Shukr to Allah ﷻ, we went for a trip [to Southern Turkey] for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ and have returned safely. Insha’Allah Allah ﷻ accepts it. We visited both Maqams and our Mu’min, Mu’minah, Muslim brothers and followers.

The most accepted thing from people in the sight of Allah ﷻ is giving peace and happiness to the hearts of believers. Insha’Allah they were rejoiced. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, even if once a year, we are still able to see them. Even if quickly, we still see them Shukr to Allah ﷻ. In some trips, some people are probably able to see us only once in their lives, because they are very far. But here, Shukr to Allah ﷻ, we can go every year even if it is once a year.

It is a blessing in Allah’s ﷻ sight. It is beneficial both for us and for people who come for Allah’s ﷻ pleasure, who want to follow the way of Allah ﷻ and want to follow the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Allah ﷻ is giving this to their hearts. And they benefit from it and we do.

What is important in this world is to be steadfast on the way of Allah ﷻ. Steadfastness is important, because there are people and shaytan who want to mislead them. To follow this way is the greatest blessing. To follow the way of Allah ﷻ is the greatest blessing. Do not go astray by obeying your ego. Follow the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, Sirat ul-Mustaqeem, the way shown by Allah ﷻ as the right way. Do not go out of it.

How much worship should we perform? How much Tasbihat should we make? Do as much as you can. But what is important is that you are steadfast. Continuity on the way is important. As long as you don’t go out of the way, Allah ﷻ has given you from His ﷻ virtues and generosity and you’ve got the greatest blessing. May Allah ﷻ make it everlasting for all of us. May Allah ﷻ accept it.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
