Shaykh ul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه اللهsaid:
“The state of a place reflects the state of a person. It is possible to be sometimes a
Muslim and at other times a disbeliever; sometimes sincere and at other times
hypocritical; sometimes good and pious and at other times rotten and corrupt. Thus, a person becomes like the place
of his abode. The migration of a person from a land of disbelief and profanity
to one of faith and probity is an expression of repentance and of his turning
away from disobedience and perversion to belief and obedience. This is so until
the Day of Resurrection.”
