Insha’Allah,

“Faman Yuridi Allāhu 'An Yahdiyahu Yashraĥ Şadrahu Lil'islāmi, Wa Man Yurid 'An Yuđillahu Yaj`al Şadrahu Đayyiqāan Ĥarajāan Ka'annamā Yaşşa``adu Fī As-Samā'i”, “So whoever Allah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islam; and whoever He wants to misguide - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky.” (Qur’an 06:125) Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Everything, hidayah is from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We are living in the end of times. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says about this time: it is a dangerous time. In what is it dangerous? In war or something? No. War has been since ancient times. There hasn’t been a time without war. It is dangerous for the believer. The believer because shayṭān makes them think what they believe is true.

Since more than 12, 13, 14 hundred years, the majority are following this way of Islam. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, you must follow Sawad ul- ‘Aa’zam, the majority. The majority is not the majority of this time. The majority is since 1400 years. All Islam was in one way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. Only since 50 years, this new thing came and it is like fire going everywhere burning belief, belief of Islam, belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah, belief of the majority of Muslims. And they are saying, “This is true. You must follow us.” And the unlucky people are following them. And these, unfortunately, unlucky people thought they are true but they don’t know that Allāh ﷻ made shaytan teach them because they are against Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and they are badbehaved people.

The most [common] thing you see with these people is they don’t have adab. They are bad-behaved people. They are tough and they have no mercy, no smile, nothing; only like rocks. They are tough, not merciful with believers. Not, “Ruhama’a baynahum”, “Merciful among themselves.” (Qur’an 48:29). As Allāh ﷻ praised Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and the people who were from 1400 years in this way.

What we see these days is not those people; it is the opposite. And this must be. Why must it be? Because the end of times must be like this for Allāh ﷻ to send the Caliph of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidina Al-Mahdi ‘alayhi ssalam to clean. This time is insha’Allah not so far. He is Mujtahid Mutlaq. What does it mean? What we are saying, this is sharī’ah, this is ṭarīqah. No need for madhhab anymore. Not like these days where there is also some kind of people who are not following madhhab. They are not following ṭarīqah at all, but now there is a new kind of people who are not following sharī’ah, madhhab. Madhhab is for the way of Islam to be easy for believers. All Imams: Imam Abu Hanifah, Shafi’i, Hanbali, Maliki. These four madhhabs are haqq madhhabs, true madhhabs. What’s out of this nowadays is not true.

But these people are not accepting any madhhab. They say, “We can.” It is not like this. Only one can do this: he is Sayyidina Muhammad Al-Mahdi ‘alayhi ssalam. When he comes – because he is coming by miracle, by what you cannot see in these days – that day, everything will be very clear among people in the world. Everything will be solved. Everything – no more problems, no more fighting, no more any problem. Now the world is full of problems, full of chaos, full of misery, full of injustice. But in that time, by this clearness, everybody will be following him and will be happy. Those who will not follow him will be sent to akhirah. Because the whole world, and it is the promise of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the whole world will be in Islam. What does Islam mean? Peace. The whole world will be in peace. Since Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, only once will the whole world be in peace. After this also, there will be chaos again. After this, Qiyamah will appear. Armageddon, Yawm ulQiyamah will appear.

So, who is lucky follows the real way; not running after these people. These people don’t have mind. Who has mind and good thinking is looking for the truth and follows the true way, way of Prophet ﷺ. There are many ways, ṭuruq which are all taking to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and it is safety for them. But now people are not thinking. They don’t have any good decision. What is their decision? Seeing one speaking, lying on the internet or giving a lecture which is not true.

What they say is true themselves is not in sharī’ah and not in ṭarīqah. They are lying about everybody, even Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

They don’t respect anybody. They say there’s no need for respect. If you respect somebody, they accuse you, “You are mushrik. You are kafir.” This means to be good-behaved is a bad thing. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam says, , “Allāh ﷻ gave me good behavior and He perfected it.” Allāh ﷻ taught me good behavior, and the best thing, He ﷻ has done for me, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam said. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam was respecting everybody: small or big or old, women, girls, boys. Everybody, he ﷺ has respect for them. Because they are coming with hope to reach Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying all this, respecting and teaching us to respect others. Even non-Muslims, even non-believers, all of them, we are respecting. Because Allāh ﷻ created them all and they have their way. We are not following but we are respecting what Allāh ﷻ created as human beings. We must respect not only believers, non-believers also. But these people are not respecting even believers and they are going so far in this way, way of shaytan, way of dajjal, way of bad people.

May Allāh ﷻ save us from them. We must be careful to not fall in their trap. Because their trap –they are making this trap with shaytan. So, who follows them, follows shaytan without knowing. Because the end of life is very important. When you are going to akhirah, that time: if you have good belief, you will be safe. If you don’t have good belief, if your whole life you were wearing these short trousers, shaving your moustache, and praying by opening your feet, your legs, like going to make something not – this is not belief. Belief, to believe is to respect Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. When you don’t do this, in the end when ‘izra’il comes, that time you will be hopeless. You will forget all of this. And when you are asked, shaytan will be there. Because your whole life, he was teaching you. And he will say, “Say this. Don’t say any good thing that time.” This is a very bad end for disrespectful people, bad-behaved people.

May Allāh ﷻ keep us away from them. They are human beings. May Allāh ﷻ give them hidayah. Because there are many of them, when they think and they research, they are coming to the way, coming to the way of sharī’ah and way of ṭarīqah. AlhamduliLlah these are many, but insha’Allah others also. We pray because we need, we want khayr, goodness for everyone. We don’t like to see somebody killing himself in front of you, throwing himself from up, drinking poison. If you see this, you get happy? We are not happy. We will be very unhappy

to see something like this. For this, we are unhappy to see these people doing this, harming themselves before others, and harming others also. For this, we are asking hidayah for them also insha’Allah. May Allāh ﷻ save us from shaytan and his followers.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
