Reject the Wrongdoings

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam wouldn’t want to get angry. When he ﷺ was asked to say his ﷺ will, he ﷺ said, “Don’t get angry.” Don’t get angry in case you satisfy your ego and want to oppress others. He ﷺ says, “La Taghdab”, “Don’t get angry.”

But it is an accepted thing on the way of Allah ﷻ, on the way of truth. You must be angry at things that are against Allah ﷻ as much as you can. You must not be happy with them. You must speak to prevent them as much as you can. And if you cannot do so, if you cannot solve it by saying, you must detest it in your heart. You must not accept it. That is disliked by Allah ﷻ and disliked by our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Saying “This is ok. It is alright” to be tolerant is nonsense.

You cannot do it. If you dare say something in this time we are living, it can be even worse, and it gets worse. Therefore, say it is not normal in your heart. It is not normal for humanity, and it is not normal for Islam. Don’t let your ego accept it by saying it’s ok and validating it. What we see is disliked by Allah ﷻ. We dislike it too. We can’t do anything. But our hearts must be against it. We can’t be against it from the outside. But we must be against it from the inside. Because if you accept it, you will slowly start doing so too. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

So wherever you see bad things, say that we are not going to accept it, we don’t accept it and we dislike it. Why don’t we like it? Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t like it, and our Holy Prophet ﷺ doesn’t like it. We love what Allah ﷻ loves, and we don’t love what Allah ﷻ doesn’t love. Even if we don’t say it out loud, no one can decide on what we feel inside except Allah ﷻ.

Therefore, “The weakest of Iman.” We are living in the time when Iman is the weakest. Therefore, may we not accept it in our hearts. May we be against it. There is a reward for this. Otherwise, as we said, it is harmful. Accepting and tolerating it by saying it is ok, not going against it even from inside will finish your Iman. Iman is weak, so there will be no Iman at all then. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of this time.

It is all over the world, not only in one place. We are living in the time of absolute dark ignorance. It is the time of highest knowledge and highest science. But even science is not even zero next to the science and knowledge of Allah ﷻ. Therefore, we are living in the time of absolute ignorance. Ignorant ones think they are knowledgeable. They think they know everything, whereas we live in the darkest time of ignorance. May Allah ﷻ protect us. We don’t accept these wrongdoings. May Allah ﷻ make us firm and steadfast. And may Allah ﷻ give guidance to people.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
