… Even if in Dunya, 1 year, 3 years or maybe 5 years you cannot see each other, but in Jannah you will be forever together; who you love, you will see all the time insha’Allah.

This is our Nasiha/advice., “Ad-Dīnu n-Naṣīḥah”, “Religion is advice”, Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says. Religion is to give advice. “For whom?” asked the Sahabah. For [sake of] Allah ﷻ, for Prophet ﷺ, for Mu’mineen/for believers.

For this, we are saying: Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm: ‘ ’, ‘Aṭiū’ Llāha wa aṭiū’ r-Rasūla wa Ūli l-‘Amri

minkum’, ‘Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.’ (Qur’ān 04:59). Allah ﷻ orders in this Ayah for the believer, for Mu’min to obey first: Allah Azza wa Jalla; second: The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam; and then Uli l-Amr meaning those who are ruling you. You must obey them. When you do this, you are a good and beloved one for Allah ﷻ because you are doing what Allah ﷻ wants.

You must obey and do what Allah ﷻ orders you. The first order for human beings is to make Shahadah. The second is Salat, praying. The third is Siyam, fasting. Then Zakat and Hajj. These are the orders of Allah ﷻ. If they [government] allow you to do these, there’s no meaning for you to fight the government and to go against them. There’s no need for this. Because Allah ﷻ said that only if they are not giving you permission to pray, to fast and to do this, that time it would be not obligatory to obey them.

And they are not interfering with you. AlhamduliLlah your country [Indonesia] is free for Islam. Everyone is masha’Allah a very good Mu’min, believer. There’s no problem for people to be not happy. This is very important because many of these shaytan people come as if they are giving advice, but in reality they are shaytan people. They are saying, “They are not practicing. They are not doing this. They are not saying this.” This is not your business to interfere with what you are not obligated to do. If they are not interfering with your religion, you cannot say, “This is good. This is not good” or to fight. This is not allowed. These people are telling people to fight them.

This happens because some believers are ignorant, they don’t know wisdom. To learn wisdom, you must follow a Murshid, you must follow a Sheikh; a real Sheikh, not a shaytan teacher. If you follow [Sheikh], you will know what is good and what is not good.

Many people destroyed their places, destroyed their lives when they followed these people. This life is not important. For Akhirah also, it is very important, because they are doing what Allah ﷻ doesn’t want them to do and they will be punished in Akhirah. They thought that they are making Jihad and they are giving their lives for this thing. They thought that it is for Islam, but in reality it’s not for Islam. These people are the biggest enemy for Islam.

Be awake! Because everywhere, they are like cancer. They are coming from everywhere. Shaytan is coming from the ear, from the nose, from the mouth, and going inside. These people are also the same. They are really like shaytan. They are liars, they are cheaters, they are crooks. They are showing the white as black and the black as white, the good as bad and the bad as good.

You must be careful insha’Allah because they are going everywhere. Beware! Don’t believe what everybody says. You must look what your Murshid, what your Sheikh, what your teacher says about this matter. After that, you can do. You must make Shura/consultation, you must ask.

They are a disaster for Muslims. This is what Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying. ‘ ’, ‘Al-‘A’raābu ‘Ashaddu Kufrāan Wa Nifāqāan’, ‘The bedouins are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy.’ (Qur’ān 09:97). This means that Aa’raab are the most liar, the most hypocrite people. These people are hypocrites. He ﷻ said, ‘ ’, ‘Inna Al-Munāfiqīna Fī d-Darki l-‘Asfali Mina n-Nār, ‘Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire.’ (Qur’ān 04:145). The hypocrites are in the lowest, the worst place in Jahannam, Allah ﷻ is saying. Because the attribute of the Munafik, hypocrite; Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “: ”, “The signs of a hypocrite are three: Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie; and

whenever he promises, he breaks his promise; and whenever he is entrusted, he betrays (proves to be dishonest).” Which means that if the hypocrite says something, he is lying. It is a lie; he doesn’t speak the truth. If you believe him, he will betray you. And if he gives you a word, he won’t do this word. This is worse than the nonbelievers who attack you; you can be away from them. But others, this Munafik is showing that you are…

These people put the [most] worst thing in Muslim people: Waswas (insinuating thoughts). They make people say, “Maybe these people are right. What can I do? I must follow them to be safe.” But in reality, you will be not safe at all. They are like the Dajjal, the Antichrist. When he comes in the end of times, they will be with him, his army. [He says] the right side is Jahannam and the left side is Jannah. If people believe him, he will put them in what they said is Jannah, but there it is Jahannam. The other side which is [showed as] Jahannam: who doesn’t believe him will be there, but it is Jannah.

Their belief is not right. Everything they have is against Islam, against what Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, against Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah. Many Ulama said that when someone is saying what they said, he must be outside the circle of Iman.

We are living in a time [when] it must be like this because we are living in the end of times. Qiyamah is near. For this, this Fitnah must be, but we must be careful not to be in this Fitnah. May Allah ﷻ save us from it. For this, it is important to be in Jama’ah together, Tariqah people, Muslim people, Ahlu sSunnah wal Jama’ah people. To be strong with each other to not fall in this danger.

You are alhamdulillah all – ‘ ’, ‘Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa’, ‘The believers are but brothers.’ (Qur’ān 49:10). They are all brothers. They must be happy with each other. There’s no time to fight with each other. There is a big danger, you must protect yourself and not look for what your brother is doing and what other good people are doing; no. Just look to be safe from Fitnah.

For this, this mosque, Tariqah and Zawiyah are important. People must be used to come and go together, even if once a week or once in 15 days. If they come, they get Barakah of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Awliyau’Llah. Because this Majlis/gathering is for asking for knowledge, Talabu l-Ilim. It is important and Talabu l-Ilim/seeking knowledge is obligatory for each Muslim.

Many people now are lazy. They like Tariqah, they like Dergah but [say], “Today I’m tired, tomorrow. Tomorrow not...” Even if once a week, come. Especially the night of Jum’ah come for gathering, Allah ﷻ will bless you, give you Barakah and give you every good thing. It is important. Of course it is not obligatory, not Fard but an important thing especially these days, to make your ego follow you. Don’t be lazy [saying], “Oh today I’m not so strong.” Like that, you will never go to this Majlis. Tariqah means to train your ego, to make your ego follow you and not to follow your ego. At least once a week or once in 15 days; at least.

For this, obey the order of Allah Azza wa Jalla. If you are asking for knowledge or Talabu l-Ilim, you will be blessed. Allah Azza wa Jalla says very good things for Talibu l-Ilim/Seeker of Knowledge. Insha’Allah Allah ﷻ make us to follow this. If you, of course, have work and this and that – people are becoming tired. But if you are becoming tired for Dunya, [you should] a little bit for Akhirah also. When you do work or are going to work, make intention: “This is for the sake of Allah ﷻ to get Halal money for family or myself”, Allah ﷻ also rewards you. Insha’Allah this will be Barakah for you, and for us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
