Time to Stop Watering Down Our Faith
Assalamu alaikum, dear brothers and sisters. I'm writing this as a reminder for myself first, and for you all. We gotta stop compromising on our deen, seriously. The fitna these days is intense. The Prophet (peace be upon him) told us there'd be a time when holding onto faith is like gripping a burning coal. May Allah make it easy for us, ameen. Time's flying by so fast-that's a sign of the Hour-and immodesty is everywhere. Even Muslims are getting caught up in it, not seeing how dangerous it is. Actually, it's like it's being celebrated and chased after. We need to stick together as Muslims, even if it's just within your own home. Allah says, "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones" (Quran 66:6). Hold onto your deen like you'd clutch a ledge if you were about to plummet. I really think the fitna is only gonna get worse, and it'll be tough to follow the deen unless you dive into it fully. Allah says, "O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely" (Quran 2:208). We should gather together, good people with good people. This is a stern warning for me and everyone else. Never disobey Allah, keep the best character, and be patient. "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account" (Quran 39:10). Always remember: our real home is Jannah, if we're true believers. Make that your top goal, live this life without cutting corners. Even if you mess up a thousand times with the worst slip-ups, get back up, ask for forgiveness, and keep striving. NEVER STOP SEEKING FORGIVENESS AFTER A SIN, EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL REGRET, JUST PUSH YOURSELF. And everyone gets what they earn, with no reduction. Surah Al-Ahqaf (46:19): "And for all there are degrees for what they have done, and it is so that He may fully compensate them for their deeds, and they will not be wronged."
