The Hidden Enemies

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

(Qur’ān 02:148). Allah ﷻ states in the Holy Quran: ‘To each is a goal to which Allah turns him; then strive together (as in a race) Towards all that is good.’ Allah ﷻ gave a direction to everyone. Therefore, run towards good deeds. Compete in goodness. Do not compete in evil. Do not deal with those who do evil. Stay away from them. You should stay away from them in order to be on the way of Allah ﷻ. When you are close to them, you can catch their evil and sickness. The things they do are nothing but evil. And evil brings evil. It will not bring goodness.

This time that we are living in is the time of Fitnah. It shows itself as true, whereas it is the opposite. It is not true but false. They cheat people and want these people to follow them. Just like magicians tricked people into believing them during the time of Musa ‘alayhi s-salam, now it is the time of those who say that they are Muslims and oppress other Muslims. You try to stay away from them yet they come and bother you. Even though there is so much Kufr and oppression, they deal with Muslims and those who are on the right way. Why? Because they are with the oppressors. They work for them and run to help them. They seem right and overthrow you from inside. This is the cause of the condition of the Islamic world now.

When you have an apparent enemy, you can deal with him. But this enemy is trying to defeat you from inside. The harm he causes you is a thousand times bigger than the other one. We should know this and be cautious. The former is easy; the apparent enemy is easy. The hidden enemies who turn into traitors are worse. They are hypocrites who are on the depth of hell. A thousand enemies cannot do what only one of them does. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ help us. May the heedless Muslims wake up. We know the apparent enemies. They should be cautious about the hidden ones. Who are they? They are those who have been rejecting the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ and trying to make their own way. They showed up after the Ottoman Empire. But insha’Allah their end will come. Nothing lasts forever in this world. Everything has an end and they have their end too insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ protect the Muslims from Fitnah. This Fitnah is a big Fitnah. May Allah ﷻ help us insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ strengthen our iman and make us firm on this right way.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
