Striving for the preservation of faith

Dear Islamic brothers! We were hearing regarding the importance of protecting faith. If only we attain the mindset and concern to safeguard our faith, just like our pious predecessors. The pious people of Allah Almighty would remain in great fear regarding their faith being taken away from them. Let us listen to some accounts regarding this:

Imploring all night out of the fear of faith being taken away

Sayyiduna Yusuf Bin Asbaat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: ‘I was once present with Sayyiduna Sufyan Sawri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه. He spent the entire night crying. I enquired, ‘Are you crying from the fear of sins?’ He picked up a straw and said, ‘Sins hold less weight than this straw in the court of Allah Almighty; I am fearful of my faith being snatched away from me.’ (Minhaj-ul-‘Aabideen, p. 169)

I am surrounded by the worries of a good end

Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه reports the following about him: ‘Sayyiduna Sufyan Sawri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه began to cry and scream at the time of death. The people tried to reassure him by saying, ‘Ya Sayyidi! Do not worry, focus on the mercy of Allah Almighty.’ He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه replied, ‘The fear of a bad end is making me cry; if I receive a guarantee of death upon faith, then I am not concerned about having sins equivalent to mountains when I meet Allah Almighty.’ (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 4, p. 211)
