Reconciling People's Acceptance of the Caller with the Trial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
How do we reconcile the one who says, "So-and-so's call is good, and people accept him and love him," with the one who says, "Shaykh, it is said that the prophets were put to trial and that things happen to them in their call"? How is this reconciled?
The Shaykh:
And they are one in their call to people; one has a good style, and the other does not.
The questioner:
But the nature of the trial, I mean, how is it that people accept a caller who is known for being put to trial?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
