Knock knock!

"Who's there?" A voice from inside the house was heard.

"It's me! I need protection, please let me in! Some men are following me, I'm scared. Please!" A shivering voice pleaded.

The door was quickly opened upon hearing the response.

"Hop in. You'll be much safer here. I know them, they won't dare to come here. Come, I'll get you some warm coffee." The owner said with a smile on his face. But after a while his face was full of questions upon hearing the words from the scared man.

With only one leg inside the house and the other one outside, the shivering man happily said, "It's alright. I'll just stand like this in front of your house."

"But you are still in danger if you are to stand like that. They will see you here and they'll catch you. Come inside." said the owner rather amused.

MYC Session : Part of the activity. Distinguish between full-time muslim and part-time muslim.

So, would you expect the owner to treat the scared man properly with that kind of 'entrance' to the house of protection? He would rather not.

Allah has blessed us with the coming of Islam through His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad. He is pleased that we would like to enter Islam because we need warmth and protections from Allah, but how can we expect Allah to help us if we do not enter His Deen (Islam) properly?

His House has everything that we want, but do we really want to just have a 'peek' to what is inside?

Ask ourselves, do we really want to ignore the coffee offered?

"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, masuklah kamu ke dalam Islam secara kaaffah (keseluruhannya). Dan janganlah kamu ikuti langkah-langkah syaitan kerana dia adalah musuh yang nyata." [2:208]
