Establish Yourself Upon Certainty!

Establish yourself upon certainty,
so that you may witness the promise of God as a true reality on the near horizon… and guide your life toward that magnificent vision. Do not let the distractions of the road or the temptations of this world divert you from it.

So that every intention, every effort, and every goal becomes an inseparable part of the grand picture of manifest victory.
Even if you are not physically present, your impact will not be absent—you will have a share in its realization.

For such goals, believers devote themselves wholeheartedly. They prepare themselves with cooperation, patience, reliance upon God, and striving ahead of one another.

Never forget:
“The Hereafter is greater in rank and greater in excellence.”

“And they had firm certainty in Our signs.”

The finest horsemen upon the face of the earth!

It was narrated from Usayr ibn Jabir that a red wind once blew in Kufa, and a man came to Abdullah ibn Masud shouting: “O Abdullah ibn Masud, the Hour has come!”
Abdullah had been reclining, then he sat up and said:
“The Hour will not come until inheritance is no longer distributed, nor will people rejoice over the spoils of the enemy. They will gather against the people of Islam, and the people of Islam will gather against them”—and he gestured toward the region of Greater Syria.
I said: “Do you mean the Romans?” He said: “Yes.”

In the same narration, describing the great battle, the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“I know their names, the names of their fathers, and the colors of their horses. They will be the best horsemen upon the face of the earth at that time.”
And he said: “They are the best people upon the earth.”
(Reported in Al-Mustadrak)

Establish yourself upon the belief that these horsemen could be among your descendants. So strive with the utmost effort within yourself and in raising your children accordingly.

The grace of God is immense; He grants it to whom He wills. It is a race of sincerity—not a race of distance or time.

Establish yourself upon the guidance of this great teaching—upon its method:
“They will gather for the people of Islam, and the people of Islam will gather for them,”
so that you may attain the honor of striving and exert the means to reach the rank of being chosen and martyrdom.

They are better than those between me and them!

Do not despair, do not become shaken, and do not fall into doubt—and above all, never stop striving against the enemies of God and His Messenger.

For Yemen, the wounded Sunni land today—struck by the schemes of disbelievers and pierced by the attacks of the Houthis—will one day produce the army of Aden-Abyan.

It was reported from Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said:
“Twelve thousand will emerge from Aden-Abyan, supporting God and His Messenger; they are the best of those between me and them.” (Authentic narration)

So establish yourself upon supporting God and His Messenger, and upon asking God for His immense grace.

Upon the truth!

In an authentic narration reported by Muslim, from Jabir, the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said:
“A group from my nation will continue to fight upon the truth, victorious, until the Day of Resurrection. Then Jesus, son of Mary, will descend, and their leader will say: ‘Come, lead us in prayer.’ He will reply: ‘No, some of you are leaders over others,’ as an honor for this nation.”

Establish yourself upon supporting Islam and preserving it upon the path of Prophethood. Never compromise it. Let your loyalty be only for God and His Messenger, and let no blame deter you in the cause of God. Rise with your faith and trust in the true promise of God—for that is the path to joining the foremost.

“They see it as distant, but We see it as near.”

Reflect on the outcomes of the war against Islam. Reflect on the scale of plotting, scheming, and mutual encouragement toward injustice and corruption on earth.
Reflect on how Islam has been targeted everywhere, and how attempts have been made to contain it, distort it, and defame it.

Yet it remains present—even in the darkest of moments—illuminating the path of truth with its majesty.

“They wish to extinguish the light of God with their mouths, but God will perfect His light, even if the disbelievers dislike it.
It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religions, even if the polytheists dislike it.”

So establish yourself upon the verses of the Noble Scripture and the teachings of the trustworthy Prophet (peace be upon him), with unwavering certainty—seeking to be chosen for righteous service and a noble ending that will be envied by those before and after. Dedicate everything in your worldly life to this supreme purpose, and the path will be made easy for you, and obstacles will be humbled—so long as you remain patient and rely upon your Lord.

And glorify Him with true glorification.
