Everything Without Mentioning Allāh ﷻ

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm,

“Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Sakhkhara Al-Baĥra Lita’kulū Minhu LaĥmāanŢarīyāan Wa Tastakhrijū Minhu Ĥilyatan Talbasūnahā”, “And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear.” (Qur’ān 16:14). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: “He ﷻ created this sea for mankind, for their benefit. From it you can both eat food and extract pearls and other ornaments.” Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has made everything subservient to us. What does subservient mean? It means He ﷻ has made it a means for us to benefit and to serve mankind; Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created it that way.

The earth, the sky, the mountains, and the stones created by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla all make dhikr (mention) Allāh ﷻ. Therefore, a person who makes dhikr of Allāh ﷻ along with them also benefits from them. Those who do not glorify Allāh ﷻ, who never think of Him ﷻ, and who think of other things, are at a loss. No matter how much they do, they say, “I know, I do.” They show and explain, “This happened, that happened,” but they do not mention the Creator. They do not mention Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Everything clearly shows the existence of Allāh ﷻ. Yet they deny it. People strive tirelessly and relentlessly to keep others away from Allāh ﷻ. But their efforts are futile; in the end, they will gain nothing. It will only cause harm; nothing beneficial.

Knowledge is the knowledge given by Allāh ﷻ and that which makes us know Allāh ﷻ. Anything else is nothing but ignorance. They keep boasting, “We have built so many universities, we have educated so many students,” but that knowledge is useless; may Allāh ﷻ protect us from it. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “May Allāh ﷻ protect us from useless knowledge.”,

“Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min ‘ilmin la yanfa’, wa qalbin la yakhsha’”, “O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that is of no benefit, a heart that is does not fear You.” [Ḥadīth]. “May Allāh ﷻ protect us from a heart that does not fear Allāh ﷻ, and may Allāh ﷻ protect us from useless knowledge.” This is the du’ā’ of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. May Allāh ﷻ grant us all the fulfillment of that du’ā’, in shā’a Llāh.

The sea is, of course, everywhere in the world; they say that most of the world is sea. But we are in the end of times, and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla states in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n: , “Žahara l-Fasādu Fī l-Barri Wa l-Baĥri”, “Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea.” (Qur’ān 30:41). “Everything has become corrupted on land and sea.” Because mankind has gone astray, they have corrupted that vast sea and everything in it. The command of Islām, the command of Allāh ‘Azza waJalla, is this: Keep everything clean. On the contrary, they strive to defile everything. What they eat is filth, what they drink is filth. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

When everything is done without Basmala no matter how clean they claim it is, it’s useless; they don’t really know much about cleanliness anyway. And not saying Basmala makes everything even dirtier. May Allāh ﷻ guide them and send the sāhib, in shā’a Llāh. Let there be cleanliness. When he comes, everything will be perfectly clean, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ unite us with him soon, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
