What does Iman look like when life begins to hurt? When sickness enters your life, it can bring more than physical pain. It can leave you afraid, confused and searching for answers. Why has Allah allowed this to happen? Is it a punishment, a test, or a sign of His love? And how should a believer respond when patience feels difficult? AMAU presents The Believer’s Response, a new podcast series exploring how a Muslim faces the moments that shake the heart: sickness, financial loss, grief, betrayal, marital struggles, failure and uncertainty. When every door seems closed, and the heart feels overwhelmed, Islam does not leave the believer without direction. In the first episode, Sheikh Abdullahi Abdissalam joins us for a deeply personal conversation about sickness. He explores the wisdom behind illness, what it means to pass the test, how to distinguish natural sadness from blameworthy complaint, and how hardship can become a means of forgiveness, growth and closeness to Allah. He also shares his own journey through chronic illness - and why, years later, he considers it one of the greatest gifts Allah gave him. For anyone facing sickness, caring for someone who is ill, or struggling to understand a painful decree, this episode offers perspective, reassurance and hope. 00:00 Welcome to The Believer's Response 01:35 Why Does Allah Test Us with Sickness? 05:24 How Do You Know If You Are Passing the Test? 07:51 How to Know Whether It’s a Sign of Allah’s Love or Punishment 10:10 Why Every Situation Is Good for the Believer 19:38 Is It Wrong to Complain About Your Trials? 25:39 The Sickness That Changed Sheikh Abdullahi's Life 40:17 Is It Possible to See Sickness as a Gift from Day One? 44:52 The Hidden Sickness of the Heart & Its Cure 51:01 Final Advice for Anyone Facing a Trial Sign up now to AMAU Academy: https://www.amauacademy.com/ AMAU Academy: https://www.amauacademy.com/ AMAU Junior: https://amaujunior.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amauofficial/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AMAU Telegram: https://t.me/amauofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AMAUofficial Twitter: https://twitter.com/AMAUofficial iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/al-madrasatu-al-umariyyah/id1524526782 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/08NJC1pIA0maaF6aKqZL4N Get in Touch: https://amau.org/getintouch BarakAllahu feekum. #AMAU #Islam #Dawah
