The past few weeks have been full of new things for me.But, the one thing that stuck out mostly to me was that whenever there are people praising God and His existence there is always opposition. Why? because shaitan (satan) is there. We, who are on the straight path will always be faced with the taunting of evilness that exist in this world. This is a test to see just how honest and just how committed we are in our devotion to Allah(God). Many things are happening in the world that shows just how prevalent the challenge is to fight off the evil influenced that seek to destroy the Muslim's faith. Movies of desecration of the Prophet Muhammad(may peace be upon him) and of Muslims, hatred by persons who aren't aware that Muslim's praise God, too, or even that we know Isa(Jesus) as being a messenger and the Messiah. That we, too, know Ibrahim (Abraham), Moses, Aaron, Jacob, John the Baptist, and others. Because of the lack of knowledge and this ignorance, the shaitan (satan) is taking advantage of it and running in a rampage against God (Allah) loving people. Shaitan is even using the September 11th tragedy to stir up hatred against the Muslims as a whole every year. In contrary to the belief of those who ignite hatred due to this event and due to the actions of a small group, Muslims do not condone such acts of violence or do we condone acts of suicide.Allah(God) does not condone it. Suicide is a sin that cannot be forgiven! Also, peace is always better than acts of violence. Yes, new things to me, and an old practice of praising God and having opposition to praising God is a challenge that people of faith will seemly always have to face. Knowing That We must strengthen our faith, we must do it at this moment in order to ward of the evil influences of this world.
