Suhbah 2018: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (8/25)

nice clothes. We like them to be clean too. We love good things". Our Prophet replied "Allāh is Beautiful. He likes beauty. Things are not from arrogance. They are the favours of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created everything beautiful. But people made it ugly with their bad character. He likes everything beautiful. He doesn't like those ugly things. He Allāh created this world in the best shape. Mankind made it ugly with their sins and bad manners. They spread ugliness everywhere whereas Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created it beautiful. People in old times used to pay attention to this. Therefore, everything they did had some fineness and beauty. Though there was not such abundance as there is now, people built their small houses nicely. Now they build ugly homes from concrete. When they live in them, their ugliness reflects itself. And the ugliest thing is arrogance. Wearing nice clothes is not arrogance but feeling proud of wearing them is ugly. Otherwise, Allāh made everything ḥalāl for us. Live nicely, be with the good ones and Allāh will love you.
As we said, beauty is to obey Allāh's orders and to take care of the things Allāh created. You should value everything. As Allāh created these beautiful things, you should say, "If Allāh loves beauty, we shall love it too." May Allāh give all of us good manners, good attributes and adab, In Sha Allah. May He keep us away from such ugly attributes, In Sha Allah.
Prophet saying his ḥadīth, his talking - we say ḥadīth - all nice all full of wisdom. We are learning every good thing from Prophet. Because Qur’ān also big miracle. After Qur’ān, to translate to Qur’ān for ummah, there is ḥadīth - also to saying what to do, what not to do. And one of this ḥadīth it is very nice. He was saying "Allāh He don't like to pride. Proude pride? Pride. And ṣaḥābah who Prophet saying, "who has pride in his heart he will suffer. Before going to clean his heart, he must be in hell. Cannot go first to Jannah." And ṣaḥābah was afraid and asking "O Prophet we are like to dress nice dress, to eat
good Prophet saying his ḥadīth, his talking - we say ḥadīth - all nice all full of wisdom. We are learning every good thing from Prophet. How we can finish [end up]?" Prophet saying, "No this is not pride. Allāh Beautiful and He like beautiful - inna Llāha jamīl yuḥibbu l-jamāl.
He likes beauty. Because everything He create - beautiful, nice, good but human being with their bad deeds and their bad attributes and what worst thing they do they make whole this world ugly. And most ugly thing - pride. Pride it is the most ugly thing but also what they are doing from sin they are affecting nice thing become ugly. Because what Allāh create it was enough for whole creature but shayṭān make this people to be destroying all beauty. Old time people they was looking after this. Even their life was more humble but they have nice house. Inside house, around house also they was looking for nice thing. Not like now, now people they are only found with ugly thing. Like the most ugly thing concrete. And it is, subḥāna Llāh, in last century they discover this bad material and whole it is the essence of uglier thing. Especially in when Communist place when after Communist we was way going with Mawlānā to this country and real it is very tough, very ugly, very disturbing when you see it.
And now Muslim everywhere you see even the most holiest place. You cannot see anymore Ka‘bah only you see concrete whole around. And after this you see this people going for making ‘ibādah worshipping and to get reward and they are from this, you see them put the bread, food, walking on them, throwing them making not respecting ni‘mah. All this from ugly thing. Ugly thing bring, make you to make ugly thing also, ugly doing. So Allāh He like beauty. We must like beauty and to be careful and to look it is not sin. Maybe many people, Muslim people as ṣaḥābah was asking, they thought to be have ugly thing it is good for Muslim. No not good. You must have good thing, you must do nice thing. You must teach your family, your where you are living to be have good. Essence to know ugly and to know good. And when you know this you will be know you are in way of Prophet.
So Prophet he coming to teach us nice good thing, In Sha Allah. Allāh جل ه الل ج help us and to know this and to be love this, In Sha Allah.

62.HAPPINESS ONLY WITH BELIEF Saturday, 7 of April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Mankind is in a search of something. Since birth until death, they are trying to get some happiness and peace. They are doing various things thinking, "Will our condition be better if we do this? Will we become happier?" And families put them in schools at first. Despite their ability to learn, they force them to study. Then comes work. After that, they get married looking for ways to get busy. They still search for happiness.
This world is a place of tests. You cannot be happy continuously. Some people, by the wisdom of Allāh, are troubled ones, their whole lives pass in tests. Some bear and some cannot bear such a life. Not all people are like that. But there is some that Allāh willed to be so. People come across problems one after another. Another trouble comes as soon as one is over. Some are patient but most are not patient and it is worse for them. If they realize it comes from Allāh, it becomes easier for them. They know it isn't for nothing. But a person without belief doesn't know what to do. Some are not patient. Some even commit suicide because of such matters.
And peace and happiness – with belief make everything fine for a man. Whatever comes from Allāh, be it a favour or a trouble, who says it comes from Mawlá and is patient, doesn't lose peace. Because he knows where he comes from and where he will go. He knows why things happened, why Allāh created us and why he is in such situation. People without belief are objecting. Who has no belief doesn't know where they come from and where they will go. Their condition is difficult, their situation is bad. Therefore, we have the biggest weapon, the biggest favour – the favour of īmān. Our weapon is belief. We face all difficulties with it. When we have it, we are at peace.
Our belief should grow. Remember Allāh every moment. Make dhikr of Allāh. To make dhikr is to remember Allāh, not only with tasbīḥ but also with heart. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla should be in your heart. He is seeing us. What comes to us is from Him. When we believe that everything is from Allāh, we are fine. If they say, "Did I do something so that this happened to me?" That is possible too. Sometimes when people do wrong, Allāh sends more troubles to them. And some are sent as a test, as we said.
May Allāh protect all of us. May He not give us a test we can't pass. Because you can be treated with kindness or you can be treated with testing. We are not people of test. We should always pray that He treats us with kindness and mercy. We shouldn't ask for burdens we cannot carry.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is our Creator and human beings, all human beings, they are wondering for what happen, what some and looking after happiness – where they can find happiness. Whole life they running after this thing happiness. From beginning when small boy their family they try to teach them. Some of them teaching them only to look for succeed to study. After study to have job. After job they can married, they can have family. This whole human being. But some of them.
Most of them they are forgetting the most important thing – to give them belief, to be believer. Because they are looking for happiness and happiness only with belief can be. Because our life nobody they have happiness for whole life. Sometimes happening something for everybody in this world. The most richest one and the most poorest one also they have some test for them, something. Cannot be whole life happy. Must be sadness, something wrong, something bad can be happen for all human being. In this world it is temporary, temporary world. Next world it will forever but this like only to little while. So don't look for happiness for whole life but you, if you are not believer never will be happy here.
But if you are believer everything coming you know from your Lord, your Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And many awliyā’u Llāh saint they was saying what you come from our Lord even bad – they not say bad thing – but what not good thing, trouble or any misery come they are happy. "This is coming from our Lord." Happiness coming also they are happy – this coming from, we are accept this and we must we are happy because we know from where coming. We are knowing where we will go, In Sha Allah.
But who are not believer it is problem for them because all time they are not happy, objecting for everything and not satisfy with anything. Because they don't know, they thought they can do what they in this world what they want. No. Something you cannot do. Something you can do. Some things, many things you cannot do. For this you are, they are miserable and unhappy. Happiness as we said with belief and accept. When you becoming more believe, you more happy. Because you are with your Lord. Every time who was with his Lord he must be happy. With Sulṭān he must be happy. When he say make praying the most nearest time for servant to be with his Lord in praying, especially in sajdah the most near. So it is happiness in this world.
Many of them they are not looking for even paradise. Saints saying, "We are here also in paradise with our Lord and what He when He will put next life also paradise it will be ok. But here also we are happy with our Lord. We are happy to be His servant, to be He
create us and put us in this shape." What He say in Qur’ān: "Wa laqad karramnā banī Ādam" (17:70). He said, "We are make human being most highest position, most honorable creature." This is the biggest happiness for them.
This is what prophets and saint and all this holy people trying to teach people and people they are not caring. Only they are looking for studying, for work, for or and everything. And they are looking for happiness with dirty thing, with bad thing. And this people they are giving them happiness, with very clean, very nice shape but this people running after their ego and they are be miserable here and hereafter also. Allāh save us from our ego and to be.
Allāh give us strong belief and we are asking not to make to test us. To not give what we cannot – burden. It is asking from Him mercy. Not asking something we cannot do, In Sha Allah.

63.MADHHAB AND MUFTI Tuesday, 10 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The religion of Islām shows us the good way. Its ways and teachings we learn from hojjas and parents. Shukr to Allāh, most of the Muslims know how to pray and fast. Some are more advanced in their knowledge. They see themselves as superior. Moreover, they say there is no need to follow a madhhab. We have our imāms of madhāhib. They are the people who met those who were close to our Prophet, ṣaḥābah and those who came after them. The best and and most correct knowledge is with them. But people nowadays are not accepting it. They say, "They are just like us. We can also give fatwá according to our minds without following any madhhab. We can do whatever the religion is allowing us to do." And then some get really absurd by saying there is no ablution, no praying. They are reaching to that extent.
We have to be careful regarding this matter. Giving fatwá is the most serious matter. Don't approach it as you like. Fatwá is not even for hojjas. And not every hojja can make it. They can say only some things they know. They can teach how to pray and all. But sometimes there are fatwás, when you ask how to carry it out, the pious imāms will say, "You have to ask a muftī. I can't give this fatwá. I am hojja. My duty is limited to this. The duty of fatwá is for muftīs." It was like this during the time of the Ottomans. It is so now too but most people don't know it and they give fatwá according to their minds making judgments. They are saying things outside the madhāhib. They are people not on the right way. They have became many.
Shayṭān is trying every possible way. If he puts the enemies of Islām clearly, people will stay away from them. So he is finding the weak ones among Muslims who follow their egos. And he is making them speak by cheating them with money, fame or other things. And people with weak faith follow them without realizing. And these things, as we said, won't bring any benefit for them. They'll be shamed here before going to ākhirah and in ākhirah, they'll be certainly punished for misleading so many people from the right way. May Allāh protect us.
The important thing here is to say "I don't know" for what we don't know. No need to give fatwá. If there is something you know, you read in ḥadīth or heard from the
scholars, you can say you heard that. No need to teach things. Don't take the burden on your shoulders. May Allāh protect us. It is the end of times. Everyone is following their ego, making judgments and fatwá as they like.
Our religion Islām it is perfect and everything shown and Prophet show us everything. What Allāh taught him he teach us. And there was many whole ṣaḥābah they can give advice or when you ask them something all of them they can show you way, right way. And so in that time no need for madhhab because each one like imām of madhhab. But later they are pass away many of them and becoming less and less. This madhhab until imām of four madhhab there was teaching people but also even in that time there was many madhhab until the all of them they don't have any follower – coming four madhhab and this four madhhab it is right and ḥaqq madhhab. We follow them. We are obligatory to follow.
But this days people they are, normal Muslim people, they are knowing and following from mother, father, or in school they teach them what to do and they are following this. But this days, nowadays, there is fashion especially for people who are studying in religious school or university, religion. Many of them, very many of them, they are saying, "This imāms they not right. We can also, we have mind, we have thinking. We can read and saying what we must do, what we not do." And most of them they giving teaching against Prophet teaching. They saying no need for wuḍū’, no need for praying also. Even until that limit they are coming. Some of them less than this. Some of them said, "Don't pray sunnah. Don't wear ḥijāb. Don't do this..." Each order of sharī‘ah they are saying don't do this, this is not real.
And this people normally you think they are study in religious but their ego and their weak character make them fall in trap of shayṭān. They are giving them money. They are giving them fame or something like this. They are happy with this thing and forgetting to fear from Allāh. Only they are thinking they are living here. Their fear is zero. They don't have any belief. They even non-believer they are [more] believer than this people. And unfortunately there is many of them in every country – in Turkey, in Egypt – this is the biggest country for Muslim – Pakistan, Iran, Saudi. All this the biggest country – they are most of them in this country. But what we will do? We will, we must be careful from them, not believe them, not accept what they are saying.
Because in Islām there is – if you want to ask something you can ask for scholar. What he know he can tell you. But there is another thing – giving fatwá. What not everybody know this, there is special people, specialist we call them muftī, to give fatwá. Fatwá meaning special thing they only this people they can give this and they are responsible what for what they are saying. So for this, even for ourself we saying, if you know something – somebody ask we can tell them – if we know really. But sometimes there is problem question. This problem question they must ask for muftī, to not be responsible
– to responsibility for muftī. And they are special people and they have ijāzah. If they are can give right fatwá, Allāh reward them maybe twice. But even not knowing and they giving wrong, Allāh also reward once because they are have good intention and they are real want to help. This is for muftī. But if you are, you are not muftī and some people coming for you and asking and even you giving right answer, it's also you are not acceptable.
So we must be careful, must be very sensitive for this matter. Especially in this days because this days everybody giving their idea and people saying, "This ‘ālim he said like this. We following him." But maybe he is he not have ijāzah to give fatwá or to say for people for this. So Allāh keep us safe from this people, this who are following ego and following shayṭān. There are many of them. Allāh give them hidāyah also, In Sha Allah.

64.JUDGE YOURSELF Wednesday, 11 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa mā ubarri’u nafsī inna n-nafsa la-ammāratun bil-sū’i illā mā raḥima rabbī inna rabbī ghafūrun raḥīm" (12:53). This āyah is the āyah mentioned in Sūratu l-Yūsuf in Qur’ān. It says, "I am not saying my ego is good. The ego orders evil. And Allāh is forgiving. The forgiver is Allāh. The ego of a person always orders evil. If you follow the ego, it will never order anything ". good. You shouldn't follow after it. You should lead it wherever you like.
People nowadays, when something happens, they immediately defend themselves and say, "I didn't do anything but right." People don't accept any fault. There is always an ego in a person. It makes mistakes and does wrong. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is showing in Qur’ān, we should be careful. If we make a mistake, we recognize. If we make it towards people, we have to say sorry and show our regret by saying, "We did this wrong to you. Excuse us please." People nowadays do the opposite by saying, "I didn't do it. It's your fault. It's your mistake. You have to ask forgiveness from me." People are teaching this in their families too. And their families grow up with these teachings since childhood. They think they are perfect their whole lives. All mistakes and faults belong to others. They don't accept any fault. And it is not a nice thing. They take people's rights on their shoulders. In some cases, they take away due rights. If they oppress people, they commit a sin.
Our ego is bad. People should know that. They should judge themselves then. Judge yourself before going to ākhirah. Ask yourself: "Is what I did right or wrong?" If it's wrong, it is good to ask forgiveness from that person, not leaving it to ākhirah. That person will be happy too. And the hate between you will end. Otherwise, if you are wrong and claim the other side is wrong, you commit a sin then. And the other side will have enmity against you. Love will disappear between you and it will be bad. Therefore, as we said, we should educate our ego. We have to get good manners with Islām. We should learn from the beautiful manners of our Prophet because our Prophet a day came in his last days when he said: "If I did any wrong to you, tell me so that I can pay it back to you." One of the ṣaḥābah said: "I think you pushed me on my back. I want to push
you too." All the ṣaḥābah were surprised at this. When our Prophet opened his back, the ṣaḥābah kissed it. He said, "I wanted to do this."
Can you imagine? The great Prophet, the most merciful of people, is showing us this to teach us a lesson even though he never caused any hardship to anyone in order for it to be an example to people until Qiyāmah. It is not a shame to ask forgiveness. It is a virtue to accept one's fault. People look with respect at such people.
May Allāh give us those attributes, In Sha Allah.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem "Wa mā ubarri’u nafsī inna n-nafsa la-ammāratun bil-sū’i illā mā raḥima rabbī inna rabbī ghafūrun raḥīm" (12:53). This is āyah verses from Qur’ān, from Yūsuf, Sūratu Yūsuf, saying I'm not saying my ego – I cannot make my ego pure, no any bad from this. No. My ego it is ordering bad thing but Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is forgiving us, He is merciful for us. Allāh create this ego as it is not good but it is useful. You follow it, never take you to good thing. Never ego... If you say, "I will follow this ego maybe sometimes can take me to good thing." Never. As much you following your ego, you are going to bad thing from worse to worse. Never coming. But ego it must follow you. You take your ego to good place, higher place. To good thing, to do good thing you must take it after you, not you follow it.
Ego must follow you and this is for teaching us the... to be accept we are doing mistake, we are doing wrong thing, we are sometimes make trouble. Everything we can do. We are not perfect. Only perfect – Prophets. They not do any wrong thing, any sin. But we do sin, we do mistake, we do wrong thing. Human being can do this. This is normal for human being. But you must know it is. When you do this, after if you recognise – "Oh I do bad thing. I apologize from what I do, what I done for people, for anybody, for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla." We apologize. Don't say I'm right. Because nowadays, people, everybody wrong except themself; not accepting any mistake. They are perfect. They are not doing bad thing and this is the first bad thing they are thinking. This also the most wrong thing they are... Okay you can do wrong thing but you must say, "Oh I have this bad ego, she do again this bad thing." So we must apologize. Don't say, "I'm right, I'm – they must come for me." No.
You must just judge yourself before big Judgement Day. In that in one second, one minute you can find, make, look and without any... You must be straight. Don't take your ego's side. If what you done it is wrong. It is good and Allāh will be happy with you if you say to what you done, you make it right again. If you take something wrong you can give. If you make some wrong action, you can ask apologize from this people. So you will be beloved and respected in among the human being. But if you are all time not accepting truth and every time you say, "I'm right, I'm right," you be not respect in among people and people they will be run away from you. This here and in ākhirah also Allāh
will punish you because you do something for people. And in ākhirah also this people if they not forgive you, you will be more difficult for you.
But, Alhamdulilah, Prophet showing us with this, the most perfect one. Before he, going changing his world was once he said for ṣaḥābah: "Oh if anybody have anything from me I have done something for people, you have, you want something from me without I knowing I done. Ask and I will give you." One of ṣaḥābah he said, "Once you make like this for me, hit me little bit. I like to take revenge." And "okay" said Prophet. Ṣaḥābah was very surprised. "What is this not good behave one? How he can say this for Prophet. And Prophet said, "Stop. He is right. Okay come." And he open his back and this ṣaḥābah kiss him from there. Said only "I want to do this." So this is lesson until Qiyāmah for ummah, how Prophet sensitive for people and how we are acting not accepting any wrong thing we are do. We are only do good thing.
So this is very important to judge ourself quickly. If you are right, okay no need to apologize but if they are that one right, you must apologize quickly and to be happy. He will be happy with you and you will be more comfort because you done you your ego down and you are powerful against your ego. The most powerful one who can control his ego. Allāh help us to do this, to be take from Prophet's attribute, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
65.BLESSED GATHERINGS Thursday, 12 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our ṭarīqah exists with ṣuḥbah and goodness is in assembly. The goodness of this assembly extends to those who come. Certainly a person who comes to these gatherings finds benefit in them. There are many gatherings. If you go to the markets, there are all kinds of gatherings but all of them are gatherings for this world. The world is remembered there, Allāh is forgotten.
Our gatherings are to remind about Allāh, gatherings to be with Allāh. These are the best of gatherings. And these gatherings are few. When compared to other gatherings, they are very few. Therefore, no matter how people come to these gatherings, they certainly get benefit out of them. It will be useful for them. There will be guidance for their egos. Slowly, slowly Allāh will help them stay away from wrong things. Therefore, whoever comes from far or near, when their goal is the pleasure of Allāh and meeting people there, Allah writes thawāb (reward) for their every step; forgives their sins and raises their station.
And we are in holy months now. The month of Rajab is the holy month of Allāh. During this month thawāb is given ten fold, hundred fold, even thousand fold more. Coming and being present in these gatherings is a rare treasure. People look for treasure. Nowadays it became fashionable. The main treasure they should look for, which will bring eternal benefit, is these gatherings. And we should hold to these gatherings. Shayṭān doesn't like these gatherings. When someone wants to attend, he puts a hundred burdens on him. He tries to put a hundred obstacles in order for the man not to come. But when the man comes, he gets blessings from this gathering. He reaches Allāh's favours. Burdens are lifted off his shoulders. When he returns home from the gathering, he is lighter and blessed, full of light. People who attend other gatherings come light and running, but after they sit there, heaviness and darkness falls on them. When they leave it, they leave troubled. They enter their homes with a problem.
This is an important matter because all people now are thinking, "We are in trouble and stress." Of course, it is because of these bad gatherings. This bad gathering influences other people too. And good gatherings give light and benefit to the cities and countries
around. No matter how much evil there is, people who come to that gathering find peace. And pleasure is felt by the people around, as the favour of Allāh comes to that city or country. May Allāh increase these gatherings. Mawlānā used to say, "I will make forty thousand dergahs. That is my intention." Shukr to Allāh, there are many dergahs. May they become even more. They are the gatherings of Allāh. Our ṭarīqah we said it is ṣuḥbah and to be gathering with good people and to meet with good people and to mention Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Prophet and holy people, good people. This is our gathering, main aim for ṭarīqah to gather with people and to teach them. This majlis, gathering it is blessed one. Each people coming here for any purpose, Allāh will reward them. Even Grand Shaykh was saying, if somebody coming to call one from majlis and he just going this majlis – even this man Allāh will reward him and give him reward. Because this is many gathering in every country, every place, every city, but to find gathering for sake of Allāh very rare. Very few but it is the most precious, the what have value. Because giving people bless from Allāh and Allāh kindness on them and every good thing for this people who are attending this gathering.
They are coming for this gathering, people, many people shayṭān make them to many excuse to not come. Difficult for them to come but if they come, they are will be happy. They will be light. When finish gathering and going to their house, Allāh give them also present to take this sadness from them and give them happiness, give them mercy. When they going to house they will be happy with family also. But other gathering – they are coming quickly running for bad gathering and after becoming heavy, becoming stress, becoming more sad when they are going out to their house. But they are not knowing from what this happen. This country or other country, every city, thousands of gathering but most of them for bad thing, only for to enjoy their ego. Themself speaking with people to they are thinking we are doing good but when they are not remembering Allāh they are not doing good. They thought everything from themself and after this when Allāh give them heaviness and darkness they don't know what to do.
To do to remember Allāh, to attend good gathering and remembering, mentioning holy name of Allāh, mentioning Prophet, and holy people and to ask bless from and forgiveness from Allāh. When you do this you are, In Sha Allah, happy and we are especially in this very holy months, first month Rajab – month of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And it is nearly finish. Tomorrow, In Sha Allah, tomorrow night we will make, In Sha Allah, Isrā’, Mi‘rāj. We will make, In Sha Allah, gathering also for this. It is very holy night, in shā’a Llāh, and after that next day there is fasting. Prophet was encouraging us to fast this and to make tomorrow night holy night. Ask what you want from Allāh. In Sha Allah, Allāh give us this what we are wanting. All good, all for ummah, for hidāyah for all of people, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
66.THE PURPOSE OF FOLLOWING SHAYKH Saturday, 14 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our ṭarīqah is for educating the ego. Allāh created the ego for it to be educated. The ego has no adab or education. In rare cases, people control their egos on their own. However, when they follow a Shaykh, they educate their ego. There are billions of people, not millions, most of them follow their egos. They cannot control their egos. The ego controls them.
Our dergah and mashāyikh, this duty is given to them by Allāh. It has come from our Prophet. All kinds of people come to the dergah. Some of them are educated in one day. Their ego can be educated. This happens too. Some of them are in dergah for a year, some for 10 years, some are in dergah for 50 years and neither they are educated, nor controlling their ego. They think they are something. They say, "I've served in the dergah for this much time." That person didn't get anything. He leaves just as he came. He was even better before he came. When he came, he was better. He became worse. This happens too by Allāh's wisdom because he didn't submit himself. His intention was not for ākhirah. The intention was ego, to serve the ego. And he wants people to serve his ego.
When they say, "I am Shaykh," they want to serve not Allāh but their ego. Not just one, there are many such people. And there are such people in order to be an example and lesson for others. A holy man came to a Shaykh once. He asked, "How many murīds do I have? What are their ages?" "Let me show you. Most of my murīds are dead. This one was three months old," he said by one grave. The man asked "How come? Three months old murīd?" "This one was six months, this one was a year old. The eldest murīd was 12 years old." The man asked, "How come they became murīd in infancy? That's impossible." All of them were 60, 70, 80 years old but only then were they able to control their egos. Then they become three months old murīds. You can make your own count assuming you are in service for 50 or 100 years.
No one needs your service. Allāh sent you on this way. You should make shukr. Billions of people are running on bad ways. No one says, "I am on this way for 50 years, I regret it." You should be in dergah to make an account. These dergahs are to teach manners
and adab to some people. In some places it's not working. But there are many people who sometimes learn adab in one day. The important thing is sincerity. The purity of your intention and your sincerity become means for you to get benefit. Otherwise, if you come scheming from the first day, thinking about making more money and ways of getting benefit, you can remain for 100 years, you will leave worse than before.
May Allāh protect us. Be careful about this. Beware of your ego. The ego is bad. We talk about ego all the time but people are putting their egos on the highest place. May Allāh protect us.
Our ṭarīqah, all ṭarīqah for training our ego; to make it good behave because ego, as we said, never tell you good thing. You must tell ego good thing. By yourself it is difficult. You must be follow some guidance, some shaykh, murshid; to obey his order and you will, In Sha Allah, control your ego.
There is not million [but] billion of people now in this world, very few of them they are looking for training their ego, to not follow their ego. All people they are running after ego. Everywhere, everything where you turn your face, just for your ego. Giving how to satisfy your ego, how to be enjoy yourself, how to be happy with yourself. This is what they are people following. But dergah, zāwiyah – purpose for this to teach people to control themself and their ego. And when you come to dergah you must be know this you from first day. You must say, "I'm coming here." Some people they are saying, "We are here since ten years" or some of them "twenty years, some of them thirty years we are here. We are serving for dergah and we are, we must take our benefit from this." And they are want benefit. They are not looking for benefit of spiritual. No. They looking for material. This is what some, very few people like this. But also this is we warning people [not] to be like this people.
You are here in dergah or you are coming, going. This is the biggest favour from Allāh Billion of people they are following their ego and they thought they are happy. But you must be happy, you must know your purpose of to be in dergah – to following Shaykh. You are, of course you are chosen by Allāh because you cannot put anybody here. You must be happy. Don't think thought about material thing or I spend so many years... You spent many years say "al-ḥamdu liLlāh." You are with Shaykh and you are making your worshipping, every good thing Allāh order you are doing. What else you want? Shaykh don't want you to work for him, to help him to make for zāwiyah. If anybody like to help they can help but not calling people [to] leave everything and come here. No. This people they are coming here by themself and many of them they left after Mawlānā also. They said, "When Mawlānā close his eyes, nothing finish. We are going from here." And this is they are unlucky. They are, we cannot say anything for them. They are free here, also dergah free. Everybody can come, everybody can go. We not holding with chain or tying them. No. Our only giving them good advice and, In Sha Allah, good guidance,
following way of awliyā’u Llāh until Prophet. As Prophet saying, all Prophets say, "Lā as’alukum ‘alayhi ajran in huwa illā dhikrá lil-‘ālamīn" (6:90). We not asking you any wages. We not ask any money, anything. They Prophets, they was saying also this for their... "only we are remembering [reminding] you you are here not for your ego." O who are claiming they are becoming Shaykh, you are not Shaykh. You are become shayṭān because making people also to confuse. No. You are following your ego. You are following your material desire and looking for more and more. Be regret and ask for forgiveness from Allāh or Allāh will punish you.
We are not saying anything because everything Allāh knowing, Allāh seeing. Not like to be saying, "We are doing this for you." Allāh not in need for you, not for whole universe. Allāh not in need for him. You are in need for Allāh. He is, He can say, "I give you this, I give you that, I give you everything." Tawba astaghfiru Llāh.

67.TO BE ACCEPTABLE IN DIVINE PRESENCE Sunday, 15 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Prophet is saying, "Khayrukum man ṭāla ‘umruhu wa ḥasana ‘amaluhu". What is our purpose in this world? He says, "Who has long life and spends his life by doing good deeds and follows the way of our Prophet, he is the best among you." A good person is not the one who earns the most money or who leads the most people. Apart from the orders of Allāh, there is no benefit in anything. No matter how much knowledge, education, or rank someone has, he has no value in the eyes of Allāh. The worthy is the one who follows Allāh's orders and conducts his life on that way.
You don't have to be imām or ‘ālim to be a good person, says our Prophet. Any Muslim who carries out Allāh's orders and avoids forbidden things all his life is the best, the best among the Ummah. Our purpose is to be accepted by Allāh. To be accepted by the people in this world is sometimes not acceptable in the presence of Allāh. Most people who are accepted by Allāh are not given value and care here. But the value given by Allāh is accepted. The rest is nothing.
Therefore, may Allāh give us long life. May He make it easy to be on the way of Allāh generosity for us to be on the right way. If it's for the ego, most people will follow other ways. But Allāh wished goodness for us. He made it easy for us to keep on this way. Therefore, don't give much value to this world. You have joined the way and follow a Shaykh, that is a big favour. Know the value of that favour. Don't say, "I did this. I did that." All of our egos can take us from the right way. However, if a person controls his ego, Allāh helps him too.
May Allāh not separate us from this way, In Sha Allah. May we be on the right way both while young and old. Some people sometimes say when they are young: "I am too young. Let me have fun now. I will come to Allāh's way afterwards." That is a wrong thing. Because near Allāh young pure people are among the most beloved. They receive the most blessings. Their stations become high. After doing things, certainly there are virtues for those who repent. But the young pure people are gathered together with the Prophets. A young pure person is the person who respects Allāh and fears the forbidden things. Therefore, they should come to this way while young as well.
May we be on this way till the end of our lives and until our last breath, In Sha Allah. Prophet saying, "Khayrukum man ṭāla ‘umruhu wa ḥasana ‘amaluhu." He is saying to us what it is the best thing for believer, for whole human being of course: "Who he becoming old and his good deeds, he make good thing." Good thing, what is good thing? To build long building, to have big money? To have to be president? To be this? No this not good thing in Divinely Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is not any no any value for this. The value – you obey His order. His order, He is our Creator, His order good for whole human being. To do this is good for you, for believer, for non-believer, for whole creature. This is Allāh's order, to be good for all of this to obey and to make what He is order. First to worship Him, to know Him and to be mercy for creature and to good to do good thing for people, to not harm people. This is good thing. And who he is – Allāh give him long life, he is the best one in Divinely Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is Prophet and of course in Prophet also he is also happy, loving this people – not to be coming old and every people they waiting to what this man doing. No. It is the best thing for us, for all of believer, to be in this order of Prophet and which is to be good for people. And when you are good for people first you be in this become good for you before others also.
Alhamdulilah we are in way of Prophet, way of mashāyikh and who coming to this way they must accept to not look. Some of them they saying, "We do this we do that." No. This is, when you say this you finish your value what you done. Even you done, you do this for sake of Allāh not for sake and for anybody – first for Allāh and He is reward you. He is happy with you from young until the end of your life. People also, some people saying, "We can be good later." No. From beginning if you be good Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He like more young people who are following Him. They are the His lover and they are in stage like Prophets, very, very high stage they have. So, In Sha Allah, we try to be whole life from childhood until end of life, our aim to accept, be acceptable people in Divinely Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is our aim; not to for dunyā. Only for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Prophet. Allāh help us because this also from His favour for us. We cannot do without His favour, His big favour to get us to be in good way and acceptable people. Allāh help us, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
68.AL-ASR AND AL-HAQQANI Monday, 16 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla told us in Qur’ānu l-Karīm things that will make all our lives better. All sūrahs are beautiful – long and short. Some are short but they can cover everything. For example, Sūratu l-‘Aṣr. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa l-‘aṣri inna l-insāna lafī khusrin illā lladhīna āmanū wa ‘amilū ṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqqi wa tawāṣaw biṣ- ṣabr" (103:1-3). It shows everything we should do in order not to be in loss... Mankind is in loss and danger. This is said about the majority of people. Their end is in loss. Their lives are harmed and in loss. It is said that only those who believe, do goodness and charity. They are the exception.
But as we said, the majority of people are in loss because they cannot think of believing or doing goodness. Those who do are in the minority. The majority are those who don't believe, who have no religion, who are outside Allāh's religion. If you look, the whole world is like this. And it is the same among Muslims. They can have belief but they don't carry out Allāh's orders. They are in loss too because they've got the favour and don't use it. They push it away and say "I don't want it".
"Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqq" (103:3). They should advise each other goodness and truth: "Follow the truth. Be on the true way. Pay due rights. Don't take someone's rights away. Be satisfied with Ḥaqq." The name that was given to Mawlānā was Ḥaqqānī. Ḥaqqānī means the one who accepts Ḥaqq, who is pleased with Ḥaqq, who doesn't ask for anything but Ḥaqq. Nearly 40 years ago brothers had gathered and Mawlānā said this in the city of Tripoli in Lebanon. Tripoli is a blessed beautiful city. Mawlānā loved it. He used to visit it every 15 days. He stayed there and gave ṣuḥbah to people. And he said in one of the meetings that this is his name – Ḥaqqānī, S

nice clothes. We like them to be clean too. We love good things". Our Prophet replied "Allāh is Beautiful. He likes beauty. Things are not from arrogance. They are the favours of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created everything beautiful. But people made it ugly with their bad character. He likes everything beautiful. He doesn't like those ugly things. He Allāh created this world in the best shape. Mankind made it ugly with their sins and bad manners. They spread ugliness everywhere whereas Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created it beautiful. People in old times used to pay attention to this. Therefore, everything they did had some fineness and beauty. Though there was not such abundance as there is now, people built their small houses nicely. Now they build ugly homes from concrete. When they live in them, their ugliness reflects itself. And the ugliest thing is arrogance. Wearing nice clothes is not arrogance but feeling proud of wearing them is ugly. Otherwise, Allāh made everything ḥalāl for us. Live nicely, be with the good ones and Allāh will love you.
As we said, beauty is to obey Allāh's orders and to take care of the things Allāh created. You should value everything. As Allāh created these beautiful things, you should say, "If Allāh loves beauty, we shall love it too." May Allāh give all of us good manners, good attributes and adab, In Sha Allah. May He keep us away from such ugly attributes, In Sha Allah.
Prophet saying his ḥadīth, his talking - we say ḥadīth - all nice all full of wisdom. We are learning every good thing from Prophet. Because Qur’ān also big miracle. After Qur’ān, to translate to Qur’ān for ummah, there is ḥadīth - also to saying what to do, what not to do. And one of this ḥadīth it is very nice. He was saying "Allāh He don't like to pride. Proude pride? Pride. And ṣaḥābah who Prophet saying, "who has pride in his heart he will suffer. Before going to clean his heart, he must be in hell. Cannot go first to Jannah." And ṣaḥābah was afraid and asking "O Prophet we are like to dress nice dress, to eat
good Prophet saying his ḥadīth, his talking - we say ḥadīth - all nice all full of wisdom. We are learning every good thing from Prophet. How we can finish [end up]?" Prophet saying, "No this is not pride. Allāh Beautiful and He like beautiful - inna Llāha jamīl yuḥibbu l-jamāl.
He likes beauty. Because everything He create - beautiful, nice, good but human being with their bad deeds and their bad attributes and what worst thing they do they make whole this world ugly. And most ugly thing - pride. Pride it is the most ugly thing but also what they are doing from sin they are affecting nice thing become ugly. Because what Allāh create it was enough for whole creature but shayṭān make this people to be destroying all beauty. Old time people they was looking after this. Even their life was more humble but they have nice house. Inside house, around house also they was looking for nice thing. Not like now, now people they are only found with ugly thing. Like the most ugly thing concrete. And it is, subḥāna Llāh, in last century they discover this bad material and whole it is the essence of uglier thing. Especially in when Communist place when after Communist we was way going with Mawlānā to this country and real it is very tough, very ugly, very disturbing when you see it.
And now Muslim everywhere you see even the most holiest place. You cannot see anymore Ka‘bah only you see concrete whole around. And after this you see this people going for making ‘ibādah worshipping and to get reward and they are from this, you see them put the bread, food, walking on them, throwing them making not respecting ni‘mah. All this from ugly thing. Ugly thing bring, make you to make ugly thing also, ugly doing. So Allāh He like beauty. We must like beauty and to be careful and to look it is not sin. Maybe many people, Muslim people as ṣaḥābah was asking, they thought to be have ugly thing it is good for Muslim. No not good. You must have good thing, you must do nice thing. You must teach your family, your where you are living to be have good. Essence to know ugly and to know good. And when you know this you will be know you are in way of Prophet.
So Prophet he coming to teach us nice good thing, In Sha Allah. Allāh جل ه الل ج help us and to know this and to be love this, In Sha Allah.

62.HAPPINESS ONLY WITH BELIEF Saturday, 7 of April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Mankind is in a search of something. Since birth until death, they are trying to get some happiness and peace. They are doing various things thinking, "Will our condition be better if we do this? Will we become happier?" And families put them in schools at first. Despite their ability to learn, they force them to study. Then comes work. After that, they get married looking for ways to get busy. They still search for happiness.
This world is a place of tests. You cannot be happy continuously. Some people, by the wisdom of Allāh, are troubled ones, their whole lives pass in tests. Some bear and some cannot bear such a life. Not all people are like that. But there is some that Allāh willed to be so. People come across problems one after another. Another trouble comes as soon as one is over. Some are patient but most are not patient and it is worse for them. If they realize it comes from Allāh, it becomes easier for them. They know it isn't for nothing. But a person without belief doesn't know what to do. Some are not patient. Some even commit suicide because of such matters.
And peace and happiness – with belief make everything fine for a man. Whatever comes from Allāh, be it a favour or a trouble, who says it comes from Mawlá and is patient, doesn't lose peace. Because he knows where he comes from and where he will go. He knows why things happened, why Allāh created us and why he is in such situation. People without belief are objecting. Who has no belief doesn't know where they come from and where they will go. Their condition is difficult, their situation is bad. Therefore, we have the biggest weapon, the biggest favour – the favour of īmān. Our weapon is belief. We face all difficulties with it. When we have it, we are at peace.
Our belief should grow. Remember Allāh every moment. Make dhikr of Allāh. To make dhikr is to remember Allāh, not only with tasbīḥ but also with heart. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla should be in your heart. He is seeing us. What comes to us is from Him. When we believe that everything is from Allāh, we are fine. If they say, "Did I do something so that this happened to me?" That is possible too. Sometimes when people do wrong, Allāh sends more troubles to them. And some are sent as a test, as we said.
May Allāh protect all of us. May He not give us a test we can't pass. Because you can be treated with kindness or you can be treated with testing. We are not people of test. We should always pray that He treats us with kindness and mercy. We shouldn't ask for burdens we cannot carry.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is our Creator and human beings, all human beings, they are wondering for what happen, what some and looking after happiness – where they can find happiness. Whole life they running after this thing happiness. From beginning when small boy their family they try to teach them. Some of them teaching them only to look for succeed to study. After study to have job. After job they can married, they can have family. This whole human being. But some of them.
Most of them they are forgetting the most important thing – to give them belief, to be believer. Because they are looking for happiness and happiness only with belief can be. Because our life nobody they have happiness for whole life. Sometimes happening something for everybody in this world. The most richest one and the most poorest one also they have some test for them, something. Cannot be whole life happy. Must be sadness, something wrong, something bad can be happen for all human being. In this world it is temporary, temporary world. Next world it will forever but this like only to little while. So don't look for happiness for whole life but you, if you are not believer never will be happy here.
But if you are believer everything coming you know from your Lord, your Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And many awliyā’u Llāh saint they was saying what you come from our Lord even bad – they not say bad thing – but what not good thing, trouble or any misery come they are happy. "This is coming from our Lord." Happiness coming also they are happy – this coming from, we are accept this and we must we are happy because we know from where coming. We are knowing where we will go, In Sha Allah.
But who are not believer it is problem for them because all time they are not happy, objecting for everything and not satisfy with anything. Because they don't know, they thought they can do what they in this world what they want. No. Something you cannot do. Something you can do. Some things, many things you cannot do. For this you are, they are miserable and unhappy. Happiness as we said with belief and accept. When you becoming more believe, you more happy. Because you are with your Lord. Every time who was with his Lord he must be happy. With Sulṭān he must be happy. When he say make praying the most nearest time for servant to be with his Lord in praying, especially in sajdah the most near. So it is happiness in this world.
Many of them they are not looking for even paradise. Saints saying, "We are here also in paradise with our Lord and what He when He will put next life also paradise it will be ok. But here also we are happy with our Lord. We are happy to be His servant, to be He
create us and put us in this shape." What He say in Qur’ān: "Wa laqad karramnā banī Ādam" (17:70). He said, "We are make human being most highest position, most honorable creature." This is the biggest happiness for them.
This is what prophets and saint and all this holy people trying to teach people and people they are not caring. Only they are looking for studying, for work, for or and everything. And they are looking for happiness with dirty thing, with bad thing. And this people they are giving them happiness, with very clean, very nice shape but this people running after their ego and they are be miserable here and hereafter also. Allāh save us from our ego and to be.
Allāh give us strong belief and we are asking not to make to test us. To not give what we cannot – burden. It is asking from Him mercy. Not asking something we cannot do, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
63.MADHHAB AND MUFTI Tuesday, 10 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The religion of Islām shows us the good way. Its ways and teachings we learn from hojjas and parents. Shukr to Allāh, most of the Muslims know how to pray and fast. Some are more advanced in their knowledge. They see themselves as superior. Moreover, they say there is no need to follow a madhhab. We have our imāms of madhāhib. They are the people who met those who were close to our Prophet, ṣaḥābah and those who came after them. The best and and most correct knowledge is with them. But people nowadays are not accepting it. They say, "They are just like us. We can also give fatwá according to our minds without following any madhhab. We can do whatever the religion is allowing us to do." And then some get really absurd by saying there is no ablution, no praying. They are reaching to that extent.
We have to be careful regarding this matter. Giving fatwá is the most serious matter. Don't approach it as you like. Fatwá is not even for hojjas. And not every hojja can make it. They can say only some things they know. They can teach how to pray and all. But sometimes there are fatwás, when you ask how to carry it out, the pious imāms will say, "You have to ask a muftī. I can't give this fatwá. I am hojja. My duty is limited to this. The duty of fatwá is for muftīs." It was like this during the time of the Ottomans. It is so now too but most people don't know it and they give fatwá according to their minds making judgments. They are saying things outside the madhāhib. They are people not on the right way. They have became many.
Shayṭān is trying every possible way. If he puts the enemies of Islām clearly, people will stay away from them. So he is finding the weak ones among Muslims who follow their egos. And he is making them speak by cheating them with money, fame or other things. And people with weak faith follow them without realizing. And these things, as we said, won't bring any benefit for them. They'll be shamed here before going to ākhirah and in ākhirah, they'll be certainly punished for misleading so many people from the right way. May Allāh protect us.
The important thing here is to say "I don't know" for what we don't know. No need to give fatwá. If there is something you know, you read in ḥadīth or heard from the
scholars, you can say you heard that. No need to teach things. Don't take the burden on your shoulders. May Allāh protect us. It is the end of times. Everyone is following their ego, making judgments and fatwá as they like.
Our religion Islām it is perfect and everything shown and Prophet show us everything. What Allāh taught him he teach us. And there was many whole ṣaḥābah they can give advice or when you ask them something all of them they can show you way, right way. And so in that time no need for madhhab because each one like imām of madhhab. But later they are pass away many of them and becoming less and less. This madhhab until imām of four madhhab there was teaching people but also even in that time there was many madhhab until the all of them they don't have any follower – coming four madhhab and this four madhhab it is right and ḥaqq madhhab. We follow them. We are obligatory to follow.
But this days people they are, normal Muslim people, they are knowing and following from mother, father, or in school they teach them what to do and they are following this. But this days, nowadays, there is fashion especially for people who are studying in religious school or university, religion. Many of them, very many of them, they are saying, "This imāms they not right. We can also, we have mind, we have thinking. We can read and saying what we must do, what we not do." And most of them they giving teaching against Prophet teaching. They saying no need for wuḍū’, no need for praying also. Even until that limit they are coming. Some of them less than this. Some of them said, "Don't pray sunnah. Don't wear ḥijāb. Don't do this..." Each order of sharī‘ah they are saying don't do this, this is not real.
And this people normally you think they are study in religious but their ego and their weak character make them fall in trap of shayṭān. They are giving them money. They are giving them fame or something like this. They are happy with this thing and forgetting to fear from Allāh. Only they are thinking they are living here. Their fear is zero. They don't have any belief. They even non-believer they are [more] believer than this people. And unfortunately there is many of them in every country – in Turkey, in Egypt – this is the biggest country for Muslim – Pakistan, Iran, Saudi. All this the biggest country – they are most of them in this country. But what we will do? We will, we must be careful from them, not believe them, not accept what they are saying.
Because in Islām there is – if you want to ask something you can ask for scholar. What he know he can tell you. But there is another thing – giving fatwá. What not everybody know this, there is special people, specialist we call them muftī, to give fatwá. Fatwá meaning special thing they only this people they can give this and they are responsible what for what they are saying. So for this, even for ourself we saying, if you know something – somebody ask we can tell them – if we know really. But sometimes there is problem question. This problem question they must ask for muftī, to not be responsible
– to responsibility for muftī. And they are special people and they have ijāzah. If they are can give right fatwá, Allāh reward them maybe twice. But even not knowing and they giving wrong, Allāh also reward once because they are have good intention and they are real want to help. This is for muftī. But if you are, you are not muftī and some people coming for you and asking and even you giving right answer, it's also you are not acceptable.
So we must be careful, must be very sensitive for this matter. Especially in this days because this days everybody giving their idea and people saying, "This ‘ālim he said like this. We following him." But maybe he is he not have ijāzah to give fatwá or to say for people for this. So Allāh keep us safe from this people, this who are following ego and following shayṭān. There are many of them. Allāh give them hidāyah also, In Sha Allah.

64.JUDGE YOURSELF Wednesday, 11 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa mā ubarri’u nafsī inna n-nafsa la-ammāratun bil-sū’i illā mā raḥima rabbī inna rabbī ghafūrun raḥīm" (12:53). This āyah is the āyah mentioned in Sūratu l-Yūsuf in Qur’ān. It says, "I am not saying my ego is good. The ego orders evil. And Allāh is forgiving. The forgiver is Allāh. The ego of a person always orders evil. If you follow the ego, it will never order anything ". good. You shouldn't follow after it. You should lead it wherever you like.
People nowadays, when something happens, they immediately defend themselves and say, "I didn't do anything but right." People don't accept any fault. There is always an ego in a person. It makes mistakes and does wrong. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is showing in Qur’ān, we should be careful. If we make a mistake, we recognize. If we make it towards people, we have to say sorry and show our regret by saying, "We did this wrong to you. Excuse us please." People nowadays do the opposite by saying, "I didn't do it. It's your fault. It's your mistake. You have to ask forgiveness from me." People are teaching this in their families too. And their families grow up with these teachings since childhood. They think they are perfect their whole lives. All mistakes and faults belong to others. They don't accept any fault. And it is not a nice thing. They take people's rights on their shoulders. In some cases, they take away due rights. If they oppress people, they commit a sin.
Our ego is bad. People should know that. They should judge themselves then. Judge yourself before going to ākhirah. Ask yourself: "Is what I did right or wrong?" If it's wrong, it is good to ask forgiveness from that person, not leaving it to ākhirah. That person will be happy too. And the hate between you will end. Otherwise, if you are wrong and claim the other side is wrong, you commit a sin then. And the other side will have enmity against you. Love will disappear between you and it will be bad. Therefore, as we said, we should educate our ego. We have to get good manners with Islām. We should learn from the beautiful manners of our Prophet because our Prophet a day came in his last days when he said: "If I did any wrong to you, tell me so that I can pay it back to you." One of the ṣaḥābah said: "I think you pushed me on my back. I want to push
you too." All the ṣaḥābah were surprised at this. When our Prophet opened his back, the ṣaḥābah kissed it. He said, "I wanted to do this."
Can you imagine? The great Prophet, the most merciful of people, is showing us this to teach us a lesson even though he never caused any hardship to anyone in order for it to be an example to people until Qiyāmah. It is not a shame to ask forgiveness. It is a virtue to accept one's fault. People look with respect at such people.
May Allāh give us those attributes, In Sha Allah.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem "Wa mā ubarri’u nafsī inna n-nafsa la-ammāratun bil-sū’i illā mā raḥima rabbī inna rabbī ghafūrun raḥīm" (12:53). This is āyah verses from Qur’ān, from Yūsuf, Sūratu Yūsuf, saying I'm not saying my ego – I cannot make my ego pure, no any bad from this. No. My ego it is ordering bad thing but Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is forgiving us, He is merciful for us. Allāh create this ego as it is not good but it is useful. You follow it, never take you to good thing. Never ego... If you say, "I will follow this ego maybe sometimes can take me to good thing." Never. As much you following your ego, you are going to bad thing from worse to worse. Never coming. But ego it must follow you. You take your ego to good place, higher place. To good thing, to do good thing you must take it after you, not you follow it.
Ego must follow you and this is for teaching us the... to be accept we are doing mistake, we are doing wrong thing, we are sometimes make trouble. Everything we can do. We are not perfect. Only perfect – Prophets. They not do any wrong thing, any sin. But we do sin, we do mistake, we do wrong thing. Human being can do this. This is normal for human being. But you must know it is. When you do this, after if you recognise – "Oh I do bad thing. I apologize from what I do, what I done for people, for anybody, for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla." We apologize. Don't say I'm right. Because nowadays, people, everybody wrong except themself; not accepting any mistake. They are perfect. They are not doing bad thing and this is the first bad thing they are thinking. This also the most wrong thing they are... Okay you can do wrong thing but you must say, "Oh I have this bad ego, she do again this bad thing." So we must apologize. Don't say, "I'm right, I'm – they must come for me." No.
You must just judge yourself before big Judgement Day. In that in one second, one minute you can find, make, look and without any... You must be straight. Don't take your ego's side. If what you done it is wrong. It is good and Allāh will be happy with you if you say to what you done, you make it right again. If you take something wrong you can give. If you make some wrong action, you can ask apologize from this people. So you will be beloved and respected in among the human being. But if you are all time not accepting truth and every time you say, "I'm right, I'm right," you be not respect in among people and people they will be run away from you. This here and in ākhirah also Allāh
will punish you because you do something for people. And in ākhirah also this people if they not forgive you, you will be more difficult for you.
But, Alhamdulilah, Prophet showing us with this, the most perfect one. Before he, going changing his world was once he said for ṣaḥābah: "Oh if anybody have anything from me I have done something for people, you have, you want something from me without I knowing I done. Ask and I will give you." One of ṣaḥābah he said, "Once you make like this for me, hit me little bit. I like to take revenge." And "okay" said Prophet. Ṣaḥābah was very surprised. "What is this not good behave one? How he can say this for Prophet. And Prophet said, "Stop. He is right. Okay come." And he open his back and this ṣaḥābah kiss him from there. Said only "I want to do this." So this is lesson until Qiyāmah for ummah, how Prophet sensitive for people and how we are acting not accepting any wrong thing we are do. We are only do good thing.
So this is very important to judge ourself quickly. If you are right, okay no need to apologize but if they are that one right, you must apologize quickly and to be happy. He will be happy with you and you will be more comfort because you done you your ego down and you are powerful against your ego. The most powerful one who can control his ego. Allāh help us to do this, to be take from Prophet's attribute, In Sha Allah.

65.BLESSED GATHERINGS Thursday, 12 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our ṭarīqah exists with ṣuḥbah and goodness is in assembly. The goodness of this assembly extends to those who come. Certainly a person who comes to these gatherings finds benefit in them. There are many gatherings. If you go to the markets, there are all kinds of gatherings but all of them are gatherings for this world. The world is remembered there, Allāh is forgotten.
Our gatherings are to remind about Allāh, gatherings to be with Allāh. These are the best of gatherings. And these gatherings are few. When compared to other gatherings, they are very few. Therefore, no matter how people come to these gatherings, they certainly get benefit out of them. It will be useful for them. There will be guidance for their egos. Slowly, slowly Allāh will help them stay away from wrong things. Therefore, whoever comes from far or near, when their goal is the pleasure of Allāh and meeting people there, Allah writes thawāb (reward) for their every step; forgives their sins and raises their station.
And we are in holy months now. The month of Rajab is the holy month of Allāh. During this month thawāb is given ten fold, hundred fold, even thousand fold more. Coming and being present in these gatherings is a rare treasure. People look for treasure. Nowadays it became fashionable. The main treasure they should look for, which will bring eternal benefit, is these gatherings. And we should hold to these gatherings. Shayṭān doesn't like these gatherings. When someone wants to attend, he puts a hundred burdens on him. He tries to put a hundred obstacles in order for the man not to come. But when the man comes, he gets blessings from this gathering. He reaches Allāh's favours. Burdens are lifted off his shoulders. When he returns home from the gathering, he is lighter and blessed, full of light. People who attend other gatherings come light and running, but after they sit there, heaviness and darkness falls on them. When they leave it, they leave troubled. They enter their homes with a problem.
This is an important matter because all people now are thinking, "We are in trouble and stress." Of course, it is because of these bad gatherings. This bad gathering influences other people too. And good gatherings give light and benefit to the cities and countries
around. No matter how much evil there is, people who come to that gathering find peace. And pleasure is felt by the people around, as the favour of Allāh comes to that city or country. May Allāh increase these gatherings. Mawlānā used to say, "I will make forty thousand dergahs. That is my intention." Shukr to Allāh, there are many dergahs. May they become even more. They are the gatherings of Allāh. Our ṭarīqah we said it is ṣuḥbah and to be gathering with good people and to meet with good people and to mention Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Prophet and holy people, good people. This is our gathering, main aim for ṭarīqah to gather with people and to teach them. This majlis, gathering it is blessed one. Each people coming here for any purpose, Allāh will reward them. Even Grand Shaykh was saying, if somebody coming to call one from majlis and he just going this majlis – even this man Allāh will reward him and give him reward. Because this is many gathering in every country, every place, every city, but to find gathering for sake of Allāh very rare. Very few but it is the most precious, the what have value. Because giving people bless from Allāh and Allāh kindness on them and every good thing for this people who are attending this gathering.
They are coming for this gathering, people, many people shayṭān make them to many excuse to not come. Difficult for them to come but if they come, they are will be happy. They will be light. When finish gathering and going to their house, Allāh give them also present to take this sadness from them and give them happiness, give them mercy. When they going to house they will be happy with family also. But other gathering – they are coming quickly running for bad gathering and after becoming heavy, becoming stress, becoming more sad when they are going out to their house. But they are not knowing from what this happen. This country or other country, every city, thousands of gathering but most of them for bad thing, only for to enjoy their ego. Themself speaking with people to they are thinking we are doing good but when they are not remembering Allāh they are not doing good. They thought everything from themself and after this when Allāh give them heaviness and darkness they don't know what to do.
To do to remember Allāh, to attend good gathering and remembering, mentioning holy name of Allāh, mentioning Prophet, and holy people and to ask bless from and forgiveness from Allāh. When you do this you are, In Sha Allah, happy and we are especially in this very holy months, first month Rajab – month of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And it is nearly finish. Tomorrow, In Sha Allah, tomorrow night we will make, In Sha Allah, Isrā’, Mi‘rāj. We will make, In Sha Allah, gathering also for this. It is very holy night, in shā’a Llāh, and after that next day there is fasting. Prophet was encouraging us to fast this and to make tomorrow night holy night. Ask what you want from Allāh. In Sha Allah, Allāh give us this what we are wanting. All good, all for ummah, for hidāyah for all of people, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
66.THE PURPOSE OF FOLLOWING SHAYKH Saturday, 14 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our ṭarīqah is for educating the ego. Allāh created the ego for it to be educated. The ego has no adab or education. In rare cases, people control their egos on their own. However, when they follow a Shaykh, they educate their ego. There are billions of people, not millions, most of them follow their egos. They cannot control their egos. The ego controls them.
Our dergah and mashāyikh, this duty is given to them by Allāh. It has come from our Prophet. All kinds of people come to the dergah. Some of them are educated in one day. Their ego can be educated. This happens too. Some of them are in dergah for a year, some for 10 years, some are in dergah for 50 years and neither they are educated, nor controlling their ego. They think they are something. They say, "I've served in the dergah for this much time." That person didn't get anything. He leaves just as he came. He was even better before he came. When he came, he was better. He became worse. This happens too by Allāh's wisdom because he didn't submit himself. His intention was not for ākhirah. The intention was ego, to serve the ego. And he wants people to serve his ego.
When they say, "I am Shaykh," they want to serve not Allāh but their ego. Not just one, there are many such people. And there are such people in order to be an example and lesson for others. A holy man came to a Shaykh once. He asked, "How many murīds do I have? What are their ages?" "Let me show you. Most of my murīds are dead. This one was three months old," he said by one grave. The man asked "How come? Three months old murīd?" "This one was six months, this one was a year old. The eldest murīd was 12 years old." The man asked, "How come they became murīd in infancy? That's impossible." All of them were 60, 70, 80 years old but only then were they able to control their egos. Then they become three months old murīds. You can make your own count assuming you are in service for 50 or 100 years.
No one needs your service. Allāh sent you on this way. You should make shukr. Billions of people are running on bad ways. No one says, "I am on this way for 50 years, I regret it." You should be in dergah to make an account. These dergahs are to teach manners
and adab to some people. In some places it's not working. But there are many people who sometimes learn adab in one day. The important thing is sincerity. The purity of your intention and your sincerity become means for you to get benefit. Otherwise, if you come scheming from the first day, thinking about making more money and ways of getting benefit, you can remain for 100 years, you will leave worse than before.
May Allāh protect us. Be careful about this. Beware of your ego. The ego is bad. We talk about ego all the time but people are putting their egos on the highest place. May Allāh protect us.
Our ṭarīqah, all ṭarīqah for training our ego; to make it good behave because ego, as we said, never tell you good thing. You must tell ego good thing. By yourself it is difficult. You must be follow some guidance, some shaykh, murshid; to obey his order and you will, In Sha Allah, control your ego.
There is not million [but] billion of people now in this world, very few of them they are looking for training their ego, to not follow their ego. All people they are running after ego. Everywhere, everything where you turn your face, just for your ego. Giving how to satisfy your ego, how to be enjoy yourself, how to be happy with yourself. This is what they are people following. But dergah, zāwiyah – purpose for this to teach people to control themself and their ego. And when you come to dergah you must be know this you from first day. You must say, "I'm coming here." Some people they are saying, "We are here since ten years" or some of them "twenty years, some of them thirty years we are here. We are serving for dergah and we are, we must take our benefit from this." And they are want benefit. They are not looking for benefit of spiritual. No. They looking for material. This is what some, very few people like this. But also this is we warning people [not] to be like this people.
You are here in dergah or you are coming, going. This is the biggest favour from Allāh Billion of people they are following their ego and they thought they are happy. But you must be happy, you must know your purpose of to be in dergah – to following Shaykh. You are, of course you are chosen by Allāh because you cannot put anybody here. You must be happy. Don't think thought about material thing or I spend so many years... You spent many years say "al-ḥamdu liLlāh." You are with Shaykh and you are making your worshipping, every good thing Allāh order you are doing. What else you want? Shaykh don't want you to work for him, to help him to make for zāwiyah. If anybody like to help they can help but not calling people [to] leave everything and come here. No. This people they are coming here by themself and many of them they left after Mawlānā also. They said, "When Mawlānā close his eyes, nothing finish. We are going from here." And this is they are unlucky. They are, we cannot say anything for them. They are free here, also dergah free. Everybody can come, everybody can go. We not holding with chain or tying them. No. Our only giving them good advice and, In Sha Allah, good guidance,
following way of awliyā’u Llāh until Prophet. As Prophet saying, all Prophets say, "Lā as’alukum ‘alayhi ajran in huwa illā dhikrá lil-‘ālamīn" (6:90). We not asking you any wages. We not ask any money, anything. They Prophets, they was saying also this for their... "only we are remembering [reminding] you you are here not for your ego." O who are claiming they are becoming Shaykh, you are not Shaykh. You are become shayṭān because making people also to confuse. No. You are following your ego. You are following your material desire and looking for more and more. Be regret and ask for forgiveness from Allāh or Allāh will punish you.
We are not saying anything because everything Allāh knowing, Allāh seeing. Not like to be saying, "We are doing this for you." Allāh not in need for you, not for whole universe. Allāh not in need for him. You are in need for Allāh. He is, He can say, "I give you this, I give you that, I give you everything." Tawba astaghfiru Llāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
67.TO BE ACCEPTABLE IN DIVINE PRESENCE Sunday, 15 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Prophet is saying, "Khayrukum man ṭāla ‘umruhu wa ḥasana ‘amaluhu". What is our purpose in this world? He says, "Who has long life and spends his life by doing good deeds and follows the way of our Prophet, he is the best among you." A good person is not the one who earns the most money or who leads the most people. Apart from the orders of Allāh, there is no benefit in anything. No matter how much knowledge, education, or rank someone has, he has no value in the eyes of Allāh. The worthy is the one who follows Allāh's orders and conducts his life on that way.
You don't have to be imām or ‘ālim to be a good person, says our Prophet. Any Muslim who carries out Allāh's orders and avoids forbidden things all his life is the best, the best among the Ummah. Our purpose is to be accepted by Allāh. To be accepted by the people in this world is sometimes not acceptable in the presence of Allāh. Most people who are accepted by Allāh are not given value and care here. But the value given by Allāh is accepted. The rest is nothing.
Therefore, may Allāh give us long life. May He make it easy to be on the way of Allāh generosity for us to be on the right way. If it's for the ego, most people will follow other ways. But Allāh wished goodness for us. He made it easy for us to keep on this way. Therefore, don't give much value to this world. You have joined the way and follow a Shaykh, that is a big favour. Know the value of that favour. Don't say, "I did this. I did that." All of our egos can take us from the right way. However, if a person controls his ego, Allāh helps him too.
May Allāh not separate us from this way, In Sha Allah. May we be on the right way both while young and old. Some people sometimes say when they are young: "I am too young. Let me have fun now. I will come to Allāh's way afterwards." That is a wrong thing. Because near Allāh young pure people are among the most beloved. They receive the most blessings. Their stations become high. After doing things, certainly there are virtues for those who repent. But the young pure people are gathered together with the Prophets. A young pure person is the person who respects Allāh and fears the forbidden things. Therefore, they should come to this way while young as well.
May we be on this way till the end of our lives and until our last breath, In Sha Allah. Prophet saying, "Khayrukum man ṭāla ‘umruhu wa ḥasana ‘amaluhu." He is saying to us what it is the best thing for believer, for whole human being of course: "Who he becoming old and his good deeds, he make good thing." Good thing, what is good thing? To build long building, to have big money? To have to be president? To be this? No this not good thing in Divinely Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is not any no any value for this. The value – you obey His order. His order, He is our Creator, His order good for whole human being. To do this is good for you, for believer, for non-believer, for whole creature. This is Allāh's order, to be good for all of this to obey and to make what He is order. First to worship Him, to know Him and to be mercy for creature and to good to do good thing for people, to not harm people. This is good thing. And who he is – Allāh give him long life, he is the best one in Divinely Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is Prophet and of course in Prophet also he is also happy, loving this people – not to be coming old and every people they waiting to what this man doing. No. It is the best thing for us, for all of believer, to be in this order of Prophet and which is to be good for people. And when you are good for people first you be in this become good for you before others also.
Alhamdulilah we are in way of Prophet, way of mashāyikh and who coming to this way they must accept to not look. Some of them they saying, "We do this we do that." No. This is, when you say this you finish your value what you done. Even you done, you do this for sake of Allāh not for sake and for anybody – first for Allāh and He is reward you. He is happy with you from young until the end of your life. People also, some people saying, "We can be good later." No. From beginning if you be good Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He like more young people who are following Him. They are the His lover and they are in stage like Prophets, very, very high stage they have. So, In Sha Allah, we try to be whole life from childhood until end of life, our aim to accept, be acceptable people in Divinely Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is our aim; not to for dunyā. Only for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Prophet. Allāh help us because this also from His favour for us. We cannot do without His favour, His big favour to get us to be in good way and acceptable people. Allāh help us, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
68.AL-ASR AND AL-HAQQANI Monday, 16 April 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla told us in Qur’ānu l-Karīm things that will make all our lives better. All sūrahs are beautiful – long and short. Some are short but they can cover everything. For example, Sūratu l-‘Aṣr. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa l-‘aṣri inna l-insāna lafī khusrin illā lladhīna āmanū wa ‘amilū ṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqqi wa tawāṣaw biṣ- ṣabr" (103:1-3). It shows everything we should do in order not to be in loss... Mankind is in loss and danger. This is said about the majority of people. Their end is in loss. Their lives are harmed and in loss. It is said that only those who believe, do goodness and charity. They are the exception.
But as we said, the majority of people are in loss because they cannot think of believing or doing goodness. Those who do are in the minority. The majority are those who don't believe, who have no religion, who are outside Allāh's religion. If you look, the whole world is like this. And it is the same among Muslims. They can have belief but they don't carry out Allāh's orders. They are in loss too because they've got the favour and don't use it. They push it away and say "I don't want it".
"Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqq" (103:3). They should advise each other goodness and truth: "Follow the truth. Be on the true way. Pay due rights. Don't take someone's rights away. Be satisfied with Ḥaqq." The name that was given to Mawlānā was Ḥaqqānī. Ḥaqqānī means the one who accepts Ḥaqq, who is pleased with Ḥaqq, who doesn't ask for anything but Ḥaqq. Nearly 40 years ago brothers had gathered and Mawlānā said this in the city of Tripoli in Lebanon. Tripoli is a blessed beautiful city. Mawlānā loved it. He used to visit it every 15 days. He stayed there and gave ṣuḥbah to people. And he said in one of the meetings that this is his name – Ḥaqqānī, S
