THE LESSON FROM AS’HAB AL-KAHF Wednesday, 22 November 2023 / 10 Jumada Al-Awwal 1445 Maqam and Masjid of As’hab Al-Kahf – Tarsus, Mersin, Turkey.
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, our Tariqah and the way of these holy ones is the way same way. It is the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi ssalam, there have been thousands and hundred thousands of righteous people, Awliya and Prophets. We are at the holy place of As’hab ulKahf, these holy ones praised by Allah ‘Azza wa-JallaInsha Allah. May their Barakah be upon us Insha Allah.
They had left Dunya. They stopped following Dunya, but Dunya didn’t stop following them. They were beloved people near the king. They were given all kinds of tests and instructions but not on the way of Allah. They didn’t agree with them. So they left everything and joined the true way, the way of Allah.
They left everything risking their lives and ran to Allah. People were astonishedabout where they could run. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed them the way. He said,FafirrūilāLlāh’,”So flee to Allah.’’ (Qur’ān 51:50). “Run to Allah.” He said so and it always applies. It was like this before, and it is like this now: the same place to flee to.
People nowadays are weary. They don’t know what to do. They think about doing this or that and what will happen. What will happen is whatever Allah says. As long as you are on the way of Allah, don’t be
Page794
afraid at all. Everyone will go to Akhirah eventually. Those who will win will be those who are on the way of Allah. If they get all the wealth in this world, there is no benefit.
Our region here which is called the Middle East is the place of the oldest of people. Millions and billions of people had lived here. Is anyone alive from them? None of them is alive. All of them are gone. Who has remained is Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Eventually, those who win are those who are with Allah. Who are not with Allah are not in profit, they are at loss.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla had put these youngsters to sleep for 313 years. He didn’t kill them but put them to sleep. And then, in order to show it as a lesson, as a miracle, in order to show it to people, He woke them up. They were present in this location and disappeared later by the wisdom of Allah. People who had lived here and who came after 300 years knew the way of truth. So they were happy to see this miracle of Allah. They built a Maqam and Masjid in this place later. This Masjid is holy.
There are many places of As’hab ul-Kahf. However, the most accepted one is here. Our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, may Allah جل جلاله increase his Maqam, and Hajjah Anne, Hajjah Aminah Sultan said they are revealed to be here. The real location is here, because there are 5-6 more places where As’hab ul-Kahf are claimed to have slept. But the real one is here. So Insha Allah Dua is accepted here. There is strength for Islam.
Who are on the way of Allah are always in profit, as we said. Be with Allah. Be with Al-Baqi (The Everlasting). Do not be with the temporary and the mortal. Who are the mortal ones? Those who are not on the way of Allah. Those who are on the way of Allah are immortal. Prophets are immortal. Awliya are immortal. Sahabah are immortal. Shaheeds are immortal. They are everlasting. Those who were against them are dead and gone whoever they were. To follow them brings no benefit unless they are on the way of Allah.May Allah help people. May Allah give mind and understanding. People should think well. People who think
Page795
certainly win. Why did Allah give mind to people and didn’t give it to animals? So that people think and win. Animals don’t need mind. Their duty is to eat and drink. Then edible ones from them will be eaten as service to people. Inedible ones have other duties given by Allah. But mankind is given mind by Allah. He gave them mind and understanding. If they don’t use it, they make a mistake and commit a sin. Because Allah says, “I gave you this favor. Why didn’t you do this? Why didn’t you use it? I gave you so many favors. Why didn’t you use them? You destroyed yourself. You ran after useless people. You ran away from My way and went after the way of shaytan”.
Everyone will die. Shaytan will die. Jinns will die. And people will die. To follow them is a mistake and danger if they are not on the way of Allah. Be on the way of Allah. Even if you cannot do everything, say “I cannot do it but I am not following these people. I am not following shaytan. I have mistakesand sins”. Allah will forgive. Allah is Forgiving. He forgives the sinners. But if you persist on your sins and say, “This is not right. I am right”, you will destroy yourself and lose everything.
May Allah give strength to our Iman. May Allah give strength to our mind as well. Mind is the adornment and decoration. The decoration of people is their mind. Those who have no mind and run after those are like a flock [of sheep]. The flock is even better than them. As we said, they have benefits, but these have harm.
May Allah help Islam. We are living in the end of times. There is Fitnah and immorality everywhere. They are showing badness as good and goodness as bad. They are shaming people as if it is embarrassing; they say words against those on the way of Allah and dislike them. Whereas as long as Allah likes them, the whole world may not like them, that is not important. What’s important is that you attain the pleasure of Allah.
“Ilahi Anta maqsudiwaRidakamatlubi”,“O, my Lord! You are my objective and Your Pleasure is my desire.” Our wish from Allah, all we ask for is You, O Allah Azza wa-Jalla! Your pleasure is our wish and goal.
Page796
What we want is Your pleasure. This is the most valuable thing. If you attain the pleasure of Allah, if you attain the pleasure and love of our Holy Prophet, that is very important. That is the most important thing. It is not only very important; it is the most important thing. Do not ignore it. Do not underestimate it.
They say now, “We are educated. My son has enrolled at university.” So what? He enrolled and what happened? He is swearing at you, swearing at his mother, swearing at his ancestors and his past. What he is taught is not a good thing. Why did it become so? Because you didn’t show importance to the way of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. You said the most important thing for your child is university, the most important thing is the school. University graduates are neither finding jobs, nor looking for jobs. If you talk about vocations (craft), no one wants vocations anymore. Everyone is arrogant. And those who studied a craft are not considered accepted, and they don’t find a job later. It is not important that they don’t find a job. What’s important is that they take in that poison, they accept that poison. That is the most dangerous thing. They can study and be useless, but they shouldn’t take that poison in. That is the important thing.
As we said, parents must pay attention to their children. They must show them, first of all, the way of Allah. Make them start praying when they are seven years old. Pay more attention [for prayer] when they are ten. Don’t be lazy and don’t get tired of saying “O my son, pray. O my daughter, pray. This is the way of Allah”. This is your duty at home.
May Allah help us. We are living in such a time that all of us, including us When babies are just one year old, their mothers give them these machines (phones) to watch and stop crying. They watch and mothers say, “I want to rest.” Afterwards, children concentrate their minds on other things and cannot talk. And then it becomes even worse and they don’t go out of their rooms. They don’t talk to anyone at the age of ten. As we said, the laziness of parents has reached its peak. Indolence has reached its peak. People don’t look even after their children.In old
Page797
times, women gave birth to 10-12 children and looked after everyone very well. Now they have both diapers and baby food and I don’t know what. Yet, that is not enough. They are lazy to look after one child. We ask that Allah sends the Sahib, nothing else. The world is out of joint and cannot hold itself. We see that not only here but the whole world is like this. We went as far as 10,000 km from here. Then we passed to the other side. From the North to the South, from the East to the West everywhere is the same. They call it global. Shaytan has put all of us in one mold. However women are in England, they are the same here. However they are in Japan, they are same in Malaysia and India. All of them are put in one mold and are told “You will follow this way”.
Insha Allah Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam will open the right way to us. We don’t have hope for anything else. But our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has good tidings that Mahdi‘alayhi s-salam will come in the end of times and improve everything. This is certain. He will improve and make the whole world Muslim Insha Allah. We have approached these days, because the soldiers of shaytan, soldiers of Dajjal have surrounded the world. Everywhere is full of them. There were no soldiers of Dajjal in old times; meaning they were very few. Nowadays more than half of normal people are soldiers of Dajjal.
Therefore, the time is certainly near. May he appear as soon as possible Insha Allah so that we see those beautiful days. May Allah let us all reach him.

STEADFASTNESS ON ALLAH’S WAY Thursday, 23 November 2023 / 9 Jumada al-Awwal 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 we went for a trip [to Southern Turkey] for the pleasure of Allah, and have returned safely. Insha AllahAllah accepts it. We visited both Maqams and our Mu’min, Mu’minah, Muslim brothers and followers.
The most accepted thing from people in the sight of Allah is giving peace andhappiness to the hearts of believers. Insha’Allah they were rejoiced. Shukr to Allah, even if once a year, we are still able to see them. Even if quickly, we still see them Shukr to Allah. In some trips, some people are probably able to see us only once in their lives, because they are very far. But here, Shukr to Allah, we can go every year even if it is once a year.
It is a blessing in Allah’s sight. It is beneficial both for us and for people who come for Allah’s pleasure, who want to follow the way of Allah and want to follow the way of our Holy Prophet. Allah is giving this to their hearts. And they benefit from it and we do.
What is important in this world is to be steadfast on the way of Allah. Steadfastness is important, because there are people and shaytan who want to mislead them. To follow this way is the greatest blessing. To follow the way of Allah is the greatest blessing. Do not go astray by
Page799
obeying your ego. Follow the way of our Holy Prophet, Sirat ulMustaqeem, the way shown by Allah as the right way. Do not go out of it.
How much worship should we perform? How much Tasbihat should we make? Do as much as you can. But what is important is that you are steadfast. Continuity on the way is important. As long as you don’t go out of the way, Allah has given you from Hisvirtues and generosity and you’ve got the greatest blessing. May Allah make it everlasting for all of us. May Allah accept it.

O BELIEVERS, YOU ARE SUPERIOR Friday, 24 November 2023 / 10 Jumada al-Awwal 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”Wa-lā tahinū wa-lā taḥzanū wa-antumu l-ʾalawna in kuntummuʾminīn’’. “So do not weaken and do not be sad, and you will be superior if you are [true]believers.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 03:139).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “Do not see yourself as low. Do not be upset. Do not be sad. You are up high. Your rank is high”. If you are a believer, do not see yourself as low among other people, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. A believer is above Kafirs and faithless ones with the permission of Allah. His rank is high.Nowadays, Kufr is the fashion in this world. Rejecting is the fashion, opposing Allah is the fashion. Do not think that is cool and do not imitate them. Do not be embarrassed in front of them, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They call it the pressure of the street. They are putting pressure on youngsters everywhere. They are despising youngsters who are on the right way. They are despicable themselves. They have no Iman and no value in the presence of Allah. Therefore, people with Iman can easily stand against them. What they say is false and has no value. They have built paper castles which will break down in a minute. They have no ruling. Do not conform to them. Do not accept what they say. They will accept it later.If you obey them, you will have prevented them from goodness and the right way. Invite
Page801
them to Iman. Let them learn about the truth. Let them not live in lies. People are spending all their lives in lies since their birth till they die. They are wasting and losing their lives, whereas those who are on the way of Allah are in profit since their first day up until they die. And their Akhirah is the most profitable. They will have lived with truth and not lies, not in illusion. Those who live in illusion are faithless and Kafirs. All their lives are meaningless. They build fake lives as they like which are absolutely useless. That is nothing but loss.
Therefore, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Your rank is high. The rank of believers is high. The despicable and low ones are the Kafirs without Iman”. May Allah not let us be from them. May our ranks always be high in the presence of Allah Insha Allah.
There mustn’t be humility in front of Kafirs. Humility must be shown in front of believers and Muslims.Therefore,never despise yourself in front of Kafirs. Do not ever do that. They are the despicable ones. May Allah give strength and Iman to all of us.
Insha Allah this is the advice to youngsters Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Ayat and Surahs, Yasin, Tasbihat, Tahlilat and Salawat from all over the world. We gift them firstly to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu lBayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Mu’mins and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives. May Allah accept it. May their good goals be reached. May they have strength of Iman. May they have abundance and Barakah. May there be cure.
May they be happy here and hereafter.
Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.

WAR THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES Saturday, 25 November 2023 / 11 Jumada al-Awwal 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 created people. When He created them, He put them in this world for a test. How does the test come? It comes through hardship. When He created people physically, He created the ego, and He created shaytan, Dunya and Hawa (desires) against them. These are the four enemies of people. While in this world, they struggle with these things. We are in war with them throughout our lives. It is Jihad against our egos, against shaytan, against Dunya and desires. We are in a war against them. They have other things as well like jealousy, envy, evil and all kinds of things that go together with them.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says to mankind, “When you win this war against them, you will go to paradise Insha Allah”. We will go to paradise Insha Allah, but what will happen to them? All of these things will remain up until we reach the door of Paradise and drink from the pool of Kawthar of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. When people go in and drink from it, all of these bad things will leave them. No badness enters paradise. Only clean people enter paradise; neither jealousy, nor envy towards others’ wealth and honor nor all kinds of bad things. As there is no ego by that time, shaytan cannot enter paradise too. Whatever there is inside people, all of them will be cleansed there. There is nothing apart from beauty and goodness in paradise.People certainly argue and fight here. They argue within their families and betweenspouses. It is the order of Allah. There
Page803
is not a person who doesn’t fight. But it doesn’t happen in paradise. There is no problem there. There is only comfort forever with beauty. Every bite is sweeter than the other, clothes are better than the others. It goes this way with the permission of Allah.
Therefore, we must always strive against these enemies in this world. We must do as much as we can so that whatever Allah wants happens and not what they want. Certainly, mankind does as much as they can. They commit sins and make mistakes in this world. But Allah ‘Azza waJalla will forgive them.
Therefore, we must know this. No one can do 100% of everything. Only Prophetsare infallible. And our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam is the last Prophet.Therefore, there are certainly nowadays mistakes done by the people who came after him. Most of us are sinful as well. Those sins are given by Allah in order to increase our ranks. When we repent and ask for forgiveness, He changes them into Thawab. May Allah help, be on His way, because without His help, it is hard for us.
May He give us the strength of Iman for the sake of our Holy Prophet Insha Allah.

THE CAUSE OF HARDSHIP TODAY Sunday, 26 November 2023 / 12 Jumada al-Awwal 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.
May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from Fitnah and the evil of this time. As we are living in the end of times, all kinds of hardship are occurring. Why is that? That is because of the rebellion of people against Allah. Because of them rebelling and going against Allah, all kinds of hardship are happening.
People who obey Allah will be protected. Otherwise, people who oppose Allah and think something of themselves, all kinds of disasters will come upon them. And the biggest disaster, bigger than the disasters and troubles happening to them, is their opposition against Allah. That is the biggest disaster. Rebelling against Allah is the biggest badness done to themselves. Those who are against Allah have nothing, no hope, nothing as victory. They are the people defeated by their egos, defeated by shaytan and defeated by their desires. Imitating and admiring them is stupidness. Allahwon’t let them have goodness in this world unless they repent. And they won’t have goodness in Akhirah. May Allah protect people from obeying their egos and obeying shaytan. There cannot be a worse thing.
As we said, we see all kinds of disasters in the world. As it is the end of times, things that had never happened before have happened in this time. In this time, to be patient and to be together with Allah is the big-
Page805
gest benefit for us. Even if difficulties occur, those difficulties are for your benefit. They don’t go in vain. Those who are with Allah are always in profit. They will always be in profit. Otherwise, those who are against Allah are always at loss and they will always be at loss. May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allah give us the strength of Iman. May He give guidance to people. We cannot ask for anything else for them. May He give them guidance. Their current troubles are enough for them. If they have guidance, they will be saved from them.
It has become a fashion among people now. ‘Fashion’ is from shaytan anyways. It is a fashion now to oppose Allah, to oppose our Holy Prophet. They think it is cool among children and youth, whereas they don’t know they are harming themselves. May Allah protect us.
May Allah give them guidance.

BEWARE OF THE BAD JAMA’AH Monday, 27 November 2023 / 13 Jumada al-Awwal 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: ”Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-LlahaWaKūnūMa’a s-Sādiqīn’’. “O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.’’(Qur’ān 09:119).Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “O believers, fear from Allah جل جلاله. Be with the truthful ones. Be with the right people”.
We must be so in all times. The time we are living in is the end of times. It is difficult to find such people. Besides, there are people who claim to be Hojjahs and teach other people. There are many people who consider themselves ‘Alims and make people do the opposite of what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. They are not ‘Alims but “Alimu Su“, “Bad scholar.” There are many people with the attributes of bad ‘Alims.
This occurred after the Ottomans. They had overthrew the Ottomans. The Ottomans were the castle of Islam. They destroyed it and want to finish this castle completely. They want to finish Islam by destroying belief with all kinds of Fitnah. This is the goal of shaytan. And those who are with shaytan are selling their Akhirah for this goal, for money, for fame and for all kinds of useless things.They are doing this for completely useless worldly things that are worth two pennies. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has cursed them. Prophets have cursed them. And Mu’mins have cursed them.A curse is not a good thing. It is the worst thing. A
Page807
cursed person will not have goodness forever. Therefore, people who go astray for money and for fame are not good people. Don’t believe them. Don’t go after them. The people you must go after are Tariqahs with the permission of Allah. That is Tariqah, Haqiqah (Reality) and Ma’rifah (Knowledge). This way is the beautiful way. It is the way of Shari’ah and the way of Madhhabs. Otherwise, people who appeared later and claim to be this and that bring no benefit. They bring harm. Even though they may seem beneficial in the beginning, they are exposed later. They harm people and destroy their belief. They take people away from the religion. May Allah protect us from the evil of bad ‘Alims, bad people and bad Jama’ah.
Those who have direct connection with our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are Tariqahs. There is no connection through others. That which goes up to our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, whichever Tariqah it is, certainly follows his way and reaches up to him But “Jama’ah” is newly made up. Allah knows how it is made, who .صلى الله عليه وسلم made it and whether it is good or bad. Those who seem good turn out to be bad later. May Allah protect us. The right way is Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah. And that accepts Awliya, Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah. It is the way that loves all of them.
May Allah let us serve on this way. May it be the guidance for people. May they come to this way Insha Allah.

UNDERSTAND THE LESSON FROM PHARAOH Wednesday, 29 November 2023 / 15 Jumada al-Awwal 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: ‘‘Faĥashara Fanādá (23) Faqāla `Anā Rabbukumu Al-`A`lá (24) Fa`akhadhahuAllāhuNakāla Al-`Ākhirati Wa Al-`Ūlá (25) Inna Fī Dhālika La`ibratan Liman Yakhshá’’ ”And he gathered [his people] and called out (23) And said, “I am your most exalted lord.“ (24) So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]. (25) Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].’’SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. (Qur’ān 79:23-26).
Everyone’s ego is a Pharaoh. When there is a chance, it does just like Pharaoh did. What did Pharaoh do? In the time of Musa ‘alayhi s-salam, he gathered his people and claimed, “I am your greatest Lord”. Pharaoh had obeyed his ego and saw people in front of him as slaves. His ego grew even larger and said “How great am I! I am your leader; I am your king”. That wasn’t enough, so at last he said, “I am your God”.
Ego is like this. The ego puts people in danger and ruins them. As we said, Allah‘Azza wa-Jalla is showing Pharaoh as a lesson. He is mentioning this in Qur’an ‘AzimushShan, ‘‘Inna Fī Dhālika La`ibratan Liman Yakhshá’’. ‘‘Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].’’ (Qur’ān 79:26). Let it be a lesson for those who fear Allah. Let it be an example for those who do not obey their egos. Allah ‘Azza waJalla gave this example so that mankind doesn’t see it as a skill and
Page809
doesn’t obey his ego. But they don’t understand from the example. Many people don’t understand.
There were Pharaohs at all times. They didn’t do what Allah ‘Azza waJalla said. Not doing wasn’t enough for them, so they went against Him, they banned Himand wanted to finish Him. However, they were finished themselves. They perished. This is a lesson. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says it is a lesson here and hereafter. Those people weren’t at peace in this world as well. They thought big of themselves by making oppression. They harmed people and prevented them from the way of Allah. Those who didn’t let people do what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla said but wanted them to do what they said perished too. If those who followed them don’t come to their senses, they will perish too.
This way is the way of Allah. Other ways will not save you. No other way will save you. Since the time of Pharaoh and the times before him, everyone has tried to turn to other ways. Those who did turn were destroyed. Those who went on the way of Allah were in profit and had entered the way of salvation. They are saved in this world and they are certainly saved in Akhirah Insha Allah. Those who went on other ways perished. May Allah protect us.
Clever people see the right way. The right way is an enormous way. It is going straight. It is clean and beautiful. It is apparent. You can see it with your eyes. But you are leaving it and turning to a useless dangerous way. Don’t turn there. Perverts turn away. May Allah protect us. May Allahprotect Muslims, children, youngsters, the elderly and everyone; because shaytan doesn’t care whether young or old, he is cheating everyone. May Allah protect us.
May Allah send us the Sahib Insha Allah.

THE LESSON FROM AS’HAB AL-KAHF Wednesday, 22 November 2023 / 10 Jumada Al-Awwal 1445 Maqam and Masjid of As’hab Al-Kahf – Tarsus, Mersin, Turkey.
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, our Tariqah and the way of these holy ones is the way same way. It is the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi ssalam, there have been thousands and hundred thousands of righteous people, Awliya and Prophets. We are at the holy place of As’hab ulKahf, these holy ones praised by Allah ‘Azza wa-JallaInsha Allah. May their Barakah be upon us Insha Allah.
They had left Dunya. They stopped following Dunya, but Dunya didn’t stop following them. They were beloved people near the king. They were given all kinds of tests and instructions but not on the way of Allah. They didn’t agree with them. So they left everything and joined the true way, the way of Allah.
They left everything risking their lives and ran to Allah. People were astonishedabout where they could run. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed them the way. He said,FafirrūilāLlāh’,”So flee to Allah.’’ (Qur’ān 51:50). “Run to Allah.” He said so and it always applies. It was like this before, and it is like this now: the same place to flee to.
People nowadays are weary. They don’t know what to do. They think about doing this or that and what will happen. What will happen is whatever Allah says. As long as you are on the way of Allah, don’t be
Page794
afraid at all. Everyone will go to Akhirah eventually. Those who will win will be those who are on the way of Allah. If they get all the wealth in this world, there is no benefit.
Our region here which is called the Middle East is the place of the oldest of people. Millions and billions of people had lived here. Is anyone alive from them? None of them is alive. All of them are gone. Who has remained is Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Eventually, those who win are those who are with Allah. Who are not with Allah are not in profit, they are at loss.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla had put these youngsters to sleep for 313 years. He didn’t kill them but put them to sleep. And then, in order to show it as a lesson, as a miracle, in order to show it to people, He woke them up. They were present in this location and disappeared later by the wisdom of Allah. People who had lived here and who came after 300 years knew the way of truth. So they were happy to see this miracle of Allah. They built a Maqam and Masjid in this place later. This Masjid is holy.
There are many places of As’hab ul-Kahf. However, the most accepted one is here. Our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, may Allah جل جلاله increase his Maqam, and Hajjah Anne, Hajjah Aminah Sultan said they are revealed to be here. The real location is here, because there are 5-6 more places where As’hab ul-Kahf are claimed to have slept. But the real one is here. So Insha Allah Dua is accepted here. There is strength for Islam.
Who are on the way of Allah are always in profit, as we said. Be with Allah. Be with Al-Baqi (The Everlasting). Do not be with the temporary and the mortal. Who are the mortal ones? Those who are not on the way of Allah. Those who are on the way of Allah are immortal. Prophets are immortal. Awliya are immortal. Sahabah are immortal. Shaheeds are immortal. They are everlasting. Those who were against them are dead and gone whoever they were. To follow them brings no benefit unless they are on the way of Allah.May Allah help people. May Allah give mind and understanding. People should think well. People who think
Page795
certainly win. Why did Allah give mind to people and didn’t give it to animals? So that people think and win. Animals don’t need mind. Their duty is to eat and drink. Then edible ones from them will be eaten as service to people. Inedible ones have other duties given by Allah. But mankind is given mind by Allah. He gave them mind and understanding. If they don’t use it, they make a mistake and commit a sin. Because Allah says, “I gave you this favor. Why didn’t you do this? Why didn’t you use it? I gave you so many favors. Why didn’t you use them? You destroyed yourself. You ran after useless people. You ran away from My way and went after the way of shaytan”.
Everyone will die. Shaytan will die. Jinns will die. And people will die. To follow them is a mistake and danger if they are not on the way of Allah. Be on the way of Allah. Even if you cannot do everything, say “I cannot do it but I am not following these people. I am not following shaytan. I have mistakesand sins”. Allah will forgive. Allah is Forgiving. He forgives the sinners. But if you persist on your sins and say, “This is not right. I am right”, you will destroy yourself and lose everything.
May Allah give strength to our Iman. May Allah give strength to our mind as well. Mind is the adornment and decoration. The decoration of people is their mind. Those who have no mind and run after those are like a flock [of sheep]. The flock is even better than them. As we said, they have benefits, but these have harm.
May Allah help Islam. We are living in the end of times. There is Fitnah and immorality everywhere. They are showing badness as good and goodness as bad. They are shaming people as if it is embarrassing; they say words against those on the way of Allah and dislike them. Whereas as long as Allah likes them, the whole world may not like them, that is not important. What’s important is that you attain the pleasure of Allah.
“Ilahi Anta maqsudiwaRidakamatlubi”,“O, my Lord! You are my objective and Your Pleasure is my desire.” Our wish from Allah, all we ask for is You, O Allah Azza wa-Jalla! Your pleasure is our wish and goal.
Page796
What we want is Your pleasure. This is the most valuable thing. If you attain the pleasure of Allah, if you attain the pleasure and love of our Holy Prophet, that is very important. That is the most important thing. It is not only very important; it is the most important thing. Do not ignore it. Do not underestimate it.
They say now, “We are educated. My son has enrolled at university.” So what? He enrolled and what happened? He is swearing at you, swearing at his mother, swearing at his ancestors and his past. What he is taught is not a good thing. Why did it become so? Because you didn’t show importance to the way of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. You said the most important thing for your child is university, the most important thing is the school. University graduates are neither finding jobs, nor looking for jobs. If you talk about vocations (craft), no one wants vocations anymore. Everyone is arrogant. And those who studied a craft are not considered accepted, and they don’t find a job later. It is not important that they don’t find a job. What’s important is that they take in that poison, they accept that poison. That is the most dangerous thing. They can study and be useless, but they shouldn’t take that poison in. That is the important thing.
As we said, parents must pay attention to their children. They must show them, first of all, the way of Allah. Make them start praying when they are seven years old. Pay more attention [for prayer] when they are ten. Don’t be lazy and don’t get tired of saying “O my son, pray. O my daughter, pray. This is the way of Allah”. This is your duty at home.
May Allah help us. We are living in such a time that all of us, including us When babies are just one year old, their mothers give them these machines (phones) to watch and stop crying. They watch and mothers say, “I want to rest.” Afterwards, children concentrate their minds on other things and cannot talk. And then it becomes even worse and they don’t go out of their rooms. They don’t talk to anyone at the age of ten. As we said, the laziness of parents has reached its peak. Indolence has reached its peak. People don’t look even after their children.In old
Page797
times, women gave birth to 10-12 children and looked after everyone very well. Now they have both diapers and baby food and I don’t know what. Yet, that is not enough. They are lazy to look after one child. We ask that Allah sends the Sahib, nothing else. The world is out of joint and cannot hold itself. We see that not only here but the whole world is like this. We went as far as 10,000 km from here. Then we passed to the other side. From the North to the South, from the East to the West everywhere is the same. They call it global. Shaytan has put all of us in one mold. However women are in England, they are the same here. However they are in Japan, they are same in Malaysia and India. All of them are put in one mold and are told “You will follow this way”.
Insha Allah Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam will open the right way to us. We don’t have hope for anything else. But our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has good tidings that Mahdi‘alayhi s-salam will come in the end of times and improve everything. This is certain. He will improve and make the whole world Muslim Insha Allah. We have approached these days, because the soldiers of shaytan, soldiers of Dajjal have surrounded the world. Everywhere is full of them. There were no soldiers of Dajjal in old times; meaning they were very few. Nowadays more than half of normal people are soldiers of Dajjal.
Therefore, the time is certainly near. May he appear as soon as possible Insha Allah so that we see those beautiful days. May Allah let us all reach him.

STEADFASTNESS ON ALLAH’S WAY Thursday, 23 November 2023 / 9 Jumada al-Awwal 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 we went for a trip [to Southern Turkey] for the pleasure of Allah, and have returned safely. Insha AllahAllah accepts it. We visited both Maqams and our Mu’min, Mu’minah, Muslim brothers and followers.
The most accepted thing from people in the sight of Allah is giving peace andhappiness to the hearts of believers. Insha’Allah they were rejoiced. Shukr to Allah, even if once a year, we are still able to see them. Even if quickly, we still see them Shukr to Allah. In some trips, some people are probably able to see us only once in their lives, because they are very far. But here, Shukr to Allah, we can go every year even if it is once a year.
It is a blessing in Allah’s sight. It is beneficial both for us and for people who come for Allah’s pleasure, who want to follow the way of Allah and want to follow the way of our Holy Prophet. Allah is giving this to their hearts. And they benefit from it and we do.
What is important in this world is to be steadfast on the way of Allah. Steadfastness is important, because there are people and shaytan who want to mislead them. To follow this way is the greatest blessing. To follow the way of Allah is the greatest blessing. Do not go astray by
Page799
obeying your ego. Follow the way of our Holy Prophet, Sirat ulMustaqeem, the way shown by Allah as the right way. Do not go out of it.
How much worship should we perform? How much Tasbihat should we make? Do as much as you can. But what is important is that you are steadfast. Continuity on the way is important. As long as you don’t go out of the way, Allah has given you from Hisvirtues and generosity and you’ve got the greatest blessing. May Allah make it everlasting for all of us. May Allah accept it.

O BELIEVERS, YOU ARE SUPERIOR Friday, 24 November 2023 / 10 Jumada al-Awwal 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”Wa-lā tahinū wa-lā taḥzanū wa-antumu l-ʾalawna in kuntummuʾminīn’’. “So do not weaken and do not be sad, and you will be superior if you are [true]believers.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 03:139).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “Do not see yourself as low. Do not be upset. Do not be sad. You are up high. Your rank is high”. If you are a believer, do not see yourself as low among other people, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. A believer is above Kafirs and faithless ones with the permission of Allah. His rank is high.Nowadays, Kufr is the fashion in this world. Rejecting is the fashion, opposing Allah is the fashion. Do not think that is cool and do not imitate them. Do not be embarrassed in front of them, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They call it the pressure of the street. They are putting pressure on youngsters everywhere. They are despising youngsters who are on the right way. They are despicable themselves. They have no Iman and no value in the presence of Allah. Therefore, people with Iman can easily stand against them. What they say is false and has no value. They have built paper castles which will break down in a minute. They have no ruling. Do not conform to them. Do not accept what they say. They will accept it later.If you obey them, you will have prevented them from goodness and the right way. Invite
Page801
them to Iman. Let them learn about the truth. Let them not live in lies. People are spending all their lives in lies since their birth till they die. They are wasting and losing their lives, whereas those who are on the way of Allah are in profit since their first day up until they die. And their Akhirah is the most profitable. They will have lived with truth and not lies, not in illusion. Those who live in illusion are faithless and Kafirs. All their lives are meaningless. They build fake lives as they like which are absolutely useless. That is nothing but loss.
Therefore, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Your rank is high. The rank of believers is high. The despicable and low ones are the Kafirs without Iman”. May Allah not let us be from them. May our ranks always be high in the presence of Allah Insha Allah.
There mustn’t be humility in front of Kafirs. Humility must be shown in front of believers and Muslims.Therefore,never despise yourself in front of Kafirs. Do not ever do that. They are the despicable ones. May Allah give strength and Iman to all of us.
Insha Allah this is the advice to youngsters Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Ayat and Surahs, Yasin, Tasbihat, Tahlilat and Salawat from all over the world. We gift them firstly to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu lBayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Mu’mins and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives. May Allah accept it. May their good goals be reached. May they have strength of Iman. May they have abundance and Barakah. May there be cure.
May they be happy here and hereafter.
Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.

WAR THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES Saturday, 25 November 2023 / 11 Jumada al-Awwal 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 created people. When He created them, He put them in this world for a test. How does the test come? It comes through hardship. When He created people physically, He created the ego, and He created shaytan, Dunya and Hawa (desires) against them. These are the four enemies of people. While in this world, they struggle with these things. We are in war with them throughout our lives. It is Jihad against our egos, against shaytan, against Dunya and desires. We are in a war against them. They have other things as well like jealousy, envy, evil and all kinds of things that go together with them.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says to mankind, “When you win this war against them, you will go to paradise Insha Allah”. We will go to paradise Insha Allah, but what will happen to them? All of these things will remain up until we reach the door of Paradise and drink from the pool of Kawthar of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. When people go in and drink from it, all of these bad things will leave them. No badness enters paradise. Only clean people enter paradise; neither jealousy, nor envy towards others’ wealth and honor nor all kinds of bad things. As there is no ego by that time, shaytan cannot enter paradise too. Whatever there is inside people, all of them will be cleansed there. There is nothing apart from beauty and goodness in paradise.People certainly argue and fight here. They argue within their families and betweenspouses. It is the order of Allah. There
Page803
is not a person who doesn’t fight. But it doesn’t happen in paradise. There is no problem there. There is only comfort forever with beauty. Every bite is sweeter than the other, clothes are better than the others. It goes this way with the permission of Allah.
Therefore, we must always strive against these enemies in this world. We must do as much as we can so that whatever Allah wants happens and not what they want. Certainly, mankind does as much as they can. They commit sins and make mistakes in this world. But Allah ‘Azza waJalla will forgive them.
Therefore, we must know this. No one can do 100% of everything. Only Prophetsare infallible. And our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam is the last Prophet.Therefore, there are certainly nowadays mistakes done by the people who came after him. Most of us are sinful as well. Those sins are given by Allah in order to increase our ranks. When we repent and ask for forgiveness, He changes them into Thawab. May Allah help, be on His way, because without His help, it is hard for us.
May He give us the strength of Iman for the sake of our Holy Prophet Insha Allah.

THE CAUSE OF HARDSHIP TODAY Sunday, 26 November 2023 / 12 Jumada al-Awwal 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.
May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from Fitnah and the evil of this time. As we are living in the end of times, all kinds of hardship are occurring. Why is that? That is because of the rebellion of people against Allah. Because of them rebelling and going against Allah, all kinds of hardship are happening.
People who obey Allah will be protected. Otherwise, people who oppose Allah and think something of themselves, all kinds of disasters will come upon them. And the biggest disaster, bigger than the disasters and troubles happening to them, is their opposition against Allah. That is the biggest disaster. Rebelling against Allah is the biggest badness done to themselves. Those who are against Allah have nothing, no hope, nothing as victory. They are the people defeated by their egos, defeated by shaytan and defeated by their desires. Imitating and admiring them is stupidness. Allahwon’t let them have goodness in this world unless they repent. And they won’t have goodness in Akhirah. May Allah protect people from obeying their egos and obeying shaytan. There cannot be a worse thing.
As we said, we see all kinds of disasters in the world. As it is the end of times, things that had never happened before have happened in this time. In this time, to be patient and to be together with Allah is the big-
Page805
gest benefit for us. Even if difficulties occur, those difficulties are for your benefit. They don’t go in vain. Those who are with Allah are always in profit. They will always be in profit. Otherwise, those who are against Allah are always at loss and they will always be at loss. May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allah give us the strength of Iman. May He give guidance to people. We cannot ask for anything else for them. May He give them guidance. Their current troubles are enough for them. If they have guidance, they will be saved from them.
It has become a fashion among people now. ‘Fashion’ is from shaytan anyways. It is a fashion now to oppose Allah, to oppose our Holy Prophet. They think it is cool among children and youth, whereas they don’t know they are harming themselves. May Allah protect us.
May Allah give them guidance.

BEWARE OF THE BAD JAMA’AH Monday, 27 November 2023 / 13 Jumada al-Awwal 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: ”Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-LlahaWaKūnūMa’a s-Sādiqīn’’. “O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.’’(Qur’ān 09:119).Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “O believers, fear from Allah جل جلاله. Be with the truthful ones. Be with the right people”.
We must be so in all times. The time we are living in is the end of times. It is difficult to find such people. Besides, there are people who claim to be Hojjahs and teach other people. There are many people who consider themselves ‘Alims and make people do the opposite of what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. They are not ‘Alims but “Alimu Su“, “Bad scholar.” There are many people with the attributes of bad ‘Alims.
This occurred after the Ottomans. They had overthrew the Ottomans. The Ottomans were the castle of Islam. They destroyed it and want to finish this castle completely. They want to finish Islam by destroying belief with all kinds of Fitnah. This is the goal of shaytan. And those who are with shaytan are selling their Akhirah for this goal, for money, for fame and for all kinds of useless things.They are doing this for completely useless worldly things that are worth two pennies. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has cursed them. Prophets have cursed them. And Mu’mins have cursed them.A curse is not a good thing. It is the worst thing. A
Page807
cursed person will not have goodness forever. Therefore, people who go astray for money and for fame are not good people. Don’t believe them. Don’t go after them. The people you must go after are Tariqahs with the permission of Allah. That is Tariqah, Haqiqah (Reality) and Ma’rifah (Knowledge). This way is the beautiful way. It is the way of Shari’ah and the way of Madhhabs. Otherwise, people who appeared later and claim to be this and that bring no benefit. They bring harm. Even though they may seem beneficial in the beginning, they are exposed later. They harm people and destroy their belief. They take people away from the religion. May Allah protect us from the evil of bad ‘Alims, bad people and bad Jama’ah.
Those who have direct connection with our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are Tariqahs. There is no connection through others. That which goes up to our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, whichever Tariqah it is, certainly follows his way and reaches up to him But “Jama’ah” is newly made up. Allah knows how it is made, who .صلى الله عليه وسلم made it and whether it is good or bad. Those who seem good turn out to be bad later. May Allah protect us. The right way is Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah. And that accepts Awliya, Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah. It is the way that loves all of them.
May Allah let us serve on this way. May it be the guidance for people. May they come to this way Insha Allah.

UNDERSTAND THE LESSON FROM PHARAOH Wednesday, 29 November 2023 / 15 Jumada al-Awwal 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: ‘‘Faĥashara Fanādá (23) Faqāla `Anā Rabbukumu Al-`A`lá (24) Fa`akhadhahuAllāhuNakāla Al-`Ākhirati Wa Al-`Ūlá (25) Inna Fī Dhālika La`ibratan Liman Yakhshá’’ ”And he gathered [his people] and called out (23) And said, “I am your most exalted lord.“ (24) So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]. (25) Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].’’SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. (Qur’ān 79:23-26).
Everyone’s ego is a Pharaoh. When there is a chance, it does just like Pharaoh did. What did Pharaoh do? In the time of Musa ‘alayhi s-salam, he gathered his people and claimed, “I am your greatest Lord”. Pharaoh had obeyed his ego and saw people in front of him as slaves. His ego grew even larger and said “How great am I! I am your leader; I am your king”. That wasn’t enough, so at last he said, “I am your God”.
Ego is like this. The ego puts people in danger and ruins them. As we said, Allah‘Azza wa-Jalla is showing Pharaoh as a lesson. He is mentioning this in Qur’an ‘AzimushShan, ‘‘Inna Fī Dhālika La`ibratan Liman Yakhshá’’. ‘‘Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].’’ (Qur’ān 79:26). Let it be a lesson for those who fear Allah. Let it be an example for those who do not obey their egos. Allah ‘Azza waJalla gave this example so that mankind doesn’t see it as a skill and
Page809
doesn’t obey his ego. But they don’t understand from the example. Many people don’t understand.
There were Pharaohs at all times. They didn’t do what Allah ‘Azza waJalla said. Not doing wasn’t enough for them, so they went against Him, they banned Himand wanted to finish Him. However, they were finished themselves. They perished. This is a lesson. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says it is a lesson here and hereafter. Those people weren’t at peace in this world as well. They thought big of themselves by making oppression. They harmed people and prevented them from the way of Allah. Those who didn’t let people do what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla said but wanted them to do what they said perished too. If those who followed them don’t come to their senses, they will perish too.
This way is the way of Allah. Other ways will not save you. No other way will save you. Since the time of Pharaoh and the times before him, everyone has tried to turn to other ways. Those who did turn were destroyed. Those who went on the way of Allah were in profit and had entered the way of salvation. They are saved in this world and they are certainly saved in Akhirah Insha Allah. Those who went on other ways perished. May Allah protect us.
Clever people see the right way. The right way is an enormous way. It is going straight. It is clean and beautiful. It is apparent. You can see it with your eyes. But you are leaving it and turning to a useless dangerous way. Don’t turn there. Perverts turn away. May Allah protect us. May Allahprotect Muslims, children, youngsters, the elderly and everyone; because shaytan doesn’t care whether young or old, he is cheating everyone. May Allah protect us.
May Allah send us the Sahib Insha Allah.
