Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 20:124). ‘Wa Man ‘A’rada an Dhikrī Fa inna Lahu Ma’īshatan Dankāan wa Nahshuruhu Yawma l-Qiyāmati ‘A’ma’, ‘And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind’, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

He ﷻ is describing the state we have nowadays. Whoever forgets Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and turns away from Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will give him all kinds of hardship, and his life will turn into a prison. His life will become terrible, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He will be raised as blind on the Day of Judgment. Because he didn’t see blessings here, he will be raised as blind on Qiyamah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given him so many blessings here but he didn’t see them. He turned away from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and became His ﷻ enemy.

Not only here but everywhere we have been to, the whole world is in hardship. In old times, prices would go up double or triple here. But it is the same everywhere all over the world. In Europe, Asia, everywhere we go, people talk about costliness, hardship and difficult life. Where did it come from? Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t give anything for nothing. When mankind rises against Allah ﷻ, they will never be victorious. The Victor is Allah ﷻ.

They want to rule the whole world according to their own minds. They make their own laws against the law of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, laws against the human nature. They want to force them upon the whole world. And they are forcing them.

Therefore, these things don’t come without a reason. These things that happen to people, costliness and hardship occur because of people who fight against Allah ﷻ. And Allah ﷻ is punishing them with their weakest point that they worship.

There is a physical punishment. And the spiritual one is even worse, but they don’t understand from the spiritual. They think they will take a pill and it will be gone, they will drink heavily and it will be gone. But it is the spiritual one that is the bigger punishment for them.

Therefore, for this costliness and this and that - People must repent to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People must beg Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to show mercy to them. They should say, “We are not from them.” We must all do this, as His ﷻ punishment is reaching all of us. The punishment of one sinister person reaches whole country. Someone’s scabies can make the whole country get scabies. May Allah ﷻ protect us from their evil. We don’t accept anything of these Kafir people who go against Islam and Allah ﷻ. They are going against humanity. They are doing things that are not in human nature. May Allah ﷻ protect all of us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
