Sowe are saying again, we are very lucky people to be from his nation. We must – we are proud for this. When somebody say, I am proud because I am from this country, I am proud I am from that country. I am from this tribe. No – we are proud. All, we are proud to be Muslim, to be mu’min, to be from ummat of Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. The biggest luck for us.
Other thing, not important at all. We are sick, or we are ill, or we are poor, or we are hungry, or dying from hunger or dying from thirst. This is not important at all. The important – all this when you die, it will finish – but not finish, to be from nation of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam. Will be, whole this, nothing for you. All this will be reward for you. But we are not also [only] asking something from this. We are asking from Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, shafā‘ah, and from His mercy Allāh give us from His iḥsān, not testing us. Give us with His mercy.
Not make us to suffer from anything, Insha Allah, from this good month, month of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.

THE WAY OF HAPPINESS Saturday, 23 September 2023 / 7 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.
If they ask what is happiness in this world, it is to be in peace. A person at peace has happiness. Wherever he is, he is happy. And this is granted only to those who are together with pious ones on the way of our Holy Prophet and the Awliyā`. This peace and happiness we are talking about are only present for those who are on the way of Allāh. Those who have love for Allāh and love for our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam in their hearts and for those who are ṣaḥābah, Ahlu l-Bayt, mashāyikh; all of them are on this way. Whoever is on this way has a peaceful life and a prosperous ākhirah.Their ākhirah cannot be prosperous otherwise.
People who say, “I will do it myself. I will find a way by myself,“ can never find a way. When there is a guide, people don`t get lost. What we mean by a guide is that there is a murshid or a guide showing the way in front of them, that way leads to safety. Otherwise, people who don`t look for such way will be lost. Going here and there, they will lose their way. They will wander around but won`t reach anywhere. If you say you can find the way...
In the time of Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām when he ran away from Egypt, he came to the desert of Sinai. They divided the sea and passed to another side. Pharaoh and his soldiers were destroyed. This is one of the biggest miracles that people can see. They have seen many miracles there, and
Page668
this one was the greatest miracle in the world. As soon as they passed through the sea, the people rebelled immediately. But the wrath of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla came upon them. An order came for them to kill themselves. Even after everything was done, they did not obey. They said, “We will find a way.“ A great Prophet, ūlū l-‘Azm, SayyidunāMūsá ‘alayhi s-salām was guiding them in what to do. Orders were coming directly from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla: “Come here and you will reach safety. You will be in comfort and find peace.“ But they said, “No. We don`t want it. Go away.“ So when the wrath of Allāh came upon them, He said “Go away and be lost in this desert.“ “How will we get lost? The desert is here, the path is here. We can go through and out.“
They went out in the morning but were in same place in the evening. Morning out, evening same place. A month, a year, forty years they remained there until everyone died. They couldn`t find a way out. This is because when someone doesn`t follow a perfect person but follows his ego, he gets lost. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is showing us this as an example so that we certainly go on the right way with the right people. If you are with bad people, you will either not reach your destination, or get lost.
Shukr to Allāh, Allāh put us on the way of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. His way is the way of our Holy Prophet. The way goes on. We will keep on this way, Insha Allah. We will reach safety, Insha Allah. It is the way shown by Allāh. No one can walk on this way as he likes. May Allāh not let us go astray from this way, Insha Allah.
To be happy in this life, to be satisfied, this is the most thing human being they are looking for this. Each everywhere from East, North, South, everywhere people they are trying to be happy, to be satisfied, to be nothing make them anxious. What is the way for this? Only there is one way for this – to be your heart and you with good people, with following way of good people, which they are believer, their heart connected with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, with Prophet salláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This make them happy, make them satisfied. Nothing else.
Page669
No drug, no alcohol, no woman, no man, no gold, nothing can make you happy. You get this of somebody – “I want more.“ You get this. “I want more.“ But where is happiness? No, still nothing. If all this world for you, also nothing. This, the way of happiness, to follow good people, to be with good people, who are they connected with Prophet, with Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. The way, there must be somebody showing you way. Without showing, you will lose. With somebody taking you, who taking you straight way, it is important. But if you are by yourself, quickly you will be out of way and you finish or even you lose your way or you find yourself in dangerous.
Because this is what happen for Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām nation, where they see many miracle. The miracle what they see, maybe no any nation they saw this miracle. Many miracle but the biggest one to be make sea way for them, open sea and they pass safely in peace. And when they go to other side, the Pharaoh and his army all died in, sink in this water and they was in second place and quickly they forget this. They ask many thing for SayyidunāMūsá. Even in that place also many miracles happen, many thing happen. Even this Mount of Sinai, Allāh was very angry for them and they come on top of them and it will be broken them down. But Allāh save them and they order them to kill themselves.
Many miraclehappen. After this, whole this miracle, when they are, Prophet Mūsá ‘alayhi ssalām saying, order from Allāh to “Go to this city, go and go inside, enter in peace. Don`t worry.“ They are, even for this order, they are not believe and they was objecting. And after this, Allāh say to them, “Get lost there in this desert.“ They said, “No, that way, here desert, here other place. Quickly until nighttime we will be reach our place so no need to worry.“ But they went from morning to evening. They come same place. From morning to evening, next day, next week, next month, next year. Still they are going, going every day. Nothing happen. Coming to same place. Forty year and all of them die and they finish and their children they went out from this. So, and children they go out with because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla when He order and they not listening.
Page670
He order to SayyidunāMūsá, SayyidunāHārūn‘alayhi s-salām to be away from them, not go with them. So they have, without murshid, without anybody to show them way, until the whole of them die. After their children coming and SayyidunāYūsha‘‘alayhi s-salām, prophet Yūsha‘‘alayhi s-salām he take them and he enter to this city with also, with somebody to show them.
So we are, Alhamdulilah, we must be happy. Our guide, alḥamduliLlāh, he is spiritually and physically from Prophet salláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. He put us in way and he guide us, Alhamdulilah. This is a big favour, big happiness for us, Insha Allah. Allāh make us, this way, strongly hold this way, Insha Allah. Allāh raise their maqām and make barakah whole time. Sure they are, with their karāmah, with miracle, many, more than half of new people coming through him, through his coming, appear them for dream or another type, he send, call them here. We are happy with this.
This is also miracle of awliyā’, karāmatu lawliyā’. It is true and acceptable every Muslim believer, mu’min, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

IMPORTANT THAT HE LOVES US Sunday, 24 September 2023 / 8 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
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa-la-qad ṣarrafnā fī hādhā l-qur’āni lin-nāsi min kulli mathalin wa-kāna l-insānu aktharashay’in jadala“ (18:54). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that He explained everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. “Every problem, every goodness; We described them in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n and sent it to humanity and to everything else. There is everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. All of them accepted it. Jamā‘ah, people, birds, atoms, earth, mountains and stones accepted it except for mankind. Mankind objected to it the most.“ Mankind objects to everything from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says they are the ones who don`t accept the most. We see it all the time. It has been the same since the beginning. Mankind has been this way since Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām. If all of them accepted, there would be no problem at all.
But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent people to this world as a test for them – to accept the truth. People who accept this truth become beloved servants of Allāh. Who don`t love Ḥaqq are disliked servants of Allāh. Does Allāh not love? “I don`t love,“ says Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla in Qur’ān ‘AẓīmushSha’n. We can`t interfere in the business of Allāh. Allāh loves whom He loves and dislikes whom He dislikes. When the first order of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla came to our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, “Waandhir‘ ashīrataka l-aqrabīn“ (26:214). “Notify your tribe about this or-
Page672
der. Before that, notify your relatives.“ Such an order came to him. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam gathered all of them and asked them what they knew about him. Certainly, our Holy Prophet was a perfect person. He was perfect before the prophecy and he was perfect afterwards. There was no change. All of them replied, “We know you very well. You are the person we love very much.“
He started his speech, “Will you believe if I tell you something?“ They said they would. “What will you tell us?“ So our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam started telling beautiful words from Allāh and shared the orders. All of their hearts were softened. All of them were ready to believe until his uncle, a person called Abū Lahab, stood up and started shouting and swearing, saying bad words at our Holy Prophet. This is what Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla says. Most of mankind don`t accept. When he did this, the rest ran away from the gathering. They remained in unbelief and only later many of them became Muslim. For example, a person like Abū Lahab, is cursed in Qur’ān. There are sūrahs against him, both him and his wife. Because he was oppressing our Holy Prophet since the first day and remained his enemy until he died. The biggest enemy of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was his uncle. But he was harmful to himself. He is in hell forever. And that curse is still going on.
But our Holy Prophet is the one on the highest station in the universe forever. Those who follow him have high stations too. They live with honour. They become beloved servants of Allāh. Therefore, do not question the orders of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. “Why is this so? It is written so and so in Qur’ān.“ Some people dare make judgments with their little minds. Therefore, we must pay attention to this.
We are in the holy month of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam. We are in the month of his birth. Don`t fail to respect him. Don`t let anything come to your heart. Shayṭān can send waswasah (whisperings) to your heart. But beware of speaking it out loud. Don`t say, “Why
Page673
is this so? Why is that so?“ Otherwise, all your life will be spoilt and you will be in loss forever. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa-la-qad ṣarrafnā fī hādhā lqur’āni li-n-nāsi min kulli mathalin wa-kāna linsānu aktharashay’in jadala“ (18:54). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
This verses from Qur’ān āyah saying, “Everything Allāh explain in Qur’ān.“ Qur’ān, it is the word of our Lord Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Creator. It is very... Everything in it. Nothing out of this. And Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, “We explain everything in this Qur’ān. Nobody can object for this Qur’ān. But people, most of them not accept this. They are not happy with this, not following this.“ But who are following, he will be happy. Who not following, no he will not be. And who following, Allāh love them. Who not following, not accept, he, Allāh not happy with them, He is, He not love them.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla say in Qur’ān, “I don`t like who are not believer.“ How He is not love them and give them everything? They have car, they have plane, they have money, they have land, they have everything. It is not problem for this — who love, who not love. It is important — this all nothing, not forever. Only short period and they will be good, left and go without anything everybody. And we are, we cannot object for Allāh`s love or He not love, you cannot say “why?“. This “why“ for us – forbidden. For believer, for mu’min people, forbidden to say anything against Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla what He said. Maybe for learning it can be, but not for objecting. This what they do, the most people. This is not good for you. Allāh... Nothing affect Allāh‘Azza waJalla.
For this, we are following order of Allāh, to be beloved for Him. The most happiness for human being, not only for believer, to be beloved for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. If Helove him, everything love him. If not love him, nothing be good with him. And this many, what we saying, most of people objecting. Saying this, saying that. Even Prophet ṣal-
Page674
láLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam... This when beginning order coming from Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla to tell people about Islām, about īmān, about to call them to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. First order to him“First tell this for your relative, the nearest people to you. Tell them about this order of Allāh, about this good thing. They will be happy if they accept.“ And Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, all of them, they was loving him because he was perfect from before prophecy even. Everybody love him because he very honest, very polite. Anything good behave, he was... has Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
So they come together. Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam come, “I will tell you very important thing for you. My relative, first I must tell you. Come here.“ They was gathering in one place. And he ask them, “How you know me? I am honest or do, you hear any lie from me, or do you see any bad thing I or do you hear any lie from me or anything?“ They said, “No. You are the most perfect one. You are most honest one. And we are, we love you. What you, you will tell us?“ He beginning to tell them about īmān, about Islām. And they was happy, all of them, their heart become soft. They nearly already they will be take shahādah and be Muslim. Suddenly this, his uncle, Abū Lahab, coming, shouting, swearing, just saying bad word about Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam. And he say:“How you do, you saying this, how this...?“ And so everybody was unhappy and they left without take shahādah or to be Muslim.
All the nearest one, they was. Only very few of them, they was already Muslim. But for other, they was disaster for many of them who not take shahādah. But his mission, it was to tell truth, to make people to be happy but as Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla [saying] most of people objecting. So if anyone objecting for good thing, don`t follow him. Follow only way of Allāh -Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla will be happy with you. So with this, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam, he was billions and billions from his time until Qiyāmah following him, loving him. But the nearest one who was uncle, he was cursed, he and his wife forever. And the slave or anyone
Page675
who was weak and they don`t have anything, they was praised and beloved for Allāh forever.
So don`t be object for Allāh`s ‘Azza wa-Jalla word. This is very important, very dangerous for to say something. Of course, as we said, shayṭān can whisper in your heart but don`t say with your tongue what you think. If you are in your heart, waswasah for everybody. Many people they are coming asking, “What I have this waswasah?“ No, no problem. In your heart, it is test from Allāh. So but don`t say, “I think this... my heart... coming in my heart...“ Never say this. Just say, “Astaghfirullah.“ It is okay, no problem for you. Allāh keep us in way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allāh, Insha Allah, love us.
We are trying to love Him but more important, He love us, Insha Allah.

LOVE ALLĀH BY FOLLOWING THE PROPHET Tuesday, 26 September 2023 / 11 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1445 Lefke, Cyprus.
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: “Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūnaLlāha fattabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumuLlāhu wa-yaghfirlakum dhunūbakum“(3:31). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “If you love Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, follow my way and Allāh will love you.“ The love of Allāh is our wish. Our goal is the love of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is also the reason why we have gathered here.Maa Sha Allah, people have come from all over the world. May Allāh be pleased. For the pleasureofAllāh, for the love of Allāh, out of affection for Allāh, we are walking on the way of our Holy Prophet, for this way is the greatest favour to us. It is the greatest virtue Allāhhas given to us. We must make shukr to Allāh, as many people are not aware of it.
Even if they know, they don`t care if it is today or any other day. Other days are sometimes more important for people. But the main, important thing is to follow the way of our Holy Prophet. To remember him at every chance and occasion, to ask for help from him,to ask for strength from him are necessary things for believers. Other things are not important.When they are necessary, He gives them. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives to people whom He loves.As we said, let Allāh love you. It is not important if others love you or not. Some people say, this man said this,
Page677
that man came or didn`t come, and did or didn`t do something. No need for that. People should mind themselves. They must look at themselves so that they realize what kind of favours they have. If they look at others, they will never be happy. And they won`t attain the pleasure of Allāh, because when you don`t look at what was given by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and look at this world instead, you will be inclined to this world. And if you turn away from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will turn away from you. It will be useless.
Therefore, may Allāh be pleased with you, as you came for the pleasure of Allāh from so far away. We have all gathered here together. You also made ziyārah of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. His barakah comes from the barakah of our Holy Prophet and from the barakah of Allāh ‘Azza waJalla. Therefore, those who came here will surely not leave emptyhanded.Considering those who say this and that – that this is accepted and that is not accepted – as we said, don`t listen to what they say. Don`t deal with them.Thanks to Allāh, our way is the beautiful way, the way of light, the way of our Holy Prophet, the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the way of Paradise and happiness, with permission of Allāh. May Allāh make it blessed for everyone. May Allāhbe pleased, because our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam says, when someone goes to visit his Muslim brother for the pleasure of Allāh, a reward is written, and a sin forgiven, for every step that Muslim takes. And he is raised up one rank. Shukr to Allāh, you made more than one step; there are many people who came from as far as millions of steps away.
Therefore, they will take great profit back with them, with permission of Allāh. May Allāh make it last. May He show this way to those who don`t know it, Insha Allah.
May they know it too, and benefit from it. This is the benefit.

WHAT YOU WANT IS IN FRONT OF YOU Wednesday, 27 September 2023 / 12 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
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Yā-ayyuhā l-insānumāgharraka birabbika l-karīm. Alladhīkhalaqaka fa-sawwāka fa-‘adalakk“ (82:6-7). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “O mankind, how are you cheated? How are they cheating you that you don`t recognize Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla?“ Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created you. And He created you in the best shape. He gave you the best things. He made you with both a high rank and a position from which you can do everything. And He made everything under your command. But you are cheated by others. You have ruined yourself. This is good and momentous advice for all people.
People think they can earn with their minds, that they will have fun and entertain themselves and be saved without doing anything. They have no knowledge of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, or going to His presence. This time we are living in is the worst time in the history of mankind, because people of olden times knew there was a creator. But nowadays they mostly deny Him. They say, “Do whatever you want. Enjoy yourselves.“ But they cannot. It doesn`t work. Not everyone can enjoy himself. And for those who can, this enjoyment doesn`t bring them anything, after some time. They ask for something else. They ask for more. They search. People are searching. What they search for is in front of their eyes. But they don`t see. Because of the badness they do, they don`t
Page679
see the huge thing in front of them. They see everything aside from it. This is mankind`s kufr, rejection of Allāh. Kufr is not good. Īmān, to believe in Allāh, is good.
Allah created us. He created us in the best shape. He granted us the best things. He gave us arms and legs, eyes and mind. He told us and showed us everything mankind should be, and is, able to do, from the beginning until the end of their lives. There is no need for other things. If mankind goes on this way, they will not need anything. And their end will be good. Most importantly, they will attain the hereafter. They will attain the hereafter –ākhirah. Otherwise, they run around this world in vain. In the end, they won`t have accomplished anything. They will lose everything. May Allāh protect us.
May Allāh put His love in our hearts, for the honour of our Holy Prophet, Insha Allah. The greatest profit for Muslims is the love of our Holy Prophet. And to show respect to him is our most accepted worship in the presence of Allāh. May Allāh not let peoplebe misled. There are many confused people around Muslims. There are many people among them who say the good is bad and the bad is good. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur’ān: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Yā-ayyuhā l-insānumāgharraka bi-rabbika l-karīm, alladhī khalaqaka fa-sawwāka fa-‘adalak, fīayyiṣūratin māshā’arakkabak“ (82:6-8). Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, “O son of Ādam, who make you to cheat you? And make you to not believe in your Lord, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, who is create you, make you good shape, who give every good thing. And the best creation, He create you, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And you still not believing in Creator.
Allāh, He, Alhamdulilah, He create us in best shape. Maybe some people they say, “If we have four legs, we can be running more than this.“ Now people, they are running also. Or, “If we have big ear, we can hear more better.“ Or, “Big eyes, we can...“ Everything, this, become ugly if
Page680
you do this. Even they... Some people they said, wing. If they put wing, it will be also not... They make, stupid people, picture – but even in picture, if they put wing, they put small one. For to carry fifty, sixty or eighty kg [kilogram] man, you need one wing, it is, not even this room enough for this. Even in the picture, they are not useable. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He create us in the best shape, and best position. And He honoured us.
But people they not believe. Why they not believe? Because they are cheated with other people. They said this, “No creator. There is nothing. Only we live in this life, and after this, nothing. But we, when we die, we will be only earth.“ And this, even they don`t want earth, they burn now. They – only little bit ashes, and they said, finished. You, you can think this finish. Who brought you to this life, He not ask you – what for you. And when He will recreate you, also will not ask you. You, so you will be regret and you will be, feel, real[ly that] you have been very badly cheated. Very badly, they cheat you, for your life finish forever, with this.
But people now they are saying – They are thinking they are very clever, and only they are looking after happiness here, and they said, “Okay, we are happy now.“ But here happiness not... for they, people, they got bored. Even they have everything, they looking for another thing. For another thing, going this side. No, this also, I will fedup. We go to other side, also fed up. But they are, what they are looking, they said — many people, human being, they are in looking, researching for something, for good thing for themself. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He just put in front of them this, what they want, and calling them, “Come here to be happy.“ But they are not even seeing. There, like mountain in front of eye, they are not looking. Looking for other side. Looking for other side until they will die. And after, they will see this reality.
Allāh help people to come to hidāyah. This is what we are – human being – in need. They said human being they need this, they need that. They need hidāyah, they need belief, and ask for forgiveness from their
Page681
Creator, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh making us in this way, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, which it is the way of what Allāh love. When you go in this way, you will be happy. Not be regret at all. This is guarantee from Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Alḥamdulilah, Allāh give hidāyah for all people, we are asking. We are not happy, or jealous for people. Maybe too much people coming to Islām, coming to hidāyah, and it will be too much? No. Allāh... As a mu’min, he like good thing for other. Never like bad thing.
Allāh... for this, the best thing for everybody: to believe, īmān, Insha Allah. Allāh give us, Insha Allah.

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.
Going to visit Awliyā’ brings benefit to everyone. Their barakah comes over those who visit. First of all it is good to visit the maqām of our Holy Prophet. Certainly, the greatest virtue is in visiting him. But of course, it is not easy for people to go there and visit him every day. Visiting Ṣaḥābah, Mashāyikh, and Awliyā’ wherever they live brings virtue and reward, great thawāb as well. Their doors are the door of Allāh. Whoever comes for the pleasure of Allāh, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla gives him whatever he needs. Whatever their portion, certainly it is given to those who enter those doors. They come for the pleasure of Allāh. Whatever intention they have, Allāh gives their reward. It is always so.
Awliyā’ were sometimes not known to the people but their maqām is famous. They become more known after they pass away. Some Awliyā’ are known while alive as well. Therefore, for every person, how much it is needed for them, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla certainly gives reward to them based on their level. There was Somunju Baba who lived in Bursa. He lived in the time of Ḥaḍrat Yıldırım Bayezit. He used to make bread and sell to people. But people didn`t see he was awliyā’. They knew him as derwīsh and a blessed man. They used to visit him and buy bread from him. They asked for a blessing and his du‘ā’. The son-in-law of ḤaḍratSulṭān Bayezit was Emir Sulṭān then – the son of Amīr Kulāl who came from Bukhara. He was the Sulṭān`s son-in-law. The Sulṭān built Ulu Camii (The Great Mosque) in Bursa. He decided to have the most
Page683
knowledgeable man read the khuṭbah. So he opened it on Friday and asked that person to read khuṭbah. He told his son-in-law, Sayyid Amīr Sulṭān, “You can do this.“ He said, “No. There is a greater, a superior person, there is a shaykh here. He will do it.“
The Sulṭān did not object, of course. Obedient to the order, Somunju Baba went up to give the khuṭbah. He explained al-FātiḥahSharīf in his khuṭbah. And he explained it in seven different ways. Firstly, he explained it in the way that the simplest people could understand. And then he explained it to people who have just started learning. And then in the way that hodjas could understand, and then in the way scholars could understand, and then in the way the Sulṭān could understand, and then in the way mashāyikh could understand. The seventh was the explanation no one could understand. It means whoever comes to this door, everyone takes his share... No one goes back empty-handed. Everyone benefits from that favour. The explanation of it in the way people can understand is that when you make a visit to any awliyā’, you will certainly profit. It will be given based on your level. Everyone will be happy. No one will be upset and say, “I took a very little.“ Because it is the gift of Allāh. They don`t realize what they got. But it is certainly written as the portion of people.
And then this Somunju Baba went out of the mosque after shaking hands with everyone. He greeted everyone and shook hands. The mosque had four doors. Everyone exited through one of those four doors. When they went out, everyone said, “I shook hands with him.“ Everyone who exiting through the doors said that. The miracle is that the same person was seen at all four doors. The miracles of awliyā’ are real. After showing that miracle and after becoming recognized, this holy being left Bursa and moved to Aksaray. People who come to holy ones leave with big gifts. They return with big favours. Therefore, visiting these holy ones is disliked by shayṭān and those together with shayṭān because they know and don`t wish any goodness to people and believers out of envy and jealousy. May Allāh protect us. May Allāh not
Page684
separate us from these doors. May their help and barakah be upon us, Insha Allah.
This place is with awliyā’uLlāh. Everybody coming visiting them, sure he will be get blessed and get good thing with him. Anybody coming here for intention to visit, to see this place or other place like this with holy people, their graveyard – it is big favour for who visit this. And the first, the biggest one, of course, our Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Masjid anNabawī. With visiting him, with his companion, with other – this is the most perfect one, most rewarded one. But ofcourse we are to go there or to stay there or to... It is not easy. It is very difficult. Ofcourse sometimes if anybody can visit, he must visit to get this blessed from Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
But other place also, everywhere, there is this blessed graveyard, blessed maqām. First for Ahlu l-Bayt some places, some places with companion, ṣaḥābah of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. They are respected and they are known. When in each country, their people, they from generation[s], they keep and they said, “This ṣaḥābah in this place, that in that place.“ Soto visit them also good, very good. After this, mashāyikh or tābi‘īn, tābi‘ī t-tābi‘īn, awliyā’uLlāh. To visit them, this you get blessed because this place they are under light of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. It`s raining bless[ings] for this maqām. Each one coming there, they can, they take as much their maqām, they are in need. Because maybe some people they coming there, they are not knowing anything for, from religion or from to what is this. Just to get blessed. We have this many people, they are not praying, not doing anything, but they coming for sake of Allāh to visit this holy people, holy place. So Allāh give them each one for how much he, his afford.
For this, there was in old time, maybe for four hundred year or some, around this, in Bursa. It`s more than this. It is six hundred year, before Istanbul there was capital of Ottoman, Bursa. And there was this Sulṭān Bayezid, Yıldırım Bayezid. His son-in-law, Amīr Sulṭān, he is son of
Page685
Sayyid Amīr Kulāl from our silsilah, Naqshbandī. His father in Bukhara, he was in... Sulṭān make him son-in-law because he was, he know the value of ‘ulamā’ and awliyā’. And he intend, Sulṭān, to build big mosque. Now it`s still there, Ulu Camii calling. And big mosque meaning, huge mosque. It`s very nice, it`s still there. So he built and finish and he said to his son-in-law, “I intend to make the most knowledgeable one to make khuṭbah. begin opening, it will be day Friday, Jum‘ah. And it will be khuṭbah, Jum‘ahkhuṭbah with you. You are the most I know, knowledgeable and I want you to make khuṭbah there.“ Sayyid Amīr Sulṭān he said, “No. There is one he is more knowledgeable than me. I will, Insha Allah, he make this khuṭbah.“
OfcourseSulṭān they have adab, not arguing like this, “Who? Why? Not this, what this?“ He said okay and this was one baker making bread and his people coming and taking, buying from his bread. They know he is blessed one but they don`t know he is ‘ālim or scholar or awliyā’. Just they are very happy with him. They know he is blessed one and so he said for him, “You will make this khuṭbah.“ And he make khuṭbah this.
They call him Sumunju Baba meaning bread father, something like this. Sohe went through khuṭbah and explain Sūratu l-Fātiḥah, in seven different understanding for people. First one he speak and the children or normal people who not knowing anything, they were listening, they understanding and they were very happy. They explain what they can understand and all this understanding. After this second khuṭbah he make second explanation, explain for Fātiḥah for who little bit knowing to reading and Qur’ān and just not ‘ālim. Third for imāms for this not so very knowledgeable one. After he make for ‘ulamā’ khuṭbah. This people... But what they... Every time he making, other people not understanding. Only what this stage understanding. After he make for mashāyikh and after for Sulṭān and after for he make one, nobody understand. Seven different thing and what people they was astonishing – “This is our derwīsh Baba. He is, we buy from him bread and he make bread and how he is like this?“ They know he is awliyā`uLlāh.

Sowe are saying again, we are very lucky people to be from his nation. We must – we are proud for this. When somebody say, I am proud because I am from this country, I am proud I am from that country. I am from this tribe. No – we are proud. All, we are proud to be Muslim, to be mu’min, to be from ummat of Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. The biggest luck for us.
Other thing, not important at all. We are sick, or we are ill, or we are poor, or we are hungry, or dying from hunger or dying from thirst. This is not important at all. The important – all this when you die, it will finish – but not finish, to be from nation of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam. Will be, whole this, nothing for you. All this will be reward for you. But we are not also [only] asking something from this. We are asking from Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, shafā‘ah, and from His mercy Allāh give us from His iḥsān, not testing us. Give us with His mercy.
Not make us to suffer from anything, Insha Allah, from this good month, month of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE WAY OF HAPPINESS Saturday, 23 September 2023 / 7 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.
If they ask what is happiness in this world, it is to be in peace. A person at peace has happiness. Wherever he is, he is happy. And this is granted only to those who are together with pious ones on the way of our Holy Prophet and the Awliyā`. This peace and happiness we are talking about are only present for those who are on the way of Allāh. Those who have love for Allāh and love for our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam in their hearts and for those who are ṣaḥābah, Ahlu l-Bayt, mashāyikh; all of them are on this way. Whoever is on this way has a peaceful life and a prosperous ākhirah.Their ākhirah cannot be prosperous otherwise.
People who say, “I will do it myself. I will find a way by myself,“ can never find a way. When there is a guide, people don`t get lost. What we mean by a guide is that there is a murshid or a guide showing the way in front of them, that way leads to safety. Otherwise, people who don`t look for such way will be lost. Going here and there, they will lose their way. They will wander around but won`t reach anywhere. If you say you can find the way...
In the time of Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām when he ran away from Egypt, he came to the desert of Sinai. They divided the sea and passed to another side. Pharaoh and his soldiers were destroyed. This is one of the biggest miracles that people can see. They have seen many miracles there, and
Page668
this one was the greatest miracle in the world. As soon as they passed through the sea, the people rebelled immediately. But the wrath of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla came upon them. An order came for them to kill themselves. Even after everything was done, they did not obey. They said, “We will find a way.“ A great Prophet, ūlū l-‘Azm, SayyidunāMūsá ‘alayhi s-salām was guiding them in what to do. Orders were coming directly from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla: “Come here and you will reach safety. You will be in comfort and find peace.“ But they said, “No. We don`t want it. Go away.“ So when the wrath of Allāh came upon them, He said “Go away and be lost in this desert.“ “How will we get lost? The desert is here, the path is here. We can go through and out.“
They went out in the morning but were in same place in the evening. Morning out, evening same place. A month, a year, forty years they remained there until everyone died. They couldn`t find a way out. This is because when someone doesn`t follow a perfect person but follows his ego, he gets lost. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is showing us this as an example so that we certainly go on the right way with the right people. If you are with bad people, you will either not reach your destination, or get lost.
Shukr to Allāh, Allāh put us on the way of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. His way is the way of our Holy Prophet. The way goes on. We will keep on this way, Insha Allah. We will reach safety, Insha Allah. It is the way shown by Allāh. No one can walk on this way as he likes. May Allāh not let us go astray from this way, Insha Allah.
To be happy in this life, to be satisfied, this is the most thing human being they are looking for this. Each everywhere from East, North, South, everywhere people they are trying to be happy, to be satisfied, to be nothing make them anxious. What is the way for this? Only there is one way for this – to be your heart and you with good people, with following way of good people, which they are believer, their heart connected with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, with Prophet salláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This make them happy, make them satisfied. Nothing else.
Page669
No drug, no alcohol, no woman, no man, no gold, nothing can make you happy. You get this of somebody – “I want more.“ You get this. “I want more.“ But where is happiness? No, still nothing. If all this world for you, also nothing. This, the way of happiness, to follow good people, to be with good people, who are they connected with Prophet, with Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. The way, there must be somebody showing you way. Without showing, you will lose. With somebody taking you, who taking you straight way, it is important. But if you are by yourself, quickly you will be out of way and you finish or even you lose your way or you find yourself in dangerous.
Because this is what happen for Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām nation, where they see many miracle. The miracle what they see, maybe no any nation they saw this miracle. Many miracle but the biggest one to be make sea way for them, open sea and they pass safely in peace. And when they go to other side, the Pharaoh and his army all died in, sink in this water and they was in second place and quickly they forget this. They ask many thing for SayyidunāMūsá. Even in that place also many miracles happen, many thing happen. Even this Mount of Sinai, Allāh was very angry for them and they come on top of them and it will be broken them down. But Allāh save them and they order them to kill themselves.
Many miraclehappen. After this, whole this miracle, when they are, Prophet Mūsá ‘alayhi ssalām saying, order from Allāh to “Go to this city, go and go inside, enter in peace. Don`t worry.“ They are, even for this order, they are not believe and they was objecting. And after this, Allāh say to them, “Get lost there in this desert.“ They said, “No, that way, here desert, here other place. Quickly until nighttime we will be reach our place so no need to worry.“ But they went from morning to evening. They come same place. From morning to evening, next day, next week, next month, next year. Still they are going, going every day. Nothing happen. Coming to same place. Forty year and all of them die and they finish and their children they went out from this. So, and children they go out with because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla when He order and they not listening.
Page670
He order to SayyidunāMūsá, SayyidunāHārūn‘alayhi s-salām to be away from them, not go with them. So they have, without murshid, without anybody to show them way, until the whole of them die. After their children coming and SayyidunāYūsha‘‘alayhi s-salām, prophet Yūsha‘‘alayhi s-salām he take them and he enter to this city with also, with somebody to show them.
So we are, Alhamdulilah, we must be happy. Our guide, alḥamduliLlāh, he is spiritually and physically from Prophet salláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. He put us in way and he guide us, Alhamdulilah. This is a big favour, big happiness for us, Insha Allah. Allāh make us, this way, strongly hold this way, Insha Allah. Allāh raise their maqām and make barakah whole time. Sure they are, with their karāmah, with miracle, many, more than half of new people coming through him, through his coming, appear them for dream or another type, he send, call them here. We are happy with this.
This is also miracle of awliyā’, karāmatu lawliyā’. It is true and acceptable every Muslim believer, mu’min, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

IMPORTANT THAT HE LOVES US Sunday, 24 September 2023 / 8 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
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa-la-qad ṣarrafnā fī hādhā l-qur’āni lin-nāsi min kulli mathalin wa-kāna l-insānu aktharashay’in jadala“ (18:54). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that He explained everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. “Every problem, every goodness; We described them in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n and sent it to humanity and to everything else. There is everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. All of them accepted it. Jamā‘ah, people, birds, atoms, earth, mountains and stones accepted it except for mankind. Mankind objected to it the most.“ Mankind objects to everything from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says they are the ones who don`t accept the most. We see it all the time. It has been the same since the beginning. Mankind has been this way since Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām. If all of them accepted, there would be no problem at all.
But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent people to this world as a test for them – to accept the truth. People who accept this truth become beloved servants of Allāh. Who don`t love Ḥaqq are disliked servants of Allāh. Does Allāh not love? “I don`t love,“ says Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla in Qur’ān ‘AẓīmushSha’n. We can`t interfere in the business of Allāh. Allāh loves whom He loves and dislikes whom He dislikes. When the first order of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla came to our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, “Waandhir‘ ashīrataka l-aqrabīn“ (26:214). “Notify your tribe about this or-
Page672
der. Before that, notify your relatives.“ Such an order came to him. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam gathered all of them and asked them what they knew about him. Certainly, our Holy Prophet was a perfect person. He was perfect before the prophecy and he was perfect afterwards. There was no change. All of them replied, “We know you very well. You are the person we love very much.“
He started his speech, “Will you believe if I tell you something?“ They said they would. “What will you tell us?“ So our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam started telling beautiful words from Allāh and shared the orders. All of their hearts were softened. All of them were ready to believe until his uncle, a person called Abū Lahab, stood up and started shouting and swearing, saying bad words at our Holy Prophet. This is what Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla says. Most of mankind don`t accept. When he did this, the rest ran away from the gathering. They remained in unbelief and only later many of them became Muslim. For example, a person like Abū Lahab, is cursed in Qur’ān. There are sūrahs against him, both him and his wife. Because he was oppressing our Holy Prophet since the first day and remained his enemy until he died. The biggest enemy of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was his uncle. But he was harmful to himself. He is in hell forever. And that curse is still going on.
But our Holy Prophet is the one on the highest station in the universe forever. Those who follow him have high stations too. They live with honour. They become beloved servants of Allāh. Therefore, do not question the orders of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. “Why is this so? It is written so and so in Qur’ān.“ Some people dare make judgments with their little minds. Therefore, we must pay attention to this.
We are in the holy month of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam. We are in the month of his birth. Don`t fail to respect him. Don`t let anything come to your heart. Shayṭān can send waswasah (whisperings) to your heart. But beware of speaking it out loud. Don`t say, “Why
Page673
is this so? Why is that so?“ Otherwise, all your life will be spoilt and you will be in loss forever. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa-la-qad ṣarrafnā fī hādhā lqur’āni li-n-nāsi min kulli mathalin wa-kāna linsānu aktharashay’in jadala“ (18:54). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
This verses from Qur’ān āyah saying, “Everything Allāh explain in Qur’ān.“ Qur’ān, it is the word of our Lord Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Creator. It is very... Everything in it. Nothing out of this. And Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, “We explain everything in this Qur’ān. Nobody can object for this Qur’ān. But people, most of them not accept this. They are not happy with this, not following this.“ But who are following, he will be happy. Who not following, no he will not be. And who following, Allāh love them. Who not following, not accept, he, Allāh not happy with them, He is, He not love them.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla say in Qur’ān, “I don`t like who are not believer.“ How He is not love them and give them everything? They have car, they have plane, they have money, they have land, they have everything. It is not problem for this — who love, who not love. It is important — this all nothing, not forever. Only short period and they will be good, left and go without anything everybody. And we are, we cannot object for Allāh`s love or He not love, you cannot say “why?“. This “why“ for us – forbidden. For believer, for mu’min people, forbidden to say anything against Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla what He said. Maybe for learning it can be, but not for objecting. This what they do, the most people. This is not good for you. Allāh... Nothing affect Allāh‘Azza waJalla.
For this, we are following order of Allāh, to be beloved for Him. The most happiness for human being, not only for believer, to be beloved for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. If Helove him, everything love him. If not love him, nothing be good with him. And this many, what we saying, most of people objecting. Saying this, saying that. Even Prophet ṣal-
Page674
láLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam... This when beginning order coming from Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla to tell people about Islām, about īmān, about to call them to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. First order to him“First tell this for your relative, the nearest people to you. Tell them about this order of Allāh, about this good thing. They will be happy if they accept.“ And Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, all of them, they was loving him because he was perfect from before prophecy even. Everybody love him because he very honest, very polite. Anything good behave, he was... has Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
So they come together. Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam come, “I will tell you very important thing for you. My relative, first I must tell you. Come here.“ They was gathering in one place. And he ask them, “How you know me? I am honest or do, you hear any lie from me, or do you see any bad thing I or do you hear any lie from me or anything?“ They said, “No. You are the most perfect one. You are most honest one. And we are, we love you. What you, you will tell us?“ He beginning to tell them about īmān, about Islām. And they was happy, all of them, their heart become soft. They nearly already they will be take shahādah and be Muslim. Suddenly this, his uncle, Abū Lahab, coming, shouting, swearing, just saying bad word about Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam. And he say:“How you do, you saying this, how this...?“ And so everybody was unhappy and they left without take shahādah or to be Muslim.
All the nearest one, they was. Only very few of them, they was already Muslim. But for other, they was disaster for many of them who not take shahādah. But his mission, it was to tell truth, to make people to be happy but as Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla [saying] most of people objecting. So if anyone objecting for good thing, don`t follow him. Follow only way of Allāh -Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla will be happy with you. So with this, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam, he was billions and billions from his time until Qiyāmah following him, loving him. But the nearest one who was uncle, he was cursed, he and his wife forever. And the slave or anyone
Page675
who was weak and they don`t have anything, they was praised and beloved for Allāh forever.
So don`t be object for Allāh`s ‘Azza wa-Jalla word. This is very important, very dangerous for to say something. Of course, as we said, shayṭān can whisper in your heart but don`t say with your tongue what you think. If you are in your heart, waswasah for everybody. Many people they are coming asking, “What I have this waswasah?“ No, no problem. In your heart, it is test from Allāh. So but don`t say, “I think this... my heart... coming in my heart...“ Never say this. Just say, “Astaghfirullah.“ It is okay, no problem for you. Allāh keep us in way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allāh, Insha Allah, love us.
We are trying to love Him but more important, He love us, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LOVE ALLĀH BY FOLLOWING THE PROPHET Tuesday, 26 September 2023 / 11 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1445 Lefke, Cyprus.
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: “Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūnaLlāha fattabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumuLlāhu wa-yaghfirlakum dhunūbakum“(3:31). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “If you love Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, follow my way and Allāh will love you.“ The love of Allāh is our wish. Our goal is the love of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is also the reason why we have gathered here.Maa Sha Allah, people have come from all over the world. May Allāh be pleased. For the pleasureofAllāh, for the love of Allāh, out of affection for Allāh, we are walking on the way of our Holy Prophet, for this way is the greatest favour to us. It is the greatest virtue Allāhhas given to us. We must make shukr to Allāh, as many people are not aware of it.
Even if they know, they don`t care if it is today or any other day. Other days are sometimes more important for people. But the main, important thing is to follow the way of our Holy Prophet. To remember him at every chance and occasion, to ask for help from him,to ask for strength from him are necessary things for believers. Other things are not important.When they are necessary, He gives them. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives to people whom He loves.As we said, let Allāh love you. It is not important if others love you or not. Some people say, this man said this,
Page677
that man came or didn`t come, and did or didn`t do something. No need for that. People should mind themselves. They must look at themselves so that they realize what kind of favours they have. If they look at others, they will never be happy. And they won`t attain the pleasure of Allāh, because when you don`t look at what was given by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and look at this world instead, you will be inclined to this world. And if you turn away from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will turn away from you. It will be useless.
Therefore, may Allāh be pleased with you, as you came for the pleasure of Allāh from so far away. We have all gathered here together. You also made ziyārah of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. His barakah comes from the barakah of our Holy Prophet and from the barakah of Allāh ‘Azza waJalla. Therefore, those who came here will surely not leave emptyhanded.Considering those who say this and that – that this is accepted and that is not accepted – as we said, don`t listen to what they say. Don`t deal with them.Thanks to Allāh, our way is the beautiful way, the way of light, the way of our Holy Prophet, the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, the way of Paradise and happiness, with permission of Allāh. May Allāh make it blessed for everyone. May Allāhbe pleased, because our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam says, when someone goes to visit his Muslim brother for the pleasure of Allāh, a reward is written, and a sin forgiven, for every step that Muslim takes. And he is raised up one rank. Shukr to Allāh, you made more than one step; there are many people who came from as far as millions of steps away.
Therefore, they will take great profit back with them, with permission of Allāh. May Allāh make it last. May He show this way to those who don`t know it, Insha Allah.
May they know it too, and benefit from it. This is the benefit.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WHAT YOU WANT IS IN FRONT OF YOU Wednesday, 27 September 2023 / 12 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
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Yā-ayyuhā l-insānumāgharraka birabbika l-karīm. Alladhīkhalaqaka fa-sawwāka fa-‘adalakk“ (82:6-7). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “O mankind, how are you cheated? How are they cheating you that you don`t recognize Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla?“ Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created you. And He created you in the best shape. He gave you the best things. He made you with both a high rank and a position from which you can do everything. And He made everything under your command. But you are cheated by others. You have ruined yourself. This is good and momentous advice for all people.
People think they can earn with their minds, that they will have fun and entertain themselves and be saved without doing anything. They have no knowledge of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, or going to His presence. This time we are living in is the worst time in the history of mankind, because people of olden times knew there was a creator. But nowadays they mostly deny Him. They say, “Do whatever you want. Enjoy yourselves.“ But they cannot. It doesn`t work. Not everyone can enjoy himself. And for those who can, this enjoyment doesn`t bring them anything, after some time. They ask for something else. They ask for more. They search. People are searching. What they search for is in front of their eyes. But they don`t see. Because of the badness they do, they don`t
Page679
see the huge thing in front of them. They see everything aside from it. This is mankind`s kufr, rejection of Allāh. Kufr is not good. Īmān, to believe in Allāh, is good.
Allah created us. He created us in the best shape. He granted us the best things. He gave us arms and legs, eyes and mind. He told us and showed us everything mankind should be, and is, able to do, from the beginning until the end of their lives. There is no need for other things. If mankind goes on this way, they will not need anything. And their end will be good. Most importantly, they will attain the hereafter. They will attain the hereafter –ākhirah. Otherwise, they run around this world in vain. In the end, they won`t have accomplished anything. They will lose everything. May Allāh protect us.
May Allāh put His love in our hearts, for the honour of our Holy Prophet, Insha Allah. The greatest profit for Muslims is the love of our Holy Prophet. And to show respect to him is our most accepted worship in the presence of Allāh. May Allāh not let peoplebe misled. There are many confused people around Muslims. There are many people among them who say the good is bad and the bad is good. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur’ān: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Yā-ayyuhā l-insānumāgharraka bi-rabbika l-karīm, alladhī khalaqaka fa-sawwāka fa-‘adalak, fīayyiṣūratin māshā’arakkabak“ (82:6-8). Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, “O son of Ādam, who make you to cheat you? And make you to not believe in your Lord, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, who is create you, make you good shape, who give every good thing. And the best creation, He create you, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And you still not believing in Creator.
Allāh, He, Alhamdulilah, He create us in best shape. Maybe some people they say, “If we have four legs, we can be running more than this.“ Now people, they are running also. Or, “If we have big ear, we can hear more better.“ Or, “Big eyes, we can...“ Everything, this, become ugly if
Page680
you do this. Even they... Some people they said, wing. If they put wing, it will be also not... They make, stupid people, picture – but even in picture, if they put wing, they put small one. For to carry fifty, sixty or eighty kg [kilogram] man, you need one wing, it is, not even this room enough for this. Even in the picture, they are not useable. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He create us in the best shape, and best position. And He honoured us.
But people they not believe. Why they not believe? Because they are cheated with other people. They said this, “No creator. There is nothing. Only we live in this life, and after this, nothing. But we, when we die, we will be only earth.“ And this, even they don`t want earth, they burn now. They – only little bit ashes, and they said, finished. You, you can think this finish. Who brought you to this life, He not ask you – what for you. And when He will recreate you, also will not ask you. You, so you will be regret and you will be, feel, real[ly that] you have been very badly cheated. Very badly, they cheat you, for your life finish forever, with this.
But people now they are saying – They are thinking they are very clever, and only they are looking after happiness here, and they said, “Okay, we are happy now.“ But here happiness not... for they, people, they got bored. Even they have everything, they looking for another thing. For another thing, going this side. No, this also, I will fedup. We go to other side, also fed up. But they are, what they are looking, they said — many people, human being, they are in looking, researching for something, for good thing for themself. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He just put in front of them this, what they want, and calling them, “Come here to be happy.“ But they are not even seeing. There, like mountain in front of eye, they are not looking. Looking for other side. Looking for other side until they will die. And after, they will see this reality.
Allāh help people to come to hidāyah. This is what we are – human being – in need. They said human being they need this, they need that. They need hidāyah, they need belief, and ask for forgiveness from their
Page681
Creator, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh making us in this way, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, which it is the way of what Allāh love. When you go in this way, you will be happy. Not be regret at all. This is guarantee from Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Alḥamdulilah, Allāh give hidāyah for all people, we are asking. We are not happy, or jealous for people. Maybe too much people coming to Islām, coming to hidāyah, and it will be too much? No. Allāh... As a mu’min, he like good thing for other. Never like bad thing.
Allāh... for this, the best thing for everybody: to believe, īmān, Insha Allah. Allāh give us, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

VISIT THE ONES ALLĀH LOVES Thursday, 28 September 2023 / 13 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.
Going to visit Awliyā’ brings benefit to everyone. Their barakah comes over those who visit. First of all it is good to visit the maqām of our Holy Prophet. Certainly, the greatest virtue is in visiting him. But of course, it is not easy for people to go there and visit him every day. Visiting Ṣaḥābah, Mashāyikh, and Awliyā’ wherever they live brings virtue and reward, great thawāb as well. Their doors are the door of Allāh. Whoever comes for the pleasure of Allāh, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla gives him whatever he needs. Whatever their portion, certainly it is given to those who enter those doors. They come for the pleasure of Allāh. Whatever intention they have, Allāh gives their reward. It is always so.
Awliyā’ were sometimes not known to the people but their maqām is famous. They become more known after they pass away. Some Awliyā’ are known while alive as well. Therefore, for every person, how much it is needed for them, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla certainly gives reward to them based on their level. There was Somunju Baba who lived in Bursa. He lived in the time of Ḥaḍrat Yıldırım Bayezit. He used to make bread and sell to people. But people didn`t see he was awliyā’. They knew him as derwīsh and a blessed man. They used to visit him and buy bread from him. They asked for a blessing and his du‘ā’. The son-in-law of ḤaḍratSulṭān Bayezit was Emir Sulṭān then – the son of Amīr Kulāl who came from Bukhara. He was the Sulṭān`s son-in-law. The Sulṭān built Ulu Camii (The Great Mosque) in Bursa. He decided to have the most
Page683
knowledgeable man read the khuṭbah. So he opened it on Friday and asked that person to read khuṭbah. He told his son-in-law, Sayyid Amīr Sulṭān, “You can do this.“ He said, “No. There is a greater, a superior person, there is a shaykh here. He will do it.“
The Sulṭān did not object, of course. Obedient to the order, Somunju Baba went up to give the khuṭbah. He explained al-FātiḥahSharīf in his khuṭbah. And he explained it in seven different ways. Firstly, he explained it in the way that the simplest people could understand. And then he explained it to people who have just started learning. And then in the way that hodjas could understand, and then in the way scholars could understand, and then in the way the Sulṭān could understand, and then in the way mashāyikh could understand. The seventh was the explanation no one could understand. It means whoever comes to this door, everyone takes his share... No one goes back empty-handed. Everyone benefits from that favour. The explanation of it in the way people can understand is that when you make a visit to any awliyā’, you will certainly profit. It will be given based on your level. Everyone will be happy. No one will be upset and say, “I took a very little.“ Because it is the gift of Allāh. They don`t realize what they got. But it is certainly written as the portion of people.
And then this Somunju Baba went out of the mosque after shaking hands with everyone. He greeted everyone and shook hands. The mosque had four doors. Everyone exited through one of those four doors. When they went out, everyone said, “I shook hands with him.“ Everyone who exiting through the doors said that. The miracle is that the same person was seen at all four doors. The miracles of awliyā’ are real. After showing that miracle and after becoming recognized, this holy being left Bursa and moved to Aksaray. People who come to holy ones leave with big gifts. They return with big favours. Therefore, visiting these holy ones is disliked by shayṭān and those together with shayṭān because they know and don`t wish any goodness to people and believers out of envy and jealousy. May Allāh protect us. May Allāh not
Page684
separate us from these doors. May their help and barakah be upon us, Insha Allah.
This place is with awliyā’uLlāh. Everybody coming visiting them, sure he will be get blessed and get good thing with him. Anybody coming here for intention to visit, to see this place or other place like this with holy people, their graveyard – it is big favour for who visit this. And the first, the biggest one, of course, our Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Masjid anNabawī. With visiting him, with his companion, with other – this is the most perfect one, most rewarded one. But ofcourse we are to go there or to stay there or to... It is not easy. It is very difficult. Ofcourse sometimes if anybody can visit, he must visit to get this blessed from Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
But other place also, everywhere, there is this blessed graveyard, blessed maqām. First for Ahlu l-Bayt some places, some places with companion, ṣaḥābah of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. They are respected and they are known. When in each country, their people, they from generation[s], they keep and they said, “This ṣaḥābah in this place, that in that place.“ Soto visit them also good, very good. After this, mashāyikh or tābi‘īn, tābi‘ī t-tābi‘īn, awliyā’uLlāh. To visit them, this you get blessed because this place they are under light of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. It`s raining bless[ings] for this maqām. Each one coming there, they can, they take as much their maqām, they are in need. Because maybe some people they coming there, they are not knowing anything for, from religion or from to what is this. Just to get blessed. We have this many people, they are not praying, not doing anything, but they coming for sake of Allāh to visit this holy people, holy place. So Allāh give them each one for how much he, his afford.
For this, there was in old time, maybe for four hundred year or some, around this, in Bursa. It`s more than this. It is six hundred year, before Istanbul there was capital of Ottoman, Bursa. And there was this Sulṭān Bayezid, Yıldırım Bayezid. His son-in-law, Amīr Sulṭān, he is son of
Page685
Sayyid Amīr Kulāl from our silsilah, Naqshbandī. His father in Bukhara, he was in... Sulṭān make him son-in-law because he was, he know the value of ‘ulamā’ and awliyā’. And he intend, Sulṭān, to build big mosque. Now it`s still there, Ulu Camii calling. And big mosque meaning, huge mosque. It`s very nice, it`s still there. So he built and finish and he said to his son-in-law, “I intend to make the most knowledgeable one to make khuṭbah. begin opening, it will be day Friday, Jum‘ah. And it will be khuṭbah, Jum‘ahkhuṭbah with you. You are the most I know, knowledgeable and I want you to make khuṭbah there.“ Sayyid Amīr Sulṭān he said, “No. There is one he is more knowledgeable than me. I will, Insha Allah, he make this khuṭbah.“
OfcourseSulṭān they have adab, not arguing like this, “Who? Why? Not this, what this?“ He said okay and this was one baker making bread and his people coming and taking, buying from his bread. They know he is blessed one but they don`t know he is ‘ālim or scholar or awliyā’. Just they are very happy with him. They know he is blessed one and so he said for him, “You will make this khuṭbah.“ And he make khuṭbah this.
They call him Sumunju Baba meaning bread father, something like this. Sohe went through khuṭbah and explain Sūratu l-Fātiḥah, in seven different understanding for people. First one he speak and the children or normal people who not knowing anything, they were listening, they understanding and they were very happy. They explain what they can understand and all this understanding. After this second khuṭbah he make second explanation, explain for Fātiḥah for who little bit knowing to reading and Qur’ān and just not ‘ālim. Third for imāms for this not so very knowledgeable one. After he make for ‘ulamā’ khuṭbah. This people... But what they... Every time he making, other people not understanding. Only what this stage understanding. After he make for mashāyikh and after for Sulṭān and after for he make one, nobody understand. Seven different thing and what people they was astonishing – “This is our derwīsh Baba. He is, we buy from him bread and he make bread and how he is like this?“ They know he is awliyā`uLlāh.
