Fighting the Hypocrites is not Like Fighting the Disbelievers


Question :

What is the best way to defend Islam against those who are born Muslims but when they grow up become secular or adopt other precepts that go against Islam?


Answer:

It is an obligation for the Islamic nation to counter every weapon pointed at them with what is suitable for each weapon. We can neutralize those who fight Islam with their ideas and speeches by exposing the falsehood they follow by logical arguments supported by Shari'ah evidences.

Taking necessary economic steps according to Islamic principles to counteract those who try to wage war against Islam economically. And physical weapons should be used against those who attack us physically. Allâh Almighty said:
"O Prophet! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell- and worst indeed is that destination. "

And it is well known that the Jihad against the hypocrites is not like the Jihad against the disbelievers, because Jihad against hypocrites is with knowledge and elucidation, while Jihad against the disbelievers is with the sword and arrow.
