The End of Ramadan

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. Madad. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

The holy Ramadan is almost over. They say that it is a good visitor. They say the same thing every year but indeed, it comes to an end like everything else. Just like everything in this world has its end, this beautiful month is ending too. Therefore, in old times, they used to say farewell to it and they probably do so now as well. It is not clear when, but insha’Allah we will reach many more years and many more Ramadans with stronger and better Islamic world, with Muslims reaching the Sahib; this is the most beautiful.

Despite all hardships, since it was very difficult for many people this year, the holy month came as mercy. It has eased people’s troubles a bit. It is easier for believers as everything comes from the Creator; they have this belief. Those who are not Muslim are in bad conditions because they don’t know the reason of it and they think that they can change it by themselves. They do one thing and another thing comes along. As long as we live in this world, tests will not finish. Those who pass the tests are Muslims, people who believe in Allah ﷻ. Those who come against Allah ﷻ will never be in profit and their ends are bad. Therefore, this month is going away like a visitor. Another Ramadan has passed through our lives. May we always reach more Ramadans with strength and Iman insha’Allah.

Allah ﷻ has given the beauty of this month to Muslims regardless of place. Even in a place where there are no Muslims, when a Muslim is there in Ramadan, Allah ﷻ lets him feel its beauty. However, other people don’t know this beauty and taste of Iman. They come against it and deprive themselves from these favors. Allah ﷻ is giving to everyone. He says, “Take. My treasures are limitless”. Don’t think that His favors would decrease if the whole world was Muslim. Even if the whole universe becomes Muslim, what they get from treasures of Allah ﷻ is not even a drop from it. It is not even as an atom. If it was like an atom, it would finish. But the treasures of Allah ﷻ do not finish. It is enough for everyone and more.

Therefore, we have to make Shukr to Allah ﷻ for these favors and Iman. Iman is the biggest favor, the greatest beauty. Those who carry out the orders of Allah ﷻ reach the taste of Iman. Some people say that they don’t get it. You do but shaytan is not showing it to you. He is cheating you. Every Muslim has that beauty inside him. When they obey the orders, they get that taste and the beauty. Its wisdom is in worship and obedience, staying away from the forbidden and carrying out the orders. This is important in order to feel the beauty and the taste. Only then do you become a beloved servant of Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ make us all from the beloved servants insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
