Praying for the Enemies of Islam

Question
What is the ruling on praying for those who spread misguided or heretical ideas, and what do we respond to those who say to leave creation to the Creator and not judge people?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is preferable to pray for the bearers of misguided or unbelieving thoughts to be guided, so that they may then be for Islam, not against it. And God knows best.
