A person living among Muslims who commits major shirk, believing it brings him closer to Allah, is capable of seeking the truth but instead turns away from it, prioritizing materialistic goals over seeking the truth.

How can we justify turning away from the deen as an excuse of ignorance when they have ample time for leisure activities? This is, in fact, the kufr of turning away from the deen, as it is the 10th nullifier of Islam.

One of the causes behind why some people abandoned the deen is because they were people pleasers. They didn’t forbid what is evil when they saw & heard it and they didn’t leave the company of those who were committing evil. Instead, they were arrogant, thinking that they had learned about tawhid and studied lectures, so they believed they had acquired a "protective shield". However, Shaytan deceived them by making their actions seem acceptable in their eyes. Ultimately, they ended up losing in both this world and the hereafter..

{ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعۡبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرۡفٖۖ فَإِنۡ أَصَابَهُۥ خَيۡرٌ ٱطۡمَأَنَّ بِهِۦۖ وَإِنۡ أَصَابَتۡهُ فِتۡنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهِۦ خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخُسۡرَانُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ }
[Surah Al-Ḥajj: 11]

And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge ; if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss.

One of the punishments for abandoning enjoining good and forbidding evil is experiencing social anxiety. Another reason why some people abandon this obligatory act is fearing the consequences of it, such as how others will react to it. They may worry about losing friendships, which can lead them to become people pleasers.

Another punishment is showing off or ar-riyah (Minor shirk) because people pleasers seek validation from others for their acts of worship. if people approve it they will do it , if they disapprove it they will refrain from it

Never reveal your secrets to Murijiah or Madkhalis, even if they are your close family members. While they may show loyalty to you today, tomorrow they could ally with your enemy and expose all of your secrets.

If you observe someone disclosing secrets to family members who are on batil, be cautious, as an enemy is preferable to such a friend

Don’t blame shayateen in Ramadan, but blame your own nafs for whatever evil you do in this month of Ramadan because it indicates the reality of your nafs.

When you see your close friend openly committing kufr, declare your Bara against him openly, (except if doing so would have harmful consequences) . If you do not declare it , know that it's not Bara for the sake of Allah .

How can you say that you have abandoned him while you are afraid of displeasing him by speaking the truth about why you left him?

Whoever abandons the obligation of declaring Bara by tongue (except if he is not capable to do it due to harmful consequences) then he has committed minor shirk in fear

Someone asked about how to plan for Ramadan. I hope , this answer will be helpful to others as well.

-------

First, we should set goals for what we want to achieve in this Ramadan. Is it learning tajweed, memorizing some surahs, breaking any addictions, or something else? After writing down these goals, then set weekly goals (subgoals). After setting weekly and monthly goals, in the first week of Ramadan, follow this strategy: after Fajr, plan your day in a notebook (follow any strategy that suits you), and after Isha, track your goals. Evaluate whether the daily planning strategy is working or not, and make changes as needed to avoid procrastination. This way, you will find the most effective strategy that suits you. Remember not to plan the whole month in detail in terms of what you will do each day; instead, just set the goals. For weekly planning, specify the subgoals you want to achieve that week—this is where you can plan which tasks you want to accomplish on which days

How can we indulge in eating delicious foods while our brothers and sisters in other places are starving? Would you eat lavish meals knowing that your mother passed away recently or that your family members are suffering from hunger elsewhere? Let the month of Ramadan be a time of training (nafs) to support the Deen of Allah by the permission of Allah, rather than a time for excessive binge eating. Let us use this month to prepare ourselves , by the permission of Allah.

These are some common mistakes that many people make when clarifying matters to laymen Murijiah Madhkalis:

1) Emotionally starting the discussion by declaring takfir on rulers:
How can you start the discussion with this topic ( takfir of rulers ) while they believe in irjah or other doubts that restrain them from making takfir of rulers?

2) Jumping from one topic to another in a very short time:
This is not a productive discussion. Focus on one important topic, discuss it with providing proofs, and then move on to another topic.

3) Explaining matters without sharing proofs or only sharing sayings of contemporary scholars whom they refer as khawarij :
Their minds are bewitched by evil scholars; they won't actively listen to it. If you're sharing proofs with them, share proofs or sayings of Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Qayyim, ibn hazm , ibn kathir , Sheikh Ali Khudayr al Khudayr, shaikh ahmed Mohammad shakir etc

4) Starting to takfir them:
When clarifying matters to them, don't judge them immediately without explaining anything. We should differentiate between zanadiqah (evil scholars) and laymen; they are not the same in judgment.

5) Poor etiquette, the use of inappropriate language, and engaging in disrespectful conduct.:
Follow the methodology of the Prophets. Be patient; indeed, patience is a necessary skill for calling people to Tawhid.

Note :
The most important point is to avoid starting a discussion , If you have not thoroughly studied the fundamental concepts of the deen like iman and kufr
