Always be with Allah ﷻ

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

(Qur’ān 51:50). Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, ‘Fafirrū ilāLlāh’, ‘So flee to Allah.’ When something happens, when a trouble occurs, what will you do? Where will you run? Run to Allah ﷻ, seek refuge in Allah ﷻ. The condition of the world is in such a state now that everyone is in trouble. And as if troubles are not enough, shaytan and his followers have started a war against all humanity, against the good and bad out of envy. He says, “There are too many people now. Let’s clear and remove most of them”. That is why they started a war against everyone, Muslims and non-Muslims.

People are in troubles because they alienated from Allah ﷻ. They are in different kinds of stress and depression. In addition to this, instead of doing good deeds, they are doing everything bad. Don’t expect goodness from shaytan, only expect badness. And there are human shaytans who are worse than shaytan. They are even worse. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, ‘ ’, ‘Bal hum aḍal’, ‘Rather, they are more astray.’ (Qur’ān 07:179). They are more astray, more merciless. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla opened His ﷻ door of mercy, door of kindness, door of all kinds of help for them.

Whoever turns to Allah ﷻ will win. Otherwise, he will be at loss. We have to be with Allah ﷻ against them. If you are not with Allah ﷻ, you don’t have any chance or hope to go against them and win. ‘ ’, ‘Wa mā n-naṣru illa min ‘indiLlāh’, ‘And victory is only from Allah.’ (Qur’ān 03:126). Victory is always from Allah ﷻ. You can attain victory over them only by seeking refuge in Allah ﷻ and by asking for His ﷻ help. Who seeks refuge in Allah ﷻ is never bad. Who doesn’t seek refuge in Allah ﷻ is at loss and disappointment no matter how good he seems.

Therefore, people are losing their hope. Losing hope doesn’t suit Muslims. No matter how big the enemy in front of you is, he doesn’t have even little value near Allah ﷻ. When Allah ﷻ wants, everything happens. Even a single man can have victory over them with the permission of Allah ﷻ. Therefore, don’t lose hope because of an illness, or this and that. Always turn to Allah ﷻ and be with Allah ﷻ. Help will come and your troubles will be gone. You will be at peace.

To be with Allah ﷻ means firstly to carry out His ﷻ orders. And the main order is to pray. As it is difficult to make all at once, who doesn’t pray should start slowly with two Rakaʿāt, four Rakaʿāt and so on up to the five prayer times every day. Then, it is ok with the permission of Allah ﷻ. Prayer is the biggest weapon. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim used to say that the Du’a is not accepted without it. When people asked him for Du’a, he would say that even the Du’a of the biggest Awliya’ doesn’t affect the one who doesn’t pray. One should pray at least two Rakaʿāt daily. He shouldn’t ignore prayer. He shouldn’t forget to pray. May Allah ﷻ give us all the taste of worship. A person who’s got the taste of worship doesn’t taste the pleasure of anything when he doesn’t pray. May Allah ﷻ help us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
