Afternoon Reminder. Sunday. Lets continue on our tips to become a better Muslim. 6. Understand Islam’s organic nature. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam mentioned that “Those who make things hard for themselves will be destroyed. (He said it three times.) Narrated by Imam Muslim. Striving to learn the deen been new Muslim or not will sometimes put you in a situation where you are overwhelmed with opinions that are hard to follow. As an example, one might be told that you have to wash your feet every time you make wudhu (ablution) unless you wipe over leather socks that have been worn from your previous wudhu. For most Muslims in the west, the idea of wearing leather socks is something that we find extremely unusual. If we do a little research, we find there are opinions of scholars that mention the permissibility of wiping over cotton socks (even ones with holes in them!). To new or learning muslim, these opinions can cause a huge sigh of relief. But the basic formula to always consider is to stay away from matters which are not clear in sharia in which scholars differ. We ask Allah to protect us from any satanic influences. Aamin.
