What if the yeast spoils?!

What if the yeast spoils?!

Satan leaves no room but to blow his venom into it, even in the pure atmosphere of the call to Islam. For it was said about the children of Adam: (We will come to them from before them and from behind them, and from their right and from their left). Some interpreters said: (From their right) meaning from the side of their good deeds and religion. This is a matter that requires the brothers and sisters to be aware of it on the platforms of da'wah and in da'wah activities. For the matter may begin with cooperation in righteousness and piety, learning, and benefit, then it turns into private correspondence in which feelings are expressed!! And this may be under the guise of "love in Allah"! Which we have explained before is an emotional feeling, but it becomes an entry for evil if its owner expresses it to the other party and turns into attachment and intimacy! O righteous youth, O righteous sister... You are the cream of Allah's creation, and the "yeast" of the call... So what if the yeast spoils?! You are the ones relied upon to save the nation from its suffocation: from suffocation that is cured by drinking water, so how can one who is suffocating from water be cured?! The condition of the righteous in our days is somewhat like the condition of the Companions in the Makkan era... A call that is under pressure and Islam has no power, and the people are in their heedlessness (with a difference in the analogy between the polytheists and the heedless Muslims). Do you imagine that a Companion and a Companioness would cooperate in such circumstances in the call, then mix it with attachment and private conversations?! Or that a woman would be guided by a Companion, then he "turns her" with emotions and attachment!! Far be it from the Companions, for they were people of seriousness and supporters of a cause that elevated their aspirations above the vile. Do not say as an excuse: (But we are not angels, and we make mistakes like others, and even the Companions made mistakes). There is a difference between making a mistake with a forbidden glance - for example - in your work or on the road and seeking forgiveness for it. These are sins that a person strives to avoid and not to belittle, lest they destroy him. On the other hand, to transfer sin to the atmosphere of the call and make religion a means for your desires, this is treachery. If this happened in the time of the Companions, I think they would have considered its owner a hypocrite! Religion, the call, raising awareness of people, and saving them from the corruption of this world and the Hereafter... These are trusts, so do not betray them! (O you who have believed, do not betray Allah and His Messenger, and do not betray your trusts while you know). The female Companions would go out with the Mujahideen, treating the wounded and giving water to the thirsty. Do you imagine that two of them would seclude themselves in jihad and exchange conversations and glances?! Far be it from the Companions. The callers today are in jihad. Polluting the atmosphere of jihad is not a mistake, but treachery! If Satan comes to you from the right to make you fall into something of that, then fear Allah lest you give the mockers and those who lie in wait for the religion and its people a way against us?! They will drive people away from your call and our call by your actions (And taste the evil of what you have done and be afflicted with a great punishment)! We want to fortify our fortresses to launch from them to the people, so do not corrupt the fortresses from within... People look at the atmosphere of righteousness as an oasis of purity, so do not pollute it... Do not say to yourself: (She responded to me, but she is the one who dragged me to this), but remind her of Allah if she did, then cut the relationship completely. I do not think that what we mentioned is a widespread phenomenon, and yet we advise each other to warn against it, for prevention is better than cure. O Allah, employ us in Your obedience and keep us away from what displeases You.
