Suhbah 2021: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (8/25)

you look for your interest in that service, it will have no benefit here and it will be even worse in the hereafter.
People are doing everything for fame. They are using everything for it and they obey their ego. But the person who ruins the religion and looks for his benefit in it, he is the worst. Otherwise, they commit sins and carry their responsibilities themselves. No one follows them for what they say. But when someone says, “This is the way now. Everything has been wrong. I am correcting it now”; this is bad. Don’t go there. Don’t publish books.
Sometimes they publish books as well in order to satisfy their egos even more. When this is by the tongue, it has less effect. But when you publish books and mislead people, it is worse. They pull the anger of Allah to themselves.
Therefore, those who sell their Ākhirah for this world are never from the people that Allah and our Holy Prophet made reliable and valuable. They are people disliked by Allah. And no one loves the people disliked by Allah. They can write and plan as much as they like, but they are not loved.
Allah says in a Hadith Qudsi, “Everyone loves the one I love”. And the same goes for the ones He doesn’t love.
Therefore, people like this are always in loss, and they put others in loss. May Allah protect us from the evil of our egos and the evil of shaytan.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
78.A CHANCE TO CHANGE THE BAD WAY Thursday, 27 May 2021
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.
Allah delays but does not neglect. Allah says: ‘Leave them awhile.’ (Qur’ān 86:17).
Allah gives a chance in this world, but He does not forget. He gives people time and a chance for them to change their ways. But mankind says that there is nothing and keeps on their way. They walk in the wrong direction and on the wrong way. If they don’t change it, they will have a dangerous outcome. If they change it, they will reach the forgiveness and mercy of Allah and their end will be good.
They say that everything they do starts off well but ends up badly. And if it is so in worldly matters, it is the matters of Ākhirah that are even more important. We have to change it in order to have a good ending. A person on a bad way should change it in order to have a good ending.
When there is no good ending, they can have the best beginnings just as their egos prefer, but there will be no benefit. The ego does not like the good. The ego destroys the man eventually. A person who doesn’t control his ego and doesn’t come to the right way has a bad ending. May Allah protect us.
This world is cheating people. People who relied on this world and assumed themselves to be something got disappointed. Mankind
should take example. Allah says that you should take example from everything so that you have benefit.
If you just stare like the cattle, there will be no benefit. The cattle are the cows and bulls. You think that they’re looking at something, whereas they just stare blankly. We should not be like them. We have to look at everything as an example. We have to get benefit from everything and stay away from useless things.
May Allah help us distinguish between the good and the bad. It is nice to choose the good from people, things, animals; everything. To be with the bad is not good.
May Allah help us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
79.TALK TO PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THEIR LEVEL Friday, 28 May 2021
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.
Some people get upset and trouble themselves for unnecessary reasons. Why? Because they deal with people they should not have dealt with. They don’t know whom to talk to. Everyone has their duty. As everyone does not have equal Adab and education, there are many people who put themselves in trouble. You have to understand that you should talk to everyone according to their level and intellect.
A Hadith Sharif says, I think it is a Hadith of our Holy Prophet, Allah knows. Speak to people according to their intellect. When you speak to a clever person cleverly, he understands. Those who are not clever do not understand. You attempt for nothing and get upset. And then they tell you bad words that you get angry and start speaking even more trying to defend yourself. It will get worse and turn into a fight then. Your level will go down then. It is because there are people who are low and those who are higher and higher.
Do not deal with people who are low. If you try to explain the issue to them when they speak, it is useless. If you try to explain to them the truth, they won’t understand. It is better not to deal with them at all. You go down to their level when you deal with bad ones.
Our Holy Prophet has a famous Hadith. Someone was swearing at Sayyidina Abu Bakr in front of our Holy Prophet. Sayyidina Abu Bakr stayed patient and did not reply. Our Holy Prophet smiled and kept
silent. Sayyidina Abu Bakr showed patience till he gave a reply with Adab at last. Our Holy Prophet left the place immediately. Adab comes from our Holy Prophet. He has the highest Adab. He has never shouted at someone or got upset at anyone. When he didn’t like something, he would remain quiet or leave.
Sayyidina Abu Bakr (ra) understood that there was a mistake and asked him, “What is it, ya RasuluLlah? Why did you leave? What was my mistake? You got upset and left, whereas you were smiling when he was swearing at me”. Our Holy Prophet said, “When he was swearing at you, Allah assigned an angel for you who was replying to that man. When you started speaking, shaytan arrived. I don’t stay in the presence of shaytan. That is why I left”.
People assume that they are doing something good. And when they want to defend themselves, it is not defense anymore but self-harm.
Therefore, everyone should evaluate the person in front of them whether he is worth talking to. If he is worth it, you can talk. If he is not worth it, it is better not to deal with him at all. That’s because some people are low, as we said. And you fall down with them. You go down to their level. May Allah protect us. May Allah help us control our ego and may He make us successful in that.
It is the ego because we think that we are doing something good, whereas that goodness turns out as badness to ourselves. May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
80.THE GREATER COURT Saturday, 30 May 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: Allah says: ‘And mankind was created weak.’ (Qur’ān 04:28). Mankind is created weak. They are created weak, yet people are stronger than everything else in this world. Allah gave willpower along with weakness to people. Among all other creatures, they are so strong that nothing escapes from them even though they are weak. It is the will of Allah.
They can be weak spiritually and physically. When you are weak spiritually, it has no benefit to be strong physically. They should be strong in spirituality in order to save their afterlife. If you are not on the right way with strength in this world, there can be no profit. Those who think that they are in profit are cheating themselves.
If the strong oppresses the weak in this world, only harm comes from this strength, not benefit. They oppress people and animals. This oppression will be questioned later. They should not think that they are in profit by oppressing someone.
People have been here living for thousands of years. For thousands of years, they have been oppressing each other. Sometimes millions of people are oppressing, sometimes thousands of people are oppressing. People died and if their rights are not paid in this world, they will
certainly be accounted in Ākhirah. There is no escape. There is no escape at all.
A hundred years have passed and those people were not taken to the court. They showed oppression and passed away. There are similar oppressions that took place 50-60 years ago. Again, nothing happened until the end of their lives. People should not be upset. All of them will be punished. The greater court will take place and everyone will get their right. Oppressors will be punished and they will wish that they were punished in this world. It will be so tough and hard. Therefore, do not think that you can escape with your oppression. You can escape in this world, but there is no escape in Ākhirah.
Oppression has been made to people who serve Islam, to Islam and to humanity. Why? Because shaytan wants it. Oppression is the glory of shaytan, not that of Allah. And Allah will punish the oppressors. May Allah protect us from the evil of our ego. May we not oppress anyone Insha Allah. Allah will question the oppressors. If they paid each other’s rights in this world, it is fine. If not, there will certainly be a punishment in Ākhirah.
Of course, Muslims and believers cannot be happy with oppression, but they should be sure that their rights will be paid. They should have a strong Iman. They should not be upset thinking that oppressors are saved. They are not saved. Those who believe in Ākhirah will believe in this too, Insha Allah. May Allah give strength to our Iman.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
81.EXCEPT ITS CAPACITY Sunday, 31 May 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah says: ‘Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.’ (Qur’ān 02:286).
Allah is The Beneficent and The Most Merciful. He did not give you a burden you cannot carry. Whatever orders are needed to be carried out, Allah has permitted everyone to do them according to their abilities. People should do what they can. As for what they cannot do, Allah will forgive it. It is important to start doing good deeds. To keep doing them is a good thing. They should do as much as they can.
Fasting and praying - you must of course do these. After that, learning to read Qur’an or memorizing it by heart. Of course, not everyone can memorize the Qur’an by heart. And those who memorized it should keep it. Otherwise, you have its responsibility. Even if you memorized just a little, you still have to keep it and not forget it.
Of course, non-Arabs and those who do not know Arabic can read as much as they can. Some people say that they cannot read or that they read with mistakes. Allah has special angels for this. These angels correct the mistakes in your reading of Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan and take it to the presence of Allah. Some people say that they read wrongly so they will not read in order to avoid committing a sin. You will not commit a sin Allah willing. It is good tidings from our Holy Prophet.
Even if you read with mistakes, angels are correcting them and taking it to the presence of Allah.
Angels are not like us. Allah created them in such way that they never get tired. They have this specialty of performing their duty perfectly. While mankind does it incompletely, they certainly complete their duties.
When people say, “I read Qur’an wrongly. There is not a word I read right”. Never mind. Allah will assign these angels for it and it is not hard for them.
The creatures of Allah are uncountable. They are so many. The knowledge of, is incomprehensible. Therefore, as long as people are on the way of Allah, everything is easy for them. Even angels are in their servanthood to correct their mistakes.
It is same with the angels on our left and right who write down our deeds. They write good deeds immediately. And when there is a sin, they wait so that you correct it. They wait for eight hours before writing it down. They don’t write it immediately. The kindness and mercy of Allah are unlimited. May Allah not let us separate from this beautiful way.
When people do not get tired and do not rebel, they live with Islam and Iman and have a comfortable life. They have happiness here and will have happiness hereafter.
May Allah give us all Iman and make us firm Insha Allah. It is an important thing. We should always ask for this because we may slip on this beautiful and easy way by envying others.
We shouldn’t leave this way. Those who left it or are not on this way have fallen down the cliff. They have no happiness, no light and no good qualities. There is nothing to envy them for or to take example from them. The one who does so lacks in mind. Even though they look
attractive in the photos or in distance, you cannot come close to them. They have become slaves of their egos. Nothing good comes from them. We should stay away from them. We should stay away from people who are not on the way of Allah. We should only feel pity for them.
May Allah protect us and make us firm on this way Insha Allah. May Allah give guidance to those people Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
82.CONTENTMENT IS AN ENDLESS TREASURE Tuesday, 1 June 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah says: ‘’And do good.’’ (Qur’ān 22:77). Allah says to do goodness. Do not be away from goodness. Whoever does goodness gets goodness. And whoever does evil gets evil.
There is an Ayah Karimah of Allah, whoever does evil will be punished both here and hereafter. A person who thinks that he will be in comfort and peace after doing evil is a liar. He will have neither blessings nor goodness from his lie. It will bring no benefit to him. Allah has given mankind work and little earning from permitted ways, so he can live with blessings and comfort.
People of this time have greed. They’ve always had it, but people of the present time have it much more. They desire goods that belong to others. It brings unrest to them and discomfort to others. Therefore, contentment is one of the greatest favors of Allah. Contentment is an undiminishing treasure.”contentment is an endless treasure. When there is contentment, people are satisfied with a little. Contentment is the opposite of greed. As much as there is impudence in greed, so is beauty in contentment. No matter how much you give the ego, it still asks if there is even more. When you control your ego and have contentment, you are fine with the little things. Otherwise, it is like pouring more fuel into fire. It does not reject it and burns stronger. But
when it comes to contentment, you get both blessings and comfort with the little things. You are not greedy for other people’s goods and things. Allah created mankind and gave them ego. If they do not capture their ego, it is the same no matter where. You can be Muslim or Kafir, believer or unbeliever, it is the same. Do not rely on your ego and say that you can do something. Control your ego. Always be careful because its end will not be good. You will have no peace here or hereafter.
There are secrets that Allah shared with people. If you catch this secret, your life will be comfortable. The secret is well-known; it is not a hidden secret. How can a person live on a little? It is by the wisdom of Allah and the will of Allah. When He says, “Be”, it happens. It is clear and it is Allah’s knowledge. No one can reach Allah’s knowledge.
Therefore, it seems like a secret. There is no other explanation for this. Things which are told to people and especially to Muslims are for their benefit. They’ve got this secret inside them. Whoever finds it reaches this beauty. Those who don’t, they try and fail. And they want to question Allah for this. You must have some faults if you fail. The biggest fault is lack of Adab. They are questioning Allah. It is foolishness and lack of Adab. It means you have a flaw for it didn’t work out.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not separate us from Adab or from the right way. May Allah give strength to our Iman Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
83.OUR BODY IS A TRUST Wednesday, 2 June 2021
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.
Allah created people in the best shape. It is a trust. Everyone’s body is a trust to them. They have to take care of that trust. They should look into what benefits it and stay away from things that harm it. You should keep your body healthy because Allah gave all kinds of instructions to keep your body healthy. The most important of them is to pray and fast. All of them are useful spiritually and physically to mankind, but mankind is running away from them. They do sports and take things that are useless to the body, whereas people can use this trust, their bodies gently and healthily throughout their lives. They should be careful.
There are some things which are Sunnah of our Holy Prophet. They only bring benefit to people, no harm at all. Among those of our Holy Prophet’s is fasting.
And there is Hijama, blood cupping. It is time for it now. Blood cupping is beneficial to people. Now is the best time of the year for blood cupping. If there is a need, it can be done in other times too. But to make it once a year is enough for people. If someone is sick and needs more, two times a year is fine. People say that they are blood cupping specialists, but they don’t understand anything from it. They make it once a week or once a month. It is wrong. Blood is a difficult matter. There is no need to waste it. And then when you have blood cupping done, you perform the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet. You will protect
yourself from many sicknesses. And your age should be above 30 years. No need to make it below that age unless there is a necessity. It is much better after the age of 30.
The biggest benefit of it is for the blood pressure. Our Holy Prophet would say blood is pumping. Blood is pumping meaning high blood pressure. It is beneficial in such things. It has many other benefits. But as we said, they turned it into business. They make profit from it. When you make profit from it, you take away the trust. While a person hopes to get health and perform the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet, you may infect him with a disease when there is no complete hygiene. And then you are responsible for it.
As we said, your body is your trust. You should look for good masters. You can look and choose the best in everything. There is no prevention. You should not say, “I am a dervish. It is fine any way”. It is wrong. You should respect and guard your trust, your body insha’Allah.
May Allah give us good health. May we perform the good Sunnahs of our Holy Prophet as much as we can Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
84.THE END OF TIMES IS NEAR Thursday, 3 June 2021
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. Allah appointed a time for everything. When the time comes, things happen. People want some things to happen but unless the time comes, they don’t happen. It is by the will of Allah, Ahsan ul-Khaliqeen, ‘The Best of Creators’, subhanAllah.
Allah created everything in the best shape. From the smallest things to the largest, Allah created everything by a measure. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: And everything with Him is by due measure.” (Qur’ān 13:08). Everything has its “ time and measure”.
Where will it come from? Where will it go? How will it be? Not only yours, but the mind of whole universe cannot comprehend the power of Allah. The universe rotates by this power. Therefore, if something is to happen, it doesn’t happen with you pushing it. Some of your work may occur. Things that will happen in this world do so with His knowledge and His will.
The world has existed for thousands of years since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s- salam. The world is certainly older than ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. But the time of the sons of Adam has been since thousands of years. This time is about to finish. Allah knows how much is left. It is very close. The Awliya know everything with the will of Allah. Allah shared it with very few people, and they don’t tell when it will be. But they give good tidings about it coming close. Allah is giving good tidings in Qur’an
‘Azimu sh-Shan that the end of times is near. Allah knows how long it has been since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until now. However, we are close to the end of times. The time of the sons of Adam is about to be over.
People should take measures and prepare themselves accordingly. People are going wilder and committing more sins. They are rebelling more. They think that they will stay here forever. Even if you are here forever, your life will be over and you will go to Ākhirah.
The time of mankind and this world is about to finish. Allah knows if we will be alive in an hour. Therefore, we should think about why we are living here. Believers are in safety. Submit to Islam and be saved. Otherwise, neither you, nor this world will remain. What will remain is Ākhirah. We have to be prepared for it. We have to know that it is our true homeland. We have to prepare ourselves accordingly. And preparation is to carry out Allah’s orders.
Allah doesn’t give hardship to anyone. It is easy. Do it and go on. Whenever its time/ the hour comes, you will leave in safety and peace. May Allah give us safety of Iman and protect us from the evil of shaytan.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
85.MAKE THE PASSED ONES HAPPY Friday, 4 June 2021
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 who passed away to Ākhirah come on Friday nights and Mondays to visit their families spiritually. The biggest gift for them is to read the Qur’an, make Dhikr and to make charity in their names. As they are not in this world anymore, you cannot give them food or drinks. You cannot hand them money as a gift as well. You can do these things in their name. Make charity and do goodness to the needy and poor ones. It makes them happy. They wait for us to recite Ayat of the Qur’an and to make Dhikr and Salawat. It brings great joy to them. They come and watch their families spiritually. If they are fine, they are happy.
There is happiness for families who are as Allah loves and orders. Otherwise, there will be sadness. In order to make them happy, you should be on the right way. You should carry out Allah’s orders so that they benefit from it. This is regarding the souls of believers. Because when the souls are captured, believers are in paradise and Kafirs are in hell. They cannot come to their families. Only the believers come to their families and observe them spiritually. If they are fine, they are happy. If they are not fine, they are sad.
People get sad and frustrated when someone dies. Believers are not frustrated, as it is the order of Allah. No one can escape from it. If you want to do something, do goodness in their name. Your sadness will be gone, and their sadness will be gone too. They will be in peace.
When you make a prayer while passing by a cemetery, everyone in that cemetery becomes happy. It is because most people have no one to pray for them. Allah shows kindness to all of them. Most of the suffering people get benefit from these prayers and Allah lightens their suffering or lifts it completely.
This is what our Holy Prophet and all the Awliya after him say because they know in what situation people in the graves are. Sometimes they look spiritually and see the suffering of these people. They are having a tough punishment. They look once again and see that their suffering is over. Why? Because a pious person is nearby, or because people recited for them while passing by. Allah lifts the suffering of the grave with their Barakah. It is a big favor from Allah. Allah’s mercy is great. He causes means for people to earn His mercy. One Ayah, one Salawat or Dhikr brings great benefit to people.
May Allah accept all the recitations sent from all over the world. May Allah be pleased. It has become a tradition. People make Dua and Khatms of the Qur’an. We dedicate all the Khatms, all the recited Surahs and Ayats, Dhikr and Salawat, all the recitations firstly to our Holy Prophet and then to the souls of his family, his great Sahabah, all the prophets, saints and Mashkayikh. Whatever good wishes they have, may they come true. May it be means to happiness here and hereafter Insha Allah.
For the souls of our loved ones, especially Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Hala Sultan.
LiLlahi Ta’ala Al-Fatiha.
86.BEWARE OF STINGINESS Saturday, 5 June 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Wa man yuqa shuh-ha nafsihi faula’ika humu l-muflihun.” (Qur’ān 59:09).
Allah says in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan: ‘And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.’
Those who are protected from the evil of their ego, are in profit. “Shuh” means the worst level of stinginess because the ego wants it. It comes from faithlessness. “Shuh” means stinginess and meanness, and they are bad things. The ego does not want to give Sadaqah, or help, or obey Allah.
Our Holy Prophet says in Hadith Sharif to beware of stinginess. It commands to be stingy. It commands to be stingy and it is the sickness that has destroyed the nations before you. It had ordered them to be stingy, so they became stingy. It had ordered them not to help, so they did not help. It had ordered not to visit relatives. All bad things come from too much stinginess. Every bad thing comes from this thing called “Shuh”.
It is the same in this world. People fight because of it, quarrel because of it, kill each other because of it and do not do goodness. It is one of the
biggest tools of shaytan and the favorite thing of the ego. Mankind, Muslims and non-Muslims, should leave it. But of course, non-Muslims say, “This is mine. I won’t give it. I won’t help anyone”. Even though they seem to help, there is this group of non-Muslims who mess with the whole world. They think that they are helping and by wishing to help people or a country, they destroy the whole country. They are destroying it directly or, even worse, discreetly by seeming to help and making judgments. Whereas they are drowning in their dirt and lying in a hollow. And then they are teaching others, pointing at their dirt. They think that they are helping and doing something good. When they do something good, a thousand bad things come out of it, may Allah protect us.
We should not be cheated by them. We should not believe them. The one who believes them is stupid. A person should think about what is behind it when someone from them helps him. Did he repent? Even if he did repent, one should still be cautious if something will come out of it. These people do not want any goodness to Muslims. Islam is their biggest enemy. They are the accomplices of shaytan. And shaytan will never befriend Islam and Muslims. May Allah protect us from their evil.
The end of times has come. Their traps will return to them. As our Holy Prophet said in his Hadith Sharif, too much greed and too much stinginess make people do all kinds of evil.
Mankind makes these mistakes because of his greed. Muslims should not make them. Our Holy Prophet tells to be careful and to leave this bad attribute. It has no benefit but only harm. May Allah protect us. It destroys you. It destroys you here and hereafter, which is worse. May Allah protect us from the evil of our ego and bad attributes. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
87.WE ARE TRAVELERS Sunday, 6 June 2021
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.
Insha Allah there is a journey today. Many months later, we will be visiting the Maqam of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. It has been a long break. Insha Allah there is only physical distance, but spiritually he is always with us. Our Holy Prophet is also with us every moment because when you make Salawat, he responds to your Salawat, our Holy Prophet says. The light and blessings of our Holy Prophet are upon us. There is not a second that the whole world is not making Salawat. When you make Salawat, our Holy Prophet responds right away. There is not a second that he is not present. They say, “What do you ask from the dead?” Those who say so, are dead themselves. Our Holy Prophet is alive. It is the truth. Allah told about his aliveness “And know that among you is the Messenger of Allah.” (Qur’ān 49:07). This good tidings is enough for people, but they do not understand.
We are travelers in this world, travelers on our journey to Ākhirah. That is the point of destination. And we travel sometimes within the world. We have to take lesson from it. When we leave, people get upset here and become happy there. It is the same in Ākhirah. If you are a good person, people are sad when you pass away. And they are happily waiting for you in the hereafter.
Also when you come from there to here, the people here are happy. This is the situation of the world. Eventually, the journey to Ākhirah is important. How lucky is whoever earns it. Thank Allah, He let us be on this way. It is a favor from Allah to people. Allah gave everyone something. Thank Allah, He put us on this true way. May we be firm on this way. May we not obey our ego. May we remain on this beautiful way until our last breath to Ākhirah.
This world is not important. Today was such and such. It has been the same since its creation, since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. Certainly, something will happen. This world is not paradise. Paradise is in Ākhirah. To have paradise in Ākhirah, you should make paradise in this world. Believers are not uncomfortable with anything. They say, “We are created as beautiful and we are on this beautiful way. Thank Allah, this is the greatest beauty.”
Whatever happens, true believers see any hardship of this world as beautiful. They say, “It came from Allah, so it is beautiful. Everything good and bad from You is beautiful”. And everything beautiful is paradise. No matter how much hardship there is, as we are on the true way, it is paradise.
We are living in the end of times. Every day is harder for the whole world. There is no exclusion. Every day is tougher. But for believers, for those who are firm in their faith, it is paradise Allah willing. People with Iman are in paradise here and hereafter Allah willing.
May Allah make us firm and give strength to our Iman so that our hearts are firm. Do not worry about what happens. Who is worried has weak Iman. May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
88.ISLĀM CANNOT BE CHANGED Wednesday, 9 June 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

you look for your interest in that service, it will have no benefit here and it will be even worse in the hereafter.
People are doing everything for fame. They are using everything for it and they obey their ego. But the person who ruins the religion and looks for his benefit in it, he is the worst. Otherwise, they commit sins and carry their responsibilities themselves. No one follows them for what they say. But when someone says, “This is the way now. Everything has been wrong. I am correcting it now”; this is bad. Don’t go there. Don’t publish books.
Sometimes they publish books as well in order to satisfy their egos even more. When this is by the tongue, it has less effect. But when you publish books and mislead people, it is worse. They pull the anger of Allah to themselves.
Therefore, those who sell their Ākhirah for this world are never from the people that Allah and our Holy Prophet made reliable and valuable. They are people disliked by Allah. And no one loves the people disliked by Allah. They can write and plan as much as they like, but they are not loved.
Allah says in a Hadith Qudsi, “Everyone loves the one I love”. And the same goes for the ones He doesn’t love.
Therefore, people like this are always in loss, and they put others in loss. May Allah protect us from the evil of our egos and the evil of shaytan.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
78.A CHANCE TO CHANGE THE BAD WAY Thursday, 27 May 2021
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.
Allah delays but does not neglect. Allah says: ‘Leave them awhile.’ (Qur’ān 86:17).
Allah gives a chance in this world, but He does not forget. He gives people time and a chance for them to change their ways. But mankind says that there is nothing and keeps on their way. They walk in the wrong direction and on the wrong way. If they don’t change it, they will have a dangerous outcome. If they change it, they will reach the forgiveness and mercy of Allah and their end will be good.
They say that everything they do starts off well but ends up badly. And if it is so in worldly matters, it is the matters of Ākhirah that are even more important. We have to change it in order to have a good ending. A person on a bad way should change it in order to have a good ending.
When there is no good ending, they can have the best beginnings just as their egos prefer, but there will be no benefit. The ego does not like the good. The ego destroys the man eventually. A person who doesn’t control his ego and doesn’t come to the right way has a bad ending. May Allah protect us.
This world is cheating people. People who relied on this world and assumed themselves to be something got disappointed. Mankind
should take example. Allah says that you should take example from everything so that you have benefit.
If you just stare like the cattle, there will be no benefit. The cattle are the cows and bulls. You think that they’re looking at something, whereas they just stare blankly. We should not be like them. We have to look at everything as an example. We have to get benefit from everything and stay away from useless things.
May Allah help us distinguish between the good and the bad. It is nice to choose the good from people, things, animals; everything. To be with the bad is not good.
May Allah help us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
79.TALK TO PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THEIR LEVEL Friday, 28 May 2021
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.
Some people get upset and trouble themselves for unnecessary reasons. Why? Because they deal with people they should not have dealt with. They don’t know whom to talk to. Everyone has their duty. As everyone does not have equal Adab and education, there are many people who put themselves in trouble. You have to understand that you should talk to everyone according to their level and intellect.
A Hadith Sharif says, I think it is a Hadith of our Holy Prophet, Allah knows. Speak to people according to their intellect. When you speak to a clever person cleverly, he understands. Those who are not clever do not understand. You attempt for nothing and get upset. And then they tell you bad words that you get angry and start speaking even more trying to defend yourself. It will get worse and turn into a fight then. Your level will go down then. It is because there are people who are low and those who are higher and higher.
Do not deal with people who are low. If you try to explain the issue to them when they speak, it is useless. If you try to explain to them the truth, they won’t understand. It is better not to deal with them at all. You go down to their level when you deal with bad ones.
Our Holy Prophet has a famous Hadith. Someone was swearing at Sayyidina Abu Bakr in front of our Holy Prophet. Sayyidina Abu Bakr stayed patient and did not reply. Our Holy Prophet smiled and kept
silent. Sayyidina Abu Bakr showed patience till he gave a reply with Adab at last. Our Holy Prophet left the place immediately. Adab comes from our Holy Prophet. He has the highest Adab. He has never shouted at someone or got upset at anyone. When he didn’t like something, he would remain quiet or leave.
Sayyidina Abu Bakr (ra) understood that there was a mistake and asked him, “What is it, ya RasuluLlah? Why did you leave? What was my mistake? You got upset and left, whereas you were smiling when he was swearing at me”. Our Holy Prophet said, “When he was swearing at you, Allah assigned an angel for you who was replying to that man. When you started speaking, shaytan arrived. I don’t stay in the presence of shaytan. That is why I left”.
People assume that they are doing something good. And when they want to defend themselves, it is not defense anymore but self-harm.
Therefore, everyone should evaluate the person in front of them whether he is worth talking to. If he is worth it, you can talk. If he is not worth it, it is better not to deal with him at all. That’s because some people are low, as we said. And you fall down with them. You go down to their level. May Allah protect us. May Allah help us control our ego and may He make us successful in that.
It is the ego because we think that we are doing something good, whereas that goodness turns out as badness to ourselves. May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
80.THE GREATER COURT Saturday, 30 May 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: Allah says: ‘And mankind was created weak.’ (Qur’ān 04:28). Mankind is created weak. They are created weak, yet people are stronger than everything else in this world. Allah gave willpower along with weakness to people. Among all other creatures, they are so strong that nothing escapes from them even though they are weak. It is the will of Allah.
They can be weak spiritually and physically. When you are weak spiritually, it has no benefit to be strong physically. They should be strong in spirituality in order to save their afterlife. If you are not on the right way with strength in this world, there can be no profit. Those who think that they are in profit are cheating themselves.
If the strong oppresses the weak in this world, only harm comes from this strength, not benefit. They oppress people and animals. This oppression will be questioned later. They should not think that they are in profit by oppressing someone.
People have been here living for thousands of years. For thousands of years, they have been oppressing each other. Sometimes millions of people are oppressing, sometimes thousands of people are oppressing. People died and if their rights are not paid in this world, they will
certainly be accounted in Ākhirah. There is no escape. There is no escape at all.
A hundred years have passed and those people were not taken to the court. They showed oppression and passed away. There are similar oppressions that took place 50-60 years ago. Again, nothing happened until the end of their lives. People should not be upset. All of them will be punished. The greater court will take place and everyone will get their right. Oppressors will be punished and they will wish that they were punished in this world. It will be so tough and hard. Therefore, do not think that you can escape with your oppression. You can escape in this world, but there is no escape in Ākhirah.
Oppression has been made to people who serve Islam, to Islam and to humanity. Why? Because shaytan wants it. Oppression is the glory of shaytan, not that of Allah. And Allah will punish the oppressors. May Allah protect us from the evil of our ego. May we not oppress anyone Insha Allah. Allah will question the oppressors. If they paid each other’s rights in this world, it is fine. If not, there will certainly be a punishment in Ākhirah.
Of course, Muslims and believers cannot be happy with oppression, but they should be sure that their rights will be paid. They should have a strong Iman. They should not be upset thinking that oppressors are saved. They are not saved. Those who believe in Ākhirah will believe in this too, Insha Allah. May Allah give strength to our Iman.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
81.EXCEPT ITS CAPACITY Sunday, 31 May 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah says: ‘Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.’ (Qur’ān 02:286).
Allah is The Beneficent and The Most Merciful. He did not give you a burden you cannot carry. Whatever orders are needed to be carried out, Allah has permitted everyone to do them according to their abilities. People should do what they can. As for what they cannot do, Allah will forgive it. It is important to start doing good deeds. To keep doing them is a good thing. They should do as much as they can.
Fasting and praying - you must of course do these. After that, learning to read Qur’an or memorizing it by heart. Of course, not everyone can memorize the Qur’an by heart. And those who memorized it should keep it. Otherwise, you have its responsibility. Even if you memorized just a little, you still have to keep it and not forget it.
Of course, non-Arabs and those who do not know Arabic can read as much as they can. Some people say that they cannot read or that they read with mistakes. Allah has special angels for this. These angels correct the mistakes in your reading of Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan and take it to the presence of Allah. Some people say that they read wrongly so they will not read in order to avoid committing a sin. You will not commit a sin Allah willing. It is good tidings from our Holy Prophet.
Even if you read with mistakes, angels are correcting them and taking it to the presence of Allah.
Angels are not like us. Allah created them in such way that they never get tired. They have this specialty of performing their duty perfectly. While mankind does it incompletely, they certainly complete their duties.
When people say, “I read Qur’an wrongly. There is not a word I read right”. Never mind. Allah will assign these angels for it and it is not hard for them.
The creatures of Allah are uncountable. They are so many. The knowledge of, is incomprehensible. Therefore, as long as people are on the way of Allah, everything is easy for them. Even angels are in their servanthood to correct their mistakes.
It is same with the angels on our left and right who write down our deeds. They write good deeds immediately. And when there is a sin, they wait so that you correct it. They wait for eight hours before writing it down. They don’t write it immediately. The kindness and mercy of Allah are unlimited. May Allah not let us separate from this beautiful way.
When people do not get tired and do not rebel, they live with Islam and Iman and have a comfortable life. They have happiness here and will have happiness hereafter.
May Allah give us all Iman and make us firm Insha Allah. It is an important thing. We should always ask for this because we may slip on this beautiful and easy way by envying others.
We shouldn’t leave this way. Those who left it or are not on this way have fallen down the cliff. They have no happiness, no light and no good qualities. There is nothing to envy them for or to take example from them. The one who does so lacks in mind. Even though they look
attractive in the photos or in distance, you cannot come close to them. They have become slaves of their egos. Nothing good comes from them. We should stay away from them. We should stay away from people who are not on the way of Allah. We should only feel pity for them.
May Allah protect us and make us firm on this way Insha Allah. May Allah give guidance to those people Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
82.CONTENTMENT IS AN ENDLESS TREASURE Tuesday, 1 June 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah says: ‘’And do good.’’ (Qur’ān 22:77). Allah says to do goodness. Do not be away from goodness. Whoever does goodness gets goodness. And whoever does evil gets evil.
There is an Ayah Karimah of Allah, whoever does evil will be punished both here and hereafter. A person who thinks that he will be in comfort and peace after doing evil is a liar. He will have neither blessings nor goodness from his lie. It will bring no benefit to him. Allah has given mankind work and little earning from permitted ways, so he can live with blessings and comfort.
People of this time have greed. They’ve always had it, but people of the present time have it much more. They desire goods that belong to others. It brings unrest to them and discomfort to others. Therefore, contentment is one of the greatest favors of Allah. Contentment is an undiminishing treasure.”contentment is an endless treasure. When there is contentment, people are satisfied with a little. Contentment is the opposite of greed. As much as there is impudence in greed, so is beauty in contentment. No matter how much you give the ego, it still asks if there is even more. When you control your ego and have contentment, you are fine with the little things. Otherwise, it is like pouring more fuel into fire. It does not reject it and burns stronger. But
when it comes to contentment, you get both blessings and comfort with the little things. You are not greedy for other people’s goods and things. Allah created mankind and gave them ego. If they do not capture their ego, it is the same no matter where. You can be Muslim or Kafir, believer or unbeliever, it is the same. Do not rely on your ego and say that you can do something. Control your ego. Always be careful because its end will not be good. You will have no peace here or hereafter.
There are secrets that Allah shared with people. If you catch this secret, your life will be comfortable. The secret is well-known; it is not a hidden secret. How can a person live on a little? It is by the wisdom of Allah and the will of Allah. When He says, “Be”, it happens. It is clear and it is Allah’s knowledge. No one can reach Allah’s knowledge.
Therefore, it seems like a secret. There is no other explanation for this. Things which are told to people and especially to Muslims are for their benefit. They’ve got this secret inside them. Whoever finds it reaches this beauty. Those who don’t, they try and fail. And they want to question Allah for this. You must have some faults if you fail. The biggest fault is lack of Adab. They are questioning Allah. It is foolishness and lack of Adab. It means you have a flaw for it didn’t work out.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not separate us from Adab or from the right way. May Allah give strength to our Iman Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
83.OUR BODY IS A TRUST Wednesday, 2 June 2021
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.
Allah created people in the best shape. It is a trust. Everyone’s body is a trust to them. They have to take care of that trust. They should look into what benefits it and stay away from things that harm it. You should keep your body healthy because Allah gave all kinds of instructions to keep your body healthy. The most important of them is to pray and fast. All of them are useful spiritually and physically to mankind, but mankind is running away from them. They do sports and take things that are useless to the body, whereas people can use this trust, their bodies gently and healthily throughout their lives. They should be careful.
There are some things which are Sunnah of our Holy Prophet. They only bring benefit to people, no harm at all. Among those of our Holy Prophet’s is fasting.
And there is Hijama, blood cupping. It is time for it now. Blood cupping is beneficial to people. Now is the best time of the year for blood cupping. If there is a need, it can be done in other times too. But to make it once a year is enough for people. If someone is sick and needs more, two times a year is fine. People say that they are blood cupping specialists, but they don’t understand anything from it. They make it once a week or once a month. It is wrong. Blood is a difficult matter. There is no need to waste it. And then when you have blood cupping done, you perform the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet. You will protect
yourself from many sicknesses. And your age should be above 30 years. No need to make it below that age unless there is a necessity. It is much better after the age of 30.
The biggest benefit of it is for the blood pressure. Our Holy Prophet would say blood is pumping. Blood is pumping meaning high blood pressure. It is beneficial in such things. It has many other benefits. But as we said, they turned it into business. They make profit from it. When you make profit from it, you take away the trust. While a person hopes to get health and perform the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet, you may infect him with a disease when there is no complete hygiene. And then you are responsible for it.
As we said, your body is your trust. You should look for good masters. You can look and choose the best in everything. There is no prevention. You should not say, “I am a dervish. It is fine any way”. It is wrong. You should respect and guard your trust, your body insha’Allah.
May Allah give us good health. May we perform the good Sunnahs of our Holy Prophet as much as we can Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
84.THE END OF TIMES IS NEAR Thursday, 3 June 2021
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. Allah appointed a time for everything. When the time comes, things happen. People want some things to happen but unless the time comes, they don’t happen. It is by the will of Allah, Ahsan ul-Khaliqeen, ‘The Best of Creators’, subhanAllah.
Allah created everything in the best shape. From the smallest things to the largest, Allah created everything by a measure. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: And everything with Him is by due measure.” (Qur’ān 13:08). Everything has its “ time and measure”.
Where will it come from? Where will it go? How will it be? Not only yours, but the mind of whole universe cannot comprehend the power of Allah. The universe rotates by this power. Therefore, if something is to happen, it doesn’t happen with you pushing it. Some of your work may occur. Things that will happen in this world do so with His knowledge and His will.
The world has existed for thousands of years since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s- salam. The world is certainly older than ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. But the time of the sons of Adam has been since thousands of years. This time is about to finish. Allah knows how much is left. It is very close. The Awliya know everything with the will of Allah. Allah shared it with very few people, and they don’t tell when it will be. But they give good tidings about it coming close. Allah is giving good tidings in Qur’an
‘Azimu sh-Shan that the end of times is near. Allah knows how long it has been since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until now. However, we are close to the end of times. The time of the sons of Adam is about to be over.
People should take measures and prepare themselves accordingly. People are going wilder and committing more sins. They are rebelling more. They think that they will stay here forever. Even if you are here forever, your life will be over and you will go to Ākhirah.
The time of mankind and this world is about to finish. Allah knows if we will be alive in an hour. Therefore, we should think about why we are living here. Believers are in safety. Submit to Islam and be saved. Otherwise, neither you, nor this world will remain. What will remain is Ākhirah. We have to be prepared for it. We have to know that it is our true homeland. We have to prepare ourselves accordingly. And preparation is to carry out Allah’s orders.
Allah doesn’t give hardship to anyone. It is easy. Do it and go on. Whenever its time/ the hour comes, you will leave in safety and peace. May Allah give us safety of Iman and protect us from the evil of shaytan.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
85.MAKE THE PASSED ONES HAPPY Friday, 4 June 2021
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 who passed away to Ākhirah come on Friday nights and Mondays to visit their families spiritually. The biggest gift for them is to read the Qur’an, make Dhikr and to make charity in their names. As they are not in this world anymore, you cannot give them food or drinks. You cannot hand them money as a gift as well. You can do these things in their name. Make charity and do goodness to the needy and poor ones. It makes them happy. They wait for us to recite Ayat of the Qur’an and to make Dhikr and Salawat. It brings great joy to them. They come and watch their families spiritually. If they are fine, they are happy.
There is happiness for families who are as Allah loves and orders. Otherwise, there will be sadness. In order to make them happy, you should be on the right way. You should carry out Allah’s orders so that they benefit from it. This is regarding the souls of believers. Because when the souls are captured, believers are in paradise and Kafirs are in hell. They cannot come to their families. Only the believers come to their families and observe them spiritually. If they are fine, they are happy. If they are not fine, they are sad.
People get sad and frustrated when someone dies. Believers are not frustrated, as it is the order of Allah. No one can escape from it. If you want to do something, do goodness in their name. Your sadness will be gone, and their sadness will be gone too. They will be in peace.
When you make a prayer while passing by a cemetery, everyone in that cemetery becomes happy. It is because most people have no one to pray for them. Allah shows kindness to all of them. Most of the suffering people get benefit from these prayers and Allah lightens their suffering or lifts it completely.
This is what our Holy Prophet and all the Awliya after him say because they know in what situation people in the graves are. Sometimes they look spiritually and see the suffering of these people. They are having a tough punishment. They look once again and see that their suffering is over. Why? Because a pious person is nearby, or because people recited for them while passing by. Allah lifts the suffering of the grave with their Barakah. It is a big favor from Allah. Allah’s mercy is great. He causes means for people to earn His mercy. One Ayah, one Salawat or Dhikr brings great benefit to people.
May Allah accept all the recitations sent from all over the world. May Allah be pleased. It has become a tradition. People make Dua and Khatms of the Qur’an. We dedicate all the Khatms, all the recited Surahs and Ayats, Dhikr and Salawat, all the recitations firstly to our Holy Prophet and then to the souls of his family, his great Sahabah, all the prophets, saints and Mashkayikh. Whatever good wishes they have, may they come true. May it be means to happiness here and hereafter Insha Allah.
For the souls of our loved ones, especially Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Hala Sultan.
LiLlahi Ta’ala Al-Fatiha.
86.BEWARE OF STINGINESS Saturday, 5 June 2021
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. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Wa man yuqa shuh-ha nafsihi faula’ika humu l-muflihun.” (Qur’ān 59:09).
Allah says in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan: ‘And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.’
Those who are protected from the evil of their ego, are in profit. “Shuh” means the worst level of stinginess because the ego wants it. It comes from faithlessness. “Shuh” means stinginess and meanness, and they are bad things. The ego does not want to give Sadaqah, or help, or obey Allah.
Our Holy Prophet says in Hadith Sharif to beware of stinginess. It commands to be stingy. It commands to be stingy and it is the sickness that has destroyed the nations before you. It had ordered them to be stingy, so they became stingy. It had ordered them not to help, so they did not help. It had ordered not to visit relatives. All bad things come from too much stinginess. Every bad thing comes from this thing called “Shuh”.
It is the same in this world. People fight because of it, quarrel because of it, kill each other because of it and do not do goodness. It is one of the
biggest tools of shaytan and the favorite thing of the ego. Mankind, Muslims and non-Muslims, should leave it. But of course, non-Muslims say, “This is mine. I won’t give it. I won’t help anyone”. Even though they seem to help, there is this group of non-Muslims who mess with the whole world. They think that they are helping and by wishing to help people or a country, they destroy the whole country. They are destroying it directly or, even worse, discreetly by seeming to help and making judgments. Whereas they are drowning in their dirt and lying in a hollow. And then they are teaching others, pointing at their dirt. They think that they are helping and doing something good. When they do something good, a thousand bad things come out of it, may Allah protect us.
We should not be cheated by them. We should not believe them. The one who believes them is stupid. A person should think about what is behind it when someone from them helps him. Did he repent? Even if he did repent, one should still be cautious if something will come out of it. These people do not want any goodness to Muslims. Islam is their biggest enemy. They are the accomplices of shaytan. And shaytan will never befriend Islam and Muslims. May Allah protect us from their evil.
The end of times has come. Their traps will return to them. As our Holy Prophet said in his Hadith Sharif, too much greed and too much stinginess make people do all kinds of evil.
Mankind makes these mistakes because of his greed. Muslims should not make them. Our Holy Prophet tells to be careful and to leave this bad attribute. It has no benefit but only harm. May Allah protect us. It destroys you. It destroys you here and hereafter, which is worse. May Allah protect us from the evil of our ego and bad attributes. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
87.WE ARE TRAVELERS Sunday, 6 June 2021
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.
Insha Allah there is a journey today. Many months later, we will be visiting the Maqam of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. It has been a long break. Insha Allah there is only physical distance, but spiritually he is always with us. Our Holy Prophet is also with us every moment because when you make Salawat, he responds to your Salawat, our Holy Prophet says. The light and blessings of our Holy Prophet are upon us. There is not a second that the whole world is not making Salawat. When you make Salawat, our Holy Prophet responds right away. There is not a second that he is not present. They say, “What do you ask from the dead?” Those who say so, are dead themselves. Our Holy Prophet is alive. It is the truth. Allah told about his aliveness “And know that among you is the Messenger of Allah.” (Qur’ān 49:07). This good tidings is enough for people, but they do not understand.
We are travelers in this world, travelers on our journey to Ākhirah. That is the point of destination. And we travel sometimes within the world. We have to take lesson from it. When we leave, people get upset here and become happy there. It is the same in Ākhirah. If you are a good person, people are sad when you pass away. And they are happily waiting for you in the hereafter.
Also when you come from there to here, the people here are happy. This is the situation of the world. Eventually, the journey to Ākhirah is important. How lucky is whoever earns it. Thank Allah, He let us be on this way. It is a favor from Allah to people. Allah gave everyone something. Thank Allah, He put us on this true way. May we be firm on this way. May we not obey our ego. May we remain on this beautiful way until our last breath to Ākhirah.
This world is not important. Today was such and such. It has been the same since its creation, since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. Certainly, something will happen. This world is not paradise. Paradise is in Ākhirah. To have paradise in Ākhirah, you should make paradise in this world. Believers are not uncomfortable with anything. They say, “We are created as beautiful and we are on this beautiful way. Thank Allah, this is the greatest beauty.”
Whatever happens, true believers see any hardship of this world as beautiful. They say, “It came from Allah, so it is beautiful. Everything good and bad from You is beautiful”. And everything beautiful is paradise. No matter how much hardship there is, as we are on the true way, it is paradise.
We are living in the end of times. Every day is harder for the whole world. There is no exclusion. Every day is tougher. But for believers, for those who are firm in their faith, it is paradise Allah willing. People with Iman are in paradise here and hereafter Allah willing.
May Allah make us firm and give strength to our Iman so that our hearts are firm. Do not worry about what happens. Who is worried has weak Iman. May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
