𝗠𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 (74)

The Three Greatest Trials for Men Men are destroyed by three things. By Allāh, no man falls into them except that his religion is weakened, his dignity is damaged, and the blessing in his life disappears. 1⃣. The first destructive thing is private sins. When a person is alone, his true state of Ēmān is revealed — whether it is sincere or fake. The Prophet ﷺ said: “I know people from my nation who will come on the Day of Judgment with good deeds as huge as mountains, but Allāh will make them like scattered dust.” The companions asked about them. He said: “They pray as you pray, fast as you fast, and give charity as you give charity. But when they are alone and able to sin, they violate Allah’s limits.” How often a man loses his dignity, religion, and purity because of what he does in private. 2⃣. The second destructive thing is wealth. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Every Ummah has a fitnah, and the fitnah of my Ummah is wealth.” Many people become weak in front of money and feed their children from unlawful earnings. The Prophet also said: “Any body that grows from unlawful gain, the Fire is more deserving of it.” If you want to test a man, test him in money and financial dealings. 3⃣. The third — and the greatest — destructive thing is the temptation of women. No man falls into it except that poverty comes close to him, the blessing in his life disappears, and his dignity fades. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Fear this world and fear women, for the first fitnah of the Children of Israel was through women.” Whoever falls into one of these destructive matters loses the blessing in his life, weakens his religion, and may lose his wealth. Allāh says: “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allāh is fully aware of what they do.” Source: https://t.me/Menzbenefits/279
