مَنْ تَرَكَ مُجَالَسَةَ المُؤْمِنِينَ، فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِحِفْظِ اللهِ ﷻ الَّذِي يَحْمِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا، وَكَفَرَ بِجَمِيعِ الخَيْرَاتِ التِي ذَكَرَهَا اللهُ ﷻ فِي كِتَابِهِ، وَالتِي أَعَدَّهَا لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ. وَهِيَ نَحْوُ مِئَةِ صِفَةٍ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ: ١ - الأَجْرُ العَظِيمُ: ﴿وَسَيُؤْتِي اللهُ المُؤْمِنِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا﴾ [النساء: ١٤٦]. ٢ - الحِمَايَةُ مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ: ﴿إِنَّ اللهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ [الحج: ٣٨]. ٣ - اسْتِغْفَارُ حَمَلَةِ العَرْشِ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ: ﴿الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ العَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ [غافر: ٧]. ٤ - حِفْظُ اللهِ ﷻ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ: ﴿اللهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ [البقرة: ٢٥٧]. ٥ - أَمْرُ اللهِ ﷻ مَلَائِكَتَهُ بِطَمْأَنَةِ المُؤْمِنِينَ: ﴿إِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى المَلَائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ [الأنفال: ١٢]. ٦ - لَهُمُ العِزَّةُ: ﴿وَلِلَّهِ العِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ المُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾ [المنافقون: ٨]. ٧ - اللهُ مَعَ المُؤْمِنِينَ: ﴿إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٩ - بتصرف يسير في الترجمة]. ٨ - رِفْعَةُ الدَّرَجَاتِ: ﴿يَرْفَعِ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ﴾ [المجادلة: ١١]. ٩ - يَمْنَحُ اللهُ ﷻ الصَّالِحِينَ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ، وَنُورًا يَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِمْ، وَمَغْفِرَةً لِسَيِّئَاتِهِمْ. أحبّهم اللهُ ﷻ، وجعل ملائكته، وأنبياءه، وجميعَ عباده الصالحين يُحبّونهم أيضًا: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وُدًّا﴾ [١]. ويُنزل اللهُ ﷻ عليهم السكينةَ والطمأنينة: ﴿فَمَنْ آمَنَ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ﴾ [٢]. واللهُ هو الذي يُفيض عليهم نعمَه، ويأمرنا أن نسأله أن يهديَنا صراطَهم المستقيم، سبعَ عشرةَ مرةً في كل ليلةٍ ونهار (عند قراءة سورة الفاتحة). والقرآنُ هدًى وشفاءٌ لهم: ﴿قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ﴾ [٣]. وكلُّ خيرٍ في الدنيا والآخرة سببُه حُسنُ الإيمان، وكلُّ شرٍّ في الدنيا والآخرة سببُه انعدامُ الإيمان الحسن. وبعضُ الناس يُبالون قليلًا بارتكاب المعاصي، وهي التي تُخرجهم من حال الإيمان، ولكن ذلك لا يعني أنهم لم يعودوا مسلمين. غير أنهم إن أصرّوا على ارتكاب المعاصي، فإنه يُخشى أن تغلب تلك المعاصي على قلوبهم، ما يعني أنهم قد يُنزعون من مقام الإسلام بالكلية. ولهذا قال أحدُ العلماء السابقين: «أنتم تخافون المعاصي، وأنا أخاف الشرك».

Whoever avoids the company of the believers, has denied the Protection of Allah ~' Who defends those who believe, and denied all the good things mentioned by Allah ~ in his Book that are provided for the believers. There are around a hundred qualities, and each one is better than this world and what it contains; for example: Great reward: (And Allah will grant the believers a Great Reward) 2 Protection from the evil of this world and the Hereafter: ( Truly, Allah defends those who believe) 3 The Angels who bear the Throne seek forgiveness fo r the believers: (Those (Angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe) 4 Allah ~ guards those who believe: ( Allah is the protector and guardian of those who believe) 5 Allah ~ commands His Angels to reassure the believers: ( When your Lord revealed to the Angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm, 0 those who have believed) 6 They have honour: (But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Messenger (Muhammad ~), and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know. ) 7 Allah is in the company of the believers: ( Verily, Allah is with the believers) Exaltation in higher degrees: ( Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe) 9 Allah ~ grants righteous people a double portion of His Mercy, a light to guide them in their life, and forgiveness of their misdeeds. Allah ~ loves them and makes His Angels, His Prophets, and all His Pious Servants love them too: ( Verily, those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Gracious will bestow love upon them) 1 Allah ~ bestows the feeling of serenity upon them: ( So whosoever believes and does righteous good deeds, upon such shall come no fear, nor shall they grieve)2 Allah ~ is the One Who bestows His blessings upon them, and commands us to ask Him to guide us to their right path, seventeenth times, every night and day (when reciting Surat Al-Fatihah). The Qur ' an is a guide and healing for them: ( Say: It is for those who believe, a guide and healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place, far away ) 3 Every good in this world and the Hereafter is caused by good faith (and every evil in this world and the Hereafter is caused by the absence of the good faith). Some people care little about committing sins, which would take them out from the state of Iman (faith), but it does not mean they are no longer Muslims. However, if they persist on committing sins, then there is worry that their hearts might become overcome by those sins, which means they could end up being removed from the status of Islam altogether. It is for this reason that one scholar of the past said: "You fear sins, but I fear polytheism."
