Sadly, some people speak about religion without sufficient knowledge of it, yet fail to realize that they will be held accountable for every act of misguidance they spread publicly.
Dear sister, do not choose to displease Allah in public. Perhaps Allah wishes to conceal the sins you openly display, yet you continue without care. Remember, this life is temporary. One day, we will all return to Allah, and He will question us about our actions, our words, and what we encouraged others toward.
Shaytan rejoices when people are led away from obedience to Allah and become comfortable with public disobedience. What may seem small today can become heavy on the scale on the Day of Judgment.
May we never become people who normalize sin or call others toward it knowingly or unknowingly. True success is not found in pleasing people while displeasing Allah. True success is in holding firmly to the guidance of Allah, even when the world opposes it.
Oh Allah, protect me, my daughters, and everyone reading this from being misguided after You have guided us. Oh Allah, grant us a good ending and make our final words the shahadah. Oh Allah, protect our sisters and brothers from openly disobeying You without fear or concern. Guide us to what pleases You, forgive our shortcomings, and keep our hearts firm upon Your religion. Amyin.
“And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge…” (Surah Al-Isra 17:36)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Whoever calls to misguidance will bear a burden of sin similar to those who follow him…” — Sahih Muslim
