Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is granting big favors to Muslims, to those who believe in Allah ﷻ. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not in need of anyone. Everyone is in need of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. No one can give the favors given by Him ﷻ. No one can give what He ﷻ gives. And no one can take what He ﷻ doesn’t give.

One can be as knowledgeable and as powerful as he wants, he can think he is clever as much as he wants. Clever is the one who accepts the power of Allah ‘Azza waJalla and strives to be a servant to Him ﷻ. He follows the way that He ﷻ wants, as that is the way to happiness. People search for happiness. The way of happiness is the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. No other way can bring relief and happiness.

There are many favors that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives us. To worship Him ﷻ is the greatest gift to those who are granted it. Because Allah ﷻ is not in need of anyone, as we said. That worship is beneficial and good for you. It is for your goodness. Otherwise, they say “I don’t recognize Him ﷻ. I don’t accept Him ﷻ”. Who are you? So what if you recognize Him ﷻ or not? The whole world may not recognize Him ﷻ. Let alone the world, let the universe not recognize Him ﷻ. There is no loss as little as an atom to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

As Mawlana Shaykh Nazim said, a mouse fell in a barrel of wine and came out completely drunk however it had escaped out of it. It said, “Where is this cat? Let it confront me”. The cat swallowed it in an instant and it was gone. It is so with the people of this time. They act cool, go against Allah ﷻ and challenge Him ﷻ. The mouse is much more valuable and even cleverer compared to them. It didn’t say these things when it wasn’t drunk. These people are talking nonsense without being drunk. It is only harmful to them. There is no harm to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has a lot of mercy to people. The goodness they will have is shown. That beautiful way is shown. It is shown so that they are continuous on it. But for people who ask for harm to themselves, no one can interfere in that. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of the end of times and shaytans. Human shaytans are worse than shaytan now. Human shaytans are as such that - may Allah ﷻ protect Muslims children. Children think something important of them and follow them. They take example from them. May Allah ﷻ protect us from their evil. May Allah ﷻ turn their evil upon them.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
