Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 18:107). ‘Inna l-ladhīna āminu wa a’milu s-ṣāliḥāti kānat lahum jannātu lfirdawsi nuzulā’, ‘Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging.’

For those who believe, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says there is as much beauty in Akhirah as much hardship they have in this world. There is eternal beauty and eternal life, the life of paradise without hardships and sorrow. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has promised things we cannot imagine in our mind.

People live in this world and think they know everything. But if they go to another country, not even Akhirah, they get surprised at how much they don’t know. This is very little compared to Akhirah. There are things that you cannot imagine to be in this world. You cannot comprehend the beauties and happiness in paradise.

People have gone after the happiness of this world. This world has nothing but distress. For those who believe, Allah ﷻ makes their hearts content in this world as well, as they’ve got Akhirah. But people who don’t have Iman, who don’t believe in Allah ﷻ have no hope at all. They have nothing. Therefore, they rush to this and that. They think they will feel better when they do so. But no goodness comes from badness. Badness comes from badness. And goodness comes from goodness.

Therefore, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, don’t oppress anyone and don’t let anyone be oppressed. People don’t know that. They think it is better if they envy and oppress people more; whereas Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given beforehand everyone’s Rizq and the things they should do. Everything is by measurement and account. “I didn’t create you in vain,” says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Therefore, those who are on the way of Allah ﷻ live happily here and hereafter. They know that Iman is the most powerful thing and that every breath goes for goodness. Otherwise, they don’t know anything to be good. They always blame others and see no fault in themselves. Eventually, it won’t bring any benefit unless they believe. They will be at loss. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give everyone guidance insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Ayat and Surat from Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, Tasbihat, Tahlilat and Salawat to our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Our brothers have recited them to make a gift to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh. For goodness to come and evil to be gone; for the strength of our Iman.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
