O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you,
that ye may (learn) self-restraint
[Quran: Chapter 2:183]

Facing Hardships or Trials With Iman

During the last 10 days of Ramadan, Muslims pray fervently to Allah for forgiveness for sins committed knowingly or unknowingly. Many will also seek His blessings for good in this world and in the Hereafter. If someone is facing hardships or particular trials, he will ask for relief from his worries and difficulties.

Shaykh Abu Muntasir from the UK speaks in a two part series on Facing Trials with Iman.

The Shaykh explains that it is the Sunnah of Allah to grant relief after hardship. In fact Allah promises his relief to follow hardship. The pious savants who proceded us had absolute trust in this and Shaykh Abu Muntasir reminds us that if Allah does not keep his promise who will?

The Shaykh reminds us that tests that we face are opportunities of patience and grattitude. Moreover Allah promises a way out for those with Taqwa. Taqwa being the key to the pleasure of Allah.

Shaykh Abu Muntasir also mentions things according to the Quran and the Sunnah that will expedite the help of Allah:

1) Know Allah during good times
2) Invocation to Allah
3) Salaat was-Salaam (Sending Prayers and Peace upon RasoolAllah)
4) Seeking nearness to Allah through good deeds
5) Reliance upon Allah
6) Having a good opinion of Allah
