Believers Purification

"And that Allah may purify the believers {through trials} and destroy the disbelievers" (141)

Surah - Ali Imran
Quran

Wise Man

Omar bin Abdul Aziz - may Allah be pleased with him - known for wisdom and kindness, and one day, one of his sons came to him, and said: oh my father! Why do you go easy on some things ?! If I were you I will not fear anyone for the right; his father said:God dispraise the wine in the Qur'an twice and then forbid it in the third time, and I fear that I will bring the people to the right, and they will refuse it (i.e I am afraid that I will force them on it once and they will reject it).so trial would occur. The son was satisfied after reassuring the good policy of his father and learned that the blessing of his father is not weakness, but the result of his understanding of his religion.

The Story of Difficult Question

A great sheikh came to the Imam al-Shafei and asked him: What evidence and proof in the religion of Allah? Al-Shaafa'i said: The Book of Allaah. The Sheikh said: And what, else? He said: The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. Sheikh said: And what else? He said: the Umma's agreement. The Sheikh said: Where did you say the agreement of the Umma? Al-Shaafa'i said nothing, Skeikh said "I will give you three days. Imam al-Shafei went to his home and continued to read and look for it. Three days later, the sheikh came to the Shafi'i Council, and he saluted and sat down. Al-Shaafa'i said to him: I read the Qur'an every day and night three times until God guided me to the verse: "Whoever shatters the messenger after what is revealed to him is guided and follows the path of the believers. It is contrary to what was agreed by Muslim scholars without a valid proof that God introduced to fire, and worsened fate".Who so ever contradict what Muslim scholars agreed upon without authentic evidence will enter hellfire. Sheikh said: true.
