Means to Help the Believer Remain Firm in Times of Fitnah (Trial, Discord or Temptation)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We thank Allah for our esteemed Shaykh and father, the scholar Salih al-Fawzan. We ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic to prolong his life in obedience to Him and to bless him. We seek his permission to ask a few questions, Shaykh, if you are agreeable. May Allah reward you with good. Yes. A questioner asks: What are the means that help the believer to remain firm in the face of these many fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in general?

Answer:
The means are: learning beneficial knowledge from people of insight and scholars who follow the methodology of the Salaf (the earliest generations) of this Ummah (the Muslim community) and its imams; then teaching this to our children, the people of our land, and those around us; then acting upon it; and then asking Allah for firmness upon the truth, and asking Allah for salvation from the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), whether apparent or hidden.
