The Only Truth is What Allāh ﷻ Says

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

No matter how much we thank Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, it is not enough. Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla increases His ﷻ blessings as we thank Him ﷻ. So we will be both thanking and attaining material benefit.

Allah Azza wa Jalla loves the generous ones. And the Most Generous is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He ﷻ has no fear like the creatures, “It will end.” Everything is infinite. His ﷻ Kingdom is infinite and great. Mankind’s mind and imagination cannot reach it. They are doing research and striving, “The kingdom is that big. It is that much.”

But what they are working on is not even a dot. If it were a dot then it would have a limit. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, do not think about the Essence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, think about the Kingdom of Allāh ﷻ. How magnificent it is. The human mind cannot grasp this materially. Spiritually is even greater.

People think they are something, and misbehave acting without adab in front of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They say things that can never be, “It is like this and like that.” Who are you? Mind your own business so that Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla helps you. Make shukr for your situation so that everything multiplies, and becomes of more barakah. ‘وَبِالشُّكْرِ تَدُوم النَّعَم’, ‘Wa bi sh-shukri tadūmu n-ni’am’, ‘By thankfulness do blessings perpetuate.’ Blessings both perpetuate and increase, says Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Therefore, people have been deceived by shayṭān. They go on his way. They say words, they think they’re smart. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, from ‘Adam alayhi s-salām until now, billions like you have come and gone, millions have come and gone. All of them had thought just like you. But they all died, turned into earth and were gone.

In ākhirah, the winner is who is with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, who makes shukr. Therefore, we make shukr to Allāh ﷻ. We make shukr for the favor of īmān so that it may be permanent and it may it increase, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ also give people guidance, mind and understanding.

So if the majority is saying something, that is not true. What’s true is what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, what our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying. “Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.” Every time the recitation of Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n is finished, it must be said, “Allāh ﷻ is the one who speaks the truth.” Anything anyone else says is wrong; it’s false. No matter how many people think they’re right, they’re all wrong. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from falling into the wrong way. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
