Afraid To Speak The Truth

Following the Prophet ﷺ is easy when it aligns with your culture, your family and your sense of normal. The real question is what happens when it doesn’t. Allah wanted to distinguish those who follow the Messenger from those who turn back on their heels, a phrase meaning not just retreat, but returning to the way things used to be. Ustadh Nouman explores how this plays out in our own lives: the social pressure, the family disapproval, the loss of status that can come from genuine commitment to Allah’s guidance.
