The Trial: Is It Specific to the Friends of Allah, or Do the Disbelievers Also Receive Their Share of It?

Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the trial specific to the friends of Allah, or do the disbelievers also receive their share of it?

Answer:
Without a doubt, Allah increases the disbelievers in trial; Allah increases the disbelievers in trial to destroy them thereby. As for the believer, Allah tests him to purify him
And that Allah may purify the believers [through trials] and destroy the disbelievers.وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَمْحَقَ الْكَافِرِينَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:141]
. So what befalls the Muslim is purification and expiation, and what befalls the disbeliever is punishment and destruction for him.
(104) And do not weaken in pursuit of the enemy. If you should be suffering - so are they suffering as you are suffering, but you expect from Allah that which they expect not. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (105) Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which Allah has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate.تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ وَتَرْجُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَرْجُونَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا إِنَّا
[An-Nisa 4:104-105]
A pain will touch you, and a pain like it has already touched the people. And We cause the days to alternate among the people. Yes.
