Wa Yuzakihem, purified you.
Brothers and sisters please for the love of Allah,
Keep away from wrong and Haram.
Even if you're not sure if something is Haram.
And you have a
general knowledge that people are saying this is bad
and you don't know, it is wiser to avoid it until you know.
What if they are right?
but then you're already infected with it, you already submerged in it.
How are you gonna get out?
You might say well I don't know if something is Haram or Halal?
Okay then let me be cautionary. Then Shaitan is whispering in our ears: Yeah but then you are gonna become fanatical.
Then you can't do anything. You are gonna be stuck in your house.
Imam Ali (a) says stop.
How much has Allah forbidden us?
Compared to what he has allowed us?
Put it on the scale - you can't. What is allowed is too great. Focus on what is allowed.
Don't make a big deal about what is forbidden.
and when Allah forbids you something, truly, like in the Quran: alcohol,
drugs, pork, gambling.
These are not Allah giving me these laws to entertain me or to make my life
difficult
It is clear by any standards - Even an alcoholic will tell you that it is
destructive. A gambler will tell you it is destructive - Period.
It's that simple
And when Allah says keep away from it, it is for my benefit.
At the end of the day why do I need religion otherwise?
I can be an atheist and live just as well.
Allah say I have sent you morals as your best role model - the Prophet and his family,
So that you follow the best morals so you are
the best in the community. That's what it's all about!
