Islamic Principles for the Muslim’s Attitude during Fitan (trials, tribulations, afflictions, calamities)
This is the translation of an extremely important book by the eminent scholar Ash-Shaikh Saaleh Aal-Shaikh. In it are essential guidelines from the Sunnah and the example of the sahabah, on how a Muslim should think and behave in situations of tribulations, trials or calamities.
Allah’s Messenger used to frequently seek refuge with Allah from Fitan. And he used to warn against Fitan. Therefore Imam al-Bukharee (rahimahullah) began, ‘The Book of Fitan’ in his Saheeh (al-Bukharee) with the following chapter:
The Saying of Allah, “Fear the Fitna which affects not only those of you who do wrong…” and the warnings of Allah’s Messenger against Fitan.
So it is necessary for us to warn (ourselves and others) against Fitan before it arises and stay far away from any thing that might take us close to or lead to Fitan. When Fitan arise, it does not only seize the unjust, rather it afflicts everyone.
