Be Steadfast

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Allah Almighty says,
إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّـهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ ﴿١٩

Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account. (19)
[Qur'an AleImran 3:19]

The swiftness of this reckoning starts initially soon after death when man passes into the state known as 'barzakh'. But the detailed accounting for one's deeds shall take place on the Day of Judgement when he will have to account for his doings in the minutest detail. The people who denied the truth will discover their worth and the punishment it calls for shall become known to them.

Deviating from Allah’s religion once it has been revealed to us is a grave sin.

يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلوبنا غلى دينك

Ya Muqallibalqulub, thabbit qulubbana 'ala Deenika

O Reverser of hearts, make our hearts firm on the Faith chosen by You. [Prophetic supplication]

Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
