Fariq Naik – Why are some People Born Congenital Defects

			The next question, Dr. Nabil from
Kashmir.
		

			He asks, Why are some people born
with congenital defects? If this
		

			is a test for the parents, then
why are non Muslim and eight his
		

			parents tested? Especially the non
Muslim parents? Allah subhanaw
		

			taala says in the Glorious Quran
in surah. Maliki chapter seven
		

			verse number two, Allah the
follicle moto will Hayato Leah
		

			Bilou welcome, Allah, it is Allah
who has created death and life to
		

			test which of your good deeds. So
this life, it is a test for the
		

			hereafter.
		

			And based upon our deeds based
upon our actions, we will be
		

			rewarded or punished in the
hereafter.
		

			So certain people are tested.
Allah subhanaw taala tests
		

			different people in different
ways. And Allah subhanaw taala
		

			says in Surah Baqarah Shabnam to
Western 155 well under below one
		

			Nachum be che in mineral how he
will do when accessing mineral am
		

			Wiley will unfussy with a Murad
whereby she the submarine and we
		

			shall surely test you with
something of fear and hunger and
		

			some loss of lives and wealth, but
give glad tidings to those who
		

			patiently persevere
		

			so Allah subhanaw taala he tests
the believers, Allah subhanaw
		

			taala tests different people in
different ways. And even if the
		

			children they have certain
diseases, it is a test for the
		

			parents. Will they yet be grateful
and thankful to Allah subhanaw
		

			taala? Are the content with the
decree of Allah subhanaw taala or
		

			not?
		

			Even the non Muslim parents is a
test for them? Will they believe
		

			in one God alone? Will they
embrace Islam? Will they be
		

			content with the decree of Allah
subhanaw taala and if they embrace
		

			Islam, if they are content with
the decree of Allah subhanaw taala
		

			their reward will be greater in
the hereafter. Because the greater
		

			the test, the greater the reward.
		

			And just because a person has a
disease, maybe a congenital heart
		

			disease or any other disease, that
does not make him a lesser human
		

			being.
		

			That does not mean that he is a
less righteous person.
		

			Even if a person has a disease, he
can get into paradise.
		

			And it is better for a person to
enter paradise with a disease
		

			rather than entering Hellfire
without having a disease.
		

			So, it is all based upon how you
look at it.
		

			Because for us believers, the
prime goal it is the hereafter,
		

			this life is temporary 60 years,
70 years, 80 years
		

			as Allah subhanaw taala saints
rollin Ron Chapman, three Western
		

			185 nacinda to remote, every soul
shall have a taste of death.
		

			So every person who will
eventually die, this worldly life
		

			is going to end the home of the
Hereafter, it is everlasting and
		

			it is done. So we should prepare
for the home of the Hereafter. And
		

			the criterion for judgment in the
sight of Allah subhanaw taala it
		

			is taqwa It is God consciousness.
Even if a person he has a disease,
		

			he may not have a leg, he may not
have a limit cetera, but
		

			in the sight of Allah subhanaw
taala. He can be greater if he's a
		

			righteous person, if he has a man
if he has Taqwa.
		

			And it reminds me of an incident
of a person who did not have his
		

			hands and legs.
		

			And he was blind.
		

			And he was continuously reciting
the other car. That is He was
		

			remembering Allah subhanaw taala
continuously reciting it, and he
		

			was thanking Allah subhanaw taala.
So, some people they pass by him
		

			and they asked him, that you do
not have your legs, you do not
		

			have your hands you are blind, yet
you are thanking Allah subhanaw
		

			taala yet you are remembering
Allah subhanaw taala so he says
		

			that at least Allah subhanaw taala
Alhamdulillah Allah subhanaw taala
		

			has given me a tongue, wherein I
can praise him. I can do a car I
		

			can recite the praises of Allah
subhanaw taala look at the image
		

			of this person.
		

			Even though he has lost his limbs,
he is blind, but yet he's content
		

			with the decree of Allah subhanaw
taala
		

			because we all know and we all
should strive for the afterlife.
		

			This life it is only temporary and
the home of the Hereafter. It is
		

			everlasting and it is eternal.
