Protection of Faith
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! Islam is a noble and dignified religion. Those who are blessed by Allah Almighty, they acquire the priceless treasure of Iman in this world, and the fortunate ones who remain steadfast upon Iman are prosperous in both worlds. Hence, it is imperative for every Muslim to protect this blessing and remain steadfast upon it while understanding its value.
This is because leaving this world in a state of Iman is of great importance for a Muslim. If we depart from this world with our faith intact, the trials of the grave and the Hereafter will become easy. Dying upon faith is a cause of salvation for us in the Hereafter; one can perform a countless number of good deeds in this world but if he does not die in a state of Iman, those deeds will be of no benefit. It is mentioned in a Hadith: اِنَّمَا الْاَعْمَالُ بِالْخَوَاتِیْمِ Verily, [the rewards of] the deeds are dependent on their endings [i.e. dying upon faith or disbelief].[1]
In relation to the importance of Iman and its preservation, it is mentioned in verse 30 of Surah Ha Meem al-Sajdah:
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوْا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَیْهِمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ اَلَّا تَخَافُوْا وَ لَا تَحْزَنُوْا وَ اَبْشِرُوْا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ(۳۰)
Indeed, those who said, “Allah is our Lord,” then remained firm upon it, the angels descend upon them (saying), “Do not fear nor grieve, and be happy for the Paradise which you were promised.”[2]
