Guidance for Muslims in the midst of trials
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you, Your Excellency the Shaykh, and may He make your knowledge beneficial. We ask your permission to pose some questions from the brothers present. This questioner says: Is there a word of guidance for Muslims in the midst of these trials that have left the Muslim in confusion, not knowing where the truth lies?
Answer:
The truth is clear, and all praise is due to Allah. Every Muslim knows where the truth is: it is obedience to Allah and His Messenger, and holding fast to this religion. No matter how many trials there are or how great they become, the truth is clear, and all praise is due to Allah; there is no ambiguity in it. So the way out of these trials is to hold fast to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and to stick to the congregation of the Muslims and the Imam of the Muslims, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised when Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman asked him about trials when they multiply and become great. He said, “What do you command me to do if I encounter that?” He said, “Stick to the congregation of the Muslims and the Imam of the Muslims.”
So first, we must hold fast to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. Second, obey Allah and His Messenger. Third, stick to the congregation of the Muslims and the Imam of the Muslims. Fourth, increase in supplication. Increase in supplication that Allah will avert these trials and protect the Muslims from their evil. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
