Suhbah 2018: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (9/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5509
haykh Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī – the one who accepts and wants Ḥaqq. Therefore, it wasn't by his wish. That name was given to him and until Qiyāmah it is his name, just like other mashāyikh who have different names. And we have to keep Mawlānā's name as Shaykh Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. It has its wisdom. Who gave this name know what kind of name it is. We won't change this name because this one or that one said something. We can't change it unless he himself changes it. And he didn't change it. He had lived with this name for 40 years. We have to accept it and not make him upset. "
"Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqqi wa tawāṣaw biṣ-ṣabr" (103:3). "And then advise patience to each other." The result of patience is good. It's not easy to bear something. It's not easy for people to bear problems, sorrow, evil and wrong actions. But it is a means to join the group beloved by Allāh. We should be patient for this reason. We have to be tolerant. It is the test of this world. No need to argue and fight with people. An impatient person is always upset. He makes more harm for himself. The outcome of patience is peace. They say it is bitter but its fruit is sweet.
May Allāh let us use this advice and be in the group mentioned by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, In Sha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is giving us advice in Qur’ān whole verses, very nice big verses, big Sūrah, small Sūrah. All of them very valuable. They are whole like most precious jewel. They are even sometimes, small one maybe people they not caring, reading quickly. One of them this Sūratu l-‘Aṣr Allāh swear on time or ‘Aṣr – whole human being they are losers, they are loser. Only acceptable – accept people who are believe on Allāh – “illa lladhīna āmanū wa ‘amilu ṣ-ṣāliḥāt" (103:3) and they make good deed. Good deed what it is? First worship what Allāh order us to worship, what His order to make praying, fasting, if you have enough money to go to pilgrimage, to ḥajj, and to give zakāt if you have money. Also this is worshipping this is salihat.
Because in this world majority they are loser. The non-believer – first loser because they are not believer. But even if who are believer they are not practicing, also they will lose what Allāh grant them – this favour to give them for each thing they are doing, ten times, hundred times, thousand times. Because they are not doing this also they are loser. Only who are doing what He is order, they are winner. Maybe he has now any thing on his but he is winner. Maybe there is people they have half of country, they are loser because they are not in this way. This is first.
Second one: "Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqq" (103:3), to accept truth. Ḥaqq means truth. Truth – we must accept for give everybody's right. What his right, you accept right of Allāh, right of Prophet, to each people what their ḥaqq. Don't take their rights, their thing – this is ḥaqq meaning. "Wa tawāṣaw bi l-ḥaqq" (103:3). It is very important to be not be loser. And, Sub Han Allah, Mawlānā Shaykh he is name in between awliyā’ – Al-Ḥaqqānī. What meaning? He is the defender of or he is following ḥaqq. He is with ḥaqq all time. And this was given for him, I remember, before forty years ago. I was in Tripoli Libanon. Tripoli blessed city, nice city. Mawlānā was like it. And he come, he was that time going, coming from Damascus each, every fifteen days. He is going and coming and one murīd they coming say – I was in... I wasn't there but the people coming and saying to me Mawlānā was saying, you know what is today they give him name.
They give him Al-Ḥaqqānī. Al-Ḥaqqānī very high rank for Mawlānā and he was happy with this because he is all time he is with ḥaqq. Ḥaqq also Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla so he is belong to Ḥaqq. Ḥaqq with him all time. Forty years he was, until his... and, in shā’a Llāh, for until Qiyāmah, until forever also Ḥaqqānī, he is Ḥaqqānī. When they give him this name they are knowing. No anybody can change this name for him if he not want and he didn't want. Whole his life he was carrying this and it is... we are inherit for us. We are must his will, accept his will. Not saying against this. Who take this, it will be problem for him. For this he is happy with this. In shā’a Llāh nobody can, no need for any change for this name and not make – sometimes people making problem with this name – so no need for this. Only accept for awliyā’u Llāh, Prophet, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, giving him this name and he was happy. They are not playing – "we can change, give you today this, tomorrow that." No this for awliyā’ – special like Mawlānā cannot change but for other, they can change. For what they are doing maybe can change but for Mawlānā cannot. So, Alhamdulilah, we are happy with this name and it is mention everywhere.
It is good thing to do for people to accept Ḥaqq, to accept truth, to give everybody his right. This is Mawlana's mission. He was doing this, until now he is doing also from spiritual world also. "Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqqi wa tawāṣaw biṣ-ṣabr" (103:3), and to be patient; to say it for each other to be patient. Because patient it is good thing but it is difficult. And this time people they are most of them impatient. They are not patient and they want quickly everything to happen. Not patient for other people also. But it is, when you are not patient you have many problem. If you are patient you will be safe. And they said patient it is bitter. Bitter but fruit it is sweet. If you be patient at the end you find nice thing. But if you not patient, all time you will be problem and first problem for yourself. You hurt yourself with your anger and impatience. Allāh give us, In Sha Allah, to be with this people, the winner, In Sha Allah, here and hereafter.

69.LET ALLAH MAKE THE CHOICE Wednesday, 18 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 Muhammad says: “What is good and beneficial (khayr) for me, you choose, you do, for us.” What is good or bad for us we do not know. Often what we consider good turns out to be bad, [and] what we consider to be bad for us turns out to be good. That is the reason why the Prophet Muhammad used to make this prayer. We should do this prayer more often.
“Allahumma khir lī wa-khtar lī,”
Let Allah make the choice, let Him give the good, choose the good, because many ways appear, issues come, to a person, [and] he becomes confused. Not to be confused he should trust and leave his affair to Allah and pray so that good comes and bad keeps away. In the End Times there is also a lot more of these things. What they think is good turns out bad; people are being deceived. One goes after a thing without knowledge of what it is. One leaves the good [and] instead follows an affair or a man that is wrong. These things are more widespread in our times.
The wicked ones play with people’s minds to cheat them. They make haram earning by playing with the labor of others. Therefore so as not to be deceived by others, we need to seek Refuge in Allah ‘azza wa jall. We need to trust Him and leave matters to Him. This is our prayer, In Sha Allah. Let Him show us what is beneficial (khayr); let Him show us the good, insha’Allah. We might be deceived, confused, therefore let’s plead to Allah that He not confuse us. Let’s choose the right, be with those who are right. Let us continue on the right path, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
70.OPPRESSION HAS REACHED ITS SUMMIT Friday, 20 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.
Indeed we have come to the End Days. We are to thank Allah for being created in these times, because Allah creates in the time He wishes. Those who are created in these days, and who are on the path of truth, are the best of the “traders”. Our prophet says: Man tamassaka bisunnatī ‘anda fasād ummatī falahu ajru mi’āti shahīd.
In this time the ummah is corrupted. Fasad means corruption. This is the time, the time where everything is upside down. This time is the time where filth is accepted as clean. This is the short way of describing this situation. In these times, whatever filth or disgusting thing there is, they have people eat or drink it, or clothe them in it—while people are agreeing this with pleasure! What Allah has said [to do or to believe] is relegated to the past. These orders do not even cross the minds of Muslims.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Walā tuqtulū n- nafsa llatī ḥarrama Llahu illa bilḥaqq (17:33) “Do not kill a son of man; his life is given by Allah.” Only when it is justified. What does he deserve? If one kills the other, the penalty is death. At the present time, as we already said, they make bad appear as good, [and thus] there is no death penalty for a murderer. Even if he kills hundreds of times, [only] a lifelong sentence is given. These laws are the laws of Satan. They are applied everywhere compulsorily. Of course, people do not abide by them voluntarily—this is not the point, what we are trying to explain is the situation of the End Days, not dispute about the laws.
Perverts and murderers act in filthy ways, then destroy the children and youth. Be it a child or a woman, whoever it is, this is forbidden, but nothing is done against this man. Allah creates a man in his at a spot in his mother’s womb, then calls it a mudra. What is a mudra? Size of a morsel. Later bones develop and so an. On the fortieth day, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives him a soul. Before that he has no soul. Forty days later the soul enters the body. He waits there for forty days, [and] after forty days he has life and is a human being. He is an unguarded being in his mother’s womb, depending on his mother. As they say, she is carrying a soul. When a human gives birth, it is said life comes
from life. By “life” they mean “the soul”. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla puts three sets of walls in the womb of a mother. Until a child is born, it stays where it is.
Now these Satans have invented an instrument. Before, there was an x-ray, [and] they used x-rays out of their stupidity. They later realized x-rays themselves cause harm, such as making the baby disabled. They then decided not to use x-rays. Now they use ultrasound to do the same scanning. They direct the ultrasound on an area [and] then an image appears letting them see what they want. In fact, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla closed this area and left in darkness. They will find out what there is there after the birth. The people of the End Days are impatient. In order for them to commit more errors, Satan has the people go to these doctors.
The doctor just looks and says to himself, “Uh oh, this one looks disabled. Well, what can we do? This is how Allah must have wanted it.” [Translator’s Commentary: That is as if falsely to say that it is Allah’s fault; he must have wanted us to terminate the pregnancy.] No! What are you going to do about it? [Translator’s Commentary: What business is it of yours?] Are you going to take burden on yourself? It will burden you all your life. What shall we do? Shall we send this to the other world before it is born? That is murder. But the murderer is not given the death penalty, because such a penalty is not legally permissible. It is not permissible anywhere in Europe. Already they are with the bad, not with the good; they are with Satan. We, too, now have been drawn into this filth, since they pump and pump continuously their dirt.
This is just a baby, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Do not kill.” He says kill only the one who deserves death. What has this baby done to you? This baby’s feet have not yet touched the ground! What has he done to you that you are wanting the poor thing dead? [They say,] “No, if it is out it will [still] die”. So let it die, if that is the Allah’s decision. Allah has appointed a date of death for everyone. If it dies after it exits the womb, that is by the order of Allah. You did not enter into sin.. If it dies outside [the womb], paradise is promised to you [parents]. Our Prophet SAW says, “Paradise is ordained for the one whose child dies.” But for those who kill their children, hell is ordained. “No, I did not really know, but a doctor told me.” That is not a doctor anymore, but a murderer.
May Allah show the right path to the doctors! Allah has bestowed a soul and life, how dare you take these rights away from an innocent baby? What has this child done to you, what fault has it committed? If disabled, then disabled—that is how Allah created it. “No, they say the baby will not survive.” So what, will you kill it? If Allah wishes, it will survive, and if He does not, then he will die. At least you will have saved yourself from a sin. These people we mention here, however, are far from Islam and humanity. They talk about humanity, human rights, later ruin here and there. They rally outside calling for human rights, but in fact they are those who do not give a person his rights. They do not value the creature. They do not have faith in Allah. Those who have faith in Allah
know the [proper] value of everything. Allah Almighty says, “Know the value of things. Do not waste. Do not defile. Islam is the religion of cleanliness.
It is not the fault of those people really, it is the fault of our Muslims. They call, “Doctor! Doctor!” [But] he is not a shaykh, not a teacher, not a scholar. These are the things Muslims should know of in the first place. This [i.e., murder] is the first of the kaba’ir (big sins) that is mentioned. The greatest sin is to kill another human. Sometimes a fight happens and one kills another one in the fight. But of this innocent human baby, the murderers are the parents. How did they put people into such a situation? All of this indicates that we are at the end of the End Days in which wrongdoing has reached its summit.
For every uphill, there is also a downhill. After this comes the Mahdi and he will give intelligence to those unintelligent people. Those who are heedless will have eaten each other up already before his arrival. This wrong cannot continue, it has reached its summit. They show black as white and bad as good. This is what the world is like now. The saying of the Prophet, “There will be two groups; the majority will be the bad ones.” The whole world is attacking the good. They do not want to leave a single good person on earth. They want to uproot the good.
These people, therefore, should not be deceived by these bad ones. One must be prudent; one must be together with good people. No need to focus on trivial things for the sake of dunyā; such a world does not exist. If you stay together with such people, you too will become dirtied. May Allah plant our feet firmly on the road of truth. May He grant wakefulness to our people and guidance. People do not consider most of what is haram; even the biggest harams do not bother them. Such things have become habits, not bothering them at all. What more can we say? May Allah send Mahdi A.S soon, so that cleanliness comes. Only he can clean the world from this filth. May Allah let us be beside him, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
71.STRUGGLE IN LIFE Wednesday, 25 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.
They call it struggle of life, not an easy thing, continuously there is something to do. Everyone should struggle to make it better. Of course, in life many different kinds of things happen, such as suffering, problems, accidents, calamities. Many things happen to people. As long as we are alive, life on earth is a place of testing. “Daru’l bala’, daru’l ibtila’.” Those who are prepared are the achievers. What is preparation? As our prophet Muhammed (sAw) said, “Preparation is possessing faith (iman).”
The man who possess faith earns merits for all that happens to him, and his station is elevated. Starting from the morning until the night, one is in a test. Little or greater, does not matter, but our Prophet Muhammed says, “For a mu’min (believer) all these things are recorded in the sight of Allah.” Whatever condition he might be in, such as suffering, illnesses--whatever comes upon a man, he will receive the merits. Nothing goes wasted. Waste pertains to those who do not have faith in Allah, who do not accept Allah. Whatever happens to them, there is no benefit to them. On the contrary the worst happens to them, because they think they can be saved by their own hands. Actually, if they have faith, it would be better for them, but this is not granted (nasip) to them.
Most of them on earth are disbelievers. Those who believe are the minority. For this we must be thanking Allah. When suffering occurs, and one is aware of the merits of it, one feels at ease and also his faith becomes stronger. May Allah increase our iman (faith in Allah), In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
72.THE NAFS’S (EGO’S) NATURE Sunday, 29 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 idhā an‘amnā ‘alā l-insāni a‘raḍa wa na’ā bi jānibihi, wa idhā massahu sh-sharru kāna ya’ūsā” (Qur’ān 17:83). Allah ‘azza wa jalla in the Quran says, “And when We bless man, he turns away, and withdraws aside; but when evil visits him, he is in despair.” This is the nature of people; this is the nature of people’s ego (nafs).
Allah ‘azza wa jalla sent this religion down for people to straighten themselves. He sent down the Prophets to show them the right path. When it is left to the nafs, no matter how much good you do for it, it will be ungrateful [and] stay away. It moves away from Allah ‘azza wa jalla. When there is some calamity, however, it will be in a state of hopelessness. This is the habit of an ordinary man. Human beings are ungrateful [and] hopeless, but Allah ‘azza wa jalla in order to give them hope showed them the straight path. So that they might not be ungrateful, Allah showed them the path of the Prophet Muhammad.
Don’t think that things happen because of yourself—they are from Allah! If Allah does not help, as we said, a man would be confused about what to do because of his hopelessness. He would do all kinds of stupidity out of hopelessness. After putting their trust in Allah, after leaning upon [relying upon] Allah, there is no hopelessness. Hopelessness is not a good thing.
“Lâ taqnaṭū,” says Allah ‘azza wa jall (Qur’ān 39:53). “Don’t be hopeless!” says Allah ‘azza wa jalla, He will help. After recognizing Allah, after worshipping Him, after entreating Allah, one has hopes [and] his affairs go well. Otherwise, in a small thing, no matter how much he brings together, how much he does, no matter what he has— no guarantee. Let us put our trust in Allah. Let him have us as one of those who obeys Him, so that their human lack is filled and they are cleansed, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
73.GRATITUDE IS OBLIGATORY Friday, 04 May 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.
To thank Allah is an obligation upon all of us, we ought to be grateful for everything. It is an obligation upon us to thank [Allah] for all His provision for us, because we cannot give enough gratitude even for a single provision. “We pray, we fast..” —but these are for your [own] interest. Allah is not in need of it. You should show gratitude.
We are to show gratitude for each breath we inhale, and for each exhalation we should also show gratitude. This does not cross the minds of even mentally normal people [today]. However, a Muslim should be more aware, [and] think about these things more. That is why we pray two cycles (raka’āt) of shukr prayer, the recommended prayer for gratitude. It counts as showing thanks to Allah. At no time are we to forget to thank Him. Grandsheikh used to tell us to pray two cycles of shukr prayer. He used to receive a piece of news and pray two cycles of shukr prayer right after hearing it. If not, he used to do a prostration (sajda) of gratitude. That also is a means of showing gratitude.

If you are not able to pray two cycles, you may instead do the prostration of gratitude. If you do not do either of these, then at least have in mind the gratitude towards Allah ‘azza wa jall. You may say it with your tongue. Gratitude increases provision (rizq). There is a lot of provision; everything that is from Allah is a provision. To show gratitude for them increases the person’s strength (qadir). There is gratitude and there is covering the truth. Those who do not show gratitude are the ones who cover the truth, there is no third possibility. People are used to not to being thankful and instead complain. This weakens their faith towards Allah and causes them not to fulfill their duty. What
happens when one does not fulfill his duty? Provision comes in a lesser measure, all goodness provided also lessens.
Spiritual provision is more important than material provision. A person has plenty of material provision, but [still] he suffers—this is because of his lack of gratitude. We need to make a habit of gratitude. We knew a man called Uncle Mehmet who passed away. After every two sentences, his next would be showing his gratitude. This is how one must be. This way one is relaxed, [and] he is then provided for here and hereafter.
May Allah put us amongst those who are grateful. Those who are grateful are from a higher station, exalted. May Allah make us one of them.

74.MAWLANA IS A STAR Monday, 7 May 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.
Shukr to Allāh, with Mawlānā's barakah, with his support, we gathered here again. With his support and love this meeting is happening. May his blessings be upon all of us, in shā’a Llāh. This way is the way of the Prophets. Since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām this has been the way. The Prophets, those who followed them, and people who believe them now, are keeping on this way. After Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām his son Shīth (Seth) ‘alayhi s-salām came. After him came Idrīs ‘alayhi s-salām, Nūḥ ‘alayhi s-salām, Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, Ismā‘īl ‘alayhi s- salām, Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām, Hārūn ‘alayhi s-salām. These Prophets came one after another until our Prophet. And after our Prophet it continued in the same manner – Awliyā’ continuing one after another.
How lucky are those who are with them. This matter is the matter of fate and favour. Who is favoured with it remains firm in their support. When Hārūn ‘alayhi s-salām came after Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām... Hārūn ‘alayhi s-salām passed away first. When ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām came, in order to keep this way going, only true believers remained on it. After our Prophet, in the same manner – some tribes went off the way. Sayyidinā Abū Bakr raḍī Allāhu ‘anhu fought with them. He protected the religion. This way, as we said, is the way of people who love Allāh and are beloved by Him. It is not the way of material benefit. Mawlānā told us throughout all his life: "This world is rubbish. Don't go after it. Follow me. Follow the way I am showing." And he always turned away from dunyā. Since the beginning, when he got rid of dunyā he reached Mawlā. Had he put dunyā as his purpose, he wouldn't have reached to these ranks.
Dunyā is low, it is vile. The further away you are from it, the higher you reach. Therefore, our coming here, our coming to his beautiful dergah, his grave and maqām, is a favour for all of us. It is a favour that Allāh made us firm on the way. And it is a sign of His pleasure. If it wasn't firm, we wouldn't come. We wouldn't even think or remember about it. But with His support, with His kindness and blessing, it is meant for us. Who could, came. Of course, not everyone can come every year. They come one year and skip two. They come two years and skip three. They still come. That's ok as long as their hearts are here. Not everyone can go to ḥajj. The same holds for here. Who has the ability comes. Who doesn't have the ability, comes some time later. As long as they are firm on the
inside, the body is not important. They should have pure hearts and intention. They should have pure intentions for Allāh, for the Prophet, for Mashāyikh. When the hearts are always with them, in shā’a Llāh they receive from the rewards of those who come. Because it is important for most, who can't come, to say, "If only I was there." They will get thawāb for their intention.
May Allāh make us firm. Because shayṭān is not standing still. He makes fitnah. He tries to show himself as right. He puts you in doubt, questioning your correctness. Therefore, may Allāh give us the power of īmān and persistence. May we not listen to shayṭān, In Sha Allah.
Alhamdulilah we are coming again for anniversary of Mawlānā. Mawlānā he is whole life following the way of Prophet and teaching of Prophet. Since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until our Prophet all Prophets is same teaching. What they are teaching? They are teaching good thing. First teaching to not be looking for material, for it is too clear, this for people... We have material and spiritual. The important thing – spiritual one. Material one also you can look but it is not teaching for to follow this. Material it will be finish but spiritual one it will be not dying. Material body dying but spiritual continuing. And this is what it is important. To improve our spiritual – this is what whole Prophets since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until Prophet and after awliyā’u Llāh, mashāyikh, they was teaching until Mawlānā Shaykh also.
Mawlānā Shaykh he was special. We cannot find, maybe hundred year you cannot find such holy and great awliyā’u Llāh. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh that he is humble. And he was teaching us every goodness. The first one – humbleness, to be with each, everybody and not looking for protocol, not looking for people who are only for high class people. Each, every kind of people he was looking because he knowing this is creature from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Not looking for their outside. Only looking for inside. Which one coming, he accept him and he treat him very good, very soft, and very mercy. Mercy to make him to come to way of light. Second thing, not looking for collecting for dunyā, no. It is, it was not his aim. His aim to look for ākhirah. But if they was bring for him, also he was not interesting. Distributing for people also. Here very important thing – for not to use his for dunyā, for material, to be look for benefit from anybody – "this he is rich man, maybe I can get benefit from him." This is never Mawlānā's thinking. It was and it is for example for his murīd and for other people also.
He was star, Alhamdulilah, like Prophet what he said for his companions. He is also same – you can follow him and you will be find good way. And for this we are saying Alhamdulilah. Many people here can attending for his this blessed event because this event... he is leave this world but he is bodily... he leave his world. As we said, his body died but his spiritual spirit soul still looking and going more stronger for around this world for his follower and for who are they are not his follower. And we are thanking
Allāh we are not going away from his way. We are strongly staying there. This not from ourself – from His mercy, His blessed, because many people, not many people, some people unfortunately their foot it is not very strong there. Some of them run away, some of them claiming something. It is not important.
The important for us, for people, who are coming here and who are not coming here but they are also like to be here, Allāh reward them also – because here, of course if everybody coming here, we whole Lefke not enough for them. So one year this people coming, other year others, other year other people. Who are not coming it is good for them and the intention also good. Allāh reward them for their intention also and Allāh reward you for your coming here for give your love for your murshid Mawlānā Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’ Shaykh Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Allāh bless his soul and he keep us under his way. And this is there is fitnah around for people. From shayṭān this fitnah from shayṭān. Not shayṭān not happy even to be two people together. He like them to be to separate, split.
So Alhamdulilah we are thanking Allāh and asking to be together in this way. Of course we are knowing nobody can fill his place but his order and Allāh life, life law – hayat kanunu – rules of life. So we must be in this way. In Sha Allah, Mawlānā he was saying about Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām: each day we are feeling really very strongly it is coming more near and more near because there is more oppression for Muslim, for believer more and more. Each day it coming more. Even time of Namrūd, time of Fir‘awn not, it was not like this. So, In Sha Allah, it is very near what Mawlānā Shaykh said. In Sha Allah we, with his bless, we be with Sayyidinā Mahdī and Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
75.EVERYTHING COMES FROM ALLAH Tuesday, 8 May 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.
A Muslim man or any person following any ṭarīqah should know the adab of Islām and the adab of ṭarīqah. The adab of Islām is a bit lighter. A person belonging to ṭarīqah should keep to the boundaries of adab and pay attention to adab. They should know everything comes from Allāh. They shouldn't let Allāh out of their heart. Dhikru Llāh means to remember Allāh for twenty four hours. Whatever happens, a man should say it is the will of Allāh and accept it, be pleased and satisfied with it – the man in ṭarīqah.
Of course, ṭarīqahs are not like before. In old times it was much harder. Now as it is the end of times, it is lighter. It is as much as a person can bear. It can be done now too. The old Mashāyikh used to tell murīds, a person who gives you gold should be the same as the person who hits you on your neck. You should think both came from Allāh and be neither happy, nor upset. You shouldn't have feelings for the men, you shouldn't hate them. Of course you should thank the other one. You should think that both things came from Allāh. People nowadays cannot carry this. People get annoyed even by words. And matters like getting hit, they cannot stand it. Yet they should remember Allāh. Allāh should always be in our hearts as much as possible. Whatever happens and you get upset, remember directly it is from Allāh. Your sadness will become lighter then. When you are needy, say, "There is Allāh. Allah is testing us. This trouble will go too." Because you know it comes from somewhere bigger. It's not for nothing.
If you know that your rank and rewards will increase, it will be easier and you'll be content. Otherwise, when you don't know, you keep mumbling, "How did this happen? Where did this trouble come from? Where did this problem come from?" To know Allāh and to be with Allāh is the biggest favour, is the biggest goodness. All troubles will go away. You'll be in peace, always in peace. "Allāh is with me. Allāh is seeing me." We are always together with Allāh. Allāh is with us for twenty four hours. If you think so, you will be relaxed then. If you don't think so, you will spend your life in regret. You'll be mumbling, "If only I did this. If only I did that. If only this and that happened," and die at last with all your life spent in troubles. Therefore, a man is in peace in this world when he remembers Allāh and doesn't let Allāh out of his heart.Everything we are in this life, we must know Allāh He is by His will we are in this life. Many times people they are
complaining, every people, but for ṭarīqah people, for Muslim and especially for ṭarīqah people to be respect and good behave – good behave it is first order, adab, good behave. Adab for ṭarīqah people you must keep respect and adab with Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and with other people also. Everything it is from Him. This is adab for people to know what happen, it is coming from Him. And to remember this you must make remembrance of Allāh twenty four hour per day every day. You must put Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla in your heart. Don't go without thinking, "Our Lord is in our heart."
Dhikr, meaning to remember meaning and when you do this twenty four hour you making you like you are doing dhikr. Because you are remembering Allāh and He – you know He is with you. Everything you done it will be better. This for ṭarīqah people: it is very important good behave and to know everything coming from Allāh. This was a old time mashāyikh was teaching their murīd. Old time they was more strict than this day but now the end of time. It is okay like this because people even if they said in "we are in ṭarīqah" it is enough for them. Because many they are attacking reality and attacking ṭarīqah, attacking way of Prophet, so we are – only if you say you are in ṭarīqah it is okay also.
But in ṭarīqah you must learn adab, good behave. And good behave it is was, as we said, in old time very strict in ṭarīqah – to how to acting, how to coming, how to going, through for mosque, for Shaykh, for Murshid, and for how you must dress, what you will eat, what you will do. All this was very strict and especially for making between people also. They was saying, if somebody giving you gold coin and other one hitting you, slapping you in your neck, you mustn't be angry for this and you mustn't be happy with other. You must thanking of course but not be angry for other because both coming from Allāh, from our Lord. This acting this people – Allāh send them for you – same. This is for highest thing for murīd to if he can do this. Is very difficult to do especially this time nobody can do this. So but also just to saying how it was before and also you can take idea to be thinking about this also.
Everything coming from Allāh. If you think like this your life it will be more easy, more happy. Because many people complaining, "Oh from where this coming this problem for me?" And other, "From where coming this?" Anxious, this stress coming for you from where this coming? If you know this coming from your Lord, you will be quiet and you be accepted and you will be happy because you know when Allāh sending something for this like this He make you give reward for what He send for you. If when for in ākhirah, you said if you wish to have more than this difficult in your life to get more reward from Allāh.
So this is for believer and ṭarīqah people making our life more easier. Every time remember when you have something difficult, something you are not happy with this, you remember your Lord. You said, "Allāh Alhamdulilah it is from You and we are
happy with are give us. We are happy from Your mercy. We are happy from what You what You send. Everything we are happy with this." This is happiness for believer, for mu’min. But other who are they don't have belief, whole life taking pills, going to psychiatry. Going to psychiatry they are every day they have problem, whole life problem and then nothing.
So, Alhamdulilah, we are, Allāh make us believer but we must remember this. For this ṣuḥbah for this to remember everybody. Our Lord, In Sha Allah, Allāh give us all happiness, In Sha Allah, no imtiḥān (test).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
76.ASK FOR FORGIVENESS Thursday, 10 May 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 – at the end of times there will be calamities of rain and children will be disobedient. It says, "Al-maṭaru qayẓan wa l-waladu ghayẓan." It is ḥadīth sharīf. We are living at the end of times. Both rain and snow, everything is in the hands of Allāh. The rain will be sent according to the state of people. And it is raining as a calamity, floods are taking everything. Everywhere is being destroyed. Sometimes people are dying. Sometimes there are big losses. And children are born disobedient, not obedient to their parents. This is the situation.
Why is it happening? Because people deserve it. We should pray to Allāh and ask for rain. They say rain falls by itself, things happen by themselves and mislead people by teaching this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying in Qur’ān, "Faqultu staghfirū Rabbakum innahu kāna ghaffāran" (71:10). Make tawbah, ask forgiveness from Allāh, as Allāh is forgiving. He forgives maximally. Whatever you do, when you say "tawbah astaghfiru Llāh", He accepts your repentance. Then what happens next; "Yursili s-samā’a ‘alaykum midrāran wa- yumdidkum bi-amwālin wa banīna wa yaj‘al lakum jannātin wa yaj‘al lakum anhāran. ( 71:11, 12 )"Allah sends you good rain, good provision, and good children. Then He Allāh gives you beautiful gardens and paradise both in dunyā and ākhirah. How will all this happen? When you are obedient to Allāh.
If we made a mistake, we should repent. Thus Allāh turns that catastrophe into relief. For example, there was a calamity a couple of days ago. Nothing is left in one area here in Cyprus – not trees, not bushes, not vegetables. It hailed heavily. It was coming here too. We were inspired and started making tawbah and shukr to Allāh, and it turned into rain. And it watered the land well. If you decided to water like that, you wouldn't be able to finish in five days. It is not a miracle or anything. When you carry out Allāh's order, Allāh's promise happens immediately. So make tawbah before such calamity comes. They say a flood came and took people away. They don't think of the mistakes they made and to make tawbah. We make tawbah for sins we made so that Allāh forgives and shows mercy to us. And the rains are important.
More important is what our Prophet said: good children. We should always be in repentance for them not to be bad. We have to ask forgiveness from Allāh. Allāh is saying it openly to everyone, not just for one section. If everyone does it, they will deserve these good things. And if you don't do, catastrophe will reach you. They hide in cars to be saved. Even cars are smashed. In five minutes, Allāh leaves no building, no window, no car, no tree. Make tawbah. If you don't make tawbah, stones will fall down on you. May Allāh not let it happen. May Allāh protect from calamities. We always ask for forgiveness from Allāh, In Sha Allah.
This time it is end time. Prophet he saying when this time coming, approaching for Judgement Day, end of human being life. The human being they thought there is one billion year, three billion year for this global to finish, to it will, after it will be nothing on it. No it is not like this. Our life for human being it is there limit time and we are coming to end of this time. We have another life, Alhamdulilah, they are forever. But for this life, it is short and for dunyā also it is short. And when the end of time coming, Prophet saying, "Yakūnu l- maṭaru qayẓan wa l-waladu ghayẓan" – meaning the rain become like disaster and the children unobedient, not good people. This is for our time and it is like this. You cannot imagine how the even small children they become, like teaching them in this bad thing – like shayṭān, like devil. And the rain, when it's coming rain, not sweet rain, flood everywhere. Everywhere destroying, dying many people. You hear this country maybe twenty people died from flood. Other – two people, other – two hundred people. You hear like this.
But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He give also how to be protected from this. He said from Sūrat Nūḥ "Faqultu staghfirū Rabbakum innahu kāna ghaffāran" (71:10). Nūḥ said: "I said to make for asking for forgiveness from Allāh." He is the most extreme forgiving. He is, He forgive everything. When He forgive everything what will happen? Maybe people they say we are not feeling anything. "Yursili s-samā’a ‘alaykum midrāran" (71:11). He said He will send rain, very good rain for you, not disaster, not bad rain, not flood – nice rain. After, "Yumdidkum bi-amwālin wa-banīna" (71:12). And He will give you fortune and He will give you children, good children. Wa yaj‘al lakum jannāti wa-yaj‘al lakum anhārā (71:12) . And rivers. This is what in this dunyā for, if you ask for forgiveness.
And, Alhamdulilah, before two, three days, there was heavy rain here and it was ice, like big big ice and storm and I was after breakfast seeing coming on trees. Allāh He make us to remember this and ask for "astaghfiru Llāh astaghfiru Llāh astaghfiru Llāh" until after one minute be changing to rain, very nice rain. All this area it was raining very nice everywhere. You feel if you give three days water cannot be like this. But there is one, maybe ten or fifteen kilometer from here, this people they are never remembering anything and whole area they crush their grapes and vegetable – everything finish there. You cannot find even one. And it is not miracle. No. It just we obeying what Allāh He saying.
They saying ask for forgiveness. We ask for forgiveness not – everybody can do this. No need to be Shaykh, no need to be ‘ālim scholar. Only ask He said and He promise He will be do this. And that what happen – no miracle. No. From us or just must remember this. And for also, the most important, children, our children. So you must be ask for forgiveness every time from Allāh and He is happy with us He change. Even in this time can be your place good, your children also safe, obedient good people, acceptable people in Divinely Presence and good for people also.
So it is big favour to remember and to ask forgiveness. Everything, if any difficult happen, ask for forgiveness – astaghfiru Llāh astaghfiru Llāh astaghfiru Llāh Thank you.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
77.RAMADAN THE MOST HAPPY MONTH Friday, 11 May 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wa
Link: https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5509
haykh Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī – the one who accepts and wants Ḥaqq. Therefore, it wasn't by his wish. That name was given to him and until Qiyāmah it is his name, just like other mashāyikh who have different names. And we have to keep Mawlānā's name as Shaykh Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. It has its wisdom. Who gave this name know what kind of name it is. We won't change this name because this one or that one said something. We can't change it unless he himself changes it. And he didn't change it. He had lived with this name for 40 years. We have to accept it and not make him upset. "
"Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqqi wa tawāṣaw biṣ-ṣabr" (103:3). "And then advise patience to each other." The result of patience is good. It's not easy to bear something. It's not easy for people to bear problems, sorrow, evil and wrong actions. But it is a means to join the group beloved by Allāh. We should be patient for this reason. We have to be tolerant. It is the test of this world. No need to argue and fight with people. An impatient person is always upset. He makes more harm for himself. The outcome of patience is peace. They say it is bitter but its fruit is sweet.
May Allāh let us use this advice and be in the group mentioned by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, In Sha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is giving us advice in Qur’ān whole verses, very nice big verses, big Sūrah, small Sūrah. All of them very valuable. They are whole like most precious jewel. They are even sometimes, small one maybe people they not caring, reading quickly. One of them this Sūratu l-‘Aṣr Allāh swear on time or ‘Aṣr – whole human being they are losers, they are loser. Only acceptable – accept people who are believe on Allāh – “illa lladhīna āmanū wa ‘amilu ṣ-ṣāliḥāt" (103:3) and they make good deed. Good deed what it is? First worship what Allāh order us to worship, what His order to make praying, fasting, if you have enough money to go to pilgrimage, to ḥajj, and to give zakāt if you have money. Also this is worshipping this is salihat.
Because in this world majority they are loser. The non-believer – first loser because they are not believer. But even if who are believer they are not practicing, also they will lose what Allāh grant them – this favour to give them for each thing they are doing, ten times, hundred times, thousand times. Because they are not doing this also they are loser. Only who are doing what He is order, they are winner. Maybe he has now any thing on his but he is winner. Maybe there is people they have half of country, they are loser because they are not in this way. This is first.
Second one: "Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqq" (103:3), to accept truth. Ḥaqq means truth. Truth – we must accept for give everybody's right. What his right, you accept right of Allāh, right of Prophet, to each people what their ḥaqq. Don't take their rights, their thing – this is ḥaqq meaning. "Wa tawāṣaw bi l-ḥaqq" (103:3). It is very important to be not be loser. And, Sub Han Allah, Mawlānā Shaykh he is name in between awliyā’ – Al-Ḥaqqānī. What meaning? He is the defender of or he is following ḥaqq. He is with ḥaqq all time. And this was given for him, I remember, before forty years ago. I was in Tripoli Libanon. Tripoli blessed city, nice city. Mawlānā was like it. And he come, he was that time going, coming from Damascus each, every fifteen days. He is going and coming and one murīd they coming say – I was in... I wasn't there but the people coming and saying to me Mawlānā was saying, you know what is today they give him name.
They give him Al-Ḥaqqānī. Al-Ḥaqqānī very high rank for Mawlānā and he was happy with this because he is all time he is with ḥaqq. Ḥaqq also Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla so he is belong to Ḥaqq. Ḥaqq with him all time. Forty years he was, until his... and, in shā’a Llāh, for until Qiyāmah, until forever also Ḥaqqānī, he is Ḥaqqānī. When they give him this name they are knowing. No anybody can change this name for him if he not want and he didn't want. Whole his life he was carrying this and it is... we are inherit for us. We are must his will, accept his will. Not saying against this. Who take this, it will be problem for him. For this he is happy with this. In shā’a Llāh nobody can, no need for any change for this name and not make – sometimes people making problem with this name – so no need for this. Only accept for awliyā’u Llāh, Prophet, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, giving him this name and he was happy. They are not playing – "we can change, give you today this, tomorrow that." No this for awliyā’ – special like Mawlānā cannot change but for other, they can change. For what they are doing maybe can change but for Mawlānā cannot. So, Alhamdulilah, we are happy with this name and it is mention everywhere.
It is good thing to do for people to accept Ḥaqq, to accept truth, to give everybody his right. This is Mawlana's mission. He was doing this, until now he is doing also from spiritual world also. "Wa tawāṣaw bil-ḥaqqi wa tawāṣaw biṣ-ṣabr" (103:3), and to be patient; to say it for each other to be patient. Because patient it is good thing but it is difficult. And this time people they are most of them impatient. They are not patient and they want quickly everything to happen. Not patient for other people also. But it is, when you are not patient you have many problem. If you are patient you will be safe. And they said patient it is bitter. Bitter but fruit it is sweet. If you be patient at the end you find nice thing. But if you not patient, all time you will be problem and first problem for yourself. You hurt yourself with your anger and impatience. Allāh give us, In Sha Allah, to be with this people, the winner, In Sha Allah, here and hereafter.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
69.LET ALLAH MAKE THE CHOICE Wednesday, 18 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 Muhammad says: “What is good and beneficial (khayr) for me, you choose, you do, for us.” What is good or bad for us we do not know. Often what we consider good turns out to be bad, [and] what we consider to be bad for us turns out to be good. That is the reason why the Prophet Muhammad used to make this prayer. We should do this prayer more often.
“Allahumma khir lī wa-khtar lī,”
Let Allah make the choice, let Him give the good, choose the good, because many ways appear, issues come, to a person, [and] he becomes confused. Not to be confused he should trust and leave his affair to Allah and pray so that good comes and bad keeps away. In the End Times there is also a lot more of these things. What they think is good turns out bad; people are being deceived. One goes after a thing without knowledge of what it is. One leaves the good [and] instead follows an affair or a man that is wrong. These things are more widespread in our times.
The wicked ones play with people’s minds to cheat them. They make haram earning by playing with the labor of others. Therefore so as not to be deceived by others, we need to seek Refuge in Allah ‘azza wa jall. We need to trust Him and leave matters to Him. This is our prayer, In Sha Allah. Let Him show us what is beneficial (khayr); let Him show us the good, insha’Allah. We might be deceived, confused, therefore let’s plead to Allah that He not confuse us. Let’s choose the right, be with those who are right. Let us continue on the right path, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
70.OPPRESSION HAS REACHED ITS SUMMIT Friday, 20 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.
Indeed we have come to the End Days. We are to thank Allah for being created in these times, because Allah creates in the time He wishes. Those who are created in these days, and who are on the path of truth, are the best of the “traders”. Our prophet says: Man tamassaka bisunnatī ‘anda fasād ummatī falahu ajru mi’āti shahīd.
In this time the ummah is corrupted. Fasad means corruption. This is the time, the time where everything is upside down. This time is the time where filth is accepted as clean. This is the short way of describing this situation. In these times, whatever filth or disgusting thing there is, they have people eat or drink it, or clothe them in it—while people are agreeing this with pleasure! What Allah has said [to do or to believe] is relegated to the past. These orders do not even cross the minds of Muslims.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Walā tuqtulū n- nafsa llatī ḥarrama Llahu illa bilḥaqq (17:33) “Do not kill a son of man; his life is given by Allah.” Only when it is justified. What does he deserve? If one kills the other, the penalty is death. At the present time, as we already said, they make bad appear as good, [and thus] there is no death penalty for a murderer. Even if he kills hundreds of times, [only] a lifelong sentence is given. These laws are the laws of Satan. They are applied everywhere compulsorily. Of course, people do not abide by them voluntarily—this is not the point, what we are trying to explain is the situation of the End Days, not dispute about the laws.
Perverts and murderers act in filthy ways, then destroy the children and youth. Be it a child or a woman, whoever it is, this is forbidden, but nothing is done against this man. Allah creates a man in his at a spot in his mother’s womb, then calls it a mudra. What is a mudra? Size of a morsel. Later bones develop and so an. On the fortieth day, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives him a soul. Before that he has no soul. Forty days later the soul enters the body. He waits there for forty days, [and] after forty days he has life and is a human being. He is an unguarded being in his mother’s womb, depending on his mother. As they say, she is carrying a soul. When a human gives birth, it is said life comes
from life. By “life” they mean “the soul”. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla puts three sets of walls in the womb of a mother. Until a child is born, it stays where it is.
Now these Satans have invented an instrument. Before, there was an x-ray, [and] they used x-rays out of their stupidity. They later realized x-rays themselves cause harm, such as making the baby disabled. They then decided not to use x-rays. Now they use ultrasound to do the same scanning. They direct the ultrasound on an area [and] then an image appears letting them see what they want. In fact, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla closed this area and left in darkness. They will find out what there is there after the birth. The people of the End Days are impatient. In order for them to commit more errors, Satan has the people go to these doctors.
The doctor just looks and says to himself, “Uh oh, this one looks disabled. Well, what can we do? This is how Allah must have wanted it.” [Translator’s Commentary: That is as if falsely to say that it is Allah’s fault; he must have wanted us to terminate the pregnancy.] No! What are you going to do about it? [Translator’s Commentary: What business is it of yours?] Are you going to take burden on yourself? It will burden you all your life. What shall we do? Shall we send this to the other world before it is born? That is murder. But the murderer is not given the death penalty, because such a penalty is not legally permissible. It is not permissible anywhere in Europe. Already they are with the bad, not with the good; they are with Satan. We, too, now have been drawn into this filth, since they pump and pump continuously their dirt.
This is just a baby, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Do not kill.” He says kill only the one who deserves death. What has this baby done to you? This baby’s feet have not yet touched the ground! What has he done to you that you are wanting the poor thing dead? [They say,] “No, if it is out it will [still] die”. So let it die, if that is the Allah’s decision. Allah has appointed a date of death for everyone. If it dies after it exits the womb, that is by the order of Allah. You did not enter into sin.. If it dies outside [the womb], paradise is promised to you [parents]. Our Prophet SAW says, “Paradise is ordained for the one whose child dies.” But for those who kill their children, hell is ordained. “No, I did not really know, but a doctor told me.” That is not a doctor anymore, but a murderer.
May Allah show the right path to the doctors! Allah has bestowed a soul and life, how dare you take these rights away from an innocent baby? What has this child done to you, what fault has it committed? If disabled, then disabled—that is how Allah created it. “No, they say the baby will not survive.” So what, will you kill it? If Allah wishes, it will survive, and if He does not, then he will die. At least you will have saved yourself from a sin. These people we mention here, however, are far from Islam and humanity. They talk about humanity, human rights, later ruin here and there. They rally outside calling for human rights, but in fact they are those who do not give a person his rights. They do not value the creature. They do not have faith in Allah. Those who have faith in Allah
know the [proper] value of everything. Allah Almighty says, “Know the value of things. Do not waste. Do not defile. Islam is the religion of cleanliness.
It is not the fault of those people really, it is the fault of our Muslims. They call, “Doctor! Doctor!” [But] he is not a shaykh, not a teacher, not a scholar. These are the things Muslims should know of in the first place. This [i.e., murder] is the first of the kaba’ir (big sins) that is mentioned. The greatest sin is to kill another human. Sometimes a fight happens and one kills another one in the fight. But of this innocent human baby, the murderers are the parents. How did they put people into such a situation? All of this indicates that we are at the end of the End Days in which wrongdoing has reached its summit.
For every uphill, there is also a downhill. After this comes the Mahdi and he will give intelligence to those unintelligent people. Those who are heedless will have eaten each other up already before his arrival. This wrong cannot continue, it has reached its summit. They show black as white and bad as good. This is what the world is like now. The saying of the Prophet, “There will be two groups; the majority will be the bad ones.” The whole world is attacking the good. They do not want to leave a single good person on earth. They want to uproot the good.
These people, therefore, should not be deceived by these bad ones. One must be prudent; one must be together with good people. No need to focus on trivial things for the sake of dunyā; such a world does not exist. If you stay together with such people, you too will become dirtied. May Allah plant our feet firmly on the road of truth. May He grant wakefulness to our people and guidance. People do not consider most of what is haram; even the biggest harams do not bother them. Such things have become habits, not bothering them at all. What more can we say? May Allah send Mahdi A.S soon, so that cleanliness comes. Only he can clean the world from this filth. May Allah let us be beside him, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
71.STRUGGLE IN LIFE Wednesday, 25 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.
They call it struggle of life, not an easy thing, continuously there is something to do. Everyone should struggle to make it better. Of course, in life many different kinds of things happen, such as suffering, problems, accidents, calamities. Many things happen to people. As long as we are alive, life on earth is a place of testing. “Daru’l bala’, daru’l ibtila’.” Those who are prepared are the achievers. What is preparation? As our prophet Muhammed (sAw) said, “Preparation is possessing faith (iman).”
The man who possess faith earns merits for all that happens to him, and his station is elevated. Starting from the morning until the night, one is in a test. Little or greater, does not matter, but our Prophet Muhammed says, “For a mu’min (believer) all these things are recorded in the sight of Allah.” Whatever condition he might be in, such as suffering, illnesses--whatever comes upon a man, he will receive the merits. Nothing goes wasted. Waste pertains to those who do not have faith in Allah, who do not accept Allah. Whatever happens to them, there is no benefit to them. On the contrary the worst happens to them, because they think they can be saved by their own hands. Actually, if they have faith, it would be better for them, but this is not granted (nasip) to them.
Most of them on earth are disbelievers. Those who believe are the minority. For this we must be thanking Allah. When suffering occurs, and one is aware of the merits of it, one feels at ease and also his faith becomes stronger. May Allah increase our iman (faith in Allah), In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
72.THE NAFS’S (EGO’S) NATURE Sunday, 29 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 idhā an‘amnā ‘alā l-insāni a‘raḍa wa na’ā bi jānibihi, wa idhā massahu sh-sharru kāna ya’ūsā” (Qur’ān 17:83). Allah ‘azza wa jalla in the Quran says, “And when We bless man, he turns away, and withdraws aside; but when evil visits him, he is in despair.” This is the nature of people; this is the nature of people’s ego (nafs).
Allah ‘azza wa jalla sent this religion down for people to straighten themselves. He sent down the Prophets to show them the right path. When it is left to the nafs, no matter how much good you do for it, it will be ungrateful [and] stay away. It moves away from Allah ‘azza wa jalla. When there is some calamity, however, it will be in a state of hopelessness. This is the habit of an ordinary man. Human beings are ungrateful [and] hopeless, but Allah ‘azza wa jalla in order to give them hope showed them the straight path. So that they might not be ungrateful, Allah showed them the path of the Prophet Muhammad.
Don’t think that things happen because of yourself—they are from Allah! If Allah does not help, as we said, a man would be confused about what to do because of his hopelessness. He would do all kinds of stupidity out of hopelessness. After putting their trust in Allah, after leaning upon [relying upon] Allah, there is no hopelessness. Hopelessness is not a good thing.
“Lâ taqnaṭū,” says Allah ‘azza wa jall (Qur’ān 39:53). “Don’t be hopeless!” says Allah ‘azza wa jalla, He will help. After recognizing Allah, after worshipping Him, after entreating Allah, one has hopes [and] his affairs go well. Otherwise, in a small thing, no matter how much he brings together, how much he does, no matter what he has— no guarantee. Let us put our trust in Allah. Let him have us as one of those who obeys Him, so that their human lack is filled and they are cleansed, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
73.GRATITUDE IS OBLIGATORY Friday, 04 May 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.
To thank Allah is an obligation upon all of us, we ought to be grateful for everything. It is an obligation upon us to thank [Allah] for all His provision for us, because we cannot give enough gratitude even for a single provision. “We pray, we fast..” —but these are for your [own] interest. Allah is not in need of it. You should show gratitude.
We are to show gratitude for each breath we inhale, and for each exhalation we should also show gratitude. This does not cross the minds of even mentally normal people [today]. However, a Muslim should be more aware, [and] think about these things more. That is why we pray two cycles (raka’āt) of shukr prayer, the recommended prayer for gratitude. It counts as showing thanks to Allah. At no time are we to forget to thank Him. Grandsheikh used to tell us to pray two cycles of shukr prayer. He used to receive a piece of news and pray two cycles of shukr prayer right after hearing it. If not, he used to do a prostration (sajda) of gratitude. That also is a means of showing gratitude.

If you are not able to pray two cycles, you may instead do the prostration of gratitude. If you do not do either of these, then at least have in mind the gratitude towards Allah ‘azza wa jall. You may say it with your tongue. Gratitude increases provision (rizq). There is a lot of provision; everything that is from Allah is a provision. To show gratitude for them increases the person’s strength (qadir). There is gratitude and there is covering the truth. Those who do not show gratitude are the ones who cover the truth, there is no third possibility. People are used to not to being thankful and instead complain. This weakens their faith towards Allah and causes them not to fulfill their duty. What
happens when one does not fulfill his duty? Provision comes in a lesser measure, all goodness provided also lessens.
Spiritual provision is more important than material provision. A person has plenty of material provision, but [still] he suffers—this is because of his lack of gratitude. We need to make a habit of gratitude. We knew a man called Uncle Mehmet who passed away. After every two sentences, his next would be showing his gratitude. This is how one must be. This way one is relaxed, [and] he is then provided for here and hereafter.
May Allah put us amongst those who are grateful. Those who are grateful are from a higher station, exalted. May Allah make us one of them.

74.MAWLANA IS A STAR Monday, 7 May 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.
Shukr to Allāh, with Mawlānā's barakah, with his support, we gathered here again. With his support and love this meeting is happening. May his blessings be upon all of us, in shā’a Llāh. This way is the way of the Prophets. Since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām this has been the way. The Prophets, those who followed them, and people who believe them now, are keeping on this way. After Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām his son Shīth (Seth) ‘alayhi s-salām came. After him came Idrīs ‘alayhi s-salām, Nūḥ ‘alayhi s-salām, Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, Ismā‘īl ‘alayhi s- salām, Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām, Hārūn ‘alayhi s-salām. These Prophets came one after another until our Prophet. And after our Prophet it continued in the same manner – Awliyā’ continuing one after another.
How lucky are those who are with them. This matter is the matter of fate and favour. Who is favoured with it remains firm in their support. When Hārūn ‘alayhi s-salām came after Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām... Hārūn ‘alayhi s-salām passed away first. When ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām came, in order to keep this way going, only true believers remained on it. After our Prophet, in the same manner – some tribes went off the way. Sayyidinā Abū Bakr raḍī Allāhu ‘anhu fought with them. He protected the religion. This way, as we said, is the way of people who love Allāh and are beloved by Him. It is not the way of material benefit. Mawlānā told us throughout all his life: "This world is rubbish. Don't go after it. Follow me. Follow the way I am showing." And he always turned away from dunyā. Since the beginning, when he got rid of dunyā he reached Mawlā. Had he put dunyā as his purpose, he wouldn't have reached to these ranks.
Dunyā is low, it is vile. The further away you are from it, the higher you reach. Therefore, our coming here, our coming to his beautiful dergah, his grave and maqām, is a favour for all of us. It is a favour that Allāh made us firm on the way. And it is a sign of His pleasure. If it wasn't firm, we wouldn't come. We wouldn't even think or remember about it. But with His support, with His kindness and blessing, it is meant for us. Who could, came. Of course, not everyone can come every year. They come one year and skip two. They come two years and skip three. They still come. That's ok as long as their hearts are here. Not everyone can go to ḥajj. The same holds for here. Who has the ability comes. Who doesn't have the ability, comes some time later. As long as they are firm on the
inside, the body is not important. They should have pure hearts and intention. They should have pure intentions for Allāh, for the Prophet, for Mashāyikh. When the hearts are always with them, in shā’a Llāh they receive from the rewards of those who come. Because it is important for most, who can't come, to say, "If only I was there." They will get thawāb for their intention.
May Allāh make us firm. Because shayṭān is not standing still. He makes fitnah. He tries to show himself as right. He puts you in doubt, questioning your correctness. Therefore, may Allāh give us the power of īmān and persistence. May we not listen to shayṭān, In Sha Allah.
Alhamdulilah we are coming again for anniversary of Mawlānā. Mawlānā he is whole life following the way of Prophet and teaching of Prophet. Since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until our Prophet all Prophets is same teaching. What they are teaching? They are teaching good thing. First teaching to not be looking for material, for it is too clear, this for people... We have material and spiritual. The important thing – spiritual one. Material one also you can look but it is not teaching for to follow this. Material it will be finish but spiritual one it will be not dying. Material body dying but spiritual continuing. And this is what it is important. To improve our spiritual – this is what whole Prophets since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until Prophet and after awliyā’u Llāh, mashāyikh, they was teaching until Mawlānā Shaykh also.
Mawlānā Shaykh he was special. We cannot find, maybe hundred year you cannot find such holy and great awliyā’u Llāh. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh that he is humble. And he was teaching us every goodness. The first one – humbleness, to be with each, everybody and not looking for protocol, not looking for people who are only for high class people. Each, every kind of people he was looking because he knowing this is creature from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Not looking for their outside. Only looking for inside. Which one coming, he accept him and he treat him very good, very soft, and very mercy. Mercy to make him to come to way of light. Second thing, not looking for collecting for dunyā, no. It is, it was not his aim. His aim to look for ākhirah. But if they was bring for him, also he was not interesting. Distributing for people also. Here very important thing – for not to use his for dunyā, for material, to be look for benefit from anybody – "this he is rich man, maybe I can get benefit from him." This is never Mawlānā's thinking. It was and it is for example for his murīd and for other people also.
He was star, Alhamdulilah, like Prophet what he said for his companions. He is also same – you can follow him and you will be find good way. And for this we are saying Alhamdulilah. Many people here can attending for his this blessed event because this event... he is leave this world but he is bodily... he leave his world. As we said, his body died but his spiritual spirit soul still looking and going more stronger for around this world for his follower and for who are they are not his follower. And we are thanking
Allāh we are not going away from his way. We are strongly staying there. This not from ourself – from His mercy, His blessed, because many people, not many people, some people unfortunately their foot it is not very strong there. Some of them run away, some of them claiming something. It is not important.
The important for us, for people, who are coming here and who are not coming here but they are also like to be here, Allāh reward them also – because here, of course if everybody coming here, we whole Lefke not enough for them. So one year this people coming, other year others, other year other people. Who are not coming it is good for them and the intention also good. Allāh reward them for their intention also and Allāh reward you for your coming here for give your love for your murshid Mawlānā Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’ Shaykh Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Allāh bless his soul and he keep us under his way. And this is there is fitnah around for people. From shayṭān this fitnah from shayṭān. Not shayṭān not happy even to be two people together. He like them to be to separate, split.
So Alhamdulilah we are thanking Allāh and asking to be together in this way. Of course we are knowing nobody can fill his place but his order and Allāh life, life law – hayat kanunu – rules of life. So we must be in this way. In Sha Allah, Mawlānā he was saying about Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām: each day we are feeling really very strongly it is coming more near and more near because there is more oppression for Muslim, for believer more and more. Each day it coming more. Even time of Namrūd, time of Fir‘awn not, it was not like this. So, In Sha Allah, it is very near what Mawlānā Shaykh said. In Sha Allah we, with his bless, we be with Sayyidinā Mahdī and Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
75.EVERYTHING COMES FROM ALLAH Tuesday, 8 May 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.
A Muslim man or any person following any ṭarīqah should know the adab of Islām and the adab of ṭarīqah. The adab of Islām is a bit lighter. A person belonging to ṭarīqah should keep to the boundaries of adab and pay attention to adab. They should know everything comes from Allāh. They shouldn't let Allāh out of their heart. Dhikru Llāh means to remember Allāh for twenty four hours. Whatever happens, a man should say it is the will of Allāh and accept it, be pleased and satisfied with it – the man in ṭarīqah.
Of course, ṭarīqahs are not like before. In old times it was much harder. Now as it is the end of times, it is lighter. It is as much as a person can bear. It can be done now too. The old Mashāyikh used to tell murīds, a person who gives you gold should be the same as the person who hits you on your neck. You should think both came from Allāh and be neither happy, nor upset. You shouldn't have feelings for the men, you shouldn't hate them. Of course you should thank the other one. You should think that both things came from Allāh. People nowadays cannot carry this. People get annoyed even by words. And matters like getting hit, they cannot stand it. Yet they should remember Allāh. Allāh should always be in our hearts as much as possible. Whatever happens and you get upset, remember directly it is from Allāh. Your sadness will become lighter then. When you are needy, say, "There is Allāh. Allah is testing us. This trouble will go too." Because you know it comes from somewhere bigger. It's not for nothing.
If you know that your rank and rewards will increase, it will be easier and you'll be content. Otherwise, when you don't know, you keep mumbling, "How did this happen? Where did this trouble come from? Where did this problem come from?" To know Allāh and to be with Allāh is the biggest favour, is the biggest goodness. All troubles will go away. You'll be in peace, always in peace. "Allāh is with me. Allāh is seeing me." We are always together with Allāh. Allāh is with us for twenty four hours. If you think so, you will be relaxed then. If you don't think so, you will spend your life in regret. You'll be mumbling, "If only I did this. If only I did that. If only this and that happened," and die at last with all your life spent in troubles. Therefore, a man is in peace in this world when he remembers Allāh and doesn't let Allāh out of his heart.Everything we are in this life, we must know Allāh He is by His will we are in this life. Many times people they are
complaining, every people, but for ṭarīqah people, for Muslim and especially for ṭarīqah people to be respect and good behave – good behave it is first order, adab, good behave. Adab for ṭarīqah people you must keep respect and adab with Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and with other people also. Everything it is from Him. This is adab for people to know what happen, it is coming from Him. And to remember this you must make remembrance of Allāh twenty four hour per day every day. You must put Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla in your heart. Don't go without thinking, "Our Lord is in our heart."
Dhikr, meaning to remember meaning and when you do this twenty four hour you making you like you are doing dhikr. Because you are remembering Allāh and He – you know He is with you. Everything you done it will be better. This for ṭarīqah people: it is very important good behave and to know everything coming from Allāh. This was a old time mashāyikh was teaching their murīd. Old time they was more strict than this day but now the end of time. It is okay like this because people even if they said in "we are in ṭarīqah" it is enough for them. Because many they are attacking reality and attacking ṭarīqah, attacking way of Prophet, so we are – only if you say you are in ṭarīqah it is okay also.
But in ṭarīqah you must learn adab, good behave. And good behave it is was, as we said, in old time very strict in ṭarīqah – to how to acting, how to coming, how to going, through for mosque, for Shaykh, for Murshid, and for how you must dress, what you will eat, what you will do. All this was very strict and especially for making between people also. They was saying, if somebody giving you gold coin and other one hitting you, slapping you in your neck, you mustn't be angry for this and you mustn't be happy with other. You must thanking of course but not be angry for other because both coming from Allāh, from our Lord. This acting this people – Allāh send them for you – same. This is for highest thing for murīd to if he can do this. Is very difficult to do especially this time nobody can do this. So but also just to saying how it was before and also you can take idea to be thinking about this also.
Everything coming from Allāh. If you think like this your life it will be more easy, more happy. Because many people complaining, "Oh from where this coming this problem for me?" And other, "From where coming this?" Anxious, this stress coming for you from where this coming? If you know this coming from your Lord, you will be quiet and you be accepted and you will be happy because you know when Allāh sending something for this like this He make you give reward for what He send for you. If when for in ākhirah, you said if you wish to have more than this difficult in your life to get more reward from Allāh.
So this is for believer and ṭarīqah people making our life more easier. Every time remember when you have something difficult, something you are not happy with this, you remember your Lord. You said, "Allāh Alhamdulilah it is from You and we are
happy with are give us. We are happy from Your mercy. We are happy from what You what You send. Everything we are happy with this." This is happiness for believer, for mu’min. But other who are they don't have belief, whole life taking pills, going to psychiatry. Going to psychiatry they are every day they have problem, whole life problem and then nothing.
So, Alhamdulilah, we are, Allāh make us believer but we must remember this. For this ṣuḥbah for this to remember everybody. Our Lord, In Sha Allah, Allāh give us all happiness, In Sha Allah, no imtiḥān (test).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
76.ASK FOR FORGIVENESS Thursday, 10 May 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 – at the end of times there will be calamities of rain and children will be disobedient. It says, "Al-maṭaru qayẓan wa l-waladu ghayẓan." It is ḥadīth sharīf. We are living at the end of times. Both rain and snow, everything is in the hands of Allāh. The rain will be sent according to the state of people. And it is raining as a calamity, floods are taking everything. Everywhere is being destroyed. Sometimes people are dying. Sometimes there are big losses. And children are born disobedient, not obedient to their parents. This is the situation.
Why is it happening? Because people deserve it. We should pray to Allāh and ask for rain. They say rain falls by itself, things happen by themselves and mislead people by teaching this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying in Qur’ān, "Faqultu staghfirū Rabbakum innahu kāna ghaffāran" (71:10). Make tawbah, ask forgiveness from Allāh, as Allāh is forgiving. He forgives maximally. Whatever you do, when you say "tawbah astaghfiru Llāh", He accepts your repentance. Then what happens next; "Yursili s-samā’a ‘alaykum midrāran wa- yumdidkum bi-amwālin wa banīna wa yaj‘al lakum jannātin wa yaj‘al lakum anhāran. ( 71:11, 12 )"Allah sends you good rain, good provision, and good children. Then He Allāh gives you beautiful gardens and paradise both in dunyā and ākhirah. How will all this happen? When you are obedient to Allāh.
If we made a mistake, we should repent. Thus Allāh turns that catastrophe into relief. For example, there was a calamity a couple of days ago. Nothing is left in one area here in Cyprus – not trees, not bushes, not vegetables. It hailed heavily. It was coming here too. We were inspired and started making tawbah and shukr to Allāh, and it turned into rain. And it watered the land well. If you decided to water like that, you wouldn't be able to finish in five days. It is not a miracle or anything. When you carry out Allāh's order, Allāh's promise happens immediately. So make tawbah before such calamity comes. They say a flood came and took people away. They don't think of the mistakes they made and to make tawbah. We make tawbah for sins we made so that Allāh forgives and shows mercy to us. And the rains are important.
More important is what our Prophet said: good children. We should always be in repentance for them not to be bad. We have to ask forgiveness from Allāh. Allāh is saying it openly to everyone, not just for one section. If everyone does it, they will deserve these good things. And if you don't do, catastrophe will reach you. They hide in cars to be saved. Even cars are smashed. In five minutes, Allāh leaves no building, no window, no car, no tree. Make tawbah. If you don't make tawbah, stones will fall down on you. May Allāh not let it happen. May Allāh protect from calamities. We always ask for forgiveness from Allāh, In Sha Allah.
This time it is end time. Prophet he saying when this time coming, approaching for Judgement Day, end of human being life. The human being they thought there is one billion year, three billion year for this global to finish, to it will, after it will be nothing on it. No it is not like this. Our life for human being it is there limit time and we are coming to end of this time. We have another life, Alhamdulilah, they are forever. But for this life, it is short and for dunyā also it is short. And when the end of time coming, Prophet saying, "Yakūnu l- maṭaru qayẓan wa l-waladu ghayẓan" – meaning the rain become like disaster and the children unobedient, not good people. This is for our time and it is like this. You cannot imagine how the even small children they become, like teaching them in this bad thing – like shayṭān, like devil. And the rain, when it's coming rain, not sweet rain, flood everywhere. Everywhere destroying, dying many people. You hear this country maybe twenty people died from flood. Other – two people, other – two hundred people. You hear like this.
But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He give also how to be protected from this. He said from Sūrat Nūḥ "Faqultu staghfirū Rabbakum innahu kāna ghaffāran" (71:10). Nūḥ said: "I said to make for asking for forgiveness from Allāh." He is the most extreme forgiving. He is, He forgive everything. When He forgive everything what will happen? Maybe people they say we are not feeling anything. "Yursili s-samā’a ‘alaykum midrāran" (71:11). He said He will send rain, very good rain for you, not disaster, not bad rain, not flood – nice rain. After, "Yumdidkum bi-amwālin wa-banīna" (71:12). And He will give you fortune and He will give you children, good children. Wa yaj‘al lakum jannāti wa-yaj‘al lakum anhārā (71:12) . And rivers. This is what in this dunyā for, if you ask for forgiveness.
And, Alhamdulilah, before two, three days, there was heavy rain here and it was ice, like big big ice and storm and I was after breakfast seeing coming on trees. Allāh He make us to remember this and ask for "astaghfiru Llāh astaghfiru Llāh astaghfiru Llāh" until after one minute be changing to rain, very nice rain. All this area it was raining very nice everywhere. You feel if you give three days water cannot be like this. But there is one, maybe ten or fifteen kilometer from here, this people they are never remembering anything and whole area they crush their grapes and vegetable – everything finish there. You cannot find even one. And it is not miracle. No. It just we obeying what Allāh He saying.
They saying ask for forgiveness. We ask for forgiveness not – everybody can do this. No need to be Shaykh, no need to be ‘ālim scholar. Only ask He said and He promise He will be do this. And that what happen – no miracle. No. From us or just must remember this. And for also, the most important, children, our children. So you must be ask for forgiveness every time from Allāh and He is happy with us He change. Even in this time can be your place good, your children also safe, obedient good people, acceptable people in Divinely Presence and good for people also.
