السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. والصلاة والسلام على رسولنا محمد سيد الأولين والآخرين. مدد يا رسول الله، مدد يا سادتي أصحاب رسول الله، مدد يا مشايخنا، دستور مولانا الشيخ عبد الله الفايز الداغستاني، الشيخ محمد ناظم الحقاني. مدد. طريقتنا الصحبة والخير في الجمعية.
فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبࣰا لِّیُضِلَّ ٱلنَّاسَ بِغَیۡرِ عِلۡمٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یَهۡدِی ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ
(6:144)
Allah, the Exalted, commands:
"Who is the greatest oppressor? It is the one who falsely attributes statements to Allah that He never revealed and then presents them as Allah's words."
Such a person is the ultimate oppressor.
Allah withholds His guidance from such unjust people.
The path they show is a misguided one.
Ultimately, everyone shows their true colors.
The unbeliever reveals his disbelief.
The misguided person reveals their misguidance.
These are easy to recognize, but the most dangerous are those who present themselves as Muslims and boldly proclaim: "This is Allah's word, these are the words of the Prophet."
Allah will withhold His guidance from them.
Their end will be bitter.
In our time, there are many who disguise themselves as Muslims and attempt to undermine Islam—some deliberately, some unknowingly.
Those who do it intentionally bear greater guilt, but even the ignorant are not without responsibility.
For whoever claims to guide others must at least possess sound knowledge.
The most serious offense is to present something as Allah's word which He never revealed—that is the greatest of all oppressions.
For in doing so, one toys with people's faith, with their worldly and eternal lives. Once they have strayed from the right path, most are doomed.
Only a few find the strength to repent and sincerely return.
Therefore, leading people into eternal damnation and turning them away from the straight path is a grave transgression—it is the most reprehensible of all.
Our time is full of such people.
And people follow them blindly.
You do not follow the righteous but go astray.
There is no excuse for that.
Indeed, one can stray from the right path, but one can also find the way back.
For example, yesterday, on the way to Hala Sultan, we got lost, but after some wandering, we found the right path again.
But whoever stubbornly follows the wrong path will never reach their goal.
They remain lost forever.
Without returning to the right path, there is no arrival.
One remains in error.
One walks winding paths that lead to ruin.
We must beware of that.
"I ignorantly followed this man or woman; their words sounded so convincing"—that will not be an excuse.
It is essential to seek the truth and examine thoroughly.
If the path of this person is right, then follow it.
If not, then every moment of turning back is a gain.
May Allah protect us from that.
The number of deceivers and liars is great.
Even during the time of our Prophet, peace be upon him, false prophets appeared.
After them came misleading and corrupt scholars.
Millions of their followers perished because of them.
May Allah protect us from that.
We must pay careful attention to this.
The straight path is recognizable and accessible to everyone.
Whoever leaves it and follows misguided ways bears the responsibility for the consequences.
May Allah preserve us.
Be vigilant, in sha' Allah.

وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلۡمَرۡحَمَةِ
(90:17)
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ
(90:18)
Allah the Almighty promises glad tidings to patient and compassionate believers.
They will attain the highest ranks, on the right side, in the most beautiful places of Paradise.
They will be allowed to experience Allah's mercy.
This patience and compassion form the foundation of Islam.
It is exactly the path that our Prophet—peace be upon him—taught, recommended, and exemplified for us.
A Muslim is characterized by mercy and patience.
Whoever is impatient and hard-hearted must work on themselves.
Unbelievers lack mercy, patience, and any kind of goodness.
They are the candidates for Hell.
They are the ones who deserve Hell.
Whoever does not show patience and compassion will not receive Allah's mercy.
Whoever is not merciful will not experience mercy.
Therefore, the believer is always on the path of goodness.
He wishes only the best for all people.
And this mercy extends not only to humans but to all animals, trees— to all living things.
Therefore, it is not permitted to fell green plants and trees without reason.
Islam also forbids the burning of greenery.
That is disapproved.
It is not allowed.
People do it anyway; they do all sorts of things.
But mercy is not limited to humans alone.
Islam teaches us mercy towards trees, birds, animals—towards everything.
The hypocrites of today present themselves outwardly as merciful.
Yet they possess no mercy whatsoever.
They act contrary to the laws and ways of life established by Allah.
That is oppression of people.
For everything was created in the right measure and proper balance.
If one changes or manipulates anything in it, one harms everyone.
And that is exactly what people are doing nowadays.
There is nothing left of mercy.
No trace of goodness.
And yet they claim: "We are the good ones, we are the merciful."
It is Islam:
Islam shows the best way, the most beautiful path—it shows what humanity really needs.
Everything outside of Islam harms humanity, is a transgression, and only causes harm.
The Islamic way is the salvation of humanity.
Allah the Almighty says in the Holy Quran:
وَلَوۡ اَعۡجَبَكَ كَثۡرَةُ الۡخَبِيۡثِ
(5:100)
"Do not be impressed by the multitude of evil. Do not follow the motto 'Everyone is doing it, so I will do it too.'"
لَوۡ اَعۡجَبَكَ
That means: Do not find pleasure in it.
Do not join in just because everyone is doing it.
They are on the wrong path.
Do not endanger yourself; do not immerse yourself in filth—this is Allah's warning to us. Even if Islam is truly practiced by only a few in the world, hold fast to it, follow it, so that you may be saved and help others to salvation as well.

اِنَّ الدِّيۡنَ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ الۡاِسۡلَامُ
(3:19)
Islam is the religion that Allah, the Exalted, has revealed to humanity.
There is no other religion of Allah.
Islam is the only religion of Allah.
All prophets follow this one religion.
It is all Islam.
Even if the religious laws changed over time, every prophet passed this entrusted treasure to his successor.
This tradition continued up to our Prophet, peace be upon him, who then proclaimed: "I have perfected this religion."
اَ لۡيَوۡمَ اَكۡمَلۡتُ لَـكُمۡ دِيۡنَكُمۡ وَاَ تۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ نِعۡمَتِىۡ وَرَضِيۡتُ لَـكُمُ الۡاِسۡلَامَ دِيۡنًا
(5:3)
Today the religion is perfected.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) proclaimed in his Farewell Sermon: "I have taught you everything."
The Companions did not sense what the Prophet was hinting at.
Only Sayyidina Abu Bakr realized: If the religion is perfected, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) will soon transition to the hereafter.
Sayyidina Abu Bakr wept.
The other Companions did not notice it at first.
Only when they saw Sayyidina Abu Bakr's tears did they suspect that something was amiss.
Whoever understood was filled with sorrow.
For the Prophet was only 63 years old and physically much stronger than ordinary people.
His departure shook the Companions deeply, but his mission on earth is not finished; it is eternal.
He is alive, does not die, and is always present—the Prophet (peace be upon him) is always there for his community.
He is the last Prophet.
Humanity must follow his path.
How does one follow his path?
The path leads through an uninterrupted chain: from his family to the Companions, from the scholars to the saints and sheikhs up to our time.
The path of the Prophet is the right path.
One cannot arbitrarily say: "I change this or that."
In the basic principles, there are no changes.
In the prayers and times of worship, there are no changes.
Worldly matters naturally adapt to the times.
But the fundamental pillars—pilgrimage, prayer, almsgiving, fasting—remain unchanged.
Nothing changes in that.
That is the way of our Tariqa.
Our Tariqa means following the Prophet, walking his path, and fulfilling Allah's commandments.
Nothing else.
There are many troublemakers.
Many are envious.
يُرِيۡدُوۡنَ لِيُطۡفِـُٔـوۡا نُوۡرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَ فۡوَاهِهِمْ وَاللّٰهُ مُتِمُّ نُوۡرِهٖ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ
(61:8)
They try to blow out the divine light.
This light does not go out.
Allah will perfect His light.
Thanks to Allah, they cannot extinguish this light among the rightly guided Muslims who follow the Prophet's path.
This light will continue to exist.
Let them stir up trouble as much as they want; it will avail them nothing, with Allah's permission.
Whoever wants to accept it, let them accept it; whoever does not, let them leave it.
We belong to the Tariqa.
Our Tariqa is the Naqshbandi Tariqa; there are 41 Tariqas.
The Tariqas are truthful.
Whoever wants to accept it, let them accept it; whoever does not, let them leave it.
In the Tariqa, we make a covenant with Allah and His Prophet, peace be upon him.
That will not change, God willing.
The pledge of allegiance in the Tariqa is the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet himself.
We follow the unchanged path of the Prophet, with Allah's permission.
Whatever others may say, be they Wahhabis or Salafis.
We fear no one.
We owe nothing to anyone.
Whoever accepts it, accepts it; whoever does not, that's their own concern.
May Allah be pleased with us; that suffices for us.
May Allah not lead us away from this path; may He not misguide us.
There are many Muslims who go astray; they ruin themselves.
The right path is this path, the path of the Prophet, which has been transmitted unchanged for 1,400 years.
Today there are people who deviate from the path.
These are unfortunate people.
May Allah protect us from their fate.
May Allah not lead us away from the right path.
May Allah grant guidance to the people.

تُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلۡخَيۡرُۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ
(3:26)
Everything lies in Allah's hand.
He elevates whom He wills.
He humbles whom He wills.
Whoever believes in that finds inner peace.
Whoever is with Allah is elevated.
Whoever is with Allah rises and becomes exalted.
Whoever is not with Him is humbled.
Humbled means worthless, without reputation.
Dignity means to be with Allah.
Whoever is with Allah, his rank is certainly elevated.
Those who are not with Allah and oppose Him—no matter how much people may elevate them—they are ignoble.
Human praise is of no benefit.
We will all stand before Allah.
Whoever is with Allah and with His beloved servants will be saved.
Therefore, pay attention to whom you love, for the Prophet says: You will be with those whom you love.
With those people whom you have loved in your life, you will be reunited on the Day of Resurrection.
Therefore, love the good people, love the Prophet, love the saints, love Allah, so that you may be saved.
It is not important whether you are saved in this world.
What is important is the hereafter; what is important is eternal life.
Therefore, one must be attentive.
Accordingly, one should weigh carefully.
Allah has given humans understanding, intellect, and judgment.
Humans are not like animals; animals have no understanding, only a brain.
They only eat, drink, and reproduce—nothing more.
But humans should be able to distinguish between good and evil.
Humans can be deceived.
Therefore, humans must always weigh whether something is right or wrong, good or bad.
What is better—the worldly benefit or the benefit in the hereafter?
Thus, one should decide carefully whom to love and whom not to love.
May Allah let us love the good ones, so that we can be with the good and with Allah.

"And never say of anything, 'Indeed, I will do that tomorrow.'" (18:23)
"Except [when adding], 'If Allah wills.' And remember your Lord when you forget." (18:24)
Allah, the Exalted, commands us in the Holy Quran that we should not say about any matter: "I will do that."
Allah, the Exalted, gives us the advice, the command, and the admonition to say: "I will do this, if Allah wills."
For humans do not know what will happen in the next minute.
People lightly promise: "I will do this, I will do that."
Of these, 99 percent are empty words anyway.
Therefore, in everything one intends, one should say: "If Allah wills, if it is granted to me, I would like to do this."
Most people do not think about this at all.
They believe they can do and achieve everything.
Often people come and say: "I have done everything perfectly, it will work."
Then comes the point when it does not work.
That means that Allah, the Exalted, does not will it.
If Allah wills, it happens; if not, then it does not; therefore, one should not be sad, but one must make an effort.
Just talking without effort brings nothing.
One must both make an effort and constantly think of Allah, the Exalted, and say: "May Allah allow it, may Allah help us to complete this task."
That is Dhikr.
Dhikr means not to forget, to remember.
It does not only mean to recite "Allah, Allah," but to think of Allah in every moment and in every action.
Therefore, you should pay attention and, after your effort, thank Allah when it works, and praise Him even when it does not work.
"May Allah give us something better."
May Allah let us do good according to His will, inshallah.

Thank Allah, we are united again.
Through Allah's grace and decree, it was a blessed journey.
We met many brothers and sisters and lovers on Allah's path who love Allah and the Prophet.
This journey refreshed their souls;
and also refreshed ours. Thanks be to Allah!
Finally, we were allowed to stand in the presence of our Prophet (peace be upon him).
What a truly blessed place!
There are very sublime and great divine manifestations here.
Thank Allah, people are drawn here.
No matter how great the difficulties are, Allah's reward is correspondingly greater.
There will be trials when one goes there.
To be in the presence of our Prophet (peace be upon him) is worth enduring these trials.
Thank Allah for that.
May Allah grant us further visits and also to those who have not yet been there, Inshallah.
Whatever happens there, being allowed to be there is the greatest grace.
For that, we should be grateful and praise Allah.
One should not say, "This was like this, that was like that."
That is not important.
What is important is that one was invited and accepted.
The other matters are secondary.
One is not making an ordinary vacation trip.
This is not a vacation but the acceptance of a great reward and an exalted invitation.
Therefore, one should enter with respect and leave with respect.
Thank Allah, one sees the reward in the end.
There is no reason to worry, "They placed us here, not there."
When one is there, every place is a garden of paradise.
Whether they let us in there or not?
That is not important.
What is important is to come into the presence of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and to pass by his blessed grave. The Prophet is present and sees.
He looks upon you; he sees you.
For you are reciting blessings.
When you recite blessings and greet the Prophet, he returns your greeting and blessing.
The Prophet hears your blessings everywhere in the whole world and greets you back; but to pilgrimage there is, to the best of efforts and ability, the greatest longing of the believers.
May Allah accept this visit.
May He grant it also to those who have not yet been there, Inshallah.
Smelling the rose among the thorns, reaching the rose, is worth everything.
Efforts are insignificant.
Some people do not think of the rose but of the thorns.
They say, "There was a thorn; it hurt so much."
No, the goal is not the thorns but the rose.
Being with the Prophet (peace be upon him) is worth everything, for he is the most valuable.
Whoever understands this attains the pleasure of our Prophet (peace be upon him).
The Prophet, peace be upon him, says, "You should love me more than anything else."
"Do not forget me and do not think of the thorns."
"Think of me, love me," says our Prophet, peace be upon him.
Our greatest wish is to love our Prophet and attain his intercession.
Loving him means eternal bliss, eternal beauty.
To be with him, to be near him in Paradise, is our longing.
May Allah grant it to all of us.

[...] regarding neighbors: be a good neighbor.
In the Quran it says:
وَٱلۡجَارِ ذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ
(4:36)
meaning the close neighbor.
Neighbors are very important.
The Companions said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke so much about neighbors' rights that they thought neighbors would be included in inheritance.
Though there's no inheritance for them, this shows you how important it is.
When you are a neighbor, you must be a good neighbor.
This applies whether your neighbor is a believer or not.
If your neighbor is a believer, they must be even more careful about this.
You should help them and look after them.
If something happens, be there for them.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Your faith is not complete if you are full while your neighbor is hungry.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) frequently spoke about neighbors.
Wherever you live, but especially here, it's important to be good with neighbors.
Whether they're believers or not, it doesn't matter - be a good neighbor.
It's important in the Quran and the Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized being good to others, whether Muslim or non-Muslim neighbors alike.
Everything from the Prophet (peace be upon him) is good.
Those who follow this, especially this teaching, will be happy and blessed.
May Allah keep us on the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him), learning his teachings.
This might not be considered formal worship, but Allah rewards you for this too.
May Allah bless you. Insha'Allah we meet again.

Today is Friday, Juma.
Today is a blessed day for the Ummah.
It is special for the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Ummah.
There are many blessings that Allah granted on this day to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Ummah until the Day of Judgment.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said there is a special hour on this day when prayers are accepted.
When you find this hour, Allah accepts your prayers.
For this reason, many people make prayers today, on Juma.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said they should remember to ask Allah throughout the entire 24 hours.
On Juma... Allah's gaze is in this hour.
When people remember this throughout the day, they remember Allah, the Exalted.
Therefore, it is good for all of us to pray and make dua throughout this entire day.
May Allah accept our prayers, give us strong faith, and grant us health so that we can perform our prayers and worship. May He give us health and wealth to give charity and help more people.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, says,
"Kullu 'atin qareeb"
Everything that is coming is near.
When you say, "I will do this in twenty or fifty years," it's not really that far away.
It's not as distant as you think.
Because time is coming quickly and passing by.
Life moves very fast.
For this reason, don't be lazy.
Don't delay things.
Do what you need to do quickly.
Don't say, "There's so much time."
"It can wait. We can do this later."
This attitude makes you lose something very precious: your life and time.
Allah gave you this life to earn rewards for the next life.
Don't say, "I'll do it later."
The Prophet, peace be upon him, says,
"Halaka l-musawwifoon."
Musawwifoon means those who say, "Sawfa" - "I will do it."
They are the losers, as the Prophet, peace be upon him, says.
They destroy themselves.
Because every time you say "Sawfa" - "I will do this" - it shows you haven't done anything yet.
Therefore, the believer must not be lazy.
Don't let a single moment pass without gaining something beneficial.
How can you do this?
By remembering Allah Azza wa-Jalla and the Prophet, peace be upon him.
This makes all your time precious with reward.
Your time will be filled with blessings.
This is what human beings should strive for.
Today, alhamdulillah, we are traveling here and there.
We meet believers in many villages who come especially for the sake of Allah and His Prophet, peace be upon him.
These people are, alhamdulillah, the successful ones.
But we also see many people just chasing worldly matters and their own pleasures.
They don't think about the hereafter at all; they don't even believe in it.
They live as if Allah created them only for eating and enjoying themselves.
They show no respect for Allah Azza wa-Jalla.
These are unfortunate people.
They might be wealthy.
They might have everything, but that's not enough for human beings.
Allah created humans to be the highest among all creatures.
But when they don't follow Allah's commands, they lose this status and become the lowest.
Don't feel sorry that you can't do as they do:
some things you can do, others you cannot.
It doesn't matter because you won't even remember it.
After two days, worldly pleasure ends.
Then you want more.
But the pleasure of the hereafter is eternal.
Every moment becomes better, happier, and more beneficial for the afterlife.
This is Allah's promise to the believers.
And alhamdulillah, it's easy for believers to attain this pleasure and happiness for the hereafter.
This comes by following Allah's orders, being good to yourself, your family, and your neighbors.
All of this helps you earn rewards and achieve this pleasure, even if it's not worldly pleasure.
In this world too - the believer can enjoy permissible worldly things.
As long as they pray and follow Allah's commands, there are no restrictions.
The believer can swim, eat, walk, and go to good places.
All of this is fine when there is faith in their heart and they don't forget Allah Azza wa-Jalla, as long as they stick to what's permissible and avoid forbidden things.
This is the real pleasure and Allah rewards you in the hereafter.
But for those who are not believers, there's no pleasure at all.
They only pursue what's forbidden: eating haram, drinking haram, going to haram places - everything forbidden.
There is no greater sin than disbelief, the Prophet, peace be upon him, says.
When they are not believers, they have already committed the greatest sin.
Because the biggest sin is to be a non-believer.
When you are a non-believer, this is the worst thing for human beings.
And the best thing for human beings is to be a believer, and to practice their faith.
To be a Mu'min or Muslim is good, but if you want more, you must follow more closely and not forget Allah Azza wa-Jalla.
This is the most important.
And to have your heart filled with the love of Allah, remembering Allah and the Prophet, peace be upon him.
May Allah fill our hearts with this light and nur insha'Allah.
May Allah bless you.
Alhamdulillah there are many believers here but insha'Allah Allah keep you safe from shaytan and waswas.
This is very harmful for believers.
They destroy their rewards.
They can be Muslim, but when they don't ask the Prophet, peace be upon him, for shafa'ah, not asking help from him,
it will be very difficult for them in the next life.
May Allah guide them.
May Allah keep us on their way insha'Allah, the way of Awliya'u Allah insha'Allah.

يَجۡعَلۡ صَدۡرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجٗا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ
(6:125)
All guidance comes from Allah, the Exalted.
We are living in the end times.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke about these times.
These are dangerous times.
In what way are they dangerous?
Is it because of war or something else? No.
Wars have existed since ancient times.
There has never been a time without war.
It is dangerous for the believer.
It's dangerous because Shaytan makes people think their false beliefs are true.
For more than twelve, thirteen, fourteen hundred years, the majority have been following this way of Islam.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) says you must follow Sawad ul-A'zam, the majority.
But the majority today is not the true majority.
The true majority is what has existed for 1400 years.
All of Islam was one way - the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
Only in the last 50 years has this new thing come, spreading like fire everywhere, burning the belief of Islam, the belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama'ah, the belief of the majority of Muslims.
And they say,
"This is the truth. You must follow us."
And the unfortunate ones follow them.
Unfortunately, these misguided people think they are right, but they don't realize that Allah has let Shaytan teach them because they oppose the Prophet (peace be upon him) and lack proper conduct.
The most common trait you see in these people is their lack of adab, proper conduct.
They are ill-mannered people.
They are harsh and without mercy, without a smile - like rocks.
They are harsh, showing no mercy to believers.
They are merciful among themselves :
رُحَمَآءُ بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ
(48:29)
Allah praised the Prophet (peace be upon him) and those who have followed this way for 1400 years.
What we see these days is the opposite of those people.
And this must be.
Why must it be?
Because in the end times, it must be like this for Allah to send the Caliph of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Sayyidina Al-Mahdi (peace be upon him), to cleanse.
This time is not far away.
He is Mujtahid Mutlaq.
What does this mean?
As Mujtahid Mutlaq, what he will say will be how to properly practice shariah and tariqah. His guidance will be direct and complete, so there will be no need for madhhab then.
Until then, everyone must follow a madhhab, though some today wrongly abandon this obligation.
They completely reject tariqah, and now there's a new group who don't follow shariah or madhhab.
Madhhab exists to make the way of Islam easier for believers.
All the Imams: Imam Abu Hanifa, Shafi'i, Hanbali, Maliki.
These four madhhabs are the true madhhabs.
Anything outside of these today is not true.
But these people don't accept any madhhab.
They say, "We can do without."
It doesn't work like that.
Only one can do this: Sayyidina Muhammad Al-Mahdi (peace be upon him).
When he comes – through miracles beyond what we see today – everything will become clear to people worldwide.
Everything will be resolved.
All problems, fighting, and difficulties will end.
Now the world is full of problems, chaos, misery, and injustice.
But in that time, with this clarity, everyone will follow him and be happy.
Those who don't follow will be sent to the hereafter.
Because it is Allah's promise that the whole world will embrace Islam.
What does Islam mean? Peace.
The whole world will be at peace.
Since Adam (peace be upon him), only once will the whole world be at peace.
After this, there will be chaos again.
Then the Day of Judgment will come.
Armageddon, the Day of Judgment will appear.
The fortunate ones follow the true way, not running after these misguided people.
These people lack understanding.
Those with wisdom and good judgment seek truth and follow the true way, the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
There are many spiritual paths, all leading to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and these provide safety.
But now people don't think.
They don't make good decisions.
What are their decisions based on?
They see someone speaking falsehoods on the internet or giving lectures that aren't true.
What they claim is true isn't found in shariah or tariqah.
They spread lies about everyone, even the Prophet (peace be upon him). They respect no one.
They say there's no need for respect.
If you show respect to anyone, they accuse you: "You are a polytheist. You are an unbeliever."
They treat good manners as if they were wrong.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) says,
"أَدَّبَنِي رَبِّي فَأَحْسَنَ تَأدِيبِي"
"Allah taught me good conduct, and perfected my manners," said the Prophet (peace be upon him).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) respected everyone: young and old, women, girls, and boys.
He showed respect to all.
Because they all come with hope of reaching Allah, the Exalted.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught all this, showing and teaching us to respect others.
We respect even non-Muslims and non-believers.
Because Allah created them all, and they have their way.
While we don't follow their way, we respect them as human beings created by Allah.
We must respect not only believers but non-believers too.
But these people don't respect even believers, and they go far astray on this path of Shaytan, the path of Dajjal, the path of evil.
May Allah protect us from them.
We must be careful not to fall into their trap.
Because their trap is made with Shaytan.
Those who follow them unknowingly follow Shaytan.
The end of life is very important.
When you go to the hereafter:
If you have true belief, you will be safe.
If you don't have good belief, if your whole life you wore short trousers, shaved your moustache, and stood in prayer with your legs spread in an undignified manner - this is not true belief.
True belief means respecting the Prophet (peace be upon him).
Without this, when the Angel of Death comes, you'll be hopeless.
You will forget everything.
And when you're questioned, Shaytan will be there.
Because he's been teaching you your whole life.
And he'll say, "Say this. Don't say anything good at that time."
This is a terrible end for disrespectful, ill-mannered people.
May Allah keep us away from them.
They are human beings.
May Allah guide them.
Many of them, when they think and research, return to the right way, the way of shariah and tariqah.
Thanks be to Allah, many have returned, and insha'Allah, others will too.
We pray because we want goodness for everyone.
We don't want to see anyone destroy themselves - jumping from heights or drinking poison.
Would you be happy seeing that?
We are not happy.
We would be very distressed to see such things.
That's why we're unhappy seeing these people harm themselves and others.
Therefore, we ask for guidance for them too.
May Allah protect us from Shaytan and his followers.
