We must accept the truth at the first instance, or else this👇🏽 might be our fate:
{وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفۡـِٔدَتَهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَـٰرَهُمۡ كَمَا لَمۡ یُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِهِۦۤ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةࣲ وَنَذَرُهُمۡ فِی طُغۡیَـٰنِهِمۡ یَعۡمَهُونَ}
“We shall turn their hearts and eyes away ˹from the truth˺ since they refused to believe in it the first time, and We will leave them to wander blindly in their defiance.”
[Sūrah Al-An‘ām 110]

”اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَتَرْحَمَنِي وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِتْنَةَ قَوْمٍ فَتَوَفَّنِي غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ أَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَحُبَّ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُ إِلَى حُبِّكَ.“

Questioner: what is the ruling on using the Gregorian calender?
Sheikh Muqbil raḥimahullāh: It is considered blindfollowing [the Kuffār], and the Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever imitates a people, then he is from them.” I advise to use the Hijri calendar. And Allāh is the One Whose aid is sought. Essentially brothers, they don't want to leave off any of the milestones of Islām, except that they want to eradicate them.
The more dependent we are upon the Gregorian calender the more negligent we become of Allāh's rulings
Firstly, “The Gregorian calendar is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in October 1582.” [Wikipedia]
Whereas the Hijri calender was introduced by ‘Umar ibnul Khaṭṭāb -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu- and named after the most significant incident in the propagation of Islām; the Prophet's migration (Hijrah) from…

When was the last time you regretted your silence?
Abul ‘Atāhiyah mentions a beautiful line of poetry where he said:
ما إن ندمت على سكوتي مرة *** ولقد ندمت على الكلام مرارا
❝Not once have I regretted my silence, but I've regretted speaking many a time❞
[Transmitted by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu‘abul Émān]
Sheikh Muqbil Raḥimahullāh said:
❝If we see clear disbelief (from a ruler) is it obligatory then to rebel against him? What’s obligatory is to assess the condition of the Muslims; do they have the ability to confront him or will they be putting themselves forward as a sacrificial lamb??!!...In any case I advise the youth to busy themselves with beneficial knowledge and Daʿwah towards Allāh and to leave these doubts…
