Don’t Compromise Your Religion<\/strong><\/h1>\nAs we get ready for the holiday season and everyone receives invitations for parties \u2013 please watch this reminder, or read below.<\/span><\/i>\n\nWhen it comes to parties, where there is alcohol, mixing or anything that could displease Allah, stay away from them. Do not feel pressured by others.\u00a0Don’t compromise your religion.<\/em>\u00a0As soon as you\u2019re there, the environment will affect you one way or the other. We were created to only please and worship Allah, so do not worry and stress about what others might think of you.<\/span>\n
Do not please the creation by displeasing the creator<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\nThis may seem hard, especially for those living in the west. Remember your reward, remember Jannah. The harder it seems to stay away from haram, the more reward you will receive. Do not listen to the whispers of shaytaan and stay firm in your beliefs. Don’t compromise your religion.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nTo remain steadfast in your religion, is to adhere to its rules and guidelines. If you are finding it difficult to stay firm in your belief, make dua to Allah. Everyday, when we pray, we read Surat Al Fatihah (The Opener) at least 17 times a day. In it, we ask God to guide us:<\/span>\n
\u201cGuide us to the straight path .\u201d <\/span><\/em>\n\n(Quran, 1:6).<\/span><\/blockquote>\nOther duas mentioned in the Quran<\/span>:<\/span>\n
“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.\u201d<\/em> <\/span>\n\n(Quran, 3:8).<\/span>\n\n“…Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people.” <\/span><\/em>\n\n(Quran, 2:250).<\/span><\/blockquote>\nWe must also study the history within our religion, and see how the great scholars, leaders, prophets and messengers experienced the hardest of trails, yet were able to maintain steadfast in their belief and didn’t compromise their religion, so why compromise your religion?\u00a0<\/span>\n\nSurround yourself with those who will remind you of Allah, and help you stay steadfast.<\/span>\n\nPlace your trust in Allah, and remember your rewards. Also, remember that allah has promised us that with every hardship, there will be ease:<\/span>\n
\u201cFor indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.\u201d<\/em><\/span>\n\n (Quran, 94:5-6).<\/span><\/blockquote>\nDON’T COMPROMISE YOUR RELIGION!!\n\nMay Allah swt help us remain steadfast and firm in our belief.
