Whoever has no Mihrāb (dedicated place of prayer), no Awrād (consistent acts of worship), no sense of humility and brokenness before the Almighty amidst these trials—how can he remain steadfast?
And whoever has no truthful companions to support him and keep him accountable amidst the grinding rush of daily life—how can he endure?
And whoever has no project for the Ummah through which he draws closer to Allah during these difficult times—how can he truly live?
And as for the one who lives today heedless and distracted, detached from the concerns of his Ummah, while his brothers are being burned alive and Al-Aqsa Mosque is being defiled by the vilest of creation—does he truly grasp the punishment Allah has inflicted upon his heart? Will he stand firm when great tribulations come to him and his home is tested as the homes of his brothers have been?
But as for the one who has recognized the path and remained upright, feared Allah as much as he could, was truthful with his Lord, thought well of Him and did not despair of His mercy, purified his intentions, kept close to companions of goodness, was kind to Allah’s creation, avoided places of evil, did not incline toward the oppressors, carried the burden of Islam, helped others carry it, strove in action, and clung to patience and certainty—what do you think the Lord of the Worlds will reward him with for his patience and steadfastness in these trying times? What of the one who was tested and remained patient? Or the one who bore the banner of Islam, sacrificing his self, honor, and wealth for it, while in scarcity, fear, and estrangement?
Let those who have missed the honor of this path realize what they’ve lost—before the light of dawn breaks, and with it passes the honor of the badge of the “forerunners.”
