May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ protect us from Fitnah and the evil of this time. As we are living in the end of times, all kinds of hardship are occurring. Why is that? That is because of the rebellion of people against Allah ﷻ. Because of them rebelling and going against Allah ﷻ, all kinds of hardship are happening.

People who obey Allah ﷻ will be protected. Otherwise, people who oppose Allah ﷻ and think something of themselves, all kinds of disasters will come upon them. And the biggest disaster, bigger than the disasters and troubles happening to them, is their opposition against Allah ﷻ. That is the biggest disaster. Rebelling against Allah ﷻ is the biggest badness done to themselves.

Those who are against Allah ﷻ have nothing, no hope, nothing as victory. They are the people defeated by their egos, defeated by shaytan and defeated by their desires. Imitating and admiring them is stupidness. Allah ﷻ won’t let them have goodness in this world unless they repent. And they won’t have goodness in Akhirah. May Allah ﷻ protect people from obeying their egos and obeying shaytan. There cannot be a worse thing.

As we said, we see all kinds of disasters in the world. As it is the end of times, things that had never happened before have happened in this time. In this time, to be patient and to be together with Allah ﷻ is the biggest benefit for us. Even if difficulties occur, those difficulties are for your benefit. They don’t go in vain. Those who are with Allah ﷻ are always in profit. They will always be in profit. Otherwise, those who are against Allah ﷻ are always at loss and they will always be at loss. May Allah ﷻ protect us from their evil. May Allah ﷻ give us the strength of Iman. May He ﷻ give guidance to people. We cannot ask for anything else for them. May He ﷻ give them guidance. Their current troubles are enough for them. If they have guidance, they will be saved from them.

It has become a fashion among people now. ‘Fashion’ is from shaytan anyways. It is a fashion now to oppose Allah ﷻ, to oppose our Holy Prophet ﷺ. They think it is cool among children and youth, whereas they don’t know they are harming themselves. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give them guidance.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
