In his book, Siyar A'laam An-Nubalaa' (11/238), Ath-Thahabi said that
during the ordeal of Imaam Ahmad it was said to him, "O Abu
'Abdullaah! Do you not see that falsehood is being victorious over the
truth?" He replied, "No. The victory of falsehood over truth is when
the hearts change from guidance to error but ourhearts are still
adhering to the truth."
How badly are we in need for this accurate criterion that shows the
reality of the victory of falsehood over truth, especially in this age
when many hearts have been affected by trials of doubtful issues and
desires, we seek refuge with Allaah The Almighty from them.
One of the most serious trials is confusion about the reality of the
victory of the truth in one's heart which may be induced by any cause,
since confusion about the criteria of judgment necessarily leads to an
unstable methodology. Atthis point, the person on his way of Allaah
The Almighty becomes confused because of the confusion of criteria, as
he sometimes links the truth to the greater number of followers; some
other times, he links it to power; and sometimes to victory of the
people of falsehood or any other thing. None of this brings any
benefit to man.
Indeed, the conviction of Imam Ahmad in refuting this allegation, that
some of his companions mentioned, was not an instant reaction, but it
was the result of his profound understanding of the Book of Allaah and
the Seerah (biography) of HisMessenger, along withhis scrutiny of the
historyof the people of the truthin their struggle against falsehood
and the peoplewho follow it.
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):
· } That He should establish the truth and abolish falsehood, even
ifthe criminals disliked it. { [Quran 8:8]
· } And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is
falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart." { [Quran 17:81]
· } Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and
thereupon it departs. Andfor you is destruction from that which you
describe. { [Quran 21:18]
Anyone who contemplates the previous verses and those that are similar
cannever be shaken regarding the fact that the truth must be
victorious and must triumph over falsehood and those who follow it.
Since this is addressed to our dear Muslim sisters, they should bear
this factin mind especially at this time when many women are awed by
the glamourof falsehood and have weakened belief in the truth.
This entails that women should recognize the truth by means of its
evidence so that it wouldremain an established belief in the heart and
cannot be shaken by temporary changes or temptations.
The concealed Fitnah (trial) in this regard is represented in two matters:
The first one is the confusion between truth and falsehood because
ofthe great number of those who call to falsehood and the powerful
means that they use to propagate it.
The second one is that many Muslim women have become negligent in
seeking the truth and knowing its supporting proof which gives
strength to their 'Aqeedah (creed) and faith. Supporting proof islike
a weapon that is necessary for the one who is engaged in fighting. If
someone goesto war without a weapon, what would happen to him?
Because of this, the evidence that a woman holds to support the
correctness of what she isdoing will be vulnerable and she will be in
a state of emotional defence without being able to show the proofs and
make her true argument victorious. She will be criticized by others
and will soon receive a fatal blow because of attacks of criticism.
When this happens, she will becomeweak enough to be a recipient which
is a disaster as she surrendersand her faith deteriorates (we seek
refuge with Allaah The Almighty from this).
In conclusion, Muslim women nowadays, are badly in need to be armed
with knowledge that is coupled with proof, not only to be enlightened
and certain regarding religious matters, but also to transfer this
knowledge to others before they are swept away by the flood, and
before they become confused about the criteria of judging the victory
of the truth. To Allaah The Almighty belongs the command before and
after. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): } He whom Allaahguides
is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray -- never willyou
find for him a protecting guide. { [Quran18:17] - - ▓███▓

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
