Examples of the Salaf Holding on to Hot Coals in Times of Fitnah

Shaykh Abū Ḥakīm

Examples of how the Companions encountered differing and fitnah, how Ahl al-Sunnah are indeed tried and tested and the importance of holding fast to the Book and the Sunnah – for there is no escaping the trials that befall a person or a community.

  • Ahl al-Sunnah are the strangers
  • Ahl al-Sunnah are tried with fitnah
  • Examples of the trials of the Companions and the Imāms of the Salaf (main focus of the lecture)
  • How will you proceed in our time, when fitnah comes to you? Will you always be able to shy away from a decision (between right/wrong)?
