The Calamity in Religion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that in the du'a' of qunut, the imam says, for example: "And do not make our calamity in our religion." How can there be a calamity in religion, O Shaykh?
Answer:
When something befalls the Muslims that harms them, it becomes a calamity in religion. A calamity in religion is when something befalls a person that harms him in his religion, whether by the enemies being unleashed against him, or by being tested with sins and evils, or by apostasy from Islam, may Allah grant us safety. This is a calamity in religion. It may be that he is tested with bad rulers, or with disbelievers who prevent him from his religion, or with a desire and lust that prevent him from his religion, or with bad companions who prevent him from his religion. May Allah grant us safety. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
