Denial of Tribulations (Fitnah) – Rejecting Divine Revelation is Disbelief
Source: Fatāwā Amunpuri by Shaykh Ghulam Mustafa Zaheer Amunpuri
❖ Question:
What is the ruling on someone who denies a tribulation (fitnah) mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ and says that such a trial cannot occur in this Ummah?
❖ Answer:
The tribulations foretold by the Prophet ﷺ will certainly occur, because they are based on divine revelation (waḥy ilāhī).
Therefore, whoever knowingly denies a proven fitnah has in fact denied revelation itself — and denial of revelation constitutes disbelief (kufr).
Conclusion:Rejecting any tribulation that the Prophet ﷺ authentically informed of is tantamount to denying revelation, and such denial is an act of kufr.
