In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Milestones on the path to stability
By His Eminence Sheikh Dr. Fayez bin Hussein Al-Salah
Introduction
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
I bear witness that there is no god but God, the clear truth
I bear witness that Muhammad is His true and faithful servant and Messenger
May God bless him and his family and companions
And whoever follows them in goodness until the Day of Judgment
As for after
Steadfastness in religion is the requirement of every sincere Muslim
And the ultimate goal of every worshiper is success
And the religion of the prophets, messengers, saints, and righteous people
There is a dire need for it at all times
Especially in a time when there are a lot of people falling off the road
From the general public and their private ones
Since that was the case
This was the brief message
A reminder for me and my Muslim brothers on the road
And I named it
Milestones on the path to stability
And I made it into two requirements
The first is the reality of consistency and its importance
The second requirement is regarding means of stability
In twenty full means
I ask God to make us steadfast in His religion until we meet Him
Our last supplication is: Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds
The first requirement
The truth and importance of consistency
Constancy is permanence and continuity
The firmness and durability of a thing is connected to what it is attached to or is based on
The truth about steadfastness is being straight on the path
Al-Saadi said in Tayseer Al-Latif Al-Mannan
Integrity is the necessity of the straight path
That the servant is steadfast in his faith in God
And performing his duties and leaving behind his forbidden things
Keep doing that
Repentant of what he violated her rights
That's why he said
So be upright to him and ask for his forgiveness
Any of your mistakes in integrity
The Muslim must pay
If he is not able to do so, then approach
If it is removed from the approach
All that remains is neglect and loss
And in the two Sahihs on the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her
On the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said
They paid, they approached, and they gave good news
No one whose deeds will enter Paradise will enter Paradise
He said
Neither do you, O Messenger of God
He said
Neither do I
Unless God showers me with His mercy
And know that the most beloved work to God is to do it consistently, even if it is small
God Almighty has commanded His faithful servants
By steadfastness in this religion until death
God Almighty said
And worship your Lord until certainty comes to you
And he said
O you who have believed, fear God as He should be feared
And do not die unless you are Muslims
And the Almighty said
So be upright as you are commanded, and whoever repents with you, and do not deceive him
He sees what you do
And he said
Therefore, pray and be upright as you have been commanded
Do not follow their desires
And say, “I believe in what God has revealed of the Book.”
And I was commanded to be fair among you
God is our Lord and your Lord
We have our deeds and you have your deeds
There is no argument between us and you
God brings us together and to Him is our destiny
And whoever strives himself to be straight on the path
God Almighty will not waste it
As God said
Those who said, “Our Lord is God,” and then remained steadfast
They have no fear, nor do they grieve
Those are the companions of Paradise
He said that those who said, “Our Lord is God,” then remained steadfast
Angels descend upon them
Not to be afraid and not to be cautious
They have no fear, nor do they grieve
Those are the companions of Paradise
Grieve and rejoice
And give good tidings of the Paradise that you were counting on
We are your guardians in this life and in the afterlife
You have in it whatever your souls desire
And you have in it whatever you call upon
They came down from the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful
Constancy is the commandment of the prophets and messengers to their children and followers
As in the Almighty’s saying
Whoever turns away from the religion of Abraham except one who fools himself
We have chosen him in this world
In the afterlife, he will be among the righteous
When his Lord said to him, “Submit.”
He said: I have submitted to the Lord of the Worlds
Abraham recommended it to his sons and Jacob
My son, God has chosen the religion for you
Do not die unless you are Muslims
If steadfastness in Islam is the commandment of the prophets and messengers
It is in a time of difference and separation
Steadfastness in Islam and the Sunnah is the goal of all those who follow the true approach
Al-Hasan Al-Basri said
Your Sunnah and God, besides whom there is no god, are between them
Between the precious and the dry
So be patient, may God have mercy on you
The Sunnis were the fewest people in the past
They are the fewest people remaining
Those who did not go with the people of the Atraf in their Atraf
Nor with the people of innovation in their innovations
And they were patient in their Sunnah until they met their Lord
So will you, God willing, so be it
If the people of disbelief are patient with their disbelief
They communicate it among themselves
As God said about them
And the chiefs of them set off: Be patient and be patient with your gods
This is something that is intended
He said that he almost led us astray from our gods
If we had not been patient with it
It is better for the people of truth to be patient and be patient with him
As God Almighty said
O you who believe
Be patient, be patient and watch
And fear God that you may succeed
He also said
By the time, man is in loss
Except those who believe and do righteous deeds
And communicate the truth
And be patient
And he said
So be patient, for God’s promise is true
And ask forgiveness for your sin
And praise your Lord
In the evening and early
Sheikh Al-Islami said in Al-Istiqamah
So he ordered him to be patient
And tell him that God's promise is true
He ordered him to ask forgiveness for his sin
No trial will occur except those who abandon what God has commanded
For God Almighty commanded truth and commanded patience
Sedition is either the result of abandoning the truth
Or one who abandons patience
