Be with What is Real

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

‘Allahu la ilaha illa Hu ya‘hdikum ila s-sirati l-mustaqimi’, ‘Allah - there is no God except Him, He guides you to the Straight Way.’ Who is together with Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla knows what he is doing. His ﷻ orders are clear. They were told to people by our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Accepting the unity of Allah ﷻ: “Ash-hadu ‘an lā iLāha illa Llāh wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan ‘abduhu wa rasūluh”, then praying and fasting, Zakah and Hajj; these are the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. What is the end of those who do them? Paradise. The end of those who don’t do these and don’t believe is hell.

The order of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is very clear. But shaytan puts Waswasa in people’s hearts. He puts doubt together with Waswasa. He uses that doubt, and just like Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla told us through Qur’an ul-Karim and the Hadiths of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, he does things against them that puts people in doubt. And the biggest thing is that they put forth philosophy. Philosophers feel doubtful about everything.

The real existence is of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. The rest is false which means it doesn’t exist. There is only the existence of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. The rest is temporary. We cannot live forever in this life. They say that someone is at eternal rest. You may probably stay forever with your illusions. Nothing is eternal. Everything has an end in this world, in this universe. Therefore, be with what is real. Don’t be with what is not real.

What is unreal is imaginary, illusion, doubtful and full of Waswasa. What is real is Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Who are with Him ﷻ will be eternally there. Who are not with Him ﷻ will be there too, but they will be in a bad place. Therefore, be with Allah ﷻ. Who seeks refuge in Allah ﷻ and stays with Allah ﷻ will never lose and won’t suffer.

The biggest suffering is the spiritual suffering. Many people have it. In order to get rid of it, they try every way. The more they try, the worse they get. The way is clear. No need to fall off the cliff by leaving this way. Seek refuge in Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ help us all. May Allah ﷻ give strength to our Iman. As it is the end of the world, many people do deviant things. Many people leave the way. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
