A Rule to Learn After Adab

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

‘الخير في ما اختاره الله’

‘Goodness is in what Allāh ﷻ has chosen.’

This is the first thing our ṭarīqah people must learn after Adab. Whatever happens, this is what Allāh ﷻ chose for us. And it is the best thing. Of course, it is just easy to say it like this, but to be acting upon this saying is not easy but difficult. If you accept this, you will surrender and not make a problem for yourself.

This is what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying for the whole world, especially for Kings and Czars in the letters he ﷺ sent them. He ﷺ was saying, “أسلم تسلم”, “Aslim Taslam,” “Submit, you’ll find peace.” When the one ruling people (the head) accepts this, all of his country will be safe, happy and blessed.

For this, they were spreading this rule around, as much as they can. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the ṣaḥābah and after them the believers were trying to spread this rule around the world. They teach this to save people from oppression, from bad people and to save them from a bad end. They try hard to save people. This is Islām: what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says. And we are following this with ṭarīqah and Sufi way.

Islām is the religion of Allāh ﷻ. And the religion, of course, of all prophets. All prophets are in Islām. Of course, they say Jewish, they say Christian, they say other things; but the real religion is Islām. Islām means to accept what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. And they are spreading this because this is what human beings are in need of; like food, like drink, like air. What’s even more important than these things is to accept and surrender to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, to accept everything coming from Him ﷻ.

However, they are showing Islām badly, especially in Europe, everywhere we go. They have an image of Islām that it is a very violent religion, and it doesn’t accept human beings’ rights. But those who are saying this about Islām are hypocrites. Why are they saying this? Because they are following their egos. Whatever their ego likes, they are doing. After that, they are covering this and attacking Muslims and Islām.

And they have the biggest cover, blanket to cover their crimes, their hypocrisy and every bad thing they do and is done. They are covering it all with this big blanket of lies. And this is a very heavy blanket; poor people cannot take it off their heads. But in the end, this cover, blanket will be taken off, reality will be shown and everyone will accept it and be happy, in shā’a Llāh.

Of course, as we said, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does everything. When the time comes, all this will be gone and it will open as light again. In shā’a Llāh we believe and accept this. And in shā’a Llāh, we are praying for this cover to open and for people to get happiness, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
