Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created mankind and placed them on earth. But mankind has mostly followed the way of Allah ﷻ and then gone astray. So they were destroyed when they did so.

Three days ago we were in the southern part of Turkey, in Anatolia. Many nations had lived there because Allah ‘Azza had given them everything; soil, water, sun and beautiful lands. People flowed and resided there. Millions and billions of people had lived there. As we said, they were sent Prophets. They were shown the right way too. But mankind is as such that they follow the right way in the beginning, but later shaytan and ego mislead them. Such people had lived here, and then they were destroyed. Other people then other people came in their place. It has been so until today. And now Shukr to Allah ﷻ, people live by the religion of Islam. But shaytan is not leaving them alone. He is disturbing them.

Peace and comfort are in Islam, in the belief in Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The times of peace of the people of old times were only when they believed in Allah ﷻ and worshipped Allah ﷻ. Otherwise, they were destroyed. Most of the times, their leaders claimed to be gods and ordered to worship them. When it happened like this, they were destroyed themselves and the rest were destroyed.

Therefore, we are living in such a time, don’t say nothing will happen to you. Be careful about it. Follow the way of Allah ﷻ. Be together with Allah ﷻ so that there is peace and comfort. May Allah ﷻ protect you. Whereas if you are an enemy to Allah ﷻ, who will protect you from Allah ﷻ? No one can protect anyone from Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

They say there is a lot of hardship now. How does it occur? It occurs because of what you do. It comes from your rebellion against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla; nothing else. Allah ﷻ is Powerful over everything. If you trust in Allah ﷻ and obey Allah ﷻ, everything will be good. Just like He ﷻ didn’t let Sayyidina Ibrahim ‘alayhi s-salam be burnt in fire, you will not be burnt in these troubles. Nothing will happen to you.

May Allah ﷻ give Iman to all of us. May Allah ﷻ give us strong Iman. Because as we said, no one lives forever. Millions and billions have come and gone. We see that Anatolia and Middle East are among the places where mankind has lived the most and Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent the most Prophets. Therefore, we must take a lesson and turn to Allah ﷻ insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms. Murids are sending them from all over the world, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. There are Qur’an Khatms, Yasin, Surahs, Tabarakah. May Allah ﷻ accept all the Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat and Tahlilat, Salawat on our Holy Prophet ﷺ. We gift them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh. We gift them to late relatives of those who have read. We gift them to souls of all Muslims and Mu’mins. May Allah ﷻ accept it as strength to our Iman. May He ﷻ give us comfort. May He ﷻ let us live good long life in health. May He ﷻ give cure to the sick and solution to problems. May it be the means for goodness insha’Allah. May the evil be gone.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
