Suhbah 2023: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (375 suhbah, 886 pages, 28/50)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=8411
Allah ‘Azza waJalla is saying in the Qur’an that we have a good example from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You must follow him. He was following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam exactly. And he is for us also a good example. We must follow him; not going out of his way.
As we said, his Murids are from the poorest one to the richest one. Every one, Sheikh Bahauddin says every time, is very precious. All of you are very precious for him. He doesn’t want anybody to disturb you or do what Mawlana was not happy with for you. If you want to ask something, ask from Allah don’t ask from poor people. His treasures are endless. He is not afraid for them to finish. Here [Dunya], the (most) richest one: as much as they become rich, they become stingy. They are afraid to give. So ask from Whose treasures are endless and don’t finish. Ask from Him. You must believe in this. Many people say, “O I depended on Allah and nothing happened. I am still poor. I still have no money.” These people are testing Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. From the beginning, they are losers. With not even one step, they are finished. Who has belief, even if he dies from hunger, he must believe Allah is Razzaq. If he has something from provision for him, it will come. If not, nothing will come to him. Shaqīq al-Balkhī says that he was trading. He was going to trade in his youth in Central Asia, maybe in Turkistan. Some nonbeliever saw him, “What are you doing?” “I am trading.” He said, “If you are a believer, you must believe that anywhere [you are] Allah sends you your provision. If you are not a believer, you don’t say, ‘I am this, I am that’.” Insha Allah to make Mawlana Sheikh Nazim, Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani, our Prophet and Allah ‘Azza wa-Jallahappy, you must try to follow your Sheikh Insha Allah. Because
Page399
people are not understanding: with miracle wisdom, all the Sohbahs of Grand Sheikh disappeared. Nothing was left, only what Mawlana Sheikh Nazim has. Of course, he wrote many Sohbahs: 7,000 Sohbah. But what’s most important is what’s in his heart, what they have given him. Alhamdulilah he was Khalifah for 41 years, after Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah. Many books, many CDs, videos and audios – there are thousands and thousands – each one has endless wisdom. People are still happy from east to west from these which they hear.
May Allah make us be strongly on this way. Alhamdulilah I see here many people have their children, their sons, their daughters; they are in this way. This is important also. To be all together. The utmost happiness for man or woman is to be with their family in the right way. We are, Insha Allah may Allah keep them safe, because we are waiting for what Mawlana Sheikh Nazim was saying about the end of times. It is a very difficult time for believers to say the truth. We cannot say everything because this Fitnah is coming more and more. Insha’Allah if all together, it will be easy; nothing happens Insha Allah to you.
Mawlana Sheikh was his whole life waiting for Mahdi alayhi s-salam. He said, “I waited in the evening, if not then in the morning. I waited 60 years for Mahdi alayhi s-salam.” And we are on his way. We are waiting for Mahdi alayhi ssalam. This time is getting really – everything of what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying and what Mawlana Sheikh is saying has reached the peak. Every bad thing, every bad action has reached its peak in the world; everywhere, not here only, everywhere.
When Mawlana Sheikh was speaking about Mahdi alayhi s-salam, many people were not accepting or had some doubt about Mahdi alayhi s-salam. And I was wondering when these people were not happy with what Mawlana Sheikh is saying about Mahdi, “Why is he speaking about Mahdi? If he speaks about another thing, more people will be following Mawlana.” After that, Alhamdulilah an inspiration came from Mawlana: he is in the Maqam of Sayyidina Nuh ‘alayhi s-salam. Because
Page400
Sayyidina Nuh ‘alayhi s-salam was far away from the seaside maybe a thousand miles or a thousand kilometers; no sea, nothing. And he was trying, building this ark ship. People were coming to him asking him, “What are you doing?” He said, “I am building a ship.” They said, “This man is crazy.” They were laughing at him and he was doing this for maybe more than 100 years or 200 years until he completed it. During all this time, people were laughing at him, accusing him of craziness. But in the end, you saw what happened.
So for everything there is a time. When the time comes, who is denying and not accepting this will be regretful. During Mawlana’s life, some of the ‘Ulama (scholars) weren’t happy with him, and were saying something not good. But after Mawlana passed away, they all regretted that and came asking for forgiveness. They said, “We couldn’t ask forgiveness from him, please, we are sorry. Accept our forgiveness on behalf of Mawlana.”
AlhamdulilahInsha Allah we love him, and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “You will be with whom you love.” And we are sure Insha Allah that we will meet him in Paradise and we will be forever with him. May Allah make you more and more people Hidayah (guidance) for these people.
These people are Maa Sha Allah good people, the people of Canada. Insha Allah may Allah give them Hidayah and give them this happiness and for all people Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

AN ADVICE TO BE THANKFUL Monday, 28 May 2023 / 8 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vincent Massey Park – Ottawa, 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “La‘inShakartum La‘azīdannakum, WaLa‘in Kafartum ‘Inna ‘Adhābī Lashadīd”,(Qur’ān 14:07). “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe’.” ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling us that if you are thankful for what Allah gives you, He will give you more. Because everything is for Him.Everything we get is from Him. Don’t think that you get this from that man, from this woman, from this country, from that country, from government, from this, no. This is all from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He only makes something to come to you through this way, from these people, from this government, from this man, from this Sheikh, from this one. All of this is coming from Allah. So if you are thankful for Him, He will give you more. His treasures are endless, not limited. They are endless. Everything: He gives. In Jannah, the lowest one in Jannah gets like this earth. Imagine this! The lowest one going to Jannah – after a million years in hell he goes to Jannah and he will have like this world. So for everything He says, “There’s no fear that it will finish.”
Now we are living in this earth, many things are finished. Thousands of kinds of animals are finished. Thousands of kinds of plants are finished.
Page402
The fish are finished. They even finished the water. Everything is limited. But when you are with Allah and you thank Him, what you think finishes will become more and more.
For this, we are advising people to be thankful for Allah. [Say] every time, “Shukr Ya Allah. Shukr Ya Rabbana. Shukr for You. Thank you for what you gave us.” This is the Adab of Tariqah, Adab of Islam. Tariqah and Islam are the same. There’s no difference. Some people think Sufism is out of Islam. It is the heart of Islam. Mawlana Sheikh was every day when hearing some good news, he was sometimes quickly making Shukr Sajdah and sometimes praying two Rak’aat Shukr. Alhamdulilah we are hearing some good news, we make this Shukr Prayer for the love of Allah; especially [when it’s] for the benefit Allah Ummah. This Shukr Prayer is a very important thing. To thank Allah gives Islam more power, more protection from Dajjal and his followers, from shaytan and his followers.
They are attacking without getting tired. All the time – since Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made our father ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam come [down] from Jannah – this war doesn’t finish. Until Qiyamah, it will not finish; by the wisdom of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla prohibited our father ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, the first man, to eat from this tree in Jannah. It was prohibited to eat from it and ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam ate. Many of these headless people are not happy with ‘Adam ‘alayhi ssalam. He is our father. They say, “All of this is his fault. Everything we make from sins, he is responsible for that.” No.This is Allah will. Allah prohibited ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam from eating from this tree, and He didn’t prevent him from eating. He prohibited him, but the wisdom is He didn’t prevent him. And He also made angels make Sajdah, prostrate for ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. He ordered all the angels, and ‘Iblis/shaytan didn’t. He ordered but Hedidn’t make shaytan to make Sajdah. This is His wisdom; to be fighting until Qiyamah. Those who follow ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam will win. Those who follow shaytan will lose. This is His wisdom. Nobody can not any scholar, not any ‘Alim could explain this. These headless people are accusing ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-
Page403
salam, “He was making a fault. And all of these human beings will be out of paradise from his fault.” No. This is just Allah ‘Azza waJalla’swill to make people be in this world and get tested: who is going in the right way and who is going in the wrong way. It will be in this world.
For this, we are in a time: the most difficult time. There is a very big clash or conflict between Haqq and Batil, between right and wrong, between good and not good, between beauty and ugly: ugly acting. Maybe you can see many people think shaytan is ugly, but maybe he comes as a very beautiful thing. But he is in reality ugly. This is the war between all of this. In this time, there is a very strong, very violent war now. Because the time is ending, and all of this must be. For this, we are doing our best. We are happy when we hear that something happened making Muslims (more) stronger and believers (more) stronger. We are happy for this. We are making Shukr for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says after that: “Wa La ‘in Kafartum ‘Inna ‘Adhābī Lashadīd”,“But if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe’.” (Qur’ān 14:07).Whoever is against this, not accepting this and not thankful, My punishment is not easy. If you do not regret and ask for forgiveness, you will have a very bad punishment, a very huge punishment. Don’t think it is a joke. It is the promise of our Lord who creates everything and whom everything is in His Hand. Nothing affects Him. If the whole universe goes against Him, He is not affected one millimeter. If the whole world or universe (not only the world), comes with Him, there is also no benefit for Him because He owns everything.
But He is Merciful towards us and He advises people giving them instructions: where you will be safe, where you will be not safe. When we will be in the wrong way or in danger, don’t go to this, He says. Be thankful. If you are not thankful, you will be in danger. It will be dangerous for you because you will forever be in a bad place, which is the place of the people who are not asking for forgiveness from the Most Merciful, our Lord Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Nobody can be Merciful as
Page404
Him. He forgives everything. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying,“Inna AllāhaYaghfiruAdh-DhunūbaJamī`āan, ‘Innahu Huwa Al-GhafūruArRaĥīm”,“Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Qur’ān 39:53). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Azim. Allah is saying in this verse: Allah is the Most Merciful. He forgiveness everything. Everything you’ve done, you get His لالھ fجorلgivجeness and He forgives you. He said, “Don’t lose this chance.” Until the end of your life, you can ask for forgiveness. After that, you cannot.
For this, you must be careful. Don’t be cheated by these people who are showing the bad thing as a good thing and the good thing as a bad thing. Maybe it is easy to follow the way of shaytan, the way of those who are against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. In reality, the way which is a little bit more difficult is to believe. Because you have the ego, you have shaytan, you have many things to make you unhappy, to not make it easy to follow this way. But if you follow it, you will be (more) happy even in this world. And especially in the next life: extremely happy Insha Allah.
May Allah keep us safe from this bad time. We are really – everybody is feeling this and knowing this. Insha Allah for the believer, it will be good, not bad Insha Allah. May Allah help you. May Allah give you more and more Iman for all of you. The most valuable thing is Iman, belief. Insha Allah He makes our Iman more with the Barakah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Barakah of ‘Awliyau’LlahInsha Allah.

SAYYIDINA IBRAHIM AND THE FIRE WORSHIPPER Wednesday, 30 May 2023 / 10 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vancouver, 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
[..] destroying the people of Lut. For the angels, he brought them food to eat. But the angels don’t eat. When they didn’t eat, he was not happy and a little bit afraid.
So he [Sayyidina ‘Ibrahim ‘alayhi s-salam] was very generous. He was looking for somebody to bring to eat with him. When having dinner, he liked to have guests to eat with him. That day, he couldn’t find anybody. Nobody came. He went out and found one man. He brought him saying, “Come, come. I want a guest to eat with me.” When he came inside he didn’t look like a Muslim he asked him, “Are you Muslim?” He said, “No.” He asked him, “What are you?” He said, “I am fire worshipper.” He told him, “Be a Muslim and I’ll have you as a guest here.” He said, “No. I don’t want to be Muslim.” He answered, “So I will not let you be here.” And he sent him away.
After that, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him Jibra’il ‘alayhi s-salam. He said, “Why did you do this? Why didn’t you give food to this man?” He said, “He does not believe in Allah. He is Kafir. I asked him to be a servant for Allah, but he said ‘No. I am a servant for fire only’.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent with Jibril, telling him, “This man is maybe 80 or 90 years old, or more. All these years, I know he’s not worshipping Me and I give him his provision. I feed him and I give him everything. Only for
Page406
once, you didn’t do this. Quickly run after him and bring him to eat.” ‘Ibrahim ‘alayhi s-salam ran and found him in the end. He told him, “Come to eat.” He said, “Why did you fire me and throw me out? And why are you now coming asking me to come with you?” He said, “I was angry with you because you don’t believe in God. And God, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla said that He fed you for 90 years and you didn’t worship Him. Just once I didn’t feed you, He got angry with me and told me to bring you again.” When he heard this he said, “You are right. I must be in your religion, to be Muslim.” And he became Muslim.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t differentiate between His servants. He gives everybody provision, but what’s important is to be thankful to Him, to give good things to people. This is the teaching of Allah and Prophets.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

FOR EACH NATION A PROPHET Wednesday, 30 May 2023 / 10 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vancouver, 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Insha Allah we will make a little Sohbah and after that Dhikr, to make Barakah for our visit Insha Allah.
Our Tariqah is in gathering and Sohbah. The Naqshbandi Tariqah. To be with good people. Anyone coming to listen to advice, Naseeha is a good one. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla blesses him. People of old times were coming from and through long distances to hear Naseeha, to hear the good thing. People now are not interested in such a thing. If there is something which is of no benefit for them, they are going and looking at this, for long distances. They are going far away. But when a good thing is coming, nobody is interested. But there’s no problem.
When this gathering happens, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sends – this is from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam that we heard from Mawlana Sheikh Nazim – He sends His blessings to the whole country, to the whole city or where they are making this gathering and Sohbah with the intention for the sake of Allah. And this blessing is for the whole city. But when in the gathering there isn’t the whole city, this whole blessing comes only for these people who are attending this gathering. So they will be blessed a thousand times more than the normal time.So this is a good occasion to get blessings, to be in such a gathering, which is only for the sake of Allah and for the sake of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwa-
Page408
sallam. Allah rewards us for this. It is without doing any harm for people, no bad action. We are only gathering for the benefit of human beings, for the benefit of the Ummah and trying to learn something. We are also learning when the Sohbah is coming. Insha Allah this is coming from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, from Awliyau’Llah. They are putting and making us to speak.
We are happy to be with people. Now I heard that Mawlana was here in this city, in this country; here in Canada and America. Many people met him and are coming again, from his Barakah, to see this gathering, to see us. We are happy because this is also from the good behavior of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam: to not forget people who were friends with you father and with your mother. You must look for them, not cut this relationship. You must be visiting them or meeting them. This is from the orders of our Prophet.
Every good thing is coming through Prophets. They are teaching people good things. Because the nature of people is not to follow the good thing. They are following – everybody has an ego. The ego takes people to the wrong way. If you follow the ego, the ego never takes you to the good way. We never heard that the ego makes people come to the way, the straight way, to be good people; no. The ego is all the time going to the wrong side. You must every time, bring it to come to the right way. Don’t go out of the way.
For this, Prophets were coming to show people the right way, to show people the good thing, good behaviour, good action. To be of benefit for themselves, for other people, for their country, for human beings. This is the intention of Prophets which are traveling or going through their nation telling them, “This is good. That is not good.” And most of the times, they were not accepted and they were given a bad thing, a bad time, pressuring them, oppressing them, not being happy with them. But their mission is to show people the right and good thing.Because Prophets are coming – For each nation, Allah sent a Prophet. Everywhere on this earth, there was a Prophet. Even some days ago, some
Page409
were asking me if there was a Prophet in America. Of course. Here also; there was a nation living here. And in Qur’an it is said, “We sent for each nation a Prophet.” (Qur’an 16:36) But what happened after the Prophets? People were [first] happy with them. But after 50 years or 60 years, not more than 100 years, people changed what they learnt. They didn’t accept and began to worship other things; to worship stones, to worship wood, worship I don’t know what. Whatever they found, they worshipped because they are following what the ego and shaytan teaches them.
As Sayyidina Musa ‘alayhi s-salam, after many miracles happened for his nation. [As when] they came running away from Pharaoh through a big sea. The sea divided into 12 paths for the 12 tribes in the water. Each one in one path with [walls] reaching until the surface. And they can see each other through [windows in] the water. They went safely to Sinai. And Pharoah and his army sank in thesea. After this, they came to the other side and asked for water from Musa ‘alayhi s-salam. He hit the rock by his stick and came 12 fountains of water. Each tribe drank from this water. Many miracles happened to them, to show them. Then, he went to Tur Sinai, where Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla was addressing him. And he stayed there for 40 days. When he came back, they were worshipping idol of cow. They made a golden cow and they were worshipping it. This is the attribute of human beings. They quickly forget what’s good and go after badness. All of these miracles happened, maybe four months or three months, and all of them saw them. When Musa ‘alayhi s-salam went away for 40 days, they were worshipping this idol of cow.
For this, each nation had a Prophet. But quickly after the Prophet, shaytan made people worship another thing; not worshipping Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. So our ego is dangerous. Don’t say, “Why do we need a Prophet? Why do we need somebody to teach us what we need? We can only follow what we learn from books. We also don’t want everything from books; What our ego likes we can take, the other we don’t want.” When you do this, you will be destroying human beings. As the nature of earth is destroyed, and many things are finished, many things are not
Page410
here; they will also finish humankind with their stupid ideas and stupid teachings.
May Allah keep us safe. Everywhere in this Dunya now there is a very bad war between right and wrong. Many people think the wrong is right; most people think that. But the right is right and it will appear. There is a saying, “You cannot cover the sun with mud.” It cannot be. The Haqq will appear sooner or later.
May Allah keep us safe and keep our children safe from this big Fitnah Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

BROTHERHOOD FOR AKHIRAH Thursday, 31 May 2023 / 11 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vancouver, 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:‘’Innama l-mu’minūnaikhwa’’(Qur’ān 49:10). ‘‘The believers are but brothers.’’ ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in this verse that Mu’min, believers are brothers. Be together and help each other for good things. You ask for good things from your brother. ‘Ikhwa in Tarīqah, ‘Ikhwan [meaning] brothers. And in Tarīqah also, to follow the order of Allah and order of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to make every Sunnah and every order. As much as we can, we must do.
And this also a very important thing: to make brotherhood for Akhirah. When Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was emigrating from Makkah to Madinah, he made each Sahabi to be brothers for Akhirah. This is Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And they were helping each other. They were giving and sacrificing everything. When they emigrated to Madinah, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was giving each Sahabi who came from Madinah and those from Makkah to be together, brothers. They were giving everything. They were even giving half of what they own to their brothers. That time, he can also be an inheritor. But after this of course, not as inheritor but only brotherhood: to help each other, to look after each other. This is a good example for us.We can do this also. Nowadays maybe it’s more important. Especially in places like this where you are not much; the majority are nonbe-
Page412
lievers, nonMuslim. Muslims can look after each other, help each other. Of course, this is for the sake of Allah that you must do this, not for benefit; if he has something. AlhamdulLilah most people are not like this, but sometimes there comes like these [people].
One Sahabah: Abdul-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwfradiyaLlahu‘anhu, was very rich. He is a trader in Makkah. But when he ran away from Makkah to Madinah, he couldn’t bring anything with him. So the Sahabah who was brothers with him, in brotherhood, he said, “I have very much money. Take as much as you like. You can continue trading.” He said, “No, just give me one rope and show me where the market is. I don’t want anything.” After that, he showed him and he was trading again. He became very rich again.
Normally if somebody says [take], many people like to share this with him. But brotherhood is important not to get material benefit. What’s more important is to be for the sake of Allah, to help each other, to look for what you can teach them or give any help; not only for helping by money or other things. There is more important help than this. Don’t be like people of these days, everybody is only thinking, “What can I benefit from this brotherhood, from this man, from this woman”, not looking for real happiness, real help. To get one real friend is more valuable from diamond even, not only gold.
But nowadays, they don’t have any thinking about They think they are clever. They think they know everything but in reality, they are only eating straw or eating wood, not eating the nice things, the inside of the fruit. They are eating the outside, the dry part, not eating the good part. And they think they are clever and they are happy with what they get. But they forget they don’t understand, not ‘forget’. To forget is also good but from the beginning, they are not understanding about spirituality, about this good attribute, this good thing Allah gave us that is special for human beings. When you lose this, you lose your humanity and you become like the four-legged animals. Even animals maybe sometimes have better attribute than these people who forgot their humanity, running after Dunya, running after benefit only.
Page413
You must make yourself, your ego – teach yourself the good thing, teach your ego also the good thing. And after that, you will be a good one. And the good ones: Allah loves them and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves them. And when Allah and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam love these people, Allah orders the angels to love them and orders people to love them. And they become beloved for everyone. Everybody who sees them will be happy with them even if they don’t know them. But on the other side, everybody runs away from these people; not coming to them. They will be hated by Allah and hated by Prophet. And when this hate is coming, everybody will hate them. Even if they have everything, they think people will love them but nobody will love them.
May Allah make us especially in these days to find good brothers, good brotherhood to be between us. Especially for Tariqah we are saying this. Tariqah Murids, ‘Ikhwan we said. ‘Ikhwan means brothers. Brothers must be together. Allah loves gatherings. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying:”Allah’s Hand of Power is upon the the community “Hadith]. Allah is with the gathering with good people. When you are together, Allah supports you, Allah gives you more Barakah and more happiness.
May Allah make us to be together, not to look at our wrongdoings and mistakes. Because everybody has a mistake. No one is without mistake and without wrongdoing. Allah forgives this mistake, and we forgive also. If Allah forgives, we must forgive also. No need to look at the small things. The important thing is the order of Allah. If you see ‘this is good and this is not good’, you will not find a perfect one. The perfect one is only Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam.
May Allah help us. May Allah make us to be together Insha Allah.

WHAT AND HOW TO EAT Friday, 1 June 2023 / 12 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Delta, Vancouver – 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.
All Prophets were teaching Islam. And Islam is teaching the way of life for human beings. To follow this way, to be happy and satisfied, and for everything to be good for them. You can find everything in Islam: for what you do, where you go and where you come. In every hour of your day, if you are following, Allah rewards you.
Now Alhamdulilah we just ate. Thank you to our host, he gave this feast for the sake of Allah. Allah rewards him. And of course as we said, everything in Islam has a way, and so does how to eat. To begin with the Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. He said to wash your hands before eating and after eating. This is Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. When you do this, you get ‘Ajr Shaheed (reward of a martyr) or five Shaheed or seven Shaheed sometimes until a hundred Shaheed. The reward of a martyr. One Shaheed can take seventy people of whom Allah wants to put with their sins in hell, he can take them to Jannah. So how big is what you do! Only for washing your hands.
After that, when you sit to eat, also make Dua or if you don’t know you must even begin with: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Because every bite you eat without Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, you feed the shaytan. But if you say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, he will say, “O
Page415
I’m hungry now.” Without this he’s happy to eat with you, and you won’t have any reward. But when you say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, every bite will be Shifa’ (cure) for you and not going to shaytan.
You must eat – of course, there are also many things about good behavior, Adab of eating. You must put [in your plate] as much as you can eat. When you take something, you must finish your plate without leaving anything in the plate. Don’t take too much. Take a little, after that if it was not enough, you can take more. And you must finish it. Because Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that in the food, there is one part that has all the Barakah of the food. When you eat, you get health and you get Barakah also.
Because now it is a custom, a new fashion for people: they must leave something in their plate. Because if they don’t leave, they’ll say this is not good. Maybe people will laugh at them and say, “What are these people doing! They are not leaving any food. Aren’t they full yet! They are still trying to eat this plate!” Don’t listen to them. You must do this for the sake of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and for the value of this Ni’mah that Allah gave us. Alhamdulilah we are not hungry. Millions of people can’t find this: what you are throwing in the dustbin and not eating. Because Ni’mah, provision is very sensitive. If it is not happy, maybe you cannot find it later. You cannot find it.
So you must know this and keep this, for you and for your family also. Especially, everywhere now: in the east and west, north and south of this planet. Many of the small Antichrist, Dajjal have appeared and are attacking believers, attacking belief, attacking good behavior. They are ordering bad behavior.
Sowhen you are doing this many people are asking, “How will we save our children?” You can begin from how you eat and how you behave in the house. With this, Allah protects you Insha Allah. This is also a secret of this wisdom. Not only looking after: what we can do with our
Page416
children, what will we do. The most important thing is this: what you eat and how you eat.
We forgot to say that before eating, take a little bit of salt and put it in your mouth. This is also Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. And it gives health and Barakah also. Sayyidina ‘Ali Karrama Allahu Wajhah said, “This protects you from seventy illnesses.” Seventy illnesses are not little. One illness can make you very bad. Seventy illnesses are too difficult. I think among them must be cancer or other things also. So this is also important.
After you eat, you also make Dua and thank Allah (praise). And also put a little bit of salt also in your mouth. There are many things, of course, in the Adab of eating but this is enough for us. It is not difficult. It is easy. You must do it.
And Allah is also saying, you must before this look from where you are getting your money. If you are working, anywhere you are working, it is not a problem. Make your intention for Allah and ask Allah to give you good Rizq, good work, good business. But the important thing is not to cheat people, not to take something from people and not give them back. This is very dangerous. After this, you see many people who are going to Hajj, praying and doing everything, their children are not like them at all. This is because they were eating Haram, cheating people, taking what is not for them. This is in everything. Especially the countries who say the man must inherit everything from his father or mother, not leaving anything for the sister or daughter; only for the man. Allah gave them. He has even given them the half. Even this, they are not giving. And after that, they are going to Hajj and going to Umrah many times, and their children become not good Muslims and even not good people. Many of them go to jail.
They are not knowing this. Shaytan makes them blind and makes them not understand this. This is also more important than how you eat. Before that, [what’s important is] how you get this. Don’t think Haram has any Barakah. In Haram, there is no Barakah at all. If you take millions
Page417
with Haram, there is no benefit for you, nothing. With Halal, even a small thing is Barakah for all of you.For this, for our children – because we are living in a place where we cannot say anything here. Maybe they make up a problem for people. Today once beginning – So to protect yourself and your children from these Dajjal people, you must give yourself and your family good Rizq, good income. Even if a small one, but it must be clean. This is very important. If you are not doing this, you will be regretful. Because there will be no Barakah from what you get, and no Barakah after that from your family.
May Allah protect us from our greedy ego. The ego is very greedy. It thinks everything is good. In Turkey, there was one communist poet who was making fun of the ones around him. He said, “Ver Allahım, Haram Helal farketmez, çolukçocukyerler”, “O our Lord Allah, give us. Halal or not Halal, the children are eating. Give us.” He was joking this, but he was a communist. Allah’s wisdom can be from anywhere: for Mu’min, Muslim – It is not important from where the wisdom is coming. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying, “Look for wisdom anywhere.” He was saying this for those who claim they are Muslim and are praying and doing, and after that they ask, “What happened to our children?”
We must be careful. Really, we are in a very difficult time, a very tough time, a very dangerous time. May Allah keep our children and Muslim children from this Bala’ (affliction). This is a big Bala’. It is not easy. They are attacking believers everywhere. There are of course attacks by killing and destroying, but the real attack is at our belief. It is also not less than that [the former]. If killed, they will be martyrs, Shaheed. But in this, they are killing the belief of children; and this is (more) worse.
May Allah keep us safe and keep our children safe. We are living in a really difficult time.

Allah ‘Azza waJalla is saying in the Qur’an that we have a good example from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You must follow him. He was following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam exactly. And he is for us also a good example. We must follow him; not going out of his way.
As we said, his Murids are from the poorest one to the richest one. Every one, Sheikh Bahauddin says every time, is very precious. All of you are very precious for him. He doesn’t want anybody to disturb you or do what Mawlana was not happy with for you. If you want to ask something, ask from Allah don’t ask from poor people. His treasures are endless. He is not afraid for them to finish. Here [Dunya], the (most) richest one: as much as they become rich, they become stingy. They are afraid to give. So ask from Whose treasures are endless and don’t finish. Ask from Him. You must believe in this. Many people say, “O I depended on Allah and nothing happened. I am still poor. I still have no money.” These people are testing Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. From the beginning, they are losers. With not even one step, they are finished. Who has belief, even if he dies from hunger, he must believe Allah is Razzaq. If he has something from provision for him, it will come. If not, nothing will come to him. Shaqīq al-Balkhī says that he was trading. He was going to trade in his youth in Central Asia, maybe in Turkistan. Some nonbeliever saw him, “What are you doing?” “I am trading.” He said, “If you are a believer, you must believe that anywhere [you are] Allah sends you your provision. If you are not a believer, you don’t say, ‘I am this, I am that’.” Insha Allah to make Mawlana Sheikh Nazim, Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani, our Prophet and Allah ‘Azza wa-Jallahappy, you must try to follow your Sheikh Insha Allah. Because
Page399
people are not understanding: with miracle wisdom, all the Sohbahs of Grand Sheikh disappeared. Nothing was left, only what Mawlana Sheikh Nazim has. Of course, he wrote many Sohbahs: 7,000 Sohbah. But what’s most important is what’s in his heart, what they have given him. Alhamdulilah he was Khalifah for 41 years, after Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah. Many books, many CDs, videos and audios – there are thousands and thousands – each one has endless wisdom. People are still happy from east to west from these which they hear.
May Allah make us be strongly on this way. Alhamdulilah I see here many people have their children, their sons, their daughters; they are in this way. This is important also. To be all together. The utmost happiness for man or woman is to be with their family in the right way. We are, Insha Allah may Allah keep them safe, because we are waiting for what Mawlana Sheikh Nazim was saying about the end of times. It is a very difficult time for believers to say the truth. We cannot say everything because this Fitnah is coming more and more. Insha’Allah if all together, it will be easy; nothing happens Insha Allah to you.
Mawlana Sheikh was his whole life waiting for Mahdi alayhi s-salam. He said, “I waited in the evening, if not then in the morning. I waited 60 years for Mahdi alayhi s-salam.” And we are on his way. We are waiting for Mahdi alayhi ssalam. This time is getting really – everything of what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying and what Mawlana Sheikh is saying has reached the peak. Every bad thing, every bad action has reached its peak in the world; everywhere, not here only, everywhere.
When Mawlana Sheikh was speaking about Mahdi alayhi s-salam, many people were not accepting or had some doubt about Mahdi alayhi s-salam. And I was wondering when these people were not happy with what Mawlana Sheikh is saying about Mahdi, “Why is he speaking about Mahdi? If he speaks about another thing, more people will be following Mawlana.” After that, Alhamdulilah an inspiration came from Mawlana: he is in the Maqam of Sayyidina Nuh ‘alayhi s-salam. Because
Page400
Sayyidina Nuh ‘alayhi s-salam was far away from the seaside maybe a thousand miles or a thousand kilometers; no sea, nothing. And he was trying, building this ark ship. People were coming to him asking him, “What are you doing?” He said, “I am building a ship.” They said, “This man is crazy.” They were laughing at him and he was doing this for maybe more than 100 years or 200 years until he completed it. During all this time, people were laughing at him, accusing him of craziness. But in the end, you saw what happened.
So for everything there is a time. When the time comes, who is denying and not accepting this will be regretful. During Mawlana’s life, some of the ‘Ulama (scholars) weren’t happy with him, and were saying something not good. But after Mawlana passed away, they all regretted that and came asking for forgiveness. They said, “We couldn’t ask forgiveness from him, please, we are sorry. Accept our forgiveness on behalf of Mawlana.”
AlhamdulilahInsha Allah we love him, and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “You will be with whom you love.” And we are sure Insha Allah that we will meet him in Paradise and we will be forever with him. May Allah make you more and more people Hidayah (guidance) for these people.
These people are Maa Sha Allah good people, the people of Canada. Insha Allah may Allah give them Hidayah and give them this happiness and for all people Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

AN ADVICE TO BE THANKFUL Monday, 28 May 2023 / 8 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vincent Massey Park – Ottawa, 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “La‘inShakartum La‘azīdannakum, WaLa‘in Kafartum ‘Inna ‘Adhābī Lashadīd”,(Qur’ān 14:07). “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe’.” ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling us that if you are thankful for what Allah gives you, He will give you more. Because everything is for Him.Everything we get is from Him. Don’t think that you get this from that man, from this woman, from this country, from that country, from government, from this, no. This is all from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He only makes something to come to you through this way, from these people, from this government, from this man, from this Sheikh, from this one. All of this is coming from Allah. So if you are thankful for Him, He will give you more. His treasures are endless, not limited. They are endless. Everything: He gives. In Jannah, the lowest one in Jannah gets like this earth. Imagine this! The lowest one going to Jannah – after a million years in hell he goes to Jannah and he will have like this world. So for everything He says, “There’s no fear that it will finish.”
Now we are living in this earth, many things are finished. Thousands of kinds of animals are finished. Thousands of kinds of plants are finished.
Page402
The fish are finished. They even finished the water. Everything is limited. But when you are with Allah and you thank Him, what you think finishes will become more and more.
For this, we are advising people to be thankful for Allah. [Say] every time, “Shukr Ya Allah. Shukr Ya Rabbana. Shukr for You. Thank you for what you gave us.” This is the Adab of Tariqah, Adab of Islam. Tariqah and Islam are the same. There’s no difference. Some people think Sufism is out of Islam. It is the heart of Islam. Mawlana Sheikh was every day when hearing some good news, he was sometimes quickly making Shukr Sajdah and sometimes praying two Rak’aat Shukr. Alhamdulilah we are hearing some good news, we make this Shukr Prayer for the love of Allah; especially [when it’s] for the benefit Allah Ummah. This Shukr Prayer is a very important thing. To thank Allah gives Islam more power, more protection from Dajjal and his followers, from shaytan and his followers.
They are attacking without getting tired. All the time – since Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made our father ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam come [down] from Jannah – this war doesn’t finish. Until Qiyamah, it will not finish; by the wisdom of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla prohibited our father ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, the first man, to eat from this tree in Jannah. It was prohibited to eat from it and ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam ate. Many of these headless people are not happy with ‘Adam ‘alayhi ssalam. He is our father. They say, “All of this is his fault. Everything we make from sins, he is responsible for that.” No.This is Allah will. Allah prohibited ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam from eating from this tree, and He didn’t prevent him from eating. He prohibited him, but the wisdom is He didn’t prevent him. And He also made angels make Sajdah, prostrate for ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. He ordered all the angels, and ‘Iblis/shaytan didn’t. He ordered but Hedidn’t make shaytan to make Sajdah. This is His wisdom; to be fighting until Qiyamah. Those who follow ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam will win. Those who follow shaytan will lose. This is His wisdom. Nobody can not any scholar, not any ‘Alim could explain this. These headless people are accusing ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-
Page403
salam, “He was making a fault. And all of these human beings will be out of paradise from his fault.” No. This is just Allah ‘Azza waJalla’swill to make people be in this world and get tested: who is going in the right way and who is going in the wrong way. It will be in this world.
For this, we are in a time: the most difficult time. There is a very big clash or conflict between Haqq and Batil, between right and wrong, between good and not good, between beauty and ugly: ugly acting. Maybe you can see many people think shaytan is ugly, but maybe he comes as a very beautiful thing. But he is in reality ugly. This is the war between all of this. In this time, there is a very strong, very violent war now. Because the time is ending, and all of this must be. For this, we are doing our best. We are happy when we hear that something happened making Muslims (more) stronger and believers (more) stronger. We are happy for this. We are making Shukr for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says after that: “Wa La ‘in Kafartum ‘Inna ‘Adhābī Lashadīd”,“But if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe’.” (Qur’ān 14:07).Whoever is against this, not accepting this and not thankful, My punishment is not easy. If you do not regret and ask for forgiveness, you will have a very bad punishment, a very huge punishment. Don’t think it is a joke. It is the promise of our Lord who creates everything and whom everything is in His Hand. Nothing affects Him. If the whole universe goes against Him, He is not affected one millimeter. If the whole world or universe (not only the world), comes with Him, there is also no benefit for Him because He owns everything.
But He is Merciful towards us and He advises people giving them instructions: where you will be safe, where you will be not safe. When we will be in the wrong way or in danger, don’t go to this, He says. Be thankful. If you are not thankful, you will be in danger. It will be dangerous for you because you will forever be in a bad place, which is the place of the people who are not asking for forgiveness from the Most Merciful, our Lord Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Nobody can be Merciful as
Page404
Him. He forgives everything. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying,“Inna AllāhaYaghfiruAdh-DhunūbaJamī`āan, ‘Innahu Huwa Al-GhafūruArRaĥīm”,“Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Qur’ān 39:53). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘Azim. Allah is saying in this verse: Allah is the Most Merciful. He forgiveness everything. Everything you’ve done, you get His لالھ fجorلgivجeness and He forgives you. He said, “Don’t lose this chance.” Until the end of your life, you can ask for forgiveness. After that, you cannot.
For this, you must be careful. Don’t be cheated by these people who are showing the bad thing as a good thing and the good thing as a bad thing. Maybe it is easy to follow the way of shaytan, the way of those who are against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. In reality, the way which is a little bit more difficult is to believe. Because you have the ego, you have shaytan, you have many things to make you unhappy, to not make it easy to follow this way. But if you follow it, you will be (more) happy even in this world. And especially in the next life: extremely happy Insha Allah.
May Allah keep us safe from this bad time. We are really – everybody is feeling this and knowing this. Insha Allah for the believer, it will be good, not bad Insha Allah. May Allah help you. May Allah give you more and more Iman for all of you. The most valuable thing is Iman, belief. Insha Allah He makes our Iman more with the Barakah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Barakah of ‘Awliyau’LlahInsha Allah.

SAYYIDINA IBRAHIM AND THE FIRE WORSHIPPER Wednesday, 30 May 2023 / 10 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vancouver, 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
[..] destroying the people of Lut. For the angels, he brought them food to eat. But the angels don’t eat. When they didn’t eat, he was not happy and a little bit afraid.
So he [Sayyidina ‘Ibrahim ‘alayhi s-salam] was very generous. He was looking for somebody to bring to eat with him. When having dinner, he liked to have guests to eat with him. That day, he couldn’t find anybody. Nobody came. He went out and found one man. He brought him saying, “Come, come. I want a guest to eat with me.” When he came inside he didn’t look like a Muslim he asked him, “Are you Muslim?” He said, “No.” He asked him, “What are you?” He said, “I am fire worshipper.” He told him, “Be a Muslim and I’ll have you as a guest here.” He said, “No. I don’t want to be Muslim.” He answered, “So I will not let you be here.” And he sent him away.
After that, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him Jibra’il ‘alayhi s-salam. He said, “Why did you do this? Why didn’t you give food to this man?” He said, “He does not believe in Allah. He is Kafir. I asked him to be a servant for Allah, but he said ‘No. I am a servant for fire only’.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent with Jibril, telling him, “This man is maybe 80 or 90 years old, or more. All these years, I know he’s not worshipping Me and I give him his provision. I feed him and I give him everything. Only for
Page406
once, you didn’t do this. Quickly run after him and bring him to eat.” ‘Ibrahim ‘alayhi s-salam ran and found him in the end. He told him, “Come to eat.” He said, “Why did you fire me and throw me out? And why are you now coming asking me to come with you?” He said, “I was angry with you because you don’t believe in God. And God, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla said that He fed you for 90 years and you didn’t worship Him. Just once I didn’t feed you, He got angry with me and told me to bring you again.” When he heard this he said, “You are right. I must be in your religion, to be Muslim.” And he became Muslim.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t differentiate between His servants. He gives everybody provision, but what’s important is to be thankful to Him, to give good things to people. This is the teaching of Allah and Prophets.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

FOR EACH NATION A PROPHET Wednesday, 30 May 2023 / 10 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Vancouver, 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Insha Allah we will make a little Sohbah and after that Dhikr, to make Barakah for our visit Insha Allah.
Our Tariqah is in gathering and Sohbah. The Naqshbandi Tariqah. To be with good people. Anyone coming to listen to advice, Naseeha is a good one. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla blesses him. People of old times were coming from and through long distances to hear Naseeha, to hear the good thing. People now are not interested in such a thing. If there is something which is of no benefit for them, they are going and looking at this, for long distances. They are going far away. But when a good thing is coming, nobody is interested. But there’s no problem.
When this gathering happens, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sends – this is from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam that we heard from Mawlana Sheikh Nazim – He sends His blessings to the whole country, to the whole city or where they are making this gathering and Sohbah with the intention for the sake of Allah. And this blessing is for the whole city. But when in the gathering there isn’t the whole city, this whole blessing comes only for these people who are attending this gathering. So they will be blessed a thousand times more than the normal time.So this is a good occasion to get blessings, to be in such a gathering, which is only for the sake of Allah and for the sake of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwa-
Page408
sallam. Allah rewards us for this. It is without doing any harm for people, no bad action. We are only gathering for the benefit of human beings, for the benefit of the Ummah and trying to learn something. We are also learning when the Sohbah is coming. Insha Allah this is coming from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, from Awliyau’Llah. They are putting and making us to speak.
We are happy to be with people. Now I heard that Mawlana was here in this city, in this country; here in Canada and America. Many people met him and are coming again, from his Barakah, to see this gathering, to see us. We are happy because this is also from the good behavior of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam: to not forget people who were friends with you father and with your mother. You must look for them, not cut this relationship. You must be visiting them or meeting them. This is from the orders of our Prophet.
Every good thing is coming through Prophets. They are teaching people good things. Because the nature of people is not to follow the good thing. They are following – everybody has an ego. The ego takes people to the wrong way. If you follow the ego, the ego never takes you to the good way. We never heard that the ego makes people come to the way, the straight way, to be good people; no. The ego is all the time going to the wrong side. You must every time, bring it to come to the right way. Don’t go out of the way.
For this, Prophets were coming to show people the right way, to show people the good thing, good behaviour, good action. To be of benefit for themselves, for other people, for their country, for human beings. This is the intention of Prophets which are traveling or going through their nation telling them, “This is good. That is not good.” And most of the times, they were not accepted and they were given a bad thing, a bad time, pressuring them, oppressing them, not being happy with them. But their mission is to show people the right and good thing.Because Prophets are coming – For each nation, Allah sent a Prophet. Everywhere on this earth, there was a Prophet. Even some days ago, some
Page409
were asking me if there was a Prophet in America. Of course. Here also; there was a nation living here. And in Qur’an it is said, “We sent for each nation a Prophet.” (Qur’an 16:36) But what happened after the Prophets? People were [first] happy with them. But after 50 years or 60 years, not more than 100 years, people changed what they learnt. They didn’t accept and began to worship other things; to worship stones, to worship wood, worship I don’t know what. Whatever they found, they worshipped because they are following what the ego and shaytan teaches them.
As Sayyidina Musa ‘alayhi s-salam, after many miracles happened for his nation. [As when] they came running away from Pharaoh through a big sea. The sea divided into 12 paths for the 12 tribes in the water. Each one in one path with [walls] reaching until the surface. And they can see each other through [windows in] the water. They went safely to Sinai. And Pharoah and his army sank in thesea. After this, they came to the other side and asked for water from Musa ‘alayhi s-salam. He hit the rock by his stick and came 12 fountains of water. Each tribe drank from this water. Many miracles happened to them, to show them. Then, he went to Tur Sinai, where Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla was addressing him. And he stayed there for 40 days. When he came back, they were worshipping idol of cow. They made a golden cow and they were worshipping it. This is the attribute of human beings. They quickly forget what’s good and go after badness. All of these miracles happened, maybe four months or three months, and all of them saw them. When Musa ‘alayhi s-salam went away for 40 days, they were worshipping this idol of cow.
For this, each nation had a Prophet. But quickly after the Prophet, shaytan made people worship another thing; not worshipping Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. So our ego is dangerous. Don’t say, “Why do we need a Prophet? Why do we need somebody to teach us what we need? We can only follow what we learn from books. We also don’t want everything from books; What our ego likes we can take, the other we don’t want.” When you do this, you will be destroying human beings. As the nature of earth is destroyed, and many things are finished, many things are not
Page410
here; they will also finish humankind with their stupid ideas and stupid teachings.
May Allah keep us safe. Everywhere in this Dunya now there is a very bad war between right and wrong. Many people think the wrong is right; most people think that. But the right is right and it will appear. There is a saying, “You cannot cover the sun with mud.” It cannot be. The Haqq will appear sooner or later.
May Allah keep us safe and keep our children safe from this big Fitnah Insha Allah.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:‘’Innama l-mu’minūnaikhwa’’(Qur’ān 49:10). ‘‘The believers are but brothers.’’ ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in this verse that Mu’min, believers are brothers. Be together and help each other for good things. You ask for good things from your brother. ‘Ikhwa in Tarīqah, ‘Ikhwan [meaning] brothers. And in Tarīqah also, to follow the order of Allah and order of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to make every Sunnah and every order. As much as we can, we must do.
And this also a very important thing: to make brotherhood for Akhirah. When Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was emigrating from Makkah to Madinah, he made each Sahabi to be brothers for Akhirah. This is Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And they were helping each other. They were giving and sacrificing everything. When they emigrated to Madinah, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was giving each Sahabi who came from Madinah and those from Makkah to be together, brothers. They were giving everything. They were even giving half of what they own to their brothers. That time, he can also be an inheritor. But after this of course, not as inheritor but only brotherhood: to help each other, to look after each other. This is a good example for us.We can do this also. Nowadays maybe it’s more important. Especially in places like this where you are not much; the majority are nonbe-
Page412
lievers, nonMuslim. Muslims can look after each other, help each other. Of course, this is for the sake of Allah that you must do this, not for benefit; if he has something. AlhamdulLilah most people are not like this, but sometimes there comes like these [people].
One Sahabah: Abdul-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwfradiyaLlahu‘anhu, was very rich. He is a trader in Makkah. But when he ran away from Makkah to Madinah, he couldn’t bring anything with him. So the Sahabah who was brothers with him, in brotherhood, he said, “I have very much money. Take as much as you like. You can continue trading.” He said, “No, just give me one rope and show me where the market is. I don’t want anything.” After that, he showed him and he was trading again. He became very rich again.
Normally if somebody says [take], many people like to share this with him. But brotherhood is important not to get material benefit. What’s more important is to be for the sake of Allah, to help each other, to look for what you can teach them or give any help; not only for helping by money or other things. There is more important help than this. Don’t be like people of these days, everybody is only thinking, “What can I benefit from this brotherhood, from this man, from this woman”, not looking for real happiness, real help. To get one real friend is more valuable from diamond even, not only gold.
But nowadays, they don’t have any thinking about They think they are clever. They think they know everything but in reality, they are only eating straw or eating wood, not eating the nice things, the inside of the fruit. They are eating the outside, the dry part, not eating the good part. And they think they are clever and they are happy with what they get. But they forget they don’t understand, not ‘forget’. To forget is also good but from the beginning, they are not understanding about spirituality, about this good attribute, this good thing Allah gave us that is special for human beings. When you lose this, you lose your humanity and you become like the four-legged animals. Even animals maybe sometimes have better attribute than these people who forgot their humanity, running after Dunya, running after benefit only.
Page413
You must make yourself, your ego – teach yourself the good thing, teach your ego also the good thing. And after that, you will be a good one. And the good ones: Allah loves them and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves them. And when Allah and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam love these people, Allah orders the angels to love them and orders people to love them. And they become beloved for everyone. Everybody who sees them will be happy with them even if they don’t know them. But on the other side, everybody runs away from these people; not coming to them. They will be hated by Allah and hated by Prophet. And when this hate is coming, everybody will hate them. Even if they have everything, they think people will love them but nobody will love them.
May Allah make us especially in these days to find good brothers, good brotherhood to be between us. Especially for Tariqah we are saying this. Tariqah Murids, ‘Ikhwan we said. ‘Ikhwan means brothers. Brothers must be together. Allah loves gatherings. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying:”Allah’s Hand of Power is upon the the community “Hadith]. Allah is with the gathering with good people. When you are together, Allah supports you, Allah gives you more Barakah and more happiness.
May Allah make us to be together, not to look at our wrongdoings and mistakes. Because everybody has a mistake. No one is without mistake and without wrongdoing. Allah forgives this mistake, and we forgive also. If Allah forgives, we must forgive also. No need to look at the small things. The important thing is the order of Allah. If you see ‘this is good and this is not good’, you will not find a perfect one. The perfect one is only Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam.
May Allah help us. May Allah make us to be together Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WHAT AND HOW TO EAT Friday, 1 June 2023 / 12 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Delta, Vancouver – 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.
All Prophets were teaching Islam. And Islam is teaching the way of life for human beings. To follow this way, to be happy and satisfied, and for everything to be good for them. You can find everything in Islam: for what you do, where you go and where you come. In every hour of your day, if you are following, Allah rewards you.
Now Alhamdulilah we just ate. Thank you to our host, he gave this feast for the sake of Allah. Allah rewards him. And of course as we said, everything in Islam has a way, and so does how to eat. To begin with the Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. He said to wash your hands before eating and after eating. This is Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhi wa-sallam. When you do this, you get ‘Ajr Shaheed (reward of a martyr) or five Shaheed or seven Shaheed sometimes until a hundred Shaheed. The reward of a martyr. One Shaheed can take seventy people of whom Allah wants to put with their sins in hell, he can take them to Jannah. So how big is what you do! Only for washing your hands.
After that, when you sit to eat, also make Dua or if you don’t know you must even begin with: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Because every bite you eat without Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, you feed the shaytan. But if you say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, he will say, “O
Page415
I’m hungry now.” Without this he’s happy to eat with you, and you won’t have any reward. But when you say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, every bite will be Shifa’ (cure) for you and not going to shaytan.
You must eat – of course, there are also many things about good behavior, Adab of eating. You must put [in your plate] as much as you can eat. When you take something, you must finish your plate without leaving anything in the plate. Don’t take too much. Take a little, after that if it was not enough, you can take more. And you must finish it. Because Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that in the food, there is one part that has all the Barakah of the food. When you eat, you get health and you get Barakah also.
Because now it is a custom, a new fashion for people: they must leave something in their plate. Because if they don’t leave, they’ll say this is not good. Maybe people will laugh at them and say, “What are these people doing! They are not leaving any food. Aren’t they full yet! They are still trying to eat this plate!” Don’t listen to them. You must do this for the sake of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and for the value of this Ni’mah that Allah gave us. Alhamdulilah we are not hungry. Millions of people can’t find this: what you are throwing in the dustbin and not eating. Because Ni’mah, provision is very sensitive. If it is not happy, maybe you cannot find it later. You cannot find it.
So you must know this and keep this, for you and for your family also. Especially, everywhere now: in the east and west, north and south of this planet. Many of the small Antichrist, Dajjal have appeared and are attacking believers, attacking belief, attacking good behavior. They are ordering bad behavior.
Sowhen you are doing this many people are asking, “How will we save our children?” You can begin from how you eat and how you behave in the house. With this, Allah protects you Insha Allah. This is also a secret of this wisdom. Not only looking after: what we can do with our
Page416
children, what will we do. The most important thing is this: what you eat and how you eat.
We forgot to say that before eating, take a little bit of salt and put it in your mouth. This is also Sunnah of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. And it gives health and Barakah also. Sayyidina ‘Ali Karrama Allahu Wajhah said, “This protects you from seventy illnesses.” Seventy illnesses are not little. One illness can make you very bad. Seventy illnesses are too difficult. I think among them must be cancer or other things also. So this is also important.
After you eat, you also make Dua and thank Allah (praise). And also put a little bit of salt also in your mouth. There are many things, of course, in the Adab of eating but this is enough for us. It is not difficult. It is easy. You must do it.
And Allah is also saying, you must before this look from where you are getting your money. If you are working, anywhere you are working, it is not a problem. Make your intention for Allah and ask Allah to give you good Rizq, good work, good business. But the important thing is not to cheat people, not to take something from people and not give them back. This is very dangerous. After this, you see many people who are going to Hajj, praying and doing everything, their children are not like them at all. This is because they were eating Haram, cheating people, taking what is not for them. This is in everything. Especially the countries who say the man must inherit everything from his father or mother, not leaving anything for the sister or daughter; only for the man. Allah gave them. He has even given them the half. Even this, they are not giving. And after that, they are going to Hajj and going to Umrah many times, and their children become not good Muslims and even not good people. Many of them go to jail.
They are not knowing this. Shaytan makes them blind and makes them not understand this. This is also more important than how you eat. Before that, [what’s important is] how you get this. Don’t think Haram has any Barakah. In Haram, there is no Barakah at all. If you take millions
Page417
with Haram, there is no benefit for you, nothing. With Halal, even a small thing is Barakah for all of you.For this, for our children – because we are living in a place where we cannot say anything here. Maybe they make up a problem for people. Today once beginning – So to protect yourself and your children from these Dajjal people, you must give yourself and your family good Rizq, good income. Even if a small one, but it must be clean. This is very important. If you are not doing this, you will be regretful. Because there will be no Barakah from what you get, and no Barakah after that from your family.
May Allah protect us from our greedy ego. The ego is very greedy. It thinks everything is good. In Turkey, there was one communist poet who was making fun of the ones around him. He said, “Ver Allahım, Haram Helal farketmez, çolukçocukyerler”, “O our Lord Allah, give us. Halal or not Halal, the children are eating. Give us.” He was joking this, but he was a communist. Allah’s wisdom can be from anywhere: for Mu’min, Muslim – It is not important from where the wisdom is coming. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying, “Look for wisdom anywhere.” He was saying this for those who claim they are Muslim and are praying and doing, and after that they ask, “What happened to our children?”
We must be careful. Really, we are in a very difficult time, a very tough time, a very dangerous time. May Allah keep our children and Muslim children from this Bala’ (affliction). This is a big Bala’. It is not easy. They are attacking believers everywhere. There are of course attacks by killing and destroying, but the real attack is at our belief. It is also not less than that [the former]. If killed, they will be martyrs, Shaheed. But in this, they are killing the belief of children; and this is (more) worse.
May Allah keep us safe and keep our children safe. We are living in a really difficult time.
