Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 09:119). ‘Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-Llaha Wa Kūnū Ma’a sSādiqīn’, ‘O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful’, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is an important Ayah. Who is the truthful person? It is not the one who mixes up the words of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the words of our Holy Prophet ﷺ and tells people according to his own mind. The Sadiq/truthful is the one who speaks straightforward. Siddiq means the one who speaks the truth, the righteous one. This is important.

The time we are living in now is such that everyone does everything as he likes and interprets them to others the way that benefits themselves. They interpret the Qur’an according to their own minds. If you speak about Hadith, they reject the Sahih strong Hadiths which are true Hadiths. They deny the religion and Sunnah of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They deny the way shown by our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They make up things according to their own minds.

Ignorant people believe them. Whereas people interpret this way which has been there since the time of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until now, for more than 1,400 years, as if it has appeared later and according to their minds. Many people accept them, whatever the wisdom is. Because they obey their egos. It is easy for their egos. So they accept this. They are showing things that are not in religion as if they are in religion. And they don’t accept the things that are in religion.

Therefore, we must find truthful people and be with them so that our deeds do not go in vain, so that our work is accepted. Otherwise, the others are not accepted. Moreover, you will have committed a sin. While you console yourself by saying that you’re worshipping and following the religion, you will have done things in vain. And you will have committed a sin. Therefore, follow the truthful people. Accept them. Do not accept the others. Stay away from them so that your end is good and your deeds don’t go in vain.

May Allah ﷻ let us all be with the truthful ones insha’Allah. May we be with them and may we advance on the right way, on the way of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Those who advance on his ﷺ way will find him ﷺ insha’Allah, and will unite with him ﷺ. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Who don’t follow me ﷺ cannot be with me ﷺ”. It is an important thing to meet our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and to be with him ﷺ. It is the greatest of happiness. May Allah ﷻ let us have that.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
