BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:

(Qur’ān 09:119). ‘Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-Llaha Wa Kūnū Ma’a sSādiqīn’, ‘O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.’ Allah ‘Azza waJalla is saying, “O believers, fear from Allah ﷻ. Be with the truthful ones. Be with the right people”. We must be so in all times. The time we are living in is the end of times. It is difficult to find such people. Besides, there are people who claim to be Hojjahs and teach other people. There are many people who consider themselves ‘Alims and make people do the opposite of what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. They are not ‘Alims but, “Alimu Su'”, “Bad scholar.” There are many people with the attributes of bad ‘Alims.

This occurred after the Ottomans. They had overthrew the Ottomans. The Ottomans were the castle of Islam. They destroyed it and want to finish this castle completely. They want to finish Islam by destroying belief with all kinds of Fitnah. This is the goal of shaytan. And those who are with shaytan are selling their Akhirah for this goal, for money, for fame and for all kinds of useless things. They are doing this for completely useless worldly things that are worth two pennies. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has cursed them. Prophets have cursed them. And Mu’mins have cursed them.

A curse is not a good thing. It is the worst thing. A cursed person will not have goodness forever. Therefore, people who go astray for money and for fame are not good people. Don’t believe them. Don’t go after them. The people you must go after are Tariqahs with the permission of Allah ﷻ. That is Tariqah, Haqiqah (Reality) and Ma’rifah (Knowledge). This way is the beautiful way. It is the way of Shari’ah and the way of Madhhabs. Otherwise, people who appeared later and claim to be this and that bring no benefit. They bring harm. Even though they may seem beneficial in the beginning, they are exposed later. They harm people and destroy their belief. They take people away from the religion. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of bad ‘Alims, bad people and bad Jama’ah.

Those who have direct connection with our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam are Tariqahs. There is no connection through others. That which goes up to our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, whichever Tariqah it is, certainly follows his ﷺ way and reaches up to him ﷺ. But “Jama’ah” is newly made up. Allah ﷻ knows how it is made, who made it and whether it is good or bad. Those who seem good turn out to be bad later. May Allah ﷻ protect us. The right way is Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah. And that accepts Awliya, Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah. It is the way that loves all of them. May Allah ﷻ let us serve on this way. May it be the guidance for people. May they come to this way insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
