Accept It as a Blessing

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Allah ﷻ says:

يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ

‘He does what He wills.’ (Qur’ān 03:40).

Allah ﷻ does what He wants. No one can prevent Him. No one can tell Allah ﷻ to do this or that. Everything happening is by the will of Allah. 

‘الخير في ما وقع’

‘Goodness is in what has happened’.

It has already happened, so we cannot do anything. We have to accept it and ask for help from Allah ﷻ. There is no other solution. Mankind does not understand and cannot accept this. They want to solve it and are struggling for it. 

Whatever happens, a Muslim should be pleased with it. As long as you are with Allah ﷻ, every condition is easy. You have to be with Allah ﷻ in any condition; hardship and ease, happiness and sadness. If you don’t forget Allah ﷻ, everything is easy for you. And if you forget Allah ﷻ, everything is difficult.

It is holy Ramadan now. People are away from Dunyā in order to be closer to Allah ﷻ.

If you see it as favor from Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will give back more and with multiple blessings for everything you think you’ve lost. 

Everything will be more and better.

Don’t stay idle. Read Qur’an.

The one who does not know how to read Qur’an, learn it slowly. A man can learn how to read Qur’an in a week. If he tries, he can read in fifteen days; he will be ready to read the Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan.

Make Tasbihat and pray the missed prayers.

Who can make Iʿtikāf may do so.

It is an opportunity, so you should not misuse it [for bad things] but use it for goodness. Do good things and you’ll have ease.

People are bored and exhausted. Why are they so? Because they don’t remember Allah ﷻ.

If they remember Allah ﷻ, they won’t be bored and they won’t be scared.

Most people are depressed now; there’s no need for it. The one who believes and trusts in Allah ﷻ, never fears death or sickness. 

Whatever is meant to happen, if Allah ﷻ wants it to come, you cannot prevent it.

If it’s not meant to happen, you can interact with a thousand infected people, nothing will happen to you. Fire will not burn you, just as Sayyidina Ibrahim (AS). 

Therefore, our advice is to be with Allah ﷻ.

It is a holy month and a blessed month.

Not harm but beauty comes from it, Allah ﷻ willing.

May Allah ﷻ make these sufferings of people [to be] means to strengthen their Iman. May it not go for nothing.

Some people are going wilder and more rebellious. This happens [in order] for Muslims to be closer to Allah insha’Allah. 

May Allah help us. May Allah protect us from all evil and illnesses.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. 

Al-Fatiha.
