An excerpt from a lecture by Shaykh Raslan حفظه الله urging listeners to learn their religion and give proper attention to Islamic knowledge and creed. “Why don't you learn? What stops you from learning? What stops you from learning your religion? Is there anything more precious to you than religion? Your time is spent in idle talk and in... ...trivial matters that have no value at all. Your time is being slaughtered upon the altars of... ...idleness, because it is spent in backbiting, tale-bearing, lying, and speaking against the honor of Muslims. What are you doing, and where are you going, O Ummah? O People of the Sunnah, your silence is [from] misguidance. Your creed, your creed is your life. Your creed... ...is your honor. Your creed is your dignity. You have no honor except through it. It is your blood, it is your souls, it is your life, it is your Hereafter. For whoever associates anything with Allah, the Lord of the worlds, Allah will not forgive him if he dies upon shirk... ...without repenting from his shirk. So take care of yourselves. Learn, and begin with the greatest of obligations, the most important of duties... ...and the most important matters. Leave aside the byways of the road. Learn... ...your creed. Learn your religion. And beware lest deceivers deceive you, or those who obscure matters confuse you.”
