Adhering To The Qur'aan And Sunnah Is The Way To Salvation

By Sh Salaah Al Budair - Imaam of Haram

These days, Islamic societies are being relentlessly attacked by Christianisation campaigns, impudent temptations and open war through misleading mass media controlled by callers to evil and corruption in order to westernise these societies and to divert them from their religion and path.

Indeed, the unbelieving nations live a disgraced life, suffer in infected sludge and move in moral and religious darkness. While some are alcoholics, others are addicted to music and another large number of them are enslaved by their lust. Their statutes are full of oppressive and unjust laws which they use to decide matters relating to their lives, chastity and properties.

"And he for whom Allaah has not appointed light for him there is no light." (An Noor: 40).

However, it is very saddening that some Islamic societies have been affected by this westernisation so much so that it has attacked their established concepts, changed their customs, weakens their strength and destroys many aspects of their lives. Allaah says: "And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion if they can." (Al-Baqarah: 217) read more

BENEFIT: this is a Dua of thankfulness to Allah SWT for providing us with food and drink. It substitutes the bounty.
