Advice for the one who complains about Allah’s trials
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, for advice for those who complain about Allah’s trials upon them, whether in illness or otherwise.
Answer:
The one who complains about illness or anything else is only a person weak in faith or a hypocrite. As for the believer, he does not complain about what has befallen him; rather, he is patient, supplicates to Allah, does not despair, holds himself to account, and knows that what has befallen him is for his own good. It is for his good so that Allah may expiate his sins, so that Allah may forgive him, so that he may be mindful of himself and make up for any shortcomings. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
