Islam is not in need of

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, dear brothers. Sometimes, while serving the religion of Allah Almighty, we may feel that we are performing a great task that no one else is doing in our time, workplace, or country. Therefore, we may feel that we will not be misguided by our sins, nor will we be prevented from fulfilling our role, nor will we die before completing this mission because all of this would deprive others of our goodness. That is, we feel that people need us, and even Islam needs us as well. This feeling is positive and commendable to the extent that it drives us to take responsibility so that we do not abandon the world and leave our beneficial missionary role for humanity... A feeling that is beneficial to the extent that we remember with it the saying of the speaker: "I have been prepared for a matter, if you had realized it, then take care of yourself to graze with negligence, but this feeling sometimes becomes dangerous! It becomes dangerous if it leads us to neglect the matter of Allah Almighty and to belittle our sins, reassured that Allah will not punish us for that by diverting our hearts or stopping the door of goodness that we are standing on, because we see ourselves as a tool of Allah in benefiting and guiding His creation, so our loss is a loss for them. Therefore, the divine clarification comes that Allah Almighty is not in need of anyone. Rather, we are the ones in need of supporting His religion, may He be glorified. Allah the Almighty says: ((And if you turn away, He will replace you with people other than you, and they will not be like you)). That is, He will remove you and bring a new creation better than you who will not turn away from His obedience, may He be glorified. With this simplicity... This divine speech is addressed primarily to the Companions, who were the first carriers of Islam, and whose loss seemed to be a loss for Islam... Yet Allah the Almighty says to them: ((And if you turn away, He will replace you with people other than you, and they will not be like you)). Even the most beloved of people to Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him), his Lord, the Almighty, said to him: ((And had it not been for your firmness, you would have almost inclined to them a little (74). Then We would have made you taste the hardship of life and the hardship of death, and you would not find for yourself any helper from Us (75)). In my life, I have known people who thought that Allah would not take them before they completed their mission. But they died young, and Allah decreed for His religion others. And in the hadith which was classified as good by Al-Albani, our Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ((Allah will continue to plant in this religion plants that He employs in His obedience)). So, my brother and sister... Pray to Allah to employ you in His obedience, for Allah Almighty is not in need of anyone, but we are the ones in need of Him, may He be glorified: ((O mankind, you are the poor to Allah, and Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy (15). If He wills, He can do away with you and bring forth a new creation (16). And that is not difficult for Allah (17)) (Fatir). Islam is victorious with you and without you, and Allah will spread His light even if the disbelievers hate it. It is you who are in need of supporting the religion of Allah to be saved and attain honor. ((And if you turn away, He will replace you with people other than you, and they will not be like you)). Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
