Dunyā Will Not Improve Without Mahdī (As)

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we reached this night. May Allāh ﷻ accept it. May it all be for good, and may it be a means of guidance, in shā’a Llāh. The thing people need most is guidance, to be on the way of Allāh ﷻ. May everyone had attained the spiritual nourishment of last night (the Night of Ragh, in shā’a Llāh. May it be a means of guidance for this Ummah, in shā’a Llāh. May their deeds be for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ, in shā’a Llāh.

If there is any evil done, may Allāh ﷻ forgive them. And may people repent. Because there are many people who, knowingly or unknowingly, harm others not themselves for worldly benefit. They harm others for their ego, for their own benefit, and then they say, “Save me.” Your salvation is already where you are. Wherever your place is, wherever you are, that’s where you will be saved. Only Allāh ﷻ can help you. No one can help you except Allāh ﷻ. Because the evil deeds and mistakes you’ve committed have harmed people in every way. Only Allāh ﷻ can forgive their rights.

Many now are doing all sorts of things to make money; we see that. Why? Because there’s nothing left, no īmān left, no Islamic upbringing left. After the Ottoman Empire, there was the shayṭān domination. This was already in the Ottoman period. Even a hundred or a hundred and fifty years prior to the Ottomans, there was the French Revolution, which spread corruption throughout the world. That French Revolution took control of the whole world. It’s been in their hands, in the hands of these shayṭāns, ever since. They make whatever they want appear white, whatever they want appear black, whatever they want appear good. Therefore, they’ve erased all the knowledge and upbringing that was taught and practiced during the Ottoman era. They teach evil, nothing else.

Therefore, this is the state of the world. Unfortunately, I must say this here, the state of the world will never improve. It will never get better in this state. As Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim said, things won’t improve before the arrival of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. So, there’s no point in hoping or doing anything for that. People of this time have been placed in

such a state, in their hearts, that whatever you say, whatever you do is in vain. They think of them as heroes, but after the Ottomans, all the heroes in the world, everywhere, were nothing but traitors. They are nothing but people who harm others, who harm Muslims. Why? Because they think it benefits their egos. So they do whatever they want.

As we said, this situation won’t improve. “Isn’t this hopelessness?” Why are we saying this? To beg Allāh ﷻ that Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes soon. May he take away all this filth from the world. May he remove and cast out this filth from all of us, the filth of our egos. We all have this thing; they’ve made people in such a way that, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, as soon as they reach a certain point, they immediately start doing evil. We are living in such a situation. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

May Allāh ﷻ, in honor of this night, bring Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām soon. Otherwise, how many things – and shukr to Allāh ﷻ, since the Ottoman era, how many different systems have come. Infidels came, communists came, atheists came. Those who called themselves Muslims (only by name) came; and they were the ones who caused the most harm to Muslims. Therefore, people must believe what our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam said; only then will the world be set right. May Allāh ﷻ send him soon. May we see those beautiful days, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.

There are also recitations of the Qur’an and Yasin. We dedicated recitations last night, and they recited again. We dedicate all of them to Allāh. There are Qur’ān Khatms, Yasin, Surahs, Verses, Tasbihs, Tahlils, Salawats, and the recitation of the Dalail alKhayrat. May Allāh ﷻ accept all the good deeds and charity performed. May Allāh ﷻ accept them all for the great soul of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his ﷺ family, his ﷺ companions, the souls of all the Prophets, Saints, Asfiya, and mashāyikh. The souls of all our deceased. The souls of believing men and women, and Muslim men and women. May the good intentions of those who recite them be fulfilled. May they have happiness here and hereafter. May there be Shifa. May they be a means of goodness.

Al-Fatiha.
