Lecture on Being Ready to Fulfill Allah's Destiny

Introduction

  • Main Phrase: Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un (We belong to Allah and will return to Allah)
  • Manners as servants of Allah: Knowing and always being ready to fulfill whatever is destined by Allah.
  • Best Attitude: Saying "Oh Allah, we are ready to accept Your commands and decisions."

Life and Destiny

  • Everything in our lives, from birth to death, is regulated by Allah, including the smallest details like the number of breaths we take.
  • We cannot always prepare ourselves for what will happen in our lives.
  • Personal experience of the Sheikh: Important things happen without prior preparation, such as sudden orders to perform halwa.
  • Routine Example: Events like accidents can occur while performing daily activities.

Fajr Prayer and Readiness

  • During the fajr prayer, it's important to be ready for whatever will happen on that day, good or bad, because it is the will of Allah.
  • Believe that Allah always helps us.

Divine Emergency Number

  • Analogy: Like emergency numbers worldwide that can be contacted anytime, we also have a "divine emergency number" to Allah.
  • Contacting Allah can be done by mentioning His name or saying Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
  • Remember Allah, and He will remember us; ask for help, and Allah will help us.

Bonding with Allah

  • Purpose of Creation: To get closer to Allah.
  • Analogy: Bonding in a company vs. true bonding done by commandos on the battlefield.
  • Conclusion: Difficulties are given by Allah to strengthen bonding with us. Remember Allah or friends of Allah (Auliya), and we will also be remembered by Allah and receive help.

Closing with an Example of Hadith

  • By mentioning the names of Auliya Allah, we will receive divine support directly or indirectly.
  • Help will come, and we will feel it.

Closing

  • Words of gratitude to Allah.
  • Closing greetings from the Sheikh.
