Learn from the Mistakes

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

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

(Qur’ān 03:140). Allah ﷻ states in the Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan: ‘And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people.’ In these days, there will always be a ruling by someone from people, coming one after another. Someone will come after this one. And then someone else will come after him as well. This is the ruling Allah ﷻ gave to mankind. All of them will not be ruling forever. Certainly, others will come, good and bad. Allah ﷻ gives a ruler according to the people’s condition. He gives you people like yourself, those whom you deserve.

Therefore, there is no need to be sad about things that happened before. What happened has happened. Arabs say, “What’s done is done”. And Turkish people say that you cannot prevent what is coming. Things have occurred. You have to take a lesson from them and stay away from mistakes. In order not to repeat mistakes and cause troubles, we should look at them and take our lesson. Of course, you feel sad for what’s happened. But what can you do? It has already happened. You cannot do anything with it. You should be careful yourself and protect yourself.

You should guard the favors Allah ﷻ has given you. Make Shukr for the favors so that they last. And the greatest favor is the favor of Islam, then the favor of homeland and the government of Islam, thank Allah ﷻ. These are big favors. We should not underestimate them. Allah ﷻ gave these things to you. You should know their value and give their right. People are living by taking everything for granted. They are sad for the past and are suffering, but they don’t take a lesson. When the same mistakes are repeated, your sadness is useless. When you learn from the mistake and stay away from that mistake, you get benefit and you don’t give a chance to bad people.

These days are sometimes good and sometimes bad. Thank Allah ﷻ, the coming days are for Islam even though they seem bad. Darkness and oppression have reached their limits since a hundred years. There hasn’t been as much shame, as much Kufr and as much rebellion in the world’s history. If it had happened to the nations of old times, Allah ﷻ would have destroyed them. However, as we are living in the end of times, the last name of Allah ﷻ is manifesting - As-Sabur, the Most Patient. Therefore, they are not destroyed yet. There has not been such Kufr and such impertinence since the world was created. But as we said in the beginning of the Sohbah, it is their days now. Allah ﷻ willing, good days, pure days and happy days will come later. May Allah ﷻ let us reach those days. May Allah ﷻ protect us all and give strength to our Iman insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
