The word *FITNA* is from the word فتن which means *to burn* or to *try by fire*.
(ˈfɪtnɑː) / noun. a state of trouble or chaos.
fitnah, (Arabic: “trial” or “test”)
Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamaan asked:
'O Messenger of Allaah, we were in a state of ignorance (jaahiliyyah) and evil, then Allaah sent us this good (i.e., Islam). Will there be any evil after this good?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Will there by any good after that evil?’ He said, ‘Yes, but it will be tainted.’ I said, ‘How will it be tainted?’ He said, ‘(There will be) some people who will guide others in a way that is not according to my guidance. You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of others.’ I said, ‘Will there be any evil after that good?’ He said, ‘Yes, there will be people calling at the gates of Hell, and whoever responds to their call, they will throw them into it (the Fire).’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, describe them to us.’ He said, ‘They will be from among our people, speaking our language.’ I said, ‘What do you command me to do if I live to see such a thing?’ He said, ‘Adhere to the jamaa’ah (group, community) of the Muslims and their imaam (leader).’ I asked, ‘What if there is no jamaa’ah and no leader?’ He said, ‘Then keep away from all those groups, even if you have to bite (eat) the roots of a tree until death overtakes you whilst you are in that state.’”
☆WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THIS ?
#EVIL will always remain but it will come in different forms, to attract us, to confuse us and to make us indifferent because we dont understand it. Even tempt us towards it.
☆IS FITNA A FORM OF EVIL?
YES! EVIL multiplied.
☆Why is it important for us?
Because it doesnt affect one house hold but shakes the fiber of the entire society mostly *moral* fiber. Like a wave that will drown all and no one will be saved from it. If we read the meaning of the world "Fitna" again then it suffice to say that "it will burn the fiber of the society". Its a trial a test of #Iman not just any test but a trial of fire. It can also tempt many towards this evil. Its a state of trouble & chaos.
☆What should we do?
WE should stop it . To save ourselves and others.
☆ HOW CAN WE STAY INDIFFERENT WHEN SOMETHING IS THERE TO BURN US ????
Thankfully there are many who are raising their voice. Help them, join them.
