An example of when the
people give importance to the matters of the Dunya over the matters of the
`Aakhirah:
When someone says:
“Take what is good and
leave the evil” in a person,
It actually means:
“You can drink water
out of a dirty cup.”
Oh, so all of a sudden we
don’t want to drink water from a cup having some filth in it, but we can take
`Aqeedah from a person who is himself confused or not clear in his `Aqeedah and
Manhaj?
We are afraid of what will
harm the body but not of what will harm the soul!
Moreover, how do we expect
our brothers and sisters to differentiate between right and wrong, when they
have just started learning their Deen? Even SOME of those who have read major
books of `Aqeedah sometimes get confused about an issue, so how about those who
have just started, when they have not even read the basic books like Kitaab
al-Tawheed, Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and others? Do we want them to have a shaky
foundation and confused `Aqeedah?
Note: as for the Hadeeth
about Aayat al-Kursi, that whoever recites it before going to sleep, then an
Angel will come for his protection; we do not take it because Shaitaan said so.
Rather, we only accept it because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم affirmed it.
﴿قُلْ هَـٰذِهِ سَبِيلِي
أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّـهِ ۚ
عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي ۖ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّـهِ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ﴾
{Say (O
Muhammad): “This is my way; I invite unto Allaah with sure knowledge, I and
whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Allaah i.e. to the Oneness of
Allaah - Islaamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge. And Glorified and Exalted be
Allaah (above all that they associate as partners with Him). And I am not of
the Mushrikoon.”} [Surah Yusuf (12): 108]
If the science teacher of your children is gay, then remember, he will be teaching them more than science. He would be exposing them to all sorts of evil. He will have an open opportunity to program (brainwash) them and make them inclined towards homosexuality and other evils. Children are innocent, they learn what they are taught. So as a result, even if the children don't practice it, they will always have a soft corner for gay people because of the seed that has been planted.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly, when a novice person takes knowledge from the Soofees, Jahmees, and other deviant sects, they will plant seeds of doubts and confusion in his mind without he ever noticing the approaching danger.
And many a fool thinks himself to be wise.
Indeed the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝ A man follows the religion of his friend. So each one should consider whom he makes his friend.”
