“Everyone is doing it”
“Everyone is doing it”! This is a sad statement that we often hear when
you advise a Muslim on something wrong he is doing. Some of us have weak Iman
and are quick to give in without a fight. To stand firm when you are right and
not to compromise is easy only when you have knowledge and you don’t listen to
your whims and desires. When others sin, this doesn’t give you the right to sin
as well! If they go to hell, would you like to be with them? In 9:118, Allah
tells us about three companions who stayed behind in the battle of Tabouk
for no legitimate reason. The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam
excommunicated them and no one was allowed to speak to them. This went on for
more than 50 days until Allah accepted their repentance. One sin resulted in
banning people from talking to them. What do you think Allah will do to you for
lagging behind all of your life? Today, the choice is yours but tomorrow, you
will pay the price of such a choice and it wouldn’t help that others will pay
as well! Be with Allah and stand tall for Allah will be with you.
