Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the validity of the saying: “Everything, when it reaches its peak, declines, except for faith in the heart of the Muslim”?
Answer:
Yes, “Everything of the matters of this world, when it reaches its peak, declines, so let no one be deceived by the sweetness of life.” This is from a poem by Salih al-Rundi in Andalusia when this poem was composed, and it is a good, sound poem. So, everything of the matters of this world, when it reaches its peak, is subject to decline. As for faith, this is among the matters of the Hereafter. This does not decline; when it reaches its peak, it does not decline except through sins. Faith decreases through sins. So, if one is free from sins, then his faith remains in its perfection. Yes.
