Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 02:20). ‘Inna Llāha Aa’la Kulli Shay’in Qadīr’, ‘Certainly, Allah has power over all things.’ We have to know that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is powerful over everything. Nothing is difficult for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. For people it is difficult. And for some people, it is impossible. There is nothing impossible for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Hāshā (far from it). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the One who created everything, the One who let everything be from nothing. We have to know this.

The greatest misfortune of people in the present time is that they don’t have Iman, they don’t know Allah ﷻ and they deny Allah ﷻ. There is no greater trouble than this. They say that there are troubles in this world, there is this and that. These are not important because mankind will certainly have hardship in this world. One way or the other, there will certainly be troubles. But what is the greatest trouble? It is not to know Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and not to believe in Allah ﷻ.

There are Muslims, but they don’t have Iman. There is Islam, but there is no Iman in most people. If they have Iman, they will be in comfort and aware that everything is from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has seen it suitable for us. If we are patient with it, there will be rewards and Thawab of Allah ﷻ. There will be the pleasure of Allah ﷻ.

There is a Hadith Qudsi, “Whoever is not pleased with My fate should look for another god”. But there is no god but Allah ﷻ. This is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. There is no escape. There is no escape from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You look for fault in this and that. The fault is yours because you don’t have Iman. Strengthen your Iman every moment.

www.hakkani.org We are living in this world by the will of Allah ﷻ. Everything is a test. It is important to pass this test. Sufferings don’t go to waste if you have Iman. If you don’t have Iman, everything goes to waste, you will go to waste. And in the end, you will be disappointed.

To those who have Iman, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives multiple rewards and Thawab for all of these troubles and sufferings. People who believe in Allah ﷻ are in profit. Those without Iman are bossing around and making up things. They are denying Allah ﷻ, mocking Islam, mocking Qur’an, mocking Hadith. They can do so as much as they like. Does it bring any goodness to them? No, it doesn’t. Every time they do so, more of the punishment of Allah ﷻ descends on them. More darkness comes down to them. Therefore, what they are doing is wrong. They should stop the wrongdoing to be relieved. They should believe in Allah ﷻ so that they are in comfort and their sufferings don’t go to waste, so that their troubles don’t go to waste and they are rewarded in return. If they persist, it will be their fault. They will be the ones to blame and they will carry their punishment.

There is a trend now. Someone crazy appears and says something. All people think that he is someone important and try to imitate him. Don’t be like him. If you want to imitate someone, imitate good people., It means to imitate the good ones leads to salvation. May Allah ﷻ let us be with good ones. May we imitate good ones insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
