rning. If ou don't it is not fitre anymore, it is considered as sadaqa. The reward of sadaqa is different. The reward of zakatul fitr is different. There is a big difference between them. Between Fard, wajib, sunnah, nafila, there is a big difference. If you pray fard prayers, if you pray the nafila and do not make intention for fard the responsibility of fard prayer remains. That's why you have to intend for fard, in fard prayers. Then you can get its reward. There is a great reward for it.

These are the gifts of Allah, spiritual food. Allah gives us all these beauties. The unbelievers, who are not on the right path even if they are rich, they spend money in shopping centers, markets. They waste money. There is no gain, they don't gain anything. Their souls are going deeper into darkness. They are more stressed. They think with money, this and that, they can be happy. But on the contrary, they are not aware that they torture themselves. The right way is the way of Islam - the way Allah shows, the way Allah offers us. Buyurun alin diyor - Allah (awj) says "Here you are, take it." He does not leave anyone out, he invites everyone in. "W Allahu yad'u ila dari s-salam" (10:25) Allah invites everyone to peace, the land of peace. This way is leading to the land of peace. You are winning in so many ways on this path. Otherwise if you fight with Allah, you always lose, you cannot win anything.

Today Juma mubarak day, Friday, and Ramadan also. Now coming the most holy night around the year, Night of Qadr, Laylatul Qadr. It is night which Qur'an, Allah sent Qur'an to Prophet, sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam, this night. It is very valuable, the most valuable night in Qur'an also. It is better than a thousand months. He said, Suratul

Qadr, Allah explained how it is. Thousand months nearly I think 80 years. So it is better than meaning - from whole life - one night, it is better from whole life for mankind. It is valuable like this and Allah gave this night for believer Muslim, mumin. But not saying which night exactly. But mostly coming in 27th of Ramadan. Prophet said many years coming in this night. But it is all around year also - you can find it sometimes. But mostly in Ramadan. From beginning of Ramadan until end of Ramadan. But also Prophet says, sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam, look for this night after 20th of Ramadan. Especially in the single (odd) nights like 21, 23, 25, 27, 29. It must be this night. Why Allah hide it like this? Because to give value for every night - to be seeing every night you think it is Night of Qadr, to make worship, to respect this night. Every night you must be worshipping you don't make wrong thing. Because night, it is every bad thing in nighttime, coming more and more. Every badness, it is mostly coming nighttime. For this, Allah also hide this night to be, to not do wrong things in this night, every night around the year.

There is saying for valuable people from masha'ikh, to think every night like Night of Qadr and to think every man, every human being to be like Khidr. Khidr alaihi salam is coming around people (with) different shape. So somebody not happy with somebody and he swore on him or he make bad thing for him, after he find who this he was Khidr. How he will be ashamed. So for this to respect mankind, Allah made him to go around people. And these Masha'ikh say look for everybody like Khidr - to respect human being. Allah teaching by Prophet, sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam, by His awliya how to be good mannered, to good behave for people, for community. And another subject in this end of Ramadan also, there is zakatul fitr, meaning we give zakat. Not this for money(wealthy), this for everybody, for poor or for not poor, rich people - for everybody. How poor people they will give? Because they must. Rich people give to poor people and they can take from this giving for their fitr. And this is, Prophet sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam saying, for fasting. It is when you fast, it is on up (it stays) between the sky and earth. To give (by giving) this sadaqa it going to heaven, your fasting. So it is important. And it was before zakat, before ordering zakat in Ramadan. So for this, zakat also they give in Ramadan.

But this is for everybody. You can give - poor people - little quantity. But for rich men, it is between 20 Lira or less little bit, 15 or 20, but if you give more it is better. Because Allah accept it like zakatul fitr and it is (bringing more) rewarding more than normal sadaqa. And it must be before salatul Eid. If make it before, it is accepted as zakatul fitr. But if not given, give after salat, praying, Eid praying, it is (becomes) normal sadaqa. And it is two different very comparing, sadaqa or to give zakatul fitr. Obligatory is very high reward from Allah. If other, little. So In-sha’Allah they are happy to be in this good way, light way. Lights. Allah give lights for everybody. And when you give sadaqa or zakat or what Allah orders, you take burden from your shoulders. It is like making you heavy this. But you when you give it, you are coming free and you feel better. Because it is spiritual power. What you do for Allah, Allah

gives you spiritual power. And when you have spiritual power, you'll be more happy, more light and more good with your people, your community. But other people who are not liking this way, they are trying their best to be happy, to be making themselves happy.

But when they are making wrong things, it is coming more heavy and heavy for them. Not, they cannot be strong spiritually. Spiritually only with worshipping you can do this. But other they are trying. They are not knowing Allah is not happy with them. And He is not help them. Only when they are making each step they are doing wrong coming heavy for them. Coming heavy for them until they become unlighted, darkness from their face, from their heart; spiritually darkness for them. And they are miserable in this life and after this life.

Allah give them hidayat/guidance and Allah In-sha’Allah this with Mawlana Sheikh's baraka more and more people coming. Because his way, it is open way, not closed. And he make this way will be grow and grow and grow because right way. Or who is coming out of this way, they will come In-sha’Allah to be most powerful again, In- sha’Allah , for Islam, for Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jam'at, for Naqshbandi tariqa In-sha’Allah .

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

26.The Sweet Life Monday, July 21, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadat As'habi Rasulullah, madad ya Masha'ikhina, madad ya Sheikh Abdullahi d-Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyya.

In sha Allah, beautiful associations are happening. These gatherings are good associations, MashaAllah! There is goodness in gathering people together. Recently someone was saying: What we are doing? We are fasting, we are praying, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night (prayers). We spend our day like this. The second day is like this, the third same.

Days are passing. What else is there to be done? There is nothing else to do better than this. Shukr Allah, He has given us everything. We are spending our time with prayer, worship, and fasting. This is the best way (to spend time). This life (style) Allah loves, our Prophet loves, hayatun tayyiba (good life), this is the clean life. The believer, when the time of one prayer passes, he longs to meet the next. These are the servants Allah loves, our Prophet loves. Prayer is finished, they wait for the next prayer coming. They are the beloved servants of Allah. And for the servant Allah loves, the most desirable aim to reach in this world is the Rida (pleasure) of Allah, so they reach it. That is something beautiful. People are not aware of this thing, the meaning of this life. The reason they are living for, people are not aware of it. Life is not for your pleasure, desires, or to go after the wants of the ego. Allah didn't create you for this. Allah created you, and we say that He is giving your provision. You are eating, then you are praying, you are doing your work, that is also for Allah's Rida. You are doing all these so that it helps bless your provision/rizq. If you work to obtain rizq for your children, so that they can have halal food, this is also counted as praying. Then you pray and one after one you pray five time prayers, that's all. "Wa ma khalaqtu l-jinna wa l-insa illa liya'buduni"(51:56) says Allah Azza wa Jalla, "I created men and jinn so that they worship Me," says Allah Azza wa Jalla. For nothing else. When our Prophet was tired, he used to pray. The time of prayer was coming, he used to say to Hazrat Bilal (ra), "Arihna ya Bilal" - "Give us respite, Ya Bilal. Make us relieved". That is to say: "Call the adhan so we can pray and be relieved." A holy one used to say to his servant when he had difficulties: "Let me make ablution and pray two rakaats to be relieved." Comfort and beauty lies with the Rida/Pleasure of Allah. And this is the way Sheikh Effendi showed us, the way of our Prophet. This way is more clear/open in the days of Ramadan. It is happiness for us, Shukr Allah.

We say shukr, we are thanking Allah. We are thanking our Prophet, and thanking awliya that they didn't leave us to our nafs/egos. They accepted us to follow them. Today we speak about somebody saying, nearly, not knowing what is best but, saying we are eating, drinking, and after we pray fajr, zuhr. After fajr coming zuhr, after zuhr, asr, maghrib, isha. Going like this and days same. It is going like monotone. Same, monotonous. Alhamdulillah, if it is like this we are very happy. It must be like this. This is what Allah ordered for people to do. It is not wrong, it is -Alhamdulillah. Nothing wrong with this. This is the sweet life. This is what Allah ordered. To do what He want, it is to be beloved for him. And this is what is the aim of our life, to make Allah happy with us, not to be angry. It is aim of life to obey Allah Azza wa Jalla and obey Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. What he show us - this right way and this nice, sweet life.

When you do this, you be light. Light coming on you and darkness going away. Even in middle of day if darkness coming on somebody he is miserable, he is very sad. Nothing can make him happy because they don't know aim of life. They thought they are coming just to enjoy themself and it is only this. No, this, to enjoy themself, for life to enjoy, only for animal. They are not enjoying, even, they are just enjoying to eat and drink and to grow it. After they will slaughter and they will be.. They are not worried. They don't know why they are coming but even these animal, they know their Creator, Allah Azza wa Jalla, and they are worshipping, making tasbih for Him. For every animal, every creature, they are praising Allah Azza wa Jalla. Only mankind, they are not obeying. The most of mankind, they are un-obeying for Allah, (not) obeying for Allah. They are thinking they have mind and they want to measure this by their mind. How we can measure this? Before 50 years, people were thinking very different from now. Before 100 years, it was completely different from these days. Before 200 years... so you cannot say: my mind it is good. After you people will come they will say you were crazy to think like this. So Allah show the best way what to do. And His order, Allah saying, I create human being and jinn to be worshipping for Him. Alhamdulillah, when you do worshipping you see - if you are tired, you be relaxed.

Prophet (sas) when he was tired or something nearly time of praying, he was saying to Bilal Habashi the muezzin, (radiallahu anhu), 'O Bilal, make us to be relaxed, make Azan to pray'. When they are praying, they are feeling stronger, more. When somebody of big awliya also sometimes he was not happy, quickly asking for servant, bring water to make wudu, and I will pray 2 rakat. This, what not good only, it is going quickly. So to pray and to worship, it is the best way to be happy here and hereafter.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al Fatiha.

27.The Biggest Favour Tuesday, July 22, 2014.

As-salamu alaikum.Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati As'habi RasulAllah, madad ya Masha'ikhina, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa lkhayru fi jam'iyya.

There are various types of people in this world. Allah created them different but didn't grant guidance to all of them. Even those who are given guidance, who reached the right religion, run after this world. They left the way of Allah and are following the way of dunya. Allah didn't create us to follow this world. If you go after this world, you should do it for provision; in order to eat halal, to strengthen your body, for the guidance and goodness of your children, for the pleasure of Allah. But anyway Allah gives your rizq/provision to you. He gives blessings. You can manage with just little. If they're blessed a man can do with just little. His stomach will be full, he'll have a house and everything, and he will live in comfort.

All the deeds of a Muslim, the one who follows the way of Allah, are good says our Prophet. He says Muslims are astonishing, I am astonished by their condition. Allah has made all their deeds to be good. Everything they do is good for them, it becomes blessed, it becomes beautiful. Even troubles turn out to be good for them eventually. Other things that they may not like, become means for goodness. That's why, the more Muslims are on the way of Allah and try to do what He commanded, the better it is for them. Sheikh Effendi used to say that being alive to say la ilaha illAllah once in a year is better than lying a year in the grave. Because Allah Azza wa Jalla gives its sawab/reward from His own treasures. He grants goodness then. No need to wish for a person to pass away when he is sick. There can't be such a wish for Allah. We should wish for Allah to give peace and health of faith. That's it. Though there are many sick people, Sheikh Effendi used to say that having a breath with faith is better than lying in the grave. May those sick ones be patient. When Allah gives it, when their death comes, they will go with patience, and reach goodness again.

Certainly in akhirah and in the grave reward is still given. If a man leaves teachings or good children behind him and they pray after him, it is still very useful. The goodness of it reaches the man anyway. If he makes a fountain or a mosque, or leaves something useful for Muslims, his book of deeds will be open until qiyama. Goodness will be written in it. He will have his sawab. But as we say, while a man is living, he should think about akhira as well. He should know the value of each moment. Each breath, each bite, each drop of water is sawab for Muslims. As we said, from the moment one gets up in the morning, he should make intention that everything to be for Allah. His every step will bring goodness with Allah's permission. Of course, Muslim people don't go to casinos or pubs, or any bad paths. If they go, this isn't for the pleasure of Allah. But a normal Muslim doesn't go there.

Work he does, a path he walks, people he visits, everything he does brings goodness for him for pleasing Allah.

The treasures of Allah don't finish. Allah is the most generous of all and He loves generous ones. That's why, He gives these grants to His Muslim servants. That's why, you must know their value while you are alive. Don't forget everything and Allah. Always remember Allah. As you remember Allah, He remembers you. All your work will be beautiful, good. Your sawab will increase. Your book of deeds will be full. Allah created human beings and He gave them understanding to know good from bad things. But many people, most human beings are out of the right way of Allah. Allah showed the good and right way, but people they are not accepting this. Even when they are born as Muslims and on the right way. Most of them also they leave the right way. They are thinking - "these who are not believing are better than us." And they try to do like them. And then they are ashamed, some of them, that they are Muslims. Many people are ashamed to pray, to look like Muslims. They try to imitate non-Muslim people. But Allah gave the best favours to these people. Other people they don't have this chance. Alhamdulillah we are born from Muslim fathers, Muslim mothers. Most of us, but some also Allah give hidaya/gift for many people Alhamdulillah with the baraka of Mawlana Sheikh. And this favour it is the biggest favour, good for human beings. Prophet (saws) he was saying "I am wondering for these mu'mins. All what he does it is going for good. Everything he does Allah makes it good for him." Even he has bad accident or some illness or desires. Any bad thing happens to him, or any good thing happens to him all coming and at the end it is good for him. Allah rewarding him. Because this life it is a very short life, but mu'min every chance, Allah gives it for the mu'mins/believers. And Mawlana he was saying when you are alive and saying "La Ilaha illa Allah" is better than 1000 years underground dead. So you must take this opportunity to do the best for yourself. For your Akhira, for your life, real life. Everything you do, you must make intention for Allah. Even if you go from your house to work, to any place. From morning you say "Bismillah r-Rahman r-Rahim, I intend to do all in this day for Allah." Allah will reward you for everything you do.

Of course normal mu'min he is not going to go to pub or go to gambling or go to bad place. So normal, everywhere he all day until he goes to sleep Allah will reward him for what he does. For himself. And when you will sleep also make 2 rakaat and pray, make dua, read some Surah of Quran and then sleep. All night also Allah rewards you for this also. So all your life you will be insha'Allah rewarded by Allah and you become beloved person for Him. And this is what we need. What our soul, our... everything in our body - when the soul is good everything it will be good. But when your heart, your soul is not good everything it will be bad. So Alhamdulillah Allah (awj) He gave us the chance to be alive and can do every good. So insha'Allah we are happy. We are thanking Him for this and we are praying to make us go in this way, not changing our way. And keep us away from every badness, every bad thing, every bad people. For the sake of Allah, for Ramadan and for Mawlana Sheikh.

Bi Hurmati l-Fatiha.

28.For The Sake of Allah Wednesday, July 23, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati As'habi RasulAllah, madad ya Masha'ikhina, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghestani, madad ya Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyya.

We reached the holy days, shukr to Allah. This night is holy too. May its blessings be upon us In sha Allah. Allah knows of course which night it is. The Sahabas (Companions) asked our Prophet(saw) which night it is. He said sometimes it is the 23rd. When others asked - 24th, and so on... It varies of course. As it's not the same every year. It is not clear. It's hidden, but if we do with the intention of it, its blessings will be upon us In sha Allah. Show respect for that night. Awliya, our Prophet, Sahabas respected this night. We shall respect it too and revive with the intention of the Night of Power- Laylatul Qadr tonight In sha Allah. May it be good, blessed and may it reach many.

How is the Night of Power? Our Master said sometimes it's rainy, sometimes not. All of it is right. Because as it is not on the same day, it happens on different days. Different manifestations appear. That's why, it is necessary to assume every night is the Night of Power and respect it at least a little. It's necessary to be careful about yourself, to respect the night and protect yourself from sins, to worship Allah, to donate on the way of Allah. There are many things Allah loves and the most loved thing is generosity. Allah bestows on those who feed others. He looks at them with the eyes of mercy and grants them. Once Hz. Ali didn't have food at home. An ayat from Qur'an came down about him then (76:7-11). Of course, in old times the Sahabas and our Prophet didn't run after money. So when they had money, they'd give it away as sadaqa or charity. Sometimes they'd be left with nothing. So in such time Hz. Hassan and Hz. Huseyn were hungry. Hz. Ali sold something and bought flour with it. He made some bread and when they sat to eat, there was a knock at the door. A poor man came. Hz. Ali had made 3 breads. He had made 3 for his children and himself. When there was knocking at the door, he gave 2 away to the poor man. So children were left with only 1 bread and there was nothing for him.

Same thing the next day. Same thing on the third day. Afterwards, he attained such a big sawab/reward that an ayat in Qur'an came down for them (76:7-11). They were people who loved feeding poor people. They were fearing Allah. They were giving for the sake of Allah. They didn't expect thanks in return. They expected neither money, nor thanks for the things they did. Of course, it'd be good if people thanked them.

They didn't want even that. If you feed someone, it should be nice and welcoming to eat. It is a table of Allah. A table of Allah. Eat so that it be strength for you and faith for us In-sha’Allah our faith gets stronger. The most disliked thing by Allah Azza wa Jalla is expecting something in return for doing something. Of course, you expect its return from Allah. This can be expecting thanks from the one you did goodness to. Say "not at all". But they don't want thanks or even higher ranks. They do it, sincerely, for the sake of Allah, the Purest. They say "no need for thanks". But there are some people who ask for something in return. It is said in Glorious Qur'an that their deeds are void then (2:264). If you ask something in return, you say "I did it, see what I did for you", that goodness won't be accepted. You are saying to someone you don't know, that he's eating your food. Don't say. It's not a nice characteristic. You give for the sake of Allah, that's nice. Don't spoil that thing. Say: Eat for Allah, enjoy it. Wish that it becomes light and faith.

It is loved by our Prophet to give food to all, to poor people, to visitors; both to rich and poor. There are people who give food only to rich men for showing off. They don't care about poor ones. It's not nice either. You should give to everyone. Give both to rich and poor. Let your table be open. May Allah grant blessings In-sha’Allah . Alhamdulillah, tonight we are reaching Lailatu l-Qadr, the most holy night. The 27th of Ramadan, the famous for Lailatu l-Qadr but it is not every year coming. Many year coming in 27th, but most of the time coming but many time coming from other days also. Sometimes Sahaba, they were asking Prophet(saw), when Lailatu l-Qadr? Sometimes he said 23rd. Next time other people asking, 24th he said. They ask how it look like? He said, it must be raining. Next year asking - it is not raining. Because all his saying, they must be true, - because this night changing. Not in one certain night but it's changing. So Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam every time was saying different thing, so. But he is never telling Sahaba even which night it is. But when he said, in this night, make this dua', Allahumma inni as'aluka lafuww wa l-afiyah Allahumma inni as'aluka l-afuww wa l-afiyah. This is the best dua, praying to forgive us. Allah forgive us and give us health. This is the most important thing to think, for mu'min, for human being. Afuww meaning, you must be in right way, so Allah is happy with you and He forgive you. And other, to be in good health. The most precious thing in this life, these two things. Other it is coming, going, but if you have this you be happy, no problem for you. And Allah Azza wa Jalla and Prophet sallallhu alaihi wa sallam, they like generous, specially to give food for people. And Sayyidina Ali, karram Allahu wajh, Allah make ayah in Quran for them (Surah Insan:7-11) and his wife Fatimatu z-Zahra (ra), for her children also, because once they were making bread. They were not eating many thing because they are not looking for money, Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam or Sahaba, even if they have money, quickly they give for sadaqa, for people. So after, they cannot find sometimes something to eat. Once, like this time Sayyidina Ali has nothing. He went to sell something from his house to bring food for children. In day, Sayyidatuna Fatimatu z-Zahra(ra), she had cooked 3 bread, two for them and one for children. When they want to eat, the door, it was knocked. Somebody coming, 'I am

very hungry, I am dying from hunger, please give me for sake of Allah'. Quickly they give two, what they will eat, for them, bread for this man.

Next day like this, third day like this, and after Allah sent ayat, surah for this, in Quran (76:7-11), commending these people. They are liking to feed people and they don't want anything from these people who they are feeding, even no thanks. They don't want (them) even to thank them for this. This we are giving for sake of Allah and we are afraid from the Last Day, very heavy day, this is Qiyamah, Yawm alQiyamah. But Allah, He give them Paradise. And He give them shade in Paradise and cool thing, very nice place for them. So even when they are doing this Allah rewarding them until Qiyamah. Everybody read this surah (Insan 76) they remember them. Sayyidina Ali and his family, karamAllahu wajh, radiallahu anha.

So when you give food you must give for Allah, for poor people - even it is not important poor, not poor people - everybody, you can give. But don't do something (so that) it is for your good-doing. What is this? Say, 'oh look, I give you this, it is my food, you must be happy for me, I am doing this'. This is what Allah, He not liking this. In Quran also, He said, these people who doing this, they spoil what good thing they have done (2:264). So only, you are giving and giving, shaitan and your ego to spoil your good-doing. Just, when you give, you must be happy these people eating and Allah sending for you. And Allah can. Many people, rich people they have not million, they have billion, they cannot do what one normal man doing for people. They have everything, money, but they cannot give. So you must be happy Allah can let you to make all these good things. So don't be foolish to make your good thing to go for nothing. So just give and be happy when those people eating. Prophet(saw) was saying when you make soup put one pot of water on it and keep for more people.

Give for your neighbour, for other, because when you put water, it may, with this food, it will be more and more. And Maulana also he was liking to feed people. Some people they coming midnight. When he was strong because we were sleeping, or Hajja Anne was sleeping, he give them special by his hand, he prepared food for them. And Alhamdulillah, this is baraka. Allah give In sha Allah, to give us this baraka for whole life In-sha’Allah we can feed people. Everything, it is not so difficult when Allah want, In sha Allah, for everybody, one, two. When we was in Damascus, we was as small children. That time, it was not like this. Many people know, that is, all guest coming, few guests maybe in one week coming 7, 8 or 10 people, so Hajja Anne she was cooking and there was 4 people around us 'Go you give, take for this lady, take this, this for old man', she was giving. If no guest in house, every time she was sending this. And Alhamdulillah, now growing, In- sha’Allah for Maulana, for whole world he was enough. From each, very far country by his baraka they had something to eat. Alhamdulillah, this is favour from Allah. Alhamdulillah, Allah continue this baraka, for him, for us, for all our followers, In-sha’Allah . Give more and more and more, give them baraka, In-sha’Allah . Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al Fatiha.

29.Bad Thoughts Thursday, July 24, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaikhina, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faizi Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammed Nazim al- Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.

In-sha’Allah ,we'll have beautiful gatherings. May all of us get benefit from the goodness of these holy days In sha Allah. When a man decides to do good, many obstacles arise. But when he goes to do something bad, he can do it easily because there are no obstacles. Moreover, there are things that encourage this. His ego, desire, shaitan don't create obstacles for him in doing bad. However, Allah Azza wa Jalla has shown a way against them. He has shown very beautiful ways for a man to fight against them, not to follow and not to become a slave to them. There are bad thoughts. This is a bad thing, but this is because Allah gave man a mind to think and act which other creatures don't have, only man. Jinn and angels also have it. Allah won't let angels do bad. They are completely innocent and don’t interfere with badness. Jinn are like people. They can be good ones or bad ones. If a man intends and decides to do something bad, but doesn't do it and stops, it will not be counted as a sin. Moreover, he will get rewarded for it. But of course, his ego and shaitan keep giving bad thoughts to that man. They want him to do and think bad, think impossible things. And how do people do this? Our Prophet says that there's no sin in what enters a man's heart or, his bad thoughts unless he says it and does it. No sin for him because it's not in his control. It's given. Different people, if they look, even at a stone, they will think about different things. If they look at something, they remember something else. That's why Allah has forgiven them for it. He doesn't allow angels to record it as a sin or a fault. But when they do what they think about, they commit a sin. Moreover, they should keep their thought to their self, for it is only when they speak about it, it becomes a sin. It remains inside and disappears. However, when you speak about it to everyone, you commit a sin and put bad thoughts and ideas into other people's minds. Bury them and let them go. Allah has forgiven them. Remain calm. People must not think it's a sin, when they think about this and that. No, it's not a sin. Our Prophet says it's not a sin. Bad thoughts, memories, whatever comes to your mind, they are not sins, unless you say you think such and such. Then you are committing a sin. You're committing a sin and harming yourself. When you talk about your thought it gets bigger. Otherwise it remains inside. Many bad thoughts come, nothing can happen from them. Be relaxed. Its good tidings from our Prophets(saw)

Think whatever you want. Important, it remains covered, let it go. We are, Alhamdulillah, in the holy days, the end Ramadan, one month nearly finished. Last night was Lailatu l-Qadr. Alhamdulillah, Allah give all this favour for us and we are thankful to Him. He is showing us the nice way, and nice action, and nice life, what we may do. Of course shaitan and his followers, when you want to do a good thing, they try very hard to not let you do good things. It is difficult to do good things, what Allah likes, what Prophet likes, all the time it is difficult, not easy. Even calling jihad and to fight against your ego, against shaitan, to be mujahid. Many times in Quran, that you must fight against them because they are making war on you. The most terrible enemy who now, in the world? Many bad people, many terrorist people, many tyrants. Which one the most terrible enemy? Not one of them, only your ego. The most terrible enemy for you, your ego. If you are winning on your ego, everything, it is easy, nothing can make you afraid from it. And most terrible ego, if you win on it, you are hero. But if you are fighting against people and your ego owning you and controlling you, you are nothing. Allah shows many ways to help you against shaitan, against ego and to be in right way. They are fighting, they are trying very hard. Allah also shows a way against them. Specially they are making bad thought in your mind, in your heart. Because human beings, Allah give them mind to think. Allah give for jinn also because Allah created many creations, animals, fish, birds. Everything Allah created but only He give mind for human beings, and for jinn, and for angels. But angels, they are innocent, Allah made them to not do anything wrong. Only they are worshipping and doing what Allah wants from them. For human beings and jinn, they have good and bad. And good ones, they are obeying Allah and Prophet and awliya. The bad ones are following their ego. So Allah shows us and helps us with what you think in your mind and in your heart, bad thoughts. To try to do something, to make a plan to do a bad thing but when you don't do this, Allah even is rewarding you, when you are not doing this. Many people, all people have these bad thoughts. Unless you are doing what this bad thought is telling you, or following this, nothing, it is not bad. Allah forgives for this. But if you do this bad thought, Allah punishes you. But if you're not doing, Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said it's nothing, ok, don't be worried for this.

If you think a bad thought and told people, it is also not good, so you can be punished for this. The bad thoughts you have come from each side, from everything. Even you look at a wall, you think a bad thought. You look at a stone, your thought every time is coming from each side, every side. Many thoughts, so don't be worried for this. You only forget this. Even you mustn't say with your tongue. Just don't care for what you thought, about this bad thought. This comes from shaitan, from ego, from everywhere. So, no problem for this. Problem, to tell people or to write or to do what you thought. Why it is like this? Because it is first harming you, before other people. But when you forget it, it is like you put it in a grave and threw dust on it, it

finishes. Every time you do this, it is going away from you, heaviness. But if you tell people, 'I thought like this, I thought like t his, bad thought', no need for this, harming you and harming people. So Prophet (saw) giving good tidings that it is nothing, don't be worried. Allah will not punish you for your thought. At least, until you do a bad thing, action. For thought without coming on your tongue, or your hand, or your action, it is nothing. Alhamdulillah, this is good tiding against shaitan and his followers.

Wa min Allahi t-taufiq. Al Fatiha.

30.Khalifatu l-Mu’minin Friday, July 25, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadat-i As'habi Rasulullah, madad ya Masha'ikhina, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur! Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.

This is the last Friday of Ramadan. May its goodness, blessings be upon us, and on the Ummah/Nation of Muhammad! May Allah send to all Ummah of Muhammad, a leader. Now the Eid is coming but we see in most places it is not like Eid but death is raining on people, bombs are falling. If it is asked why it is like this - there is no head, Muslims don't have a leader. There is no Khalifa. The khalifa was with the Ottomans. Nowadays men from here or there are emerging to claim "I am Khalifa, I am this!" No you are not Khalifa. The Khalifa rules with justice. The Khalifa can't be elected by a committee of black birds. The religion of Islam is not a toy/game. By the Will of Allah, it has been 100 years, it is almost 100 years that there is no Khalifa Because when Ittihat and Terakki (who became Young Turks) was ruling, then the Khalifa had no more authority to rule. By Allah's Will it has been 100 years, for the appearance of Mahdi alaihi s-salam, corruption is everywhere, fighting, killing is everywhere. Who is dying, who is killing, no need for why. May Allah be pleased with them, our Palestinian brothers when something is happening mashaAllah they shout their voices high. But in other places there are even more people dying, no one knows about them. Troubles are everywhere, not only in the Muslim community, all Muslims are in trouble. Troubles are everywhere, because there is no Khalifa for Muslims. All become contemptible/oppressed - They have no value. They are being shot, being killed, no one is interfering.

They are just shouting, screaming (in vain) but no result, no conclusion. As our Sheikh Effendi said, not by shouting, screaming, but all Muslims should pray/ask the Lord in mosques and in their homes - May Allah send us a Khalifa, so that he may save us from all these troubles and contempt. Because the nation of unbelief is one. The oppression shedding Muslim blood, are all together bound to each other. Muslims are killing with no need. Those who are killing Muslims belong to them(world of unbelief). They shouldn't think that because they are calling themselves Muslim they are safe. No they are in same category (killing Muslims).

May Allah protect us from all this mischief and corruption, in the whole Islamic world. Because Muslims, no matter where they are, they can feel the pain and troubles of

the other Muslims. All Muslims must ask for a Master from Allah! When we are united, under one head no one can harm us. Sheikh Effendi used to give China as an example. They have one leader over them, they are doing as they like, cutting, killing, oppressing... Neither the European court of human rights nor the justice of the west can say anything to them. They can say nothing! They have one head, but they all belong to unbelief. He is against Islam like his people. They are all one nation. What shall we do? Here, we have Allah with us. Allah is the Greatest. As a blessing to Muslims Allah is with them, with Muslims. Allah is not with unbelievers. "Fa'inna Llaha la yuhibbu l-kafirina" (3:32) says the verse. With clear evidence from al-Quran, 'Allah doesn't love unbelievers.' - people, animals, or humans.

Allah is clearly saying that He doesn't love unbelievers. You must be happy for this! Allah loves believers, He loves Muslims. Though they are oppressed in the end He puts them in His Paradise. This is nothing next to the reward given, the reward for martyrdom. But if you say you are Muslim and then kill Muslims you can neither have martyrdom, nor Paradise but will be in Hell with the unbelievers forever. This must be made known to them, who are those fighting people. Our Prophet has said, in wartime, not only not to kill (innocent) people but not to cut even trees. He has said not to harm old people, women, and children. This has been said clearly, but they are not listening. Then let them be as they do! Allah... Who they imitate, they will follow. Today Juma, last Juma for Ramadan and after 3 days, In-sha’Allah , Monday I think, it will be Eid Feast for Muslims. But many place in Muslim World they are suffering from very bad condition, very bad attacking from enemy, from terrorist. Specially, they are doing this for believers. All of the world, they are attacking Muslim and believer people. When you look around the world, it is only in Muslim places. Why this?

Because they don't have khalifa. Khalifatu l-Muminin, they kicked him out and they are finished. But not finished, and still khalifa with Ahli Uthman, because they are responsible when Sultan Selim bring khalifa from Egypt, to Ottoman. He take from Abbasi khalifa, he give him. Until when this Ottoman giving khalifa to who will be khalifa of Selim, it's still in khilafah with Ottoman. So many people they are going around saying 'I am Khalifatu l-Muminin, I am Amiru l-Muminin'. No, you cannot be. Because to be khalifa you must take from this and you must be like, deserving this. Khalifa, he was looking for all his followers as his children, not making zulm, oppression. No, doing justice. And to give decision to punishment, one, it must be real court and real knowledge people to do this - not people from street. Just, they say 'You do this', and quickly they killing him. No, you cannot do this. You are not khalifa, you are not anything. And it is since 100 years when the kick this khalifa from his throne. All Muslim World and it is the biggest area they have, and it is the best area, Allah, He give them and they have big population but they are nothing. Nobody care about them, nobody listen to them. They doing everything to them which they cannot do. They (Muslims) are just miserable and just looking - shouting and looking. Nothing happens. This, you must think, why this? This because you're not following (Islam).

You are following them, you are following the non-believer people, (their) tradition, their laws, what they want to do, and you are separate (not united). And then who sent khalifa (away)? Of course, non-believer people. Because when one (united) people, it will shake all the world. They cannot do anything if there is khalifa. Mawlana Sheikh, every time giving example from China - count more than 100 billion and only following one man. And they are doing worst for people in everything. For everything they are doing the worst. But for Human Rights, no European, they can say anything to them. Not any government, any country from world, they cannot say anything to them. Why? Because they have one big (group), and they are not believer. These two, specially for them, they can do anything. But if you are Muslim, they are coming and doing every bad thing for you and they are saying 'we are doing this for you, for your goodness'. They killing, they divide and destroy whole country. They are doing for what? For us. No! Allah, He said, don't trust in these people, you must look for khalifa. And how we can do? We cannot do anything. No, you can do, Mawlana Sheikh saying, you must make dua in mosque, in house, everywhere to send, Allah for us, khalifa. And In-sha’Allah , Allah take this miserable situation from us. And khalifa, from since 100, we said the condition (until) now, to prepare for Mahdi alaihi salam. He will be khalifa, Mahdi alaihi salam. This, from Ottoman, he will give them the khilafa for him, and he will be khalifa and In-sha’Allah whole world they will be Muslim and Alhamdulillah, all - there's two kind, Muslim and non-Muslim, non-believer. And they are all same, even these terrorist people, who killing Muslim also, they are also with them because they are doing what the non-believer, they cannot do. If they do, every people, they shouting for them. But when Muslim killing old people and children, women, making worst for women, for children even, we ashamed to say what they are doing, nobody saying anything to them.

Allah said: inna Llaha la yuhibbu l-kafirin (28:76). Allah, He doesn't like non-believer. Why? Because He don't like, He only love Muslim. Allah, He said in Quran: inna Llaha la yuhibbu l-kafirin. And who look like kafir, non-believer, they will be with them. And Muslim who are killed by these people and nonbeliever people, they are shaheed/martyr. Allah, He love them and He will reward them in Janna/paradise and they will be very happy for this. This is what Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, our Mashsha'ikh, Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jama'a teaching us, for this. So, "la tahzan inallaha ma'ana" (9:40). So don't be sorry/sad, Allah with us. Allah not with non-believer, Alhamdulillah.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq-Al Fatiha.

31.Safety in Heavenly Knowledge Thursday, July 31, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya sadati ashabi RasulAllah. Madad ya Mashaikhina fi t-tariqati Naqshibandiyat-il Aliyya. Madad ya Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammed Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.

In-sha’Allah we'll have a blessed sohbat. Eid is now over. We entered the month of Shawwal. May it be blessed insha Allah.We passed these last three months nicely with the gifts of Allah. Following them, Allah Azza wa Jalla promised great rewards for those who fast 6 days of Shawwal as well. The month of Shawwal is a difficult month.Pay attention to giving sadaqa. May all possible evil stay away from us In sha Allah. Allah Azza wa Jalla created people. All of them are a similar type but given different ranks.The highest rank belongs to the Prophets. Neither the awliya, nor Sahaba can reach the rank of a prophet. Allah made their rank different. And the highest of the prophets is our Prophet, then Ulu l-Azm, these great prophets. After them 313 Nabi Mursal, the messengers. They have both prophecy and books. Each of them has a book sent by Allah, like the Quran, some of which are three pages, some are 10 pages, some are 100 pages, some are larger than the Quran, some are 2000 - 3000 pages. This is the arrangement of Allah Azzawa Jalla. People are given everything with a plan and an arrangement. Why were the prophets sent? There are people who think deeply there are people called philosophers. They assume they think deeply. Then why is there a need for these prophets(saw)? Because mind and logic go up to a certain limit. Prophets are above that. They come in order to teach people this. That's why, not everything can be described by mind and logic. Knowledge is above them. There are many points which mind, logic and philosophy cannot reach. These are the lowest of the low. Nothing very important. There's no use in someone impressive who calls himself a professor but doesn't call upon Allah. He doesn't benefit himself or others. Prophets are the representatives of Allah. They teach people from the knowledge of Allah, true knowledge. This is the important thing. What is knowledge for? True knowledge is the knowledge useful for the hereafter. If you have knowledge of this world, you become a champion and possess the best things, but you don't prepare for the hereafter, you are bankrupt.

Life is short, like the blink of an eye, although they don't believe it when we say so. It ends in a moment. When someone looks at his photo of 10 years ago, he is surprised at his black hair and beard. Before, he was a slim young man, and before that he was

like a child. Then you become surprised that time passed by so quickly. That's why knowledge of the hereafter as taught by the prophets is important. Everything they teach is beautiful. Even if you are sick, Allah will give you its reward for Allah. Nothing is useless, if you believe in Allah. But if you don't believe in Allah, if you don't believe in His prophets, everything is useless. Suffer as much as you will, gain as much as you will; gain or lose, it won't have any benefit. How is it then? You have to plug into the socket so that you come closer to Allah and become His beloved servant. In-sha’Allah blessings from all these holy days will be upon us. Heavy months come sometimes. But Sheikh Efendi used to say as long as you believe, all of them are for your benefit. There can't be any harm. Hadith of our Prophet is also like this. Everything is good for a believer. There's nothing bad. Today Alhamdulillah, we finish three holy months and we finished feast of Eid al Fitr. Three days, and now we are in Shawwal month. Arabic month and Arabic calendar. Important for Allah Azza wa Jalla, for Prophet(saw), for religion, this Arabic moon calendar. All holy days. Not holidays to go on holiday, holy for Allah. Real holy days are in these months. Alhamdulillah, Allah gave us in these months many holy days. And still, for Shawwal even, there is sunnah to fast 6 days after Ramadan, in Shawwal. From the first till the end of Shawwal you can fast these days. And also this is a gift from Allah for believers, for mu'min to continue this reward from Allah.

Alhamdulillah, we are thankful to Him because there is also in holy calendar or Arabic calendar some months, they are very holy, some months they are good, some months it is little bit make trouble. Shawwal it is from heavy months but Alhamdulillah, we believe in Allah and Prophet (saw) it is good, mubashshir, good tidings. Everything for mu'min it is good. Even illness or poorness or everything, it is good for mu'min. So, no problem, Alhamdulillah. But also we may give more sadaqa to be more easy this month.This is from knowledge,from Allah's knowledge. Allah, how He taught us this? By Prophet (saws). By Prophets, Allah created people and He made them in levels. Not everybody, everyone same like the other. The highest level prophets all Prophets but the highest one Prophet Muhammad (saws). After him there are 7 Ulu l- Azm, they are most strong Prophets. After, 313 prophets and they have message from Allah. And there are only 124 Prophets without message. They are looking for other Prophets' messages when they are coming and they do what they are ordered there.

So Allah Azza wa Jalla why He sent prophets? There are many people they think they are clever, very clever they can do anything. They are thinking they are big thinkers, and there are philosophers and they write books. Because this knowledge has limits and after this limit Prophets, they are teaching the real knowledge because what these people are teaching, it is only for a short time if you can benefit. From some of it, you cannot even benefit. It is like poison making you destroy your eternal life. It is so low. The high knowledge it is from Prophet (saws), from all Prophets (saws). Their teachings are from Allah's knowledge to save you from Hell, from Judgement Day. But

these people for a very short period, maybe they can have benefit. What benefit? Material benefit and it is very short. Maybe even years and years also quickly finish. But eternal it is all the time, benefit coming. Allah's knowledge helps you to be happy here and hereafter. But material knowledge especially without belief, of non-believers is destroying you, here before Last Day. But even people from Muslims, they can take what is good to help people from this knowledge, but not take the other side because they are saying, "as-sam fi d-dasam". Saying in Arabic, the poison is in the butter. People they like to eat butter and without knowing they put poison and are eating. They say they thought they're getting benefit and after they are dying, going. So you must be careful, very careful to not imitate these people who are not believers. Only take what can benefit you from this. From others leave it, you are not obligated. To make these people happy you destroy your eternal life? It is not from good thinking.

Wa Min Allahi at-Tawfiq. Al Fatiha.

32.Beware of Extremists Friday, August 1, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati As'habi RasulAllah, madad ya Masha'ikhina, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faizi Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyya.

Ad-dinu n-nasiha. Religion is advice. In fact it is obligatory to give advice here. And it is obligatory to listen too. It's obligatory to accept the truth. Hadhrat Ali Effendi said that the sign of craziness is "imma ifrat, imma tafrik", meaning you go from one extreme to the other. And in our religion of Islam - "ad-dina lwasata", you have to be in the middle. That's why nowadays we can see everywhere people are going to extremes. This is not a smart thing. A smart person won't do bad things when he gets angry. He has to know the real meaning. Also does it comply with the command of Allah? While you think you're doing good, in fact, you're doing bad. You destroy both yourself and others.

Why am I telling this? Nowadays, we see that fitna is everywhere, all around the world. Some people are being oppressed, very oppressed. When they stand up to stop that oppression, they do much worse. They do a useless thing then. They have strength, huge weapons in their hands. You destroy and kill people. Then, as if it's not enough, you destroy the houses of Allah. You blow them into air, you blow up the graves. Our Prophet says to respect even the bones of the dead, deceased Muslims. You blow up beloved servants of Allah. Not only alive, but also dead people can't escape from your oppression. Do you think what you do is good? Or you think you will succeed in it?

I don't know if he did as much as you, but Genghis Khan destroyed with the Mongol armies too. In less than a year, nothing was left. This man was thousand, ten thousand times stronger than you. In 3-5 years, he destroyed everything. Now, it's not even known where his palace or his grave is. Now ask where he is now. It's unknown. And are you going to be eternal by oppressing? In contrast, there is the Ottoman Empire, which goes on the right way and makes people live in justice, goodness and mercy on the way of Allah. Khalifas of the Prophet, Khalifat-ul Muslimeen, they were lasting for 700 years. They didn't oppress anyone. People used to ask for help from Ottomans everywhere. They went even to India. Ottomans went to Malaysia and Indonesia in order to help Muslims over there. Anyone who heard the name of Ottomans would start trembling. There was no unbeliever who wasn't afraid of them. Many years passed since then.

This oppression can't go on like this. They say "Az-zulmu la yadum". (Oppression doesn't last) It's a known truth. You say you are ahl-us sunnah. Ahlu s-sunnah can't be like this. Or you have gone out of ahlu ssunnah. Who doesn't know madhhabs and shariah can't be from ahlu s-sunnah. Ahl-us sunnah are the people who don't do harm to what Allah has ordered. Oppression is zulumat. Zulumat is darkness. The more you oppress, the more you become harmed. Who do we tell this to? We tell this because there are many deceived people. Who has gone there is stuck, no goodness from them. I don't think they'll do good. Because who does oppression is cursed by Allah. He can't be saved because he has oppressed and killed Muslims. He will go to eternal hell.

But there are many deceived young people from Central Asia. Somehow many people are deceived in that region. Our Prophet was not like this. Our Prophet and Qur'an describes them as the biggest unbelievers, the biggest hypocrites. Don't be deceived by them. Don't be among them. Nothing can be attained with bombs, guns and weapons. It is with justice, beauty and guidance. The more you oppress, the more troubles come onto you, the more people following you will be destroyed. That's because we hear many people being deceived.

Our Prophet says, he was Arab but Arabs are not from him. Who are the worst unbelievers? The unbelievers of Quraysh. Our people assume they are saints when they see Arabs. These Arabs don't believe in saints. I don't understand how you see them as saints then. I get angry here but with a reason because we know what is inside and outside them. Everyone sees it now. As our Prophet said, he was Arab, but Arabs are not from him. The Prophet is ahead of Arabs, he doesn't accept them. He says to follow whoever is on the right way. He says "walaw 'abdan habashiyyan", meaning - even if it is a black man on the right way, follow him. But if he's from Quraysh and unbeliever, don't follow. It is obligatory to listen to what our Prophet says. That's why, be cautious, don't destroy yourself. Aiming to become a shahid, don't become dirty, don't be like a carcass. Because the one who oppresses Muslims on purpose will go to eternal hell. Our Prophet says so. May Allah protect all of us. May Allah give understanding to these people. And we are not afraid of anyone. Allah is with us. He is not with the oppressors. Today we speak about to be extreme. Hz Ali he was saying from the side of madness - "imma ifrat imma tafrik" - to go to the end of this side or you must be in the right in the middle. Allah said in Quran, "We created you "Ja'alnakum 'Ummatan Wasatan" (2:143) "We make you a middle Nation"- to be in the middle not to be extreme. Extreme is not good. Why we say this? Because these days there is big fitna around us. And people... there was oppression, they have been oppressed for many years. And other people came and said, "we will save you from this." And beginning war. But what happened? The old oppression it is now very light from what happened now, from these people who they said "we will save

you." They make oppression for these people 100 times more. Of course you have oppression, but when you do this, you are making people to say "how it was nice in the old days."

And these people they are making oppression for every people, even that people, not the same from their oppression. And even House of Allah, mosques, they are blowing up. How you can do this? Prophet (said) (swas) even one bone of Muslim if it is old, maybe 10 year 100 years, you must take it and put it (bury) again, respecting it. How you do this and you are saying "we are Muslims, we are saving you?" This is not Ahlu s-Sunnah. Ahlu s-Sunnah they are not like this. There are two kinds of Muslims. Ahlu s-Sunnah and the others they are all extremists, all! What you have out of Ahlu s-Sunnah - they are extremist. We accept Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, we accept S. Omar, we accept S. Osman, we accept S. Ali (kAw). And we accept and respect Ahlu l-Bayt. This is the etiquette of Ahlu s- Sunnah wa l- Jamaat. Who saying not respecting and saying this is this and that, they are out of Ahlu s-Sunnah, they are extremist. Which kind of part, this is extreme of Islam, Muslim, not Islam, Muslim. Because Islam is one. The right Islam. Islam is away (far) from these people. Especially nonMuslim people quickly they say "Islam." But Islam is different and Muslims are different. Islam is the purest religion, because it comes from Allah (awj). But Muslims they are weak against their egos, against their people. They can make they are following Islam maybe 5%, not 100%, but after people say "this is Islam". No! This is not Islam. And to those who think we are strong, we are good fighters, we have good weapons, we quickly we take and kill, destroy everything, and we will be here. No they don't think because oppression is not going to continue - for a very short time it is. Because before these people, before a 1000 year or 900 something like this, there was Genghis Khan Mongol Emperor, he came to all this area, and he destroyed Samarkand, Bukhara to Baghdad, even everything he destroyed. Hulagu he was destroying Baghdad and throwing all books in Tigris (river). But how many years he was in power? Maybe only 2 years he was in this area. After what happened, finished! Even now they don't know where is his grave. They looked saying "maybe here, maybe here. No palace, nothing."

But compared to this there is another good example - Ottoman Empire. There was Ahlu s-Sunnah wa lJamaa they were respecting Prophet, Awliya', sahaba, all the sahaba. And respecting Ahlu l-Bayt, Ahlu tTariqa. And they had justice and mercy. So they were 700 years in power. You can imagine? It is the longest Empire since.. in history. Why? Because there was justice. With justice it continues with oppression it is a very short time. For a very short time it continues. Because they (Ottomans) were respecting all sahaba and others, so Alhamdulillah it was a long and nice for Ahlu s- Sunnah wa l-Jamaa', and they were fighting all ahlu l-bida' who wanted to make fitna in Islam. They were fighting against them, nobody could hear their voice. And besides them they were fighting also non-believers because they were attacking them because shaytan doesn't like Prophet's (saws) flag to be high. And there was Khalifa

of Muslims, Khalifa of Prophet (saws) defending Islam and Muslims. Even in India, they were defending Muslims in Indonesia also. Everywhere they were hearing the word... the name of Ottoman, they were afraid. They cannot do anything against Islam. Why? Because Allah supports them, Prophet (saws) support them. Why we say this? We are not saying for these people who are not fighting because these fighting people they are finished now. I don't know if... They are cursed from Allah. Because they are making not acceptable things. But we say this for many people from Asia, from Pakistan from other people they want to join them they thought they are right. No! Don't go there. They are not right. These people in Quran and Prophet (saws) he was saying. In Quran "Al A'rabu ashaddu kufran wa nifaqan" (9:97) Hypocrites, these Arabs. These people, especially these people. And our non-Arab people, when they saw one Arab saying something, they thought he is a saint. How do you say he is a saint? They don't believe in saints. Why believe them? Prophet (saws) he said "I am Arab, but the Arabs are not from me." And he was saying, the most enemies to him they were his tribe, Quraysh. Kuffar Quraysh they are the most famous for this. And Prophet (saws) he was saying also, to follow negro, habashi, man who is on right way, taking you to Allah. If he is, you must follow him. But if he is from Quraysh and Arab and he is making bad things, don't follow him. So, this is opening.

Don't be cheated by who is saying "we are Arab, we are knowing Quran." They don't know anything. Even they don't know how to read it. We are in big fitna days. So we are "Ad-dinu n-nasiha" (Hadith) Din/religion is to give advice. And to give advice is obligatory, and to listen to this advice it is also obligatory. So we are advising our people - Don't be cheated and you are thinking you're going to be shahid. No! You are not going to be shahid if you do these things. Only you are a murderer and you will be judged like this. And who kills a Muslim with oppression, he will be in hell forever. This is what is written in The Quran and what the Prophet (saws) said in Hadiths. So don't be cheated and come to Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa' even if they don't have weapons for what they have now in their hands. They are with Allah, they are more powerful than these people who have everything. Alhamdulillah we are not afraid, because Allah is with us and insha'Allah not against us.

Alhamdulillah, wa min Allahi t-Tawfiq Al Fatiha.

After the time of the prophets came those who followed their ways, after them came saints and scholars. They came one after one, to teach what the prophets had taught. Man should never be idle. When he is idle, he begins to do bad things. To begin, he will deny Allah or, try to suit Allah's commands to his own whims and his own ideas, saying, "this is Allah's wish".

This becomes the fitna of shaytan, what his nafs and his desire are asking. Therefore, it is important to have a murshid. A murshid is a person whose wish is to do Allah's command. These are people whom Allah appointed to show others the way, to give them guidance. Shaytan does not love these people. Shaytan does not like them, and they also do not like those that shaytan loves. They call them mushrik, or whatever. Some say mushrik, some say something else. Shaytan and his friends do not like these people. But they are people beloved to Allah and His Prophet.
