Why are Muslims Not Together?

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 says to be with good people. Be with the truthful, good ones and believers. Those who are with them will be in happiness. Those who are with people on the way of Allah ﷻ become the means for goodness and beauty. As Allah ‘Azza waJalla wishes goodness to people, He ﷻ advises sticking together. Stick together, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Do not go to others.

The shaytan orders the opposite. He makes good people enemies to each other and pushes them apart. Most of the time they ask, “Why are people who don’t believe in Allah ﷻ and don’t love Allah ﷻ together? And why are Muslims and Mu’mins not together?” People often question why. It is because that’s easy. As shaytan is together with the bad ones, he doesn’t make Waswasa to them. Contrarily, he says, “You are right. You are good” and supports them.

Wherever there is evil all over the world, support comes to them from shaytan. The shaytans support each other from different corners of the world. But when people want to do goodness, thousands of shaytans ride on them and break them up. They strive to remove the goodness. And when it is gone, he rests and says, “They are my people now” and stops making Waswasa. He doesn’t cause arguments between them. Do they have peace? Of course they don’t have peace. Muslims have the peace. Even though there is something between them, there is no Waswasa.

When two good persons come together, certainly it is very probable that there will be Fitnah. Therefore, Muslims are divided. But that is not important. What’s important is not to be together with shaytan but to be with Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Nevertheless, our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, a Muslim is a brother of another Muslim. Even if the ego and shaytan doesn’t want it, we should not listen to them. We should support Muslims and be together with Muslims.

People of the present time listen to neither Muslims, nor brothers, nor anyone for the worldly benefit. They lose everything after the tiniest benefit. May Allah ﷻ protect us. We should be careful about that. The state of this world has no benefit for Akhirah. We should work for Akhirah. The stock for Akhirah is [by following] the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Walk on that way, and stay away from shaytan. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Yasin, Ayat and Surahs, Tasbihat, Tahlils and Takbirs, Salawat Sharifah. Insha’Allah we dedicate them and all the good deeds and charity made this week firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, the souls of all of our late relatives, especially to our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne, Hala Sultan, the souls of all of our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone, for the strength of our Iman.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
