The Impact of Muslims' Calamities and Its Relationship to Faith

Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on not being affected when hearing or seeing painful scenes concerning Muslims, explaining this by saying that Allah has decreed this for them and He is more merciful to them?

Answer:
No, Allah has decreed this for them, and He is the Most Merciful toward them. However, a Muslim feels pain for the pain of his brothers and rejoices in their joy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Just as you do not wish these scenes and this painful reality for yourself, do not wish them for your brothers.
So you feel pain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Feeling pain for the Muslims is a sign of faith. Not feeling pain is evidence of weak faith and deficient faith. We do not say it is evidence of a lack of faith. No, faith is present, praise be to Allah, but it is evidence of deficient faith in the believer.
