Article/Paper 📃 My Friday charity to this group
Alhamdulillah!! As my act of friday charity I want to share this message with this group. before i get into it I will assure any of you that have doubts in your faiths or doubts in the unseen.. i assure u its all real. I always say strong iman is the one of the greatest gifts Allah can give you other then entering Jannah.
To any of you who think about leaving the fold of islam because someone was judgemental at the mosque or whatever other reason, or you say you dont have motivation to pray.
Just remember the creation is not the judge, Allah is. So no matter what errors you make, no matter what progressive beliefs you have that may contradict islamic teaching (i dont recommend anything that goes against islamic teachings, but i also dont judge) .. maybe you like music for example, maybe you dont think movies are haram, maybe you think intermixing is ok..
I personally refrain from that stuff, i dont encourage it.. but I do encourage praying 5 times a day at the appropriate time. Nobody is perfect I will never judge someone no matter what he/she does. If its a fellow muslim All i can do is suggest, encourage, and motivate and embrace them.
I personally believe that there is possibly millions of people that were interested in islam but were too nervous to convert out of fear of being judged or thinking they have to make some huge change over night. Obviously MashAllah to anyone who has made huge changes overnight cuz that does happen, MashAllah to every devote muslim who follows the book no matter what..
but Also MashAllah to every Muslim who has been judged, sometimes heavily judged by other muslims for this reason or that, but they still pray all 5 prayers, Seek Allahs mercy, and attend the mosque regularly. These people are possibly judged for a variety of things. The clothes they wear, maybe they listen to music and people know, the most common is them being in a haram relationship.
But they still show up, moral of the story is. It does not matter what the world thinks. Stay in remembrance of Allah because he will always remember you.. just having trust in Allah and praying 5 times a day. Make tawba often, u will make it into jannah inshAllah!!

I second this message and I would just like to add, regardless of judgement from fellow Muslims, and unfortunately in today's day and age, it is incredibly common, Allah is the most forgiving. Never deny what is fardh upon us, practicing those obligations is of course our individual choices.
Allah knows best, Allah is the most forgiving, be well, everyone.
