Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we have good tidings. Islām is good tidings for Muslims. We reached these beautiful days, of the birth of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. We attained their virtue, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla are giving good tidings to people. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Wa-abshirū bi-l-jannati llatī kuntum tū‘adūn. Naḥnu awliyā’ukum fī l-ḥayāti d-dunyā wa-fī l-ākhirah" (41:30-31). May you have the good tidings, that Allāh ﷻ promised you Paradise. You will be in Paradise.

This is the best news. No need to fear, for believers and people who are Muslim. Those who are together with Allāh ﷻ don't need to be afraid, with permission of Allāh ﷻ. The thought of going to hell makes them feel like crying. "Will we go to hell or Paradise?" Don't be afraid. Allāh ﷻ gave you good tidings. The Word of Allāh ﷻ is true. You have been promised Paradise. You are going to Paradise.

These are great tidings for people in Islām, because when people make mistakes in this life and don't correct them, it will be difficult. But, whether they correct them or not, their life continues. However, the life of ākhirah is not like this. If they slip, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, they cannot ever be saved. One of the great awliyā’, Ḥaḍrat al-Būṣīrī, says in Qaṣīdah al-Burdah: "Bushrá lanā ma‘shara l-Islām inna lanā mina l-‘ināyati ruknan ghayra munhadimi." He wrote these beautiful words. And people always sing them. They used to sing this. Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh ad-Dāghistānī always used to repeat this verse. We heard it from his holy mouth many times. This

verse says, "May good tidings be upon Muslims. We have a base like a firm castle. What we are based on will never collapse. Don't be afraid. May you have good tidings."

This way is a beautiful way. Therefore, being steadfast on this way is beneficial, first to people themselves. And it is beneficial to their families, relatives and other people. To benefit from Islām is something everyone can do. But there are enemies, like the ego, desire and shayṭān, which prevent it.

There are four enemies. What do these enemies do? They don't wish you goodness. They wish you badness. They want to destroy you. Don't listen to them. They are... "Wa-khālifu n-nafsa" – oppose your ego and oppose the rest. Oppose shayṭān so that you have good tidings, and become a beloved servant of Allāh ﷻ, so that you live in their Paradise forever, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ let us attain these good tidings for the honor of holy Mawlid, in shā’a Llāh.
