someone asked Sheikh Muhammad ibn Saleh al-'Uthaymeen (rahimullah): what is your advice for an individual who has just begun to practice Islam?
answer by Sheikh Muhammad ibn Saleh al-'Uthaymeen (rahimullah):
my advice to this new practicing individual is:
1. he should constantly ask Allah to make him firm.
2. he should increase in recitation of The Qur'an with contemplating. this is because recitation has a major (positive) effect on the heart, especially when coupled with contemplation and reflection.
3. he should be diligent in being obedient in Allah, and he should not become bored or lazy. this is because The Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) sought refuge from inability and laziness.
4. he should be diligent in befriending good companions, and distance himself from evil companions.
5. he should also advise himself when he finds himself thinking: time is extremely lengthy and the path is too long! at this point, he should advice himself and remain firm. this is because Jannah is surrounded with trials and difficultires, while the Hellfire is surrounded with desires.
6. he should distance himself from bad companions even if they are individuals he knew in the past. this is due to the fact that evil/bad companions influence an individual. bc of this, the Prophet saw said: the example of a bad companion is the example of a black smith; either he burns your clothing, or you experience from him a disgusting odor. (Bukhari 5534, Muslim 2628)
