The Factors That Help One Remain Firm on the Sunnah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What are the factors that help one remain firm on the Sunnah?
Answer:
The first thing is to ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic. You say, “O Turner of hearts and eyes, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.” The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say this, and he was protected (peace and blessings be upon him), yet he did not feel secure that Allah the Exalted might change his heart, so he would say, “O Turner of hearts and eyes, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.” Supplication is the first thing. The second is learning. Learn beneficial knowledge by which you distinguish truth from falsehood, guidance from misguidance, and error from correctness. Learn from the people of knowledge, in the schools of knowledge and the gatherings of knowledge. Like this. Yes.
