But she believes all other religions are correct in their way. Is it permissible to give zakat to her?
(Question published as received)
- It is not permissible to give her Zakaat. She is not yet a Muslim until she believes that only one religion is correct and that is Islam. This is a most essential belief in Islam.
Allah Ta’ala states, “Whoever seeks a faith other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.” (Quran 3/85)
She should be advised and guided accordingly.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
