Stay Away from Bad People

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya Sadat As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Dastur Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani.

The luckiest among people is the one who believes in Allah ﷻ and is Muslim. The unluckiest is the one who comes against Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ says in the Holy Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, ‘ ’, ‘When the most wretched of them was sent forth.’ (Qur’ān 91:12). It means the wretched person, the worst person is the unlucky person. Their luck is bad. They have never benefited from Allah’s ﷻ favors and they come against Allah ﷻ. Such things have always been among people. But as it is the end of times now, people of that type became a lot. They commit a sin and think that they’ve done something big in front of Allah ﷻ and people. Led by their arrogance, they make sins demonstrating them. They have no shame, no embarrassment. Moreover, they want people to like them and be like them. They pulled Allah’s ﷻ affliction towards themselves and they are in this affliction. It is not anything else. It’s not a favor, it is only affliction.

We should stay away from such people. These people are worthless, they have no value. To respect them or to try to please them and to bother believing servants of Allah ﷻ is useless. Also in the end of times, people are scared. In order to avoid their harm, they flatter them so that no harm comes from them. The more you do so, the worse they become. They burst with pride and go wilder.

Therefore, there’s no need at all to show respect to such people, to people who come against Allah ﷻ. There’s no need to value them. You should value the friends of Allah ﷻ. Don’t be scared from those who come against Allah ﷻ. If you stop mentioning them, they are just worthless people; as they don’t have any value and no benefit comes from them. You can serve them as much as you want and you will be harmed anyway.

An Arab poet said, “Be generous to a generous person and you'd win him, be generous to a mean person and he'd rebel on you.” When you do good to a good person, he will become your servant; you will become his master. And when you do good to a bad person, he will become just worse. Therefore, we say to everyone that we are living in the end of times, stay away from bad people because they have no benefit here and their end is bad in the hereafter. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ protect us from their harm because they are wretched people. Goodness will never come from them. May Allah ﷻ protect the Ummah (nation), this country and the whole Islamic world. May Allah ﷻ help us. May Allah ﷻ give understanding to all Muslims and may we be with the good ones insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
