The Cure for the Fear of Relapse and Deprivation After Circumambulation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Among the doubts that Satan casts into the hearts of some young people who love the people of good and wish to walk with them is this: that there are people who took this path and then relapsed from it, so they fear that what happened to those people might happen to them. What is your guidance regarding such a matter?
Our guidance is that this is a mistake, and that a person must worship Allah the Mighty and Majestic and adhere to the religion of Allah, and not be superstitious. As for those who relapsed, may Allah protect us from that, there are reasons for their relapse.Among them: Faith had not become firmly established in their hearts. Had faith become firmly established in their hearts, they would not have relapsed; for when the joy of faith mingles with the hearts, nothing affects them, as Herakles said to Abu Sufyan.
And this person who wants to adhere should remain steadfast in faith, leave off the company of the people of evil, stay away from them, keep the company of the people of good, and ask Allah for steadfastness.
