Use Your Mind Not Ego

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ told about many signs of the end of times. One of them is:

Everyone admires his own opinion and does not accept the opinions of others. Even if he is not right, he thinks his opinion and actions are right. And he claims that others are not right. This is one of the disasters and badness of the end of times. But it is also a sign and proof that Qiyamah has come closer.

It is ‘Democracy’ that people of the present time talk about. Everyone says his opinion. You may say it, but you must also accept the truth of others. They don’t do that. They only want to accept what their ego wants, what their desire wants, whomever they love or don’t love. And they want others to accept that. Others have their own opinions and things they want to do. Therefore, there is confusion. Controversies and enmity occur because of this.

Whoever accepts the truth, if everyone accepts the truth, there will not be anything, there will not be disagreement. But as the world is in the end of times, everything our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam had mentioned is taking place. And this is one of the disasters and badness of this time.

People must accept the truth in order to be at ease - others’ truth, their own truth. When something happens to them, even if the world falls down on them, they get happy if what they say happens. Whereas they will also go under the world and will be crushed. Allah ﷻ gave mind to people. They are not using this mind now. What they use is only their ego, what their ego wants. Mind is different and ego is different. May Allah ﷻ give mind and understanding to people so that they live in peace. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May He ﷻ make us from those who accept the truth insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
