BE ALERT AND DO NOT TRUST

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani.

Allah Azza wa Jalla states, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim:

فَاْحَذُرواْ “Fah’tharu.” (Sura Ma’ida:41) “Be careful,” He says. A Muslim needs to look at

everything carefully and pay attention to the things he does. He needs to be careful who he is walking with and who he is going around with. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He says: “Do not trust the world’s state and do not trust everyone!” Be alert! Because most people go after someone thinking he is good or loving him, or something happens and he thinks to himself, “He is good.” Whereas he could be using this beautiful path granted by Allah to fool people. That is why we need to be careful.

It is not good running after everyone and every incident thinking, “He is Muslim. They are alright.” It is alright if they are people benefiting Islam and going on the path of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Many people have come out saying, “No, that is old. We can do better now.” And people, especially educated people, are running after them. Not so much with uneducated people. They say, “It beats me. I go on the path that I know.” This is more acceptable. The others need to be careful. Allah Azza wa Jalla tells us to “Be careful!” Our Holy Prophet (SAW) also tells us to “Be careful and be on the safe side first.”

Do not go after everybody like that. In fact, a Muslim needs to be wakeful. However, the situation seen now is terrible already, and people immediately run after a man who claims to be Muslim, then they mess it up around and are regretful. Allah Azza wa Jalla tells us from the start: “Be careful! Do not trust!” Obey what Allah says. Walk on the path your ancestors have walked. The books written by and shown by the scholars of those times were written with sincerity. We need to follow them. We need to read them.

Now, a new one comes out and we ask, “I wonder what sort of a man he is?” Most who come out write from their ego because they are not attached somewhere. Because they are not attached somewhere, they write some things to satisfy their ego or to make money.

It is harmful for those who read it too. Our Shaykh Mawlana (QS) would always say: “When you do not like something, do not look at it and do not read it!” Because it poisons the person. Books written without sincerity poison people.

He says, “Do not look at someone who said such and such on TV.” He can talk to himself as much as he wants there. He talks himself and hears himself. Therefore, this matter needs attention. We are in times of dissension (fitna). In End Times Muslims should not think everything they see is good. It is times of fitna now. There is a lot of fitna. We need to be careful! May Allah not deviate us from the right path, and may He protect us from the evils of these people.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
