Constriction of Time

This year has passed by. Another year is coming insha’Allah. A year is gone from our life. And we are one year closer to Akhirah. These years in the end of times are like our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “Constriction of Time.” Time is passing very quickly. It is getting closer. One year ends immediately and another year comes.

It is impossible to reach it and stop it. This is the law of Allah ﷻ, the law of the Creator; the natural order of things. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything in order for people to benefit from them. As a test and as benefit. The wisdom of Allah ﷻ in everything is endless. For mankind to benefit from this wisdom, He ﷻ created everything. Some people benefit from it, and some people pass away without getting any benefit. But they will be brought to account. If they repent, Allah ﷻ will forgive all their account. May Allah ﷻ forgive us.

We cannot prevent what is done. As we cannot prevent it, we don’t accept these sins and the bad things that are done with our hearts and tongues. You should say, “Allahumma inna hadha munkarun la narda bihi”, “O’ Allah this is a wrongdoing we dont accept.” You should say, “This is a wrongdoing. These are not good things but sins. We don’t accept what is done. Forgive us and protect us”.

Because when someone commits sins, darkness comes down. Darkness falls on the country wherever it is done. Therefore, we repent and ask forgiveness for that darkness to be lifted. May Allah ﷻ forgive all of us. May He ﷻ forgive our condition insha’Allah. As we said, it is a chance for shaytan to take people into more sins. May Allah ﷻ give them guidance. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the committed sins.

Children and youngsters don’t know life yet. They are cheated a lot. Bad things are shown as good. And good things are shown as bad. Good people are shown and taught as bad. And bad people are shown as good ones. We ask that Allah ﷻ gives them mind and understanding. People don’t realize when they are young, but they understand later. Many people may pass away even without realizing it. They go with their sins and faults. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ give them guidance. May Allah ﷻ bring good people across us insha’Allah.

This year is over. May the next year be a better year for Islam and Muslims insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ send the Sahib. We are without a head, without a Sahib. Therefore, they are playing like toys with us. We are letting ourselves to be attacked. We are letting ourselves to be harmed. And we are destroying ourselves. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
