Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: He requests that the Honorable Shaykh be kind enough to clarify some of the matters that protect one from trials in this time, in which these confusions have multiplied.
Answer:
The greatest thing that protects one from trials is knowledge: beneficial knowledge by which you know the trials, what you should avoid them with, and what protects you from them. You learn beneficial knowledge. The second thing is supplication: you ask Allah to keep you safe from trials, both those that are apparent and those that are hidden. The third thing is staying away from trials and isolating oneself from them and their people, and distancing oneself from them, and asking Allah for steadfastness upon the Sunnah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
