Here is some valuable advice that applies to Muslimas across the globe.

1. ASK ALLAH TO KEEP YOUR HEART STEADFAST ON DEEN.
You may be a Muslim today, but there is no guarantee that you will remain one forever. Allah Almighty can turn your heart away from the Siraatul Mustaqeem (straight path) if He so wills. I personally know of two sisters who gave up their Imaan to marry out of the fold of Islam and who accepted the religion of their husbands.


Anas Ibn Malik (R.A) reported that Mohamed (S.A.W) used to frequently pray "O Turner of The Heart (Referring to Allah Almighty), keep me steadfast in your religion." Anas (R.A) then said to Nabi (S.A.W) "O Allah's Messenger, we affirm faith in you and in that which you have been sent with. Despite this you are entertaining fear about us." Nabi (S.A.W) replied "Yes, verily the hearts of men are between two Fingers of Allah and He Turns them as He wishes." - Tirmidhi



2. NEVER CONSIDER ANY SIN AS TOO MINOR.
There are two types of sins - minor sins and major sins. Major sins are deserving of more severe punishment.

A'ishah (R.A), the beloved wife of Our Noble Prophet (S.A.W) said that one day Nabi (S.A.W) told her "O A'ishah, beware of small sins, for Allah Ta'alah will hold you accountable for them."

Nabi (S.A.W) said "Beware of minor sins, they pile up on a person till they ruin him." This Hadith has been narrated by Ibn Mas'oud (R.A)

A true Muslima is one who repents to Allah for all her sins, both minor and major.


3. REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN YOU WILL BE COMPLETELY HELPLESS.

This is the day you die, when you will be carried to your final resting place.

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri (R.A) has narrated that Nabi (S.A.W) has said "When the deceased one is ready (for burial) and the people lift it on their shoulders, then if the deceased is a righteous person, he/she will say 'Take me ahead', and if he/she is not a righteous one, then he/she will say 'Woe it (to me)! Where are you taking me?' And his/her voice will be heard by everything except human beings. If human beings were able to hear these laments of the dead they would fall down unconscious. - Bukhari

My dear sister (or brother) in Islam, heed these 3 pieces of advice and Insha'allah you will be successful. And I humbly request that you remember me in your prayers as well.
