Rely, Accept and Rest

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.

The days we are living in are right in the middle of the end of times for this world. The whole world is in chaos and hardship. No one knows what to do. Muslims should rely on Allah ﷻ, accept that what Allah ﷻ says will happen and be at rest. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the Possessor of everything. Allah ﷻ is Malik al-Mulk. He ﷻ does what He ﷻ wants.

For people with Iman, it is easy. They say there is oppression against Muslims in this world. It is for everyone. But of course, there is more oppression for Muslims. Those who have Iman, their sufferings don’t go in vain. Those who object and rebel have hardship in their works, because they suffer in vain. Those who believe in Allah ﷻ and say that it comes from Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will reward them.

There are many people who talk nonsense and say, “We are this and that. Why is this happening?” To say so is contrary to Adab. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives you everything. And it is as if you say, “Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, why do You do so?” Therefore, you should be careful about that. You should seek refuge in Allah ﷻ when something happens. You should seek refuge in Allah ﷻ when there is difficulty so that He ﷻ makes it easy. – Allah ﷻ is the one who makes the difficult easy.

Sometimes people care too much about some things and think about what to do and how. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes everything and difficult things easy. People get amazed by how others can do something. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla lets them do it, because He ﷻ makes it easy for them.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how difficult the time we are living in is, think of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla immediately and always be with Allah ﷻ. He ﷻ will make it easy. Allah ﷻ is the one who makes every difficult easy. He ﷻ doesn’t make it difficult. And He ﷻ will give you your rewards. May Allah ﷻ help people. May Allah ﷻ give Iman so that everything is easy.

There are many people who make up Fitnah by saying, “Muslims are suffering so much. Why is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla not helping them?” We live in Dunya. As we live in a place of tests, there must be a test. It cannot be without tests. We haven’t reached paradise yet. It is the state of Dunya. It is a place of tests. Who passes the test will be raised. Who fails the test will be in suffering, and his deeds will be in vain. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ help us and be with us insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ give us the strength of Iman.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
