Summary

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses the Orlando shooting and how Muslims should react and protect themselves from the condemnation and take immense measures to ensure their safety. The religion of Islam prohibits killing of innocents and does not encourage this evil and in the Qur'an, Allah says: "Whoever kills an innocent soul it is as if he has killed all of mankind". Our Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever kills a non-Muslim with whom there is a treaty, that person will not smell the scent of paradise.” This atrocity should not be encountered with unnecessary explanations and apologies as we were not a part of it to begin with. Islam has a very thorough moral and ethical foundation and hence, we cannot be made to be a part of this nuisance. We as Muslims need to exercise extra precaution and care when it comes to these matters and should take steps to overcome these untoward happenings in our lives. Most importantly, we should counter evil with sheer goodness and kindness and this will go a long way in curbing such horrendous acts of terror and grief.

1:07.6	Fitan in the Arabic translates as trials but as I have said many times before, the actual meaning of Fitan and Fitina is to sift through, is to sift through.
