And when, for this example, for how when you coming some place, everybody he will take blessed. Allāh He give blessed as his level and everybody will be happy. For this, to come to visit awliyā’uLlāh, to visit maqām, it is order and good for believer. Don`t believe for shayṭān and his follower because they are jealous for people to get blessed without tiring. They thought it is not good. You must follow them to make something difficult. But no, you can with coming to take blessed from this place for your intention this. Allāh give you because you are not coming worshipping a graveyard, not coming to worship awliyā’uLlāh. No, you are coming here because this beloved for Allāh. Because they are beloved one for Allah, for sake of Allāh we are coming and Allāh reward you for your intention, your niyyah. This is everybody coming even they don`t know anything, they not praying, not doing, also they are believer. They have something in their heart so this it will be growing more with coming to place like this.
And after this, after khuṭbah, this awliyā’uLlāh he, they are in this big mosque. Because very big, there is four entrances for mosque. Everybody going from there. They want to kiss his hand and he was in front of door. Each one passing, kissing and greeting Shaykh and they going out. After this they said, everybody from other side going, “We greet Shaykh and we kiss his hand,“ they said, from four of door of this. Even with this he make karāmah to show people and they was all happy. They know he is awliyā’. But what happen? He is left this Bursa. He went to another city in Türkiye because he is, he don`t want to be, they don`t like to be famous. They like to hide.
Alhamdulilah this is, this awliyā’uLlāh we... They are beloved one for Allāh and we love them. And they are giving – as much you love them, they love you and give you from bless and from reward, Insha Allah.
Allāh keep us with them all time, Insha Allah.

BE HAPPY, YOU WILL BE IN JANNAH Friday, 29 September 2023 / 14 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1445
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 Allāh, we have good tidings. Islām is good tidings for Muslims. We reached these beautiful days of the birth of our Holy Prophet. We attained their virtue, Shukr to Allah. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam and Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla are giving good tidings to people.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa-abshirū bi-l-jannatillatī kuntum tū‘adūn. Naḥnu awliyā’ukum fī l-ḥayāti d-dunyā wa-fī l-ākhirah“ (41:30-31). May you have the good tidings, that Allāh promised you Paradise. You will be in Paradise. This is the best news. No need to fear, for believers and people who are Muslim. Those who are together with Allāh don`t need to be afraid, with permission of Allāh. The thought of going to hell makes them feel like crying. “Will we go to hell or Paradise?“ Don`t be afraid. Allāh gave you good tidings. The Word of Allāh is true. You have been promised Paradise. You are going to Paradise. These are great tidings for people in Islām, because when people make mistakes in this life and don`t correct them, it will be difficult. But whether they correct them or not, their life continues. However, the life of ākhirah is not like this. If they slip, may Allāh protect us, they cannot ever be saved.
One of the great awliyā’, Ḥaḍrat al-Būṣīrī, says in Qaṣīdah al-Burdah: “Bushrá lanā ma‘shara l-Islām inna lanā mina l-‘ināyati ruknan ghayra
Page688
munhadimi.“ He wrote these beautiful words. And people always sing them. They used to sing this. Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh adDāghistānī always used to repeat this verse. We heard it from his holy mouth many times. This verse says, “May good tidings be upon Muslims. We have a base like a firm castle. What we are based on will never collapse. Don`t be afraid. May you have good tidings.“ This way is a beautiful way. Therefore, being steadfast on this way is beneficial, first to people themselves. And it is beneficial to their families, relatives and other people. To benefit from Islām is something everyone can do. But there are enemies, like the ego, desire and shayṭān, which prevent it. There are four enemies. What do these enemies do? They don`t wish you goodness. They wish you badness. They want to destroy you. Don`t listen to them. They are... “Wa-khālifu n-nafsa“ – oppose your ego and oppose the rest.
Oppose shayṭān so that you have good tidings, and become a beloved servant of Allāh, so that you live in their Paradise forever, Insha Allah. May Allāh let us attain these good tidings for the honor of holy Mawlid, Insha Allah.
To be in, Muslim, and Islām, it is very nice, very blessed thing for human being. Because Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, and many time they are giving good tiding for believer, for Muslim. And especially this āyah we read: Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni rRaḥīm. “Wa-abshirū bi-l-jannatillatī kuntum tū‘adūn“ (41:30). Be, good tide, happy with this. What? With Paradise. Which Paradise? Which Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla promised you to be there. Allāh promised us to be in Paradise, in Jannah. And we are not listening for this. Many people, they are not doing what Allāh saying. Allāh... or some people, they are hopeless. We see sometimes people, they crying, “Oh, I not doing well. Am I be in Jannah, in Paradise?“ Yes, you will be. It`s Allāh‘Azza waJalla, He promised you. When you are in His way, you will be in Jannah. Don`t afraid. Don`t make shayṭān to make you not believe for this. It is, it must... You must believe also, this. Because everything Allāh saying, we must believe. No, you don`t have any choice, any chance to say
Page689
“no, maybe“ or “not”. No. Must, must believe. Allah says for us: “Be happy, you will be in Jannah.“ Allāh promise us.So for this, we are lucky. Everything Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, he said for ummah and he said in ḥadīth, “Ādam and below, he is under my flag.“ So we are happy, we are lucky with this, to be in his nation. Because whole prophets, they are asking bless from him, asking help from Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Alḥamdulilah, we are reach this happy day, and we celebrate for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Many of you, they are coming special to greet Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam in this occasion. and of course, he will be happy. He will be, give you reward. And you will get this good tiding: to be in Paradise with believer. To be in with Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam Paradise, also. This is good tiding.
And all awliyā’uLlāh, they are happy to be from nation of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Especially, there was Imām al-Būṣīrī who write Qaṣīdatu l-Burdah. One poem, one chapter in this: “Bushrá lanā ma‘shara l-Islām inna lanā mina l-‘ināyati ruknan ghayra munhadimi.“ This poem when I was young with, I was hearing this everyday, I think maybe.
Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdullah ad-Dāghistānī, he was saying this. Sometimes we go to mosque, we hearing from his window, it was up. And he was saying this. He was very happy with this chapter. What meaning? Good tiding for Muslim. They have strong thing to hold them. It will be not, cannot broke. This, for Muslim, nothing can broke this strong thing holding you. This is for whole Muslim. You must be hold in some strong thing, not weak thing. You will be crush, and you go and within to fall down. No. You must be happy, and ask to be hold this, Insha Allah.Wholeawliyā’uLlāh, they are giving good tiding. Don`t be listening for people who making everything, saying, “You will go to jahannam, you will go... You are not doing this. You go, you do this wrong. You, something, you are mushrik. You are... You will be in hell.“ Don`t listen to him. We listening for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet ṣal-
Page690
láLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Don`t listen to this, who ignorant, not understanding what Allāh saying. Allāh saying, “I promise you good tiding. You will be in Jannah.“ Alḥamdulilah, this enough for us.
No need to listen for other one, Insha Allah. Allāh make us, Insha Allah, whole in Jannah.

THE SECRET OF OUR SOULS Saturday, 30 September 2023 / 15 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1445
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.
The Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying: “Al-arwāḥu junūdun mujannadatun famā ta‘ārafa minhāi’talaf, wa-mā tanākara minhā ikhtalaf.“ Ṣadaqa RasūlaLlāh fī-māqāl aw kamāqāl, (the Messenger of Allāh, has said the truth in what he said, or as he said). Our souls are like soldiers. When Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created us in preeternity on the day of QālūBalá, there were souls. We were not there. We were not there physically. In the beginning, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created souls. Some of the souls there liked each other and got along very well. It is the same when they come to this world. In this world, you like some people and dislike other people. Some people love each other, some of them hate each other. This is their condition.
By the wisdom of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, when souls were created, a promise was taken from all of them regarding who would be a willing servant of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Everyone recognized Allāh ‘Azza waJalla and said they accepted Him. But when they came to this world, they said they didn`t know Him. They broke their promise. There cannot be familiarity with people who don`t keep their promise. There cannot be admiration for them. Therefore, this beautiful word of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says sometimes someone doesn`t get along with another person. He doesn`t know why he doesn`t get along well, and says it doesn`t come from his heart. This means they met in the spiritual world and didn`t like each other, or hated each other
Page692
then. When they are physically in this world, such souls cannot get along well, either. They cannot stand each other. They become enemies. It is the same for all people in this world. Both Muslims and nonMuslims have such situations.
Therefore, may Allāh make us love good people, Insha Allah, because it is a great favour. It is the wisdom of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. We cannot interfere in that wisdom. Asking why and how is not from adab. It is neither from adab, nor from any protocol, to ask this question. Some people think they can ask everything. Some things pertain to Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and things He knows Himself. They say His wisdom can`t be questioned. It is a beautiful saying. This is our condition. It is against adab to question one`s condition. And it weakens people`s īmān. May Allāh protect us, they may lose their īmān. Insha Allah, be with good people. Good people are beloved servants of Allāh. Protect them and be together with them. Don`t be against them. There can be familiarity with people on the way of our Holy Prophet, and the way of Allāh. And we ask that Allāh gives guidance to the rest, Insha Allah.
Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying for this ḥadīth, for our soul, Allāh “Al-arwāḥujunūdunmujannadatunfamāta‘ārafaminhāi’talaf, wa-mātanākaraminhāikhtalaf.“ Aw kamāqāl. Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, ṣadaqaRasūlaLlāhṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, he saying this ḥadīth for our souls. In time what Allāh He create whole soul, in, thousands years ago. Before creating our body, He create our soul. And this soul also... Many people, they are saying about soul, how it is, what it is, Like this, like that. This only we know for soul. Allāh, He create them before, some, maybe, fifty thousand year ago or more. Fifty thousand year of our time or Allāh`s time, we don`t know. But they create our soul long time ago. But for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, no time, no place. So, when... For us maybe billions years; for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, nothing at all. He is same, nothing change, nothing can be changed.This is the greatness of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. When He create our soul – and He create. He is Creator. For this also, we saying for this narrow mind people, what they are thinking, soul is, maybe one billion soul you have. So every soul, it
Page693
must be go from place to place. From man to mouse, mice, from mice to cat, from cat to cow, from cow to fish. They are, this, very narrow mind. They not knowing the greatness of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh create billions of souls for human beings. And He is still creating for other thing also. But for our subject, He create this. And this soul in that time. And this also, we say, prohibited, for soul, to ask for, “How is soul, how is...“ Is only for Allāh, know this. But what we know, as we said: He create them. And He take a promise from them. “Am I your Lord?“ They say, “Yes, we, You are our Lord. You are our Creator. You are everything.“ But when they come to body, their body they change them to not be loyal for their promise. They deny this.
This is not [the] problem. We are, our subject what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam saying for ḥadīth. He said, when this soul, that time also, they was seeing each other, soul. Some of them, they are happy with each other. They friend with, together. Some of them, they are enemy. Some of them, they are not so happy from people. Some of them, running from people.
It was like this also in soul... place where they was. And when this soul coming to dunyā, to earth, with body, coming to, with, from baby or from mother womb. Soafter this, when coming to life, some people, they are not like other people. Some people, they are happy with other people. Some people running from people. Some people, different. All this was, in that time, before thousands of year, also the soul was running away from some people. Some of them running together with, to people. Some of them happy with people.
So this, what, some little bit secret from what happen in this earth for human being. Some people, they hate other people. There are people, hate other people. This is wisdom of Allāh Azza wa-Jalla. Just, we are hoping to be happy with good people, with people who Allāh‘ love them, beloved one for Allāh. Allāh, we hope to be happy with them. Because many people they cannot be in such a place. They cannot be such... Very dirty place, they are happy, very happy there. But when
Page694
they are coming to nice place, good place, they will be not happy. As Mawlānā Shaykh, many times he was saying about rat in sewage. He is happy, very happy there. Where, he going up and jumping on, swimming in sewage. He is very happy there. But when you put them outside, not happy. Nothing for him.
For this we are, we hope Allāh make us to be whole time, with good people, happy with them, Insha Allah.

ONLY HIS LOVE WILL SAVE US Tuesday, 3 October 2023 / 18 Rabih 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 reached the Mawlid of our Holy Prophet and these holy days. Maa Sha Allah we gathered well both here and in the Dergah in Cyprus for the pleasure of Allah. There was a lot of people who came there. Even though this year was difficult in terms of money and the prices of tickets, much more people came. Shukr to Allah, they sacrifice everything for the honor of our Holy Prophet, Sub Han Allah. And Allah is certainly giving them from Hisvirtues and generosity in return for that.
The most important thing that Muslims should do is to respect our Holy Prophet and to remember him with love and respect. This is what Allah loves. Shaytan doesn’t like the things that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves and that should be done. Therefore, may we do things that shaytan dislikes. To respect our Holy Prophet and his Ahlu l-Bayt and the great Sahabah above all is not a bad thing.
There are many cheated people now. Why is that? There are many people who say he is a person just like us who is dead and gone. They live by as Muslims, but they have no Iman. They are Muslim but they don’t have as little Iman as the size of an atom in their hearts. If they had Iman, they wouldn’t say so, because our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is not an ordi-
Page696
nary person. He is the master of people and the beloved servant of Allah Allah certainly gives him what he asks for.
The intercession of our Holy Prophetis real. Therefore, our Holy Prophet asks for intercession from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.And this intercession is given to people who believe in the intercession. It is not meant for others. “I am Hafiz. I know all of the Qur’an. I know thousands of Hadith by heart.” There’s no need for this to people who don’t want intercession. There won’t be any intercession for them. Without the intercession, even if the whole world was a book and they learnt it by heart, they wouldn’t be saved. It is hard for them to be saved.
May Allah help us Insha Allah. May this love increase in our hearts. Allah will save us with this love. The love of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are what will save us. They are what bring benefit to us. Without love, there is nothing.
May Allah increase their love in us Insha Allah.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAWLID Wednesday, 4 October 2023 / 19 Rabih 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.
It is the holy month of Rabih ul-Awwal, the holy month of the birth of our Holy Prophet. It is the month of Mawlid. To honor it is to honor our Holy Prophet and to honor Allah. They used to recite Mawlids in this month in old times. And it is still going on all over the world, Shukr to Allah.
In some places, they don’t respect him. In addition to not showing respect, theymake Fatwas saying it is not permissible. Why should it not be permissible? What is it that we are doing? People are gathering for the pleasure of Allah. Mawlid tells about the beautiful moment of the birth of our Holy Prophet and the situations before it. All of these are the things that had taken place. It is recited in order to strengthen the Iman of people and in order to increase their love.
In some places, they want to prohibit it by saying it is Bid’ah, or there are manyshaytans who want to mess with people’s minds. There are places where Islam is very weak within the Islamic world. Only Mawlid of our Holy Prophet has remained there. Mawlid tells about how Islam came. And they want to prohibit it to people and leave nothing of Islam. This is it.With the permission of Allah, the biggest source of Iman is our Holy ProphetsallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And there are many people whose love increases by listening to Mawlid. There are many people
Page698
whose Iman grows in their hearts and who come to the right way. Therefore, shaytan and his followers don’t want it. They go against it. They want to prohibit it. Shukr to Allah, truth will show itself eventually. Falsehood and false ones will perish. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
People who call themselves Muslim but go against these practiced beautiful thingsare not doing the good thing. They are the people with weak Iman or no Iman at all. We ask that Allah gives guidance to them, because Muslims wish for goodness and nothing else. We ask that Allah gives them mind and understanding.
May Allah give Iman to all of us Insha Allah. May this month be blessed. May its Barakah be upon us Insha Allah.
May we attain the intercession of our Holy Prophet Insha Allah.

PRAYER IS THE LIGHT OF BELIEVERS Thursday, 5 October 2023 / 20 Rabi’ 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 is saying in this beautiful Hadith Sharif: prayer is the light, the light of Mu’mins and Muslims. The light of someone who prays increases. The light of those who don’t pray decreases. Even though they are Muslim, there is very little light. People still have the light of Islam. But the light of those who pray is different.
When they have this light, all kinds of beauty occur. When there is darkness, no goodness remains. Mankind must run after light, not after darkness. They should not go after and into darkness. Darkness is bad. The darkness of the night is brightened with the light of the day. People with bad intentions love the night. They love it as it is dark as themselves. But for believers, the night is for them to be in light. The worship they perform is more acceptable. A two-Rakā’at prayer made at night is 100 times or even more virtuous than that made during the day. There are holy words and Hadiths of our Holy Prophet which say this.
Therefore, people who don’t pray are in loss. They lose big things. People say in thisworld, “If only I did this, I’d be in profit. If only I did that, I’d take it.” They feel upset aboutDunya, whereas they have millions of benefits they miss in front of them. They don’t think about them. Your life is slipping away every minute. It is slipping through your feet and
Page700
hands and from everywhere. We must evaluate it and not lose it. And the most important is praying. “I am making Tasbihat until the evening. I have a little Tasbih in my hands. I make Tasbih with it”. If you do it for million years, it won’t replace one Rakā’ah prayer.
Therefore, prayer is the head of everything. In your work, your health, in anything there is no benefit without praying. With praying there is Barakah. With praying there is healthiness. With praying there is beauty. May Allah make praying easy for all of us. What is the most difficult thing in this world? It is praying; it is so to people.
But we make Dua that apart from wealth and property, our Iman gets stronger and that we keep our praying Insha Allah.

THE FORGIVENESS OF ALLAH Friday, 6 October 2023 / 21 Rabi’ 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 Allāha Yaghfiru Adh-Dhunūba Jamī`āan, ‘Innahu Huwa Al-Ghafūru Ar-Raĥīm”, “Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Qur’ān 39:53). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves forgiving. He gives people a chance at everyopportunity so that they repent and ask for forgiveness in order to forgive their sins out of His Mercy. It is the attribute of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Most Merciful and Most Forgiving are the attributes of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. With these attributes, Allah ‘Azza waJalla gives a chance every day and every moment so that people ask for forgiveness.
It is a great blessing for mankind; for Muslims and all people. Because some other people have to go to someone and say, “I did this. I did that” to ask for forgiveness from Allah. He asks for forgiveness in return for money. There is not such a thing in Islam. When you commit a sin and then repent and ask for forgiveness, Allah will forgive you.Also, as our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, the sins committed from a prayer to the next prayer are forgiven when you stand for next prayer. Sins are forgiven from Jum’ah to Jum’ah as well for people who pray Jum’ah prayer. And then for those who fast in Ramadan, sins are forgiven from Ramadan to Ramadan. It is a great blessing not to be in
Page702
need of anyone.Also, when you commit a sin, no need to tell anyone. Allah is As-Sattar, the Veiler No need to share it with anyone and then ask from Allah. Know your sin yourself and ask for forgiveness from Allah, Allah will veil you. And He won’t shame you. He won’t shame you around people on Judgment Day. The Mercy of Allah ‘Azza waJalla has no limits or boundaries. Everything of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is unlimited.People don’t know these great blessings. They go against Allah. People areungrateful most of the time. When they are done goodness, they do badness in return. May Allah improve them. People in Islam should guard the way of Islam. They must know the Greatness of Allah and Benevolence of Allah, the Mercy of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and Goodness of Allah. They must know that everything is from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla so that they are at rest. Otherwise, they cause suffering to themselves and don’t know what to do.Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is showing us how Magnificent and how Great He is through the holy word of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. To walk on the way of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the way to happiness of Muslims and to attaining the pleasure of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Otherwise, if you say, “I will do myself”, there will be hardship all the time. You will cause suffering to yourself. May Allah protect us.
As we said, people who repent and ask for forgiveness from prayer to prayer, their repentance will certainly be accepted. As long as you don’t commit a big sin There are also different ways of repentance for the big sins. And the Door of Repentance, the Door of Forgiveness of Allah جل جلاله is open. They will always be forgiven. But mankind should ask for forgiveness from Allah. That is what’s important. They shouldn’t say, “I committed too many sins, I won’t be forgiven”. Certainly, when they ask for forgiveness sincerely, Allah will forgive.
May Allah forgive us all Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Ayat, Surahs, Tasbihat and Salawat. Our brothers are reciting them from all over the world, Shukr to Allah. They send them to be gifted, may Allah accept it.
We gift them firstly to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu lBayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives, souls of all Muslims and Mu’mins. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.
May all good goals of those who recited be reached, may Allah accept it. For happiness here and hereafter.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:”WaLillāh Al-`Izzatu WaLirasūlihi WaLilmu`uminīna’’. ‘‘But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and to the believers.’’(Qur’ān 63:08). Glory and honor are for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and for those who follow their way, for the Mu’mins. Glory and honor belong to them. Whomever Allah gives these beautiful things to in the sight of Allah and the sight of people, no one else can give it. It is a high rank. Mu’mins must be proud of it.
They should not belittle themselves in front of non-believers and Kafirs. We are with Allah. Shukr to Allah, glory and honor are ours.
Of course, humbleness must be among believers. And there can’t be humbleness among Kafirs. Don’t belittle yourself in front of Kafirs. Because when they are with shaytan, they are always in disgrace. They are in disdain. They have nothing to do with honor. They have nothing to do with greatness. Those who are on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet are those who live with glory and honor. Mu’mins must know this.
Sometimes Mu’mins see themselves lower than Kafirs or people who have money but who are not on the way of Allah. They think everything

And when, for this example, for how when you coming some place, everybody he will take blessed. Allāh He give blessed as his level and everybody will be happy. For this, to come to visit awliyā’uLlāh, to visit maqām, it is order and good for believer. Don`t believe for shayṭān and his follower because they are jealous for people to get blessed without tiring. They thought it is not good. You must follow them to make something difficult. But no, you can with coming to take blessed from this place for your intention this. Allāh give you because you are not coming worshipping a graveyard, not coming to worship awliyā’uLlāh. No, you are coming here because this beloved for Allāh. Because they are beloved one for Allah, for sake of Allāh we are coming and Allāh reward you for your intention, your niyyah. This is everybody coming even they don`t know anything, they not praying, not doing, also they are believer. They have something in their heart so this it will be growing more with coming to place like this.
And after this, after khuṭbah, this awliyā’uLlāh he, they are in this big mosque. Because very big, there is four entrances for mosque. Everybody going from there. They want to kiss his hand and he was in front of door. Each one passing, kissing and greeting Shaykh and they going out. After this they said, everybody from other side going, “We greet Shaykh and we kiss his hand,“ they said, from four of door of this. Even with this he make karāmah to show people and they was all happy. They know he is awliyā’. But what happen? He is left this Bursa. He went to another city in Türkiye because he is, he don`t want to be, they don`t like to be famous. They like to hide.
Alhamdulilah this is, this awliyā’uLlāh we... They are beloved one for Allāh and we love them. And they are giving – as much you love them, they love you and give you from bless and from reward, Insha Allah.
Allāh keep us with them all time, Insha Allah.

BE HAPPY, YOU WILL BE IN JANNAH Friday, 29 September 2023 / 14 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1445
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 Allāh, we have good tidings. Islām is good tidings for Muslims. We reached these beautiful days of the birth of our Holy Prophet. We attained their virtue, Shukr to Allah. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam and Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla are giving good tidings to people.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa-abshirū bi-l-jannatillatī kuntum tū‘adūn. Naḥnu awliyā’ukum fī l-ḥayāti d-dunyā wa-fī l-ākhirah“ (41:30-31). May you have the good tidings, that Allāh promised you Paradise. You will be in Paradise. This is the best news. No need to fear, for believers and people who are Muslim. Those who are together with Allāh don`t need to be afraid, with permission of Allāh. The thought of going to hell makes them feel like crying. “Will we go to hell or Paradise?“ Don`t be afraid. Allāh gave you good tidings. The Word of Allāh is true. You have been promised Paradise. You are going to Paradise. These are great tidings for people in Islām, because when people make mistakes in this life and don`t correct them, it will be difficult. But whether they correct them or not, their life continues. However, the life of ākhirah is not like this. If they slip, may Allāh protect us, they cannot ever be saved.
One of the great awliyā’, Ḥaḍrat al-Būṣīrī, says in Qaṣīdah al-Burdah: “Bushrá lanā ma‘shara l-Islām inna lanā mina l-‘ināyati ruknan ghayra
Page688
munhadimi.“ He wrote these beautiful words. And people always sing them. They used to sing this. Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh adDāghistānī always used to repeat this verse. We heard it from his holy mouth many times. This verse says, “May good tidings be upon Muslims. We have a base like a firm castle. What we are based on will never collapse. Don`t be afraid. May you have good tidings.“ This way is a beautiful way. Therefore, being steadfast on this way is beneficial, first to people themselves. And it is beneficial to their families, relatives and other people. To benefit from Islām is something everyone can do. But there are enemies, like the ego, desire and shayṭān, which prevent it. There are four enemies. What do these enemies do? They don`t wish you goodness. They wish you badness. They want to destroy you. Don`t listen to them. They are... “Wa-khālifu n-nafsa“ – oppose your ego and oppose the rest.
Oppose shayṭān so that you have good tidings, and become a beloved servant of Allāh, so that you live in their Paradise forever, Insha Allah. May Allāh let us attain these good tidings for the honor of holy Mawlid, Insha Allah.
To be in, Muslim, and Islām, it is very nice, very blessed thing for human being. Because Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, and many time they are giving good tiding for believer, for Muslim. And especially this āyah we read: Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni rRaḥīm. “Wa-abshirū bi-l-jannatillatī kuntum tū‘adūn“ (41:30). Be, good tide, happy with this. What? With Paradise. Which Paradise? Which Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla promised you to be there. Allāh promised us to be in Paradise, in Jannah. And we are not listening for this. Many people, they are not doing what Allāh saying. Allāh... or some people, they are hopeless. We see sometimes people, they crying, “Oh, I not doing well. Am I be in Jannah, in Paradise?“ Yes, you will be. It`s Allāh‘Azza waJalla, He promised you. When you are in His way, you will be in Jannah. Don`t afraid. Don`t make shayṭān to make you not believe for this. It is, it must... You must believe also, this. Because everything Allāh saying, we must believe. No, you don`t have any choice, any chance to say
Page689
“no, maybe“ or “not”. No. Must, must believe. Allah says for us: “Be happy, you will be in Jannah.“ Allāh promise us.So for this, we are lucky. Everything Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, he said for ummah and he said in ḥadīth, “Ādam and below, he is under my flag.“ So we are happy, we are lucky with this, to be in his nation. Because whole prophets, they are asking bless from him, asking help from Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Alḥamdulilah, we are reach this happy day, and we celebrate for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Many of you, they are coming special to greet Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam in this occasion. and of course, he will be happy. He will be, give you reward. And you will get this good tiding: to be in Paradise with believer. To be in with Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam Paradise, also. This is good tiding.
And all awliyā’uLlāh, they are happy to be from nation of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Especially, there was Imām al-Būṣīrī who write Qaṣīdatu l-Burdah. One poem, one chapter in this: “Bushrá lanā ma‘shara l-Islām inna lanā mina l-‘ināyati ruknan ghayra munhadimi.“ This poem when I was young with, I was hearing this everyday, I think maybe.
Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdullah ad-Dāghistānī, he was saying this. Sometimes we go to mosque, we hearing from his window, it was up. And he was saying this. He was very happy with this chapter. What meaning? Good tiding for Muslim. They have strong thing to hold them. It will be not, cannot broke. This, for Muslim, nothing can broke this strong thing holding you. This is for whole Muslim. You must be hold in some strong thing, not weak thing. You will be crush, and you go and within to fall down. No. You must be happy, and ask to be hold this, Insha Allah.Wholeawliyā’uLlāh, they are giving good tiding. Don`t be listening for people who making everything, saying, “You will go to jahannam, you will go... You are not doing this. You go, you do this wrong. You, something, you are mushrik. You are... You will be in hell.“ Don`t listen to him. We listening for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet ṣal-
Page690
láLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Don`t listen to this, who ignorant, not understanding what Allāh saying. Allāh saying, “I promise you good tiding. You will be in Jannah.“ Alḥamdulilah, this enough for us.
No need to listen for other one, Insha Allah. Allāh make us, Insha Allah, whole in Jannah.

THE SECRET OF OUR SOULS Saturday, 30 September 2023 / 15 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1445
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.
The Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying: “Al-arwāḥu junūdun mujannadatun famā ta‘ārafa minhāi’talaf, wa-mā tanākara minhā ikhtalaf.“ Ṣadaqa RasūlaLlāh fī-māqāl aw kamāqāl, (the Messenger of Allāh, has said the truth in what he said, or as he said). Our souls are like soldiers. When Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created us in preeternity on the day of QālūBalá, there were souls. We were not there. We were not there physically. In the beginning, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created souls. Some of the souls there liked each other and got along very well. It is the same when they come to this world. In this world, you like some people and dislike other people. Some people love each other, some of them hate each other. This is their condition.
By the wisdom of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, when souls were created, a promise was taken from all of them regarding who would be a willing servant of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Everyone recognized Allāh ‘Azza waJalla and said they accepted Him. But when they came to this world, they said they didn`t know Him. They broke their promise. There cannot be familiarity with people who don`t keep their promise. There cannot be admiration for them. Therefore, this beautiful word of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says sometimes someone doesn`t get along with another person. He doesn`t know why he doesn`t get along well, and says it doesn`t come from his heart. This means they met in the spiritual world and didn`t like each other, or hated each other
Page692
then. When they are physically in this world, such souls cannot get along well, either. They cannot stand each other. They become enemies. It is the same for all people in this world. Both Muslims and nonMuslims have such situations.
Therefore, may Allāh make us love good people, Insha Allah, because it is a great favour. It is the wisdom of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. We cannot interfere in that wisdom. Asking why and how is not from adab. It is neither from adab, nor from any protocol, to ask this question. Some people think they can ask everything. Some things pertain to Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and things He knows Himself. They say His wisdom can`t be questioned. It is a beautiful saying. This is our condition. It is against adab to question one`s condition. And it weakens people`s īmān. May Allāh protect us, they may lose their īmān. Insha Allah, be with good people. Good people are beloved servants of Allāh. Protect them and be together with them. Don`t be against them. There can be familiarity with people on the way of our Holy Prophet, and the way of Allāh. And we ask that Allāh gives guidance to the rest, Insha Allah.
Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying for this ḥadīth, for our soul, Allāh “Al-arwāḥujunūdunmujannadatunfamāta‘ārafaminhāi’talaf, wa-mātanākaraminhāikhtalaf.“ Aw kamāqāl. Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, ṣadaqaRasūlaLlāhṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, he saying this ḥadīth for our souls. In time what Allāh He create whole soul, in, thousands years ago. Before creating our body, He create our soul. And this soul also... Many people, they are saying about soul, how it is, what it is, Like this, like that. This only we know for soul. Allāh, He create them before, some, maybe, fifty thousand year ago or more. Fifty thousand year of our time or Allāh`s time, we don`t know. But they create our soul long time ago. But for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, no time, no place. So, when... For us maybe billions years; for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, nothing at all. He is same, nothing change, nothing can be changed.This is the greatness of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. When He create our soul – and He create. He is Creator. For this also, we saying for this narrow mind people, what they are thinking, soul is, maybe one billion soul you have. So every soul, it
Page693
must be go from place to place. From man to mouse, mice, from mice to cat, from cat to cow, from cow to fish. They are, this, very narrow mind. They not knowing the greatness of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh create billions of souls for human beings. And He is still creating for other thing also. But for our subject, He create this. And this soul in that time. And this also, we say, prohibited, for soul, to ask for, “How is soul, how is...“ Is only for Allāh, know this. But what we know, as we said: He create them. And He take a promise from them. “Am I your Lord?“ They say, “Yes, we, You are our Lord. You are our Creator. You are everything.“ But when they come to body, their body they change them to not be loyal for their promise. They deny this.
This is not [the] problem. We are, our subject what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam saying for ḥadīth. He said, when this soul, that time also, they was seeing each other, soul. Some of them, they are happy with each other. They friend with, together. Some of them, they are enemy. Some of them, they are not so happy from people. Some of them, running from people.
It was like this also in soul... place where they was. And when this soul coming to dunyā, to earth, with body, coming to, with, from baby or from mother womb. Soafter this, when coming to life, some people, they are not like other people. Some people, they are happy with other people. Some people running from people. Some people, different. All this was, in that time, before thousands of year, also the soul was running away from some people. Some of them running together with, to people. Some of them happy with people.
So this, what, some little bit secret from what happen in this earth for human being. Some people, they hate other people. There are people, hate other people. This is wisdom of Allāh Azza wa-Jalla. Just, we are hoping to be happy with good people, with people who Allāh‘ love them, beloved one for Allāh. Allāh, we hope to be happy with them. Because many people they cannot be in such a place. They cannot be such... Very dirty place, they are happy, very happy there. But when
Page694
they are coming to nice place, good place, they will be not happy. As Mawlānā Shaykh, many times he was saying about rat in sewage. He is happy, very happy there. Where, he going up and jumping on, swimming in sewage. He is very happy there. But when you put them outside, not happy. Nothing for him.
For this we are, we hope Allāh make us to be whole time, with good people, happy with them, Insha Allah.

ONLY HIS LOVE WILL SAVE US Tuesday, 3 October 2023 / 18 Rabih 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 reached the Mawlid of our Holy Prophet and these holy days. Maa Sha Allah we gathered well both here and in the Dergah in Cyprus for the pleasure of Allah. There was a lot of people who came there. Even though this year was difficult in terms of money and the prices of tickets, much more people came. Shukr to Allah, they sacrifice everything for the honor of our Holy Prophet, Sub Han Allah. And Allah is certainly giving them from Hisvirtues and generosity in return for that.
The most important thing that Muslims should do is to respect our Holy Prophet and to remember him with love and respect. This is what Allah loves. Shaytan doesn’t like the things that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves and that should be done. Therefore, may we do things that shaytan dislikes. To respect our Holy Prophet and his Ahlu l-Bayt and the great Sahabah above all is not a bad thing.
There are many cheated people now. Why is that? There are many people who say he is a person just like us who is dead and gone. They live by as Muslims, but they have no Iman. They are Muslim but they don’t have as little Iman as the size of an atom in their hearts. If they had Iman, they wouldn’t say so, because our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is not an ordi-
Page696
nary person. He is the master of people and the beloved servant of Allah Allah certainly gives him what he asks for.
The intercession of our Holy Prophetis real. Therefore, our Holy Prophet asks for intercession from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.And this intercession is given to people who believe in the intercession. It is not meant for others. “I am Hafiz. I know all of the Qur’an. I know thousands of Hadith by heart.” There’s no need for this to people who don’t want intercession. There won’t be any intercession for them. Without the intercession, even if the whole world was a book and they learnt it by heart, they wouldn’t be saved. It is hard for them to be saved.
May Allah help us Insha Allah. May this love increase in our hearts. Allah will save us with this love. The love of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are what will save us. They are what bring benefit to us. Without love, there is nothing.
May Allah increase their love in us Insha Allah.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAWLID Wednesday, 4 October 2023 / 19 Rabih 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.
It is the holy month of Rabih ul-Awwal, the holy month of the birth of our Holy Prophet. It is the month of Mawlid. To honor it is to honor our Holy Prophet and to honor Allah. They used to recite Mawlids in this month in old times. And it is still going on all over the world, Shukr to Allah.
In some places, they don’t respect him. In addition to not showing respect, theymake Fatwas saying it is not permissible. Why should it not be permissible? What is it that we are doing? People are gathering for the pleasure of Allah. Mawlid tells about the beautiful moment of the birth of our Holy Prophet and the situations before it. All of these are the things that had taken place. It is recited in order to strengthen the Iman of people and in order to increase their love.
In some places, they want to prohibit it by saying it is Bid’ah, or there are manyshaytans who want to mess with people’s minds. There are places where Islam is very weak within the Islamic world. Only Mawlid of our Holy Prophet has remained there. Mawlid tells about how Islam came. And they want to prohibit it to people and leave nothing of Islam. This is it.With the permission of Allah, the biggest source of Iman is our Holy ProphetsallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And there are many people whose love increases by listening to Mawlid. There are many people
Page698
whose Iman grows in their hearts and who come to the right way. Therefore, shaytan and his followers don’t want it. They go against it. They want to prohibit it. Shukr to Allah, truth will show itself eventually. Falsehood and false ones will perish. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
People who call themselves Muslim but go against these practiced beautiful thingsare not doing the good thing. They are the people with weak Iman or no Iman at all. We ask that Allah gives guidance to them, because Muslims wish for goodness and nothing else. We ask that Allah gives them mind and understanding.
May Allah give Iman to all of us Insha Allah. May this month be blessed. May its Barakah be upon us Insha Allah.
May we attain the intercession of our Holy Prophet Insha Allah.

PRAYER IS THE LIGHT OF BELIEVERS Thursday, 5 October 2023 / 20 Rabi’ 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 is saying in this beautiful Hadith Sharif: prayer is the light, the light of Mu’mins and Muslims. The light of someone who prays increases. The light of those who don’t pray decreases. Even though they are Muslim, there is very little light. People still have the light of Islam. But the light of those who pray is different.
When they have this light, all kinds of beauty occur. When there is darkness, no goodness remains. Mankind must run after light, not after darkness. They should not go after and into darkness. Darkness is bad. The darkness of the night is brightened with the light of the day. People with bad intentions love the night. They love it as it is dark as themselves. But for believers, the night is for them to be in light. The worship they perform is more acceptable. A two-Rakā’at prayer made at night is 100 times or even more virtuous than that made during the day. There are holy words and Hadiths of our Holy Prophet which say this.
Therefore, people who don’t pray are in loss. They lose big things. People say in thisworld, “If only I did this, I’d be in profit. If only I did that, I’d take it.” They feel upset aboutDunya, whereas they have millions of benefits they miss in front of them. They don’t think about them. Your life is slipping away every minute. It is slipping through your feet and
Page700
hands and from everywhere. We must evaluate it and not lose it. And the most important is praying. “I am making Tasbihat until the evening. I have a little Tasbih in my hands. I make Tasbih with it”. If you do it for million years, it won’t replace one Rakā’ah prayer.
Therefore, prayer is the head of everything. In your work, your health, in anything there is no benefit without praying. With praying there is Barakah. With praying there is healthiness. With praying there is beauty. May Allah make praying easy for all of us. What is the most difficult thing in this world? It is praying; it is so to people.
But we make Dua that apart from wealth and property, our Iman gets stronger and that we keep our praying Insha Allah.

THE FORGIVENESS OF ALLAH Friday, 6 October 2023 / 21 Rabi’ 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 Allāha Yaghfiru Adh-Dhunūba Jamī`āan, ‘Innahu Huwa Al-Ghafūru Ar-Raĥīm”, “Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Qur’ān 39:53). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves forgiving. He gives people a chance at everyopportunity so that they repent and ask for forgiveness in order to forgive their sins out of His Mercy. It is the attribute of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Most Merciful and Most Forgiving are the attributes of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. With these attributes, Allah ‘Azza waJalla gives a chance every day and every moment so that people ask for forgiveness.
It is a great blessing for mankind; for Muslims and all people. Because some other people have to go to someone and say, “I did this. I did that” to ask for forgiveness from Allah. He asks for forgiveness in return for money. There is not such a thing in Islam. When you commit a sin and then repent and ask for forgiveness, Allah will forgive you.Also, as our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, the sins committed from a prayer to the next prayer are forgiven when you stand for next prayer. Sins are forgiven from Jum’ah to Jum’ah as well for people who pray Jum’ah prayer. And then for those who fast in Ramadan, sins are forgiven from Ramadan to Ramadan. It is a great blessing not to be in
Page702
need of anyone.Also, when you commit a sin, no need to tell anyone. Allah is As-Sattar, the Veiler No need to share it with anyone and then ask from Allah. Know your sin yourself and ask for forgiveness from Allah, Allah will veil you. And He won’t shame you. He won’t shame you around people on Judgment Day. The Mercy of Allah ‘Azza waJalla has no limits or boundaries. Everything of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is unlimited.People don’t know these great blessings. They go against Allah. People areungrateful most of the time. When they are done goodness, they do badness in return. May Allah improve them. People in Islam should guard the way of Islam. They must know the Greatness of Allah and Benevolence of Allah, the Mercy of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and Goodness of Allah. They must know that everything is from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla so that they are at rest. Otherwise, they cause suffering to themselves and don’t know what to do.Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is showing us how Magnificent and how Great He is through the holy word of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. To walk on the way of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the way to happiness of Muslims and to attaining the pleasure of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Otherwise, if you say, “I will do myself”, there will be hardship all the time. You will cause suffering to yourself. May Allah protect us.
As we said, people who repent and ask for forgiveness from prayer to prayer, their repentance will certainly be accepted. As long as you don’t commit a big sin There are also different ways of repentance for the big sins. And the Door of Repentance, the Door of Forgiveness of Allah جل جلاله is open. They will always be forgiven. But mankind should ask for forgiveness from Allah. That is what’s important. They shouldn’t say, “I committed too many sins, I won’t be forgiven”. Certainly, when they ask for forgiveness sincerely, Allah will forgive.
May Allah forgive us all Insha Allah.

We gift them firstly to our Holy Prophet, his Ahlu lBayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, souls of our late relatives, souls of all Muslims and Mu’mins. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.
May all good goals of those who recited be reached, may Allah accept it. For happiness here and hereafter.
Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.

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.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:”WaLillāh Al-`Izzatu WaLirasūlihi WaLilmu`uminīna’’. ‘‘But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and to the believers.’’(Qur’ān 63:08). Glory and honor are for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and for those who follow their way, for the Mu’mins. Glory and honor belong to them. Whomever Allah gives these beautiful things to in the sight of Allah and the sight of people, no one else can give it. It is a high rank. Mu’mins must be proud of it.
They should not belittle themselves in front of non-believers and Kafirs. We are with Allah. Shukr to Allah, glory and honor are ours.
Of course, humbleness must be among believers. And there can’t be humbleness among Kafirs. Don’t belittle yourself in front of Kafirs. Because when they are with shaytan, they are always in disgrace. They are in disdain. They have nothing to do with honor. They have nothing to do with greatness. Those who are on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet are those who live with glory and honor. Mu’mins must know this.
Sometimes Mu’mins see themselves lower than Kafirs or people who have money but who are not on the way of Allah. They think everything
