I.INTRODUCTION
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulilah after the successful publishing and distribution of the first book of lectures' of Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani, we are highly honored to be allowed to work on this next book which includes some of the lectures of the year 2014, which were missed in the previous book and most of his public lectures of the year 2015.
Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani is the head of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi way and the elder son and successor of Maulana Shaykh Nazim Aadil Al Haqqani in this path.
His words are words of wisdom and light for all of us on this path.
Please feel free to forward this book to as many people as you wish, in its full form (without changing anything) as it does not have any copyright on it. We intend to keep these books free of cost always. May Allah SWT make it easy. Aameen.
Alhamdulilah with the blessings of our Murshid, Dr. Alwi of Johar Baru, Malaysia has begun working on translating both the books (2014 & 2015) to Bahasa language. We wish him success and in shaa Allah soon these books will be available in Bahasa as well.
It’s my humble advice that please share this book, free of cost with as many people as you would like to and if you would like to translate it to another language, please seek Maulana Shaykh Muhammad’s permission. Please do not translate the same without his permission. If you are unable to reach him directly, you may write to me and in sha Allah I shall seek permission for you.
Al-Fatiha.
II.PREFACE
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Allahumma Salliala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alaa Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim
As salaamwalekum wa Rehmatullahi taala wa Barakaatu
Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS. Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Mehmet QS.
We are living in the times of fitna, shamelessness and hatered. It’s like living in haraam times. The Prophet Muhammad Sall Allāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam said: "There will come a time when holding on to your Iman (belief) will be like holding on to hot coals". (Tirmizi Shareef)
The Prophet Muhammad Sall Allāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam said: "a time will come when the killer will not know why he killed and the person who was killed will not know why he was killed. So a person is going out and killing and he doesn’t know why he is killing and the person who was killed doesn’t know why he lost his life." (Muslim Shareef)
In these times speaking lies or use of disrespectful language is considered fashion and high society style. The patience level of people has gone down to probably the lowest ever. There is a new version of islam mushroomed, called modern islam. This is full of short cuts and shorter versions of the Islamic practices.
On the other hand, many people within tariqa are creating damage by going against the teachings of the Shaykh. Today we see many who are misguiding people on the name of tariqa and pretending to be spiritually high and giving themselves titles. At every level of their knowledge they feel they know more than others in the tariqa and are the best. People have become like balloons, full of their ego and this balloon gets larger and larger every day. Many who receive responsibilities begin to consider themselves above everyone else and forget that they are appointed to serve the murids of the Shaykh. Instead they themselves start considering themselves as shaykhs and
begin to use the murids of the Murshid. They also start to look down upon the Shaykhs of other tariqas, which is totally against our tariqa.
In midst of all this chaos, we see that there are some who are serious ones and dedicated ones. Ones who are really striving to be on tariqa, searching for the light, some are even following the tariqa in the right way and are trying to attain qalbun saleem. They are not worried about titles or glamour. They are the ones who seek servanthood. This is what Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS wanted his murids to be. To be Abd-Allah and not abdul-hawa, abdun-nafs or abdul-shaitaan. This is what he has mentioned in one of his lectures in the early 90s.
Countless times Alhamdulillah that Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS has put us under the spiritual guidance of Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS, who is the most perfect one in our times. In midst of all these issues all over the world, He finds time to teach us through his lectures, his travels and his practical way. Alhamdulillah his lectures reach us through various mediums today, like the official websites and social media as well.
Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS spends so much time speaking on topics which are our needs and these lectures / teachings are sent to us. Our way is - Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya (the way of lectures & the khair is in being together). Many of us ignore them. Some, who can watch the videos, watch them. Whereas others, read the same over the internet or on their smart phones. This book is also a humble effort to let his words be compiled and send out all over the world. It is easy for some people to read these compiled lectures on their smart phones and for ones who feel it’s difficult to read can use the voice command on their phone and listen to the same. My Humbly advise, please read at least one lecture per day.
Honestly, the one who is a true seeker will find a way to learn. Like it is said, “when the student is ready the teacher appears.” The rewards are limitless, this I can promise you! Wa minallahi tawfeeq Al faatiha
(Khaadim Ashraf Ali Ghansar Naqshbandi)
III.FOREWORD
Bismilla Hirrahmaa Nirraheem
Allahu Akbar - Allahu Akbar – Laa ilaaha illallaahu Allahu Akbar - Allahu Akbar – Wa Lillaahil Hamd. Allahumma Salli Ala Sayyidina Muhammedin Waala Aali Muhammedin Adada Maafi ilmillaaahi Salaatan Wa Salaaman Daaimatam bi Dawaami Mulkillaah. Alhamdulillah Was Shukrulillah infinite times, that Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala has blessed this Universe by his Greatest Mercy “Rehmatullil Aalameen – Hazrat Sayyidina Muhammedur Rasool Allah Sallallaahu Aleihi Wa Sallam” and also for Honoring us by making us from the Ummah of His Beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu Aleihi Wa Salaam. The Second Greatest Favor of Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala for us is that He has given us Sultanul Awliya Hazrat Moulana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil Al Haqqani Al Rabbani Al Qubrusi Qaddas Allahu Sirruhul Azeez for our Guidance who had been ruling over our Hearts for years.
It is said that“ In every Era, Allah appoints One Perfect Soul who is the Khalifatullah and Representative of Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala and The Beloved Prophet Sallallaahu Aleihi Wa Sallam, who is Authorized to guide His creation ”.
Alhamdulillah in this Era, it is The Saaya-a-Ahmed-a-Mujtabaa, Saahib-uz-Zohad wa Taqwa, Shabeeh-a-Shaahe Mardaan, Qutub-uz- Zamaan, Baab-ul-Ahsaan, Aal-a-Hasnain, Najeeb-ut-Tarafayn, Shaykhul Islam, Murshid-a-Kaamil, Peer Dastagheer Roshan Zameer, Markaz-a-Faiz-a-Daghestani Wa Haqqani Sayyidi Wa Murshidi Wa Moulaee Hazrat Moulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil ar-Rabbani Sultan-Ibnul-Sultan Madda Zilluhul Aaliya who is Authorized and Responsible for the guidance of His creation. [Also known as Moulana Sheikh Mehmet Adil Al Rabbani] He is the 41st Shaykh/Peer-o- Murshid in the Naqshbandi Golden Chain after Sultanul Awliya
Hazrat Moulana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil Al Haqqani Al Rabbani Al Qubrusi Qaddas Allahu Sirruhul Azeez. Moulana Sheikh Mehmet Adil Hafizahullah has been enlightening our hearts and souls with the Divine Knowledge and instructions he has been receiving from the Divine Presence.
It’s an established fact, that travelling for the sake of Allah to visit the Friends of Allah is a sign of Awliya-as-Sawliheen. He [Moulana Sheikh Mehmet] has been travelling to the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Egypt, UAE, India and many other places to spread the the Message of Divine Truth and Love to people.
Alhamdulillah was Shoran Lila a million times that Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala has Blessed and Honored Me to travel and stay with Him for some time and I have observed that there is NOT a Single Amal [Act] of Sheikh Mehmet Adil Al Rabbani hafizahullah, which is against the Shariah or the Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet Sallallaahu Aliehi Wa Sallam.
He will always ensure that he prays the Namaz/Salaah in its time with all the Sunnat and Nafil Namaz along with the Awraad as prescribed in the Naqshbandi Book of Awraads for the Salaah/Namaz. Also I have noticed and marked that He follows the Sunnah Strictly at the time of having Food, while Sleeping, in dealing with People, avoiding useless talks, and so many things to mention.
I have never seen him directly looking into the eyes of women/ladies while to talking to them. He has got that Hayaa in him which is from Strong Emaan. [Hadees: Al Hayaoo Minal Emaan] Alhamdulillah Was Shukrulillah a Million times that Moulana Sheikh Nazim Qaddas Allahu Sirruhul Azeez has kept us under the Guidance of a Perfect Guide who gives daily Sohbets [ Lectures/Bayaans] in Turkish & English languages in the Morning after Fajr, who gives Dars[lessons] of the Hadees on daily basis, who runs a free Madrasa for Students of Sunni -Sufi Islamic Way which is Actual Islam, Practiced by the
Companions of the Prophet S.A.W. and the Awliya-as- Sawliheen. [Not to forget to mention here that all the Expenses of the Highly Qualified Islamic Scholar/Teacher and the Students including their Food, Accommodation, Transportation and Books, is taken care by Moulana Sheikh Mehmet Adil by Himself] Such an Amazing Person / Kamil Murshid who receives the Irshad[instructions] from the Divine presence, gives his Daily Sohbets on Wisdom, Ego/Nafs, Quran, Hadees, Sunnah, Humbleness, Purity in Emaan, Etiquettes of a Simple Living, Day to Day life requirements for a wayfarer as well as for a common man. Like his father, he has in his blood, by default to give very easy solutions to very complicate problems. His discourses are in such a simple way that any common man can understand them easily. His every discourse is a solution for you somehow or the other. Every Discourse of His will have a message for you. You will feel as if it is being addressed to you. It will be as if you are the one who needs this sohbet as a Console or Solace for you. Alhamdulillah we are very proud to be his followers and be under his guidance. May Allah always keep us under his guidance till our last breaths.
May Allah give Him the Best of Health and Long live so that through Him people will be guided towards the Divine Presence. Aameen.

1.DIRECT YOUR CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THEIR ABILITIES Wednesday, 3 September 2014
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
We read a beautiful Hadith Sharif, “Kullun muyassar lima khuliqa lahu.” Each and every Hadith Sharif is beautiful. I am explaining the summary of the Sharif. Allah created people. What Communists say is not true. Allah gave everybody a duty. Whatever the duty of a human being might be, accordingly Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri provided an ease. There is an ease in the work everybody is to do. When studying at school, a group of children are conditioned and separated as, “Fit for a lawyer, fit for a physician, fit for an engineer...” But when Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri created millions of humans, He has provided an ease in direction for however each one will become. If a person understands this subject, one can incline towards handiwork and hand skills. A human being is comfortable if he does not say, “Let me do this and let me do that,” is satisfied with where Allah has directed one and heads that way. If he hangs on to that job and does his job well, he will have gained the consent of Allah and the respect of people. Most people say, “I will do this work and make a lot of money,” and are not satisfied with their condition. Allah gave you a mind. Your mind does not understand that side, it understands this side. You do the work you know. Do not get into work you do not know. You cannot accomplish it when you insist on doing it. You are both causing a loss and being disgraced. Allah Azza wa Jalla makes the orange tree grow where it does not frost and it is hot. You cannot make that tree grow in cold areas, where it is -20 and -30 degrees [centigrade]. You can grow an orange tree in a cold place with nylon (plastic) , protecting it like a greenhouse. That is possible. But the one you grow there will cause much torment just so it can give three to five fruits. Whereas in its own
place, it will give ten folds or twenty folds more fruit without causing torment. It does not make sense to suffer torment when there is an easier way. If you are going to keep it for looks, that is different. If you do this work to make money, it does not make sense. You can grow apples and pears in cold regions. Apricot will do and cherries will do. They brought cherries to Cyprus. It leafed out for a year and dried out the second year. Cherries require cold places. We are giving this event as an example that everything has its place. Everything is not for everybody at the same time. Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri directed animals, insects, and even trees while giving them a duty according to themselves.
A person should direct himself and his children to what they are inclined to and what they are capable of. Do not be sad if your children do not go to university. There is no need to be sad in a world that is a few days long anyway. It is important to gain the consent of Allah. It is enough for us to pay attention to this. Sharifs and Sohbas are to comfort people and give inner peace. The hereafter is what is important in this few days long world. You will be comfortable if you think about the hereafter and ask for the hereafter. There is no need for anything else either. The world is a place that is a few days long. Go where Allah has directed you. Do not forget Allah. This is what is important.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq Al-Fatiha
2.A PROPHET WAS SENT TO EVERY NATION Wednesday, September 17, 2014
The Holy Koran says, “A prophet was sent to every nation.” To you too was sent the Ural Prophet. Allah sent him long ago and did not make people forget him. His blessings reached here and all the Turkish People. It is very important to visit this maqam. These are Allah’s prophets. It is very virtuous and rewarding to visit a normal person or awliya, meaning visiting their graves. This visit is even more rewarding and virtuous. Allah sent 124,000 prophets. He sent books to 313 prophets. At the end, the Koran came to our Holy Prophet. Every prophet that came, wanted to be a part of our Holy Prophet’s Nation. Our Holy Prophet is the most beneficial, the most virtuous, and the last prophet. Allah brought down books to 313 prophets who are called Naby Mursal. In the past, a couple of prophets could be sent at the same time. The rest of the prophets would follow whomever had the message, whomever Allah sent the book. They would follow him, attesting to his sayings and orders, and deliver it to the people. There was a prophet with two companions. Two people believed in a great prophet. Prophets are those in the highest station amongst people. They are in the highest stations. They are sinless and innocent. Allah does not make them sin at all. The most beautiful nature and disposition are given to them. Even so, they are the ones that suffer the most torment. A lot of prophets were sent to the Bani Israil. The most prophets were sent to them. There were times when they killed a thousand prophets at the same time. Meaning prophets suffered a lot. Allah knows where most are and where most remained. However, this holy one’s place is evident here. He was both sent and he saw respect around here. People believed in him. As their grandchildren, may his blessings also reach you Inshallah. What joy! You will be together in Paradise too Inshallah. You came all the way here to visit a prophet of Allah. Whatever wishes you may have, may good be realized for the wishers Inshallah. Baraka came as well. (Starts raining)

Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyid al-Awaleen wal Akhareen. Dastur Ya Mashayikhina: Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Hakkani. Dastur. Tariqatunas Sohba wal Khayru fil Jamiyya.
Our Tariqa stands with association (sohba), and benefit is with congregation. Thank Allah we are granted to travel everywhere so many times. This is due to Sheykh Efendi’s consent with the mission he assigned. It is for the brothers (ikhwan) who cannot come from Africa. We go there so they can see us. We go next to them so they do not say, “We wanted him to come but he did not.” So it is becoming possible. Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri travelled non-stop until he was 80 years-old. It was more beautiful when Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri went there. Thank Allah that, with the blessings (Baraka) of Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri, because we are going with his permission, they are all happy [when they see us]. They feel Sheykh Efendi’s help (himma) on themselves. Last we went to Africa’s southern most region, they call it South Africa. Mahallah the ikhwan there did good works with Sheykh Efendi’s instructions.
It was October when we went, exactly 14 years ago. It was night time. Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri went there one time. They call it Capetown. Those places are sacred. There are many saints (awliya) there. Europeans: English and Dutch, sent the saints there to exile. It is the other end of the world. A person is unable to come back from there. We went somewhere. It dated from long ago. They say people came here from Ceylon or Indonesia 300 years ago, or in the 1700s. But it is not entirely clear. They brought these people from there. They brought Sheikh Yusuf Hazretleri along with 49 of his disciples (mureeds) and placed them there. That holy one built the first mosque. They were so enthusiastic that they struggled in the way of Allah and fought for the sake of Allah in the Islamic world. We only know Muslims where we are. Yet unbelief (kufr) exists in every part of the world. They struggled (made jihad) everywhere always for the sake of Truth (Haq), for the sake of Allah. We went to Tataristan and Bashkurdistan a couple of months ago. In the same way, all the way north, all the way south, all the way east, they struggled against unbelief over there. The English
built something like a monument for those sacred ones. When we say monument, they placed an old cannon that projected cannonballs. And under it they wrote this sacred one’s name, hero. Hero means brave. He fought against them, and they tricked and captured this sacred one. Along with himself, they captured his mureeds and sent them there.
There is goodness in everything. This means that it was for the benefit of Islam for that person to go there. It was beneficial for Muslims there as well. He was of a Tariqa. He is from the Khalwati Tariqa. I was also surprised: did the Khalwati Tariqa exist over there? So there was continuous communication with that place during Ottoman times. The Ottomans were reaching everywhere. They were not saying, “Leave them be,” but helping them for sure when something happened to them. The Ottomans were both educating the nation in religion and helping much in war aid. These sacred ones went there, and built mosques and tombs (maqams). There are more places further down. There are maqams everywhere, stating the names of the awliya. You see that they descended upon villages and brought those people as slaves during those times. Those people were brought and sold as workers and slaves. This tyranny injustice lasted for 300 years. Regardless, look at the wisdom (hikma) of Allah: none of the people they brought as slaves changed their religion in the face of tyranny, and they all stayed Muslim. There are awliya over there, in these towns. There are guides (murshids), there are madrasas, and there are mashayikh (sheykhs). They do not reject the awliya like now. They do not reject the Prophet. They protected their children’s religion with their supplications (duas). Because they were mujahids. They struggled in the way of Allah. Their duas were accepted. They prayed, “We went through much difficulty. Inshallah our lineage will stay Muslim until Judgment Day.” And their duas were really accepted. When Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri was there, he guided them with the power of awliya exactly 14 years ago. He said, “Make these local people, the black people, Muslim. Help them reach guidance.” He said these words 14 years ago. They said, “Yes, yes,” and the days passed. They remembered these words 3-4 years ago. They decided to follow his order. So they remembered it at that time. They did not do much for 11 years. Yet now, they have started to do things. The blacks live in tinplate homes. Lots of poverty. Dirt, disease and every kind of evil exists there too. Mashallah they started this work for service (khidma). Mashallah. Almost 20,000 blacks have become Muslim only in this province (there are 5-6 regions) in the past three years. We were afraid to go to these areas in the past. We went there now. Mashallah. They built a mosque and have a black Imam, glowing, he has light in his face.
There are students 10-15 years old. We prayed the noon prayer (Dhuhr) together in that area. They recited beautiful qasidas. They showed us a boy, he had just become Muslim and his grandmother had brought him. His grandmother is Christian. She is very happy that her grandchild has become Muslim. There is such beauty in Islam. The others both made men slaves and changed their religion. Their love is empty talk. There is no sign of humanity. The works they do are just baloney. There is no mercy in any religion other than being Muslim. Because all [other] religions have been altered fraudulently. They have distorted them according to their own heads. There is no true religion other than Islam. This is why in the world, there is being Muslim and religions that are against it. There is no third religion. What do they call it? Antagonist to religion. Their religious and non-religious are the same. A Muslim brings cleanliness to where he is, he brings beauty and he brings abundance (Baraka). There is no Baraka when there is no Muslim and when there is oppression. The place these people inhabit is the richest land in the world. But poverty is widespread and misery is widespread. Men are in poverty in the middle of riches. Why? There is no Baraka. They are stealing and taking away. Yet there is no Baraka where they are taking it either. No matter how poor a Muslim country might be, there are no people dying of starvation. There were famines in Europe in the past. They cannot understand the reason (sirr) behind this. This secret does not exist in any other religion. Baraka is in being Muslim. Ask for Baraka.
We went to Duabi on the way back. It is the world’s richest country. Over there as well, it is Allah’s hikma, Allah is showing us again. Buildings are very tall and you cannot see their end. There was someone who was saying, “I cannot make ends meet. I have to make $10,000 a month to make ends meet.” Then I see people who work there: Indian, Pakistani, and Asian people in construction, working here and there. Their monthly salary is $300. The man takes care of all his family. There are at least a million foreign workers there. If the daily wage for each is $10, it makes $300 a month and he manages to make ends meet with a family. There is Baraka in being content too. The men are making $300, Mashallah everything is in place and they can make ends meet with Baraka. This is a matter of being content and a matter of consent. A human’s ego (nafs) does not get satisfied. It is enough if you show content. We see a lot that when a rich man is to give something little, his hand shakes. The poor man, the man who has nothing, he gives tenfold that and does not blink an eye. And that is a matter of faith (iman). The man who thinks it will finish when giving cannot give. He cannot give even if the whole world were his. We had told you
the story of the Priest earlier. Let us tell it again. There was a priest at the time of Jesus (Isa) aleyhis selam. Isa (a.s.) sees that this man is living in a cave and asks, “What are you doing?” He answers, “Allah gives me two pomegranates a day so I can manage with them. Isa (a.s.) enters the man’s cave and [finds] it is full of pomegranates. Rotting pomegranates. He asks, “What have you done here?” The Priest answers, “I eat one and save the other.” When asked, “Well, what do you save it for?” the Priest answered, “What if it does not come the second day.” Allah is already giving you two. He provides from nothing. So there is no faith. This is what we mean with the matter of iman. That is why this man is not an accepted one. Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri is showing Isa (a.s.) that this man is of no benefit. It means that he has no iman. Two pomegranates come from nowhere, that man follows his nafs, gets scared, shows stinginess, does not eat and places it there. Nothing would happen even if he shares with someone, but he saves for himself. People think, “Let me gather, let me gather, what if it does not come later.” You gathered so much. What you gathered is enough for you even for 500 years. Nothing will happen if you give. May Allah not make us follow our evil nafs. Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri’s advise is: give! He says this money is paper after all, do not look after it. When he saw paper money, he used to say, “This is rubbish, give, give. When it comes give.” This is how trade is. Real trade is the trade of the hereafter (akhira). The number of morsels we are to eat in the world is known. One cannot eat the share of ten. Even the most gutsy amongst us can only eat that of three people. Eating is not an expensive thing either. What is expensive is the forbidden (haram). There is no harm if the person eats lawful (halal) morsels. The halal morsel is very important. Continue to take halal morsels to your family, your children. There is Baraka in halal morsels. There is protection on the children. Halal morsels are important for you to protect from all evil. With the permission of Allah, nobody can do anything [harm] after eating halal morsels. These people have worked here and there under oppression for 300 years. None of the children, Mashallah, have any complaints. They are all observing their prayers (namaz) and supplications (niyaz). They went to Umra and Hajj. There are many mosques. They are building the mosques in black areas. They have good deeds (hasanat). They are a great model, an example, for us. The halal morsel is a very important subject. May Allah not feed us haram. (Amin) May He keep as away from haram. (Amin) May He correct those who eat haram Inshallah. There is unease everywhere in the world. This is happening because it is the End of Times (Akhir Zaman). Doomsday (Qiyama) would not occur if it were not so after all. For Qiyama to occur, Mahdi (a.s.) has to come. Inshallah he will come
and remove this disorder. He will fill the surrounding with justice and tranquility Inshallah. May it happen soon Inshallah. May we see the beautiful days of those times all together Inshallah. May Allah protect us all and make us the object of His favors.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
4.USE THE TONGUE FOR GOOD Saturday, 22 November 2014
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah gave mankind the tongue so we can speak. The tongue is an important thing. Use it for good. They say “The sweet tongue brings a snake out of its burrow.” The fine person has fine manners, a fine tongue, and gets along well with people. The other way, all problems come from the tongue says our Holy Prophet. What takes to Hell is also the tongue. The word is inside of you and you can hold it. It is free when it gets out of the tongue, out of the mouth. You cannot hold it once it leaves. That is why you should calculate before speaking. Talking without calculating not only leads to upsetting people, sometimes it takes people to unbelief. You need to always order the good, that is when it is fine. The tongue and word can be a means to useful and good works. The tongue can also bring lots of trouble to humankind. These troubles range from the small to the large. Many wars erupted because people did not act properly in the past. Whereas, many things could have been solved through talking and reaching an agreement. They could not control their own egos and destroyed themselves and so many people were wasted for nothing. These fine words are the words of our Holy Prophet, they are his Sharifs. They are the loftiest words mankind has uttered after the Koran. The Koran is the word of Allah anyway. Let us obey him. Let us go in the beautiful way he has shown Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
5.MAY IT BE A CONQUEST Sunday, November 23, 2014
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyid al-Awaleen wal Akhareen. Tariqatunas Sohba wal Khayru fil Jamiyya.
“Inna Fatahna laqa fathan mobina” A beautiful verse for the opening. May we have a beautiful conquest, may it be a beautiful opening inshallah. “ummati rijal taqalan jibalu sah” Man’s effort can move the mountains aside. Effort, diligence. Allah azza wa jalla did not create us for sleeping and waking up. He created us for service. We all shall serve as much as we can inshallah. On the way of Allah, on the way of Islam we shall crush our ego and serve. While we are serving we should first serve our children who are the closest to us. Whatever rights our children have, we shall maintain them inshallah. Our Prophet (s.w.s) also started giving advices first to the close family. Show the way of Allah, order the good, forbid the bad. Shukr to Allah that our followers, our brothers are broadcasting on the internet, as a new service. We have not so much concern on that subject. Internet is today satans device. It has too much mischief at these times. Our brothers are trying to turn this mischief to goodness. Inshallah may many people be guided to the truth by means of their service. We are trying to go to many places. But we can’t come together with all of our followers. Every day, people are like together with us through this service . This is also beautiful. If some misdeed occurs, it is a nice trait to turn it to goodness. Like Men are removing mountains, we shall remove misdeeds and instead goodness should come inshallah. Sheikh effendi’s sohbat’s will also be broadcasted. Mashallah whenever we listen to Honorary Sheikh effendi’s sohbat’s we become enlightened. One becomes like sitting with him in his sohbat. People were reading books before but nowadays they don’t read so much. As the people can see Sheikh effendi and the places he went, following his speeches and listening to his sohbats, it is beneficial for everyone inshallah. We have some complaints that our followers are not giving back the borrowed original copies of sohbats. They are taking them and after losing them and they are not giving them back when they are told to. That for don’t give anybody the originals. Keep the originals and if they ask for them, give them a copy. This recordings are valuable. There are friends who ran after Sheikh effendi for years with Camcorders and tape recorders. They are precious memories for them. That for, don’t give the originals to someone else and get sad afterwards. You may make a copy of each of them and give that one.
When somebody does this, so that others also may benefit from it, he also gains enough more good deeds for this. It is not good to keep it for himself and hide it. Because our holy Prophet (s.w.s.) says “if a scholar has knowledge and he hides it from the people, then this scholar will be a sinner” That has responsibility. And of course if somebody is not a scholar but he has something with him, he should share this with others that they may benefit from it. Also good deeds are written on him for that. This way is a beautiful and beneficial way.
It is beneficial for the endless life. Don’t give away your hereafter for this cheap world. We went to the United States years before. Sheikh effendi said “this is totally satans place” for the states. Really it is satans place. They took us to Walt Disney studios. As Sheikh effendi had been there and saw this place we also went there to see it. The entry fee was very expensive. As we already arrived, we said let’s wait. There was a short line and we thought it would take fifteen to twenty minutes. And then it turned to another corner, ok let’s wait some more. And after another and then we arrived to another corner and it took two hours to enter the place. And how long was the show? It was like not even one minute. We waited for two hours. We went to another place and in six hours we had a program for three minutes. That’s the Jewish and satans show. They make so much difficulty for the people and after they give nothing. You will just be a fool for nothing. It was beneficial that we have been there. Because we saw how tricky they are. This world is not worthy that you suffer for it. It is a wisdom of Allah, one should see everything, learn everything. People are even taking the risk to die for going to Europe. Many of them die on the way. The others who can’t go are dying of the craving. America is a state of heaven, there is no such thing. If somebody would stay in place he would be more comfortable. May Allah protect the people from being misleaded. When the people are misleaded, they do not know what to do. There are thousands of stories like this one. While somebody is in peace and comfort in his place, he leaves this place and works with so much effort for years, spends all of his belongings for that. Finally even if he goes there, he lives a poor life. May Allah grant us all a good mind and understanding inshallah. May Allah protect the people from being misleaded. The mind is important. Who is a mindful human? A mindful human is not someone who has graduated from university, has a diploma, is a doctor or professor. A mindful human is someone who knows Allah, who believes in Allah. That one is clever. The world, this and that, that’s all lies. All is like a dream. There are some dreams. Dreams you had before. You are thinking of them that they may have
happened or they maybe just dreams. Life is also like that. The important part is to know Allah, to recognize Allah, to type Allah for reaching the real life. Don’t be objected in the hereafter like people are objected in this world. May Allah be pleased with all of you. Inshallah as we said, may this service be helpful for the people. We shall make a dua.
May the services of these establishments and foundations get more. A foundation is important. Foundations come from older times. When we say foundation it is, when you donate five meters and the other donates five meters, the foundation extends. Our foundations began like that and they extended like that. However people think as if the donations made for the foundations are something for free. But their ego is saying that. Foundation property is given for the sake of Allah, for serving the people. Inshallah everybody does how much they can. The charities and goodnesses will be written on you forever till judgment day.
Al Fatiha
6.HADITH LESSONS Tuesday, November 25, 2014
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Assalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Sayyidul Awwalin Walakhirin Madad Ya Rasulullah, Madad Ya Ashab-e Rasulullah Madad Ya Mashayikihina. Dastur.
Qala Rasulullah (s.a.w.), our Holy Prophet states in a Sharif: “For a person to stand guard in row for an hour to raise the word of Allah (Ilai Kalimatullah) for the sake of Allah, is better than the prayer of 60 years.” Meaning to defend Muslims in the way of Allah and to raise the word of Allah. The soldier is considered the same. Kids that go to military service for the sake of Allah should make their intention like that. Let them say, “We are going to military service for Ilai Kalimatullah.” Each hour is better than accepted non-stop praying for 60 years. “The most beneficial and virtuous things are the difficult.” It is not easy fighting in the way of Allah. Worshipping is not easy either, but sometimes it is. Most people want to run away when they go there to fight. That is why to stand one’s ground firm, stand guard, and not turn back is favorable to 60 years for each hour.
Our Holy Prophet is saying, “I met Ibrahim (a.s.) on the night of Isra (Miraj).” Our Holy Prophet met with all the prophets when he ascended to the heavens. “(Hazret) Ibrahim said to me, ‘O Muhammad (s.a.w.)! Send my salams to your nation. Inform them of this: the soil of Paradise is beautiful, its water is sweet, and it is a flat place.

I.INTRODUCTION
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulilah after the successful publishing and distribution of the first book of lectures' of Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani, we are highly honored to be allowed to work on this next book which includes some of the lectures of the year 2014, which were missed in the previous book and most of his public lectures of the year 2015.
Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani is the head of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi way and the elder son and successor of Maulana Shaykh Nazim Aadil Al Haqqani in this path.
His words are words of wisdom and light for all of us on this path.
Please feel free to forward this book to as many people as you wish, in its full form (without changing anything) as it does not have any copyright on it. We intend to keep these books free of cost always. May Allah SWT make it easy. Aameen.
Alhamdulilah with the blessings of our Murshid, Dr. Alwi of Johar Baru, Malaysia has begun working on translating both the books (2014 & 2015) to Bahasa language. We wish him success and in shaa Allah soon these books will be available in Bahasa as well.
It’s my humble advice that please share this book, free of cost with as many people as you would like to and if you would like to translate it to another language, please seek Maulana Shaykh Muhammad’s permission. Please do not translate the same without his permission. If you are unable to reach him directly, you may write to me and in sha Allah I shall seek permission for you.
Al-Fatiha.
II.PREFACE
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Allahumma Salliala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alaa Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim
As salaamwalekum wa Rehmatullahi taala wa Barakaatu
Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS. Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Mehmet QS.
We are living in the times of fitna, shamelessness and hatered. It’s like living in haraam times. The Prophet Muhammad Sall Allāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam said: "There will come a time when holding on to your Iman (belief) will be like holding on to hot coals". (Tirmizi Shareef)
The Prophet Muhammad Sall Allāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam said: "a time will come when the killer will not know why he killed and the person who was killed will not know why he was killed. So a person is going out and killing and he doesn’t know why he is killing and the person who was killed doesn’t know why he lost his life." (Muslim Shareef)
In these times speaking lies or use of disrespectful language is considered fashion and high society style. The patience level of people has gone down to probably the lowest ever. There is a new version of islam mushroomed, called modern islam. This is full of short cuts and shorter versions of the Islamic practices.
On the other hand, many people within tariqa are creating damage by going against the teachings of the Shaykh. Today we see many who are misguiding people on the name of tariqa and pretending to be spiritually high and giving themselves titles. At every level of their knowledge they feel they know more than others in the tariqa and are the best. People have become like balloons, full of their ego and this balloon gets larger and larger every day. Many who receive responsibilities begin to consider themselves above everyone else and forget that they are appointed to serve the murids of the Shaykh. Instead they themselves start considering themselves as shaykhs and
begin to use the murids of the Murshid. They also start to look down upon the Shaykhs of other tariqas, which is totally against our tariqa.
In midst of all this chaos, we see that there are some who are serious ones and dedicated ones. Ones who are really striving to be on tariqa, searching for the light, some are even following the tariqa in the right way and are trying to attain qalbun saleem. They are not worried about titles or glamour. They are the ones who seek servanthood. This is what Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS wanted his murids to be. To be Abd-Allah and not abdul-hawa, abdun-nafs or abdul-shaitaan. This is what he has mentioned in one of his lectures in the early 90s.
Countless times Alhamdulillah that Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS has put us under the spiritual guidance of Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS, who is the most perfect one in our times. In midst of all these issues all over the world, He finds time to teach us through his lectures, his travels and his practical way. Alhamdulillah his lectures reach us through various mediums today, like the official websites and social media as well.
Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS spends so much time speaking on topics which are our needs and these lectures / teachings are sent to us. Our way is - Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya (the way of lectures & the khair is in being together). Many of us ignore them. Some, who can watch the videos, watch them. Whereas others, read the same over the internet or on their smart phones. This book is also a humble effort to let his words be compiled and send out all over the world. It is easy for some people to read these compiled lectures on their smart phones and for ones who feel it’s difficult to read can use the voice command on their phone and listen to the same. My Humbly advise, please read at least one lecture per day.
Honestly, the one who is a true seeker will find a way to learn. Like it is said, “when the student is ready the teacher appears.” The rewards are limitless, this I can promise you! Wa minallahi tawfeeq Al faatiha

III.FOREWORD
Bismilla Hirrahmaa Nirraheem
Allahu Akbar - Allahu Akbar – Laa ilaaha illallaahu Allahu Akbar - Allahu Akbar – Wa Lillaahil Hamd. Allahumma Salli Ala Sayyidina Muhammedin Waala Aali Muhammedin Adada Maafi ilmillaaahi Salaatan Wa Salaaman Daaimatam bi Dawaami Mulkillaah. Alhamdulillah Was Shukrulillah infinite times, that Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala has blessed this Universe by his Greatest Mercy “Rehmatullil Aalameen – Hazrat Sayyidina Muhammedur Rasool Allah Sallallaahu Aleihi Wa Sallam” and also for Honoring us by making us from the Ummah of His Beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu Aleihi Wa Salaam. The Second Greatest Favor of Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala for us is that He has given us Sultanul Awliya Hazrat Moulana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil Al Haqqani Al Rabbani Al Qubrusi Qaddas Allahu Sirruhul Azeez for our Guidance who had been ruling over our Hearts for years.
It is said that“ In every Era, Allah appoints One Perfect Soul who is the Khalifatullah and Representative of Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala and The Beloved Prophet Sallallaahu Aleihi Wa Sallam, who is Authorized to guide His creation ”.
Alhamdulillah in this Era, it is The Saaya-a-Ahmed-a-Mujtabaa, Saahib-uz-Zohad wa Taqwa, Shabeeh-a-Shaahe Mardaan, Qutub-uz- Zamaan, Baab-ul-Ahsaan, Aal-a-Hasnain, Najeeb-ut-Tarafayn, Shaykhul Islam, Murshid-a-Kaamil, Peer Dastagheer Roshan Zameer, Markaz-a-Faiz-a-Daghestani Wa Haqqani Sayyidi Wa Murshidi Wa Moulaee Hazrat Moulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil ar-Rabbani Sultan-Ibnul-Sultan Madda Zilluhul Aaliya who is Authorized and Responsible for the guidance of His creation. [Also known as Moulana Sheikh Mehmet Adil Al Rabbani] He is the 41st Shaykh/Peer-o- Murshid in the Naqshbandi Golden Chain after Sultanul Awliya
Hazrat Moulana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil Al Haqqani Al Rabbani Al Qubrusi Qaddas Allahu Sirruhul Azeez. Moulana Sheikh Mehmet Adil Hafizahullah has been enlightening our hearts and souls with the Divine Knowledge and instructions he has been receiving from the Divine Presence.
It’s an established fact, that travelling for the sake of Allah to visit the Friends of Allah is a sign of Awliya-as-Sawliheen. He [Moulana Sheikh Mehmet] has been travelling to the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Egypt, UAE, India and many other places to spread the the Message of Divine Truth and Love to people.
Alhamdulillah was Shoran Lila a million times that Allah Subhaanahu Ta’ala has Blessed and Honored Me to travel and stay with Him for some time and I have observed that there is NOT a Single Amal [Act] of Sheikh Mehmet Adil Al Rabbani hafizahullah, which is against the Shariah or the Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet Sallallaahu Aliehi Wa Sallam.
He will always ensure that he prays the Namaz/Salaah in its time with all the Sunnat and Nafil Namaz along with the Awraad as prescribed in the Naqshbandi Book of Awraads for the Salaah/Namaz. Also I have noticed and marked that He follows the Sunnah Strictly at the time of having Food, while Sleeping, in dealing with People, avoiding useless talks, and so many things to mention.
I have never seen him directly looking into the eyes of women/ladies while to talking to them. He has got that Hayaa in him which is from Strong Emaan. [Hadees: Al Hayaoo Minal Emaan] Alhamdulillah Was Shukrulillah a Million times that Moulana Sheikh Nazim Qaddas Allahu Sirruhul Azeez has kept us under the Guidance of a Perfect Guide who gives daily Sohbets [ Lectures/Bayaans] in Turkish & English languages in the Morning after Fajr, who gives Dars[lessons] of the Hadees on daily basis, who runs a free Madrasa for Students of Sunni -Sufi Islamic Way which is Actual Islam, Practiced by the
Companions of the Prophet S.A.W. and the Awliya-as- Sawliheen. [Not to forget to mention here that all the Expenses of the Highly Qualified Islamic Scholar/Teacher and the Students including their Food, Accommodation, Transportation and Books, is taken care by Moulana Sheikh Mehmet Adil by Himself] Such an Amazing Person / Kamil Murshid who receives the Irshad[instructions] from the Divine presence, gives his Daily Sohbets on Wisdom, Ego/Nafs, Quran, Hadees, Sunnah, Humbleness, Purity in Emaan, Etiquettes of a Simple Living, Day to Day life requirements for a wayfarer as well as for a common man. Like his father, he has in his blood, by default to give very easy solutions to very complicate problems. His discourses are in such a simple way that any common man can understand them easily. His every discourse is a solution for you somehow or the other. Every Discourse of His will have a message for you. You will feel as if it is being addressed to you. It will be as if you are the one who needs this sohbet as a Console or Solace for you. Alhamdulillah we are very proud to be his followers and be under his guidance. May Allah always keep us under his guidance till our last breaths.
May Allah give Him the Best of Health and Long live so that through Him people will be guided towards the Divine Presence. Aameen.

1.DIRECT YOUR CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THEIR ABILITIES Wednesday, 3 September 2014
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
We read a beautiful Hadith Sharif, “Kullun muyassar lima khuliqa lahu.” Each and every Hadith Sharif is beautiful. I am explaining the summary of the Sharif. Allah created people. What Communists say is not true. Allah gave everybody a duty. Whatever the duty of a human being might be, accordingly Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri provided an ease. There is an ease in the work everybody is to do. When studying at school, a group of children are conditioned and separated as, “Fit for a lawyer, fit for a physician, fit for an engineer...” But when Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri created millions of humans, He has provided an ease in direction for however each one will become. If a person understands this subject, one can incline towards handiwork and hand skills. A human being is comfortable if he does not say, “Let me do this and let me do that,” is satisfied with where Allah has directed one and heads that way. If he hangs on to that job and does his job well, he will have gained the consent of Allah and the respect of people. Most people say, “I will do this work and make a lot of money,” and are not satisfied with their condition. Allah gave you a mind. Your mind does not understand that side, it understands this side. You do the work you know. Do not get into work you do not know. You cannot accomplish it when you insist on doing it. You are both causing a loss and being disgraced. Allah Azza wa Jalla makes the orange tree grow where it does not frost and it is hot. You cannot make that tree grow in cold areas, where it is -20 and -30 degrees [centigrade]. You can grow an orange tree in a cold place with nylon (plastic) , protecting it like a greenhouse. That is possible. But the one you grow there will cause much torment just so it can give three to five fruits. Whereas in its own
place, it will give ten folds or twenty folds more fruit without causing torment. It does not make sense to suffer torment when there is an easier way. If you are going to keep it for looks, that is different. If you do this work to make money, it does not make sense. You can grow apples and pears in cold regions. Apricot will do and cherries will do. They brought cherries to Cyprus. It leafed out for a year and dried out the second year. Cherries require cold places. We are giving this event as an example that everything has its place. Everything is not for everybody at the same time. Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri directed animals, insects, and even trees while giving them a duty according to themselves.
A person should direct himself and his children to what they are inclined to and what they are capable of. Do not be sad if your children do not go to university. There is no need to be sad in a world that is a few days long anyway. It is important to gain the consent of Allah. It is enough for us to pay attention to this. Sharifs and Sohbas are to comfort people and give inner peace. The hereafter is what is important in this few days long world. You will be comfortable if you think about the hereafter and ask for the hereafter. There is no need for anything else either. The world is a place that is a few days long. Go where Allah has directed you. Do not forget Allah. This is what is important.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq Al-Fatiha
2.A PROPHET WAS SENT TO EVERY NATION Wednesday, September 17, 2014
The Holy Koran says, “A prophet was sent to every nation.” To you too was sent the Ural Prophet. Allah sent him long ago and did not make people forget him. His blessings reached here and all the Turkish People. It is very important to visit this maqam. These are Allah’s prophets. It is very virtuous and rewarding to visit a normal person or awliya, meaning visiting their graves. This visit is even more rewarding and virtuous. Allah sent 124,000 prophets. He sent books to 313 prophets. At the end, the Koran came to our Holy Prophet. Every prophet that came, wanted to be a part of our Holy Prophet’s Nation. Our Holy Prophet is the most beneficial, the most virtuous, and the last prophet. Allah brought down books to 313 prophets who are called Naby Mursal. In the past, a couple of prophets could be sent at the same time. The rest of the prophets would follow whomever had the message, whomever Allah sent the book. They would follow him, attesting to his sayings and orders, and deliver it to the people. There was a prophet with two companions. Two people believed in a great prophet. Prophets are those in the highest station amongst people. They are in the highest stations. They are sinless and innocent. Allah does not make them sin at all. The most beautiful nature and disposition are given to them. Even so, they are the ones that suffer the most torment. A lot of prophets were sent to the Bani Israil. The most prophets were sent to them. There were times when they killed a thousand prophets at the same time. Meaning prophets suffered a lot. Allah knows where most are and where most remained. However, this holy one’s place is evident here. He was both sent and he saw respect around here. People believed in him. As their grandchildren, may his blessings also reach you Inshallah. What joy! You will be together in Paradise too Inshallah. You came all the way here to visit a prophet of Allah. Whatever wishes you may have, may good be realized for the wishers Inshallah. Baraka came as well. (Starts raining)

3.20,000 PEOPE HAVE BECOME MUSLIM IN AFRICA Wednesday, October 8, 2014
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyid al-Awaleen wal Akhareen. Dastur Ya Mashayikhina: Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Hakkani. Dastur. Tariqatunas Sohba wal Khayru fil Jamiyya.
Our Tariqa stands with association (sohba), and benefit is with congregation. Thank Allah we are granted to travel everywhere so many times. This is due to Sheykh Efendi’s consent with the mission he assigned. It is for the brothers (ikhwan) who cannot come from Africa. We go there so they can see us. We go next to them so they do not say, “We wanted him to come but he did not.” So it is becoming possible. Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri travelled non-stop until he was 80 years-old. It was more beautiful when Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri went there. Thank Allah that, with the blessings (Baraka) of Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri, because we are going with his permission, they are all happy [when they see us]. They feel Sheykh Efendi’s help (himma) on themselves. Last we went to Africa’s southern most region, they call it South Africa. Mahallah the ikhwan there did good works with Sheykh Efendi’s instructions.
It was October when we went, exactly 14 years ago. It was night time. Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri went there one time. They call it Capetown. Those places are sacred. There are many saints (awliya) there. Europeans: English and Dutch, sent the saints there to exile. It is the other end of the world. A person is unable to come back from there. We went somewhere. It dated from long ago. They say people came here from Ceylon or Indonesia 300 years ago, or in the 1700s. But it is not entirely clear. They brought these people from there. They brought Sheikh Yusuf Hazretleri along with 49 of his disciples (mureeds) and placed them there. That holy one built the first mosque. They were so enthusiastic that they struggled in the way of Allah and fought for the sake of Allah in the Islamic world. We only know Muslims where we are. Yet unbelief (kufr) exists in every part of the world. They struggled (made jihad) everywhere always for the sake of Truth (Haq), for the sake of Allah. We went to Tataristan and Bashkurdistan a couple of months ago. In the same way, all the way north, all the way south, all the way east, they struggled against unbelief over there. The English
built something like a monument for those sacred ones. When we say monument, they placed an old cannon that projected cannonballs. And under it they wrote this sacred one’s name, hero. Hero means brave. He fought against them, and they tricked and captured this sacred one. Along with himself, they captured his mureeds and sent them there.
There is goodness in everything. This means that it was for the benefit of Islam for that person to go there. It was beneficial for Muslims there as well. He was of a Tariqa. He is from the Khalwati Tariqa. I was also surprised: did the Khalwati Tariqa exist over there? So there was continuous communication with that place during Ottoman times. The Ottomans were reaching everywhere. They were not saying, “Leave them be,” but helping them for sure when something happened to them. The Ottomans were both educating the nation in religion and helping much in war aid. These sacred ones went there, and built mosques and tombs (maqams). There are more places further down. There are maqams everywhere, stating the names of the awliya. You see that they descended upon villages and brought those people as slaves during those times. Those people were brought and sold as workers and slaves. This tyranny injustice lasted for 300 years. Regardless, look at the wisdom (hikma) of Allah: none of the people they brought as slaves changed their religion in the face of tyranny, and they all stayed Muslim. There are awliya over there, in these towns. There are guides (murshids), there are madrasas, and there are mashayikh (sheykhs). They do not reject the awliya like now. They do not reject the Prophet. They protected their children’s religion with their supplications (duas). Because they were mujahids. They struggled in the way of Allah. Their duas were accepted. They prayed, “We went through much difficulty. Inshallah our lineage will stay Muslim until Judgment Day.” And their duas were really accepted. When Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri was there, he guided them with the power of awliya exactly 14 years ago. He said, “Make these local people, the black people, Muslim. Help them reach guidance.” He said these words 14 years ago. They said, “Yes, yes,” and the days passed. They remembered these words 3-4 years ago. They decided to follow his order. So they remembered it at that time. They did not do much for 11 years. Yet now, they have started to do things. The blacks live in tinplate homes. Lots of poverty. Dirt, disease and every kind of evil exists there too. Mashallah they started this work for service (khidma). Mashallah. Almost 20,000 blacks have become Muslim only in this province (there are 5-6 regions) in the past three years. We were afraid to go to these areas in the past. We went there now. Mashallah. They built a mosque and have a black Imam, glowing, he has light in his face.
There are students 10-15 years old. We prayed the noon prayer (Dhuhr) together in that area. They recited beautiful qasidas. They showed us a boy, he had just become Muslim and his grandmother had brought him. His grandmother is Christian. She is very happy that her grandchild has become Muslim. There is such beauty in Islam. The others both made men slaves and changed their religion. Their love is empty talk. There is no sign of humanity. The works they do are just baloney. There is no mercy in any religion other than being Muslim. Because all [other] religions have been altered fraudulently. They have distorted them according to their own heads. There is no true religion other than Islam. This is why in the world, there is being Muslim and religions that are against it. There is no third religion. What do they call it? Antagonist to religion. Their religious and non-religious are the same. A Muslim brings cleanliness to where he is, he brings beauty and he brings abundance (Baraka). There is no Baraka when there is no Muslim and when there is oppression. The place these people inhabit is the richest land in the world. But poverty is widespread and misery is widespread. Men are in poverty in the middle of riches. Why? There is no Baraka. They are stealing and taking away. Yet there is no Baraka where they are taking it either. No matter how poor a Muslim country might be, there are no people dying of starvation. There were famines in Europe in the past. They cannot understand the reason (sirr) behind this. This secret does not exist in any other religion. Baraka is in being Muslim. Ask for Baraka.
We went to Duabi on the way back. It is the world’s richest country. Over there as well, it is Allah’s hikma, Allah is showing us again. Buildings are very tall and you cannot see their end. There was someone who was saying, “I cannot make ends meet. I have to make $10,000 a month to make ends meet.” Then I see people who work there: Indian, Pakistani, and Asian people in construction, working here and there. Their monthly salary is $300. The man takes care of all his family. There are at least a million foreign workers there. If the daily wage for each is $10, it makes $300 a month and he manages to make ends meet with a family. There is Baraka in being content too. The men are making $300, Mashallah everything is in place and they can make ends meet with Baraka. This is a matter of being content and a matter of consent. A human’s ego (nafs) does not get satisfied. It is enough if you show content. We see a lot that when a rich man is to give something little, his hand shakes. The poor man, the man who has nothing, he gives tenfold that and does not blink an eye. And that is a matter of faith (iman). The man who thinks it will finish when giving cannot give. He cannot give even if the whole world were his. We had told you
the story of the Priest earlier. Let us tell it again. There was a priest at the time of Jesus (Isa) aleyhis selam. Isa (a.s.) sees that this man is living in a cave and asks, “What are you doing?” He answers, “Allah gives me two pomegranates a day so I can manage with them. Isa (a.s.) enters the man’s cave and [finds] it is full of pomegranates. Rotting pomegranates. He asks, “What have you done here?” The Priest answers, “I eat one and save the other.” When asked, “Well, what do you save it for?” the Priest answered, “What if it does not come the second day.” Allah is already giving you two. He provides from nothing. So there is no faith. This is what we mean with the matter of iman. That is why this man is not an accepted one. Allah Azza wa Jalla Hazretleri is showing Isa (a.s.) that this man is of no benefit. It means that he has no iman. Two pomegranates come from nowhere, that man follows his nafs, gets scared, shows stinginess, does not eat and places it there. Nothing would happen even if he shares with someone, but he saves for himself. People think, “Let me gather, let me gather, what if it does not come later.” You gathered so much. What you gathered is enough for you even for 500 years. Nothing will happen if you give. May Allah not make us follow our evil nafs. Sheykh Effendi Hazretleri’s advise is: give! He says this money is paper after all, do not look after it. When he saw paper money, he used to say, “This is rubbish, give, give. When it comes give.” This is how trade is. Real trade is the trade of the hereafter (akhira). The number of morsels we are to eat in the world is known. One cannot eat the share of ten. Even the most gutsy amongst us can only eat that of three people. Eating is not an expensive thing either. What is expensive is the forbidden (haram). There is no harm if the person eats lawful (halal) morsels. The halal morsel is very important. Continue to take halal morsels to your family, your children. There is Baraka in halal morsels. There is protection on the children. Halal morsels are important for you to protect from all evil. With the permission of Allah, nobody can do anything [harm] after eating halal morsels. These people have worked here and there under oppression for 300 years. None of the children, Mashallah, have any complaints. They are all observing their prayers (namaz) and supplications (niyaz). They went to Umra and Hajj. There are many mosques. They are building the mosques in black areas. They have good deeds (hasanat). They are a great model, an example, for us. The halal morsel is a very important subject. May Allah not feed us haram. (Amin) May He keep as away from haram. (Amin) May He correct those who eat haram Inshallah. There is unease everywhere in the world. This is happening because it is the End of Times (Akhir Zaman). Doomsday (Qiyama) would not occur if it were not so after all. For Qiyama to occur, Mahdi (a.s.) has to come. Inshallah he will come
and remove this disorder. He will fill the surrounding with justice and tranquility Inshallah. May it happen soon Inshallah. May we see the beautiful days of those times all together Inshallah. May Allah protect us all and make us the object of His favors.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
4.USE THE TONGUE FOR GOOD Saturday, 22 November 2014
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah gave mankind the tongue so we can speak. The tongue is an important thing. Use it for good. They say “The sweet tongue brings a snake out of its burrow.” The fine person has fine manners, a fine tongue, and gets along well with people. The other way, all problems come from the tongue says our Holy Prophet. What takes to Hell is also the tongue. The word is inside of you and you can hold it. It is free when it gets out of the tongue, out of the mouth. You cannot hold it once it leaves. That is why you should calculate before speaking. Talking without calculating not only leads to upsetting people, sometimes it takes people to unbelief. You need to always order the good, that is when it is fine. The tongue and word can be a means to useful and good works. The tongue can also bring lots of trouble to humankind. These troubles range from the small to the large. Many wars erupted because people did not act properly in the past. Whereas, many things could have been solved through talking and reaching an agreement. They could not control their own egos and destroyed themselves and so many people were wasted for nothing. These fine words are the words of our Holy Prophet, they are his Sharifs. They are the loftiest words mankind has uttered after the Koran. The Koran is the word of Allah anyway. Let us obey him. Let us go in the beautiful way he has shown Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
5.MAY IT BE A CONQUEST Sunday, November 23, 2014
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyid al-Awaleen wal Akhareen. Tariqatunas Sohba wal Khayru fil Jamiyya.
“Inna Fatahna laqa fathan mobina” A beautiful verse for the opening. May we have a beautiful conquest, may it be a beautiful opening inshallah. “ummati rijal taqalan jibalu sah” Man’s effort can move the mountains aside. Effort, diligence. Allah azza wa jalla did not create us for sleeping and waking up. He created us for service. We all shall serve as much as we can inshallah. On the way of Allah, on the way of Islam we shall crush our ego and serve. While we are serving we should first serve our children who are the closest to us. Whatever rights our children have, we shall maintain them inshallah. Our Prophet (s.w.s) also started giving advices first to the close family. Show the way of Allah, order the good, forbid the bad. Shukr to Allah that our followers, our brothers are broadcasting on the internet, as a new service. We have not so much concern on that subject. Internet is today satans device. It has too much mischief at these times. Our brothers are trying to turn this mischief to goodness. Inshallah may many people be guided to the truth by means of their service. We are trying to go to many places. But we can’t come together with all of our followers. Every day, people are like together with us through this service . This is also beautiful. If some misdeed occurs, it is a nice trait to turn it to goodness. Like Men are removing mountains, we shall remove misdeeds and instead goodness should come inshallah. Sheikh effendi’s sohbat’s will also be broadcasted. Mashallah whenever we listen to Honorary Sheikh effendi’s sohbat’s we become enlightened. One becomes like sitting with him in his sohbat. People were reading books before but nowadays they don’t read so much. As the people can see Sheikh effendi and the places he went, following his speeches and listening to his sohbats, it is beneficial for everyone inshallah. We have some complaints that our followers are not giving back the borrowed original copies of sohbats. They are taking them and after losing them and they are not giving them back when they are told to. That for don’t give anybody the originals. Keep the originals and if they ask for them, give them a copy. This recordings are valuable. There are friends who ran after Sheikh effendi for years with Camcorders and tape recorders. They are precious memories for them. That for, don’t give the originals to someone else and get sad afterwards. You may make a copy of each of them and give that one.
When somebody does this, so that others also may benefit from it, he also gains enough more good deeds for this. It is not good to keep it for himself and hide it. Because our holy Prophet (s.w.s.) says “if a scholar has knowledge and he hides it from the people, then this scholar will be a sinner” That has responsibility. And of course if somebody is not a scholar but he has something with him, he should share this with others that they may benefit from it. Also good deeds are written on him for that. This way is a beautiful and beneficial way.
It is beneficial for the endless life. Don’t give away your hereafter for this cheap world. We went to the United States years before. Sheikh effendi said “this is totally satans place” for the states. Really it is satans place. They took us to Walt Disney studios. As Sheikh effendi had been there and saw this place we also went there to see it. The entry fee was very expensive. As we already arrived, we said let’s wait. There was a short line and we thought it would take fifteen to twenty minutes. And then it turned to another corner, ok let’s wait some more. And after another and then we arrived to another corner and it took two hours to enter the place. And how long was the show? It was like not even one minute. We waited for two hours. We went to another place and in six hours we had a program for three minutes. That’s the Jewish and satans show. They make so much difficulty for the people and after they give nothing. You will just be a fool for nothing. It was beneficial that we have been there. Because we saw how tricky they are. This world is not worthy that you suffer for it. It is a wisdom of Allah, one should see everything, learn everything. People are even taking the risk to die for going to Europe. Many of them die on the way. The others who can’t go are dying of the craving. America is a state of heaven, there is no such thing. If somebody would stay in place he would be more comfortable. May Allah protect the people from being misleaded. When the people are misleaded, they do not know what to do. There are thousands of stories like this one. While somebody is in peace and comfort in his place, he leaves this place and works with so much effort for years, spends all of his belongings for that. Finally even if he goes there, he lives a poor life. May Allah grant us all a good mind and understanding inshallah. May Allah protect the people from being misleaded. The mind is important. Who is a mindful human? A mindful human is not someone who has graduated from university, has a diploma, is a doctor or professor. A mindful human is someone who knows Allah, who believes in Allah. That one is clever. The world, this and that, that’s all lies. All is like a dream. There are some dreams. Dreams you had before. You are thinking of them that they may have
happened or they maybe just dreams. Life is also like that. The important part is to know Allah, to recognize Allah, to type Allah for reaching the real life. Don’t be objected in the hereafter like people are objected in this world. May Allah be pleased with all of you. Inshallah as we said, may this service be helpful for the people. We shall make a dua.
May the services of these establishments and foundations get more. A foundation is important. Foundations come from older times. When we say foundation it is, when you donate five meters and the other donates five meters, the foundation extends. Our foundations began like that and they extended like that. However people think as if the donations made for the foundations are something for free. But their ego is saying that. Foundation property is given for the sake of Allah, for serving the people. Inshallah everybody does how much they can. The charities and goodnesses will be written on you forever till judgment day.
Al Fatiha
6.HADITH LESSONS Tuesday, November 25, 2014
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Assalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Sayyidul Awwalin Walakhirin Madad Ya Rasulullah, Madad Ya Ashab-e Rasulullah Madad Ya Mashayikihina. Dastur.
Qala Rasulullah (s.a.w.), our Holy Prophet states in a Sharif: “For a person to stand guard in row for an hour to raise the word of Allah (Ilai Kalimatullah) for the sake of Allah, is better than the prayer of 60 years.” Meaning to defend Muslims in the way of Allah and to raise the word of Allah. The soldier is considered the same. Kids that go to military service for the sake of Allah should make their intention like that. Let them say, “We are going to military service for Ilai Kalimatullah.” Each hour is better than accepted non-stop praying for 60 years. “The most beneficial and virtuous things are the difficult.” It is not easy fighting in the way of Allah. Worshipping is not easy either, but sometimes it is. Most people want to run away when they go there to fight. That is why to stand one’s ground firm, stand guard, and not turn back is favorable to 60 years for each hour.
Our Holy Prophet is saying, “I met Ibrahim (a.s.) on the night of Isra (Miraj).” Our Holy Prophet met with all the prophets when he ascended to the heavens. “(Hazret) Ibrahim said to me, ‘O Muhammad (s.a.w.)! Send my salams to your nation. Inform them of this: the soil of Paradise is beautiful, its water is sweet, and it is a flat place.
