Suhbah 2015: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (13/30)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5425
says.
Muslims don't go out into the streets to march and scream. Sheikh
Effendi used to be very angry at this. Muslims can't go out into the streets and shout and scream, if something happens. You should go to the mosques and pray. As we say, there are many things. Whatever people, who have lost their way do, sometimes our Muslims are imitating them. Then, as we said, like in hadith of our Prophet, you become one of them. If you say you are Muslim and shout, you're not counted as Muslim, you're counted as one of them. A Muslim follows with adab the way ordered by Allah and shown by our Prophet. He doesn't imitate. A Muslim is a dignified person with adab, not a loose one. You shouldn't resemble them - not only by clothing, but actually by sense of logic and behavior.
"Don't resemble non-Muslims and those who have lost their ways" it says. Beware don't imitate them and don't like what is theirs. And there's no need to act against them. We don't accept, don't like and don't want it. Most people feel disgusted when they come across and see screaming and yelling somewhere. Whoever it may be, people don't like it. Therefore, it's wrong to scream and shout. It is said in Qur'an as well "Don't raise your voices". "Don't raise your voice above our Prophet's." When you scream... Our people sometimes shout out takbir too much. This is not nice either. Act with adab. It's not good to do it everywhere because you will put yourself under the bad tongue of people and cause others to hate or curse you. What we preach is the way of adab, this is the way of tariqa.
Allah Azza wa Jall He said in Qur'an ... no. Prophet (saws) in hadith he said, Man tashabbaha bi qawmin fa huwa minhum. Who look like some nations, or some people, who try to be like them, imitate them, he is from them. Of course this before it was for outside looking. Many people in the old time, every nation, every people from their custom you know from where they are, which religion, which country. So, it was not good to imitate [those] who are not from Muslim people. There must be a difference between you and others. But these days it is more important for not imitate them or not like them - to [not] look like them, inside, innerly.
How they have bad ideas for whole human beings They thought they are doing good but their ideas [are] not good. So, we mustn't listen to
them or to imitate them, to make some idea like them. Especially, people [that] they are angry. These people they are making many trick about Islam. They are making, they are swearing for Islam, for our precious, holy, holy thing for Islam. They are saying bad word about this and we, our people they are attacking them. They are doing [the] same thing. They are imitating them and they are coming in trick for what they done these people. In Islam it is [a] religion for, the best religion of Allah. "[The] last religion [is] Islam" He said 'the complete religion.'
So these people, when they are saying bad thing about Islam, bad thing about Muslim, bad thing about every holy thing for us, it is normal. It is normal, we mustn't be angry. Why? Because if they are accepting and they are loving our holy things they must be Muslim. So, when they are not accepting, they can do what they do. So we are not [to] imitate them, and be make the same thing for them. Even [if] there is many crazy people, they are swearing for some Prophet also. We accept all Prophet[s]. So when these people they are doing every[thing] they can do, every bad thing, they can do what they like because we are not responsible for them. Only we are responsible [for those] who are in Islam. But other people they are, they are making the biggest sin to be, [to] put partner with Allah or not accept Allah or they are doing, worshipping idols. They are doing anything outside of Islam they are, this is the most important and the biggest sin. There is hadith: It is no sin behind 'kufr' (...) unbelief. Unbeliever, it is the biggest sin. It is the biggest sin because when these people, if they doing the worst thing before Islam and [then] they accept Islam, only Allah asking for them after Islam. Before Islam all this [is] forgiven for them. So for this these, our people, they are imitate them and they are try to do same what they do. We know they are not, they don't have any 'musamiha' (tolerance). No tolerance. We know this, and we see everywhere in the world they are doing the worst not taking nations from earth. They not leaving any Muslims in Europe after 100 years. Not leaving any, only this last century the Muslim come to Europe also. But before, No! But also, it is not, not bad for us, because it is normal. We cannot say "how they can do this, how can they do that?" It is normal because they are outside of belief. So we are only must imitate - not imitate them. Only following Islam. Islam, because it is accepting in
our country [for there] to be people with another religion. They are, they have right, they have to be in safety in our country to work and worship what they like. Only we saying, we invite them to Islam. If they accept, OK accept. If not accept it is, they are free. It is not, now it is this. Since Prophet (saws) - same. It was like this. In Iran there was worshipping Majusi, they worshipping fire. And there was Jewish, there was Christian there was many thing. In Ottoman time, same.
Even, once when Fatih Sultan Mehmet who conquered Istanbul, he was going through Europe and opening. There was a Serbian king and he was between Ottoman and between Hungary. Hungary it was Catholic and the Orthodox - Serbian. And he sent some messenger to ask how maybe, because Orthodox and Catholic, it was like enemy, more than Muslim! And he try to ask maybe if he [can] help this Hungarian against Turk. They will be, there is peace between them. He sent for this king. He said to him 'If we help you, how you will be treating us?' He said, "We will try to finish all this Orthodox and then crush all your yes, everything for [the] church and.." And he asked for Sultan Mehmet. He said, "We are, the religion, Islam. We invite people to Islam. If they accept, accept. If not accept, they are free. We will leave their Church and what they worshipping. We can be in the mosque."
It was like this, but we are, what we say from beginning. It is normal for non-believers. We cannot imitate them. They must imitate us. We have the adab of Prophet (saws) and teaching of Allah Azza wa Jalla and tariqat they are teaching this. These days there are many people they forget this. They try to imitate what they done, the worst thing. Allah make us safe from these people.
Wa min Allah it-Tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.

85.ALLAH’S ENDLESS KNOWLEDGE OCEANS Thursday, May 14, 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 Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani rrajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. "Wamā ūtītum mina al-ʿilmi illā qalīlan" (17:85)
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying "How much knowledge you assume to have acquired, I have given you a little". Not only a person, if whole mankind acquires knowledge, it is as much as water that remains on a needle when it is put into and taken out of an ocean. The Hadith of our Prophet says so. In other words, the knowledge of this world is not real knowledge. Nevertheless, it is something shown by Allah, given by Allah. A person shouldn't think it comes from himself, from his ego. Whatever mankind learned slowly slowly since Adam, alaihi salam, all is what Allah taught.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying for Bani Israel "Walaqad ikhtarnāhum 'alā 'ilmin 'alā l-ālamīna" (44:32) We have given knowledge to this nation above other people. Allah Azza wa Jalla gives, He gives knowledge to whomever He wants. However much knowledge He gives, it is little. What they say qaleel it means very little. There is no need to boast and be proud of your knowledge. Everything is from Allah. You should know it so that you are thankful. You must be thankful for everything - that Allah has given you this knowledge, that you are being useful to people, so that you say you do it for Allah's sake. Benefit will come from this. Otherwise, if you acquired knowledge not for your akhirah but to satisfy your ego you have become alim but your knowledge has
no benefit.
Mankind nowadays in worldly knowledge... In old times, people learned few things in a thousand years. Then they learned few things in a hundred years. They then brought up new inventions. And in the last century, thousand things appear every year. In the last 20 years, inventions became a couple times more. People now assume they reached the peak. You didn't reach anything. Everything works with permission of Allah. If there's no permission of Allah, neither technology, nor electricity, nor machinery can be of use. Nothing can work if Allah doesn't give His secret. What you see now is nothing next to Allah. There are knowledges much beyond these. The more you learn still it is very little. This shows the greatness of Allah and the weakness of mankind, shows how limited people's knowledge is. There is a limit they can't pass.
Of course, can there be knowledge more than this? A man of 1,000 years ago or 100 years ago wouldn't believe what they'd see now. Allah's knowledge is more. It can't be measured. A man can't reach its border. The greatness of Allah, Azimu Shan. Allah cannot be comprehended. Therefore, these learned people should show humbleness, bow to the greatness of Allah and be thankful. Today we are saying -“wa fawqa kulli dhī 'ilmin 'alīm.” (12:76) "Wamā ūtītum mina al-ʿilmi illā qalīlan" (17:85) Allah said - what you have from knowledge, from high knowledge, it is only very little. Prophet (saws) saying - all this, what you are seeing from knowledge, all, not only for one people, for whole human being, it is just like taking needle and putting in water and take it out, from oceans, how it will be on this water, it is less than this - Prophet (saws) saying. What all human beings taking from Adam (as) until Judgment Day, it is like this. And it is gift from Allah. For some people, Allah give them this to make them, to test them - how they will be.
Allah said, and it is real when you see from beginning up to end, and now even, for Bani Israel - “Walaqadi khtarnāhum 'alā 'ilmin 'alā al- ālamīna” (44:32) We chose this people by giving them knowledge. They are chosen by knowledge. This is what Allah give them, but they are not doing for Allah, only for their ego. But Allah also saying - what We
give, only very little. What you see in this world, before they said, from every thousand year, maybe new thing coming, the people making new thing. After in hundred year, they making few thing. And since one hundred year, they are doing every year thousands of discoveries or inventions. And since twenty years, even they are more making hundred thousands. And people, they are thinking - we are getting the highest stage from knowledge. And they are coming against Allah. They are not accepting ruling of what Allah put for people, human beings. They are not even accepting Allah. This is not knowledgeable knowledge, it is bad knowledge. Because the highest thing, what you have here, all by secret of Allah. He said," Be", it is be, it must be. If He said, "don't be", nothing can work. And this is secret they don't know. They thought this electricity coming by themself. There is secret in this electricity, there is secret in petrol, other, all this, what Allah give this secret for this to work, it is working. There is more high technology, also there is for people, they are not knowing yet about it. If there is time, Allah give them. But if no time, it will be not.
But it is, what we seeing here, it is very very little. Because before hundred year ago, if you say for this, what we have now, people cannot believe. But also, maybe coming to mind, people, they are accepting. But knowledge of Allah, it is like ocean, and you cannot come to limit of this knowledge. This is what Allah showing people to be hopeless in front of Allah and accepting His Mightiness. Who are real knowledge people, they accept this. Because this is what we see from electricity, from this all, this high technology. It is nothing. Allah, He sometimes giving volcano, giving earthquake, giving flood. The highest technology cannot do anything. And it is just warning. But the real knowledge from Allah, people they are become like astonishing, cannot do anything. The Mightiness of Allah, it is nobody can reach to limit of this.
So, Allah He choose people to be knowledge, and he choose people to not be knowledge. But who was chosen to be knowledge people, they must be humble and accepting Allah's order - To be benefit for them and for human being. They thought they are doing something benefit for human being, but it is for them bad and for the human being also
bad. Only what intention for accept the Creator, Allah Azza wa Jalla. And to show people good way, it is acceptable knowledge. Other, nothing. We are all weak creatures. Allah (awj), He created us also human being. He can create us another kind of creature. We must be thankful for Him. Thank you for Allah.
Wa min Allah it-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
86.LAILAT AL-MI’RĀJ
Friday, May 15, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Audhu billahi min ash-shaitani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu was salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wal-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghestani, madad ya Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says in Holy Qur'an: "Subhan alladhi asra bi abdihi lailan minal masjidil-harami ila l-masjidi l-aqsa" (17:1) (Exalted is He, who took His servant by night from Masjid al Haram to Masjid al Aqsa) This verse shows the importance of this night. Surat Al-Isra is in the middle of the Holy Qur'an. Allah Azza wa Jalla. Subhan (exalted) can only be said to Allah Azza wa Jalla. How Great, how Majestic is Allah Azza wa Jalla! Subhan is a tasbeeh. Tasbeeh is for Allah, not for any other creature. Everything is praising Allah. Each and every atom of the world and the universe is praising Allah. Tasbih is the highest thing. Subhan is more Majestic, higher than that. Because it is such a miracle that no human being can do it. Allah Azza wa Jalla made it special for Our Prophet (sas) so that people know the Majesty of Allah. For them to know how to praise our Prophet (sas).
The Prophet (sas) was not an ordinary human being. Today's ignorant people say that he (sas) was an ordinary person like us. He had a mission which he completed and then left. Many people say this. The ones, who say this, thanks to Allah, are not so many in our country but the people, who claim they know Qur'an say it more. Not all but there are some people, who say this. Yesterday a scholar came mashaAllah he had noor (light). He said: "There are 1%, 2% or 3% people they think all these scholars or other people are the same. But shaitan is making their voices heard by everyone so that people think they are all the same. Allah forbid they have belief (iman) thousand times more, they love, respect the Prophet (sas). A few bad ones come out. People think they are all the same. Do not think that way. Arabs also have more affection to our Prophet (sas). I mean if a couple of people speak nonsense do not think everyone is like them. There were thousand, hundred thousands of scholars there were some bad scholars among
them. When you look at the numbers it is like zero but of course their books and words spread as a fitnah. It turned out to be fitnah for people.
Allah Azza wa Jalla praises Isra and Mi'raj so much. Some people say it was a dream, some say it isn't possible that he (sas) ascended with his body and came back. These are the ones, who claim to be scholars. If it was a dream, everybody is seeing so many things in his dreams every night. Then, it would neither be a wonder, nor a miracle. It is the miracle of Allah, it is an incident that shows Allah's love for the Prophet (sas) and shows that he is a chosen one above other people. Our Prophet (sas) reached to a point where no man ever reached and will not be able to reach. No one ever reached to that point before. Even Gabriel said; "If I take 1 step further I will get burned and turn into ashes."
After our Prophet (sas) reached to that point and came back, although his body seemed like a human, with the inspiration and manifestation there our Prophet (sas) went far beyond a normal human being. Nobody can say; "He was also a human being, he was ordinary". He is different, He is the Beloved servant of Allah, the Beloved being, our prophet (sas). This is a holy night. It is both a gift of Allah to the Prophet (sas) and also to the people who believe, respect, honour this night as a holy night and pray, do charity. They take from Allah's favours. Their prayers will be accepted. They will have a good life. They reach the real life. Real life! This is an illusory life. Real life is the akhirah life.
On such nights as this one a window opens to akhirah, from there people receive from the favours of Allah. These holy nights are the respected nights. It is mentioned also in Qur'an - Laylatu l-Qadr, Isra, Mi'raj, Shaban, Raghaib night, Bara'at night, are all holy nights. They are the favours of Allah to us. Generous, the most generous among generous ones, Allah gives people chances, so that people take from His favours. The more you take the more Allah will be pleased. What we want is Allah's pleasure. Allah will be pleased with you. Allah will be happy with you. Accept his favour, don't reject it. Take! He is giving. Take as much as you can. The Arabs have a saying: When a man is greedy, they say be greedy for the akhirah, not this world. So, as much as you desire the favours of Allah, as much as you want, Allah Azza wa Jalla will be more pleased with you.
So, this is one of those nights. InshaAllah we pray the tasbeeh prayer. We visit the Holy Hair of the beard of our Prophet (sas). It is a piece of him (sas) who reached to such stations that the inspiration, gift and beauty will definitely reach to us also with Allah's permission. Even an atom of the Prophet (sas) is enough for people, the world. Allah Azza wa Jalla gave favours. The Holy Beard of the Prophet (sas) is everywhere, thanks to Allah, in our mosques and masjids. Allah's wisdom reached so many places. It is a piece of our Prophet (sas). It is a heritage from him (sas). Inshallah the blessing of this night may be upon us. May Allah bless it. May Allah make us reach many more years.
Inshallah Allah sends a Sahib, who will save us from the bad situation that Muslim world is in now. Mahdi alaihi s-salam comes during such times. Not when everything is going well. He comes when people are miserable, when there is bloodshed everywhere. Otherwise if he comes at a normal time what will he save? Now the Muslim world is devastated. InshaAllah he is coming soon. Allah makes us reach him quickly InshaAllah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla, He is saying in, there is Surat Al-'Isra He [is] praising Himself saying: subhana lladhi asra bi abdihi laylan mina l- masjidi l-harami ila l-masjidi l-aqsa lladhi barakna hawlahu. (17:1) Subhan - meaning the highest praising for Allah. [The root of] 'Subhan' [is] coming from 'Tasbih' also. Everything [is] praising/ Tasbih - Yusabbih. Skies, earth, universe, every atom [is] praising Allah, making tasbih. Without tasbih, nobody, nothing can exist. And He is praising Himself by this; what [was] given for Prophet; the highest station to invite the Prophet (saws) to, first to Masjida lAsqa, Jerusalem, after to His Divine Presence.
And it is [a] miracle [that] happened by physically, physical body - Not only with spiritual. No! Because if it is spiritual it is not [a] miracle. Everybody [when] sleeping seeing something. Many people they are seeing very good dreams, but it is a dream. Dream [is] for everybody, you cannot say [it is] miracle. Miracle, and it is only for this miracle only for Prophet (saws). There is millions of miracles for Prophets. But, for the highest what Allah give for Prophet (saws) [is] one of the highest, the biggest miracle - this Isra' wal-Mi'raj.
And there is people they claim themself they are understanding [the] language of Qur'an. But they make fitna and they saying the Prophet, he is 'prophet Muhammed (saws) he is just ordinary human being like
us. And he got some mission and he finished [his] mission and he is now dead. You cannot benefit from dead people.' These people, they are... they are dead. And they are some of them they said [they are] Arab but not Arab! There are thousands of scholars, there are thousands of good scholars in Arab. These are a few people they are saying, showing themselves as they are the real people and shaytan supports them. From a hundred thousand of ulama, scholars, Arabs praising Prophet (saws) and his miracle and his teaching and accepting his highest station. He is not ordinary man or human being. But only few of them they put them and they make fitna. This is shaytan and his followers and they are ignorant people.
Because when Prophet (saws) he got the highest ikram, gift from Allah, nobody before him got it. And the human being, they cannot be [able to] reach for what Prophet (saws) reached in one night. Even it is; when he went and came back from Divine Presence it was his bed still warm. And he was going around all universe and the seven Heavens and he went to the Paradise and he looked for hell also, for Judgement Day, for everything He Allah showed him. And he was after to [a] place where nobody from human being can be there. Even angel Jibril he couldn't pass one more step because he said 'If I pass one more I will be burn'. So he, Prophet (saws) he was in a place [where] his body, everything, he [was] full of blessed and special things to be in Divine presence of Allah. And how you say 'he is like us?' 'He is a human being like us'? 'He is from..' No! You cannot be. You must be, respect for Prophet (saws) and it is surah in the middle of Qur'an - to show these people how Allah praising Prophet (saws). We are all ordered to praise Prophet (saws) and to get blessed from him.
Allah 'Azza wa Jalla by His Prophet, sake of Prophet gives us many occasions to be blessed. One of them [is] this night: it is Isra wal-Mi'raj night. It is very blessed night. There is many nights like this, maybe four [or] five. It is, offered from Allah 'Azza wa Jalla, the Most Generous. He loves and He is happy when people take and accept this, what He gives. He is happy and this is what our aim [is] in our life. What is our aim in our life? Our aim [is] to make Allah happy with us. If He is happy with us, everything else [is] nothing. But if He is not happy with us we are in trouble. This is what. And He is happy with us when He gives something and you take. He is happy. He is not stingy. Never! This cannot be for Allah. He [is] happy [when you] take. You take, He [is] more happy with you. Take this from His generosity, His endless pleasures. He is more happy with you. What He give you, accept and take! And be safe.
Alhamdulillah, this night insha'Allah we will make tasbih, salat at- tassabih and we make ziyarat for Prophet's (saws) hair of [his] beard, and this beard coming from Prophet (saws). And he, it was in Divine Presence of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla. Even [though it is] one very small thing but Alhamdulillah, he who, we are, all who visiting; they are blessed with this. Because, Alhamdulill─üh there is wisdom. Many mosques in our country, [in] other countries, they have [a] piece of Prophet's (saws) beard or hair. It is very blessed thing, Alhamdulillah. So insha 'Allah his barakat coming for us. We are happy with him, happy with Allah to send us this gift. Alhamdulillah, tonight insha'Allah we making this and dua, praying acceptable this night.
You can pray for yourself, for your family, for your children to be safe in iman (faith). And Allah save the nation of Islam, human beings. Send somebody to save us! And it is really very bad days and, [our] saviour he is Mehdi alayhi s-salam. Mehdi alayhi s-salam not coming when it is nice days. No need, no need to save anybody. But when it is bad, war, blood, fire, fitna, people they are in miserable way we are [in] this time - he coming. Insha'Allah his time very soon Insha'Allah. Ya Allah make them to be with him and to reach the blessed days, the - it is like Prophet's days 'asru sa'ada' - Century of happiness. Insha'Allah. Insha'Allah soon Insha'Allah Allah make us in [the] right way with our brothers, with our 'ikhwan' and Muslim, mu'min insha'Allah. To be, Allah give guidance for human being also to be in right way insha'Allah.

87.BE WITH THE TRUTH
Saturday, May 16, 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 Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
If you want to be relaxed in this world, you can be with truthful people only, those whose personality and actions match each other. "Ya ayyuha llathina amanu ittaqu Allaha wakunu m'a s-sadiqin." (9:119) The order of Allah is to fear Allah and to be with truthful people. Both are the good commands of Allah. They are for your benefit. Allah is not in need of anyone. He won't receive any benefit. Even if all your actions are good, they have neither benefit nor harm for Allah. Both their harm and benefit is for you.
Therefore, everybody knows in this life that going with a liar is not liked by anyone. Just like disliking a liar, you should also be a truthful one so that people can be friends with you. Be a desired person. There is no need to lie for the sake of someone. Our Prophet says when a person starts telling lies, slowly slowly he is written as a liar in the presence of Allah. And a true person is written as a truthful one in the presence of Allah by telling the truth. Because when a man starts lying, he tells another lie to support his previous lie. Going like this until his whole his life is built upon lies. He will have wasted it. He won't be a beneficent man. And its harm will be more for himself.
The truthful are the Prophets. Sahabas (companions) are truthful, Awliya are truthful, believers are truthful. Be with them. No need to go after those who promise you something everyday and don't keep their promises. We must follow the way of Allah, the way shown by Allah. This is the beautiful way to be in comfort in this life and to be saved in akhirah, the real life, haqq-ul hayat, the life of akhirah. Holy Quran is the book of all mankind, all universe. "Wa la ratbin wa la yabisin illa fi kitabin mubeen."(6:59) Everything is there. There are short things but they show the way too. They are beautiful things. They keep light in
people's lives. Some people are blind, they don't see. That is different. But this is enough for people even though it's short.
Today we are saying, [it is an] order of Allah, holy verse: "Ya ayyuha lladhina amanu ittaqu Allaha wa kunu m'a s-sadiqin" (9:119) Allah ordering us to be afraid from Allah. How to [be] afraid? To not do wrong things, to see He is seeing us, what we are doing. He is, everything He knowing, nothing can hide. Second thing - Be with trustful people who are saying truth, people. Don't be with liars. And this is for our, human being's benefit. Allah [is] showing us these good ways because for Allah [there is] no benefit from what we doing. We done, we do, we will do - No benefit at all for Allah. No harm also for Him. He is Creator. Everything for you, for people, for human beings. Allah showing good way and to be with good people, not liar people. It is even for normal people, it is good.
So, don't be liar! Because, hadith as-Sharif, Prophet (saws) saying: There are people, they are speaking, lying ones. After [that] lying again and they it is like habit for them and they will be written in Divine Presence as liars. And other who say truth, he saying truth every time saying truth. Allah write in Divine Presence they are true man, good man. Because when you saying truth, [it is] true - no need to put another truth near it; it is OK. But when somebody lying and saying lie he must put another one near it. Because it is weak and it is not enough, he will put another, another, another until whole life he will be in, built on lies.
This is you must be away from these people who are promising and not doing, and they are lying [their] whole life. You must be away from these people. Allah ordered to be with true-saying people. And it is easy for people to live with good people, not easy to live with not trustful (trustworthy) people. It's for our benefit.
And the Qur'an Azimu sh-sha'an, everything in this life [is] written on it, inside it. Inside [the] Qur'an, Holy Qur'an. And Allah give us way, showing us [the] way how to be happy here and hereafter. Even small orders but it is only for our benefit. Allah, as we said, all human beings if they are right nothing good for Him, no benefit for Him or even all they are wrong way, also no harm for Allah. Only for us and He is Creator and He is showing us how to be with whom we must be and who we must follow. Who ... Be with good people, trustful people. Don't be with other people and you [will] be happy and here and hereafter also. And we must learn to say [the] true - to not learn at all to
say a lie. To not be habit for you to be [a] liar. It is not good to writing in Divine Presence 'This man liar!' It is shame for these people!
Allah keep us in the right way, and write us in good people, trustful people in Divine Presence.

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Many thanks are due, Shaykh Mawlana’s passing anniversary went well with his support (himma). His miracle (karama) and himma arrives in time every time. The himma of awliya always comes to aid in time. Hadrat Shaykh Mawlana said that the power of awliya increase more after their passing away. It is truely so. People come the same way, even more people come to Shaykh Mawlana’s maqam (tomb) with yearning. All kinds of people are attracted to that place. They come to visit with the love of Allah, the love of Holy Prophet (SAW), and the love of the Awliya. Their himma is present when you visit. So when you go to visit the awliya, ask them the path of Allah with adab (manners). They are people whom Allah sent amongst people as a nur (light), as people who show beautiful light in this dark zulumat (darkness). May Allah help us Muslims for their sake Inshallah. Hadrat Shaykh Mawlana’s himma is enduring. Ask for himma. May Allah increase our faith (iman) with their himma, as that is the most important thing. May it be true iman and strong iman Inshallah. May there be generations that obey and know Islam until Judgment Day, and may they be with iman, Islam and blessings (baraka) Inshallah. Inshallah, may they be under protection. May Allah be content with all of you.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
89.DO NOT SHOW THE FORBIDDEN (HARAM) AS PERMISSIBLE (HALAL) Monday, May 18, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah (JJ) says, “O people! Do not show the forbidden (haram) as permissible (halal).” Eat of what halal Allah has given. Halal is halal and haram is haram. You will have committed a sin if you call a haram halal according to your own head. You can benefit from the favors given by Allah as long as they are halal. Allah (JJ) likes His favors being evident on His servant. If Allah has treated you, do not hide it. You may benefit from it. You can thank Allah. Allah (JJ) increases as you are thankful. You can use it comfortably if Allah has provided, but not by burrowing here and there and wasting. It is not haram, it is not a sin, on the contrary it is a good deed. Some people think it is a sin according to Sufism. No, it is not a sin. If you are to become a Sufi, fix your own actions and attitudes first. Do not be interested in this or that person’s posessions as a Sufi. People might be deceived by your Sufi appearance and trust in you. Do not betray their trust. You are not to have a bad course of action as that is the sin. It is not a sin to use the favors Allah has provided. As we said, what is more important than our appearance is cleaning our inside. Allah Azza wa Jalla says “Eat and drink of my favors but do not waste.” Shaykh Mawlana also used to say, “Eat.” However, when you eat do not eat to fill your stomach. The Hadith Sharif says not to fill the stomach. Get up before filling your stomach. We become full and then eat one more time. One of our ikhwan (brothers and sisters) relates: a father and his son were at an invitation. The man said he was full. While insisting, “Take this and that,” he said he was full up to here (showing his throat). Then dessert
arrived, and they said, “Here you are.” When his son said, “Dessert has already been served,” his father said he counted fourty morsels above here (pointing to his throat).
People also show greed, and it is not good either. Chew well and taste. Eat two pieces instead of a kilogram, but eat like a human while tasting that delicious food. Every food has a different taste. It would be good to eat your fill without going extreme. That is also a blessing of Allah. Allah gave you a blessing, but do not eat as much as ten people. Everything has a limit and boundary. Neither go extreme, nor decrease completely. The middle way is the best. Benefit from the favors Allah has given. Be thankful to Allah. Allah increases then.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
90.DO NOT LEAVE FOR TOMORROW Wednesday, May, 20, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “Do not leave things to be done for later. Do not leave for tomorrow.” Becasue everyday has a different duty. If you do not do one thing and leave for tomorrow, how are you to do the thing of tomorrow anyway? How are you to do two things when one is not done? That is why, if there is a work or a duty you should immediately do it that day. Do not make yourselves indebted. It is not good to owe. The nature of people now is to take a loan or to like more things that are harmful to themselves. It is not good to take a loan. It is a burden. It is a harmful thing, both internally and externally. If you have something due, do not leave for tomorrow. Do not make yourselves indebted, especially in the sight of Allah. Because in worldy matters, a person can strive and the situation might change. But for the hereafter, if Shaitan captures one time, he does not leave. He whispers as, “You can do it tomorrow. You are young afterall. There are so many days left. The days of Allah do not end.” While thinking you can do and manage tomorrow, one obligation becomes two tomorrow. If you think of doing it later, it becomes three and five. Just then, it might happen that life is over without doing a thing. Whatever there is, you need to do it instantyl. Never postpone those things if you are able to and if Allah gives the power. To procrastinate is from Shaitan. It is of recognized worth to hurry in good works. They say to be in haste is from Shaitan, but shaitan does not want good works. Shaitan delays good works and does not make it hurried. But if there is another bad thing, he makes it done immediately. He tells you to do it in a hurry, then you regret afterwards. Regret does not apply to good works. Do
the good and do not leave it for later. Do not say, “We can fast later. We can give later.” Do it immediately if possible. Laziness is an easier thing for a person to get used to. Do not leave your ego at ease. Always oppose it. Let it be trained directly. You would get used to it if you pay each time within its time. You should think of performing prayer (namaz) and paying your due when the time for prayer arrives. Whatever other good deeds and works there might be, they should also be done in their own time. Over time, a person starts thinking of the coming period even before its time arrives. As we said, the ego undergoes training. It goes according to how it is used to. That is why, do not get used to laziness and procrastination. That is the greatest illness. Days pass as you think of doing it tomorrow. As you think of getting up a little later for Morning Prayer (Sabah Namaz), you find that the sun has risen over your head and you missed your prayer. You regret it afterwards, but it is too late. May Allah give us all this strength. Many people ask for dua to be able to get up for prayer. Inshallah. May Allah (JJ) give us that strength not to delay prayers and supplications Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
91.MANNERS OF TARIQA Friday, May 22, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our tariqa is the Naqshbandi Tariqa. The procedure, manner, and zikr of our tariqa is silent. We also do it silently when we do the khatm (congregational zikr). The Khatm Khwajagan is one part in the night of zikr. This is done according to the procedures coming from our Naqshibandi Masters, all the way from our Holy Prophet (saw), coming from Hadrat Abu Bakr. What we do afterwards is imitating the 40 tariqas, meaning we are doing loud zikr, hadra, to receive their blessings (baraka) too. We are not presenting it as the procedures of the Naqshbandi Tariqa. Shaykh Mawlana, may Allah raise his station, used to say at the end of every khatm, “Now we will do loud zikr in imitation of the 40 tariqas to receive their blessings too.” So what is done is whatever the procedures of the tariqa are. People keep asking, “Why is this done?” This is not the procedure of the Naqshibandi Tariqa, as we said, but is done for blessings. There is no harm. May Allah be content, the holy Shaykh Mawlana also came tonight. May Allah raise his station. Allah raises his station when he humbly comes. We thank him. Our Shaykh Mawlana’s door, the door of Rumi (Mawlana), is open to everybody. We are happy when such people come, of course we are glad. May Allah be content. But whoever else comes, we do not shut our door to anybody. Allah Azza wa Jalla would ask, “I am merciful towards all people, I send them all their sustenance, and I accept them all. These people came to your door. Why did you not accept them?” They would ask. This will be asked. That is why our door is open to whoever comes. It is Allah’s door and it is open to everybody. There is no such condition that their state will be good when they come to us. Our state is not very good either. Even if the person who comes is in a bad state in the eyes of people, it does not mean we are also going in their way. They came, meaning Allah sent them. Allah sent them so they can also benefit. If it benefits them, it benefits us more and more. Our Holy Prophet (saw) said in many
hadiths that bringing one person to the right way is better than the whole world. There are many hadiths on this topic. We also read in the hadith the other day. Our Holy Prophet (saw) says, “If a person commits the same sin 70 times a day and repents 70 times, Allah forgives.” He is not insisting on that sin. How is he not insisting on it? He is repenting. He is repenting and a little later his ego overcomes him. His ego beats him and he sins again. Then he repents again. If he commits the same sin 70 times a day and repents 70 times, Allah forgives him. These are the words of our Holy Prophet (saw). He speaks the truth and nobody can deny it.
The door of repentence is open to all. There is no problem if the person does not insist. Insisting means not repenting. Allah forgives after repentence. Moreover, angels do not immediately write a sin committed by a person. They wait for a couple of hours to pass. If one does not finally repent, the angel on the right says, “We waited for so many hours and he did not repent. You can write it now.” But if he repents until that hour, his repentence is accepted and sins are not written. There are some hard people. That does not exist in Islam. The door of Islam is open to all. It calls for everybody to come. Speaking of paradise, there is much space left after all these people enter paradise. Allah would create new people and would grant those empty spaces to those people. So do not fear that a person might come to guidance and our place might tighten. Let them come. Whoever they may be, let them come. Let them say Allah and come. One of our brothers and sisters (ikhwan) was also saying yesterday. Where they are staying is an area a little distant from religion and faith. The lady is leading zikr for them. She says, “Our ikhwan have become strange. They are coming to zikr and do worldly things that do not fit them.” We told her she was bringing them all the way there. The rest is up to Allah. Let them at least do their zikr and pray. If they have committed another sin, that is between them and Allah. Their end will definitely be good. They switched towards righteousness after coming all the way there, so they have entered the right way. It is certain that they did not come in vain. Allah did not send them there for nothing. It will benefit them somehow. As we said, we were very gladtonight. Shaykh Mawlana came. May Allah always send us the good people. We pray that Allah sends us His beloved servants. Thank you. Thanks.
Wa Minallahu Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
92.LET YOUR EGO FOLLOW YOU Friday, May 22, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
May Allah not misguide us from the right path Inshallah. This is the world of trials. They are trying to take you off the road at any time. The duty of Shaitan and the ego is to take the person off the path. Allah created everything for people. Those are the duties of Shaitan and the ego. The more a person does not submit to them and contradicts them, he is that much more of an accepted person in the sight of Allah. That much his station rises, people’s stations rise. Allah Azza wa Jalla says He created humans in the best form. But if they do not do what Allah orders, they become the worst creation. They are with Shaytan and go to hell with him. But if they do what Allah orders and continue on the right path, they rise to the highest stations, rising even above the angels. Because they continue to strive with learning. What they are doing is not easy. They struggle (makes jihad) against Shaitan and ego. They are always in the level of jihad. They are counted in jihad for the sake of Allah. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says what is done against the ego is the Big Strugle (Jihad ulAkbar). It is not easy. He does a hundred tricks every minute to fool and to take away from the path. He tries to deceive people. That is why our Holy Prophet (SAW) says this is Jihad ul-Akbar. If a person wins, they reach the highest stations. It becomes even easier to put his ego under training if he connects to a shaykh, a guide, from childhood. These affairs are easier once there is a guide for the way. It becomes both a support and a help. He is not left alone with their help and makes easier progress. Even if a person is in tariqa, they should not conform to their ego for a minute.
They have to check, “Am I on the right way?” People who are not following their ego can understand this. You should make your ego your maid, not your guide. You should not follow it. It has to follow you for you to make progress. May Allah grant us all to progress in these ways. These should also be taught to people. Because what
Shaitan and ego teach is to satisfy your ego and your desires first. This is all they teach. Those who are against Allah’s religion do everything in their hands just to satisfy their own egos. Children would go to school at age seven or eight in the past. Now they start at two or three years old and struggle until they finish university. They strive so that they follow their ego. This is known to all. Non-Muslims try to save them selves and to follow their ego first. Those who are Islam should think of the one across first. This is the difference. The one who is Muslim is different. Islam is different. This is the difference between Islam and disbelief (kufur). Islam says to think of
Link: https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5425
says.
Muslims don't go out into the streets to march and scream. Sheikh
Effendi used to be very angry at this. Muslims can't go out into the streets and shout and scream, if something happens. You should go to the mosques and pray. As we say, there are many things. Whatever people, who have lost their way do, sometimes our Muslims are imitating them. Then, as we said, like in hadith of our Prophet, you become one of them. If you say you are Muslim and shout, you're not counted as Muslim, you're counted as one of them. A Muslim follows with adab the way ordered by Allah and shown by our Prophet. He doesn't imitate. A Muslim is a dignified person with adab, not a loose one. You shouldn't resemble them - not only by clothing, but actually by sense of logic and behavior.
"Don't resemble non-Muslims and those who have lost their ways" it says. Beware don't imitate them and don't like what is theirs. And there's no need to act against them. We don't accept, don't like and don't want it. Most people feel disgusted when they come across and see screaming and yelling somewhere. Whoever it may be, people don't like it. Therefore, it's wrong to scream and shout. It is said in Qur'an as well "Don't raise your voices". "Don't raise your voice above our Prophet's." When you scream... Our people sometimes shout out takbir too much. This is not nice either. Act with adab. It's not good to do it everywhere because you will put yourself under the bad tongue of people and cause others to hate or curse you. What we preach is the way of adab, this is the way of tariqa.
Allah Azza wa Jall He said in Qur'an ... no. Prophet (saws) in hadith he said, Man tashabbaha bi qawmin fa huwa minhum. Who look like some nations, or some people, who try to be like them, imitate them, he is from them. Of course this before it was for outside looking. Many people in the old time, every nation, every people from their custom you know from where they are, which religion, which country. So, it was not good to imitate [those] who are not from Muslim people. There must be a difference between you and others. But these days it is more important for not imitate them or not like them - to [not] look like them, inside, innerly.
How they have bad ideas for whole human beings They thought they are doing good but their ideas [are] not good. So, we mustn't listen to
them or to imitate them, to make some idea like them. Especially, people [that] they are angry. These people they are making many trick about Islam. They are making, they are swearing for Islam, for our precious, holy, holy thing for Islam. They are saying bad word about this and we, our people they are attacking them. They are doing [the] same thing. They are imitating them and they are coming in trick for what they done these people. In Islam it is [a] religion for, the best religion of Allah. "[The] last religion [is] Islam" He said 'the complete religion.'
So these people, when they are saying bad thing about Islam, bad thing about Muslim, bad thing about every holy thing for us, it is normal. It is normal, we mustn't be angry. Why? Because if they are accepting and they are loving our holy things they must be Muslim. So, when they are not accepting, they can do what they do. So we are not [to] imitate them, and be make the same thing for them. Even [if] there is many crazy people, they are swearing for some Prophet also. We accept all Prophet[s]. So when these people they are doing every[thing] they can do, every bad thing, they can do what they like because we are not responsible for them. Only we are responsible [for those] who are in Islam. But other people they are, they are making the biggest sin to be, [to] put partner with Allah or not accept Allah or they are doing, worshipping idols. They are doing anything outside of Islam they are, this is the most important and the biggest sin. There is hadith: It is no sin behind 'kufr' (...) unbelief. Unbeliever, it is the biggest sin. It is the biggest sin because when these people, if they doing the worst thing before Islam and [then] they accept Islam, only Allah asking for them after Islam. Before Islam all this [is] forgiven for them. So for this these, our people, they are imitate them and they are try to do same what they do. We know they are not, they don't have any 'musamiha' (tolerance). No tolerance. We know this, and we see everywhere in the world they are doing the worst not taking nations from earth. They not leaving any Muslims in Europe after 100 years. Not leaving any, only this last century the Muslim come to Europe also. But before, No! But also, it is not, not bad for us, because it is normal. We cannot say "how they can do this, how can they do that?" It is normal because they are outside of belief. So we are only must imitate - not imitate them. Only following Islam. Islam, because it is accepting in
our country [for there] to be people with another religion. They are, they have right, they have to be in safety in our country to work and worship what they like. Only we saying, we invite them to Islam. If they accept, OK accept. If not accept it is, they are free. It is not, now it is this. Since Prophet (saws) - same. It was like this. In Iran there was worshipping Majusi, they worshipping fire. And there was Jewish, there was Christian there was many thing. In Ottoman time, same.
Even, once when Fatih Sultan Mehmet who conquered Istanbul, he was going through Europe and opening. There was a Serbian king and he was between Ottoman and between Hungary. Hungary it was Catholic and the Orthodox - Serbian. And he sent some messenger to ask how maybe, because Orthodox and Catholic, it was like enemy, more than Muslim! And he try to ask maybe if he [can] help this Hungarian against Turk. They will be, there is peace between them. He sent for this king. He said to him 'If we help you, how you will be treating us?' He said, "We will try to finish all this Orthodox and then crush all your yes, everything for [the] church and.." And he asked for Sultan Mehmet. He said, "We are, the religion, Islam. We invite people to Islam. If they accept, accept. If not accept, they are free. We will leave their Church and what they worshipping. We can be in the mosque."
It was like this, but we are, what we say from beginning. It is normal for non-believers. We cannot imitate them. They must imitate us. We have the adab of Prophet (saws) and teaching of Allah Azza wa Jalla and tariqat they are teaching this. These days there are many people they forget this. They try to imitate what they done, the worst thing. Allah make us safe from these people.

85.ALLAH’S ENDLESS KNOWLEDGE OCEANS Thursday, May 14, 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 Daghestani, madad ya Sheikh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani rrajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. "Wamā ūtītum mina al-ʿilmi illā qalīlan" (17:85)
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying "How much knowledge you assume to have acquired, I have given you a little". Not only a person, if whole mankind acquires knowledge, it is as much as water that remains on a needle when it is put into and taken out of an ocean. The Hadith of our Prophet says so. In other words, the knowledge of this world is not real knowledge. Nevertheless, it is something shown by Allah, given by Allah. A person shouldn't think it comes from himself, from his ego. Whatever mankind learned slowly slowly since Adam, alaihi salam, all is what Allah taught.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying for Bani Israel "Walaqad ikhtarnāhum 'alā 'ilmin 'alā l-ālamīna" (44:32) We have given knowledge to this nation above other people. Allah Azza wa Jalla gives, He gives knowledge to whomever He wants. However much knowledge He gives, it is little. What they say qaleel it means very little. There is no need to boast and be proud of your knowledge. Everything is from Allah. You should know it so that you are thankful. You must be thankful for everything - that Allah has given you this knowledge, that you are being useful to people, so that you say you do it for Allah's sake. Benefit will come from this. Otherwise, if you acquired knowledge not for your akhirah but to satisfy your ego you have become alim but your knowledge has
no benefit.
Mankind nowadays in worldly knowledge... In old times, people learned few things in a thousand years. Then they learned few things in a hundred years. They then brought up new inventions. And in the last century, thousand things appear every year. In the last 20 years, inventions became a couple times more. People now assume they reached the peak. You didn't reach anything. Everything works with permission of Allah. If there's no permission of Allah, neither technology, nor electricity, nor machinery can be of use. Nothing can work if Allah doesn't give His secret. What you see now is nothing next to Allah. There are knowledges much beyond these. The more you learn still it is very little. This shows the greatness of Allah and the weakness of mankind, shows how limited people's knowledge is. There is a limit they can't pass.
Of course, can there be knowledge more than this? A man of 1,000 years ago or 100 years ago wouldn't believe what they'd see now. Allah's knowledge is more. It can't be measured. A man can't reach its border. The greatness of Allah, Azimu Shan. Allah cannot be comprehended. Therefore, these learned people should show humbleness, bow to the greatness of Allah and be thankful. Today we are saying -“wa fawqa kulli dhī 'ilmin 'alīm.” (12:76) "Wamā ūtītum mina al-ʿilmi illā qalīlan" (17:85) Allah said - what you have from knowledge, from high knowledge, it is only very little. Prophet (saws) saying - all this, what you are seeing from knowledge, all, not only for one people, for whole human being, it is just like taking needle and putting in water and take it out, from oceans, how it will be on this water, it is less than this - Prophet (saws) saying. What all human beings taking from Adam (as) until Judgment Day, it is like this. And it is gift from Allah. For some people, Allah give them this to make them, to test them - how they will be.
Allah said, and it is real when you see from beginning up to end, and now even, for Bani Israel - “Walaqadi khtarnāhum 'alā 'ilmin 'alā al- ālamīna” (44:32) We chose this people by giving them knowledge. They are chosen by knowledge. This is what Allah give them, but they are not doing for Allah, only for their ego. But Allah also saying - what We
give, only very little. What you see in this world, before they said, from every thousand year, maybe new thing coming, the people making new thing. After in hundred year, they making few thing. And since one hundred year, they are doing every year thousands of discoveries or inventions. And since twenty years, even they are more making hundred thousands. And people, they are thinking - we are getting the highest stage from knowledge. And they are coming against Allah. They are not accepting ruling of what Allah put for people, human beings. They are not even accepting Allah. This is not knowledgeable knowledge, it is bad knowledge. Because the highest thing, what you have here, all by secret of Allah. He said," Be", it is be, it must be. If He said, "don't be", nothing can work. And this is secret they don't know. They thought this electricity coming by themself. There is secret in this electricity, there is secret in petrol, other, all this, what Allah give this secret for this to work, it is working. There is more high technology, also there is for people, they are not knowing yet about it. If there is time, Allah give them. But if no time, it will be not.
But it is, what we seeing here, it is very very little. Because before hundred year ago, if you say for this, what we have now, people cannot believe. But also, maybe coming to mind, people, they are accepting. But knowledge of Allah, it is like ocean, and you cannot come to limit of this knowledge. This is what Allah showing people to be hopeless in front of Allah and accepting His Mightiness. Who are real knowledge people, they accept this. Because this is what we see from electricity, from this all, this high technology. It is nothing. Allah, He sometimes giving volcano, giving earthquake, giving flood. The highest technology cannot do anything. And it is just warning. But the real knowledge from Allah, people they are become like astonishing, cannot do anything. The Mightiness of Allah, it is nobody can reach to limit of this.
So, Allah He choose people to be knowledge, and he choose people to not be knowledge. But who was chosen to be knowledge people, they must be humble and accepting Allah's order - To be benefit for them and for human being. They thought they are doing something benefit for human being, but it is for them bad and for the human being also
bad. Only what intention for accept the Creator, Allah Azza wa Jalla. And to show people good way, it is acceptable knowledge. Other, nothing. We are all weak creatures. Allah (awj), He created us also human being. He can create us another kind of creature. We must be thankful for Him. Thank you for Allah.

86.LAILAT AL-MI’RĀJ
Friday, May 15, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Audhu billahi min ash-shaitani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu was salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wal-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghestani, madad ya Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says in Holy Qur'an: "Subhan alladhi asra bi abdihi lailan minal masjidil-harami ila l-masjidi l-aqsa" (17:1) (Exalted is He, who took His servant by night from Masjid al Haram to Masjid al Aqsa) This verse shows the importance of this night. Surat Al-Isra is in the middle of the Holy Qur'an. Allah Azza wa Jalla. Subhan (exalted) can only be said to Allah Azza wa Jalla. How Great, how Majestic is Allah Azza wa Jalla! Subhan is a tasbeeh. Tasbeeh is for Allah, not for any other creature. Everything is praising Allah. Each and every atom of the world and the universe is praising Allah. Tasbih is the highest thing. Subhan is more Majestic, higher than that. Because it is such a miracle that no human being can do it. Allah Azza wa Jalla made it special for Our Prophet (sas) so that people know the Majesty of Allah. For them to know how to praise our Prophet (sas).
The Prophet (sas) was not an ordinary human being. Today's ignorant people say that he (sas) was an ordinary person like us. He had a mission which he completed and then left. Many people say this. The ones, who say this, thanks to Allah, are not so many in our country but the people, who claim they know Qur'an say it more. Not all but there are some people, who say this. Yesterday a scholar came mashaAllah he had noor (light). He said: "There are 1%, 2% or 3% people they think all these scholars or other people are the same. But shaitan is making their voices heard by everyone so that people think they are all the same. Allah forbid they have belief (iman) thousand times more, they love, respect the Prophet (sas). A few bad ones come out. People think they are all the same. Do not think that way. Arabs also have more affection to our Prophet (sas). I mean if a couple of people speak nonsense do not think everyone is like them. There were thousand, hundred thousands of scholars there were some bad scholars among
them. When you look at the numbers it is like zero but of course their books and words spread as a fitnah. It turned out to be fitnah for people.
Allah Azza wa Jalla praises Isra and Mi'raj so much. Some people say it was a dream, some say it isn't possible that he (sas) ascended with his body and came back. These are the ones, who claim to be scholars. If it was a dream, everybody is seeing so many things in his dreams every night. Then, it would neither be a wonder, nor a miracle. It is the miracle of Allah, it is an incident that shows Allah's love for the Prophet (sas) and shows that he is a chosen one above other people. Our Prophet (sas) reached to a point where no man ever reached and will not be able to reach. No one ever reached to that point before. Even Gabriel said; "If I take 1 step further I will get burned and turn into ashes."
After our Prophet (sas) reached to that point and came back, although his body seemed like a human, with the inspiration and manifestation there our Prophet (sas) went far beyond a normal human being. Nobody can say; "He was also a human being, he was ordinary". He is different, He is the Beloved servant of Allah, the Beloved being, our prophet (sas). This is a holy night. It is both a gift of Allah to the Prophet (sas) and also to the people who believe, respect, honour this night as a holy night and pray, do charity. They take from Allah's favours. Their prayers will be accepted. They will have a good life. They reach the real life. Real life! This is an illusory life. Real life is the akhirah life.
On such nights as this one a window opens to akhirah, from there people receive from the favours of Allah. These holy nights are the respected nights. It is mentioned also in Qur'an - Laylatu l-Qadr, Isra, Mi'raj, Shaban, Raghaib night, Bara'at night, are all holy nights. They are the favours of Allah to us. Generous, the most generous among generous ones, Allah gives people chances, so that people take from His favours. The more you take the more Allah will be pleased. What we want is Allah's pleasure. Allah will be pleased with you. Allah will be happy with you. Accept his favour, don't reject it. Take! He is giving. Take as much as you can. The Arabs have a saying: When a man is greedy, they say be greedy for the akhirah, not this world. So, as much as you desire the favours of Allah, as much as you want, Allah Azza wa Jalla will be more pleased with you.
So, this is one of those nights. InshaAllah we pray the tasbeeh prayer. We visit the Holy Hair of the beard of our Prophet (sas). It is a piece of him (sas) who reached to such stations that the inspiration, gift and beauty will definitely reach to us also with Allah's permission. Even an atom of the Prophet (sas) is enough for people, the world. Allah Azza wa Jalla gave favours. The Holy Beard of the Prophet (sas) is everywhere, thanks to Allah, in our mosques and masjids. Allah's wisdom reached so many places. It is a piece of our Prophet (sas). It is a heritage from him (sas). Inshallah the blessing of this night may be upon us. May Allah bless it. May Allah make us reach many more years.
Inshallah Allah sends a Sahib, who will save us from the bad situation that Muslim world is in now. Mahdi alaihi s-salam comes during such times. Not when everything is going well. He comes when people are miserable, when there is bloodshed everywhere. Otherwise if he comes at a normal time what will he save? Now the Muslim world is devastated. InshaAllah he is coming soon. Allah makes us reach him quickly InshaAllah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla, He is saying in, there is Surat Al-'Isra He [is] praising Himself saying: subhana lladhi asra bi abdihi laylan mina l- masjidi l-harami ila l-masjidi l-aqsa lladhi barakna hawlahu. (17:1) Subhan - meaning the highest praising for Allah. [The root of] 'Subhan' [is] coming from 'Tasbih' also. Everything [is] praising/ Tasbih - Yusabbih. Skies, earth, universe, every atom [is] praising Allah, making tasbih. Without tasbih, nobody, nothing can exist. And He is praising Himself by this; what [was] given for Prophet; the highest station to invite the Prophet (saws) to, first to Masjida lAsqa, Jerusalem, after to His Divine Presence.
And it is [a] miracle [that] happened by physically, physical body - Not only with spiritual. No! Because if it is spiritual it is not [a] miracle. Everybody [when] sleeping seeing something. Many people they are seeing very good dreams, but it is a dream. Dream [is] for everybody, you cannot say [it is] miracle. Miracle, and it is only for this miracle only for Prophet (saws). There is millions of miracles for Prophets. But, for the highest what Allah give for Prophet (saws) [is] one of the highest, the biggest miracle - this Isra' wal-Mi'raj.
And there is people they claim themself they are understanding [the] language of Qur'an. But they make fitna and they saying the Prophet, he is 'prophet Muhammed (saws) he is just ordinary human being like
us. And he got some mission and he finished [his] mission and he is now dead. You cannot benefit from dead people.' These people, they are... they are dead. And they are some of them they said [they are] Arab but not Arab! There are thousands of scholars, there are thousands of good scholars in Arab. These are a few people they are saying, showing themselves as they are the real people and shaytan supports them. From a hundred thousand of ulama, scholars, Arabs praising Prophet (saws) and his miracle and his teaching and accepting his highest station. He is not ordinary man or human being. But only few of them they put them and they make fitna. This is shaytan and his followers and they are ignorant people.
Because when Prophet (saws) he got the highest ikram, gift from Allah, nobody before him got it. And the human being, they cannot be [able to] reach for what Prophet (saws) reached in one night. Even it is; when he went and came back from Divine Presence it was his bed still warm. And he was going around all universe and the seven Heavens and he went to the Paradise and he looked for hell also, for Judgement Day, for everything He Allah showed him. And he was after to [a] place where nobody from human being can be there. Even angel Jibril he couldn't pass one more step because he said 'If I pass one more I will be burn'. So he, Prophet (saws) he was in a place [where] his body, everything, he [was] full of blessed and special things to be in Divine presence of Allah. And how you say 'he is like us?' 'He is a human being like us'? 'He is from..' No! You cannot be. You must be, respect for Prophet (saws) and it is surah in the middle of Qur'an - to show these people how Allah praising Prophet (saws). We are all ordered to praise Prophet (saws) and to get blessed from him.
Allah 'Azza wa Jalla by His Prophet, sake of Prophet gives us many occasions to be blessed. One of them [is] this night: it is Isra wal-Mi'raj night. It is very blessed night. There is many nights like this, maybe four [or] five. It is, offered from Allah 'Azza wa Jalla, the Most Generous. He loves and He is happy when people take and accept this, what He gives. He is happy and this is what our aim [is] in our life. What is our aim in our life? Our aim [is] to make Allah happy with us. If He is happy with us, everything else [is] nothing. But if He is not happy with us we are in trouble. This is what. And He is happy with us when He gives something and you take. He is happy. He is not stingy. Never! This cannot be for Allah. He [is] happy [when you] take. You take, He [is] more happy with you. Take this from His generosity, His endless pleasures. He is more happy with you. What He give you, accept and take! And be safe.
Alhamdulillah, this night insha'Allah we will make tasbih, salat at- tassabih and we make ziyarat for Prophet's (saws) hair of [his] beard, and this beard coming from Prophet (saws). And he, it was in Divine Presence of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla. Even [though it is] one very small thing but Alhamdulillah, he who, we are, all who visiting; they are blessed with this. Because, Alhamdulill─üh there is wisdom. Many mosques in our country, [in] other countries, they have [a] piece of Prophet's (saws) beard or hair. It is very blessed thing, Alhamdulillah. So insha 'Allah his barakat coming for us. We are happy with him, happy with Allah to send us this gift. Alhamdulillah, tonight insha'Allah we making this and dua, praying acceptable this night.
You can pray for yourself, for your family, for your children to be safe in iman (faith). And Allah save the nation of Islam, human beings. Send somebody to save us! And it is really very bad days and, [our] saviour he is Mehdi alayhi s-salam. Mehdi alayhi s-salam not coming when it is nice days. No need, no need to save anybody. But when it is bad, war, blood, fire, fitna, people they are in miserable way we are [in] this time - he coming. Insha'Allah his time very soon Insha'Allah. Ya Allah make them to be with him and to reach the blessed days, the - it is like Prophet's days 'asru sa'ada' - Century of happiness. Insha'Allah. Insha'Allah soon Insha'Allah Allah make us in [the] right way with our brothers, with our 'ikhwan' and Muslim, mu'min insha'Allah. To be, Allah give guidance for human being also to be in right way insha'Allah.

87.BE WITH THE TRUTH
Saturday, May 16, 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 Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
If you want to be relaxed in this world, you can be with truthful people only, those whose personality and actions match each other. "Ya ayyuha llathina amanu ittaqu Allaha wakunu m'a s-sadiqin." (9:119) The order of Allah is to fear Allah and to be with truthful people. Both are the good commands of Allah. They are for your benefit. Allah is not in need of anyone. He won't receive any benefit. Even if all your actions are good, they have neither benefit nor harm for Allah. Both their harm and benefit is for you.
Therefore, everybody knows in this life that going with a liar is not liked by anyone. Just like disliking a liar, you should also be a truthful one so that people can be friends with you. Be a desired person. There is no need to lie for the sake of someone. Our Prophet says when a person starts telling lies, slowly slowly he is written as a liar in the presence of Allah. And a true person is written as a truthful one in the presence of Allah by telling the truth. Because when a man starts lying, he tells another lie to support his previous lie. Going like this until his whole his life is built upon lies. He will have wasted it. He won't be a beneficent man. And its harm will be more for himself.
The truthful are the Prophets. Sahabas (companions) are truthful, Awliya are truthful, believers are truthful. Be with them. No need to go after those who promise you something everyday and don't keep their promises. We must follow the way of Allah, the way shown by Allah. This is the beautiful way to be in comfort in this life and to be saved in akhirah, the real life, haqq-ul hayat, the life of akhirah. Holy Quran is the book of all mankind, all universe. "Wa la ratbin wa la yabisin illa fi kitabin mubeen."(6:59) Everything is there. There are short things but they show the way too. They are beautiful things. They keep light in
people's lives. Some people are blind, they don't see. That is different. But this is enough for people even though it's short.
Today we are saying, [it is an] order of Allah, holy verse: "Ya ayyuha lladhina amanu ittaqu Allaha wa kunu m'a s-sadiqin" (9:119) Allah ordering us to be afraid from Allah. How to [be] afraid? To not do wrong things, to see He is seeing us, what we are doing. He is, everything He knowing, nothing can hide. Second thing - Be with trustful people who are saying truth, people. Don't be with liars. And this is for our, human being's benefit. Allah [is] showing us these good ways because for Allah [there is] no benefit from what we doing. We done, we do, we will do - No benefit at all for Allah. No harm also for Him. He is Creator. Everything for you, for people, for human beings. Allah showing good way and to be with good people, not liar people. It is even for normal people, it is good.
So, don't be liar! Because, hadith as-Sharif, Prophet (saws) saying: There are people, they are speaking, lying ones. After [that] lying again and they it is like habit for them and they will be written in Divine Presence as liars. And other who say truth, he saying truth every time saying truth. Allah write in Divine Presence they are true man, good man. Because when you saying truth, [it is] true - no need to put another truth near it; it is OK. But when somebody lying and saying lie he must put another one near it. Because it is weak and it is not enough, he will put another, another, another until whole life he will be in, built on lies.
This is you must be away from these people who are promising and not doing, and they are lying [their] whole life. You must be away from these people. Allah ordered to be with true-saying people. And it is easy for people to live with good people, not easy to live with not trustful (trustworthy) people. It's for our benefit.
And the Qur'an Azimu sh-sha'an, everything in this life [is] written on it, inside it. Inside [the] Qur'an, Holy Qur'an. And Allah give us way, showing us [the] way how to be happy here and hereafter. Even small orders but it is only for our benefit. Allah, as we said, all human beings if they are right nothing good for Him, no benefit for Him or even all they are wrong way, also no harm for Allah. Only for us and He is Creator and He is showing us how to be with whom we must be and who we must follow. Who ... Be with good people, trustful people. Don't be with other people and you [will] be happy and here and hereafter also. And we must learn to say [the] true - to not learn at all to
say a lie. To not be habit for you to be [a] liar. It is not good to writing in Divine Presence 'This man liar!' It is shame for these people!
Allah keep us in the right way, and write us in good people, trustful people in Divine Presence.

88.THE HIMMA OF AWLIYA Sunday, May 17, 2015
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Many thanks are due, Shaykh Mawlana’s passing anniversary went well with his support (himma). His miracle (karama) and himma arrives in time every time. The himma of awliya always comes to aid in time. Hadrat Shaykh Mawlana said that the power of awliya increase more after their passing away. It is truely so. People come the same way, even more people come to Shaykh Mawlana’s maqam (tomb) with yearning. All kinds of people are attracted to that place. They come to visit with the love of Allah, the love of Holy Prophet (SAW), and the love of the Awliya. Their himma is present when you visit. So when you go to visit the awliya, ask them the path of Allah with adab (manners). They are people whom Allah sent amongst people as a nur (light), as people who show beautiful light in this dark zulumat (darkness). May Allah help us Muslims for their sake Inshallah. Hadrat Shaykh Mawlana’s himma is enduring. Ask for himma. May Allah increase our faith (iman) with their himma, as that is the most important thing. May it be true iman and strong iman Inshallah. May there be generations that obey and know Islam until Judgment Day, and may they be with iman, Islam and blessings (baraka) Inshallah. Inshallah, may they be under protection. May Allah be content with all of you.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
89.DO NOT SHOW THE FORBIDDEN (HARAM) AS PERMISSIBLE (HALAL) Monday, May 18, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah (JJ) says, “O people! Do not show the forbidden (haram) as permissible (halal).” Eat of what halal Allah has given. Halal is halal and haram is haram. You will have committed a sin if you call a haram halal according to your own head. You can benefit from the favors given by Allah as long as they are halal. Allah (JJ) likes His favors being evident on His servant. If Allah has treated you, do not hide it. You may benefit from it. You can thank Allah. Allah (JJ) increases as you are thankful. You can use it comfortably if Allah has provided, but not by burrowing here and there and wasting. It is not haram, it is not a sin, on the contrary it is a good deed. Some people think it is a sin according to Sufism. No, it is not a sin. If you are to become a Sufi, fix your own actions and attitudes first. Do not be interested in this or that person’s posessions as a Sufi. People might be deceived by your Sufi appearance and trust in you. Do not betray their trust. You are not to have a bad course of action as that is the sin. It is not a sin to use the favors Allah has provided. As we said, what is more important than our appearance is cleaning our inside. Allah Azza wa Jalla says “Eat and drink of my favors but do not waste.” Shaykh Mawlana also used to say, “Eat.” However, when you eat do not eat to fill your stomach. The Hadith Sharif says not to fill the stomach. Get up before filling your stomach. We become full and then eat one more time. One of our ikhwan (brothers and sisters) relates: a father and his son were at an invitation. The man said he was full. While insisting, “Take this and that,” he said he was full up to here (showing his throat). Then dessert
arrived, and they said, “Here you are.” When his son said, “Dessert has already been served,” his father said he counted fourty morsels above here (pointing to his throat).
People also show greed, and it is not good either. Chew well and taste. Eat two pieces instead of a kilogram, but eat like a human while tasting that delicious food. Every food has a different taste. It would be good to eat your fill without going extreme. That is also a blessing of Allah. Allah gave you a blessing, but do not eat as much as ten people. Everything has a limit and boundary. Neither go extreme, nor decrease completely. The middle way is the best. Benefit from the favors Allah has given. Be thankful to Allah. Allah increases then.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
90.DO NOT LEAVE FOR TOMORROW Wednesday, May, 20, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “Do not leave things to be done for later. Do not leave for tomorrow.” Becasue everyday has a different duty. If you do not do one thing and leave for tomorrow, how are you to do the thing of tomorrow anyway? How are you to do two things when one is not done? That is why, if there is a work or a duty you should immediately do it that day. Do not make yourselves indebted. It is not good to owe. The nature of people now is to take a loan or to like more things that are harmful to themselves. It is not good to take a loan. It is a burden. It is a harmful thing, both internally and externally. If you have something due, do not leave for tomorrow. Do not make yourselves indebted, especially in the sight of Allah. Because in worldy matters, a person can strive and the situation might change. But for the hereafter, if Shaitan captures one time, he does not leave. He whispers as, “You can do it tomorrow. You are young afterall. There are so many days left. The days of Allah do not end.” While thinking you can do and manage tomorrow, one obligation becomes two tomorrow. If you think of doing it later, it becomes three and five. Just then, it might happen that life is over without doing a thing. Whatever there is, you need to do it instantyl. Never postpone those things if you are able to and if Allah gives the power. To procrastinate is from Shaitan. It is of recognized worth to hurry in good works. They say to be in haste is from Shaitan, but shaitan does not want good works. Shaitan delays good works and does not make it hurried. But if there is another bad thing, he makes it done immediately. He tells you to do it in a hurry, then you regret afterwards. Regret does not apply to good works. Do
the good and do not leave it for later. Do not say, “We can fast later. We can give later.” Do it immediately if possible. Laziness is an easier thing for a person to get used to. Do not leave your ego at ease. Always oppose it. Let it be trained directly. You would get used to it if you pay each time within its time. You should think of performing prayer (namaz) and paying your due when the time for prayer arrives. Whatever other good deeds and works there might be, they should also be done in their own time. Over time, a person starts thinking of the coming period even before its time arrives. As we said, the ego undergoes training. It goes according to how it is used to. That is why, do not get used to laziness and procrastination. That is the greatest illness. Days pass as you think of doing it tomorrow. As you think of getting up a little later for Morning Prayer (Sabah Namaz), you find that the sun has risen over your head and you missed your prayer. You regret it afterwards, but it is too late. May Allah give us all this strength. Many people ask for dua to be able to get up for prayer. Inshallah. May Allah (JJ) give us that strength not to delay prayers and supplications Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
91.MANNERS OF TARIQA Friday, May 22, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our tariqa is the Naqshbandi Tariqa. The procedure, manner, and zikr of our tariqa is silent. We also do it silently when we do the khatm (congregational zikr). The Khatm Khwajagan is one part in the night of zikr. This is done according to the procedures coming from our Naqshibandi Masters, all the way from our Holy Prophet (saw), coming from Hadrat Abu Bakr. What we do afterwards is imitating the 40 tariqas, meaning we are doing loud zikr, hadra, to receive their blessings (baraka) too. We are not presenting it as the procedures of the Naqshbandi Tariqa. Shaykh Mawlana, may Allah raise his station, used to say at the end of every khatm, “Now we will do loud zikr in imitation of the 40 tariqas to receive their blessings too.” So what is done is whatever the procedures of the tariqa are. People keep asking, “Why is this done?” This is not the procedure of the Naqshibandi Tariqa, as we said, but is done for blessings. There is no harm. May Allah be content, the holy Shaykh Mawlana also came tonight. May Allah raise his station. Allah raises his station when he humbly comes. We thank him. Our Shaykh Mawlana’s door, the door of Rumi (Mawlana), is open to everybody. We are happy when such people come, of course we are glad. May Allah be content. But whoever else comes, we do not shut our door to anybody. Allah Azza wa Jalla would ask, “I am merciful towards all people, I send them all their sustenance, and I accept them all. These people came to your door. Why did you not accept them?” They would ask. This will be asked. That is why our door is open to whoever comes. It is Allah’s door and it is open to everybody. There is no such condition that their state will be good when they come to us. Our state is not very good either. Even if the person who comes is in a bad state in the eyes of people, it does not mean we are also going in their way. They came, meaning Allah sent them. Allah sent them so they can also benefit. If it benefits them, it benefits us more and more. Our Holy Prophet (saw) said in many
hadiths that bringing one person to the right way is better than the whole world. There are many hadiths on this topic. We also read in the hadith the other day. Our Holy Prophet (saw) says, “If a person commits the same sin 70 times a day and repents 70 times, Allah forgives.” He is not insisting on that sin. How is he not insisting on it? He is repenting. He is repenting and a little later his ego overcomes him. His ego beats him and he sins again. Then he repents again. If he commits the same sin 70 times a day and repents 70 times, Allah forgives him. These are the words of our Holy Prophet (saw). He speaks the truth and nobody can deny it.
The door of repentence is open to all. There is no problem if the person does not insist. Insisting means not repenting. Allah forgives after repentence. Moreover, angels do not immediately write a sin committed by a person. They wait for a couple of hours to pass. If one does not finally repent, the angel on the right says, “We waited for so many hours and he did not repent. You can write it now.” But if he repents until that hour, his repentence is accepted and sins are not written. There are some hard people. That does not exist in Islam. The door of Islam is open to all. It calls for everybody to come. Speaking of paradise, there is much space left after all these people enter paradise. Allah would create new people and would grant those empty spaces to those people. So do not fear that a person might come to guidance and our place might tighten. Let them come. Whoever they may be, let them come. Let them say Allah and come. One of our brothers and sisters (ikhwan) was also saying yesterday. Where they are staying is an area a little distant from religion and faith. The lady is leading zikr for them. She says, “Our ikhwan have become strange. They are coming to zikr and do worldly things that do not fit them.” We told her she was bringing them all the way there. The rest is up to Allah. Let them at least do their zikr and pray. If they have committed another sin, that is between them and Allah. Their end will definitely be good. They switched towards righteousness after coming all the way there, so they have entered the right way. It is certain that they did not come in vain. Allah did not send them there for nothing. It will benefit them somehow. As we said, we were very gladtonight. Shaykh Mawlana came. May Allah always send us the good people. We pray that Allah sends us His beloved servants. Thank you. Thanks.
Wa Minallahu Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
92.LET YOUR EGO FOLLOW YOU Friday, May 22, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
May Allah not misguide us from the right path Inshallah. This is the world of trials. They are trying to take you off the road at any time. The duty of Shaitan and the ego is to take the person off the path. Allah created everything for people. Those are the duties of Shaitan and the ego. The more a person does not submit to them and contradicts them, he is that much more of an accepted person in the sight of Allah. That much his station rises, people’s stations rise. Allah Azza wa Jalla says He created humans in the best form. But if they do not do what Allah orders, they become the worst creation. They are with Shaytan and go to hell with him. But if they do what Allah orders and continue on the right path, they rise to the highest stations, rising even above the angels. Because they continue to strive with learning. What they are doing is not easy. They struggle (makes jihad) against Shaitan and ego. They are always in the level of jihad. They are counted in jihad for the sake of Allah.
