👉♥️Following Lusts and Desires♥️👈
In Surah al-Qasas Allah says:
"But if they answer you not - that is they do not believe in your doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, nor follow you, then know that they only follow their own lusts. And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, without guidance from Allah? Verily! Allah guides not the people who are wrong-doers and disobedient to Allah - the Dhalimun." [Al-Qur'an 28:50]
In a hadith, the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said, "No one of you will become a believer unless his desires agree with what was revealed to me."
Fear from people and not being patient when being hurt by people. Allah talks about the disbelievers of the Quraysh. In Surah al-Qasas it states:
"And they say: If we follow the guidance with you, we would be snatched away from our land." [Al-Qur'an 28:57]
By making this statement they testified that what the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, brought was guidance, and that they were astray and erred, but they did not follow him because they feared their security and being hurt by people.
This is a corrupt picture and a deteriorated natural instinct of perceiving what is right and wrong since security and assurance can only be gained from following guidance and fear only comes from following a the wrong path. What the disbelievers said before is similar to what many contemporary people say, such as, We know that Islam is the true religion, but what prevents us from following it and being govern by it, is our fear of being attacked by other Non-Muslim countries and calling us ignorant fundamentalists. They forgot that this only increases their fear and makes them weaker in the eyes of the enemies. This is stated in Surah al-'Imran:
"It is only Shaytan that suggests to you the fear of his supporters and friends, so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are true believers." [Al-Qur'an 3:175]
The Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said, "He who requests a peoples acceptance with Allah's discontent, Allah will be angry with him and will also make people displeased with him."
So beware of those hindrances and hold tight to the Qur'an and the Sunnah..
May Allah guide us all.
