IT'S NOT ABOUT CRAMMING,BUT UNDERSTANDING
Do you agree that first pillar of islam is a foundation and pre-requisite for all other pillars,it is such that doesn't only require cramming but a full understanding of it.
People nowaday think this major thing which is the first pillar is only needed when there is an exam,for singing,for asking sake and cramming,this which is not so.
Do you agree that if is not that people are only cramming without understanding this pillar,why would someone be adamant after hearing it is not permissible,and why would someone after reading,hearing and seeing that something is haraam in islam still be in doubt.
If truly you understand and you didn't cram this pillar of islam you don't have to think these things twice:
Christmas and other kuffar celeberation is not permissible.
Pictures is haraam.
Leave your beards and cut your trouser above your ankle.
Wear your jilbab and niqoob
Hizbiyah is deviation.
Maoulid nabiyy doesn't have any basis in the religion.etc
If the first button of a shirt is wrong put,the other buttons will definately be wrong,so work hard on learning your religion by not only cramming but by understanding.If you understand the first pillar,then you have no problem with other matters in the deen.
STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE CALLING THE PROPHET A LIARS,BY DOUBTING OR STILL NEGLECTING WHAT HE TOLD US TO DO.
The first pillar 'none has right to worship except Allah,and MUHAMMAD his is messenger. Afterall muhammad deliver the message,if you don't meet him,you have his words and action by your doorstep,so it is now up to you to show if you are not calling the messenger a liar.
ASK AND CHECK YOURSELF,AM I NOT DOUBTING OR CALLING THE PROPHET A LIAR BY MY ACTION AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS HIS MESSAGE FROM ALLAH.CHECK YOUR FIRST PILLAR,IS IT RIGTHLY PUT?
