Don’t Approach Bad Ones

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.

Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan to be careful and not be together with bad ones, ‘ ’, ‘lest you be touched by the Fire’. (Qur’ān 11:113). Fire will touch you too. Sometimes they say, “Let us be with them so that they come to us”. There are some people who come to goodness and there are dangerous ones who will not come. If you go after the dangerous ones in order to invite them to goodness, they will tread on your toes. May Allah ﷻ protect you, you will become one of them. There are many people who are so. They were good people performing their worship in the beginning. And suddenly, they left the right way and went astray.

Therefore, we should be careful. You should first of all protect yourself. Do not obey your ego. While you obey your ego in order to do good things for them, your ego will turn you upside down. And instead of you educating your ego, it will leave you without education. When a man enters the sea, his feet should feel the ground. As soon as you don’t touch it, waves can take you away. No matter how well you swim, you won’t be able to save yourself. This is like that. It is even more dangerous. Here, you lose your life. There, you will remain forever in hell. May Allah ﷻ protect us. Waves are very dangerous and very bad at this time.

As we said, people who used to pray five times a day and stood up for Tahajjud prayers at night suddenly disappeared. You wonder what may have happened to them. They were overconfident and started something beyond their abilities, so they got lost in it. Therefore, we should be careful. People can lose their ways, but those who went astray will not improve. Do not approach those who do things which are contrary to human nature. Wish them well from afar and keep on. It is dangerous to come close to them. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May our ends be good; this is the important thing, the place where we will end up. This Dua is important. May we be with good ones insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
