Among the benefits of the struggle between the people of truth and falsehood:
0:12
Allah has decreed that His defense of those who believe shall be carried out through their own efforts.
0:20
He did not make it a gift that descends upon them from the heavens without any exertion.
0:25
Allah the Almighty says:
0:27
"That is so; and if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them Himself."
0:31
"But He does so to test some of you by means of others."
0:35
Among the benefits of this:
0:37
The testing of both the people of truth and the people of falsehood.
0:40
As the verse has clarified.
0:42
And as it is stated in the hadith qudsi:
0:45
"I have only sent you to test you and to test others through you."
0:49
Narrated by Muslim.

The truth becomes illuminated and manifest whenever it is challenged by falsehood,
1:11
as its proofs and evidences become clear.
1:14
Thus, the veracity of the truth and its reality are revealed.
