Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given mind to mankind so that they use that mind. A person who uses his mind certainly finds the right way. If he doesn't use his mind and listens to the words of others. ‘ ’, ‘Wa

in tuti’ ‘akthara man fī l-‘ardi yudillūka a’n sabīli Llāh’, ‘And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah.’(Qur’ān 06:116). If you listen to others, most people will mislead you and separate you from the way of Allāh ﷻ. You will be destroyed.

Allāh ﷻ gave mind to people in order for them to be saved, in order to do their work in dunyā and more important than dunyā, to do things for ākhirah, to know Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla who gives their rizq, their life and souls.

These people, most people use it. They think they use it in the right way. Whereas it is wrong. They are in wrong direction. While the way is here, you are going in the wrong direction and saying "I am going where I must reach". There are many things. There is philosophy, there are other crooked religions. People don't even accept any religion and say "We appeared by ourselves from nothing". There are many people like this. They don't use their minds. They are not clever people.

Clever people are aware of the goodness. They know from where and from whom this goodness is coming. Who is helping us? Who brought us to this world? Who put us here? Who is that? People must know this. Because Allāh ‘Azza waJalla showed it, and Prophets showed it. Clever people know that every hour Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who does everything, He ﷻ is the creator who gives and takes. Who knows this is clever. He uses his mind correctly. Who doesn't know may have as many diplomas as he likes, he may have graduated from as many universities, written as many books, done this and that; he is a person who didn't use his mind. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Qur’ān, ‘ ’, ‘A-fa-lā taʿqilūn’, ‘Then will you not use reason?’ (Qur’ān 37:138). “Don't you have mind? Are you not clever?” When there is so much proof and evidence, you are saying ‘No.’ “Where is your mind?” Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla asks. “Are you stupid? Don't you have mind?” If you have mind, you won't do such things. You won't do things that will ruin you. Who does such things didn't use his mind then. He has mind but he doesn't use it. He used it in other things. He used it wrongly. While thinking he did right to himself, he actually did wrong to himself. May Allāh ﷻ protect all of us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
