Suhbah 2019: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (10/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5535
who are with Allah are advantaged and safe by the permission of Allah. Nowadays, people are such as to worry about their worldly life as this happens or that, and to forget the Next World and Allah. Everything is in the hands of Allah. He is Ar-Razzaq, Allah ‘azza wa jall. “Oh! this one came that one left...” People worry. There is no need to worry. The sole owner of everything is Allah, ‘azza wa jall. Allah has distributed everything to mankind—his provision, life, his number of breaths, the water he is going to drink, the bread he is going to eat, and everything else. “Wa kullu shay’in ‘indahu bi-miqdār” (Qur’ān 13:8). “Everything has a measure.” For everything there is a measure.
You are to eat and drink according to a measure, and that is it. You cannot do more than that, which means that you cannot go beyond what Allah has predestined for you, [things] such as your provision and the air you breath. Let the whole world be yours if you like—when the time comes, one cannot put a morsel into one’s own mouth. Therefore, be with Allah, so that your faith will be strong. Let nothing bother you. Be like the mountains. Let no wind touch or bend you. The one whose faith is strong, is like a mountain—for him by the permission of Allah everything becomes easy. As long as the orders of Allah are kept, the rest is not important.
May Allah protect us! May Allah bless us with iman! Iman is the most important thing in life—the rest is not important, because it is our faith that saves us, here and after. Let us be with Allah. Let Him be in our hearts, Insha Allah
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
76.DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE RELIGIONS Friday, 26 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Islam is the perfect religion. “Religion” is singular, but “religions” is plural. The others are not religions. They call it a dialogue between religions, [but] there is no such thing. Islam is the final religion. Before it there was the religion of the Nasrani [Christians] which was brought by Isa (AS), and the religion of Musa (AS). They all are the same. There is no need for a dialogue between them.
They brought this issue to [everyone’s] attention, but for what purpose is unknown. The purpose is to confuse people’s minds, because the world is turning in the direction of Islam, and therefore to prevent it they bring up such things. This is one of them, otherwise, the religion of Allah is one.
“Inna-d-dīn ‘inda Llāhi-l-Islām,” (Qur’ān 3:19). “Indeed, the religion with Allah is Islam (lit., ‘the Submission’).”
In twenty-three years, the Prophet (SAW) completed Islam in its best form. He completed it slowly, slowly. Human beings are not made perfect, but some amongst them have no idea about the religion. As they come to religion slowly, it is a good thing to invite them with tolerance, because the Prophet (SAW) did it that way. If you burden someone all of a sudden with everything, he will not be able to carry it, and might even become worse, in which case you would be responsible. It is said that [one should] make things easy, not hard. This is the way mentioned in the Holy Quran and in the sayings of the Prophet (SAW). May Allah have us as one of those who shows easiness. May it be easy also for us, because if you make it difficult, Allah will make it difficult for you. If you give someone else a hard time, the same will happen to you.
May Allah be our helper, Insha Allah. May our worldly and next life’s affairs be easy, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
77.SUSTENANCE Friday, 26 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) states, “If you had true faith, Allah would send you your sustenance (rizq).” Just as birds go out looking for their sustenance in the morning with stomachs empty, yet they come back with stomachs full later in the evening. They don’t have jobs, but Allah (JJ) provides their sustenance. Allah, who provides their sustenance, provides sustenance for people, too—so there is no need to get anxious when something goes wrong! Trust in Allah. Sustenance is from Allah.
The people who live in those countries you call the world’s most powerful, even those in the world’s most powerful and wealthiest country, are living in more difficulty than those who live in the poorest countries. They do not know what to do. Why? Because they think materialistically and of nothing else. They think that one eats if one works, and stays hungry if one doesn’t work. Allah manifests this view to them, so their disgrace may be an example.
Thanks be to Allah, though there isn’t as much wealth in our Islamic world, Allah gives blessing and everybody makes ends meet. We don’t have more than they, we have less, but when Allah ‘azza wa jalla gives barakah, that barakah is a secret and is more important than everything else. People get anxious and say, “This happened, and that happened. What are we going to do?” But there is no need [to worry like this]. The Sustainer (al-Razzāq) is Allah, the Exalted and Glorious; it is not the political administration or anything else. Allah makes a means and people, believers manage and make ends meet, without being in need of anyone, thanks be to Allah. What is important for us is to have faith. It is the most important thing. Iman is spirituality; it is power. Those without spirituality are useless. They live like grass, and die like grass.
May Allah strengthen our faith for the sake of these days, and for the sake of the day of Juma, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
78.DUTY OF A MUSLIM Saturday, 27 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
A Muslim should do good. “Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.” A Muslim does not need to live in bad, ugly places. You are to make your environment beautiful, and make yourself beautiful, so that Allah ‘azza wa jalla is happy with you. Because people eat and drink, there will certainly be some mess in our places, but the Prophet (SAW) says, “It is a sadaqa to remove dirt, trash, and stones from the path.” All the beautiful things you do are counted as sadaqa, because souls act according to beauty, whereas the nafs acts according to ugliness.
We observe old buildings—each one is like a wall painting, masha’Allah. When we look at the mosques, houses, and buildings that our forefathers made, we like them. Today’s buildings are not this way. They are piles of concrete. These piles of concrete are everywhere. Worst of all, they are building all around the Ka’aba, the heart of Islam— this is done on purpose! Those who do this are ones knowing nothing, and they have nothing to do with Islam. In every way, one must be an aesthete, sensitive to beauty, so that while you are alive, or after you have gone, people will say [of what you made], “What a beautiful piece!” These are the types of masterpieces that must be left behind. We should not say, “Oh! We will die anyway.”
In a famous hadith of the Prophet (SAW) which almost everyone knows, he said, “If you have a sapling in your hand, even if you know that you will die tomorrow, plant it!” Do not be lazy, do good! This is more important. The duty of a Muslim is to do good, to do something beautiful, to show mercy.
May Allah help us to do this, and not let it leave our remembrance. We will continue doing for the sake of Allah, so that it turns into dhikr.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
79.LEARNED MONKEYS Sunday, 30 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Islam is the most perfect religion sent by Allah (JJ) and brought by our Holy Prophet (SAW). Everything, every beautiful thing is in it. This is the case for this world and for the Hereafter. The perfection that people who follow it are seeking is in it. The more they follow the commands, the more they rise and the more they soar. If they don’t apply those commands, to that same degree they fall, and to that same degree they stoop. They think they are doing something good, but they are actually harming and degrading themselves.
The more a person attaches himself to religion, the more acceptable he becomes. Otherwise, what happens to a person who does not do credit to his own dignity and honor? He becomes a buffoon and nothing else. They call those who are under the control of fashion designers and what not “trained monkeys”, who are told, “Do this and do that.” They become like that. They are told, “You will wear this, and you will do that.” Whereas, if people dress as Allah orders, they would be covered, and they would be beautiful. There are things that fit each person. There is no restriction to apply them. However, when you go out beyond the command, at such time it begins to harm you. Because the things Allah commands are certainly for our own good, when you don’t do them, you are both committing sin and are harming yourself. Then they complain that there is no blessing left, and there is no peace left. There are reasons behind it. Nothing happens without a reason. Insha Allah, let us follow the commands of Allah, and let us stay away from the things Allah has forbidden us. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “In the End Times, they will forbid from doing good, and they will invite to doing evil.” May Allah protect us! These are those times. People who are attached to their religion will profit. They will be gain in every aspect. People who are distant from religion are always in a state of loss. Let them never think that they are benefiting. May Allah provide guidance. May Allah give people good sense and intelligence. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
80.THE NIGHT OF FORGIVENESS (LAYLAT UL-BAR’AH) Monday, 30 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Tonight is a holy night, the night of the 15th of Sha’bān. It is the night of kandil. The fasting takes place tomorrow, insha’Allah, but it is possible to fast today and tomorrow. Whoever is not fasting it today may fast tomorrow. What will happen to us within the next year is determined tonight. One’s provision (rizq), health, welfare, one’s life and whether one will survive throughout the year are determined tonight. Therefore between maghrib and ‘isha one should read Surat Yasin three times, [once] for one’s life to be good and long, [once] for a good healthy faith, [and once] for one’s welfare. There are specified prayers for tonight, [and] if done with a group it is better. If it is not possible to attend the group, then one must read Surat Yasin three times between maghrib and isha prayers.
Allah can change what is written or leave what is written as it is, therefore we should pray for it to be good, [and] if something bad is written may it be changed to good. Allah gives this opportunity to His servants tonight. He can change it for them. He is capable of doing everything. Nothing is difficult for him; He can change things as He wishes. That is why He, Allah ‘azza wa jalla, accepts the prayers of those who plea to Him. Therefore this holy night is an important one. With this awareness, we will value this night, will do all that is required, then will pray 100 rak‘āt of salah until fajr prayer. This is also to be done.
There is only one hundred-rak’āt prayer done per year. This prayer becomes the means to strengthen their faith. Do not say a hundred rak‘āts is too much, Hadrat Rabia Adawiyya, used to pray a thousand rak‘āts a night. When there is a hundred rak‘āts of prayer people think twice, wondering how they are going to do it. In fact, some Friends of Allah pray all night long. Some others are like Hadrat Rabia Adawiyya, may Allah be pleased with her, she prayed a thousand rak‘āts every night.
This is why it is good to pray this hundred rak‘āts. It also can be counted as a substitute for missed prayers, or for those who have not missed prayers it becomes the mean for closeness to Allah because the prayer is when one is closest to Allah. If tonight both reading Surat Yasin a number of times [and] these prayers are done Insha Allah, for all
those who fulfill these in faith, it will be good for them. Allah Insha Allah accepts their worship. May Allah blessed the night.
Blessed nights are good opportunities for us. Allah ‘azza wa jalla bestowed upon us these opportunities, [and] caused us to know their value. May Allah bless it. May Allah have us reach those years insha’Allah, with the victory of Islam, [and] with the coming of Mahdi (AS), because Satan and his folk want to wipe out Islam from the face of earth. They cannot do this, because Allah ‘azza wa jalla is blocking them. The religion is his. Otherwise, if this matter had been left to people, long ago it would have been finished. With the help of Allah ‘azza wa jalla, with the aid of Allah, Insha Allah the whole world will become Muslim. May Allah accept it. May it be blessed.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
81.THE VIRTUES OF ZIYARET Wednesday,1 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) states, “Whoever goes to visit his Muslim brother, for each step taken Allah writes one reward, erases one sin, and raises him by one station.”
A short while ago, our Abd ul-Rafi Efendi started his journey to what is considered the other side of the world. It is millions of steps. Millions of steps. Allah the Exalted and Glorious grants those for each step.
Of course it is hard to get here from so far away there, but these people only came out of compassion, for Allah, and only for the sake of Allah. Allah the Exalted and Glorious both gives them blessings and increases their lights.
Sometimes you don’t feel like going from one place to another. For them to get up and come from so far away is for Allah’s love. So there is a compassion, and it is most acceptable when compassion is for the sake of Allah. They are not coming for worldly purposes. Most people travel the world for worldly purposes, but they travel for nothing. When a person is about to go someplace, wherever it may be, he must state his intention to be for the sake of Allah and to earn his sustenance, and then it will not be in vain.
However, they are coming straight for the sake of Allah, and to find and meet their Muslim brothers. Their reward is great. May Allah bless it! May Allah increase it! May whatever troubles they have be removed. The most important thing they want is for their families to reach guidance: May Allah give them guidance, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
82.EGO SERVICE Thursday, 2 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
People see the world as a place of amusement. They are busy with their comfort, and with the amusement and satisfaction of their ego. People’s highest aim is this. Every bad habit is in the ego. Instead of training his ego, his ego trains him. They are trying to satisfy their ego. To remain as slaves of their egos is their only goal. Whether it benefits anyone or not is not even a concern. They do not care what is beneficial. People run around not to receive benefit, but just a small bit of comfort. What happens at the end of it? Nothing, nil. Sometimes things are even worse. Sometimes such things are done that result in their ego actually lowering them. Such is the case for those who do not obey Allah but their own ego. Not only non-Muslims, but Muslims too are the same. Muslims have begun to look like them, and to act how non-Muslims ask them to act, without thinking whether this brings benefit or not. What they think about is just their own comfort, their amusement and pleasing their ego.
The ego will never be happy, no matter how much you serve it. It will never be satisfied, but will always ask for more. So do not follow your ego, have it follow you! Train your ego. After training it, you will feel relaxed, but otherwise it will never let you relax. Otherwise, in this world you will be stressed out, and in the Next World you will be disappointed. May Allah protect us from our ego.
As We said, today ninety-nine percent of the world is in the service of ego, using TV, movies, and other things as means. May Allah protect us from the evil that comes from our ego, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
83.THE SPOKEN WORD FLIES, THE WRITTEN WORD REMAINS Friday, 3 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The Quran says, “When one is about to do something like business, have someone write down the specifics agreed upon.” Today most people do not keep their promises, or they forget. So it is said that it is better to write things down. Nowadays, there are notaries to make it even securer. Those who used to be called “kātib ‘ādil” are called “notaries” today. It is a bond for people, something solid for their benefit.
Most people promise, then turn away from their promises. So that one making a promise will not later be able to turn away from it, and also to prevent possible disagreements in the future, writing everything down is required. Most of the time people talk, lie, and later say, “I did not say it like that.” “If you did not say it, then what is this? It is written right here.” So then the person cannot disagree. If his intention was good, maybe he forgot the details. To forget is an attribute of mankind. So when there is anything to be done in the future, in order that we will not be guilty in front of Allah for something, and so that whatever is promised will be fulfilled, it is necessary to write everything down [in advance].
Now most people say, “If I had this, I would give this much...”, then when he has the means, he says there is no need to give. They forget their promises. They forget Allah, ‘azza wa jalla. Therefore we tell them to fulfill Allah’s order to write important details down when they intend to do something or make a promise, so that they will not forget. Otherwise, no barakah will remain for the person not keeping his promises, and he will not benefit either. The reason why Allah ‘azza wa jalla out of His mercy ordered it to be written down is so that the person will not be harmed.
This is an order. One might say now, “Oh, he is my relative,” or “We are friends,” this or that, but later no relationship remains if something goes wrong. May Allah have us amongst the sādiqīn (trustworthy ones), those who are faithful to their promises. May He not test us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
84.THE BEST WAY Sunday, 5 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Welcome to the beginning of Ramadān. It is a blessed day. This year the mawlid of Mawlānā, his ‘urs, corresponds to the second day of Ramaḍān. May Allāh be pleased with you for that occasion. Most people have come because of that. For that there is a big thawāb. Because our Prophet says when a believer visits another believer, he is forgiven one sin, he earns one thawāb and is raised up one rank. And more important is not forgetting your Shaykh, respecting your Shaykh. That is higher. Because he showed this way leading to happiness for most people. Most of our people were not Muslim. And they came to guidance thanks to him. And there were followers of Mawlānā who were Muslim but had no idea about Islām. Most were like this. However, Maa Shaa Allah, now they are living the true Islām by the barakah of Mawlānā and his support.
It is a very beautiful way. Who follows him in this world, during this short life... Some live longer, some shorter but the life of this world is short. They were together in this world and, Insha Allah, they will be so forever in Akhirah. There won't be further separation there. Separation is in this world. And, may Allāh protect us, sometimes there is separation in Akhirah. Separation within a family takes place. Someone follows this beautiful way by the favour of Allāh, and others don't. Of course, then separation takes place in Paradise and sadness comes then. When they are told, "You go this way and you go that way," they will not meet again forever. They get upset then, may Allāh protect us. But before going to Paradise, there is a pool of Kawthar, the pool of our Prophet. When they drink from the water of Kawthar, the sadness of this world, the desires and arrogance, whatever people had inside them disappears. No one is upset in Paradise. This happens and that until then but no trouble, no sadness enters through the door of Paradise.
Therefore, as we said, Mawlānā's way is the way of our Prophet. The way is the same. Keep to it. Then the Hereafter is yours. You will get happiness in Ākhirah. With the permission of Allāh, Ramaḍān starts from tonight, Insha Allah. We will pray tarāwīh. May this beautiful month be blessed for us, Insha Allah. May it be blessed for all of us. May it help Islām. May Allāh send us the Sāhib. The Ummah is without its leader. The Ummah is dealing with each other, fighting and quarrelling. They are fighting each
other.
Shayṭān and his followers are playing with us with pleasure. May Allāh send their evil back to them. Because we ask for goodness and get goodness. Who wants evil gets evil. Those who do others wrong shouldn't be happy and think they will get away with it. Who does like this is stupid. Certainly evil goes and comes circling back. Therefore, we should always ask for good things so that Allāh sends us a leader. The Islamic world is without a leader.
For the honour of Ramaḍān, Insha Allah Allāh will send the Ṣāḥib. Allāh is the Owner of the religion. Still there must be a khalīfah. The Khalīfah holds the office of our Prophet. He should be there. May Allāh send him soon. May it be blessed and good, Insha Allah.
We are welcome, Alhamdulilah, for this nice days, good holy days, blessed days. Most of you coming for Mawlid of Mawlānā Shaykh and in this time, this year, it is with Ramadān, month of fasting the blessed month in the year. It is very good occasion. Most of you come for remembrance of Mawlānā, for his anniversary and Allāh make it every year coming little bit, little bit. This year it will be in Ramadān, second day of Ramadān, Insha Allah, we celebrate with all of you. And it is there is big reward for people who are coming. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying who comes to see his brother in Islām, visit him, each step Allāh forgive from one sin and reward him and make his level one more higher.
And this for normal people and you are coming for your Shaykh, your Master, your the most beloved one for you and for believer who are you are respecting him and this love make you more sincere and more blessed. Because he is the one who saved most of you. From where save you? From to follow shayṭān. Many of this people – Mawlānā – they become to know their Lord, their religion, the real one, to know their Prophet. Because most of them they are non-Muslim, becoming Muslim. Even who are saying, "We are Muslim," they was maybe worse than these people they are not knowing anything from Islām. But, Alhamdulilah, with Mawlānā's barakah and his teaching they make them like star, like they are light. They give them light in their face, in their heart, and he save them from shayṭān and his follower and bad end. So it will be more reward for you because you are coming, visiting your Shaykh, and you are continuing his way, the way of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. His way it is real the best way. Nothing better than this. For this dunyā it is everything not good but for Ākhirah every, anything you do it is good and it is also – Allāh will after this life, Insha Allah, way going to His Divine Presence and to be together again with our Shaykh, our beloved one. And of course there is this dunyā – everything mix up especially in this days, the end of time. So people they are, when they are going to Jannah, first thing before entering door of Jannah, all our desire, what we have bad desire, it will go after drinking one cup of Kawthar. This pool
of Kawthar it is for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This make you to forget everything, forget jealousy, forget sadness, bad intention, proudness – everything. When you drink this, you going inside Jannah [with] nothing from this. Even whole people going to other side you will be not be sorry. Because there is two kind of separating – one in dunyā but this, in day of Qiyamah. We will come together again but there is another one separation also – this forever: one to this side, one to other side. That time Mawlānā was saying, "Wa-mtāzū l-yawma ayyuhā l-mujrimūn" (36:59). "Separate O bad people from good people." So sometimes father he separate from his son. Some from mother separate from her daughter or brother from his brother. And that time Mawlānā was saying this people they will be very crying there and it is because this separation forever, not only for like from dunyā to Ākhirah. And that time, so when this people coming to drinking from this water, this finish – it will be finish, nothing left from sadness from this what happen in separation, crying, to be unhappy. When they drink this they will go Jannah. In Jannah no any sadness, no any illness, no any envious – nothing from this bad thing who in our world everybody they have this. But from who going to other side it will be forever for them this.
So don't worry about you happy. You be happy with Mawlānā and be thank for him, he save you from this bad end. Allāh raise his maqām more and more and, Insha Allah, this Ramadān we will beginning from tonight, Insha Allah. Allāh make barakah and send us one who lead us. Take this separation from between believer and Muslim and not make them like toy in hand of shayṭān and his followers. Because this we are seeing – no need for enemy. It is enough we are killing each other. We are fighting with each other. We are doing bad thing for other but other they are just looking and laughing for us. Allāh, Insha Allah will send, He has promised to send someone and we are know him – Sayyidunā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. When he is coming, he will be lead all to make united of Muslims and to make whole world Muslim, Insha Allah. We are hope this because Islām it is meaning peace. Without Islām, no peace. Because Islām want good for people. Other people they are making best thing to destroy people, destroy believer and they are thought if this believer finish, it will be the world in peace. No. What you are planting, coming for you first. Planting bad thing, bad intention, bad thing also coming for you. So we are every time, we have good intention, good to people, to help people, to not fight people. But other they thought if, from their envious, if we finish this people it will be whole world for us and it will be like paradise. No Paradise in this life. Paradise in Ākhirah. And who want Paradise, he must do good thing in dunyā, not bad thing. Allāh help us and, Insha Allah, this Ramaḍān blessed and happiness for all of you, Insha Allah. Thank you for you.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
85.COMMON PEOPLE AND SPECIAL PEOPLE Monday, 6 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The month of Ramadān is a blessed holy month. During this month, or three months to be more correct, especially in Ramaḍān, shayātīn are thrown far away with their arms and legs tied up so that they don't harm people. That is the good tidings of our Prophet. But these shayāṭīn are jinn shayāṭīn. Jinn shayāṭīn struggle throughout the year to cheat people and mislead them from their way. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla destroys everything they do. He breaks down the buildings they make during these three months. The months come as relief for believers. Their sins are forgiven and people with īmān (faith) earn thawāb (reward). Certainly now jinn shayāṭīn will be imprisoned. But there are still human shayāṭīn. They still mess everything up. They are the people worse than shaytān. They make waswasah (whisperings) to people like no shaytān makes. They do evil to mankind as was never done before. They order evil, not goodness.
And this Ramadān Sharīf is the month of beauty. It is for people to get along with their friends, relatives and neighbours. Allāh ordered it so that there is a better atmosphere. If there is anger between them, they should make up. If there is an unsolved matter, they should finish it. If someone wants to make up, he should think first, "Does this person owe me something, or do I owe him instead?" He should look at it. We should end all disagreements during Ramaḍān Sharīf. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives its reward. He gives countlessly. There are common people. Mawlānā, may Allāh raise his station, used to say sometimes seriously, sometimes jokingly, that there are ‘awāmu n-nās and khawāsu n-nās. ‘Awām means ordinary people. They call people who give more importance to dunyā – ‘awāmu n-nās. And khawās are special people. Special people are those who give more importance to Akhirah. They are people of tarīqah, people of worship. They are special people. Common people, as we said, first thing they think about is dunyā. "What shall we do? How shall we have fun? How will we be happy?" All they do is think about this. They don't think about Akhirah. There is a saying, "Al-‘awām kal-hawām." Common people are like four-legged creatures. They live for this world as if here is no Ākhirah. They are the same way though. An ordinary person, from common people, wants to be special. He wants it for dunyā. Whereas it has no use for dunyā. Try to be a special and a chosen one for Ākhirah for whom the most important thing is the pleasure of Allāh. And the pleasure of Allāh is in obeying His orders, doing what
our Prophet said, and most importantly, loving your brother in religion like your own, wishing for him what you wish for yourself. Do

who are with Allah are advantaged and safe by the permission of Allah. Nowadays, people are such as to worry about their worldly life as this happens or that, and to forget the Next World and Allah. Everything is in the hands of Allah. He is Ar-Razzaq, Allah ‘azza wa jall. “Oh! this one came that one left...” People worry. There is no need to worry. The sole owner of everything is Allah, ‘azza wa jall. Allah has distributed everything to mankind—his provision, life, his number of breaths, the water he is going to drink, the bread he is going to eat, and everything else. “Wa kullu shay’in ‘indahu bi-miqdār” (Qur’ān 13:8). “Everything has a measure.” For everything there is a measure.
You are to eat and drink according to a measure, and that is it. You cannot do more than that, which means that you cannot go beyond what Allah has predestined for you, [things] such as your provision and the air you breath. Let the whole world be yours if you like—when the time comes, one cannot put a morsel into one’s own mouth. Therefore, be with Allah, so that your faith will be strong. Let nothing bother you. Be like the mountains. Let no wind touch or bend you. The one whose faith is strong, is like a mountain—for him by the permission of Allah everything becomes easy. As long as the orders of Allah are kept, the rest is not important.
May Allah protect us! May Allah bless us with iman! Iman is the most important thing in life—the rest is not important, because it is our faith that saves us, here and after. Let us be with Allah. Let Him be in our hearts, Insha Allah

76.DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE RELIGIONS Friday, 26 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Islam is the perfect religion. “Religion” is singular, but “religions” is plural. The others are not religions. They call it a dialogue between religions, [but] there is no such thing. Islam is the final religion. Before it there was the religion of the Nasrani [Christians] which was brought by Isa (AS), and the religion of Musa (AS). They all are the same. There is no need for a dialogue between them.
They brought this issue to [everyone’s] attention, but for what purpose is unknown. The purpose is to confuse people’s minds, because the world is turning in the direction of Islam, and therefore to prevent it they bring up such things. This is one of them, otherwise, the religion of Allah is one.
“Inna-d-dīn ‘inda Llāhi-l-Islām,” (Qur’ān 3:19). “Indeed, the religion with Allah is Islam (lit., ‘the Submission’).”
In twenty-three years, the Prophet (SAW) completed Islam in its best form. He completed it slowly, slowly. Human beings are not made perfect, but some amongst them have no idea about the religion. As they come to religion slowly, it is a good thing to invite them with tolerance, because the Prophet (SAW) did it that way. If you burden someone all of a sudden with everything, he will not be able to carry it, and might even become worse, in which case you would be responsible. It is said that [one should] make things easy, not hard. This is the way mentioned in the Holy Quran and in the sayings of the Prophet (SAW). May Allah have us as one of those who shows easiness. May it be easy also for us, because if you make it difficult, Allah will make it difficult for you. If you give someone else a hard time, the same will happen to you.
May Allah be our helper, Insha Allah. May our worldly and next life’s affairs be easy, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
77.SUSTENANCE Friday, 26 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) states, “If you had true faith, Allah would send you your sustenance (rizq).” Just as birds go out looking for their sustenance in the morning with stomachs empty, yet they come back with stomachs full later in the evening. They don’t have jobs, but Allah (JJ) provides their sustenance. Allah, who provides their sustenance, provides sustenance for people, too—so there is no need to get anxious when something goes wrong! Trust in Allah. Sustenance is from Allah.
The people who live in those countries you call the world’s most powerful, even those in the world’s most powerful and wealthiest country, are living in more difficulty than those who live in the poorest countries. They do not know what to do. Why? Because they think materialistically and of nothing else. They think that one eats if one works, and stays hungry if one doesn’t work. Allah manifests this view to them, so their disgrace may be an example.
Thanks be to Allah, though there isn’t as much wealth in our Islamic world, Allah gives blessing and everybody makes ends meet. We don’t have more than they, we have less, but when Allah ‘azza wa jalla gives barakah, that barakah is a secret and is more important than everything else. People get anxious and say, “This happened, and that happened. What are we going to do?” But there is no need [to worry like this]. The Sustainer (al-Razzāq) is Allah, the Exalted and Glorious; it is not the political administration or anything else. Allah makes a means and people, believers manage and make ends meet, without being in need of anyone, thanks be to Allah. What is important for us is to have faith. It is the most important thing. Iman is spirituality; it is power. Those without spirituality are useless. They live like grass, and die like grass.
May Allah strengthen our faith for the sake of these days, and for the sake of the day of Juma, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
78.DUTY OF A MUSLIM Saturday, 27 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
A Muslim should do good. “Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.” A Muslim does not need to live in bad, ugly places. You are to make your environment beautiful, and make yourself beautiful, so that Allah ‘azza wa jalla is happy with you. Because people eat and drink, there will certainly be some mess in our places, but the Prophet (SAW) says, “It is a sadaqa to remove dirt, trash, and stones from the path.” All the beautiful things you do are counted as sadaqa, because souls act according to beauty, whereas the nafs acts according to ugliness.
We observe old buildings—each one is like a wall painting, masha’Allah. When we look at the mosques, houses, and buildings that our forefathers made, we like them. Today’s buildings are not this way. They are piles of concrete. These piles of concrete are everywhere. Worst of all, they are building all around the Ka’aba, the heart of Islam— this is done on purpose! Those who do this are ones knowing nothing, and they have nothing to do with Islam. In every way, one must be an aesthete, sensitive to beauty, so that while you are alive, or after you have gone, people will say [of what you made], “What a beautiful piece!” These are the types of masterpieces that must be left behind. We should not say, “Oh! We will die anyway.”
In a famous hadith of the Prophet (SAW) which almost everyone knows, he said, “If you have a sapling in your hand, even if you know that you will die tomorrow, plant it!” Do not be lazy, do good! This is more important. The duty of a Muslim is to do good, to do something beautiful, to show mercy.
May Allah help us to do this, and not let it leave our remembrance. We will continue doing for the sake of Allah, so that it turns into dhikr.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
79.LEARNED MONKEYS Sunday, 30 April 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Islam is the most perfect religion sent by Allah (JJ) and brought by our Holy Prophet (SAW). Everything, every beautiful thing is in it. This is the case for this world and for the Hereafter. The perfection that people who follow it are seeking is in it. The more they follow the commands, the more they rise and the more they soar. If they don’t apply those commands, to that same degree they fall, and to that same degree they stoop. They think they are doing something good, but they are actually harming and degrading themselves.
The more a person attaches himself to religion, the more acceptable he becomes. Otherwise, what happens to a person who does not do credit to his own dignity and honor? He becomes a buffoon and nothing else. They call those who are under the control of fashion designers and what not “trained monkeys”, who are told, “Do this and do that.” They become like that. They are told, “You will wear this, and you will do that.” Whereas, if people dress as Allah orders, they would be covered, and they would be beautiful. There are things that fit each person. There is no restriction to apply them. However, when you go out beyond the command, at such time it begins to harm you. Because the things Allah commands are certainly for our own good, when you don’t do them, you are both committing sin and are harming yourself. Then they complain that there is no blessing left, and there is no peace left. There are reasons behind it. Nothing happens without a reason. Insha Allah, let us follow the commands of Allah, and let us stay away from the things Allah has forbidden us. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “In the End Times, they will forbid from doing good, and they will invite to doing evil.” May Allah protect us! These are those times. People who are attached to their religion will profit. They will be gain in every aspect. People who are distant from religion are always in a state of loss. Let them never think that they are benefiting. May Allah provide guidance. May Allah give people good sense and intelligence. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
80.THE NIGHT OF FORGIVENESS (LAYLAT UL-BAR’AH) Monday, 30 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Tonight is a holy night, the night of the 15th of Sha’bān. It is the night of kandil. The fasting takes place tomorrow, insha’Allah, but it is possible to fast today and tomorrow. Whoever is not fasting it today may fast tomorrow. What will happen to us within the next year is determined tonight. One’s provision (rizq), health, welfare, one’s life and whether one will survive throughout the year are determined tonight. Therefore between maghrib and ‘isha one should read Surat Yasin three times, [once] for one’s life to be good and long, [once] for a good healthy faith, [and once] for one’s welfare. There are specified prayers for tonight, [and] if done with a group it is better. If it is not possible to attend the group, then one must read Surat Yasin three times between maghrib and isha prayers.
Allah can change what is written or leave what is written as it is, therefore we should pray for it to be good, [and] if something bad is written may it be changed to good. Allah gives this opportunity to His servants tonight. He can change it for them. He is capable of doing everything. Nothing is difficult for him; He can change things as He wishes. That is why He, Allah ‘azza wa jalla, accepts the prayers of those who plea to Him. Therefore this holy night is an important one. With this awareness, we will value this night, will do all that is required, then will pray 100 rak‘āt of salah until fajr prayer. This is also to be done.
There is only one hundred-rak’āt prayer done per year. This prayer becomes the means to strengthen their faith. Do not say a hundred rak‘āts is too much, Hadrat Rabia Adawiyya, used to pray a thousand rak‘āts a night. When there is a hundred rak‘āts of prayer people think twice, wondering how they are going to do it. In fact, some Friends of Allah pray all night long. Some others are like Hadrat Rabia Adawiyya, may Allah be pleased with her, she prayed a thousand rak‘āts every night.
This is why it is good to pray this hundred rak‘āts. It also can be counted as a substitute for missed prayers, or for those who have not missed prayers it becomes the mean for closeness to Allah because the prayer is when one is closest to Allah. If tonight both reading Surat Yasin a number of times [and] these prayers are done Insha Allah, for all
those who fulfill these in faith, it will be good for them. Allah Insha Allah accepts their worship. May Allah blessed the night.
Blessed nights are good opportunities for us. Allah ‘azza wa jalla bestowed upon us these opportunities, [and] caused us to know their value. May Allah bless it. May Allah have us reach those years insha’Allah, with the victory of Islam, [and] with the coming of Mahdi (AS), because Satan and his folk want to wipe out Islam from the face of earth. They cannot do this, because Allah ‘azza wa jalla is blocking them. The religion is his. Otherwise, if this matter had been left to people, long ago it would have been finished. With the help of Allah ‘azza wa jalla, with the aid of Allah, Insha Allah the whole world will become Muslim. May Allah accept it. May it be blessed.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
81.THE VIRTUES OF ZIYARET Wednesday,1 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) states, “Whoever goes to visit his Muslim brother, for each step taken Allah writes one reward, erases one sin, and raises him by one station.”
A short while ago, our Abd ul-Rafi Efendi started his journey to what is considered the other side of the world. It is millions of steps. Millions of steps. Allah the Exalted and Glorious grants those for each step.
Of course it is hard to get here from so far away there, but these people only came out of compassion, for Allah, and only for the sake of Allah. Allah the Exalted and Glorious both gives them blessings and increases their lights.
Sometimes you don’t feel like going from one place to another. For them to get up and come from so far away is for Allah’s love. So there is a compassion, and it is most acceptable when compassion is for the sake of Allah. They are not coming for worldly purposes. Most people travel the world for worldly purposes, but they travel for nothing. When a person is about to go someplace, wherever it may be, he must state his intention to be for the sake of Allah and to earn his sustenance, and then it will not be in vain.
However, they are coming straight for the sake of Allah, and to find and meet their Muslim brothers. Their reward is great. May Allah bless it! May Allah increase it! May whatever troubles they have be removed. The most important thing they want is for their families to reach guidance: May Allah give them guidance, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
82.EGO SERVICE Thursday, 2 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
People see the world as a place of amusement. They are busy with their comfort, and with the amusement and satisfaction of their ego. People’s highest aim is this. Every bad habit is in the ego. Instead of training his ego, his ego trains him. They are trying to satisfy their ego. To remain as slaves of their egos is their only goal. Whether it benefits anyone or not is not even a concern. They do not care what is beneficial. People run around not to receive benefit, but just a small bit of comfort. What happens at the end of it? Nothing, nil. Sometimes things are even worse. Sometimes such things are done that result in their ego actually lowering them. Such is the case for those who do not obey Allah but their own ego. Not only non-Muslims, but Muslims too are the same. Muslims have begun to look like them, and to act how non-Muslims ask them to act, without thinking whether this brings benefit or not. What they think about is just their own comfort, their amusement and pleasing their ego.
The ego will never be happy, no matter how much you serve it. It will never be satisfied, but will always ask for more. So do not follow your ego, have it follow you! Train your ego. After training it, you will feel relaxed, but otherwise it will never let you relax. Otherwise, in this world you will be stressed out, and in the Next World you will be disappointed. May Allah protect us from our ego.
As We said, today ninety-nine percent of the world is in the service of ego, using TV, movies, and other things as means. May Allah protect us from the evil that comes from our ego, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
83.THE SPOKEN WORD FLIES, THE WRITTEN WORD REMAINS Friday, 3 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The Quran says, “When one is about to do something like business, have someone write down the specifics agreed upon.” Today most people do not keep their promises, or they forget. So it is said that it is better to write things down. Nowadays, there are notaries to make it even securer. Those who used to be called “kātib ‘ādil” are called “notaries” today. It is a bond for people, something solid for their benefit.
Most people promise, then turn away from their promises. So that one making a promise will not later be able to turn away from it, and also to prevent possible disagreements in the future, writing everything down is required. Most of the time people talk, lie, and later say, “I did not say it like that.” “If you did not say it, then what is this? It is written right here.” So then the person cannot disagree. If his intention was good, maybe he forgot the details. To forget is an attribute of mankind. So when there is anything to be done in the future, in order that we will not be guilty in front of Allah for something, and so that whatever is promised will be fulfilled, it is necessary to write everything down [in advance].
Now most people say, “If I had this, I would give this much...”, then when he has the means, he says there is no need to give. They forget their promises. They forget Allah, ‘azza wa jalla. Therefore we tell them to fulfill Allah’s order to write important details down when they intend to do something or make a promise, so that they will not forget. Otherwise, no barakah will remain for the person not keeping his promises, and he will not benefit either. The reason why Allah ‘azza wa jalla out of His mercy ordered it to be written down is so that the person will not be harmed.
This is an order. One might say now, “Oh, he is my relative,” or “We are friends,” this or that, but later no relationship remains if something goes wrong. May Allah have us amongst the sādiqīn (trustworthy ones), those who are faithful to their promises. May He not test us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
84.THE BEST WAY Sunday, 5 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Welcome to the beginning of Ramadān. It is a blessed day. This year the mawlid of Mawlānā, his ‘urs, corresponds to the second day of Ramaḍān. May Allāh be pleased with you for that occasion. Most people have come because of that. For that there is a big thawāb. Because our Prophet says when a believer visits another believer, he is forgiven one sin, he earns one thawāb and is raised up one rank. And more important is not forgetting your Shaykh, respecting your Shaykh. That is higher. Because he showed this way leading to happiness for most people. Most of our people were not Muslim. And they came to guidance thanks to him. And there were followers of Mawlānā who were Muslim but had no idea about Islām. Most were like this. However, Maa Shaa Allah, now they are living the true Islām by the barakah of Mawlānā and his support.
It is a very beautiful way. Who follows him in this world, during this short life... Some live longer, some shorter but the life of this world is short. They were together in this world and, Insha Allah, they will be so forever in Akhirah. There won't be further separation there. Separation is in this world. And, may Allāh protect us, sometimes there is separation in Akhirah. Separation within a family takes place. Someone follows this beautiful way by the favour of Allāh, and others don't. Of course, then separation takes place in Paradise and sadness comes then. When they are told, "You go this way and you go that way," they will not meet again forever. They get upset then, may Allāh protect us. But before going to Paradise, there is a pool of Kawthar, the pool of our Prophet. When they drink from the water of Kawthar, the sadness of this world, the desires and arrogance, whatever people had inside them disappears. No one is upset in Paradise. This happens and that until then but no trouble, no sadness enters through the door of Paradise.
Therefore, as we said, Mawlānā's way is the way of our Prophet. The way is the same. Keep to it. Then the Hereafter is yours. You will get happiness in Ākhirah. With the permission of Allāh, Ramaḍān starts from tonight, Insha Allah. We will pray tarāwīh. May this beautiful month be blessed for us, Insha Allah. May it be blessed for all of us. May it help Islām. May Allāh send us the Sāhib. The Ummah is without its leader. The Ummah is dealing with each other, fighting and quarrelling. They are fighting each
other.
Shayṭān and his followers are playing with us with pleasure. May Allāh send their evil back to them. Because we ask for goodness and get goodness. Who wants evil gets evil. Those who do others wrong shouldn't be happy and think they will get away with it. Who does like this is stupid. Certainly evil goes and comes circling back. Therefore, we should always ask for good things so that Allāh sends us a leader. The Islamic world is without a leader.
For the honour of Ramaḍān, Insha Allah Allāh will send the Ṣāḥib. Allāh is the Owner of the religion. Still there must be a khalīfah. The Khalīfah holds the office of our Prophet. He should be there. May Allāh send him soon. May it be blessed and good, Insha Allah.
We are welcome, Alhamdulilah, for this nice days, good holy days, blessed days. Most of you coming for Mawlid of Mawlānā Shaykh and in this time, this year, it is with Ramadān, month of fasting the blessed month in the year. It is very good occasion. Most of you come for remembrance of Mawlānā, for his anniversary and Allāh make it every year coming little bit, little bit. This year it will be in Ramadān, second day of Ramadān, Insha Allah, we celebrate with all of you. And it is there is big reward for people who are coming. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying who comes to see his brother in Islām, visit him, each step Allāh forgive from one sin and reward him and make his level one more higher.
And this for normal people and you are coming for your Shaykh, your Master, your the most beloved one for you and for believer who are you are respecting him and this love make you more sincere and more blessed. Because he is the one who saved most of you. From where save you? From to follow shayṭān. Many of this people – Mawlānā – they become to know their Lord, their religion, the real one, to know their Prophet. Because most of them they are non-Muslim, becoming Muslim. Even who are saying, "We are Muslim," they was maybe worse than these people they are not knowing anything from Islām. But, Alhamdulilah, with Mawlānā's barakah and his teaching they make them like star, like they are light. They give them light in their face, in their heart, and he save them from shayṭān and his follower and bad end. So it will be more reward for you because you are coming, visiting your Shaykh, and you are continuing his way, the way of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. His way it is real the best way. Nothing better than this. For this dunyā it is everything not good but for Ākhirah every, anything you do it is good and it is also – Allāh will after this life, Insha Allah, way going to His Divine Presence and to be together again with our Shaykh, our beloved one. And of course there is this dunyā – everything mix up especially in this days, the end of time. So people they are, when they are going to Jannah, first thing before entering door of Jannah, all our desire, what we have bad desire, it will go after drinking one cup of Kawthar. This pool
of Kawthar it is for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This make you to forget everything, forget jealousy, forget sadness, bad intention, proudness – everything. When you drink this, you going inside Jannah [with] nothing from this. Even whole people going to other side you will be not be sorry. Because there is two kind of separating – one in dunyā but this, in day of Qiyamah. We will come together again but there is another one separation also – this forever: one to this side, one to other side. That time Mawlānā was saying, "Wa-mtāzū l-yawma ayyuhā l-mujrimūn" (36:59). "Separate O bad people from good people." So sometimes father he separate from his son. Some from mother separate from her daughter or brother from his brother. And that time Mawlānā was saying this people they will be very crying there and it is because this separation forever, not only for like from dunyā to Ākhirah. And that time, so when this people coming to drinking from this water, this finish – it will be finish, nothing left from sadness from this what happen in separation, crying, to be unhappy. When they drink this they will go Jannah. In Jannah no any sadness, no any illness, no any envious – nothing from this bad thing who in our world everybody they have this. But from who going to other side it will be forever for them this.
So don't worry about you happy. You be happy with Mawlānā and be thank for him, he save you from this bad end. Allāh raise his maqām more and more and, Insha Allah, this Ramadān we will beginning from tonight, Insha Allah. Allāh make barakah and send us one who lead us. Take this separation from between believer and Muslim and not make them like toy in hand of shayṭān and his followers. Because this we are seeing – no need for enemy. It is enough we are killing each other. We are fighting with each other. We are doing bad thing for other but other they are just looking and laughing for us. Allāh, Insha Allah will send, He has promised to send someone and we are know him – Sayyidunā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. When he is coming, he will be lead all to make united of Muslims and to make whole world Muslim, Insha Allah. We are hope this because Islām it is meaning peace. Without Islām, no peace. Because Islām want good for people. Other people they are making best thing to destroy people, destroy believer and they are thought if this believer finish, it will be the world in peace. No. What you are planting, coming for you first. Planting bad thing, bad intention, bad thing also coming for you. So we are every time, we have good intention, good to people, to help people, to not fight people. But other they thought if, from their envious, if we finish this people it will be whole world for us and it will be like paradise. No Paradise in this life. Paradise in Ākhirah. And who want Paradise, he must do good thing in dunyā, not bad thing. Allāh help us and, Insha Allah, this Ramaḍān blessed and happiness for all of you, Insha Allah. Thank you for you.

85.COMMON PEOPLE AND SPECIAL PEOPLE Monday, 6 May 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The month of Ramadān is a blessed holy month. During this month, or three months to be more correct, especially in Ramaḍān, shayātīn are thrown far away with their arms and legs tied up so that they don't harm people. That is the good tidings of our Prophet. But these shayāṭīn are jinn shayāṭīn. Jinn shayāṭīn struggle throughout the year to cheat people and mislead them from their way. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla destroys everything they do. He breaks down the buildings they make during these three months. The months come as relief for believers. Their sins are forgiven and people with īmān (faith) earn thawāb (reward). Certainly now jinn shayāṭīn will be imprisoned. But there are still human shayāṭīn. They still mess everything up. They are the people worse than shaytān. They make waswasah (whisperings) to people like no shaytān makes. They do evil to mankind as was never done before. They order evil, not goodness.
And this Ramadān Sharīf is the month of beauty. It is for people to get along with their friends, relatives and neighbours. Allāh ordered it so that there is a better atmosphere. If there is anger between them, they should make up. If there is an unsolved matter, they should finish it. If someone wants to make up, he should think first, "Does this person owe me something, or do I owe him instead?" He should look at it. We should end all disagreements during Ramaḍān Sharīf. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives its reward. He gives countlessly. There are common people. Mawlānā, may Allāh raise his station, used to say sometimes seriously, sometimes jokingly, that there are ‘awāmu n-nās and khawāsu n-nās. ‘Awām means ordinary people. They call people who give more importance to dunyā – ‘awāmu n-nās. And khawās are special people. Special people are those who give more importance to Akhirah. They are people of tarīqah, people of worship. They are special people. Common people, as we said, first thing they think about is dunyā. "What shall we do? How shall we have fun? How will we be happy?" All they do is think about this. They don't think about Akhirah. There is a saying, "Al-‘awām kal-hawām." Common people are like four-legged creatures. They live for this world as if here is no Ākhirah. They are the same way though. An ordinary person, from common people, wants to be special. He wants it for dunyā. Whereas it has no use for dunyā. Try to be a special and a chosen one for Ākhirah for whom the most important thing is the pleasure of Allāh. And the pleasure of Allāh is in obeying His orders, doing what
our Prophet said, and most importantly, loving your brother in religion like your own, wishing for him what you wish for yourself. Do
