Suhbah 2015: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (12/30)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5424
as we said, Allah, create people, everyone he has speciality for him. So not everyone can be in tariqat. Only chosen one. "dhalika l-faḍlu min Allah" (4:70) (That is the favour from Allah) Favour from Allah. To be Muslim,
of course, favour from Allah but to be also in tariqa it is more favour. Because iman when you taste it, you forget anything else. And tariqat taking you to this stage to taste the sweetness of iman. Everything after this not important for who is tasting. Because he knows everything from Allah he is happy with what Allah giving. He's happy, not asking Allah "Why me?" There's "Why me?" It is from, I think, Western culture. Western culture, it is built on ego. First, you must save yourself, after you save other one. But Islamic and spiritual culture, first you must help people also. You not be real believer until you love your brother, Muslim brother as you love yourself. And we say who tasting sweetness of iman, belief, he cannot be afraid from anything. This is teaching of whole prophets. Teaching of Prophet, it is culture of heavenly teaching. It is culture of heavenly teaching. Other what we said, Western culture - human being culture, taking from miserable and other people. And it is making only trouble and miserable for human being. We are seeing now the situation of world. It is the summary of this culture. Because everywhere no anymore spiritual culture, heavenly culture. No. All they, whole world by this last 100 years or 150 years, they were spreading all this culture, their culture. Even in Muslim countries it's more than here this culture. But heavenly culture, all Prophets were teaching to taste sweetness of belief. Once Sayyidina Isa, alaihi s-salam, he was all time travelling and going around. And old time there was people who left everything, some of them living in cave, some of them living in huts, some of them in small place or just praying and worshipping Allah. Once he went to some place. He saw fountain water coming, clean water. And near this the land, and there was one man worshipping there. He was drinking and cleaning himself by water and planting something to eat. He asked him, Sayyidina Isa, "How many years you are here?" He said "I am since 70 years. I am worshipping Allah. And I am eating and drinking here from this." It was very nice place. He said "But I am asking something I couldn't take it from Allah". Isa alaihi salam, he said "What it is?" He said "You are Prophet. You can by special to ask Allah to give me one atom from iman. 70 years I couldn't take this. You are Prophet and I am happy you are here. I believe to you and I am asking for you to make this for me." Sayyidina Isa, he asked Allah. After many times, maybe 1 year or 2 years he was coming again same place. He saw everything dry, nothing there. He didn't see this man. He
said to Allah, "I ask." And looking there, the field it was dry nothing. And this man, he saw this man sitting in road. And he was opening his mouth and just looking like this, not doing anything. He said "O Abdullah!" Not answering. He shouting, not answering also. He is moving him, no answer. Isa alaihi s-salam, he said "O Allah, I asked good thing for this man. What happened for him?" He said "I gave him, not one atom, maybe one part from thousand from this iman, and he is like this. If I give him what he want, he will fly, he will blow like ..." This is example for people who are claiming they are following Isa alaihi s-salam. No. And it is showing how it is. When iman coming, you cannot see anything else. Only what you see, everything perfect. Nothing wrong. This is what this man seeing. And he was only like this sitting. He cannot do anything else. Alhamdulillah you are happy. You cannot be happy in any place else. You cannot be happy in pub, you cannot be happy in this bad place. Only you are happy when you are in this place, in mosque with these our brothers. You make qasida, you make praising Allah and Prophet (saw). Remember us for Allah. Because when somebody seeing qawwali group, he cannot be remember any wrong thing. Only remember Allah. These people, they are for Allah. This is what Prophet (saw) saying, the best people. When you see them, you remember Allah. This is very important. And thank you for all of you. InshaAllah we continue with our brother.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
80.MAWLANA’S HAPPINESS Thursday, May 7, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani,
madad ya Sheikh Muhammed Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Welcome. It's one year today since our Sheikh Effendi departed by his body from our sight but his soul and spirituality is thousands times stronger now and is with every brother. He is reaching everyone and helping when necessary. We've been saying during this year that a year should pass and manifestations would be apparent. We said in the beginning, with inspiration of Sheikh Effendi, that this way won't finish and it is a flowing river. Sheikh Effendi used to always say that it is a main way - It's the main way of tariqa, the flowing way and it has an uncut river. Therefore, these are the seeds planted by Sheikh Effendi. Sheikh Effendi planted seeds. Sheikh Effendi planted the main seeds, and all of them are blessed seeds. They will grow and make everywhere green.
We don't have a right to be proud that there are more now than during the time of Sheikh Effendi. Everything happens with support of Sheikh Effendi. If he wasn't a true Sheikh, a real murshid, no one would remain within a year. Especially, he put the weakest one on top. Of course, we have to obey the order. So we obey it. But shukr to Allah, he has said in the beginning, he gave an inspiration that no one would be lost; everyone will continue on this way and this way will grow much larger. This beautiful way will continue all over the world by being a light, guidance and blessing for people. Who follows this way is from the people of happiness. May Allah be pleased with this much people who came here and everyone in the world. This one year of reaching the presence of Allah of Sheikh Effendi is the happiness of reaching the highest station because Sheikh Effendi returned to his Creator. The biggest happiness of a believer is to return to his Creator. Last year everyone was in grief and miserable. But now we know that Sheikh Effendi has reached the highest point of happiness. He reached his Allah, Prophet, his Master, his Sheikh. He earned the biggest happiness. As Mawlana said, it is like a wedding, Sheb-i Arus (the wedding night). Therefore, Allah has given it to you, to those who are here today. However, to those who couldn't come, the same virtue is given to them who wished from their hearts. It is a blessing for them to celebrate this day of Sheikh Effendi with Yasin
and Qur'an, mawlid and charity from wherever they are. It will be a benefit for them. InshaAllah their families will be guided and blessed inshaAllah.
May Allah be pleased with your coming. Who couldn't come, as we said everything is more under continuous control of Sheikh Effendi, because mashaAllah more cannot fit in the mosque. If more people were inspired to come, it wouldn't carry. Sheikh Effendi used to do everything with principle. Now also his arrangement is going on in the same way. This tiny mosque is hosting thousands of people with support of Sheikh Effendi. It still continues with his support and will continue till Qiyama with permission of Allah. Welcome for all of you. You are guests of Mawlana, Mawlana Sheikh.
Now one year he is by body, he went to akhirah but he's... we're not seeing him by body but now we are seeing him more powerful, more beautiful, more life. Everybody is seeing his reality and his power coming thousands times more from when he was in this life. This is his saying and really people speaking about what they saw in dream, how nice, how he is giving them what to do, what advice. And they are really more happy than before because every time when he in life, only who can come here, he can see him. But now even people never see him in life, they see him in dream and he give them advice what to do. One year it is big karama, miracle from him too... And it is proof for all what he said. Our tariqa, it is live tariqa, not dead. And it is river, main river. Because if like other tariqas, it will be broken alhamdulillah in one year everybody still with Mawlana. What they promise him all they are accept and continuing his way, the way of happiness, real happiness. And baraka and every good thing in this way. Every beauty, every satisfied, everything you imagine from good thing, it is in this tariqa because coming from Mashaikh until Prophet (saw).
Nothing can affect real believer people because they are knowing what Allah and Prophet and Awliya promised them - it will be happen. So this for this life, dunya life, they are not worried about this. We are thanking Mawlana to invite us here. And these people coming here for his love, for love of Allah and love of Prophet. This is
his teaching and it is alive. And we are thanking for people also all around world. They wish to come here. We know millions of them. They like and they are wishing to be here. But this is his, Mawlana's also arranging, only these people. Because here they cannot carry like more people. But he will give same reward for them also all around world. Because real they are sincere to be here. But we are saying also for them to make Yasin Sharif, Qur'an Sharif, to make charity for poor people, to make mawlid, make dua and it will be benefit for them first, after Mawlana and their relative or family also. Last year like this day, we were really very miserable time it was for us and we were big sadness. But now we are knowing it was the happiness for Mawlana because he is with his beloved Sheikh and with Prophet (saw), with Allah. This is what whole life waiting for. And he is in the highest place. He was last year and now, of course, after this also. Now we are happy and we are celebrating this because in Islam no matam (mourning) who people they are when somebody... mourning. In Islam no mourning because this is life - Everybody he will be, must die and to go to akhirah, real life. So we are... It is not only for Mawlana. But he is happy to be there. And it is like wedding for these Awliyaullah. They are saying for death - wedding, to coming to real life. And it is happiness for him. And real Muslim, Ahl al-sunnah wa l-jamaa they don't have this mourning. Only in Islam when somebody dies, three days you must, you make condolence. But everyday.
Also you must remember death. At least seven times. Don't forget this also, to not be afraid from death and to be prepared like Mawlana. Of course, nobody can prepare like Mawlana but we are catching his hand and it is enough for us.
Thank you for all of you. Allah. And we forget to say. He was putting seed, blessed seed and now growing more and more. Everywhere it will be grow because by his baraka and his support, this seed will not be dry. Because river will flooding them. Alhamdulillah he has put us as order and we are the weakest one. But it is order. What we will do? InshaAllah we continue this good way with baraka of Mawlana and Prophet (saw) and be happy here and hereafter. Because real happiness alhamdulillah we got. And we got promise with Mawlana
to be in jannah inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
81.THE PARADISE WAY Friday, May 8, 2015.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu 'ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalina wa l-Akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur, Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghistani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Our tariqa based on sohba and goodness is in association. Our way is the way of good gatherings. Whoever may say anything, it is the way of the Prophet; it is the pure, clean, beautiful way of Islam, which comes from our Prophet. That is the way of tariqa. Nothing else. It is not obligatory to follow tariqa, of course. Because fard is made during our Prophet's time. It's not wajib as well. But it is fard to follow our Prophet. And only tariqa is showing that way, his way. Allah didn't make it obligatory for everyone to follow. However, how lucky are those who wish and are given it. Because it is not given to everyone. It is a matter of fate. It happens if Allah wants. If He doesn't want, various reasons appear and one can't do it.
Sometimes someone comes to this way in his youth, sometimes he comes later. Sometimes he comes closer to the end of his life. And that is a favour from Allah, kindness to that person. It is kindness of Allah, a favour from Allah's kindness, The favour of Islam is the greatest favour. His favour of faith is much stronger than this. This way of tariqa is the way of believers, otherwise it is not obligatory for an ordinary man to come to tariqa. Who comes to tariqa must be a good person. He should be a good example for others. Because if a stain appears on a white page, it is seen immediately. However, whatever happens on a completely stained black thing, people don't say anything to it for whatever he does. But if Muslims and people of tariqa do something small, everyone says "How this man is claiming he is Muslim? He thinks he is from tariqa." And they start attacking him. Actually, that's a good thing too for people to pay more attention to themselves. Everything has goodness in it. Sheikh Effendi is saying too; good for us, bad for them. Let it be good for us, so that if you want to do or do something bad, you know you did wrong and repent for it for your rank to grow higher.
Because committing sin is good from one side. There is hadith sharif, our Prophet has said it. Sahabas were surprised "How come? How doing bad, doing sin can be good?" He said "If one knows he has sinned and repents, Allah writes more rewards for him for returning from sin, for repenting and knowing his fault". Therefore, it is good for us to be in tariqa. Our Prophet says not to harm anyone. Tariqa also orders to be merciful toward everyone, to treat with justice and to do goodness. it
hasn't ordered anything else. As we said, the earlier people enter it, the more benefit they have. If not, later is also good. They can also not enter but still do what Allah orders. There is no obligation. Allah Azza wa Jalla says "You can't give guidance to anyone". But Allah does give guidance. People you never expect come to guidance. Many people can't believe when they hear about previous lives of some people. They say "How come? Can it be true? Can such a person come to this way?" They can. If Allah wants, it will be. During our Prophet's time, there were many sahabas like this too. Moreover, there was one big sahaba, he used to tell poems while our Prophet was in Mecca. And Arabs love poems. And poems were more spread than our media today. If a poem appeared there, it would cover everywhere like fire. Everyone would listen to it. There were no cars, no planes, no boats then, but when a poem appeared, all of Arabia would know within a week. He wrote poems praising the idols, attacking our Prophet a lot, mocking the Muslims a lot. He wrote satires against them all in poems. He did this in Mecca, then continued after they moved to Madina as well. Probably, Abdullah ibn Zibara was this poet. He even martyred one sahaba during the battle of Uhud. He was such a man. When Mecca was conquered, he ran away to a place called Najran. There were Arab Christians there. He said to them "The Prophet conquered Mecca. Now it's your turn. He will come to you". So they took their precautions. But no one came. Then he started slowly to feel regret after he heard that our Prophet is forgiving. He came to Mecca and came up to our Prophet. Our Prophet who knows everything and sees behind him like in front, our Prophet sallAllahu alaihi wa salam, said before he even came - "This Abdullah is coming. He has the light of Islam on his face". So he came and said "I want to make shahada. I did a lot evil of there, ya RasulAllah. What will my situation be? I attacked you so much and all of Islam's holy things, and I martyred a big sahaba." Our Prophet said "Islam forgives what was before. When you become Muslim, it forgives all your wrong-doings. An unbeliever who becomes Muslim is forgiven all his sins. You too. Allah forgives you too. Welcome, you are sahaba too. You are a beloved servant of Allah."
Sahabas are the companions, friends of our Prophet, the Beloved servant of Allah. They are the most precious people. After that, by the
wisdom of Allah all his poems were forgotten. Of course, that was a miracle of our Prophet. Because it is hard to forget. Poems written thousands of years before weren't forgotten, but his poems are forgotten. He wrote new beautiful poems. He had reached such a high station. Therefore, if he had been Muslim from the beginning, he could have been with our Prophet for years with his holy sohbas. He became at last after conquest of Mecca. And as our Prophet departed from this life, he could spend little time with him. That is the point. Important point is to be together from the beginning and continue on this way for whole life. After all, as we said, Allah forgives what unbelievers did. Can he not forgive when Muslims commit sin? Of course, He forgives. Allah is Forgiving. "How much you sin, that much I will forgive" says Allah Azza wa Jalla.
There are some tough people who say "You will go to hell". Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying "Let My servant be bayna l-khawf wa r-raja - let him fear Allah but not lose hope". Allah is forgiving. Allah forgives all of us inshaAllah. Our egos, everyone's ego is bad. May Allah not leave anyone to their ego. But we should fear Allah and not lose hope from Allah. Allah forgives. Don't forget Allah.
This way, our way tariqah. There are people complaining - what the need for tariqa? Tariqa, it was not in time of Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and we not needing for tariqa. No. Tariqa, especially Naqshbandi tariqa, it is connecting to Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) directly. And it is, you can say it is not fard, not wajib, but Allah saying - you must follow Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam). So it is important for Muslim people to be with tariqa, to be under control of murshid. Because Islam teaching the best, but by yourself, your self controlling you. And your self, it is meaning - your ego. Sometimes like to do good thing, but most of time ego not like to do any good thing. Every bad thing, happy with ego. So tariqa teaching people to be under control of murshid, sheikh to guide them to Allah, to Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam), to right way. Because when you are in tariqa, you must be really good. Especially around people, who not knowing about Islam, or not knowing about tariqa, because many people, they are wearing like sunnah type, everything outside it is very nice. But when they are doing things with
people, people are not happy with them because they are cheated (deceived) by outside appearance. So, when something happened, quickly they are saying - O look for this people, they claiming they are following Prophet, following tariqa, and they are doing worse than people who are not doing anything from practicing from Islam. So, this is one side, it is very bad to hear this. But other side, everything Allah make it good for us to make people to see you, to warn you. Because if nobody warning you, so you will be more bad. But when you doing this, and people blaming you, maybe you become better. Because in white paper, it is black thing or dirty thing, it is coming more clear (visible). So you must be like white, clean paper, if anything happen, quickly to clean it. But for other people, ordinary people, they are like not white paper, maybe brown paper, maybe grey or black paper - what you put on it, it is not important for this.
But when you are claiming you are following tariqa, you are following Allah order, and you are doing this for people, it is, I think, double blame for you. Because you are cheating people by your custom and your appearance. So it is not good. And tariqa, when you are following tariqa, it is open for everybody - from your childhood until end of your life. Some people from childhood they are coming to tariqa, some of them maybe young, maybe when middle age, or some end of their life. All it is good. But to be in happy life, whole life to be with murshid, to be with tariqa, it is really blessed thing for everybody. To be with good people, it is like to be in good garden with smelling flowers and nice scenery and cool and nice thing. But to be with bad people, maybe whole life you are in jail, end of the life, only maybe one or two year you become free, you enjoy. But this man, whole life Allah give you. You can be whole life in paradise. Many example for this. And one example for this - One sahabah, he was poem (poet), before Islam, in Mecca. He is from Quraysh also, Abdullah I think Zubary. Only I remember his name, not other name. He was strong poet. And Arab people in that time, poem for them it is very important thing. Their language, Arabic language, Allah ('aza wa jalla) make it the first language, the highest level for language, Arabic language. Until now it's like this, but people not make it important for Arabic language. And he was saying poem against Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam), against Islam and people there. Even once he was arguing with Prophet
(salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) for their idol. And it was like this, he was against Islam very strongly. After Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) went to Madinah, also he was very strong and he was collecting people against Islam with his poems. He really was against Prophet and against Islam. In Uhud, war of Uhud, he was killing one sahabah, maybe Abdullah ibn Salama, he was making him shahid/martyr. And he was also saying poem for death of mushrik. But after Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) opened/fath Mecca he was afraid and he ran away from Mecca. He run away to Najran, this is area for Christian Arabs. And he was trying to make them also against Prophet (saws). But they are afraid and put wall and prepare to not make war with Prophet. He was there and he hear Prophet was forgiving people who are accepting truth And he come to Mecca for Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam). Before he come, Prophet (sws), when he was away a little bit, he said - "I am seeing light of Islam on Abdullah face." And he come and he make shahadah in front of Prophet (saws). And he was making poem for Islam, for Prophet (saws). And miracle of Prophet (saws), all what he said from these poems bad against Islam, it was forgotten by this people. And it is real miracle, because Arabs they were keeping poems since thousand years, not forgetting. But this, all forgetting. And he was good sahabah. Because Prophet (saws) he say he was afraid - "I do very wrong things" he said, "forgive me." "Can you forgive me?" Prophet (saws) said, "Of course. What you did before Islam, now it is forgiven. Nothing." And he reached end of time of Prophet (saws). And he has chance to be with Prophet (saws) 20 years, but only maybe 1 or 2 years he was with Prophet (saws). This is what we explain. To be in tariqa is favor from Allah. If Allah, He want, He take you to tariqa and to right way. And Mawlana way, the life continuing way. And he is call all of you here to be with him again. Here and who was also they are want to be here, they are wishing to be here. But because many people, they cannot come here and when they make bay'ah, it is same Insha Allah, because their intention. We know they like to be here, missing to be here. But their intention important. And they are remember Mawlana. And the most important thing, not only remember Mawlana, Mawlana remember them and keep them. Because he will be watering from blessing and mercy of Allah to grow this paradise way, the way of Prophet (saws).
Inshallah, Allah give all of you from His endless treasure, from His every good thing, you and our brothers around the world and their ancestors and their followers, inshaAllah. Thank you for you.
Wa min Allah it-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
82.THE PATIENT DERVISH REACHED HIS GOAL Saturday, May 9, 2015. 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, Mashaykhina, dastur, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghastani, Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying in Qur'an, Audhu billahi min ash-
shaytani r-rajim Bismillahi r-Rahmani rRahim - "La yukallifu Allahu nafsan illa wus'aha"(2:286). Allah doesn't give what a person cannot carry. If He gave things that couldn't be carried it would be an oppression. And Allah, hasha, doesn't have the attribute of oppressor. People are oppress themselves. Allah doesn't oppress anyone. Allah has given all goodness, all beauty to people. He didn't order any difficulty. People are Muslim when they are born; all babies are born Muslim. However, their parents convert them to other religions. But Allah Azza wa Jalla created people upon Islam. And in Islam there is shariah and tariqa.
People nowadays portray tariqa as a difficult thing. There is no difficulty in tariqa. What we call tariqa is a beautiful way. Allah has put imams/leaders so that people don't come to conclusions by themselves. He has given them duty. Four imams of the madhhabs showed the way. And those imams followed tariqa. Because shariah without tariqa is incomplete. It can't be. All of them followed tariqa. With blessings of their Sheikhs, because Mashayikh also reach to our Prophet, there is a connection. Without this these four big madhhabs wouldn't remain until today. Because it has been more than 1,400 years since Islam came, and they examined up to the most delicate points and said what is right and what is wrong. And they said to believe in saints, to believe in their miracles. They paid a lot of attention to these matters.
Because as we see in the end of times, there are many people who don't accept Awliya and miracles. There are abdal, qutubs, awtad, ahyar. There are all of these. How you become one? You can if Allah wants. Allah has appointed people. People with such attributes will certainly reach that level. "Kullun muyassarun lima khuliq Allah". there is ease for man for what he has been created, will be easiness. Not everyone can be a shepherd. Everyone assumes a shepherd is an easy job. They say shepherds are ignorant up on the mountains, hasha. All of the Prophets were shepherds. Carpenters, electricians; not everyone can do these jobs. It is a gift from Allah. There was one famous holy man in one country, the head of the abdal. There were visible ones in the old days. Now they are mostly hidden.
One of murids asked to be made an abdal too. He said "Ok. But you
have to leave everything. Come, leave your wealth, children and yourself, so that we can make you one of them". The man gave away his possessions, left his wife, and came to his Sheikh. The Sheikh said "Ok, we are going tonight". After midnight they went up to the minaret. Holy ones, abdal started coming there because they go everywhere in the world. The one who came from minaret said: "Bismillah" and disappeared upwards until only the Sheikh and this murid remained. He said "Ok, now say Bismillah and go". He struggled, deciding then changing his mind, deciding then changing his mind. The Sheikh looked at him, left him, and followed his duty. The Murid struggled until the morning adhan to go with them but he couldn't. He remained on the minaret.
When the Sheikh returned, he said "It is not fard, it is not sunnah for you. Because Prophet didn't do it and sahabas didn't do it. You left your possessions and family, but couldn't leave your life. It's not important. There is easiness for you, as our Prophet didn't do so, sahabas didn't fly like this. This is not fard. You go.
Return to your wife. Your money will come back too. Go." This is the matter. Not everyone can do it by his wish. Allah appoints those who reach such a level and they reach it with Allah's help. It can't be by one's wish.
Therefore, everyone should deal with their job. As we said in the beginning of sohba, there is no difficulty, no difficulty in Islam. And there is no sin or fault for not doing something. Your duty is this much. And they showed it as a lesson there. That's why there is tariqa. Its benefits will be seen both in dunya and in akhira. Because it's Allah's favour, it will be visible. Some people say "I am in tariqa for 20 years, for 40 years. I didn't become something." If you notice that is good but if you say you became something, you are on the wrong way. You should wait where you are. If they tell you to wait there, so wait. Don't bother with other things and confuse yourself. Allah is working on your soul from where you are. He gives you the best manifestation. You don't realize it, but who is patient and not rejecting will see its benefit with Allah's permission.
We are saying, there is ayah, audhubillahi mina sh-shaytan-ir rajeem. La yukallifu Allahu nafsan illa wus'aha (2:286) Allah, He not putting any difficult thing, which people, human being cannot do. He not ordering anything difficult for human being, for mankind. He is ordering things (that) it is easy for people to do it. Because Allah not oppressor. Who is oppressor? Ourself, we are oppressor. We are oppressing ourself and doing wrong thing, and it is, you do bad for yourself. Allah never, hasha, to be oppressor. And Allah create a human being on nature of Islam. Every new born baby, he is Muslim, he is in Islam. Because Islam, it is the most perfect religion Allah give for most beloved Prophet Muhammad salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam. And from Adam (as) until Sayyidina Muhammad (sws) slowly, slowly coming and complete in time of Prophet (sws). And Islam continuous with line of Prophet (saws) by tariqah.
And keeping in good way with 4 imams - Abu Hanifa, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, and Maliki. And these 4 imam, how they were keeping right way? They are keeping right way because they are connecting with Prophet (saws) by mashayikh of tariqah. They are following mashayikh. By their barakah, they are keeping until now, 1,400 year and more, nothing change. If they are not, were not connecting, it must be chaos, like these days. Everybody, because they are speaking Arabic language, and they are not accepting any other opinion, so it must be millions of people, everybody doing what they understanding, if there is no mashayikh of tariqah. Because these ulamah, scholar, real ulamah, they are accepting truth. Not looking for sheikh to questioning sheikh - if he is good 'alim, not good 'alim. No. Just they are seeing the light of Prophet on him. Because Sayyidina Shafi'i, his sheikh, he was not reading, not writing. Sayyidina Abu Hanifa, Ja'far as-Sadiq was his imam. And these people, they are not following S. Ja'far as-Sadiq. Real one S. Abu Hanifa.
And it is like - To be shari'ah without tariqah it is not complete. Like one wing, cannot fly. Only making trouble in the earth. But when flying, going up, they are looking everything nice, better. And in tariqah and in shari'ah also, accepting awliya and miracles of Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam and karamat of awliya, they are accepting and they are accepting because Prophet (saws) saying - there is abdal,
akhyar, awtad, aqtab, all this they are accepting. But there is of course, Allah not making difficult for people, and there was one example for this. In old time, many of people they are knowing awliyullah or they knowing who is abdal.
One of these mashayikh, he was chief of abdal. And his mureed, he know this. He was begging him - "O my sheikh, make me one of these people, make me one of these people." And at the end, of course the sheikh is not fed up from any mureed. He is just, they are happy for people when they are coming to them. They must be help them, serve them, and take them to highest station. So just making him to make too much asking until to be make lesson for him. He said, "O my son, come tonight, we will go together." So he take him to top of minaret. And these holy people, abdal, they are coming from minaret, they kissing hand of sheikh and was flying from minaret. Bismillah they disappear, flying. Until they finish, he said "Now your turn. Say Bismillah." He said Bismillah but he afraid. So he try, afraid. Try, afraid. Sheikh said, "You try, I'm going."
He went midnight and coming for fajr, still trying this man. Before he was saying to him - you must leave everthing, you must leave everything from dunya, money, family, everything you must leave and come for me. And he was leaving his family, giving his money for sadaqah. And just he is coming and trying to do this. And sheikh, when he come back, he told him - "You leave everything, your wife, your children, you give your money, everything, but you cannot give your soul, you cannot give your life. But it is ok," he said. "This is only for teaching people because Prophet (saws) and sahabah, they were not doing this, this is not order for people. Only special people they can do this. And it is for teaching people. Just we do this, tomorrow you can take your wife back, and money it will come back for you." This is what we say from first of sohbah. It is: nothing difficult. Just be waiting until they are doing what they want. Many people, they are saying - we are in tariqah maybe 10 years, some of them 20 years, 40 years, we are not feeling we are going high. Our station not going high, we are not like saint. If you feeling like this, it is alhamdulillah, it is good. If you feel you are saint, you are sheikh, it is difficult. Just order, you must be wait. Turkish saying - sabreden dervis, muradina ermis.
Darvish who is patient, he be at the end having everything.
Alhamdulillah, wa min Allah it-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
83.THE SUNNAH OF CUPPING Sunday, May 10, 2015
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 RasulAllah, dastur ya Mashaykhina fi tariqati Naqshbandiyyatil Aliyya, madad Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Shukr to Allah, Allah is letting us have four seasons in our country.
And now it is the middle of Spring already and there is a sunnah of our Prophet for this season. It is both healthy and sunnah to make hijama (cupping). Let us remind how it is made, as people confuse it a lot. It has benefits for many things. Especially it has big benefit for people with high blood pressure. It can be done for people with epilepsy. It has many benefits. It is the sunnah of our Prophet. Many people do it. But first thing that comes in Islam is purity/cleanliness. "An-nadhafatu min al-iman". Cleanliness is from faith. A person going to have hijama becomes amanah, a trust, because blood is dirty and filthy. That has wisdom in it too. Why is it dirty and filthy? Because microbes of many diseases can be transmitted to other people, it is a very dangerous thing. Therefore, this is the wisdom. Otherwise, why would blood be filthy?
Clothes must be clean from blood while praying. There should be nothing. If blood flows, ablution is broken. Every blood has dirtiness and when hijama is made, that dirty blood comes out of the body by the wisdom of Allah. And that has its own principle. Nowadays many people claim they make hijama in order to earn money. Whereas money earned from hijama is not good. Our Prophet said this. You should do it for Allah. The person in front of you is your amanah (trust). Your hands must be clean, your tools must be clean. Then you should place cups by heating them, not by pumping. Dirty blood comes out - only that much. If you place a pump... They pump wells also. No water remains underground. And blood is not like water. Sheikh Effendi used to say from every forty bites [of food] comes one drop blood. And now there are many crazy people who say hijama should be done monthly. That's wrong. You should make it once a year. If necessary, if your blood pressure is too high, you can do twice in Spring and Fall. Don't make it every month. We are warning you here. Because blood is not abundant like water. It is a precious thing. And many diseases appear even if you have no diseases. If you make it monthly, it can't be good. And it can't be made on children. There is no need to make it on people under 30. It can be done later. But if someone under 30 has high blood pressure or epilepsy that is a different issue. But normally it should be made over 30. As we said, it should be made with clean tools. You can't make it repeatedly or with horns because horns cannot be disinfected. You
should make it with cups then throw them away. For others, use new ones. You can transmit diseases in order to earn a little more, and harm people until the end of their lives. You carry the responsibility for it. Because people don't say anything because it is sunnah. If they don't say anything, that's not good. It is from the things that we should say. Be careful. And right time for hijama is morning with an empty stomach. Don't make hijama on Saturdays or Wednesdays. Our Prophet has prohibited it. Who has hijama on those days should bear the responsibility, no one else, because hijama made on these days is not good, it gives illness.
These are very important things. We should remind about this from here. In every country there are differences. Now we are in Lefke. Pomegranates are blossoming in Cyprus. In other place they blossom later, somewhere else even later. But it starts from now. By hijri months, it's better to make after the 15th. If not, it is made in Spring or beginning of Summer. It has big benefits. But as we said, have it made by good people. And ask the person before having it if he knows, how he does it, what he does. Don't lie down immediately, as if under a butcher's knife because people can be lazy sometimes. They can be forgetful and do something wrong. Therefore, this is the time for being responsible. There can't be forgetfulness and laziness. May Allah give health to all of us inshaAllah. This is one of the beautiful ways shown by our Prophet. These are the beautiful ways. If it is made with its principles, with right method as it had been described, it has great benefits. And don't give it to everyone. It is better not to have it than have it done by someone you don't know or are not sure about.
Now, Alhamdulillah we are in Spring. Alhamdulillah in this country they have four seasons and it is the middle of Spring. Now, [is the] time of flowering of pomegranate. This time it is the best time for making hijama, cupping. Cupping. Now, where everywhere going every people they are making it like a profession for themselves. Everybody, they [are] asking. And, it is sunnah, [a] very good sunnah, a healthy sunnah. But when you do it - first thing blood it is dirty. An-Nadhafatu min al-iman (Cleanliness is from Faith) [In] our religion, Islam to be clean [is] the most important thing in Islam, to be clean. Cleanliness in
everything: in your heart and your spiritual and material also. Not only making spiritual; 'My heart clean, no need to clean my hand. I can make cupping with dirty hand, with dirty glass, with dirty knife.' No, it is not, you cannot do this. These people, Allah make them precious people. You cannot make wrong thing for who are they believe and [are] coming putting themselves under your hand to make [a] good thing. So you must be very careful when you do cupping. It must be very clean.
Dirty people, if you hear [about them] don't go to them. And it must be time also, [is] very important, especially for days. There are two days the Prophet he said it is not good to do it - Saturday and Wednesday. Never do this! Because when you do this not coming health, coming illness. And making cupping morning before eating anything. And time it is, for Cyprus now, its pomegranate flower open but maybe for other countries it is little bit later. And once a year you must do it. Once a year, if you have.. especially for blood pressure it is very good. If you have too much blood pressure, you can do once in Spring, one Autumn. Because blood it is very precious thing. It is not like water. Maulana was saying 'every forty morsel [bites makes] one drop of blood.' You must eat forty. So maybe if you [in] one eating, forty or you eat fifty only. In one meal you can get one drop of blood. So it is not easy to [do]. There is crazy people they are saying must do every month. No! It is not [like] shaving your head every month. It is not like this.
There is many thing[s] we must be careful for this. And when they must put a new glass and throw it [old one] one because it is very cheap, it is not [expensive] and they are taking good money these people. And not making with pump. [With a] pump, even now they are putting [it] in a well they finish water in the earth. How [are] they pumping in your body? Only make it hot and take it how it is coming from it's hot; it's enough. This is the dirty blood. Alhamdulillah, Prophet (saws) he show us everything we need in our life and it [is] not need[ed] for children or for babies. Under 30, it's no need because Alhamdulillah everybody good. But maybe sometimes they have blood pressure or 'sar'a' epilepsy. [It is] also good for epilepsy. For small, you can do it.
But, as we said it is only once a year or twice. Not more. And not do it in these wrong days. This is very important. There is one thing more If you do it, in Arabic calendar you do it after [the]15th, of full moon, it will be better. But it is also OK, you can do it any time but not these Saturday [or] Wednesday. Other [days], all you can do [it]. And it is sunna of Prophet (saws) Allah rewards us because we are in the end of times; a hundred shahid/martyr reward [because] we are following sunna of Prophet (saws). It is very important for people to be careful for other people also. This is [an] important point also. Because Prophet (saws) [said] 'any place there is disease, you cannot you mustn't go out because make you take this disease to other people also.' 'If you are out, don't come inside' he said. Alhamdulillah, so you must be careful for our health for others' health also. And it is from [the] love of Muslim to Muslim, this teaching of Prophet (saws). Thank you for you, Insha'Allah may be health for you.

84.DON’T IMITATE THEM Wednesday, May 13, 2015. As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur, Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
"Man tashabbaha bi qawmin fa huwa minhum" says our Prophet. If you imitate a nation or group of people and want to resemble them, you will become one of them. That's why our Prophet says to be a little different from non-Muslims. Let your Muslim-hood be seen. It was clear before where people belonged from their clothes and attitudes. People nowadays show it too but some people want more to imitate others. That is not good. Your identity should be seen. Resemble the
beloved servants of Allah. The religion of Islam is the most perfect religion.
Imitating is not only by clothing. They are making up laws not existing in Islam. And our people like them. We don't like that. They are bringing up an idea and we want to imitate that idea. This also is not nice. Allah has made the religion of Islam the highest and greatest. This religion is the highest from all aspects. There is no better than this. Because Allah Azza wa Jalla made it perfect. You can't see any incompleteness in it. How is it that Islam doesn't resemble others? There is tolerance in Islam; everyone can live as they wish. You can't make a non-Muslim to be Muslim. If he wants, he can become Muslim. If he doesn't, he can keep his religion. He can live among Muslims. They say they swear at Muslims. Of course, if they did other than that they would have become Muslim themselves. Their lack of love towards Muslims is quite a normal thing. Muslims should accept them as they are because if they loved Muslims, if they loved our Prophet, if they loved us, they would have become Muslim. Therefore, these people are against Muslims all over the world. But when honored with Islam, whatever the man has done, it will be as if he didn't do it. Because Islam starts from that moment keeping his account and recording his book. Before that, he has already committed the biggest of sins by making shirk, not recognizing and not wanting Allah.
Therefore, there is no issue of him loving or not loving us. There are much bigger issues. But if you say a non-Muslim is doing this and that to us, that's normal for him. We are not like him. No Muslim could live for hundreds of years in their countries. Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants couldn't get along with each other. They didn't tolerate it. They didn't leave any Muslims there and exiled and sent them away. In our Islamic state during the time of Khalifat, in the Ottoman Empire, thousands of nations were living. They had hundreds of religions according to their minds. No one could interfere them. They didn't interfere unless they were Muslims. And Muslims had certain principles for not making fitna. This is it. "Don't imitate anyone." it

as we said, Allah, create people, everyone he has speciality for him. So not everyone can be in tariqat. Only chosen one. "dhalika l-faḍlu min Allah" (4:70) (That is the favour from Allah) Favour from Allah. To be Muslim,
of course, favour from Allah but to be also in tariqa it is more favour. Because iman when you taste it, you forget anything else. And tariqat taking you to this stage to taste the sweetness of iman. Everything after this not important for who is tasting. Because he knows everything from Allah he is happy with what Allah giving. He's happy, not asking Allah "Why me?" There's "Why me?" It is from, I think, Western culture. Western culture, it is built on ego. First, you must save yourself, after you save other one. But Islamic and spiritual culture, first you must help people also. You not be real believer until you love your brother, Muslim brother as you love yourself. And we say who tasting sweetness of iman, belief, he cannot be afraid from anything. This is teaching of whole prophets. Teaching of Prophet, it is culture of heavenly teaching. It is culture of heavenly teaching. Other what we said, Western culture - human being culture, taking from miserable and other people. And it is making only trouble and miserable for human being. We are seeing now the situation of world. It is the summary of this culture. Because everywhere no anymore spiritual culture, heavenly culture. No. All they, whole world by this last 100 years or 150 years, they were spreading all this culture, their culture. Even in Muslim countries it's more than here this culture. But heavenly culture, all Prophets were teaching to taste sweetness of belief. Once Sayyidina Isa, alaihi s-salam, he was all time travelling and going around. And old time there was people who left everything, some of them living in cave, some of them living in huts, some of them in small place or just praying and worshipping Allah. Once he went to some place. He saw fountain water coming, clean water. And near this the land, and there was one man worshipping there. He was drinking and cleaning himself by water and planting something to eat. He asked him, Sayyidina Isa, "How many years you are here?" He said "I am since 70 years. I am worshipping Allah. And I am eating and drinking here from this." It was very nice place. He said "But I am asking something I couldn't take it from Allah". Isa alaihi salam, he said "What it is?" He said "You are Prophet. You can by special to ask Allah to give me one atom from iman. 70 years I couldn't take this. You are Prophet and I am happy you are here. I believe to you and I am asking for you to make this for me." Sayyidina Isa, he asked Allah. After many times, maybe 1 year or 2 years he was coming again same place. He saw everything dry, nothing there. He didn't see this man. He
said to Allah, "I ask." And looking there, the field it was dry nothing. And this man, he saw this man sitting in road. And he was opening his mouth and just looking like this, not doing anything. He said "O Abdullah!" Not answering. He shouting, not answering also. He is moving him, no answer. Isa alaihi s-salam, he said "O Allah, I asked good thing for this man. What happened for him?" He said "I gave him, not one atom, maybe one part from thousand from this iman, and he is like this. If I give him what he want, he will fly, he will blow like ..." This is example for people who are claiming they are following Isa alaihi s-salam. No. And it is showing how it is. When iman coming, you cannot see anything else. Only what you see, everything perfect. Nothing wrong. This is what this man seeing. And he was only like this sitting. He cannot do anything else. Alhamdulillah you are happy. You cannot be happy in any place else. You cannot be happy in pub, you cannot be happy in this bad place. Only you are happy when you are in this place, in mosque with these our brothers. You make qasida, you make praising Allah and Prophet (saw). Remember us for Allah. Because when somebody seeing qawwali group, he cannot be remember any wrong thing. Only remember Allah. These people, they are for Allah. This is what Prophet (saw) saying, the best people. When you see them, you remember Allah. This is very important. And thank you for all of you. InshaAllah we continue with our brother.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
80.MAWLANA’S HAPPINESS Thursday, May 7, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani,
madad ya Sheikh Muhammed Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Welcome. It's one year today since our Sheikh Effendi departed by his body from our sight but his soul and spirituality is thousands times stronger now and is with every brother. He is reaching everyone and helping when necessary. We've been saying during this year that a year should pass and manifestations would be apparent. We said in the beginning, with inspiration of Sheikh Effendi, that this way won't finish and it is a flowing river. Sheikh Effendi used to always say that it is a main way - It's the main way of tariqa, the flowing way and it has an uncut river. Therefore, these are the seeds planted by Sheikh Effendi. Sheikh Effendi planted seeds. Sheikh Effendi planted the main seeds, and all of them are blessed seeds. They will grow and make everywhere green.
We don't have a right to be proud that there are more now than during the time of Sheikh Effendi. Everything happens with support of Sheikh Effendi. If he wasn't a true Sheikh, a real murshid, no one would remain within a year. Especially, he put the weakest one on top. Of course, we have to obey the order. So we obey it. But shukr to Allah, he has said in the beginning, he gave an inspiration that no one would be lost; everyone will continue on this way and this way will grow much larger. This beautiful way will continue all over the world by being a light, guidance and blessing for people. Who follows this way is from the people of happiness. May Allah be pleased with this much people who came here and everyone in the world. This one year of reaching the presence of Allah of Sheikh Effendi is the happiness of reaching the highest station because Sheikh Effendi returned to his Creator. The biggest happiness of a believer is to return to his Creator. Last year everyone was in grief and miserable. But now we know that Sheikh Effendi has reached the highest point of happiness. He reached his Allah, Prophet, his Master, his Sheikh. He earned the biggest happiness. As Mawlana said, it is like a wedding, Sheb-i Arus (the wedding night). Therefore, Allah has given it to you, to those who are here today. However, to those who couldn't come, the same virtue is given to them who wished from their hearts. It is a blessing for them to celebrate this day of Sheikh Effendi with Yasin
and Qur'an, mawlid and charity from wherever they are. It will be a benefit for them. InshaAllah their families will be guided and blessed inshaAllah.
May Allah be pleased with your coming. Who couldn't come, as we said everything is more under continuous control of Sheikh Effendi, because mashaAllah more cannot fit in the mosque. If more people were inspired to come, it wouldn't carry. Sheikh Effendi used to do everything with principle. Now also his arrangement is going on in the same way. This tiny mosque is hosting thousands of people with support of Sheikh Effendi. It still continues with his support and will continue till Qiyama with permission of Allah. Welcome for all of you. You are guests of Mawlana, Mawlana Sheikh.
Now one year he is by body, he went to akhirah but he's... we're not seeing him by body but now we are seeing him more powerful, more beautiful, more life. Everybody is seeing his reality and his power coming thousands times more from when he was in this life. This is his saying and really people speaking about what they saw in dream, how nice, how he is giving them what to do, what advice. And they are really more happy than before because every time when he in life, only who can come here, he can see him. But now even people never see him in life, they see him in dream and he give them advice what to do. One year it is big karama, miracle from him too... And it is proof for all what he said. Our tariqa, it is live tariqa, not dead. And it is river, main river. Because if like other tariqas, it will be broken alhamdulillah in one year everybody still with Mawlana. What they promise him all they are accept and continuing his way, the way of happiness, real happiness. And baraka and every good thing in this way. Every beauty, every satisfied, everything you imagine from good thing, it is in this tariqa because coming from Mashaikh until Prophet (saw).
Nothing can affect real believer people because they are knowing what Allah and Prophet and Awliya promised them - it will be happen. So this for this life, dunya life, they are not worried about this. We are thanking Mawlana to invite us here. And these people coming here for his love, for love of Allah and love of Prophet. This is
his teaching and it is alive. And we are thanking for people also all around world. They wish to come here. We know millions of them. They like and they are wishing to be here. But this is his, Mawlana's also arranging, only these people. Because here they cannot carry like more people. But he will give same reward for them also all around world. Because real they are sincere to be here. But we are saying also for them to make Yasin Sharif, Qur'an Sharif, to make charity for poor people, to make mawlid, make dua and it will be benefit for them first, after Mawlana and their relative or family also. Last year like this day, we were really very miserable time it was for us and we were big sadness. But now we are knowing it was the happiness for Mawlana because he is with his beloved Sheikh and with Prophet (saw), with Allah. This is what whole life waiting for. And he is in the highest place. He was last year and now, of course, after this also. Now we are happy and we are celebrating this because in Islam no matam (mourning) who people they are when somebody... mourning. In Islam no mourning because this is life - Everybody he will be, must die and to go to akhirah, real life. So we are... It is not only for Mawlana. But he is happy to be there. And it is like wedding for these Awliyaullah. They are saying for death - wedding, to coming to real life. And it is happiness for him. And real Muslim, Ahl al-sunnah wa l-jamaa they don't have this mourning. Only in Islam when somebody dies, three days you must, you make condolence. But everyday.
Also you must remember death. At least seven times. Don't forget this also, to not be afraid from death and to be prepared like Mawlana. Of course, nobody can prepare like Mawlana but we are catching his hand and it is enough for us.
Thank you for all of you. Allah. And we forget to say. He was putting seed, blessed seed and now growing more and more. Everywhere it will be grow because by his baraka and his support, this seed will not be dry. Because river will flooding them. Alhamdulillah he has put us as order and we are the weakest one. But it is order. What we will do? InshaAllah we continue this good way with baraka of Mawlana and Prophet (saw) and be happy here and hereafter. Because real happiness alhamdulillah we got. And we got promise with Mawlana
to be in jannah inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
81.THE PARADISE WAY Friday, May 8, 2015.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu 'ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalina wa l-Akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur, Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghistani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Our tariqa based on sohba and goodness is in association. Our way is the way of good gatherings. Whoever may say anything, it is the way of the Prophet; it is the pure, clean, beautiful way of Islam, which comes from our Prophet. That is the way of tariqa. Nothing else. It is not obligatory to follow tariqa, of course. Because fard is made during our Prophet's time. It's not wajib as well. But it is fard to follow our Prophet. And only tariqa is showing that way, his way. Allah didn't make it obligatory for everyone to follow. However, how lucky are those who wish and are given it. Because it is not given to everyone. It is a matter of fate. It happens if Allah wants. If He doesn't want, various reasons appear and one can't do it.
Sometimes someone comes to this way in his youth, sometimes he comes later. Sometimes he comes closer to the end of his life. And that is a favour from Allah, kindness to that person. It is kindness of Allah, a favour from Allah's kindness, The favour of Islam is the greatest favour. His favour of faith is much stronger than this. This way of tariqa is the way of believers, otherwise it is not obligatory for an ordinary man to come to tariqa. Who comes to tariqa must be a good person. He should be a good example for others. Because if a stain appears on a white page, it is seen immediately. However, whatever happens on a completely stained black thing, people don't say anything to it for whatever he does. But if Muslims and people of tariqa do something small, everyone says "How this man is claiming he is Muslim? He thinks he is from tariqa." And they start attacking him. Actually, that's a good thing too for people to pay more attention to themselves. Everything has goodness in it. Sheikh Effendi is saying too; good for us, bad for them. Let it be good for us, so that if you want to do or do something bad, you know you did wrong and repent for it for your rank to grow higher.
Because committing sin is good from one side. There is hadith sharif, our Prophet has said it. Sahabas were surprised "How come? How doing bad, doing sin can be good?" He said "If one knows he has sinned and repents, Allah writes more rewards for him for returning from sin, for repenting and knowing his fault". Therefore, it is good for us to be in tariqa. Our Prophet says not to harm anyone. Tariqa also orders to be merciful toward everyone, to treat with justice and to do goodness. it
hasn't ordered anything else. As we said, the earlier people enter it, the more benefit they have. If not, later is also good. They can also not enter but still do what Allah orders. There is no obligation. Allah Azza wa Jalla says "You can't give guidance to anyone". But Allah does give guidance. People you never expect come to guidance. Many people can't believe when they hear about previous lives of some people. They say "How come? Can it be true? Can such a person come to this way?" They can. If Allah wants, it will be. During our Prophet's time, there were many sahabas like this too. Moreover, there was one big sahaba, he used to tell poems while our Prophet was in Mecca. And Arabs love poems. And poems were more spread than our media today. If a poem appeared there, it would cover everywhere like fire. Everyone would listen to it. There were no cars, no planes, no boats then, but when a poem appeared, all of Arabia would know within a week. He wrote poems praising the idols, attacking our Prophet a lot, mocking the Muslims a lot. He wrote satires against them all in poems. He did this in Mecca, then continued after they moved to Madina as well. Probably, Abdullah ibn Zibara was this poet. He even martyred one sahaba during the battle of Uhud. He was such a man. When Mecca was conquered, he ran away to a place called Najran. There were Arab Christians there. He said to them "The Prophet conquered Mecca. Now it's your turn. He will come to you". So they took their precautions. But no one came. Then he started slowly to feel regret after he heard that our Prophet is forgiving. He came to Mecca and came up to our Prophet. Our Prophet who knows everything and sees behind him like in front, our Prophet sallAllahu alaihi wa salam, said before he even came - "This Abdullah is coming. He has the light of Islam on his face". So he came and said "I want to make shahada. I did a lot evil of there, ya RasulAllah. What will my situation be? I attacked you so much and all of Islam's holy things, and I martyred a big sahaba." Our Prophet said "Islam forgives what was before. When you become Muslim, it forgives all your wrong-doings. An unbeliever who becomes Muslim is forgiven all his sins. You too. Allah forgives you too. Welcome, you are sahaba too. You are a beloved servant of Allah."
Sahabas are the companions, friends of our Prophet, the Beloved servant of Allah. They are the most precious people. After that, by the
wisdom of Allah all his poems were forgotten. Of course, that was a miracle of our Prophet. Because it is hard to forget. Poems written thousands of years before weren't forgotten, but his poems are forgotten. He wrote new beautiful poems. He had reached such a high station. Therefore, if he had been Muslim from the beginning, he could have been with our Prophet for years with his holy sohbas. He became at last after conquest of Mecca. And as our Prophet departed from this life, he could spend little time with him. That is the point. Important point is to be together from the beginning and continue on this way for whole life. After all, as we said, Allah forgives what unbelievers did. Can he not forgive when Muslims commit sin? Of course, He forgives. Allah is Forgiving. "How much you sin, that much I will forgive" says Allah Azza wa Jalla.
There are some tough people who say "You will go to hell". Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying "Let My servant be bayna l-khawf wa r-raja - let him fear Allah but not lose hope". Allah is forgiving. Allah forgives all of us inshaAllah. Our egos, everyone's ego is bad. May Allah not leave anyone to their ego. But we should fear Allah and not lose hope from Allah. Allah forgives. Don't forget Allah.
This way, our way tariqah. There are people complaining - what the need for tariqa? Tariqa, it was not in time of Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and we not needing for tariqa. No. Tariqa, especially Naqshbandi tariqa, it is connecting to Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) directly. And it is, you can say it is not fard, not wajib, but Allah saying - you must follow Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam). So it is important for Muslim people to be with tariqa, to be under control of murshid. Because Islam teaching the best, but by yourself, your self controlling you. And your self, it is meaning - your ego. Sometimes like to do good thing, but most of time ego not like to do any good thing. Every bad thing, happy with ego. So tariqa teaching people to be under control of murshid, sheikh to guide them to Allah, to Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam), to right way. Because when you are in tariqa, you must be really good. Especially around people, who not knowing about Islam, or not knowing about tariqa, because many people, they are wearing like sunnah type, everything outside it is very nice. But when they are doing things with
people, people are not happy with them because they are cheated (deceived) by outside appearance. So, when something happened, quickly they are saying - O look for this people, they claiming they are following Prophet, following tariqa, and they are doing worse than people who are not doing anything from practicing from Islam. So, this is one side, it is very bad to hear this. But other side, everything Allah make it good for us to make people to see you, to warn you. Because if nobody warning you, so you will be more bad. But when you doing this, and people blaming you, maybe you become better. Because in white paper, it is black thing or dirty thing, it is coming more clear (visible). So you must be like white, clean paper, if anything happen, quickly to clean it. But for other people, ordinary people, they are like not white paper, maybe brown paper, maybe grey or black paper - what you put on it, it is not important for this.
But when you are claiming you are following tariqa, you are following Allah order, and you are doing this for people, it is, I think, double blame for you. Because you are cheating people by your custom and your appearance. So it is not good. And tariqa, when you are following tariqa, it is open for everybody - from your childhood until end of your life. Some people from childhood they are coming to tariqa, some of them maybe young, maybe when middle age, or some end of their life. All it is good. But to be in happy life, whole life to be with murshid, to be with tariqa, it is really blessed thing for everybody. To be with good people, it is like to be in good garden with smelling flowers and nice scenery and cool and nice thing. But to be with bad people, maybe whole life you are in jail, end of the life, only maybe one or two year you become free, you enjoy. But this man, whole life Allah give you. You can be whole life in paradise. Many example for this. And one example for this - One sahabah, he was poem (poet), before Islam, in Mecca. He is from Quraysh also, Abdullah I think Zubary. Only I remember his name, not other name. He was strong poet. And Arab people in that time, poem for them it is very important thing. Their language, Arabic language, Allah ('aza wa jalla) make it the first language, the highest level for language, Arabic language. Until now it's like this, but people not make it important for Arabic language. And he was saying poem against Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam), against Islam and people there. Even once he was arguing with Prophet
(salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) for their idol. And it was like this, he was against Islam very strongly. After Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) went to Madinah, also he was very strong and he was collecting people against Islam with his poems. He really was against Prophet and against Islam. In Uhud, war of Uhud, he was killing one sahabah, maybe Abdullah ibn Salama, he was making him shahid/martyr. And he was also saying poem for death of mushrik. But after Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) opened/fath Mecca he was afraid and he ran away from Mecca. He run away to Najran, this is area for Christian Arabs. And he was trying to make them also against Prophet (saws). But they are afraid and put wall and prepare to not make war with Prophet. He was there and he hear Prophet was forgiving people who are accepting truth And he come to Mecca for Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam). Before he come, Prophet (sws), when he was away a little bit, he said - "I am seeing light of Islam on Abdullah face." And he come and he make shahadah in front of Prophet (saws). And he was making poem for Islam, for Prophet (saws). And miracle of Prophet (saws), all what he said from these poems bad against Islam, it was forgotten by this people. And it is real miracle, because Arabs they were keeping poems since thousand years, not forgetting. But this, all forgetting. And he was good sahabah. Because Prophet (saws) he say he was afraid - "I do very wrong things" he said, "forgive me." "Can you forgive me?" Prophet (saws) said, "Of course. What you did before Islam, now it is forgiven. Nothing." And he reached end of time of Prophet (saws). And he has chance to be with Prophet (saws) 20 years, but only maybe 1 or 2 years he was with Prophet (saws). This is what we explain. To be in tariqa is favor from Allah. If Allah, He want, He take you to tariqa and to right way. And Mawlana way, the life continuing way. And he is call all of you here to be with him again. Here and who was also they are want to be here, they are wishing to be here. But because many people, they cannot come here and when they make bay'ah, it is same Insha Allah, because their intention. We know they like to be here, missing to be here. But their intention important. And they are remember Mawlana. And the most important thing, not only remember Mawlana, Mawlana remember them and keep them. Because he will be watering from blessing and mercy of Allah to grow this paradise way, the way of Prophet (saws).
Inshallah, Allah give all of you from His endless treasure, from His every good thing, you and our brothers around the world and their ancestors and their followers, inshaAllah. Thank you for you.
Wa min Allah it-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
82.THE PATIENT DERVISH REACHED HIS GOAL Saturday, May 9, 2015. 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, Mashaykhina, dastur, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghastani, Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying in Qur'an, Audhu billahi min ash-
shaytani r-rajim Bismillahi r-Rahmani rRahim - "La yukallifu Allahu nafsan illa wus'aha"(2:286). Allah doesn't give what a person cannot carry. If He gave things that couldn't be carried it would be an oppression. And Allah, hasha, doesn't have the attribute of oppressor. People are oppress themselves. Allah doesn't oppress anyone. Allah has given all goodness, all beauty to people. He didn't order any difficulty. People are Muslim when they are born; all babies are born Muslim. However, their parents convert them to other religions. But Allah Azza wa Jalla created people upon Islam. And in Islam there is shariah and tariqa.
People nowadays portray tariqa as a difficult thing. There is no difficulty in tariqa. What we call tariqa is a beautiful way. Allah has put imams/leaders so that people don't come to conclusions by themselves. He has given them duty. Four imams of the madhhabs showed the way. And those imams followed tariqa. Because shariah without tariqa is incomplete. It can't be. All of them followed tariqa. With blessings of their Sheikhs, because Mashayikh also reach to our Prophet, there is a connection. Without this these four big madhhabs wouldn't remain until today. Because it has been more than 1,400 years since Islam came, and they examined up to the most delicate points and said what is right and what is wrong. And they said to believe in saints, to believe in their miracles. They paid a lot of attention to these matters.
Because as we see in the end of times, there are many people who don't accept Awliya and miracles. There are abdal, qutubs, awtad, ahyar. There are all of these. How you become one? You can if Allah wants. Allah has appointed people. People with such attributes will certainly reach that level. "Kullun muyassarun lima khuliq Allah". there is ease for man for what he has been created, will be easiness. Not everyone can be a shepherd. Everyone assumes a shepherd is an easy job. They say shepherds are ignorant up on the mountains, hasha. All of the Prophets were shepherds. Carpenters, electricians; not everyone can do these jobs. It is a gift from Allah. There was one famous holy man in one country, the head of the abdal. There were visible ones in the old days. Now they are mostly hidden.
One of murids asked to be made an abdal too. He said "Ok. But you
have to leave everything. Come, leave your wealth, children and yourself, so that we can make you one of them". The man gave away his possessions, left his wife, and came to his Sheikh. The Sheikh said "Ok, we are going tonight". After midnight they went up to the minaret. Holy ones, abdal started coming there because they go everywhere in the world. The one who came from minaret said: "Bismillah" and disappeared upwards until only the Sheikh and this murid remained. He said "Ok, now say Bismillah and go". He struggled, deciding then changing his mind, deciding then changing his mind. The Sheikh looked at him, left him, and followed his duty. The Murid struggled until the morning adhan to go with them but he couldn't. He remained on the minaret.
When the Sheikh returned, he said "It is not fard, it is not sunnah for you. Because Prophet didn't do it and sahabas didn't do it. You left your possessions and family, but couldn't leave your life. It's not important. There is easiness for you, as our Prophet didn't do so, sahabas didn't fly like this. This is not fard. You go.
Return to your wife. Your money will come back too. Go." This is the matter. Not everyone can do it by his wish. Allah appoints those who reach such a level and they reach it with Allah's help. It can't be by one's wish.
Therefore, everyone should deal with their job. As we said in the beginning of sohba, there is no difficulty, no difficulty in Islam. And there is no sin or fault for not doing something. Your duty is this much. And they showed it as a lesson there. That's why there is tariqa. Its benefits will be seen both in dunya and in akhira. Because it's Allah's favour, it will be visible. Some people say "I am in tariqa for 20 years, for 40 years. I didn't become something." If you notice that is good but if you say you became something, you are on the wrong way. You should wait where you are. If they tell you to wait there, so wait. Don't bother with other things and confuse yourself. Allah is working on your soul from where you are. He gives you the best manifestation. You don't realize it, but who is patient and not rejecting will see its benefit with Allah's permission.
We are saying, there is ayah, audhubillahi mina sh-shaytan-ir rajeem. La yukallifu Allahu nafsan illa wus'aha (2:286) Allah, He not putting any difficult thing, which people, human being cannot do. He not ordering anything difficult for human being, for mankind. He is ordering things (that) it is easy for people to do it. Because Allah not oppressor. Who is oppressor? Ourself, we are oppressor. We are oppressing ourself and doing wrong thing, and it is, you do bad for yourself. Allah never, hasha, to be oppressor. And Allah create a human being on nature of Islam. Every new born baby, he is Muslim, he is in Islam. Because Islam, it is the most perfect religion Allah give for most beloved Prophet Muhammad salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam. And from Adam (as) until Sayyidina Muhammad (sws) slowly, slowly coming and complete in time of Prophet (sws). And Islam continuous with line of Prophet (saws) by tariqah.
And keeping in good way with 4 imams - Abu Hanifa, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, and Maliki. And these 4 imam, how they were keeping right way? They are keeping right way because they are connecting with Prophet (saws) by mashayikh of tariqah. They are following mashayikh. By their barakah, they are keeping until now, 1,400 year and more, nothing change. If they are not, were not connecting, it must be chaos, like these days. Everybody, because they are speaking Arabic language, and they are not accepting any other opinion, so it must be millions of people, everybody doing what they understanding, if there is no mashayikh of tariqah. Because these ulamah, scholar, real ulamah, they are accepting truth. Not looking for sheikh to questioning sheikh - if he is good 'alim, not good 'alim. No. Just they are seeing the light of Prophet on him. Because Sayyidina Shafi'i, his sheikh, he was not reading, not writing. Sayyidina Abu Hanifa, Ja'far as-Sadiq was his imam. And these people, they are not following S. Ja'far as-Sadiq. Real one S. Abu Hanifa.
And it is like - To be shari'ah without tariqah it is not complete. Like one wing, cannot fly. Only making trouble in the earth. But when flying, going up, they are looking everything nice, better. And in tariqah and in shari'ah also, accepting awliya and miracles of Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam and karamat of awliya, they are accepting and they are accepting because Prophet (saws) saying - there is abdal,
akhyar, awtad, aqtab, all this they are accepting. But there is of course, Allah not making difficult for people, and there was one example for this. In old time, many of people they are knowing awliyullah or they knowing who is abdal.
One of these mashayikh, he was chief of abdal. And his mureed, he know this. He was begging him - "O my sheikh, make me one of these people, make me one of these people." And at the end, of course the sheikh is not fed up from any mureed. He is just, they are happy for people when they are coming to them. They must be help them, serve them, and take them to highest station. So just making him to make too much asking until to be make lesson for him. He said, "O my son, come tonight, we will go together." So he take him to top of minaret. And these holy people, abdal, they are coming from minaret, they kissing hand of sheikh and was flying from minaret. Bismillah they disappear, flying. Until they finish, he said "Now your turn. Say Bismillah." He said Bismillah but he afraid. So he try, afraid. Try, afraid. Sheikh said, "You try, I'm going."
He went midnight and coming for fajr, still trying this man. Before he was saying to him - you must leave everthing, you must leave everything from dunya, money, family, everything you must leave and come for me. And he was leaving his family, giving his money for sadaqah. And just he is coming and trying to do this. And sheikh, when he come back, he told him - "You leave everything, your wife, your children, you give your money, everything, but you cannot give your soul, you cannot give your life. But it is ok," he said. "This is only for teaching people because Prophet (saws) and sahabah, they were not doing this, this is not order for people. Only special people they can do this. And it is for teaching people. Just we do this, tomorrow you can take your wife back, and money it will come back for you." This is what we say from first of sohbah. It is: nothing difficult. Just be waiting until they are doing what they want. Many people, they are saying - we are in tariqah maybe 10 years, some of them 20 years, 40 years, we are not feeling we are going high. Our station not going high, we are not like saint. If you feeling like this, it is alhamdulillah, it is good. If you feel you are saint, you are sheikh, it is difficult. Just order, you must be wait. Turkish saying - sabreden dervis, muradina ermis.
Darvish who is patient, he be at the end having everything.
Alhamdulillah, wa min Allah it-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
83.THE SUNNAH OF CUPPING Sunday, May 10, 2015
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 RasulAllah, dastur ya Mashaykhina fi tariqati Naqshbandiyyatil Aliyya, madad Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Shukr to Allah, Allah is letting us have four seasons in our country.
And now it is the middle of Spring already and there is a sunnah of our Prophet for this season. It is both healthy and sunnah to make hijama (cupping). Let us remind how it is made, as people confuse it a lot. It has benefits for many things. Especially it has big benefit for people with high blood pressure. It can be done for people with epilepsy. It has many benefits. It is the sunnah of our Prophet. Many people do it. But first thing that comes in Islam is purity/cleanliness. "An-nadhafatu min al-iman". Cleanliness is from faith. A person going to have hijama becomes amanah, a trust, because blood is dirty and filthy. That has wisdom in it too. Why is it dirty and filthy? Because microbes of many diseases can be transmitted to other people, it is a very dangerous thing. Therefore, this is the wisdom. Otherwise, why would blood be filthy?
Clothes must be clean from blood while praying. There should be nothing. If blood flows, ablution is broken. Every blood has dirtiness and when hijama is made, that dirty blood comes out of the body by the wisdom of Allah. And that has its own principle. Nowadays many people claim they make hijama in order to earn money. Whereas money earned from hijama is not good. Our Prophet said this. You should do it for Allah. The person in front of you is your amanah (trust). Your hands must be clean, your tools must be clean. Then you should place cups by heating them, not by pumping. Dirty blood comes out - only that much. If you place a pump... They pump wells also. No water remains underground. And blood is not like water. Sheikh Effendi used to say from every forty bites [of food] comes one drop blood. And now there are many crazy people who say hijama should be done monthly. That's wrong. You should make it once a year. If necessary, if your blood pressure is too high, you can do twice in Spring and Fall. Don't make it every month. We are warning you here. Because blood is not abundant like water. It is a precious thing. And many diseases appear even if you have no diseases. If you make it monthly, it can't be good. And it can't be made on children. There is no need to make it on people under 30. It can be done later. But if someone under 30 has high blood pressure or epilepsy that is a different issue. But normally it should be made over 30. As we said, it should be made with clean tools. You can't make it repeatedly or with horns because horns cannot be disinfected. You
should make it with cups then throw them away. For others, use new ones. You can transmit diseases in order to earn a little more, and harm people until the end of their lives. You carry the responsibility for it. Because people don't say anything because it is sunnah. If they don't say anything, that's not good. It is from the things that we should say. Be careful. And right time for hijama is morning with an empty stomach. Don't make hijama on Saturdays or Wednesdays. Our Prophet has prohibited it. Who has hijama on those days should bear the responsibility, no one else, because hijama made on these days is not good, it gives illness.
These are very important things. We should remind about this from here. In every country there are differences. Now we are in Lefke. Pomegranates are blossoming in Cyprus. In other place they blossom later, somewhere else even later. But it starts from now. By hijri months, it's better to make after the 15th. If not, it is made in Spring or beginning of Summer. It has big benefits. But as we said, have it made by good people. And ask the person before having it if he knows, how he does it, what he does. Don't lie down immediately, as if under a butcher's knife because people can be lazy sometimes. They can be forgetful and do something wrong. Therefore, this is the time for being responsible. There can't be forgetfulness and laziness. May Allah give health to all of us inshaAllah. This is one of the beautiful ways shown by our Prophet. These are the beautiful ways. If it is made with its principles, with right method as it had been described, it has great benefits. And don't give it to everyone. It is better not to have it than have it done by someone you don't know or are not sure about.
Now, Alhamdulillah we are in Spring. Alhamdulillah in this country they have four seasons and it is the middle of Spring. Now, [is the] time of flowering of pomegranate. This time it is the best time for making hijama, cupping. Cupping. Now, where everywhere going every people they are making it like a profession for themselves. Everybody, they [are] asking. And, it is sunnah, [a] very good sunnah, a healthy sunnah. But when you do it - first thing blood it is dirty. An-Nadhafatu min al-iman (Cleanliness is from Faith) [In] our religion, Islam to be clean [is] the most important thing in Islam, to be clean. Cleanliness in
everything: in your heart and your spiritual and material also. Not only making spiritual; 'My heart clean, no need to clean my hand. I can make cupping with dirty hand, with dirty glass, with dirty knife.' No, it is not, you cannot do this. These people, Allah make them precious people. You cannot make wrong thing for who are they believe and [are] coming putting themselves under your hand to make [a] good thing. So you must be very careful when you do cupping. It must be very clean.
Dirty people, if you hear [about them] don't go to them. And it must be time also, [is] very important, especially for days. There are two days the Prophet he said it is not good to do it - Saturday and Wednesday. Never do this! Because when you do this not coming health, coming illness. And making cupping morning before eating anything. And time it is, for Cyprus now, its pomegranate flower open but maybe for other countries it is little bit later. And once a year you must do it. Once a year, if you have.. especially for blood pressure it is very good. If you have too much blood pressure, you can do once in Spring, one Autumn. Because blood it is very precious thing. It is not like water. Maulana was saying 'every forty morsel [bites makes] one drop of blood.' You must eat forty. So maybe if you [in] one eating, forty or you eat fifty only. In one meal you can get one drop of blood. So it is not easy to [do]. There is crazy people they are saying must do every month. No! It is not [like] shaving your head every month. It is not like this.
There is many thing[s] we must be careful for this. And when they must put a new glass and throw it [old one] one because it is very cheap, it is not [expensive] and they are taking good money these people. And not making with pump. [With a] pump, even now they are putting [it] in a well they finish water in the earth. How [are] they pumping in your body? Only make it hot and take it how it is coming from it's hot; it's enough. This is the dirty blood. Alhamdulillah, Prophet (saws) he show us everything we need in our life and it [is] not need[ed] for children or for babies. Under 30, it's no need because Alhamdulillah everybody good. But maybe sometimes they have blood pressure or 'sar'a' epilepsy. [It is] also good for epilepsy. For small, you can do it.
But, as we said it is only once a year or twice. Not more. And not do it in these wrong days. This is very important. There is one thing more If you do it, in Arabic calendar you do it after [the]15th, of full moon, it will be better. But it is also OK, you can do it any time but not these Saturday [or] Wednesday. Other [days], all you can do [it]. And it is sunna of Prophet (saws) Allah rewards us because we are in the end of times; a hundred shahid/martyr reward [because] we are following sunna of Prophet (saws). It is very important for people to be careful for other people also. This is [an] important point also. Because Prophet (saws) [said] 'any place there is disease, you cannot you mustn't go out because make you take this disease to other people also.' 'If you are out, don't come inside' he said. Alhamdulillah, so you must be careful for our health for others' health also. And it is from [the] love of Muslim to Muslim, this teaching of Prophet (saws). Thank you for you, Insha'Allah may be health for you.
Wa min Allah it-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
84.DON’T IMITATE THEM Wednesday, May 13, 2015. As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur, Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
"Man tashabbaha bi qawmin fa huwa minhum" says our Prophet. If you imitate a nation or group of people and want to resemble them, you will become one of them. That's why our Prophet says to be a little different from non-Muslims. Let your Muslim-hood be seen. It was clear before where people belonged from their clothes and attitudes. People nowadays show it too but some people want more to imitate others. That is not good. Your identity should be seen. Resemble the
beloved servants of Allah. The religion of Islam is the most perfect religion.
Imitating is not only by clothing. They are making up laws not existing in Islam. And our people like them. We don't like that. They are bringing up an idea and we want to imitate that idea. This also is not nice. Allah has made the religion of Islam the highest and greatest. This religion is the highest from all aspects. There is no better than this. Because Allah Azza wa Jalla made it perfect. You can't see any incompleteness in it. How is it that Islam doesn't resemble others? There is tolerance in Islam; everyone can live as they wish. You can't make a non-Muslim to be Muslim. If he wants, he can become Muslim. If he doesn't, he can keep his religion. He can live among Muslims. They say they swear at Muslims. Of course, if they did other than that they would have become Muslim themselves. Their lack of love towards Muslims is quite a normal thing. Muslims should accept them as they are because if they loved Muslims, if they loved our Prophet, if they loved us, they would have become Muslim. Therefore, these people are against Muslims all over the world. But when honored with Islam, whatever the man has done, it will be as if he didn't do it. Because Islam starts from that moment keeping his account and recording his book. Before that, he has already committed the biggest of sins by making shirk, not recognizing and not wanting Allah.
Therefore, there is no issue of him loving or not loving us. There are much bigger issues. But if you say a non-Muslim is doing this and that to us, that's normal for him. We are not like him. No Muslim could live for hundreds of years in their countries. Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants couldn't get along with each other. They didn't tolerate it. They didn't leave any Muslims there and exiled and sent them away. In our Islamic state during the time of Khalifat, in the Ottoman Empire, thousands of nations were living. They had hundreds of religions according to their minds. No one could interfere them. They didn't interfere unless they were Muslims. And Muslims had certain principles for not making fitna. This is it. "Don't imitate anyone." it
