Know Your Helplessness, Turn to Allāh ﷻ

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

“إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ”

(Qur’an 15:86)

“Inna Rabbaka Huwa Al-KhallāquAl-`Alīmu”

“Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is The Creator. Minds are amazed at His ﷻ dominion. The mind cannot reach these limits anyway. Even if the entire universe unite, they cannot reach not even a point of His ﷻ wisdom. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is our Majestic Lord. Mankind learns two things and thinks he is something. And he tries to be superior over people.

He ﷻ has written everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. There is one beautiful Ayah – all are beautiful but one Ayah says, Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, “مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ”, “Minhā Khalaqnākum Wa Fīhā Nu`īdukum Wa Minhā Nukhrijukum Tāratan ‘Ukhrá”, “From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.” (Qur’an 20:55).

Allāh ﷻ has created human from here, from earth, from the globe. The soil of Adam ‘alayhi s-salām was taken from here and created in paradise. After that, he returned here again. Then, people will be buried in the ground. After mankind is buried, he will be created a second time. We were all created from earth, from the globe. “We will extract them from it”, He ﷻ says. After that, we will be earth again; we will be soil.

Just as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created us first, He ﷻ will create us a second time in the same way, from earth with our flesh and bones. Then the duty on earth will be over. Then mankind will either go to heaven or hell. The earth is no longer necessary for the sons of ‘Ādam. The creation of Allāh ﷻ continues. Allāh ﷻ is the Creator. There is no rule that He ﷻ will only create us and not create anything else. He ﷻ is Al-Khallāq, which means The Creator. That creation will continue.

Our place is here. We were created from here. Mankind will go from here to ākhirah. Now there are foolish people who are cheating others. I don’t know why they are doing this. “No, we will go there. We will go to the moon.” They forgot about the moon; the moon is very close. “We will go to other planets. We will go to Mars. We will go to that planet. We will settle there.”

People don’t even want to go to a slightly difficult place on earth. You don’t have to spend that much money. It’s not a smart thing to do, but people are cheated. People are so cheated that they are confused about what will happen. What will happen? That’s what will happen. We were created from here. We will return here again to earth. Then, the second time is different.

There is no space shuttle. There is no space rocket. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will bring them all to their places in the most beautiful way. Those who belong to paradise will go to paradise. Those who belong to hell will go to hell. Those left in the middle will stand for a while then Allāh ﷻ will hold them accountable as He ﷻ wants.

So this is not something that people say, “We know” about. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives people something, He ﷻ gives them knowledge so that they see their helplessness. Some don’t see their helplessness, they go among people as if they know more. As much precious mines there are in dunyā, as much jewels there are, there are a million, a billion more in the sky. That’s what a person can’t get.

They say, “How are we going to get it? What are we going to do?” This is where it stops. Come and get it, let me see if you can get it. That means Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives us this as an example so that you may know your helplessness, so that you may return to Allāh ﷻ, so that you may return to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, so that you seek mercy and compassion from Allāh ﷻ.

He ﷻ is showing you this so that you seek forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ. But mankind is cheated very easily by shayṭān. There are some people who say they are smart. Those who claim they are smart are the ones deceived the most.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from the right way. Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created man in a way that the person who strives to make you better makes you worse. He turns you into a useless creature in every way. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created us in the most beautiful form. And the other, the shayṭān is striving to turn us into the worst possible form.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ not take our minds, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
