Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says,

Hope for goodness, and you will have it. Think well about everything, certainly, it will be so, says our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Don’t think badly. Always think about things that will happen as good, says our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam.

This month is Safar now. It is called Safar ul-Khayr. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ calls it like this so that is a good month. Many people are afraid of the month of Safar. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim used to say, with the permission of Allah ﷻ, may its goodness be for us and may its evil be for those who ask for the evil. May we have goodness.

It is a holy month. There is nothing to fear about it. We think well about it insha’Allah. It is good for Islam, it is good for people. This month is a blessed month. We must make more Tasbihat, Istighfar, and there is the daily Wazifah for the month of Safar. Everyone knows it. Our brothers will post it out. You should ask for forgiveness and give more Sadaqah. It is a means to make more Istighfar and to do more goodness. As a means to that, this holy month has started. Insha’Allah Allah ﷻ will lead us to goodness. We think about everything as good.

People, especially Muslims should see everything as good. When they see it as good, it will be good for sure. Think that it will be good, and it will be good. When a person thinks it will be bad, it will be like he thinks. May Allah ﷻ protect us. Think about everything as good, whatever it is. You are Muslim, you are Mu’min. Thinking as such will be the means to goodness. Even the worst thing will be good. You may think it is bad, but Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will have wished goodness in that. The wisdom of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is endless. May Allah ﷻ bless our month. May Allah ﷻ make it the means to goodness insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
