Mufti Menk – Don’t Forget The Tests Of Yusuf AS

Remember, Yusuf or Joseph, may peace be upon

him, alaihis salatu wasalam.

What happened to him? He was tested, one

test after the other. He was put into

the well. He was taken out by certain

people. He was sold as a slave. He

was then jailed, and one after the other.

Then, when the goodness came in his direction,

it also came one after the other. He

was made one of the leaders, he was

made in charge, and his brothers came back,

and the family was reunited.

At times, some narrations say, almost 40 years

later. Allahu Akbar. Look at the test of

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

One

test, 2nd test,

3rd test, 4th test, all in a row.

Nowadays with us, we are so weak. When

we have 3 tests in a row, we

quickly rush to the ulema and say, I

think someone did some black magic on me.

May Allah protect us.

That's the weakness of iman. If that's what

we think, then really we have lost the

plot, to be honest with you. Those are

tests. If Allah

could test the best with even bigger tests,

who are we? May Allah

help us insha'Allah.

May He make us from those who can

endure. May He make us realize that when

you are going through difficulty,

it is actually a bigger examination

for a higher certificate,

for closeness to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
