Suhbah 2023: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (375 suhbah, 886 pages, 40/50)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Sakh-khara Lakum MāFī l-‘ArđiWa AlFulka TajrīFī Al-Baĥri’’ “Allah has subjected to you whatever is on the earth and the ships which run through the sea.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 22:65).
Allah made everything subjected to mankind. Subjected to them means that He created them to benefit from them. He made everything underwater, on earth and in air under our command so that we know His Greatness and Magnificence and make Shukr to Him. Everything is for mankind. Allah granted everything to mankind so that people know Him.
In old times, there were tools and instruments. People used to do work with their hands and power. Later, they invented more things. Certainly, with the order and permission of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla everything has its time. As years passed, people lost their control and started using cars, planes and ships more. They benefitted more from them. They got more comfort.
But in the meantime, they saw this and thought they are great. They said, “I am doing this” and forgot the Creator. When they forgot the
Page182
Creator, these things became not benefit but burden to you. They became bad.
Therefore, we should make Shukr to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla for everything He gives us. And everything can be used for goodness and evil. We should try to use the things given by Allah for goodness. We should use them for goodness, not to harm people. We should use them not to forget Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet but to remember them. They will be of benefit to you then.
Otherwise, even if you own the whole world and everything is under your command, if all machines and tools are under your command, that will bring no benefit. You won’t be using them but they will be using you then. When you forget Allah ‘Azza waJalla, none of them has any benefit. If you use just one of them and know the Greatness of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you will have benefitted from it and attained the pleasure of Allah.
These things of this world are for this world and for Akhirah. They are used for both here and hereafter. Allah is capable of everything. People get amazed by how advanced things can be. That is nothing. That is not even a dot in front of the Greatness of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. All these sciences and knowledge are not even a dot. Therefore, don’t be amazed by these tools and instruments. Look and see the Greatness of Allah ‘Azza waJalla.
May Allah give us all understanding. May He not separate us from the right way and give strength to our Iman.

MEASURELESS REWARDS FOR THE PATIENT Sunday, 5 March 2023 / 13 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Innamā Yuwaffá s-Sābirūna ‘Ajrahum Bighayri Ĥisāb’’ “Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.’’(Qur’ān 39:10).
When someone does goodness, Allah writes ten Thawab for him. Sometimes, during these holy months and days, it is a hundred or seven hundred. But to those who are patient Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives without measure.
Shaytan doesn’t like this. He wants to make their patience in vain. May Allah protect us; when something happens, when a disaster occurs, Allah rewards those who are patient without measure. There is nothing else to do then anyway. Something has happened to people; may Allah protect us. Even if they are patient or not, it has already happened. It is something that has occurred. It won’t change. It cannot change.
Therefore, they should be patient to see its benefit. Through patience, Allah will give them their rewards. And He will give them consolation. If you are not patient, you will lose this reward here. You will have rebelled. And with this grief, people will perish. Therefore, patience is the best thing in disasters and calamities. There is nothing else to do any-
Page184
way. You cannot attain anything by rebelling. You will ruin yourself and be gone. And that will be in vain.
Patience is a favor given by Allah to believers and Muslims. We see that shaytan doesn’t like this favor. All his soldiers and those who love shaytan are attacking. People are in misery anyway. And as if that is not enough for people, the followers of shaytan are enemies to humanity. What they want is for people to be worse, to lose and not to be in profit. They have already lost their relatives, houses and places. May Allah protect us. And so that they don’t get their rewards, they are not leaving anything as much as they can.
Human shaytans have become worse than shaytan himself. May Allah protect us from their evil. And their evil will be inverted upon them. Who sows evil cannot get anything but evil. They think they are doing goodness. In order to earn two pennies, they are ready to ruin everything. May Allah protect us from their evil. Don’t obey them. Those who hear and see everything comes from Allah. Allah will reward us without measure. It is the promise of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
He gives patience to people in this world. He helps the patient ones. And their suffering gets lighter with the permission of Allah.This is without a doubt. Those who are not patient will be in loss. And they will live in this world all the time with grief.
May Allah give Iman to all of us. May He give strength to our Iman. May we not listen to shaytans.

LAYLATU L-BARA’AH: NIGHT OF 15TH OF SHA’BAN Monday, 6 March 2023 / 14 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “`Innā Kunnā Mundhirīn (3) Fīhā Yufraqu Kullu ‘Amrin Ĥakīm (4)”, “In a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind] (3) On that night is made distinct every precise matter (4)” (Qur’an 44:3-4)
Regarding tonight [Laylatu l-Bara’ah], Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan about the value and meaning of this night. Tonight is a holy night. What will happen in a year for everyone will be written one by one on this night. It is written.
We should spend this holy night with Dua. There is also a 100 Rakā’at prayer. In addition to that, you can pray Salatu t-Tasabih. We will do that insha’Allah. Those who are not in Jama’ah can do it on their own. It doesn’t have to be in Jama’ah. There are people who say it cannot be done in Jama’ah. But Jama’ah is better. It is nicer to celebrate this night in a community. Allah loves Jama’ah.
Certainly, as it had different meanings in old times, some scholars say there shouldn’t be Jama’ah. But the more people gather for the pleasure of Allah now, the more benefit there is. “Allah’s Hand of Power is upon the the community.” [Hadith]. Allah’s Hand of Power is with Jama’ah, with the community.On this holy night, the Rizq, death, deeds; every-
Page186
thing that will happen in a year is written. If a person will reach another year or not, whatever will happen, whatever the will of Allah ‘Azza waJalla is, wherever there will be a war, flood or earthquake; all of this will be written tonight a year in advance.
Therefore, even though it is written in the presence of Allah ‘Azza waJalla, He can change whatever He wants and do whatever He wants.
There is Yasin that is to be read three times tonight between Maghrib and Isha’. They are recited with these intentions: a long good life, asking for Halal Rizq and good deeds to make our Iman steadfast. There is a certain Dua. This Dua is recited after each Yasin between Maghrib and Isha’. If there is evil, it will be changed to goodness Insha Allah.
Allah is capable of everything. We cannot interfere in the wisdom and work of Allah. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam has told us about it. And it is beneficial for us to follow him and do this. Everything is in Allah’s Hand of Power. He can protects you if He wants. He can delay if He wants. He can protect you if He wants.
People’s mind cannot comprehend anything. And it cannot comprehend the wisdom of Allah at all. Therefore, just follow what is said, follow the way shown by our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You will be at ease and in safety. The actual safety is the safety of Akhirah. Insha’Allah we will reach safety by being steadfast and will always be in safety Insha Allah, we will be on the way of Allah.May it be blessed upon you. There are a few holy nights in a year; and tonight is one of these holy nights. May Allah make it good and full of Barakah. Insha Allah may it be a means for goodness. May there be safety. May there be victory to Islam Insha Allah.
May Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam whom we are waiting for come Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

HOW TO FIND PEACE OF HEART? Tuesday, 7 March 2023 / 15 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “A-lā bi-dhikrillāhi taṭmainnu l-qulūb”, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (Qur’ān 13:28).
“Bala ya Allah!”, “Yes O Allah!”
Contentment of the heart comes with the remembrance and Dhikr of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It can’t be otherwise.
Shukr to Allah, we celebrated last night. May its Barakah give light and contentment to our hearts Insha Allah. Because people’s hearts are always busy. When they are busy, there is unrest in all people. They are looking for peace by saying, “Where and what should we do?” And people are usually choosing various bad ways in order to find contentment and feel at peace. That makes them even worse. Just like you pour petrol and diesel on fire, and it flames more, that causes more unrest.
Badness and sins never bring peace. What bring peace is making Dhikr of Allah, remembering Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and carrying out His orders. The more you do, the more Allah is pleased with you . He gives contentment and light to your hearts.There is a Hadith Qudsi: “My servant approaches Me with worship. The closer he gets, the more I
Page188
come close to him.” The more you approach Allah, the closer Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is to you. “If you are a span close, I am closer a cubit. If you are a cubit close, I am closer a fathom.” No matter how close you are, even if little, Allah ‘Azza waJalla gives much more of it.
Therefore, no need to look for other ways. Never forget Allah ‘Azza waJalla to attain peace.
Always remember and make Dhikr so that your hearts are filled with light, filled with Iman and peace Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE ONLY REFUGE FOR BELIEVERS Wednesday, 8 March 2023 / 16 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Fa firrūilāLlāh’’ “So flee to Allah.’’(Qur’ān 51:50).’’Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “Where should you run? You should run to Allah”.
There is no other place to run. It is the same both here and hereafter. Whoever is on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, he will turn to Him.
People don’t know what to do now, whether they should go to one place or another. They are thinking on it. But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown it anyways. Run to Allah, turn to Allah. There is nowhere else to run. “Ya Man La Malja’aMin’huilla ‘Ilayh”, “O He Who there is no refuge from except to Him” There is nowhere else to run except to Him. The place of refuge is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
This is great good tidings for believers. Even though they are frustrated, there is a true place for them. Their destination place is the mercy and benevolence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, His blessing and beauty. These are for believers.
Unbelievers who make corruption and want to spread their Kufr to others can go to shaytan. They seek refuge in shaytan. And they are together with shaytan. This is the punishment for those who mislead people
Page190
and take their Iman away. They will never be saved from fear, worry and sadness.
Those who will be saved are those who seek refuge in Allah. They will be saved with the permission of Allah. Their hearts will be at rest. They will be at rest, and they will be in peace. Therefore, making Dua to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, repenting and asking for forgiveness and mercy from Allah is the place of refuge for believers. That is the best place.
Listening to the words of others who say, “This one did this. If only that was like that”, that is not important. What’s important is that you train yourself and your ego. If you train your ego, you will be saved and happy. You will be on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah will accept you. Allah will take you under His mercy. You will have got in the best place.
Otherwise, we see that shaytans are going wilder instead of coming to senses. They are becoming worse. Those who listen to them will be just like them. There will be no peace. There will be fear and hopelessness. So be on the way of Allah, and you will reach safety both here and hereafter.
May Allah not separate us from that way Insha Allah. And may He guide the rest. May Allah protect us from their evil.

WISDOMS IN DUA AL-QUNUT Thursday, 9 March 2023 / 17 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
We make Dua Al-Qunut every day in the end of Fajr prayer. Dua AlQunut is recited for difficult days. Therefore, as we are living in the end of times, as every day and every time is always dangerous and difficult, it is something recited in that danger. And beautiful things are said in it.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:“Innahu La Yadhillu Man Waalayt”, “Indeed he is not humiliated whom You have befriended” – “Whoever is with You will not be disgraced”.
He will never be disgraced in the presence of Allah “Wala Ya’izzu Man Aa’dayt”, “And none whom You have taken as an enemy shall taste glory” “And whoever is Your enemy will never be Aziz.” Aziz meaning an important and worthy person.
A man who is an enemy to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has no worth at all. A man who is an enemy to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is always disgraced and worthless. He has nothing. We must know this. And we must act accordingly. Don’t value enemies of Allah. They cannot be given value. If Allah doesn’t value them, you should not value them either. You should not respect them. The ones you should respect are the people beloved by Allah. Be with people who are together with Allah. You will be Aziz then.Those who are against Him are always in contempt and vileness.
Page192
They are vile people. They are worthless people. Don’t be with them. Stay away from them. Run away from them. There are some Hadiths which say just like people run away from fire, run away from such people like that, from people who taking Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla as an enemy.
Because darkness descends upon them, and affliction descends. And that will splash to those near them. All their misfortune will pass to you. They are unfortunate people. Don’t be with them. Don’t show respect to them.
If you want to respect someone, respect the friends of Allah, honor those who are together with Allah. Value them so that your value increases too. If you are with bad ones, you will lose your value too. Whatever punishment and affliction comes to them, it will come to you as well. May Allah protect you.
May Allah protect us all Insha Allah from their evil.

THE SULTAN OF DAYS Friday, 10 March 2023 / 18 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Today is the day of Jum’ah. It is a day with a blessed night as well. It was given as a gift by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to our Holy Prophet and Muslims. This night and day is among the days when Duas are accepted. Blessed days are gifts of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla that suit the glory of our Holy Prophet.
Today is Jum’ah. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says it is the Sultan of days regarding Jum’ah. There is an hour of response on this day. The Dua that coincides with this hour is accepted. Dua is the weapon of a believer. With Dua, he wins and attains victory, he attains all kinds of favors. We should make Dua every time. And we should make it more today, on Jum’ah, so that it coincides with the hour of response.
Humanity is living through a difficult time. However, nothing is difficult for Muslims and believers. Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives more favors for those difficulties.He grants more. There is benefit in everything for Muslims. They don’t live in vain. Those who live in vain are people without Iman and non-Muslim people; because they are running only after Dunya. They don’t think about anything but Dunya. They don’t think about Akhirah.But unfortunately, Muslims are following them too. Oftentimes, they are cheated by Dunya and forget Akhirah.
Page194
We must not forget, because the reason of our existence is to honor Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, to worship Him and to carry out His orders. He gives all favors to us. He has already given us in Dunya. And in order to be given in Akhirah, to have favors there, we must not forget Him.
Honoring Him, honoring our Holy Prophet, honoring His orders is our duty. May He grant this to all of us. May He separate us not from the right way and may He guide the othersInsha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE ONLY ONE TO PLEASE Saturday, 11 March 2023 / 19 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
What’s important is that our people attain the pleasure of Allah. The pleasure of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is important, and the pleasure of people is not important. Because the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is one. The ways of people are millions and billions. If you want to make everyone happy, you cannot make anyone happy. As long as Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is pleased, the rest are not important.
Those who are on the way of Allah should be pleased and happy with you. That is what is important. Don’t tire yourself in order to make others happy. They will be pleased with you for an hour, and then they won’t like you again and ask for something else. You will do things they ask for in order to look good in their eyes, but then they will ask for other things. They will ask for useless things, harmful things, bad things from you.
If you are involved with them once, you can’t get out of it. Therefore, don’t pay attention to them. What is to be paid attention is the pleasure of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Things against the pleasure of Allah ‘Azza waJalla won’t bring any benefit to you. They will bring harm and badness. Your service to others has no limits. You following them has no limits. They will take you up to hell and they won’t be happy; you won’t be able to get out of it.Now something worse has occurred for all common
Page196
people. As if that is not enough, shaytan’s tools Mawlana Shaykh Nazim used to say in old times regarding the television that it is a shaytan box. Now there are even worse things. As soon as you enter them, they enslave you and make you do whatever they want.
This applies to a part of people. But otherwise, as all people have left the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, they think, “How should I please them? How will they be happy with us?” They turn you into educated monkeys, like people of old times used to say, by telling you to do this and that. And you run around to do that. You will not have an atom size of benefit. They will harm you. And it won’t bring benefit to them as well. It will bring benefit only to shaytan. Those who are on the way of shaytan are useless and harmful people.
As we said, our goal insha’Allah is the pleasure of Allah. We don’t need the pleasure of those who are against the pleasure of Allah. May Allah protect us from their evil. People who love Allah put themselves and their egos on His way. The ego is good then. Otherwise, who put their egos on the pleasure of others, their egos will destroy them.
May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from their evil Insha Allah.

Allah made everything subjected to mankind. Subjected to them means that He created them to benefit from them. He made everything underwater, on earth and in air under our command so that we know His Greatness and Magnificence and make Shukr to Him. Everything is for mankind.

In old times, there were tools and instruments. People used to do work with their hands and power. Later, they invented more things. Certainly, with the order and permission of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla everything has its time. As years passed, people lost their control and started using cars, planes and ships more. They benefitted more from them. They got more comfort.
But in the meantime, they saw this and thought they are great. They said, “I am doing this” and forgot the Creator. When they forgot the
Page182
Creator, these things became not benefit but burden to you. They became bad.
Therefore, we should make Shukr to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla for everything He gives us. And everything can be used for goodness and evil. We should try to use the things given by Allah for goodness. We should use them for goodness, not to harm people. We should use them not to forget Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet but to remember them. They will be of benefit to you then.

MEASURELESS REWARDS FOR THE PATIENT Sunday, 5 March 2023 / 13 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.

LAYLATU L-BARA’AH: NIGHT OF 15TH OF SHA’BAN Monday, 6 March 2023 / 14 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.

But the more people gather for the pleasure of Allah now, the more benefit there is. “Allah’s Hand of Power is upon the the community.” [Hadith]. Allah’s Hand of Power is with Jama’ah, with the community.On this holy night, the Rizq, death, deeds; every-
Page186
thing that will happen in a year is written. If a person will reach another year or not, whatever will happen, whatever the will of Allah ‘Azza waJalla is, wherever there will be a war, flood or earthquake; all of this will be written tonight a year in advance.
Therefore, even though it is written in the presence of Allah ‘Azza waJalla, He can change whatever He wants and do whatever He wants.
There is Yasin that is to be read three times tonight between Maghrib and Isha’. They are recited with these intentions: a long good life, asking for Halal Rizq and good deeds to make our Iman steadfast. There is a certain Dua. This Dua is recited after each Yasin between Maghrib and Isha’. If there is evil, it will be changed to goodness Insha Allah.
Allah is capable of everything. We cannot interfere in the wisdom and work of Allah. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam has told us about it. And it is beneficial for us to follow him and do this. Everything is in Allah’s Hand of Power. He can protects you if He wants. He can delay if He wants. He can protect you if He wants.
People’s mind cannot comprehend anything. And it cannot comprehend the wisdom of Allah at all. Therefore, just follow what is said, follow the way shown by our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You will be at ease and in safety. The actual safety is the safety of Akhirah. Insha’Allah we will reach safety by being steadfast and will always be in safety Insha Allah, we will be on the way of Allah.May it be blessed upon you. There are a few holy nights in a year; and tonight is one of these holy nights. May Allah make it good and full of Barakah. Insha Allah may it be a means for goodness. May there be safety. May there be victory to Islam Insha Allah.
May Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam whom we are waiting for come Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

HOW TO FIND PEACE OF HEART? Tuesday, 7 March 2023 / 15 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “A-lā bi-dhikrillāhi taṭmainnu l-qulūb”, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (Qur’ān 13:28).
“Bala ya Allah!”, “Yes O Allah!”
Contentment of the heart comes with the remembrance and Dhikr of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It can’t be otherwise.
Shukr to Allah, we celebrated last night. May its Barakah give light and contentment to our hearts Insha Allah. Because people’s hearts are always busy. When they are busy, there is unrest in all people. They are looking for peace by saying, “Where and what should we do?” And people are usually choosing various bad ways in order to find contentment and feel at peace. That makes them even worse. Just like you pour petrol and diesel on fire, and it flames more, that causes more unrest.
Badness and sins never bring peace. What bring peace is making Dhikr of Allah, remembering Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and carrying out His orders. The more you do, the more Allah is pleased with you . He gives contentment and light to your hearts.There is a Hadith Qudsi: “My servant approaches Me with worship. The closer he gets, the more I
Page188
come close to him.” The more you approach Allah, the closer Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is to you. “If you are a span close, I am closer a cubit. If you are a cubit close, I am closer a fathom.” No matter how close you are, even if little, Allah ‘Azza waJalla gives much more of it.
Therefore, no need to look for other ways. Never forget Allah ‘Azza waJalla to attain peace.
Always remember and make Dhikr so that your hearts are filled with light, filled with Iman and peace Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE ONLY REFUGE FOR BELIEVERS Wednesday, 8 March 2023 / 16 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Fa firrūilāLlāh’’ “So flee to Allah.’’(Qur’ān 51:50).’’Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “Where should you run? You should run to Allah”.
There is no other place to run. It is the same both here and hereafter. Whoever is on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, he will turn to Him.
People don’t know what to do now, whether they should go to one place or another. They are thinking on it. But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown it anyways. Run to Allah, turn to Allah. There is nowhere else to run. “Ya Man La Malja’aMin’huilla ‘Ilayh”, “O He Who there is no refuge from except to Him” There is nowhere else to run except to Him. The place of refuge is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
This is great good tidings for believers. Even though they are frustrated, there is a true place for them. Their destination place is the mercy and benevolence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, His blessing and beauty. These are for believers.
Unbelievers who make corruption and want to spread their Kufr to others can go to shaytan. They seek refuge in shaytan. And they are together with shaytan. This is the punishment for those who mislead people
Page190
and take their Iman away. They will never be saved from fear, worry and sadness.
Those who will be saved are those who seek refuge in Allah. They will be saved with the permission of Allah. Their hearts will be at rest. They will be at rest, and they will be in peace. Therefore, making Dua to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, repenting and asking for forgiveness and mercy from Allah is the place of refuge for believers. That is the best place.
Listening to the words of others who say, “This one did this. If only that was like that”, that is not important. What’s important is that you train yourself and your ego. If you train your ego, you will be saved and happy. You will be on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah will accept you. Allah will take you under His mercy. You will have got in the best place.
Otherwise, we see that shaytans are going wilder instead of coming to senses. They are becoming worse. Those who listen to them will be just like them. There will be no peace. There will be fear and hopelessness. So be on the way of Allah, and you will reach safety both here and hereafter.
May Allah not separate us from that way Insha Allah. And may He guide the rest. May Allah protect us from their evil.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WISDOMS IN DUA AL-QUNUT Thursday, 9 March 2023 / 17 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
We make Dua Al-Qunut every day in the end of Fajr prayer. Dua AlQunut is recited for difficult days. Therefore, as we are living in the end of times, as every day and every time is always dangerous and difficult, it is something recited in that danger. And beautiful things are said in it.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem:“Innahu La Yadhillu Man Waalayt”, “Indeed he is not humiliated whom You have befriended” – “Whoever is with You will not be disgraced”.
He will never be disgraced in the presence of Allah “Wala Ya’izzu Man Aa’dayt”, “And none whom You have taken as an enemy shall taste glory” “And whoever is Your enemy will never be Aziz.” Aziz meaning an important and worthy person.
A man who is an enemy to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has no worth at all. A man who is an enemy to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is always disgraced and worthless. He has nothing. We must know this. And we must act accordingly. Don’t value enemies of Allah. They cannot be given value. If Allah doesn’t value them, you should not value them either. You should not respect them. The ones you should respect are the people beloved by Allah. Be with people who are together with Allah. You will be Aziz then.Those who are against Him are always in contempt and vileness.
Page192
They are vile people. They are worthless people. Don’t be with them. Stay away from them. Run away from them. There are some Hadiths which say just like people run away from fire, run away from such people like that, from people who taking Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla as an enemy.
Because darkness descends upon them, and affliction descends. And that will splash to those near them. All their misfortune will pass to you. They are unfortunate people. Don’t be with them. Don’t show respect to them.
If you want to respect someone, respect the friends of Allah, honor those who are together with Allah. Value them so that your value increases too. If you are with bad ones, you will lose your value too. Whatever punishment and affliction comes to them, it will come to you as well. May Allah protect you.
May Allah protect us all Insha Allah from their evil.

THE SULTAN OF DAYS Friday, 10 March 2023 / 18 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Today is the day of Jum’ah. It is a day with a blessed night as well. It was given as a gift by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to our Holy Prophet and Muslims. This night and day is among the days when Duas are accepted. Blessed days are gifts of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla that suit the glory of our Holy Prophet.
Today is Jum’ah. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says it is the Sultan of days regarding Jum’ah. There is an hour of response on this day. The Dua that coincides with this hour is accepted. Dua is the weapon of a believer. With Dua, he wins and attains victory, he attains all kinds of favors. We should make Dua every time. And we should make it more today, on Jum’ah, so that it coincides with the hour of response.
Humanity is living through a difficult time. However, nothing is difficult for Muslims and believers. Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives more favors for those difficulties.He grants more. There is benefit in everything for Muslims. They don’t live in vain. Those who live in vain are people without Iman and non-Muslim people; because they are running only after Dunya. They don’t think about anything but Dunya. They don’t think about Akhirah.But unfortunately, Muslims are following them too. Oftentimes, they are cheated by Dunya and forget Akhirah.
Page194
We must not forget, because the reason of our existence is to honor Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, to worship Him and to carry out His orders. He gives all favors to us. He has already given us in Dunya. And in order to be given in Akhirah, to have favors there, we must not forget Him.
Honoring Him, honoring our Holy Prophet, honoring His orders is our duty. May He grant this to all of us. May He separate us not from the right way and may He guide the othersInsha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE ONLY ONE TO PLEASE Saturday, 11 March 2023 / 19 Sha’ban 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
What’s important is that our people attain the pleasure of Allah. The pleasure of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is important, and the pleasure of people is not important. Because the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is one. The ways of people are millions and billions. If you want to make everyone happy, you cannot make anyone happy. As long as Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is pleased, the rest are not important.
Those who are on the way of Allah should be pleased and happy with you. That is what is important. Don’t tire yourself in order to make others happy. They will be pleased with you for an hour, and then they won’t like you again and ask for something else. You will do things they ask for in order to look good in their eyes, but then they will ask for other things. They will ask for useless things, harmful things, bad things from you.
If you are involved with them once, you can’t get out of it. Therefore, don’t pay attention to them. What is to be paid attention is the pleasure of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Things against the pleasure of Allah ‘Azza waJalla won’t bring any benefit to you. They will bring harm and badness. Your service to others has no limits. You following them has no limits. They will take you up to hell and they won’t be happy; you won’t be able to get out of it.Now something worse has occurred for all common
Page196
people. As if that is not enough, shaytan’s tools Mawlana Shaykh Nazim used to say in old times regarding the television that it is a shaytan box. Now there are even worse things. As soon as you enter them, they enslave you and make you do whatever they want.
This applies to a part of people. But otherwise, as all people have left the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, they think, “How should I please them? How will they be happy with us?” They turn you into educated monkeys, like people of old times used to say, by telling you to do this and that. And you run around to do that. You will not have an atom size of benefit. They will harm you. And it won’t bring benefit to them as well. It will bring benefit only to shaytan. Those who are on the way of shaytan are useless and harmful people.
As we said, our goal insha’Allah is the pleasure of Allah. We don’t need the pleasure of those who are against the pleasure of Allah. May Allah protect us from their evil. People who love Allah put themselves and their egos on His way. The ego is good then. Otherwise, who put their egos on the pleasure of others, their egos will destroy them.
May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from their evil Insha Allah.
