Shaytan Cheats Everyone

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.

The shaytan, they say [about him], “alayhi ma Yastahiqq”, “May he get what he deserves”, is living in order to cheat people. Allah ﷻ has given him time to cheat people until Qiyamah. You should not say, “I won’t be cheated.” You can be cheated, may Allah ﷻ protect us. If Allah ﷻ protects you, then you are fine.

Many people say, “I am educated. I am clever” and they try to do things as they like. They don’t like this religion. They don’t like Islam. And there are some people in Islam who say, “It is not like this, we should correct it. It has become too old”. Those on top, actually, are the cheating shaytans, because those who come afterwards agree with this idea. Their egos are like this, so they follow it. But the main one who cheats is shaytan. The shaytan cheats people in order to lead them to the worse, not to the better. He said, “It is old now. You cannot do what you want. I will make a better religion for you” and cheated many people.

Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam... Even ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam was cheated. In spite of the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, shaytan cheated ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. He cheated him by saying, “If you eat from this, it will be good for you. You will never die”. He made him eat that thing, whereas there is the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. As he could cheat him in spite of this, he can cheat other people easily.

We should not follow those who are cheated. Our way is clear. Everything our Holy Prophet ﷺ showed is clear. To go beyond it and do the opposite brings no goodness to people, but only harm. It brings badness. The end will not be good and people will perish.

It is possible that people may have wealth and money in this world. They think that they are living. That is not real life. That will pass like a dream and be over. The main thing is afterwards. People will perish then.

www.hakkani.org It is like a dream. You wake up in the morning and remember having many dreams at night. Dreams are beautiful but in the morning you are in the same place. There is nothing. If you get up well in the morning, it is good. But when you wake up and feel bad, this life is just like that.

Life is a dream, and the truth is Akhirah. Work for your Akhirah so that no one cheats you. They are saying, “Muslims are not good. Let’s make up something better” and are killing people, taking people out of the religion. The shaytan is doing all kinds of things. May Allah ﷻ protect us. We are living in the end of times. May Allah ﷻ give us strong Iman insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
