How can someone who is hesitant to embrace Islam, and who faces opposition from his Christian family and is in a relationship with his girlfriend, make the right decision and convert to Islam?
The author congratulates the questioner's brother on embracing Islam and supplicates for his steadfastness, noting that believers are brothers. He advises the questioner, who knows the correct decision (which is Islam), to implement it, emphasizing the value of life with religion and that the soul finds peace in the worship of Allah. He cites Quranic verses that show the difference between the guided and the astray, and that guidance is the opening of the breast to Islam. He urges the questioner not to hesitate because the matter concerns salvation from Hellfire and attaining happiness in both worlds, and that obedience to Allah takes precedence over everyone else. He also reassures him that Allah will assist him with his parents and invites him to call his beloved to Islam; if she embraces Islam, he should marry her, otherwise, "Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better."
