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

“Wa man yuqa shuh-ha nafsihi faula’ika humu l-muflihun.” (Qur’ān 59:09). Allah ﷻ says in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan: ‘And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.’ Those who are protected from the evil of their ego, are in profit. “Shuh” means the worst level of stinginess because the ego wants it. It comes from faithlessness. “Shuh” means stinginess and meanness, and they are bad things. The ego does not want to give Sadaqah, or help, or obey Allah ﷻ. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says in Hadith Sharif to beware of stinginess. It commands to be stingy. It commands to be stingy and it is the sickness that has destroyed the nations before you. It had ordered them to be stingy, so they became stingy. It had ordered them not to help, so they did not help. It had ordered not to visit relatives. All bad things come from too much stinginess. Every bad thing comes from this thing called “Shuh”.

It is the same in this world. People fight because of it, quarrel because of it, kill each other because of it and do not do goodness. It is one of the biggest tools of shaytan and the favorite thing of the ego. Mankind, Muslims and non-Muslims, should leave it. But of course, non-Muslims say, “This is mine. I won’t give it. I won’t help anyone”. Even though they seem to help, there is this group of non-Muslims who mess with the whole world. They think that they are helping and by wishing to help people or a country, they destroy the whole country. They are destroying it directly or, even worse, discreetly by seeming to help and making judgments. Whereas they are drowning in their dirt and lying in a hollow. And then they are teaching others, pointing at their dirt. They think that they are helping and doing something good. When they do something good, a thousand bad things come out of it, may Allah ﷻ protect us.

We should not be cheated by them. We should not believe them. The one who believes them is stupid. A person should think about what is behind it when someone from them helps him. Did he repent? Even if he did repent, one should still be cautious if something will come out of it. These people do not want any goodness to Muslims. Islam is their biggest enemy. They are the accomplices of shaytan. And shaytan will never befriend Islam and Muslims. May Allah ﷻ protect us from their evil.

The end of times has come. Their traps will return to them. As our Holy Prophet ﷺ said in his Hadith Sharif, too much greed and too much stinginess make people do all kinds of evil. Mankind makes these mistakes because of his greed. Muslims should not make them. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ tells to be careful and to leave this bad attribute. It has no benefit but only harm. May Allah ﷻ protect us. It destroys you. It destroys you here and hereafter, which is worse. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of our ego and bad attributes.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
