Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 08:22). ‘Inna Sharra Ad-Dawābbi IndaAllāhi Aş-Şummu Al-Bukmu AlLadhīna Lā Yaqilūn’, ‘Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Who is the worst creature? It is the one who has mind but doesn’t use it.” Kafirs, those who don’t believe in Allah ﷻ are the most evil creatures; because everything makes Tasbih to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, praises and accepts Allah ﷻ.

Those who don’t accept Allah ﷻ are the worst creatures. As they are the worst creatures in the sight of Allah ﷻ, they don’t do anything except badness among people as well. Even though they say they are doing goodness, there is evil in their goodness. There is no goodness in it. Creatures that are not together with Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are away from goodness, away from humanity. They are away from all kinds of beauty.

Those who are with Allah ﷻ are the good beloved servants of Allah ﷻ. Servants who are not beloved ones of Allah ﷻ are not loved. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says “I love this servant of Mine,” and people love him. When He ﷻ says “I don’t love this creature,” people don’t love him. Even if they say they love him, that is the love of the ego. The love of Allah ﷻ is different. And the love of the ego is the love that has no use. It has no value. It doesn’t last. It brings no benefit. It brings nothing but badness.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given mind. Mind is the decoration - The decoration of people is their mind. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given mind to see the right and the truth. As long as you see it, you are fine. Your way is open and beautiful then. Otherwise, when you use it for your ego and desire, you misuse it and it vanishes. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

We always ask that Allah ﷻ gives mind and understanding. When we have mind and understanding, good things happen. A person without mind is not a good person. They either put the person who has lost his mind in a madhouse, or do something else with him. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give strong Iman to all of us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
