What Is Going On? We are living at a time when everything is tainted by doubt, uncertainty and confusion. The Muslim Ummah is going through trials and tribulations all over the world. In Arabic this state is referred to as fitna. Fitna originates from the root word fa ta na which means refining of gold to remove impurities. It is a process through which Allah SWT brings out the inner realities of people and through which He separates believers from unbelievers and hypocrites. Allah SWT will test every soul before they leave this world by some sort of fitna. Allah SWT tells us in Surah Anbiya:Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned. (Anbiya 21:35) And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing. (Furqan 25:20) During the time of fitna (tribulations), truth and falsehood will be mixed and it will be very difficult to distinguish between the two. Only those who are guided by Allah SWT and meant to be saved will be able to see the difference and choose the right path. Let’s get an in-depth understanding of this topic through the words of Allah SWT and His Prophet SAW. Read each verse and hadeeth carefully and take notes of things to avoid and things to do during such times. The most troublesome fitna is one that takes people away from guidance of Allah SWT. May Allah SWT have mercy on us and allow us to overcome the tribulations instead of them overcoming us.
