Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

We visited the Awliya. For the spiritual power of the saints is perceptible to the visitor at their resting places. Alhamdulillah that this visit was made possible for us. We were traveling outside of Istanbul for three or four days to visit the saints. This visit, far from the brothers and sisters, was also like a small retreat, which one sometimes needs for reflection. Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, has often assigned His Awliya a place in the mountains, on the mountain peaks. If you look at most Awliya, their graves and resting places are in the mountains. For the mountains have a deep meaning. Mountains are of great importance; both for this world and for faith. Even our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) retreated to the Hira cave on the Mountain of Light, overlooking Mecca, before his calling, that is, before the revelation came to him, to devote himself to worship there. For days, sometimes a whole month, he stayed on this mountain peak. There is a secret, a special wisdom, in these mountains. Divine manifestations and graces flow down there. Therefore, our visit - Allah willing - was also an attempt to follow the example of the prophets. May Allah accept it. May it, Inshallah, bring about good. May it, Inshallah, lead to our prayers being answered. May Allah strengthen our faith. May He, Inshallah, grant us all the good that strengthens our faith. For through constant gratitude and prayer, goodness, blessings, and faith increase. Alhamdulillah, we have returned safely. All thanks are due to Allah. Inshallah, may it bring blessings, peace, and healing to us and our brothers and sisters.

There's a wise saying: "Himmat-ur-rijal taqla-ul-jibal." This means: The resolve of the righteous moves mountains. As long as a person is determined enough, nothing can stand in their way. With Allah's permission, they can achieve anything they set their mind to. However, this will must serve good. For it is easier for a person to do evil than good. Doing good, on the other hand, is significantly more difficult. Why is that? Because Satan, one's own ego, and the social environment try to hinder a person as soon as they decide to do good. Unfortunately, this is the state of affairs in today's world. While good is despised and hindered, evil is glorified and portrayed as normal. It has come to the point that one is no longer even allowed to call evil by its name. Because most people have chosen the side of evil; they have been sold evil as "good," and they have believed it. Although they could lead a pure and good life, as befits a human being, they choose the exact opposite. And they even present this choice as if it were a great achievement. But they are not content with that. As if that weren't enough, they cannot bear it when a minority in society tries to lead a decent life. They exert pressure and say: "You have to become like us." This situation is reminiscent of what the prophets experienced in the past. When a prophet came to call people to the right path, he was usually rejected. It even went so far that they became hostile towards him and said: "How dare you prescribe what is good and beautiful for us? We don't want someone like that here!" May Allah protect us – our time has become like those days again. Yes, it has become difficult to do good. But the more difficult a deed is, the greater its reward with Allah. Therefore, a servant on Allah's path is not deterred by what others say or do. For him, only Allah's command matters. Even if the whole world is against him and he stands alone, he is obligated to do what is right. The reproach of people has no significance. The true value lies in the good deed itself, which is performed despite all resistance. And as mentioned before: The greater the hardship in doing good, the greater the reward. May Allah grant us all ease and guide humanity. Because many people mistakenly consider the bad deeds and sins they commit to be something good. They tell themselves: "That's just life, that's normal." Yet, humans are endowed with intellect and reason. And Allah's commandments are clear. Therefore, it is essential to follow these commandments. Whoever does not do so will only face disappointment. It brings no benefit but only causes great harm. May Allah protect us all. May Allah guide all of humanity.

O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner. (33:45)
And one who invites to Allah, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp. (33:46)
Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, honors the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
He praises him.
He says: "We have sent you…"
Allah, the Exalted, has sent the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as a mercy to all mankind.
He has sent him as a light and a grace for the people. Every blessing and all good comes to us for the sake of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
His path is a path of light.
Whoever does not follow his path falls into misery.
Whoever does not show him due respect is deceived.
No matter how much you honor him, it is always appropriate.
In the Qasida al-Burda, Imam al-Busiri says: "As long as you do not claim what the Christians say about their prophet, praise him and commend him as much as you like."
There is no limit to praising the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
Love what Satan despises.
For what Satan hates is to praise, honor, and love the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. That is precisely what he abhors.
He misleads people by telling them: "You are making a mistake."
He whispers to them: "No one but Allah may be glorified and praised."
Yet Allah, the Exalted, Himself has honored the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and commanded us to do the same.
He has commanded: "Honor him, love him, show him respect."
Allah, the Exalted, says: "I have created everything for his sake."
If people do not honor him, they are ungrateful.
If a Muslim does not show him due respect, it is a tremendous loss.
This state is a danger to his faith.
Those who did not honor him never fared well.
Their paths ended in nothing, their traces were erased.
Even if Satan shows them new paths, the path they took was never lasting.
Satan certainly does not rest, but a believer will also never cease to honor the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
This blessed Friday, too, was given to us in honor of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
Friday is the most noble day for this Ummah, the day with the greatest reward and the most beloved day to Allah.
This gift, too, was bestowed upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Ummah.
Thanks be to Allah.
One must be grateful for gifts so that they increase.
The greatest gift that Allah has given us is faith and love for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
We must also be grateful for this gift.
May Allah preserve it for us.
May Allah not let any of us stray from this path, Insha'Allah.

In a noble hadith of our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, it is said: "La darara wa la dirar." This means: "A Muslim harms no one, nor does he allow himself to be harmed." One should not inflict harm or suffering on anyone. A Muslim does not torment people. Not only people, but also animals – indeed, he harms absolutely nothing and no one. He also does not allow harm to be inflicted. He also prevents others from causing harm. This is the attitude of a Muslim. He does good to his surroundings and to all of humanity. He also does no harm to his environment, the place where he lives. But nowadays – may Allah protect us from this – people in anger harm not only others, but also themselves. All of this is forbidden. These are deeds that a Muslim should not commit. Those who act in this way may think they are harming others. But in reality, they are inflicting the greatest harm on themselves. Unfortunately, most people are indifferent to this nowadays. Even carelessly throwing garbage on the street is a harmful act. Therefore, a believer should pay attention even to the smallest things. Take, for example, the forest fires that we are experiencing these days. It is said that these are caused by people. If this is so, those who do this incur a tremendous sin. It doesn't matter whether it is done intentionally or through negligence. People must be very careful here. Some throw away their cigarettes without extinguishing them properly, and a fire starts. Others, in turn, might deliberately set forests on fire out of anger at the government. But how many living beings burn there! Innocent creatures, animals, insects, countless living beings... Whoever harms them is guilty of their suffering. And with this deed, he does not harm others, but inflicts the greatest harm on himself. He even harms his family and brings shame upon his ancestors. The burden of this sin will affect them all. This is precisely why one must be so careful. Before a person does something, they should pause and consider the consequences. Although this noble hadith consists of only a few words, it would be enough for all of humanity. If people only adhered to it, the world would be a rose garden. May Allah give us understanding and insight, may He improve people. Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, says: "Wa idhal wuhushu hushirat" (81:5). This means: "And when the wild beasts are gathered..." People have become like wild animals. May Allah protect us, may Allah improve them.

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life." (89:24) When a person is dying, their whole life flashes before their eyes before they pass into the hereafter. People always say, like in a film... That's exactly how it will be. The person looks back and laments full of regret: "Oh, if only I had prepared for this life of mine!" At the moment of death, in the last breaths, Allah, the Exalted, opens the insight of His servant. He sees everything. He sees the people around him, the scene before him, all his past deeds, and laments: "If only I had done good!" But this "if only" is of no use then. Even during their lifetime, people lament: "If only I had made this deal, then I would have earned so much money." They think: "If only I had bought that piece of land, how rich I would be now." One longs in this world for what one has missed and says: "If only I had married this person, everything would have turned out differently," or "If only I had done business with that person, it would have gone better." One is annoyed, dejected. One says to oneself: "It just didn't work out, it wasn't meant to be." "Even though there were so many opportunities." No one in this world can achieve everything they want. But if a servant wants to do good and perform his worship, then Allah, the Exalted, will not prevent him from doing so. Some then say: "Allah did not will it." Yes, Allah did not allow it, but there is a secret in that as well. When you say "Allah did not allow it," you simply shift the responsibility onto Allah, the Exalted. As if you yourself are not to blame. You acquit yourself. You even portray yourself as a victim, Allah forbid. But it's not that simple. This matter belongs to the secrets of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. The secret of destiny, meaning which acts of worship a person will perform, is known only to Him. But if a person sincerely wants it, then Allah, the Exalted, will enable him to do it. For there is the free will of man and the all-encompassing will of Allah. Therefore, man should not shift the blame onto Him. Man should fulfill his duty, perform his worship. Performing worship is not difficult. For worldly things, people take on much more strenuous work throughout the day. They perform work that is a hundred times harder without getting tired or complaining. But when it comes to worship, then come the excuses: "I can't, I can't do it." But as already said: In the last breaths, Allah, the Exalted, reveals this truth to man. But repentance at this moment is of no use. "If only I had prayed, fasted, given alms and Zakat, and made the pilgrimage..." "I had the money and was in the best of health." But while one keeps saying "I'll do it later," suddenly – bam – the last breath is taken and life is over. May Allah protect us from that. May my Lord enable us to perform our deeds in time. May my Lord remove this laziness and sluggishness from us, Insha'Allah.

Our Lord! Bring us out, that we may work righteousness, not that which we used to work. (35:37) Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, says: On the Day of Judgment, most of the people who find themselves in Hell will plead: "O Lord, send us back so that we can do good instead of the bad deeds we have committed." But once there, there is no return. That is precisely why man should appreciate the value of life while he is still in this world. The true value of life unfolds only through worship and following the path of Allah, the Almighty. What, in contrast, is a worthless, meaningless life? It is a life far from Allah, far from worship, obedience, and good deeds. Such a life is worthless and ultimately wasted. A fulfilled and useful life is only possible if one constantly remains on the path of Allah, the Almighty. Otherwise, there can be no talk of benefit. It is nothing but pure harm. One harms both oneself and one's fellow human beings. The believer, on the other hand, always benefits; he is always at an advantage. No matter what happens to him: Because he is on the path of Allah, Allah rewards him for his deeds, even for his mere intention. For example, if he intends to do a good deed but fails to do so, he is still credited with a good deed. But if he performs it, he is credited with ten good deeds—or even a hundred, a thousand... Allah multiplies the reward with Him as He wills. Even if he cannot do it, he receives a reward for his intention alone. However, if he intends a bad deed but then does not do it, it is not counted as a sin for him. If he intends a bad deed but does not carry it out, no sin is recorded for him. For Allah, the Almighty, does no one wrong. To the one who does good, Allah shows His mercy. But whoever commits a bad deed, only one sin is counted against him. Only one, not ten. With the reward for good, it is the other way around. This is the great mercy that Allah, the Almighty, shows to the believers. But people do not appreciate this. They lead a worthless life. May Allah keep us on the right path. May Allah reward us according to our intentions, insha'Allah.

Undoubtedly, on both Eid days, Allah the Almighty looks upon the earth with His mercy. To receive this merciful gaze, go to the mosque so that you too may partake in this grace. While Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, sees everything, this particular merciful gaze is something else entirely. This merciful gaze is a very special manifestation of His grace. Therefore, people should definitely go to the Eid prayer to attain this merciful gaze. There used to be people who, even if they didn't perform all the daily prayers, at least came to the Friday prayer. That is, there were people who only prayed from Friday to Friday. Then this changed, and people only went to prayer from Eid to Eid. But even when it was only from Eid to Eid, ninety percent of the people still went to prayer. Today, unfortunately, even that is no longer the case. May Allah improve the situation. But nothing is lost from Allah's treasury. What diminishes is the mercy, the blessing, and the grace that is meant for mankind. People bear the consequences of their own actions. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: In the Eid prayer, seven Takbirs are recited in the first Rak'ah and five in the second. In both Rak'ahs, the recitation of the Quran follows these additional Takbirs. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) explains here the special Takbirs of the Eid prayer. So, in both the first and second Rak'ahs, there are these additional Takbirs. As you can see, the performance of the Eid prayer differs from other prayers. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: "Adorn your festivals with the Takbir." The more Takbirs you recite, the more Allah increases your reward. That is, adorning the festivals with Takbir, Tahlil, and communal celebration serves to attain the blessings of this day. In Islam, there are two festivals. One is Eid al-Adha, the other is Eid al-Fitr. Besides these, there are no other festivals. But people have declared every day a festival. As the saying goes: "Every day is a holiday for a fool." And truly, it seems as if they have lost their minds. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: "Adorn the two festivals with Tahlil, Takbir, Tahmid, and Taqdis." This way, your festivals will not be spiritually empty. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says that the two Eid prayers—as already mentioned, there are only these two festivals in Islam— are obligatory for every man and woman who has reached the age of religious accountability. This ruling applies according to the Hanafi school of law. Here, of course, an important point must be mentioned: It is not right to simply read a Hadith, say "it is written in the Hadith," and act directly upon it without considering the interpretations of the schools of law. Everyone should follow the judgment of the school of law to which he or she belongs. The Hadiths, of course, belong to the entire Ummah. But to derive independent judgments from them, one must possess the ability of Ijtihad. In our time, however, there is no such Mujtahid anymore. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) once said: "On your day today, two festivals have coincided, namely the festival prayer and the Friday prayer." On the day he spoke this Hadith, exactly such a situation had occurred. For those who travel from afar, from the villages for example, there is a concession: Whoever wishes can perform the midday prayer instead of the Friday prayer. Performing the Eid prayer thus releases them from the obligation of the Friday prayer. That is, our Prophet (peace be upon him) explained that for those who have performed the Eid prayer, the obligation for the Friday prayer is waived. Of course, this refers to the special circumstances of that day. As already stated, everyone should adhere to the interpretation of their own school of law. One should act as prescribed by the legal doctrine. Our Prophet (peace be upon him), however, said of himself: "We will, Allah willing, also perform the Friday prayer." He performed both the Eid prayer and announced that he would also perform the Friday prayer. That is, he did not omit the Friday prayer just because it was a festival day and he had already performed the Eid prayer. He only allowed those to leave who had a valid reason. "But we," said the Prophet (peace be upon him), "will also perform the Friday prayer with its sermon." So we see that our Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us all the commandments of the religion down to the smallest detail. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says in a Hadith that the two Eid prayers are obligatory for every woman who has reached puberty. Of course, this ruling is also interpreted differently depending on the school of law. This Hadith, which I will now present, describes exactly the state of our time. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: When Allah intends to send drought and dryness upon a people, an angel calls down from heaven: "O stomachs, expand so that you are never full!" "O eyes, never see your fill!" This describes our time most accurately. "O blessing, depart from their midst and ascend!" he calls. This Hadith describes exactly the end times in which we find ourselves. Neither blessing has remained, nor water, nor anything else. Drought reigns everywhere. Not to mention the fires that are raging everywhere. This condition prevails not only in our country but all over the world. This is a calamity that has befallen all of humanity. But why? Because people's faith in Allah is no longer sincere. And therefore Allah is angry with them. However, if they were to repent and ask for forgiveness, Allah would grant them His blessings again. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: "When fornication appears and spreads among a people, earthquakes increase." Fornication here encompasses all kinds of immorality and shamelessness. When these immoralities prevail, earthquakes and tremors occur everywhere. When the rulers steal, the rain stays away. When the promises to the Dhimmis—that is, the non-Muslims under Islamic rule—are broken, they are attacked by enemies. This is the advice of our Prophet to his Ummah: "If you want to live in peace and tranquility, avoid these sins." Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: Five things are followed by five consequences. That is, every action has a consequence, which is clearly visible nowadays. If a people breaks its covenant, Allah will certainly cause it to be afflicted by an enemy. That is, whoever breaks their covenant and makes promises without keeping them, Allah sends them an enemy as a plague. Where judgments are made other than what Allah has sent down, poverty spreads. Peoples who act against Allah's commandments are tested with poverty. When fornication is widespread among them, deaths increase. When they cheat in weights and measures, the blessing of the earth is taken from them, and they are punished with drought. Even if merchants who cheat believe they are making a profit, they are actually causing drought and crop failures. If they refuse to pay Zakat, they are also withheld rain. That's how important Zakat is. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) narrates that your Lord, Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, says: "If My servants obey Me, I will make it rain for them at night and shine the sun during the day." That is, it will rain all night and the sun will shine during the day. "And so that they do not fear, I will not even let them hear the thunder," He says. That is, while the merciful rain falls, there will be no frightening sound; it will be so peaceful. It will rain silently and without thunder at night. When they wake up in the morning, everything is watered and green. This good news is for the servants who obey the commandments of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: Every nation in which the practice of usury is widespread will inevitably be afflicted by the misfortune of drought. Every nation in which bribery is widespread lives in constant fear and insecurity. That is, in nations where usury and bribery are commonplace, there will always be poverty and fear. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) says: "The Sultan is Allah's shadow on earth; the oppressed seek refuge with him." The Sultan, or ruler, has the duty to protect the oppressed on Earth. The expression "Allah's shadow" is a metaphor for the ruler implementing Allah's commandments and reflecting His justice. Therefore, one must obey a just ruler. If the ruler acts justly, he will receive his reward, and the people he rules should be grateful to him. But if the ruler commits injustice and oppresses, the sin falls back on him alone, and Allah will hold him accountable. But what should the people ruled by him do in this case? They should not rebel against him. According to the Hadith, they must be patient. One must not rise up against the ruler. Even if the ruler is a tyrant, the principle is not to rebel, but to be patient, so as not to cause discord. If the rulers do wrong, Heaven withdraws its mercy, meaning the rain. If the Zakat is not paid, the animals perish. If fornication is widespread, poverty and hardship increase. If the treaties with the Dhimmis, the non-Muslims, are broken, enemies gain the upper hand over the Muslims. Unfortunately, this is exactly what is happening nowadays. May Allah improve our situation. May Allah keep us on the right path, Insha'Allah.

Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, commands us to do good. He commands us to be just. He commands us to be perfectly kind. To help us follow these commandments, He sent prophets. He commands: "Follow their path." They are the ones who guide us. Allah commands: "To them We have given Prophethood and the Book." For with every prophet who came as a messenger, a book was revealed. Books like the Noble Quran were revealed. However, nothing of those earlier books remains in their original form; only the Noble Quran remains uncorrupted to this day. "We also gave the prophets wisdom," commands Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. And wisdom is of utmost importance. For knowledge without wisdom is useless. Therefore, follow the prophets. Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, commands: "Follow their guidance." How could we fulfill Allah's commandments without following the prophets? Naturally, by following the path they have shown us. The final book is the Noble Quran, which was revealed to our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. We too must follow this path that He has shown us. Allah commands: "Follow the Prophet." Do not act according to your own whims. Whatever our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has shown and taught us, follow that. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after me." This Sunnah is crucial. Following this path is essential. Whoever disregards the Sunnah not only gains nothing but rather suffers great losses. The worst loss, however, is that of faith, may Allah protect us from it. This path is the one our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has shown us at Allah's command. Now there are some ignorant people who claim: "We recognize neither Sunnah nor Hadith." Thus, they are on the wrong path from the very beginning. Their efforts are completely in vain. Such an attitude ultimately leads to them departing this world without faith. Adhering to the Sunnah and the words of our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, elevates our rank with Allah and ensures a good end for us. May Allah not let us stray from this path, Insha'Allah. Let us follow their path, Insha'Allah.

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, teaches us: Once the believers enter Paradise and drink from the Prophet's basin (Al-Kawthar), they will be completely freed from all worldly and selfish desires. In Paradise, there are no worries, no pride, and no animosity. One enters Paradise pure and flawless. There will be no trace of the worries and sorrows of this world. However, there will be one thing that the believers in Paradise will feel a kind of regret about. And this, even though there is actually no sadness in Paradise. They will regret the hours on Earth they spent without remembering Allah. They will say to themselves: "If only we had used even this one moment for the remembrance of Allah!" Because when they see the immeasurable gifts there, the Paradise promised by Allah, His majestic beauty, they will realize: "How little we did for it." They will feel remorse for those moments when they did not remember Allah. Thanks be to Allah, Zikr means remembrance, to remember Him. So the greatest blessing lies in remembering Allah amidst all one's worldly tasks and affairs. You may be busy with worldly things, that's part of life. But if you remember Allah even then, He will ease your path. He will grant you relief in this world and elevate your rank in the Hereafter. When a person suffers in this world, their only refuge is Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. Those who do not know Him are in constant distress. And they have spread their distress throughout the world. Today, believers, Muslims and non-Muslims, are all in the same state. Their worries revolve solely around the world, and the one they have forgotten is Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. Remembering Allah means remembering Him and reflecting on His creation. Everything that reminds one of Allah is necessary and invaluable for the believer. Remembering the friends of God, the Prophets, and the Companions – therein lies the greatest benefit. Because Satan knows this, he whispers doubts to those who perform these good deeds: "This is Shirk, you are doing wrong!" Yet, everything that reminds one of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, is beneficial for the believer. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "People who remind you of Allah are good people." "Treat them with generosity and honor them," the Prophet teaches. You will not be reminded of Allah by every person you meet. You will not be reminded of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, by everything you hear. But when you hear from the friends of God, the Companions, and the sincere believers, then you remember. That is precisely why honoring and respecting them is one of the principles (Adab) of our Tariqa. Whoever respects the etiquette of the path, to them the path will reveal its beauty. May Allah preserve you all on this wonderful path, Insha'Allah. May He guide humanity.

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثۡنَا عَشَرَ شَهۡرٗا فِي كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ (9:36) Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, has divided the year into twelve months. The last of these sacred Haram months was Muharram. Yesterday was its last day. Now follows the month of Safar – an ordinary month. It is not one of the sacred Haram months. The sacred Haram months are especially distinguished from other months. The month of Safar can be stressful for some people. Therefore, it is especially important to give alms during this time. Sadaqa – voluntary charity – protects against misfortunes, prevents calamities, and prolongs life. In every situation, in every hardship, giving Sadaqa helps to ease things. It protects us from evil. It protects us from bad events. Therefore, in the month of Safar, every person should give their Sadaqa daily. They should repent and ask for forgiveness. And they should earnestly ask Allah to protect them. For ultimately, what Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, has decreed will always happen. The wisdom behind His decisions lies solely with Him. He does what He wills. No one can resist Him. But He is merciful and gracious to us. Our repentance, our request for forgiveness, and our alms can – with Allah's permission – avert disasters. Allah does what He wills: If He wills it, it happens – if He wills it, He changes it. But fate is known only to Allah – our understanding does not reach that far. What we can understand, however, is this: Many people are afraid of the month of Safar. But there is nothing to be afraid of. Give your Sadaqa, repent, fulfill your daily duties. The specific religious practices for the month of Safar will be announced accordingly. When you have done what is required, trust in Allah, fulfill your obligations – and do not be afraid, with His permission. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Safar al-Khayr - Safar is a month of good." "Interpret everything for the good – then it will be good." Today, many people worry unnecessarily. "What if this happens? What if that happens?" These very fears and doubts have caused the so-called "panic attacks." People today live in constant fear. A loud noise – and they threaten to collapse from fright. But trust in Allah – Tawakkul – is a fundamental characteristic of a true believer. Follow the path that Allah has shown you – and do not be afraid. Trust in Allah. He will protect you. The most important thing is that our faith is preserved. Everything else is secondary. But with Allah's permission, you will always be under His protection – Insha'Allah.
