We must turn back to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in order for humanity to be saved. Or else, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes these conditions increase with His wisdom as the end of times and Qiyamah are approaching.
Eventually, there will be a big cleansing. The cleansing will be with the bad ones going. Otherwise, there will not be a cleansing. Everywhere will be dirty with dirty people. Unless they are cleaned out, it won’t be clean.
This is the law of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It had happened with previous nations. As it is the end of times now and Qiyamah will occur, it is the worst, people have not left anything clean. They are discovering new things every day how much harm mankind is causing.
And people who claim to clean this and identify as clean are the dirtiest ones. Because they are the biggest enemies of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They think they are important and want people to follow them. And what they ask to follow is to deny Allah ‘Azza waJalla , If you deny Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, how can you be successful “Innama l-Mushrikoona Najas”, “Indeed the polytheists are unclean.” (Qur’ān 09:28).
Mushriks, those who don’t accept Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are dirty. Therefore, they are harming themselves and are exhausted. They must clean themselves first. Then this cleansing comes after.
May Allah help us. The condition is as such by the wisdom of Allah. Whoever understands this wisdom will be patient and his end will be safe. May Allah help us. May we be together with clean people Insha Allah.
Page524
There is both spiritual and physical dirtiness. Clean people will be saved. When a disease occurs, they wash their faces, hands and feet. They take a lot of medicine in order not to be sick by saying it is dirty. Everywhere is full of dirtiness now. They must clean themselves. There must be spiritual cleansing to be cleaned, for this world to be cleaned. It cannot be cleaned in any other way. It is so dirty, but there is the Sahib to clean it. Insha’Allah he will come soon and the earth will be cleaned Insha Allah.
May Allah let us reach him Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HIJRI CALENDAR IN WORSHIP Saturday, 15 July 2023 / 27 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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.
The Hijri new year is approaching Insha Allah. It is the end of this year. In terms of the Hijri calendar, Wednesday will be the beginning of the new year. One year passed. These are the blessed years.
Days, months and years, everything people do is in Hand of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is for them to know the calculations. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says :“Lita`lamū `Adada As-SinīnaWa Al-Ĥisāb”, “That you may know the number of years and the count [of time].” (Qur’an 10:05). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
For our life in this world, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created these days, months and years in order to measure everything, to evaluate how time is passing. Everything is His creation. Day and night, months and years are things He created.
Allah gave specialty to some things. Their specialty is that there are the times of worship in them. People calculate their times of worship according to these months.They act accordingly. It is done according to the lunar calculation. The Wajib and Fard in the religion of Islam are adjusted according to it.
Page526
If you do outside that, there is no benefit. You miss an important thing, you miss the Fard and you strive in vain. If you don’t fast in Ramadan but fast in January, you lose the virtue of the Fard then. And you commit a sin when you don’t fast in Ramadan. If you fast in winter to make it easier, saying the days are shorter, you commit a sin. It is same with the matter of Hajj. It is done according to the lunar Hijri calendar. It is once a year on a single day. When you miss that day, your Hajj is invalid.
These days are appointed by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The Mawlid of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is on the 12th of Rabi ulAwwal. When you celebrate it on the 20th of April, it has no benefit. Of course you should honor our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam every day. However, if you, according to your own mind, don’t celebrate on the 12th of Rabi ul-Awwal but celebrate it on the 20th of April, then you make Bid’ah and lose its virtue.
There are many things that we should calculate and not miss in terms of worship in this year, the Hijri year. Therefore, we should not be deceived by shaytan. Many people don’t even know when the Hijri year starts. When do they know? Never. Many people don’t know. But everyone gets prepared for the other new year thinking, “We should do this and that. We should commit a sin and do all kinds of things”. Shukr to Allah, there is not such a thing in the Hijri new year.
The Hijri new year is the year given by Allah as a gift to Muslims. Therefore, they must calculate things to be done according to it; if they can go to Hajj this year, when Ramadan is, when the Day of A’shura is. Everything has a different virtue. Missing them is a loss for people.
May Allah give us years with goodness Insha Allah. May they be of Barakah Insha Allah.

DON’T ACT BASED ON DREAMS Sunday, 16 July 2023 / 28 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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: The matter of dreams is always an issue for people. There are some that can be interpreted. Dreams that Prophets have are true dreams. They are by the order of Allah. Sometimes Prophets did not receive revelations so orders came directly through dreams, or they had both dreams and revelations.
But for normal people, they should not act based on dreams. People who have dreams should not think, “l was ordered this in a dream, I have to do it”. You can do it if it’s good. Otherwise: “I will do this and that with my life”, no need to act based on the dream they had. Because the order of Allah ‘Azzawa-Jalla is clear. The things we must do are clear.
There are good dreams. Interpreting them well will be the means for goodness. When they have a bad dream, it is better not to share them. No harm will come then. If they share it with everyone when someone competent in interpretation does it well, it will be good. If he does it badly, it will be bad. Therefore, it is not good to share it with everyone, or to interpret as they like. If they have a good dream, they should praise Allah and make Shukr. If they have a bad one, no need to share it. As long as they don’t tell, there is no harm.Most people, people of Dunya don’t show much importance to that. Nevertheless, there are
Page528
many people who are influenced by the dreams they have. They get demoralized and say, “We had a bad dream”. When you have a bad dream, as long as you don’t share it, it is not important. If you have a good dream, praise Allah, make Shukr and hope it is for the better Insha Allah.When it is good, unless you make Istikharah, no need to follow it. “This person will marry you. This person is good. This person is bad.” Looking at people well or badly based on a dream is not necessary. Because only Prophets have true dreams and they are told what to do.
In terms of Shari’ah, you cannot act based on a dream. If the dream is good, it is good. But if you are told not to do goodness in a dream, or if you see that this person is good and that person is bad, don’t pay much attention to it. Because you will have made “Su’u z-Zann”, bad assumptions out of nothing. And you will get badness“May Allah protect us.
Therefore, the matter of dreams is a matter which needs to be paid attention, especially by the people of Tariqah. If the people of Tariqah act [accordingly], shaytan enters from that door and says, “You are having a dream.” He can show the bad as good and the good as bad. There are shaytani dreams, too. Therefore, be careful. May Allah protect us. May we not obey our egos and may we always keep our ego down. May we not do what our egos want.The matter of dreams, as we said, there are shaytani and Rahmani dreams. Whatever people see, imagine or do during the day they may see in their dreams at night. Therefore, the matter of dreams is a matter to be careful with. May they be the means for goodness. If an order comes to you in a dream to go here and there and to do this and that, no need to go by that order.
May Allah make our dreams the means for goodness Insha Allah. May we have all kinds of goodness Insha Allah.

HIS ORDERS ARE FOR OUR BENEFIT Monday, 17 July 2023 / 29 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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 ‘Ātākumu Ar-Rasūlu Fakhudhūhu WaMā Nahākum `Anhu Fāntahū”, “And whatever the Messenger has given you take; and what he has forbidden you refrain from.” (Qur’an 59:07). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Follow the things brought by the religion, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam and Shari’ah, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Do what they order. Take and benefit from them, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And stay away from what is forbidden.
The Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan is the word of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is His advice and orders to people. It is the way that shows all kinds of goodness. And our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the one who shows us the way. Follow his way. Do what he does. Follow his orders and what hebrings. Obey his orders. Keep prohibited what he forbids. Do not follow them and do not do them.
Why is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying this? In order for people to have benefit. They are for the benefit of people. All these orders and prohibitions are for the goodness of mankind. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t need anything. He is the Creator. As He does not need anything, people must think and understand that this is for our benefit.
Page530
There are some stupid people who challenge Allahand go against Him. They do this and that. They do stupid things, nothing else. They are harming themselves, and they are oppressing themselves. When they do badness, badness comes to people.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent Prophets for the benefit of people. Everything they said is mercy and goodness for people. The opposite of that is shaytan. Shaytan wants all kinds of badness to humanity. Therefore, whoever has mind follows this path. Stupid ones go against it.
They think they are very clever. But they don’t obey the orders and don’t stay away from the forbidden. Even though they seem clever, they are not clever at all. Clever are the people who follow the good path and want to have the good end.
May Allah make us from them Insha Allah. May He let us follow the good path and keep us away from the bad paths, harm, torment and evil Insha Allah.

THE HIJRI YEAR IS FOR AKHIRAH Tuesday, 18 July 2023 / 30 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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.
May Allah give years with goodness. Shukr to Allah, tonight is the Hijri New Year. May it be a blessed year Insha Allah. May it be the year of Islam and bring victory to Islam. May it be the year when hardships disappear Insha Allah. We hope that Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam appears Insha Allah. Allah knows; but our belief, belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa lJama’ah is on the appearance of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam. As our Holy Prophet gave us the news of him, it is the duty of all of us to believe in this.
Another blessed year is gone and the new year is coming. One year is gone from our lives. Shukr to Allah. Insha Allah it is not gone for nothing. Because on the normal New Year of the other calendar they make great fuss, they make lots of preparation, and many people run here and there to commit all kinds of sins. They fill up the streets, they scream and shout, drink and do bad things.
Shukr to Allah, this New Year is not like that. It starts with dignity and beauty. The other one starts at midnight and this one in at Maghrib. Shukr to Allah, at Maghrib tonight we are entering the new year. The year that has the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Ramadan, ‘Ids, Qurban, Ashura, fasting and Hajj. All of them are in this year. It is a blessed year. Of course, the other one can be used too. The other one has a different
Page532
duty. But this one is for worship. The things to be done according to religion are in this one, not after this. We cannot mix them up. That one is different and this one is different. This one is for Akhirah and has Barakah.
This year is coming to end. Today is its last day. Until Maghrib, the year 1,444 is coming to an end. With the Maghrib Adhan, we will enter the new year. Shukr to Allah everything of this calendar is different than the other one. The other one is the year of Dunya. But this one is the year of Akhirah.
Therefore, we ask for the mercy of Allah today and make Dua so that the worship we’ve performed is accepted and the sins are forgiven for our Akhirah. May He forgive our sins and mistakes we’ve made. May He change our badness to goodness. May Hechange our sins to Thawab. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving this promise in the Qur’an: YubaddiluLlāhu sayyiātihim ḥasanāt”, “For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good.” (Qur’an 25:70).
The sins of the people who repent become Thawab. We repent to Insha Allah.
May Allah forgive us. May the new year be good and be the year of Islam Insha Allah. We hope there is salvation for humanity and Muslims Insha Allah.

THE HIJRI CALENDAR BELONGS TO HIM Wednesday, 19 July 2023 / 1 Muharram 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Shukr to Allah, we have reached the new year. May it be blessed and good. It is the beginning of the year according to the Hijri calendar which started with the Hijrah of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam from Makkah to Madinah. As the calendar of Muslims and our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the Hijri calendar especially belongs to the holy being of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Therefore, it is ok to congratulate on it. People congratulate on other things. These holy years are the means for goodness year by year Insha Allah. If you wish for goodness, you will get goodness, says our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
These blessed days are in the month of Muharram which is a holy month too. It is the last of the Haram (Sacred) months. Dhu l-Qa’dah, Dhu l-Hijjah and Muharram: these three months are designated for Hajj. There is also the month of Rajab; that is separate. These three months are consecutive. They are the days of the Hajj season. These months have their specialties. There is the 10th of Muharram, Ashurah. It is a very big day. It is among the days that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave as Barakah to people. There are great Thawab and good tidings from our Holy Prophet to those who fast in Muharram. There is Barakah also.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes seasons for everything. He creates occasions for believers to benefit from them. We ask for all kinds of goodness from
Page534
Allah because of this. We beg to Him so that He gives Iman and guidance to people, so that they don’t go astray from the right way.
People have become toys of shaytan. They don’t think about Akhirah. They only think about Dunya. As long as they think about Dunya, they will have difficulties. There won’t be easiness. Without the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you may be as skilled as you want, it doesn’t help. Therefore, we should always ask for Barakah and help from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. May Allah help us all.
We have joined this way with His virtue and kindness. We make Dua that we keep on this wayInsha Allah. May there be guidance to Muslims. Many Muslims don’t know what they are doing. May Allah send the Sahib so that he informs and shows people the way. May they not go out of the way. May they get it together.
Certainly, he will come Insha Allah. We hope every day that he comes. We hope every year that he comes. Insha Allah this year will be his year, the year of Barakah, the year of beauty Insha Allah. May they be the years of Islam from now on Insha Allah. May Allah protect all of us.
May He give us the strength of Iman. May He protect our Iman Insha Allah.

RETURN TRUSTS TO THEIR OWNERS Thursday, 20 July 2023 / 2 Muharram 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Inna Allāha Ya`murukum `An Tu`uaddū Al-`Amānāti `Ilá `Ahlihā’ (Qur’ān 04:58). “Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due.’’ ṢadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving an order in Qur’an ‘AzimushShan, “Whatever you’ve been trusted, give it to whom they are due, give it to their owners”.
Whoever keeps the trust gets Barakah. Whoever betrays the trust will not have any benefit. Many people think they gained something when they have something valuable in their hands. Oftentimes they don’t want to give it back. They want to keep it. That doesn’t bring any benefit. That brings harms and no benefit, because it becomes Haram. Whoever consumes Haram does not have any goodness, neither in his body, nor in his soul. Deliver that trust to its destination, give it to its owner, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is something both physical and spiritual. People who hold the trust such as chairmanship, position of Sheikh or other; all those are a trust too. Whoever is given it, he must deliver it. It must be delivered to whomever it belongs to. This is important.
In general, things given to mankind and Haram seem sweet to people’s egos. People get greedy. When they are greedy, they consume poison. If you say, “Give it to me. Let me keep it” regarding this thing that just
Page536
looks nice, it is poison. It will kill you. It will bring no benefit at all. It will make you crawl and lead you to all kinds of badness.
Make sure to give the trust to their owners. It can be inheritance or other things. They must certainly be given. Beware of obeying your ego and shaytan and taking that poison. Don’t take that bad thing. It will be nice when you give it to its owner on time. It will bring great benefit to you then. But if you decide to take it to yourself, it will be very harmful to you. It will be a big disaster.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not keep us liable for anyone’s right Insha Allah. The rights of servants are tough. May Allah protect us.

CONTINUITY IS A KARĀMĀH Friday, 21 July 2023 / 3 Muharram 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.
“Ajallu l-karāmātdawāmu t-tawfīq”. If you want a Karāmāh, being steadfast on this way is from the best Karāmāt. When the way is good, there are many things that try to take you out of it. Shaytan, Nafs (ego), Hawa (desire), Dunyā these are the enemies of people. They certainly strive to take people out of the way. It doesn’t serve their purpose when you are on the way. They want to mislead you. If you want a Karāmāh, when you are steadfast on the way, know that Allah has given you such a beautiful state that you have the Karāmāh of Awliya.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says: “A’habbu l-‘aa’maliilaAllah ‘adwamuhawa-in qalla”, “The acts most pleasing to God are those which are done most continuously, even if they amount to little.”
The best thing and worship that you do is the continuous one, even if little. There are some people who think they become Awliya all of a sudden and start doing things they are not capable of. They do it for a week or two weeks. And within 1-2 months nothing remains with them; they can’t do it. Whereas if they do little by little but continuously, that is enough for them. Sometimes people do things they cannot do. They quit it completely then and don’t do it at all. But when they do it little
Page538
by little, it will be continuous and last until they die. When they die, Thawab will be written for them.
Therefore, don’t do things you cannot keep up. It is the same with worldly things. We see some people, we see youngsters who spend 35 hours a day working out. If you cannot do this thing throughout your life, do a little, as much as you can do.
Continuity is the accepted thing both for Dunyā and Ākhirah. It is the good and advised thing. It is the most important thing, because people cannot do everything. Every person has a skill and capacity, things he can do and things he cannot do. Therefore, when you undergo something you cannot do and cannot maintain it throughout your life, it will not have any benefit. It will be harmful.
Therefore, mankind should do what they are capable of doing continuously.Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘LayukallifuLlahu nafsan illa wus’aha’’. ‘‘Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.’’ (Qur’ān 02:286).
Link: https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=8404
We must turn back to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in order for humanity to be saved. Or else, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes these conditions increase with His wisdom as the end of times and Qiyamah are approaching.
Eventually, there will be a big cleansing. The cleansing will be with the bad ones going. Otherwise, there will not be a cleansing. Everywhere will be dirty with dirty people. Unless they are cleaned out, it won’t be clean.

Mushriks, those who don’t accept Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are dirty. Therefore, they are harming themselves and are exhausted. They must clean themselves first. Then this cleansing comes after.
May Allah help us. The condition is as such by the wisdom of Allah. Whoever understands this wisdom will be patient and his end will be safe. May Allah help us. May we be together with clean people Insha Allah.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HIJRI CALENDAR IN WORSHIP Saturday, 15 July 2023 / 27 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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.
The Hijri new year is approaching Insha Allah. It is the end of this year. In terms of the Hijri calendar, Wednesday will be the beginning of the new year. One year passed. These are the blessed years.
Days, months and years, everything people do is in Hand of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is for them to know the calculations. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says :“Lita`lamū `Adada As-SinīnaWa Al-Ĥisāb”, “That you may know the number of years and the count [of time].” (Qur’an 10:05). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
For our life in this world, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created these days, months and years in order to measure everything, to evaluate how time is passing. Everything is His creation. Day and night, months and years are things He created.
Allah gave specialty to some things. Their specialty is that there are the times of worship in them. People calculate their times of worship according to these months.They act accordingly. It is done according to the lunar calculation. The Wajib and Fard in the religion of Islam are adjusted according to it.
Page526
If you do outside that, there is no benefit. You miss an important thing, you miss the Fard and you strive in vain. If you don’t fast in Ramadan but fast in January, you lose the virtue of the Fard then. And you commit a sin when you don’t fast in Ramadan. If you fast in winter to make it easier, saying the days are shorter, you commit a sin. It is same with the matter of Hajj. It is done according to the lunar Hijri calendar. It is once a year on a single day. When you miss that day, your Hajj is invalid.
These days are appointed by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The Mawlid of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is on the 12th of Rabi ulAwwal. When you celebrate it on the 20th of April, it has no benefit. Of course you should honor our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam every day. However, if you, according to your own mind, don’t celebrate on the 12th of Rabi ul-Awwal but celebrate it on the 20th of April, then you make Bid’ah and lose its virtue.
There are many things that we should calculate and not miss in terms of worship in this year, the Hijri year. Therefore, we should not be deceived by shaytan. Many people don’t even know when the Hijri year starts. When do they know? Never. Many people don’t know. But everyone gets prepared for the other new year thinking, “We should do this and that. We should commit a sin and do all kinds of things”. Shukr to Allah, there is not such a thing in the Hijri new year.
The Hijri new year is the year given by Allah as a gift to Muslims. Therefore, they must calculate things to be done according to it; if they can go to Hajj this year, when Ramadan is, when the Day of A’shura is. Everything has a different virtue. Missing them is a loss for people.
May Allah give us years with goodness Insha Allah. May they be of Barakah Insha Allah.

DON’T ACT BASED ON DREAMS Sunday, 16 July 2023 / 28 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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: The matter of dreams is always an issue for people. There are some that can be interpreted. Dreams that Prophets have are true dreams. They are by the order of Allah. Sometimes Prophets did not receive revelations so orders came directly through dreams, or they had both dreams and revelations.
But for normal people, they should not act based on dreams. People who have dreams should not think, “l was ordered this in a dream, I have to do it”. You can do it if it’s good. Otherwise: “I will do this and that with my life”, no need to act based on the dream they had. Because the order of Allah ‘Azzawa-Jalla is clear. The things we must do are clear.
There are good dreams. Interpreting them well will be the means for goodness. When they have a bad dream, it is better not to share them. No harm will come then. If they share it with everyone when someone competent in interpretation does it well, it will be good. If he does it badly, it will be bad. Therefore, it is not good to share it with everyone, or to interpret as they like. If they have a good dream, they should praise Allah and make Shukr. If they have a bad one, no need to share it. As long as they don’t tell, there is no harm.Most people, people of Dunya don’t show much importance to that. Nevertheless, there are
Page528
many people who are influenced by the dreams they have. They get demoralized and say, “We had a bad dream”. When you have a bad dream, as long as you don’t share it, it is not important. If you have a good dream, praise Allah, make Shukr and hope it is for the better Insha Allah.When it is good, unless you make Istikharah, no need to follow it. “This person will marry you. This person is good. This person is bad.” Looking at people well or badly based on a dream is not necessary. Because only Prophets have true dreams and they are told what to do.
In terms of Shari’ah, you cannot act based on a dream. If the dream is good, it is good. But if you are told not to do goodness in a dream, or if you see that this person is good and that person is bad, don’t pay much attention to it. Because you will have made “Su’u z-Zann”, bad assumptions out of nothing. And you will get badness“May Allah protect us.
Therefore, the matter of dreams is a matter which needs to be paid attention, especially by the people of Tariqah. If the people of Tariqah act [accordingly], shaytan enters from that door and says, “You are having a dream.” He can show the bad as good and the good as bad. There are shaytani dreams, too. Therefore, be careful. May Allah protect us. May we not obey our egos and may we always keep our ego down. May we not do what our egos want.The matter of dreams, as we said, there are shaytani and Rahmani dreams. Whatever people see, imagine or do during the day they may see in their dreams at night. Therefore, the matter of dreams is a matter to be careful with. May they be the means for goodness. If an order comes to you in a dream to go here and there and to do this and that, no need to go by that order.
May Allah make our dreams the means for goodness Insha Allah. May we have all kinds of goodness Insha Allah.

HIS ORDERS ARE FOR OUR BENEFIT Monday, 17 July 2023 / 29 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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 ‘Ātākumu Ar-Rasūlu Fakhudhūhu WaMā Nahākum `Anhu Fāntahū”, “And whatever the Messenger has given you take; and what he has forbidden you refrain from.” (Qur’an 59:07). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Follow the things brought by the religion, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam and Shari’ah, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Do what they order. Take and benefit from them, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And stay away from what is forbidden.
The Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan is the word of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is His advice and orders to people. It is the way that shows all kinds of goodness. And our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the one who shows us the way. Follow his way. Do what he does. Follow his orders and what hebrings. Obey his orders. Keep prohibited what he forbids. Do not follow them and do not do them.
Why is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying this? In order for people to have benefit. They are for the benefit of people. All these orders and prohibitions are for the goodness of mankind. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t need anything. He is the Creator. As He does not need anything, people must think and understand that this is for our benefit.
Page530
There are some stupid people who challenge Allahand go against Him. They do this and that. They do stupid things, nothing else. They are harming themselves, and they are oppressing themselves. When they do badness, badness comes to people.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent Prophets for the benefit of people. Everything they said is mercy and goodness for people. The opposite of that is shaytan. Shaytan wants all kinds of badness to humanity. Therefore, whoever has mind follows this path. Stupid ones go against it.
They think they are very clever. But they don’t obey the orders and don’t stay away from the forbidden. Even though they seem clever, they are not clever at all. Clever are the people who follow the good path and want to have the good end.
May Allah make us from them Insha Allah. May He let us follow the good path and keep us away from the bad paths, harm, torment and evil Insha Allah.

THE HIJRI YEAR IS FOR AKHIRAH Tuesday, 18 July 2023 / 30 Dhul Hijjah 1444 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.
May Allah give years with goodness. Shukr to Allah, tonight is the Hijri New Year. May it be a blessed year Insha Allah. May it be the year of Islam and bring victory to Islam. May it be the year when hardships disappear Insha Allah. We hope that Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam appears Insha Allah. Allah knows; but our belief, belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa lJama’ah is on the appearance of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam. As our Holy Prophet gave us the news of him, it is the duty of all of us to believe in this.
Another blessed year is gone and the new year is coming. One year is gone from our lives. Shukr to Allah. Insha Allah it is not gone for nothing. Because on the normal New Year of the other calendar they make great fuss, they make lots of preparation, and many people run here and there to commit all kinds of sins. They fill up the streets, they scream and shout, drink and do bad things.
Shukr to Allah, this New Year is not like that. It starts with dignity and beauty. The other one starts at midnight and this one in at Maghrib. Shukr to Allah, at Maghrib tonight we are entering the new year. The year that has the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Ramadan, ‘Ids, Qurban, Ashura, fasting and Hajj. All of them are in this year. It is a blessed year. Of course, the other one can be used too. The other one has a different
Page532
duty. But this one is for worship. The things to be done according to religion are in this one, not after this. We cannot mix them up. That one is different and this one is different. This one is for Akhirah and has Barakah.
This year is coming to end. Today is its last day. Until Maghrib, the year 1,444 is coming to an end. With the Maghrib Adhan, we will enter the new year. Shukr to Allah everything of this calendar is different than the other one. The other one is the year of Dunya. But this one is the year of Akhirah.
Therefore, we ask for the mercy of Allah today and make Dua so that the worship we’ve performed is accepted and the sins are forgiven for our Akhirah. May He forgive our sins and mistakes we’ve made. May He change our badness to goodness. May Hechange our sins to Thawab. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving this promise in the Qur’an: YubaddiluLlāhu sayyiātihim ḥasanāt”, “For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good.” (Qur’an 25:70).
The sins of the people who repent become Thawab. We repent to Insha Allah.
May Allah forgive us. May the new year be good and be the year of Islam Insha Allah. We hope there is salvation for humanity and Muslims Insha Allah.

THE HIJRI CALENDAR BELONGS TO HIM Wednesday, 19 July 2023 / 1 Muharram 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Shukr to Allah, we have reached the new year. May it be blessed and good. It is the beginning of the year according to the Hijri calendar which started with the Hijrah of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam from Makkah to Madinah. As the calendar of Muslims and our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the Hijri calendar especially belongs to the holy being of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Therefore, it is ok to congratulate on it. People congratulate on other things. These holy years are the means for goodness year by year Insha Allah. If you wish for goodness, you will get goodness, says our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
These blessed days are in the month of Muharram which is a holy month too. It is the last of the Haram (Sacred) months. Dhu l-Qa’dah, Dhu l-Hijjah and Muharram: these three months are designated for Hajj. There is also the month of Rajab; that is separate. These three months are consecutive. They are the days of the Hajj season. These months have their specialties. There is the 10th of Muharram, Ashurah. It is a very big day. It is among the days that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave as Barakah to people. There are great Thawab and good tidings from our Holy Prophet to those who fast in Muharram. There is Barakah also.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes seasons for everything. He creates occasions for believers to benefit from them. We ask for all kinds of goodness from
Page534
Allah because of this. We beg to Him so that He gives Iman and guidance to people, so that they don’t go astray from the right way.
People have become toys of shaytan. They don’t think about Akhirah. They only think about Dunya. As long as they think about Dunya, they will have difficulties. There won’t be easiness. Without the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you may be as skilled as you want, it doesn’t help. Therefore, we should always ask for Barakah and help from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. May Allah help us all.
We have joined this way with His virtue and kindness. We make Dua that we keep on this wayInsha Allah. May there be guidance to Muslims. Many Muslims don’t know what they are doing. May Allah send the Sahib so that he informs and shows people the way. May they not go out of the way. May they get it together.
Certainly, he will come Insha Allah. We hope every day that he comes. We hope every year that he comes. Insha Allah this year will be his year, the year of Barakah, the year of beauty Insha Allah. May they be the years of Islam from now on Insha Allah. May Allah protect all of us.
May He give us the strength of Iman. May He protect our Iman Insha Allah.

RETURN TRUSTS TO THEIR OWNERS Thursday, 20 July 2023 / 2 Muharram 1445 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Inna Allāha Ya`murukum `An Tu`uaddū Al-`Amānāti `Ilá `Ahlihā’ (Qur’ān 04:58). “Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due.’’ ṢadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving an order in Qur’an ‘AzimushShan, “Whatever you’ve been trusted, give it to whom they are due, give it to their owners”.
Whoever keeps the trust gets Barakah. Whoever betrays the trust will not have any benefit. Many people think they gained something when they have something valuable in their hands. Oftentimes they don’t want to give it back. They want to keep it. That doesn’t bring any benefit. That brings harms and no benefit, because it becomes Haram. Whoever consumes Haram does not have any goodness, neither in his body, nor in his soul. Deliver that trust to its destination, give it to its owner, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is something both physical and spiritual. People who hold the trust such as chairmanship, position of Sheikh or other; all those are a trust too. Whoever is given it, he must deliver it. It must be delivered to whomever it belongs to. This is important.
In general, things given to mankind and Haram seem sweet to people’s egos. People get greedy. When they are greedy, they consume poison. If you say, “Give it to me. Let me keep it” regarding this thing that just
Page536
looks nice, it is poison. It will kill you. It will bring no benefit at all. It will make you crawl and lead you to all kinds of badness.
Make sure to give the trust to their owners. It can be inheritance or other things. They must certainly be given. Beware of obeying your ego and shaytan and taking that poison. Don’t take that bad thing. It will be nice when you give it to its owner on time. It will bring great benefit to you then. But if you decide to take it to yourself, it will be very harmful to you. It will be a big disaster.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not keep us liable for anyone’s right Insha Allah. The rights of servants are tough. May Allah protect us.

CONTINUITY IS A KARĀMĀH Friday, 21 July 2023 / 3 Muharram 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.
“Ajallu l-karāmātdawāmu t-tawfīq”. If you want a Karāmāh, being steadfast on this way is from the best Karāmāt. When the way is good, there are many things that try to take you out of it. Shaytan, Nafs (ego), Hawa (desire), Dunyā these are the enemies of people. They certainly strive to take people out of the way. It doesn’t serve their purpose when you are on the way. They want to mislead you. If you want a Karāmāh, when you are steadfast on the way, know that Allah has given you such a beautiful state that you have the Karāmāh of Awliya.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says: “A’habbu l-‘aa’maliilaAllah ‘adwamuhawa-in qalla”, “The acts most pleasing to God are those which are done most continuously, even if they amount to little.”
The best thing and worship that you do is the continuous one, even if little. There are some people who think they become Awliya all of a sudden and start doing things they are not capable of. They do it for a week or two weeks. And within 1-2 months nothing remains with them; they can’t do it. Whereas if they do little by little but continuously, that is enough for them. Sometimes people do things they cannot do. They quit it completely then and don’t do it at all. But when they do it little
Page538
by little, it will be continuous and last until they die. When they die, Thawab will be written for them.
Therefore, don’t do things you cannot keep up. It is the same with worldly things. We see some people, we see youngsters who spend 35 hours a day working out. If you cannot do this thing throughout your life, do a little, as much as you can do.
Continuity is the accepted thing both for Dunyā and Ākhirah. It is the good and advised thing. It is the most important thing, because people cannot do everything. Every person has a skill and capacity, things he can do and things he cannot do. Therefore, when you undergo something you cannot do and cannot maintain it throughout your life, it will not have any benefit. It will be harmful.
Therefore, mankind should do what they are capable of doing continuously.Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘LayukallifuLlahu nafsan illa wus’aha’’. ‘‘Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.’’ (Qur’ān 02:286).
