Bismillaahi wal hamdu lillaahi was salaatu was salmaamu alaa rasoolillaahi ammaa ba'd.
Allaah the Most High says; (explination of the meaning) Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe to be affected by Allaah's reminder (this Qur'aan) and that which has been revealed of the truth, lest they should become as those who received the scripture (Jews and Christians), and as time prolonged their hearts were hardened. and many of them were Faasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah) surah al Hadid, 16.
Imaam Muslim Rahmatullaahi alaihi reports in his Sahih from Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood that he said; There wasn't between our Islaam (i.e. the time we accepted Islaam) and Allaah rebuking us with this ayaah except for four years.
Fa yaa subhaana! Many of us have been muslims or have been upon Islaam for longer than four years!!! Has not the time come for us too?!!!
