Everything in Dunya Has a Limit

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 07:128). ‘Inna l-‘Arda li-Llāhi Yūrithuhā Man Yashā’u Min ‘Ibādihi’, ‘Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants.’

Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says in the Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan that this earth is for Him ﷻ. Our planet is for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, other planets are also for Him ﷻ. The sun, moon, stars, galaxy, universe; all are for Him ﷻ. He ﷻ is the Creator and He ﷻ creates without an end, endlessly.

Everything has a limit, an age, an ‘Ajal/appointed term. And when this ‘Ajal comes, it will be finished. They said that butterflies live for one day, and there are the human beings who live for maybe 80, 90, 100 years. Each creature has a [limited] life, which Allah ﷻ knows how much it is. This is also for planets, for the sun, for the moon, for everything in this universe. They have a limit of life which must end when Allah ﷻ wants.

What human beings are thinking and saying is that after a billion years our sun will explode, and other things will be like this and like that. What Allah ﷻ gives from knowledge to people is a little bit. And they think that they know too much and they are telling that to people. They don’t know that the Day of Qiyamah, Resurrection will happen at once. They think that it is in so long. And even if they think that it will happen after one million years or two million years, they are afraid of it.

But our next life will be forever. Everything will be forever. This world, before death and before Qiyamah, is different, and after it is different. Many professors and scholars of knowledge are reaching to some limit. After that, those who have good knowledge say, “We know up to this limit. After this limit there must be many things that must normally be like this according to our calculation and our knowledge for Dunya.” But even in the material world, they said “We don’t know how the system is in the other galaxies.” So they don’t even know the system for this Dunya. And for Akhirah, they will never know.

For this, we are living in this planet which is not valuable for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. It is the lowest thing, it is not precious. It is the lowest and isn’t worth anything. Our Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, this Dunya is like a carcass and those who look after the carcass are dogs. People think that it is something that they will have forever. No, it is not forever. Nothing is forever in this material world.

For this, when Allah ﷻ created us – and we are coming from here, or from this country to another country, and from another country to another; this is what Allah ﷻ wants for people. If they have Rizq/provision, they will be there. So it is not important for people to look after it. The most important thing is to be with Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, this is what gives sense for things. Without this, there is no sense for our life, for traveling, for going here and there to find a better life. You cannot find it without being with Allah ﷻ.

For this, the most important thing is to keep yourself and your family safe; safe from this badness of Kufr/unbelief. They are trying everything, shaytan is trying everything to finish you, to melt you and to make himself happy. When the Mu’min/believer forgets Allah ﷻ and runs after Dunya, he loses everything and the shaytan will be happy.

This is a very important thing: for everyone to look after his family, wife and children. Because all the world has now become bad, but in some places it is more difficult to keep this. They try their best to make people lose their religion. And when people lose their religion, they lose everything. After this, we become just like – we don’t say like animal – but like grass, like anything else that’s not human being when we lose this good manner and good thing. Also the trees, they’re cutting them and using them for something. And animals also, they’re using them and when they’re finished, their mission will be finished. But our mission is not like them. It must be different, it must be better.

Normally it is not so difficult, but people are looking for the easy way. And the easy way is never good for people. Without studying, you cannot go to the next class, the second class, the third class. If you’re not studying, not tiring yourself and not controlling your ego, you will never go from the first class to the second class. And it is as such for life and also the same for religion. This applies for everything. If you sleep, you cannot succeed in anything. You must tire yourself, you must look for knowledge, for work, for anything. If you are lazy and you’re not going and looking, nothing will happen. Maybe the government here gives you money, but I don’t think that they will be giving you your whole life. But when you’re working, you can save yourself. And this also applies for religion, don’t say, “It is difficult.” If you say this you will be a loser and you won’t find anything in the next life.

AlhamduliLlah we saw many of our Murids that have small and big children. So they can slowly slowly teach them about Islam. First teach them to say, “Allah, Allah, Allah” and “Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim” and “La Ilaha illa Llah”. Slowly slowly, no need to make them afraid and to make them run away. Insha’Allah with this, Barakah comes to you and Allah ﷻ keeps them on the right way insha’Allah.

This is very important because now it is too difficult in Europe to do anything for your own children. They say that they must be free. This is freedom. When you make it with love, they can be happy with that and Allah ﷻ puts in their heart the love of Allah ﷻ, the love of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and ‘Awliya insha’Allah.

AlhamduliLlah, insha’Allah our gathering here is for the sake of Allah ﷻ and alhamduliLlah many people brought their family and their children. Insha’Allah they [came] only for the sake of Allah ﷻ and are asking for knowledge. May Allah ﷻ give them for their intention. This is a more precious thing for us. You come not for Dunya, but for Allah ﷻ. You come for the precious thing. Insha’Allah may Allah ﷻ not make you go back empty but full of blessings and safe from every badness. May Allah ﷻ make you go back with this insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
