Suhbah 2023: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (375 suhbah, 886 pages, 8/50)


https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=8391
Mawlana was saying that every prayer, you must make Dua for Allah to send him. we will be with him. It looks very much like the time of Sayyidina Al-Mahdi, Allahu ‘A’lam (Allah knows). We don’t know what Allah wills, when or where the appearance of Sayyidina AlMahdi will be but we are hoping Insha Allah to be with him Insha Allah.

PUT HAPPINESS IN A BELIEVER’S HEART Friday, 27 October 2023 / 12 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Padma Hotel Bandung, Indonesia.

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

Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says there’s a good deed that is the most beloved for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is more [beloved] than praying, fasting, Hajj all of this is obligatory but that which Allah جل جلاله loves more than those is to put happiness in the heart of Mu’min. It is not too difficult to make a believer, Mu’min happy. With a small thing you can make him happy.

Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says: “Give gifts to one another and love one another.”

Give gifts and love each other. Any good little thing, you can make a Mu’min happy with a word or by helping him. You can with anything. When you make a Mu’min become happy, Allahbecomes (more)happier.You can even not make him happy but don’t make him sad or brokenhearted. This is also very important. To break the Ka’abah is less [in significance] than breaking the Mu’min’s heart, says Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

May Allah make us happy to make Allah happy Insha Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS Saturday, 28 October 2023 / 13 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Bandung, Indonesia.

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 ayyuhālladhīna amanū isbirū wa ṣābirū wa rābiṭū wa t-taqū Llāha la’allakumu tuflihūn’’. “O you who have believed, be patient and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. (Qur’ān 03:200).

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying to the believer be patient, and also be patient again and be in the right way, Allah will give you the best success Insha Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us the way of success. With this, in anything you work or do for Dunya and for Akhirah, you will succeed in the end. Because many people do something and later on they get fed up and leave it. And they lose what they got tired and suffered for a long time for. When they leave this, it is finished, they cannot take anything from it.

Once in Cyprus, a long time ago, there was one student from Damascus studying in the university. He asked Mawlana, “How can I succeed?” Mawlana said to him, “Be steadfast.” To be persistent and consistent in what he does. This is the secret of success. He followed the order of Mawlana. He left Cyprus of course. Because in Cyprus he couldn’t stay studying for many years. But when he asked and accepted this, he succeeded and he has a well job and good life.

Page743

May Allah make us to be continuous [in what we do] especially for Akhirah, and not leave the good deeds. Ofcourse for Akhirah, what you did from good deeds will not be lost, but you will not get a more and higher rank, a higher position.

May Allah help us because we are weak. With the help of Allah Insha Allah we will succeed Insha Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

BEWARE OF HARMING A SOUL Sunday, 29 October 2023 / 14 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Masjid Nurdin Hasanah – Jambi, Indonesia.

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.

Alhamdulilah we are thankful for this Mawlid, Maa Sha Allah it is very good. It is Barakah for the Majlis, our Majlis. With Barakah of Mawlid of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, more Barakah and Rahmah comes from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. AlhamduliLlah we love our Prophet. Hesaid, “You must love me more than your mother, father and yourself.”

They made Sunnah of Witr. They are making Sunnah. We are trying to do all Sunnah Alhamdulilah: praying, fasting and even in Islamic wearing. Alhamdulilah this is very good. All of this is good but there is something we can also do which is also very much rewarded from Allah. [Hadith]. “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” Which means don’t harm and don’t reciprocate harm. Don’t harm anybody. If you harm somebody and he doesn’t forgive you, it will be a problem. If he dies or you die before taking forgiveness from him. It is the same for human beings or animals, anything, plants. You must be careful not to harm them. Even when you slaughter, you must also be good and cut very lightly and not make it hard.

[..] all became smoke. All of Malaysia became smoke, they came and objected this. It is very far from here. People were suffering and many people couldn’t maybe go to the hospital. It was very hard, they were suffering from this.Here, they said fire in the jungle is good, it opens a

Page745

place for another land. In the jungle, there are many animals. The worst thing for a Muslim is to burn a living [soul] even animals. This brings badness to the country. Now I heard that there was no rain. It wasn’t raining but now rain came down. A whole season with no rain.

From where is that coming? From burning innocent animals, from their suffering.

There will be no Barakah for these people. They thought they will have a big land when they burn this jungle and it will Barakah for them. It will not be Barakah for them. It will illness for them. It will be a disaster for them.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: 7(Faman Ya’mal Mithqāla Dharratin Khayrāan Yarah‘ Wa Man Ya’mal Mithqāla Dharratin Sharrāan Yarah (8)’’.“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it (7) And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it (8).’ (Qur’ān 99:07-08).

Allah is saying, who makes even a very small thing of Khayr(goodness), He will reward him. Who makes a small Sharr (badness) without asking forgiveness will be punished for this. With Haram there is no Barakah. With Haram there is no Barakah. With Halal there is Barakah. Even if millions and billions with Haram, there is no Barakah. With Halal, one is enough and has Barakah.

Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, we don’t of course here nobody, we are in a mosque, but this is for the other people we are saying as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says: “Allahumma inna hadha munkarun la nardabihi”. “O Allah this is a wrongdoing that we don’t accept.” This is not good, we don’t accept this. We don’t accept this, we are asking for forgiveness for us because we cannot prevent what happened but we don’t accept this and we say “Tawba AstaghfiruLlah” we ask forgiveness from Allah to give Barakah for us, to give Hidayah (guidance) for the others. Your country is a very big country so you cannot control these people. For this, we are saying, “O Allah forgive us.

Page746

Don’t punish us. We are not with these people. We don’t accept what they are doing. We reject them.” This is the first matter we want to speak about.

The second one is that Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says we have 360 joints in our body, we must give Sadaqah for each one. We can give or do something, give Sadaqah every day, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying to us. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying to feed somebody or pray Duha is also Sadaqah. And this is important for Muslims countries. It is important because Islam is the religion of cleanliness. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says to take out dirt from the street is Sadaqah.To remove garbage or dirt from the street is Sadaqah. This is showing that Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam is very sensitive about cleanliness. To remove dirt from road, to not make people be harmed is Sadaqah also.

And in that time, in Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s time, there was no plastic, no anything that shows dirty scenery. We are seeing in the roads everywhere there is plastic, bottles, any kind, they are throwing everywhere. And this is Maa Sha Allah you are the most Salih(righteous)gathering/community among the Muslim Ummah (nation), the most religious and the most beloved by Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam curses who throws dirt in the river. The plastic and other makes the water to smell very bad. Because when coming together, it makes dirty water, pollution. Alhamdulilah you have people collecting everyday, there are cars taking the garbage. So everybody can clean for the sake of Allah and by the order of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam, and it will be Sadaqah.

Sadaqah is very important. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says Sadaqah prevents Bala’ (affliction) and makes life longer, extends your life. People think Sadaqah is to give money to poor people, no. There are many types of Sadaqah. Soevery day when going to work, before leaving your house, put a box and put a little bit of [money] Sadaqah in it.

Page747

Who cannot do this, he can go out and as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam says, take garbage [from the road] and put it in the dustbin. This is a Ni’mah, gift from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to us. We must know the value of what He gave us and we must think about it. If you do like this, it will be more (multiply).

There is now this impression in Europe or America or other nonMuslim people. They are trying to protect nature, to protect the world from this. But they are new to this because they destroyed all nature and destroyed the whole world. But Alhamdulilah since 1500 years, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam ordered this.

Alhamdulilah we have the most perfect religion. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam taught us not only for us but for all human beings. He was sent to the whole universe to teach them the good thing. So Insha Allah we must follow him, we will be rewarded here and hereafter. He did not only teach us worshiping but also from birth until the grave, until death, he taught us everything, every small thing; nothing is left out.

Insha Allah we hope to be like Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to follow his Sunnah, especially to not harm anybody because it is the most dangerous thing.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE BLESSED JAMBI Monday, 30 October 2023 / 15 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Maulidia Convention Center – Jambi, Indonesia.

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.

Alhamdulilah we came to your country which is far. Allah made this meeting happen. Everything is not by coincidence, it is written. So we must come here, we must meet you, we must eat our food here, our drink here. All of this is written. So be happy to be with people, Mu’min, believers. Maa Sha Allah it is a very spiritual place, a blessed place.

Last year, we were in BinjaiMaa Sha Allah, North Sumatra. This is a place for ‘Ulama ‘Awliya and school of old Mashayikh. We didn’t hear before about Jambi. They said, “You must visit another place also.” But nobody heard about this. Allah put it in my heart and we said we must go visit and Alhamdulilah now we are here [in Jambi].

This area, with Barakah of Islam, had many Awliyau’Llah who are looking after these people, to make them happy, to not be under the Kafirs (unbelievers).

People were making Jihad against these oppressors, Kafirs and they had hundred, thousands maybe hundred thousands of Shaheed to be in the way of Allah. Because these Kafirs were changing religion. And for this purpose, Allah kept your place in Islam and in the way of Allah. Allah kept you safe. Alhamdulilah now Maa Sha Allah your country is

Page749

blessed. Insha Allah you also hold onto this way, way of Prophet, way of your ancestors and keep all your children. This is Barakah for you. Without this, there isn’t any benefit for you.

Maa Sha Allah we visited here in this area many Awliyau’Llah who brought Islam, help for Islam. They were teaching Islam, teaching Tariqah, teaching love of Prophet, love of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

This is what clever ones and those who have good thinking must be happy with. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: “Qulbi faḍli Llahi wabi raḥmatihi fabidhālika falyafraḥū’’. “Say, “In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy in that let them rejoice.’ (Qur’ān 10:58).

With the favor of Allah and His Rahmah (mercy) and blessings, we must be happy. With this, you can be happy. Without this, there is no happiness.

Hold onto this way strongly. Don’t listen to those who are claiming they are studying and know religion. If they do not respect Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam,don’t respect our way, don’t respect the Sahabah, they don’t know anything. Don’t listen to them. Run away from them. If you give up a little bit, your Iman will become less. If you give a little bit more [in listening to them], it will become less. When it becomes less and less and less, after that, there will be no Iman in you. This is what shaytan wants: to have no Iman so he can put doubt in your mind.

When Salatin, Sultans were ruling, they were respecting Awliyau’Llah, they were respecting Ulama scholars.They were respecting. They kept them near them to give them advice to not make any wrong thing, any wrong decision. There was Sultan for Dunya and for Akhirah. They were lions, lions of Islam and they had Haybah (were awe-inspiring), strongly looking. Enemies were afraid from them.For this, they are taking Sultan as an example. It is very important. Alhamdulilah here also, the Sultan was very religious and very knowledgeable, Mu’min. For

Page750

this, all of his country was respecting him. May Allah bless him. RahmatuLlah ‘alayh (May Allah’s mercy be upon him).

May Allah help Muslim and Mu’mins everywhere they are suffering. May Allah help them Insha Allah. May Allah make us to see these good days Insha Allah when the whole world becomes Muslim Insha Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

HOW TO BE HAPPY IN DUNYA Monday, 30 October 2023 / 15 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Jambi, Indonesia.

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-Ladhī Khalaqa l-Mawta Wa lĤayāata Li-yabluwakum ‘Ayyukum ‘Aĥsanu ‘Amalā’’.“[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed.’’(Qur’ān 67:02). This Ayah says that in this life we have many kinds of tests or some difficulty. This is from Allah. He tests us [as to] which is better than the other.Everything for the Mu’min is Khayr Insha Allah; nothing is bad. If he knows that this is from Allah, it is easy for him to accept difficulties and anything making him sad. If he knows it is coming from Allah, he will be satisfied and he will be rewarded for this.There is no 100% happiness in this world. Don’t think that who has billions is more happy and more satisfied than the poor one. Because we are living in Dunya. Dunya is not Paradise. When you go to Paradise, all sadness and every bad thing will be outside of Paradise. When you drink from Ḥawḍ al-Kawthar/the Pond of Abundance Insha Allah at that time, you will be a million times happier, a billion times Insha Allah. The believer, even the Muslim must believe in this and he will be happy here. Even here you can be happy when you hear this.Alhamdulilah we believe Insha Allah we will be there together.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WE ARE IN NEED OF NAWAFIL Tuesday, 31 October 2023 / 16 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Jambi, Indonesia.

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Hadith Qudsi, “My servant comes nearer to Me with Nawafil.” Whoever makes Sunan Nawafil comes (more) nearer to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.“And My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved to Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. And My servant continues to draw near to me with nafil (supererogatory) deeds until I Love him. When I Love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks.”“Who continues to make Nawafil, I will be his hand and his feet.” All of this will be from Allah Insha Allah.

Nawafil is of course what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was doing,not Fard. Everybody must do the Fard. If they don’t do it, they will be punished.

But Nawafil is not like this. Nawafil helps one to be more beloved for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah will help us in everything. Allah ‘Azza waJalla said, “I will be his eyes, his ears, his hand, his feet.” So Allah guides us when we are making Nawafil, says Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Page753

As you see, all who are in Tariqah have Wird and have everything that Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was doing. They practice Dhikr, praying, fasting. Everything in trying to follow Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, this is Nawafil. It is not obligatory, but we are very much in need of this.

For this, do as much as you can do. And what you cannot do, Allah Insha Allah accepts as if you have done it. Our intention is like this, and Allah rewards us for our intention Insha Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

ENEMIES FROM THE INSIDE Friday, 3 November 2023 / 19 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Rajagiriya, Sri Lanka.

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 Prophet mentioned many things [about the end of times]. And among them he mentioned that there will be a lot of Muslim people, but there is no value for them. They are only like the tide of the sea. When the wave comes to the shore, it makes bubbles, it gets bigger and bigger than finishes. It will be like this. Why? Because there is Fitnah. There is many Fitnah. An enemy from outside is not needed. The enemy is coming from inside. The biggest enemy are those who are coming from the inside and destroying them. The biggest Ni’mah (favor) is belief. To be Mu’min, believer is the biggest Ni’mah. But these people are destroying belief. For this, we are saying that there’s no need for an enemy from outside. What is enough for us and is destroying us are these people. They are dividing the Muslim world, dividing everywhere.

Here, we are in Sri Lanka. 30 or 40 years ago, the most peaceful people were Sri Lankan people, the SriLankan Muslims. They were very soft. Even when I was with Mawlana, we were going from here to Pakistan, it was really terrible. Because the people here were very soft people, but in Pakistan they were tough people. But now, these people who don’t have mercy and claim are Muslims are hurting Muslim and Mu’min people. These people are the most ones giving a hard time and bad things to Muslims. They don’t have any mercy, they don’t have anything. Just as what the Imam today was saying about Abdul Wahab. He

Page755

was the most criminal one. He killed maybe more than a thousand, a hundred thousand of Mu’mins and Muslims because they are following the Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam and following the right way. And people are still going after them. But what shall we say. It must be like this for Qiyamah to come, for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam to come. So all of this must be like this. We are not happy of course with them. We are not happy at all. We don’t agree with anything of what they are saying, and what they are doing. They are completely nominded people.

In Turkish there is a word “Mankurt”. In old times, when capturing people they put [wrap] on their heads [camel] skin [and tie them under the sun]. After that, when it dries it becomes tighter and tighter on their heads. When it becomes tighter, it becomes very hard on them. They slowly slowly lose their control. The one who has captured them controls them. And he can send them anywhere to do what he wants to do.

These people are becoming like this. There are many things in this world and one of them are these people: they are not using their minds, they are not listening to anybody. They are just, as these Mankurt people, running from here to there and saying the most word they know, “Shirk, Bid’ah”, “Shirk, Bid’ah.” Do you know what is Mushrik and what is Bid’ah? They don’t know at all. They are mixing up everything. Even for Sunnah they are saying Bid’ah. They are a real disaster for Muslims, for Mu’mins. They are not a disaster for the enemy of Islam. They are friends with shaytan. They are friends with the enemy of Islam. They are harming people and people are thinking all Muslims are like this. We are asking from Allah to protect you and us from these people.

Because they are really damaging everything. They don’t have any mercy in their hearts. Their hearts are like stone. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam doesn’t love this. He doesn’t like this. He likes the one who has mercy in his heart. When Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was playing with his grandsons Sayyidina Hassan and Hussein, he صلى الله عليه وسلم kissed

Page756

them. There was one Bedouin Bedouin don’t have Adab he said to Prophet, “How are you kissing them!” He said, “From mercy, I am kissing them. You must be like this.” So mercy is the most acceptable attribute from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You must imitate this attribute. Try to be merciful with everybody.

May Allah help us. May Allah give us power and give Hidaya (guidance) to the people who were cheated. They are real cheaters. May Allah give them Hidayah to understand and come back to this. To be good with Muslims, good with human beings, good with everybody. This is Islam. Islam and Tariqah are the same. This is our way, way of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.

May Allah help us Insha Allah. We are living in a time that is really difficult.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

BELIEVERS MUST BE HAPPY Saturday, 4 November 2023 / 20 Rabih Al-Akhir 1445 Galle, Sri Lanka.

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 intended to come earlier but by the will of Allah we just came. Alhamdulilah you arrived safely so you must be thankful for Allah Azza wa-Jalla. Alhamdulilah. We made you wait, sorry for that but Allah rewards you. Everything for the Mu’min, for the believer is good. You waited here for maybe 6 hours, Allah will reward you for each hour, for each minute from His endless treasures. Everything is in Allah’s Hand. To be in the way of Allah, to wait there is a very acceptable deed for the believer, for the Mu’min. And we, without knowing,waited in the car and we waited in the house. So Insha Allah, Allah rewards all of us.

We love this place, this place is a Mu’min and Muslim’s place. You are living with all kinds of people. It is safe and they respect each other. It is important in Islam to respect human beings, to respect the creatures of Allah: Human beings or anything, tree, wheat, water, animal, bird. All of this is respected in Islam. For this, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t like you to do something you are not in need of doing; just as a hobby or just for fun. It is not good to kill birds or other things. If for eating, you can. But not for fun. Now there are people who are hunters, they go here and there to hunt. There is no benefit for this. They are oppressing creatures of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.For this, the Mu’mins, believers respect everyone. This place was like this. And by the Barakah of this, there are still many believers, Mu’mins living here. They are sincere people. Their an-

Page758

cestors were coming from Yemen or other places. They were happy with the local people and the local people were happy with them. This is Islam. This is the teaching of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam: to be friendly.

The believer is friendly and can be befriended.”“Which means the believer gets happy [accustomed] with others and others gethappy [accustomed] with him. This is for the believer. He must be like this. Not like what many of these new mindless people. Nobody is happy with them, they are not happy with anybody. They are the whole time in a very bad thinking, bad acting. They have no happiness at all.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Be happy.” ‘‘Fa-bidhālikafalyafraḥū’’. ”In that let them rejoice’’(Qur’ān 10:58). You are believers,be happy!Don’t be sad. The most happiness is for us. A believer who says, “I am not happy” is not a believer. He just believes by tongue, but not in the heart. You must believe in your heart Insha Allah. May Allah make us with these people, to be happy.

Maybe some people think that Islam is to not laugh or be happy, just to be sad. No. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla orders to be happy.
