Advice to a brother who had just embraced Islām, by Shaykh Uways at-Taweel (hafidhahullāh)

• Embracing Islām is a great blessing: it returns a person to the purpose of his creation, worshipping Allāh alone, and a creation that does not function according to its purpose suffers ill effects

• Islām is the religion that Allāh has promised to preserve, perfect and free of contradiction: when trials come, remember this blessing and do not complain

• Stay close to the brothers who will help you in seeking knowledge, and seek it with enthusiasm and consistency, following the way of the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions

• "All the children of Ādam err, and the best of those who err are those who repent" (ḥadīth of Anas): being a Muslim does not mean being perfect

• Protecting yourself from sin by good company, duʿāʾ, and seeking knowledge and acting upon it
