Material Things Are Left in Dunyā

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ

(Qur’ān 03:140)

“Wa-tilka l-ayyāmu nudāwiluhā bayna n-nās“

“And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, everybody is coming and going in these days. When one finishes, another one takes his place. This is a real thing for beings. It’s the reality. Nobody will be forever in this world. Days are coming and going quickly; weeks, months, years. You look back, and suddenly find tens of years has passed.

AlhamduliLlah we are happy with this tour. Our days here end tomorrow, in shā’a Llāh, with the visit of our beloved people in this country and the many countries and cities we visited. It passes quickly. For this, we are thanking Allāh ﷻ that He ﷻ granted us to make this visit, to serve people, to help people. We are happy with this. Because these days, these years are not passing without benefit. In shā’a Llāh may Allāh ﷻ accept and help us to continue this.

This is our good thing for the next life. Many of the people whom prophets came to and told them about the next life, didn’t believe. Some of them, like the Egyptian pharaohs, maybe heard and built pyramids where they put money, clothes, they even put food for them. They put like a canoe to travel to the next life. They didn’t believe completely. Nothing from material things can be taken to the other world. Even if they put it there, there’s no benefit for it. Because it will all be rotten.

First, your body will rotten. After that, what you have from coffin and so will all become dust. When you close your eyes, nothing of this world will be yours anymore. All is for your family. Even your wife or husband won’t be your wife or husband anymore. Your money, your house everything won’t be for you anymore but for inheritance. What’s only yours is what you send to the other world from good deeds and charity you’ve done in this life.

There’s no need to tire yourself in building something to put food, gold, money inside for the next life. In the next life, there’s plenty of everything. In Paradise, there will be houses, palaces from gold, from silver, from jewelry. Paradise will be like this. So, there’s no benefit for you in not doing good things in this life. Jewels will shine like stars. Clothes, gardens, rivers; you cannot imagine how everything will be. And each time you eat food or fruit, the second time will taste even better than the first.

Of course, there’s no more death, no more illness, no more sadness. There’s only happiness in Paradise. There are rivers of milk, rivers of wine which isn’t like that in dunyā. You cannot compare that world with dunyā at all. In Paradise, there will be things that no eye has yet seen and no ear has yet heard of. Nobody can imagine Paradise. This is a very small description; maybe not even one of a million. It’s endless. You cannot imagine how beautiful it is.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave this to people who believe in Him ﷻ, thank Him ﷻ and worship Him ﷻ. Not to those worshipping another thing, worshipping what their ego likes, what shayṭān orders. Because shayṭān and his followers cheat people and show something as if it’s holy and as if it’s the order of Allāh ﷻ yet it’s not Allāh’s ﷻ order. And they say many things that cannot be acceptable to anyone who has a little bit of good thinking. So, they send people away from Paradise.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, shayṭān is the worst enemy for you. And shayṭān is trying his whole life to prevent people from the way of Allāh ﷻ. He is calling people to misery, to a bad ending, to every bad thing. He tells people, “Don’t believe. Only believe in yourself. Do what you like to do, enjoy yourself, enjoy your life. And don’t listen to any advice, to any people who want to prevent you from enjoying yourself.”

He’s happy when he makes anybody follow him. This is the utmost happiness for him. And the utmost sadness for him is if anybody comes back to the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The worst enemy for shayṭān is our ‎Prophet Sayyidinā Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

For this, we see the people who follow him are enemies for our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because he ﷺ is the most beloved for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And shayṭān is the most jealous one. That’s why, he’s giving so much effort to destroy the love to follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam in people.

And in this time, he controls most of the world. We see everywhere, his followers are multiplying more and more. These followers are the army of the Antichrist. When I was a small child, I heard about Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām and the Antichrist. My mother was telling me about him. She was saying, his army will consist of people who do not have good human relationships; they aren’t as normal people are. They will act absolutely against human nature. All of his army will be like this.

In that time, there was nothing like this. All people had good relationships. So, it was surprising to hear that. But in this time, you find hundreds and millions like this. So, everything is ready for the Antichrist. Everybody is waiting for somebody to be a leader for them. And these people are waiting for their leader, and this leader will appear when the time is finished. He will come to lead them all from around the world.

For this, we say that the time has nearly approached for the end of times. The real savior is Sayyidina Al-Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām and ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salām. When all this appears, they will appear and finish them, in shā’a Llāh. That time, there will be real peace in the whole world. Because all the bad people will follow the Antichrist and he cannot hide anymore. So, they will be finished all together.

Now everybody is waiting for this. They are hearing about this, and are waiting, asking “When?” The time is very near, but Allāh ﷻ knows how much we’ll suffer until he comes. For this, there’s no need to make problems for yourself. Be quiet and in shā’a Llāh, Allāh ﷻ saves us all. And Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām saves us, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
