The Three Types of Fitna

This podcast episode discusses the concept of fitna, which can be categorized into three types. The first type is fitna from Allah, where individuals are tested and face challenges as part of Allah's plan. An example of this is the story of Prophet Musa (Moses), who faced various trials throughout his life. The second type is fitna caused by people, when individuals are put in difficult situations or face persecution from others. Even one's own children can be a source of fitna. The third type is self-imposed fitna, where individuals blame Allah for their hardships without recognizing their own role in bringing them about. The episode explores how these different types of fitna play out in our lives and emphasizes the importance of understanding the true nature of these trials.
