Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

أَنَّمَآ أَمۡوَٰلُكُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدُكُمۡ فِتۡنَةٞ (8:28) Allah Almighty says: "Your wealth, possessions, and children are a test for you." This test is about using them correctly or raising them properly so that they become acceptable people in Allah's sight and benefit you as well. It will benefit you too. People love their children very much, but of course, loving children and disciplining them are different things. Some people justify or accept whatever a child does, and say nothing about it. However, some discipline is necessary because everyone has their desires. The way you raise them is how they will grow, develop, and become good people. If you don't look after your child, someone else will raise them in your place, and they will grow up badly. How should we raise them? You will educate children with the love of Allah Almighty and our Prophet, to fulfill their commands. Our Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Teach children to pray after the age of seven." Of course, when they are younger, at one or two years old, if their family prays, the child will admire them and try to do like them. Until the age of seven, because children have not reached maturity, their sins are not counted in Allah's sight. They are sinless; children are innocent. We need to teach them religion gradually. At seven years old, you will say "pray." After ten years old, you will supervise more strictly to ensure they pray. Now we are in the blessed month of Ramadan. The same applies to fasting. When you fast, children will say "let us fast too." In the past, they would fast for half a day. Sometimes they would fast every other day. We need to encourage them. We need to make them love fasting. People nowadays say, "Pamper the baby" to the child. "Make sure they don't get hungry, let's feed them right away, give them something to drink, give them whatever they want. As you command, sir. Your servant is here, serving you." This is how you're raising them. Then people are surprised when they grow up. Even after they reach maturity, even after 14-15 years old, they don't want them to fast, saying "they are still young, they'll fast later." However, after reaching maturity, deliberately breaking the fast becomes a major sin. Abandoning fasting and prayer is considered a major sin. Not a minor sin, but a major sin. They cannot replace that virtue with anything else. You are showing mercy to your child, your daughter here. It's not mercy; you are oppressing them. You are depriving them of so many rewards. You are depriving them of those rewards. "Today there is an exam. The child shouldn't fast; otherwise, they won't be able to do well in their lessons." The lesson they do has no benefit either. Even if they do something, it will be of no use. If they don't, it's the same. On the contrary, Allah helps children who are on Allah's path, fasting and praying. Allah definitely helps them even more. That's why today's people don't know how to discipline. Families don't know how to discipline their children. They give the child a device, a phone, saying, "Study your lessons with this." The child says, "What lesson?" Terrible things appear, Satan is everywhere. While studying, all sorts of harmful things appear, confusing their mind. It thoroughly confuses them and corrupts their morals. We live for religion. We need to raise our children for religion too. This discipline should be based on Islamic discipline. Without pressuring or overwhelming them, but on some points, it's necessary to stand firm. The month of Ramadan is blessed. Encourage children to fast. Don't prevent those who want to fast. Don't prevent those who want to fast. The most important thing is that after reaching maturity, if they break their fast, there is atonement. Not just making up the fast, but atonement is required, and then they need to make up the missed fasts. Then they need to make up the missed fasts. This is very important. Allah gave us our lives to worship Him. We shouldn't waste it. May Allah give people understanding to learn. Learning is not shameful. People learn. There is no end to knowledge. There is no end to learning. Every day a person can learn something new. Therefore, be careful. The month of Ramadan is still in its beginning. Let the children be happy. These days, fasting isn't very long anyway. Let them do as much as they can. May Allah elevate her station - Haji Anne, when we were little, she would "buy" our fasts. The old people had nice customs. She would give us some money, saying, "I'll buy your fast for each day." Encourage children nicely with all kinds of gifts and rewards. The iftar table and suhoor are already a nice joy and change for children. With the blessing of Ramadan, insha'Allah, may virtuous generations be raised. We hear, may Allah protect us, that children have lost their faith, leaving religion is very common. But everything done for Allah, Allah certainly protects. May Allah protect us from the evil of devils, the wicked, and the deviant, insha'Allah. Everywhere is filled with deviance. They portray deviance as if it's something good. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from the evil of Satan.

وَلَا عَلَى ٱلۡمَرِيضِ حَرَجٞ (24:61) Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, grants permission to those who are ill. What is this permission for? A sick person may perform their prayers while sitting. If someone is ill and cannot fast, there is also an exemption for this. For missed fasts, they can provide Fidya. Today, many people suffer from various health conditions. Fasting can actually benefit some people with certain illnesses. صوموا تصحوا وترزقوا Our Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, said: "Fast so that you may become healthy." However, there are health conditions for which fasting is truly not appropriate. Because if these individuals were to fast, their bodies could suffer even greater harm. For these people, there is an exemption. Indeed, fasting is such a beautiful form of worship that someone who practices it becomes very sad when they must say: "I couldn't fast." Therefore, it's better to accept the exemption when one is unable to fast. That is, if fasting would harm one's body, one should not fast. But there are some conditions... Doctors sometimes say at their own discretion: "You must not fast." However, if it doesn't harm the body, fasting can actually benefit the sick with Allah's permission. But as mentioned, there are situations where a person's already compromised health, such as those with kidney disease whose organs function at limited capacity, requires special consideration. If they go without water, their condition deteriorates significantly. In this case, there is an exemption. Now, some people have diabetes, some at a very advanced stage. For others, however, fasting can be quite beneficial. So one must evaluate according to one's own physical condition. If one can fast, one should fast. If one cannot, there is again an exemption. But if Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, has blessed you with a healthy body, don't give up because of minor discomforts. Don't break your fast. Some get the flu, colds... And they break their fast. You don't need to break your fast because of such minor issues. But as mentioned, if serious health situations arise, you are entitled to the exemption. Allah has given this beautiful form of worship for both the physical and spiritual benefit of people. It benefits both our body and our soul. Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, is the one who created us. He knows us better than we know ourselves, He is Allah, the Mighty and Exalted. Therefore, may Allah grant us all a life filled with goodness and fasting until the end of our days, insha'Allah. May He not take away from us the opportunity to practice this beautiful form of worship. May He not cause us to abandon it. As mentioned, only if we become ill and our health is at risk are we permitted to abstain. Therefore, may Allah grant us both health and well-being, and enable us to continue this beautiful form of worship until the end of our lives, insha'Allah. And all other forms of worship as well, insha'Allah.

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذ۪ٓي اُنْزِلَ ف۪يهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدٰى وَالْفُرْقَانِۚ (2:185) In the Holy Quran, Allah the Exalted praises the month of Ramadan. A month in which the Quran was revealed, full of blessings. It is a month of guidance. It is a month of blessing for Muslims and for all people. Allah the Exalted says: "It is a month of guidance." Our Prophet describes Ramadan as a "blessed month." The good deeds, charitable acts, and worship performed in this month bring a hundred to seven hundred or even eight hundred times more reward. Allah the Exalted gives, without letting anyone know, as much as He wants, but at least a hundred times more than in other months. It is more valuable than other months. For this reason, although Zakat can be given at any time, if you give it during Ramadan, you receive more reward, and you don't forget when you gave it. You can give Zakat at any time of the year, but since this month is especially blessed, the calculation doesn't get confused. You don't have to think: "Did I give in this or that month?" but simply give from Ramadan to Ramadan. By giving Zakat, your wealth does not decrease. Through Zakat, your wealth even increases. Don't think: "I'll take something unlawful and profit from it" – you will not profit from it. Because it is no longer yours. After a year has passed, everyone who possesses the Nisab amount, meaning sufficient wealth, must pay Zakat. Whoever doesn't pay violates the rights of others. Let's imagine, for example, a tree that grows into a mighty tree. Suppose we say: "Let's not prune this tree." We let it grow hoping: "It should bear many fruits." But if you don't prune it, the fruits will remain small. Or they will be of poor quality. If you prune it, perhaps only half of the large tree remains. But the fruits it then bears will be more beautiful and better. They are easier to harvest. In fact, it then even bears more fruits. People think: "If I prune the tree, I will lose a lot." But you get less yield if you don't prune it. Because of the thorns, you cannot reach into the crown. You cannot properly use the tree. Zakat works the same way. It increases wealth and blesses it. Because you gain the pleasure of Allah and our Prophet. And you give the poor and needy what is due to them. Therefore, one must realize that people should overcome their ego. One should not be ruled by the ego. One should not be deceived by the ego. One should not fall for Satan's whispers. Satan and the ego say: "You will give away so much money. How will you ever get it back?" Forget about getting it back. "You lose," it whispers. "You suffer such a great loss." "You give so many thousand Lira," which seems like a huge sum to people. Yet Allah the Exalted has given it to you so that you may give from it and experience blessing. If you don't give, then Allah takes it from you or reduces your wealth elsewhere. May Allah protect us from that. If you don't give, your wealth will not only not increase, but even decrease. The loss then comes from elsewhere. It will then cost you tenfold. May Allah protect us from that. People don't pay attention to this. When they are in difficulty, in need, they spend money without hesitation. But when things are good for them and it's about Allah's command, they postpone it: "I'll give it now, I'll give it later," and time passes. They excuse themselves with: "We forgot." One must pay attention to this. In this Ramadan, everyone fasts. Everyone prays. Naturally, there are also many people who don't pray and don't fast, but that's not the point. The point is: Even among those who fast, many find it difficult to give Zakat. Scholars, Imams, Sheikhs, Hajjis, Hodjas... Even for them, it is often difficult. One cannot claim that one hundred percent of them pay Zakat. One must overcome one's ego to give. May Allah give us the strength, may we all give together, insha'Allah. May we not succumb to our ego, insha'Allah.

Today is the blessed Juma. It is considered the blessed eve of the month of Ramadan. They have announced tomorrow as the first day of Ramadan. One should sight the crescent moon to determine Ramadan, but people don't even know where it rises and where it sets. Therefore, whatever the government declares, by following the authority, insha'Allah, this blessed month begins from this evening. Tarawih prayers will be performed, and tomorrow will be the first day. Ramadan is a very important month, a month bestowed upon us by Almighty Allah, the Exalted. This month should be spent with fasting, prayer, zakat, and charity, because on ordinary days when you give charity or do a good deed, Allah writes 10 rewards for you. In Ramadan, it multiplies to 100, even more than 100, up to 800, perhaps even more. The generosity of Allah, the Exalted, is unlimited, His bounty is endless. Not like the people of our time. It cannot even be compared, I seek refuge in Allah. I repent and seek forgiveness from Allah. Therefore, do as much good as you wish to do. Zakat can be paid at any time of the year you wish, but if you pay it in Ramadan, instead of normally receiving 10 rewards, you will receive 700 or 800 rewards. Thus, you will gain more blessings. And you won't confuse the timing. Otherwise, it will certainly become confusing. For this reason, it is more virtuous to give zakat from one Ramadan to the next, and Allah the Exalted will grant you greater rewards. The same applies to prayer. Now they are introducing new styles for Tarawih. They are trying to find ways to shorten the prayer, to avoid prayer. Whereas people are accustomed to praying properly. Now because they shortened it in Kaaba, in Medina, some people will say "this is an opportunity" and will issue fatwas that suit them to perform Tarawih prayer with fewer than 20 rakats. However, one should benefit from this blessed opportunity. Wherever there is good, one should benefit from Allah's blessings as Ramadan is the month of blessings, rewards, and beauty. Don't waste it or spend it in vain. As we said, however much charity, good deeds, and worship you perform, you will see them in your book of deeds in the hereafter. You will say, all praise to Allah, we have done these righteous deeds. We didn't fall for these misleading directions, nor did we follow those who tried to prevent people from performing acts of worship. You will thank Allah, the Exalted, in the hereafter. May Allah bless it, may it be beneficial, insha'Allah. May Allah make it a means of guidance, insha'Allah. May there be help for Islam and guidance for Muslims, insha'Allah.

Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. (3:19) Say, 'If you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins.' (3:31) The religion is Islam. The religion that Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, sent to mankind is Islam. This is realized by following the path of our Prophet, peace be upon him. Following the path of our Prophet, peace be upon him, means obeying Allah's commands. Deviating from it is disobedience to Allah, it is resistance against Allah. Therefore, praise be to Allah. A Muslim follows the path of our Prophet, peace be upon him. How does he follow him? He performs all acts of worship - prayer, fasting, charity, pilgrimage - as our Prophet, peace be upon him, showed. How does this happen? As the Companions taught, and after them there are the Imams. The Imams of the jurisprudential schools (Madhhabs), the sheikhs, the scholars, and of course the Tariqas. Following their path is an obligation for us. Whoever does not do this deviates from the path and errs by their own judgment. For there were 124,000 Companions. You could follow any of them, but their paths have not been transmitted. For after the death of each, that path was closed; the paths that remain open are known. We must follow the path shown to us by the jurisprudential school. Leaving the jurisprudential school brings confusion to people. It leads away from the right path. When do the jurisprudential schools end? When the absolute Mujtahid, the Mahdi, peace be upon him, comes, he will unite all the jurisprudential schools and the Tariqas. For he is the heir of Muhammad, peace be upon him; he is the person our Prophet, peace be upon him, foretold and promised. Aside from that, it is not possible in our time. Before him, you cannot abolish these orders. For people would only be confused. Everything would be in disorder. That is not possible. Therefore, this path is open; it must be practiced as taught. Some people say with good intentions: 'We will follow all,' but that only causes difficulties. We can barely follow one completely; how do you expect to know and follow all? Therefore, our Tariqa path is open and clear. It corresponds to the Sharia; outside the Sharia, there is nothing. If you stand up and say: 'I will lead the prayer,' and then create chaos, this prayer will not be accepted. Nothing will be accepted. If you do not follow the basic rules. Therefore, people in the Tariqa will follow the Sharia and adhere to the commandments of the Sharia as best as possible. For what they cannot do or where mistakes happen, you should say: 'May Allah forgive, but we are on this path' and have this intention. Do not say: 'There is no Tariqa, no jurisprudential school.' No harm comes from them. They only bring benefit. Harm comes from lawlessness, abandoning the jurisprudential school, not recognizing the jurisprudential school; that harms people. Islam is never harmed. If someone is harmed, it is the person who does not follow Islam but acts according to their own whims and the desires of their ego. Nowadays, many people appear and speak here and there. People are utterly confused. Therefore, you should be careful and learn from real sheikhs, scholars, and masters and follow what they say. They are, thank Allah, people who follow the Sharia and the Tariqa. May Allah not lead us astray. We live in the end times. There is much discord, may Allah protect us all.

Our Prophet, peace be upon him, says that one of the deeds most loved by Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, is to bring joy to the heart of a believer: Bringing joy to the heart of a believer To bring joy to the heart of a believer, to make him happy. This is one of the good deeds most loved by Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. Thanks to Allah, we also do what is within our power, insha'Allah. This journey took about three weeks. Thanks to Allah, it has gone as Allah wanted, insha'Allah. For they have rejoiced, and their hearts have been lightened. The burdens of this world only become lighter when you are with good people and in beautiful communities. When you sink into the world, however, you go deeper into darkness, the heart darkens, worries increase. To get rid of worries, you must do what Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, commands and loves. Bringing joy and happiness to the heart of a believer benefits everyone. Allah is pleased with it. It also brings relief to one's own heart. It grants goodness to oneself. The state of the world is known, it is obvious. What Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, communicates and commands to people serves their benefit. If they do not follow these commands, they will not only gain no benefit and will have lived in vain, but will also live in worry. In the Hereafter, they will have even greater worries. May Allah protect us from that. As Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has said, Ramadan is now approaching, and in this blessed month relief is found. Ramadan is a month of relief. Allah has gifted it to us, the community of Muhammad. It is the month of the community of Muhammad. It is the month of our Prophet’s community. In this month, there will be relief, insha'Allah. As much as we can, we should bring relief, that is, we should bring joy. To bring joy to a believer, you don't necessarily have to give money or do material things; you can also delight with kind words, you can also bring joy by considering their well-being. There are countless ways to bring joy to a person. May Allah help us so that our hearts also become lighter, by not hurting each other but by giving each other beauty and goodness. May the hearts of the believers also find relief, insha'Allah. May everything happen according to Allah’s will, insha'Allah.

Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful (Surah 2: Verse 173) May Allah forgive us all, insha'Allah. We thank Allah. He is the Forgiver. This is one of the greatest blessings for all of us, and we should be grateful for it. No matter how much wrong people do or how many sins they commit, Allah forgives. This is of great importance. If he did not forgive, our situation would be very difficult. But Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has made it easy for us. "Repent", he says. "I will accept your repentance", says Allah, the Exalted. The world is constantly filled with the sins of people. And if sin is not cleansed, it is the greatest impurity. And Allah, the Exalted, forgives out of his mercy everything you do. But you must ask for forgiveness. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful. Thus speaks Allah, the Exalted. (Surah 39: Verse 53) In the past, there were also sins in the world, but today there are significantly more. Sin and evil have become more ubiquitous. So that people may fare well, Allah, the Exalted, forgives. If he did not forgive, the world would be uninhabitable. Allah, the Exalted, would not even grant a drop of water. This is crucial and also serves people themselves. When one is cleansed of sins, this burden disappears, and one feels liberated. The more sins one commits, the heavier the burden becomes. So much darkness and evil come upon a person. The person finds no peace. With sins, one cannot find inner peace. One becomes more anxious, restless, and unhappy. Therefore, we should not leave this wonderful opportunity, given by Allah, unused. Through constant repentance and asking for forgiveness, Allah erases all our sins, whether committed consciously or unconsciously. May Allah forgive us all. Ramadan is approaching, may it be blessed. Insha'Allah, may it be blessed. It is the month of forgiveness and repentance. Insha'Allah, may it be a blessing for us all.

Alhamdu lillah, Allah Azza wa Jalla has given us this opportunity to gather here once again. Alhamdu lillah, we have experienced blessed days during this special month of Sha'ban, and we are gathered here solely for the sake of Allah Azza wa Jalla. Allah Azza wa Jalla is pleased with our gathering. This is the most essential aspect of a Muslim's life, the true meaning of our existence. This gathering is not about traveling for sightseeing or to satisfy the desires of your nafs. No, alhamdu lillah, many people, believers, Muslims, mu'mineen came here solely for the sake of Allah Azza wa Jalla. May Allah Azza wa Jalla bless them and increase their iman, insha'Allah. May He grant them true happiness, which comes from being close to Allah Azza wa Jalla, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the awliya'ullah, and the mashaykh. This is genuine sa'adah (happiness). Insha'Allah, may Allah Azza wa Jalla accept your ibadah, your efforts, everything you have done for His sake, and your niyyah (intentions). We are nothing, we are here only representing Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Once, he mentioned while traveling from Cyprus to London. I was there at that time, perhaps about 40 years ago. He referred to me as "qa'im maqam," which means someone standing in his place. Therefore, we are nothing compared to Mawlana Shaykh; the mashaykh have put us here to bring you joy. Insha'Allah, may Allah Azza wa Jalla bless them, their himmat, and their presence to remain with us. This connection is very significant. Alhamdu lillah, we are pleased with you because the mashaykh are pleased with you. And insha'Allah, if Allah Azza wa Jalla permits, we shall return again and again. However, alhamdu lillah, we are also hoping that Sayyidina Mahdi appears this year. When that happens, it will bring even greater barakah and blessings for us all. This is our niyyah and our greatest hope, insha'Allah. Because this year may also be Hajjul Akbar, about which Mawlana Shaykh used to say that Sayyidina Mahdi is most likely to appear in the year of Hajjul Akbar. Although he could appear in any year, this year has a greater possibility for Sayyidina Mahdi, alayhi s-salam. So we hope, insha'Allah, to return next year in his company, not by airplane or other means. Insha'Allah, because the world has fallen into hopelessness. There is no hope to be found in technology, power, or dunya matters. These things do not bring happiness to humanity, but instead cause misery, sadness, and harm. The greatest blessing that will bring happiness to the entire world is the arrival of Sayyidina Mahdi, alayhi s-salam. Insha'Allah, we ask Allah Azza wa Jalla, we pray to Him, and make du'a to Him to send Mahdi soon. Alhamdu lillah, may Allah Azza wa Jalla make you a source of hidayah for all people.

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) taught us, "Whatever I love, you should love, and whatever I dislike, you should dislike." This is what the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said. He expressed that ṣalāh was what he cherished most. This was evident in how he lived his entire life. As we know: إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ كَانَتۡ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ كِتَٰبٗا مَّوۡقُوتٗا (4:103) For the muʾminīn, ṣalāh is prescribed at specific times. The farḍ prayers each have their designated times. For nāfilah prayers, you're free to pray anytime except during sunrise and sunset. In our madhhab and ṭarīqah, we regularly perform nafl and sunnah prayers before each of the daily prayers - fajr, zuhr, asr, maghrib, and isha. This is a practice everyone agrees upon. Unfortunately, many people these days skip both the sunnah and nafl prayers. They've stopped caring about night prayers and other additional acts of worship. Allah Azza wa Jalla blessed the Prophet's ummah with these opportunities for extra worship, yet people overlook them. These days, people tend to rush through just the farḍ and sunnah prayers before hurrying away. This pattern might eventually lead them to abandon even the farḍ prayers. When you start neglecting the small things, you'll eventually overlook the important ones too. Alhamdulillah, Ramaḍān begins next week, in just five or six days. There's a particularly significant sunnah that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) established: ṣalāt al-tarāwīḥ, consisting of 20 rakʿah performed between ṣalāt al-ʿishāʾ and ṣalāt al-witr. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) led tarāwīḥ in jamāʿah once or twice, but typically performed it in his blessed home. He chose not to make it farḍ to avoid burdening his ummah. After his passing, people continued this beautiful tradition. Sometimes they would offer more than 30 rakʿah, other times 28 rakʿah. Eventually, the practice settled at 20 rakʿah, which has remained the standard for hundreds of years. This tradition continued unchanged until the past century, when people began reducing the number of rakʿah. While the imam still leads 20 rakʿah, In Arab countries, when I was in Syria or Lebanon, I saw the imāms pray 20 rak'ah. However, many would leave after just 8 rakʿah. They would complete the witr prayer and depart. Those who wanted to complete all 20 rakʿah would remain with the imam. But now I'm hearing that they've officially reduced it to just 8 rakʿah instead of the traditional 20. While this isn't technically wrong, Since it's voluntary, you can pray as many rakʿah as you wish. The real issue is that people are beginning to think that 8 rakʿah is the actual sunnah for tarāwīḥ. Eventually, even this practice might lose its significance. Remember, during Ramaḍān, the reward for any good deed is multiplied anywhere from 100 to 700 times. By reducing the prayers, they're depriving people of these abundant blessings and rewards, yet they seem unconcerned. This only encourages people, who are already reluctant to worship, to become even more distant from Allah by avoiding nafl prayers. ʿabdī yataqarrabu ilayya bin-nawāfili Allah Azza wa Jalla tells us, "My servants come closer to Me through nafl and sunnah acts." The more of these acts of worship you perform, the closer you draw to Allah Azza wa Jalla. Shayṭān works to convince people to reduce their ʿibādah and instead focus on worldly pleasures. May Allah guide us all. The ṭarīqah is essential for this purpose, insha'Allah. It serves the vital role of benefiting both muslimīn and all of humanity. The ṭarīqah plays a crucial role in showing the right path, encouraging more ʿibādah, bringing people closer to Allah Azza wa Jalla, and protecting them from shayṭān. May Allah help us and guide these people back to the way of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). May they do whatever they can manage, insha'Allah. It's much easier when prayers are performed in jamāʿah. Some find it challenging to maintain these prayers alone at home. But in the special atmosphere of Ramaḍān, with takbīr and ṣalawāt after every 2 or 4 rakʿah, everyone experiences the joy of communal worship. Even the children enjoy participating in the ṣalawāt and takbīr. It is a very good atmosphere. Yet some wish to end this atmosphere. May Allah protect us from their evil, insha'Allah.

عَلَّمَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡؕ‏ (96:5) Allah, Exalted and Majestic, gave all knowledge to humankind. He taught them what they did not know. He showed them what they were unaware of. This knowledge comes from Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. All knowledge has come from Allah since the time of Adam, peace be upon him. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, gave all knowledge to Prophet Adam, peace be upon him. The angels wondered about humankind, foreseeing that they would harm one another and commit evil deeds. They questioned why Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, created this creature. Then Allah commanded Adam, peace be upon him, to demonstrate his knowledge to them. So he spoke of everything. Allah taught Adam the names of all things (2:31) - meaning He taught him complete knowledge of everything. When the angels heard this, they said "Subhanaka, glory be to You, Allah, the Greatest." "We were wrong to question this." Thus, Allah sent all essential knowledge to humankind through Adam, peace be upon him. And from him, it has gradually come down to our time. Even then, Adam knew all of this. Today, people are proud of technology and give it fancy names. But Adam, peace be upon him, possessed all this knowledge, and it has emerged gradually among humanity over time. So don't be amazed by these small achievements - that you can speak across distances, that they can fly, or travel underground. Don't wonder at these things. Instead, say "Subhanallah", for these are the gifts Allah gave to humanity, appearing in their appointed time. Not long ago, even fifty years ago, things were very different from now. A computer once filled a space as large as this mosque, but now you can hold all that knowledge in your hand. All this is from Allah. What seems great now will become obsolete when Mahdi, peace be upon him, comes, replaced by different knowledge and technology. Allah is the Greatest. He teaches everyone - whether they believe in Him or not, whether they are atheists or believers, it makes no difference. All knowledge comes from Him, whether through those who know Him or those who don't. Some think they discovered these things by themselves, but all knowledge comes from Allah. May He grant us the knowledge to know Him, for this is the most important thing, insha'Allah.
