For this, you must look for the good thing, what’s of benefit for you. “Tayyib” means what is of benefit for yourself, for your body and for your soul also. Because it affects both sides.
We are living in a time when there’s many from food, from drink and such. And human beings cannot control themselves; they want more and more. And when they eat, they after that become ill. From where is this coming? Of course from what you eat. I think it is a Hadith. “The stomach is the house of diseases, and diet is the best medicine.” I don’t know if it is a Hadith, but maybe. It means that the stomach is the house of illness, and to have a diet is the best medicine.
For this, now these people also look at what Islam is saying, and after that say, “Yes. This is very important.” What Islam is ordering is this good thing. And beside this, it is ordering to fast. When you fast, they said that what is not good Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created our body to be enough for us, no need for other things such as medicine or something. When you fast, your body eats this bad thing and throws it away.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla– SubhanAllah, SubhanAllah l-Aliyyi l-Azim He created us and He told us how to use our body. Like if you buy some machine, you have instructions. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla put these instructions for us from the first day till the end of our lives. We have these instructions, but nobody follows it. And after that they say, “This happened, that happened.” If you follow it, Bi-iznillah (with Allah’s permission) nothing happens to you.
May Allah keep us in His way, and make us control ourselves in everything.

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: “Innakayda l-shayṭāni kana dha‘īfā” “Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. (Qur’ān 04:76).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that everything that the shaytan does is not strong, it is weak. Now, you think he is controlling everywhere in this time. He thinks he is strong and nobody can be saved from him. But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that his tricks, traps or anything he does, all of this is very weak.
When the time comes, all of what he has done and what he’s happy with: making people in misery, making people unbelievers, making people unhappy – When the time comes, He will make all of this collapse, He will destroy what the shaytan is doing and the Haqq/right will appear in the whole world Insha Allah. This is Allah’s promise for Mu’mins, for Muslims, for Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Now he’s building, building, building. Everything – when the time comes, all of this will be finished and only believers will be all around the world Insha Allah. No oppression, no corruption, no killing, no destroying. All of this is from shaytan. All of what we are seeing in this world now in this time, all is coming from shaytan. You think that he’s
Page121
very strong, he has everything that can destroy this world. They say there are weapons that can destroy this world maybe a hundred times. But Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla didn’t give permission. All these weapons and all of what they think is strong will be finished Insha Allah. When the time comes and appears, it will be finished also.
Everything is in Allah’s Hand. He is doing what He likes to do. And now we are living in a time which is for testing people, testing believers.
Who’s a real believer and who’s not running after shaytan and his followers will be safe Insha Allah. May Allah make it near Insha Allah, not far Insha Allah.

ONE PERCENT IS ENOUGH Friday, 3 February 2023 / 12 Rajab 1444 Fajr Prayer, Sheikh Nazim Dergah – London.
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: ‘’La yukallifuLlahu nafsan illa wus’aha’’ “Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.’’(Qur’ān 02:286).
What Allah gives, what He orders, everybody can do. He is not giving more than what you can do. You can do easily. People and human beings can do what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla orders. But also, they are not doing.
Of course, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said to the Sahabah, “What I order, you must do a hundred percent. Ninety-nine percent is not enough for you. You must do a hundred percent.” But he said for Akhiru z-Zaman, end of times, there will be people, if they do one percent, it is okay also for them.
So this is the mercy of Allah, and mercy of Prophet sallaLlāhu‘alayhiwasallam . For his Ummah not to not forget Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, to remember Him. Even one percent can be enough for them. Because the important thing is to remember Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, to remember His order. Prophet said that when somebody from that time stands for praying, immediately when he says Takbir, “NawaytuSalatu Fard Dhuhr.” He makes “Allahu Akbar” quickly. But in some places, they are waiting
Page123
trying to make maybe two minutes, three minutes until they say Takbir; no need for this. You are Akhiru z-Zaman Ummah, just quickly make Niyyah/intention for prayer and say Takbir. After that, Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said that these people, after the Takbir they are thinking what they will do, where they will go, how’s work, how are the children, how’s Dunya. When they reach the last Rak’ah, they forget: “Did we pray three, we prayed five, we prayed two. What did we pray?” And they make Sajdat Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness), to cover [correct] the wrong they had done in praying: for what we forgot, or if we didn’t read something. They make two Sajdah for Allah to forgive them. This is acceptable.
We are living in a time which is a difficult time. But also, a blessed time for believers who are following the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We are not by our will in this time. By Allah’s wisdom, He put us in this time. And we must accept and be happy for His gift, His will that He made us on His way. This is important.
For this don’t make too much Waswas, “Is what we have done accepted or not accepted?” Of course, all what we do is nothing. But Allah with His Mercy, He created angels to correct what we do wrong even in reciting Qur’an, in praying or other things. In all of this, after you make intention and do as much as you can do, Allah forgives us for the rest and rewards usInsha Allah.
May Allah make us in His way and not be out of His way, Insha Allah.

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT Saturday, 4 February 2023 / 13 Rajab 1444 Fajr Prayer, Sheikh Nazim Dergah – London.
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.
Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying: “La Darar wala Dirar”, “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”
Which means, don’t harm. In Islam, there is no harming to anybody, and to do harm to anyone is forbidden. So you must know what you are doing. Without knowing, of course, Allah forgives us. But if you know, and from your envy, from your Hasad you harm people, it is not acceptable. And from Allah ‘Azza waJalla’s Justice, He doesn’t interfere in this.
If you do any sin, or you didn’t do other things [related to] Islam or what Allah ordered you, this is a sin, but He forgives. Allah forgives everything except what you do to somebody. This person must forgive you. This is the Justice of Allah. It is important. And it’s not easy to find [the person]. Maybe you disobey somebody or harm somebody, and he disappears. Where can you find him? Or he passes away, dies. How can you ask forgiveness from him, to forgive you and to be clean on Judgment Day?
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not changing. He is the only Real One. Nothing affects Him. So anytime you ask for forgiveness before you die, Allah forgives you. What you do wrong against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla; all of
Page125
this Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives. He is the Most Merciful, and He forgives.
But if you do [harm] for anybody, for human beings or for other things, you cannot be forgiven by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla unless you sincerely ask forgiveness, asking from Allah to find this man and to make him forgive you. It is difficult.
For this, before doing anything you must know what you are doing. Harming innocent people is not acceptable. If you are in war or another thing, Islam only allows to fight army, not fight innocent people, kill innocent people or harm them.
Even this, they were very sensitive about it. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam wasn’t putting any money with him. When he comes [back], he distributes it. Many times, he took loans from non-Muslims when they were in Madinah. And sometimes these non-Muslims were very tough, saying, “O you didn’t give me my loan!” So the Sahabah sometimes wanted to beat these people or harm them. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam quickly prevented them, [saying] “They have a right. And we will give them their right. Don’t say anything to them.”
It is very important to live with people in peace. Don’t think, “I am making Jihad” and harm people, innocent people. This is not acceptable. May Allah give Muslims good understanding, and to know what Allah and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are showing. If you do that, non-Muslims can accept Islam. But now, what they are showing is against that. They are showing Islam and Muslims as not good people. And this is from the ignorant ones who came maybe since 50 years ago, making Islam and showing Islam as very bad.
May Allah help us. May Allah keep us not following our egoInsha Allah

BE PLEASED WITH EVERY STATE Monday, 6 February 2023 / 15 Rajab 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.
“AlhamduliLlaha’la Kulli Hal”, “All praise and thanks be to Allah for every state.” Shukr to Allah, we made our Ziyarah. Insha’Allah it was full of Barakah. Our intention was the pleasure of Allah . We visited people in order to attain the pleasure of Allah. May their hearts feel rejoiced and be full of Iman Insha Allah. May the goal be good for the ending to be good. May Allah not separate us from the right way.
As we are living in the end of times now, people are having a tough time everywhere. Who holds onto the rope of Allah will be saved. Who doesn’t hold onto the rope of Allah, everything he does will go in vain.
Everything is in the Hand of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Everything that has to happen is in His Hand. You may accept it or not. If you accept it, all the sufferings and tests will return to you as Thawab. If you don’t accept, you will suffer for nothing and it will be useless. You will miss great things. You will miss from both sides.
Therefore, you must be happy and pleased with everything that comes from Allah. You must make Dua. Dua prevents accidents and disasters. Heavens and earth stand with Dua. For them to remain standing, you should always make Dua which is remembering Allah and turning to Allah. Whoever turns to Allah, Allah rewards him. Even if it seems like
Page127
punishment or badness, whoever trusts in Allah and relies on Allah, will not go empty handed. Allah protect him and reward himInsha Allah.
May Allah give this opportunity to all of us.
We must be happy for all good things that come. And may Allah protect us; if there is hardship, we must rely on Allah. He will remove that hardship insha’Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is powerful over everything. Don’t forget Him. Don’t go against Him and don’t rebel so that your life is not empty and without a reward. You must praise Him and make Shukr for the favours given by Allah. He has endless favors.
Every minute, not only every minute but every second and moment we are living with His generosity, virtue and blessing. Every breath is His favor to us. There are people who can’t breathe. We see many people who carry around machines. There are people with disabled parts. They go into various machines.
May Allah protect us. May Allah let us worship Him safely Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

TO BE PROTECTED FROM DISASTERS Tuesday, 7 February 2023 / 16 Rajab 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: “Mā ‘Asāba Min Musībatin `Illā Bi’idhniAllāhi ◌ۗWa Man Yu’umin Bi-LlāhiYahdiQalbahu’’ “No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah. And whoever believes in Allah He will guide his heart.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 64:11).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says when a disaster occurs everything happens with the order of Allah. Everything regarding people, how long they will live and when they will die, all of this happens with the order of Allah.
Certainly, a big disaster has occurred. It is a big thing. It has happened with the order of Allah. We cannot do anything against it. What we should do is rely on Allah and ask for Allah’s help so that Allah protects us.
As we are living in the end of times, things like this happen a lot. May Allah protect us. Yet, the best protection for everything is Sadaqah. People should give Sadaqah and ask for the protection of Allah from accidents and troubles. People are protected with Sadaqah.
Otherwise, it is unknown what may happen to people. The lives of people are tied to a cotton thread. They are under command of Allah And
Page129
Allah does whatever He wants. May Allah protect us. May Allah give patience to people. It is a tough and great disaster. Allah will help themInsha Allah. He will give them rewards and Thawab. And He will protect the rest of them Insha Allah.
What can we say? You cannot go against the order of Allah. “We do this and that.” When the command of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla comes, no solution is effective.
Nevertheless, it is good to take precautions; physical precautions and spiritual precautions like Sadaqah, repenting and asking for forgiveness and protection of Allah. These precautions must be taken.
Not only physical precautions, but also spiritual precautions are necessary. Giving continuously by asking for protection of Allah. Sadaqah and seeking refuge in Allah is the greatest protection for us. Allah will protect us whenever He wants. Even if nothing happens, He will still protect us. Who doesn’t rely on Allah won’t escape the order of Allah no matter what he does. Therefore, relying on Allah and seeking refuge in Allah are necessary.
May Allah help us. May Allah protect us. “It is coming like this and like that” Protection against it is through Dua to Allah. Otherwise, the condition of people is tough. May Allah help us.
As we said, as we are in the end of times, our Holy Prophet had mentioned that in the end of times there would be many floods, earthquakes, fires and other disasters. May Allah protect us. May Allah give patience to people Insha Allah. May Allah help them. It is tough in the winter.
May Allah help us.

IMPORTANT IS IMAN Wenesday, 8 February 2023 / 17 Rajab 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.
‘’InnaAllāha Yumsikus-Samāwāti Wa Al-‘Arda ‘An Tazūlā, WaLa’ inZālatā ‘In ‘Amsakahumā Min ‘Aĥadin Min Ba’dih’’ “Indeed, Allah holds the heavens and the earth, lest they cease. And if they should cease, no one could hold them [in place] after Him.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 35:41).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the One who holds the heavens and earth in His Hand of Power. If He doesn’t want it, nothing can stand in its place.
Therefore, the Greatness and Superiority of Allah must be known to people. But many people don’t accept it. Those who accept it are in profit, Shukr to Allah. Those who believe in Allah are in profit, because this world doesn’t last forever. Life lasts until a certain point. And then people will go up the Presence of Allah. There will be people who regret what they did here and those who are happy then. Do not be from those who will regret.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives tests. Those who pass the test will get through. A test is not necessarily through a trouble. It is through goodness and favors as well. Some people forget Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla when they have a lot of favors. They don’t believe in Allah and talk nonsense. They think they are important and brag around. However, the place
Page131
where everyone will end up is the Presence of Allah. The truth will be shown there, and many people will regret what they did then.
It is the majority of people. Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan as well that the majority is without Iman, without belief. They look at each other and think they are doing something important, whereas they are losing. They are losing their lives. They are losing their Akhirah. They are losing the real life.
A lost life here can be profitable hereafter for many people. Those who die with belief in Allah in an accident, hardship, an earthquake or elsewhere, those who die as believers in Allah approach great ranks in the Sight of Allah even though it seems like suffering here.
It is important to go with Iman from here to Akhirah. There is passing away as Shaheed and passing away as dead. People who go with Iman are Shaheed. Those who don’t believe in Allah just suffer here and will suffer in Akhirah. Therefore, this point is important.
Shukr to Allah, when something happens here, everyone helps each other for the pleasure of Allah. It shows the beauty and Iman of our nation. People are running from all sides. Sometimes you look and lose hope in them. But Allah gives such a thing that the Iman left inside them makes them run around for the pleasure of Allah and make service.
Through the Barakah that came from our ancestors, it shows that Iman is still there, Shukr to Allah. May Allah make it even more. May Allah not separate us from Iman.

TO ATTAIN GOOD TIDINGS Thursday, 9 February 2023 / 18 Rajab 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: “Al-Ladhīna `ĀmanūWaKānūYattaqūna (63) Lahumu AlBushra Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-DunyāWaFī l-‘Ākhirati’’ “Those who believed and were fearing Allah (63) For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter.’’(Qur’ān 10:63-64).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says there are good tidings both here and hereafter to those who have Iman and fear Allah. Those who have Iman fear Allah. Those who don’t have Iman don’t fear Allah. When they are not afraid of Allah, they can do anything.
Therefore, good people are those who have Iman. Because they are afraid of Allah, they want everything to be the way Allah wants it. Everything they do is for the pleasure of Allah. They don’t cause suffering or oppress people. They have conscience. Otherwise, those who have no Iman have no conscience, no manners, nothing. They have no humanity. They are inclined to harm people at every opportunity. And they do so. They oppress others as much as they can by thinking they get benefit out of it.
Those who believe are not like this. Therefore, Allah has given them good tidings both here and hereafter. It is a great favor from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. When it is otherwise, it is the complete opposite. People
Page133
who are not afraid of Allah, who don’t have Iman and who oppress others have nothing but suffering and punishment here and hereafter.
Therefore, we must pay attention to this. We must rely on Allah and believe in Allah so that everything goes smoothly both here and hereafter. It is the word of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He is the one who does everything. Everything is in His Hand. Believe in Him so that you attain good tidings and your work goes smoothly here and hereafter.

For this, you must look for the good thing, what’s of benefit for you. “Tayyib” means what is of benefit for yourself, for your body and for your soul also. Because it affects both sides.
We are living in a time when there’s many from food, from drink and such. And human beings cannot control themselves; they want more and more. And when they eat, they after that become ill. From where is this coming? Of course from what you eat. I think it is a Hadith. “The stomach is the house of diseases, and diet is the best medicine.” I don’t know if it is a Hadith, but maybe.

For this, now these people also look at what Islam is saying, and after that say, “Yes. This is very important.” What Islam is ordering is this good thing. And beside this, it is ordering to fast. When you fast, they said that what is not good Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created our body to be enough for us, no need for other things such as medicine or something. When you fast, your body eats this bad thing and throws it away.

May Allah make us in His way and not be out of His way, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT Saturday, 4 February 2023 / 13 Rajab 1444 Fajr Prayer, Sheikh Nazim Dergah – London.
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.
Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying: “La Darar wala Dirar”, “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”
Which means, don’t harm. In Islam, there is no harming to anybody, and to do harm to anyone is forbidden. So you must know what you are doing. Without knowing, of course, Allah forgives us. But if you know, and from your envy, from your Hasad you harm people, it is not acceptable. And from Allah ‘Azza waJalla’s Justice, He doesn’t interfere in this.
If you do any sin, or you didn’t do other things [related to] Islam or what Allah ordered you, this is a sin, but He forgives. Allah forgives everything except what you do to somebody. This person must forgive you. This is the Justice of Allah. It is important. And it’s not easy to find [the person]. Maybe you disobey somebody or harm somebody, and he disappears. Where can you find him? Or he passes away, dies. How can you ask forgiveness from him, to forgive you and to be clean on Judgment Day?
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not changing. He is the only Real One. Nothing affects Him. So anytime you ask for forgiveness before you die, Allah forgives you. What you do wrong against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla; all of
Page125
this Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives. He is the Most Merciful, and He forgives.
But if you do [harm] for anybody, for human beings or for other things, you cannot be forgiven by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla unless you sincerely ask forgiveness, asking from Allah to find this man and to make him forgive you. It is difficult.
For this, before doing anything you must know what you are doing. Harming innocent people is not acceptable. If you are in war or another thing, Islam only allows to fight army, not fight innocent people, kill innocent people or harm them.
Even this, they were very sensitive about it. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhiwasallam wasn’t putting any money with him. When he comes [back], he distributes it. Many times, he took loans from non-Muslims when they were in Madinah. And sometimes these non-Muslims were very tough, saying, “O you didn’t give me my loan!” So the Sahabah sometimes wanted to beat these people or harm them. Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam quickly prevented them, [saying] “They have a right. And we will give them their right. Don’t say anything to them.”
It is very important to live with people in peace. Don’t think, “I am making Jihad” and harm people, innocent people. This is not acceptable. May Allah give Muslims good understanding, and to know what Allah and Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are showing. If you do that, non-Muslims can accept Islam. But now, what they are showing is against that. They are showing Islam and Muslims as not good people. And this is from the ignorant ones who came maybe since 50 years ago, making Islam and showing Islam as very bad.
May Allah help us. May Allah keep us not following our egoInsha Allah

BE PLEASED WITH EVERY STATE Monday, 6 February 2023 / 15 Rajab 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.
“AlhamduliLlaha’la Kulli Hal”, “All praise and thanks be to Allah for every state.” Shukr to Allah, we made our Ziyarah. Insha’Allah it was full of Barakah. Our intention was the pleasure of Allah . We visited people in order to attain the pleasure of Allah. May their hearts feel rejoiced and be full of Iman Insha Allah. May the goal be good for the ending to be good. May Allah not separate us from the right way.
As we are living in the end of times now, people are having a tough time everywhere. Who holds onto the rope of Allah will be saved. Who doesn’t hold onto the rope of Allah, everything he does will go in vain.
Everything is in the Hand of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Everything that has to happen is in His Hand. You may accept it or not. If you accept it, all the sufferings and tests will return to you as Thawab. If you don’t accept, you will suffer for nothing and it will be useless. You will miss great things. You will miss from both sides.
Therefore, you must be happy and pleased with everything that comes from Allah. You must make Dua. Dua prevents accidents and disasters. Heavens and earth stand with Dua. For them to remain standing, you should always make Dua which is remembering Allah and turning to Allah. Whoever turns to Allah, Allah rewards him. Even if it seems like
Page127
punishment or badness, whoever trusts in Allah and relies on Allah, will not go empty handed. Allah protect him and reward himInsha Allah.
May Allah give this opportunity to all of us.
We must be happy for all good things that come. And may Allah protect us; if there is hardship, we must rely on Allah. He will remove that hardship insha’Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is powerful over everything. Don’t forget Him. Don’t go against Him and don’t rebel so that your life is not empty and without a reward. You must praise Him and make Shukr for the favours given by Allah. He has endless favors.
Every minute, not only every minute but every second and moment we are living with His generosity, virtue and blessing. Every breath is His favor to us. There are people who can’t breathe. We see many people who carry around machines. There are people with disabled parts. They go into various machines.
May Allah protect us. May Allah let us worship Him safely Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

TO BE PROTECTED FROM DISASTERS Tuesday, 7 February 2023 / 16 Rajab 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: “Mā ‘Asāba Min Musībatin `Illā Bi’idhniAllāhi ◌ۗWa Man Yu’umin Bi-LlāhiYahdiQalbahu’’ “No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah. And whoever believes in Allah He will guide his heart.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 64:11).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says when a disaster occurs everything happens with the order of Allah. Everything regarding people, how long they will live and when they will die, all of this happens with the order of Allah.
Certainly, a big disaster has occurred. It is a big thing. It has happened with the order of Allah. We cannot do anything against it. What we should do is rely on Allah and ask for Allah’s help so that Allah protects us.
As we are living in the end of times, things like this happen a lot. May Allah protect us. Yet, the best protection for everything is Sadaqah. People should give Sadaqah and ask for the protection of Allah from accidents and troubles. People are protected with Sadaqah.
Otherwise, it is unknown what may happen to people. The lives of people are tied to a cotton thread. They are under command of Allah And
Page129
Allah does whatever He wants. May Allah protect us. May Allah give patience to people. It is a tough and great disaster. Allah will help themInsha Allah. He will give them rewards and Thawab. And He will protect the rest of them Insha Allah.
What can we say? You cannot go against the order of Allah. “We do this and that.” When the command of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla comes, no solution is effective.
Nevertheless, it is good to take precautions; physical precautions and spiritual precautions like Sadaqah, repenting and asking for forgiveness and protection of Allah. These precautions must be taken.
Not only physical precautions, but also spiritual precautions are necessary. Giving continuously by asking for protection of Allah. Sadaqah and seeking refuge in Allah is the greatest protection for us. Allah will protect us whenever He wants. Even if nothing happens, He will still protect us. Who doesn’t rely on Allah won’t escape the order of Allah no matter what he does. Therefore, relying on Allah and seeking refuge in Allah are necessary.
May Allah help us. May Allah protect us. “It is coming like this and like that” Protection against it is through Dua to Allah. Otherwise, the condition of people is tough. May Allah help us.
As we said, as we are in the end of times, our Holy Prophet had mentioned that in the end of times there would be many floods, earthquakes, fires and other disasters. May Allah protect us. May Allah give patience to people Insha Allah. May Allah help them. It is tough in the winter.
May Allah help us.

IMPORTANT IS IMAN Wenesday, 8 February 2023 / 17 Rajab 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.
‘’InnaAllāha Yumsikus-Samāwāti Wa Al-‘Arda ‘An Tazūlā, WaLa’ inZālatā ‘In ‘Amsakahumā Min ‘Aĥadin Min Ba’dih’’ “Indeed, Allah holds the heavens and the earth, lest they cease. And if they should cease, no one could hold them [in place] after Him.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l‘Aẓīm.(Qur’ān 35:41).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the One who holds the heavens and earth in His Hand of Power. If He doesn’t want it, nothing can stand in its place.
Therefore, the Greatness and Superiority of Allah must be known to people. But many people don’t accept it. Those who accept it are in profit, Shukr to Allah. Those who believe in Allah are in profit, because this world doesn’t last forever. Life lasts until a certain point. And then people will go up the Presence of Allah. There will be people who regret what they did here and those who are happy then. Do not be from those who will regret.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives tests. Those who pass the test will get through. A test is not necessarily through a trouble. It is through goodness and favors as well. Some people forget Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla when they have a lot of favors. They don’t believe in Allah and talk nonsense. They think they are important and brag around. However, the place
Page131
where everyone will end up is the Presence of Allah. The truth will be shown there, and many people will regret what they did then.
It is the majority of people. Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan as well that the majority is without Iman, without belief. They look at each other and think they are doing something important, whereas they are losing. They are losing their lives. They are losing their Akhirah. They are losing the real life.
A lost life here can be profitable hereafter for many people. Those who die with belief in Allah in an accident, hardship, an earthquake or elsewhere, those who die as believers in Allah approach great ranks in the Sight of Allah even though it seems like suffering here.
It is important to go with Iman from here to Akhirah. There is passing away as Shaheed and passing away as dead. People who go with Iman are Shaheed. Those who don’t believe in Allah just suffer here and will suffer in Akhirah. Therefore, this point is important.
Shukr to Allah, when something happens here, everyone helps each other for the pleasure of Allah. It shows the beauty and Iman of our nation. People are running from all sides. Sometimes you look and lose hope in them. But Allah gives such a thing that the Iman left inside them makes them run around for the pleasure of Allah and make service.
Through the Barakah that came from our ancestors, it shows that Iman is still there, Shukr to Allah. May Allah make it even more. May Allah not separate us from Iman.

TO ATTAIN GOOD TIDINGS Thursday, 9 February 2023 / 18 Rajab 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: “Al-Ladhīna `ĀmanūWaKānūYattaqūna (63) Lahumu AlBushra Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-DunyāWaFī l-‘Ākhirati’’ “Those who believed and were fearing Allah (63) For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter.’’(Qur’ān 10:63-64).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says there are good tidings both here and hereafter to those who have Iman and fear Allah. Those who have Iman fear Allah. Those who don’t have Iman don’t fear Allah. When they are not afraid of Allah, they can do anything.
Therefore, good people are those who have Iman. Because they are afraid of Allah, they want everything to be the way Allah wants it. Everything they do is for the pleasure of Allah. They don’t cause suffering or oppress people. They have conscience. Otherwise, those who have no Iman have no conscience, no manners, nothing. They have no humanity. They are inclined to harm people at every opportunity. And they do so. They oppress others as much as they can by thinking they get benefit out of it.
Those who believe are not like this. Therefore, Allah has given them good tidings both here and hereafter. It is a great favor from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. When it is otherwise, it is the complete opposite. People
Page133
who are not afraid of Allah, who don’t have Iman and who oppress others have nothing but suffering and punishment here and hereafter.
Therefore, we must pay attention to this. We must rely on Allah and believe in Allah so that everything goes smoothly both here and hereafter. It is the word of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He is the one who does everything. Everything is in His Hand. Believe in Him so that you attain good tidings and your work goes smoothly here and hereafter.
