Question:
Honorable Shaykh. Is the day of the new matter the day of the new matter and the cause? We are happy. That the occupation in the Sunnah before the Mission was due to drinking and surgery, so why before? And why did it not end?
Answer:
Allah left some of that for the sake of trial and testing. Yes, why did the devil remain? For the sake of trial and testing, testing the creation, testing the people: who obeys the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and who obeys the fortune-tellers. This is a matter of trial and testing. Their persistence has a wisdom from Allah, so that Allah may distinguish the bad from the good, just as the disbelievers remain. Why did the disbelievers remain? So He made the disbelievers for the sake of testing and trial, to test some of you with others.
