Turn Back to Allah

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 36:46). Allah ﷻ states in the Holy Quran: ‘And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.’ No matter how much evidence and signs Allah ﷻ shows people, they [again] stay away and do not pay attention to them. Most people go according to their own minds, desires and ego (nafs); they do not follow what Allah ﷻ shows and commands them. They do not accept what Allah ﷻ commands and insist on living according to their own thinking. Go ahead, live as you like, but then there will be a punishment and its punishment is huge. It’s not like in this world where you can hire a lawyer and get rid of evidence; there is no such thing there [hereafter].

Allah ﷻ has shown you signs and evidence. Everything shows His existence and points to His glory and magnificence yet people think: ‘I’m just going to live as I like then die and that’s it, there’s nothing afterwards’, but there is. There is a judgment and following that judgement and questioning there is a punishment. You will suffer that punishment and nobody can take care of you there. Nobody will vouch for you, neither your father and mother nor your siblings, nobody. When the truth is seen there, everybody will think about saving themselves and they will try to save themselves only. They will have no thought of you or others.

In any event, people of today, and because they do not believe in the hereafter, say: “We’re just going to live and die and that’s it.” However, Allah’s ﷻ promise is the truth, everything He promise will happen and we will see it all. Allah ﷻ doesn’t tyrannize anybody, those who tyrannize are people; humans tyrannize themselves. If you go after lowly and dismal people you will suffer the consequences and the punishment. You think that you’re enjoying yourself here yet you’re just making yourself go lower and lower. You’re doing all sorts of filthy things here and then you think that you’re going to be saved. There is no safety in doing that, the only safety is in going back to Allah ﷻ, turning to Him, believing in Him, asking Him for forgiveness and repenting. Allah ﷻ is the AllForgiving. Allah ﷻ will not turn back a servant who repents to Him. And for all the sins they have committed, He can turn them into good deeds and rewards.

This door is Allah’s ﷻ beautiful door, it is the door of generosity and mercy. Allah ﷻ says to people: “Oh people! Turn back to me”. For those who are oppressing themselves, do not oppress yourselves and Allah ﷻ will not oppress you; turn back to Allah ﷻ. May we turn back to Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ protect us and may He strengthen our faith insha’Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
