Salvation is by Loving Him ﷺ

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.

Shukr to Allah ﷻ, today is the last day of the month of Safar ul-Khayr. The month of Rabih ul-Awwal is starting next with the evening prayer, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. It is a holy month, the month when this world was honored with the arrival of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. With his ﷺ Barakah, this holy month will pass in comfort.

Rabih means spring. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ was born in spring. And spring has its comfort. It gives comfort to hearts. Who makes Salawat on our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam will get rid of hardships and be in comfort. With his ﷺ Barakah, with his ﷺ forgiveness and intercession, we will be saved. We will be saved both in Dunya and Akhirah.

Those who don’t respect him ﷺ and don’t love him ﷺ are unlucky people. They don’t have any luck. No matter how much they appreciate themselves, they have no value. When you are worthless in the sight of Allah ﷻ, even if the whole world appreciates you, when you close your eyes, you are nothing but a carcass. Therefore, they burn them down as they have no use.

But those who are with our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam find honor. They find goodness and reach happiness. Those who are together with him ﷺ, those who believe him ﷺ and love him ﷺ will be saved. Those who don’t love him ﷺ but are Muslim, those who follow people who look like modern Muslims but are actually hypocrites, their Akhirah is tough. Them being saved from hell will be hard. Certainly, they will go to hell, so their dirty attributes and sins are gone. Then, whatever happens will happen.

Those who respect our Holy Prophet ﷺ and accept his intercession will attain his ﷺ intercession insha’Allah. May this good month be blessed for all of us insha’Allah. May it be the means for increasing love between us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
