The World is Approaching Its End

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.

Shukr to Allah ﷻ who gave us these favors. Another year has passed from our lives. Insha’Allah may we have spent it the way Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla wants, with His ﷻ favors and obedience to Him ﷻ as much as we can. We hope so. This is our intention. Our deeds are nothing. He ﷻ will give us according to our intentions insha’Allah.

Today is the last day of the year. And it will be the beginning of the new year which enters together with the Maghrib prayer. May this year be good insha’Allah. May it be the means for goodness insha’Allah, because time is running out for this world. The time when people will be gone is clear, but the last days have approached for this world. All the signs are showing that everything is complete. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla knows how much time is left for us. No one knows the unseen except Allah ﷻ. But He ﷻ gives signs that show that something will happen for Qiyamah to come. There are signs for it. We are approaching it more every year, every day. BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:, “Kullu ‘atin qareeb”, “Everything coming is near”, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ in Hadith. What is coming is near. What is not coming is far. What is coming will come for sure.

The program of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla - not to compare it with that of people - but there is a time for everything. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla appointed a time for everything in this world. And everything should be over after some point. Eternity is in Akhirah. There is nothing eternal in this world. Some stupid people say that it is eternal. There is nothing like that in this world. There is eternity only after death. The real life starts there.

Years are passing. And people should show respect to these years. When the New Year comes, Muslims get confused and don’t know what to do; “We should buy this. We should buy that”. It is from Allah ﷻ, when you look from one side, they haven’t turned it into trade. If they turned it into trade in order to make money - as it is the real New Year from Allah ﷻ, they don’t care much about it. When it is sacred, they don’t approach it.

Therefore, we should celebrate it by ourselves. May we leave the old year with Dua and enter the new year with Dua. May Allah ﷻ bless it for all of us insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ give us good years. Insha’Allah may He ﷻ send the Sahib to save the Ummah, because oppression has reached its peak. It is so. The oppression in this world doesn’t seem to be over, and only Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam can save us. May Allah ﷻ send him as soon as possible.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Surahs, Tasbihat and Salawat from all over the world by our brothers. May Allah ﷻ accept them. We dedicate them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, to the souls of all of our late relatives, especially our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne and Hala Sultan. May all their good goals be reached. May they be happy here and hereafter. May there be strength for our Iman. May we be under protection. For goodness to come and the evil to be gone.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
