To love for the sake of Allāh ﷻ and to hate for the sake of Allāh ﷻ is our duty. It is necessary to love for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, to hate for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, to live for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, and to do everything for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. We should be sad for our shortcomings; Allāh ﷻ forgives what a servant cannot do. We should repent and seek forgiveness for our mistakes, and we will be forgiven. But people today grieve and become distressed over unnecessary things. Why do they do this? Because they have abandoned the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and have strayed onto the way of shayṭān. The way of shayṭān never leads to good, it never brings benefit. Perhaps it brings money, offers different kinds of opportunities, but it never brings goodness. Those who follow shayṭān are always in loss; even if things seem good, they are in ruin.

People are told, “Look, this man followed the way of shayṭān and succeeded,” and people follow him. Another one follows him. In the end, they all follow him. Of course, it’s impossible for them all to succeed at once. They abandon and forget the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla; they go down that wrong way. Then, when something happens to them, they are devastated. They think there is only one way in the world; that way they call the way of success is actually the way of shayṭān. They abandon the good way and enter the useless one. They abandon the way of Allāh ﷻ and follow the way of shayṭān.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given each person a unique quality. However, the current system forces everyone into a single mold. That mold is a completely empty life and a useless lifestyle. They wait in one place in vain for years, thinking they will eventually achieve something, but ultimately, they are disappointed. This is what we are talking about; we saw it again last week, two days ago. The nation, like sheep, is only told, “Study, study,” as if there’s nothing else in life besides studying. Okay, you’re educating them so much, but there needs to be some logic and reason. If millions of people are going to study and do the same job, you need to think about the consequences. They complain, “Oh, the exams were so difficult this year, so many people failed.” But what if they all passed? Where will you find jobs for them all? There are other jobs in life; jobs besides studying; not everyone needs to study. But this is a shayṭānic trick they’ve devised to

control the whole world and impose their will: “Study, study.” They study for twelve, twenty years, but in the end, they’re useless. After that, they can’t do any work. Even if you put them in a job, they can’t work because they’re used to having everything handed to them. Their families take care of them; they live like kings and queens at home. Then, when they need to enter life and start working, they can’t do anything. That’s exactly why this system is the shayṭān’s way. However, on the way of Allāh ﷻ, there is a suitable virtue for everyone, a task ordained by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. But they set aside all these things and, for the sake of their own benefit, they educate people for twelve or fifteen years to control them. And they keep people under control by saying, “There is no other way in the world but this one.” They don’t give people a moment’s freedom. People continue on this way, initially by force, and later of their own free will.

That’s why I say; the way of Allāh ﷻ is the most beautiful way. It is comfortable, it is beautiful; all kinds of beauty are on that way. When one abandons the way of Allāh ﷻ and goes down this shayṭānic way, all kinds of evil and bad things emerge. Deviation, perversion and all kinds of wickedness appear. Because they instill in people not the fear of Allāh ﷻ, but anxiety about the future and the fear of livelihood. They frighten them by saying, “If they don’t study, if they don’t finish university, how will they make a living, what will their situation be?” The state mechanisms are the same way; without a diploma, no one gets a job, no one is hired. So what good is this diploma? Even if they understood just one percent, let alone one tenth, of what they study, you’d be grateful. They just pass people like that, taking their money. Then they ask each other, “Why did society become like this? How did we get to this point?” But everything is obvious. The system and all that is just an excuse; everything is the same in dunyā. It’s not just here, the whole world is like this. Under the name of globalization, they’ve molded all of humanity into a single form. They scare people by saying, “You can’t get out of this way, if you do, you’ll be ruined!” However, those who step outside this system—those who don’t study, those who aren’t on that way—are much more sensible. They can use their own logic, intellect and minds. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. They provide so much education, but there’s no adab, no respect left; no values at all. May Allāh ﷻ help us. May Allāh ﷻ send us the sāhib, may he save us, in shā’a Llāh.
