The Way Out of Fitnah and the Muslim's Position Toward It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the way out of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and what is the Muslim's position toward it?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the way out when he mentioned fitnah. They asked, "What is the way out of it, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "The Book of Allah. It contains the news of those before you and the tidings of those after you. It is the criterion, not a joke. Whoever among the arrogant rejects it, Allah will divide him. Whoever seeks a god other than Him, Allah will misguide him." So the Noble Qur'an that is in our hands is clear, as clear as the day. Therefore, the Muslim should frequently recite the Qur'an and reflect upon it so that his heart may be guided, his insight illuminated, and his deeds purified. Yes.
