To be beloved one for Allāh, Allāh in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n, He say verses: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūnaLlāha fa-ttabi‘ūnīyuḥbibkumuLlāhu wa-yaghfirlakum dhunūbakum wa-Llāhu ghafūrunraḥīm“ (3:31). “If you love Allāh you must follow me, follow Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam,“ saying. If you follow Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, Allāh love you and forgive you, for Allāh. He is most merciful. This is very short thing for how to have love of Allāh.
Page301
To have love of Allāhto follow what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam doing, what he acting, what he like, what he love, what he don’t love, what he don’t like, what he eat , what hedrink, how he is acting – all this you must follow. If you follow this, Allāh love you.
As much you can follow, because you cannot follow all of his sunnah a hundred percent, anything it is okay. But there is also something what he love, not from acting. Like, what he, there is some special people, he love them, he is happy with them. You must love them. You cannot say, I don’t love these people. Like ahlu l-bayt, his ṣaḥābah, companion and his Khulafā’u r-Rāshidūn, khalīfah of him: SayyidunāAbū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān, ‘Alī. All this he was, Al-‘Asharatu l-Mubashsharah. All this people, blessed people, holy people, he was love them. So, if you hate them, Allāh not love you.Maybe you cannot make sunnah or other thing properly, but this, very important, to love what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam love. You don’t mix, or you don’t be cheated with people who saying something against ṣaḥābah or ahlu l-bayt or other. This is not good. It is not your business. Our business, what we must to be? When Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam, in his life who he has loved them, you will love them. What he doing, of course, as we said we cannot follow. But this very important. Because, he, even he tell there will be something after him, but he didn’t say to, I hate this, I hate that. No, all they was beloved for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. And to be more closer for Allāh, you must all time, you love Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, because everything with his love become easy. For you, your belief, īmān, become stronger, become better.
If you are not respect him, because this [is] what some people they saying, when you respect Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, you make as shirk. No, since one thousand four hundred years and more, everybody they respect and praise Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam.Millions of books, millions of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah books they`re praising Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam highest size, and nobody become mushrik. Who praise Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam, most praise, and more and more and he was respect him, they become beloved one for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and also people they love
Page302
them. Even, they have their maqām, their place, which people respect him, and nobody become mushrik from these people. It is many million people coming to Islām through them. These beloved one for Allāh, who loved Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, with love of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallammillions billions they`re coming to Islām. Not all world become with fighting with sword to Islām. More than ninety percent, without. Only with this holy people they are coming to Islām. They are looking what they are doing, and they are become, for love of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, Muslim.
And this is one, Alhamdulilah, we are, Insha Allah, love Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam, Allāh love us, Insha Allah. And there is a second thing, “Qulaṭī‘ūLlāhawa-rrasūla, fa-in tawallaw fainnaLlāhalāyuḥibbu l-kāfirīn“ (3:32). Obey Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, obey Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, saying in Qur’ān this āyah. If they are running away Allāh, He doesn’t like kāfir, non-believer. Nonbeliever, Allāh, He don’t love , like them , because they are not respecting, not accepting. So, Allāh why He will love? He gave everything for them and they don’t love, and He don’t love them. We also not love them. We are, what Allāh love you must love. What Allāh love, what Allāh like, we must like.So, no, there is many people saying humanist, they must love everybody. Of course we love everybody. Who Allāh love, we love them. If these people accept Allāh, become believer, we love them also. But this, no. There is two kind of people in world: who with Allāh, and against Allāh. Alhamdulilah, we are with Allāh. We are against these people. And they are against us, normally. If even they are hypocrite, they said we love, humanist-humanist; but they can kill whole world for themselves, for their ego.Allāh know better. For this He said, I don’t love non-believer.
Allāh make us with people who love Him, Insha Allah.

THE END OF THE UMMAH Monday, 25 April 2023 / 5 Shawwal 1444
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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who created everything. He created time and space. But He, is beyond time and space. Time and space were passed on to the created beings. They are meant for the creation. What is for Allāh, He knows Himself. OnlyHe knows Himself. We cannot know His condition. We know as much as He lets us know. Allāh‘Azza waJalla created the universe. Everything in it has its life and appointed time. Just like a person has a lifespan, everything has a lifespan. When their lives are over in this world, they will be gone. But the power of Allāh will go on. Allāh is al-Qādir. Allāh is the Creator. Creator means He always creates, not only us, but also those before us and those after us; all over the universe there are creatures known only to Allāh. He knows how and what they are. And He shows you as much as He wants. What He doesn`t show you cannot know.
People only know as much as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla allows them to know. The more He says we will learn, the more we know. Only Allāh knows how many thousands of years have passed since the time of Ādam‘alayhi s-salām until now – people say various things – but something like seven or eight thousand years. Before our Holy Prophet, there were perhaps six thousand years. And now, the time of the children of Ādam‘alayhi s-salām is coming to an end. Qiyāmah is approaching. After us, Allāh will do whatever He wants. Certainly,His attribute is Khallaq. He is al-Khāliq. His attribute of creating is continuous. He is
Page304
always creating. It is not like He created us, and stopped. With every rain drop, an angel descends. An angel is created. With every snowflake, an angel descends. And it remains on earth. They are creatures too. They are Allāh`s creatures. The number of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla`s creatures is incalculable. It must have millions and billions of zeros.
But our own time, time of this ummah is coming to its end. Because our Holy Prophet said, “The distance between me and qiyāmah is as close as two fingers. As close as ‘Aṣr and maghrib prayers are, as close as the sun is to setting after ‘Aṣr, Qiyāmah is that near.“ Therefore, this world has taken everything there is to take. It has taken its decoration and ornament. And from now on, its end is coming. Qiyāmah is approaching. Therefore, people are oblivious to whether Qiyāmah is approaching. “Wa-hum fīlaghwunmu‘riḍūn,“ says Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. No one thinks about anything except their own entertainment. Aware or unaware of it, they are busy with this world. They have forgotten about the next world (ākhirah). But there is ākhirah. Don`t forget about ākhirah.
Besides, the time of this ummah and the children of Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām is coming to end. Everything has an end, and our time is coming to end. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows what He will do after that end. And this is what we believe in. Shukr to Allāh, this belief is the belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah. When the time is near, signs will appear. Mahdī‘alayhi s-salām will come. The Dajjāl will come. Dābbatu l-Arḍ (Beast of the Earth) will come. Each of them will come, one by one. And then Qiyāmah will occur. May Allāh not separate us from belief. May Allāh protect us from the trouble, fitnah of the end of times. Its fitnah is very difficult. Many people lose their footing and are destroyed. May Allāh protect us. May Allāh protect all of us, Insha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He create everything. And He create time and place. Time and... were sitting, ya‘nī, day and time and everything. Because, but this time and place not for Him, only for creature. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, He not in need to this. He create them. So, He create for to creature, not for Him. No time, no place, nothing; we don’t know any-
Page305
thing about “how“ and “what“ for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And we not allowed to ask for this. No need to ask for this, also. Important thing: Allāh make this for creature. And everything He create. His attribute, Creator. Khallāq, meaning who create. And this attribute, it is continuously. Not only create one, our planet, and we only, in this whole universe, we have this. No. He has countless creatures, countless planets, countless life, different kinds of life in this universe. And the universe, this, nobody know how it is big, how it is... where it is.
But we are only saying, everything, as coming to exist, and they will finish, also. They have time to birth, time to death. As planet, as sun, as moon, as insect, as animal, as human being – Everything they have time, age. As we are now living in end of age of son of Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. This, from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now, approximately maybe seven thousand, eight thousand, nine thousand, I don’t know. There is many different sayings about this. Maybe more, maybe less. But it is important thing: time of this ummah or time of this human being who they are coming from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, coming to end. Day of Resurrection, coming, approaching for this ummah. Because, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam saying: ‟I am the last messenger, and between me and between Qiyāmah, like sun after ‘Aṣr– near to end, sun, coming to sunset. It is like this, between me and between Day of Resurrection.” Which it is... and when you see this, maybe between ten thousand or less or more thousand years until now, coming from Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām. And time now is going, finished.
And everything in this. Allāh, for this, He gave this knowledge for people to do this technology, all everything, to finish their time. He give them, in this one century, He give us ten thousand years more, knowledge from ten thousand years. And it is people they are thinking they are clever and they are doing this by themselves. This, only they can do what Allāh allowed for them to do, not more. And Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, He has knowledge which we are... cannot compare for even one drop from ocean. Not even one drop. When put one nail and take, how much water coming, it’s less. And even not see this, what
Page306
knowledge, all this technology, all this, what they are proud for this. Only Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, what He allowed, little bit, and it is enough to, human being and to make them think they are something. But, Alhamdulilah, we are... The believer must not be trust for this people. They must trust for Allāh, not technology. Technology, everything what Allāh allowed, it will work. When it is time to stop, everything it will stop.
And this time coming because, we are, as we said, end of ummah. Which it will be, also big signs to, like Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām, like Dajjāl, like Antichrist, and many thing it will be come, and it is time not so far, Insha Allah. So we are... we must be careful not to fall in with wrong people, in wrong place. We must be aware. We are... This time very dangerous time, fitnah and other thing.
When you are with Mawlānā, what he said, to be with your jamā‘ah, you will be safe, Insha Allah. This is, Insha Allah, we have this good tiding and it will come good time, here and hereafter, Insha Allah.

EVERYTHING IS IN QUR’ĀN Wednesday, 27 April 2023 / 7 Shawwal 1444
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 Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam says, “Learn and teach the Qur’ān.” The Qur’ān is the holy book sent by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla to this ummah through our Holy Prophet. Everything is in it, says Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. There is healing and blessing in it. There are rewards. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam says there are ten rewards for every letter of Qur’ān. Not just every word, but in every letter, says our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. There is AlifLām-Mīm. Alif is one; ten rewards are written for it. Ten rewards are written for Lām, says our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. And same for Mīm. If a word consists of three letters, thirty thawāb are given. Not just for a word, but for every letter ten thawāb are written. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla gives such favours to someone who reads Qur’ān and listens to Qur’ān.
We must certainly read it. It is one of the duties of the murīds, anyway, to read one juz’ daily as part of our daily recitation, waẓīfah, shukr to Allāh. We must do it. It is actually easy to learn the Qur’ān. It is rare that people can`t learn. And that is by the wisdom of Allāh. But normally, learning Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n is not a difficult thing. Some people learn to read in three days. Some can learn in a week. Normally, on average, people can learn it in a month. As we said, some people can learn quicker than that, and some even more quickly. But others can learn in three to five months, or even in a year.
Page308
We must try our best. It opens our minds, and blessing comes. It is healing. It is blessing, barakah. All kinds of goodness are in it. It is the eternal word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is Allah`s Word, given by Him to people, to believers, as miracle that we can hold in our hands. Miracles are everywhere. But this is a direct connection.
Keeping up the recitation of the Word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is a great favour. If you stop to think about it, you realize it is such a great gift. It is such a great favour. The Word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is always in your hands. You can read any part of it. You can touch it with your hands. We must appreciate it. It is so precious. The most precious thing is the Word of Allāh. You should both listen to it and read it. One of its specialities is that it doesn`t matter if you understand its meaning. You don`t have to understand its meaning. When you read, you attain those rewards, thawāb. May Allāh make all of us from the people of Qur’ān. May He not keep us away from the Qur’ān.
Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam saying, about Qur’ān: “It is the best thing Allāh gave for human being.” Who wants to know anything, in Qur’ān – everything. And it is very blessed book, because holy, heavenly book coming from our Lord, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, for His word. From word for, He know from what time – no time for Allāh, no place.This…but His miraculously for ummat Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam– He gave them this. And He reward them for each letter, ten reward. Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam saying, as if you – there is word beginning, Alif-Lām-Mīm. Alif – one letter, ten reward, he said, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. Lām, also ten reward. Mīm, ten reward. Not one word. Each letter, ten reward. So if you read one chapter, it will be – must be – thousands of reward. Ten thousand, maybe hundred thousands of reward, when you read Qur’ān, Allāh reward you.
And Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n, it is everything, every good thing, you find inside. From Allāhgiveyou health, Allāh cure you, Allāh give barakah
Page309
for you, Allāh make you happy. Everything you can imagine from good thing, it is in Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n. And it is very good thing for, we have in our hand, in house, everywhere in shelf – Qur’ān ‘aẓīmushsha’n. Who it is coming, heavenly, from heaven, word of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. The real one, not changed. Because since Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām, coming many heavenly books. But most of them, they got disappear. All which not disappeared, they was changed by people, who, long time, they cannot preserve it and they change it. Only Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n was keep original as what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam saying. And Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, it was coming Jibrīl‘alayhi s-salām to him every year. He was reading by heart to see this, no changing. And since that time, nothing changed from Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n. Directly from heavenly book for human being.
For every good thing, we are using Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n. We reading to get blessed. We reading to pray. Without Qur’ān, we cannot make ṣalāt, praying. And everything, right inside. Even they find knowledge for everything. Material thing also, they have knowledge. Everything in Qur’ān. “Wa-lāraṭbinwa-lāyābisinillāfīkitābinmubīn” (6:59). Allāh saying: “No green, no dry, nothing left without mentioning in this Qur’ān.”
And it is, Alhamdulilah, for Ummat Muḥammad, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla sending and keep it. And we are also, our ṭarīqah must... Everyday you must read one chapter of Qur’ān. And this chapter... Many people they know to read, they learn. Maa Sha Allah, even they are not Arab. They are from another language, but they are – everybody – they are learning Qur’ān. Even without understanding, they are continuing with Qur’ān, reading Qur’ān.
And we must try. Who not knowing to read, he can learn. Qur’ān, it is not difficult, because some people even in three days, they can learn. They can read this Arabic Qur’ān. Some of them, maybe more, one week. But normally, it is around one month. One month, if they – people who like to learn, he can easily learn. But maybe sometimes it is difficult. Two months, three months – one year at the maximum. But very
Page310
rarely people, they cannot. Even that, they not learning with this. So, it is, Allāh forgive them. But they, from their intention, Allāh give them, Insha Allah. Reward them, Insha Allah.
And it is opening your mind also, when you read. And giving satisfaction your heart, giving light for your heart, for your face. Face... Everything good with reading Qur’ān. So, Insha Allah, Allāh make us from who carrying this Qur’ān and blessed from Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n, Insha Allah.

THE PERFECT DIET Friday, 29 April 2023 / 9 Shawwal 1444
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-la-yughayyirunnakhalqaLlāh“ (4:119), says Allāh in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. They want to change what Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything as beautiful. He created it all perfect. And everything He gave to people is enough. Mankind does not appreciate it and strives to make other things. They are experimenting with everything. They are inventing things. And they are changing the creation of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla so things take on a different form. It is the end of times. In the last thirty or forty years, mankind has become more interested in these things. They don`t like the creation of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They make other things and think they will be better and more beautiful. The more they mix things up, the worse it gets. They are not doing right. They used to say in old times, while fixing one side, they break the other side. And they are not just breaking things but burying themselves completely under rubble. It affects everything.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam tells how people should live. How to eat, how to drink; everything is told by our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. You must eat enough and leave the table without feeling full or having overeaten. You must leave one third of stomach for food, one third for water and one third for air so that you are comfortable. You won`t need a diet then. Nowadays, people give
Page312
whatever advice they like. They say, you must eat this and not that. You must do this and ignore that. For example, they say you must not eat bread at all, whereas bread is a blessing given by Allāhto people. It is His barakah. Without it... People have been eating it since Ādam‘alayhi s-salām. But you cut it out. And you replace it with meat. Sometimes they eat only meat or only vegetables, or I don`t know what. I don`t know what they do. And then they claim they feel better. You cannot be better when you don`t eat from each of the favours of Allāh‘Azza waJalla. You must eat from everything, but not in a way that makes your stomach full.
As our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam says, you must fill one third of your stomach with food, one third with water and one third with air. And you must leave the table half full. If you do this, you will have perfect health. If you don`t – if you cannot control your ego and you overeat – neither diet, nor regimen, nor medicine will help. You will live with an illness or too much weight. You will try a different method every time, saying, “This doctor told us this. This professor told us that. This man or that woman said it is better this way.“ You will spend your life experimenting, whereas if you listen to the words of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, you will be at ease. And as we said, they are adding drugs or I don`t know what to the foods created by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are changing their nature. They are playing with the beneficial things created by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and making them harmful. And that becomes another illness and problem for mankind. As long as mankind is with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla...
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the creator. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown everything we must do through our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam. Those who follow him, who believe in him and who obey him will be in comfort. They will be in comfort both here and hereafter. May Allāh make us from them. May He give us the ability to do so, Insha Allah. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla in Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n, saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Fa-la-yughayyirunnakhalqaLlāh“ (4:119). They want to change what Allāh create.
Page313
Allāh create this world by the best shape. The best for using for human being. For other creature, also. He created, perfect. Nothing wrong in this. Our, what Allāh create from this earth or from mountain or from galaxy, from everything... He, Creator, and He very good, very perfect. Everything by His order, moving. Even they said in, when you – there is in space many, like stone, coming this. They said, maybe, this will be hit earth or hit other thing. All this, by order of Allāh.
When Allāh order, it can be. When He not order, don’t afraid. It will be not. If you afraid [or] you not afraid, it will be no benefit for you. Only afraid from Allāh make it perfect. And He also give for our planet, when it will be end. Because many time they – in newspaper – they said, “We are thinking, there is one sky, stone coming... rock coming from space, and will be hit earth and it will destroy.“ This is nonsense. We have knowledge, when it will be qiyāmah, not with this.
But this [not] our subject. Our subject – what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create, everything perfect. Nothing wrong with what Allāh create. But people, especially since – since long time – but the most changing coming since maybe forty years, or fifty or thirty years. Many thing they are trying to change what Allāh create. They doing something very wrong, very bad thing, but they thought they are doing good. How you are think you are doing good? Allāhḥāshā, He doing wrong? You are crazy. You must – everything He created cannot – no attribute wrong in Allāh attribute. Wrong for human being. There is attribute impossible for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. We cannot say wrong. This lowest attribute, only for human being or for jinn or for other. But for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, the perfect thing He has, his attribute. Nothing. And this is...
So, they are doing many thing wrong. They thought they are doing good. And they destroying humanity, they destroying earth, they destroying nature, they destroying everything. This, because they want to change what Allāh create. And it... they are doing all this for benefit of shayṭān, not benefit of human being. Everything they are doing, they
Page314
are – maybe people they are happy with them. But they are – later they become, saying “Oh, they are doing wrong, this. This not right.“ Everything they doing, like this. Even with, also what we, in our life, what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam showing us how to be healthy, and to be fit and to be good. His advice – human being, all human being, not only Muslim – to, when they eat, they musn’t be full with eat. They must be little bit hungry when they leave food. But, and when you eat, you must eat in your... third for food, third for water or liquid and third for air, in your stomach. This is perfect diet. What many people now, they are looking, running after diet.
And they are saying, “Today, you must not eat bread. Bread is very bad now. Don’t eat this. The first thing you must cut – this bread.“ And bread, it is food since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. Allāh, He blessed this, and He gave this for Ādam‘alayhi s-salām. The first plant for Ādam‘alayhi ssalām was wheat. But these people, they say, “No, don’t. Everyone, don’t eat bread. Don’t eat wheat.“ But, it is the most important for human being since time of Ādam‘alayhi s-salām. First man on Earth until now, it is most important food. “Don’t eat this,“ they said. After, “Don’t eat meat.“ Sometimes, no meat at all. Don’t eat. Only vegetable. And after, “No, no, not vegetable. Don’t eat vegetable. Eat meat only. Meat, it the best thing.“ After, they said, “Don’t eat milk, or cheese, or something...“ Everytime, this crazy people making people more crazy. And it is not giving any benefit. They giving harming. Harming body, because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla make us not like animal. Some animal eating only grass. Some animal eating only meat. But human being, Allāh, His specialty for human being – they eat meat and grass, or vegetable. So, our body in need for this, for all of this. When you doing what these people doing, you become sick. You become ill. You come, many disease. Later, you be regret what you done for yourself.
The best diet, as we said, what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, saying. Third for food, third for liquid, third for air. If you can continue... You must continue this. Because, other, they are very difficult to make, this – to eat only meat or to eat only vegetable. But, this is the best diet for human being. And when you do this, you will be healthy and
Page315
you will be more strong. But also, you must not be full with food. Of course, also this – what they are changing from food. They take good thing, they put bad thing in food. So some food may become like poison for people. For this, you must be careful and look for real one. Not with changing, with this people. Hesaid, Allāh, “YurīdunāyughayyirūKhalquLlāh.“ Don’t look for this. You must find, and Alhamdulilah now they are – many people also – they are looking for old, not changed one, from food. And if you continue this, you will be healthy.
And when you follow order of Allāh and saying of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, you be healthy and good here. It will be good for you, here and hereafter. Not only for ākhirah, for dunyā also. You will be healthy. Health, our ni‘mah from Allāh. We must keep it, we must look after ourself, to be healthy, to be strong, to continue our life, our worshiping, with perfect shape. Not with illness and for be burden for other people.
The best thing for mu’min: to be enough for himself, Insha Allah. Allāh make us from this, to keep us – our īmān, our health – strong, Insha Allah.

REAL MEN Saturday, 30 April 2023 / 10 Shawwal 1444
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: “Mina l-mu’minīnarijālun ṣadaqū mā‘ āhadūLlāha‘ alayhi fa-minhum man qaḍánaḥbahuwa-minhum man yantaẓir“ (33:23). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla says, there are such believers, such good people, who have remained firm to their word. And those words, they have held firm to the way which is the way of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. Certainly, everyone dies. Therefore, some of them have passed away and some are still waiting to pass away. People who pass away on this way by keeping their word are the accepted people. People who are not cheated by dunyā, shayṭān, and desires and who don`t leave the way, are the people praised by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And they are rare people, of course. But there are many such good people, shukr to Allāh. We have humble people who serve others, who do everything they can to bring people to the right path, shukr to Allāh. They are always everywhere.
One of our murīds like this who has been here since the time of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, a person who remained firm and didn`t leave the path, a beautiful man passed away the day before yesterday. And we prayed ṣalātu l-ghā’ib [for him] yesterday. Nūḥ Efendi. He was such a humble man. He invited many non-Muslims to īmān and Islām. Many people were honoured with īmān through his hand and through his beautiful manners. Allāh gives. His wisdom to whomever He wants. And He gave him from that wisdom. He served people by telling them
Page317
about Islām and bringing them to the right path, without leaving the path himself. May Allāh be pleased with him. May Allāh be pleased with him for he was never proud. He didn`t let any of his deeds go in vain. He was a man who was always humble, who knew the way and showed the way to people. He was a man of service. His humbleness was an example. And the clothing he wore, whatever the wisdom is, he had a patched jubbah, that he used to wear. May Allāh make paradise his abode.
How lucky is he, for he is gone with the attributes mentioned in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. This is important. For everyone, to pass away with such an attribute is the greatest profit for them. If they go without it, even if they say, “The whole world belonged to him. The whole world was under his command.“ So what? They are dead now. There is no profit not for them, nor for others. There is no profit. Profit is in passing away with good deeds and with this attribute. This is what it is beneficial. May Allah give that state to all of us. May Allāh make us from Allāh`s beloved servants, Insha Allah.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Mina l-mu’minīnarijālun ṣadaqū mā‘ āhadūLlāha‘ alayhi fa-minhum man qaḍánaḥbahuwa-minhum man yantaẓir“ (33:23). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm. This is āyah, describing the real men who are believer and they have oath for Allāh, for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, to be in way of them, way of Allāh, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. And they are, some of them pass away, some of them waiting. Because everybody will pass away, will die. But what Allāh describe in this verse from Qur’ān, praise these people who holding strongly this way, not leaving way of Allāh, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam.
They describe them as men who, strong men, they are keeping this way. Holding this way, not leaving. Every, which many people, they cannot keep their word, keep their oath for end. But these people, who praise them Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, they are like this. They are real people, real men. Men, we say it for strong thing. Even there are many women, they are more stronger than men, for this, to keep their oath, their word. Who
Page318
they keep this word, they are all praised in Divine Presence of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And we say this for one, our from brothers, from time of Mawlānā, he was same. And until the end, he was same, not changing at all. Every time he coming here, going. We going to him. He, all time, he was in this way. And very humble one and he is, what he done, big thing he done. Many people from non-Muslim, non-believer, they make them believer. From his humbleness, from his good manner, good thinking, good teaching, many of this people. But he wasn’t proud at all. He look, when you see him, even when he speak, you cannot hear his voice.
Alḥamdulilah, he was praised with Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, with this āyah. And awliyā’uLlāh, Mawlānā was happy with him, because he is not changing. Mawlānā, he was saying: “Continue this way, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. Nobody living forever, here. You must not leave when Shaykh pass away or anything happen, you continue same way.“ Don’t leave, don’t even. And this one, he was real one of these people. And Allāh... He was giving very good teaching for people. People they was loving him, but this, Allāh He want him and he went to his Lord with happiness. Because this is happiness to find, to be praised in Divine Presence of Allāh. The real happiness, this. This real good thing for anybody from human being. When time coming to change the world, going to next life. Very important to be in end with Allāh with people who Allāh love them. If you have everything, but you don’t have this, you are loser. You are not, you cannot be happy in next life. The happiness, most happiness, the end. It must be good end. Not, even when you pass away, if all this country for you, you cannot do anything. You cannot change your next life. But when you are here and doing good thing and you be beloved for Allāh, you won everything.
Allāh make us from this people and Allāh, Insha Allah, because we are going same place, we will meet with this good people, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE RIGHTS OF WORKERS Monday, 1 May 2023 / 11 Shawwal 1444
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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who gives everything to people. No one can prevent what He withholds. Mankind forgets Allāh‘Azza waJalla and is grateful to others or expects and asks for help from them. They place importance on them, whereas everything is in the hands of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. We must make shukr to Allah. We must praise Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made two feasts. There are two feasts. But people made up other holidays in order to forget those of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And every time they make up something different. There are two feasts.
Today is Workers` Day. We all have to make shukr to Allāh, for He gave us skill and talent. He gave us work to do. If Allāh didn`t give you work, where would you find it? Where would you find bread? Where would you find food? We must make shukr for this. We must make shukr to Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. As we said, no one can prevent what Allāh gives. And no one can give what He doesn`t give. No one can stop what He gives. And no one can provide what He doesn`t give.
Some people place importance on these days. It is okay when it is like a normal holiday. But giving it importance and making it special is stupid. It is completely useless. Sometimes people commit sins for nothing. Because they think they are important on that day and say, “How cool I am to do so much work.“ If you did it, Allāh meant it for you to do.
Page320
There are many people who can`t work. There are many jobless people who can`t find work. And there are many hungry ones. They wish to have any job. And those who work say, “We work too much.“ If you do, you are doing it for yourself. And if you are doing it for Allāh, the work you do counts as worship. You will eat from ḥalāl food. Otherwise, people work for their egos. They say, “Others are taking my rights. They are using me.“
The most important thing in Islām is the right of workers. In Islām, it is said you must pay a worker before his sweat is dry. Of course, if that is not applicable nowadays, you must certainly pay their salaries. You must pay them everything they are owed. The right of workers is the most important thing in Islām. Our Holy Prophet strongly emphasised this point. He placed importance on it. There are many people who take workers` rights. And then they make a holiday for them or I don`t know what. These are useless things.
But what is important are their goals and intentions. The goals and intentions for this thing began in opposition to Allāh. And then it became a tradition. Allāhه gives according to the intentions of people. So they must make their intention to get some rest for the pleasure of Allāh We are getting our rights, shukr to Allāh. Allāh gave us work and strength. They must make shukr to Allāh. And they shouldn`t go into other matters and dangerous things. They mustn`t be with things and people that Allāh dislikes. They must not imitate them. “We are not like them. May Allāh protect us. We had a day off today because it is a holiday. But we don`t accept it as a feast.“ They must say so. There are two feasts. There is no holiday apart from them. They call it Workers` Day and I don`t know what. It is a completely useless thing. Usually there are all kinds of bad things that happen on this day. You will see on the news tonight that they destroyed here and there.
Therefore people, Muslims, must pay attention to this. They must make their intention to gain the pleasure of Allāh in everything they have to do. We do whatever the pleasure of Allāh is. We make shukr to Allāh.
Page321
He gave us work, food and a spouse. Shukr to Allāh for these. With shukr, favours increase. Otherwise, there will be neither blessings, nor favours. May Allāh protect us.
We are... Alhamdulilah, we are thanking Allāh for what He gave us from His good thing, gift for everything. And we are knowing everything, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, He gave us. What He gave, nobody can prevent from you. What He will not give you, nobody is able to do. Nothing else. Without His knowing, nothing happens. And He gave us two days of feast .

To be beloved one for Allāh, Allāh in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n, He say verses: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūnaLlāha fa-ttabi‘ūnīyuḥbibkumuLlāhu wa-yaghfirlakum dhunūbakum wa-Llāhu ghafūrunraḥīm“ (3:31). “If you love Allāh you must follow me, follow Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam,“ saying. If you follow Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, Allāh love you and forgive you, for Allāh. He is most merciful. This is very short thing for how to have love of Allāh.
Page301
To have love of Allāhto follow what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam doing, what he acting, what he like, what he love, what he don’t love, what he don’t like, what he eat , what hedrink, how he is acting – all this you must follow. If you follow this, Allāh love you.
As much you can follow, because you cannot follow all of his sunnah a hundred percent, anything it is okay. But there is also something what he love, not from acting. Like, what he, there is some special people, he love them, he is happy with them. You must love them. You cannot say, I don’t love these people. Like ahlu l-bayt, his ṣaḥābah, companion and his Khulafā’u r-Rāshidūn, khalīfah of him: SayyidunāAbū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān, ‘Alī. All this he was, Al-‘Asharatu l-Mubashsharah. All this people, blessed people, holy people, he was love them. So, if you hate them, Allāh not love you.Maybe you cannot make sunnah or other thing properly, but this, very important, to love what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam love. You don’t mix, or you don’t be cheated with people who saying something against ṣaḥābah or ahlu l-bayt or other. This is not good. It is not your business. Our business, what we must to be? When Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam, in his life who he has loved them, you will love them. What he doing, of course, as we said we cannot follow. But this very important. Because, he, even he tell there will be something after him, but he didn’t say to, I hate this, I hate that. No, all they was beloved for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. And to be more closer for Allāh, you must all time, you love Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, because everything with his love become easy. For you, your belief, īmān, become stronger, become better.
If you are not respect him, because this [is] what some people they saying, when you respect Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, you make as shirk. No, since one thousand four hundred years and more, everybody they respect and praise Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam.Millions of books, millions of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah books they`re praising Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam highest size, and nobody become mushrik. Who praise Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam, most praise, and more and more and he was respect him, they become beloved one for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and also people they love
Page302
them. Even, they have their maqām, their place, which people respect him, and nobody become mushrik from these people. It is many million people coming to Islām through them. These beloved one for Allāh, who loved Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, with love of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallammillions billions they`re coming to Islām. Not all world become with fighting with sword to Islām. More than ninety percent, without. Only with this holy people they are coming to Islām. They are looking what they are doing, and they are become, for love of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, Muslim.
And this is one, Alhamdulilah, we are, Insha Allah, love Prophet ṣalláLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam, Allāh love us, Insha Allah. And there is a second thing, “Qulaṭī‘ūLlāhawa-rrasūla, fa-in tawallaw fainnaLlāhalāyuḥibbu l-kāfirīn“ (3:32). Obey Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, obey Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, saying in Qur’ān this āyah. If they are running away Allāh, He doesn’t like kāfir, non-believer. Nonbeliever, Allāh, He don’t love , like them , because they are not respecting, not accepting. So, Allāh why He will love? He gave everything for them and they don’t love, and He don’t love them. We also not love them. We are, what Allāh love you must love. What Allāh love, what Allāh like, we must like.So, no, there is many people saying humanist, they must love everybody. Of course we love everybody. Who Allāh love, we love them. If these people accept Allāh, become believer, we love them also. But this, no. There is two kind of people in world: who with Allāh, and against Allāh. Alhamdulilah, we are with Allāh. We are against these people. And they are against us, normally. If even they are hypocrite, they said we love, humanist-humanist; but they can kill whole world for themselves, for their ego.Allāh know better. For this He said, I don’t love non-believer.
Allāh make us with people who love Him, Insha Allah.

THE END OF THE UMMAH Monday, 25 April 2023 / 5 Shawwal 1444
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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who created everything. He created time and space. But He, is beyond time and space. Time and space were passed on to the created beings. They are meant for the creation. What is for Allāh, He knows Himself. OnlyHe knows Himself. We cannot know His condition. We know as much as He lets us know. Allāh‘Azza waJalla created the universe. Everything in it has its life and appointed time. Just like a person has a lifespan, everything has a lifespan. When their lives are over in this world, they will be gone. But the power of Allāh will go on. Allāh is al-Qādir. Allāh is the Creator. Creator means He always creates, not only us, but also those before us and those after us; all over the universe there are creatures known only to Allāh. He knows how and what they are. And He shows you as much as He wants. What He doesn`t show you cannot know.
People only know as much as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla allows them to know. The more He says we will learn, the more we know. Only Allāh knows how many thousands of years have passed since the time of Ādam‘alayhi s-salām until now – people say various things – but something like seven or eight thousand years. Before our Holy Prophet, there were perhaps six thousand years. And now, the time of the children of Ādam‘alayhi s-salām is coming to an end. Qiyāmah is approaching. After us, Allāh will do whatever He wants. Certainly,His attribute is Khallaq. He is al-Khāliq. His attribute of creating is continuous. He is
Page304
always creating. It is not like He created us, and stopped. With every rain drop, an angel descends. An angel is created. With every snowflake, an angel descends. And it remains on earth. They are creatures too. They are Allāh`s creatures. The number of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla`s creatures is incalculable. It must have millions and billions of zeros.
But our own time, time of this ummah is coming to its end. Because our Holy Prophet said, “The distance between me and qiyāmah is as close as two fingers. As close as ‘Aṣr and maghrib prayers are, as close as the sun is to setting after ‘Aṣr, Qiyāmah is that near.“ Therefore, this world has taken everything there is to take. It has taken its decoration and ornament. And from now on, its end is coming. Qiyāmah is approaching. Therefore, people are oblivious to whether Qiyāmah is approaching. “Wa-hum fīlaghwunmu‘riḍūn,“ says Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. No one thinks about anything except their own entertainment. Aware or unaware of it, they are busy with this world. They have forgotten about the next world (ākhirah). But there is ākhirah. Don`t forget about ākhirah.
Besides, the time of this ummah and the children of Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām is coming to end. Everything has an end, and our time is coming to end. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows what He will do after that end. And this is what we believe in. Shukr to Allāh, this belief is the belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah. When the time is near, signs will appear. Mahdī‘alayhi s-salām will come. The Dajjāl will come. Dābbatu l-Arḍ (Beast of the Earth) will come. Each of them will come, one by one. And then Qiyāmah will occur. May Allāh not separate us from belief. May Allāh protect us from the trouble, fitnah of the end of times. Its fitnah is very difficult. Many people lose their footing and are destroyed. May Allāh protect us. May Allāh protect all of us, Insha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He create everything. And He create time and place. Time and... were sitting, ya‘nī, day and time and everything. Because, but this time and place not for Him, only for creature. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, He not in need to this. He create them. So, He create for to creature, not for Him. No time, no place, nothing; we don’t know any-
Page305
thing about “how“ and “what“ for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And we not allowed to ask for this. No need to ask for this, also. Important thing: Allāh make this for creature. And everything He create. His attribute, Creator. Khallāq, meaning who create. And this attribute, it is continuously. Not only create one, our planet, and we only, in this whole universe, we have this. No. He has countless creatures, countless planets, countless life, different kinds of life in this universe. And the universe, this, nobody know how it is big, how it is... where it is.
But we are only saying, everything, as coming to exist, and they will finish, also. They have time to birth, time to death. As planet, as sun, as moon, as insect, as animal, as human being – Everything they have time, age. As we are now living in end of age of son of Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. This, from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now, approximately maybe seven thousand, eight thousand, nine thousand, I don’t know. There is many different sayings about this. Maybe more, maybe less. But it is important thing: time of this ummah or time of this human being who they are coming from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, coming to end. Day of Resurrection, coming, approaching for this ummah. Because, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam saying: ‟I am the last messenger, and between me and between Qiyāmah, like sun after ‘Aṣr– near to end, sun, coming to sunset. It is like this, between me and between Day of Resurrection.” Which it is... and when you see this, maybe between ten thousand or less or more thousand years until now, coming from Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām. And time now is going, finished.
And everything in this. Allāh, for this, He gave this knowledge for people to do this technology, all everything, to finish their time. He give them, in this one century, He give us ten thousand years more, knowledge from ten thousand years. And it is people they are thinking they are clever and they are doing this by themselves. This, only they can do what Allāh allowed for them to do, not more. And Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, He has knowledge which we are... cannot compare for even one drop from ocean. Not even one drop. When put one nail and take, how much water coming, it’s less. And even not see this, what
Page306
knowledge, all this technology, all this, what they are proud for this. Only Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, what He allowed, little bit, and it is enough to, human being and to make them think they are something. But, Alhamdulilah, we are... The believer must not be trust for this people. They must trust for Allāh, not technology. Technology, everything what Allāh allowed, it will work. When it is time to stop, everything it will stop.
And this time coming because, we are, as we said, end of ummah. Which it will be, also big signs to, like Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām, like Dajjāl, like Antichrist, and many thing it will be come, and it is time not so far, Insha Allah. So we are... we must be careful not to fall in with wrong people, in wrong place. We must be aware. We are... This time very dangerous time, fitnah and other thing.
When you are with Mawlānā, what he said, to be with your jamā‘ah, you will be safe, Insha Allah. This is, Insha Allah, we have this good tiding and it will come good time, here and hereafter, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

EVERYTHING IS IN QUR’ĀN Wednesday, 27 April 2023 / 7 Shawwal 1444
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 Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam says, “Learn and teach the Qur’ān.” The Qur’ān is the holy book sent by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla to this ummah through our Holy Prophet. Everything is in it, says Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. There is healing and blessing in it. There are rewards. Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam says there are ten rewards for every letter of Qur’ān. Not just every word, but in every letter, says our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. There is AlifLām-Mīm. Alif is one; ten rewards are written for it. Ten rewards are written for Lām, says our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. And same for Mīm. If a word consists of three letters, thirty thawāb are given. Not just for a word, but for every letter ten thawāb are written. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla gives such favours to someone who reads Qur’ān and listens to Qur’ān.
We must certainly read it. It is one of the duties of the murīds, anyway, to read one juz’ daily as part of our daily recitation, waẓīfah, shukr to Allāh. We must do it. It is actually easy to learn the Qur’ān. It is rare that people can`t learn. And that is by the wisdom of Allāh. But normally, learning Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n is not a difficult thing. Some people learn to read in three days. Some can learn in a week. Normally, on average, people can learn it in a month. As we said, some people can learn quicker than that, and some even more quickly. But others can learn in three to five months, or even in a year.
Page308
We must try our best. It opens our minds, and blessing comes. It is healing. It is blessing, barakah. All kinds of goodness are in it. It is the eternal word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is Allah`s Word, given by Him to people, to believers, as miracle that we can hold in our hands. Miracles are everywhere. But this is a direct connection.
Keeping up the recitation of the Word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is a great favour. If you stop to think about it, you realize it is such a great gift. It is such a great favour. The Word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is always in your hands. You can read any part of it. You can touch it with your hands. We must appreciate it. It is so precious. The most precious thing is the Word of Allāh. You should both listen to it and read it. One of its specialities is that it doesn`t matter if you understand its meaning. You don`t have to understand its meaning. When you read, you attain those rewards, thawāb. May Allāh make all of us from the people of Qur’ān. May He not keep us away from the Qur’ān.
Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam saying, about Qur’ān: “It is the best thing Allāh gave for human being.” Who wants to know anything, in Qur’ān – everything. And it is very blessed book, because holy, heavenly book coming from our Lord, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, for His word. From word for, He know from what time – no time for Allāh, no place.This…but His miraculously for ummat Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam– He gave them this. And He reward them for each letter, ten reward. Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam saying, as if you – there is word beginning, Alif-Lām-Mīm. Alif – one letter, ten reward, he said, Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. Lām, also ten reward. Mīm, ten reward. Not one word. Each letter, ten reward. So if you read one chapter, it will be – must be – thousands of reward. Ten thousand, maybe hundred thousands of reward, when you read Qur’ān, Allāh reward you.
And Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n, it is everything, every good thing, you find inside. From Allāhgiveyou health, Allāh cure you, Allāh give barakah

for you, Allāh make you happy. Everything you can imagine from good thing, it is in Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n. And it is very good thing for, we have in our hand, in house, everywhere in shelf – Qur’ān ‘aẓīmushsha’n. Who it is coming, heavenly, from heaven, word of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. The real one, not changed. Because since Ādam ‘alayhi ssalām, coming many heavenly books. But most of them, they got disappear. All which not disappeared, they was changed by people, who, long time, they cannot preserve it and they change it. Only Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n was keep original as what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam saying. And Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, it was coming Jibrīl‘alayhi s-salām to him every year. He was reading by heart to see this, no changing. And since that time, nothing changed from Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n. Directly from heavenly book for human being.
For every good thing, we are using Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n. We reading to get blessed. We reading to pray. Without Qur’ān, we cannot make ṣalāt, praying. And everything, right inside. Even they find knowledge for everything. Material thing also, they have knowledge. Everything in Qur’ān. “Wa-lāraṭbinwa-lāyābisinillāfīkitābinmubīn” (6:59). Allāh saying: “No green, no dry, nothing left without mentioning in this Qur’ān.”
And it is, Alhamdulilah, for Ummat Muḥammad, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla sending and keep it. And we are also, our ṭarīqah must... Everyday you must read one chapter of Qur’ān. And this chapter... Many people they know to read, they learn. Maa Sha Allah, even they are not Arab. They are from another language, but they are – everybody – they are learning Qur’ān. Even without understanding, they are continuing with Qur’ān, reading Qur’ān.
And we must try. Who not knowing to read, he can learn. Qur’ān, it is not difficult, because some people even in three days, they can learn. They can read this Arabic Qur’ān. Some of them, maybe more, one week. But normally, it is around one month. One month, if they – people who like to learn, he can easily learn. But maybe sometimes it is difficult. Two months, three months – one year at the maximum. But very
Page310
rarely people, they cannot. Even that, they not learning with this. So, it is, Allāh forgive them. But they, from their intention, Allāh give them, Insha Allah. Reward them, Insha Allah.
And it is opening your mind also, when you read. And giving satisfaction your heart, giving light for your heart, for your face. Face... Everything good with reading Qur’ān. So, Insha Allah, Allāh make us from who carrying this Qur’ān and blessed from Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n, Insha Allah.

THE PERFECT DIET Friday, 29 April 2023 / 9 Shawwal 1444
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-la-yughayyirunnakhalqaLlāh“ (4:119), says Allāh in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. They want to change what Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla created.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything as beautiful. He created it all perfect. And everything He gave to people is enough. Mankind does not appreciate it and strives to make other things. They are experimenting with everything. They are inventing things. And they are changing the creation of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla so things take on a different form. It is the end of times. In the last thirty or forty years, mankind has become more interested in these things. They don`t like the creation of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They make other things and think they will be better and more beautiful. The more they mix things up, the worse it gets. They are not doing right. They used to say in old times, while fixing one side, they break the other side. And they are not just breaking things but burying themselves completely under rubble. It affects everything.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam tells how people should live. How to eat, how to drink; everything is told by our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. You must eat enough and leave the table without feeling full or having overeaten. You must leave one third of stomach for food, one third for water and one third for air so that you are comfortable. You won`t need a diet then. Nowadays, people give
Page312
whatever advice they like. They say, you must eat this and not that. You must do this and ignore that. For example, they say you must not eat bread at all, whereas bread is a blessing given by Allāhto people. It is His barakah. Without it... People have been eating it since Ādam‘alayhi s-salām. But you cut it out. And you replace it with meat. Sometimes they eat only meat or only vegetables, or I don`t know what. I don`t know what they do. And then they claim they feel better. You cannot be better when you don`t eat from each of the favours of Allāh‘Azza waJalla. You must eat from everything, but not in a way that makes your stomach full.
As our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam says, you must fill one third of your stomach with food, one third with water and one third with air. And you must leave the table half full. If you do this, you will have perfect health. If you don`t – if you cannot control your ego and you overeat – neither diet, nor regimen, nor medicine will help. You will live with an illness or too much weight. You will try a different method every time, saying, “This doctor told us this. This professor told us that. This man or that woman said it is better this way.“ You will spend your life experimenting, whereas if you listen to the words of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, you will be at ease. And as we said, they are adding drugs or I don`t know what to the foods created by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are changing their nature. They are playing with the beneficial things created by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla and making them harmful. And that becomes another illness and problem for mankind. As long as mankind is with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla...
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the creator. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown everything we must do through our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wasallam. Those who follow him, who believe in him and who obey him will be in comfort. They will be in comfort both here and hereafter. May Allāh make us from them. May He give us the ability to do so, Insha Allah. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla in Qur’ān ‘aẓīmush-sha’n, saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Fa-la-yughayyirunnakhalqaLlāh“ (4:119). They want to change what Allāh create.
Page313
Allāh create this world by the best shape. The best for using for human being. For other creature, also. He created, perfect. Nothing wrong in this. Our, what Allāh create from this earth or from mountain or from galaxy, from everything... He, Creator, and He very good, very perfect. Everything by His order, moving. Even they said in, when you – there is in space many, like stone, coming this. They said, maybe, this will be hit earth or hit other thing. All this, by order of Allāh.
When Allāh order, it can be. When He not order, don’t afraid. It will be not. If you afraid [or] you not afraid, it will be no benefit for you. Only afraid from Allāh make it perfect. And He also give for our planet, when it will be end. Because many time they – in newspaper – they said, “We are thinking, there is one sky, stone coming... rock coming from space, and will be hit earth and it will destroy.“ This is nonsense. We have knowledge, when it will be qiyāmah, not with this.
But this [not] our subject. Our subject – what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create, everything perfect. Nothing wrong with what Allāh create. But people, especially since – since long time – but the most changing coming since maybe forty years, or fifty or thirty years. Many thing they are trying to change what Allāh create. They doing something very wrong, very bad thing, but they thought they are doing good. How you are think you are doing good? Allāhḥāshā, He doing wrong? You are crazy. You must – everything He created cannot – no attribute wrong in Allāh attribute. Wrong for human being. There is attribute impossible for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. We cannot say wrong. This lowest attribute, only for human being or for jinn or for other. But for Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, the perfect thing He has, his attribute. Nothing. And this is...
So, they are doing many thing wrong. They thought they are doing good. And they destroying humanity, they destroying earth, they destroying nature, they destroying everything. This, because they want to change what Allāh create. And it... they are doing all this for benefit of shayṭān, not benefit of human being. Everything they are doing, they
Page314
are – maybe people they are happy with them. But they are – later they become, saying “Oh, they are doing wrong, this. This not right.“ Everything they doing, like this. Even with, also what we, in our life, what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam showing us how to be healthy, and to be fit and to be good. His advice – human being, all human being, not only Muslim – to, when they eat, they musn’t be full with eat. They must be little bit hungry when they leave food. But, and when you eat, you must eat in your... third for food, third for water or liquid and third for air, in your stomach. This is perfect diet. What many people now, they are looking, running after diet.
And they are saying, “Today, you must not eat bread. Bread is very bad now. Don’t eat this. The first thing you must cut – this bread.“ And bread, it is food since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. Allāh, He blessed this, and He gave this for Ādam‘alayhi s-salām. The first plant for Ādam‘alayhi ssalām was wheat. But these people, they say, “No, don’t. Everyone, don’t eat bread. Don’t eat wheat.“ But, it is the most important for human being since time of Ādam‘alayhi s-salām. First man on Earth until now, it is most important food. “Don’t eat this,“ they said. After, “Don’t eat meat.“ Sometimes, no meat at all. Don’t eat. Only vegetable. And after, “No, no, not vegetable. Don’t eat vegetable. Eat meat only. Meat, it the best thing.“ After, they said, “Don’t eat milk, or cheese, or something...“ Everytime, this crazy people making people more crazy. And it is not giving any benefit. They giving harming. Harming body, because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla make us not like animal. Some animal eating only grass. Some animal eating only meat. But human being, Allāh, His specialty for human being – they eat meat and grass, or vegetable. So, our body in need for this, for all of this. When you doing what these people doing, you become sick. You become ill. You come, many disease. Later, you be regret what you done for yourself.
The best diet, as we said, what Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, saying. Third for food, third for liquid, third for air. If you can continue... You must continue this. Because, other, they are very difficult to make, this – to eat only meat or to eat only vegetable. But, this is the best diet for human being. And when you do this, you will be healthy and
Page315
you will be more strong. But also, you must not be full with food. Of course, also this – what they are changing from food. They take good thing, they put bad thing in food. So some food may become like poison for people. For this, you must be careful and look for real one. Not with changing, with this people. Hesaid, Allāh, “YurīdunāyughayyirūKhalquLlāh.“ Don’t look for this. You must find, and Alhamdulilah now they are – many people also – they are looking for old, not changed one, from food. And if you continue this, you will be healthy.
And when you follow order of Allāh and saying of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, you be healthy and good here. It will be good for you, here and hereafter. Not only for ākhirah, for dunyā also. You will be healthy. Health, our ni‘mah from Allāh. We must keep it, we must look after ourself, to be healthy, to be strong, to continue our life, our worshiping, with perfect shape. Not with illness and for be burden for other people.
The best thing for mu’min: to be enough for himself, Insha Allah. Allāh make us from this, to keep us – our īmān, our health – strong, Insha Allah.

REAL MEN Saturday, 30 April 2023 / 10 Shawwal 1444
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: “Mina l-mu’minīnarijālun ṣadaqū mā‘ āhadūLlāha‘ alayhi fa-minhum man qaḍánaḥbahuwa-minhum man yantaẓir“ (33:23). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm. Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla says, there are such believers, such good people, who have remained firm to their word. And those words, they have held firm to the way which is the way of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. Certainly, everyone dies. Therefore, some of them have passed away and some are still waiting to pass away. People who pass away on this way by keeping their word are the accepted people. People who are not cheated by dunyā, shayṭān, and desires and who don`t leave the way, are the people praised by Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And they are rare people, of course. But there are many such good people, shukr to Allāh. We have humble people who serve others, who do everything they can to bring people to the right path, shukr to Allāh. They are always everywhere.
One of our murīds like this who has been here since the time of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, a person who remained firm and didn`t leave the path, a beautiful man passed away the day before yesterday. And we prayed ṣalātu l-ghā’ib [for him] yesterday. Nūḥ Efendi. He was such a humble man. He invited many non-Muslims to īmān and Islām. Many people were honoured with īmān through his hand and through his beautiful manners. Allāh gives. His wisdom to whomever He wants. And He gave him from that wisdom. He served people by telling them
Page317
about Islām and bringing them to the right path, without leaving the path himself. May Allāh be pleased with him. May Allāh be pleased with him for he was never proud. He didn`t let any of his deeds go in vain. He was a man who was always humble, who knew the way and showed the way to people. He was a man of service. His humbleness was an example. And the clothing he wore, whatever the wisdom is, he had a patched jubbah, that he used to wear. May Allāh make paradise his abode.
How lucky is he, for he is gone with the attributes mentioned in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmush-Sha’n. This is important. For everyone, to pass away with such an attribute is the greatest profit for them. If they go without it, even if they say, “The whole world belonged to him. The whole world was under his command.“ So what? They are dead now. There is no profit not for them, nor for others. There is no profit. Profit is in passing away with good deeds and with this attribute. This is what it is beneficial. May Allah give that state to all of us. May Allāh make us from Allāh`s beloved servants, Insha Allah.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Mina l-mu’minīnarijālun ṣadaqū mā‘ āhadūLlāha‘ alayhi fa-minhum man qaḍánaḥbahuwa-minhum man yantaẓir“ (33:23). ṢadaqaLlāhu l-‘aẓīm. This is āyah, describing the real men who are believer and they have oath for Allāh, for Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam, to be in way of them, way of Allāh, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. And they are, some of them pass away, some of them waiting. Because everybody will pass away, will die. But what Allāh describe in this verse from Qur’ān, praise these people who holding strongly this way, not leaving way of Allāh, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam.
They describe them as men who, strong men, they are keeping this way. Holding this way, not leaving. Every, which many people, they cannot keep their word, keep their oath for end. But these people, who praise them Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, they are like this. They are real people, real men. Men, we say it for strong thing. Even there are many women, they are more stronger than men, for this, to keep their oath, their word. Who
Page318
they keep this word, they are all praised in Divine Presence of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. And we say this for one, our from brothers, from time of Mawlānā, he was same. And until the end, he was same, not changing at all. Every time he coming here, going. We going to him. He, all time, he was in this way. And very humble one and he is, what he done, big thing he done. Many people from non-Muslim, non-believer, they make them believer. From his humbleness, from his good manner, good thinking, good teaching, many of this people. But he wasn’t proud at all. He look, when you see him, even when he speak, you cannot hear his voice.
Alḥamdulilah, he was praised with Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, with this āyah. And awliyā’uLlāh, Mawlānā was happy with him, because he is not changing. Mawlānā, he was saying: “Continue this way, way of Prophet ṣalláLlāhu’alayhi wa-sallam. Nobody living forever, here. You must not leave when Shaykh pass away or anything happen, you continue same way.“ Don’t leave, don’t even. And this one, he was real one of these people. And Allāh... He was giving very good teaching for people. People they was loving him, but this, Allāh He want him and he went to his Lord with happiness. Because this is happiness to find, to be praised in Divine Presence of Allāh. The real happiness, this. This real good thing for anybody from human being. When time coming to change the world, going to next life. Very important to be in end with Allāh with people who Allāh love them. If you have everything, but you don’t have this, you are loser. You are not, you cannot be happy in next life. The happiness, most happiness, the end. It must be good end. Not, even when you pass away, if all this country for you, you cannot do anything. You cannot change your next life. But when you are here and doing good thing and you be beloved for Allāh, you won everything.
Allāh make us from this people and Allāh, Insha Allah, because we are going same place, we will meet with this good people, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE RIGHTS OF WORKERS Monday, 1 May 2023 / 11 Shawwal 1444
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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who gives everything to people. No one can prevent what He withholds. Mankind forgets Allāh‘Azza waJalla and is grateful to others or expects and asks for help from them. They place importance on them, whereas everything is in the hands of Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. We must make shukr to Allah. We must praise Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made two feasts. There are two feasts. But people made up other holidays in order to forget those of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And every time they make up something different. There are two feasts.
Today is Workers` Day. We all have to make shukr to Allāh, for He gave us skill and talent. He gave us work to do. If Allāh didn`t give you work, where would you find it? Where would you find bread? Where would you find food? We must make shukr for this. We must make shukr to Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla. As we said, no one can prevent what Allāh gives. And no one can give what He doesn`t give. No one can stop what He gives. And no one can provide what He doesn`t give.
Some people place importance on these days. It is okay when it is like a normal holiday. But giving it importance and making it special is stupid. It is completely useless. Sometimes people commit sins for nothing. Because they think they are important on that day and say, “How cool I am to do so much work.“ If you did it, Allāh meant it for you to do.
Page320
There are many people who can`t work. There are many jobless people who can`t find work. And there are many hungry ones. They wish to have any job. And those who work say, “We work too much.“ If you do, you are doing it for yourself. And if you are doing it for Allāh, the work you do counts as worship. You will eat from ḥalāl food. Otherwise, people work for their egos. They say, “Others are taking my rights. They are using me.“
The most important thing in Islām is the right of workers. In Islām, it is said you must pay a worker before his sweat is dry. Of course, if that is not applicable nowadays, you must certainly pay their salaries. You must pay them everything they are owed. The right of workers is the most important thing in Islām. Our Holy Prophet strongly emphasised this point. He placed importance on it. There are many people who take workers` rights. And then they make a holiday for them or I don`t know what. These are useless things.
But what is important are their goals and intentions. The goals and intentions for this thing began in opposition to Allāh. And then it became a tradition. Allāhه gives according to the intentions of people. So they must make their intention to get some rest for the pleasure of Allāh We are getting our rights, shukr to Allāh. Allāh gave us work and strength. They must make shukr to Allāh. And they shouldn`t go into other matters and dangerous things. They mustn`t be with things and people that Allāh dislikes. They must not imitate them. “We are not like them. May Allāh protect us. We had a day off today because it is a holiday. But we don`t accept it as a feast.“ They must say so. There are two feasts. There is no holiday apart from them. They call it Workers` Day and I don`t know what. It is a completely useless thing. Usually there are all kinds of bad things that happen on this day. You will see on the news tonight that they destroyed here and there.
Therefore people, Muslims, must pay attention to this. They must make their intention to gain the pleasure of Allāh in everything they have to do. We do whatever the pleasure of Allāh is. We make shukr to Allāh.
Page321
He gave us work, food and a spouse. Shukr to Allāh for these. With shukr, favours increase. Otherwise, there will be neither blessings, nor favours. May Allāh protect us.
We are... Alhamdulilah, we are thanking Allāh for what He gave us from His good thing, gift for everything. And we are knowing everything, Allāh‘Azza wa-Jalla, He gave us. What He gave, nobody can prevent from you. What He will not give you, nobody is able to do. Nothing else. Without His knowing, nothing happens. And He gave us two days of feast .
