Suhbah 2023: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (375 suhbah, 886 pages, 6/50)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=8389
This Ayah is telling about the whole situation of our time. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:‘‘Qul Hal Nunabbi`ukum Bil `Akhsarīna `A`mālāan (103) AlLadhīna Đalla Sa`yuhum Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Hum Yaĥsabūna `Annahum Yuĥsinūna Şun`āan’’. “Say, [O Muhammad], “Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds? (103) [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.’’(Qur’ān 18:103-104).
“Shall We inform you who is the one in the greatest loss?” says Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Who are the people in biggest loss in this world? Who are the disappointed people? They do things according to their own minds. They live and do all kinds of things thinking this is the life. They live in Kufr and misguidance. And they strive to lead people to become like themselves. They get happy thinking they are doing great things.
None of their work is useful. It has no benefit. Leave aside the benefit, it brings only loss. They are harming all people and harming themselves. They think they are doing something important throughout their lives. But they lead people to bad ways alienating them from Allah and our Holy Prophet, alienating them from Islam and goodness.“You live as you like. You are clever. You are modern. Don’t look at others”.
Page777
They say so and favor themselves all the time. Eventually, there will be disappointment, loss and all their lives will have gone in vain. Apart from going in vain, they will have led a life full of sins. They are the ones who are in the biggest loss.
They think they are good and are doing well. But eventually For example, it is as if they fill the test paper with mistakes from beginning to the end for 2-3 hours and submit it. La Tashbih/no comparison but it is as if they submit it happily with the hope of getting 100% result. The teachers or those who check if it’s right or wrong look at it and see it is full of mistakes from beginning to the end with no one right answer. “You failed the class. The whole year have been wasted for you”. Just like they get shocked when they hear this, they will be even more shocked in Akhirah.Therefore, beware of following the ideas of such people, such men or women whoever they are. They will be destroyed themselves anyway. Don’t let them destroy you. May Allah protect us.
There is a lot of them in this time. They look glamorous and speak nicely, so peoplethink their ideas are modern. They are people against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the religion, those who will have the biggest loss.May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allahgive guidance to people Insha Allah. We wish that Allah protect us, because if Allah protect us, we will be saved. Otherwise, people are going after them thinking they are important ones. As we said, they will be shocked in the end. May Allah protect us.
May Allahprotect the Ummah Insha Allah,especially youngsters. Youngsters don’t like the elderly. They think they are When they get old and come to their senses, they will regret it. And if they don’t regret it, they will perish and be gone.
May Allah protect us.

MERCY IS ONLY IN ISLAM Tuesday, 14 November 2023 / 30 Rabi’ Al-Akhir 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 d-Dīna indaAllāhi l Islām’’ “Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.’’ (Qur’ān 03:19).
The religion in the sight of Allahis Islam. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until Qiyamah and forever, the religion of Islam is the religion ordered by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. There is no other religion. Why? Because Islam is the religion of mercy.
All Prophets had come with compassion and mercy. They had come with the names of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla: Ar Rahman (The Most Beneficent), Ar-Rahim (The Most Merciful) in order for humanity to have goodness. Both to humanity and to all kinds of creatures. Mercy is the first order in the religion of Islam. Even in war, it is forbidden in Islam to kill old people and children. Mercy from Allah should be upon them.Kafirs have no such thing as mercy. They do whatever their egos want. They leave neither people, nor animals, nor any land. Their goal is their egos. They are capable of doing everything for their egos. In Islam, you must put your ego behind. You must not give any value to your ego and not do anything it wants. When you do so, you will be a human. Otherwise, if you follow your ego, you become worse than a wild animal. May Allah protect us.
Page779
The whole world sees it, but Kafirs don’t care. They say it is ok. When it comes to them, they raise hell over the tiniest thing. They complain about not being allowed to talk or something else. On the other hand, they want to openly extinguish people, animals and everything there is. Allah will help. Allah is together with Muslims.
There is goodness in everything. Even though it is evil, there will be goodness eventually Insha Allah.The Sahib of the end of times will come Insha Allah. When the Sahib comes, there will be peace then. This world will reach peace only then. There cannot be peace with badness. Badness comes with badness. And goodness comes with goodness. May Allah let us reach those days as soon as possible Insha Allah.
May Allah protect Muslims Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Khatms, Tasbihat, Salawat, Tahlilat, Surahs and Ayat. We giftthem to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives. Today is urs of Hajji Metin’s mother.

For goodness to come and evil to be gone, for the victory of Islam, with the intention of the appearance of Sahibu z-Zaman, to live in abundance and Barakah, to have strength of Iman.

MAKE YOUR WEALTH BENEFICIAL FOR AKHIRAH Wednesday, 15 November 2023 / 1 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: “Al-Mālu Wa Al-Banūna Zīnatu AlĤayāati Ad-Dunyā, Wa AlBāqiyātu Aş-Şāliĥātu Khayrun `Inda Rabbika Thawābāan Wa Khayrun `Amalā’,‘‘Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 18:46).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says the commodities of this world, money, property, wealth, children and whatever else there is are adornments of this world. These are the things people run after. The good ones among them are those which can be taken to Akhirah.Everything will be gone. But all the Bāqiyāt (enduring good deeds) go to Akhirah and stay there. You will have loved and run after the rest for nothing. Unless you do it for Akhirah, there is no benefit in it, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.It is said there will be a lot of money in the end of times. But money has no value anymore. Even though it has no more value, shaytan makes people run after money more just in order to make them busy. It is as air now, you can’t touch it anymore. In old times, there was gold and silver. They were truely valuable. Paper money was brought up instead of them, and it is useless. Nevertheless, it was tangible. They don’t want that as well now.They want to remove paper money and put in their place what you can’t touch and is inthe air, “You have so many millions in
Page781
your bank account. You have trillions in your bankaccount.” But they don’t have anything with them.There is no benefit in Dunya for people who run after it. When you use from the Halal (permissible) for your Akhirah, that will be beneficial for you. You will have them there. Otherwise, you will have nothing. Normally, nothing remains after you, but people now don’t have any money in their hands anymore even in this world.
Therefore, clever people must think about how to make their wealth beneficial and remain eternally and permanent in Akhirah. And that is what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed. If you do that, you will be in benefit. If you don’t do, there will be no benefit at all.
There was a man we had worked with Nefel Bey, may Allah bless his soul. He had industrial machines. One man came to him, as he had several machines he wanted to sell. While thinking about selling them or not,he passed away. So they were left to his sons. They sold them within two months and used up all the money and goods. It had no benefit neither to him, nor to others, nor to his children.You must have good wealth and you must have good children so that you benefit from them. May Allah let all of us have good righteous children, good money and possessions Insha Allah. May we have their benefit. May they not be useless Insha Allah.
People are running after their egos now. Even if you enjoy this money and have fun with it today, tomorrow you will want the same. But you won’t be able to have it then. Do you think it will last when you please yourself? It will be over instantly. Allah Azza wa-Jalla is showing and giving examples to all people. But people who run after their egos will not have any goodness both here and hereafter.
May Allah protect us.

PARADISE IS UNDER MOTHERS’ FEET Thursday, 16 November 2023 / 2 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.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:Paradise is under the feet of mothers. Mothers are the most important persons in Islam. The Sahabah approached our Holy Prophetand asked, “Whom should I respect. He said, “Your mother”. He asked again, “Whom should I respect?” He replied again, “Your mother”. He asked this several times and at last he said, “Respect your father as well”.
The right of a mother is huge. It cannot be paid. The hearts of mothers are full of love towards their children and people. Whoever shows respect to them shows respect to Allah and our Holy Prophet, because they strive to bring up good people. No mother wants her children to grow up to be bad. She wants them to grow up as good. Therefore, the first nursery, Madrasah and school is the mother.She needs to bring up good people so that they bring up good people too. They must bring up people on the way of Allah so that they bring benefit to the Ummah and help them. Certainly, as not everyone is on the way of Allah humanity, sometimes it is dangerous. There are the ones who mislead and the ones who guide to the right path. May Allah ‘Azza wa-JallaInsha Allah give good mothers in order to bring up good generations.Today is the Urs of Hajjah Anne. May Allah be pleased with her. She had carried all the burden of Tariqah. She had carried the burden of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim.She never complained. She always served our brothers and
Page783
served our Shaykh. She took care of the brothers, Dergah and everything every time he left for a journey. She was from the rare people. The burden of Tariqah is not light. She often took this burden on her shoulders and carried it. May paradise be her abode.It has been nineteen years now. These nineteen years have passed instantly. Moredays and years are passing. Certainly, it is not a separation forever. Certainly, Insha Allah we will meet all together in paradise and live forever Insha Allah. This world is temporary. No one will stay forever in this world.I had a little baby sister. She passed away when she was two years old.We witnessed death for the first time then. I was around five years then. Hajjah Anne said,“We will meet each other again. She is gone down to the grave and up to paradise from there. All of us will be there”. The matter of death is not about separation since then but about the meeting place. Worldly days pass by quickly. As long as there is preparation for Akhirah, it is by the order of Allah, it is the Sunnah of Allah for mankind. Certainly, there will be paradise for all of us after death Insha Allah. May their Maqams be high.
There are recited Khatms for her. May Allah be pleased with our brothers, they showed respect and loved Hajjah Anne. We gift these recited Khatms, Yasin, Ayat, Surahs and Tasbihat, all of them firstly to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives, especially our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, our mother Hajjah Amina Sultan, Hala Sultan. We gift them to souls of all Awliya and Sahabahs, female Sahabahs, wives our Holy Prophet souls of the mothers of believers, all Muslims and Muslimahs, Mumins and, Mu’minahs, to the souls of our late relatives. May it reach them Insha Allah. May it be the means for goodness.
May it be the remedy for the sick. May we all have happiness here and hereafter.

LUCKY IS WHO PERFORMS WORSHIP Friday, 17 November 2023 / 3 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.
We heard a beautiful Hadith Sharif of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam the other day. The best and most accepted of all worship is when you perform the Friday morning prayer in Jama’ah. Shukr to Allah, every Friday is a holiday. And the gift of the holiday is the morning prayer. The morning prayer performed in Jama’ah has a very big reward in the sight of Allah. It is very much accepted. It is a worship with great virtue.
Worship is a favor given to us by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Whoever is successful in performing it is a lucky person. Rather than those who have a lot of money; having a lot of money and being on the right way is also good. But the person who knows Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, honors Allah and does what He says is the lucky one. Otherwise, the most unluckyperson is who has everything in this world but has no obedience to Allah, no worship and doesn’t recognize Him. He is truly the most unfortunate person. Therefore, lucky is the person who performs worship. Allah has given him a big favor and shown him generosity so that he walks on Hisway.This world has no value at all. It has no worth. Unless you are on the way of Allah, it is not luck but bad luck. People who are on the way of Allah are lucky ones. Even if they are poor and have nothing, as long as they are on the way of Allah, how lucky are they! How lucky are those who are on the way of Allah! There is no happiness in
Page785
other things. Whomever you follow, unless you are on the way of Allah, you are not happy. You will not have goodness neither here nor hereafter.
There are still opportunities to turn to the right way in this world. There is a chance to turn to the way of Allah. However, when you close your eyes, you will miss that chance. May Allah protect all of us. May He keep us steadfast on His right path Insha Allah. May Allah not let us go astray. There are many of those who are going astray. May Allah protect us. There are many of those who obey their egos and go astray. May Allah protect us.
May we be on the right way Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are lots of Khatms made for the occasion of the Urs of Hajjah Anne. May Allah be pleased with our brothers, they’ve made thousands of Khatms from all over the world.
They recited Salawat, Tasbihat, Yasin, Surahs. We gift all of these Surahs, Ayat, Khatms, Tasbihat, Salawat firstly to our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Hajjah Anne, souls of our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.
We gift them to souls of all Muslims and Mumins. May they reach them. May there be Shifa’ (cure), light and Iman, strength and happiness here and hereafter.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE HYPOCRITE Saturday, 18 November 2023 / 4 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: “Inna Al-Munāfiqīna Fī Ad-Darki Al`Asfali Mina An-Nāri’’. “Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire.’’ (Qur’ān 04:145).
Hypocrites are in the lowest part of hell, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Because those who appear like Muslims but harm Muslims are hypocrites. They are the most disliked people of Allah. Hypocrites existed in the time of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Even though he knew, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was patient.
People nowadays are like this. They know Muslims as enemies. They show hostility towards them and appear like them even though they are not. They are always there. Allah’s rage will be upon them. When it is Kafir, you know that he is Kafir and adjust yourself accordingly. But when it is a hypocrite, he appears like he is more Muslim than you. That is in order to destroy Islam. Who are they? They are the enemies of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, they don’t love him صلى الله عليه وسلم. How shall we recognize them?When you make Salawat, or when you show love to our Holy Prophet, they say you are Mushrik and Kafir. They are the people who keep you away from this great virtue.We won’t enter paradise with our deeds. But we will enter it with love. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said a person will be with whom
Page787
he loves. Therefore, their main goal is to remove this love and lead people to hell. Without the love of our Holy Prophet, a person has no value. None of his actions has any benefit. The most necessary thing people need for their Akhirah and for paradise is the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.With love we attain his intercession. Otherwise, if you are together with hypocrites, you are in trouble then. Something bad will happen to you for sure. May Allah protect us. May He protect us from the hypocrites.
Hypocrites are the ones who attack more than Kafirs everywhere. They multiplied after the Ottomans. They had existed before that. But afterwards, they became much more. May Allah protect us from their evil. May we always have the love of our Holy Prophet in our hearts. The love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is Fard. Our Holy Prophet says, “You cannot reach true Iman unless you love me more than your mother, father and yourself”. Your Iman is not complete then.
Therefore, may we have everlasting love towards our Holy Prophet in our hearts so that our Iman is strong Insha Allah.

RAIN IS BY HIS ORDER Sunday, 19 November 2023 / 5 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: ”Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Yunazzilu AlGhaytha Min Ba`di MāQanatū Wa Yanshuru Raĥmatahu Wa Huwa AlWalīyu Al-Ĥamīd’’. ‘‘And it is He who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads His mercy. And He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.’‘ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 42:28).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying He makes it rain when people lose their hopes. Whenever He wants; rain is in His hands.
They say this is happening, that is happening. But without the order of Allah even a drop of rain will not fall. Everything happens with the order of Allah. Every drop and every atom moves with the order of Allah. Without His order, people may strive with nonsense things as much as they want. “We will throw a bomb and it will rain and we’ll produce water”. They did it and it was useless. People who don’t believe in Allah did this many times thirty years ago. It was completely useless. People died from drought. And then with the permission of Allah, with Dua, Allah showed mercy and sent rain. If Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t want it, He won’t make rain. Why? There may be drought and difficulties, people may die of famine without the mercy of Allah.Rain is the mercy of Allah. We must make Shukr to Allah. People either forget about this, or they have never experienced such a thing and don’t think
Page789
about it at all. They think there will always be rain. It is possible not to happen too. In the time of Sayyidina Yusuf, it hadn’t rained for seven years. That is possible. There is nothing impossible in this world. When there is no order from Allah nothing happens.
May Allah send us Barakah. May He send us goodness Insha Allah. No one can stand against whatever He sends. And when He cuts it, no one can open it, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. May Allah give Barakah. May He give His Barakah with goodness. And may He not test us with shortage and draught. May He help people. Fire is falling down on them now. May Allah protect them. May Allah rescue these people.
May Allah send the Sahib to all of us.

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR ABODE IN DUNYA Monday, 20 November 2023 / 8 Jumada Al-Awwal 1445 Isha Prayer – Alanya, 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.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “O you who believe, be with the truthful and good ones.” This is His order. Stay away from bad people. No benefit comes from bad people, only harm. Goodness never comes from bad people. Their evil is contagious.
Therefore, the time we are living in is the end of times. We always repeat this, because what our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam had said, all signs are appearing one by one in this time up to their smallest details. And the worst is that people of this time cheat other people. They think they are doing good and that they are following good people. They cheat them showing the bad as good, and they show the good as bad. They harm people from both sides. People are both cheated and shown the bad as good.
Even when people go to the market, if they put better vegetables on top and worse ones in the bottom, people get bothered. They fight about it and leave without buying them. These apparent things are not so important; they are the food for the body. But they are giving the truly harmful things to people from day to night.
People who think they are the smartest, educated or learnt ones who think they are very clever, university students, college students. Small
Page791
children are cleverer than them. Students of elementary and middle schools are much cleverer. They are at least more innocent and know better. But when they grow up and shaytan jumps on to ride them, they think there is no one more intelligent than them. They think there is no person who knows the job better than them and understands it, whereas shaytan is down on their necks and swinging his legs. He hits from the right to go to the left and hits from the left to go to the right. He plays with them as he likes. He misleads them as he likes.
They see themselves as intelligent and say with arrogance, “I am a universitystudent. These idiots hardly ever finished elementary school. They are not as clever as I am. They are torturing themselves by praying five times a day. They stay hungry by fasting. They are giving their money to others for nothing.” They think they are clever. Whereas, the clever ones are the people whom they call idiots, for they are building up their Akhirah. Their Dunya is thriving as well. But their Akhirah is more important.
Therefore, in this time Indeed, more and more ignorant people are brought up every year. There are more people who go astray. There are more people wholike badness, people who like poison, people who like all kinds of Haram (forbidden) things. They are becoming more and more. May Allah protect us. We are living in the end of times. Their evil is huge. May Allah protect us from their evil. May the children not obey them.
The matter is not about the quantity. Even if all people go against Allah ‘Azza wa-JallaLet alone people, our whole world is not even dust inside the universe. It cannot be even its dust. It is that small. Yet, they are challenging Allah,with their arrogance. Who are you! Not only you, what is this whole worldwhat is the whole universe in front of the power of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla! They are not even zero. Therefore, clever people obey Allah and conform to Allah, they make sajida to Allah The rest is not worth being prostrated before them or being conformed to, whoever they are. Conform to those who are on the way of Allah and
Page792
walk on their way. Their way is the good way both to humanity and to Muslims; to everyone. The way of Allah is good.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says,“Wa la-daru l-Akhirati Khayr”“And the home of the Hereafter is better.’‘ (Qur’ān 16:30).
The home of Akhirah is better. The home of Dunya is temporary. You have to make it prosperous as well.They say, “Abode is in Dunya and Iman is in Akhirah”. Brighten up your abode here with Iman and Islam. Make it prosperous so that your Akhirah is prosperous as well. This is it.
We see that many people are sometimes embarrassed to say they are on the way of Allah in front of each other. What is it to be embarrassed of? Those who must be embarrassed are the people who are not on the way of Allah Embarrassed must be people who run after shaytan. Those who follow him are disgraced in this world. There is no benefit. They attain nothing but loss.Even though people know this, they are still cheated. If they are cheated, it means they are mentally deficient. Clever people must think. If they think, Allah will surely help them. He will show them the way of truth, and they will walk on that way. May Allah show the way of truth to these people, these youngsters.Youngsters don’t like anyone the most. As they don’t like anyone except themselves, they are at loss. May Allah protect them. There is experience to be attained by youngsters. If Allah gives them a long life, they will look around.
There are many youngsters who regret what they did. Insha Allah may they regret as well, may they repent and come to the right way Insha Allah. May Allah protect us.
May Allah protect us from the evil of shaytan.

This Ayah is telling about the whole situation of our time. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:‘‘Qul Hal Nunabbi`ukum Bil `Akhsarīna `A`mālāan (103) AlLadhīna Đalla Sa`yuhum Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Hum Yaĥsabūna `Annahum Yuĥsinūna Şun`āan’’. “Say, [O Muhammad], “Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds? (103) [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.’’(Qur’ān 18:103-104).
“Shall We inform you who is the one in the greatest loss?” says Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Who are the people in biggest loss in this world? Who are the disappointed people? They do things according to their own minds. They live and do all kinds of things thinking this is the life. They live in Kufr and misguidance. And they strive to lead people to become like themselves. They get happy thinking they are doing great things.
None of their work is useful. It has no benefit. Leave aside the benefit, it brings only loss. They are harming all people and harming themselves. They think they are doing something important throughout their lives. But they lead people to bad ways alienating them from Allah and our Holy Prophet, alienating them from Islam and goodness.“You live as you like. You are clever. You are modern. Don’t look at others”.

They say so and favor themselves all the time. Eventually, there will be disappointment, loss and all their lives will have gone in vain. Apart from going in vain, they will have led a life full of sins. They are the ones who are in the biggest loss.
They think they are good and are doing well. But eventually For example, it is as if they fill the test paper with mistakes from beginning to the end for 2-3 hours and submit it. La Tashbih/no comparison but it is as if they submit it happily with the hope of getting 100% result. The teachers or those who check if it’s right or wrong look at it and see it is full of mistakes from beginning to the end with no one right answer. “You failed the class. The whole year have been wasted for you”. Just like they get shocked when they hear this, they will be even more shocked in Akhirah.Therefore, beware of following the ideas of such people, such men or women whoever they are. They will be destroyed themselves anyway. Don’t let them destroy you. May Allah protect us.
There is a lot of them in this time. They look glamorous and speak nicely, so peoplethink their ideas are modern. They are people against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the religion, those who will have the biggest loss.May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allahgive guidance to people Insha Allah. We wish that Allah protect us, because if Allah protect us, we will be saved. Otherwise, people are going after them thinking they are important ones. As we said, they will be shocked in the end. May Allah protect us.
May Allahprotect the Ummah Insha Allah,especially youngsters. Youngsters don’t like the elderly. They think they are When they get old and come to their senses, they will regret it. And if they don’t regret it, they will perish and be gone.
May Allah protect us.

MERCY IS ONLY IN ISLAM Tuesday, 14 November 2023 / 30 Rabi’ Al-Akhir 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 d-Dīna indaAllāhi l Islām’’ “Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.’’ (Qur’ān 03:19).
The religion in the sight of Allahis Islam. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until Qiyamah and forever, the religion of Islam is the religion ordered by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. There is no other religion. Why? Because Islam is the religion of mercy.
All Prophets had come with compassion and mercy. They had come with the names of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla: Ar Rahman (The Most Beneficent), Ar-Rahim (The Most Merciful) in order for humanity to have goodness. Both to humanity and to all kinds of creatures. Mercy is the first order in the religion of Islam. Even in war, it is forbidden in Islam to kill old people and children. Mercy from Allah should be upon them.Kafirs have no such thing as mercy. They do whatever their egos want. They leave neither people, nor animals, nor any land. Their goal is their egos. They are capable of doing everything for their egos. In Islam, you must put your ego behind. You must not give any value to your ego and not do anything it wants. When you do so, you will be a human. Otherwise, if you follow your ego, you become worse than a wild animal. May Allah protect us.
Page779
The whole world sees it, but Kafirs don’t care. They say it is ok. When it comes to them, they raise hell over the tiniest thing. They complain about not being allowed to talk or something else. On the other hand, they want to openly extinguish people, animals and everything there is. Allah will help. Allah is together with Muslims.
There is goodness in everything. Even though it is evil, there will be goodness eventually Insha Allah.The Sahib of the end of times will come Insha Allah. When the Sahib comes, there will be peace then. This world will reach peace only then. There cannot be peace with badness. Badness comes with badness. And goodness comes with goodness. May Allah let us reach those days as soon as possible Insha Allah.
May Allah protect Muslims Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Khatms, Tasbihat, Salawat, Tahlilat, Surahs and Ayat. We giftthem to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives. Today is urs of Hajji Metin’s mother.

For goodness to come and evil to be gone, for the victory of Islam, with the intention of the appearance of Sahibu z-Zaman, to live in abundance and Barakah, to have strength of Iman.

MAKE YOUR WEALTH BENEFICIAL FOR AKHIRAH Wednesday, 15 November 2023 / 1 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: “Al-Mālu Wa Al-Banūna Zīnatu AlĤayāati Ad-Dunyā, Wa AlBāqiyātu Aş-Şāliĥātu Khayrun `Inda Rabbika Thawābāan Wa Khayrun `Amalā’,‘‘Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 18:46).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says the commodities of this world, money, property, wealth, children and whatever else there is are adornments of this world. These are the things people run after. The good ones among them are those which can be taken to Akhirah.Everything will be gone. But all the Bāqiyāt (enduring good deeds) go to Akhirah and stay there. You will have loved and run after the rest for nothing. Unless you do it for Akhirah, there is no benefit in it, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.It is said there will be a lot of money in the end of times. But money has no value anymore. Even though it has no more value, shaytan makes people run after money more just in order to make them busy. It is as air now, you can’t touch it anymore. In old times, there was gold and silver. They were truely valuable. Paper money was brought up instead of them, and it is useless. Nevertheless, it was tangible. They don’t want that as well now.They want to remove paper money and put in their place what you can’t touch and is inthe air, “You have so many millions in
Page781
your bank account. You have trillions in your bankaccount.” But they don’t have anything with them.There is no benefit in Dunya for people who run after it. When you use from the Halal (permissible) for your Akhirah, that will be beneficial for you. You will have them there. Otherwise, you will have nothing. Normally, nothing remains after you, but people now don’t have any money in their hands anymore even in this world.
Therefore, clever people must think about how to make their wealth beneficial and remain eternally and permanent in Akhirah. And that is what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed. If you do that, you will be in benefit. If you don’t do, there will be no benefit at all.
There was a man we had worked with Nefel Bey, may Allah bless his soul. He had industrial machines. One man came to him, as he had several machines he wanted to sell. While thinking about selling them or not,he passed away. So they were left to his sons. They sold them within two months and used up all the money and goods. It had no benefit neither to him, nor to others, nor to his children.You must have good wealth and you must have good children so that you benefit from them. May Allah let all of us have good righteous children, good money and possessions Insha Allah. May we have their benefit. May they not be useless Insha Allah.
People are running after their egos now. Even if you enjoy this money and have fun with it today, tomorrow you will want the same. But you won’t be able to have it then. Do you think it will last when you please yourself? It will be over instantly. Allah Azza wa-Jalla is showing and giving examples to all people. But people who run after their egos will not have any goodness both here and hereafter.
May Allah protect us.

PARADISE IS UNDER MOTHERS’ FEET Thursday, 16 November 2023 / 2 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.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:Paradise is under the feet of mothers. Mothers are the most important persons in Islam. The Sahabah approached our Holy Prophetand asked, “Whom should I respect. He said, “Your mother”. He asked again, “Whom should I respect?” He replied again, “Your mother”. He asked this several times and at last he said, “Respect your father as well”.
The right of a mother is huge. It cannot be paid. The hearts of mothers are full of love towards their children and people. Whoever shows respect to them shows respect to Allah and our Holy Prophet, because they strive to bring up good people. No mother wants her children to grow up to be bad. She wants them to grow up as good. Therefore, the first nursery, Madrasah and school is the mother.She needs to bring up good people so that they bring up good people too. They must bring up people on the way of Allah so that they bring benefit to the Ummah and help them. Certainly, as not everyone is on the way of Allah humanity, sometimes it is dangerous. There are the ones who mislead and the ones who guide to the right path. May Allah ‘Azza wa-JallaInsha Allah give good mothers in order to bring up good generations.Today is the Urs of Hajjah Anne. May Allah be pleased with her. She had carried all the burden of Tariqah. She had carried the burden of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim.She never complained. She always served our brothers and
Page783
served our Shaykh. She took care of the brothers, Dergah and everything every time he left for a journey. She was from the rare people. The burden of Tariqah is not light. She often took this burden on her shoulders and carried it. May paradise be her abode.It has been nineteen years now. These nineteen years have passed instantly. Moredays and years are passing. Certainly, it is not a separation forever. Certainly, Insha Allah we will meet all together in paradise and live forever Insha Allah. This world is temporary. No one will stay forever in this world.I had a little baby sister. She passed away when she was two years old.We witnessed death for the first time then. I was around five years then. Hajjah Anne said,“We will meet each other again. She is gone down to the grave and up to paradise from there. All of us will be there”. The matter of death is not about separation since then but about the meeting place. Worldly days pass by quickly. As long as there is preparation for Akhirah, it is by the order of Allah, it is the Sunnah of Allah for mankind. Certainly, there will be paradise for all of us after death Insha Allah. May their Maqams be high.
There are recited Khatms for her. May Allah be pleased with our brothers, they showed respect and loved Hajjah Anne. We gift these recited Khatms, Yasin, Ayat, Surahs and Tasbihat, all of them firstly to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives, especially our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, our mother Hajjah Amina Sultan, Hala Sultan. We gift them to souls of all Awliya and Sahabahs, female Sahabahs, wives our Holy Prophet souls of the mothers of believers, all Muslims and Muslimahs, Mumins and, Mu’minahs, to the souls of our late relatives. May it reach them Insha Allah. May it be the means for goodness.
May it be the remedy for the sick. May we all have happiness here and hereafter.

LUCKY IS WHO PERFORMS WORSHIP Friday, 17 November 2023 / 3 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.
We heard a beautiful Hadith Sharif of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam the other day. The best and most accepted of all worship is when you perform the Friday morning prayer in Jama’ah. Shukr to Allah, every Friday is a holiday. And the gift of the holiday is the morning prayer. The morning prayer performed in Jama’ah has a very big reward in the sight of Allah. It is very much accepted. It is a worship with great virtue.
Worship is a favor given to us by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Whoever is successful in performing it is a lucky person. Rather than those who have a lot of money; having a lot of money and being on the right way is also good. But the person who knows Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, honors Allah and does what He says is the lucky one. Otherwise, the most unluckyperson is who has everything in this world but has no obedience to Allah, no worship and doesn’t recognize Him. He is truly the most unfortunate person. Therefore, lucky is the person who performs worship. Allah has given him a big favor and shown him generosity so that he walks on Hisway.This world has no value at all. It has no worth. Unless you are on the way of Allah, it is not luck but bad luck. People who are on the way of Allah are lucky ones. Even if they are poor and have nothing, as long as they are on the way of Allah, how lucky are they! How lucky are those who are on the way of Allah! There is no happiness in
Page785
other things. Whomever you follow, unless you are on the way of Allah, you are not happy. You will not have goodness neither here nor hereafter.
There are still opportunities to turn to the right way in this world. There is a chance to turn to the way of Allah. However, when you close your eyes, you will miss that chance. May Allah protect all of us. May He keep us steadfast on His right path Insha Allah. May Allah not let us go astray. There are many of those who are going astray. May Allah protect us. There are many of those who obey their egos and go astray. May Allah protect us.
May we be on the right way Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are lots of Khatms made for the occasion of the Urs of Hajjah Anne. May Allah be pleased with our brothers, they’ve made thousands of Khatms from all over the world.
They recited Salawat, Tasbihat, Yasin, Surahs. We gift all of these Surahs, Ayat, Khatms, Tasbihat, Salawat firstly to our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Hajjah Anne, souls of our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.
We gift them to souls of all Muslims and Mumins. May they reach them. May there be Shifa’ (cure), light and Iman, strength and happiness here and hereafter.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE HYPOCRITE Saturday, 18 November 2023 / 4 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: “Inna Al-Munāfiqīna Fī Ad-Darki Al`Asfali Mina An-Nāri’’. “Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire.’’ (Qur’ān 04:145).
Hypocrites are in the lowest part of hell, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Because those who appear like Muslims but harm Muslims are hypocrites. They are the most disliked people of Allah. Hypocrites existed in the time of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Even though he knew, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was patient.
People nowadays are like this. They know Muslims as enemies. They show hostility towards them and appear like them even though they are not. They are always there. Allah’s rage will be upon them. When it is Kafir, you know that he is Kafir and adjust yourself accordingly. But when it is a hypocrite, he appears like he is more Muslim than you. That is in order to destroy Islam. Who are they? They are the enemies of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, they don’t love him صلى الله عليه وسلم. How shall we recognize them?When you make Salawat, or when you show love to our Holy Prophet, they say you are Mushrik and Kafir. They are the people who keep you away from this great virtue.We won’t enter paradise with our deeds. But we will enter it with love. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said a person will be with whom
Page787
he loves. Therefore, their main goal is to remove this love and lead people to hell. Without the love of our Holy Prophet, a person has no value. None of his actions has any benefit. The most necessary thing people need for their Akhirah and for paradise is the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.With love we attain his intercession. Otherwise, if you are together with hypocrites, you are in trouble then. Something bad will happen to you for sure. May Allah protect us. May He protect us from the hypocrites.
Hypocrites are the ones who attack more than Kafirs everywhere. They multiplied after the Ottomans. They had existed before that. But afterwards, they became much more. May Allah protect us from their evil. May we always have the love of our Holy Prophet in our hearts. The love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is Fard. Our Holy Prophet says, “You cannot reach true Iman unless you love me more than your mother, father and yourself”. Your Iman is not complete then.
Therefore, may we have everlasting love towards our Holy Prophet in our hearts so that our Iman is strong Insha Allah.

RAIN IS BY HIS ORDER Sunday, 19 November 2023 / 5 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: ”Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Yunazzilu AlGhaytha Min Ba`di MāQanatū Wa Yanshuru Raĥmatahu Wa Huwa AlWalīyu Al-Ĥamīd’’. ‘‘And it is He who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads His mercy. And He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.’‘ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 42:28).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying He makes it rain when people lose their hopes. Whenever He wants; rain is in His hands.
They say this is happening, that is happening. But without the order of Allah even a drop of rain will not fall. Everything happens with the order of Allah. Every drop and every atom moves with the order of Allah. Without His order, people may strive with nonsense things as much as they want. “We will throw a bomb and it will rain and we’ll produce water”. They did it and it was useless. People who don’t believe in Allah did this many times thirty years ago. It was completely useless. People died from drought. And then with the permission of Allah, with Dua, Allah showed mercy and sent rain. If Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t want it, He won’t make rain. Why? There may be drought and difficulties, people may die of famine without the mercy of Allah.Rain is the mercy of Allah. We must make Shukr to Allah. People either forget about this, or they have never experienced such a thing and don’t think
Page789
about it at all. They think there will always be rain. It is possible not to happen too. In the time of Sayyidina Yusuf, it hadn’t rained for seven years. That is possible. There is nothing impossible in this world. When there is no order from Allah nothing happens.
May Allah send us Barakah. May He send us goodness Insha Allah. No one can stand against whatever He sends. And when He cuts it, no one can open it, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. May Allah give Barakah. May He give His Barakah with goodness. And may He not test us with shortage and draught. May He help people. Fire is falling down on them now. May Allah protect them. May Allah rescue these people.
May Allah send the Sahib to all of us.

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR ABODE IN DUNYA Monday, 20 November 2023 / 8 Jumada Al-Awwal 1445 Isha Prayer – Alanya, 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.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “O you who believe, be with the truthful and good ones.” This is His order. Stay away from bad people. No benefit comes from bad people, only harm. Goodness never comes from bad people. Their evil is contagious.
Therefore, the time we are living in is the end of times. We always repeat this, because what our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam had said, all signs are appearing one by one in this time up to their smallest details. And the worst is that people of this time cheat other people. They think they are doing good and that they are following good people. They cheat them showing the bad as good, and they show the good as bad. They harm people from both sides. People are both cheated and shown the bad as good.
Even when people go to the market, if they put better vegetables on top and worse ones in the bottom, people get bothered. They fight about it and leave without buying them. These apparent things are not so important; they are the food for the body. But they are giving the truly harmful things to people from day to night.
People who think they are the smartest, educated or learnt ones who think they are very clever, university students, college students. Small
Page791
children are cleverer than them. Students of elementary and middle schools are much cleverer. They are at least more innocent and know better. But when they grow up and shaytan jumps on to ride them, they think there is no one more intelligent than them. They think there is no person who knows the job better than them and understands it, whereas shaytan is down on their necks and swinging his legs. He hits from the right to go to the left and hits from the left to go to the right. He plays with them as he likes. He misleads them as he likes.
They see themselves as intelligent and say with arrogance, “I am a universitystudent. These idiots hardly ever finished elementary school. They are not as clever as I am. They are torturing themselves by praying five times a day. They stay hungry by fasting. They are giving their money to others for nothing.” They think they are clever. Whereas, the clever ones are the people whom they call idiots, for they are building up their Akhirah. Their Dunya is thriving as well. But their Akhirah is more important.
Therefore, in this time Indeed, more and more ignorant people are brought up every year. There are more people who go astray. There are more people wholike badness, people who like poison, people who like all kinds of Haram (forbidden) things. They are becoming more and more. May Allah protect us. We are living in the end of times. Their evil is huge. May Allah protect us from their evil. May the children not obey them.
The matter is not about the quantity. Even if all people go against Allah ‘Azza wa-JallaLet alone people, our whole world is not even dust inside the universe. It cannot be even its dust. It is that small. Yet, they are challenging Allah,with their arrogance. Who are you! Not only you, what is this whole worldwhat is the whole universe in front of the power of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla! They are not even zero. Therefore, clever people obey Allah and conform to Allah, they make sajida to Allah The rest is not worth being prostrated before them or being conformed to, whoever they are. Conform to those who are on the way of Allah and
Page792
walk on their way. Their way is the good way both to humanity and to Muslims; to everyone. The way of Allah is good.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says,“Wa la-daru l-Akhirati Khayr”“And the home of the Hereafter is better.’‘ (Qur’ān 16:30).
The home of Akhirah is better. The home of Dunya is temporary. You have to make it prosperous as well.They say, “Abode is in Dunya and Iman is in Akhirah”. Brighten up your abode here with Iman and Islam. Make it prosperous so that your Akhirah is prosperous as well. This is it.
We see that many people are sometimes embarrassed to say they are on the way of Allah in front of each other. What is it to be embarrassed of? Those who must be embarrassed are the people who are not on the way of Allah Embarrassed must be people who run after shaytan. Those who follow him are disgraced in this world. There is no benefit. They attain nothing but loss.Even though people know this, they are still cheated. If they are cheated, it means they are mentally deficient. Clever people must think. If they think, Allah will surely help them. He will show them the way of truth, and they will walk on that way. May Allah show the way of truth to these people, these youngsters.Youngsters don’t like anyone the most. As they don’t like anyone except themselves, they are at loss. May Allah protect them. There is experience to be attained by youngsters. If Allah gives them a long life, they will look around.
There are many youngsters who regret what they did. Insha Allah may they regret as well, may they repent and come to the right way Insha Allah. May Allah protect us.
May Allah protect us from the evil of shaytan.
