A Mercy for the Universe

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla shows the rank of our Holy Prophet ﷺ in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. He ﷻ tells about the highness of his ﷺ rank and that he ﷺ was sent to people as mercy. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm: “ ”, “Wa Mā Kāna Allāhu Liyuadhdhibahum Wa 'Anta Fīhim◌ Wa-Mā Kāna Allāhu Muadhdhibahum Wa-Hum Yastaghfirūn”, “But Allah would not punish them while you, [O Muhammad], are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.” (Qur’an 08:33).

Allāh ﷻ says, “He ﷻ is not sending punishment to this nation because he ﷺ is among them. And there is no punishment to those who ask for forgiveness.” Those who don't ask for forgiveness, or those who don’t believe in our Holy Prophet ﷺ pull that bad condtion to themselves.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is sent to people as light and as mercy. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says so. People who believe this are in profit. And who don't believe it regret it only when their regret is useless and has no benefit. Whoever regrets while he is in this world, who loves our Holy Prophet ﷺ and honors him ﷺ is a very lucky man. He is a man, a servant with great profit. Otherwise, he goes by losing everything and without realizing why he had come and why he is gone.

We are in Cyprus. Mā shā’a Llāh it is the land of casinos here. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ save people from that affliction. These people bring money in sacks. And casinos send taxis and cars after them. They bring them here and send them back. They send them as clean. The worldly situation is like this. Who don't believe will be in the same situation in ākhirah. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. You may still save yourself here. But there is no salvation there.

May Allāh ﷻ give understanding to people so that they see these favours, so that they see kindness of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, how much He ﷻ granted to mankind. Yet, mankind doesn't appreciate any favour, any grant. They are ungrateful. They are thankless. Just like you don't like it when you favour someone and he doesn't appreciate it, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn't like it too. Because He ﷻ is not in need of it. That is like we treated something to someone. But we still need it; we expect gratitude.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives to people and doesn't ask for anything in return. He ﷻ says "Just enter My paradise. Everything is for you." But they say, "We don't want it. We want hell. There are more interesting things there." Sometimes they joke like this. They will regret making such jokes in ākhirah. Allāh ﷻ knows. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ give mind and understanding to

people. May they come to the right way, the way of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. May they attain his ﷺ beautiful favours, his ﷺ beautiful kindness.

There are some people who say they are Muslim but don't want to honor our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Shayṭān has cheated them. “If you do that, you will go out of the religion. You will have made partners to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.” They are cheating them like this. Certainly, a person who says lā ilāha illā Llāh will be saved in ākhirah. But he will be saved with a lot of regret. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. It is a great honor to respect our Holy Prophet ﷺ. The more you respect him ﷺ, the higher honor you attain; because when you make ṣalawāt to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, our Holy Prophet ﷺ returns it to you. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla writes ten times more thawāb for you.

Therefore, in order to be granted this, be together with good people in shā’a Llāh. Ṭarīqahs are the top in that. They treat you, with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. Ṭarīqah shows the way. It shows the beauty of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. May Allāh ﷻ make all of you steadfast in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
