The Reverend Abraham Bham has issued a statement in which he appeals to Muslims to pray for an ailing 'Muslim' politician.

Question

The Reverend Abraham Bham has issued a statement in which he appeals to Muslims to pray for an ailing 'Muslim' politician. He lauded many accolades on the politician. Is it proper to make dua for the politician? Please comment on the statement.

Answer

There is no benefit in commenting on the statements of non -Muslims. This reverend is a lost soul who does not know to which religion he belongs. It is not permissible to make dua for the politician. However, there is one dua which is permissible. Supplicate that Allah Ta'ala grants him Imaan as well as for all other non-Muslims. Islam came for all mankind. The only dua permissible for non-Muslims, is the dua for Imaan. The reverend's statement in Shar'i terms is bunkum.
