The Path to Exit the Wilderness
The Wilderness or the Path to Allah · Imam Ahmed al-Hasan
O beloved ones, O believing men and women, let us work together so that we ourselves become the generation which will exit the wilderness and the desert which we have found ourselves in, and let us start by reforming ourselves and our Islamic community, each one according to his ability and capacity . The Almighty said, ﴾The believing men and believing women are supporters of one another . They command what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger . Those - Allah will have mercy upon them . Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise .﴿[1] O beloved ones, drifting away from the Islamic religion and the divine method has put locks and veils on the hearts, and covers on the eyes which will not be lifted except by devotion to Allah, and strongly rushing away from the humiliation of disobeying Allah toward the glory of obeying Allah, and from the humiliation of obeying the tyrant and submitting to him, toward the glory of obeying Allah and surrendering to Him; in order for the light to shine in the hearts and for the darkness to be cleared from the insights .

Walking the path of exit from the wilderness is not easy, but its end is good; because at the end of this path there is the satisfaction of Allah swt and the satisfaction of His messenger pbuhap, and at the end of this path there is the establishment of the state of divine justice on the earth, and the spreading of the word Allahu Akbar on every spot of the earth . And the path of exit from the wilderness has clear signs and indicators which the walkers to Allah on His straight path are guided by, and no one can tell you about these signs like the expert concerning this path, who is Allah swt , and like the knowledgeable ones who are Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad pbut . And in this research I address some of the verses from the Holy Book, and some of the narrations of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad pbut and their cases pbut , may Allah make it beneficial for whoever hears it and reflects upon it, and the most important signs on this path are:
