Alhamdulillah, this series is very timely with the current pandemic environment we are in. It is important to understand what our deen teaches us about the reality of our life in this dunyaa, and how the Qur’an and Sunnah shed light on the overall trajectory (and/or dejectory) of humanity. The life of this dunya is fleeting and our existence is predicated on the idea that we will be tested, facing fitan, or tests. Sometimes we see what is going on around us, thinking how crazy people are behaving, how far people are from the deen, and how difficult it is to avoid confusion in all matters.
Kitab al-Fitan is a collection of hadiths from our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, that lays out the different kinds of trails that the ummah will face with the passage of time and as we get closer and closer to the Day of Judgement. Shaykh Waleed does a lovely job of giving us the overview in three part series, extracting the benefits and wisdoms of many of the hadiths that help us protect us from the tests.
the most important thing we learn is that we need to protect our deen over everything else, in sha Allah. May Allah bless Shaykh Waleed, and we seek refuge in Allah from the increasing fitan of our time!
