Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And you see them, by Allah, a laughingstock of the mocker *** And they have long mocked faith" This means that you see them as a target of laughter. The one who mocks them laughs at them because they have fallen under the jihad of the awliya (close friends of Allah) (Mighty and Majestic is He).
"The regions have become desolate of them, and the Mighty One has increased their desolation for as long as the ages have passed"
This means that "regions" is the plural of "quarter," which refers to a district or a group of people. Their homes have become desolate of them. Allah (Mighty and Majestic is He) has increased their desolation because they are poor in revelation and clear intellect.
"And their homes have become empty, and their unity has been scattered; there are not two men among them who are united"
Yes, united. Their homes have become empty of them because they fled from the soldiers of Allah (Mighty and Majestic is He). And their unity has been scattered: they dispersed and tore apart; there are not two men among them who are united.
