Description
Mus’ab ibn Sa’eed reported: His father asked, “O Messenger of Allah, which people are tested most severely?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “They are the prophets, then the next best, then the next best. A man is tried according to his religion.” (Tirmidhi)
Wisdom. Mercy. Patience.
These lessons go hand in hand with the prophetic experience, sall Allahu alaihi wa sallam.
Join the MSA at Western University for a weekend of learning about his legacy, and the importance of emulating it in our lives.
