Are You being tested?
October 1st, 2007
subhanallah, this dunya we are living in and this time we live in as muslims is a hard time and at the same time a very blessed time. its a time of trials and tribulations, a time for the ranks to be cleared..the believers from the munafiqeen etc..and its a blessed time because a lot of khayr is happening in the ummah. around 30 years ago muslims were in a deep sleep and far away from their deen, but alhamdulillaah now the table is turning bi idhnillaah and muslims have realized how precious their deen is and wat they have to do to protect it..
But for us to get our izzah and karamah back as we once had it like the times of the muslim khilafah we all have to sacrifice for this blessed deen and bear the trials that will come with it. Everything which is worth a lot, will cost you a lot. and for us to raise up the flag of tawheed high above everything will surely cost us a lot and will not come easily.
 The prophet saws told his sahaba that there will come a time where the reward for 1 person will be like the reward of 50 sahaba, and why subhanallaah?? because of what they go through and how much they sacrifice and bear for this deen. thats why our time is blessed because alhamdulillah its harsh times but the reward is great, may Allaah keep us firm and patient and allow us to reap the reward in this time, ameen.
So many people all over the world are being tested with trials the ummah havnt seen before, but inshallah its only a bushrah for this ummah. because theres so many blessing that comes with trials and it wakes up people from their deep sleep. look at what the sahaba had to sacrifice for the islam to be spread and for us to be muslims today..imagine if they gave up? likewise we have to go through the same trials for the sake of the muslim ummah and for islaam to be victorious..and it reminded me of what shaykh ayman al zawahiri hafithahullaah said about shaykh umar abdulrahman fakkalahu asrahu, that he is paying the taxes for islaam with his trials. some people have to go through trials for the sake of islaam and we have to be prepared for that as we never know wat is in await for us. and alhamdulillaah if you are being tested then take it as a bushra that you are inshallah on haq and you are not only benefitting yourself from these trials but the whole ummah, and only Allah knows the reward that is waiting for you in jannah…so glad tidings for you, be patient and stay firm bi idhnillaah and await the reward from Allaah..
And subhanallah we knew that by taking this path that Allah would send trials and tribulations to us and test our ikhlaas, so inshallaah with sabr and thabat Allah will make you a way out from your trials and change them with khayr and barakah, its just a matter of time.
And as Allah swt said in surat al ahzab:
 ”And when the believers saw AlAhzab (the Confederates), they said: “This is what Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) had spoken the truth, and it only added to their faith and to their submissiveness (to Allah).”
so they knew that the nation of kufr would gather against them and when that happened they knew it was the promise of Allah, and subhanallah history will only repeat itself and we know that they will gather against us again so it should only increase us in firmess and imaan.
so bi ithnillaah glad tidings for you who are being tested, and the victory of Allaah is coming..its just a matter of time..
may Allah make me of those who act upon what they say, and may Allah keep me patient when the trials hit my road..
do not forget me in your duaas.
