Backstory: *from my understanding for surah An-Nisa’ ayah 51.  (taken from book written by Sh. Yasir Qadhi: The Sirah of the Prophet (PBUH) page 275) 

The Quraish went to the Jews (Banu Nadir) and said, 'You are people of the book and are aware of our differences with Muhammad. So is our religion better or his?' 

Banu Nadir replied, 'You are more rightly guided, and you are closer to the truth than Muhammad and his companions.' 

Allah exposed their hypocrisy in Surah An-Nisa’ ayat 51.

51 - Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who were given a portion of the Scriptures yet believe in idols and false gods and reassure the disbelievers that they are better guided than the believers? 

This ayah reminds me of an incident happen a few years ago before covid time. I was an ignorant and I didn't have much knowledge about Islam.  

I remember meeting a guy (he was one of my passenger) and we had a talked about religion. I remember him telling me about Baha’i faith. It’s a religion that believes in all religions. To be honest, his argument seems logic to an ignorant me. But at the same time, I didn't really accept it. There was something in me that rejected that. Alhamdulillah. 

But at the same time, I didn't like to show my disagreement, out of feat that It might affect my ehailing rating if I displease him. I don't really remember how did I act at that time. But stuffs like that continued to happen with my other customers as well, and I realised I need to draft out a certain rules and ways to handle that sort of situation in the future.

The seriousness of this matter was mentioned in ayah 52, surah An-Nisa’ 

52-  It is they who have been condemned by Allah. And whoever is condemned by Allah will have no helper. 

To begins with, one thing for certain there is no god except Allah and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is His last nabi and rasul. 

My priorities should always be to please Allah and do things that are pleasing to Him. That means I have to be firm when stating out my belief to others. 

Secondly, I should be mindful of the way I say it, in a polite and humble way. I should also remember not to hurt another person feelings. Laughing is probably a good way to keep things cool. After all, my religion is my religion and your religion is your religion. 

Thirdly, I need to increase my knowledge and always seek Allah’s help and guidance. 

Most importantly, seeking Allah forgiveness is definitely a must. 

May Allah forgive all our shortcoming, continue guiding us onto the right path and give us a good ending. Allahumma ameen. 🤲🏽

Allahumma ameen. May Allah gv you and family and the Ummah too. Allahumma ameen. 🤲🏽❤️
