Allah ﷻ Created Us for Worship

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 created everyone diversely. There are some people who are heavy, some are good and some are bad. With the wisdom of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He ﷻ created people differently. And He ﷻ created all of them in order to carry out the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. One is weak and one is strong. One is good and one is bad. But the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the same for everyone. His ﷻ order is: “I didn’t create you for eating and drinking, or for having fun in this world.” Allah ﷻ created people and Jinns for worship. This worship is obligatory for everyone.

Some people say, “I cannot do it”. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has certainly ordered things that people can do. He ﷻ didn’t order things they cannot do. BismiLlahi r-Rahmani rRahim: ‘ ’, ‘Lā yukallifu Llāhu nafsāan illā wus’ahā’, ‘Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.’ (Qur’ān 02:286). It means everyone has the strength and power to perform this worship and carry out the orders of the religion. They can do it easily. But there is shaytan, laziness and the ego. The ego doesn’t want to do it and doesn’t like it. They don’t want us to do it. Therefore, do not listen to them. Do not listen to your ego and shaytan.

Carry out the orders of Allah ﷻ, as these orders are your debt and duty. If you don’t fulfill your debt here, you will have to do it in Akhirah. People say, “I cannot do it” and so on. How can you be released from this order? When you are not sane. You are not liable then. Not liable are those who are not sane. Sometimes they say, “He’s lost his mind”. Insane, Majzoob and crazy people are not obliged. But sometimes you see they are even better than normal strong people. There are many such crazy and Majzoob people who perform their worship. And who are liable don’t do so.

This is certainly a debt. If people repent and make it up later as Qada’, they cannot get the same reward. Therefore, perform your worship on time without missing it and leaving it as Qada’. You cannot reach the same Thawab by compensating your prayer or fasting. May Allah ﷻ give us strength.

People must care the most and pay attention to their worship, not to other things. They rush to do other things and make plans, “I have to do this and that”. But when it comes to praying and fasting, they forget. They don’t give it much importance and leave it for Qada’/making up. Those who pray mustn’t leave their prayers for Qada’. Allah ﷻ knows how much they are losing. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of our egos. May Allah ﷻ make it a means for goodness.

Al-Fatiha.
