Consequences of Taking Steps Back from Religion

Taking steps back from one's religion can lead to being replaced by others who will love and uphold the faith. Allah may choose to replace nations that deviate from their religion with those who will be humble before believers and tough against enemies. Individuals who fear criticism and hold negative stereotypes may distance themselves from their faith, but Allah can open new opportunities for those who stay steadfast. The rejection of education due to wearing a hijab contrasts with the success of educated hijab-wearing individuals, illustrating how Allah can replace those who hold biased views or fail to appreciate the diversity within the Muslim community.
