Holding Fast to the Religion While People Are Lax
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him) says regarding the obligation of taking an oath by Allah, and so on. However, lying has become widespread, along with coercion, and the prevalence of people, and the afflicted have spread with it. How do we protect ourselves from the papers?
Answer:
Your soul, my brother, is your responsibility; you must look after yourself and ask Allah for guidance for the people. As for saying that this is what the people are doing, or being careless in this matter by saying, “Because the people are doing it, I cannot go against the people,” this is not permissible for you. You must fear Allah in yourself and advise others. Yes.
