The Ruling on Worries and Sorrows: A Punishment or a Trial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah reward you. This questioner says: I am forty years old and I am always afflicted with worries and sorrows. Is this a hardship caused by sins and disobedience, or is it a trial from Allah, even though I am careful to maintain my prayers?
Answer:
It can be for both reasons, and Allah knows best. It may be a punishment for the evil deeds I committed, as expiation for them, and it may be a matter of trial and testing. So you must be patient, and you must increase in supplication and in the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
