b"Fitnah\\nDelivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 25th January 2019 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester\\n\\nVideo: https://youtu.be/1koLszfr5Ro\\n\\nIn Arabic the word 'fitnah' was originally used to stress-test gold in order to purify it from mixed substances. It is now commonly used to show how Allah tests a believer to see if they will be pure or turn away from His mercy. We are surrounded by tests, both major and minor; in politics, history and in our personal life. These trials have been foretold by All\\u0101h and His Ras\\u016bl \\ufdfa and many examples throughout history have been illustrated in this talk.\\n\\nThese tests, however, should not make us despondent in life. Rather we should respond to them with good deeds, silence, patience, taqwa and realising that our aim should be for the hereafter.\\n\\nBelow are some of the topics mentioned in this talk:\\n- The purpose of our creation\\n- The Prophet \\ufdfa foretelling fitan\\n- Fitnah in our spouses, families and children\\n- Meaning of fitan in the minor sense and major sense\\n- The great sahabi 'Uthm\\u0101n ibn Ma\\u1e93'\\u016bn r.a\\n- The great fitnah after Umar r.a\\n- Fitnah being stoked by the mun\\u0101fiq\\u016bn\\n- How we should respond to fitan\\n\\n**********************************************************************\\n\\nWebsite: www.akacademy.org\\nYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/alkawtharacademy\\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/alkawtharacademy\\nTwitter: www.twitter.com/alkawthar\\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alkawtharacademy\\n\\n**********************************************************************"
