Suhbah 2016: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (22/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5466
very time there is Awliyā’u Llāh around people. If these no, Allāh will not send any rain, not give anything for people to eat. Prophet (saw) he said bihim turzaqūn bihim tumṭarūn This is ḥadīth also. "By these people you are getting your what you eat, what Allāh give you. And by them Allāh send you rain." If they are not, Allāh not looking for you. Because He... This is walīu Llāh meaning what one He Allāh love him meaning. So Allāh love these people looking for this world. And for them, when He look for them, He not looking for other people what they are doing, what they are wrong doing, Only for these people. "I love
these people. I give this for all of them, in shā’a Llāh" Allāh, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, keep them by their a‘la Llāhu darajātuhum, in shā’a Llāh.

195.HAZRAT SHAH-E NAQSHBAND Saturday, October 15, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Mercy descends when the names of the pious1 are mentioned. Today is the birthday of Hazrat Shah-e Naqshband (QS). May his blessings be upon us Inshallah. Baraka descends on the world when they are born. Before they are born, the great awliya give news of their coming. Hazrat Sayyid Amir Kulal (QS) gave good tidings before the birth of Hazrat Shah-e Nqshband saying, “I see a beautiful light and sense a beautiful scent here.” Later, he congratulated him upon birth. The Naqshbandi Tariqa was named after him. His name was Muhammed Uwaysi-l Bukhari. Because he was taught by his shaykh and later by Hazrat Uways al-Qarani (RA) he is called Uwaysi. These holy ones are a favor of Allah (JJ) to these people since different manifestations2 occurred by means of him. By explaining this tariqa in a beautiful way, millions of people went on the beautiful way he has shown, on the way of the Naqshbandi Tariqa, all the way from those times till now.
The Naqshbandi Tariqa is the essence of Islam. It is the tariqa that completely does all the traditions3 of our Holy Prophet (SAW), actions and whatever he did. There are 41 tariqas. 40 tariqas come from Hazrat Ali (KW), and this tariqa comes from Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA). Of course in some places it intersects with Hazrat Ali (RA), but because the other tariqas do not emphasize the form more, they receive criticism sometimes. However, there is no way to criticise the Naqshbandi Tariqa like this, and it is not possible for anybody to say it is against divine law4. On the contrary, it is the sheer essence of sharia. Nobody can see our Holy Prophet’s (SAW) sharia differently.
Therefore, thank Allah we are going on the way of Hazrat Naqshbandi. May his baraka be upon us. Today is also a holy day. According to the Hijri year, the 14th of the month of Muharram is the birthday of Hazrat Shah-e Naqshband. May Allah bless it, and may its blessings be upon us Inshallah.

196.MOST PEOPLE ARE ON THE WRONG WAY Sunday, October 16, 2016

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani.

“Wa’in tuti’ akthara man fil ardi yudillooka ‘an sabilillahi, iyyattibi’oona illathanna wa’in hum illa yakhrusoon.” (Sura An’am:116) Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “If you obey most people in this world, they will mislead you from the right path.”
They have all followed their ego. They do whatever their ego and whatever Shaitan wants. This is the situation of the world. Therefore do not say, “People do it, so I can also do it, and nothing would happen.” Follow the words of those few people, very few people. “Do what they do and take them as an example,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Therefore, just because the majority does something does not mean what the majority does is right. What is right is the way commanded by Allah Azza wa Jalla. Most people follow their ego. People are are happy to follow the ego and they run on that way.
Speaking of the right way, people stop to think whether it is right or wrong then they suddenly find themselves opening their eyes in the hereafter. “We went on the wrong way. We followed the wrong people,” they say regretfully. And at that time regret is useless. We need to think about this while we are in the world. We need to account for how much right and how much wrong we did. Most of the world is on disbelief anyway. Those people are ruined anyway. Do not look at their money, property, and showing off. It is of no use for themselves.
They robbed the world and took it to their countries. Still because there is no blessing, they flutter for the world. The world: they think of nothing else. They search for new ways according to their own heads and they cannot find the right way. Actually they run away.
Allah Azza wa Jalla showed us the right way. As advice, “Just because most people do it, do not ever do it too. The road most of them are on is wrong. If you go on it you will also be ruined. Come to my way,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. May Allah give us all a mind and intelligence, and not mislead us from the right path Inshallah.

197.THE EGO DOES NOT GET ENOUGH Monday, October 17, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
“Wannafsu kattifli intuhmilhu shabba ‘ala hubbir reda’i”. “The ego is trained if you train it,” it says. “The ego is like a child, like a baby. The baby weans if you cut the baby from the mother’s milk. If not, if you say you want it to feed more and you will cut it later, it could suckle until age ten and maybe even more,” it says. This is written in Hazrat Imam Busairi’s Qasida Burda.
Meaning no matter how much you give the ego and whatever you do, the ego does not get enough. There is no such thing as “I gave it and it had enough”. No matter how free you leave your ego, it will not stop by itself. If you do not tell it to stop, if you do not control it, it would rule you all your life, it would do as it wills, and it would pass things it wants as if they were laws.
The world, the current situation, shows this. Things of 20-30 years ago are disapproved now. Or if you had said 20-30 years ago the world would be like this with so much dissension1, corruption2, and disgrace3, people would not believe you. However, gradually while in conformity with the ego and in conformity with Shaitan, people came till these times.
Ego training is required. This world will not get better without ego training. It will always get worse. After so much vileness, the ego will not be saved and the world will not be fixed with something normal. These are End Times and the one who will fix it is Mahdi Alayhis Salam. May Allah send him as soon as possible Inshallah. When Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrives only he can fix it. Because now, wherever you look, whoever you look at, we see that they have deviated.
Therefore, those who have respect for us, for our Holy Prophet (SAW), and for the saints4, should not look at others but look at themselves. Firstly they should fix their ego, then give advice to others. All of our egos are bad. Nobody should say, “My ego is good!” It is a big mistake. Everybody has an ego and it tries to pull people to wrong ways at every instant. May Allah keep us safe.
As we said, even if gradually, even if slowly, we need to be a little more careful everyday and we need to train our ego. May Allah make it easy Inshallah and keep us safe from its evils.

198.DREAMS SHOULD INCREASE FAITH Tuesday, 18 October 18, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is the Creator. The things He has created show His grandness and greatness. Our minds cannot fathom the wisdom behind the things He created.
As every person goes to bed at night, Allah (JJ) takes them to different worlds. Then when they wake up they find themselves in the same place again. People feel like they lived through it all. Allah makes us live through these and it is like living in this world. A person goes through not one world but a thousand worlds or a hundred thousand worlds. This world of dreams is a world shown by Allah. They show the grandness of Allah (JJ).
Of course various dreams occur for normal people, but it is inappropraite for people to act on them because, “I saw a dream and I will do it.” Those are dreams only seen by prophets, since some prophets did not receive revelation and what they were supposed to do was informed them through dreams.
People of today sometimes see a dream and saying, “I will do such and such,” they needlessly take a burden on themselves or do things that are harmful. Therefore, this is a religious principle and it is said “You cannot act based on dreams.” There are some people who interpret dreams and clarify them. They interpret favourably. Now they buy huge books and it only shows three or five things. Sometimes it shows good and sometimes it shows bad.
Becasue it is explained in a dream it could be more, but it does not always happen of course. This is why our Holy Prophet says, “Explain and tell people dreams by interpreting them favourably.” If someone comes to you with a dream, it is inappropraite to say, “Such will happen. You will go throguh this-and-that.”
It is also not good to tell dreams to everyone. There are some dreams it is better you do not tell anybody about them. It would have no effect Inshallah. Our Holy Prophet said . “Marhamatan Ummata.” Otherwise, if people are effected by every dream, they would not go to work and would be weary of life.
Therefore, dreams are actually to strengthen people’s faith and to believe in the unseen. Here, the unseen! You go, you see everything, and you come back. It is gone when you are awake. Here, this is the unseen. There are many wisdoms behind it but this is one wisdom: to strengthen our iman. It is not to be effected and be upset, but to be reliefed by it.
When people see a bad dream and wake up, they get up saying, “Ah, it was only a dream.” This is also a benefit, it is also a warning from Allah (JJ). You could have been that way too, but with Allah’s kindness and favor you wake up solid in the morning. They could be beating you in your dream and doing bad things. You wake up in the morning and nothing happened to you and say, “Ah, thank Allah it was a dream.”
Therefore, the world of dreams is a world too and they show Allah’s greatness. Subhanallah. Allahu Akbar.

199.MIRACULOUS DEEDS OF SAINTS Wednesday, November 9, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin. Mashallah, with Allah’s permission and Allah’s grace1 and favor2 we went and came back. It is quite far away. We overcame mountains, seas and forests in this trip with the help of Allah.
We visited those people. They are our brothers in religion and are considered our brothers in tariqa. We visted them and went to South America for the first time. Those there are Mashallah better than we thought, and there are more people and ikhwan3 than we thought. They were also pleased. This trip also went well and was comfortable. There was much inexperience but we saw Shaykh Mawlana’s miraculous deeds4 once again.
It was very comfortable. No matter how much inconvenience ocurred, it ended well. Bad things we saw and thought was bad turned out good thank Allah. It went very well. You see Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) karamat as there was no such things as Muslim there. It is such a place. Thousands of people came to be guided just with Shaykh Mawlana’s spiritual support5, and Inshallah many more will come. Allah willing Inshallah it will reach millions.
Muslims are being mistreated everywhere in the world and Islam is shown bad, but with Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) karamat it is the contrary there and there is no problem. They live in safety and perform their worships. Nobody is interfering, nobody interferes. We want to mention this too as this is the karamat of saints6. If people want to see karamat, let them look there.
There are men who talk nonsense and make jugdments from where they sit. They should repent and not talk against the awliya. We see they are telling, “This one said this and that one said that.” These are not important. What do they say? All talk, no action. Thank Allah through the himmat of Shayh Mawlana (QS) and the awliya we have dargahs everywhere in huge continents. We even have dargahs where people would never imagine, everywhere around the world.
While we were in Brazil yesterday our ikhwan were saying, “We have dargahs here and there.” Rio de Janeiro is the most horrible place in the world and we even have a dargah there. This happens with Shaykh Mawlana’s karamat. There can be no greater karamat.
Thank Allah we saw this too and got happy. Because Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) himmat became a means for so many people’s salvation. They are lucky people they reached salvation both in this world and in the hereafter with Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) karamat. They will rise to the highest stations Inshallah.
People who think they are scholars, who think they are something special, and talk against shaykhs will be regretful. May Allah give them mind and intelligence. May Allah not pervert us and may He not deviate us from the path of the awliya Inshallah.

200. DOMINION IS IN THE HANDS OF ALLAH Thursday, November 10, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minash-shaitanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
“Qulillahumma malikal mulki tu’til mulka man tasha’u watanzi’ul mulka mimman tasha’u, wati’uzzu man tasha’u watuthillu man tasha’u, biyadikal khayr, innaka ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer.” (Sura Aal Imran:26)
We recite this everyday. It means “Dominion1 is in the hands of Allah. Allah gives dominion to whomever He wants and takes it from whomever He wants.” Now the most important thing in the world for people is who the president of America will be. This is what is being spoken. People were surprised saying, “This man won, how can it be?” It can be, Allah gives whomever He wants. Dominion belongs to Allah. What Allah wants happens and nothing else happens. Some people think, “No, this man is an enemy, that man is good, and this man is bad.” Allah knows well what He will do. Allah knows His own wisdom. Therefore, there is no need to get sad or worried. What you think is good can turn out bad. And Allah can turn the bad into good. Everything is in the hands of Allah. However, our Shaykh Mawlana (QS) gives good tidings. Inshallah this is the same way, so there is no need for anxiety or sadness. Thank Allah he is not ruling us. Allah is with Islam and Allah helps.
Most people were happy for the previous president: His ancestors are Muslim, his father is Muslim, and what not. He was the human who harmed Muslims, people, and our region the most. Therefore, the good can turn bad and the bad can turn good. Here, the thing we repeat all the time: “Let us see what the Lord does, splendid is whatever He does.2” May it be for the best. Inshallah he is useful, because everything is in Allah’s hands and what Allah wills happens. Everything has a reason. It means Allah willed it so and this man came. May it be for the best Inshallah.

201. THERE IS FINESSE IN TARIQA Friday, November 11, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Tairqa is the way of manners1. What is meant by adab is doing beautiful things. A person in tariqa needs to do things better than a normal person. One needs to try to do everything good. One needs to be better in dressing and interacting with people. When one is to do something for people, one needs to take permission. Sometimes people think they are doing good according to their own head, but the other person might not want it. Therefore, it is from manners to ask for permission for something you want to do. It is not a smart thing to pour essence on top of the prayer rug. Here, this is an example. The man might have allergies and what not. You are thinking by yourself you are doing something great, but you are harming the other person. What we want to say is finesse is required. There is finesse in tariqa. We need to escape from stupidity. You have done something and you think it is good, but you have done wrong while trying to do good. We are giving this as an example and not just saying it for the essence issue. We have been hearing lately that some are making others do what they want by saying, “Shaykh Efendi said so.” This is a worse thing. They make everybody do what they want without Shaykh Efendi knowing about it by saying, “Shaykh Efendi wants it so. He said so.” It does not matter whether it is for good, for evil, or for themselves. This is inappropriate. There is adab in tariqa. We need to preserve manners. Otherwise you would not be able to gain any benefit. You need to think very kindly. We need to take Shaykh Mawlana (QS) as an example since he was such a fine person and never wanted to hurt people. You and all people who have been initiated into tariqa need to pay attention to this. We need to train our ego. Ego training cannot be with just worship. You cannot perform worship then be rude to people or disturb people. It says, “Ad-din al- muamala.” Religion is interaction, meaning getting along well with people. We need to get along well with people. May Allah grant us all this finesse and this beauty Inshallah.

202.THE PUNISHMENT FOR TEACHING SIN Saturday, November 12, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some servants of Allah (JJ) whom He loves and they are Allah’s awliya. Those who talk against them and who gossip about them would be standing up to Allah. Those who attempt to harm them would be standing up to Allah, and Allah would harm them and treat them the way they deserve to be treated. Because when one stands up to Allah, surely Allah has a punishment for them when the time comes.
When a person comes out saying something and talking badly, our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “If a person teaches the evil he does to others, however many people commit that sin, that many sins are written for the first one to do it, for the one who teaches it. However many good things are taught and done, that many good deeds are written and the person receives its rewards.”
Lately, such a faction has appeared. They neither recognise companions, nor do they recognise saints, nor do they recognise scholars. They attack everybody for two pennies worth of worldly benefits. They teach this to others and it has become like a fashion. However many people commit that sin, that will also be written for him and he will suffer its punishment.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says it in the Koran too: “I have awliya, I have those whom I love, respect them, and follow them.” Our ancestors, our grandfathers, have been respecting the elders and the awliya in the way of Islam for a thousand years. They won so many victories through their duas and done so much service.
Now, a couple of impertinent persons are coming and speaking badly about them and do not like what they have done. What are you doing? You are not doing anything but gossip. You are not doing anything but back-biting and slander. Others should be warned not to follow these people. We see that their numbers have increased too much. We refer them to Allah. But as their numbers increase, that sin is is also written for the one who showed the way.
We are referring them to Allah first because only Allah Azza wa Jalla can give them their punishment. However, they will surely be punished. If they do not repent they will be punished. It is a different matter if they repent.
“Atta’ibu minath-thanbi kaman laa thanba lah.” “The one who repents, turns away from sin, has no sin,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, this door is open. Most of the time, there are many people who have made such mistakes, they repent, and Allah forgives them. May Allah give them mind and intelligence. May He show them the right path so they do not misguide others and make them commit sin.

203.KNOWLEDGE IS PLENTY BUT USELESS Sunday, November 13, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla tells us to “learn knowledge”. The students of knowledge were in the highest position and were the most accepted people. However, now there are two types of scholars: one whom Allah loves and the other whom Allah dislikes.
Knowledge must be accompanied by action. Apart from action there must also be sincerity. There must be sincerity for it to be useful. Otherwise, we see so much of it in these times, people who make the world confused, who pretend to be scholars show religion the other way for their benefits. They might have memorised the Koran, but most are of the type that read but do not understand.
Allah Azza wa Jalla has likened them very well: “Kalhimari yahmilu asfara.” Knowledge is plenty but it is useless. Just like a donkey, saving your presence1, loaded with books and of no benefit to people or anybody. It is nothing but a load. They are like this. Who are they? Those people who have memorised the Koran and thousands of hadiths but have not understood anything.
These are people who do not respect Hazrat Prophet (SAW) because they have not understood the meaning. The path is the honored path shown by the Koran, by Allah (JJ), and the Prophet (SAW). If they have not understood such a thing, as we said, it is useless. It is nothing but a load for them.
We have them in this country of ours too. A few have come out. They are like cancer, wherever they touch they ruin, they destroy, and misguide people. Shaitan’s tricks are plenty. I see that these people are attacking Islam but Islam is growing. They look for ways to get people out of Islam. They give arrogance in the beginning then they get up and say, “Who is this Shaykh, who is this man?!” Then in the end, hasha, they say about our Holy Prophet (SAW), “He did his job and left.”
Here, knowledge is harmful more than it is useful for these type of people. Therefore, the real way is the way shown by the mashayikh2. Even if they do not learn knowledge in a dargah, for a hodja to follow a shaykh is absolutely necessary and much needed. If
not, that knowledge becomes useless, meaning it does not lead anywhere and becomes a void knowledge.
True knowledge is knowledge which connects to our Prophet (SAW). And this is reachabe through the way of the mashayikh and the way of tariqa. We see these things everyday. Everybody sees it. Not just here. This empty knowledge, unconnected knowledge, is what is ruining the whole world of Islam. May Allah grant us to learn true knowledge with adab3 Inshallah.

204. LISTEN TO THE GOOD WORD Monday, November 14, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
اللهم اجعلنا ممن يستمعون القول ويتبعون احسنه (SAW): Prophet Holy our of hadith The
What does it mean? “We ask Allah that we listen to the good word and follow the best of it.” What our Holy Prophet (SAW) says is important. Every word and every letter of his is important.
Now most people think of something by themselves, imagine things, or do things according to their own thinking and expect everybody to accept it. It will not happen. What should we do? We need to follow and accept whatever the words of Allah (JJ) and our holy Prophet (SAW) are, and whatever is the advice of the awliya and the saliheen1.
We should not object. Especially Allah’s commands are not to be objected. If you cannot do them you may say, “May Allah forgive me. I cannot do it.” However, do not get up and say according to your head, “It fits these times and it does not fit these times, it does not fit us!” This is Allah’s command! You should say, “We are weak servants. We can only do so much. May Allah forgive us.” So it is not a big deal if you are not following, but not following and on top of it being rebellious is not good for you. Allah does not need the likes of you. He does not need anybody. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not need the likes of you nor anybody else.
Allah Azza wa Jalla gives this to you as a gift so you may do it and win. It does not work according to your own head. There is something called a mind. Allah gave it to you so you may ponder and weigh it out. If you use it to disobey Allah’s command you would be misusing it. That time its harm would be on you. Therefore, may Allah make us amongst those who listen to the good word Inshallah.

“Fallahu khairun hafithan wahuwa arhamur rahimeen.” (Sura Yusuf:64) “Allah is the best guardian and He is the most merciful of the merciful.” Allah Azza wa Jalla sent us to this world. Unbelievers say it was a coincidence. If it were a coinceidence, nobody would even be able to live for a minute, and the universe would not exist. Allah foreordained everything, and has assigned a time for everything. Nothing happens before the time arrives.
Sometimes they scare people saying, “Something will hit Earth and Doomsday will erupt then.” Once Allah says, “Be,” it happens. The faith of those who believe otherwise is weak and they would be giving ear to Shaitan. Allah does what He wills. Everything happens when He wants. Nothing happens when He does not want it. If the whole universe unites they cannot do anything, because the things Allah says happens.
There is a Doomsday, a Judgment, and a hereafter. These ones think the more we live in this world the more there is to gain. They do not think about the hereafter and they want to decrease people’s faith. “This happened like this and that happened like that. This is good and this is bad,” they are saying things according to their own heads.
As we said, if Alalh wants just like He turned the fire Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) was in to a rose garden, He can make a person living the most luxurious life live a life of hell. Therefore, we trust in Allah.
وعل´ى ا َّّلل¸ ´ف ˚ل ´يت´ ´و َّك ¸ل ا ˚ل ˚م ˚ؤ ¸من˚و ´ن “Wa’alallahi falyatawakkalil mu’minoon,” He says. “Only upon Allah the blievers should rely.” (Aali Imran:122) Those who are mumin need to trust in Allah. We came to this world.
Whatever lifetime we have, Allah has assigned it and we will live that much. Fear does not benefit fate. Therefore, let us rely on Allah and perform our responsibilities. We would come out gainful, we would get the best of the hereafter Inshallah. Otherwise, saying, “It will come like this or it will come like that,” we would be wasting our time dealing with unnecessary things. May Allah not deviate us from the right path.
Al-Fatiha.
206.ALLAH FORGIVES ALL SINS Wednesday, November 16, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Authu Billahi Minash-shaitanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
´غف˚و ˚ر ال َّر ¸حي ˚م ه ´و ا ˚ل
¸إنَّه˚ َ
¸مي ًعا ج
َّن ا َّّلل´ ´ي ˚غ ¸ف ˚ر الذ ن˚وب
“Innallaha yaghfiru thunuba jamee’a, innahu huwal ghafurur rahim.” (Sura Zumar:53) “No doubt Allah forgives all sins. Because He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “I forgive all sins.” Whatever sins there are, Allah forgives them. The door of repentance is still open. Allah forgives all sins after repentance and asking for forgiveness. You should make intention “I will not do it anymore” with sincerity so that whatever sins there may be Allah (JJ) says, “I forgive them.”
He is Allah and nobody can interfere in His business. Some envious people say, “It is possible, it is not possible. You committed polytheism1 and what not. Your sins would not be forgiven.” Shirk means associating partners with Allah. They say, “You said such and became a mushrik!” Such a thing is not possible. As long as people do not get up and say they are worshipping other than Allah, a human, an idol, or whatever else, they are not polytheists.
Shirk is associating partners with Allah. “I forgive,” says Allah and you are not forgiving. You are talking some words and misguiding people. If you look at logic, in reality it is this person who is associating partners. So it is the person who is interfering in Allah’s business. Because they are saying, “No, I am not forgiving,” for what Allah says He forgives. Who do you think you are? Are you putting yourself in place of Allah? Astaghfirullah.
Here, in reality they are the ones unknowingly associating partners. Even once they repent, Allah forgives everything. There is danger for us if we shut the door of repentance. There is danger for everybody. Thank Allah, Allah’s mercy is unlike anybody’s. When people are to act with mercy, sometimes they act with mercy for a benefit. For it to be for the sake of Allah is also beneficial, meaning it is a benefit for the person, but even that does not exist next to Allah Azza wa Jalla.
“I am forgiving,” says Allah (JJ), “I accept the repentance of the one who repents.” This is a great blessing. Never say, “He would be forgiven and he would not be forgiven,” about anyone. Allah says, “I forgive.” Allah forgives everybody after sincere repentance and asking for forgiveness. May Allah forgive us all Inshallah.
Al-Fatiha.

207.THE WORLD IS THE PLACE OF TRIALS Thursday, November 17, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
This world is not paradise. If people want to find comfort and peace in the world, they need to not run after the world but be running after Allah. Because no matter how much money you have, no matter how much property you have, and no matter how much power you have, the world is a transient time and the place of trials.
Everyone gets tested. Whether in the lowest position or the highest position, things that upset people surely occur in this world. Of course people who only run after the world think “I will reach comfort once I solve this”. When that is solved, Allah surely brings out another problem and another headache causing issue appears.
This is as such, but it is a great distress for people who do not know it is coming from Allah. However, people who believe it comes from Allah are comfortable. They will say, “Thank goodness for this too,” and be grateful. If not this problem, surely another problem faces people, another distress occurs in the world.
Surely they will manage like this all life long. People who spend this short lifetime being content and following Allah’s commands will be comfortable in this world and will have won in the hereafter. Otherwise, they would suffer distress in this world and lose their hereafter.
People who do not abide by what Allah says, who do not accept, and who say there is nothing experience difficulty in both sides. Our advice to people is to be patient. People gain rewards with patience, and those who are not patient blaspheme. May Allah make us amongst those who are on His path Inshallah and not in need of anyone else. May Allah provide relief and may our faith strengthen Inshallah.

208.THE MONTH OF SAFAR AND THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARITY Friday, November 18, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
As you know, this month is the month of Safar. The month of Safar is unlike other months. It is heavier. We were not here at the beginning but still people know the month of Safar. The duties to be performed during Safar: three Pronounciations Of Faith and 300 Astaghfirullah. And make sure you do not forget about charity. “Sadaqa prevents trouble and extends life,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). Following this path shown by him through his will is beneficial for us. It is beneficial for yourselves because giving charity is hard on a person’s ego. Our Holy Prophet says, “Hawa’an muttaba’a, shuhhan muta’a.” What is meant by shuh is stinginess: those who give ear to stinginess, those who listen to it and do not leave its orders.
When there is stinginess it says, “Never give!” It says, “Let this remain yours. You gave too much. You gave one lira. It is too much!” Sometimes people do not even give that one lira. Whereas even for a useless thing, they give ten liras to burn into thin air. However, when it is alms for the poor, “Don’t you ever give,” it says. Actually, that is what is useful for themselves. They give to harmful and bad things without blinking an eye, they give for the sustenance of their children and are not concerned, but for good and charity, for things that are beneficial to themselves it says, “Don’t you ever give!” This matter of charity is important. People now do not even give their zakat. Do you think they will give sadaqa? But it is up to them. Sadaqa is important to avoid accidents and troubles as shown and described by our Holy Prophet (SAW). You might not give one lira and a damage worth 1000 lira or more might befall you. So it is said, “Little charity wards off much trouble.” Pay attention to charity especially during this month of Safar. We need to give continuously in other months too but the month of Safar is important. “Where am I to find the poor?” they say. Put it aside, put your sadaqa separately, and you can give when you find the poor. The poor are plenty, people who are in need are plenty. May Allah not make us follow our ego. May we not listen to this stinginess Inshallah. People have plenty of stinginess. It is a great disease. May Allah keep us safe.

209.PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE ALLIGATORS Friday, November 18, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our tariqa is based on discourse and the good is in association. Our gathering is a gathering for Allah, for the sake of Allah. These gatherings are few in number. People run after whatever useless thing there is, they get together and follow it, but people who gather for Allah are few. That is alright. This is the nature of humanity, of humans. َ˚
ش ˚كو ˚ر

وق´ ¸لي ˚ل
“Waqalilun min „ibadiash shakoor.” (Sura Saba:13) “Few of My servants are grateful.” Being with people Allah loves is also being grateful to Allah. Gatherings that Allah loves are also being grateful to Allah. If you are thankful to Allah, Allah would reward you ten times. This is a sincere gathering for the sake of Allah with Allah‟s permission.
We have no worldly benefit here. It is the wisdom of Allah that whoever comes here looking for a job, we could not find them a job for worldly benefit. But because they came to this door, Allah opens the door for them.
They do not embarrass us by coming and asking a second time, but Allah opens a door of sustenance for them and they find a livelihood and keep going. Everybody here also knows it is the wisdom of Allah that all those who come here end up coming for the sake of Allah.
If you speak of food, it is a mess-tin coming from our soup kitchen. May Allah be content with our cook Master Muhsin. He cooks well but people can find such food at home as well. So people do not come here for food, for money, or for a benefit. This is the place of purely sincere ones coming for the sake of Allah and Inshallah it will remain like this.
It is hard to find such people these days, because people have left no vileness undone or a way unused for a benefit. They even used Allah Azza wa Jalla for money. They say it is Allah‟s command and what the Prophet (SAW) told us and use it. We see it happening. Because it is End Times, people have become such that they are like alligators.
What does being like an alligator mean? People are thin skinned and we even feel the smallest thorn pricking. What we mean by a thorn is when such incidents occurred, people would be surprised and left under its influence for days. Now everybody is like an alligator, so many incidents occur that forget about a small thorn, if you were to hammer a nail people would not care.
These are such times. It is easy to conform to people in these times saying, “They are doing it. So should we.” It is easy but the end is bad. The beginning and the end are bad. You would not find good in the beginning either, but you would never find good in the end anyway. If speaking of tranquility, it would never happen. This way is both easy and hard. It is easy for the person who trusts in Allah, it is easy when you surrender.
May Allah make us meet good people Inshallah. When you are with good people, Shaitan and the ego whisper a hundred thousand whisperings. However, when you are Shaitan‟s man, when you are a person who does the opposite of what Allah tells us to do, both your ego and Shaitan help you. They say, “There you go, you found the holy man and the right way. This is the true man we have been looking for. He is showing us everything. This is the person who shows it as our ego wants, as we like. Follow this one!” As we said, when it is the true one, it whispers a hundred thousand whisperings and comes up with obstacles to mislead you from the right path.
Our path Inshallah is the path shown by Allah and the Prophet (SAW). It is the right path. This is the straight path our Holy Prophet (SAW) drew on the sand. This path goes till our Holy Prophet (SAW). And our Holy Prophet makes us reach Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Inshallah there are people coming from everywhere. They come from all over the world. A few or a lot, it does not matter. What is important is being with good people. Good people are the beloved of Allah, the awliya of Allah, and they are few. Numbers are not important, as it is better being with one person instead of being with many bad people.
May Allah grant us all to be with such good people Inshallah. You came from such distant places. May Allah be content with you. May Allah also grant you to collect good people and destine it for you too Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
210.THE REGRET OF ATHEISTS Saturday, November 19, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some ignorant people who say, “Paradise is and hell are here.” They speak words according to themselves. It is the word of ignorant people, but in one sense it is both here and in the hereafter.
Only those who believe in Allah live paradise here. They live the world as paradise because they are content with what Allah disposes and have bowed their heads. They do not object to what Allah gives. However, because the others object to everything, they are in continuous hell. In hell in the world, and in hell in the hereafter since they will get their comeuppance for their actions.
Faith is believing in the hereafter too. Iman is the most valuable thing for people. Shaitan tries to steel it. With words, they say with verbal one-upmanship, the ignorant people get used to one thing and they keep repeating it constantly. We were in Cyprus the first time we heard these words. It is the wisdom of Allah that one of the neighbors came. He was also a neighbor to the mosque and was cleaning it. “Don’t believe it,” he says, “Both paradise and hell are here.” We tried explaining it to the man but to no avail. It is the wisdom of Allah the man died before a year passed. He saw it too now. You live next to the mosque and still say this word... He surely got his comeuppance for that and is regretful.
Allah gave us the most valuable thing. He gave us iman. May Allah not take away our iman Inshallah. May our iman strengthen with every day Inshallah. We need to know its worth. All animals will rise on the Day of Judgment, whatever needs to happen will happen, and they will then be told, “Become soil!” These unbelieving, kafir ones will say, “I wish I were soil!” They will say, “I wish I were like an animal!” The animal is better than them that time. May Allah keep us safe Inshallah.

211.LIFE IS NOT LONG Sunday, November 20, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
“Kulli aatin qareeb,” it is said. Meaning the future is near. Humans think their life is long. The life of humans is short. When speaking of the future we mean death is near and the hereafter is near.
“Tool-e amal,” it is said, means avarice and this is not a good thing. People are very hopeful and think, “I will still live long. I still have a long life!” They say, “I will do these later. I will do good later,” and think there is a lot of time. “Kulli aatin qareeb”: the future is near. You can live until age 100 if you like. As long as it will come one day, that day is near. Therefore, do good and prepare for the hereafter for yourself while there is a chance so you will not say, “I wish I had done so!”
Every minute, in fact every second of our life is valuable. Do not let time pass without the zikr of Allah, without remembering Allah. Allah Azza wa Jalla did not create us for the world. The world is a place of trials. Some people say, “I still have a long life!” Even if you were to live a long life, your life is worthless if you do not remember Allah.
You should say, “Allahu haziri, Allahu naziri, Allahu shahidi,”1 at every moment. You should not forget about this even for a minute. A person needs to always be in a state of remembrance of Allah. What we mean by zikr is not necessarily saying the Statement Of Majesty2 but meaning “Allah is with me”. It is not forgetting Allah since this is what is needed for people.
When you remember Him, when you remember Allah, you cannot attempt to do anything bad, and you constantly think of doing good. And this is of great benefit and gain for the person. Let us always be in the zikr of Allah, Inshallah. Let us not forget Allah. Let us b

If they are not, Allāh not looking for you. Because He... This is walīu Llāh meaning what one He Allāh love him meaning. So Allāh love these people looking for this world.

195.HAZRAT SHAH-E NAQSHBAND Saturday, October 15, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Mercy descends when the names of the pious1 are mentioned. Today is the birthday of Hazrat Shah-e Naqshband (QS). May his blessings be upon us Inshallah. Baraka descends on the world when they are born. Before they are born, the great awliya give news of their coming. Hazrat Sayyid Amir Kulal (QS) gave good tidings before the birth of Hazrat Shah-e Nqshband saying, “I see a beautiful light and sense a beautiful scent here.” Later, he congratulated him upon birth. The Naqshbandi Tariqa was named after him. His name was Muhammed Uwaysi-l Bukhari. Because he was taught by his shaykh and later by Hazrat Uways al-Qarani (RA) he is called Uwaysi. These holy ones are a favor of Allah (JJ) to these people since different manifestations2 occurred by means of him. By explaining this tariqa in a beautiful way, millions of people went on the beautiful way he has shown, on the way of the Naqshbandi Tariqa, all the way from those times till now.
The Naqshbandi Tariqa is the essence of Islam. It is the tariqa that completely does all the traditions3 of our Holy Prophet (SAW), actions and whatever he did. There are 41 tariqas. 40 tariqas come from Hazrat Ali (KW), and this tariqa comes from Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA). Of course in some places it intersects with Hazrat Ali (RA), but because the other tariqas do not emphasize the form more, they receive criticism sometimes. However, there is no way to criticise the Naqshbandi Tariqa like this, and it is not possible for anybody to say it is against divine law4. On the contrary, it is the sheer essence of sharia. Nobody can see our Holy Prophet’s (SAW) sharia differently.
Therefore, thank Allah we are going on the way of Hazrat Naqshbandi. May his baraka be upon us. Today is also a holy day. According to the Hijri year, the 14th of the month of Muharram is the birthday of Hazrat Shah-e Naqshband. May Allah bless it, and may its blessings be upon us Inshallah.

“Wa’in tuti’ akthara man fil ardi yudillooka ‘an sabilillahi, iyyattibi’oona illathanna wa’in hum illa yakhrusoon.” (Sura An’am:116) Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “If you obey most people in this world, they will mislead you from the right path.”
They have all followed their ego. They do whatever their ego and whatever Shaitan wants. This is the situation of the world. Therefore do not say, “People do it, so I can also do it, and nothing would happen.” Follow the words of those few people, very few people. “Do what they do and take them as an example,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Therefore, just because the majority does something does not mean what the majority does is right. What is right is the way commanded by Allah Azza wa Jalla. Most people follow their ego. People are are happy to follow the ego and they run on that way.
Speaking of the right way, people stop to think whether it is right or wrong then they suddenly find themselves opening their eyes in the hereafter. “We went on the wrong way. We followed the wrong people,” they say regretfully. And at that time regret is useless. We need to think about this while we are in the world. We need to account for how much right and how much wrong we did. Most of the world is on disbelief anyway. Those people are ruined anyway. Do not look at their money, property, and showing off. It is of no use for themselves.
They robbed the world and took it to their countries. Still because there is no blessing, they flutter for the world. The world: they think of nothing else. They search for new ways according to their own heads and they cannot find the right way. Actually they run away.
Allah Azza wa Jalla showed us the right way. As advice, “Just because most people do it, do not ever do it too. The road most of them are on is wrong. If you go on it you will also be ruined. Come to my way,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. May Allah give us all a mind and intelligence, and not mislead us from the right path Inshallah.

197.THE EGO DOES NOT GET ENOUGH Monday, October 17, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani.

“Wannafsu kattifli intuhmilhu shabba ‘ala hubbir reda’i”. “The ego is trained if you train it,” it says. “The ego is like a child, like a baby. The baby weans if you cut the baby from the mother’s milk. If not, if you say you want it to feed more and you will cut it later, it could suckle until age ten and maybe even more,” it says. This is written in Hazrat Imam Busairi’s Qasida Burda.
Meaning no matter how much you give the ego and whatever you do, the ego does not get enough. There is no such thing as “I gave it and it had enough”. No matter how free you leave your ego, it will not stop by itself. If you do not tell it to stop, if you do not control it, it would rule you all your life, it would do as it wills, and it would pass things it wants as if they were laws.
The world, the current situation, shows this. Things of 20-30 years ago are disapproved now. Or if you had said 20-30 years ago the world would be like this with so much dissension1, corruption2, and disgrace3, people would not believe you. However, gradually while in conformity with the ego and in conformity with Shaitan, people came till these times.
Ego training is required. This world will not get better without ego training. It will always get worse. After so much vileness, the ego will not be saved and the world will not be fixed with something normal. These are End Times and the one who will fix it is Mahdi Alayhis Salam. May Allah send him as soon as possible Inshallah. When Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrives only he can fix it. Because now, wherever you look, whoever you look at, we see that they have deviated.
Therefore, those who have respect for us, for our Holy Prophet (SAW), and for the saints4, should not look at others but look at themselves. Firstly they should fix their ego, then give advice to others. All of our egos are bad. Nobody should say, “My ego is good!” It is a big mistake. Everybody has an ego and it tries to pull people to wrong ways at every instant. May Allah keep us safe.
As we said, even if gradually, even if slowly, we need to be a little more careful everyday and we need to train our ego. May Allah make it easy Inshallah and keep us safe from its evils.

198.DREAMS SHOULD INCREASE FAITH Tuesday, 18 October 18, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is the Creator. The things He has created show His grandness and greatness. Our minds cannot fathom the wisdom behind the things He created.
As every person goes to bed at night, Allah (JJ) takes them to different worlds. Then when they wake up they find themselves in the same place again. People feel like they lived through it all. Allah makes us live through these and it is like living in this world. A person goes through not one world but a thousand worlds or a hundred thousand worlds. This world of dreams is a world shown by Allah. They show the grandness of Allah (JJ).
Of course various dreams occur for normal people, but it is inappropraite for people to act on them because, “I saw a dream and I will do it.” Those are dreams only seen by prophets, since some prophets did not receive revelation and what they were supposed to do was informed them through dreams.
People of today sometimes see a dream and saying, “I will do such and such,” they needlessly take a burden on themselves or do things that are harmful. Therefore, this is a religious principle and it is said “You cannot act based on dreams.” There are some people who interpret dreams and clarify them. They interpret favourably. Now they buy huge books and it only shows three or five things. Sometimes it shows good and sometimes it shows bad.
Becasue it is explained in a dream it could be more, but it does not always happen of course. This is why our Holy Prophet says, “Explain and tell people dreams by interpreting them favourably.” If someone comes to you with a dream, it is inappropraite to say, “Such will happen. You will go throguh this-and-that.”
It is also not good to tell dreams to everyone. There are some dreams it is better you do not tell anybody about them. It would have no effect Inshallah. Our Holy Prophet said . “Marhamatan Ummata.” Otherwise, if people are effected by every dream, they would not go to work and would be weary of life.
Therefore, dreams are actually to strengthen people’s faith and to believe in the unseen. Here, the unseen! You go, you see everything, and you come back. It is gone when you are awake. Here, this is the unseen. There are many wisdoms behind it but this is one wisdom: to strengthen our iman. It is not to be effected and be upset, but to be reliefed by it.
When people see a bad dream and wake up, they get up saying, “Ah, it was only a dream.” This is also a benefit, it is also a warning from Allah (JJ). You could have been that way too, but with Allah’s kindness and favor you wake up solid in the morning. They could be beating you in your dream and doing bad things. You wake up in the morning and nothing happened to you and say, “Ah, thank Allah it was a dream.”
Therefore, the world of dreams is a world too and they show Allah’s greatness. Subhanallah. Allahu Akbar.

199.MIRACULOUS DEEDS OF SAINTS Wednesday, November 9, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin. Mashallah, with Allah’s permission and Allah’s grace1 and favor2 we went and came back. It is quite far away. We overcame mountains, seas and forests in this trip with the help of Allah.
We visited those people. They are our brothers in religion and are considered our brothers in tariqa. We visted them and went to South America for the first time. Those there are Mashallah better than we thought, and there are more people and ikhwan3 than we thought. They were also pleased. This trip also went well and was comfortable. There was much inexperience but we saw Shaykh Mawlana’s miraculous deeds4 once again.
It was very comfortable. No matter how much inconvenience ocurred, it ended well. Bad things we saw and thought was bad turned out good thank Allah. It went very well. You see Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) karamat as there was no such things as Muslim there. It is such a place. Thousands of people came to be guided just with Shaykh Mawlana’s spiritual support5, and Inshallah many more will come. Allah willing Inshallah it will reach millions.
Muslims are being mistreated everywhere in the world and Islam is shown bad, but with Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) karamat it is the contrary there and there is no problem. They live in safety and perform their worships. Nobody is interfering, nobody interferes. We want to mention this too as this is the karamat of saints6. If people want to see karamat, let them look there.
There are men who talk nonsense and make jugdments from where they sit. They should repent and not talk against the awliya. We see they are telling, “This one said this and that one said that.” These are not important. What do they say? All talk, no action. Thank Allah through the himmat of Shayh Mawlana (QS) and the awliya we have dargahs everywhere in huge continents. We even have dargahs where people would never imagine, everywhere around the world.
While we were in Brazil yesterday our ikhwan were saying, “We have dargahs here and there.” Rio de Janeiro is the most horrible place in the world and we even have a dargah there. This happens with Shaykh Mawlana’s karamat. There can be no greater karamat.
Thank Allah we saw this too and got happy. Because Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) himmat became a means for so many people’s salvation. They are lucky people they reached salvation both in this world and in the hereafter with Shaykh Mawlana’s (QS) karamat. They will rise to the highest stations Inshallah.
People who think they are scholars, who think they are something special, and talk against shaykhs will be regretful. May Allah give them mind and intelligence. May Allah not pervert us and may He not deviate us from the path of the awliya Inshallah.

200. DOMINION IS IN THE HANDS OF ALLAH Thursday, November 10, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minash-shaitanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
“Qulillahumma malikal mulki tu’til mulka man tasha’u watanzi’ul mulka mimman tasha’u, wati’uzzu man tasha’u watuthillu man tasha’u, biyadikal khayr, innaka ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer.” (Sura Aal Imran:26)
We recite this everyday. It means “Dominion1 is in the hands of Allah. Allah gives dominion to whomever He wants and takes it from whomever He wants.” Now the most important thing in the world for people is who the president of America will be. This is what is being spoken. People were surprised saying, “This man won, how can it be?” It can be, Allah gives whomever He wants. Dominion belongs to Allah. What Allah wants happens and nothing else happens. Some people think, “No, this man is an enemy, that man is good, and this man is bad.” Allah knows well what He will do. Allah knows His own wisdom. Therefore, there is no need to get sad or worried. What you think is good can turn out bad. And Allah can turn the bad into good. Everything is in the hands of Allah. However, our Shaykh Mawlana (QS) gives good tidings. Inshallah this is the same way, so there is no need for anxiety or sadness. Thank Allah he is not ruling us. Allah is with Islam and Allah helps.
Most people were happy for the previous president: His ancestors are Muslim, his father is Muslim, and what not. He was the human who harmed Muslims, people, and our region the most. Therefore, the good can turn bad and the bad can turn good. Here, the thing we repeat all the time: “Let us see what the Lord does, splendid is whatever He does.2” May it be for the best. Inshallah he is useful, because everything is in Allah’s hands and what Allah wills happens. Everything has a reason. It means Allah willed it so and this man came. May it be for the best Inshallah.

201. THERE IS FINESSE IN TARIQA Friday, November 11, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Tairqa is the way of manners1. What is meant by adab is doing beautiful things. A person in tariqa needs to do things better than a normal person. One needs to try to do everything good. One needs to be better in dressing and interacting with people. When one is to do something for people, one needs to take permission. Sometimes people think they are doing good according to their own head, but the other person might not want it. Therefore, it is from manners to ask for permission for something you want to do. It is not a smart thing to pour essence on top of the prayer rug. Here, this is an example. The man might have allergies and what not. You are thinking by yourself you are doing something great, but you are harming the other person. What we want to say is finesse is required. There is finesse in tariqa. We need to escape from stupidity. You have done something and you think it is good, but you have done wrong while trying to do good. We are giving this as an example and not just saying it for the essence issue. We have been hearing lately that some are making others do what they want by saying, “Shaykh Efendi said so.” This is a worse thing. They make everybody do what they want without Shaykh Efendi knowing about it by saying, “Shaykh Efendi wants it so. He said so.” It does not matter whether it is for good, for evil, or for themselves. This is inappropriate. There is adab in tariqa. We need to preserve manners. Otherwise you would not be able to gain any benefit. You need to think very kindly. We need to take Shaykh Mawlana (QS) as an example since he was such a fine person and never wanted to hurt people. You and all people who have been initiated into tariqa need to pay attention to this. We need to train our ego. Ego training cannot be with just worship. You cannot perform worship then be rude to people or disturb people. It says, “Ad-din al- muamala.” Religion is interaction, meaning getting along well with people. We need to get along well with people. May Allah grant us all this finesse and this beauty Inshallah.

202.THE PUNISHMENT FOR TEACHING SIN Saturday, November 12, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some servants of Allah (JJ) whom He loves and they are Allah’s awliya. Those who talk against them and who gossip about them would be standing up to Allah. Those who attempt to harm them would be standing up to Allah, and Allah would harm them and treat them the way they deserve to be treated. Because when one stands up to Allah, surely Allah has a punishment for them when the time comes.
When a person comes out saying something and talking badly, our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “If a person teaches the evil he does to others, however many people commit that sin, that many sins are written for the first one to do it, for the one who teaches it. However many good things are taught and done, that many good deeds are written and the person receives its rewards.”
Lately, such a faction has appeared. They neither recognise companions, nor do they recognise saints, nor do they recognise scholars. They attack everybody for two pennies worth of worldly benefits. They teach this to others and it has become like a fashion. However many people commit that sin, that will also be written for him and he will suffer its punishment.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says it in the Koran too: “I have awliya, I have those whom I love, respect them, and follow them.” Our ancestors, our grandfathers, have been respecting the elders and the awliya in the way of Islam for a thousand years. They won so many victories through their duas and done so much service.
Now, a couple of impertinent persons are coming and speaking badly about them and do not like what they have done. What are you doing? You are not doing anything but gossip. You are not doing anything but back-biting and slander. Others should be warned not to follow these people. We see that their numbers have increased too much. We refer them to Allah. But as their numbers increase, that sin is is also written for the one who showed the way.
We are referring them to Allah first because only Allah Azza wa Jalla can give them their punishment. However, they will surely be punished. If they do not repent they will be punished. It is a different matter if they repent.
“Atta’ibu minath-thanbi kaman laa thanba lah.” “The one who repents, turns away from sin, has no sin,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, this door is open. Most of the time, there are many people who have made such mistakes, they repent, and Allah forgives them. May Allah give them mind and intelligence. May He show them the right path so they do not misguide others and make them commit sin.

203.KNOWLEDGE IS PLENTY BUT USELESS Sunday, November 13, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla tells us to “learn knowledge”. The students of knowledge were in the highest position and were the most accepted people. However, now there are two types of scholars: one whom Allah loves and the other whom Allah dislikes.
Knowledge must be accompanied by action. Apart from action there must also be sincerity. There must be sincerity for it to be useful. Otherwise, we see so much of it in these times, people who make the world confused, who pretend to be scholars show religion the other way for their benefits. They might have memorised the Koran, but most are of the type that read but do not understand.
Allah Azza wa Jalla has likened them very well: “Kalhimari yahmilu asfara.” Knowledge is plenty but it is useless. Just like a donkey, saving your presence1, loaded with books and of no benefit to people or anybody. It is nothing but a load. They are like this. Who are they? Those people who have memorised the Koran and thousands of hadiths but have not understood anything.
These are people who do not respect Hazrat Prophet (SAW) because they have not understood the meaning. The path is the honored path shown by the Koran, by Allah (JJ), and the Prophet (SAW). If they have not understood such a thing, as we said, it is useless. It is nothing but a load for them.
We have them in this country of ours too. A few have come out. They are like cancer, wherever they touch they ruin, they destroy, and misguide people. Shaitan’s tricks are plenty. I see that these people are attacking Islam but Islam is growing. They look for ways to get people out of Islam. They give arrogance in the beginning then they get up and say, “Who is this Shaykh, who is this man?!” Then in the end, hasha, they say about our Holy Prophet (SAW), “He did his job and left.”
Here, knowledge is harmful more than it is useful for these type of people. Therefore, the real way is the way shown by the mashayikh2. Even if they do not learn knowledge in a dargah, for a hodja to follow a shaykh is absolutely necessary and much needed. If
not, that knowledge becomes useless, meaning it does not lead anywhere and becomes a void knowledge.
True knowledge is knowledge which connects to our Prophet (SAW). And this is reachabe through the way of the mashayikh and the way of tariqa. We see these things everyday. Everybody sees it. Not just here. This empty knowledge, unconnected knowledge, is what is ruining the whole world of Islam. May Allah grant us to learn true knowledge with adab3 Inshallah.

204. LISTEN TO THE GOOD WORD Monday, November 14, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
اللهم اجعلنا ممن يستمعون القول ويتبعون احسنه (SAW): Prophet Holy our of hadith The
What does it mean? “We ask Allah that we listen to the good word and follow the best of it.” What our Holy Prophet (SAW) says is important. Every word and every letter of his is important.
Now most people think of something by themselves, imagine things, or do things according to their own thinking and expect everybody to accept it. It will not happen. What should we do? We need to follow and accept whatever the words of Allah (JJ) and our holy Prophet (SAW) are, and whatever is the advice of the awliya and the saliheen1.
We should not object. Especially Allah’s commands are not to be objected. If you cannot do them you may say, “May Allah forgive me. I cannot do it.” However, do not get up and say according to your head, “It fits these times and it does not fit these times, it does not fit us!” This is Allah’s command! You should say, “We are weak servants. We can only do so much. May Allah forgive us.” So it is not a big deal if you are not following, but not following and on top of it being rebellious is not good for you. Allah does not need the likes of you. He does not need anybody. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not need the likes of you nor anybody else.
Allah Azza wa Jalla gives this to you as a gift so you may do it and win. It does not work according to your own head. There is something called a mind. Allah gave it to you so you may ponder and weigh it out. If you use it to disobey Allah’s command you would be misusing it. That time its harm would be on you. Therefore, may Allah make us amongst those who listen to the good word Inshallah.

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

“Fallahu khairun hafithan wahuwa arhamur rahimeen.” (Sura Yusuf:64) “Allah is the best guardian and He is the most merciful of the merciful.” Allah Azza wa Jalla sent us to this world. Unbelievers say it was a coincidence. If it were a coinceidence, nobody would even be able to live for a minute, and the universe would not exist. Allah foreordained everything, and has assigned a time for everything. Nothing happens before the time arrives.
Sometimes they scare people saying, “Something will hit Earth and Doomsday will erupt then.” Once Allah says, “Be,” it happens. The faith of those who believe otherwise is weak and they would be giving ear to Shaitan. Allah does what He wills. Everything happens when He wants. Nothing happens when He does not want it. If the whole universe unites they cannot do anything, because the things Allah says happens.
There is a Doomsday, a Judgment, and a hereafter. These ones think the more we live in this world the more there is to gain. They do not think about the hereafter and they want to decrease people’s faith. “This happened like this and that happened like that. This is good and this is bad,” they are saying things according to their own heads.
As we said, if Alalh wants just like He turned the fire Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) was in to a rose garden, He can make a person living the most luxurious life live a life of hell. Therefore, we trust in Allah.
وعل´ى ا َّّلل¸ ´ف ˚ل ´يت´ ´و َّك ¸ل ا ˚ل ˚م ˚ؤ ¸من˚و ´ن “Wa’alallahi falyatawakkalil mu’minoon,” He says. “Only upon Allah the blievers should rely.” (Aali Imran:122) Those who are mumin need to trust in Allah. We came to this world.
Whatever lifetime we have, Allah has assigned it and we will live that much. Fear does not benefit fate. Therefore, let us rely on Allah and perform our responsibilities. We would come out gainful, we would get the best of the hereafter Inshallah. Otherwise, saying, “It will come like this or it will come like that,” we would be wasting our time dealing with unnecessary things. May Allah not deviate us from the right path.

206.ALLAH FORGIVES ALL SINS Wednesday, November 16, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani.

“Innallaha yaghfiru thunuba jamee’a, innahu huwal ghafurur rahim.” (Sura Zumar:53) “No doubt Allah forgives all sins. Because He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “I forgive all sins.” Whatever sins there are, Allah forgives them. The door of repentance is still open. Allah forgives all sins after repentance and asking for forgiveness. You should make intention “I will not do it anymore” with sincerity so that whatever sins there may be Allah (JJ) says, “I forgive them.”
He is Allah and nobody can interfere in His business. Some envious people say, “It is possible, it is not possible. You committed polytheism1 and what not. Your sins would not be forgiven.” Shirk means associating partners with Allah. They say, “You said such and became a mushrik!” Such a thing is not possible. As long as people do not get up and say they are worshipping other than Allah, a human, an idol, or whatever else, they are not polytheists.
Shirk is associating partners with Allah. “I forgive,” says Allah and you are not forgiving. You are talking some words and misguiding people. If you look at logic, in reality it is this person who is associating partners. So it is the person who is interfering in Allah’s business. Because they are saying, “No, I am not forgiving,” for what Allah says He forgives. Who do you think you are? Are you putting yourself in place of Allah? Astaghfirullah.
Here, in reality they are the ones unknowingly associating partners. Even once they repent, Allah forgives everything. There is danger for us if we shut the door of repentance. There is danger for everybody. Thank Allah, Allah’s mercy is unlike anybody’s. When people are to act with mercy, sometimes they act with mercy for a benefit. For it to be for the sake of Allah is also beneficial, meaning it is a benefit for the person, but even that does not exist next to Allah Azza wa Jalla.
“I am forgiving,” says Allah (JJ), “I accept the repentance of the one who repents.” This is a great blessing. Never say, “He would be forgiven and he would not be forgiven,” about anyone. Allah says, “I forgive.” Allah forgives everybody after sincere repentance and asking for forgiveness. May Allah forgive us all Inshallah.

207.THE WORLD IS THE PLACE OF TRIALS Thursday, November 17, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
This world is not paradise. If people want to find comfort and peace in the world, they need to not run after the world but be running after Allah. Because no matter how much money you have, no matter how much property you have, and no matter how much power you have, the world is a transient time and the place of trials.
Everyone gets tested. Whether in the lowest position or the highest position, things that upset people surely occur in this world. Of course people who only run after the world think “I will reach comfort once I solve this”. When that is solved, Allah surely brings out another problem and another headache causing issue appears.
This is as such, but it is a great distress for people who do not know it is coming from Allah. However, people who believe it comes from Allah are comfortable. They will say, “Thank goodness for this too,” and be grateful. If not this problem, surely another problem faces people, another distress occurs in the world.
Surely they will manage like this all life long. People who spend this short lifetime being content and following Allah’s commands will be comfortable in this world and will have won in the hereafter. Otherwise, they would suffer distress in this world and lose their hereafter.
People who do not abide by what Allah says, who do not accept, and who say there is nothing experience difficulty in both sides. Our advice to people is to be patient. People gain rewards with patience, and those who are not patient blaspheme. May Allah make us amongst those who are on His path Inshallah and not in need of anyone else. May Allah provide relief and may our faith strengthen Inshallah.

208.THE MONTH OF SAFAR AND THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARITY Friday, November 18, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
As you know, this month is the month of Safar. The month of Safar is unlike other months. It is heavier. We were not here at the beginning but still people know the month of Safar. The duties to be performed during Safar: three Pronounciations Of Faith and 300 Astaghfirullah. And make sure you do not forget about charity. “Sadaqa prevents trouble and extends life,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). Following this path shown by him through his will is beneficial for us. It is beneficial for yourselves because giving charity is hard on a person’s ego. Our Holy Prophet says, “Hawa’an muttaba’a, shuhhan muta’a.” What is meant by shuh is stinginess: those who give ear to stinginess, those who listen to it and do not leave its orders.
When there is stinginess it says, “Never give!” It says, “Let this remain yours. You gave too much. You gave one lira. It is too much!” Sometimes people do not even give that one lira. Whereas even for a useless thing, they give ten liras to burn into thin air. However, when it is alms for the poor, “Don’t you ever give,” it says. Actually, that is what is useful for themselves. They give to harmful and bad things without blinking an eye, they give for the sustenance of their children and are not concerned, but for good and charity, for things that are beneficial to themselves it says, “Don’t you ever give!” This matter of charity is important. People now do not even give their zakat. Do you think they will give sadaqa? But it is up to them. Sadaqa is important to avoid accidents and troubles as shown and described by our Holy Prophet (SAW). You might not give one lira and a damage worth 1000 lira or more might befall you. So it is said, “Little charity wards off much trouble.” Pay attention to charity especially during this month of Safar. We need to give continuously in other months too but the month of Safar is important. “Where am I to find the poor?” they say. Put it aside, put your sadaqa separately, and you can give when you find the poor. The poor are plenty, people who are in need are plenty. May Allah not make us follow our ego. May we not listen to this stinginess Inshallah. People have plenty of stinginess. It is a great disease. May Allah keep us safe.

209.PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE ALLIGATORS Friday, November 18, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our tariqa is based on discourse and the good is in association. Our gathering is a gathering for Allah, for the sake of Allah. These gatherings are few in number. People run after whatever useless thing there is, they get together and follow it, but people who gather for Allah are few. That is alright. This is the nature of humanity, of humans. َ˚

“Waqalilun min „ibadiash shakoor.” (Sura Saba:13) “Few of My servants are grateful.” Being with people Allah loves is also being grateful to Allah. Gatherings that Allah loves are also being grateful to Allah. If you are thankful to Allah, Allah would reward you ten times. This is a sincere gathering for the sake of Allah with Allah‟s permission.
We have no worldly benefit here. It is the wisdom of Allah that whoever comes here looking for a job, we could not find them a job for worldly benefit. But because they came to this door, Allah opens the door for them.
They do not embarrass us by coming and asking a second time, but Allah opens a door of sustenance for them and they find a livelihood and keep going. Everybody here also knows it is the wisdom of Allah that all those who come here end up coming for the sake of Allah.
If you speak of food, it is a mess-tin coming from our soup kitchen. May Allah be content with our cook Master Muhsin. He cooks well but people can find such food at home as well. So people do not come here for food, for money, or for a benefit. This is the place of purely sincere ones coming for the sake of Allah and Inshallah it will remain like this.
It is hard to find such people these days, because people have left no vileness undone or a way unused for a benefit. They even used Allah Azza wa Jalla for money. They say it is Allah‟s command and what the Prophet (SAW) told us and use it. We see it happening. Because it is End Times, people have become such that they are like alligators.
What does being like an alligator mean? People are thin skinned and we even feel the smallest thorn pricking. What we mean by a thorn is when such incidents occurred, people would be surprised and left under its influence for days. Now everybody is like an alligator, so many incidents occur that forget about a small thorn, if you were to hammer a nail people would not care.
These are such times. It is easy to conform to people in these times saying, “They are doing it. So should we.” It is easy but the end is bad. The beginning and the end are bad. You would not find good in the beginning either, but you would never find good in the end anyway. If speaking of tranquility, it would never happen. This way is both easy and hard. It is easy for the person who trusts in Allah, it is easy when you surrender.
May Allah make us meet good people Inshallah. When you are with good people, Shaitan and the ego whisper a hundred thousand whisperings. However, when you are Shaitan‟s man, when you are a person who does the opposite of what Allah tells us to do, both your ego and Shaitan help you. They say, “There you go, you found the holy man and the right way. This is the true man we have been looking for. He is showing us everything. This is the person who shows it as our ego wants, as we like. Follow this one!” As we said, when it is the true one, it whispers a hundred thousand whisperings and comes up with obstacles to mislead you from the right path.
Our path Inshallah is the path shown by Allah and the Prophet (SAW). It is the right path. This is the straight path our Holy Prophet (SAW) drew on the sand. This path goes till our Holy Prophet (SAW). And our Holy Prophet makes us reach Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Inshallah there are people coming from everywhere. They come from all over the world. A few or a lot, it does not matter. What is important is being with good people. Good people are the beloved of Allah, the awliya of Allah, and they are few. Numbers are not important, as it is better being with one person instead of being with many bad people.
May Allah grant us all to be with such good people Inshallah. You came from such distant places. May Allah be content with you. May Allah also grant you to collect good people and destine it for you too Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
210.THE REGRET OF ATHEISTS Saturday, November 19, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some ignorant people who say, “Paradise is and hell are here.” They speak words according to themselves. It is the word of ignorant people, but in one sense it is both here and in the hereafter.
Only those who believe in Allah live paradise here. They live the world as paradise because they are content with what Allah disposes and have bowed their heads. They do not object to what Allah gives. However, because the others object to everything, they are in continuous hell. In hell in the world, and in hell in the hereafter since they will get their comeuppance for their actions.
Faith is believing in the hereafter too. Iman is the most valuable thing for people. Shaitan tries to steel it. With words, they say with verbal one-upmanship, the ignorant people get used to one thing and they keep repeating it constantly. We were in Cyprus the first time we heard these words. It is the wisdom of Allah that one of the neighbors came. He was also a neighbor to the mosque and was cleaning it. “Don’t believe it,” he says, “Both paradise and hell are here.” We tried explaining it to the man but to no avail. It is the wisdom of Allah the man died before a year passed. He saw it too now. You live next to the mosque and still say this word... He surely got his comeuppance for that and is regretful.
Allah gave us the most valuable thing. He gave us iman. May Allah not take away our iman Inshallah. May our iman strengthen with every day Inshallah. We need to know its worth. All animals will rise on the Day of Judgment, whatever needs to happen will happen, and they will then be told, “Become soil!” These unbelieving, kafir ones will say, “I wish I were soil!” They will say, “I wish I were like an animal!” The animal is better than them that time. May Allah keep us safe Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
211.LIFE IS NOT LONG Sunday, November 20, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani.

“Kulli aatin qareeb,” it is said. Meaning the future is near. Humans think their life is long. The life of humans is short. When speaking of the future we mean death is near and the hereafter is near.
“Tool-e amal,” it is said, means avarice and this is not a good thing. People are very hopeful and think, “I will still live long. I still have a long life!” They say, “I will do these later. I will do good later,” and think there is a lot of time. “Kulli aatin qareeb”: the future is near. You can live until age 100 if you like. As long as it will come one day, that day is near. Therefore, do good and prepare for the hereafter for yourself while there is a chance so you will not say, “I wish I had done so!”
Every minute, in fact every second of our life is valuable. Do not let time pass without the zikr of Allah, without remembering Allah. Allah Azza wa Jalla did not create us for the world. The world is a place of trials. Some people say, “I still have a long life!” Even if you were to live a long life, your life is worthless if you do not remember Allah.
You should say, “Allahu haziri, Allahu naziri, Allahu shahidi,”1 at every moment. You should not forget about this even for a minute. A person needs to always be in a state of remembrance of Allah. What we mean by zikr is not necessarily saying the Statement Of Majesty2 but meaning “Allah is with me”. It is not forgetting Allah since this is what is needed for people.
When you remember Him, when you remember Allah, you cannot attempt to do anything bad, and you constantly think of doing good. And this is of great benefit and gain for the person. Let us always be in the zikr of Allah, Inshallah. Let us not forget Allah. Let us b
