Be Patient for Hardship is from Allah ﷻ

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. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has given all kinds of states to mankind. There is a good state, a bad state, beautiful and not beautiful states. If you are patient with them, you get your reward. If you’re not patient, you are deprived from the reward and cannot get any profit. In order to have profit, it is important to be patient.

Unfortunately, people of the present time have no patience. Some people are patient. But most importantly, the worst side of impatience is that people harm themselves. People harm themselves because of impatience. And the biggest harm is that people take certain things in order to forget. They used to drink alcohol in old times. They said that they forgot and had fun. You didn’t come to this world for having fun. Allah ﷻ didn’t create and send you here to have fun.

Allah ﷻ gave people as much strength as they need, and they can be patient as much. Some people more and some less. And Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gave everyone a burden accordingly. When you do something like this in order to get rid of it, you commit a sin and you are deprived of the reward. You harm yourself both spiritually and physically.

It has become worse now. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says that everything that makes people drunk is sinful. Even little is sinful. If you don’t do too much but little, that is sinful too. Why? It is because you start from little, and it leads to more. Eventually, mankind destroys themselves. Therefore, it is not good to show tolerance to such things. Do not ever let your ego have these pills and weed.

You must be patient. It will give you strength, and your rank will increase in the presence of Allah ﷻ. You will be an accepted person. Otherwise, it is harmful from all aspects for yourself, for you family and for the community. May Allah ﷻ help people. There are many people who harm themselves in a way. You look at them and get upset. But what can you do? We wish that Allah ﷻ helps them. May Allah ﷻ guide them and protect them.

It is as such all over the world. And whatever the wisdom is, it is getting more widespread among youngsters. It is because there is no old upbringing. There is no more upbringing by people of old times. All of them are from a single center base. And it is imposed in the same way all over the world. They pound it into the heads. And there isn’t almost anywhere that they have overcome this addiction.

May Allah ﷻ send the savior of Islam insha’Allah. We have reached the time of ‘Asfalu s-Safileen, the lowest of the low. Humanity has hit the bottom. May Allah ﷻ save us all. May Allah ﷻ protect humanity. And may Allah ﷻ help and rescue people who suffer from addiction. People are following their egos everywhere. May Allah ﷻ help them. May Allah ﷻ protect us and give strength to our Iman. Who have strong Iman don’t fall into such things. They say that hardships are from Allah ﷻ, so be patient and get rewarded. May Allah ﷻ help us all.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Yasin, Surahs, Ayat and Salawat from all over the world. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with all of you. May Allah ﷻ accept it. We gift them firstly to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his ﷺ Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all ‘Anbiya, ‘Awliya, ‘Asfiya and Mashayikh, to the souls of our late relatives, especially to our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne, Hala Sultan, to the souls of all Muslims. May the good goals of those who have recited be reached. May they be happy here and hereafter. May they have strength of Iman. May they be protected from badness. May they be protected from the evil and Fitnahs of this world. May it be the means for goodness. May Allah ﷻ accept it.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
