What’s Important in This Time is Repentance

In some evil there is goodness, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Some things you assume to be evil can be good. The time we are living in is full of distress, illnesses and this and that. There is goodness in everything insha’Allah.

Many people have changed their customs because of this thing. They forgot about their customs and have developed different conditions. People have certainly changed. There are many changes. One of them is that today is the holy day of Jum’ah, but tonight the commercial year is ending. Let’s call it commercial, not Gregorian. We see it as commercial now, because they’ve turned it into business. It is coming to an end. They made their calculations and in order to make markets, they gave great importance to it. By counting the last minutes and the last hours of the year, they did all kinds of shame and committed sins.

Since two years, Allah ﷻ made such a thing that people only care about themselves. People don’t have the strength to care about these things anymore. They are lightheaded and sick. “Get vaccinated. Isolate yourself. Stay home. Don’t talk to anyone. Don’t meet anyone”. There is such a condition that they don’t know how long it will last. It will last as long as Allah ﷻ wants. This is not important. What’s important is to repent.

In the beginning, it was like always. Even in old times and during the time of Pharaoh, when Musa ‘alayhi s-salam came to Pharaoh and told him to repent and that a disaster would come to him. When the disaster occurred, he repented and said, “Pray to your Lord so that He lifts this disaster. We will believe and become Muslim”. Musa ‘alayhi s-salam would pray, it would end, but they would go wild again. Another disaster would come to them. And again, they would say, “If you pray to your Lord to lift this disaster off us, we will believe”. That disaster would be lifted and they would go wild once again.

www.hakkani.org The condition of this time is the same. When it started, people got lost and didn’t know what to do. They repented. But then the vaccination appeared. And they thought that they would be saved with the vaccination. A single vaccination turned out not to be enough. But they didn’t come to repentance. And with more and more vaccinations, it will go on like this. May Allah ﷻ protect us. We have to take a lesson. We have to realize that it didn’t come to mankind without a reason. It came so that people repent and come to the right way.

Today is a holy day. But tonight; may Allah ﷻ protect us, may people not be involved in sins. May they leave sins. A year is over. Even though it is commercial, a year is a year. We have to evaluate it, whether we are in profit or loss. We should repent for our sins. Insha’Allah may these new coming days be good for us, because it is not a clever thing for people to calculate by years. As elderly people say, we have three days to live; yesterday is gone, today is here and we are alive, but Allah ﷻ knows about tomorrow, whether we are alive or not. Therefore, to say that the new year will be good; it is unclear if you will reach the new year, or if the new year will be over for you.

May Allah ﷻ let us live with Iman. May our Iman be strengthened. It is the most important thing. New year or old year is not important. May Allah ﷻ treat us with His favors every day insha’Allah. May we all have good days and days with Iman insha’Allah. May the Ummah have guidance. May He ﷻ give mind and understanding to mankind.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Salawat, Yasins, Ayat and Surahs. Our brothers from all the world recited them. We dedicate them firstly to the soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ.
