The Month of Repentance and Barakah

“May Shahru Ramadan, the month of Ramadan be Mubarak. It started today insha’Allah. We started Tarawih last night. And today we started fasting, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. May the Barakah of this holy month be upon us. Hardships will be gone insha’Allah with the Barakah of this holy month. May there be relief for people insha’Allah, because big disasters occurred this year.

Everything has a wisdom. No one can go against the will of Allah ﷻ. Everyone has to surrender to fate. He ﷻ takes and He ﷻ gives. He ﷻ creates, He ﷻ takes [in death] and He ﷻ keeps alive. Everything is in the Hand of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Therefore, believers must always submit to Allah ﷻ. “أسلم تسلم”, “Aslim Taslam” – Submit and you will be safe. If you rebel – do so as much as you want, you cannot do anything. Can ants do anything? And people are probably weaker than ants. They say everything is tied by a cotton thread. We are like that.

Therefore, may Allah ﷻ give Barakah in this beautiful month. May Allah ﷻ give safety of Iman to people. May their Iman be safe. As long as Iman is strong, the rest is not important. Because no one can go against the will of Allah ﷻ. You must make Dua so that Allah ﷻ protects you. You cannot attain anything by rebelling against Allah ﷻ. With Dua, Allah ﷻ protects you, He ﷻ guards you, He ﷻ gives you Barakah and victory. He ﷻ gives all kinds of goodness. Otherwise, may Allah ﷻ protect us, you cannot cope with it.

This holy month is the month of repentance. We repent for the sins and mistakes we have made. We worship as much as we can. We ask that Allah ﷻ accepts it. May it be good insha’Allah and full of Barakah. We started this month today. And in a blink of an eye, you will realize that it is over. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ let us spend this month with Barakah and virtue insha’Allah. May it be so upon all the Ummah of Islam insha’Allah.

The world is boiling everywhere in Muslim and non-Muslim countries. There is no comfort in this world. But to those who are together with Allah ﷻ there is peace. May Allah ﷻ give that peace to us insha’Allah. May He ﷻ give us happiness here and hereafter insha’Allah. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.”
