The Mihna refers to an event during the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate where ulema were pressured to accept the Mu'tazali view of the Qur'an as being created, rather than the mainstream position of it being the Word of Allah.
Sheikh Muhammed Shirazi recounts Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal's stand against this oppression and the importance of standing for the truth.
