8- God’s Sunnah in sedition and affliction

 

 

God’s Sunnah in sedition and affliction

 

Discord: the exam and the test

God Almighty said

 Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried

Fitnah: What happens among people from fighting, may God bless him and grant him peace: (I see Fitnah in your homes)

And from it, the Almighty said

And We test you with evil and with good as trial

 

From the Sunnah of Allah with regard to affliction testing believers with adversity

 

 

The Almighty said

 Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you

They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near

poverty

distress affects a person other than himself and his body, such as taking money, driving out of home and threatening security

 

Hardship

is what afflicts a person, such as wounds

 and murders.

 

 

He says

You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse.

But if you are patient and fear Allah - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of determination.

 

 

     Temptation of Grace

 

The Almighty said

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.

 

 

Temptation of money and children

 

The Almighty said

 

And know that your properties and your children are but a trial and that Allah has with Him a great reward.

 

 

Examining people with the adornment of the world

The Almighty said

Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.

 

Imam Sufyan Al-Thawri said

 That is, let us test them which are the most precious in the decorations of this world

 

 

 

 

The affliction of the infidel nations

 

The Almighty said

And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allah].

 

 

 He will afflict her with misery and misery, hoping that this affliction will deter her from her unbelief and stubbornness, and she will return to her Lord

 

Examining the believers in jihad

The Almighty said

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah has not yet made evident those of you who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast

 

Affliction with evil

 

  And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to  patient

 

 

People are the most distressed by the scourge of the prophets, then the ideal and the best

 

Al-Tirmidhi reported in his university on the authority of Musab bin Saad, on the authority of his father, who said: I said: O Messenger of God, which people are more afflicted? He said

 

 The prophets, then the ideal, the ideal. A man is decimated according to his religion, and if there is a solid in his religion, his affliction will intensify, and if there is tenderness in his religion, he will be plagued with the extent of his religion, so what will the calamity of the servant leave until he lets him walk on the earth and what he owes

 

 

People are plagued by disparity between them

And it is He who has made you successors upon the earth and has raised some of you above others in degrees [of rank] that He may try you through what He has

given you. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.

 

That is, to test you in what He bestowed upon you, and to test you with it, to test the rich in his wealth and ask him about his thanks, and the poor in his poverty, and ask him about his patience, and to test the prestige and authority in anything he used his authority and authority

 

 

Seeking refuge with Allah from temptations

It is permissible for a Muslim to ask God Almighty and pray to Him and beg Him not to test Him with what is difficult for Him and in what is not successful, and to protect Him from the evil of the temptations to which they may be exposed

 

Hence the supplications mentioned in the case of seeking refuge with God from temptations, among which is what Bukhari and Muslim reported on the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say

 

 Oh God, I seek refuge in You from laziness, old age, sin and love, from the trial of the grave and the torment of the grave, from the temptation of fire and the torment of fire, and from the evil of the temptation of wealth, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the antichrist

 

And the great companion Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, used to say in his supplication ((... and I seek refuge in you from the temptation of life and the temptation of death

 

Do not show them to us, and they seduce us, seeing that they have appeared to us

 

Do not wish to meet the enemy

Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, said: (Because I am well, I thank the dearer to me than to be patient and be patient

 prayers and peace be upon him, said (Do not wish to meet the enemy and ask God for health, and if you meet them, be patient

 

That you do not rush the occurrence of adversity and deliberately occur
