Will Be Like The One Holding Onto A Burning Ember… |Who Is Steadfast Upon His Religion

Will Be Like The One Holding Onto A Burning Ember…

Anas bin Malik (radiALLAH anhu) narrated:

That the Messenger of Allah (salALLAHU alaihi wa sallam) said:
There shall come upon the people a time in which the one who is steadfast upon his religion will be like the one holding onto a burning ember.

Commentary:

This hadith informs us that the Muslim Ummah shall pass through periods when:
Wickedness,
Lewdness,
... & ...
Sinfulness will hold sway in society, and the believers shall find it extremely difficult to preserve their faith, and swim against the surging tide of worldly benefits and gains.

Holding onto one’s faith under these conditions will in fact be like holding on to a live coal in the palm of one’s hand, which will be a highly challenging and trying task.
