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

(Qur’ān 06:93). Allah ﷻ states in the Holy Quran: ‘And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allah revealed."’ Are there any that are more unjust than those who lie in the name of Allah ﷻ, says Allah ﷻ. Those who invent untruth about Allah ﷻ and say that Allah ﷻ said such things that were not said just for their own benefit and their own Nafs (ego) are unjust people. Why? Because they’re also misguiding others from the path of Haqq (truth) and dragging them to their own way and to the path of shaytan. May Allah ﷻ not leave son of man to his own ego.

We are living in end times now, it used to happen before but now it’s more. So that people may do whatever their ego desires, they do all sorts of trickery and lies. They don’t care whether the other person is poor, in need or weak; they don’t care at all. Like a hungry animal, they attack people for whatever they have, their money and what is more important their Iman (faith); they put those in danger. Allah ﷻ says that they are oppressors. They invent lies about Allah ﷻ. Allah’s ﷻ Sharia (Law) is clear. They make things according to their own minds, things that are not in religion and even inhuman. Just for their own benefit and to fool people, they use these things. What can we say to them? Even if we tell people to be careful, still whatever Allah ﷻ wills happens. They do it then they question themselves saying: “How did I do that?”, and they regret it. It means that they had to suffer through it. But again, we should be careful. If there are things that are not in religion, we need to ask and look around. What kind of thing is this? Is this true or not? They must ask true Ulama (scholars) or they should think for themselves: “What kind of thing is this?” They need to think a little by themselves. But as we said, whatever Allah ﷻ says happens. Sometimes people have that Nasib (destiny) and they’re meant to suffer through it. They suffer through it yet some are saved and some are not saved.

There are plenty of swindlers and liars. We are living in end times and there’s no chance but to keep your eyes open. You could be facing a liar or a swindler at any moment. Some swindle your money, others and what is worse play with your Iman (faith) and swindle you with it; that is more dangerous. [As for] the other which is money, your money may be lost but your faith is kept. If your faith is played with and it’s injured then that is bad, may Allah ﷻ protect us. We need to be careful. There are some fake ones. A bad Aalim (scholar) is straight away a bad Aalim but they’re not fake. However, there are fake people who claim to be in Tariqa and claim to be Shaykh, Wakīl and Khalifah. There are plenty of people like this who have no truth to it so we need to be more careful of them. When you see something [like that] you should certainly question it.

Those of ours who are Wakīls (representatives) are many thank Allah ﷻ, insha’Allah they are on the right path. Those who are Wakīls, whenever we give them that task they sometimes ask for a paper certifying that. We write it down and give it to them but we also right down that if they go against Sharia (Sacred Law) and Tariqa then they no longer have representation left and they’re not a Wakīl anymore. We have nothing to fear or to be ashamed of. We are afraid and ashamed of Allah ﷻ only. The Wakīls should abide by the Sharia and the Tariqa. If you go outside of this, then this paper that we gave you has no value. However, Alhamdulillah they have no such thing and they know this. But the fake ones who come out and say: “I am a Khalifah, I am a Wakīl”, we should not listen to them. May Allah ﷻ make us meet good ones. May we always be with good ones insha’Allah. May good and sincere people come insha’Allah. May nobody be hurt nor oppressed insha’Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
