In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Uqbah Ibn Aamir, may Allah be pleased with him] said: I said: “O Messenger of Allah! What is salvation?” He said, “Restrain your tongue, keep to your house and weep over your sin”.

Imam Al-Albani, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

“Restrain your tongue”.

Meaning, do not speak, except based on that which benefits and concerns you, as the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, said:

“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then let him say what is good or remain silent”.

“Keep to your house”.

Some people may think that this necessitates keeping away from the people completely; rather this is an advice of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, that one stays in his house when Fitan becomes rife, so a person realises that there is no benefit in intermingling with the people; rather it becomes obligated to  him to save himself by staying indoors.

However, this is not permissible in every era and place, because Islam is established based on the foundation “Arise and warn (i.e. call to Tawheed and warn” against shirk)” [Al-Mud-dath-thir. 2], and this necessitates that one intermingles with the people to give them dawah.

And this why the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

“The believer who mixes with people and patiently bears their harm is better than the one who does not mix with people and does not patiently bear their harm”.

But if intermingling with the people will result in harming the Aqeedah, manners and religion of the Muslim, he should adhere to this noble advice of the Prophet that one stays in his house.

“And weep over your sins”.

This is a constant obligation, whether a Muslim lives in isolation from the people (i.e. when the need arises) or intermingles with them. One should take himself to account and contemplates on what he did during day and night, so that he remembers his Lord and hopes that he will be included amongst those seven people (i.e. those who will be provided with shade on the day of judgement when there will be no shade), and amongst them is “the one who remembers Allah when he is alone, and his eyes fill up with tears”.[Al-Bukhari. 620]
