Question:
From the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, this is a message sent by a listener from there. He says: Muhammad Mahmoud al-Sawada, our brother asks and says: Is it possible for a believer not to take the necessary measures if he reaches a certain level of faith due to the strength of his certainty?
Answer:
No, that is not the case. No, it is necessary to take the necessary measures, no matter who the believer is. Even the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them), who are the best of creation and the highest of people in rank in faith, used to take the necessary measures. They are the most perfect of people in faith, the most balanced in judgment, and the most complete in intellect, and yet they took the necessary measures. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the necessary measures on the day of Uhud; he carried weapons, placed a helmet on his head to protect him from weapons, and appeared between two coats of armor. On the day of Uhud, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore two coats of armor, placed a helmet on his head, and carried weapons, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the master of the children of Adam, the best of creation, the most perfect in faith, and the most perfect in reliance upon Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In fact, he used to eat and drink, have intercourse with women, and take the necessary measures. Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone to neglect the necessary measures if they have the ability to do so. Rather, every person, even if they reach the pinnacle of faith, must take the necessary measures, just as the Messengers, who are the best of people and the most perfect in faith, and who are the pinnacle in everything, take the necessary measures (peace and blessings be upon them). Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
