help you to make. It is very good thing.

The Indian and Pakistani people, they are mashaAllah religious people. But shaitan, he not like to make it easy. So making many kind of people, new people coming around and saying this, saying that. It is... You must know, Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa, they are coming direct from Prophet (saw). They are following Prophet (saw), they are all time In-sha’Allah , they will be majority. Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa what meaning? Meaning you must follow madhhab, 4 madhhabs. We have haqq 4 madhhabs (4 true schools of Law). You must follow one of them. There is no madhhab after these. Only 4. Who they are following this madhhab, that madhhab behind [other than] Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki, they are not acceptable.

Why? Because they are refusing many sahaba. They are refusing many hadiths. And they are putting by themselves rules which not accepted. They are making halal thing, they say "This is haram". And the haram thing, they do it halal. This you cannot accept Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa. Allah says aqida, aqa'id -belief.

You must follow true belief. There are 4 imams for madhhab, 2 imams for belief. For Hanafi, Abu Mansur Maturidi. For Shafi, Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari. And what they are saying? All nearly same. Little bit different but it is not important. But for others, they won't have even imam for aqida. Just they are doing as they like. We cannot accept this. And shaitan, he put this between Indian and Pakistani people more and more because other people, they are not so religious like you. So they have another thing to take them away from Islam. But these people, they are following really he don't want 100% to go to jannah. Must go to jahannam also. So there are these people following, cheated by shaitan, following no madhhab, or following wrong madhhab. One of belief, our belief, Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa in aqida, Ash'ari and Maturidi, to get same together, they believe in signs of Qiyama/Judgment Day. There is a small sign and big sign. Big sign, it will come. But when one of them coming, they are coming together, all together. Maybe in 20 years or 40 years - all coming and after Qiyama happening.

What is first of them? Mahdi alaihi salam and to fight with Dajjal. Dajjal also from big signs. Dajjal, he is the Antichrist, we say. He has one eye and he cheat people. He's showing jannat-jahannam, paradise and hell, with him but it is wrong. When say, somebody accept jannah, it is really hell. And when accept hell, it is really paradise for people. And Isa alaihi salam. We believe he will come to earth and he will follow Mahdi alaihi salam. Many hadiths and right hadiths from Prophet (saw) explain this. We must believe in this from our real belief. If you don't believe in this, you are not in Ahl as- Sunnah wa l-Jamaa.

After, of course, many things like Yajooj, Majooj, Dabbat ul-Ard, Islamic bad, big creature coming between Safa and Marwa. It will come through earth and very huge. It'll be big as big bear. And after people looking, it is coming out. It's taking from each animal one part. And it will have muhru Sulaiman/the seal of Soloman and asa'u Musa (staff of Moses) If should see Muslim putting his hand by asa of Musa, stick of Musa alaihi salam, it will write "This is Muslim". And if with this muhru Sulaiman seen non- Muslim or not-Muslim putting in his nose, and it will become a black point, after all his face will be black. And it will be sun rising from West. Many signs. Now you know. We don't want to make long speech.

All these, we are obligatory to believe in this. It will happen because Prophet (saw) saying all things. And especially in the end of times it will be harj wa marj (big mess). What meaning? Like terrorism. Who kill he don't know why he kill. Who killed they don't know why they (were) killed. Here in your South Africa, no war. But also you have this problem without knowing. But in other part of Muslim world, other world, all seeing, showing it is the end of times. Mahdi alaihi salam will come In-sha’Allah . When Mahdi alaihi salam comes, he will clean all the earth from all dirt. It will be just and very beautiful place, whole world. Only Islam from East to West La ilaha illAllah, Muhammad RasulAllah. Even lions will go through with impala or with cow, with sheep, without doing anything (harmful) for them. It will be like this. So In-sha’Allah it is very near. Very near but what we will do In-sha’Allah for being protected from bad things to happen for you? The most important thing to give sadaqa. "As-sadaqa tarudu bala'a wa tazidul 'umr (charity repels trouble and increases life -Hadith) Before going from house, put some box or some jar, you put in it money, sadaqa for you and for your family. If you are rich, you put. Don't afraid. Because rich people, they are afraid to put more than poor people. Poor people also, they can put as they can afford. It is very important because in this area your country, it is really worse. Even when we were many times in civil war country, it is more safe than your country. So don't worry. Put and don't worry. Allah keep you because Prophet (saw) and it is who obey His order, he will be protected. As we said, we must believe in this. Don't let your children go nighttime to not good place. And women also, you must be not going so much outside. This is Mawlana order also. Allah help you In-sha’Allah . Allah save us to see these good days.

It is everywhere in the world, no place happy or no place rest. No peace in any place in the world. Even in Europe or other place, all complaining; economic crisis and other crisis. Nothing going right now. Why? Because the end of times coming. In-sha’Allah we'll be with Sayyidina Mahdi alaihi salam. He is real imam and he is a real Mujtihad mutlaq (absolute lawgiver) when he comes, he will be, because he is Mujtihad mutlaq after Prophet (saw). That time no madhhab. All madhhabs going. He will show what... Only what he said, it will be done. But now we must follow one of these madhhabs.Don't be... many people there saying "We are educated. No need for madhhab. We know Qur'an. We know..." You don't know anything. Because these now people, they are lazy to read book even. And after open Qur'an they are saying "This you can kill. You can do this, you can do that". No, you cannot do anything. Only with order of your amir. Who is amir? Who is governor or, not small governor who can make a small group and this is amir for us, he cannot do this. He must follow Khalifa or who is King or Emir of some place. But without this, if you do by yourself, it will be big mess. Everybody, it will be like here. Not safe for anybody. And it is forbidden. Because you sacrifice yourself, maybe you think you're doing this for Islam, but you do this, you do it for nothing. And you'll be murderer. And in Qiyama you'll be in jahannam forever because you kill Muslim or kill children or you kill women.

You must know what you are doing. Don't be cheated by anyone. Only be with Ahl as- Sunnah wa lJamaa. They are on right way. Don't listen to anybody else. And this what we must teach our children. Alhamdulillah here also we have many madrasa, they are teaching. In-sha’Allah, Allah help us. Allah help us In-sha’Allah and to give patience until Mahdi alaihi salam comes.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

67.The Key To Satisfaction Wednesday, October 29, 2014.

Tariqatuna s-sohba wa l-khairu fi l-jamaiyah.

Allah created whole Universe and He created Adam alaihi salam, from his children Allah created many type colors, different languages, and different races. So He gave for every nation, for every race different specialty. But important thing - if you are poor, if you are rich, if you're weak, you are strong - the most important thing to obey Allah's order and to do it. This is what He wants from you.

Everybody, they are looking for their worshipping and looking for themselves, the world it will be in peace. But when people they looking for rich people, for poor people, for color, for other things, nobody can be satisfied. A man, mankind, they must to find peace, to be satisfied what they have. Many hadiths of Prophet (saw) saying, don't look to people who are higher than you. Only look yourself and what many people they are lower than you by money or by health, by wealth. Many people you can find. If you look for up, you will never be satisfied. Allah, He not created us for dunya. No. He created us "Wa ma khalaqta l-jinna wa l-insa illa liy'abudun" (51:56) only to worship. This is the most important thing. We are since 1 week travelling through South Africa. Many places poor people, many poor people, and South Africa it was the most rich country. We were hearing this. It is first world, second world, third world. We were in third world, but South Africa it is first world. But when you see, it is really... Why? Because no baraka. If these people they are happy with their what situation, it will be baraka for them. It is enough to feed 100 million South Africans, or more. And everything you have. But when no baraka, it is not enough for these people even. Everyone must earn halal. What's halal? By your working. Allah give baraka for this. And it is really good for you, for your family, for your children. They were saying for Indian people, Pakistani people, they also, when they came there was nothing, only maybe 1 handbag and they were living like this. After working hard and believe in Allah, Allah gave baraka. Allah, He's generous. But when no baraka, nothing good. If they eating all world, also no baraka for them. So we must be satisfied and we must be happy with what Allah give us. We're happy and we're thankful. When you are thanking, Allah give more. "La'in shakartum la zidannakum" (14:7) And He is Creator and doing what He said. We believe in this. So In-sha’Allah every time we must remember this: to be satisfied with Allah and to be happy for what He gives us, from how He created us. He created us alhamdulillah healthy, the most important thing.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

68.Hospitality Wednesday, October 29, 2014.

Mawlana Sheikh, he said every time - there is a hadith - when guests coming to a house, their food, rizq, coming before 40 days. More rizq coming and coming every time. So he was very happy, Mawlana, he is, he liked to feed. Even not hungry, he was shouting for sister or for the one they are helping there, "Why you didn't give these people food? Why you not?.." They said "We asked, they don't want". "You are stupid. They are ashamed to say they are hungry. You must put food". He's generous. From Mawlana for everything, but especially to feed people; he was happy to feed people. And not to make israf/indulgence, and to make for poor people also, to send for poor people. Since we were small children, mother she was cooking. Even in that time, it was not so rich people there. It was only few people. And there were derwish, there were poor people. At least, we sent for 3 houses, sometimes for 7 houses, every night. Bahauddin also, when he was small, taking. So he was sometimes complaining –"Why I will go?" Because where we were was mountain.Alhamdulillah he teach us good Prophet's (saw) teaching, very nice teaching, akhlaq/moral character. Not only akhlaq, to be also generous, to be thinking for other people also, for poor people. And every time we want to make something, it is enough for us, you can give for poor people also. This what everybody must teach children, the youngsters - to not only think about themselves. No, also for people around. Because dua, it is important. You take dua from poor people, and he's happy with what you do, it will be open for Allah to accept the dua.In-sha’Allah Allah give you more and more and many guests coming, and you also helping all poor people, other people In-sha’Allah , to be hidaya/guidance for them In- sha’Allah . Fatiha. Also Mawlana Sheikh and Hajji Anne, she was saying, especially for your country. It is like ironwear/armour for against protecting. You read 7 times ayat al-Kursi. Blow 1 to right, 1 left, front, behind, up, down and 7th in full all around. After this, don't worry. And don't forget every morning sadaqa. It is very important, sadaqa here. Poor people, they can put 5 cents. Rich people, they put more. Make box near door. Don't forget this every day, every morning. It is very important advice, nasiha, from Mawlana Sheikh.

69.The Day of Ashura Thursday, October 30, 2014.

Be with Allah and don't be worried. Who, Allah help him, he's never coming down. They love who Allah love him. "La yadhillu man walayt"(You do not humiliate who You befriend) - this is we every day reading in salat-ul Qunut in Fajr. "Wa la ya’izzu man ‘adayt" (You do not strengthen who You hate). And cannot be, cannot be honorable who Allah not love him, he cannot be honorable. Only who Allah love him, he can be honorable.

And Allah not looking for rich man or beautiful one or clever one. Because all this from Allah. But He look for who love Him. He honors him. He make him high. He help him in everything. Many people since Adam alaihi salam coming 2 kinds of people. One of them Allah love them and praise them. Until now everybody know them, respect them. Another kind, they were against. Allah make them down. When their names saying or something, giving examle for bad things. Allah curse them. They are not honorable. And now you know after 3 or 4 days - Ashura. In Ashura Allah give His beloved servant, beloved Prophet or Awliya. Most of them in this day, they are coming to survive and other people they'll be cursed. And it is very holy day. At the end Sayyidina Hussain alaihi salam, also in this day he became Shahid/martyr. The highest station before highest station. And who was against them, they'll be cursed. This is who are with Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) and his family, his Ahl al-Bayt, they are praised. Other who against, not respecting, they'll be cursed.

We must be careful here to not be, to go... When you making something, shaitan can take you each side, it is not safe. There is big hole right side, left side. When they are, some people, they're saying "We are loving Ahl al-Bayt" but they are cursing Sahaba/companions. This also not good because Prophet (saw), he loved his Sahaba, and he said "Who are saying anything for my Sahaba it hurts me. And what hurts me it hurts Allah Azza wa Jalla." Prophet (saw) saying this. So these people, they are going against Sahaba. Shaitan make them. "You are loving ahl al-bayt, these sahaba not good." No. This also not good.Other side, they say "No need to praise, you make shirk/polytheism". When you say this, Allah Azza wa Jalla He write la ilaha illAllah, Muhammad RasulAllah (saw). How it can be? Also they are in wrong way.

Right way - Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa. We love Ahl al-Bayt, we love Prophet (saw), and we love Sahaba, all Sahaba. We believe in Sahaba. Allah make us with them In-sha’Allah . Ashura day is holy day. Prophet (saw) saying he wanted to fast if he reached next year but he couldn't reach, so we... but not only Ashura day. Ashura means 10th of Muharram. We must fast 9th and 10th, or 10th and 11th. Or you can fast 3 days - 9th, 10th, 11th. It is big reward from Allah Azza wa Jalla. And there is 4 rakat for Ashura. Each rakat you read 11 Ikhlas, and there is dua for this. You can do it In- sha’Allah before Asr, Ashura day, 10th of Muharram. It is barakah, gift from Allah. In-sha’Allah this ummah also to survive and to be peace in country with Syria, Iraq and Turkey and everywhere. And In-sha’Allah Mahdi alaihi salam comes soon In-sha’Allah .

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

70.The First Muslims of South Africa Thursday, October 30, 2014.

Community of Muslims they were brought here, most of them exiled or they kidnaped them and make them slaves, and they bring them here. And this pure and poor people they were because to be taken away from home, it is very bad thing. They were suffering. I was... When Dr.Yusuf da Costa saying this, I feeling how much they were suffering. They are coming away from land, from relatives, from what they love, and they bring and they were in very bad condition. But they were sabr, patient people. Patient and they have strong belief. They were real mu'min, believers. And they were patient, this is coming from Allah. If we be patient, Allah will reward us for akhira. This is a short life. After, in akhira, Allah give us. And really, when somebody died, Prophet (saw) hadith, he said there is book for angel. They write, one right side angel, one left side angel. Right side angel writing good things. Left, he writes what they do wrong. They are writing, but even this, Allah from His Merciful He make him (left side angel) to wait 10 hours 1 day. If he (man) making tawba istighfar, want forgiveness, Allah forgive him and He not let him (angel) to write. Then this angel from left side ask right side angel "What I do?" He said "Wait. Wait."

Until when no nothing happens, he says "Ok. You write this". And until when this? Until man passing away. When passing away this finishes; nothing write (anymore) except what? Except 3 things: One - to make good khidma/good works for Islam. Like Mashayikh they are making madrasa/school, they are making book good for Islam, they are making people they are going this way. All this written on his good book, right side book still until Qiyama.

Other one, what it is? It is to build mosque or to build sabeel/drinking fountain for benefit of human beings, like water or like hospital, or school or whatever. But it must be for near for Allah. Third one, what it is? It is good son to make good thing until his son and after him his son, they are continuing, and it is written also. Still opening this book until Qiyama. And these your ancestors, they were poor people. They didn't have anything to do but around them there was, of course, Awliya, 'Ulama. They have this. But poor people, they were praying, making dua to be our children in right way, in Islam. Alhamdulillah, we see this. Their dua is accepted.

MashaAllah all in South Africa are in this worse condition they have, they still they keep their belief. And it is right belief alhamdulillah. No bad belief - All mashaAllah, Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa. This is Allah reward them for the patience to all what they suffered. They not for nothing. For believer, Prophet (saw) he said "I was astonished for Muslim, for what everything for him, it is good." If he suffers for Allah, it is good for him. If he is rich and he's happy, also good. Everything good. So alhamdulillah, we are in big favour, ni'mah from Allah to be Muslim and to be ancestors of these good people. Alhamdulillah. In-sha’Allah until yawm ul-Qiyama don't worry, their dua is accepted because they were mazlum/oppressed people. And In-sha’Allah will be growing around to be hidaya/guidance for local people also In-sha’Allah , to be In-sha’Allah all Muslim country.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

71.South Africa Tuesday, November 11, 2014.

As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi rRahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l- akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, madad ya Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, madad ya Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna ssohbah, wa l- khayru fi jam'iyyah.

Shukr to Allah, we went and returned safely. MashaAllah we found love of Allah everywhere we went. We gathered for Allah, shukr to Allah, purely for Him. There was no other purpose. In-sha’Allah it brought blessings. 14 years ago, Sheikh Efendi went to that area. He went only once but mashaAllah Sheikh Efendi went with wisdom, there is wisdom everywhere he went. They have good people. Their Muslims are calm. Moreover, Sheikh Efendi told them to invite the local people (to Islam). MashaAllah that invitation was accepted. So many local people have become Muslim.

The blessing of that place is, of course because there are many friends of Allah, Awliya there. They were brought from their countries. They brought them as traders, as exiles, as slaves. However, they spread Islam over there. One Muslim... This world is a place of suffering, a place of tests. What we mean by test is, for example - there can't be a greater disaster - 300 years ago, people captured villages, took the people away from their homeland, away from their families, relatives and children. There can't be a greater test than this. However, they said everything was from Allah and were patient, and turned that disaster into goodness. They spread their religion there. In this way they took the religion of Islam there. They built the first mosques. Tombs and dergahs were made. Due to the patience of these people, they passed the test. It was a test. People nowadays have no patience. They want to cheat during the test as they wish so that it becomes easier. It can't be like that. It's been 6 months since Sheikh Efendi left us physically. Spiritually he's with us even more. It was a very big test for our brothers, but shukr to Allah, more than 90% followed the orders of Sheikh Efendi and turned this great disaster into

goodness. Sheikh Efendi used to say something like "try to fill the sea" for those who didn't accept. He had a nice saying.

Sheikh Efendi left us physically, however, spiritually he's much closer. He's closer spiritually. He knows well who's passing the test, who's failing it. Also Sheikh Efendi treats it with delicacy. During a test in a classroom, professors don't care about the one who fails. Teachers don't care. Who fails must think for himself. He should suffer the consequences. You should have passed the test. They've even let you cheat; they open everything in front of you showing the answers. But you can't do even that. Where is the fault of the Sheikh, fault of the professor, fault of the teacher?

But who accepts the test, who submits passes easily, he doesn't have any suffering. Those people, they have accepted even in suffering. They said "It's a test from Allah. We came here, we spread the religion of Islam, we taught the religion to the poor people here, we taught them iman". Even Qur'an was forbidden when they were brought. This holy man who built the mosque, Mubarak, he was a hafiz. They showed his Qur'an as well. He had a mistake in one word, but Allah forgives, because there was nothing. Qur'an can't be changed anyway. One can make many mistakes, that's not important. Important is to accept the test and that it comes from Allah. They passed it like this and reached the highest stations in akhira.

MashaAllah, in many places there are people who feel continuous regret "I wish I had done this, I wish I had done that. I wish I had bought land, I would be rich". People say things like this. But everyone you see there says "I wanted to meet Sheikh Efendi. It wasn't in my destiny". This was their biggest sadness. But they were saying "Shukr to Allah, we met you. We met the person who came to Sheikh Efendi's place by his order." They were happy for this. But, as we said, their biggest sadness is that they didn't meet Sheikh Efendi. Our people, shukr to Allah, everyone should make shukr to Allah for this ni'mah. It's a big gift. As we said, there are tests. But everything is put in front of you, take it and copy it. Some people don't even accept that. What can you say to them? They know for themselves. Saints are merciful, but they can't say anything to those who want to torture themselves and suffer.

Alhamdulillah, we went with jamaat all long trip. And it was very nice, mashaAllah. Very nice, because Mawlana, he also before 14 years, he was in that area. The people, mashaAllah, they are very calm, very good, polite

people. They are not aggressive. Even who not accept tariqa or not accept things, they are not like other country making very aggressive to each other. That's all, just like this. Alhamdulillah, this is big ni'mah. Because if no wisdom to go there, Mawlana he would not going. But for this, these good people, and there they were oppressed people, so Mawlana, he liked to go there. And after when he went, he got another wisdom also. He told these people "You must look for native people, go behind them. They have ability to accept Islam." Alhamdulillah, after 10 years they remember this after Mawlana. And since 3 years, mashaAllah thousands of people accepted Islam. And why Mawlana, he also went there? Because there were many awliya, awliyaullah, saints. These saints, how they went there? It is far from every Muslim country.

There were these Dutch people or other people, Portuguese and others, they were taking. They were like pirates and taking, oppressing for every people. They capturing people from 1000 km away, bring them there. Who fight them, they bring also exiled some for this area. So when they bring these people, these people, there were many of them alim, some of them awliyaullah. They had tariqa. They had imam. There was good people. They accept this from Allah, this test from Allah. So they beginning "What we will do? We come this area, no Muslim here. So In-sha’Allah it is difficult for us." It is not easy to go away from home, from relatives, from where you're born and take you to very far distance. It's very big test. But they were believers, real believers. And "Everything coming from Allah, this nusiba from Allah. But we accept from Allah. So we must keep our people here and teach other people also." So alhamdulillah there was first, since 300 years there was mosque. Coming quickly they make mosque, they make zawiya, dargah, turba for burying saints. And it was good for them. They are not like nowadays people (who) they are not accepting anything, they are not happy with anything, everything they must be on their idea. If not, they are not happy, they are not satisfied. Especially, alhamdulillah our people since Mawlana he left this world, but he left it by his body. By spiritual, he's more powerful spiritually. So he is making test. Alhamdulillah more than 90% of mureeds, they accept and they are happy. And because awliya they know our days people (who) they do not accept, they don't like difficult tests. He make tests very easy, even he opened book.

You can look for and take from book. So alhamdulillah many of them, more than 90%, they accept. But who not accept, he knows, he is free. He can suffer by himself. But if he accepts, it is easy. Take easy way. Not look for - this good,

this not good. Don't make your (own) idea. It is really test. And our test, it is more easy than these people's. You can imagine 300 years illness and they were beating them. "They must work, you must come here. You must... insulting them. "You are slaves, you are doing this." But also alhamdulillah they are not saying anything.

But awliya, they are making test. And they are saying "We are doing test and be careful". And if people not happy there nothing can be good for them.

Alhamdulillah we also went everywhere. Where we go many people, they were saying, people many times maybe after 5 years, 6 years, they say "oof If I can, I buy this house. It would be double price. And this, if we take land, it will be like this." Many people they are regretting. The people who we saw in this trip, why they regretting? Many of them, they said "We regret because we didn't see Mawlana Sheikh Nazim. We love to, we like, we wish, we wish to have seen him". But they said "You are coming here, you are part of him. We are happy also." This is accepting and their being happy. In-sha’Allah when they accept, In-sha’Allah in akhira also, together they can meet In-sha’Allah . This is what advice for people to not take their own idea because Mawlana, he is showing the way, way of Allah. Alhamdulillah we went all this journey just pure for Allah. And it was very nice, alhamdulillah we are happy, and there people also happy. In-sha’Allah Allah keep us like this. And more and more people coming alhamdulillah to right way.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

72.Cleanliness Wednesday, November 12, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. As-salātu wa s-salāmu ‘ala Rasūlinā Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa l-ākhirīn. Madad ya RasūlAllah, madad ya Sādāti Ashābi Rasūlillah, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistāni, madad ya Shaykh Muhammad Nāzim alHaqqāni, dastūr. Tariqatuna s-sohba, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyya.

The religion of Islam is the last and most perfect religion. Since Allah says that He created all the worlds for the sake of His Beloved Prophet, He has made this religion of Islam easy for him. It became the greatest, the most gracious of all religions. It completed and perfected all religions. Gradually - because it is the last and final of all religions; No prophets, nor any other religions came after it. The religion of Islam completed everything, it left nothing to be desired. Of course the Last Day is near, but even if thousands or millions of years were still to come, no other religion would be required, because in Allah's Divine Presence the religion of Allah is the religion of Islam. Inna ad-dina ‘inda Allahi l-Islam (3:19) Little by little, one step at a time, mankind reached to perfection. What is the most important feature of the religion of Islam? It is cleanliness. The actions of one who is not clean are not acceptable. Cleanliness begins first of all with the ablutions [wudu, ghusl] and purification.

Because if these have not taken place no act of worship is accepted; neither prayer nor hajj are accepted, nor anything else. As it is said: At-tahāratu min al-imān. Cleanliness, purification is a part of faith. This exists in no other religion. That is why it is written: “Innamā l-mushrikūna najas”(9:28) The idolaters are najas, unclean, defiled. These are the words of Allah. We do not look down upon people, but the religion of Islam makes it clear. Whoever wishes not to be impure should become Muslim. If you are not Muslim, you are impure. You may not approach the Ka‘aba. You may not approach Mekka or Medina. This is a great honour, it shows the honour given to Islam. You may wash yourself as much as you like, if you are mushrik/unbelieving, you are impure. Become Muslim, it is open to everyone. Whoever you are, nothing prevents you from becoming Muslim. Say: Lāilāha illa Allāh, Muhammadun Rasūlullah and you too will be Muslim, you too will be pure. In Islam there is outward cleanliness, and there is purity of spirit. Purity of spirit takes place when a person becomes Muslim. To become Muslim, naturally there are also other conditions. Cleanliness. The true meaning of cleanliness is a different matter.

A non-Muslim needs to learn cleanliness. A non-Muslim cannot understand. He washes himself all over, but he does not clean the most important parts that need to be cleaned. Thus he becomes impure, filthy. Obviously, as long as he has not become Muslim he can wash as much as he likes, it doesn't matter. The most important part of purity is to be Muslim. Islam is purity, everything is clean - everything you eat, drink or wear, everything needs to be clean. This is the most lovely thing. There is nothing as lovely as cleanliness. No one likes a dirty, filthy person. This is not found in other religions. They used to baptize people. Only now they are learning to wash with water. They used to think: if water touched them, it was a sin.

To wash is the greatest sin, it washes away their baptism. They immerse themselves in water once in their lives, when they are baptized at birth, never again. They don't even wash their dead for burial. That is only in Islam, in no other religion. Allah has given cleanliness to the Muslims. It is the special feature of the Muslim religion. If they observed that alone, it is enough. A pure one - people regard him as bad on account of his being Muslim, but the most beautiful thing, the very best for people in all the world, is Islam. But they don't understand. Actually, they do understand - they know it, but it doesn't suit them. Shaytan deceives them. Therefore, let us thank Allah that we are Muslims. If there is anything to be grateful for, it is this. Al-hamdulillah, we are Muslims. It is not a question of saying: Al-hamdulillah, we are Arabs, Turks, Kurds or Cherkess. You must say: alhamdulillah, we are Muslims, for you are Muslim. Others, non-Muslims, let them be Arabs as much as they like. They can be of any nation they like, it doesn't matter. Once they have become Muslim - Germans are our brothers, Africans and Chinese are our brothers. But if they are not Muslim, it doesn't matter that we are of the same people. What matters is the pure brotherhood - to be together with clean people.

Alhamdulillah we are today saying we are following Islam. And we are saying this for all people all around the world. Islam is not a bad religion. Islam is the highest, the top of religions. Because Allah give for our Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad (saws) the beloved one, He created everything for him and He gave him the best religion. Because other religions are also real but now until when they are coming, until now nothing is left from them. But even in their time still it was, because the most beloved one, Prophet (saws), He kept this religion for him to be last one and the complete one, the perfect one. And the perfect one there is no need for anything after this.

Even now Judgment Day is not so far, because Prophet (saws) saying, maybe 7000 years it must be whole time from Adam (as) and nearly finished. But even 1000 years also still continues this world it's enough for them, even million years it is enough because Qur'an Allah (awj) says, "'Inna d-dina inda Allahi l-Islam" (3:19) Is Divine present, Islam. Nothing else. So Alhamdulillah it is the most perfect and complete religion. But of course shaytan and his followers they try to make it not good. And they have followers everywhere and helpers they are doing many things to cheat people.

And people when they are hearing Islam, they are afraid. No don't afraid, Islam. In Islam different, Muslims different. Because Muslims they cannot practice Islam just by practicing (doing) as they want. For this Islam looks like different. But real Islam it is different from what the Muslims are doing. And the most important thing in Islam there is not in any another religion, the clean - to be clean. If you are Muslim and you are not clean you cannot touch Quran, you cannot pray, you cannot make Hajj. You must be clean. How to be clean? First beginning, from clean your body. Especially clean in toilet also. Not with what these people they are making with paper. With water very clean it must be. And to eat clean, to dress clean also. If you have any bad in your trousers it is not accepted to make worshipping. And to be clean with eating also. You cannot eat pork or you cannot eat blood also - this is not clean, this. Many things when you are looking for Islam it is really the most clean religion. And Muslims they are clean. Non-Muslim they are dirty. This Allah says "Innama l-mushrikuna najas" (9:28) This is not our saying, it is Allah's word "Verily the polytheists are impure." (9:28) What najas meaning? Dirty. We are not saying this to make people, make them down, no! If they like to be clean, they must be Muslims! This is Allah. If you are not clean you cannot come near Kaaba, you cannot come near Prophet (saws), Madinatu l-Munawwara, Makka lMukarrama.

This is Allah's word. And it is real to encourage people to be, take their level up, not to be down. Dirty people they are not acceptable people. But also we cannot say anything for them, they are free. And no forcing. But we say what Allah says. And when Muslims, German Muslims, Chinese Muslims, American Muslims, he is like us, our brothers. But if he is Arab and not believe and he is in another religion, he is not our brother. This is what Allah says. But he is not brother, (but) we will not fight him. Just if he like, he can come. If he doesn't like ok also he is free. We making but he has level in Divine Presence of Allah, not acceptable. Because Allah He gave them everything and they are still fighting Allah. They are not fighting us, they are fighting Allah. They are with the devil. They are with bad people, so they are free. They, nobody can win for (against) Allah (awj). Allah "Wa Llahu ghalibun ala amrih" (12:21) Allah He is ... nobody can win (over) Him, He is every time controlling everything. This is advice for people to come to right path. To not be away from Islam. Don't be afraid from Islam. This what you see it is not from Islam. Islam different. These people different. This is the summary of this speech.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al Fatiha.

73.Home of Peace Thursday, November 13, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. As-salātu wa s-salāmu 'ala Rasūlinā Muhammadin Sayyidi lawwalīna wa l -ākhirīn. Madad ya RasūlAllah, madad ya Sādāti Ashābi Rasūlillāh, madad ya mashayikhinā madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Fāizi d-Daghistāni, madad ya Shaykh Muhammad Nāzim al-Haqqāni, dastūr. Tariqatuna as-sohba, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyya.

Our way is based on association, and goodness is in gathering. Thanks to Allah that we are Muslims. That is the greatest Divine favour. To be Muslim is not a bad thing. Islam gives people contentment and ease, it makes their troubles go away. No matter how troubled a Muslim might be, Allah makes his heart wide, so that he does not feel so distressed, because he has faith. This is a way station. It is a station on the way we are traveling. Our basic place, our real home is eternity. That is why we have troubles on this road. As they say: as-safaru qit'atun min saqar. Saqar is the name of one level of Hell, and traveling is a part of that hell. Go wherever you like, travel as comfortably as you might, whoever embarks on a journey, even the most relaxing mode of travel, he will meet with some kind of trouble. Therefore, as we have said, the travel through this world is a station along our road, where we come to stop. After this we continue along our way. To be a Muslim is nothing very difficult, as we have said. One becomes Muslim by speaking one word. But shaytan makes it seem a very bad thing, saying: "Don't place your faith in this, don't accept it." No. There is no such difficulty. Why? "wa-llahu yada'u ila dari s-salam"(10:25) Allah is calling us to the Gardens of Salvation, to the Home of Peace. Dar us-Salam is the name of one of the gardens of Paradise. Allah invites mankind to Paradise gardens. Dar us-Salam, meaning salam, peace, Islām, aslam, taslam, salām - It is all the same place. Allah calls us to Islam, so that He can place you in Paradise. But mankind does not want this. Not that he actually doesn't want it, but he is deceived. Shaytan cheats him, his desires cheat him, his surroundings cheat him. It appears as evil to them. They see what is good as evil. And what is bad they see as good. Allah, ‘azza wa jalla, has created us and He created us in the best of forms. He wishes for us not to go to waste, for us not to fall into hellfire, but Shaytan wants exactly the opposite. He invites us into Hell. He calls us to darkness, to sorrow, grief and whatever calamity there might be, Shaytan calls us to it. Allah, may His Glory be exalted, says: Be contented! Come to goodness, come to beauty. But most people will not accept this. There are many Muslims in the world, but even more people who walk in the way of disbelief - maybe twice or three times as many. Be at ease, contented, says Allah, ‘azza wa jalla. Be happy and relaxed in your faith. Do not

sit there and sulk. Give thanks at all times that Allah has placed us upon this path and brought us to such lovely places.

That is what faith is: To believe in what Allah has spoken, to obey His commands. Of course there are various degrees of faith. People of weak faith differ from people whose faith is stronger, greater and more vigorous. There are degrees among the believers, each to his own level. One who says: Lāilāha illa Allāh, Muhammadun Rasūlullāh, thus becomes Muslim; he has entered into the faith. After this come the commandments, prayer, fasting, alms-giving, hajj. These are commandments, by degrees. Some people obey all of them, some people only perform part of their duty, some do nothing at all, but still, after a person says: La ilaha illa Allah, he has entered within that circle. In the end he will encounter the Mercy of Allah, insha'Allah. But those remaining without, they have disobeyed Allah and followed shaytan, and they too will go with what they have loved.

Alhamdulillah we are Muslim, we are happy. Allah saying, calling us to Daru s-Salam. Daru s-Salam - Home of peace. Salam meaning peace, salam. Islam coming from salam. So Allah (awj) He is calling all people "come to peace, to find peace." Only by Allah's order because He is Creator, He knows what is good for us, what is not good for us. And it is the best thing to accept His invitation. And His invitation it is very easy, not so difficult. Only two words –you say it and you become His believer, believer for Him. What are these 2 words? La Ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasulullah. This is from all Prophets, they were saying this, la Ilaha illa Allah. Every Prophet saying, Musa Rasulullah. La Ilaha illa Allah. Isa Rasulullah. La Ilaha illa Allah Nuh Rasulullah, until Prophet (saws) last one, to say la Ilaha illa Allah Muhammadun Rasulullah. It is easy. And there is station, ranks: there is strong believer, there is weak believer also. Allah accepts this. After you say this there is something you must do - order of Allah - to pray, to fast, to give 2.5% from your money every year, not every month like government you pay 70%. From where it is? When Allah saying this to give 2.5% it is more baraka and enough for everybody. If all people they 're giving this, no poor people. But government taking from people 70%, 60% and not enough for them even. They've become like communists. And to go to Hajj if they have money enough - This is order of Islam, of Allah. Some people they are doing all.

Some people they are doing 1, 2, or not doing anything only saying La Ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasulullah. Even when you say this it is between you and Allah. Maybe He forgive you or He give after the end - even they're going to jahannam/hell - after taking their punishment, they will come to paradise. But who is out of this circle of Iman, Islam, it is, they are with shaytan. Allah calling people to peace and to paradise. Shaytan calling people to be miserable, to be sad, to be dirty, to be every badness; to do every badness. And at the end he is not calling to paradise, he is calling for hell. Who is outside of this circle he is with shaytan. But who is accepting and obeying Allah because Allah saying "Come here, come to this circle. Come to be in peace -to be in

paradise." You say "No, we don't want You." How? Who want you? You want shaytan, so you can be with shaytan. And shaytan making millions of tricks for people to not be in Islam. They make traps, tricks and people, the most of people, are outside of Islam, what Allah calling for. Muslims maybe 1 part of 4. The most people are outside of Islam. The majority in the world they are not Muslims, not obeying Allah. And they are free. But Allah He is Merciful. He wants them to come and says "Come." And it is not so difficult and not so you can't do it. It is not something you cannot do, people they cannot do. They do it very easily. Because they are doing things every day it is more difficult than praying, than fasting, than doing good things. They are doing very tiring things but for shaytan not for Allah. Allah not giving word, put word on people, what they cannot do. He, what He said, what He ordered it is easy and useful forspiritual things and for your body also because there is connection. If your spiritual being is strong, your body will be strong, even you are in bed. If you cannot do anything, even for this you'll be happy. Because Muslim always happy. And why? Because his spiritual with Allah. Allah supporting him. And of course this dunya it is like temporary thing. Like we are going travelling, this is just a small station. We will stay little bit and after we continue to our main, permanent life. For permanent life and for our home of peace, Daru s-Salam, what Allah calling. We are going there so we are happy and we are insha'Allah travelling. And in travel also not easy to travel, even you are very comfortable in travelling it is also a little bit difficult. So, and but when you are going to some place you like, you are happy when you are travelling even if you have difficulty and it is like this for Muslim, for believers of Allah. And obeying order of Allah and order of Allah to be believer on Him, His Oneness, and to accept His beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws).

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al Fatiha.

74.Following the Good Way Friday, November 14, 2014.

As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi rRahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu was-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Masha'ikhina, dastur. Tariqatuna ssohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.

In-sha’Allah, these assemblies, our jamaa, jamaa of Naqshbandi Muslims, is a jamaa of goodness. Be together with them. The Ayat we quoted during the khutba a while ago - Walk in this world, eat pure things, be with pure people. Stay away from bad people, they won't be of benefit to you. Don't follow shaitan. Shaitan is a big enemy. He will never be a friend. Though he may appear as a friend, he'll seem so to deceive you. Every time you do goodness, he tries to spoil that goodness. How shall we protect ourselves from him? You shouldn't be alone. You should follow a Sheikh. You should have a murshid so that he protects you. Otherwise, you can't protect yourself on your own.

You can do much goodness. Shaytan will make you do badness after that goodness. All the goodness you did will become useless. He'll deceive you. That's why, be with good ones. Make good friends. And good ones don't go to bad places. Good ones don't go to pubs, nightclubs, here and there. Even if good ones are deceived and go there, they are not good who go there. Then, may Allah protect. Our Prophet said this – when they drink, their faith leaves them and if they die at that moment, they depart without faith. Faith leaves while committing adultery as well. It goes aside and waits until that dirty job is done. If one dies at that moment, he departs without faith also. If one dies while robbing something, he'll be without faith too. When you do these bad things, you're not good, you're not with good ones. If you are in a mosque, people of the mosque are good people. If you are in a dergah, they are good. Allah has shown good and bad. We say those people are bad but do we oppress them? No. They shouldn't do it. They should be good too. There's nothing forcing them. If he wants to be good, if he's upset, he should leave that dirty business and come to clean assemblies. But no, shaitan keeps deceiving. Our Prophet used to say - in last times goodness will be forbidden and badness will be ordered. All bad things will be encouraged. Everything will be shown permissible and normal. They are doing all dirty things, which they show as beautiful. When they show it even worse things appear. Then even those who showed badness as good become afraid of things being done, when shaitan brings even worse things. That's why - Be with good ones.

As we said, shaitan tries to deceive good ones and people on the right way as well. "You are like this, you are like that" - Arrogance. Arrogance is a big sin. To boast, to favour yourself is not a good thing. It leads to destruction too. Shaitan tries to make them lose their way by saying "You're the best, you're the greatest, you're the strongest, there's no one like you". As we said, shaitan is a big enemy. From the beginning till the end of Qur'an, Allah Azza wa Jalla showed shaitan as an enemy. Also our Prophet didn't say he's our friend in any of hadiths - he always showed him as an enemy. Beware of him. It's because he can make any trap that it is said - "Beware of shaitan" on every page, in every surah. Now when alims become scholars, they have this sickness of pride too. But the people of tariqa accept it. They don't boast. They accept by saying "My ego is bad. There are people better than me. There are ones much better than me". They're relaxed in accepting it. When you say "I am great, I'm the best. I know the best", you have to prove this. With your ego as a head, they will bother you continuously. They will blow up and up, and as a result, their faith will be lost. May Allah not show it.

Shukr to Allah, Sheikh Effendi lived all his life in humbleness. Never did he say "I am Sultan al-Awliya, I am Qutb al-Arifeen". He didn't say anything like this. Even when Sheikh Effendi met a Sayyid, he said "Look, this one is Sayyid." Whereas, he was himself a Sayyid, but he was humble. May Allah be pleased. Brothers knew it and used to tell of it. Now after Sheikh Effendi, some brothers exaggerate too much, may Allah be pleased with them, of course. "by the order of Sheikh Effendi, we came and sat here, as the time has come". As the khalifa of Sheikh Effendi, some brothers do many things such as call themselves Sultan al-Awliya and so on. We don't have such a claim. Some people are happy, some people are criticizing. They don't get it. May Allah be pleased, but as we said, we don't make claims. There's nothing like this. If we had a claim, we would be being arrogant and arrogance is a big trouble, it's the biggest problem. Shukr to Allah, neither do we have such a claim, nor do we say to anyone, "write this and that". We don't look at what they write anyway. But some people say "They wrote this about you. They did that. Can it be or not?" No - I'm saying it clearly now. I didn't order anything. We don't want it either. We don't claim anything. May Allah know us, not people. May our Prophet know us. It's enough for us to be obedient servants of Allah. We don't want to be this or that. May Allah not separate us from the right way. May we keep this service. It's important that you pray for this.

This burden is not an easy burden. But shukr to Allah, if Masha'ikh and Sheikh Effendi saw it as appropriate, they will certainly help. We're still going here and there, but everyone is happy with His help. Everyone is glad. It is also ok if we don't go. Sheikh Effendi's help is there. But there can't be laziness on the way of Allah. They used to make jihad and sacrifice their lives. That we go here and there is nothing. May Allah increase people. Because, as we said, shaitan is everywhere. By saying "Be a man, be a Muslim", it leads people who are ready to sacrifice their lives to a wrong way. They have perished on the way of shaitan. They serve the enemy of Islam, not Islam itself. That's why, the more people we bring to the way of tariqa, to the way of Allah, and to the way of our Prophet, the more our honor will increase. May Allah make this duty lasting, may we be successful In- sha’Allah . May our numbers increase. Truly, everywhere we go, we see that brothers, the jamaa of Sheikh Effendi are numerous. You can recognize all of them. It's nice,

mashaAllah. That's why, to those who object and speak, we don't have such an order, we don't ask for anything either. What we ask for is the pleasure of Allah. That's the biggest gift for us. May Allah put us purely in His service - not for possessions, nor for fame. These are the things we don't like since the beginning. Those people shouldn't think that we are glad and happy. As we said, we don't have time even to read books, not to mention the internet. We don't have time for that at all. They look themselves, then say this and that happened.

That's why, I ask to tell us if we've made a mistake. We won't be upset. We don't have such character, shukr to Allah. Shaitan is the one upset with truth. Say the word of truth - may Allah be pleased. There when we're saying in the khutba: don't follow (shaytan). Follow, eat, sweet good things. Go to right way. Be with good people. To be with good people it is favor for you. Good people. Where you can find good people? Good people you find in the clean place, like mosque, like derga, or where believers they are coming together to be together you can find nice speak. They are speaking nice and they're teaching good things. And said - Don't follow shaytan. Why? Because he is big enemy for you. Shaytan never been friend with human beings. He is since Adam (as) he is enemy. And he is a great enemy. He is taking you to destroy yourself, to bad place.

Good people they are in this, what we say, with Tariqa with mosque, with derga. Bad people where you can find them? You can find them in pubs, or you can find this bad place where they are doing bad things. These people bad? Of course they are bad. Why? Because they are doing what shaytan ordered for them. When something doing, some man doing bad things, his belief, Iman going up (away from) on him, never be mu'min or believer. To do bad things to drink alcohol. When he drinks alcohol he is, his Iman is not with him. If he dies he goes without Iman, without belief. If he steal (from) somebody also. When doing bad thing, Iman not with him. Why we are saying bad for these bad people? Because if free they don't do this (they are free to not do this). If you don't do this you are a good man, you are a clean man. But when you do this it is your choice. So, it is easy to be with clean people more than to be with bad people. Bad people taking you to bad end. And shaytan he is ordering this to do, to take you to hell. Shaytan never been friend as we said. All Qur'an warning you from shaytan. Allah (awj) He said don't follow shaytan, don't go with him, don't do what he wants. Prophet (saws) also all the time warning from shaytan. But people they still cheated by him (shaytan). Even this we say for these bad people, but for good people they're still also, they can be cheated by him. What they must do? Must do, follow one guide for them -Murshid, Sheikh. Don't be alone. When you're alone you easily he can cheat you and he destroy you. So when gathering with good people you get strong. Never be, don't be alone. Even Masha'ikh, not Masha'ikh - scholar. We say for Tariqa people, who are following Masha'ikh they are safe, most of them. But there is also following Masha'ikh but they want to be alone it is also difficult for them. And he is also, shaytan he knows every trick to make people away from right path. For ulama

the most trick for him he said for them, "you are the most knowledgeable. You are the most good understanding, you are like you are like that." So, they cheat them and they make them to go for Akhira not complete. Some of them even they leave everything, following shaytan. There are many of them you see now in Muslim world, this all people how they become out of Ahl as Sunnah wal Jamaat from these bad scholars. Shaytan teach them; he taught them and he is million of Muslim they are going out from right way. They are doing something only helping shaytan. We are seeing clearly. Other who ranks, they have ranks for shaytan, some of them just he is proud and he is saying for himself "I am biggest scholar. I am like that, I am not listening to anybody." So also not good. Alhamdulillah Mawlana he was his whole life he didn't say something like this. Shaytan cannot come near him Alhamdulillah. Never say "I am Sultan Al Awliya'." Never said "I am this." He never he didn't tell anything for his position, but he of course, because he is following Mawlana Sheikh he was knowing what his rank. And after Mawlana also they... Alhamdulillah for our people they are loving Mawlana and when he pass away and I am coming - they accept. And they were putting many names like Sultan Al Awliya' like this, like that. So, I don't want for them to put this. But I never see, but some people they say they're doing this, making that, because they are looking for internet I think. I never see this. We are not happy to hear from people you are like this, you are like that. It is not our happiness. Our happiness to serve for this Tariqa and for order of Mawlana Sheikh. He is putting us to help. So, Alhamdulillah, we are doing. We want to do. But for, with his baraka everywhere we go people they are happy. And we are happy Alhamdulillah, and this is what we want. We want dua to be spread more and more. Because other shaytan follower, scholar shaytan follower, they are everywhere like cancer in this Islamic world. They are only serving shaytan.

We are serving for Allah. We don't want anything, no present, no money, no nothing we don't want. Only what we want Allah love. Allah give us this strength to be going all around the world insha'Allah and help for people to teach them right way and to show them love of Prophet (saws) and Awliya'. Alhamdulillah and it is really every day going more and more. Because this, we are not for ourselves we want this, and they know if even they put here one (piece of) wood also he can do what we can do. Because they are knowing what they are doing. They put the heart to follow you it is enough. Alhamdulillah this is what we want and we want ridha Allah (Allah's satisfaction). You must insha'Allah make dua to be in right way, insha'Allah, not following shaytan. Alhamdulillah we are with Mawlana and his holy turba/grave and he is every time with us. Spiritually he is more stronger than before and he is - we're feeling him everywhere we go. People they are saying this also. Even they are seeing him more in dream, more than before. Alhamdulillah.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al Fatiha.

75.We Want Good People Saturday, November 15, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Masha'ikhina, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Fa'iz ad-Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammed Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur.

Alhamdulillah, Allah is doing things that mu'min/believers cannot think of. Allah is helping and it's working mashaAllah. It's been 6 years mashaAllah. There was nothing. No house, only a field, inside a meadow. People were saying "Who will come? Who will pray here?" People were nearly laughing at it. But Allah Azza wa Jalla is sending - More than 80% of these friends are new. We don't know them. They are coming - Allah is sending. Even if they come by themselves, a man cannot come just like that. Certainly Allah must want them to come. Sheikh Effendi came to Cyprus and started preaching since 1944-46. Since 1946 till now, it means almost 70 years. Almost for 70 years since his youth, Sheikh Effendi came to Cyprus and started preaching. He visited every village one by one and invited people. He went through many troubles. He suffered. But Allah increased his station. He was inviting to the way of Allah without getting tired or bored. Not for his own benefit. Sheikh Effendi saw the truth, he fell in love with truth/Haqq. He invited people to that beauty. Truly, millions of people followed his way. His way is the way of our Prophet. He was the successor of the Prophet. Many people in Cyprus became guided also. There is one saying: No Prophet's value was understood by their nations. Same with Sheikh Effendi. As the successor of the Prophet, he experienced the same thing too. They didn't understand the value of Sheikh Effendi. Allah realized his value.

Sheikh Effendi loved Cyprus and the Cypriots. He wanted them to get benefit too. Because everyone's faith is not equal, Saints have the true faith. He saw the truth and tried to make people believe in it. But of course, people's belief wasn't like his. When he wanted to do good, they were making troubles for him. But that's not important. In this world, everything is in the hands of Allah. Poor or rich, beautiful or ugly, Cypriots or Arabs, black or yellow, whoever they are, no difference. Allah created all of them. That's why, who comes, who follows the way of Sheikh Effendi, he wins. No matter how close he thinks he is, if he doesn't follow him, there is no value.

No one can say to Allah "Look, I come to the mosque for Your sake. Who will pray, if I don't come? Mosques will be empty." Who says things like this has a defect in his

mind. It is said in al-Qur'an ulKareem: "Qul la tamunnu alayya islamakum bali Allahu yamunnu alaykum an hadakum lil imani"(49:17). Beware. Silly people said the same thing to our Prophet "We became Muslim, we did this". Some hypocrites were speaking to the Prophet like this: "You would be nothing without us." It's ok even without you. When an insignificant person gets mad at an important person the VIP usually has no knowledge of it. That's why Sheikh Effendi said something here.

Speaking is for Allah. Allah can speak, He made you Muslims, He put you on the right way. You see now more than 90% are not aware of anything. Besides being unaware, they make judgments: "This is like this, this is like that". Sheikh Effendi brought you to the right way. You should thank him. "If you don't go on the right way, Allah will put others there instead of you", says an ayat of the Quran. These people... It was said to Arabs, because Arabs couldn't understand the value of our Prophet. They were even jealous, saying he's just a man like them. They couldn't bear that a poor, orphan man could be above them. They couldn't bear it during the time of ignorance and they couldn't do it after they became Muslim either. And they can't bear it even more now. That's why, they call those who respect our Prophet mushrik/idolators.

But Allah Azza wa Jalla said in the Qur'an "If you don't love and help him, Allah will send people in your place who will be soft and humble towards Muslims, and powerful, proud and great against the unbelievers". Shukr/thanks to Allah, those people are our people. That's why beware, don't be arrogant. Accept the truth and come to the truth. If you don't come, you will see for yourself. There are many good people created by Allah. He will send them and that's what we pray for. Now we are being tested after Sheikh Effendi. May Allah remove the bad ones from us. May the good ones remain, the good ones come. We don't have tolerance like Sheikh Effendi. We don't have patience and we can't tolerate people's whims. We try to avoid people. We were chosen to be here. May Allah send good ones, that's enough for us. This is our biggest prayer: May good ones come. May those who're not good stay away from us. We don't want the possessions of anyone, neither their houses, nor their cars, nor their animals, nothing. Shukr to Allah, we are not in need. We grew up with the education of Sheikh Effendi. That's why, we don't need anyone. May who comes, come. Who doesn't, may they stay away. And we pray for good ones to come. Bad ones should stay away from us. Every man has a tajalli, this is our tajalli. May Allah be pleased with all of you. We shall make our dhikr now.

76.Do Not Waste Thursday, November 20, 2014.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh. A‘ūdhu billāhi min ash-shaytāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Rahmāni r-Rahīm. Madad ya RasūlAllah, madad ya Sādāti Ashābi Rasūlillah, madad ya Masha'ikhinā, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Fā'izi d-Daghistāni, madad ya Shaykh Muhammad Nāzim al-Haqqāni, dastūr. Tariqatuna s-sohba, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyya.

May Allah grant these gatherings continuity. Allah, may His Glory be exalted, has said: Take the middle way in all things. wa kulūwa-shrabūwa lātusrifū(7:31) Eat and drink, and do not be wasteful. Man is greedy, his nature is created that way. Were it left up to his nafs, even if he were given the whole world, it would not be enough. If, after that, you follow [your nafs], it will not lead you to a good place.

On the way of Allah there is no wastefulness. However rich you might be, do not waste your fortunes. You must know the value of the blessings you are given. In the old days people used to value every little thing and respect it. They would bring it to its proper place. If one found a piece of bread
