The noble Qur’ān shows the best path and is more important than breathing. It contains healing and every kind of goodness. Teaching the Qur’ān to children sharpens their mind, beautifies their manners, and strengthens their soul. Families should spend five minutes daily with their children to read one page of the Qur’ān so they do not forget. This is a seed planted in the child that will grow into a mighty tree and bring blessings, in shā’a Llāh.

Allāh ﷻ created everything with its opposite – day and night, believer and disbeliever, justice and oppression. In His ﷻ wisdom He ﷻ created everything as a test. Be pleased with His ﷻ decree. Be on the side of light and leave everything at its center, as Merkez Efendi taught. May Allāh ﷻ keep us content, in shā’a Llāh.

Every person is accountable for himself. No deed is ever lost – except what Allāh ﷻ erases when you ask for forgiveness while you still breathe. One breath is better than a thousand years in the grave. In the Hereafter, every soul is a hostage to what it has earned. Only good deeds will free you. After death, nothing helps except a righteous child, beneficial knowledge, or lasting charity.

The Prophet’s ﷺ migration from Makkah to Madīnah was not out of fear, but by Allāh’s ﷻ command. Every step was full of wisdom, guidance, and miracle. Nothing happens without its time, and the order of hijrah came when his ﷺ mission in Makkah was complete. Today, many leave Muslim lands for worldly reasons, but it is better to stay with patience and protect what has been built. Allāh ﷻ has given the most valuable places to Muslims – do not leave them to the non-believers.

The Hijrī year is filled with Allāh’s ﷻ blessings. While others celebrate with empty pursuits, we enter our year with du‘ā’ for goodness – for ourselves and all humanity. From Muḥarram to Dhū l-Ḥijjah, every month holds blessings and duties for believers. This is not an empty year – it is full of meaning, reward, and mercy. May Allāh ﷻ send the Ṣāḥib in this new year.
