Question:
May Allah reward you. This is Abu Yahya al-Tamimi from Jeddah. He says: May Allah preserve you, the trials have multiplied these days. So when we resolve to repent, we encounter trials that only Allah knows about. The soul becomes unstable, in a different state every day. We ask for your advice for me, for others, and for the noble listeners.
Answer:
Yes, when the trials come and multiply, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised holding fast to this religion and not compromising on any part of it. He said (peace and blessings be upon him) He said (peace and blessings be upon him): A time will come upon people in which the one who holds fast to his religion is like the one holding a burning coal. It requires patience; it requires steadfastness. And in the end times, Islam will return to being strange. Who said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34:139 O Messenger of Allah? He said: Those who do good when people do evil.

I advise you to fear Allah and to obey and listen, even if a slave is appointed over you. Whoever among you lives will see much disagreement. So hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after me. Hold fast to it and bite down on it with your molars.
أوصيكم بتقوى الله والسمع والطاعة، وإن تأمر عليكم عبد فإنه من يعش منكم فسيرى اختلافا كثيرا، فعليكم بسنتي سنة الخلفاء الراشدين مهديين من بعدي تمسكوا بها، عضوا عليها بالنواجذ،Islam began as something strange, and it will return as something strange, just as it began. Blessed are the strangers. It was said: Who are the strangers?
بدأ الإسلام غريبا وسيعود غريبا كما بدأ فطوبى للغرباء قيل ومن الغرباءwho correct what the people have corrupted
الذين يصلحون ما أفسد الناس
