Don’t Fall Into Fitnah

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.

We are living in the end of times. This time is the time of Fitnah. We should not fall into Fitnah. We should stay away from Fitnah in order to be safe. Allah’s ﷻ curse is upon whoever falls into Fitnah or makes Fitnah himself. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, , “Fitnah is asleep. May the curse of Allah be upon whoever wakes it up”.

People would get confused when they wanted to make Fitnah before. They had to struggle for it. Nowadays, there are these machines where you can say and write anything you want, and then big Fitnah occurs. There is Fitnah between Muslims. “You are not good. You are a hypocrite. You are an unbeliever”; such things appear there. Thank Allah ﷻ, we don’t look at it. The biggest Fitnah occurs there. They are perishing people for nothing. They are defaming Islam for nothing. They are doing all kinds of things. Those who do this are the real hypocrites, apostates and unbelievers. Therefore, you should not listen to them or look at what they are doing so that Fitnah does not touch you. This Fitnah brings disease to your heart. It brings spiritual disease which by growing takes your Iman away. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

This is what should be happening at this time. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says that the end of times is the time of Fitnah. Therefore, be with good people. Other people who make Fitnah are becoming more obvious. Even though most of them are not Muslim, they come in a Muslim’s appearance. They have beards or wear something like a woman’s scarf on their heads. They pretend to know the religion, whereas they are not even Muslim. They attack Muslims accusing them of hypocrisy and Kufr. Whereas they are hypocrites and Kafirs themselves. These people are not just one or two, but there are many of that kind that cheat people everywhere.

Therefore, we should be careful. Do not listen to people you don’t know, do not ask them questions and do not even look at them. May Allah ﷻ protect us all. We are passing through difficult days. May Allah ﷻ give strength to our Iman. May we stay away from bad people. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
