What happens when Allah tests you with the one thing you thought you could never bear to lose? Your health. Your child. Your safety. Your strength. It is easy to speak about Sabr when life is calm. But what does patience actually look like when the trial becomes deeply personal? How do you stop grief from turning into resentment? How do you remain grateful when something precious is taken from you? And how do you protect your Iman when the pain feels overwhelming? The early Muslims were tested in ways most of us can barely imagine. In this episode, Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble takes us through remarkable moments from the lives of Bilal Ibn Rabah, Umm Sulaym, ʿUrwah Ibn az-Zubayr and Abu Qilabah al-Jarmi. Each of them faced a different kind of trial. And each response leaves you with a very different understanding of what Sabr really means.
