هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
صدق الله العظيم
Allah, the Most High and the Omnipotent, questions if the learned and the ignorant are on par. They are indeed not.
Every Muslim is obligated to pursue knowledge.
Knowledge is boundless.
We ought to make an effort to garner as much knowledge as possible.
We must learn the correct way to pray, fast, and distribute our Zakat. These are essential duties for all Muslims.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to keep expanding our knowledge and be part of educational gatherings.
Examples of such educational gatherings include suhbahs, sermons, lectures, presentations, and more.
By continuously seeking knowledge throughout our lives, we fulfill our commitment to learning.
Acquisition of knowledge and the act of learning is an obligation.
Don't limit yourself with ignorance by stating that you don't know. Instead, make it your mission to learn new things continuously. Aim to pursue knowledge your entire life, Inshallah.
We must strive to gather knowledge, gradually and extensively, for the welfare in this life and the hereafter, courtesy of Allah's grace.
In instances where people lack understanding or knowledge, it is incumbent upon us to share our knowledge and understanding with them for their benefit.
However, given that not everyone possesses the same understanding, refrain from sharing information that neither you nor your audience fully comprehend.
For instance, some insights or explanations provided by eminent scholars and saints might be beyond the understanding of some individuals.
It is not your responsibility to convey information that others may fail to comprehend.
By attempting to do good, you might end up causing harm by sharing incomprehensible information.
This might lead to misinterpretations.
Consequently, their efforts might be futile.
You will be held accountable for their actions. Any sins originating from this will be attributed to you.
That's why Sheikh Nazim often discouraged those wishing to read the books of Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi, only encouraging it in select cases.
The knowledge within the works of Ibn al-Arabi is not something everyone can comprehend. In fact, even scholars, who are the intended readers, only occasionally implement ibn al-Arabi's teachings.
Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi is Sheikh-ul-Akbar, one of the great sheikhs.
He is universally renowned for his miracles, and universally accepted.
Discouraging the reading of al-Arabi's books in certain instances is not a criticism. It merely implies that his knowledge is profound and not everyone will understand it, potentially causing confusion.
Sheikh-ul-Akbar, Sheikh Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi, serves just as an example. There are many other domains that contain knowledge as profound as his.
Every now and then, people learn and impart knowledge that they themselves do not comprehend fully. This leads to ambiguous explanations, thereby leading their audience astray.
They incite unnecessary actions among those they teach.
The Sheikh takes on the responsibility and fulfills it by disseminating knowledge that the people can understand and put into practice.
The Sheikh imparts knowledge to everyone step by step, in alignment with their individual capacity to understand and absorb.
Refrain from involving in matters beyond your comprehension.
Focus on your strengths and the subjects you understand.
We are incapable of fulfilling Allah's commands perfectly.
It's indeed a challenge.
Even if we make an effort to comply with everything flawlessly, we invariably fall short.
Therefore, we must consistently seek Allah's help and forgiveness.
Both humility and persistence are qualities we can all demonstrate.
Allah does not demand from anyone what is beyond their capacity.
It suffices that you comply with what Allah expects of you.
Allah's Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness are limitless.
We must recognize this.
May Allah forgive us all, inshallah.

Some things are halal, or allowed.
However, within these allowed things, there's something that Allah, Glorious and Mighty, dislikes: divorce.
It is better for people to maintain their marital bonds.
Religious law does allow for divorce.
Islam differs from modified forms of Allah's teachings, like those adopted in Christianity or Judaism.
In these belief systems, divorce is often deemed forbidden.
They have morphed the religion to match their personal perspectives.
This leads to the assertion that divorce is not allowed.
However, as per the law of Allah, bestowed upon us, divorce is allowed. Yet, it remains something that Allah, Glorious and Mighty, abhors.
Despite being permitted by Allah, divorce is an action that brings Him displeasure.
Allah, Glorious and Mighty, desires that families remain intact.
People should interact in a non-hostile manner, living together in harmony and love.
Interpersonal compatibility is vital.
Divorce brings about pain and suffering, particularly for the children involved.
Current generations seem to lack patience.
People get married and then apply for divorce just a few months later because they cannot coexist harmoniously.
Before marriage, one leads a single life. With marriage, another person becomes a part of your life. This invites a phase of necessary mutual adaptation.
However, people aren't willing to afford each other the chance to adapt. They often resort to divorce without giving each other time to adjust.
People jump to divorce hastily.
They claim they had disagreements.
They say it didn’t work out.
Marriage isn't like buying a car. You can't just decide, "I don’t like this one. I’ll get a new one."
Allah, Glorious and Mighty, designed us as human beings.
The next person you wish to marry will also be a human, with flaws just like everyone else.
The key to shared living is patience.
Often, people don’t even have patience with themselves.
This complicates their ability to have patience with others.
Marriage demands patience and shouldn’t be swayed by personal moods.
Women should have patience with their husbands, and husbands should do the same with their wives.
At times, you’ll need to say yes and at times, no.
Simply put, not everything can be perfect.
At times, things will go the way you wish.
Other times, they will not.
Do what is possible.
However, if both parties insist on, or expect, the impossible, the eventual result is divorce.
A lack of understanding between partners ultimately leads to something that displeases Almighty Allah.
The ones affected by this are primarily the children.
If no children are involved, a divorce may seem somewhat simpler. However, it still isn't the ideal outcome.
Even though a couple may have been familiar with each other long before marriage, things take a turn after the wedding and they stop getting along.
After the marriage, the devil exerts additional pressures.
The devil uses these pressures to instigate discord with the primary aim of separating people and making them enemies.
The devil's goal is to destroy human relationships.
Don’t succumb to the devil or your ego. Before marriage, it’s crucial to understand the family background, character, and habits of your potential partner. It’s about making a decision, and then sticking to it, throughout life, without significant disputes or disagreements, and coexisting harmoniously.
In the past, families used to know each other.
While this may not always be the case today, it's still essential to learn about the environment and background of the other person.
Ask questions like: What is their family like? What are their negative points? What are their positive points? You should not be faced with startling revelations after marriage that you had no inkling of beforehand.
Sometimes, previously unknown matters surface.
These can often lead to divorce.
May Allah keep relationships healthy.
People in this age are significantly different.
The people of yesteryears were far more patient.
They had a better ability to coexist peacefully.
People today lack patience and tolerance.
Individuals often take issue with minor things.
Divorces are sought over issues that scarcely amount to a tiny fig seed.
May Allah keep all relationships in good health.
May Allah protect us all.
Marriage is a very vital institution.
In Islam, marriage is the paramount institution.
It is the family that holds together the fabric of society.
May Allah protect us all.
May He safeguard us from the harm of the devil and the distortions of the ego.
May people live in great harmony with each other.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
And to Allah belongs the outcome of all matters.
In the end, everything will, by Allah's permission, return to Him. Everyone, according to Allah's decree, will ultimately stand before Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, both those who are with Him and those who are against Him.
But people never think about this.
We pray for a good outcome in all matters.
With a bad outcome, a person will receive retribution for all things they have done in this world and pay a high price.
People are impatient and they do not look at things with wisdom.
One must view everything that happens with wisdom, for indeed, there are both difficulties and ease in life.
Yet life's difficulties are not worth turning into a cause for sadness.
Focus on what will be in the end. May the end be good. That's the most important thing.
Everything we experience, including our time in this world, will come to an end.
A life that ends well is a life that has achieved salvation.
It is a happy life.
Regardless of the difficulties one faces in the world, there are rewards for these troubles, for those who follow Allah's path.
For those who do not follow Allah's path, there are no blessings to be gained from life's difficulties.
For someone not following Allah's path, there is only harm and loss under any circumstances.
In life, there are times of difficulty.
In the end, what matters is whether you were able to maintain your faith and achieve salvation. If so, then it's time to express gratitude to Allah.
If you were able to keep your faith and achieve redemption at the end of things, then praise Allah.
By showing gratitude, praise and devotion, you demonstrate your faith and belief in Allah.
However, he who rebels against Allah, will not benefit from life's difficulties nor gain any blessing in the Hereafter.
So, concentrate on the end and results of matters.
May the end of all our affairs be a good one, Allah willing.

Most people these days are complaining that they feel oppressed and constricted.
People burden themselves with all sorts of things.
It is from this burdening that the feeling of oppression and distress emerges.
People burden themselves because they are too involved with the world.
The more you think about the world, the more it burdens you.
With each additional thought about the world, you feel worse and worse.
People constantly worry: "I still have to finish this task; I still have to achieve that."
Or people put themselves under pressure to perform: "I must work harder to get ahead."
Even when people find peace and sit together, they only talk about worldly matters.
The more you talk about worldly matters, the more you burden yourself.
Sheikh Nazim, therefore, recommended not listening to worldly things too often.
Worldly talk only leads to more burden.
If you want to free yourself from your burden and oppression, then join the company of those people who live for the hereafter.
Try to be with those who live for the hereafter.
Worldly matters only bring darkness into your life.
Worldliness brings darkness and sorrow.
On the other hand, the human soul rejoices when it comes to the afterlife.
When a person turns to the afterlife, the soul becomes content and happy.
Worldly conversations will never satisfy you.
Worldly conversations usually end with people complaining about others and wanting to impose their problems on others.
These negative conversations burden a person and make those who can't handle them particularly sad.
Worldly talk leads to nothing good.
If you are seeking peace and tranquility, then turn to the afterlife.
Follow Allah's path. Follow the path of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
Read and listen to the life stories of the Prophets, their companions, and the holy saints. Take their lives as examples.
When the names of the Prophets, companions, and holy saints are mentioned, Allah sends down his mercy, so you feel inner peace.
But if you look at those who cling to the world, and you solely focus on how much money they make, what their job is, how they managed to get rich, you plunge yourself into darkness and burden yourself.
Therefore, thank Allah, for there is nothing happier for a person than to be a Muslim.
Beware of those who instrumentalize religion for their own profit and do not guide you rightly.
Such misguided and misleading people have always existed.
There is no compulsion in Islam.
Islam is there to save people.
Its purpose is to bestow happiness upon people, both in this world and in the hereafter.
Islam brings beauty and joy to the places where it is practiced.
Islam beautifies both the worldly life and the life hereafter.
Nowadays, all people in this world are forced into a mould.
People have turned exclusively towards this world.
People are not looking at their afterlife.
Therefore, the whole world is in sorrow and sadness.
May Allah guide people so that they can see the beauty of faith, Allah willing.

وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ ٱلْأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى ٱ لْمَلَـٰٓ ئِكَةِ
صدق الله العظيم
Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, taught Adam, Peace be upon him, everything.
The knowledge of Adam's children comes from Adam, Peace be upon him.
Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, taught him everything.
Through him, human beings learned all types of knowledge, both external and internal.
All forms of knowledge trace back to our great grandfather Adam, the first prophet and the first man.
He taught all forms of knowledge, be it mathematics or any other science.
It is claimed that humans learned these things by chance.
People nowadays think they have invented the sciences themselves.
No, the knowledge was already there with Adam.
Allah Almighty has given everything its time and place, including knowledge.
Adam, Peace be upon him, taught the first human the basics of knowledge.
In course of time, humans opened and keep opening new doors of knowledge.
Humans keep learning.
New realizations always come, leading to new knowledge.
Before Allah, knowledge has no end.
There is no end of knowledge.
Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, has gifted us with the ability to gain knowledge.
For example, it's known that humans burn in fire and drown in water.
But in addition to humans, there are also other creatures.
Jinn were created from fire.
Jinns are not harmed by fire.
Furthermore, there are many living beings that live in the sea or the airs.
The creations of Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, are endless.
Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, always creates.
Human is not the end of Allah's creation.
People ask: Are there living beings in space?
In the Almighty Allah's creation, there is everything.
Knowledge is only ever revealed when it is permitted.
Knowledge has its prerequisites.
For all knowledge, there is a right place and a right time.
The knowledge is in the presence of Allah.
The source of knowledge is Allah, the Exalted and Mighty.
The knowledge that Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, has given to mankind is but a tiny particle.
Even this tiny particle of knowledge leads to arrogance, so that people boast about it.
Strive for knowledge that brings you closer to Allah, the Exalted and Mighty; that is true knowledge!
The knowledge that reveals to you the omnipotence and majesty of Allah is knowledge.
The knowledge of those who do not know what they are doing, but who still do something and then claim it for themselves and instruct people by saying: "Do this, do that", is not knowledge.
This is not knowledge, but deception.
Knowledge comes from the Prophets.
All types of knowledge come from the Prophets.
Whatever you can imagine, from weaving to agriculture to medicine, everything comes from the Prophets.
The first Prophet was Adam, peace be upon him, then Seth, Idris, peace be upon him, and so the knowledge continued with every subsequent Prophet.
The Prophets taught knowledge to mankind.
Knowledge is something that is time-bound and revealed gradually.
We are now in the end times and are experiencing how knowledge is revealing itself rapidly.
What man learned in a thousand years before, he learns today in one year.
This is a wisdom of Allah.
The rapid increase in knowledge is a sign of the end times; the end of the world is near.
It is now the time that all this knowledge becomes manifest.
Today's level of knowledge was intended for today's era.
May Allah not lead us astray.
May Allah not give us knowledge that leads us astray.
May Allah grant us true knowledge.

Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, has beloved servants.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ
صدق الله العظيم
They are Allah's beloved servants.
For them there is no fear, no sadness.
Likewise, there is no fear or sadness for those who are with them.
They are the faithful ones.
Faithful is someone who never behaves treacherously or wickedly towards people.
They are people who pay attention to their promises and keep them.
Their master is our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
They follow his path.
This path teaches people to become human.
What is a human?
A human is a creature that Allah the Almighty has created and given the ability to reach the highest honors.
If they follow this path, they will be people accepted by Allah.
Their path is the path of salvation, the path of happiness.
They do not mourn the worldly.
They lead people on the correct path.
They are a great blessing for those who are with them.
Their blessing is both in this world and in the Hereafter.
The paths of the Prophets and the Companions of the Prophets involve spreading light to the entire world.
They bring ease and comfort to people, and guide them from the darkness into the light.
That is their path.
Those who serve them should know that they do not ask anyone for help.
Their claim is that they serve people themselves.
Their services involve showing people the correct path.
It brings great blessings for those who are with them and assist them in the name of Allah.
This blessing will reach both them and their ancestors, families and relatives.
This is the way of the saints.
The way of Allah is the way of mercy:
Being merciful to people and serving them.
Those who serve are served in return.
If someone performs a single service for Allah, Allah will give him a hundred thousand in return.
The blessing of this is great for those who understand it.
Those who understand and are with them will be happy.
The path of all the saints is one.
"This one is so, that one is different."
No, such discrimination does not exist.
Indeed, they are Allah's beloved servants.
Their benefits are for the good of humankind.
Their blessings are for all of humanity.
Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says:
بهم تمترون ويهم تنسرون
Rain comes to you for their sake.
Victory will be yours for their sake.
Your livelihood in this world comes for their sake.
Allah the Almighty sends all food, victory, rain and all kinds of goodness to the world for their sake.
It comes through them.
They are a blessing for all of humanity.
Allah's gifts are not simply products of this world, but all are gifts sent down to us in honor of his Beloved.
Allah the Mighty and Sublime gifts us, out of love for them.
May Allah continue their services.
May Allah be pleased with them.
Even if they have passed onto the hereafter, their services will be even greater.
May none of us be separated from their threshold.

Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, beautifully says in the Quran (99:7,8): No matter how much good a person does, he will experience its goodness and rewards. Even the smallest actions are not overlooked; they will undoubtedly return to you, says Allah, the Almighty and Majestic. However, those who commit injustice will face punishment. Regardless of the extent of their transgressions, they will surely see their just punishment. Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, also gives us guidance on how to avoid such punishments. While you are still alive and your body can still breathe, you ask for forgiveness, then Allah will accept your repentance. But once the soul has left the body, you have no more breath and you can no longer do anything, then repentance is no longer possible and the punishment is inevitable. Therefore, as long as we are in this world, it is important to reflect on our deeds and sins that we have committed in this world. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recommended that we say "AstaghfiruLlah" seventy or a hundred times a day and ask Allah for forgiveness. I too recite "AstaghfiruLlah," said the Prophet, peace be upon him. Even though he himself was free from sin and all guilt, he would say "AstaghfiruLlah" seventy times a day! By asking Allah for forgiveness 70 times, 100 times or more every day, we wash ourselves clean of sins and free ourselves from this burden. Allah commands in the majestic Qur'an: Even the smallest sin carried over to the hereafter, as small as an atom, will bear its punishment. Similarly, no good deed goes to waste. Even if your deed is as small as an atom, Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, will reward it. He will not ignore your actions. Today, a general state of thoughtlessness and misdirection overshadows our world. Many people lack the ability to think and understand. As a result, they are easily drawn to frivolous and dangerous ventures. Allah warns: "Do not put yourselves in danger!" But people rebelliously undermine his words. People are blinded by their own folly and see it as a sign of superiority to oppose Allah, deny Him, fight religion and leave. May Allah protect from this, but those who do not turn away from such actions and repent will face eternal damnation in Hell. Even if you miss your religious duties, there is still hope for a way out. However, if people make the mistake of completely abandoning their faith, then they will undoubtedly experience the consequences in the afterlife.

There is a blessed saying, whether it is a hadith or the words of a venerable righteous one, I cannot say with certainty. However, it is often referred to as a hadith. The saying goes: "Everyone will easily find what they were created for." This is a blessed phrase, because there is wisdom in each of Allah's works. Every thing, every task, has its purpose. This task should be fulfilled and completed, always according to the will of Allahﷻ. Most of the saints do not ask about this wisdom, they do not question the why, the how, or whether it is good or bad. They know that everything comes from Allahﷻ and strive to see things from the perspective of wisdom. If they cannot recognize this wisdom, they say: "Allahﷻ knows wisdom" and do not think about it any further. Let's look at the current situation worldwide: there is so much evil, so many bad people. More bad than good, more bad than good. Yet everything was created with a wisdom that only Allahﷻ knows. Both good and evil serve as a test. Of course, there are certain things that we as humans reject because they are against Allahﷻ, against us humans, Muslims, believers and every living being. As Muslims, we do not agree when suffering is inflicted. But again, we know that there is an underlying wisdom that only Allahﷻ knows. We must learn not to interfere and accept the world as it is, good and bad. If we cannot change the bad, we should at least condemn it in our hearts and not approve of it. This is particularly important for people in general as well as adherents of the tarikat and anyone who identifies as a Muslim. Because knowing this makes us acceptable in the sight of Allahﷻ. Anyone who doesn't understand this and raises objections will lose their reward and their path. Most of the things that happen in the world are evil in nature. Sometimes it can be good to talk about it without understanding the wisdom behind it, sometimes it's not good. Because often everything is not as we see it: what people often think is good can be bad, and what they think is bad can be good - that is Allah's wisdom. A believer should always try to stay away from such things, from temptations, and not to act carelessly. As Sheikh Nazim said, the one who stays at home is safe inshallah. May Allahﷻ protect us. There are many different forms of wisdom, as mentioned earlier. One should never claim that Allahﷻ created something for a reason. Allahﷻ created with His wisdom. We must not interfere with Allah's work. Everything has its order and its rules. Anything can happen and anything must happen. There must be evil as well as good. Sometimes evil prevails, only to disappear again and make room for good. This is Allah's order, His rule. It's better for us if we don't interfere. As we have already said, people often act without knowledge and see evil as good and good as evil. May Allahﷻ protect us from this.

As we already said yesterday, Islam prescribes various commandments. Some of them can change depending on the situation or are subject to certain conditions. One of these commandments, which was issued during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, was the order to migrate from Mecca to Medina. Everyone should follow this command. Of course, the Meccan idolaters did not let them go easily. They did not allow their migration. Those who managed to migrate did so either in secret or they were strong enough to not let it be prevented. They were able to leave. The poor or weak on the other hand had to stay. But the migration was the command of Allah. This command remained in force until Mecca was conquered. With the conquest of Mecca al-Mukarramah, this commandment was abolished. The migration was no longer obligatory. When will migration be permissible again. When people are forced to migrate, that is: when they are driven out by the enemy or their faith is in danger. In this situation, migration is then allowed and they will receive rewards for it in the Afterlife. Not to migrate to escape the difficulties of this world, but to preserve faith and protect one's Afterlife. Reasons for migration are hence: to protect faith, language, and honor. Allah ﷻ rewards them for this. If you are forced to abandon your faith, then it is permissible to migrate in order to flee this situation for the protection of your faith. As long as your faith is not in danger and you can preserve it, you can stay. But most people often become extremely brutal. They have no respect for humanity, nor are they capable of compassion or mercy. That's why migration can be appropriate in some situations. The actual migration of Muslims was the one during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. It was a command. They all had to go. Thanks to Allah, they were able to return to their homeland ten years later. Nowadays, where Muslims worldwide are cornered and under pressure, one should always remember: In the end, Allah ﷻ wins. The devil and his followers will always be the losers in the end. As Sheikh Nazim said, the devil and his followers think they have won. But in the end, they will see that they have achieved nothing. They have lost everything. They have no share in good, neither in this world nor in the Afterlife. The oppressors will be punished. Oppression does not come from Allah ﷻ. People oppress themselves and no one else. If they oppress others, Allah ﷻ will punish them. They must bear the consequences of their actions. May Allah be with us ﷻ, in sha Allah. May Allah ﷻ protect the Muslims. When we look at the world, we see that oppression is everywhere. Now, at the end of times, the situation is such that nothing other than oppression exists. Not a bit of justice remains. In the past, people were still deceived. Now, they don't even make that effort anymore. They have become completely ruthless: “We don't need any apparent justification. We simply oppress them. Let people do something if they can." Everything in the end is in the hands of Allah ﷻ. He ﷻ will surely hold those accountable.

The commands of Allah ﷻ are the most important for Muslims. The five pillars of Islam: The profession of faith and prayer, fasting, Zakat, and pilgrimage.
These are the things that Allah ﷻ commands the Muslims.
These commands must be done.
As a Muslim, everyone must fast and pray.
Everyone is obliged to fulfill the duty of prayer and fasting. It is an indispensable command.
For those who do not fulfill this duty, there is a punishment in the afterlife.
Those who have not fulfilled these duties will be held accountable in the afterlife and they must settle what they avoided in this world in the afterlife.
Fasting and prayer are the unchangeable basic duties for every Muslim.
There are prerequisites for Zakat and pilgrimage.
To be able to fulfill Zakat or undertake the pilgrimage, the necessary financial means are required.
For those who have no money, the profession of faith, prayer, and fasting are their unavoidable obligations.
Anyone who has enough money is of course obliged to pay their Zakat.
Anyone who has even more money is obliged to perform the pilgrimage.
These are the commands of Islam with their prioritizations.
There are also other commands.
However, the fulfillment of these commands presupposes the fulfillment of certain conditions.
Before this type of commands can be executed, the basic conditions must be met first.
These conditions must be met first.
So there are certain commands that you cannot carry out at your own discretion.
In these cases, one should not act at one's own discretion.
If action is taken at one's own discretion in these cases, then you will suffer harm yourself, as well as the Muslims in general.
We live in the end times and things are happening that greatly oppress people.
Injustice is everywhere. Islam is being attacked everywhere.
What should we do? There are people who are calling for Jihad.
Jihad is indeed a command, but there are basic prerequisites that must be fulfilled before Jihad can be declared.
If you say, I will carry out Jihad on my own, you will either be intercepted prematurely, shot, and eliminated.
In the end, you would only involve everyone else.
You think you would be helpful, but damage is being done.
Jihad is one of the most beautiful commands of Allah ﷻ.
But as we said, you cannot carry out a Jihad on your own.
Jihad requires a Sultan and his call for Jihad.
Only with the command of the Sultan can a Jihad be declared.
There is no other way.
Acting at one's own discretion in this matter brings no benefit at all.
Allah commands not to put yourself in danger.
If you put yourself in danger, you are opposing the command of Allah ﷻ.
Allah's command ﷻ is clear.
There is a Jihad that you can lead.
The greatest Jihad is to fight against your own ego.
Resist your ego. Educate your base self.
The fight against yourself is also Jihad.
Otherwise, we can only help with our prayers.
Prayer is the weapon of the believer.
With the permission of Allah ﷻ, prayer accomplishes what canons and guns cannot achieve.
Prayers stop their bombs.
Prayers disarm their weapons.
Allah ﷻ has created Islam in a perfect way.
If the Muslims truly followed Islam, nothing would happen to them.
They would be at peace themselves and so would others.
But the Muslims are not following the commands of Islam and therefore they suffer all kinds of evils.
Terrible events and evil people are tormenting the Muslims as a consequence.
What are these religious commands?
The commands of the religion come from our Prophet ﷺ.
The commands of the religion mean to follow the way of our Prophet ﷺ.
Whoever follows his path will be saved.
There is no other path to salvation.
Praise to Allah ﷻ. On the path of our Prophet ﷺ, there are glad tidings.
At the end of times, Mahdi, peace be upon him, will appear and Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend from heaven.
Currently, the whole world is full of injustice and wrongdoing.
Mahdi and Jesus, peace be upon them, will restore justice.
There will be no more injustice in the world.
Now we clearly see that there is no more justice.
Lies reign all over the world. Their deceptions have now come to light.
No one can be believed or trusted anymore.
For a long time they have been deceiving people, this or that country is just and has democracy.
Everyone would be able to get everything, they said.
Nobody would be wronged. Nothing would happen to anyone.
Everything turned out to be a lie.
The injustice reached its climax.
Allah commands that these lies will reach their climax, but shortly afterwards they will be destroyed.
After the climax comes the fall.
And falling means the end.
After the lies have reached their climax, they will disappear, Allah willing.
People must be patient and pray. The believers should pray for Allah ﷻ to send Mehdi and Jesus, peace be upon them, as soon as possible.
May Allah send Mehdi, peace be upon him. He is the commander who will eradicate hypocrisy, disbelief, Allahlessness, evil, wickedness, tyranny, and all evil and cleanse them.
Everything will be flawless, Allah willing.
There is no other salvation.
Nothing else is of any use.
May Allah ﷻ help Muslims.
May Allah ﷻ soon send us Mahdi, peace be upon him, Allah willing.
