And may peace and blessings be upon the prophet, his family, his companions, and the ones that follow his path.
My Beloved in Allah, I ask Allah the all Mighty to gather us under the shade of His throne when there's no other shade except His. I ask him to make us rightly guided. And to give us the light that make us walk amongst people on the right path.
My beloved,
The case of "Yaqeen" (i.e. Certainty) has always occupied my mind. This made me think a lot for the source of heart diseases. However whenever I contemplated on our status, straying signs appear to me. One complains of his hard heart; the other is complaining of fluctuations in his "Iman" faith. To the extent that one could say: I can't recognize my self diseases, whereas arrogance is reflected in all his/her words.
I realized that the most dangerous among all the diseases is what the Muslims live now, which is the Certainty Crisis.
My beloved,
Are you certain that the first ten days of dhul hijah are the greatest days of the era, and the best days of the year?
Are you certain that Allah loves to see good deeds from his servants in those days more than any other days even Ramadan?
Your answer is most probably: sure !!
My answer will be that there's a huge difference between knowing, believing, and being certain; and we all know that well. As we may believe in what the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) -the most honest person- say but without "Yaqeen" certainty.
So amongst you are people who know that 24 days are left for the arrival of that great season, so where's the preparation that we did before Ramadhan??
In this course I want to plant "yaqeen" certainty in the heart of each one of you to get rid of this crisis: his doubts, fluctuations, turning around, and negligence.
My beloved,
Contemplate on the words of this Hadeeth. It's the base of this course and will be its bright motto. "you were certain"
It has been narrated by Ibn Majah and classified as Sahih by Al-Albani from Abi Horira's hadeeth that the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The dead man ends up in his grave. If he was a good man, he will sit down in his grave not frightened nor trembled. He will be asked: what have you been in?
He will answer: I have been in Islam. He will be asked: who is this man??
He will say: Mohammed the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) he came to us with evidences from Allah the all Mighty and we believed him. Then he will be asked: Did you see Allah??
He will say: Allah should not be seen by anyone.
Then a fissure is opened to him right in front of hell, He will look at its flames destroying itself. They will tell him: look at what Allah has protected you from.
And then a fissure is opened to him right in front of heaven, he looks at its pleasure and what it's inside it, then he's told this is your seat,
He is told you were certain in your life, and you died with certainty, and with certainty you shall resurrect with Allah's will.
However the bad man sits down in his grave frightened and trembled. He's to be told: what have you been in? He says: I don't know.
He is told: what is this man??
He says: I heard people saying something so I said it. So a fissure is opened to him right in front of heaven, he looks at its pleasure and what's inside it, then he's told: look what Allah has prevented you from, then a hole right in front of hell is opened to him, he looks at it, destroying itself, then he's told this is your seat you were doubtful, you died with doubt, and with doubt you shall resurrect with Allah's will" (As understood from the hadeeth).
This is the cause of salvation "you were certain"
So let's take the first practical lesson to plant "yaqeen" (certainty):
1- The prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate saying:
"O' Allah give me from your apprehension what prevents us from committing sins, and from your worship what makes us reach your heaven and from certainty what eases life's disasters on us"Narrated by teremzi with good predication.
So supplicate with this dua', and let us pray to reach the first ten days ofDhul Hijah
O' ALLAH make us reach these days with your satisfaction, give them to us, and accept them from us.
2- Please listen to "The greatest days of Life", summarize it in the form of articles, print it out, and spread it all over to win good deeds in Dawaa.
3- I also recommend that you start practicing the deeds of those ten days, and the most important is the "dhikr""There aren't any days greater, nor any days in which deeds done in them are more beloved to Allah, the Most High, than these ten days (of dhul-Hijah). So, increase in them the saying of Tahleel (La Ilaaha illa Allah), and Takbeer (Allah Akbar) and Tahmeed (al-Hamdu li-llah)" [Musnad Imaam Ahmad]
Purify your heart to receive the plant of Yaqeen (certainty) with Isteghfar (seeking Allah's forgiveness), and renewing repentancemay the Lord raise us to Maqam Mahmud (a station of praise and glory, i.e. the honor of intercession on the Day of Resurrection.) .
Wisdom of today's message:
Scholars have said in the explanation of His saying the all Mighty:
"We shall punish them gradually from directions they perceive not." Whenever they renewed a sin we renewed a blessing to make them forget Isteghfar (seeking Allah's forgiveness).
So be aware of punishment without your notification that I have mentioned in the first message.
Note:
I want you to pay more attention to these messages. As I don't see the required attention required especially after Ramadan's negligence. So please pay more effort in spreading these messages.

Certainty is always followed by a reflex action, a special preparation, over attention, a strong persistence, aspiration, and a real and practical application.
So amongst you are people who know that 24 days are left for the arrival of that great season, so where's the preparation that we did before Ramadhan??
