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.
