Fortify Your Mind.. And Do Not Surrender to the Poison of Doubts

You see a post or a comment that attacks religion or casts doubt on the personality of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so your soul—or the Devil!—says to you: "Why don't you read? Where is your mind? Look at the other point of view to be free! Besides, you have a mind, so judge with it." Tell your soul—and its devil—at that moment: 1. I know that many of these accounts are not just "free opinions" or "thoughts of truth-seekers," but rather directed platforms, moved by those who want to strip me of my religion, which is the source of my strength and pride, so that I become susceptible to enslavement! 2. I know that behind these screens are massive institutions with million-dollar budgets supported by the administrations of wealthy Arab countries and agendas aimed at eroding my identity. 3. I know that I am a victim of systematic ignorance through years of the "illusion of education" in schools and then universities, where I spend the prime of my life, yet it did not grant me a firm creed, nor critical thinking to critique the doubts they present, nor a history to be proud of, nor an understanding to contemplate revelation, nor detailed knowledge of the fragrant Prophetic biography, leaving me defenseless before the bullets of doubts. 4. I know that the voices of truth and reformers are intentionally silenced so that the arena remains empty for the promoters of falsehood. 5. I know that the global system of enslavement strikes at my innate nature (Fitrah) and fuels my desires, to create a veil over my insight and make my instincts the driver and leader. 6. I know that these people do not want freedom or enlightenment for me, but rather they want me to be an "ox" toiling in their waterwheel while they plunder the wealth of Muslims and cooperate to crush anyone who stands in their way.

• If I know all of this, then rushing to read their poisons is not an "appeal to reason" or "liberation from tradition," but rather a confident walk toward the trap, and a voluntary surrender of the neck to be placed in shackles. • I need to rebuild the fortresses of nature and reason that they worked to demolish, and the scale whose uprightness they broke, not to receive more of their waste! Nor to follow those about whom Allah said: (And among the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and follows every rebellious devil (3). It has been decreed for him that whoever turns to him—he will misguide him and lead him to the punishment of the Blaze).
