The Importance of Jama’ah

AlhamduliLlah, we travelled for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ and met with our brothers, and came back. As people are on the way of Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ protects them. Insha’Allah may they become a means of guidance for others. This is our goal. The goal must be for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. When it is so, everything has benefit.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, “May Allah ﷻ protect us from useless knowledge”. Useless knowledge is not knowledge but harm. Because when it has no benefit to yourself, it can’t bring benefit to others. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam mentions this in many Hadiths. Those who have knowledge but do the opposite get more punishment; double or five folds the punishment. It is because they are aware of what they are doing. But those who don’t know don’t get that much punishment until they know. Those who know and tell people to do this and that but don’t do it themselves, that is useless knowledge.

May Allah ﷻ be pleased. Insha’Allah our deeds and the deeds of our brothers over there will bring benefit to them and to others. There is Fitnah all over the world, but it is more over there. And it is more difficult for them. May Allah ﷻ protect them. Insha’Allah they will gather, support each other and make Jama’ah., “Allah’s ﷻ Hand of Power is upon the the community.” [Hadith]. Allah ﷻ is with those who come together. They will save both themselves and others insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with them. May Allah ﷻ protect all of us and them insha’Allah from the evil of shaytan and the evil of Dunya, especially today.

Tomorrow is last Wednesday of Safar ul-Khayr insha’Allah. It is a bit heavy, but to those who give Sadaqah and make Dua to Allah ﷻ, everything is easy. Nothing is difficult. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes the difficult easy. No matter how difficult it is, with His ﷻ Power it will be easy. Otherwise, the difficult cannot be easy.

May Allah ﷻ protect all of us from the evil of Dunya and Fitnah. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the visible and invisible accidents. May He ﷻ give strength to our Iman.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
