CONSTRUCTION OF TIME Sunday, 1 January 2023 / 7 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
This year has passed by. Another year is coming Insha Allah. A year is gone from our life. And we are one year closer to Akhirah. These years in the end of times are like our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam said: “Constriction of Time.”
Time is passing very quickly. It is getting closer. One year ends immediately and another year comes.
It is impossible to reach it and stop it. This is the law of Allah, the law of the Creator; the natural order of things. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything in order for people to benefit from them. As a test and as benefit. The wisdom of Allah in everything is endless. For mankind to benefit from this wisdom, He created everything. Some people benefit from it, and some people pass away without getting any benefit. But they will be brought to account. If they repent, Allah will forgive all their account. May Allah forgive us.
We cannot prevent what is done. As we cannot prevent it, we don’t accept these sins,and the bad things that are done with our hearts and tongues.
Page24
You should say: “Allahummainnahadhamunkarun la nardabihi”, “O’ Allah this is a wrongdoing we dont accept.” You should say, “This is a wrongdoing. These are not good things but sins. We don’t accept what is done. Forgive us and protect us”.
Because when someone commits sins, darkness comes down. Darkness falls on the country wherever it is done. Therefore, we repent and ask forgiveness for that darkness to be lifted. May Allah forgive all of us. May He forgive our condition Insha Allah. As we said, it is a chance for shaytan to take people into more sins. May Allah give them guidance. May Allah protect us from the committed sins.
Children and youngsters don’t know life yet. They are cheated a lot. Bad things are shown as good. And good things are shown as bad. Good people are shown and taught as bad. And bad people are shown as good ones. We ask that Allah gives them mind and understanding. People don’t realize when they are young, but they understand later. Many people may pass away even without realizing it. They go with their sins and faults. Therefore, may Allah give them guidance. May Allah bring good people across us Insha Allah.
This year is over. May the next year be a better year for Islam and Muslims Insha Allah. May Allah send the Sahib. We are without a head, without a Sahib. Therefore, they are playing like toys with us. We are letting ourselves to be attacked. We are letting ourselves to be harmed. And we are destroying ourselves.
May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE Sunday, 1 January 2023 / 8 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Eyüp Sultan Dergah, Istanbul.
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.
Abu Ayyub Al Ansari Madad. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem : ‘’Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-LlahaWaKūnūMa’ asSādiqīn’’(Qur’ān 09:119). ‘’O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful’’.
It is the order of Allah Azza waJalla. Those who believe must be with people who are truthful. Truthful means: A person who is on the right way, who is going straight. He says to be with them. Allah Azza waJalla says to be with people who do not lie to you, who do not cheat you, and who do not want to harm you. Allah Azza waJalla says this because of His Mercy towards us.
Allah Azza waJalla says not to be with bad people. Of course, human beings get along with all kinds of people. But they try to be with the good ones. If he is to make friends or companions, he will do so with the good ones. If they are not like that, to give advice, he can be with everyone. But people who benefit the most, people who want to benefit the most must be together with the friends of Allah, those who love Allah, those who love the Awliya and those who love the Companions and Ahlu l-Bayt, so that they become a beloved servant of Allah, and to stay away from the evil and shaytan, they must be with these people. It brings them closer to Allah. Allah Azza waJalla will be happy.
Page26
The repentance of Allah Azza waJalla’s servant makes Him very happy, says our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam explains this with an example: While a man was on his way through the desert with his camel, he arrived at a place. Of course, he stops to rest. He sets his camel aside and sits next to it. He sleeps, while the camel rests.
Then this man wakes up and looks: there is no camel, his camel has escaped. In the desert there is neither a way nor a trail [to find the camel]. It’s not like you can walk anyway. A person will perish in a day. There’s neither water, nor food nor anything else.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “As much as this person will be happy when he finds his camel, this is how much Allah Azza waJalla rejoices when His servant repents.” Allah Azza waJalla is the Most Merciful. Because of His Mercy for people, He wants them to be on the right way. Of course, this is achieved by being with good people. When a person is not with good people, everything becomes bad and terrible, and his life goes to waste.
Years are passing. Heedless people are happy that the year is over. People are happy that life is passing. Whereas that life is your most precious treasure. If you were to give millions for every passing minute of your life, you still wouldn`t be able to bring it back.
They waste it in vain. They get bored whereas there is nothing as being bored. When a person is with Allah, he cannot get bored. Likewise when he prays. Worship, make Tasbihat, read the Qur’an and learn good knowledge. They will all benefit you and you will gain rewards. You will also rise in rank, and you will have peace on the inside and be comfortable.
Otherwise, people do things that are of no benefit instead, and they think they are having fun. The next day, they wake up with darkness. They wake up with sickness and lack of Barakah. That’s because they
Page27
are not on the way of Allah Azza waJalla and they are living in rebellion against Allah. If Allah Azza waJalla grants repentance to those people, their repentance will still be accepted. As long as a person is breathing, Allah Azza waJalla has given this opportunity.
The Door of Repentance is open for people who ask forgiveness from Allah. When does the Door of Repentance close? In the end of times, when the Qiyamah is near, the sun will rise from the west. Some people now say, “It is like this. It is like that. No, what is intended here is different.” They say that the sun does not rise directly from the West. No, this is what will happen. This is what our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said. It is one of the great signs and great indications of Qiyamah. After it happens, repentance will not be accepted. Or, after the last breath, the repentance of people who say, “I repent in the grave, I repent on the resurrection day, I repent in Hell,” their repentance will not be accepted. Whatever you have done and how many sins you have committed while in this world, Allah Azza waJalla forgives them. The forgiveness of Allah Azza waJalla is great.
That is why, the people of Tasawwuf/Sufism and the people of truth are sad about the sins of people and ask Allah to guide them, because guidance is from Allah. They always make this Dua: “May Allah have mercy on mankind, grant them Iman in their hearts, make them repent and ask forgiveness for their sins, make them regret it, and may Allah forgive them too.” Others curse them and swear at them.
Cursing and swearing is not good. What is good is goodness. If the Dua that comes out of your mouth is accepted, they will be guided as well. It would be of more goodness and of more Barakah for everyone to live with good people. We live in a bad time. The more bad people increase, the more darkness descends.
Therefore, what we want and what we ask for from Allah is to guide people and protect the youth and children. Because we live in a time when they are attacking youngsters and children the most. They want to
Page28
take them to their own way. Their own way is the way of shaytan, and it is not a good way. May Allah protect all the children and youth of the Ummah of Muhammad.
Because we live in the end of times, we live in a difficult time in every respect. Sin can now be committed easily everywhere. Doing goodness is more difficult for people.Therefore, may Allah Azza waJalla protect us and forgive our mistakes. We should not shame others. It is our duty to always control our ego and not to make it bigger. If you say things like, “I am good. I have reached this rank. I have reached that rank” may Allah protect us, but if Allah turns your hearts in a minute, your foot will slip then! That’s why, always ask for Madad from the Awliya and the holy ones. With Madad, their spiritual strength will reach you. It reaches you wherever you are with Allah’s permission.
Alhamdulillah, today we visited the holy one Sayyidina Abu Ayyub Al Ansari. Maa Sha Allah it takes five minutes till you enter through one door and five minutes till you exit through the other door. It is so crowded and Maa Sha Allah so many people are coming to visit. They are the Sultans of this place. With their Himmah and Barakah, this city is Islam’s capital. Istanbul is the place of the caliphate. With their Barakah, the Islamic world stands. Because they want to end it from all sides. But Allah does not give them an opportunity and preserves itInsha Allah. These holy ones are a great treasure. These holy ones are a strength for Istanbul, Turkey and the entire Islamic world.
Shukr to Allah, those who come to visit do not return empty-handed. Those who come to them and recite 1 Fatiha and 3 Ikhlas, surely they will be given a spiritual gift. Their names will be preserved Insha Allah. Their Iman will also be preserved Insha Allah.
May Allah be pleased with all of you.

USE YOUR MINDS Monday, 2 January 2023 / 9 Jumada al-Akhir 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: ‘’La-a’llakumta’kiloon’,’‘’That you might understand.’’ (Qur’ān 12:02).
Allah ‘Azza waJalla is saying to use your mind in order to see the Greatness and Power of Allah ’Azza waJalla in His creatures. Don’t think about the essence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Think about His Greatness. Think about all the lives and universes Hecreated. You cannot reach the essence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You can never come close to it. A person who tries to understand the essence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla by using his mind will lose it.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given mind to everyone. They must use their minds. Some people assume they are very clever, whereas they cannot use their minds in some things. They use it in some things and can’t use it in other things. For example, we are in the middle of winter. The weather is sunny and warm. A person who can’t use his mind completely says, “What a beautiful weather! It is so sunny and warm. And we are walking around”. But the peasant whose mind is unfavored by people gets upset. There is no rain, there is no cold. It is bad for the future, for our food we have planted. When cold doesn’t come and doesn’t kill the pests, these pests will reproduce in summer and eat the trees and plants. His thinking is more intelligent from this perspective. He is clev-
Page30
erer than people who think they are very clever and say “How nice! So sunny and warm” and walk around.This is a greater level of mind given by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people who think about what will happen in the future. They are cleverer. Because people live in this world and don’t think about the future. They don’t think about Akhirah. They think this is the only life. Millions and billions of people like you had passed away from this world. None of them was able to take something with them. This world is still there like it was without lacking anything. What will lack is you.
Therefore, you can’t take anything from this world. You will take it from Akhirah. You must think about Akhirah. They say, “We are having fun and enjoying it here as we have money.” But it has its end. Just like people are happy about the sunny and warm weather, they will not know what to do when they run out of water. There are many people who will not know what to do. It is the same for Akhirah. You must think. You must use your mind.Allah gave mind to people to make them different from other creatures. As He gave them mind, there are duties to do. If they don’t do them, their Akhirah will be disappointing. They will then wish if only they didn’t have mind. They will wish if only they were animals and weren’t brought to account. They will say if only we didn’t have so many troubles.
May Allah protect us. As we said many times, may Allah give mind and understanding. May Allah help us use our mind for the better Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE VALUE OF ISTIGHFAR Tuesday, 3 January 2023 / 10 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “IstaghfirūRabbakum ‘InnahuKānaGhaffārāan (10) Yursili AsSamā`a `Alaykum Midrārāan (11) WaYumdidkumBi`amwālinWaBanīnaWaYaj`al Lakum Jannātin Wa Yaj`al Lakum ‘Anhārāan (12)’’ (Qur’ān 71:10-12).
“Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver (10) He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers (11) And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers (12).” SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “Ask forgiveness from Allah so that Allah sends you rain and Barakah, so that He sends you offsprings, money and wealth”. This is the advice of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people.
If you ask forgiveness from Allah Before making Dua for rain, they used to repent and make Istighfar and then make Dua for rain. Allah gives His Barakah then. Everything has its principles and pillars. Who applies it certainly benefits from it. The benefit of Akhirah is better and more. But it is also in Dunya; Allah still gives Barakah.Repenting and asking forgiveness is important. “I didn’t commit a sin. I didn’t do anything”. There is not a person without a sin. Everyone has certainly made a mistake or a sin. They have faults and things they did by being aware or unaware of them. We should repent and ask forgiveness for them.
Page32
Don’t say “I didn’t do”. Even our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam says, “I make Istighfar 70 times a day”. A Prophet is infallible. And Allah doesn’t let our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam who is the greatest of all Prophets commit a sin at all. He doesn’t do it. Yet, He says, “I make Istighfar 70 times a day”.
People should also repent and make Istighfar at least 70, 100, or more than 100 times a day, or as much as they can. Its benefit is enormous. When people commit a sin, Allah doesn’t allow angels to write it down until eight hours have passed. If you repent until that time, they won’t write it down. Even if you repent afterwards, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will erase what is written. We have such a Merciful and Majestic Lord.
We should always praise Him and make Shukr to Him for the blessings and beauties He gives us. To glorify and exalt Him is the duty of every Muslim. Dunya is not our duty. Our duty is to glorify Allah ‘Azza waJalla and to make Him happy. Allah is happy when His servant repents and asks forgiveness. It is beneficial to us. There is no greater benefit than it.
If you honor the people in this world, everyone knows that you do it for a personal benefit. The benefit is with Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If you want benefit, obey Allah ‘Azza waJalla, glorify and exalt Him. No need for anyone else. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who gives everything. May Allah make this beauty everlasting for all of us Insha Allah. May He make it everlasting for Muslims. May they not look for it here and there. What they should look for: Allah says, “Make Dua to Me and look for Me.”
May Allah help us. May He give strength of Iman to all of us Insha Allah. May Allah increase His goodness. May Allah give good rain and every Barakah.
May Allah protect Muslims from Fitnah and evil Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

HIS HADITHS ARE THE LIGHT Wednesday, 4 January 2023 / 11 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “May whoever says what I didn’t say be cursed by Allah”. After the Qur’an, the words of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam show us the way, the way of Islam and what we should do.
There are Muhaddiths, may Allah be pleased with them. They collected the Hadiths. They collected the Hadiths and the holy words of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam very accurately and made books of them. May Allah be pleased with them.
The knowledge of Hadith is a great knowledge, because not everyone can understand only from the Qur’an. There must be an interpretation of Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan. And the explanation of the interpretation comes from the Hadiths of our Holy Prophet, by attaining virtues from them.
The rulings of Islam, rulings of worship and all kinds of things, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has completed it in a perfect condition. People who follow it reach happiness. And who goes by the ruling and words of others will never be in comfort and will never have peace. They always change it. They will always change it. While they are saying, “It is so now, we should make it different later”, they will turn it into a useless thing.
Page34
Therefore, the ruling of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is for Muslims. They should follow it and perform it as much as they can. Allah ‘Azza waJalla is Merciful no matter how much we do. But it is wrong to deny it. If you deny it, you will go against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who goes against Allah will never succeed. If the whole world, not only the whole world but if the whole universe goes against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, it has no ruling.
Only the ruling of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla applies. Whatever they do is nonsense, worthless and of no importance.
Therefore, the Hadiths of our Holy Prophet are the Nur/light. They are a great virtue to those who read them and to those who teach its knowledge. Their ranks are high in the sight of Allah. People who did it did so for the pleasure of Allah. They did so as service to Islam. All of that has happened by the will of Allah, otherwise this knowledgewould not have appeared. Allah has given it to great scholars and great Imams to preserve the religion, Shukr to Allah.
He has given it to them. But we will always receive their virtues. People who follow the way of those people, who follow the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet are certainly in profit. That is the profit. The profit of this world is until the grave, but that one is forever.
May Allahmake us successful in attaining our share from that knowledge. We are Talib Ilim, Seekers of Knowledge Insha Allah. We are students of knowledge until the grave, because it is Fard for Muslims to demand knowledge from the cradle until the grave. That is it for us. We are not students of anything else. We are students of knowledge beloved by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
We are students of all possible ways that lead to Allah Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WHAT TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN FIRST Thursday, 5 January 2023 / 12 Jumada al-Akhir 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: “A-lā bi-dhikrillāhitaṭmainnu l-qulūb”, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”(Qur’ān 13:28).
Hearts find satisfaction with the Dhikr of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People find peace by always remembering Allah. That is why our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that the first thing you should teach your children when they start to speak is to say “Allah”. Their tongues should get used to it. Their tongues should develop with the name of Allah so that their lives are good and Allah protects them.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that even a baby attains great goodness with mentioning the name of Allah among the things you teach them, you should teach about Allah.Everyone is worried about education now. What will the children do? Which school will they attend? Which college will they go to? Which university will they go to? The whole world is always busy with this. It is quite old. What we mean by old is that it slowly started 30-40 years ago. But now it has become intense. There is nothing else they think about. Whereas Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says people should be busy with the Dhikr of Allah. Who is busy with the Dhikr of Allah attains peace.
Studying or putting through school are not important. Because what’s important is to know Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If you want to put children
Page36
through school, you must put them where they let them know and teach them about Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is beneficial to know this. And the rest everyone studies something and lives his life. That is not the main goal. The goal is to know Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and to attain His pleasure.
As we said, a person who lives with the Dhikr of Allah from infancy until the end of his life attains the pleasure of Allah. He is a beloved servant of Allah. Who is busy with other things and forgets Allah has no value in the sight of Allah no matter what. And in the sight of people also people like him spend time with him, follow him and stay by his side for their personal interests. That is not for something else but just for personal interest. But whoever strives for the pleasure of Allah, loves people with the love of Allahalways and is together with them is with good people then.
May the Dhikr of Allah remain in our hearts Insha Allah. And we make Dua that people always remember Allahand make His Dhikr Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE SPECIAL VIRTUES OF FRIDAY Friday, 6 January 2023 / 13 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
Friday is a blessed day. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made it special to our Holy Prophet and his Ummah. The best of days is Friday. There is Jum’ah prayer on Friday, of course.
It is not permissible to buy and sell during the time of Jum’ah prayer. Muslims must know this. People can arrange their time accordingly. They say buying and selling during the time of Jum’ah is even Haram according to some. It changes according to Madhhabs. People, Muslims must be careful about it. Whoever has a shop must close it then. Employees who are obliged to work sometimes cannot go. They should at least attend Jum’ah once in three weeks. They shouldn’t miss it. Friday is a very blessed day. It has lots of benefits. It has many worldly benefits too. Whoever observes it, certainly Allah ‘Azza waJalla gives more if they close and don’t work for half an hour or an hour, or don’t do shopping.
There are Sunnahs of Friday. There are great benefits for those who can do them. There is Ghusl/full ablution on Friday. It is Sunnah to make Ghusl on Friday. It brings both health and Barakah. And you attain its Thawab. People should certainly do it.
Page38
Also, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says a person who leaves his house after making Ghusl and goes to the mosque for Jum’ahprayer, for every step of his it will be counted as if he has worshipped for a year. It has such a great Thawab for every step. Not just till the mosque, but as many steps you make, you get Thawab of a year for every step, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
The treasures in the presence of Allah never finish, because they are not like in this world. They cheat people now by saying, “I will give you this much and that much. You give one now and will earn so much.” The treasures in the presence of Allah are inexhaustible. You can make a million steps if you want, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will still give you Thawab of a year for every step.
Therefore, make sure to benefit from the virtues of Friday. There are Tasbihat. And there is an hour of response on this day, the hour when Dua is accepted. Make Dua constantly on this day, on Friday. May Allah bless all our Fridays.

CONSTRUCTION OF TIME Sunday, 1 January 2023 / 7 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
This year has passed by. Another year is coming Insha Allah. A year is gone from our life. And we are one year closer to Akhirah. These years in the end of times are like our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam said: “Constriction of Time.”
Time is passing very quickly. It is getting closer. One year ends immediately and another year comes.
It is impossible to reach it and stop it. This is the law of Allah, the law of the Creator; the natural order of things. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything in order for people to benefit from them. As a test and as benefit. The wisdom of Allah in everything is endless. For mankind to benefit from this wisdom, He created everything. Some people benefit from it, and some people pass away without getting any benefit. But they will be brought to account. If they repent, Allah will forgive all their account. May Allah forgive us.
We cannot prevent what is done. As we cannot prevent it, we don’t accept these sins,and the bad things that are done with our hearts and tongues.
Page24
You should say: “Allahummainnahadhamunkarun la nardabihi”, “O’ Allah this is a wrongdoing we dont accept.” You should say, “This is a wrongdoing. These are not good things but sins. We don’t accept what is done. Forgive us and protect us”.
Because when someone commits sins, darkness comes down. Darkness falls on the country wherever it is done. Therefore, we repent and ask forgiveness for that darkness to be lifted. May Allah forgive all of us. May He forgive our condition Insha Allah. As we said, it is a chance for shaytan to take people into more sins. May Allah give them guidance. May Allah protect us from the committed sins.
Children and youngsters don’t know life yet. They are cheated a lot. Bad things are shown as good. And good things are shown as bad. Good people are shown and taught as bad. And bad people are shown as good ones. We ask that Allah gives them mind and understanding. People don’t realize when they are young, but they understand later. Many people may pass away even without realizing it. They go with their sins and faults. Therefore, may Allah give them guidance. May Allah bring good people across us Insha Allah.
This year is over. May the next year be a better year for Islam and Muslims Insha Allah. May Allah send the Sahib. We are without a head, without a Sahib. Therefore, they are playing like toys with us. We are letting ourselves to be attacked. We are letting ourselves to be harmed. And we are destroying ourselves.
May Allah protect us.

THE MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE Sunday, 1 January 2023 / 8 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Eyüp Sultan Dergah, Istanbul.
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.
Abu Ayyub Al Ansari Madad. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem : ‘’Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-LlahaWaKūnūMa’ asSādiqīn’’(Qur’ān 09:119). ‘’O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful’’.
It is the order of Allah Azza waJalla. Those who believe must be with people who are truthful. Truthful means: A person who is on the right way, who is going straight. He says to be with them. Allah Azza waJalla says to be with people who do not lie to you, who do not cheat you, and who do not want to harm you. Allah Azza waJalla says this because of His Mercy towards us.
Allah Azza waJalla says not to be with bad people. Of course, human beings get along with all kinds of people. But they try to be with the good ones. If he is to make friends or companions, he will do so with the good ones. If they are not like that, to give advice, he can be with everyone. But people who benefit the most, people who want to benefit the most must be together with the friends of Allah, those who love Allah, those who love the Awliya and those who love the Companions and Ahlu l-Bayt, so that they become a beloved servant of Allah, and to stay away from the evil and shaytan, they must be with these people. It brings them closer to Allah. Allah Azza waJalla will be happy.
Page26
The repentance of Allah Azza waJalla’s servant makes Him very happy, says our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam explains this with an example: While a man was on his way through the desert with his camel, he arrived at a place. Of course, he stops to rest. He sets his camel aside and sits next to it. He sleeps, while the camel rests.
Then this man wakes up and looks: there is no camel, his camel has escaped. In the desert there is neither a way nor a trail [to find the camel]. It’s not like you can walk anyway. A person will perish in a day. There’s neither water, nor food nor anything else.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “As much as this person will be happy when he finds his camel, this is how much Allah Azza waJalla rejoices when His servant repents.” Allah Azza waJalla is the Most Merciful. Because of His Mercy for people, He wants them to be on the right way. Of course, this is achieved by being with good people. When a person is not with good people, everything becomes bad and terrible, and his life goes to waste.
Years are passing. Heedless people are happy that the year is over. People are happy that life is passing. Whereas that life is your most precious treasure. If you were to give millions for every passing minute of your life, you still wouldn`t be able to bring it back.
They waste it in vain. They get bored whereas there is nothing as being bored. When a person is with Allah, he cannot get bored. Likewise when he prays. Worship, make Tasbihat, read the Qur’an and learn good knowledge. They will all benefit you and you will gain rewards. You will also rise in rank, and you will have peace on the inside and be comfortable.
Otherwise, people do things that are of no benefit instead, and they think they are having fun. The next day, they wake up with darkness. They wake up with sickness and lack of Barakah. That’s because they
Page27
are not on the way of Allah Azza waJalla and they are living in rebellion against Allah. If Allah Azza waJalla grants repentance to those people, their repentance will still be accepted. As long as a person is breathing, Allah Azza waJalla has given this opportunity.
The Door of Repentance is open for people who ask forgiveness from Allah. When does the Door of Repentance close? In the end of times, when the Qiyamah is near, the sun will rise from the west. Some people now say, “It is like this. It is like that. No, what is intended here is different.” They say that the sun does not rise directly from the West. No, this is what will happen. This is what our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said. It is one of the great signs and great indications of Qiyamah. After it happens, repentance will not be accepted. Or, after the last breath, the repentance of people who say, “I repent in the grave, I repent on the resurrection day, I repent in Hell,” their repentance will not be accepted. Whatever you have done and how many sins you have committed while in this world, Allah Azza waJalla forgives them. The forgiveness of Allah Azza waJalla is great.
That is why, the people of Tasawwuf/Sufism and the people of truth are sad about the sins of people and ask Allah to guide them, because guidance is from Allah. They always make this Dua: “May Allah have mercy on mankind, grant them Iman in their hearts, make them repent and ask forgiveness for their sins, make them regret it, and may Allah forgive them too.” Others curse them and swear at them.
Cursing and swearing is not good. What is good is goodness. If the Dua that comes out of your mouth is accepted, they will be guided as well. It would be of more goodness and of more Barakah for everyone to live with good people. We live in a bad time. The more bad people increase, the more darkness descends.
Therefore, what we want and what we ask for from Allah is to guide people and protect the youth and children. Because we live in a time when they are attacking youngsters and children the most. They want to
Page28
take them to their own way. Their own way is the way of shaytan, and it is not a good way. May Allah protect all the children and youth of the Ummah of Muhammad.
Because we live in the end of times, we live in a difficult time in every respect. Sin can now be committed easily everywhere. Doing goodness is more difficult for people.Therefore, may Allah Azza waJalla protect us and forgive our mistakes. We should not shame others. It is our duty to always control our ego and not to make it bigger. If you say things like, “I am good. I have reached this rank. I have reached that rank” may Allah protect us, but if Allah turns your hearts in a minute, your foot will slip then! That’s why, always ask for Madad from the Awliya and the holy ones. With Madad, their spiritual strength will reach you. It reaches you wherever you are with Allah’s permission.
Alhamdulillah, today we visited the holy one Sayyidina Abu Ayyub Al Ansari. Maa Sha Allah it takes five minutes till you enter through one door and five minutes till you exit through the other door. It is so crowded and Maa Sha Allah so many people are coming to visit. They are the Sultans of this place. With their Himmah and Barakah, this city is Islam’s capital. Istanbul is the place of the caliphate. With their Barakah, the Islamic world stands. Because they want to end it from all sides. But Allah does not give them an opportunity and preserves itInsha Allah. These holy ones are a great treasure. These holy ones are a strength for Istanbul, Turkey and the entire Islamic world.
Shukr to Allah, those who come to visit do not return empty-handed. Those who come to them and recite 1 Fatiha and 3 Ikhlas, surely they will be given a spiritual gift. Their names will be preserved Insha Allah. Their Iman will also be preserved Insha Allah.
May Allah be pleased with all of you.

USE YOUR MINDS Monday, 2 January 2023 / 9 Jumada al-Akhir 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: ‘’La-a’llakumta’kiloon’,’‘’That you might understand.’’ (Qur’ān 12:02).
Allah ‘Azza waJalla is saying to use your mind in order to see the Greatness and Power of Allah ’Azza waJalla in His creatures. Don’t think about the essence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Think about His Greatness. Think about all the lives and universes Hecreated. You cannot reach the essence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You can never come close to it. A person who tries to understand the essence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla by using his mind will lose it.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given mind to everyone. They must use their minds. Some people assume they are very clever, whereas they cannot use their minds in some things. They use it in some things and can’t use it in other things. For example, we are in the middle of winter. The weather is sunny and warm. A person who can’t use his mind completely says, “What a beautiful weather! It is so sunny and warm. And we are walking around”. But the peasant whose mind is unfavored by people gets upset. There is no rain, there is no cold. It is bad for the future, for our food we have planted. When cold doesn’t come and doesn’t kill the pests, these pests will reproduce in summer and eat the trees and plants. His thinking is more intelligent from this perspective. He is clev-
Page30
erer than people who think they are very clever and say “How nice! So sunny and warm” and walk around.This is a greater level of mind given by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people who think about what will happen in the future. They are cleverer. Because people live in this world and don’t think about the future. They don’t think about Akhirah. They think this is the only life. Millions and billions of people like you had passed away from this world. None of them was able to take something with them. This world is still there like it was without lacking anything. What will lack is you.
Therefore, you can’t take anything from this world. You will take it from Akhirah. You must think about Akhirah. They say, “We are having fun and enjoying it here as we have money.” But it has its end. Just like people are happy about the sunny and warm weather, they will not know what to do when they run out of water. There are many people who will not know what to do. It is the same for Akhirah. You must think. You must use your mind.Allah gave mind to people to make them different from other creatures. As He gave them mind, there are duties to do. If they don’t do them, their Akhirah will be disappointing. They will then wish if only they didn’t have mind. They will wish if only they were animals and weren’t brought to account. They will say if only we didn’t have so many troubles.
May Allah protect us. As we said many times, may Allah give mind and understanding. May Allah help us use our mind for the better Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE VALUE OF ISTIGHFAR Tuesday, 3 January 2023 / 10 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “IstaghfirūRabbakum ‘InnahuKānaGhaffārāan (10) Yursili AsSamā`a `Alaykum Midrārāan (11) WaYumdidkumBi`amwālinWaBanīnaWaYaj`al Lakum Jannātin Wa Yaj`al Lakum ‘Anhārāan (12)’’ (Qur’ān 71:10-12).
“Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver (10) He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers (11) And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers (12).” SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “Ask forgiveness from Allah so that Allah sends you rain and Barakah, so that He sends you offsprings, money and wealth”. This is the advice of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people.
If you ask forgiveness from Allah Before making Dua for rain, they used to repent and make Istighfar and then make Dua for rain. Allah gives His Barakah then. Everything has its principles and pillars. Who applies it certainly benefits from it. The benefit of Akhirah is better and more. But it is also in Dunya; Allah still gives Barakah.Repenting and asking forgiveness is important. “I didn’t commit a sin. I didn’t do anything”. There is not a person without a sin. Everyone has certainly made a mistake or a sin. They have faults and things they did by being aware or unaware of them. We should repent and ask forgiveness for them.
Page32
Don’t say “I didn’t do”. Even our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasallam says, “I make Istighfar 70 times a day”. A Prophet is infallible. And Allah doesn’t let our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam who is the greatest of all Prophets commit a sin at all. He doesn’t do it. Yet, He says, “I make Istighfar 70 times a day”.
People should also repent and make Istighfar at least 70, 100, or more than 100 times a day, or as much as they can. Its benefit is enormous. When people commit a sin, Allah doesn’t allow angels to write it down until eight hours have passed. If you repent until that time, they won’t write it down. Even if you repent afterwards, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will erase what is written. We have such a Merciful and Majestic Lord.
We should always praise Him and make Shukr to Him for the blessings and beauties He gives us. To glorify and exalt Him is the duty of every Muslim. Dunya is not our duty. Our duty is to glorify Allah ‘Azza waJalla and to make Him happy. Allah is happy when His servant repents and asks forgiveness. It is beneficial to us. There is no greater benefit than it.
If you honor the people in this world, everyone knows that you do it for a personal benefit. The benefit is with Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If you want benefit, obey Allah ‘Azza waJalla, glorify and exalt Him. No need for anyone else. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who gives everything. May Allah make this beauty everlasting for all of us Insha Allah. May He make it everlasting for Muslims. May they not look for it here and there. What they should look for: Allah says, “Make Dua to Me and look for Me.”
May Allah help us. May He give strength of Iman to all of us Insha Allah. May Allah increase His goodness. May Allah give good rain and every Barakah.
May Allah protect Muslims from Fitnah and evil Insha Allah.

HIS HADITHS ARE THE LIGHT Wednesday, 4 January 2023 / 11 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “May whoever says what I didn’t say be cursed by Allah”. After the Qur’an, the words of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam show us the way, the way of Islam and what we should do.
There are Muhaddiths, may Allah be pleased with them. They collected the Hadiths. They collected the Hadiths and the holy words of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam very accurately and made books of them. May Allah be pleased with them.
The knowledge of Hadith is a great knowledge, because not everyone can understand only from the Qur’an. There must be an interpretation of Qur’an ‘Azimush-Shan. And the explanation of the interpretation comes from the Hadiths of our Holy Prophet, by attaining virtues from them.
The rulings of Islam, rulings of worship and all kinds of things, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has completed it in a perfect condition. People who follow it reach happiness. And who goes by the ruling and words of others will never be in comfort and will never have peace. They always change it. They will always change it. While they are saying, “It is so now, we should make it different later”, they will turn it into a useless thing.
Page34
Therefore, the ruling of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is for Muslims. They should follow it and perform it as much as they can. Allah ‘Azza waJalla is Merciful no matter how much we do. But it is wrong to deny it. If you deny it, you will go against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who goes against Allah will never succeed. If the whole world, not only the whole world but if the whole universe goes against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, it has no ruling.
Only the ruling of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla applies. Whatever they do is nonsense, worthless and of no importance.
Therefore, the Hadiths of our Holy Prophet are the Nur/light. They are a great virtue to those who read them and to those who teach its knowledge. Their ranks are high in the sight of Allah. People who did it did so for the pleasure of Allah. They did so as service to Islam. All of that has happened by the will of Allah, otherwise this knowledgewould not have appeared. Allah has given it to great scholars and great Imams to preserve the religion, Shukr to Allah.
He has given it to them. But we will always receive their virtues. People who follow the way of those people, who follow the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet are certainly in profit. That is the profit. The profit of this world is until the grave, but that one is forever.
May Allahmake us successful in attaining our share from that knowledge. We are Talib Ilim, Seekers of Knowledge Insha Allah. We are students of knowledge until the grave, because it is Fard for Muslims to demand knowledge from the cradle until the grave. That is it for us. We are not students of anything else. We are students of knowledge beloved by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
We are students of all possible ways that lead to Allah Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WHAT TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN FIRST Thursday, 5 January 2023 / 12 Jumada al-Akhir 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: “A-lā bi-dhikrillāhitaṭmainnu l-qulūb”, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”(Qur’ān 13:28).
Hearts find satisfaction with the Dhikr of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People find peace by always remembering Allah. That is why our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that the first thing you should teach your children when they start to speak is to say “Allah”. Their tongues should get used to it. Their tongues should develop with the name of Allah so that their lives are good and Allah protects them.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that even a baby attains great goodness with mentioning the name of Allah among the things you teach them, you should teach about Allah.Everyone is worried about education now. What will the children do? Which school will they attend? Which college will they go to? Which university will they go to? The whole world is always busy with this. It is quite old. What we mean by old is that it slowly started 30-40 years ago. But now it has become intense. There is nothing else they think about. Whereas Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says people should be busy with the Dhikr of Allah. Who is busy with the Dhikr of Allah attains peace.
Studying or putting through school are not important. Because what’s important is to know Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If you want to put children
Page36
through school, you must put them where they let them know and teach them about Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is beneficial to know this. And the rest everyone studies something and lives his life. That is not the main goal. The goal is to know Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and to attain His pleasure.
As we said, a person who lives with the Dhikr of Allah from infancy until the end of his life attains the pleasure of Allah. He is a beloved servant of Allah. Who is busy with other things and forgets Allah has no value in the sight of Allah no matter what. And in the sight of people also people like him spend time with him, follow him and stay by his side for their personal interests. That is not for something else but just for personal interest. But whoever strives for the pleasure of Allah, loves people with the love of Allahalways and is together with them is with good people then.
May the Dhikr of Allah remain in our hearts Insha Allah. And we make Dua that people always remember Allahand make His Dhikr Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

THE SPECIAL VIRTUES OF FRIDAY Friday, 6 January 2023 / 13 Jumada al-Akhir 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.
Friday is a blessed day. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made it special to our Holy Prophet and his Ummah. The best of days is Friday. There is Jum’ah prayer on Friday, of course.
It is not permissible to buy and sell during the time of Jum’ah prayer. Muslims must know this. People can arrange their time accordingly. They say buying and selling during the time of Jum’ah is even Haram according to some. It changes according to Madhhabs. People, Muslims must be careful about it. Whoever has a shop must close it then. Employees who are obliged to work sometimes cannot go. They should at least attend Jum’ah once in three weeks. They shouldn’t miss it. Friday is a very blessed day. It has lots of benefits. It has many worldly benefits too. Whoever observes it, certainly Allah ‘Azza waJalla gives more if they close and don’t work for half an hour or an hour, or don’t do shopping.
There are Sunnahs of Friday. There are great benefits for those who can do them. There is Ghusl/full ablution on Friday. It is Sunnah to make Ghusl on Friday. It brings both health and Barakah. And you attain its Thawab. People should certainly do it.
Page38
Also, our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says a person who leaves his house after making Ghusl and goes to the mosque for Jum’ahprayer, for every step of his it will be counted as if he has worshipped for a year. It has such a great Thawab for every step. Not just till the mosque, but as many steps you make, you get Thawab of a year for every step, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
The treasures in the presence of Allah never finish, because they are not like in this world. They cheat people now by saying, “I will give you this much and that much. You give one now and will earn so much.” The treasures in the presence of Allah are inexhaustible. You can make a million steps if you want, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will still give you Thawab of a year for every step.
Therefore, make sure to benefit from the virtues of Friday. There are Tasbihat. And there is an hour of response on this day, the hour when Dua is accepted. Make Dua constantly on this day, on Friday. May Allah bless all our Fridays.
