What is the ruling on one whose life has become so difficult that he turns away from Allah?

The questioner : He was with her one day. Glory be to Allah, we ask Allah for well-being.

The Shaykh : Stay away from evil and sing for him. The Messenger (peace be upon him) says

The questioner : Please, Shaykh. I am sorry.

The Shaykh : And whoever circles around the forbidden area is likely to fall into it. Yes, indeed.

The questioner : Our brother.

The Shaykh : The tailor’s shop, he always tells you he is stressed, so those who read [the signs] see that money is coming in from Saudi Arabia, and a lot of money. Do you see? We told him, my brother, improve your relationship with Allah first, and then the provision will come to you. And this means that the hardship of life is severe, and it is known that its result is turning away from Allah the Exalted.

The questioner : Perhaps it is from this perspective, as I understood from him, meaning.

The Shaykh : There is no power and no strength [except by Allah].

The questioner : That is all. May Allah keep you safe, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
