Stop Misguidance before It Starts
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Falling into misguidance doesn’t happen all at once; rather, there are steps to that, that come along with [things like] giving precedence to [one’s] intellect over Islamic law, considering things to be [Islamically] good based on intellect or emotion, loving fame, and other than that.
So cutting off [the steps to misguidance] from the very start is a tremendous means of attaining steadfastness [in Islam]. As for being drawn away bit by bit, that is [only] increasing the extent of [one’s] misguidance. And our Lord says:
{وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ}
And do not follow in the Devil’s footsteps. (Al-Baqarah 168, extract)

الوقوع في الضلال لا يكون دفعة واحدة،
بل هناك خطوات لذلك، يصاحبها تقديم العقل على الشرع، والاستحسان العقلي والعاطفي، وحب الشهرة، وغير ذلك.
ولذلك كان قطع الأمر من أوله سببا عظيما للثبات، وأما الانجرار شيئا فشيئا هو اتساع في الانحراف
