The test of believers:
﴾ Do people think once they say, "We believe', that they will be left without being put to test? ﴿
Dear brothers, frankly, life is full of pressures and temptations. But a strong, sincere believer cannot be weakened by the glitter of gold bars nor by the sting of the oppressors' whips. The believer is unyielding.
If someone changes his principles for money- say, a hundred million- he is finished in the Sight of Allah. If a number can buy your conviction, you are lost. By Allah, even if a believer were offered a billion while living in poverty, on condition that he speaks against his conscience, he would remain silent. That's how the companions were - one of them was worth a thousand. Today, sadly, a million can be sold for nothing more than a sigh of annoyance - an "uff!" Something so trivial, so worthless. Back then, one was worth a thousand. So, stand firm. Be a person of principle. Allah is present. And remember that speaking the truth will never cut off your provision nor bring your death any closer.
