 Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam foretold that this Ummah would experience tribulations, genocide, and killing. In the hadith that Haqim relates in his Sahih, this nation of mine is a nation, a community that receives a special grace, a special mercy. Its punishment is in this life, earthquakes, tribulations, this was foretold. Whenever we are confused, perplexed, overwhelmed, distraught, disconsolate, we go back to the Book of Allah Ta'ala.
