A\u1e63-\u1e63al\u0101tu wa s-sal\u0101mu \u2018al\u00e1 Ras\u016blin\u0101 Mu\u1e25ammadin Sayyidi l-awwal\u012bna wa l-\u0101khir\u012bn. Madad y\u0101 Ras\u016bla Ll\u0101h, madad y\u0101 S\u0101d\u0101ti A\u1e63\u1e25\u0101bi Ras\u016bli Ll\u0101h, madad y\u0101 Mash\u0101yikhin\u0101, dast\u016br y\u0101 Shaykh \u2018Abdu Ll\u0101h al-F\u0101\u2019iz ad-D\u0101ghist\u0101ni, Shaykh Mu\u1e25ammad N\u0101\u1e93im al-\u1e24aqq\u0101ni. Madad. \u1e6car\u012bqatun\u0101 \u1e63-\u1e63u\u1e25bah wa l-khayru fi l-jam\u2018iyyah. <\/p>\n

All\u0101h \u2018Azza wa Jalla is saying in Qur\u02be\u0101n, Bismi Ll\u0101hi r-Ra\u1e25m\u0101ni r-Ra\u1e25\u012bm, “Wa m\u0101 l-\u1e25ay\u0101tu d-duny\u0101 ill\u0101 la\u2018ibun wa lahwun wala d-d\u0101ru l-\u0101khiratu khayrun lilladh\u012bna yattaq\u016bna afal\u0101 ta\u2018qil\u016bn.” (6:32) <\/p>\n

All\u0101h is showing this life like a game to us so that a man with brains can see it and obey All\u0101h. Mindful people realize it. All\u0101h ‘Azza wa Jalla created us like in a game and we are in this life for a period of time. All the troubles and burdens here are temporary. What do we do every day? We wake up in the morning, who prays, makes his prayers. A day passes and evening comes. And when evening comes, the day is over. What happened throughout the day? The one who made his evaluation wins – “What did I do today? Did I make a mistake? Did I do something bad?” If he did, he repents and asks for forgiveness. A servant who knows his mistake is an accepted servant. And the one who wakes up and doesn’t worship, who doesn’t recognize All\u0101h, and doesn’t know the orders of All\u0101h, and doesn’t obey them, is in loss at the end of the day. The next day passes in same manner. <\/p>\n

Every day, if we look at it roughly, every day is nearly the same. It is same for the disobedient and same for the one who obeys All\u0101h. But the difference is that for one of them the book of deeds is filled with goodness and for other, it’s filled with badness. As we said, days are the same. One day, two days, one month, two months – everything goes on in a similar manner. If you look at a year, years pass after years and your life is over – either in goodness or in badness. It’s not something hidden, All\u0101h is telling everyone clearly. You didn’t come here for eating and drinking. It’s just playing and entertaining. Because if you look, it’s repeating. And play with entertainment will be in \u0101khirah good for a good person. If someone forgets about \u0101khirah, then it’s tough for him. <\/p>\n

We are trying to do things told by All\u0101h. With All\u0101h’s permission, we are hoping for His mercy. “As much as My servant is trusting Me and trusting in My mercy, I won’t disappoint that servant of Mine. I won’t be different than he thought of Me. If he says “My merciful Lord” to Me, I will be so” says All\u0101h ‘Azza wa Jalla. And that is, as we said, to worship as much that we can. And no need for waswasa (whisperings) if it’s enough or not enough. All\u0101h will accept. All\u0101h will put us in His paradise, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. And the others, if they don’t do what All\u0101h orders, they are mindless. All\u0101h has shown the way. He showed everything. <\/p>\n

And you do it every day. It’s like a game. Same thing, every day you go to bed, wake up, eat, drink. One day is no different than another. That means everything is made the same so that we don’t waste this life and think about it. “We didn’t do anything today and today is over. Let’s do it tomorrow. Let us repent”. No, nothing again. There’s nothing like this. They wait for tomorrow in order to deceive people more, to eat and drink more, to do more badness. They wait for tomorrow every day. Then they say “This happened to me, that happened to me.” And they spend their lives without thinking about \u0101khirah. And at the end, they reach \u0101khirah in a bad condition. <\/p>\n

We ask All\u0101h for mindfulness because it is said “afal\u0101 ta\u2018qil\u016bn” (6:32). Ta\u2018qil\u016bn is use your mind, be mindful. Think, look. This is good for the one who thinks. For the one who doesn’t think, days and nights are the same. They say life is difficult, it’s boring etc. Because they are faithless people and they suffer from their punishment in duny\u0101 before \u0101khirah. We ask for mindfulness from All\u0101h. <\/p>\n

All\u0101h (awj) He said about this life it is like a play. O people this life it is like a theatre, like a play. Be careful, be clever, thinking, He said. And it is real like this, because everyday same like next day. First day, people…. there’s two kinds of people, both of them sleep but believer they wake up, praying and worshipping. Daytime they’re working and also worshipping thinking about All\u0101h. Nighttime, when they are before sleeping, they are thinking for what they’ve….if anything wrong they’ve done in this day. If they’ve done anything they ask for forgiveness from All\u0101h. Other people they just wake up thinking about eating and drinking. Whole day not thinking at all about worshipping or about Lord, the Creator. To praise Him, to thank Him, they are not thinking at all about this. <\/p>\n

When nighttime coming also, drinking, doing bad thing. After they are sleeping next day – for both of them there’s next day. It is same, days one day, another day same, so for this it is like theatre, like a play. Next week, another week, another month, all our life – if you look from far, it is same. Not much difference, you’re just sleeping, eating, waking up. After again sleeping, day coming like this. Until, we finish our life, now theatre is finished, you come to ask, who was with his Lord All\u0101h, the day it was full with good things? When they’re in the Presence of All\u0101h, they will be happy. All\u0101h accept what they’ve done. Even small thing, He accepts. He said “I am in, like good hope what My servant, was thinking about Me. I am in his good thinking.” So al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, all forgiven. <\/p>\n

But other people they are not thinking at all. Just day and life, what they are doing is waking up to make bad things. Daytime they are making bad thing, nighttime they are making worse than daytime. It is like this, one day, two days, three days. For this, the non-believer people, they are saying about life it is boring, it is too much, it is, “we don’t know what to do.” Because for them it is same, no difference. No benefit, no aim for them. But for believer, there is aim al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h. Today we live we are thanking our Lord All\u0101h He give us our food, our drink, our health, our wealth and He, al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h today we will worship Him to get more near from Him. Next day also al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h, we are still in life and in good health, we must, we are happy. Next month same. Other year, also same. <\/p>\n

All life we are happy for what All\u0101h give us, and He give us long life to be obey for Him and to worship Him. There is reason, there is aim, there is good result for believer. But for other in this duny\u0101 also they are not happy and other duny\u0101 it will be worse.
\nSo al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h we are thanking All\u0101h for what He give us. And ask more blessings, more baraka, more happiness for you, all of us, in sh\u0101’a Ll\u0101h.<\/p>\n

Wa min All\u0101hi t-tawf\u012bq, al-F\u0101ti\u1e25ah. <\/p>\n
