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: “Aṭiū’Llāha waaṭiū’ r-Rasūla wa Ūli l‘Amri minkum’’ (Qur’ān 04:59). “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.’’
This is the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We heard this order many times from Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah ad-Daghestani. He was repeating it many times. From Mawlana Sheikh, not so much. But from Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah ad-Daghestani, we heard this many many times.
Which means obey Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, obey Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and obey your ruler. What they order for the benefit of people, you must obey. Ofcourse if it is not against the order of Allah. First is the order of Allah: you pray and fast. If they are not saying anything about this, it’s ok. Other things, some of them if they are not obliging you to do sin or to do something against the order of Allah, you must obey them. If they are not touching you and not doing anything, you obey. But if they are ordering you [against Allah’s order], there’s no need of course to obey them. Because everything in this life, Allah gave us. So the first One to obey is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and of course Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. His order is the same, not against the order of Allah. There were many tyrants coming through history. They were all making unacceptable things. So Allah sent
Page438
prophets for them to advise them not to do this and to obey the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Many of these people came and you hear about these people in history and holy books. Their order was against the order of Allah.
All of them are gone and Allah is still as He was and He is. Nothing changes from Allah. Everything changes, only Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not change.
This means everything changes, everything, nothing stays the same in this existence, only the real one Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Lord. Nothing is like Him and no one can imagine Him. You cannot say, “Like this, like that.” Allah is as He was,Mawlana Sheikh asked for this [to be written] and it was written in the Dergah like this.
Sowe are here for obeying the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for understanding the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Sayyidina ‘Isa ‘alayhi ssalam whom these crazy people claim is god – They said for pagan people, “You are worshiping many gods. We are worshiping only one.” After that, they said three [trinity]. ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam said to Jewish people, “O Jewish people, follow me to understand Musa ‘alayhi s-salam. If you follow yourself, you will not understand.” And Sayyidina Muhammad sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said to the Jews and Christians, “Follow me to understand Musa ‘alayhi s-salam and ‘Isa ‘alayhi ssalam.” Because he is the real successor. He is the real one. Each prophet was saying to his nation like this, “Follow me to understand the prophethood before. I will tell you about him.” Each one was like this because all are one. There is no difference between them.
They are teaching people about what they don’t understand about their religion and about their prophets. They were quickly changing and following not prophets but their ego and what they like. Because real Christianity is like Judaism: they cannot eat pork. After this, one came and said by himself, “Ok I let you. You can eat this.” He changed many things. He put the trinity and put everything. And they were happy
Page439
with this, because they were before worshiping idols also, many gods. So when he said like this, they were following him. This is the habit of human beings. To follow what their ego likes, what their ego is happy with. It seems easy for them to do so, but in reality it is not easy. It is only easy for their body, for enjoying. But after this, the are destroying their body. And their spirituality is completely destroyed.
Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying to these people, “Come to me to understand your prophet, your religion. I explain and if you come sincerely, you will accept this. If not, you will not come.” And many of them didn’t come. Until now, they are against; sometimes openly and sometimes not. In old times, they were doing this openly. They wanted to destroy what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying and his way. But these days, they are doing as if they are showing humanity, and showing Islam against humanity.
“Islam Dinu l-Fitrah.”Islam is the religion of the nature of human beings“Allah created everyone with his nature; man man, woman woman, animal animal, tree tree. Allah created everything perfect. After that, they are tricking people to destroy human beings and humanity. Islam praises human beings. The most [important] thing in Islam is to praise human beings. Anything they do from wrong or sin before Islam, when they accept Islam, Allah forgives all of this. They begin from zero; no sin, nothing. Is there any rule in the world that can do this! If you do something and you accept something you will be forgiven! There’s nothing. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows the hearts of people. For this, with His mercy He forgives everything before Islam.
They are showing Islam as very difficult but no. It is just two words: La ilahailla Allah, Muhammadun Rasulu Allah. After this, you become Muslim. It’s nothing. But even with this, they are making it too difficult, not accepting. Many times, people try to say this; “Okay just say this and you’ll be forgiven”, they are not saying this. Because the ego and shaytan are very strong. They are not letting them accept this. But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not in need of these people. These people think they
Page440
are something and they are controlling everything. But in the end of life, they control nothing. They know this. In the end of life, they give up everything and just go without anything.
Now they made a new fashion, here I think, they said not much people cremate themselves. They ask to be cremated. And this is also big ‘Azab, punishment. Because Islam, as we said, is the religion of the nature. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows what human beings are. We believe that when somebody dies, only his soul leaves but some of his body [organs] are still functioning; he is hearing and feeling also. Researchers in western countries were researching about this and they accepted this. In the mind, there is still something. Still nails falling, hair falling. They even said that when they are washing a dead body, he feels if the water is cold or hot. How are they saying there’s nothing and they are burning people in fire! They are really terrible! And after that they say we are humanists and Islam is against humanity. This is a ridiculous thing!
These people, Allah gave them everything, Allah gave them very good Ni’mah, very good land, very good country, richness, but they don’t have the most valuable thing we need: it is Iman, belief, belief in the oneness of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. And when they accept only this: the oneness of Allah, they will be safe. If they don’t accept, they are free. There is ‘democracy’ they say. They are going and bringing democracy to everywhere in the world. And they are making everything upside down; millions of hungry people, millions of refugees. After that, they are complaining, “Refugees are coming here, coming there.” Millions of people died by themselves, against themselves. This is the democracy. They are happy with this. And “Islam is not good” they say. There must be something in their heads because they have too much weed [Mawlana laughs]. Sub Han Allah there’s one joke they say they are sinking; sinking instead of thinking. One sheep was in the sea and there was a storm so it was asking for help. They said to the Egyptians, “We are sinking, we are sinking”. [Egyptians pronounce sinking instead of thinking]. Egyptians don’t saying thinking so they said, “About what? They are sinking about what?”
Page441
Insha Allah may Allah give good understanding. May Allah give them Iman. Because they are good people but shaytan is happy with them. He doesn’t need to do too much with them, they are [already] in this way. But we also want goodness for everyone from human beings, to rise, to be human, not to be less than human.
May Allah help us. May Allah help you here also Sheikh Ali and others. They are all trying to keep their children, at least to keep our children. It is also a very big mission for us. Because between these people, they [children] are also cheated by these people and think Islam is nothing. Civilization was coming through Islam. The highest civilization came though Islam. When Islam came, in Europe they were living like animals, everything was very bad. They were even treating women [badly] and they weren’t accepting them as human beings. Islam brought light to the world. So our people, our children must know they are in the highest station of civilization. Whoever follows this, his ranks goesup. Whoever follows the other side, he becomes as they were before: less than animals.
May Allah forgive us. May Allah help us Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LOVE THE FOUR CALIPHS Thursday, 8 June 2023 / 19 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Mississauga, Canada.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Alhamdulilah everybody knows we are Muslim people Insha Allah and Mu’min people also Insha Allah. We are trying to be good ones Insha Allah. This is our aim: to be good people, an example for others as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is an example for us. We are also trying to imitate him. For this, everything our Prophet does: we know some of them but most of them we don’t know. The Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allah rewards who does the Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allah rewards him because he imitates Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Allah loves Him and orders to follow Him for Allah to love you. How does Allah love us? With following Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam, following his way which is coming through Sahabah and through the four Khalifah (Caliphs) who were giving good tidings about Jannah. There are some people who think that if they love one, it is enough. No, it’s not enough. If you love one only, nobody loves you , Prophet doesn’t love you. And when Prophet doesn’t love somebody, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t love him.
This is very important. Not to mix bad ideas in this pure way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because when you say, “I don’t love three of the Khalifahs of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam” you are saying
Page443
that our Prophetdoesn’t know anything. What is this ridiculousness! What is this foolishness! People think that if they love Sayyidina‘Ali, they must hate the others. Sayyidina‘Ali was the most loved one for these three people. They were relatives. They took the daughters and sisters of each other [in marriage]. They are not enemies! You are coming after a thousand years making enmity and you think you are something! You are wrong! Completely wrong! You don’t have Adab! You don’t have good behavior! You don’t even have manners if you say this! Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves them all and you say, “I don’t love them.” This is not acceptable at all!
Tariqah people are Alhamdulilah Naqshbandi. We are Naqshbandi people who are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. The most strongly holding of his way, his Sunnah, his deeds, his sayings are the Naqshbandi Alhamdulilah. Of course, other Tariqahs also: Qadiri, Rifai, Chishti, Dusuqi, Shadhili, Tijani. All these Tariqahs are also Haqq Tariqahs. All 41 Tariqahs that are Haqq are in this way. Who are out of this way, don’t look at them! Don’t listen to them! Say, “You are ignorant! Go and learn about Prophet, about whom Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam loves and doesn’t love.” You must know this. Don’t make your ego to be happy, “Maybe people will follow me.” If they follow you, you take them to Jahannam only, not anywhere else.
This is the way of love. Islam is peace, love. Many people now say, “Love, Love” but it is not love. It is hypocrite love. The real love is Islam: loving everybody, loving Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. But others who say, “I love this, I hate this.” This is a no. This means there is no love there, there is hate. There cannot be hate and love together. All the companions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam: he loves them. And he doesn’t want anybody to say anything against these holy people whom he said about: “They are like the stars. If you follow any of them, you will be in the right way. If you don’t follow any of them, you will be out of the way.” There are many, also these Salafi people, these crazy people say, “There is no Madhhab. The Sahabah don’t have Madhhab.” Each Sahabah is a Madhhab, because you are following them. Prophet sal-
Page444
laLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that they saw Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and they are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. But they didn’t write, they didn’t continue this Madhhab. Only after nearly a 100 years, they began because many Sahabah after 80 years, most of them passed away and their way finished; no more Madhhab from Sahabah. The Madhhab came slowly slowly [after]. There was also many Madhhabs before the four Madhhabs. But also when there were no followers left, they became only four Madhhabs. Those which Ahlu s-Sunnah walJama’ah, especially Tariqah people must follow one of them. You cannot say, “I am out of this.” There is no fifth Madhhab; only four. Who is out of these, don’t follow them. Because they don’t have love, they only have hate.
So for this, there is only four Madhhabs for Ahlu s-Sunnah walJama’ah. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam praised them and said to be with them. He said, “The Ummah will be divided into 73 groups. All of them are not right but one is.” The Sahabah asked, “Which one?” He said, “The majority.” The majority is these four Madhhabs. They accept each other and they are not against each other. For this, this is mercy for the Ummah: to follow one of these Madhhabs. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made it easy for people to follow. Each country, each people have a Madhhab suitable for them. As Madhhab Maliki is for African people or some people, so it will be easy for their dressing and other. For Hanafi, there is easiness [for them]. For Shafi’i another easiness for them. And Hanbali also. Each people must follow what is easy for them.
They cannot say, “I am looking only from Qur’an and from Hadith.” What do you understand from Qur’an and from Hadith! Nobody understands. To understand from Hadith and Qur’an, you must read for at least 20-25 years to understand. So everybody cannot be ‘Alim and cannot do this. We already have Alhamdulilah, these big Imam, Imam of Tariqah, Imam of four Madhhab. They are not like the ‘Alims of our time. They are incredible. You cannot imagine how very clever they were, how Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave them the knowledge! They wrote books even if somebody told them
Page445
[these people] what to write, in 100 years they cannot write them. They wrote and gave examples and solutions for everything. Alhamdulilah this is from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s mercy and a gift for us. Since more than twelve hundred years people have been following this Alhamdulilah.
So people, Tariqah people must be respectful of all of this. Because in this time, there is this machine everybody is looking at telephones and machines. This one who doesn’t know how to wash himself is coming and giving Fatwas against Imams and against the four Khulafa’ (Caliphs), and people are watching. This is not acceptable at all! Don’t look at these people! Don’t watch them! Don’t give any attention for these people! These people are making your belief weak, making you away from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, making your Iman weak. When your Imam is weak, in the end you will be without Iman. This is a very dangerous thing.
May Allah give us real Iman and real knowledge. It is very important. We are living also here or anywhere, now it is controlled by shaytan. This is the summary in short. Everywhere in the world, shaytan is controlling. Maybe here, nonbelievers of course can do anything. But don’t think that in your country also, they are not controlling. They are controlling everywhere, and maybe more than here. They are destroying the belief of people and only making them look for their pleasure, to make their ego bigger and bigger. Especially these people who like people to watch them and listen to them.
Allah knows best, as Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam told us, we are in the time of Akhiru z-Zaman, end of times. This is exactly what Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam said. Prophecy means to say what will happen later. Everything Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam said, one by one, has been happening since his time until now. And now looks like it is the end of times. Because as we said, shaytan is controlling everything in this world. But his kingdom is not forever; it will finish Insha Allah.
Page446
So for this, we are not hopeless. We are hopeful. Hopeless are those who don’t believe in Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:LāTaqnatū Min RaĥmatiAllāhi’,“Do not despair of the mercy of Allah.”(Qur’ān 39:53).
Don’t be hopeless, Allah is with you. Allah is with us Alhamdulilah. This is the most important thing which nonbelievers don’t have. They think they can do everything by themselves. If anything happens to them, they become very sad and very bad. Many of them commit suicide or something to finish their lives. But in our belief Alhamdulilah, everything is from Allah and Allah rewards us for difficulties. For this, we are lucky. For every difficulty, there is reward. For this, those who are believers, strong believers, it is more easy for them to live. When belief becomes weaker, it becomes difficult for people to live and to carry these burdens. Because they think that by themselves they can do anything. Not knowing that everything happens by Allah’s will and is happening all the time. May Allah keep us safe.
May Allah keep you safe. Everybody: our children, daughters, sons, big, old, small, young people, may Allah and keep you safe. This time is a difficult time but we depend on Allah Insha Allah He protects us Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

AN OASIS FOR BELIEVERS Friday, 9 June 2023 / 20 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Mevlana Masjid, Toronto, Ontario – Canada.
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: ‘‘Innamā Ya`muru MasājidaAllāhi Man ‘Āmana Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-‘Ākhir’’(Qur’ān 09:18). ”The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day.’’ ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is praising people who are building mosques, Masjid, Jami’. These people believe in Allah and the next life, He said. Those who believe in this, Mu’min and Muslim, wherever they are going they are building a mosque to be light for people. Wherever they are going, they are light for people to come to Islam and for Muslims to keep their faith in this area. It is a very important thing.
And it’s important to be, as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, all places for Iman, not only Islam but Iman. It’s more important. Because who built this, built it by their Iman, their love for Islam. They are sincere Muslims. They are building by their efforts, not by bringing from outside, as many of these people are claiming. If they do so, it will not be good. The important thing is if you build this for the love of Allah, for the sake of Allah, Allah gives you a palace in Paradise and in Dunya also you’ll be more happy and more safe. This is a place for worshipping Allah, defending the truth, saying the truth for people: for believers or nonbelievers.
Page448
The first thing when our ancestors were going to some place, they were making a mosque, making a place for praying. They were even buying or sometimes people giving them. But most of them were building. And when they are building this, the first thing they were doing was building a place for Wudu’ (ablution), building a washroom. They were building a mosque with cleanliness. Not only to be clean but they also wanted who were building the mosque to be in ablution, in Wudu’. They must be in Wudu’ to build the mosque. For this, first before the mosque, they make a bathroom, a washroom, they make a place for Wudu’. Old Mu’mins, old believers have good thinking and good attributes. They were looking after everything, not wanting to miss anything from the rewards of Allah and for the sake of Allah blessings of Allah.
These were the people of old times whom we are following. We are following these people. Since Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until now, we have been following this. And after that, people who are claiming they are Islam are bringing money from the government and making a mosque by themselves. And who builds the mosque doesn’t know what he drank or if he was unclean. This is not important for them. And after that, they say, “These people are not in the right way. They are making Bid’ah, they are making Shirk.” I don’t know what we will say to these people. But unfortunately, many people are cheated by these people. We see many people thinking they are right. They are arguing with you, “What are you doing. What is this, what is that.” They don’t know many of the Sunnahs of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Even for this, they say that many of them are Shirk and many say Bid’ah. They are ignorant, but people are cheated by them. Because people don’t know anything about Islam. Just when they hear this, they think it is Islam and all these people are in the wrong way. How is it the wrong way when our ancestors: fathers, grand grand grandfathers were all in this way! If they were in the wrong way, there wouldn’t be Islam Alhamdulilah Islam will be. Millions and thousands like these people came and disappeared; not any name or anything for them. Once one wanted to be famous, he came in Hajj time for Zamzam. And to be
Page449
known, he urinated in Zamzam. People caught him and brought him to the governor. “Why did you do this?” He said, “For my name to be known forever.” For this, this man urinated in Zamzam but nobody knew him. They heard his story but nobody knows his name. They only remember this bad story. And this is an example for people who are the whole time urinating in Islam, in our belief, belief of people. They are destroying belief.
But Alhamdulilah we see many mosques built and owned by people who love Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, love Sahabah, love the four Khalifahs: Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman and Ali radiyaLlahu ‘anhum, love Ahlu l-Bayt and love Sahabah also. There are many many of these mosques everywhere.
Today we were also in a big mosque in Mississauga called Riyadu lJannah. They said from thirteen years or maybe fourteen years, they made the mosque. Alhamdulilah the people of this mosque are Ahlu sSunnah walJama’ah, real believers, real Mu’mins. Alhamdulilah all the time and today, they pray Jum’ah and many people are coming.
So these people who don’t believe in ‘Awliya and don’t believe in Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam will be finished. So don’t be anxious. Our way is to the right way, to Jannah Insha Allah; straight to Jannah.
“He wo is separate [from the community] will be separated in hell forever.” [Hadith]. Who goes out from the way will be going to Jahannam, to fire. Who is on the straight way, don’t be afraid, you will go as fast as you can. You’ll go. Don’t worry. Insha’Allah you are in Jannah.
Alhamdulilah today we are here also. They said it’s a small mosque and it won’t fit too much people. But Alhamdulilah maybe more than a hundred people are here and still there is place. May Allah make them make more and more Insha Allah.
Page450
Everywhere there must be mosques Insha Allah. Mawlana Sheikh was saying that we also need small mosques because it’s a place to teach and to come as Jama’ah. Maybe if you want to go to a big mosque, it is difficult to go from your house. But like this, in every small town you can find some mosque and you can go once or twice for Jama’ah or more, as much as you can. We are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla for what He gives us. Even if we are living in a difficult place and around all are nonbelievers, in a foreign country but this here is like an oasis. With the blessing of Allah and mercy of Allah for believers, when they come here, Allah by His blessing gives them mercy and gives them Rahmah Insha Allah.
May Allah bless you.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LOOK WITH EYES OF WISDOM Sunday, 11 June 2023 / 22 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vineland, Niagara – Canada.
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 are thanking Allah, Alhamdulilahwash-Shukrulilah for everything He gave us. Alhamdulilah with the Barakah and blessing from Allah, we visited this country [Canada] which Allah gave big beautiful lands and is rich in everything, especially water.
“Waja’alnā minal-mā’i kulli shay’in hayy’, “And We have made from water every living thing.’’(Qur’ān 21:30).
Water is a big Ni’mah for human beings. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla creates everything from water. For this, to have rivers means Allah gave a big favor for this land. Everything, Allah gives. We are thankful for Him for everything He gave us and the biggest favor, more than this, is our belief, Iman. We are thanking Him for this.
Alhamdulilah we are coming here for our brothers, our sons who are living in this country, to visit them. Because few of them met Mawlana Sheikh Nazim in his life. But after he changed his world, many of them are also seeing him in their dreams. Because he is still he has the most [strongest] spiritual power, Awliyau’Llah. In a hundred years there won’t come one like him. For this, he is still active. He is with us. Wherever we go, everything becomes better Insha Allah with his Barakah. I don’t know anything but when the permission came, we asked for
Page452
Madad and he gave Madad. And Alhamdulilah for one month we have been among you in this country, beautiful country.
Allah creates everything beautiful. Everything is a miracle of Allah Wherever you look, you find His beauty, His power, every good thing. If you look with eyes of wisdom, eyes of what Awliyau’Llah teach you, you see everything good and beautiful, nothing bad. Why? Because Allah wants this, He created this, we must accept everything of this. Some people are not accepting. Of course not everybody can be the same. There is a test in this world. Allah created people and put them on this earth:‘Li-yabluwakum ‘Ayyukum‘Aĥsanu‘Amalā’, “To test you [as to] which of you is best in deed.’’ (Qur’ān 67:02). To test them who is doing the best. Then, he is favored by Allah, beloved for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave everybody some understanding and gave mind to think. You must know the good, and you must know the bad. How do we know this? Through His messengers and prophets. They taught us about this. If we follow ourselves and follow people in asking what is good and what is not good, it will change. You cannot find the same good thing forever in the rule of human beings. Before 20 years, it was different and now it’s different. Before 50 years, it was more different than 20 years ago. From 100 years, it was completely different from now. For this, you cannot follow what human beings do. Because they are doing something, they are trying and after trying [they say], “This is not good” and they are changing. They are not changing for the better. Most of the times it looks like the better, but in reality it is worse. Every time becoming worse and worse and worse. For this, the right thing is what prophets have told us through holy books, heavenly books. And the true one that didn’t change is Qur’an Azimush-Shan. Since more than one thousand one hundred years, nothing changed in the Qur’an. The others: too much changed inside it. Some of them changed things, some of them hid them, some of them took out what they don’t like. But the real one is the Qur’an.All were nearly the same because Allah’s religion is one. Everything was coming better and better and better. And the best for human beings is in the Qur’an. And Prophet sal-
Page453
laLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam explained that through his life and his actions as Sayyidatina‘Aisha Ummu l-Mu’minin (Mother of the Believers), the wife of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam reported. She was a scholar also. They were asking her about many things in Fiqh and Hadith. They asked her, “How was Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam?” She said, “He was like the Qur’an.” Following what the Qur’an says, explaining what the Qur’an says. For this, to follow the Sunnah is obligatory for us.
Now the new fashion, people come and say, “Hadith is not good. We cannot believe in Hadith, only Qur’an.” How will you know, how will you explain the Qur’an! You must see some example in front of you on how to do this. And this is through the Hadith: the Hadith, Sunnah, sayings of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and actions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is the religion, our religion, the rule for human beings through the sayings of Allah through Qur’an and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Who follows this will be a winner all the time. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in Hadith, you must catch onto my Sunnah and Qur’an and follow Ahlu l-Bayt, you will never be a loser. You must follow these three things, you will be safe. Safe from where? From Dunya. Dunya is not important. What’s important is Akhirah. To go out from this Dunya in Iman, in this belief, you will be the (most) happiest one, more than if the whole world is with you and you don’t have this, you will be a loser. But with this, if you don’t have anything from Dunya but you have this, it is enough for you to be a winner.
This is for what we are saying about human beings, humanity. Now they are making very bad things. Every day they are making laws against the rule of Allah. What does it mean against the rule of Allah? It means you are making against the nature of human beings. Because Islam is the religion of the nature of human beings: Dinu l-Fitrah. Fitrah means: when the baby comes to the world, he is directly drinking milk from his mother. How does he know this? Allah gave him this. So as he is taking milk from his mother, how he is walking, how he is speaking; all of this is the nature of human beings. Allah gave human beings a
Page454
speciality in everything, they must follow it. Others are trying to change what Allah created. And every time they change, they are making more misery, more bad things for people.
They think I don’t know if they think they are doing good. I doubt this also in these people. They are saying, “You must give freedom for everybody to do what they like.” How is this! If everybody does his freedom, it will be a disaster. There must be some limit for some things. You can’t say freedom for everything. Everybody is of course free but freedom must be through the rule of Allah There is Haram, there is Halal. This is the border. When you go for Haram, you will not be more happy, you will be more worse. In everything, you will be worse; in your health, in your psyche, in your relationship with others. You won’t be a beloved one for people. People will be afraid from you or away from you.
For this, to be good with yourself first, you must follow Allah ‘Azza waJalla’s rule. Because you control yourself, you train yourself to be an accepted one. Because if you are only selfish and you only think about yourself, nobody likes selfish ones. Even anyone of the people who are claiming they are humanists, they are this, they are that: nobody likes selfish people. But what they are doing is that they are creating whole [completely] selfish people, not thinking about another thing, about the next generation, about earth, about the world. They are not thinking. They are only thinking about themselves and their pleasure. And they think this pleasure will be good for them.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in Dunya this is also a secret, many people don’t know this the pleasure or happiness is not the whole time. You cannot find it the whole time. Allah gave very little. If you are in the way of Allah, this little happiness is enough for you. But when these people think that with what they are doing there’s happiness for them and they will be the whole time happy, they will finish their happiness in five minutes after that they will be miserable. Their whole life, they will be miserable. And from this situation, they are attacking other people also. They want
Page455
to make the whole society like them because they regret that. But they cannot do anything because they are not looking for someone to save them or they don’t want to survive. They are making more sins, more wrong things and more bad things for themselves and nothing happens.
But the most important is for people not to think that when these people show off that they are happy, they are. They are as we said: happiness not for a hundred percent. Maybe five percent only do they have happiness in this world. But for the Mu’min it is enough, more than enough. For non-Mu’mins, they try to make more and more in every kind: drinking, smoking and making other bad things. They think that with this they can be happy. Never. Allah doesn’t like who is not in the way, not obeying His order. And when Allah doesn’t love him, they cannot be happy at all. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t love this Kufr attribute of bad people. Their attribute makes them to not be beloved for Allah.
But normally, Allah created human beings the best and honored them.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”WaLaqad Karramnā Banī ‘Ādam”“And We have certainly honored the children of Adam.’’ (Qur’ān 17:70). Allah said, We honored human beings. But when they are making sins, because of their action, this action makes them to not be beloved ones for Allah. They must leave this, and Allah accepts them. He is the Most Merciful. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Inna Allāha YaghfiruAdhDhunūba Jamī`āan”,“Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.” (Qur’ān 39:53).
Allah forgives everything that’s done. Don’t be hopeless. If you want Allah to love you, leave this bad action, you will be clean. This is very important. And Islam is also like this.
“Al-Islam Yajubbu Ma Qablahu”, “Islam effaces previous“ misdeeds.” When one becomes Mu’min, Muslim, all these sins, Allah forgives them; no more sins. So this bad action, bad habits and what they are doing are like dirt on them.When they accept Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and His rule, all this dirt will become finished, going out from them; no
Page456
more.Many people are not knowing this. Shaytan doesn’t let them to hear about this. But it is the reality. For the happiness of human beings, they must obey their Lord, accept Him and not be away from Him. When you run away, you will not find mercy. As much as you go away from the good thing, going to the bad thing, you are going from water to fire. This is the summary of that. May Allah help them insha’Allah to find the right way. And may Allah keep us and our children from bad actions, from our egos, to not be selfish. Selfishness is the worst thing in Tarīqah and in Shari’ah also.

TEMPORARY BEAUTY WITHOUT IMAN Wednesday, 14 June 2023 / 25 Dhul Qa’dah 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: “Aṭiū’Llāha waaṭiū’ r-Rasūla wa Ūli l‘Amri minkum’’ (Qur’ān 04:59). “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.’’
This is the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We heard this order many times from Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah ad-Daghestani. He was repeating it many times. From Mawlana Sheikh, not so much. But from Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah ad-Daghestani, we heard this many many times.
Which means obey Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, obey Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and obey your ruler. What they order for the benefit of people, you must obey. Ofcourse if it is not against the order of Allah. First is the order of Allah: you pray and fast. If they are not saying anything about this, it’s ok. Other things, some of them if they are not obliging you to do sin or to do something against the order of Allah, you must obey them. If they are not touching you and not doing anything, you obey. But if they are ordering you [against Allah’s order], there’s no need of course to obey them. Because everything in this life, Allah gave us. So the first One to obey is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and of course Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. His order is the same, not against the order of Allah. There were many tyrants coming through history. They were all making unacceptable things. So Allah sent
Page438
prophets for them to advise them not to do this and to obey the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Many of these people came and you hear about these people in history and holy books. Their order was against the order of Allah.
All of them are gone and Allah is still as He was and He is. Nothing changes from Allah. Everything changes, only Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not change.
This means everything changes, everything, nothing stays the same in this existence, only the real one Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Lord. Nothing is like Him and no one can imagine Him. You cannot say, “Like this, like that.” Allah is as He was,Mawlana Sheikh asked for this [to be written] and it was written in the Dergah like this.
Sowe are here for obeying the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for understanding the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Sayyidina ‘Isa ‘alayhi ssalam whom these crazy people claim is god – They said for pagan people, “You are worshiping many gods. We are worshiping only one.” After that, they said three [trinity]. ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam said to Jewish people, “O Jewish people, follow me to understand Musa ‘alayhi s-salam. If you follow yourself, you will not understand.” And Sayyidina Muhammad sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said to the Jews and Christians, “Follow me to understand Musa ‘alayhi s-salam and ‘Isa ‘alayhi ssalam.” Because he is the real successor. He is the real one. Each prophet was saying to his nation like this, “Follow me to understand the prophethood before. I will tell you about him.” Each one was like this because all are one. There is no difference between them.
They are teaching people about what they don’t understand about their religion and about their prophets. They were quickly changing and following not prophets but their ego and what they like. Because real Christianity is like Judaism: they cannot eat pork. After this, one came and said by himself, “Ok I let you. You can eat this.” He changed many things. He put the trinity and put everything. And they were happy
Page439
with this, because they were before worshiping idols also, many gods. So when he said like this, they were following him. This is the habit of human beings. To follow what their ego likes, what their ego is happy with. It seems easy for them to do so, but in reality it is not easy. It is only easy for their body, for enjoying. But after this, the are destroying their body. And their spirituality is completely destroyed.
Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying to these people, “Come to me to understand your prophet, your religion. I explain and if you come sincerely, you will accept this. If not, you will not come.” And many of them didn’t come. Until now, they are against; sometimes openly and sometimes not. In old times, they were doing this openly. They wanted to destroy what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying and his way. But these days, they are doing as if they are showing humanity, and showing Islam against humanity.
“Islam Dinu l-Fitrah.”Islam is the religion of the nature of human beings“Allah created everyone with his nature; man man, woman woman, animal animal, tree tree. Allah created everything perfect. After that, they are tricking people to destroy human beings and humanity. Islam praises human beings. The most [important] thing in Islam is to praise human beings. Anything they do from wrong or sin before Islam, when they accept Islam, Allah forgives all of this. They begin from zero; no sin, nothing. Is there any rule in the world that can do this! If you do something and you accept something you will be forgiven! There’s nothing. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows the hearts of people. For this, with His mercy He forgives everything before Islam.
They are showing Islam as very difficult but no. It is just two words: La ilahailla Allah, Muhammadun Rasulu Allah. After this, you become Muslim. It’s nothing. But even with this, they are making it too difficult, not accepting. Many times, people try to say this; “Okay just say this and you’ll be forgiven”, they are not saying this. Because the ego and shaytan are very strong. They are not letting them accept this. But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not in need of these people. These people think they
Page440
are something and they are controlling everything. But in the end of life, they control nothing. They know this. In the end of life, they give up everything and just go without anything.
Now they made a new fashion, here I think, they said not much people cremate themselves. They ask to be cremated. And this is also big ‘Azab, punishment. Because Islam, as we said, is the religion of the nature. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows what human beings are. We believe that when somebody dies, only his soul leaves but some of his body [organs] are still functioning; he is hearing and feeling also. Researchers in western countries were researching about this and they accepted this. In the mind, there is still something. Still nails falling, hair falling. They even said that when they are washing a dead body, he feels if the water is cold or hot. How are they saying there’s nothing and they are burning people in fire! They are really terrible! And after that they say we are humanists and Islam is against humanity. This is a ridiculous thing!
These people, Allah gave them everything, Allah gave them very good Ni’mah, very good land, very good country, richness, but they don’t have the most valuable thing we need: it is Iman, belief, belief in the oneness of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. And when they accept only this: the oneness of Allah, they will be safe. If they don’t accept, they are free. There is ‘democracy’ they say. They are going and bringing democracy to everywhere in the world. And they are making everything upside down; millions of hungry people, millions of refugees. After that, they are complaining, “Refugees are coming here, coming there.” Millions of people died by themselves, against themselves. This is the democracy. They are happy with this. And “Islam is not good” they say. There must be something in their heads because they have too much weed [Mawlana laughs]. Sub Han Allah there’s one joke they say they are sinking; sinking instead of thinking. One sheep was in the sea and there was a storm so it was asking for help. They said to the Egyptians, “We are sinking, we are sinking”. [Egyptians pronounce sinking instead of thinking]. Egyptians don’t saying thinking so they said, “About what? They are sinking about what?”
Page441
Insha Allah may Allah give good understanding. May Allah give them Iman. Because they are good people but shaytan is happy with them. He doesn’t need to do too much with them, they are [already] in this way. But we also want goodness for everyone from human beings, to rise, to be human, not to be less than human.
May Allah help us. May Allah help you here also Sheikh Ali and others. They are all trying to keep their children, at least to keep our children. It is also a very big mission for us. Because between these people, they [children] are also cheated by these people and think Islam is nothing. Civilization was coming through Islam. The highest civilization came though Islam. When Islam came, in Europe they were living like animals, everything was very bad. They were even treating women [badly] and they weren’t accepting them as human beings. Islam brought light to the world. So our people, our children must know they are in the highest station of civilization. Whoever follows this, his ranks goesup. Whoever follows the other side, he becomes as they were before: less than animals.
May Allah forgive us. May Allah help us Insha Allah.

LOVE THE FOUR CALIPHS Thursday, 8 June 2023 / 19 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Mississauga, Canada.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wakhayru fil jamiyya.
Alhamdulilah everybody knows we are Muslim people Insha Allah and Mu’min people also Insha Allah. We are trying to be good ones Insha Allah. This is our aim: to be good people, an example for others as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is an example for us. We are also trying to imitate him. For this, everything our Prophet does: we know some of them but most of them we don’t know. The Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allah rewards who does the Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allah rewards him because he imitates Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Allah loves Him and orders to follow Him for Allah to love you. How does Allah love us? With following Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wasallam, following his way which is coming through Sahabah and through the four Khalifah (Caliphs) who were giving good tidings about Jannah. There are some people who think that if they love one, it is enough. No, it’s not enough. If you love one only, nobody loves you , Prophet doesn’t love you. And when Prophet doesn’t love somebody, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t love him.
This is very important. Not to mix bad ideas in this pure way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because when you say, “I don’t love three of the Khalifahs of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam” you are saying
Page443
that our Prophetdoesn’t know anything. What is this ridiculousness! What is this foolishness! People think that if they love Sayyidina‘Ali, they must hate the others. Sayyidina‘Ali was the most loved one for these three people. They were relatives. They took the daughters and sisters of each other [in marriage]. They are not enemies! You are coming after a thousand years making enmity and you think you are something! You are wrong! Completely wrong! You don’t have Adab! You don’t have good behavior! You don’t even have manners if you say this! Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves them all and you say, “I don’t love them.” This is not acceptable at all!
Tariqah people are Alhamdulilah Naqshbandi. We are Naqshbandi people who are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. The most strongly holding of his way, his Sunnah, his deeds, his sayings are the Naqshbandi Alhamdulilah. Of course, other Tariqahs also: Qadiri, Rifai, Chishti, Dusuqi, Shadhili, Tijani. All these Tariqahs are also Haqq Tariqahs. All 41 Tariqahs that are Haqq are in this way. Who are out of this way, don’t look at them! Don’t listen to them! Say, “You are ignorant! Go and learn about Prophet, about whom Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam loves and doesn’t love.” You must know this. Don’t make your ego to be happy, “Maybe people will follow me.” If they follow you, you take them to Jahannam only, not anywhere else.
This is the way of love. Islam is peace, love. Many people now say, “Love, Love” but it is not love. It is hypocrite love. The real love is Islam: loving everybody, loving Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. But others who say, “I love this, I hate this.” This is a no. This means there is no love there, there is hate. There cannot be hate and love together. All the companions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam: he loves them. And he doesn’t want anybody to say anything against these holy people whom he said about: “They are like the stars. If you follow any of them, you will be in the right way. If you don’t follow any of them, you will be out of the way.” There are many, also these Salafi people, these crazy people say, “There is no Madhhab. The Sahabah don’t have Madhhab.” Each Sahabah is a Madhhab, because you are following them. Prophet sal-
Page444
laLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that they saw Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and they are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. But they didn’t write, they didn’t continue this Madhhab. Only after nearly a 100 years, they began because many Sahabah after 80 years, most of them passed away and their way finished; no more Madhhab from Sahabah. The Madhhab came slowly slowly [after]. There was also many Madhhabs before the four Madhhabs. But also when there were no followers left, they became only four Madhhabs. Those which Ahlu s-Sunnah walJama’ah, especially Tariqah people must follow one of them. You cannot say, “I am out of this.” There is no fifth Madhhab; only four. Who is out of these, don’t follow them. Because they don’t have love, they only have hate.
So for this, there is only four Madhhabs for Ahlu s-Sunnah walJama’ah. Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam praised them and said to be with them. He said, “The Ummah will be divided into 73 groups. All of them are not right but one is.” The Sahabah asked, “Which one?” He said, “The majority.” The majority is these four Madhhabs. They accept each other and they are not against each other. For this, this is mercy for the Ummah: to follow one of these Madhhabs. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made it easy for people to follow. Each country, each people have a Madhhab suitable for them. As Madhhab Maliki is for African people or some people, so it will be easy for their dressing and other. For Hanafi, there is easiness [for them]. For Shafi’i another easiness for them. And Hanbali also. Each people must follow what is easy for them.
They cannot say, “I am looking only from Qur’an and from Hadith.” What do you understand from Qur’an and from Hadith! Nobody understands. To understand from Hadith and Qur’an, you must read for at least 20-25 years to understand. So everybody cannot be ‘Alim and cannot do this. We already have Alhamdulilah, these big Imam, Imam of Tariqah, Imam of four Madhhab. They are not like the ‘Alims of our time. They are incredible. You cannot imagine how very clever they were, how Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave them the knowledge! They wrote books even if somebody told them
Page445
[these people] what to write, in 100 years they cannot write them. They wrote and gave examples and solutions for everything. Alhamdulilah this is from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s mercy and a gift for us. Since more than twelve hundred years people have been following this Alhamdulilah.
So people, Tariqah people must be respectful of all of this. Because in this time, there is this machine everybody is looking at telephones and machines. This one who doesn’t know how to wash himself is coming and giving Fatwas against Imams and against the four Khulafa’ (Caliphs), and people are watching. This is not acceptable at all! Don’t look at these people! Don’t watch them! Don’t give any attention for these people! These people are making your belief weak, making you away from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, making your Iman weak. When your Imam is weak, in the end you will be without Iman. This is a very dangerous thing.
May Allah give us real Iman and real knowledge. It is very important. We are living also here or anywhere, now it is controlled by shaytan. This is the summary in short. Everywhere in the world, shaytan is controlling. Maybe here, nonbelievers of course can do anything. But don’t think that in your country also, they are not controlling. They are controlling everywhere, and maybe more than here. They are destroying the belief of people and only making them look for their pleasure, to make their ego bigger and bigger. Especially these people who like people to watch them and listen to them.
Allah knows best, as Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam told us, we are in the time of Akhiru z-Zaman, end of times. This is exactly what Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam said. Prophecy means to say what will happen later. Everything Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam said, one by one, has been happening since his time until now. And now looks like it is the end of times. Because as we said, shaytan is controlling everything in this world. But his kingdom is not forever; it will finish Insha Allah.
Page446
So for this, we are not hopeless. We are hopeful. Hopeless are those who don’t believe in Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:LāTaqnatū Min RaĥmatiAllāhi’,“Do not despair of the mercy of Allah.”(Qur’ān 39:53).
Don’t be hopeless, Allah is with you. Allah is with us Alhamdulilah. This is the most important thing which nonbelievers don’t have. They think they can do everything by themselves. If anything happens to them, they become very sad and very bad. Many of them commit suicide or something to finish their lives. But in our belief Alhamdulilah, everything is from Allah and Allah rewards us for difficulties. For this, we are lucky. For every difficulty, there is reward. For this, those who are believers, strong believers, it is more easy for them to live. When belief becomes weaker, it becomes difficult for people to live and to carry these burdens. Because they think that by themselves they can do anything. Not knowing that everything happens by Allah’s will and is happening all the time. May Allah keep us safe.
May Allah keep you safe. Everybody: our children, daughters, sons, big, old, small, young people, may Allah and keep you safe. This time is a difficult time but we depend on Allah Insha Allah He protects us Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

AN OASIS FOR BELIEVERS Friday, 9 June 2023 / 20 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Mevlana Masjid, Toronto, Ontario – Canada.
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: ‘‘Innamā Ya`muru MasājidaAllāhi Man ‘Āmana Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-‘Ākhir’’(Qur’ān 09:18). ”The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day.’’ ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is praising people who are building mosques, Masjid, Jami’. These people believe in Allah and the next life, He said. Those who believe in this, Mu’min and Muslim, wherever they are going they are building a mosque to be light for people. Wherever they are going, they are light for people to come to Islam and for Muslims to keep their faith in this area. It is a very important thing.
And it’s important to be, as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, all places for Iman, not only Islam but Iman. It’s more important. Because who built this, built it by their Iman, their love for Islam. They are sincere Muslims. They are building by their efforts, not by bringing from outside, as many of these people are claiming. If they do so, it will not be good. The important thing is if you build this for the love of Allah, for the sake of Allah, Allah gives you a palace in Paradise and in Dunya also you’ll be more happy and more safe. This is a place for worshipping Allah, defending the truth, saying the truth for people: for believers or nonbelievers.
Page448
The first thing when our ancestors were going to some place, they were making a mosque, making a place for praying. They were even buying or sometimes people giving them. But most of them were building. And when they are building this, the first thing they were doing was building a place for Wudu’ (ablution), building a washroom. They were building a mosque with cleanliness. Not only to be clean but they also wanted who were building the mosque to be in ablution, in Wudu’. They must be in Wudu’ to build the mosque. For this, first before the mosque, they make a bathroom, a washroom, they make a place for Wudu’. Old Mu’mins, old believers have good thinking and good attributes. They were looking after everything, not wanting to miss anything from the rewards of Allah and for the sake of Allah blessings of Allah.
These were the people of old times whom we are following. We are following these people. Since Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until now, we have been following this. And after that, people who are claiming they are Islam are bringing money from the government and making a mosque by themselves. And who builds the mosque doesn’t know what he drank or if he was unclean. This is not important for them. And after that, they say, “These people are not in the right way. They are making Bid’ah, they are making Shirk.” I don’t know what we will say to these people. But unfortunately, many people are cheated by these people. We see many people thinking they are right. They are arguing with you, “What are you doing. What is this, what is that.” They don’t know many of the Sunnahs of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Even for this, they say that many of them are Shirk and many say Bid’ah. They are ignorant, but people are cheated by them. Because people don’t know anything about Islam. Just when they hear this, they think it is Islam and all these people are in the wrong way. How is it the wrong way when our ancestors: fathers, grand grand grandfathers were all in this way! If they were in the wrong way, there wouldn’t be Islam Alhamdulilah Islam will be. Millions and thousands like these people came and disappeared; not any name or anything for them. Once one wanted to be famous, he came in Hajj time for Zamzam. And to be
Page449
known, he urinated in Zamzam. People caught him and brought him to the governor. “Why did you do this?” He said, “For my name to be known forever.” For this, this man urinated in Zamzam but nobody knew him. They heard his story but nobody knows his name. They only remember this bad story. And this is an example for people who are the whole time urinating in Islam, in our belief, belief of people. They are destroying belief.
But Alhamdulilah we see many mosques built and owned by people who love Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, love Sahabah, love the four Khalifahs: Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman and Ali radiyaLlahu ‘anhum, love Ahlu l-Bayt and love Sahabah also. There are many many of these mosques everywhere.
Today we were also in a big mosque in Mississauga called Riyadu lJannah. They said from thirteen years or maybe fourteen years, they made the mosque. Alhamdulilah the people of this mosque are Ahlu sSunnah walJama’ah, real believers, real Mu’mins. Alhamdulilah all the time and today, they pray Jum’ah and many people are coming.
So these people who don’t believe in ‘Awliya and don’t believe in Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam will be finished. So don’t be anxious. Our way is to the right way, to Jannah Insha Allah; straight to Jannah.
“He wo is separate [from the community] will be separated in hell forever.” [Hadith]. Who goes out from the way will be going to Jahannam, to fire. Who is on the straight way, don’t be afraid, you will go as fast as you can. You’ll go. Don’t worry. Insha’Allah you are in Jannah.
Alhamdulilah today we are here also. They said it’s a small mosque and it won’t fit too much people. But Alhamdulilah maybe more than a hundred people are here and still there is place. May Allah make them make more and more Insha Allah.

Everywhere there must be mosques Insha Allah. Mawlana Sheikh was saying that we also need small mosques because it’s a place to teach and to come as Jama’ah. Maybe if you want to go to a big mosque, it is difficult to go from your house. But like this, in every small town you can find some mosque and you can go once or twice for Jama’ah or more, as much as you can. We are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla for what He gives us. Even if we are living in a difficult place and around all are nonbelievers, in a foreign country but this here is like an oasis. With the blessing of Allah and mercy of Allah for believers, when they come here, Allah by His blessing gives them mercy and gives them Rahmah Insha Allah.
May Allah bless you.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LOOK WITH EYES OF WISDOM Sunday, 11 June 2023 / 22 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vineland, Niagara – Canada.
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 are thanking Allah, Alhamdulilahwash-Shukrulilah for everything He gave us. Alhamdulilah with the Barakah and blessing from Allah, we visited this country [Canada] which Allah gave big beautiful lands and is rich in everything, especially water.
“Waja’alnā minal-mā’i kulli shay’in hayy’, “And We have made from water every living thing.’’(Qur’ān 21:30).
Water is a big Ni’mah for human beings. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla creates everything from water. For this, to have rivers means Allah gave a big favor for this land. Everything, Allah gives. We are thankful for Him for everything He gave us and the biggest favor, more than this, is our belief, Iman. We are thanking Him for this.
Alhamdulilah we are coming here for our brothers, our sons who are living in this country, to visit them. Because few of them met Mawlana Sheikh Nazim in his life. But after he changed his world, many of them are also seeing him in their dreams. Because he is still he has the most [strongest] spiritual power, Awliyau’Llah. In a hundred years there won’t come one like him. For this, he is still active. He is with us. Wherever we go, everything becomes better Insha Allah with his Barakah. I don’t know anything but when the permission came, we asked for
Page452
Madad and he gave Madad. And Alhamdulilah for one month we have been among you in this country, beautiful country.
Allah creates everything beautiful. Everything is a miracle of Allah Wherever you look, you find His beauty, His power, every good thing. If you look with eyes of wisdom, eyes of what Awliyau’Llah teach you, you see everything good and beautiful, nothing bad. Why? Because Allah wants this, He created this, we must accept everything of this. Some people are not accepting. Of course not everybody can be the same. There is a test in this world. Allah created people and put them on this earth:‘Li-yabluwakum ‘Ayyukum‘Aĥsanu‘Amalā’, “To test you [as to] which of you is best in deed.’’ (Qur’ān 67:02). To test them who is doing the best. Then, he is favored by Allah, beloved for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave everybody some understanding and gave mind to think. You must know the good, and you must know the bad. How do we know this? Through His messengers and prophets. They taught us about this. If we follow ourselves and follow people in asking what is good and what is not good, it will change. You cannot find the same good thing forever in the rule of human beings. Before 20 years, it was different and now it’s different. Before 50 years, it was more different than 20 years ago. From 100 years, it was completely different from now. For this, you cannot follow what human beings do. Because they are doing something, they are trying and after trying [they say], “This is not good” and they are changing. They are not changing for the better. Most of the times it looks like the better, but in reality it is worse. Every time becoming worse and worse and worse. For this, the right thing is what prophets have told us through holy books, heavenly books. And the true one that didn’t change is Qur’an Azimush-Shan. Since more than one thousand one hundred years, nothing changed in the Qur’an. The others: too much changed inside it. Some of them changed things, some of them hid them, some of them took out what they don’t like. But the real one is the Qur’an.All were nearly the same because Allah’s religion is one. Everything was coming better and better and better. And the best for human beings is in the Qur’an. And Prophet sal-
Page453
laLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam explained that through his life and his actions as Sayyidatina‘Aisha Ummu l-Mu’minin (Mother of the Believers), the wife of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam reported. She was a scholar also. They were asking her about many things in Fiqh and Hadith. They asked her, “How was Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam?” She said, “He was like the Qur’an.” Following what the Qur’an says, explaining what the Qur’an says. For this, to follow the Sunnah is obligatory for us.
Now the new fashion, people come and say, “Hadith is not good. We cannot believe in Hadith, only Qur’an.” How will you know, how will you explain the Qur’an! You must see some example in front of you on how to do this. And this is through the Hadith: the Hadith, Sunnah, sayings of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and actions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is the religion, our religion, the rule for human beings through the sayings of Allah through Qur’an and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Who follows this will be a winner all the time. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in Hadith, you must catch onto my Sunnah and Qur’an and follow Ahlu l-Bayt, you will never be a loser. You must follow these three things, you will be safe. Safe from where? From Dunya. Dunya is not important. What’s important is Akhirah. To go out from this Dunya in Iman, in this belief, you will be the (most) happiest one, more than if the whole world is with you and you don’t have this, you will be a loser. But with this, if you don’t have anything from Dunya but you have this, it is enough for you to be a winner.
This is for what we are saying about human beings, humanity. Now they are making very bad things. Every day they are making laws against the rule of Allah. What does it mean against the rule of Allah? It means you are making against the nature of human beings. Because Islam is the religion of the nature of human beings: Dinu l-Fitrah. Fitrah means: when the baby comes to the world, he is directly drinking milk from his mother. How does he know this? Allah gave him this. So as he is taking milk from his mother, how he is walking, how he is speaking; all of this is the nature of human beings. Allah gave human beings a
Page454
speciality in everything, they must follow it. Others are trying to change what Allah created. And every time they change, they are making more misery, more bad things for people.
They think I don’t know if they think they are doing good. I doubt this also in these people. They are saying, “You must give freedom for everybody to do what they like.” How is this! If everybody does his freedom, it will be a disaster. There must be some limit for some things. You can’t say freedom for everything. Everybody is of course free but freedom must be through the rule of Allah There is Haram, there is Halal. This is the border. When you go for Haram, you will not be more happy, you will be more worse. In everything, you will be worse; in your health, in your psyche, in your relationship with others. You won’t be a beloved one for people. People will be afraid from you or away from you.
For this, to be good with yourself first, you must follow Allah ‘Azza waJalla’s rule. Because you control yourself, you train yourself to be an accepted one. Because if you are only selfish and you only think about yourself, nobody likes selfish ones. Even anyone of the people who are claiming they are humanists, they are this, they are that: nobody likes selfish people. But what they are doing is that they are creating whole [completely] selfish people, not thinking about another thing, about the next generation, about earth, about the world. They are not thinking. They are only thinking about themselves and their pleasure. And they think this pleasure will be good for them.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in Dunya this is also a secret, many people don’t know this the pleasure or happiness is not the whole time. You cannot find it the whole time. Allah gave very little. If you are in the way of Allah, this little happiness is enough for you. But when these people think that with what they are doing there’s happiness for them and they will be the whole time happy, they will finish their happiness in five minutes after that they will be miserable. Their whole life, they will be miserable. And from this situation, they are attacking other people also. They want
Page455
to make the whole society like them because they regret that. But they cannot do anything because they are not looking for someone to save them or they don’t want to survive. They are making more sins, more wrong things and more bad things for themselves and nothing happens.
But the most important is for people not to think that when these people show off that they are happy, they are. They are as we said: happiness not for a hundred percent. Maybe five percent only do they have happiness in this world. But for the Mu’min it is enough, more than enough. For non-Mu’mins, they try to make more and more in every kind: drinking, smoking and making other bad things. They think that with this they can be happy. Never. Allah doesn’t like who is not in the way, not obeying His order. And when Allah doesn’t love him, they cannot be happy at all. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t love this Kufr attribute of bad people. Their attribute makes them to not be beloved for Allah.
But normally, Allah created human beings the best and honored them.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ”WaLaqad Karramnā Banī ‘Ādam”“And We have certainly honored the children of Adam.’’ (Qur’ān 17:70). Allah said, We honored human beings. But when they are making sins, because of their action, this action makes them to not be beloved ones for Allah. They must leave this, and Allah accepts them. He is the Most Merciful. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Inna Allāha YaghfiruAdhDhunūba Jamī`āan”,“Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.” (Qur’ān 39:53).
Allah forgives everything that’s done. Don’t be hopeless. If you want Allah to love you, leave this bad action, you will be clean. This is very important. And Islam is also like this.
“Al-Islam Yajubbu Ma Qablahu”, “Islam effaces previous“ misdeeds.” When one becomes Mu’min, Muslim, all these sins, Allah forgives them; no more sins. So this bad action, bad habits and what they are doing are like dirt on them.When they accept Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and His rule, all this dirt will become finished, going out from them; no
Page456
more.Many people are not knowing this. Shaytan doesn’t let them to hear about this. But it is the reality. For the happiness of human beings, they must obey their Lord, accept Him and not be away from Him. When you run away, you will not find mercy. As much as you go away from the good thing, going to the bad thing, you are going from water to fire. This is the summary of that. May Allah help them insha’Allah to find the right way. And may Allah keep us and our children from bad actions, from our egos, to not be selfish. Selfishness is the worst thing in Tarīqah and in Shari’ah also.
