Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs. (39:62) Adab is the most important teaching of the Tariqa. Whoever enters the Tariqa learns adab. To whom is adab due first and foremost? To Allah, the Exalted and Majestic! Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, is the Creator of all things. It is He who gives life to everything and everyone: to people, animals, all creatures. The entire universe was created by His power. Everything belongs to Him. Al-mulku lillah. The owner of all dominion is Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. Therefore, good adab in the Tariqa means acknowledging that everything that happens comes from Allah. Not to contradict Him. Contradiction is the work of the devil. And those who follow his path also contradict. They contradict everything. The good as well as the bad. Nothing is right for them. They contradict everything. Some even interfere in Allah's affairs. Those who do not follow the Tariqa ask: "How can Allah allow so much oppression, why doesn't He do anything about it?" The world is not a paradise. The world is a place of testing. Tests are the course of things in this world. Everything possible will happen, may Allah protect us. The believer pleads with Allah that He may protect him. There is no other way. You can contradict as much as you want. What is destined for you can only be averted through Allah's mercy; you should pray that Allah protects you. Opposing Allah brings nothing. Do not trust that "this one will do better" or "that one will do worse". Trust only in Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. It is Allah's power and His decree. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, does everything. It is Allah who has the power over everything. He makes the difficult easy. Allah protects from every kind of evil. It is Allah who does everything - that is the basis of the Tariqa. Those who do not follow the Tariqa, even if they are Muslims, contradict Allah. They do this and that. But it is of no use. Therefore, you must accept what Allah has decreed. With adab, you should plead to Allah. We are weak servants. Do not test us, O Allah! This is a world of testing. Treat us with Your grace and kindness. Make the tests and difficulties easy. May we not have tests, O Allah! That is what we should pray for, inshaAllah. May Allah help us all.

This night is a blessed night. May Allah the Exalted grant us the blessings of this night. May Allah strengthen our faith. This night is of particular significance. For humanity and Islam, it is an extraordinary, an overwhelming night. On this night, our Prophet - peace be upon him - ascended from the earth through the heavens to the Divine Throne. This demonstrates his exalted position. The Prophet - peace be upon him - holds a high rank. This night is truly blessed. Prayers are answered. We should be aware that the acts of worship on this night hold special significance, and we should strive to pray as much as possible. It is called Ihya-ul-Layl. That means staying awake the whole night, which is not an easy task. Everyone should act according to their abilities. After the prayers, before going to sleep, one should perform two units of prayer and go to sleep with ritual ablution. Then, at the time of the Tahajjud prayer, wake up early, pray, perform acts of worship, and make supplications. These supplications will certainly be answered. Praised be Allah, who created us as believers. We will ask for the strengthening of our faith. The most important thing is to ask for forgiveness and mercy. We will implore Allah for forgiveness and grace. Health and well-being. Let us pray that we remain in good health – this is the greatest gift. This is the recommendation of our Prophet - peace be upon him. Whoever follows this advice wins. Whoever neglects it misses out on much blessing. Allah did not grant it to him at this time. This blessed night is a test of faith. The true believer trusts everything that the Prophet has conveyed. He believes in the unseen. The unseen encompasses all that remains hidden from our eyes. Our Prophet proclaimed the night and heavenly journey, and Allah the Exalted revealed it to us through him. We believe in it and trust in it, thanks be to Allah. With whom is true faith found? With those who follow the path of the Prophet - peace be upon him. With those who are faithful to the Sunnah. With those who obey his commandments. Whoever turns away from the Prophet - peace be upon him - goes astray. Their faith is shaken and threatened to be lost. They become like idolaters. When the idolaters learned of the Prophet's ascension - peace be upon him - they rejected it as a lie. They accused him of falsehood. Even today, there are people who pretend to be Muslims. They manipulate the faith of the people. Some claim it was just a dream. Others deny it completely. They speak neither of a dream nor of anything else. Such a group is making itself noticeable. Satan has led them astray. He has taken away their faith; they have become disbelievers. Without faith, one also leaves the religion - may Allah protect us from that. This is a dangerous development. For Allah the Exalted, nothing is impossible. Allah the Exalted, who created you from nothing, accomplishes what He wills. According to His will, He can bring you to the highest or lowest place in an instant. Therefore, those who cause others to doubt and play with their faith are ignorant and blinded. Even some who consider themselves particularly clever and educated fall into this doubt. They fall into Satan's trap. May Allah protect us from that – there is hardly any escape from this situation. Only a few find their way back. Therefore, one must stay away from such people. One should avoid those who do not show due respect to the Prophet - peace be upon him. You don't even need to speak with them. For they carry poison within them. This poison will - Allah protect us - poison you and plunge you into ruin. You will die. That is, you will die spiritually, and there will be no salvation in the hereafter. May Allah preserve us. May Allah continue the blessings of this day upon us. On this momentous night, our Prophet - peace be upon him - traversed all spheres. "How can that be?" they ask - with Allah, time and space are in His hand. Both are His creation. Allah the Exalted disposes of them according to His will. Thus, on that night, our Prophet saw the entire Paradise, Hell, the highest Throne within two hours, and appeared before Allah the Exalted. In this short span, Allah stretched time. Which time? Time stood still. Allah the Exalted makes time stand still. Even if a hundred years passed. Like a blink of an eye, like this moment. The human mind can comprehend some things. Others are beyond its grasp. The Prophet's night journey and ascension - peace be upon him - still lie within the realm of the understandable. Not beyond the limits. Beyond the limits, there is much more. There are realms without limits. The wisdom of Allah the Exalted knows no limits. Limits are set. But Allah's wisdom is limitless. The night journey and ascension is therefore a matter of faith of simple clarity. If academics and theologians cannot believe this, it testifies to their limited insight. May Allah grant them faith and understanding. https://mawlanatranslated.com/

Allah the Almighty has bestowed His special blessings upon certain places and times. Allah has gifted these to the community of Muhammad and to all people. Allah has gifted these beautiful places and times to people so they may benefit from them. Observing these special times and visiting these blessed places benefits both the body and the soul. Even though it may be physically strenuous, it brings relief and beauty to the soul, and also benefits the body. Worship services bound to specific times or places include prayer, fasting, Hajj, and Umrah... The Hajj only takes place once a year. In the past, Hajj was only possible for a few. The obstacles back then were of a different nature. Today, we face different challenges. For various reasons, it is not granted to everyone. In this lies Allah's unfathomable wisdom. This cannot be questioned. In the past, people could not simply set off for Umrah. They performed Hajj and then Umrah afterwards. They could only undertake the Hajj once in their lives. Today it is different, especially Umrah has become much more accessible. Whoever wants to can participate. It is important to perform Hajj before Umrah. "We are on the waiting list." "It hasn't worked out yet," people say. "Then let's do Umrah in the meantime," they think. However, if you spend the money saved for Hajj on Umrah and then cannot take your Hajj spot, that is not right. However, if you have set aside sufficient funds for Hajj, there is nothing preventing you from Umrah. Hajj should remain the primary intention. Year after year, Allah credits this good intention to you. Some have been waiting for their Hajj opportunity for 14 years. Every year they hope anew: "This time it will work out." Their intention is sincere, and even if it does not work out, Allah rewards them for it. They receive this reward year after year until Hajj is made possible for them. If you have saved the money for Hajj and are on the waiting list, you can certainly undertake an Umrah, provided you can afford it. This allows you to visit both the Prophet's grave and the Kaaba. To see these holy places with your own eyes and feel their special power is a unique experience of immeasurable value. At the Kaaba, every act of worship is rewarded a hundred thousandfold. Each unit of prayer counts as a hundred thousand, each prayer as a hundred thousand prayers. All of this benefits the believers. However, whoever performs Umrah before Hajj and then cannot embark on Hajj for financial reasons when the opportunity arises, misses out on a great blessing. Alhamdulillah, by Allah's grace, our sister Hajjah Rukiyyah Sultan, Haji Mehmed Nazim, and Sheikh Bahauddin can perform Umrah today. With Allah's blessing, everything will be fine. Such places bring true benefit to people. To say "I have been to London, Paris, or elsewhere" has no value. Travels undertaken for worldly purposes bring no benefit in the hereafter. Only the blessed places are of lasting value. May Allah grant it to us and accept it. May the blessing and reward of these journeys be granted to us all, inshaAllah. May Allah enable us all to perform Hajj, especially those who have never been there. https://www.youtube.com/@MawlanaSheikhMehmedAdil.Transl

We thank Allah that we are in the blessed month of Rajab, which is now gradually drawing to a close. It is one of the sacred Haram months. At the beginning, there is a blessed night. And at the end, there is a blessed night. At the beginning of this month is the Regaib Night. And at its end is the Night of Isra and Mi'raj - an undeniable truth. Whoever, as a Muslim, denies the Prophet's journey to the heavens forfeits his faith. Allah himself has anchored this in the middle of the Quran to dispel any doubt. Isra means night journey. The Archangel Gabriel brought the holy steed Burak to Mecca, where the night journey began. There is no comparable being like the steed Burak on Earth. With a single step, it could travel from one place to another in a minute. During the journey, our Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, stopped at five holy places. At each, he prayed two rakats. Before ascending to heaven, he finally reached Jerusalem. There, he prayed with the prophets and then ascended to the Mi'raj. Mi'raj means ascension. He ascended to heaven. Allah, the Exalted, elevated our Prophet to the highest level that a human can reach. Our Prophet was already exalted, but Allah also physically elevated him to the highest level so that people could see it, and this honor was bestowed upon our Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him. Allah, the Exalted, received and spoke to our Prophet in a way that we cannot comprehend. This manifestation of the Mi'raj was not granted to anyone except our Prophet. Why do we say that? Some people claim, in order to weaken the faith of Muslims, that Isra and Mi'raj were just a dream. And supposedly, scholars and educated people say this. University graduates. Doctors, people with master's degrees. People with higher education. Such people say that. "It was just a dream," they say. Dreaming is something common that everyone does. If it had only been a dream, where would the miracle be in that? Their empty words have no value. What matters is the truth. Belief in the miracles of our Prophet and in the unseen is one of our most important principles of faith. Belief in the unseen means believing in what we do not see. People did not see it and said: 'That is impossible.' How can one travel a journey that takes forty days in one night? Even before they thought about the ascension to heaven, they could not even grasp the earthly distances. Nowadays, this distance can be covered effortlessly. And behold: What was once hidden is now clear before us. Believing in the ascension to heaven is a condition of our faith. Allah, the Exalted, elevated his last and most beloved Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, to the highest level, into his own presence. In this place, there are no concepts of time and space. Only Allah alone knows what this encounter was like. We believe in that. May Allah protect us from disbelief in it. Whoever denies this loses both his faith and his religion. The blessed night of Isra and Mi'raj is a blessed night. InshaAllah, we will experience it in two days. May its blessings be upon us. The acts of worship on this blessed night bring us closer to Allah, the Exalted. These blessed nights are nights given to us by Allah, the Exalted, in honor of our Prophet. They are beautiful nights. Through this night, our faith becomes even stronger. Allah showed our Prophet things that humanity would only be able to see after millions of years in space and time. Our Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, reached all these places and wonderful things in two hours and returned to deliver this glad tidings to the people. The people who accept the glad tidings are believers. Those who do not accept it are disbelievers. The disbelievers mocked this and rejoiced. They said that from now on, no one could follow this man anymore. Allah forbid! Because they did not accept his prophethood, they either denied him or accused him with all sorts of inappropriate words. When they told our Prophet's closest friend, Abu Bakr, he asked: 'Really? Did he say it himself with his blessed mouth?' Mockingly, they said that he had said it. When they said: "Not from anyone else, we heard it directly from him", Abu Bakr replied: "Then I confirm it as well." They were amazed. They ran away. This shows how close Abu Bakr was to our Prophet. So close that during Allah's command 'come closer,' Abu Bakr's voice was heard. As a gift and intimacy from Allah, because he was his closest friend, Allah let our Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, hear his voice. These things show us what beauties Allah has given us and how valuable it is to belong to the community of Muhammad. Even in this blessed moment, our Prophet thought again about his community. He asked Allah, the Exalted, for forgiveness for us, his "Umma." He asked Allah, the Exalted, for forgiveness. We thank Allah a million times over for belonging to his community. May Allah let us dwell in His presence in Paradise, inshaAllah. For the sake of the honor of these beautiful days, inshaAllah.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, says: الصدقة ترد البلاء وتزيد العمر أو كما قال Giving Sadaqa is of great importance. A person has three hundred and sixty joints. The body parts include bones, fingers, feet, neck, and other organs. The Prophet, peace be upon him, teaches us that we should give a Sadaqa for each of these joints. The companions asked, "What can we do if we have no way to give Sadaqa?" It is also considered Sadaqa if you remove dirt, trash, obstacles, or stones from the path. This means that Sadaqa does not necessarily have to be given in the form of money - every good deed counts as Sadaqa. We should give Sadaqa daily, because we owe Allah our gratitude for every joint. That's how it should be. The Prophet, peace be upon him, says: "Give Sadaqa." Even if it is only half a date. There was poverty at that time. The Prophet, peace be upon him, teaches: Even if you keep half for yourself and give the other half as Sadaqa, it will protect you from Hellfire. That is of great importance. People are afraid to give Sadaqa. Their ego resists it. They feel Sadaqa is a burden. Especially the wealthy become increasingly stingy. In doing so, they only harm themselves. Even a small Sadaqa protects a person from great misfortune. The Prophet, peace be upon him, teaches: Sadaqa protects from misfortune and grants a longer life. So this is of great importance to people. It is a beautiful advice from our Prophet, peace be upon him. Sadaqa is not obligatory for people, but it is important. "Why should I give Sadaqa, I already pay Zakat," some say. Whether they really pay Zakat is debatable. They don't even want to give Sadaqa. But for other, unnecessary things, they spend enormous sums. For Sadaqa, they don't even give a thousandth of that. Sadaqa is of great importance. Sadaqa prevents misfortune and calamity. People are protected through Sadaqa. If they knew the benefit, people would give half of their wealth as Sadaqa daily. That's how significant it is. This is the advice of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to his community. Do not be stingy. Stinginess is reprehensible. Allah does not love the stingy, but the generous. A sinful generous person is more beloved to Allah than a stingy pious person. So don't neglect this - it serves your own well-being. "I give every week," some say. No, that's not how it works. The Prophet teaches: Every day requires its own Sadaqa. The Prophet, peace be upon him, says that with every sunrise a new Sadaqa is due. "Should I go looking for the needy every morning?" Put up a donation box and put your Sadaqa in it. Later you can give the Sadaqa to whomever you want. No need to rush. If you put the Sadaqa in this box, it is considered given. You can of course exchange the small change if necessary. Some think they are no longer allowed to touch the money once it is in the donation box. But that's not true - you can change it at any time or round up the amount in the box. You can give Sadaqa in this way - that's completely fine. The main thing is: The Sadaqa is there. That benefits you. Today, everyone takes out insurance. They pay for it without hesitation. Sadaqa is your daily insurance. The best insurance is this: Sadaqa. However, this daily insurance must be renewed every day with a new Sadaqa. May Allah enable us to do so. Sadaqa benefits you more than the needy person. Every Sadaqa you put in there serves your well-being. May Allah protect us from misfortune and calamity. We live in the end times, no one knows what lies ahead. When and what happens to one remains uncertain. So give your Sadaqa and go your way reassured. For the sake of Allah, I have given this Sadaqa today. Give daily Sadaqa - for the poor and needy, for the protection and well-being of our loved ones, our children, and families. Allah will protect you for it. If you do it out of respect for the Prophet and in trust of his blessed words, you may be confident on this day, inshaAllah. May Allah protect us all.

This is nothing but tales of the ancients. (8:31) "Those are just old stories," they say. The Holy Quran reports that people always dismissed the pronouncements of the prophets as "old stories." Mawlana Sheikh Nazim could only laugh at the behavior, words, and writings of these people... For him, it was all simply ridiculous. They call themselves "contemporaries," but our Mawlana Sheikh Nazim mockingly called them "tea companions." That was his way of making fun of it. "Tea companions" - they only serve nonsense. With "contemporaries," they mean that they are modern. It is supposed to sound modern and progressive. This is nothing new. It has always existed. The disbelievers rebelled against all the prophets: "Those are just old stories, all from yesterday!" What the prophets did was a thorn in their side. Allah created all people equally. For two hundred years, Satan has been sowing this thought in the Islamic world: "You are backward, your thinking is from yesterday - just look how the disbelievers have surpassed you." Supposedly only because they are modern. "Throw your religion overboard, especially the old customs," they preach. "Renew the religion." "Be modern, be innovative!" "Don't accept the old anymore." "Just look at how the Europeans live!" As soon as Europe was mentioned, the admiration for the disbelievers knew no bounds. Whatever they did seemed beautiful to the people. That's how people have continued until today. Eventually they realized that there is no difference. Nevertheless, people continue to go there because they want to be in their world of thoughts and because of the money. Yet it is Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, who created mankind. And wherever he is - his provision is assured. No one is better than another. There is no need to subordinate oneself to anyone. And through this submission, they have lost their dignity, lost their personality. They have lost their honor. They are divided and scattered. Now they are playthings. Being modern is no art. What good is it to be modern if you have no sense? Even being modern a thousand times will then bring nothing. It brings nothing, it only harms. In the name of modernity, they have robbed you, stripped you bare, taken your lands, killed and massacred you. And you are still chasing after them in the name of modernity. The common people are one thing - but the real danger comes from those who pose as scholars and religious experts, while they look down on the Mashaykhs and treat them with contempt. "They are backward and from yesterday." "They are not enlightened like us." "Look at the Orientalists in Europe, how beautifully they speak." "What wonderful ideas they have." Their ideas only aim to remove people from faith and from Islam. They are enemies of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and all his companions, nothing else. These are the so-called modernists. Even more dangerous than the admiration for the European lifestyle. Because they intend directly to corrupt society and are working on it. Nothing else. They have nothing to show. Whoever follows them is either a fool or a traitor. It is not otherwise. One of the two. There is no third. Therefore, be mindful. Our path, the path that the Mashaykhs show us, that is the right path. Do not deviate from it. Hold fast to it, so that they cannot manipulate you like puppets. May Allah protect us from their evil.

Allah, the Exalted, says in the Holy Quran in many places, "Afalā taʿqilūn". "Do you not have understanding?" Allah asks. "Do you not use your minds?" "Come to your senses," says Allah. Allah, the Exalted, has given man understanding so that he can distinguish good from evil; So that he can distinguish the useful from the useless. He has given him understanding so that he can distinguish the harmful from the harmless. Animals have no understanding, but Allah has given them the instinct to stay away from bad things. When they see something dangerous, they flee. Allah has given them a brain sufficient to take care of themselves. They manage with that. But man is different; he must be able to recognize good and evil. For when an animal dies, it will turn to dust on the Day of Judgment. It has no way to go to heaven or hell. There are only a few insects and animals. These will enter Paradise. The rest will have to give an account on the Day of Judgment if they have caused suffering to others. If an animal has struck another, that animal will strike it back on the Day of Judgment. If it has bitten, it will do the same. After that, they too will turn to dust. But man is different. Man will bear the consequences of his earthly deeds in the Hereafter for all eternity. Therefore, the disbelievers will wish: "Oh, that I had also turned to dust!" "If only," they will say, "I had received my punishment like these and had turned to dust." But that is not possible. Why? Because Allah has given him understanding, so that with this understanding he knows what will happen, recognizes the dangers, and stays away from them. So that he recognizes the good and performs his prayers. Prayers are difficult. He has given him understanding so that he works and earns his livelihood. Not everything is easy. Even those who work for the world must strive. They strive to earn money. It must be the same for the Hereafter. That is Allah's wisdom; Allah does what He wills. Now, in the coldest winter days, when it is sunny, the unreasonable say: "Oh, how beautiful!" "What a sunny day!" "We haven't frozen, we haven't had any difficulties," they say. "It wasn't dark." "It didn't rain on us." "We didn't get stuck in the mud." "Oh, how beautiful! We have survived the winter." But what will be in summer when there is drought? Reasonable people pray to Allah in winter: "Oh Allah, send us rain, let it be muddy, let it snow, let it be cold, so that our seeds may thrive." Everything depends on water. Allah has created everything from water. Without water, there is nothing. The reasonable see this sunny day as Allah's wisdom and accept it; they do not say like the others: "How beautiful this is!" "Oh! What a beautiful day." "It's sunny." "Look, we're walking around," many people say. For the Hereafter, many people also live as if they are walking around on a sunny day. They do not pray, they do not do good deeds, no charitable acts, no worship; they live according to their own desires. But those who live only for pleasure should know that after winter comes summer, the drought. They will find no water. They will find no solution. Then they begin to fidget and ask: "What shall we do?" The Hereafter is even more difficult. You have done nothing for the Hereafter in this world. You lived in luxury, lived only for pleasure, celebrated, ate and drank, what do I know what else you did. Then you will have to bear the consequences in the Hereafter. Everything has its order and its way. You must strive for that: In this world, you should perform your prayers. You will reap the fruits of that in the Hereafter. Therefore, Allah, the Exalted, says: "Use your minds." Recognize good, recognize evil. What does that mean? Works done at the right time are blessed. Allah, the Exalted, has given us understanding because after the time has passed, you do not get a second chance. May Allah grant us all to use our minds, and also those who have understanding but do not use it. There are hardly any reasonable people left in the world. Give, give, give. If you give, what will happen then? Nothing. The more you give, the more they take from the other side. You want something, it disappears from the other side. May Allah send a Mahdi Alayhissalam. May Mahdi Alayhissalam come and clean everything up. People have completely lost their way. They don't even know the value of money anymore. They also don't know the value of goods. They know neither the value of health nor of life. They do not know the value of the gifts of Allah. May Allah make us among those who appreciate values, inshaAllah. May Allah protect us. May He send us blessed rain, inshaAllah. The sunny days should remain for summer. Now it should rain, storm, and snow, inshaAllah. May Allah give his blessing, inshaAllah.

Cleanliness is part of faith. Islam is based on purity. Purity is the foundation of Islam. Without purity, no worship is accepted. For this reason, the first chapter in the Fiqh books is the Kitab al-Tahara. That means this part deals with ritual purity - that is exactly what it is about. The first part explains what pure water is, how it retains its purity, and what different types of water there are. Everything originated from water, and water is essential for purity. Without water, it does not work. In an emergency, dry cleansing (Tayammum) is performed. Although this is a special case, ultimately you need water to properly cleanse yourself and your clothes. This is external purity. Inner purity is just as important. The inside should also be pure. How is inner purity achieved? Through sincerity and by following the path of the Prophet. The path of the Prophet is clear and distinct. There are people who show the way of the Prophet. There is the Sharia and the Tariqat. One must follow them to lead a pure life on the path of the Prophet. After external purity comes inner purity. If one does not pay attention to purity, it is like dirt getting into the water - just as ablution with impure water is invalid, other things can also defile your heart in this way. Through this defilement, your faith can be lost. May Allah protect us from that. Since the time of the Prophet, the helpers of Satan have often tried to corrupt the religion. Every time they bring something new forth. But thank Allah, the Imams of the schools of law and the masters of the Tariqas cleanse people from these things. They keep people pure from these deceptions. And as a result, people pay no attention to these things. But unfortunately, the devils have been creating even more confusion lately. They tell you something, everything seems good and beautiful. But in the end, they mix poison into it and defile your inner self. Your deeds become useless. Such deeds bring you no blessing, on the contrary - they only do harm. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to follow the path of the Prophet so that the hereafter is blessed. So that the hereafter is perfect. Now it has become modern to say, 'You don't need a school of law, you don't need a Tariqat.' Yet these things are necessary from the beginning. Tariqat, school of law, and Sharia are the same, nothing else. Some people just don't understand that. That is why they are deceived. When they are deceived, their deeds bring little benefit. It is Islam, everything seems to be in order, but then sins also arise. How do sins arise? They harbor resentment against some companions of the Prophet, resentment against the family of the Prophet. They say: 'They are like us, they have no special rank.' The more cunning among them are even more subtle - they sow doubts very carefully and gradually undermine people's faith. Not everyone has Iman, faith. There is Islam, but the level of Iman is higher. Islam is the level of the Muslim, which exists, but the people with true faith, the Mu'mine, have a higher rank, they are Allah's beloved servants. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us all from evil, wickedness, and impurity, inshaAllah.

And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. (5:2) This is the blessed commandment of Allah, the Almighty: Help one another in doing good. Do good. Be benevolent. Do no evil. Do not be hostile. Help each other. This is Allah's command in Islam for a good life for people. Do good. Be helpful. If you cannot do good, then at least do no bad. If people were to follow this, they would live like in paradise, both here and in the hereafter. But Satan does not leave people alone. He says: "Do no good." "Why are you doing good to these people?" "What does it bring you? What do you get out of it?" "Do you profit from doing good?" "No," says Satan. What does that mean, it brings nothing? Of course it brings something! But Satan does not see the good and does not show it either. He presents good as harm. He makes evil appear good and useful. He believes that what is obtained through deception or oppression is a gain. But it is not a gain, but exclusively a direct harm to oneself. Above all else, one harms oneself. The more evil one does, the more one harms oneself. The more good a person does, the more good he does to himself. Allah, the Almighty, rewards every good deed down to the smallest detail and raises his rank. Whoever does evil, every evil deed returns to him down to the smallest detail. May Allah protect us from that. May He grant us vigilance. Allah, the Almighty, has given man understanding so that he can think. If he were to think, he would not harm anyone. He would certainly want to do good. But people do not use their understanding. They have put understanding aside. They do whatever Satan says. May Allah protect us from his evil. May it lead to good, inshaAllah.
