Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What are the matters that help one remain firm on the path of righteousness in religion?
Answer:
The most important matters are supplication: one should call upon Allah to keep him firm upon the religion. He should also avoid doubtful matters, whether listening to them, reading them, or looking at them as they are displayed on screens; he should avoid them and stay away from them so that they do not affect him, and so that he remains firm upon his religion. He should increase in the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and in the recitation of the Qur'an. All of this is what Allah uses to firm up sincere faith; Allah firms up faith through it,[Ibrahim 14:27]. Yes.

Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter. And Allah sends astray the wrongdoers.
يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ وَيُضِلُّ اللَّهُ الظَّالِمِينَ
