Reform Yourselves First Not Dunyā

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

‘Wa Lā Tusrifū ◌ ’Innahu Lā Yuĥibbu Al-Musrifīna’, ‘but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allāh) likes not Al-Musrifûn (those who waste by extravagance).’ (Qur’ān 07:31). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not love wasting by extravagance. He ﷻ also does not love those who waste. Now, people have built an economy based on wasting. This economy is a system that Allāh ﷻ does not like at all. That is why they are consuming and depleting the world. You might say, “The world is inexhaustible, the sea is inexhaustible,” but they are depleting it. Because people are disrupting the order and regularity established by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Žahara l-Fasādu Fī l-Barri Wa l-Baĥri”, “Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea.” (Qur’ān 30:41). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm. Evil has appeared on land and sea, corruption has spread. Everything has become corrupt.

Therefore, the world’s term has expired. Because its term has expired, we are living its final days with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. No matter how much people strive, saying, “We will fix it, we will cleanse it,” they are actually making it worse. Therefore, only Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām, whom Allāh ﷻ promised of and whom our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam foretold about, can cleanse this corruption. Everything will be put back in its place. But even after that, there will not be much time left in the world. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: ‘ ’, ‘Iqtarabati s-sā‘atu’, ‘The Hour has come near.’ (Qur’ān 54:01). “Qiyāmah is near.” Now it has drawn even closer. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam informs us that the time between us and the Day of Judgment is as short as the time between Asr and Maghrib. We are now living through the end of this time.

Therefore, instead of asking, “How will we reform the world?” you must first reform yourselves. And you must wait. The fulfillment of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s promise will, in

shā’a Llāh, not take too long. Because in the sight of Allāh ﷻ, one day is like a thousand years. In the knowledge of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, one day is like fifty thousand years. In shā’a Llāh, those days are near. Because the world has completely gone mad. Nothing is done properly anymore. Mistake after mistake, evil after evil is committed. Despite this, they still think they are doing good. May Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla protect us.

For Muslims and believers, this situation is a trade: the more they hold onto the religion and turn to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the more they will profit. Allāh ﷻ will protect them both physically and spiritually. He ﷻ will give them peace into their hearts. He ﷻ will give barakah to their families. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will protect them amidst this spreading evil. Do not say, “Everyone is doing it, so I will too.” Following them will not save you. Look to your own salvation, because everyone can only save themselves. With Allāh’s ﷻ permission, once you are on the right way, no matter how much evil there is, Allāh ﷻ will protect you. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all. May He ﷻ make us reach those clean, beautiful, and good days, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.

There are recited Qur’ān Khatms, Yasin, tahlilāt, tasbihāt, salawat, and Dala’il AlKhayrāt. May Allāh ﷻ accept whatever good deeds they have done. We gift them all to the soul of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, for the souls of his Ahlu l-Bayt and ṣaḥābah. For the souls of all prophets, Awliyā’, asfiya, mashāyikh. Especially our Shaykh, Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, Hala Sultān, Hajjah Anne Sultān. For the souls of our ancestors. For the souls of believing men and women, Muslim men and women. For goodness and charity to be accepted. To be a means for the happiness here and hereafter, in shā’a Llāh.

Al-Fatiha.
