Eternal Life Without Troubles

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.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave many things in order to be a test for people while living in this world. The first thing is the good and bad characteristics inside them. When people control them and turn them into good ones, their Maqam rises. If they don’t change them, then they fail the test. They will be disturbed with this, and it will be a burden for them in Akhirah.

In the life of this world, there is jealousy, envy, doubtfulness and all kinds of bad characteristics. There is the Waswasa of shaytan. As we said, there are many disturbing things in this world. This is the world of tests. In the world of tests, only when you close your eyes forever that your tests are over. And you will wait for the results on the other side. When you pass the test on the other side and enter paradise insha’Allah, you will reach Ḥawḍ al-Kawthar/the Pond of Abundance, the pond of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. And when you drink from it, all your bad characteristics will be gone. They will only end there, and you will go to paradise cleanly. No distress, no sadness, no jealousy and envy, no doubtfulness. All the bad characteristics will be left outside. People enter paradise cleanly. They are not disturbed and not harmed by anyone.

Shukr to Allah ﷻ, as much as the troubles you have in this world, that much rewards you get in paradise. If you don’t go against Allah ﷻ and accept Him, you will get more rewards. Nothing will be wasted. And then there is eternal life without troubles. Now while people are in this world, despite all these troubles and so much death, people live as if they will never die.

The beauty and pleasure of paradise will last forever. There is no life in distress there. There is not a little trouble in paradise. People and believers live with praise there. It is said in the Qur’an Azimu sh-Shan, ‘ ’, ‘Al-Ĥamdu Lillāhi AlLadhi ‘Adh/haba `Annā Al-Ĥazan’, ‘Praise to Allah, who has removed from us [all] sorrow.’ (Qur’ān 35:34). “Praise to Allah ﷻ, sorrow is removed from us.” There is no death of parents, no death of relatives and no death of friends. There is no death at all. When they go to paradise, they wait for judgment for 100,000 years or million years. And at last, a big ram is brought to As-Sirat Bridge. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will order to slaughter it. What is this ram? That ram is death. Death will be gone then. Those of paradise will go to paradise, and those of hell will go to hell. There is no death anymore. Therefore, there will be no fear of death. They will live forever in happiness. This is what Muslims know, as it lightens the burden of this world. They praise Allah ﷻ for the problems and make Shukr for the good things. May Allah ﷻ increase our Shukr. May He not test us in this world insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
