Allah states:
“So, verily, there’s Ease with Hardship. Verily, there’s Ease with Hardship.”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.94, V.5&6)
My Nigga Mohamed Bahe had gotten Caught-Up in the Real-Life Version of the Famous T.V.-Series “House Of Cards”. They threw Bahe under the Bus. Now, with this being said: Bahe 1-Day made a Public-Post, about Trials, Tests, Tribulations, etc. Bahe got hit with very Serious/Damning Corruption-Charges, resulting from them being Part of the Eric Adams Mayoral-Administration via New York City.
Gareth Bryant & Mohamed Bahe shared the Following-Exchange via Bahe’s Post-Thread based on what Bahe had posted:

“@Gareth Bryant what? It has to get worse before it heals right?”
GB
“@Mohamed Bahe Not all da Time my Nigga…ironically while lecturing via Nairobi, Kenya I literally discussed what you’ve mentioned. As per the Claim that al-Fitn (Trials, Tests, etc.) can/will get worse:
It exclusively depends…
…it’s 💯%-Relative/Conditional.”
GB
“@Mohamed Bahe
We have to remember something…
…quite literally everything Allah wills, wants, allows, etc. to occur is a Fitnah (Trial/Test),
regardless of such Fitn (Trials/Tests) being positive or negative:
Life…Fitnah
Death…Fitnah
Obeying Allah…Fitnah
Disobeying Allah…Fitnah
Being Muslim…Fitnah
Being Non-Muslim…Fitnah
Being Just…Fitnah
Being Tyrannical…Fitnah
Being an Oppressor…Fitnah
Being Oppressed…Fitnah
Being a Powerful-Person…Fitnah
Being a Powerless-Person…Fitnah
Being a Strong-Person…Fitnah
Being a Weak-Person…Fitnah
Being a Careful-Person…Fitnah
Being a Careless-Person…Fitnah
Being an Empathetic-Person…Fitnah
Being an Apathetic-Person…Fitnah
Being an Affluent-Person…Fitnah
Being an Impoverished-Person…Fitnah
Being a Smart-Person…Fitnah
Being a Dumb-Person…Fitnah
Being a Beautiful-Person…Fitnah
Being an Ugly-Person…Fitnah
Being a Pretty-Person…Fitnah
Being an Unpretty-Person…Fitnah
etc.”
There’s just so many Fitn (Trials, Tests, etc.) which Allah imposes upon us, assessing whom amongst us will pass vs. fail. And, none of us will ever truly know the Test-Results of ad-Dunyā/the Mundane, until we hit the Yard of al-Ākhirah/the Hereafter.
And, this is precisely how/why al-Ijtihād/Decision-Making isn’t only for al-`Ulamā’ (Persons-Of-Knowledge): it’s equally for the Average/Regular-Muslim as well.

We’ve all got to make Decisions. And, let’s keep it All-The-Way-Tall, as I always tell People:
There’s no such Thing as an “Easy-Decision”, but rather only Necessary-Decisions.
https://gbwrites.com/2024/05/10/mynecessarydecisions/
And, even the Best-Decisions have Hardships attached to them. Moreover, even the Best-Decisions don’t always feel like the Best-Decisions. But, Decisions must always be made though. So, with that being said: Hardship is most definitely a Spiritual/Psycho-Emotional Ass-Kicker. But, that’s not what matters. What matters is whether or not we keep Fighting-Back, in spite of getting our Asses kicked spititually/psycho-emotionally. It’s easy to just Lay-Down and take an Ass-Whippin. But, it’s Hard-As-Fuck to Fight-Back against an Ass-Whippin.
