The Muslims in Times of Fitnah - Shaykh Saaleh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله

In the Name of Allaah,the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful

The Muslim’s Position in Times of Fitnah

Shaykh Saaleh al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him

The questioner says:

I’ve read in some of the books of Sharee’ah about the danger of fitan (trials and tribulation) and what will transpire during the end of time, so what is the position of a Muslim in the presence of numerous trials and tribulations?

Shaykh Saaleh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله responded:

Their position (the Muslim) is to learn, firstly, to learn the sound aqeedah – the safe path. Secondly, if they are confused by something, to ask the people of knowledge (for clarification), and clinging to the main body of the Muslims (al-Jamaa’ah) and their leader. Also, warning against misguided, deviant groups and the people of desires, and asking Allah for firmness upon the truth and the religion.
