What is meant by understanding reality (Fiqh al-Waqi')
0:13
is that whenever a calamity or major crisis befalls the Ummah,

0:21
while enlightening them with the relevant Shar'i rulings,
0:25
so that they can apply these rulings to the actual event after fully understanding its reality.

thereby spreading chaos and confusion among them.
