The blessing of [having/believing in] the Islamic religion is like any other blessing: if you are grateful [for it] it will increase, become established and firm, and if you are thankless it will decrease or disappear.

Sins cause harm and repentance removes the cause.

The importance of Salaah in Islaam is so great that even sitting and waiting for Salaah is considered worship itself!

Ibn Kathir says in his Tafsir: “A characteristic of the dunya is that it flees from the one who chases her, and it chases the one who flees from her.

How many Muslims have been killed due to ignorant adventures which have angered the Kufār, who have been stronger than them in such instances and have led to death, displacement and destruction - la hawla walā qūwata ilā bīllah! They also claim that such ventures are Jihād when they are not Jihād because the conditions of Jihād have neither been met nor have the pillars been achieved. Therefore, such ventures are not Jihād, rather they are transgressive actions which Allāh does not command to do.

Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (رحمه الله) said:

“All praise is due to Allaah who, in every age and interval between the Prophets, raises up a group from the people of knowledge, who call the misguided to guidance, patiently bearing ill-treatment and harm. With the Book of Allaah they give life to the dead and with the Light of Allaah they give sight to the blind. How many a person killed by Iblees (the Devil) they have revived. How beautiful their effect has been upon the people, and how vile the people have been towards them. They expel from the Book of Allaah the alterations of those going beyond bounds, the false claims of the liars and the false interpretations of the ignorant-ones – those who uphold the banner of innovation and let loose the trials and discords; who upon the Book, oppose the Book and agree upon opposing the Book. They speak about Allaah and his Book without knowledge, argue about what is ambiguous in the Book, and deceive the ignorant ones with such ambiguities. We seek refuge in Allaah from the trials of the misguided ones.”
