For this, many people sometimes their ego becomes on them and they come against the will of Allah and object, “Why for me! Why did this happen for me!”, they say. A Mu’min, believer must it is not easy of course and difficult but when something difficult comes upon him, he must know this is also a test for him and Allah will reward him for this test.
For this, we are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, how he lived, how he was suffering with his Companions yet they were happy because they knew they are in the right [way] and nothing can take them out of this way. Many times, for many days, they couldn’t find something to eat. They were patient.
Alhamdulilah nobody was running from this situation. They were patient and following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam order. If he wants anything, Allah will give him without asking. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam has many miracles. A miracle which thousands of people saw and lived by this miracle.
Once they were in war and there was no water, so water came out his hand. All the Sahabah, thousands of Sahabah were drinking from his hand. Also one Sahabah invited him to his house. They made a little bit food and invited the Prophet. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam invited all the Sahabah. The Sahabah was afraid on how will that be. He
Page649
asked his wife, and she was also afraid that it wasn’t enough. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam came and made Dua, all the Sahabah ate and still the same [amount of] food was there.
The Sahabah knew the Mu’jizat (miracles) of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam, but they weren’t complaining, “O Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam make a miracle! Make us not to be hungry like this! We can eat everyday by your Karamah, Mu’jizah.” They were just not saying anything. This is the difference between the Sahabah and companions/Apostles of Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam. Poor SayyidinaIsa!The companions of Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam were eating every day, not hungry, nothing. But even with this, they asked, “If your God, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla can send us food, feast to eat and be believers.” They said this. This was a very strange thing because they were seeing every day thousands of people coming and by miracle of Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam they get cured and went, and dead people coming back again to life, living many years after this. All of this and still they didn’t have belief in their hearts. And their way of saying this make them to be mentioned in Qur’an Azimush-Shan, Allah ‘Azza waJalla’s word described this to people to give an example how people must be with good behavior, with Adab with Allah, with Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam and all prophets, to have Adab with them. This question is such a nonsense question! The question: “If your Lord Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla can.” What is this question! Nothing is impossible for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla! And you’re eating every day from what Allah created, what you’re eating is not coming from yourself. All of this created is from Allah And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla was not happy saying, “Ok We will send this but if they will not believe again, they will be punished forever.”
This is how Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam was also in test with these people; the nearest people to him were saying this. Alhamdulilah none of the Sahabah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam were asking such a thing. Because they know and their belief is (more) stronger with Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s Barakah, with Allah ‘Azza wa-
Page650
Jalla’s support, they gave them real Iman. Iman is the most precious thing for human beings. So when they have this Iman, nothing is important for them: if they eat, if they don’t eat, if they drink or not drink. Everything is not important. For the others, what’s important is to eat and test the Prophet if what he’s saying is true or not true. You see how Iman is very important for human beings.
Alhamdulilah we are from Ummat Muhammad, Sayyidina Muhammad sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. All prophets were also wishing to be from Ummah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidina Muhammad sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam. When Sayyidina Isa comes, Allah will make him from Ummat Muhammad sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Alhamdulilah Mubarak this month!
May Allah give us from His Barakah and from ‘Ihsan (beneficence) Insha Allah. May Allah reward you. May Allah give you happiness here and hereafter Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

EACH ONE NEEDS A MURSHID Saturday, 16 September 2023 / 1 Rabih Al-Awwal 1445 Gabbice, Italy.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-Llaha WaKūnū Ma’a s-Sādiqīn’’. ‘‘O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.’’ (Qur’ān 09:119).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that we must be with good people to learn good things for ourselves, for our life. You must be with somebody to teach you.
Of course, those who understand, those whom Allah gave good understanding, know they must look for knowledge more and more. Because many of them, these big Awliyau’Llah, big ‘Ulama, scholars were in their village in every village, the Imam was a teacher. Teaching children to write and read and giving them what they are in need of for their lives. To ask for knowledge, for ‘Ilim is obligatory for every Muslim, everyone: male and female. For this, in every Muslim ruler’s time, every Islamic state’s time, each village or small place had a mosque, masjid and had an Imam. And this Imam looks after these people, teaching them and looks after boys for a certain time.
The whole country, the whole place where people were living was like this, and the Imam was teaching all of them. When they finish every time new students come and he teaches them until they finish and know
Page652
how to read and read Qur’an, to write and to know what is Haram and what is Halal. It stays like this for maybe 5 or 6 years, like elementary school. When it finishes, everybody goes and continues his life. Of coursein old times, people didn’t have secondary or high school or university; they didn’t have this. Everybody must learn something [profession] to live. But the first thing they teach them is to read and write, and to know what is Haram, what is Halal; about life. Because in that time, they were also marrying early maybe at 15 or 16 years.They become like men and women. And because life was for them many of them pass away at 50 or 60 years. For this, they continued their lives like this.
In these schools, sometimes brilliant students appear. When this student comes, the Imam says to his father and family, “This boy is more knowledgeable than me. We won’t waste him here. Send him to a more knowledgeable school or place to learn more.” The student also goes to another place, and after that he becomes very clever. The other Imam says, “He is above [superior to] me. He must go to a higher place.” So there, he gets the highest knowledge and says, “Okay this is finished but I still feel something not complete.” After asking, many of them know they must follow a Shaykh, Murshid. Everyone from Awliyau’Llah or who were like this must have a Murshid. Even the highest one in knowledge and who’s well known in this world, in east and west, also has a Murshid.
This was Sayyidina Jalāluddīn Rūmī, Mawlana Jalāluddīn Rūmī. He was an ocean of knowledge and everybody was listening to his Sohbahs and his speeches everywhere. Even Sultans were saying, “O Shaykh! I want to be a Murid for you. I don’t want this Sultanate. I even give you this Sultanate. Come be Sultan, I will be your follower.” Of course, he didn’t accept. He continued like this but he was feeling something not complete in him, until Shams Tabrīzī came and met him.
Shams Tabrīzī was also not knowing but Allah gave him knowledge and wisdom, and he was full of wisdom. But he was not looking after Dunya and not caring about what people say about him. He used to
Page653
wear something black. He was not familiar with people. When an order came to him, he was waiting. He also knew, “I have this huge knowledge but this is not for common people. I know this. I will only give this knowledge for someone; but I don’t know whom he is.” He was waiting until a big Shaykh, Awliya from Konya sent him a letter saying, “Come! What you’re waiting for is here. You must come and meet him.”
When Shams arrived to Konya and met Mawlana JalāluddīnRūmī, Mawlana was on his horse, and so Shams held his horse. Mawlana was looking at him, and he was so familiar to him. “Who is this? He is very familiar to me.” Mawlana was thinking about where he has seen him. Then he remembered: he has seen him many times in dream. He quickly came down from his horse and they hugged each other. Then, they left the people. They were for many days, more than 40 days in Khalwa (seclusion). And nobody knew what they were speaking and about what. They were sometimes speaking and sometimes silent in this room of Khalwa. Nobody knew what they were speaking about. After that when they went out, of course people weren’t happy. Everybody weren’t happy, “What is this very strange one, very aggressive one and not a good behaved one! He took our Shaykh, our Master! He kidnapped him! He wasn’t coming anymore to give Sohbah, not coming for anything, just staying there!” People were very angry for this. He didn’t care about this.
Even after that, he was also standing at the door of Mawlana not letting anybody go inside. He kicked some of them, he shouted at some of them, he beat some of them. But Mawlana was in that time in the room also, with instructions from Shams not to go meet people.
Shams Tabrīzī knows that he must give this thing quickly to Mawlana JalāluddīnRūmī because he knows that to meet this great one is not without price. And the price for this prize of being with Mawlana: he knows he must give his head. And this is what happened later. But Mawlana after him opened more knowledge, real knowledge. Until
Page654
now, millions of people are following him and reading his wisdoms everywhere.
This was the teaching of old people, the Islamic teaching to people: to respect and accept the truth. And to look for Allah gave each one someone to be his guidance for this knowledge. When they’re in the right way, Insha Allah lucky will be the one who finds this. Because this is special, like Shams who gave all this knowledge to one man. But this one man took it and spread it to millions and even billions since that time. The important thing is to know your duty and your intention. It is very important. Shams did this for the sake of Allah and he gave his head for this mission.
May Allah praise them. May Allah give us good guidance Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE LOVE OF OUR ITALIAN BROTHERS Monday, 18 September 2023 / 3 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.
We say Shukr to Allah for the blessing of Iman. We say Shukr for being on this way, on the way of Allah and on the way of our Holy Prophet. Shukr to Allah, this journey to our brothers [in Italy] was very nice Maa Sha Allah. The seeds planted by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim have bloomed and grown up. They are standing strong, Shukr to Allah. They are increasing and they have a lot of love Maa Sha Allah.
Many of them are new Muslims who are not born into Muslim families but who became Muslim later. Allah has given them guidance. And that is a very big blessing. The biggest blessing is that while in Kufr Heput love in their hearts. They were searching, and through some means they became honored with Islam. And they are very happy with their condition. Their Dua is for Islam to spread and for Islam to cover the whole world. Insha’Allah that will happen.
The promise of Allah is true. Allah will complete His light. The whole world will join Islam Insha Allah. And then the Day of Judgment which is a true promise will come. But the Day of Judgment will not come until whole world joins Islam with the permission of Allah. And then people will see the truth. They will realize the truth.Nowadays, shaytan and people who are worse than shaytan are busy thinking how to take people out of the way. There is nothing else. There is no goodness. But Al-
Page656
lah loves goodness and those who do goodness. May Allah ‘Azza waJalla make us all steadfast on this way Insha Allah. May Allah be pleased with our brothers there. They have treated us very well and shown us around. We met good people everywhere. Insha Allah may the rest be honored with Islam too.
We ask that Allah gives guidance to the people we have met in the places we went to. And may Allah always give us the strength of Iman Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LOVING HIM IS FARD Tuesday, 19 September 2023 / 4 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, “There is a group from my Ummah who will act upon the truth until Qiyamah”. We look now, there are many people who say they are Muslim. There are many non-Muslims as well. But there is only one group who is based on truth, not all of them.
People’s minds have been messed up. Those who show the good as bad and the bad as good are outside of Islam. But Muslims are the same. They don’t accept the truth. They show it as not true and cheat people. They drag people behind them. And they are destroying them for no purpose in this world and losing the ranks and levels they could reach in Akhirah.
People think they are doing something good but they do useless things. They don’t accept the favors given to them. Instead, they say, “I will get it myself”. There are many people who strive to get totally useless things that are not worth having instead of beautiful things given to them. And most importantly, these are the people who don’t want the way and love of our Holy Prophet. They say they are Muslim. But they also say he is only a person just like us who died and is gone. Ḥāshā! (far from it)! There are many people who say so and cheat people. They are stupid people. And people who go after them are stupid too.
Page658
A Clever person is the person who knows the value, glory and honor of our our Holy and how much he Prophet ask for forgiveness and Shafa’ah (intercession) for his Ummah from Allah. We ask for theShafa’ah, of our Holy. Without his Shafa’ah our actions are just useless. Muslims will go to hell for a long time and then go to paradise. As long as they say, “La ilahailla Allah Muhammadun Rasulu Llah”, they will enter it. But people will have lived their lives in vain. And in Akhirah, they will stay in hell for years and be punished for the things they have done.
Shukr to Allah,we have entered the month of the birth of our Holy Prophet Mawlid Sharif. Honoring him and cultivating love to him means cultivating love to Allah. It is Fard to love him. To respect him and to honor him is Fard. Those who say it is Shirk are idiots. They are stupid and without Iman. They can be Muslim but cannot be Mu’min (believers). They cannot have Iman.
There is Islam and there is Iman. True Iman brings benefit to people. People with Iman, Mu’mins are people with a lot of love to our Holy Prophet, people with respect and honor to him. Insha Allah may this love increase. For the honor and Barakah of this month, may it be abundant Insha Allah.
“Whoever makes Salat and Salam to me, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes tenfold Salat and Salam and even more to him.” Therefore, may we make more Salat and Salam in this month Insha Allah. Make as much as you can. Don’t say it is too much or too little.
Make sure to make Salat and Salam upon our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

VIRTUES OF RECITING MAWLID SHARIF Wednesday, 20 September 2023 / 5 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: “Wa-mā arsalnāka illāraḥmatan li-l‘ālamīn”,“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.’’(Qur’ān 21:107). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is describing the attribute of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan and says, “We sent him as mercy to universes.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is honoring our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan.
As there is honoring of our Holy Prophet from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla everywhere, it is Fard for us to honor him as well. It is Fard to love him. Those who don’t love him don’t love Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who don’t love him? Shaytans don’t love him And those who are with shaytan. We should always praise our Holy Prophetand even more in this month. It is the month of Mawlid Sharif. It is the month when he honoured this world with his presence.
There are beautiful Mawlids written by different nations according to them. Thereare ones written by Arabs, Turks; everyone has their own. But this beautiful Mawlid written in the Ottoman Empire, Mawlid of Süleyman Çelebi Efendi is more spiritual and very high.Everyone wants to listen to it. And everyone’s love increases with it. It becomes better. It is found in different languages too. But as the one who wrote it was
Page660
honored by the Himmah (support) of our Holy Prophet, it has a more beautiful influence.
There are idiot people, not people but crooked scholars nowadays or people wholisten to them. They say Mawlid is Bid’ah or whatever. Mawlid can never be Bid’ah because people gather and recite Mawlid for the pleasure of Allah and for the love of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Even if you read it alone, you still attain that pleasure. You both make Salawat and honor him. Therefore, it is something that shaytans and those together with shaytan dislike the most.
There are many people who say all kinds of bad words in order to confuse people. But those who listen to them don’t gain, they lose.
Because the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is what will save us. Our deeds cannot save us. Our deeds don’t resemble anything and are useless. What is useful is the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Therefore, telling about the beautiful life of our Holy Prophet since his birthand before his birth, about his light bring light and Thawab. It increases our ranks Insha Allah. May Allah bless us.
May our love to our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam increase Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LUCKY TO BE FROM HIS NATION Friday, 22 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.
Allāh ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n is praising our Holy Prophet. All beautiful things belong to him. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is a perfect person. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him as a mercy to us. Allāh‘Azza waJalla sent him as a mercy to all the worlds.
It is great luck to be from his ummah, nation. Compared to other nations, the obligations and worshipping given to our ummah are much easier. That is from the mercy of our Holy Prophet. For the honour of his countenance, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla treats us with beneficence. The previous nations had more prayers. Our fasting is one month; theirs was six months. And they broke their fast once a day and kept on fasting afterwards. We are saying this as an example. Even though things were more difficult for the previous nations, to be from the nation of our Holy Prophet has bountiful virtues. The most beloved servant of Allāh is our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. It is a great honour to be from his ummah.
In many places in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n it is said about our Holy Prophet, “We sent you as a mercy to the worlds. And you were created with the best manners and characteristics, with the most beautiful adab. That is given to you.“ Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling people with His word of truth in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. Our Holy Prophet says “It is
Page662
my duty. I was sent to complete all good characteristics.“ Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says so.
By the wisdom of Allāh, for people to believe in and accept him, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam in a place far from most people, where there were no schools or universities. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him there as a prophet to all humanity. Very few people studied there. There was nothing like a school. They would learn [to read and write] from each other, on their own. But our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was not in a position to do that. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, as you know, by the wisdom of Allāh, was orphaned as a child, losing his mother, father, and grandfather. But Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who put that knowledge and all the knowledge in the world in his breast. If people studied for a thousand years, they would not be able to attain so much knowledge.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is a miracle shown by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla– a true prophet and a mercy – in order for people to easily believe. What is this miracle? It is not karāmah. Karāmah, miraculous deeds, are for awliyā’. Miracles are for prophets. For those who reject the position of our Holy Prophet, there is no forgiveness. Those who don`t believe our Holy Prophet after seeing so many of his miracles are called kāfirs because of this. Kāfir means people who don`t admire anything and don`t believe in anything. People who don`t believe in themselves are characterized as kāfirs as well.
In any case, mu’mins, believers, follow the beautiful way of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. They don`t need any other way. Those who join this way, who are on the right way and follow a murshid, will be directly alongside our Holy Prophet in Paradise, with permission of Allāh. May Allāh make us steadfast on this way. For the honour of these beautiful days, for the honour of our Holy Prophet who was born in this month, may Allāh make us steadfast. May we love him and be from those loved by him, Insha Allah. How does he love us?
Page663
When you make ṣalawāt, he gives salām to you too. And he loves you. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us this chance.As we said in the beginning, we are very lucky people. No need to complain and say, “I have pain here and there, this and that. My wife is so. My husband is so.“ Keep this in mind. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made us from Ummati Muḥammad. The rest are unnecessary things. These things won`t go to ākhirah, but will remain in this world. They will be forgotten in five minutes here, or after a day. They will be gone after a month. This one and that one will go. As we said, what will stay is the love and intercession of our Holy Prophet. That is what is important. The rest is not important at all. You may die of hunger or disease, and it won`t be important; as long as you are on this way, you are in profit, with permission of Allāh.
May Allāh protect us. We don`t want tests. May Allāh give us from His grace and from the mercy of our Holy Prophet. Don`t ask for patience. Ask for beneficence, iḥsān. Being patient is difficult. Therefore, don`t ask for anything to be patient for. May Allāhnot deprive us of the mercy of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Insha Allah. May He not deprive us of his intercession, Insha Allah.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur’ān and describing our Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, “Wa-innaka la‘alákhuluqin‘aẓīm“ (68:4). You are in good – The perfect one in whole universe, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Everything he done or he was doing, he was perfect. Nothing you can say it is not good, not nice, not justice. No. Everything, it was perfect. Even the people who were enemy for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, if they [were] saying something without lying, they [were] accepting this.
Because this, once, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam sending message to kings and emperors around, to call, invite them to Islām. Once in Damascus, it was Caesar Heraclius. And he was looking for this message, and he was happy with the message. But he ask around him. They said, “No. This not acceptable,“ [those] around him. But he also want to
Page664
show them what it is good and not good. So there was a trader in – from, every time coming to Damascus from Makkah or Madīnah. And sohe said, “Bring one from this, from Makkah.“ That one time, there was no Muslim. And he was asking, “Okay, come here. Who are you? You know this man, who he said he [is] prophet?“ He said, “Yes.“ “Oh, okay. You wait here, I...“ And ask this: “You step here.“ And he said, “We make test for him.“
“Where is your companion – here? So, you are in front, they are behind. I will ask you and you must answer me honestly. If you are lying, you will be punished. And these people behind you, they will say if you say right or you say wrong about this, what I ask.“ So there was no anything can do this, to say wrong thing. And he was mushrik, kāfir.
And this Emperor Heraclius, he asking him about Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam: how he is, how, what is this.
And he was, everything, saying truth. Even these people, they was saying Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, perfect one. Nothing – not lying, not stealing, not cheating people, not oppressing people. Everything they ask, he was saying this. For this we saying, Allāh‘Azza waJalla, He send our Prophet, perfect.
And we are the mostlucky nation through whole centuries, whole prophets, who coming through Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until these days. Our nation, nation of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, they are most lucky one. Because they have not so difficult worshipping. Now, not too heavy worshipping. No heavy punishment for us.
Only what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla make for our Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, His mercy, we are praying– and easy for us. [When] praying, don`t look for this people who saying it is too difficult to pray. They are liar, because they are doing in a day, thousand time more difficult thing. But when for praying, they say Worsh... worsh... For fasting also, it`s not difficult. Now we see people, they making diet, fasting for water. Three
Page665
days not eating, only water. Five days, only water. Ten days, only water. Fifteen days, fruit. Fifteen days – I don`t know what this is. So it is a nonsense thing. And but they, when they coming to fast – as what Allāh say us, and it is good for our health and for our body, for our situation – they say, difficult.But in olden time, like SayyidunāMūsá ‘alayhi s-salām time, they was praying more than us. And fasting, six months it was. Not one month, like us. And it is only once a day they can eat. Not – only one. After sunset, eating once, and this finish, no more. But we are, Alhamdulilah, we are – everything for us, lucky. And even with this – they have more worshipping, more difficult order – we are more, we have reward. Because we are from nation of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is why we are very lucky.
We must be happy because our Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, most beloved one for Allāh, and most knowledgeable one, he is. Whole knowledge in this world, nothing. Not one drop from his knowledge, from Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam.
And here, we saying also for non-believer or who are, they don`t know Prophet`s reality. Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, he his time… Allah Azza wa Jalla with Hiswisdom, He make him to born in place – desert. Very few people around. No school, no high school, no university, no other thing like class for teaching – nothing at all. And who was knowing to write and read, very few people. And they must be rich people to [be able to]learn from somebody. But Prophet was orphan. His father died before he was born. His mother died after him. His grandfather also died, after him also. And his uncle, AbūṬālib, he was many children. No... very poor man. And cannot be afford to find somebody to teach him to learn. Even he was learning, how he, all this knowledge from... Cannot, one people – not one people, one university people – they cannot in thousand years to learn this. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He put in his heart, and everything coming through him. This is miracle from, for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Many miraclefrom Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. But non-believer they are
Page666
not knowing this, or shayṭān, they teach them different thing. Saying this nothing, nothing. But it is real bless[ing] for whole universe. Not only for earth.

For this, many people sometimes their ego becomes on them and they come against the will of Allah and object, “Why for me! Why did this happen for me!”, they say. A Mu’min, believer must it is not easy of course and difficult but when something difficult comes upon him, he must know this is also a test for him and Allah will reward him for this test.
For this, we are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, how he lived, how he was suffering with his Companions yet they were happy because they knew they are in the right [way] and nothing can take them out of this way. Many times, for many days, they couldn’t find something to eat. They were patient.
Alhamdulilah nobody was running from this situation. They were patient and following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam order. If he wants anything, Allah will give him without asking. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam has many miracles. A miracle which thousands of people saw and lived by this miracle.
Once they were in war and there was no water, so water came out his hand. All the Sahabah, thousands of Sahabah were drinking from his hand. Also one Sahabah invited him to his house. They made a little bit food and invited the Prophet. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam invited all the Sahabah. The Sahabah was afraid on how will that be. He
Page649
asked his wife, and she was also afraid that it wasn’t enough. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam came and made Dua, all the Sahabah ate and still the same [amount of] food was there.
The Sahabah knew the Mu’jizat (miracles) of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam, but they weren’t complaining, “O Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam make a miracle! Make us not to be hungry like this! We can eat everyday by your Karamah, Mu’jizah.” They were just not saying anything. This is the difference between the Sahabah and companions/Apostles of Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam. Poor SayyidinaIsa!The companions of Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam were eating every day, not hungry, nothing. But even with this, they asked, “If your God, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla can send us food, feast to eat and be believers.” They said this. This was a very strange thing because they were seeing every day thousands of people coming and by miracle of Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam they get cured and went, and dead people coming back again to life, living many years after this. All of this and still they didn’t have belief in their hearts. And their way of saying this make them to be mentioned in Qur’an Azimush-Shan, Allah ‘Azza waJalla’s word described this to people to give an example how people must be with good behavior, with Adab with Allah, with Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam and all prophets, to have Adab with them. This question is such a nonsense question! The question: “If your Lord Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla can.” What is this question! Nothing is impossible for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla! And you’re eating every day from what Allah created, what you’re eating is not coming from yourself. All of this created is from Allah And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla was not happy saying, “Ok We will send this but if they will not believe again, they will be punished forever.”
This is how Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam was also in test with these people; the nearest people to him were saying this. Alhamdulilah none of the Sahabah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam were asking such a thing. Because they know and their belief is (more) stronger with Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s Barakah, with Allah ‘Azza wa-
Page650
Jalla’s support, they gave them real Iman. Iman is the most precious thing for human beings. So when they have this Iman, nothing is important for them: if they eat, if they don’t eat, if they drink or not drink. Everything is not important. For the others, what’s important is to eat and test the Prophet if what he’s saying is true or not true. You see how Iman is very important for human beings.
Alhamdulilah we are from Ummat Muhammad, Sayyidina Muhammad sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. All prophets were also wishing to be from Ummah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidina Muhammad sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam. When Sayyidina Isa comes, Allah will make him from Ummat Muhammad sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Alhamdulilah Mubarak this month!
May Allah give us from His Barakah and from ‘Ihsan (beneficence) Insha Allah. May Allah reward you. May Allah give you happiness here and hereafter Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

EACH ONE NEEDS A MURSHID Saturday, 16 September 2023 / 1 Rabih Al-Awwal 1445 Gabbice, Italy.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-Llaha WaKūnū Ma’a s-Sādiqīn’’. ‘‘O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.’’ (Qur’ān 09:119).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that we must be with good people to learn good things for ourselves, for our life. You must be with somebody to teach you.
Of course, those who understand, those whom Allah gave good understanding, know they must look for knowledge more and more. Because many of them, these big Awliyau’Llah, big ‘Ulama, scholars were in their village in every village, the Imam was a teacher. Teaching children to write and read and giving them what they are in need of for their lives. To ask for knowledge, for ‘Ilim is obligatory for every Muslim, everyone: male and female. For this, in every Muslim ruler’s time, every Islamic state’s time, each village or small place had a mosque, masjid and had an Imam. And this Imam looks after these people, teaching them and looks after boys for a certain time.
The whole country, the whole place where people were living was like this, and the Imam was teaching all of them. When they finish every time new students come and he teaches them until they finish and know
Page652
how to read and read Qur’an, to write and to know what is Haram and what is Halal. It stays like this for maybe 5 or 6 years, like elementary school. When it finishes, everybody goes and continues his life. Of coursein old times, people didn’t have secondary or high school or university; they didn’t have this. Everybody must learn something [profession] to live. But the first thing they teach them is to read and write, and to know what is Haram, what is Halal; about life. Because in that time, they were also marrying early maybe at 15 or 16 years.They become like men and women. And because life was for them many of them pass away at 50 or 60 years. For this, they continued their lives like this.
In these schools, sometimes brilliant students appear. When this student comes, the Imam says to his father and family, “This boy is more knowledgeable than me. We won’t waste him here. Send him to a more knowledgeable school or place to learn more.” The student also goes to another place, and after that he becomes very clever. The other Imam says, “He is above [superior to] me. He must go to a higher place.” So there, he gets the highest knowledge and says, “Okay this is finished but I still feel something not complete.” After asking, many of them know they must follow a Shaykh, Murshid. Everyone from Awliyau’Llah or who were like this must have a Murshid. Even the highest one in knowledge and who’s well known in this world, in east and west, also has a Murshid.
This was Sayyidina Jalāluddīn Rūmī, Mawlana Jalāluddīn Rūmī. He was an ocean of knowledge and everybody was listening to his Sohbahs and his speeches everywhere. Even Sultans were saying, “O Shaykh! I want to be a Murid for you. I don’t want this Sultanate. I even give you this Sultanate. Come be Sultan, I will be your follower.” Of course, he didn’t accept. He continued like this but he was feeling something not complete in him, until Shams Tabrīzī came and met him.
Shams Tabrīzī was also not knowing but Allah gave him knowledge and wisdom, and he was full of wisdom. But he was not looking after Dunya and not caring about what people say about him. He used to
Page653
wear something black. He was not familiar with people. When an order came to him, he was waiting. He also knew, “I have this huge knowledge but this is not for common people. I know this. I will only give this knowledge for someone; but I don’t know whom he is.” He was waiting until a big Shaykh, Awliya from Konya sent him a letter saying, “Come! What you’re waiting for is here. You must come and meet him.”
When Shams arrived to Konya and met Mawlana JalāluddīnRūmī, Mawlana was on his horse, and so Shams held his horse. Mawlana was looking at him, and he was so familiar to him. “Who is this? He is very familiar to me.” Mawlana was thinking about where he has seen him. Then he remembered: he has seen him many times in dream. He quickly came down from his horse and they hugged each other. Then, they left the people. They were for many days, more than 40 days in Khalwa (seclusion). And nobody knew what they were speaking and about what. They were sometimes speaking and sometimes silent in this room of Khalwa. Nobody knew what they were speaking about. After that when they went out, of course people weren’t happy. Everybody weren’t happy, “What is this very strange one, very aggressive one and not a good behaved one! He took our Shaykh, our Master! He kidnapped him! He wasn’t coming anymore to give Sohbah, not coming for anything, just staying there!” People were very angry for this. He didn’t care about this.
Even after that, he was also standing at the door of Mawlana not letting anybody go inside. He kicked some of them, he shouted at some of them, he beat some of them. But Mawlana was in that time in the room also, with instructions from Shams not to go meet people.
Shams Tabrīzī knows that he must give this thing quickly to Mawlana JalāluddīnRūmī because he knows that to meet this great one is not without price. And the price for this prize of being with Mawlana: he knows he must give his head. And this is what happened later. But Mawlana after him opened more knowledge, real knowledge. Until
Page654
now, millions of people are following him and reading his wisdoms everywhere.
This was the teaching of old people, the Islamic teaching to people: to respect and accept the truth. And to look for Allah gave each one someone to be his guidance for this knowledge. When they’re in the right way, Insha Allah lucky will be the one who finds this. Because this is special, like Shams who gave all this knowledge to one man. But this one man took it and spread it to millions and even billions since that time. The important thing is to know your duty and your intention. It is very important. Shams did this for the sake of Allah and he gave his head for this mission.
May Allah praise them. May Allah give us good guidance Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE LOVE OF OUR ITALIAN BROTHERS Monday, 18 September 2023 / 3 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.
We say Shukr to Allah for the blessing of Iman. We say Shukr for being on this way, on the way of Allah and on the way of our Holy Prophet. Shukr to Allah, this journey to our brothers [in Italy] was very nice Maa Sha Allah. The seeds planted by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim have bloomed and grown up. They are standing strong, Shukr to Allah. They are increasing and they have a lot of love Maa Sha Allah.
Many of them are new Muslims who are not born into Muslim families but who became Muslim later. Allah has given them guidance. And that is a very big blessing. The biggest blessing is that while in Kufr Heput love in their hearts. They were searching, and through some means they became honored with Islam. And they are very happy with their condition. Their Dua is for Islam to spread and for Islam to cover the whole world. Insha’Allah that will happen.
The promise of Allah is true. Allah will complete His light. The whole world will join Islam Insha Allah. And then the Day of Judgment which is a true promise will come. But the Day of Judgment will not come until whole world joins Islam with the permission of Allah. And then people will see the truth. They will realize the truth.Nowadays, shaytan and people who are worse than shaytan are busy thinking how to take people out of the way. There is nothing else. There is no goodness. But Al-
Page656
lah loves goodness and those who do goodness. May Allah ‘Azza waJalla make us all steadfast on this way Insha Allah. May Allah be pleased with our brothers there. They have treated us very well and shown us around. We met good people everywhere. Insha Allah may the rest be honored with Islam too.
We ask that Allah gives guidance to the people we have met in the places we went to. And may Allah always give us the strength of Iman Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LOVING HIM IS FARD Tuesday, 19 September 2023 / 4 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, “There is a group from my Ummah who will act upon the truth until Qiyamah”. We look now, there are many people who say they are Muslim. There are many non-Muslims as well. But there is only one group who is based on truth, not all of them.
People’s minds have been messed up. Those who show the good as bad and the bad as good are outside of Islam. But Muslims are the same. They don’t accept the truth. They show it as not true and cheat people. They drag people behind them. And they are destroying them for no purpose in this world and losing the ranks and levels they could reach in Akhirah.
People think they are doing something good but they do useless things. They don’t accept the favors given to them. Instead, they say, “I will get it myself”. There are many people who strive to get totally useless things that are not worth having instead of beautiful things given to them. And most importantly, these are the people who don’t want the way and love of our Holy Prophet. They say they are Muslim. But they also say he is only a person just like us who died and is gone. Ḥāshā! (far from it)! There are many people who say so and cheat people. They are stupid people. And people who go after them are stupid too.
Page658
A Clever person is the person who knows the value, glory and honor of our our Holy and how much he Prophet ask for forgiveness and Shafa’ah (intercession) for his Ummah from Allah. We ask for theShafa’ah, of our Holy. Without his Shafa’ah our actions are just useless. Muslims will go to hell for a long time and then go to paradise. As long as they say, “La ilahailla Allah Muhammadun Rasulu Llah”, they will enter it. But people will have lived their lives in vain. And in Akhirah, they will stay in hell for years and be punished for the things they have done.
Shukr to Allah,we have entered the month of the birth of our Holy Prophet Mawlid Sharif. Honoring him and cultivating love to him means cultivating love to Allah. It is Fard to love him. To respect him and to honor him is Fard. Those who say it is Shirk are idiots. They are stupid and without Iman. They can be Muslim but cannot be Mu’min (believers). They cannot have Iman.
There is Islam and there is Iman. True Iman brings benefit to people. People with Iman, Mu’mins are people with a lot of love to our Holy Prophet, people with respect and honor to him. Insha Allah may this love increase. For the honor and Barakah of this month, may it be abundant Insha Allah.
“Whoever makes Salat and Salam to me, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes tenfold Salat and Salam and even more to him.” Therefore, may we make more Salat and Salam in this month Insha Allah. Make as much as you can. Don’t say it is too much or too little.
Make sure to make Salat and Salam upon our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

VIRTUES OF RECITING MAWLID SHARIF Wednesday, 20 September 2023 / 5 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: “Wa-mā arsalnāka illāraḥmatan li-l‘ālamīn”,“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.’’(Qur’ān 21:107). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is describing the attribute of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan and says, “We sent him as mercy to universes.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is honoring our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan.
As there is honoring of our Holy Prophet from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla everywhere, it is Fard for us to honor him as well. It is Fard to love him. Those who don’t love him don’t love Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who don’t love him? Shaytans don’t love him And those who are with shaytan. We should always praise our Holy Prophetand even more in this month. It is the month of Mawlid Sharif. It is the month when he honoured this world with his presence.
There are beautiful Mawlids written by different nations according to them. Thereare ones written by Arabs, Turks; everyone has their own. But this beautiful Mawlid written in the Ottoman Empire, Mawlid of Süleyman Çelebi Efendi is more spiritual and very high.Everyone wants to listen to it. And everyone’s love increases with it. It becomes better. It is found in different languages too. But as the one who wrote it was
Page660
honored by the Himmah (support) of our Holy Prophet, it has a more beautiful influence.
There are idiot people, not people but crooked scholars nowadays or people wholisten to them. They say Mawlid is Bid’ah or whatever. Mawlid can never be Bid’ah because people gather and recite Mawlid for the pleasure of Allah and for the love of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Even if you read it alone, you still attain that pleasure. You both make Salawat and honor him. Therefore, it is something that shaytans and those together with shaytan dislike the most.
There are many people who say all kinds of bad words in order to confuse people. But those who listen to them don’t gain, they lose.
Because the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is what will save us. Our deeds cannot save us. Our deeds don’t resemble anything and are useless. What is useful is the love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Therefore, telling about the beautiful life of our Holy Prophet since his birthand before his birth, about his light bring light and Thawab. It increases our ranks Insha Allah. May Allah bless us.
May our love to our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam increase Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LUCKY TO BE FROM HIS NATION Friday, 22 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.
Allāh ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n is praising our Holy Prophet. All beautiful things belong to him. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is a perfect person. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him as a mercy to us. Allāh‘Azza waJalla sent him as a mercy to all the worlds.
It is great luck to be from his ummah, nation. Compared to other nations, the obligations and worshipping given to our ummah are much easier. That is from the mercy of our Holy Prophet. For the honour of his countenance, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla treats us with beneficence. The previous nations had more prayers. Our fasting is one month; theirs was six months. And they broke their fast once a day and kept on fasting afterwards. We are saying this as an example. Even though things were more difficult for the previous nations, to be from the nation of our Holy Prophet has bountiful virtues. The most beloved servant of Allāh is our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. It is a great honour to be from his ummah.
In many places in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n it is said about our Holy Prophet, “We sent you as a mercy to the worlds. And you were created with the best manners and characteristics, with the most beautiful adab. That is given to you.“ Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling people with His word of truth in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. Our Holy Prophet says “It is
Page662
my duty. I was sent to complete all good characteristics.“ Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says so.
By the wisdom of Allāh, for people to believe in and accept him, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam in a place far from most people, where there were no schools or universities. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him there as a prophet to all humanity. Very few people studied there. There was nothing like a school. They would learn [to read and write] from each other, on their own. But our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam was not in a position to do that. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, as you know, by the wisdom of Allāh, was orphaned as a child, losing his mother, father, and grandfather. But Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who put that knowledge and all the knowledge in the world in his breast. If people studied for a thousand years, they would not be able to attain so much knowledge.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam is a miracle shown by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla– a true prophet and a mercy – in order for people to easily believe. What is this miracle? It is not karāmah. Karāmah, miraculous deeds, are for awliyā’. Miracles are for prophets. For those who reject the position of our Holy Prophet, there is no forgiveness. Those who don`t believe our Holy Prophet after seeing so many of his miracles are called kāfirs because of this. Kāfir means people who don`t admire anything and don`t believe in anything. People who don`t believe in themselves are characterized as kāfirs as well.
In any case, mu’mins, believers, follow the beautiful way of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. They don`t need any other way. Those who join this way, who are on the right way and follow a murshid, will be directly alongside our Holy Prophet in Paradise, with permission of Allāh. May Allāh make us steadfast on this way. For the honour of these beautiful days, for the honour of our Holy Prophet who was born in this month, may Allāh make us steadfast. May we love him and be from those loved by him, Insha Allah. How does he love us?
Page663
When you make ṣalawāt, he gives salām to you too. And he loves you. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us this chance.As we said in the beginning, we are very lucky people. No need to complain and say, “I have pain here and there, this and that. My wife is so. My husband is so.“ Keep this in mind. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made us from Ummati Muḥammad. The rest are unnecessary things. These things won`t go to ākhirah, but will remain in this world. They will be forgotten in five minutes here, or after a day. They will be gone after a month. This one and that one will go. As we said, what will stay is the love and intercession of our Holy Prophet. That is what is important. The rest is not important at all. You may die of hunger or disease, and it won`t be important; as long as you are on this way, you are in profit, with permission of Allāh.
May Allāh protect us. We don`t want tests. May Allāh give us from His grace and from the mercy of our Holy Prophet. Don`t ask for patience. Ask for beneficence, iḥsān. Being patient is difficult. Therefore, don`t ask for anything to be patient for. May Allāhnot deprive us of the mercy of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Insha Allah. May He not deprive us of his intercession, Insha Allah.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur’ān and describing our Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, “Wa-innaka la‘alákhuluqin‘aẓīm“ (68:4). You are in good – The perfect one in whole universe, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Everything he done or he was doing, he was perfect. Nothing you can say it is not good, not nice, not justice. No. Everything, it was perfect. Even the people who were enemy for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, if they [were] saying something without lying, they [were] accepting this.
Because this, once, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam sending message to kings and emperors around, to call, invite them to Islām. Once in Damascus, it was Caesar Heraclius. And he was looking for this message, and he was happy with the message. But he ask around him. They said, “No. This not acceptable,“ [those] around him. But he also want to
Page664
show them what it is good and not good. So there was a trader in – from, every time coming to Damascus from Makkah or Madīnah. And sohe said, “Bring one from this, from Makkah.“ That one time, there was no Muslim. And he was asking, “Okay, come here. Who are you? You know this man, who he said he [is] prophet?“ He said, “Yes.“ “Oh, okay. You wait here, I...“ And ask this: “You step here.“ And he said, “We make test for him.“
“Where is your companion – here? So, you are in front, they are behind. I will ask you and you must answer me honestly. If you are lying, you will be punished. And these people behind you, they will say if you say right or you say wrong about this, what I ask.“ So there was no anything can do this, to say wrong thing. And he was mushrik, kāfir.
And this Emperor Heraclius, he asking him about Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam: how he is, how, what is this.
And he was, everything, saying truth. Even these people, they was saying Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, perfect one. Nothing – not lying, not stealing, not cheating people, not oppressing people. Everything they ask, he was saying this. For this we saying, Allāh‘Azza waJalla, He send our Prophet, perfect.
And we are the mostlucky nation through whole centuries, whole prophets, who coming through Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until these days. Our nation, nation of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, they are most lucky one. Because they have not so difficult worshipping. Now, not too heavy worshipping. No heavy punishment for us.
Only what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla make for our Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam, His mercy, we are praying– and easy for us. [When] praying, don`t look for this people who saying it is too difficult to pray. They are liar, because they are doing in a day, thousand time more difficult thing. But when for praying, they say Worsh... worsh... For fasting also, it`s not difficult. Now we see people, they making diet, fasting for water. Three

days not eating, only water. Five days, only water. Ten days, only water. Fifteen days, fruit. Fifteen days – I don`t know what this is. So it is a nonsense thing. And but they, when they coming to fast – as what Allāh say us, and it is good for our health and for our body, for our situation – they say, difficult.But in olden time, like SayyidunāMūsá ‘alayhi s-salām time, they was praying more than us. And fasting, six months it was. Not one month, like us. And it is only once a day they can eat. Not – only one. After sunset, eating once, and this finish, no more. But we are, Alhamdulilah, we are – everything for us, lucky. And even with this – they have more worshipping, more difficult order – we are more, we have reward.

Cannot, one people – not one people, one university people – they cannot in thousand years to learn this. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He put in his heart, and everything coming through him. This is miracle from, for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Many miraclefrom Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. But non-believer they are
