Is it easy? Will people judge me? Call me out for my past sins? Will I lose my loved ones? What if, I still fail in my aqira? Is this a show-off? What if I quit in between?….
These are all the questions and even more that comes in the mind of a person who is fearing to take that *ONE STEP* in the way of ALLAH, to change one self and to become what pleases ALLAH subhaanahuwataala.
Let me give you a reality check. Yes, The path of righteousness is not easy (Especially the times we are living in). But Jannah is worth all the efforts, difficulties and sacrifices (in shaa ALLAH).
It is only ALLAH who can make our difficulties, easy on us. Once you take step 1, sincerely towards ALLAH, in shaa ALLAH, ALLAH will eventually bring you ease and joy.
There is a beautiful Ahadith, that should motivate all of us, to take that ONE INTIAL STEP- *Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “………………and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.’ (Sahih al-Bukhari 7405).*
Don’t be afraid of the reactions and comments. Remember, what matters is how we obey Allah by being sincere towards him. One day, we shall all leave this world. Lying in the grave, we wouldn’t want to think to ourselves- “It was foolish of me to think about people around me, to worry about my reputation and I did nothing for my aqira , untill death took me away”.
Don’t be your own enemy, by following desires, fantasies, committing sins and forgetting the duties and responsibilities that ALLAH has given us. Remember, this life can be lived with regrets. But not the hereafter life.
Seek help from ALLAH, keep your intentions sincere, Avoid sinning as much as you can, Stay among those who are righteous, Use your time and each and every blessing efficiently.
You do not have to be perfect, you just have to be sincere and consistent.
