Suhbah 2023: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (375 suhbah, 886 pages, 2/50)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=8385
The most beloved people for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are the young people with Iman(faith) and Taqwa (piety). They are the beloved people of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, because shaytan is stronger when people are younger. As it is more difficult to capture their egos then, youngsters on the way of Allah who fight their egos and defeat them are the most beloved servants of Allah.
Elderly people get retired and then start to pray. That is ok. But their virtue doesn’t stand next to that of youngsters. Youngsters who are on the beloved way of Allah, people who keep on this way with the love towards Allah are the beloved servants of Allah. The beloved servant of Allah is counted as ‘Awliy Wali means the beloved servant of Allah.
People who walk on this way face difficulties and all kinds of badness of this time. And the worst are the youngsters who’ve gone astray. Because they strive to take those on the way out of it. Whatever the wisdom is, a bad friend is a thousand times worse than shaytan. Shaytan
Page846
harms once, but he harms a thousand times. May Allah protect us.There is a lot of such people in this time. Therefore, youngsters who walk on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are walking on a difficult way. But in return for that difficulty, there will be great virtues, great Thawab and great goodness in Dunya and Akhirah. People who are on the right way, people who walk on the way of Allah are in comfort in Dunya as well. But people on the bad way are always at loss. They are at loss here and hereafter.
The way of Allah is the way of light. It is a beautiful way. It is the way of goodness. It is beneficial. There are various benefits in it. But for people who’ve gone astray, there are various dangers and all kinds of loss. May Allah protect both the old and the young. Youngsters must be more diligent and more cautious about who they are hanging out with. If their friends have something odd, it is best to be cautious and to stay away from them. Whatever that is, don’t look at their pretension. Their pretension is not worth a penny. They harm themselves and will harm you even more. May Allah protect us from their evil.
May Allah give guidance Insha Allah.

YOUR OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH WILL SAVE YOU Sunday, 17 December 2023 / 4 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘Wa Ja’alnākum Shu’ūbāan Wa Qabā’ila Lita’ārafū Inna ‘Akramakum Inda Allāhi ‘Atqākum’’. “And made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.’’ (Qur’ān 49:13).ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created us. He created various people with different colors and different languages. The virtuous and accepted people among them in the presence of Allah are those who fear from Allah. Why is the fear from Allah? In order not to do bad things. People fear from Allah because they know that if they do bad things, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will punish them for that.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is merciful. You shouldn’t be afraid of the punishment of Allah because His mercy is greater than His punishment. As long as you repent, Allah will forgive and accept our repentance. Therefore, when people say, “I am this and that. I come from here and there”, it won’t save you. What will save you is your obedience to Allah, your contentment with Allah. That will bring you benefit. Otherwise, there are thousands of various people. There are all kinds of people. Nations and colors; all people are different. Those who are on the way of Allah will be saved.Those who are not on the way of Allah may possess as
Page848
much as they want in this world and rule over the world, it has no benefit. As they are against Allah, there is no benefit but loss. Being on the way of Allah is the most beautiful thing. And it is a great favor to carry out His orders. That is the favor of Allah to us.
We must make Shukr to Allah for our ancestors and grandfathers for having been on this way. These are the things that shaytan doesn’t like. Therefore, he wants to bring up generations who don’t show respect to their ancestors. He will be happy if he raises such ones. But those who are on the way of Allah are the victorious Insha Allah. With the prayers of our ancestors and grandfathers, this way of Islam will be everlasting Insha Allah.
Sometimes people go astray. They are striving to mislead others through all kinds of dirtiness; by drinking alcohol, drugs and pervert ideas. But Allah is the Victor Insha Allah. They will reach guidance, and they will quit doing these things. Most of the time they feel regret. However, they’ve become slaves of these things they do and the badness they cause; they cannot save themselves. Even so, they should repent and ask for forgiveness from Allah. Allah will help them and forgive their sins Insha Allah. May Allah protect us, Islam and Muslims. We are in difficult times. May He make us steadfast.
May we be with Iman and Islam Insha Allah.

SEE HIS GREATNESS Monday, 18 December 2023 / 5 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:‘‘Li-Llāhi l-Wāḥidi l-Qahhār’’. “To Allah, the One, the Prevailing.’ (Qur’ān 40:16). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
People are weak next to the power and greatness of Allah ‘Azza waJalla.Sub Han Allah for His greatness. The most important thing we have to say is Sub Han Allah. Saying Sub Han Allah cannot be said with respect to anyone apart from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is a holy word that is said only to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Angels glorify Him“Wa `In Min Shay`in `Illā“ YusabbiĥuBiĥamdihi”. “And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise.” (Qur’an 17:44).
Everything glorifies Allah.And glorifying is saying Sub Han Allah, SubhanAllahu l-‘Azim. We can express His greatness only with this beautiful word. His greatness and power are in every particle. Nothing comes into being without His power. From the tiniest particle, from the place we live in and from ourselves to heavens and earth, Allah ‘Azza waJalla is showing His greatness to people everywhere. Clever ones are able to see it. Mindless ones don’t see. It is said in Qur’an ‘AzimushShan, those who see it are: “Aşĥābu Al-Maymanah”,“The companions of the right.” (Qur’an 56:08).
Page850
They are the people who have all kinds of goodness. They have abundance, beauty and happiness. They are the people who believe and obey Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
But “Wa Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Bi`āyātinā Hum `Aşĥābu Al-Mash`amah”, “But they who disbelieved in Our signs those are the companions of the left.” (Qur’an 90:19).
Those who don’t see these beautiful things that we see and worship others, or those who don’t believe are unlucky ones. They are unfortunate ones. Everything they do brings no benefit. They have no benefit to themselves too. Even though they think something of themselves, they have no value. They are the unlucky people. In the end, there is hellfire waiting for them. Apart from the fire here, there will be fire hereafter.
Therefore, clever people see the greatness of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in every particle, in every dot. The greatness of Allah is visible in everything. Every particle is pointing at the existence, greatness and superiority of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has such capabilities that people get astonished when they see. Some of them start believing, but some people become more ignorant. Whereas they see there is power in every particle, there is something. Those who don’t see it are blind and unfortunate. All kinds of troubles come to them. May Allah protect us. May Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla always show us His greatness.
May His Barakah be upon us Insha Allah.

HUMANHOOD IS ONLY BY SERVANTHOOD Tuesday, 19 December 2023 / 6 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Shukr to Allah for the favors He gives. No matter how much Shukr we make, it is insufficient. Allah let us live with Iman. May Allah protect us. People attain humanhood only through being in servanthood to Allah. Otherwise, the more they are estranged from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the more they are estranged from their humanhood.
Whatever they do, it will be useless. It will be nothing but loss. They say it is disgraceful. It becomes something like this. People who are estranged from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla fall in such condition.
The more worship we perform to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the more beneficial it is for us. We get closer to Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says:Perform your worship, Fard and so on. And in order to become even closer, perform Nafl worship, especially the Sunnah of the prayers.(Hadith Qudsi).
Make more Sunnah like Duha prayer, Ishraq prayer and two additional Rak’aat after Fard of Dhuhr prayer. Normally, it is two Rak’aat Sunnah. But making it four Rak’aat is more virtuous. And the same after Isha prayer. Praying four Rak’aat in last Sunnah has a lot of virtue. Of course, you can pray two Rak’aat. But with four Rak’aat; in order to get closer to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, we have to appreciate every chance. We
Page852
should not miss it, because if you miss it once, you cannot catch it anymore. Therefore, as soon as you have a chance, use it.
Many brothers want to make Ziyarah in these days. Visiting Awliya’, making ‘Umrah and visiting our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم make our sins be forgiven and cleanse our sins.
Of course, a prayer performed in Makkah in front of the Ka’bah is multiplied by 100,000. Every good deed, worship, Sadaqah, everything done is multiplied by 100,000. It has such a high virtue. Therefore, those who go there should not stay and pray in hotels, especially the Fard prayers. The rest shouldn’t be prayed in hotels either. Prayers performed at Ka’bah or in the mosque of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam have the virtue of 1,000 prayers. Everything done is rewarded 1,000fold. Therefore, they shouldn’t miss their chance as much as they can. As we said, those who miss their chance will hardly catch it again. Therefore, as long as there is a chance, do all kinds of goodness. Do everything, but do not be lazy.
Sometimes some people go to extremes. No need to do that. You will have Waswasa then. For weak people, there are some things that are better than Nafl worship.
What are they? For people to look after their families and Rizq; for ladies to look after their household, to look after their husbands, to look after their children. Whatever needs they have, if ladies leave them and want to perform Nafl worship, their worship won’t be accepted. And as they didn’t look after the household and didn’t carry out their duty, they may be accounted for that. May Allah protect us.
We have to balance everything. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam says: ”Khayru l‘Umoori l-Wasat”,“The middle of everything is best.”You must go in the middle in everything. Because going to extremes is like Sayyidina ‘Ali said said:“A’lamaatu l-Junooni ‘Imma
Page853
‘Ifratwa ‘Imma Tafreet”“The signs of madness are either excess or negligence.”
The sign of insanity is going too far; either overdoing, or not doing at all. May Allah protect us. Allah has given people as much as they can do. If they do more and then don’t do at all, that is worse. Therefore, keep in the middle. And may Allah accept our worship and our deeds. Insha’Allah may they be the means for goodness. May they be perpetual.
Continuity is important. May Allah make it perpetual Insha Allah.

FEARING HIM IS WHAT SAVES US Wednesday, 20 December 2023 / 7 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”Inna Llāha ma‘alladhīna it-taqaw wa lladhīna hum muḥsinūn’’. ‘‘Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.’’(Qur’ān 16:128).SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is together with those who fear Him and those who dogoodness, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People who fear Allah don’t harm anyone. They strive to do goodness to everyone. They are beloved servants of Allah and Awliya of Allah.
It is easy to say but most of the time difficult to do this. It is difficult to find such people, because the ego misleads people and makes them wild. They think they are important and go according to their own minds, not according to their own minds but as their egos order. When they do so, there is no benefit in the things they do. Otherwise, they carry out the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and that’s it. There is no virtue in things apart from that. There is no pleasure of Allah.
People who follow their egos and are conceited by their egos, arrogant people: everything they do is useless. They may save themselves, but sometimes they cannot. And those who follow them impact others as well. It happens like that of course, because arrogance is from the attributes disliked by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.This attribute is the means for
Page855
everything people do to be wasted. That is a trick of shaytan. He cheats people and doesn’t want them to have any benefit. He always wants them to be like him, so that everything they do is useless. Sometimes it is useless, and sometimes it is harmful.
As these people don’t fear Allah, they are capable of doing all kinds of badness. May Allah protect us from their evil. Whoever it may be; this person may be a great person who brought great benefit to us, did this and that. That is not important. What’s important is whether he fears Allah or rebels against Allah, whether he showed the right way to people or misled them. This is what’s important. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is together with those who fear Him. The rest may be the greatest or the smallest ones of the world, that’s not important. What’s important is to be together with Allah. What’s important is to be with those who are with Allah. The rest is not important at all! Dunya will remain in Dunya. No matter if you are rich or poor, wherever you are, if Allah is with you, you are saved. Otherwise, even if the whole world is yours, it has no benefit. May we fear Allah. May we ask for beneficence from Allah, because the deeds we do that Allah likes happen by His beneficence. Tests occur otherwise.
May Allah protect us. May He not test us.

CORRUPTION NEVER LEADS TO GOODNESS Thursday, 21 December 2023 / 8 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”Inna Allāha Lā Yuşliĥu `Amala Al-Mufsidīn’’. ’‘Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters.’’(Qur’ān 10:81).
Allah never makes the work of those who do badness good. The ending of the work of those who corrupt is always bad. There is no benefit, and no benefit for themselves as well.
People think they are vigilant. And in order to get profit, they do different things. Eventually, their work is ruined, and they are ruined themselves. The things done by people with bad intentions will never have goodness, as Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t help them and as He جل جلاله doesn’t love them. Corruption doesn’t lead to goodness. It leads to badness. If you show it as if you are doing goodness, Allah knows the truth.
Therefore, be on the right path. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says to our Holy Prophet as an order.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘aka’’. ”So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah ].’’(Qur’ān 11:112).
Page857
Be on the right path, as you have been commanded. The right path is the way of improvement. Don’t go to the way of corruption, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Those who are with our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam must be like him upon the straight path. They must not lie, not do wrong and evil. Those who do will find nobenefit. Because those who do this for Dunya which is worth a penny and think they are in profit have no profit at all. Certainly, as Allah doesn’t like it, Allah will punish them. If He doesn’t give them punishment here, it will be worse in Akhirah.
Therefore, it is the greatest blessing to be with Allah. It is the greatest blessing to be a beloved servant of Allah. We must strive to attain the pleasure of Allah and do whatever brings the pleasure of Allah. And we should stay away from whatever corruption there is that Allah dislikes. May Allah help us. It seemseasy, however, the ego likes corruption more. Therefore, we must be careful with that.
May Allah protect us from the evil of our egos and from the evil of bad ones.

ALLAH IS WITH THE OPPRESSED Friday, 22 December 2023 / 9 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘WaLanaşbiranna `Alá Mā`Ādhaytumūnā Wa`AláAllāhi Falyatawakkali Al Mutawakkilūn’’. ‘‘And we will surely be patient against whatever harm you should cause us. And upon Allah let those who would rely [indeed] rely.’’(Qur’ān 14:12). SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
It is said in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan that Prophets and good people had always been harmed. They were done wrong and harmed at all times. As they were on the way of Allah, they said, “We will be patient and keep on the way of Allah. We will be patient with the harm and badness you do, and rely on Allah”. Prophets said so.
There is no Prophet after our Holy Prophet anymore. But there are believers, people who walk on this way. Those who walk on this way always go through suffering. They are oppressed. It is always like this. And as it is the end of times, they are oppressed even more. The more goodness they do, the more oppression is made on them. They should rely on Allah like Prophets did.
Those who rely on Allah, nothing goes in vain for them. Even though they are under oppression apparently, their rewards are great in the presence of Allah. Allah certainly rewards them for their deeds. And the
Page859
biggest reward is that they are not oppressors but the oppressed. This is a big reward for them, because Allah is with the oppressed. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “There is no veil between Me and the Dua of the oppressed”.Oppressors will surely be punished. If they don’t regret what they did here, they will regret it in Akhirah. Because when people are oppressed, sometimes oppression is only upon one person. When they oppress more people, there are many people who are deprived from their good deeds. And because of one person, oppression is made on many people. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will give all of them their due. We must rely on Allah. All of these are the things done for the pleasure of Allah. That is the goodness done on the way of Allah. Showing the way to people and helping them, doing all kinds of goodness are for Allah, for the pleasure of Allah. People who prevent this are oppressors. They will certainly be punished.
May Allah give understanding to people. May they not sell their Akhirah for Dunya. There are people who live by as big scholars. They are the ones who sell their Akhirah for Dunya the most. May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allah perpetuate Islam and Muslims. May He give guidance to these oppressors.Without guidance, their ending will not be good.May Allah always be with the truth and the right ones. May He help them soon Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Khatms, Tasbihat, Salawat, Ayat and Surahs, Yasin. All kinds of charity is done. May Allah accept them.We gift them to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlul-Bayt and Sahabah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.May Allah help the true Mu’mins Insha Allah. For happiness here and hereafter.

IMAN GIVES YOU A BEAUTIFUL LIFE Saturday, 23 December 2023 / 10 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: “Falanuĥyiyannahu Ĥayāatan Tayyibatan’‘. “We will surely cause him to live a good life.’’ (Qur’ān 16:97). For the people who believe in Allah, We will let them live a beautiful life in this world and an even better life in Akhirah”, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah gives peace in the hearts of those who obey Allah. He gives tranquility and beauty. And to those who don’t believe in Allah ‘Azza waJalla, He gives darkness and all kinds of unrest in their hearts. Those who are on the way of Allah might say,“We are on the way of Allah, but our hearts are not at peace. We are not happy with our lives”. There are many Muslim people who say so. Why is that? Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla: Sadaqa Allah, Sadaqa Allahu l-‘Azeem. Allah is the one who speaks the truth. It means those people don’t believe truly. They feel uneasy since their Iman is incomplete.
People with complete Iman, their hearts are at peace. Their life in this world is “Tayyibah”, He says. “Tayyibah” means beautiful and tranquil too. They are away from all kinds of unrest. Otherwise, you have an incompleteness, and that’s why you’re not happy with your life. “How are you?” Some of them say, “Not good at all”. Why? “Because of this and that”. It means you are not happy with Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. That is why you don’t have peace and tranquillity in your heart.One Sahabah
Page861
had come to our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. The Sahabah had a stomach ache. He told him to drink honey syrup. The Sahabah drank it and said, “I’m still sick”. He went once again, our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam told him to drink again. The Sahabah drank it again and said again “I don’t feel better.” He came for the fourth time. And when he said the same thing, our Holy Prophet said, “Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla tells the truth, and your stomach is lying.” He said, “Drink it again”. And when he drank it, his pain was gone.
This means when there is Iman, everything is good. Without Iman, or when your Iman is incomplete, there is unrest then, and your heart doesn’t have peace. Therefore, people must look inside themselves and ask, “Am I happy and content?” If you are happy, Shukr to Allah. Make Shukr to Allah for you have Iman then. Otherwise, pay attention to yourself. Iman is important. It is the greatest favor given to people. May Allah increase this favor to all of us. May our hearts be at peace.
May we have happiness here and hereafter Insha Allah.

Youngsters must be more diligent and more cautious about who they are hanging out with. If their friends have something odd, it is best to be cautious and to stay away from them. Whatever that is, don’t look at their pretension. Their pretension is not worth a penny. They harm themselves and will harm you even more. May Allah protect us from their evil.
May Allah give guidance Insha Allah.

YOUR OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH WILL SAVE YOU Sunday, 17 December 2023 / 4 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created us. He created various people with different colors and different languages. The virtuous and accepted people among them in the presence of Allah are those who fear from Allah. Why is the fear from Allah? In order not to do bad things. People fear from Allah because they know that if they do bad things, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will punish them for that.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is merciful. You shouldn’t be afraid of the punishment of Allah because His mercy is greater than His punishment. As long as you repent, Allah will forgive and accept our repentance. Therefore, when people say, “I am this and that. I come from here and there”, it won’t save you. What will save you is your obedience to Allah, your contentment with Allah. That will bring you benefit. Otherwise, there are thousands of various people. There are all kinds of people.

much as they want in this world and rule over the world, it has no benefit. As they are against Allah, there is no benefit but loss. Being on the way of Allah is the most beautiful thing. And it is a great favor to carry out His orders. That is the favor of Allah to us.
We must make Shukr to Allah for our ancestors and grandfathers for having been on this way. These are the things that shaytan doesn’t like. Therefore, he wants to bring up generations who don’t show respect to their ancestors. He will be happy if he raises such ones. But those who are on the way of Allah are the victorious Insha Allah. With the prayers of our ancestors and grandfathers, this way of Islam will be everlasting Insha Allah.
Sometimes people go astray. They are striving to mislead others through all kinds of dirtiness; by drinking alcohol, drugs and pervert ideas. But Allah is the Victor Insha Allah. They will reach guidance, and they will quit doing these things. Most of the time they feel regret. However, they’ve become slaves of these things they do and the badness they cause; they cannot save themselves. Even so, they should repent and ask for forgiveness from Allah. Allah will help them and forgive their sins Insha Allah. May Allah protect us, Islam and Muslims. We are in difficult times. May He make us steadfast.
May we be with Iman and Islam Insha Allah.

SEE HIS GREATNESS Monday, 18 December 2023 / 5 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:‘‘Li-Llāhi l-Wāḥidi l-Qahhār’’. “To Allah, the One, the Prevailing.’ (Qur’ān 40:16). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
People are weak next to the power and greatness of Allah ‘Azza waJalla.Sub Han Allah for His greatness. The most important thing we have to say is Sub Han Allah. Saying Sub Han Allah cannot be said with respect to anyone apart from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is a holy word that is said only to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Angels glorify Him“Wa `In Min Shay`in `Illā“ YusabbiĥuBiĥamdihi”. “And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise.” (Qur’an 17:44).
Everything glorifies Allah.And glorifying is saying Sub Han Allah, SubhanAllahu l-‘Azim. We can express His greatness only with this beautiful word. His greatness and power are in every particle. Nothing comes into being without His power. From the tiniest particle, from the place we live in and from ourselves to heavens and earth, Allah ‘Azza waJalla is showing His greatness to people everywhere. Clever ones are able to see it. Mindless ones don’t see. It is said in Qur’an ‘AzimushShan, those who see it are: “Aşĥābu Al-Maymanah”,“The companions of the right.” (Qur’an 56:08).
Page850
They are the people who have all kinds of goodness. They have abundance, beauty and happiness. They are the people who believe and obey Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
But “Wa Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Bi`āyātinā Hum `Aşĥābu Al-Mash`amah”, “But they who disbelieved in Our signs those are the companions of the left.” (Qur’an 90:19).
Those who don’t see these beautiful things that we see and worship others, or those who don’t believe are unlucky ones. They are unfortunate ones. Everything they do brings no benefit. They have no benefit to themselves too. Even though they think something of themselves, they have no value. They are the unlucky people. In the end, there is hellfire waiting for them. Apart from the fire here, there will be fire hereafter.
Therefore, clever people see the greatness of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in every particle, in every dot. The greatness of Allah is visible in everything. Every particle is pointing at the existence, greatness and superiority of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has such capabilities that people get astonished when they see. Some of them start believing, but some people become more ignorant. Whereas they see there is power in every particle, there is something. Those who don’t see it are blind and unfortunate. All kinds of troubles come to them. May Allah protect us. May Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla always show us His greatness.
May His Barakah be upon us Insha Allah.

HUMANHOOD IS ONLY BY SERVANTHOOD Tuesday, 19 December 2023 / 6 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Shukr to Allah for the favors He gives. No matter how much Shukr we make, it is insufficient. Allah let us live with Iman. May Allah protect us. People attain humanhood only through being in servanthood to Allah. Otherwise, the more they are estranged from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the more they are estranged from their humanhood.
Whatever they do, it will be useless. It will be nothing but loss. They say it is disgraceful. It becomes something like this. People who are estranged from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla fall in such condition.
The more worship we perform to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the more beneficial it is for us. We get closer to Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says:Perform your worship, Fard and so on. And in order to become even closer, perform Nafl worship, especially the Sunnah of the prayers.(Hadith Qudsi).
Make more Sunnah like Duha prayer, Ishraq prayer and two additional Rak’aat after Fard of Dhuhr prayer. Normally, it is two Rak’aat Sunnah. But making it four Rak’aat is more virtuous. And the same after Isha prayer. Praying four Rak’aat in last Sunnah has a lot of virtue. Of course, you can pray two Rak’aat. But with four Rak’aat; in order to get closer to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, we have to appreciate every chance. We
Page852
should not miss it, because if you miss it once, you cannot catch it anymore. Therefore, as soon as you have a chance, use it.
Many brothers want to make Ziyarah in these days. Visiting Awliya’, making ‘Umrah and visiting our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم make our sins be forgiven and cleanse our sins.
Of course, a prayer performed in Makkah in front of the Ka’bah is multiplied by 100,000. Every good deed, worship, Sadaqah, everything done is multiplied by 100,000. It has such a high virtue. Therefore, those who go there should not stay and pray in hotels, especially the Fard prayers. The rest shouldn’t be prayed in hotels either. Prayers performed at Ka’bah or in the mosque of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam have the virtue of 1,000 prayers. Everything done is rewarded 1,000fold. Therefore, they shouldn’t miss their chance as much as they can. As we said, those who miss their chance will hardly catch it again. Therefore, as long as there is a chance, do all kinds of goodness. Do everything, but do not be lazy.
Sometimes some people go to extremes. No need to do that. You will have Waswasa then. For weak people, there are some things that are better than Nafl worship.
What are they? For people to look after their families and Rizq; for ladies to look after their household, to look after their husbands, to look after their children. Whatever needs they have, if ladies leave them and want to perform Nafl worship, their worship won’t be accepted. And as they didn’t look after the household and didn’t carry out their duty, they may be accounted for that. May Allah protect us.
We have to balance everything. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam says: ”Khayru l‘Umoori l-Wasat”,“The middle of everything is best.”You must go in the middle in everything. Because going to extremes is like Sayyidina ‘Ali said said:“A’lamaatu l-Junooni ‘Imma
Page853
‘Ifratwa ‘Imma Tafreet”“The signs of madness are either excess or negligence.”
The sign of insanity is going too far; either overdoing, or not doing at all. May Allah protect us. Allah has given people as much as they can do. If they do more and then don’t do at all, that is worse. Therefore, keep in the middle. And may Allah accept our worship and our deeds. Insha’Allah may they be the means for goodness. May they be perpetual.
Continuity is important. May Allah make it perpetual Insha Allah.

FEARING HIM IS WHAT SAVES US Wednesday, 20 December 2023 / 7 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”Inna Llāha ma‘alladhīna it-taqaw wa lladhīna hum muḥsinūn’’. ‘‘Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.’’(Qur’ān 16:128).SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is together with those who fear Him and those who dogoodness, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People who fear Allah don’t harm anyone. They strive to do goodness to everyone. They are beloved servants of Allah and Awliya of Allah.
It is easy to say but most of the time difficult to do this. It is difficult to find such people, because the ego misleads people and makes them wild. They think they are important and go according to their own minds, not according to their own minds but as their egos order. When they do so, there is no benefit in the things they do. Otherwise, they carry out the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and that’s it. There is no virtue in things apart from that. There is no pleasure of Allah.
People who follow their egos and are conceited by their egos, arrogant people: everything they do is useless. They may save themselves, but sometimes they cannot. And those who follow them impact others as well. It happens like that of course, because arrogance is from the attributes disliked by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.This attribute is the means for
Page855
everything people do to be wasted. That is a trick of shaytan. He cheats people and doesn’t want them to have any benefit. He always wants them to be like him, so that everything they do is useless. Sometimes it is useless, and sometimes it is harmful.
As these people don’t fear Allah, they are capable of doing all kinds of badness. May Allah protect us from their evil. Whoever it may be; this person may be a great person who brought great benefit to us, did this and that. That is not important. What’s important is whether he fears Allah or rebels against Allah, whether he showed the right way to people or misled them. This is what’s important. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is together with those who fear Him. The rest may be the greatest or the smallest ones of the world, that’s not important. What’s important is to be together with Allah. What’s important is to be with those who are with Allah. The rest is not important at all! Dunya will remain in Dunya. No matter if you are rich or poor, wherever you are, if Allah is with you, you are saved. Otherwise, even if the whole world is yours, it has no benefit. May we fear Allah. May we ask for beneficence from Allah, because the deeds we do that Allah likes happen by His beneficence. Tests occur otherwise.
May Allah protect us. May He not test us.

CORRUPTION NEVER LEADS TO GOODNESS Thursday, 21 December 2023 / 8 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”Inna Allāha Lā Yuşliĥu `Amala Al-Mufsidīn’’. ’‘Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters.’’(Qur’ān 10:81).
Allah never makes the work of those who do badness good. The ending of the work of those who corrupt is always bad. There is no benefit, and no benefit for themselves as well.
People think they are vigilant. And in order to get profit, they do different things. Eventually, their work is ruined, and they are ruined themselves. The things done by people with bad intentions will never have goodness, as Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t help them and as He جل جلاله doesn’t love them. Corruption doesn’t lead to goodness. It leads to badness. If you show it as if you are doing goodness, Allah knows the truth.
Therefore, be on the right path. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says to our Holy Prophet as an order.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘aka’’. ”So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah ].’’(Qur’ān 11:112).
Page857
Be on the right path, as you have been commanded. The right path is the way of improvement. Don’t go to the way of corruption, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Those who are with our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam must be like him upon the straight path. They must not lie, not do wrong and evil. Those who do will find nobenefit. Because those who do this for Dunya which is worth a penny and think they are in profit have no profit at all. Certainly, as Allah doesn’t like it, Allah will punish them. If He doesn’t give them punishment here, it will be worse in Akhirah.
Therefore, it is the greatest blessing to be with Allah. It is the greatest blessing to be a beloved servant of Allah. We must strive to attain the pleasure of Allah and do whatever brings the pleasure of Allah. And we should stay away from whatever corruption there is that Allah dislikes. May Allah help us. It seemseasy, however, the ego likes corruption more. Therefore, we must be careful with that.
May Allah protect us from the evil of our egos and from the evil of bad ones.

ALLAH IS WITH THE OPPRESSED Friday, 22 December 2023 / 9 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘WaLanaşbiranna `Alá Mā`Ādhaytumūnā Wa`AláAllāhi Falyatawakkali Al Mutawakkilūn’’. ‘‘And we will surely be patient against whatever harm you should cause us. And upon Allah let those who would rely [indeed] rely.’’(Qur’ān 14:12). SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
It is said in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan that Prophets and good people had always been harmed. They were done wrong and harmed at all times. As they were on the way of Allah, they said, “We will be patient and keep on the way of Allah. We will be patient with the harm and badness you do, and rely on Allah”. Prophets said so.
There is no Prophet after our Holy Prophet anymore. But there are believers, people who walk on this way. Those who walk on this way always go through suffering. They are oppressed. It is always like this. And as it is the end of times, they are oppressed even more. The more goodness they do, the more oppression is made on them. They should rely on Allah like Prophets did.
Those who rely on Allah, nothing goes in vain for them. Even though they are under oppression apparently, their rewards are great in the presence of Allah. Allah certainly rewards them for their deeds. And the
Page859
biggest reward is that they are not oppressors but the oppressed. This is a big reward for them, because Allah is with the oppressed. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “There is no veil between Me and the Dua of the oppressed”.Oppressors will surely be punished. If they don’t regret what they did here, they will regret it in Akhirah. Because when people are oppressed, sometimes oppression is only upon one person. When they oppress more people, there are many people who are deprived from their good deeds. And because of one person, oppression is made on many people. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will give all of them their due. We must rely on Allah. All of these are the things done for the pleasure of Allah. That is the goodness done on the way of Allah. Showing the way to people and helping them, doing all kinds of goodness are for Allah, for the pleasure of Allah. People who prevent this are oppressors. They will certainly be punished.
May Allah give understanding to people. May they not sell their Akhirah for Dunya. There are people who live by as big scholars. They are the ones who sell their Akhirah for Dunya the most. May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allah perpetuate Islam and Muslims. May He give guidance to these oppressors.Without guidance, their ending will not be good.May Allah always be with the truth and the right ones. May He help them soon Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Khatms, Tasbihat, Salawat, Ayat and Surahs, Yasin. All kinds of charity is done. May Allah accept them.We gift them to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlul-Bayt and Sahabah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.May Allah help the true Mu’mins Insha Allah. For happiness here and hereafter.

IMAN GIVES YOU A BEAUTIFUL LIFE Saturday, 23 December 2023 / 10 Jumada al-Thani 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
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, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: “Falanuĥyiyannahu Ĥayāatan Tayyibatan’‘. “We will surely cause him to live a good life.’’ (Qur’ān 16:97). For the people who believe in Allah, We will let them live a beautiful life in this world and an even better life in Akhirah”, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah gives peace in the hearts of those who obey Allah. He gives tranquility and beauty. And to those who don’t believe in Allah ‘Azza waJalla, He gives darkness and all kinds of unrest in their hearts. Those who are on the way of Allah might say,“We are on the way of Allah, but our hearts are not at peace. We are not happy with our lives”. There are many Muslim people who say so. Why is that? Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla: Sadaqa Allah, Sadaqa Allahu l-‘Azeem. Allah is the one who speaks the truth. It means those people don’t believe truly. They feel uneasy since their Iman is incomplete.
People with complete Iman, their hearts are at peace. Their life in this world is “Tayyibah”, He says. “Tayyibah” means beautiful and tranquil too. They are away from all kinds of unrest. Otherwise, you have an incompleteness, and that’s why you’re not happy with your life. “How are you?” Some of them say, “Not good at all”. Why? “Because of this and that”. It means you are not happy with Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. That is why you don’t have peace and tranquillity in your heart.One Sahabah
Page861
had come to our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. The Sahabah had a stomach ache. He told him to drink honey syrup. The Sahabah drank it and said, “I’m still sick”. He went once again, our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam told him to drink again. The Sahabah drank it again and said again “I don’t feel better.” He came for the fourth time. And when he said the same thing, our Holy Prophet said, “Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla tells the truth, and your stomach is lying.” He said, “Drink it again”. And when he drank it, his pain was gone.
This means when there is Iman, everything is good. Without Iman, or when your Iman is incomplete, there is unrest then, and your heart doesn’t have peace. Therefore, people must look inside themselves and ask, “Am I happy and content?” If you are happy, Shukr to Allah. Make Shukr to Allah for you have Iman then. Otherwise, pay attention to yourself. Iman is important. It is the greatest favor given to people. May Allah increase this favor to all of us. May our hearts be at peace.
May we have happiness here and hereafter Insha Allah.
