Allah states in the Quran that it is not enough for mankind to say they believe; they must prove that belief by being tested as well. The Prophet (S) narrated that the early generations were blessed and that it will be the later generations that will be tested with more trials and tribulations. They will be tested such that every time a trial appears, it will make the one before it seem trivial.So how should these later generations prepare? Is it enough to merely "survive" these trials? Or are these trials a means of differentiating true faith from hypocrisy?Learn how Muslims should react to fitnahs and what they can gain (or lose) by them.
