Fitna (فتنة) § Hadith: (عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: بادروا بالأعمال فتناً كقطع الليل المظلم يصبح الرجل مؤمنا ويمسي كافراً ويمسي مؤمنا ويصبح كافراً، يبيع دينه بعرض من الدنيا ((رواه مسلم)).) (Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a part of the dark night. A man would be a believer in the morning and turn to disbelief in the evening, or he would be a believer in the evening and turn disbeliever in the morning, and would sell his Faith for worldly goods.) – Muslim Book 1, Hadith 87 § The fitnas will come so quickly, in the evening they are reciting Quran, praying the night prayer, and they wake up with so much fitna, and they will become disbeliever, we ask Allah (swt) to protect us. Ameen. § People will sell their religion for the little enjoyment of the duniya. What does selling the deen mean? It means they do not mind if they speak disbelief or act disbelief so that they can get the temporary enjoyments of the duniya. It means the person had faith, belief in Allah (swt) and the Last Day, and these were great treasures. And he was ready to take these ‘treasures’ to a market and sell it for something less, subhan Allah. § Hadith: (تعرض الفتن على القلوب كالحصير عودا فأي قلب اشربها نكت فيه نكته سوداء و اي قلب انكرها نكت فيه نكته بيضاء) (I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be, upon him ) observing: Temptations will be presented to mens hearts as reed mat is woven stick by stick and any heart which is impregnated by them will have a black mark put into it, but any heart which rejects them will have a white mark put in it) – Sahih Muslim 144 · Whoever accepts the fitna, there will be black spots, but whoever turns away from the fitna, then his heart will have a white spot. Meaning his heart will not be affected. § Types of fitna (انواع الفتن): · General fitna (فتنة عامة): meaning an entire population is affected, for example poverty. · Specific fitna (فتنة خاصة): loss of blessings – loss of family members, wealth, etc, temptations, doubts.
