Deep dives

The importance of Allah's guidance and protection

Allah's protection is delivered through his guidance in the Quran. This is emphasized in the story of Adam and Iblis, where Allah warned about the misguidance of Iblis. Developing connections or relationships that take one away from guidance is seen as having the wrong kind of affinity. The example of Muslims putting up Christmas trees and normalizing celebrations offensive to Allah is cited as an illustration. Friendship and closeness with non-Muslims should have limits, and there should be a clear distinction between what is acceptable and unacceptable based on Islamic principles.
