Commentary

Using a kind and gentle method in preaching Islam is very useful. But being lenient in the matter of truth is similar to the acceptance of falsehood. On the other hand, adopting a strict stand in matters which the Shari'ah itself approves easiness is a mistake, and insisting on it is a further mistake.
