Establish yourself upon certainty, so that you may witness the promise of God as a true reality on the near horizon… and guide your life toward that magnificent vision. Do not let the distractions of the road or the temptations of this world divert you from it.

One of the most underestimated matters in our time is abandoning a fellow Muslim—something that the early generations regarded as extremely serious. Asma bint Yazid (may God be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever defends the honor of his brother against backbiting, it is a right upon God to free him from the Fire.” (Reported by Ahmad and al-Tabarani; authenticated by al-Albani)

It is entirely understandable that a person may admire a certain figure, group, or leader—being moved by their qualities and virtues, praising their positions and choices as acts of heroism or unmatched brilliance. This is part of human nature, and it can even be a force for good when placed in its proper context. However, the real danger begins when this admiration turns into a standard that is placed above the standard of the Shariah—when it rises above love for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ, even if one claims otherwise.

Once Sheikh: Ahmad Deedat, the great Muslim scholar, visited Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and narrated one of his experiences of life. He said once he happened to take a group of Christians & Jews to visit a mosque in Durban, South Africa. When they entered the mosque Deedat not only took off his shoes but requested the group also to follow him, so all of them took off their shoes.

Recently, a troubling claim has been circulating: that certain writings on Islamic rulings may push readers toward atheism, on the grounds that they are “too strict” or present ideas that feel heavy upon the soul. In reality, this claim does not stop at mere criticism; it opens a wide door to confusion and a flawed understanding of the very nature of faith itself.

The disease of fanaticism is a serious intellectual and moral affliction. It requires careful study to uncover its hidden causes and subtle aspects that may not be immediately visible, in addition to its profound effects on thought and practice—and even on the rights of Muslims and the correct understanding of the Sharia of Allah تعالى.

Question: How can my emergence from Ramadan be different from every other year? How do I maintain my level of worship after Ramadan? How can I ensure that the state of my heart does not revert to what it was before? I fear becoming like the one who breaks her spinning after weaving it with strength.

One of the most beautiful things Ramadan cultivates in the soul is a love for prayer. It is as if there is a profound and remarkable connection between fasting and prayer—two عظيمة obligations and foundational pillars of Islam that reinforce and strengthen one another.

The Muslim Ummah today endures the darkest era it has ever known throughout its history. I do not exaggerate when I say that it is no less dire than the calamity of the Mongols (Tatars), for the peril threatening its aspirations for revival is no longer confined to an external enemy that invades, pillages, and sheds blood. Rather, the danger has evolved into a disease of defeatism and feeble resolve, which has insidiously crept into the hearts of its own people, spreading like an infection and finding a nurturing ground.
