Fear Allah ﷻ Not This Disease

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 09:51). Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, ‘Qul lan yuṣībanā illa mā kataba Llāhu lana’, ‘Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us.’ What will happen to us is what Allah ﷻ has written. If Allah ﷻ wanted it and wrote it, He will find a reason and means for that thing to happen to you.

The current state of the world is that with the latest disease. In the beginning, people sought refuge in Allah ﷻ; they called Adhans and made Salawat. But they forgot it afterwards in pursuit of a cure and vaccination. They invented the vaccination and forgot to turn to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are afraid of the disease. And people are always frightened with a disease. Wherever you look, everywhere they say, “This happened, that happened. There is an old variant, there is a new variant”. They say so and frighten people with this invisible creature of Allah ﷻ, and people are scared not knowing what to do.

That is not the main thing they should be afraid of. There are millions of other things like this. Everything happens by the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And this has occurred by the order of Allah ﷻ however it happened. It has occurred in the body, killing and making people sick. It is a very strange thing. And they are frightening people every day with it. They say fear won’t save from death. Living in fear weakens the body’s immunity even more. This disease exists, indeed, we understand that. But to frighten people with the wrong thing is not a clever work. It is the work of shaytan. You shouldn’t be scared of it. You should fear the One who created it. You should fear Allah ﷻ so that Allah ﷻ protects you. When you’re scared of it, it comes from one place; and even if you wear a thousand masks, it will reach you. If this is what Allah ﷻ wants for you, nothing will protect you.

Therefore, turn to Allah ﷻ as in the beginning. In Europe, in places where there was no Adhan, Adhans were called. But now, not anymore. They are back to their old condition, even worse. They don’t even think that there is its Possessor, that they should fear Him. There are millions of similar kinds everywhere inside us. When the permission and time comes, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will... When just one is active, things like this are happening. So think about what happens when the rest are active too.

So repent and ask forgiveness from Allah ﷻ every day, because sins have increased. It is getting worse day by day. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla protects. You shouldn’t be afraid but beg Allah ﷻ to protect you. Of course, you must take precautions. It is better not to come too close to sick ones. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ said not to go to a place where there is sickness. And when there is a disease in the country, don’t go out of it. But now, this disease is [spread] in the whole world. Therefore, there is no solution but to turn to Allah ﷻ. We should make Dua that Allah ﷻ lifts this disaster, this disease from us.

May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give strength to our iman so that our spirituality is strong. Then, the impact of this disease won’t be great with the permission of Allah ﷻ. Every day, recite 7 times Ayat ul-Kursi, give Sadaqah and trust in Allah ﷻ. Do not live in fear. Fear should be only of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Be afraid of Allah ﷻ, not of anything else. People of the present time are afraid of everything, but they are not afraid of Allah ﷻ. They go against Allah ﷻ and rebel against Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
