The Muslim's Position on Fitnah

Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, given the multitude of trials and evils in the end times, what is the Muslim's position regarding them? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
The Muslim's position regarding trials is to be patient, hold fast to his religion, and not be affected by the trials; rather, he should be patient in his religion until he meets Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is reported in the hadith that he is due to the severity of what he faces from people, the reproachers, the ones who abandon him, the mockers, and others. So he must be patient in his religion. He may even be threatened with punishment and threatened with what he dislikes, but he remains patient and does not abandon his religion, even if what befalls him befalls him. Yes.
