The only sad part of finding the straight path is when you lose it. There are many ways to fall, but no fall is more tragic than a fall in one’s faith. Sometimes it’s a sister who decided to take off her hijab and live a different type of life, other times it’s a brother who was once active in the community but got caught up with the wrong crowd. But, with each story, somehow, somewhere along the line, our brothers and sisters fell so far.

There are 350 million people on Facebook. And theoretically, for a small window of time last week when Facebook pulled a fast one on all its users and changed its privacy settings to encourage “openness,” those 350 million people were privy to all the lurid details of your life. Your status updates, photos, personal information, where you live, what music you listen to, who your friends with - all available to every creep and potential boss to analyze and use against you.

"Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up salah and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in. Except those who repent and believe and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught." (Quran 19: 59-60)
The Prophet (pbuh) said, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day, would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet said, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds." (Sahih Bukhari) |
