Why Does Allah Allow Believers to Suffer? | Surah Al-Burooj | #10 Tafseer Juz Amma #AMAU

Why does Allah allow the believers to be persecuted while their oppressors seem to grow stronger? Surah Al-Burooj gives an answer that is far more unsettling - and far more hopeful - than simply saying, "Be patient." The believers of the trench were tortured for one reason: they believed in Allah. Their enemies watched them burn. Yet right in the middle of this horrifying account, Allah describes Himself as Al-'Azeez, Al-Hameed - the Almighty, the One worthy of all praise. Why would Allah mention His absolute power at the very moment the believers appear powerless? And what if the people we think are "winning" have misunderstood victory completely? In this Tafseer Juz Amma episode, Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble unpacks the story of the people of the trench, why Allah sometimes allows oppressors to have power, what their apparent success really means, and why Muslim suffering should force us to look at something much closer to home. But Surah Al-Burooj does not only speak about what happens to the oppressed. It also reveals what the Ummah must do when surrounded by weakness, persecution and defeat.
