Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:, “Wa li-Kulli Qawmin Haad”, “And for every people is a guide.” (Qur’an 13:07). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has certainly sent a guide to everyone. The guide He ﷻ refers to is the Prophets who show the guidance of our Prophet ﷺ, the way of Allāh’s ﷻ guidance. Adam ‘alayhi ssalām and then successive Prophets came one after another until our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam came. After him ﷺ, the Companions and those who followed their way became the people who invited others to guidance. They are the inheritors of our Prophet ﷺ, Wārith Muhammadi, those who follow his ﷺ way, they are the people who invite everyone to the way of Allāh ﷻ, they are blessed people. The world is never devoid of them. The Forty, the Seven, the Forty, the Abdāl, the Awtād, the Akhyār— they are all for this world. Through them, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Bihim tumṭarūn, bihim turzaqūn, bihim tunṣarūn.” “Rain falls upon you by their Barakah. Rizq (provision) comes to you by their means. You reach victory by their means.” Rain descends upon us by their barakah, our sustenance comes to us through them, victory is achieved through them. These are the ones who are always needed. The duties from Allāh ﷻ for this world are entrusted to them; it is Allāh’s ﷻ wisdom. Therefore, the world will not remain void.

This world is different in the end times, but normally these blessed ones should be far away, and it is through them that everything happens. Now, some people don’t value them, saying this is wrong. They might be Muslim, but there are many ignorant Muslims. Therefore, it is necessary to honor those who are on Allāh’s ﷻ way. It is necessary to glorify the prophets. It is necessary to know their worth and value, for Allāh ﷻ gives us these blessings through them. The greatest blessing is the blessing of faith. They are individuals sent to humanity to live like human beings.

Of course, every nation has its own different ways and customs. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given this to everyone so that they cannot say on the Day of Judgment, “We were unaware.” It’s not that a prophet only came to the Middle East. Prophets have come from all over the world. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent down books or revelations to guide

people. Everyone was certainly aware of them, but of course, humankind is very susceptible to corruption. They are very prone to following their egos and shayṭān. They say, “No prophet came,” but in fact, they did. However, after the prophet’s death, they immediately portray him differently, worshipping other things, idols, or whatever they themselves decide to worship according to their own minds. Even Sayyidinā Musa ‘alayhi s-salām barely managed to save Bani Isrāil from Pharaoh. They said, “Make us an idol to worship.” So, the nature of humankind, whether Bani Isrāil or others, is the same; they are all descendants of ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salām. They are all susceptible to corruption. Therefore, one must be careful. One must not stray from the way. The way is the way of the prophets. Those who stray from that way will perish. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
