💭Challenges faced by reverts

🎙️Ustadh Abu Ishaq

Shaykh Muqbil b. Hādī al-Wādiʿī رحمه الله said:

“A student of knowledge must be patient, even if matters and problems accumulate upon him, and he feels tightness in his chest.

He may even push himself with memorisation and dedication to seeking knowledge to the extent that he feels hardness in his heart.

This should not deter him, for Shayṭān does not want good for you; he wants to turn you away from seeking knowledge.

This is because seeking knowledge in this time is the greatest fortress, by the permission of Allah the Exalted, that protects you from trials.”
