It is reported that Hudayfah radiAllahu anhu was asked, “What is the WORST Fitnah!”
He replied: “The Good and Evil presented to you and you do not know which of them to follow”

Critical Reasoning 1: What’re the Criteria to understand right and wrong?
What’s this hadith from a sahabi mean?
The ability to understand right and wrong would decline.
Isn’t that the case today?
Not really, it declined not in this generation but few generations before if you are to know the truth.
Who will give you certain knowledge about what is right and what is wrong?
Society? The ‘enlightened’ mind of society? No way! They will teach you right and wrong according to their perception, according to their time and according to their societal perspectives.
Science? No way! Science doesn’t bother about the values of the society, morality or humanity.
Then who or where you turn to understand what is right or what is wrong?
Only to the creator of men. He sets the law, He sets the criteria.
And you Muslim left Quran long back and you now judge by the criteria set by men. And the result? The obvious scenario, declining humanity to the level of insects that even a Muslim now has no capability to understand what is right and what is wrong.
And that’s a disaster, even though he has the FURQAN, (The Criterion to Judge right and wrong) (Quran 25:1)
May Allah guide the Muslims.
Critical Reasoning 2: What’s your status with Allah?
Allah doesn’t want good for him. Aujubillah.
May Allah make all Muslims to study and understand the deen of Allah.
