Standing Firm in Islam

"So stand firm and straight (on the religion of Islamic Monotheism) as you are commanded, you and those (your companions) who turn in repentance (unto Allah) with you, and transgress not (Allah's legal limits). Verily, He is All-Seer of what you do" [Surah Hood 11:112]. When a person came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of something in Islam that I shall not ask anyone else about after you. He said: "Say, 'I believe in Allah,' then stand firm and straight." Narrated by Ahmad (14991) and at-Tirmidhi (2410); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi This book describes the ways that help a person to remain steadfast in adhering to religion, especially in times of fitnah (temptation). This book is a translation of a lecture given by Shaykh Abd al-Razzaq bin Abd al-Muhsin al-Badr, may Allah protect him. It contains both the Arabic and the English translation. This will help those learning Arabic. By reading the translation you will get to know the ways that you can be steadfast in this religion. We ask Allah to keep us and our Muslim brothers and sisters steadfast in His religion, and to protect us from fitnah, both visible and invisible.
