Our Tarīqah’s main pillar is Sohbah and KhatmulKhwajagan. These two are the main thing in Naqshbandi Tariqah.
Alhamdulilah we are following the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam. With the Barakah of Mashayikh, all Mashayikh, we are trying to go on the same way Insha Allah; way of happiness, way of the best thing for the life of human beings. To follow the way of Allah is nice and easy but it’s hidden. Many people don’t know it. They think that going to a fancy place or fancy people who speak to make people attracted; they thought this is the way. But to find the real Mashayikh is difficult. Because there are billions of people and hundred thousands of people who are claiming that they are Mashayikh and that they are going on and taking people to the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. But unfortunatelysome times, many times, to find the real one is not easy. But Alhamdulilah we are on the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, way of Mashayikh.
The Mashayikh are not looking at the appearance of people, not looking: this is rich, this is poor. What or how anyone comes to them, they are
Page359
looking to make him as they are and to be with them here and hereafter. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam made this with his companions. The 124,000 companion of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are with Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam because they are following him and they are loving him. We are following them.
But since that time until now, many people are taking people from the right way to the wrong way. But still Alhamdulilah, the way of Prophet will be until Qiyāmah, forever Insha Allah. No need to be anxious. Allah keeps this way. You and me cannot keep it, but Allah saves this way from disappearing. Many things and many ways came and disappeared. They went out of history because they were wrong ways. The right way is the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam. Because the other ways, shaytan is going through them, cheating them and making them lose everything. They are doing their best. They thought they are on the right way but the right way is clear.
Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying: The Halal (lawful) is clear and the Haram (unlawful) is clear, and“between that are matters that are doubtful (not clear).” The Halal, the good thing and what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying is clearly open, there’s no need to doubt it. And what is Haram, what’s not good is also shown to us by Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And we must follow this. And there’s sometimes some little things that people can be doubtful about. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says not to look at these things. Don’t make yourself under the burden of what’s not necessary. The important thing and what the Ummah is in need of, our Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallamtold about. No need to ask about the other things. No need to burden yourself. You are not responsible for this.
Now, we are living in a time when many people are saying about something Haram, but it is not Haram. And many people say about something Halal but it is not Halal; it is not acceptable. We are living in this time. But normally, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was showing us. And since his time until now, until maybe 60 or 50 years ago, all
Page360
people, Ahlus-Sunnah walJama’ah who are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s way accept this and have no problem with this. But now they are saying for Halal Haram, and for Haram Halal. This is a big responsibility for these people who make others do something wrong, not right and harm Muslims. They are harming Muslims because after this they also have doubt. And after this doubt, their belief becomes weaker and weaker and weaker until they are finished.
For this, this is the importance of Tarīqah, Shari’ah and Madhhab. They are very important. These people are denying them. They say, “This is Bid’ah. You cannot do this.” Them saying that this is Bid’ah and Haram is exactly Haram. In Qur’an verses also it is said, Allah curses these people who say for the Halal Haram and for the Haram Halal. And these people are exactly doing this and destroying the belief of people. We think they are not being cheated. They know what they are doing. Their intention is to destroy and finish. They appear like good people and like they are helping people. But after they became in the Muslim World, they made Muslims enemies to each other. And they made other people, people from other countries and other religions enemies for Muslims and Islam. The main mission for them is to do this.
But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla keeps His religion, the real religion of all prophets. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the religion is one religion. The religion is Islam. Aslim means peace. There is only one religion, no others.
Sometimes they say, “We must put these whole three religions in one religion.” No need to do this, because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has already put this. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam, many heavenly books and many teachings came from heavens and in the end they all became in one. He made them one with Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We accept all prophets and accept all heavenly books. He put it as summary in this book, which no one can deny how great it is and how magnificent it is because it is not the word of human beings, it is the word of our Creator Allah ‘Azza wa-
Page361
Jalla. In this book, He put the whole knowledge of what He gave to prophets. And it is a present for human beings, all human beings. Who reads it, even if he doesn’t understand, gets blessed and knows that this is not an ordinary word.
So we are saying, Islam is not like what these people are cheating [others with] and making people be afraid of Islam. Islam is peace for all human beings Insha Allah. May Allah keep us in this way and to not be cheated by other people. We know we are living in a time which is a difficult time. We are keeping quiet. Those who come, we are happy with them. Who doesn’t come, may Allah give him Hidayah (guidance) Insha Allah to be in the way of Allah, not to be in the way of shaytan.
May Allahkeep us safe until Sayyidina Al-Mahdī‘alayhi ssalam comes. His light will lighten all this world Insha Allah.

REMEMBER THAT YOUR RIZQ IS WRITTEN Friday, 19 May 2023 / 29 Shawwal 1444 Prior to Jum’ah Prayer – Mississauga Muslim Community Center, 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.
Our way, way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, is to give Naseeha (advice) and Sohbah for Akhirah. Here, Maa Sha Allah, this country is a foreign country, non-Muslim country but Allah ‘Azza waJalla made your Rizq, provision here. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows best. We must remember this and not forget. Because your Rizq is where Allah wrote it to be. Where Allah writes it for you, you must get it. Nobody else can take your Rizq, your food or your drink. Everything is written by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla for whom it is.
Now in the world it became easy to bring from one part of the world to another part. Maybe [provision] coming thousands of kilometers, ‘This is for Ahmad.’ It is growing in Canada, going to Egypt or going to Turkey or Pakistan. Nobody can eat this. Only whom [its written] in his name will eat it.
For this, it’s important for our people, for Muslim people to know this and to accept this. Not to be afraid, “What will happen to me? If I will die from hunger or if I couldn’t do anything.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is our Creator and He knows everything.So this is our belief, belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah walJama’ah. No fear, no being anxious. Whatever happens in the world, don’t care for anything in this material thing. Care for
Page363
your spirituality, your religion and hold strongly to this way, way of Prophet, way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla that takes you to Paradise. This is the way of happiness, way of prophets, way of Sahabah, way of Awliyā’uLlah. If you go on this way, don’t worry. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying: “Alāinna awliyā’aLlāhilā khawfuna’layhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn‘’ “Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’’ (Qur’ān 10:62). The beloved ones of Allah, there’s no fear and no sadness for them.
Insha Allah for this we are saying that. Because many people are coming here for a better life but actually Allah made them come here. Their provision is here, their Rizq is here, so they are coming here. So they forget Allah and only remember: “What we can get. What we will do.”So you must have both of these so you’ll be happy here and hereafter.
May Allah, make us with His Awliyā’uLlahInsha Allah.
Al-Fatiha.

YOU MUST LEARN Friday, 19 May 2023 / 29 Shawwal 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah gives Barakah for our Majlis. We are here for the sake of Allah for His pleasure. And this gathering, Majlis is a Majlis that Allah ‘Azza waJalla loves. Majlis Talabu l-I’lm, Asking for knowledge. This is what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla likes the most; like here. And He makes the wings of angels under your feet.
Alhamdulilah our intention our whole life is to get knowledge. Because knowledge is an endless ocean. You cannot say, “I know everything. I got everything. I am perfect.” You cannot say this. Because each time, you learn a new thing. A good thing or not a good thing, you will learn. But for us, it is also good to know if it is good or not good. Maybe sometimes you learn something that you think is good but it’s not good, not acceptable for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. This is our scale for what’s good and what’s not good. So you can learn what’s good. If not good, you would’ve learnt the opposite. It is two kinds: it must be either good or not good. Sometimes there’s the between; alsoyou must know what is in between, what doesn’t harm, what is bad, what is not good and what is in between. We must learn all of this. There’s no problem to ask anybody.
Because we are seeing that many people are learning from nonMuslims. They learn something good for the benefit of Islam and Mus-
Page365
limin. It can be, no problem. Because if you are not learning and you are ignorant, you will be in need for people to rule you and to make you under their command.
This is what happened in the end of the time of the Ottomans. Because many people said, “You cannot learn from this.” So they made people to be ignorant and after that they sent students to learn in Europe. These students, unfortunately, didn’t learn good things. They learned only bad things and they destroyed the Ottoman Empire, the Muslim Empire, Khalifah (Caliph). We don’t have any Khalifah now because of these people who were learning not good things.
So we must learn what is good and what is not good. There’s no problem. As we said, look for your children, for your son and daughter. What they are doing, what they are reading, what they are teaching them. We must be careful. It is not a joke. Because we are living in a time when it is all Fitnah time.
They are cheating people in everything. They are saying, “You are wrong” to pure Muslims. “How are we wrong! We are doing the same as our fathers were doing.” His father is also doing what his grandfather was doing. All of this that’s coming was all wrong and these people are going on the wrong way? No. This is just to put Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla described them: ‘’Al-waswāsi lkhannās’’‘‘The retreating whisperer.’’ (Qur’ān 114:04). To put in their minds doubt and to destroy their belief, their Iman.
So what has happened is that they are making people who are claiming they are following Shari’ah to destroy Shari’ah the first thing. They are not sincere. They are some kind of a bad thing like virus coming to Islam and making many Muslims only Muslim, not Mu’min (believer). Mu’min is who believes. The Muslim is who said Kalimah Shahadah: “Ashhadu an la ilahailla Allah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan AbduhuWaRasuluhu.” They don’t believe in the miracles of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And they don’t believe in the holy things;
Page366
what Allah made holy. They do not believe in this. They do not believe in the Hadith. They do not believe in Madhhab. And Tariqah: this is what they deny from the beginning. So there is nothing to defend Islam against this because they made people not believe in everything of these.
We are seeing, as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “In the end of times you will be many, a very big number of Muslims, Muslimin, but you won’t have any value. You will be like the tide of the sea.” When the wave comes to the shore, it makes bubbles. So you think it is something but after five seconds everything finishes and nothing is left. Our Muslims are like this now. There’s no value for them. Nobody cares about them.
The real value is with belief, with Iman. So to be Muslim you must have this belief. Our belief is to accept the unseen things. What are the unseen things? First, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Second, the angels; they are also unseen. This is the belief of the Mu’min, believer. This is belief. Iman means belief. Allah ‘Azza waJalla. The angels. After that, the Jinns also. After that, the belief in the Last Day. To believe that you will come again to this world in your body. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will make you alive again and this life is forever. This is what they believe. And there are still many things that we can say from what’s unseen; what you must believe without seeing. There are many things.
But these people are making people not accept this because they don’t have belief, they are only speaking with their mouths. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that in the end of times, there will be a kind of people who read the Qu’ran and know the Qu’ran by heart – better than [us], I don’t know the Qu’ran by heart – they know the Qur’an, they know the Hadith, they know everything. But Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is looking here and saying, this belief only reaches here [their throats], it doesn’t go down further than their mouths. There is no belief down in their hearts. There is nothing in their hearts. And they are going out of Islam like the arrow goes out from the
Page367
bow. This is what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying. They know but they don’t believe. They know the Qur’an by heart. They know thousands of Hadiths. They know all the books of miracles of prophets and Karamat of ‘Awliya, but they don’t believe.
And they are spreading this through Muslim communities. People are becoming ill with this virus, and after that many of them go without Iman, without belief to Akhirah. Because they are not accepting anything of what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying about Shafa’ah (intercession), about help from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam and from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are claiming they can survive without this, but nobody can survive without this. Especially these people who are denying; how can they survive and they are not accepting all of this? They will directly go to hell. There isn’t any chance for them. We are trying hard to explain this but they are not accepting. Those who don’t accept will regret it. They will know and see the reality that there is no benefit from what they are doing.
So we are asking Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to protect Muslims, to protect youngsters, to protect men and women from this Fitnah. It is the most difficult Fitnah. And we are seeing everywhere, they are only imitating non-Muslims. Everything non-Muslims are doing, they are imitating them. Especially that Islam is the religion of mercy, religion of justice, religion of obeying Allah ‘Azza waJalla. But they are doing against this. They have no mercy, no justice, nothing. Everything that can be and they can do is for the benefit of their way, for benefiting themselves.
But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is with us, against them. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not love these people. ‘‘La Yuhibbu l-Mufsidin’’ ‘’Allah does not like corrupters.’’ (Qur’ān 28:77). These are Mufsidin, which means who destroy people, destroy Muslims, destroy humans. May Allah give them Insha Allah‘Islah (improvement) because there are many people cheated by them. But thosewho are the heads of them are not cheated, they are only shaytan. They are shaytan. They know what they are doing. Destroying Islam: this is their project. But Allah will be with us; He is with
Page368
us. He will punish themInshaAllah.May Allah give good understanding to people. For this, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:“Tafakkursā‘atinkhayrun min ‘ibādatisab‘īnsanah.” To think good thinking for one hour is better than worshipping for 70 years. [Whether] these people are worshipping for 70 years or 70,000, there’s no profit, it is not good for anybody. But if they think and accept reality, it will be better for them and for other people also.
For this, from the beginning we were saying, you must learn. You must learn everything. You must especially learn history, since 100 years or more than 100 years; 120 or 150 or 200 years. This project of Kufr: every time a new one, every time a new one comes to destroy Islam. But the worst one was the last one which is making people to be confused and think if we are right or they are right. Alhamdulilah we are right, don’t worry.
May Allah protect you , May Allah send our Sultan, Mahdi ‘alayhi ssalam to show them who is real and who is not real Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE REAL TEACHING Saturday, 20 May 2023 / 30 Shawwal 1444 International Muslims Organization of Toronto, 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:‘’Fa-innaAllaha Yuh’ibbu l-Muttaqeen’’ (Qur’ān 03:76).‘’Indeed, Allah loves those who fear Him.’‘ Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves who are happy with Him, who are afraid to do something that Allah doesn’t like or love. This is what is the Most Merciful to His Muttaqeen means. Because they know Allah servants and He knows everything. For this, Allah loves these people who are all the time knowing and remembering Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Dhikr means Remembrance: Remembrance of Allah. Who knows that when he does something Allah sees him, he will be aware not to do bad things, not to do a not good thing. For this, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves these people.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is also saying,‘‘InnaAllāha lā yuhibbu l-kāfirīn’’ “Indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.’’ (Qur’ān 03:32).Allah does not like the Kafir. What does Kafir mean? The unbeliever who doesn’t believe and doesn’t accept Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and he does everything bad. Sometimes he looks like he’s doing goodness but when his intention is not good, in the end, what he had done will be a bad thing, not good. Because his intention in what he did is for his ego.
The intention in everything must be for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for the pleasure of Allah. This is the teaching of Tariqah. Every minute and every second, your intention in what you’re doing must be for the sake
Page370
of Allah, the pleasure of Allah. In everything you do. Your life will be full of blessings, full of rewards, full of light and you’ll be lucky. Unlucky are those who are doing bad things. They think they are enjoying themselves. But in reality, every time they are doing a sin, they are getting (more) worse, getting more darkness, getting more unhappy. You cannot put out fire with petrol. Each time you put petrol the fire will grow and become (more) worse. You must put water to extinguish it. Water gives life. So you must put what’s against the fire, not to help the fire. Every time you do a sin or you do a bad thing, your darkness becomes more and more and more. Allah made this for human beings in the life of this world: You cannot be happy with bad things. And for the next life, it is [even] more important to do good things. Maybe in this life you become miserable or you become unhappy. But when you die in this life, it finishes. The real life comes after that. After that, you must be prepared for it.
Today we have been going around a museum, going around a palace here in Toronto. The palace is new, maybe 300 or 200 years ago. Many people were: commander, soldier (in army), governor, prince, princess, prime minister. They come and they go. What did they get? Nothing, just their pictures there. The other one, this museum, is older. First when we went there, there was an animal. They said, “This is from millions of years.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the Creator. What He creates you cannot know what Allah creates with your imagination. His knowledge, His wisdom is unlimited. We cannot even say unlimited for the knowledge of Allah. Because when you say unlimited, you are also putting a limit. SubhanAllah they said that they found this animal millions of years ago. ‘‘A’llama l-‘InsānaMā Lam Ya’lam’,‘’Taught man that which he knew not.’‘ (Qur’ān 96:05).Allah gives knowledge to people to do and to see what was before. Some people said this [animal] is real some said it’s not real. But what’s important here is the wisdom. Because Allah ‘Azza waJalla created the time and place. For Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla there is no time and no place. But for people, this could be from millions of years to show people His Mightiness. Our life, from ’Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until now, is thousands of years. But compared to mil-
Page371
lions, it is nothing. All of our life, from ’Adam ‘alayhi ssalam until now. And people still think that they are doing something; no.
We saw after that also dead people that they brought from Egypt and put there. And people are looking at them. They must learn from this; not only to look just for pleasure or just for visiting. When you go to some place, you must take wisdom, you must take knowledge from there. These people were also like us. They were going, coming and doing everything. But now they are only put for show to people. The important thing is to be with Allah, because nobody can take something with him. Even the Pharaohs, they went and opened their graves and put them for show for people to see them and look at them.
So what’s important is not to lose your life. If your life is full of good things, Allah will be happy with you. If not, you’ll be like these people: no benefit for you and no benefit maybe for others also. Allah is showing us the wisdom from everything.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: Yu’til-hikmata man yashā’u, waman yu’tal‘ hikmata faqad ūtiya khayran kathīrā’’ “He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good.’’ (Qur’ān 02:269).Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives wisdom to whom He wants to give, and whoever gets it gets a big good favor from Allah, a good thing.
We are living in a difficult time. Everywhere, we see people doing sins that nobody before could do. Before 20 years, they couldn’t do it. Before 30 years, no. Before 40 years, it was so difficult to do this thing. But in this time, we live in a time when it is easy to do everything that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not happy with. We must obey Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla because as much as it is difficult to do something, it is of more reward from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
This is the time of trade. Trade for Akhirah, not for Dunya. For Akhirah. Don’t listen to people who give you Fatwā as they like, as their ego
Page372
likes. Look for a real Murshid, for real people. And Alhamdulilah if you many of you didn’t reach Mawlana Sheikh Nazim but Alhamdulilah his teaching is everywhere. Before, it was in his books. Many of his books were going through east and west, making many people come to Islam and come to Hidayah (guidance). But now also, there are his lectures, Sohbah on the internet. You can follow them. Because he is giving the real teaching: Reality. Not to make people hate each other; no. His first teaching in his Sohbah is to respect and love Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam, his companions, Ahlu l-Bayt and Awliyau’Llah. He never taught hatred to anyone of these ones. Because many people are claiming they are Tariqah and are saying something wrong about these ones: about the companions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam or about Ahlu l-Bayt or about Awliyau’Llah.
So his teaching is very important. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was all the time teaching this to the Ummah. He is teaching and giving people to love each other. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is also saying in Qur’an Azimush-Shan,”Law `Anfaqta MāFī Al-`Arđi Jamī`āan Mā `Allafta Bayna Qulūbihim’’‘‘If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together.”(Qur’ān 08:63).If you give all the money or gold to these people to bring them together, you cannot. But Allah makes them to love each other so Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is happy with them. To love each other not to hate each other. But some people are making this difference between Muslims and they are giving hatred to people to be enemies to Muslims. It is not the teaching of Mawlana Sheikh, and of course not the teaching of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Who is with the Mashayikh must follow their teaching and accept what they are saying. Of course, sometimes you cannot follow everything. But this subject very important: to love the companions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam and Ahlu l-Bayt, especially the ‘A’imma (Imams) of Muslimin and ‘A’imma of Tariqah. We cannot go against all of these ones.
Page373
Many times people were asking Mawlana about what happened between the Sahabah after Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He was never happy to hear this. He quickly closed this subject and said, “They are lions. They are fighting each other. We are like dogs. What can we do between them!” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam knows about all of this. This means: look at yourself. Don’t look at something you’re not ordered to do. You are ordered to do many things. You will never reach this subject. There are many things before this [subject] that you must do. When you do them, you’ll know that you are wrong and you’ll repent for Allah asking for forgiveness Insha Allah.
May Allah forgive us, all of us. And to be as Allah loves us to be, as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves us to be and as Mawlana Sheikh Nazim loves us to be. Alhamdulilah his Karamat, his miracles are going on. Many people, I don’t know if here also, see him in their dreams. Thousands of people, every day we meet people. Some nonMuslims become Muslim; Mawlana sends them, “Go and take Shahadah there.” Other people: “Go to the Dergah and enter Tariqah.” This became normal for us. We are not surprised when somebody says this.
We know Mawlana Sheikh is sending them. So we are thanking him for his Madad, for his Himmah and for his Karamat because we are nothing. All of these people are coming with his Barakah. If there is no Barakah of Awliyau’Llah, we cannot bring one man to Hidayah or one man to belief. May Allah keep him over our head Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

HOW TO KNOW WHO’S A REAL SHAYKH? Sunday, 21 May 2023 / 1 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Dhuhr Prayer – Toronto, 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.
May Allah bless you and bless all the Mu’mins (believers) and Muslims, people who are living in far distances away from their countries. This is Allah’s will. Nobody likes to be away from their country, but some reason happens and they are coming to this far country. Now they are here in this country, so may Allah make them to be standing strong, not melting in this area. Because it is difficult to keep belief, Iman Alhamdulilah in this country nobody forces you to change your religion, nobody forces you to do what Islam doesn’t order. But also, your ego, shaytan, Hawa (desires) and Dunya force you to leave all these good things and follow their way which is the way of hell.
So what’s important for people here is to be together with good people. Good people who want goodness for everybody. Because these people are clever people. Those who want goodness for everybody are clever people. Because when a good thing comes for others, for everybody, it will be good for you also. But if you have enmity and you say, “Only for myself”, you are selfish and you want goodness only for yourself. The best example for this is gambling. It [profit] comes for one man, not coming for everyone. There are thousands of people gambling, but it will only come for one man. It is for one out of thousands. It cannot be for you. Maybe, sometimes it’s coming for you. But every time, you’ll be a loser. But if it comes for everybody, you’ll also get with them.
Page375
So this is the way of clever people. And clever people are Awliya’uLlah. They are the way of who love Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and love Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. These people are clever people. And they are following, with this good cleverness, the real way, the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. These people are coming from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until now through Tariqah. All Tariqah people are good. But ofcourse you must also see what they want. Because there are many fake people who claim they are Tariqah and they are real ones, but you see that they only want the good thing for themselves. No problem with what happens for others; they don’t care about this.
We say this for [people] here, but this is not especially for here: for the countries of Non-Muslims or Non-believers. In Muslim countries it is also the same. Good people are those who want goodness for everybody. They try to make their people happy, their country happy, they make everybody happy. We see many examples now in the Islamic world. One man, for his pleasure or his dirty life or his bad character throws millions of people for death, for fire and for any bad thing. And he doesn’t care. He thinks that he will live forever, but he will live for some years only; we don’t even know how much they will live. What they have is enough for them for thousands of years, but they are not satisfied; they still want more. These are not good people. Don’t be like them. Remember what Allah will give you forever; not what’s for a few years and then you’ll suffer for millions of years in hell. Because for each one you oppress, Allah will punish you for thousands of years.
For this, we are with good people. You must follow good people. You must follow a real Shaykh in Tariqah. We have 40 Tariqah, you must find the real one. The real one, as we are saying, how do we know if he is real or not real? If he is good with people, he is good and real. If he is only thinking for himself, he is selfish and he is not a real one. May Allah keep us safe from these bad people. May Allah save us from our ego also. We know many people who were very humble and very good people, but when Allah gives them something, they become the oppo-
Page376
site. They lose their minds and they are not looking what they were, how they were humble and good. They become like tyrants. This was what Mawlana Shaykh was saying many times. If you say that somebody is like Pharaoh and he’s very bad, your ego is worse than him, worse than Pharaoh. Because if you have what Pharaoh has, you will do the same thing. So be careful. Don’t give your self, your ego any chance to say, “Oh I am a big ‘Alim. I am ‘Awliya. I am this. I am that.” If you are in a high [position] this will make you drop and break everything, you cannot stand up again forever. May Allah keep us safe from this bad character.
May Allah help us and help you to be together, to be on the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, way of happiness, way of beauty, way of good people and beloved ones for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The most important thing is to be beloved for Allah, to be beloved for Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam. May Allah bless you and keep you safe, all of you and all Mu’mins,believers and give Hidayah (guidance) for non-believers also.
We see Maa Sha Allah, they have Islamic character but they didn’t yet become Muslims. But their character we see sometimes, their character is better than many Muslims. May Allah give them Hidayah also. Amin.

THE WISDOM OF MOSQUITOES Tuesday, 23 May 2023 / 3 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Maghrib Prayer – Montréal, 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.
Alhamdulilah. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘Wa Qul Rabbi ‘Anzilnī Munzalāan Mubārakāan Wa ‘Anta Khayru Al-Munzilīn’’ (Qur’ān 23:29).‘’And say, ‘’My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].’’ May Allah make our first time here to be Khayr (goodness) for us and for you also Insha Allah. And for this gathering to be of benefit for the Ummah, and Hidayah (guidance) for us and for others also.“Allahumma ‘hdina w ‘hdibina”, “Oh Allah guide us and guide by [means of] us.”May Allah make Hidayah for us to make others also [reach] Hidayah with us Insha Allah.
Alhamdulilah we arrived at Maghrib to this city in Canada. It is a nice city. Everything Allah creates is beautiful. And one of them is this beautiful city: Montréal. When we arrived at Maghrib, Alhamdulilah when we went to pray, Maa Sha Allah [Mawlana laughs] everywhere there are mosquitoes. SubhanAllah, it is a very funny thing. Allah ‘Azza waJalla creates everything with wisdom; nothing without wisdom. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: InnaAllāha LāYastaĥyī ‘An“ Yađriba Mathalāan MāBa`ūđatan Famā Fawqahā”, “Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it.” (Qur’ān 02:26). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in Qur’an, Allah is not – What is “Yastaĥyī” in English? [Murid: He is not ‘ashamed’ to.]
Page378
Mawlana: Maybe there is another word also; there must be. [The word is: He is] not ‘shy’; not ‘shy’. Allah is not ashamed from anything – He is not shy to give this example to human beings.

Our Tarīqah’s main pillar is Sohbah and KhatmulKhwajagan. These two are the main thing in Naqshbandi Tariqah.
Alhamdulilah we are following the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam. With the Barakah of Mashayikh, all Mashayikh, we are trying to go on the same way Insha Allah; way of happiness, way of the best thing for the life of human beings. To follow the way of Allah is nice and easy but it’s hidden. Many people don’t know it. They think that going to a fancy place or fancy people who speak to make people attracted; they thought this is the way. But to find the real Mashayikh is difficult. Because there are billions of people and hundred thousands of people who are claiming that they are Mashayikh and that they are going on and taking people to the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. But unfortunatelysome times, many times, to find the real one is not easy. But Alhamdulilah we are on the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, way of Mashayikh.
The Mashayikh are not looking at the appearance of people, not looking: this is rich, this is poor. What or how anyone comes to them, they are
Page359
looking to make him as they are and to be with them here and hereafter. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam made this with his companions. The 124,000 companion of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are with Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam because they are following him and they are loving him. We are following them.
But since that time until now, many people are taking people from the right way to the wrong way. But still Alhamdulilah, the way of Prophet will be until Qiyāmah, forever Insha Allah. No need to be anxious. Allah keeps this way. You and me cannot keep it, but Allah saves this way from disappearing. Many things and many ways came and disappeared. They went out of history because they were wrong ways. The right way is the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam. Because the other ways, shaytan is going through them, cheating them and making them lose everything. They are doing their best. They thought they are on the right way but the right way is clear.
Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying: The Halal (lawful) is clear and the Haram (unlawful) is clear, and“between that are matters that are doubtful (not clear).” The Halal, the good thing and what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying is clearly open, there’s no need to doubt it. And what is Haram, what’s not good is also shown to us by Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And we must follow this. And there’s sometimes some little things that people can be doubtful about. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says not to look at these things. Don’t make yourself under the burden of what’s not necessary. The important thing and what the Ummah is in need of, our Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallamtold about. No need to ask about the other things. No need to burden yourself. You are not responsible for this.
Now, we are living in a time when many people are saying about something Haram, but it is not Haram. And many people say about something Halal but it is not Halal; it is not acceptable. We are living in this time. But normally, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was showing us. And since his time until now, until maybe 60 or 50 years ago, all
Page360
people, Ahlus-Sunnah walJama’ah who are following Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s way accept this and have no problem with this. But now they are saying for Halal Haram, and for Haram Halal. This is a big responsibility for these people who make others do something wrong, not right and harm Muslims. They are harming Muslims because after this they also have doubt. And after this doubt, their belief becomes weaker and weaker and weaker until they are finished.
For this, this is the importance of Tarīqah, Shari’ah and Madhhab. They are very important. These people are denying them. They say, “This is Bid’ah. You cannot do this.” Them saying that this is Bid’ah and Haram is exactly Haram. In Qur’an verses also it is said, Allah curses these people who say for the Halal Haram and for the Haram Halal. And these people are exactly doing this and destroying the belief of people. We think they are not being cheated. They know what they are doing. Their intention is to destroy and finish. They appear like good people and like they are helping people. But after they became in the Muslim World, they made Muslims enemies to each other. And they made other people, people from other countries and other religions enemies for Muslims and Islam. The main mission for them is to do this.
But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla keeps His religion, the real religion of all prophets. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the religion is one religion. The religion is Islam. Aslim means peace. There is only one religion, no others.
Sometimes they say, “We must put these whole three religions in one religion.” No need to do this, because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has already put this. Since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam, many heavenly books and many teachings came from heavens and in the end they all became in one. He made them one with Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We accept all prophets and accept all heavenly books. He put it as summary in this book, which no one can deny how great it is and how magnificent it is because it is not the word of human beings, it is the word of our Creator Allah ‘Azza wa-
Page361
Jalla. In this book, He put the whole knowledge of what He gave to prophets. And it is a present for human beings, all human beings. Who reads it, even if he doesn’t understand, gets blessed and knows that this is not an ordinary word.
So we are saying, Islam is not like what these people are cheating [others with] and making people be afraid of Islam. Islam is peace for all human beings Insha Allah. May Allah keep us in this way and to not be cheated by other people. We know we are living in a time which is a difficult time. We are keeping quiet. Those who come, we are happy with them. Who doesn’t come, may Allah give him Hidayah (guidance) Insha Allah to be in the way of Allah, not to be in the way of shaytan.
May Allahkeep us safe until Sayyidina Al-Mahdī‘alayhi ssalam comes. His light will lighten all this world Insha Allah.

REMEMBER THAT YOUR RIZQ IS WRITTEN Friday, 19 May 2023 / 29 Shawwal 1444 Prior to Jum’ah Prayer – Mississauga Muslim Community Center, 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.
Our way, way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, is to give Naseeha (advice) and Sohbah for Akhirah. Here, Maa Sha Allah, this country is a foreign country, non-Muslim country but Allah ‘Azza waJalla made your Rizq, provision here. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows best. We must remember this and not forget. Because your Rizq is where Allah wrote it to be. Where Allah writes it for you, you must get it. Nobody else can take your Rizq, your food or your drink. Everything is written by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla for whom it is.
Now in the world it became easy to bring from one part of the world to another part. Maybe [provision] coming thousands of kilometers, ‘This is for Ahmad.’ It is growing in Canada, going to Egypt or going to Turkey or Pakistan. Nobody can eat this. Only whom [its written] in his name will eat it.
For this, it’s important for our people, for Muslim people to know this and to accept this. Not to be afraid, “What will happen to me? If I will die from hunger or if I couldn’t do anything.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is our Creator and He knows everything.So this is our belief, belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah walJama’ah. No fear, no being anxious. Whatever happens in the world, don’t care for anything in this material thing. Care for
Page363
your spirituality, your religion and hold strongly to this way, way of Prophet, way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla that takes you to Paradise. This is the way of happiness, way of prophets, way of Sahabah, way of Awliyā’uLlah. If you go on this way, don’t worry. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying: “Alāinna awliyā’aLlāhilā khawfuna’layhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn‘’ “Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’’ (Qur’ān 10:62). The beloved ones of Allah, there’s no fear and no sadness for them.
Insha Allah for this we are saying that. Because many people are coming here for a better life but actually Allah made them come here. Their provision is here, their Rizq is here, so they are coming here. So they forget Allah and only remember: “What we can get. What we will do.”So you must have both of these so you’ll be happy here and hereafter.
May Allah, make us with His Awliyā’uLlahInsha Allah.
Al-Fatiha.

YOU MUST LEARN Friday, 19 May 2023 / 29 Shawwal 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. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah gives Barakah for our Majlis. We are here for the sake of Allah for His pleasure. And this gathering, Majlis is a Majlis that Allah ‘Azza waJalla loves. Majlis Talabu l-I’lm, Asking for knowledge. This is what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla likes the most; like here. And He makes the wings of angels under your feet.
Alhamdulilah our intention our whole life is to get knowledge. Because knowledge is an endless ocean. You cannot say, “I know everything. I got everything. I am perfect.” You cannot say this. Because each time, you learn a new thing. A good thing or not a good thing, you will learn. But for us, it is also good to know if it is good or not good. Maybe sometimes you learn something that you think is good but it’s not good, not acceptable for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. This is our scale for what’s good and what’s not good. So you can learn what’s good. If not good, you would’ve learnt the opposite. It is two kinds: it must be either good or not good. Sometimes there’s the between; alsoyou must know what is in between, what doesn’t harm, what is bad, what is not good and what is in between. We must learn all of this. There’s no problem to ask anybody.
Because we are seeing that many people are learning from nonMuslims. They learn something good for the benefit of Islam and Mus-
Page365
limin. It can be, no problem. Because if you are not learning and you are ignorant, you will be in need for people to rule you and to make you under their command.
This is what happened in the end of the time of the Ottomans. Because many people said, “You cannot learn from this.” So they made people to be ignorant and after that they sent students to learn in Europe. These students, unfortunately, didn’t learn good things. They learned only bad things and they destroyed the Ottoman Empire, the Muslim Empire, Khalifah (Caliph). We don’t have any Khalifah now because of these people who were learning not good things.
So we must learn what is good and what is not good. There’s no problem. As we said, look for your children, for your son and daughter. What they are doing, what they are reading, what they are teaching them. We must be careful. It is not a joke. Because we are living in a time when it is all Fitnah time.
They are cheating people in everything. They are saying, “You are wrong” to pure Muslims. “How are we wrong! We are doing the same as our fathers were doing.” His father is also doing what his grandfather was doing. All of this that’s coming was all wrong and these people are going on the wrong way? No. This is just to put Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla described them: ‘’Al-waswāsi lkhannās’’‘‘The retreating whisperer.’’ (Qur’ān 114:04). To put in their minds doubt and to destroy their belief, their Iman.
So what has happened is that they are making people who are claiming they are following Shari’ah to destroy Shari’ah the first thing. They are not sincere. They are some kind of a bad thing like virus coming to Islam and making many Muslims only Muslim, not Mu’min (believer). Mu’min is who believes. The Muslim is who said Kalimah Shahadah: “Ashhadu an la ilahailla Allah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan AbduhuWaRasuluhu.” They don’t believe in the miracles of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And they don’t believe in the holy things;
Page366
what Allah made holy. They do not believe in this. They do not believe in the Hadith. They do not believe in Madhhab. And Tariqah: this is what they deny from the beginning. So there is nothing to defend Islam against this because they made people not believe in everything of these.
We are seeing, as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “In the end of times you will be many, a very big number of Muslims, Muslimin, but you won’t have any value. You will be like the tide of the sea.” When the wave comes to the shore, it makes bubbles. So you think it is something but after five seconds everything finishes and nothing is left. Our Muslims are like this now. There’s no value for them. Nobody cares about them.
The real value is with belief, with Iman. So to be Muslim you must have this belief. Our belief is to accept the unseen things. What are the unseen things? First, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Second, the angels; they are also unseen. This is the belief of the Mu’min, believer. This is belief. Iman means belief. Allah ‘Azza waJalla. The angels. After that, the Jinns also. After that, the belief in the Last Day. To believe that you will come again to this world in your body. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will make you alive again and this life is forever. This is what they believe. And there are still many things that we can say from what’s unseen; what you must believe without seeing. There are many things.
But these people are making people not accept this because they don’t have belief, they are only speaking with their mouths. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that in the end of times, there will be a kind of people who read the Qu’ran and know the Qu’ran by heart – better than [us], I don’t know the Qu’ran by heart – they know the Qur’an, they know the Hadith, they know everything. But Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is looking here and saying, this belief only reaches here [their throats], it doesn’t go down further than their mouths. There is no belief down in their hearts. There is nothing in their hearts. And they are going out of Islam like the arrow goes out from the
Page367
bow. This is what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying. They know but they don’t believe. They know the Qur’an by heart. They know thousands of Hadiths. They know all the books of miracles of prophets and Karamat of ‘Awliya, but they don’t believe.
And they are spreading this through Muslim communities. People are becoming ill with this virus, and after that many of them go without Iman, without belief to Akhirah. Because they are not accepting anything of what Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying about Shafa’ah (intercession), about help from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam and from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are claiming they can survive without this, but nobody can survive without this. Especially these people who are denying; how can they survive and they are not accepting all of this? They will directly go to hell. There isn’t any chance for them. We are trying hard to explain this but they are not accepting. Those who don’t accept will regret it. They will know and see the reality that there is no benefit from what they are doing.
So we are asking Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to protect Muslims, to protect youngsters, to protect men and women from this Fitnah. It is the most difficult Fitnah. And we are seeing everywhere, they are only imitating non-Muslims. Everything non-Muslims are doing, they are imitating them. Especially that Islam is the religion of mercy, religion of justice, religion of obeying Allah ‘Azza waJalla. But they are doing against this. They have no mercy, no justice, nothing. Everything that can be and they can do is for the benefit of their way, for benefiting themselves.
But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is with us, against them. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not love these people. ‘‘La Yuhibbu l-Mufsidin’’ ‘’Allah does not like corrupters.’’ (Qur’ān 28:77). These are Mufsidin, which means who destroy people, destroy Muslims, destroy humans. May Allah give them Insha Allah‘Islah (improvement) because there are many people cheated by them. But thosewho are the heads of them are not cheated, they are only shaytan. They are shaytan. They know what they are doing. Destroying Islam: this is their project. But Allah will be with us; He is with
Page368
us. He will punish themInshaAllah.May Allah give good understanding to people. For this, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:“Tafakkursā‘atinkhayrun min ‘ibādatisab‘īnsanah.” To think good thinking for one hour is better than worshipping for 70 years. [Whether] these people are worshipping for 70 years or 70,000, there’s no profit, it is not good for anybody. But if they think and accept reality, it will be better for them and for other people also.
For this, from the beginning we were saying, you must learn. You must learn everything. You must especially learn history, since 100 years or more than 100 years; 120 or 150 or 200 years. This project of Kufr: every time a new one, every time a new one comes to destroy Islam. But the worst one was the last one which is making people to be confused and think if we are right or they are right. Alhamdulilah we are right, don’t worry.
May Allah protect you , May Allah send our Sultan, Mahdi ‘alayhi ssalam to show them who is real and who is not real Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE REAL TEACHING Saturday, 20 May 2023 / 30 Shawwal 1444 International Muslims Organization of Toronto, 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:‘’Fa-innaAllaha Yuh’ibbu l-Muttaqeen’’ (Qur’ān 03:76).‘’Indeed, Allah loves those who fear Him.’‘ Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves who are happy with Him, who are afraid to do something that Allah doesn’t like or love. This is what is the Most Merciful to His Muttaqeen means. Because they know Allah servants and He knows everything. For this, Allah loves these people who are all the time knowing and remembering Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Dhikr means Remembrance: Remembrance of Allah. Who knows that when he does something Allah sees him, he will be aware not to do bad things, not to do a not good thing. For this, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves these people.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is also saying,‘‘InnaAllāha lā yuhibbu l-kāfirīn’’ “Indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.’’ (Qur’ān 03:32).Allah does not like the Kafir. What does Kafir mean? The unbeliever who doesn’t believe and doesn’t accept Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and he does everything bad. Sometimes he looks like he’s doing goodness but when his intention is not good, in the end, what he had done will be a bad thing, not good. Because his intention in what he did is for his ego.
The intention in everything must be for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for the pleasure of Allah. This is the teaching of Tariqah. Every minute and every second, your intention in what you’re doing must be for the sake
Page370
of Allah, the pleasure of Allah. In everything you do. Your life will be full of blessings, full of rewards, full of light and you’ll be lucky. Unlucky are those who are doing bad things. They think they are enjoying themselves. But in reality, every time they are doing a sin, they are getting (more) worse, getting more darkness, getting more unhappy. You cannot put out fire with petrol. Each time you put petrol the fire will grow and become (more) worse. You must put water to extinguish it. Water gives life. So you must put what’s against the fire, not to help the fire. Every time you do a sin or you do a bad thing, your darkness becomes more and more and more. Allah made this for human beings in the life of this world: You cannot be happy with bad things. And for the next life, it is [even] more important to do good things. Maybe in this life you become miserable or you become unhappy. But when you die in this life, it finishes. The real life comes after that. After that, you must be prepared for it.
Today we have been going around a museum, going around a palace here in Toronto. The palace is new, maybe 300 or 200 years ago. Many people were: commander, soldier (in army), governor, prince, princess, prime minister. They come and they go. What did they get? Nothing, just their pictures there. The other one, this museum, is older. First when we went there, there was an animal. They said, “This is from millions of years.” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the Creator. What He creates you cannot know what Allah creates with your imagination. His knowledge, His wisdom is unlimited. We cannot even say unlimited for the knowledge of Allah. Because when you say unlimited, you are also putting a limit. SubhanAllah they said that they found this animal millions of years ago. ‘‘A’llama l-‘InsānaMā Lam Ya’lam’,‘’Taught man that which he knew not.’‘ (Qur’ān 96:05).Allah gives knowledge to people to do and to see what was before. Some people said this [animal] is real some said it’s not real. But what’s important here is the wisdom. Because Allah ‘Azza waJalla created the time and place. For Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla there is no time and no place. But for people, this could be from millions of years to show people His Mightiness. Our life, from ’Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until now, is thousands of years. But compared to mil-
Page371
lions, it is nothing. All of our life, from ’Adam ‘alayhi ssalam until now. And people still think that they are doing something; no.
We saw after that also dead people that they brought from Egypt and put there. And people are looking at them. They must learn from this; not only to look just for pleasure or just for visiting. When you go to some place, you must take wisdom, you must take knowledge from there. These people were also like us. They were going, coming and doing everything. But now they are only put for show to people. The important thing is to be with Allah, because nobody can take something with him. Even the Pharaohs, they went and opened their graves and put them for show for people to see them and look at them.
So what’s important is not to lose your life. If your life is full of good things, Allah will be happy with you. If not, you’ll be like these people: no benefit for you and no benefit maybe for others also. Allah is showing us the wisdom from everything.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: Yu’til-hikmata man yashā’u, waman yu’tal‘ hikmata faqad ūtiya khayran kathīrā’’ “He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good.’’ (Qur’ān 02:269).Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives wisdom to whom He wants to give, and whoever gets it gets a big good favor from Allah, a good thing.
We are living in a difficult time. Everywhere, we see people doing sins that nobody before could do. Before 20 years, they couldn’t do it. Before 30 years, no. Before 40 years, it was so difficult to do this thing. But in this time, we live in a time when it is easy to do everything that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not happy with. We must obey Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla because as much as it is difficult to do something, it is of more reward from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
This is the time of trade. Trade for Akhirah, not for Dunya. For Akhirah. Don’t listen to people who give you Fatwā as they like, as their ego

likes. Look for a real Murshid, for real people. And Alhamdulilah if you many of you didn’t reach Mawlana Sheikh Nazim but Alhamdulilah his teaching is everywhere. Before, it was in his books. Many of his books were going through east and west, making many people come to Islam and come to Hidayah (guidance). But now also, there are his lectures, Sohbah on the internet. You can follow them. Because he is giving the real teaching: Reality. Not to make people hate each other; no. His first teaching in his Sohbah is to respect and love Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam, his companions, Ahlu l-Bayt and Awliyau’Llah. He never taught hatred to anyone of these ones. Because many people are claiming they are Tariqah and are saying something wrong about these ones: about the companions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam or about Ahlu l-Bayt or about Awliyau’Llah.
So his teaching is very important. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was all the time teaching this to the Ummah. He is teaching and giving people to love each other. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is also saying in Qur’an Azimush-Shan,”Law `Anfaqta MāFī Al-`Arđi Jamī`āan Mā `Allafta Bayna Qulūbihim’’‘‘If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together.”(Qur’ān 08:63).If you give all the money or gold to these people to bring them together, you cannot. But Allah makes them to love each other so Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is happy with them. To love each other not to hate each other. But some people are making this difference between Muslims and they are giving hatred to people to be enemies to Muslims. It is not the teaching of Mawlana Sheikh, and of course not the teaching of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Who is with the Mashayikh must follow their teaching and accept what they are saying. Of course, sometimes you cannot follow everything. But this subject very important: to love the companions of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam and Ahlu l-Bayt, especially the ‘A’imma (Imams) of Muslimin and ‘A’imma of Tariqah. We cannot go against all of these ones.
Page373
Many times people were asking Mawlana about what happened between the Sahabah after Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He was never happy to hear this. He quickly closed this subject and said, “They are lions. They are fighting each other. We are like dogs. What can we do between them!” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam knows about all of this. This means: look at yourself. Don’t look at something you’re not ordered to do. You are ordered to do many things. You will never reach this subject. There are many things before this [subject] that you must do. When you do them, you’ll know that you are wrong and you’ll repent for Allah asking for forgiveness Insha Allah.
May Allah forgive us, all of us. And to be as Allah loves us to be, as Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves us to be and as Mawlana Sheikh Nazim loves us to be. Alhamdulilah his Karamat, his miracles are going on. Many people, I don’t know if here also, see him in their dreams. Thousands of people, every day we meet people. Some nonMuslims become Muslim; Mawlana sends them, “Go and take Shahadah there.” Other people: “Go to the Dergah and enter Tariqah.” This became normal for us. We are not surprised when somebody says this.
We know Mawlana Sheikh is sending them. So we are thanking him for his Madad, for his Himmah and for his Karamat because we are nothing. All of these people are coming with his Barakah. If there is no Barakah of Awliyau’Llah, we cannot bring one man to Hidayah or one man to belief. May Allah keep him over our head Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

HOW TO KNOW WHO’S A REAL SHAYKH? Sunday, 21 May 2023 / 1 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Dhuhr Prayer – Toronto, 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.
May Allah bless you and bless all the Mu’mins (believers) and Muslims, people who are living in far distances away from their countries. This is Allah’s will. Nobody likes to be away from their country, but some reason happens and they are coming to this far country. Now they are here in this country, so may Allah make them to be standing strong, not melting in this area. Because it is difficult to keep belief, Iman Alhamdulilah in this country nobody forces you to change your religion, nobody forces you to do what Islam doesn’t order. But also, your ego, shaytan, Hawa (desires) and Dunya force you to leave all these good things and follow their way which is the way of hell.
So what’s important for people here is to be together with good people. Good people who want goodness for everybody. Because these people are clever people. Those who want goodness for everybody are clever people. Because when a good thing comes for others, for everybody, it will be good for you also. But if you have enmity and you say, “Only for myself”, you are selfish and you want goodness only for yourself. The best example for this is gambling. It [profit] comes for one man, not coming for everyone. There are thousands of people gambling, but it will only come for one man. It is for one out of thousands. It cannot be for you. Maybe, sometimes it’s coming for you. But every time, you’ll be a loser. But if it comes for everybody, you’ll also get with them.
Page375
So this is the way of clever people. And clever people are Awliya’uLlah. They are the way of who love Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and love Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. These people are clever people. And they are following, with this good cleverness, the real way, the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. These people are coming from Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until now through Tariqah. All Tariqah people are good. But ofcourse you must also see what they want. Because there are many fake people who claim they are Tariqah and they are real ones, but you see that they only want the good thing for themselves. No problem with what happens for others; they don’t care about this.
We say this for [people] here, but this is not especially for here: for the countries of Non-Muslims or Non-believers. In Muslim countries it is also the same. Good people are those who want goodness for everybody. They try to make their people happy, their country happy, they make everybody happy. We see many examples now in the Islamic world. One man, for his pleasure or his dirty life or his bad character throws millions of people for death, for fire and for any bad thing. And he doesn’t care. He thinks that he will live forever, but he will live for some years only; we don’t even know how much they will live. What they have is enough for them for thousands of years, but they are not satisfied; they still want more. These are not good people. Don’t be like them. Remember what Allah will give you forever; not what’s for a few years and then you’ll suffer for millions of years in hell. Because for each one you oppress, Allah will punish you for thousands of years.
For this, we are with good people. You must follow good people. You must follow a real Shaykh in Tariqah. We have 40 Tariqah, you must find the real one. The real one, as we are saying, how do we know if he is real or not real? If he is good with people, he is good and real. If he is only thinking for himself, he is selfish and he is not a real one. May Allah keep us safe from these bad people. May Allah save us from our ego also. We know many people who were very humble and very good people, but when Allah gives them something, they become the oppo-
Page376
site. They lose their minds and they are not looking what they were, how they were humble and good. They become like tyrants. This was what Mawlana Shaykh was saying many times. If you say that somebody is like Pharaoh and he’s very bad, your ego is worse than him, worse than Pharaoh. Because if you have what Pharaoh has, you will do the same thing. So be careful. Don’t give your self, your ego any chance to say, “Oh I am a big ‘Alim. I am ‘Awliya. I am this. I am that.” If you are in a high [position] this will make you drop and break everything, you cannot stand up again forever. May Allah keep us safe from this bad character.
May Allah help us and help you to be together, to be on the way of Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, way of happiness, way of beauty, way of good people and beloved ones for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The most important thing is to be beloved for Allah, to be beloved for Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam. May Allah bless you and keep you safe, all of you and all Mu’mins,believers and give Hidayah (guidance) for non-believers also.
We see Maa Sha Allah, they have Islamic character but they didn’t yet become Muslims. But their character we see sometimes, their character is better than many Muslims. May Allah give them Hidayah also. Amin.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE WISDOM OF MOSQUITOES Tuesday, 23 May 2023 / 3 Dhul Qa’dah 1444 Maghrib Prayer – Montréal, 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.
Alhamdulilah. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘‘Wa Qul Rabbi ‘Anzilnī Munzalāan Mubārakāan Wa ‘Anta Khayru Al-Munzilīn’’ (Qur’ān 23:29).‘’And say, ‘’My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].’’ May Allah make our first time here to be Khayr (goodness) for us and for you also Insha Allah. And for this gathering to be of benefit for the Ummah, and Hidayah (guidance) for us and for others also.“Allahumma ‘hdina w ‘hdibina”, “Oh Allah guide us and guide by [means of] us.”May Allah make Hidayah for us to make others also [reach] Hidayah with us Insha Allah.
Alhamdulilah we arrived at Maghrib to this city in Canada. It is a nice city. Everything Allah creates is beautiful. And one of them is this beautiful city: Montréal. When we arrived at Maghrib, Alhamdulilah when we went to pray, Maa Sha Allah [Mawlana laughs] everywhere there are mosquitoes. SubhanAllah, it is a very funny thing. Allah ‘Azza waJalla creates everything with wisdom; nothing without wisdom. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: InnaAllāha LāYastaĥyī ‘An“ Yađriba Mathalāan MāBa`ūđatan Famā Fawqahā”, “Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it.” (Qur’ān 02:26). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in Qur’an, Allah is not – What is “Yastaĥyī” in English? [Murid: He is not ‘ashamed’ to.]
Page378
Mawlana: Maybe there is another word also; there must be. [The word is: He is] not ‘shy’; not ‘shy’. Allah is not ashamed from anything – He is not shy to give this example to human beings.
