(This taken from another sisters page, something to think about! May Allah swt reward the sister ameen.) Born to Muslim families Those who are fortunate to be born in Muslim families must be aware that all such Muslims are not automatically guaranteed Paradise, because the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam warned that a large part of the Muslim nation would follow the Jews and Christians so closely that if they entered a lizard hole, Muslims would climb in after them. (Narrated by Abu Said al-Khudri and collected by Bukhari vol. 9 p. 314-315 #422 All of these people will have Muslim names and consider themselves Muslims, but it will be of no benefit to them on the Day of Judgement. Today, there are Muslims all around the world praying to the dead, building tombs and Masjids over graves and even performing rites of worship around them. There are even some who claim to be Muslims and worship Ali as Allah. (Nusayrees of Syria and the Druzes of Palestine and Lebanon) Some have turned the Quran into a good luck charm which they hang on chains around their necks, in their cars or on key chains, etc. Therefore, those born into such a Muslim world who blindly follow whatever their parents did or believed have to stop and think whether they are simply Muslims by chance or Muslims by choice? Is Islam what their parents, tribe, country, or nation did or does, or is it what the Quran teaches and what the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam and his Companions radi Allahu anhum did?
