BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:

“Each person is facilitated for what he has been created.” [Hadith] Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla made everything facilitated to what it has been created. Allah ﷻ created mankind for worship, but they are not doing it now. The state of people of the present time is like they used to say before - they are cutting the branch they are sitting on. Allah ﷻ has given them big favors. They are not following them. They don’t care about them. They take their own way and think that they will be in gain. Whereas, they are cutting the branch they are sitting on; not from the side of the trunk, but from the other side. When they cut the branch, they will fall down and either smash their heads or pass away. They will not have a good ending. This is the state of the people of the end of times.

Subhan’Allah, people are going wilder and going further away from the Haqq/truth. They don’t accept the Haqq. They don’t appreciate any goodness. They are ungrateful for the things granted by Allah ﷻ. And then they say “I will be happy. I will be so and so”. As long as you don’t want Allah ﷻ and go against Allah ﷻ, even if you have the whole world, it will have no benefit, no importance and no value.

As this world has no value, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says in the Hadith Sharif of our Holy Prophet ﷺ that if it was as valuable as the wing of a mosquito, He ﷻ would not give even a drop of water to the Kafirs who go against Allah ﷻ. But He ﷻ is giving everything because it is worthless. And they think that they are earning something. They brag about being clever. Who doesn’t know Allah ﷻ is not clever but ignorant. He is stupid. He is useless. Everything he does has no value. As we said, people say that it is for goodness but they live for badness. Unless they turn to Allah ﷻ, it will be like this. It will bring no benefit but too much loss. All of it is loss. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

They think that not only they are clever but also the people around them, whereas they don’t have a mind at all. They are using all kinds of things in order to lose their minds. When we were young, they’d say someone drank alcohol and became drunk. We didn’t understand it, as in old times, it was not widespread to drink. There was one poor man who used to drink. When he drank, Hajjah Anne used to say that he lost his mind. I used to think with my childish mind, “When this man drinks this poison, he loses all his mind. Why does he do so?” I used to think that if he lost his mind, he couldn’t get it back. We didn’t think he would sober up back then.

This is the state of these people. They are doing all kinds of things to lose their minds. And then they claim that they are clever and give preachings. May Allah ﷻ protect us. Whoever commits a sin is not clever but has mind deficiency. May Allah ﷻ give mind and understanding to all of us. May He ﷻ give guidance to people. May He ﷻ give strength to our Iman insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
