Suhbah 2015: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (17/30)

d when he was old and ill. There people they was coming to him to make him not feel sorry, to not be, to not be afraid and they was surprising and they saw him very happy, smiling and saying poem also. Saying: "Ghadan alqa l-ahibba Muhammadin wa Sahbah." This is meaning: "Tomorrow, we will meet our beloved one,
Sayyidina Muhammad (sas) and his Companions So, we are very happy. Why you are coming, you are sad. Don't be sad, I am going to where I was looking for this." And this is difference between two kinds of people. These people looking for real life, eternal life. And when they changing this world, they going to real life in the best place. Other people also, they are changing and they will not be free if they are believe or not believe. Also they have eternal life but they're going to wrong side, very bad side, worst than this world. They are gambling but they will be, they will be a loser.
Allah Azza wa Jalla, only want from these people if they are doing anything - not worshipping, not doing any good thing from these people. Don't object about religion and say: La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadan Rasul Allah At the end, you can be in Paradise. But if you are not believe in this and you are making bad word about religion Islam, you will be loser forever and this is only for Ramadan we say this, because many people they cannot, maybe, fasting. They cannot pray, they cannot do anything. Still Allah, He has Mercy and only what He wants is - don't make any god with Me and accept this: la ilaha ill Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah. Don't gamble, only two words and you be saved. And this life, it is like dream. Only, when you are in grave or in Judgment Day, you will be awake and you will be sorry. So, it is advice for whole human being.

113.PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN OPPRESSORS Monday, July 6, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu was-salamu 'ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur. Madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
The Sultans in the past, also now some of them are compassionate and smart people, some are oppressors. According to his station, he becomes a benefit to his nation. There are so many sultans who oppress their people. May Allah not take away the ones, who rule us. May Allah make such people lasting InshaAllah. They came and told one of the Sultans in the old times they gave him good tidings. This man, who you did not like he died. He said this with great joy. Sultan was a smart man, so he said "If he died we will also die. Death is for everyone. So you cannot be happy if he is dead. Allah gives everyone a life span He completed that and died. If we were not going to die, we could be
happy of his death. But we will all die." So a smart person would not feel happy.
But when an oppressor dies, people by getting rid of him, become happy about his death. There was Hajjaj az-Zalim in old times. He lived after the Companions' time. The Umayyids sent him to Iraq as a governor. They deserved him of course - they also oppressed people both the ones who deserved and the ones who did not deserve. He heard about an awliya there. He called him, saying "O holy man, pray for me." He prayed saying Bismillahi rRahmani r-Rahim. After he prayed he said; "Allah, take the life of this Hajjaj." He said "I asked you to pray for me but you are cursing me." He said "No, I prayed for you. As long as you live you will oppress people. It will be worse for you. Your account book will be full of oppression. It is better for you to die. That is the benefit, that's why I prayed for you this way." There is a saying: the sleep of an oppressor is like worshiping. Because when he sleeps he can't do anything, he cannot oppress. So, the more he sleeps the better it is for him. They say the sleep of a scholar is also worshiping, because the scholar is taking a rest. But for the oppressor the more he sleeps the more people are at rest. Allah does not want to oppress anyone. He does not oppress anyone. But when people deserve He sends them such oppressors. May Allah protect us.
The greatest oppressor is our ego. People oppress themselves, that is the biggest oppression. Allah tells the good for you, you leave that and oppress yourself. May Allah give all of us understanding, give us a mind so that we understand these things and stay away from oppression. Old time people, governors or sultans or kings they was, many of them ruling, even now also, they're following their mood. Very few between them they are good men. Who are they good, their name - saying until Qiyamah, "This was good, this was not good", but most of them of course, to find good one, it is not easy. Old time one of kings, they was coming and telling him, "Oh, this man who was very bad man, you don't like him, he died. We are happy for this." Of course he is bad one, when bad one dying it is good but this man he was clever to not make this only for his ego. He said to be happy with somebody death it is not acceptable too much. Because we are also... we will die, not only this man. So maybe good he die but to be happy and he die to
say, it is not good idea. Because death for everybody. if we are not be died, die, so we will be happy. But he die, also we will die. And he, of course because he was bad one it is good for people but not to be happy for like this, he will die and we're live. Too many people they are of course, they're oppressors. As we said, whole history, many of kings, they was good, bad, but they was oppressors also. People was suffering from this. But this also from Allah, Allah sent them. Like Hajjaju z-Zalim. There was one governor, time of Umawi, they sent him to Iraq. Iraq people they was all time making trouble. And Allah sent them this man and he was oppressor. He was killing innocent and bad one. Only he was not looking too much. And he was oppressing people, people they was not happy with him. Once he hear there was one awliya, friend of Allah, saint, and he ask him, "O good man, make dua for me, pray for me". And he make dua and he said, "O Allah take the soul of this man Hajjaju z-Zalim, let him to die". He was "What are you doing? I'm saying to you make dua for me, you make against me?" He said "No, not against you this is for you good, because every minute you are in life you getting more burden on you. Make more oppressing for people you are killing more people, you are making bad thing for people, it is not good for you. Better for you to be, save yourself, as much quickly you die so you will be better for you, be for people".
The people they deserve but their burden coming on you. And Allah giving people what they deserve. And people oppressing themselves. Allah not oppressing anybody. Allah is Merciful and He showing human being good thing. They're trying, and they're doing, not trying, doing against, exactly against what Allah saying. Opposite, direct opposite. And it is time of Mahdi and the... this Judgement Day coming and we are seeing maybe from sometimes they used to it we said people they're not... getting more angry, they're not caring what happened, what are going in this world. But it is really going, growing this, every badness coming to top. And it is... it must be like this for Qiyamah, Judgement Day to come, to Mahdi (as) come. It must be like this and people they're oppressing/oppressors and they will get what they deserve.
Allah keep us away from these people and to be in Mercy of Allah. Not
following our ego, oppressor ego, because first thing doing, it is oppressing ourself.

114.ALLAH HELPS THOSE WHO HELP HIM Tuesday, July 7, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min as-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
May Allah put us together with good people always. InshaAllah we will be with them. Because now it is the end of times. The world is corrupted. Corruption and disorder are everywhere now. Allah, when Resurrection Day is approaching all the badness and evil comes out - it is being cooked so that Mahdi alaihi s-salam should come at last. The one, who helps Allah, Allah helps him. Allah says: "wa la yansurann Allah man yansuruhu" (22:40) (Allah will surely support those, who support him). Our intention, like Allah says, is to be with Allah. We do not want anything for our ego. May Allah make Islam victorious. Mahdi alaihi s-salam should come, there is no other way. You think people will get better and the number of Muslims are increasing but it gets worse. They make bigger corruption. They do
what the non-Muslims do not do against Islam.
Islam is a religion of mercy, a religion of beauty. It orders beauty in everything, orders goodness, orders mercy. No matter how badly they treat you, you must give them good in return (23:96) - for the sake of Allah. Your intention should be for Allah's pleasure. Then it will be written as a good deed on your page. You will be a means for the other person to come to guidance. "It is better than the whole world to bring someone to guidance" it says in the Hadith Qudsi, Allah Azza wa Jalla. As we said many people claim they are Muslims but they lead people astray, they lead them to wrong ways. Allah does not help such people. Allah helps those, who help Him. Whoever is helping the Nation of Muhammad Allah surely helps them.
InshaAllah, now disbelief is like one nation, they are all attacking Islam. Like Mawlana used to say, the leaders of Islam are the Ottomans. That's why without saying 'Ottoman' they directly attack the Muslims here, saying "they are useless", but that's their idea. For shaitan they are useless. But in the presence of Allah they are acceptable people. Allah says that He is going to help those, who help Him. So, there is no fear with Allah's permission. The Muslims, Mawlana used to say, during the time of corruption, Muslims should not go out and interfere with anything. They should keep themselves at home. As long as they stay in their own place, they are in safety. "But if they go out, I'm not responsible" Mawlana said. If there is turmoil during the age of corruption, there is no need to go out. In times of safety people may come and go for sure. It is the end of times. People have gotten used to something. They think it will never change. They think their lives will never change. But since Adam alaihi s-salam so many things have happened. People migrated. There were wars, so many died. Allah's wrath came on some of them, they perished. So man cannot live forever. It is wrong to think that it goes on in the same routine.
No, what Allah wills, happens. But if you have Allah's pleasure everything will be easy for you, Allah protects you. You will live in safety and peace. InshaAllah if Allah wills you reach Mahdi alaihi s- salam. With Allah's permission the time is near. "Iqtarabati s-saat" (The
hour has come near) (54:1) Even during the time of the Prophet (sas) he said it was near. Now it is exactly the end. InshaAllah we reach those beautiful days. There will be difficult days before those but, like we said, if you do not interfere, you are under protection with Allah's permission. May Allah make it soon, so the Nation of Muhammad reaches salvation.
Allah keep us with good people, we are saying. The order of Tariqa is to be together, to be speak together, to make Zikr, to make Sohba, to be with good people. Don't be with not good people and don't speak for people who are, they're not understanding about what you are saying, so, they become more worse and they will speak bad and you be, you cannot get any benefit from this speach and it will be worse for these people. But if you know they can understand, you can speak to them. This time it is now time of end of time, fitna time. What Prophet (sas) saying about this - until Mahdi (as) coming, no rest for this world. They are trying, Europe, America, Western people, these who are not believer, they are trying to fix but it is impossible to fix it. It is like taking water balloon from everywhere coming water, you cannot close one side, coming from other side close that coming from other side, so it is time for Mahdi (as). Mahdi (as), he will come and he will fill this world with peace and justice because now, no justice no peace. They are claiming they are justice, only they are doing rule of shaytan and rule of shaytan it is not justice. It is only rubbish and only mess, making more mess for world. Make more poisoning this world. Only, they are cheating people. They are cheating people. They are saying: "this is good, this democracy, this what I don't know what it is." They, only cheating - you must make election, you must make democracy. It is playing, they are playing only for their benefit. But now, even they cannot take benefit from this play.
Everything, finish now. What we will do who following Mawlana? When there is trouble around, don't go out, only stay in your house, you are in safe. But if you are interfering with this thing, you will be also getting some some bad thing for you also. Only people can be safe, who are keep away from this. We are not accepting this, only we are waiting for Mahdi (as) and inshallah, we reach for him. Human being, they thought everything it is, it will be same system forever. No, even
fifty year, even hundred year ago, it was so different this world. Now also will be different so don't be think everything still like this. It is temporary life. But, Allah keep who are beloved for Him and who help Him, He will help them.
Alhamdulillah, we are looking and we are happy with this good tiding. "wa la yansurann Allah man yansuruhu" (22:40) "Allah help who help Him." Inshallah, we are with Him inshaAllah- We are not worry about anything.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
115.ALLAH IS MOST JUST Wednesday, July 8, 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 lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Daghistani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna ssohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying, "I am the Forgiver, the Merciful, I forgive sins." Because of this if you ask forgiveness for your sins Allah will forgive you. Allah is Just, He does not treat anyone unjustly. He forgives His rights but between servants those who hurt people and do bad things to people can be forgiven only by the people they hurt. If they do not forgive, then on Judgment Day their good deeds will be taken from him and given to the ones whose rights he took. Even if a horned sheep hits a sheep with no horn, on Judgment Day even that one will have the right to hit the other one. Rights cannot be lost, says Allah (awj). Justice is like this.
What is the definition of justice? It is to give to each one his rights. Allah is Just, the most perfect justice is from Allah. Because of this do
not oppress to people in this world. Do not do injustice even where there is no justice. Other than men, animals, insects - all have rights. Take care and look after their rights.
Once upon a time there was a dervish. Some bad mannered people were oppressing others because they believed they were powerful. One of them bullied the dervish. He hit him on his head with a stone. By the wisdom of Allah, the dervish put that stone in his pocket. Time passed, and that oppressor was imprisoned by the Sultan's anger. He was imprisoned in a pit. The dervish saw him sitting down there with no one protecting him, no one behind him, and held in a hole where he cannot hurt anyone any more. So he took the stone from his pocket and hit him on the head. The man asked, "Who are you? Why you are stoning me?" The dervish replied, "Once upon a time you hit me with this stone. So i am doing the same to you now." He replied and said "Allah Allah, even after this much time?"
The dervish said: "Nothing is forgotten. Everything is written in Allah's sight. Everybody's rights are protected. Everyone will get their rights." Because of this if you infringe on someone's rights either you should say to him that he has such a right on you - to forgive you. Or if that right is not being given, Allah will give it's equivalent in Akhira. Judgment Day will be the Court of Justice. The scale of Justice is never is confused. May Allah never let anyone overstep others' rights and never help any of us to oppress anyone and may He help us not to oppress anyone InshaAllah. Allah Azza wa Jalla, He is the most Merciful. He is forgiving everything. Everything you do bad for Allah, He is forgiving. When you repent, He is forgiving everything. Because He is the most Generous, most Merciful. And He is most Just. For this, He forgive everything you've done against Allah. But because He's Just, He said "You must want to take forgive from people, if you do something wrong for people. Because I am just, it is not for Me. This is, this is for this man or for this animal, for this lady, for this..." Everything has rights. To give rights, it is justice.
This is Mawlana when sometimes ones they asking about what is meaning of just: To give right for everyone he has right, to give his right for him. This is justice. And when we are describe justice, Allah
He knows better than us. So He said "If you do something wrong with people, you must ask forgiveness from these people." If you do for animal, also you... You can make if you're still making oppressing for this animal, you cannot doing, ok. But if it is not, He can forgive. Allah forgive. If really you want forgive, He give. Even for animal, when for Qiyama only human being they will be forever living in paradise. But for animal just to take their rights from each other Allah He will make them to come back bodily in Qiyama. And if they was beating each other or harming each other, who'd been harmed, he will be make something for other one. And after they will be also earth. But to make justice to come in right, Allah He will create them again and to take revenge from other who was oppressing for them. And it is like this. Nothing can disappear. Everything Allah knowing, He is writing to give the right for these people. How they can give? If in dunya you didn't make them happy, in akhira Allah He will take from your good reward, give them. If you don't have reward, He will put their sin on you also to be more heavy sin, you [will] have. Nothing it is forgotten. Everything clear.
Once upon a time there was... There is people, if they have power and from government or they have power also by themselves, they make oppressing for people. One of these people he was... One dervish passing through, and he was hitting him by stone on his head. And this dervish he was weak. He cannot say, do anything. Only he was taking this stone and keep it in his pocket. After many years, this man... Sultan he was angry with him. And they take him, they want to punish him. This dervish see this and this taking everything, putting in well to not go out. This dervish coming and throwing this stone on his head, for this man's head. He was "Why you are throwing me stone?" He said "What I do for you? Why you're doing this? You see I'm here." He tell him what he was doing before. And this man, he said "It was long time ago."
He said "Everything, it is remembered. If I didn't do this for you now, in Qiyama I will take this revenge. But Allah... It is good for you also to take it in dunya. Even it is better for you." This is what everybody must know - to not harm people, to think before doing any wrong for people. Because they will take their rights from him. And Allah He will give.
And we are asking Allah to not make us oppressors or to make any bad thing for people.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
116.LAYLATU L-QADR Thursday, July 9, 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 lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, dastur, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
One week remaining until the end of the holy month of Ramadan. It is a blessed, beautiful month. Daytime is spent with fasting and reading Qur'an. And nighttime is spent with prayers, sohbats and dhikr. It is a month full of baraka. May Allah make it holy for all of us inshaAllah.
We will come across the night of power in these days inshaAllah. Sheikh Effendi used to say to think of every night as laylatu l-qadr. InshaAllah Allah will grant people this as long as they don't make wrong and sin. The manifestation of that night will be dressed on you inshaAllah. It's Allah's will, Allah's creation. Allah created time just like He created mankind. Time is something created. Allah Azza wa Jalla is beyond time and place. But for creatures, He created both time and place. He has a specified timeline for everyone. You live this long and
will pass away after this long. As we've seen, how many Ramadans we had so far, Allah knows how many we'll have more. But shukr to Allah, He has given us its beauty. And Muslims and mumins (believers) are feeling that beauty. Because as soon as Ramadan comes, everywhere people either go to umrah, or Muslims gather to visit tombs and Mashaikhs. Beautiful states come to Muslims who understand.
Of course, there are those who don't understand. Some people say Ramadan doesn't come to such a country. Come or not, the blessing for those not understanding over there, Allah will grant to those who are understanding [Ramadan]. Allah is sending that mercy and blessing according to the number of people. Who doesn't make it [fasting] can't take it. Who are practicing are given it. What happens to the rest? Allah Azza wa Jalla says: I don't take back what I give. Give to those who make it in those place, so that they get the blessing. No need to worry about who fasts and who doesn't. It doesn't matter. They know for themselves. Everyone is responsible for himself. Take from what is given.
If Allah gives you a material or spiritual gift, don't turn it away. Some people have very good work in dunya but they say they're tired of it. Don't be tired of work. Take from the halal and nice provision given by Allah. Don't show the opposite of adab. Allah gave you spiritual provision too. Take from it too, don't turn it away. The more you take, the more it will be, the more benefit it gives you. Don't say it's too much or it's enough. If Allah gives, thank Him and make shukr. Therefore, this month of Ramadan is a holy month, it's blessed. InshaAllah it will be both apparent and spiritual baraka and cure for the sick, for people who respect this month, who welcomed it well and bid it farewell nicely. Of course, some people joke by saying "We're tired, we're thirsty". But when Ramadan finishes, some sadness comes to a man as if a good guest is gone. May Allah not take that beauty away from us. May He make it more and give that beauty to people who haven't tasted it so that they know.
One of our brothers came yesterday, may Allah be pleased with him. He gave iftar here. He said "I used to come to Sheikh Effendi and brought many people with me." People who came asked "What are we
doing here?" They came, kissed Sheikh Effendi's hand and took baraka. Later they were saying - let's go again. And he'd say "for what should we go?" They said: "We don't know." But as soon as you taste it, you can't leave it. A man who takes from the beauty of Ramadan always misses it. People rejoice when it comes every year and become sad when it's gone.
May Allah give us more Ramadans inshaAllah together with Sahib, together with Sahib of Islam Mahdi, alaihi salam so that oppression on the Muslims finishes. Today, it is nearly, after one week will finish Ramadan. Ramadan, it is nice month. It is holy month. In daytime, In daytime, we are fasting. We are reading Qur'an. And we're fasting, we are not forgetting whole Ramadan, you feeling you are worshiping Not forgetting anything for Ramadan Nighttime also, we're praying and waking up for worshiping also. Giving your body, your spiritual body, power and nice feeding and feeling. As we have physical body, we want something to eat to make be power for spiritual also, need something to make it more power[ful]. Without doing anything, nothing can be improve. By your worshiping, you are obeying Allah Order you becoming, improving more and more to better.
And Ramadan, it is, there is night, the holiest night - Laylatu l-Qadr, and it is most of time after 20th of Ramadan. So, until end this month inshallah it will be, one of these nights inshaAllah. But when you are, every night, you respect this night Allah, He can give the honour of this night for you, also. And it is night better than thousand month. Thousand month meaning, maybe, around 80, 85 years, something like this. Because, there was in Bani Israil, some Prophets, 80 years they was fighting not taking off their armor from themselves. So, when Sahaba was hearing this, they surprising and they say :"What, it is too much". And Allah sent Jibril and said: "There was one night, it is better than this 80 years". Like Yusha ibn Nun, Sham'on and other one three of them, they was fighting 80 years.
But this night, Laylat-ul Qadr - who can meet in this night, it is better than 80 years in one night. So, Alhamdulillah, it is generosity of Allah for Prophet Muhammad (sas) Nation, to be looking for this night. And Allah giving from His Generosity. When He give from something, don't
say it is enough, it is enough for me. I don't want any more. This is rule for everything. Sometimes, Allah open for people - in business even, they have very good business, very good work and money coming for them like river. But people, shaytan make them to say: "No, it is enough for us, we don't want any more." When Allah close, it is difficult to open second time. So, when it is open, take! Don't say: " It is enough, thank you." And thank Allah. For spiritual [things] also, when it is open, don't say: "it is enough". Take as much you can take.
And there is countries, they are respecting Ramadan, you see everybody fasting and coming to mosque - mosque it is full. There is some country, like ours, you cannot feel any. When you go outside of dergah, you don't feel something from - everybody not fasting. They are drinking everything also. But it is ok, because why ? Because Allah send His blessing for all these people who living in this country. Who they want to take, Allah give them. But other, they don't want take, they are not fasting, they are not doing any good thing for Allah - not for Allah, for themselves because Allah, not in need for them. So angels, they are asking: "we give these people, their right, their gift?" And other, they don't want, they are not looking anything. What will we do this, we can bring it back? Allah, He said, "No. When something coming out from Me, it is not, I cannot take it more any. Give this people, who are fasting. If ten people not fasting, one people fasting, all this ten people’s [blessing] coming from [to] this man. So, it is good also. Don't be worry. They are free, if they like to take, they can fast. But, if they don't take, want, Allah give us and give Baraka of this fasting, Ramadan for country, not for people who are not fasting. And Baraka for who they are fasting. So, don't be sad. What we will do? They are clever, they are knowing right and they claiming they are very clever people. They can be responsible for themselves. We are only inviting people, we cannot force them. And Allah reward us if they come for good way Allah give us more Baraka inshaAllah. But, if not coming so Allah give us their reward.
And Ramadan, it is really nice month. Sometimes, you feeling difficult, you fear. But, it is the taste, it is very sweet. Who can take this taste, he miss Ramadan. Every time, it is like going, good guest going away from your house. You feeling little bit sad, little bit not happy. And
when coming, you are happy. It is taste for who, these people who respecting Ramadan, not for other. But, if other they are taking this taste and this sweetness, they will be also running after Ramadan. Like yesterday was one, our brothers, he bring food for iftar, and he was coming to Mawlana sometimes. He said: "I was bringing many people with me. You know our people they are not interesting for sheikh, for religion, for anything but because he is friend, they was coming just to make him happy. And they ask him: " Why you are going? No need to go." And he said when they are coming and kissing Mawlana hand and taking bless, after one week, three days, they saying, "Come on to go, to meet again sheikh." This time he was making joke: "Why? no need". "No," they said, "we wasn't know about sheikh and his bless and his sweetness. When we once met him, we like to meet him every time."
Ramadan also like this. If they take, taste of Ramadan, they will never leave it. Allah make this taste all time with us and to give for other people also. Allah to be in many Ramadan also together and to be better with Sayyidina l-Mahdi inshaAllah. We hope inshaAllah, next Ramadan to be give peace for this world inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
117.THE LAST NATION Friday, July 10, 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 lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur. Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
May our gatherings be beautiful and everlasting inshaAllah. We performed the last Juma of Ramadan today. May Allah accept it. May we reach many more Ramadans inshaAllah. Ramadan is passing with lots of worship now mashaAllah. The last thing to be done is the worship called sadaqat al-fitr, zakat al-fitr. Everyone must give it no matter rich or poor. Our Prophet said poor people should give other poor ones. What the poor gives will come back to him - as he's poor, others will give him too. No one is deprived from this worship. Moreover, zakat al-fitr became obligatory before actual zakat. As it is fard, because it is small amount compared to 1/40 normal zakat, people don't pay much attention to it. Whereas, it's a worship which became fard before Zakat.
It's not much. Everyone can afford it. Rich or poor, everyone can give it despite the amount. Because, as we said, poor people say "I'm not
dying from hunger, I can't give." When it comes to such good things and worship. In fact, what they'll give is maybe 5 liras. Because this fitr is calculated over flour, or grapes, or raisins or dates. What we call 1 sa' of flour is maybe 2 kilograms, or 3 kilograms. 3 kg won't make 5 liras. Poor ones can give it. They will have it anyway. The same will come to them. But as we said, the poor say they can't give when it's about worship. Same person cannot give up smoking no matter how poor he is, he will buy his cigarettes for sure. And with money paid for cigarettes a month he could sustain all his family.
The month of Ramadan was a chance to be rescued from smoking too. InshaAllah many people must quit. It poisons a human body and is sin as well. Because he makes himself suffer and makes people around suffer too. He does a very useless thing. It's something that has no value from all sides. Who couldn't quit during this Ramadan can do so during this last week or six remaining days to be more accurate. They should trust in Allah and ask for help, inshaAllah they will be able to quit. It will be a gift for Eid that they will be saved from this bad habit and poison. And they will bring halal provisions with that money to their children.
As we said, smoking is bad from all sides. It's bad for health, money is wasted. And money is wasted for haram because you take away from the provision of your children. You burn money and get poisoned. Even if smoking itself is not haram, it's haram to pay for it. May Allah protect all of us. And inshaAllah blessings of the end of Ramadan will be upon those who smoke so that they quit.
InshaAllah Laylat al-Qadr is also in these days. May it be holy for all of us. It is a gift of Allah to the nation of Muhammad. It's a special gift for the nation of our Prophet. Because, our Prophet used to say that there were 3 men from Bani Israel. They made jihad for 80 years without stopping. When sahabas bewailed they can't do that and can't reach that Allah Azza wa Jalla said that one night is better than 80 years. 1000 months make 80 years. It's better than that, and that night is Laylat ul- Qadr. And Allah Azza wa Jalla gave it to the nation of Muhammad. It is a grant and gift of Allah. Other nations didn't have it. Gifts given to the nation of Muhammad for the honor of our Prophet, all Prophets
wished for them saying, "If only we were not Prophets and were just people from his nation". All Prophets would wish so.
Therefore, we have been given a big favour. We are the nation of Muhammad, our Prophet. And it's not in our hands. Allah created us so. We can't come to this world as we like any time we want. Allah created us in such time and in such condition and granted us these beautiful gatherings. Shukr to Allah. We must give thanks for it. We must be happy. This world is the world of tests but with patience, its end becomes good, shukr to Allah. This world cannot be good all the time. Most times it requires patience from all sides. There is no comfort for believers in dunya. Only in akhira. Still shukr to Allah, when you thank Allah and know the value of His favours, these sufferings and troubles become easy for faithful people. They thank and praise Allah. These faithful people get their rewards.
People without belief either drink alcohol, or take drugs as their problems making more and more. They destroy themselves. At last, it's not enough and they commit suicide. They have no use and whatever they do is useless. Because they walk into fire, they don't run away from it. You have to seek refuge in Allah in order to escape from fire so that the fire becomes cool and nice like it was for Ibrahim alaihi salam. These troubles and sufferings can be like fire which came to Ibrahim alaihi salam. "Ya naru kuni bardan wa salaman 'ala Ibrahim"(21:69) You can live a cool and nice life. And you will find peace at last. And know the value of Laylat ul-Qadr. Nights nowadays are short anyway. If a person sleeps even an hour that night, it will be counted as if he stood awake the whole night. InshaAllah its baraka will be upon us. Ask for health and forgiveness continuously during these nights by saying "afwu wa l-afiyah". "Allahumma inna nas'aluka l-'afwa wa l- 'afiyah." Repeat it every night until Eid inshaAllah. This is the most valuable thing. Forgiveness of Allah and health. There can't be a bigger favour than health. To ask " 'afw " means to be on the right way. And may there be peace and health in our bodies inshaAllah. Allah make our days all blessed and happy.
Today the last day of Ramadan, Juma. It is holy day and holiest day for nation of Prophet (sas). Allah give this day for him. And it is last day
for last Juma. Next Juma, inshaAllah Friday, it will be Eid. So Alhamdulillah, we are coming to end of this holy month. Allah grant us endless blessing. Because He said "I am rewarding for this month". And we are happy we reached nearly to end this month, with His - what He is happy with us to do, His order. We trying to make it and we gathering together all people coming through long distance around, but most of them they are coming from very far to see, visit Mawlana also in Ramadan. And it is really good gift from Allah. Because Allah He create us in last nation and this nation, Allah give them many gift, specially holy night is Laylatu l-Qadr. It is like 1000 months, better than 1000 months. It is 1000 months, it's more than 80 years, 80. And many of old time prophets they was wishing to be one of this nation of Prophet (sas). Better than to be prophet. Many of them they wished to be like this. Alhamdulillah, Allah He is Creator, and He give us this chance, this good gift, and we are happy with this. We are thankful for Allah. Many people they not know about this. But Alhamdulillah who are - Allah give them this understanding and put them in good position - because it is also like dunya, some people they are rich, some people they are poor and some people they are dying from hunger. Also, this also lucky from Allah. To be rich for Akhirah, for next day, not only for dunya. The more important thing to be rich for Akhirah, for next life. And Allah give us this gift, Alhamdulillah. And there is also in Ramadan, the end of Ramadan, sadaqa, charity for everybody, he must give it. For fasting. Poor or rich, because it is not so much, it is very small. But it is, if you give it before salatul Eid, Eid praying, it is zakat. But after, if you forget and give after salat, it is sadaqa. And the difference between zakat and sadaqa, too much. Zakat it is obligatory. Sadaqa if you give 10,000 more than zakat, it is not, you cannot reach it. The more important to do it before salat al-Eid. And it is barakah for everybody and Allah grant poor people also to do it. Because if they give, also they will take it again. The people they will give them again, so it is no problem for them. But shaytan make it, it's too big for them.
Especially people who are poor people they say "we cannot pay, we cannot do anything, we are in very bad condition", but to give for cigarette they are find from where they find. They give for cigarette. And it is for one month it is enough even for whole family to live with
this money of cigarette. And it is very bad habit for everybody, for rich or for poor people. And Ramadan it was very good opportunity to not smoke anymore. And still there is 6 days until end of this month. And who are, he have good intention, Allah help him in these 6 days to finish from smoking illness. It is very bad illness, it is 100% bad. Not even 1% it is good. It is making, poisoning for these men who are smoking. And it is giving bad smell. And it is israf also. And it is haram -2 kinds haram - once because making yourself to be ill and second one, you are burning money. It is not acceptable to burn money. Why you take, you pay money and to bring and burn it there? Any clever one he put one dollar or 2 dollars and burn it there? They will be, they said to him "you are crazy". But they are giving $10, $20, I don't know how much, for every day for burning. And it is haram also, for this also.
But who have intention inshaAllah this month until this Ramadan, Allah help him to finish from this illness. Ask madad to help you, to get help to finish from this illness. And to give this sadaqa it is for everybody, small, big, for everybody. You must, for your family you must give. Before salatu l-Eid, after salatu l-Eid, as we said it is sadaqa. And Ramadan it is the most holiest month and it is nearly finished. But Alhamdulillah we are so happy because Allah help us and inshaAllah we are feeling His gift for spiritual body, even for physical body also because it is connected. It is so much powerful.
And we are inshaAllah hoping next year to be better with Mahdi (as), inshaAllah. This is important and we are believe because it is end of time. And it is not belief of some part of Muslim, No it is belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jama'a because there is, it must be Qiyamah, Judgement Day and it is near. Prophet (sas) he was saying, in hadith, in Quran even "iqtarabati as sa'atu" (54:1) meaning the time is approach very near. And it is everything in signs to, it is finish. All people they are... In Quran also - there is people they are like drunk, they are not knowing what happened. But it will come and it will be happened. InshaAllah who following right way he will be safe here and hereafter, inshaAllah.
Allah give us this opportunity to be with Mahdi (as) and to be in Janna
with Prophet (sas), and Mawlana Sheikh, to be neighbour for them inshaAllah.
Bi hurmati l-Fatiha.
118.THE SPECIAL ONES Saturday, July 11, 2015.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa ssalamu 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 Daghistani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa lkhayru fi jam'iyyah.
"Kullun muyassarun lima khuliqa lah." (Everyone will find it easy to do what he was created for). We're not sure, but I assume it is a hadith or a saying of holy men. Allah gave easiness in everything every man does. He created everyone for something and everyone has his own duty. Though every person looks the same, each one is different. There are billions of human beings. One cannot be exactly like the other. And each of them Allah created people suited to their jobs, with suitable characteristics, whether they be shepherds or farmers, doctors, workers, municipality workers, government employees, soldiers, policemen. Everyone has his duty. Allah created them according to that, to keep going on that duty.
But people don't accept it now. Everyone wants to study and graduate from universities to become engineers, doctors, lawyers. They want to be these the most. The world is going to be filled with them. It can't be.
Allah Azza wa Jalla created everyone suitable for a certain occupation. When a man does what he is suitable for, he continues his job with happiness and pleasure and continues his life with it. But people deceive them too by saying they can get a better job. They say "Leave this job, you can do better jobs" and despise the work for which Allah created the man suitable and in which He put ease. They try to dissuade others from their work and make them do other things. And afterwards they can't succeed in it. Thus people become destroyed and lose confidence in themselves. Whereas, if they are satisfied and say "I love this job, I should do it as my provisions come from it", it will be enough. They will live well and comfortably. But there are human shaitans, shaitan and ego. They oppress people in this world and send them all to hell in akhira. It is like this in everything. Say what you know and don't interfere in what you don't know, or don't give an opinion. If Allah showed you the right thing, if you're sure about, then say it. If not, no need. Don't embarass yourself. These things we say about are not only for common people, but also for hojas and those who think they are Sheikhs. When a man sees his Sheikh... Sheikh receives inspirations from Allah, spiritual manifestations come to him. He can see things that other people can't see and tell good things and give orders. Sometimes he can tell strange things, but that has its wisdom. It becomes useful for people afterwards. And because he's a Sheikh, he doesn't speak according to his mind. They are rare people. Sheikhs are not 1 in 1,000, one in a million. There may not even be one in 10 million or 100 million. There is no rule for those who follow a Sheikh to do as the Sheikh does. Your rule is to follow your Sheikh's prayers, fasting and worshippings. Don't interfere in other things. You should speak if you know. If you don't know and think "Sheikh would give nice orders I should do something too", then it will be a sin on you and you will have harmed people. You will be punished by Allah in akhira and your Sheikh won't look at you. Your Sheikh didn't order you so. His order: Say what you know, the right thing.
As I said, one day one of the holy men asked one of the Awliya, the head of the Abdal to make him one of them and take him with them. He said "Ok. Let's go, come with us." They went up to minaret. The Abdal gathered on top of minaret, Sheikh said "Let's go" and each of
them went off the balcony and flew and went. All of them came and disappeared. At last, the Sheikh said "Now it's your turn". The man had sold all his property, divorced his wife and left everything to become one of the abdal and to follow them. He struggled until the morning and couldn't jump. The Sheikh was by his side. It was his order. And if a man continues giving orders assuming he's a Sheikh, he would ruin all people there.
When he couldn't do it until morning, the Sheikh came back from his mission and saw he was still there and said "May Allah be pleased with you. You did what you could because it is not an order of shariat. If it was a shariat order, the Prophet would fly too, sahabas would fly too. But this is special. It's for tariqa. You can't do it, so you should leave it. Take your property back, get your wife back and sit in your place. No sin for you." This Sheikh is the real Sheikh. But there are crazy Sheikhs who ruin people and are of no use. We're giving this example as it is a remarkable example. They take people's property, break people's fast a day early, make Eid according to their minds. It can't be like this. You are not Sheikh, you don't take orders, so you can't make people do this.
There was wisdom in everything Mawlana did. And nothing was done opposite fard or wajib things in his life. Those are not your duty. You're not capable to do so. You should do all sunnah, fard, mustahab and wajib you saw your Sheikh doing. Other things are not necessary. No need to exaggerate further. And I'm telling this for Ramadan because sometimes people say "This said this, that said that". No need to follow someone else. Our Sheikh showed us the right way. We

d when he was old and ill. There people they was coming to him to make him not feel sorry, to not be, to not be afraid and they was surprising and they saw him very happy, smiling and saying poem also. Saying: "Ghadan alqa l-ahibba Muhammadin wa Sahbah." This is meaning: "Tomorrow, we will meet our beloved one,
Sayyidina Muhammad (sas) and his Companions So, we are very happy. Why you are coming, you are sad. Don't be sad, I am going to where I was looking for this." And this is difference between two kinds of people. These people looking for real life, eternal life. And when they changing this world, they going to real life in the best place. Other people also, they are changing and they will not be free if they are believe or not believe. Also they have eternal life but they're going to wrong side, very bad side, worst than this world. They are gambling but they will be, they will be a loser.
Allah Azza wa Jalla, only want from these people if they are doing anything - not worshipping, not doing any good thing from these people. Don't object about religion and say: La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadan Rasul Allah At the end, you can be in Paradise. But if you are not believe in this and you are making bad word about religion Islam, you will be loser forever and this is only for Ramadan we say this, because many people they cannot, maybe, fasting. They cannot pray, they cannot do anything. Still Allah, He has Mercy and only what He wants is - don't make any god with Me and accept this: la ilaha ill Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah. Don't gamble, only two words and you be saved. And this life, it is like dream. Only, when you are in grave or in Judgment Day, you will be awake and you will be sorry. So, it is advice for whole human being.

113.PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN OPPRESSORS Monday, July 6, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu was-salamu 'ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur. Madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
The Sultans in the past, also now some of them are compassionate and smart people, some are oppressors. According to his station, he becomes a benefit to his nation. There are so many sultans who oppress their people. May Allah not take away the ones, who rule us. May Allah make such people lasting InshaAllah. They came and told one of the Sultans in the old times they gave him good tidings. This man, who you did not like he died. He said this with great joy. Sultan was a smart man, so he said "If he died we will also die. Death is for everyone. So you cannot be happy if he is dead. Allah gives everyone a life span He completed that and died. If we were not going to die, we could be
happy of his death. But we will all die." So a smart person would not feel happy.
But when an oppressor dies, people by getting rid of him, become happy about his death. There was Hajjaj az-Zalim in old times. He lived after the Companions' time. The Umayyids sent him to Iraq as a governor. They deserved him of course - they also oppressed people both the ones who deserved and the ones who did not deserve. He heard about an awliya there. He called him, saying "O holy man, pray for me." He prayed saying Bismillahi rRahmani r-Rahim. After he prayed he said; "Allah, take the life of this Hajjaj." He said "I asked you to pray for me but you are cursing me." He said "No, I prayed for you. As long as you live you will oppress people. It will be worse for you. Your account book will be full of oppression. It is better for you to die. That is the benefit, that's why I prayed for you this way." There is a saying: the sleep of an oppressor is like worshiping. Because when he sleeps he can't do anything, he cannot oppress. So, the more he sleeps the better it is for him. They say the sleep of a scholar is also worshiping, because the scholar is taking a rest. But for the oppressor the more he sleeps the more people are at rest. Allah does not want to oppress anyone. He does not oppress anyone. But when people deserve He sends them such oppressors. May Allah protect us.
The greatest oppressor is our ego. People oppress themselves, that is the biggest oppression. Allah tells the good for you, you leave that and oppress yourself. May Allah give all of us understanding, give us a mind so that we understand these things and stay away from oppression. Old time people, governors or sultans or kings they was, many of them ruling, even now also, they're following their mood. Very few between them they are good men. Who are they good, their name - saying until Qiyamah, "This was good, this was not good", but most of them of course, to find good one, it is not easy. Old time one of kings, they was coming and telling him, "Oh, this man who was very bad man, you don't like him, he died. We are happy for this." Of course he is bad one, when bad one dying it is good but this man he was clever to not make this only for his ego. He said to be happy with somebody death it is not acceptable too much. Because we are also... we will die, not only this man. So maybe good he die but to be happy and he die to
say, it is not good idea. Because death for everybody. if we are not be died, die, so we will be happy. But he die, also we will die. And he, of course because he was bad one it is good for people but not to be happy for like this, he will die and we're live. Too many people they are of course, they're oppressors. As we said, whole history, many of kings, they was good, bad, but they was oppressors also. People was suffering from this. But this also from Allah, Allah sent them. Like Hajjaju z-Zalim. There was one governor, time of Umawi, they sent him to Iraq. Iraq people they was all time making trouble. And Allah sent them this man and he was oppressor. He was killing innocent and bad one. Only he was not looking too much. And he was oppressing people, people they was not happy with him. Once he hear there was one awliya, friend of Allah, saint, and he ask him, "O good man, make dua for me, pray for me". And he make dua and he said, "O Allah take the soul of this man Hajjaju z-Zalim, let him to die". He was "What are you doing? I'm saying to you make dua for me, you make against me?" He said "No, not against you this is for you good, because every minute you are in life you getting more burden on you. Make more oppressing for people you are killing more people, you are making bad thing for people, it is not good for you. Better for you to be, save yourself, as much quickly you die so you will be better for you, be for people".
The people they deserve but their burden coming on you. And Allah giving people what they deserve. And people oppressing themselves. Allah not oppressing anybody. Allah is Merciful and He showing human being good thing. They're trying, and they're doing, not trying, doing against, exactly against what Allah saying. Opposite, direct opposite. And it is time of Mahdi and the... this Judgement Day coming and we are seeing maybe from sometimes they used to it we said people they're not... getting more angry, they're not caring what happened, what are going in this world. But it is really going, growing this, every badness coming to top. And it is... it must be like this for Qiyamah, Judgement Day to come, to Mahdi (as) come. It must be like this and people they're oppressing/oppressors and they will get what they deserve.
Allah keep us away from these people and to be in Mercy of Allah. Not
following our ego, oppressor ego, because first thing doing, it is oppressing ourself.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
114.ALLAH HELPS THOSE WHO HELP HIM Tuesday, July 7, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min as-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
May Allah put us together with good people always. InshaAllah we will be with them. Because now it is the end of times. The world is corrupted. Corruption and disorder are everywhere now. Allah, when Resurrection Day is approaching all the badness and evil comes out - it is being cooked so that Mahdi alaihi s-salam should come at last. The one, who helps Allah, Allah helps him. Allah says: "wa la yansurann Allah man yansuruhu" (22:40) (Allah will surely support those, who support him). Our intention, like Allah says, is to be with Allah. We do not want anything for our ego. May Allah make Islam victorious. Mahdi alaihi s-salam should come, there is no other way. You think people will get better and the number of Muslims are increasing but it gets worse. They make bigger corruption. They do
what the non-Muslims do not do against Islam.
Islam is a religion of mercy, a religion of beauty. It orders beauty in everything, orders goodness, orders mercy. No matter how badly they treat you, you must give them good in return (23:96) - for the sake of Allah. Your intention should be for Allah's pleasure. Then it will be written as a good deed on your page. You will be a means for the other person to come to guidance. "It is better than the whole world to bring someone to guidance" it says in the Hadith Qudsi, Allah Azza wa Jalla. As we said many people claim they are Muslims but they lead people astray, they lead them to wrong ways. Allah does not help such people. Allah helps those, who help Him. Whoever is helping the Nation of Muhammad Allah surely helps them.
InshaAllah, now disbelief is like one nation, they are all attacking Islam. Like Mawlana used to say, the leaders of Islam are the Ottomans. That's why without saying 'Ottoman' they directly attack the Muslims here, saying "they are useless", but that's their idea. For shaitan they are useless. But in the presence of Allah they are acceptable people. Allah says that He is going to help those, who help Him. So, there is no fear with Allah's permission. The Muslims, Mawlana used to say, during the time of corruption, Muslims should not go out and interfere with anything. They should keep themselves at home. As long as they stay in their own place, they are in safety. "But if they go out, I'm not responsible" Mawlana said. If there is turmoil during the age of corruption, there is no need to go out. In times of safety people may come and go for sure. It is the end of times. People have gotten used to something. They think it will never change. They think their lives will never change. But since Adam alaihi s-salam so many things have happened. People migrated. There were wars, so many died. Allah's wrath came on some of them, they perished. So man cannot live forever. It is wrong to think that it goes on in the same routine.
No, what Allah wills, happens. But if you have Allah's pleasure everything will be easy for you, Allah protects you. You will live in safety and peace. InshaAllah if Allah wills you reach Mahdi alaihi s- salam. With Allah's permission the time is near. "Iqtarabati s-saat" (The
hour has come near) (54:1) Even during the time of the Prophet (sas) he said it was near. Now it is exactly the end. InshaAllah we reach those beautiful days. There will be difficult days before those but, like we said, if you do not interfere, you are under protection with Allah's permission. May Allah make it soon, so the Nation of Muhammad reaches salvation.
Allah keep us with good people, we are saying. The order of Tariqa is to be together, to be speak together, to make Zikr, to make Sohba, to be with good people. Don't be with not good people and don't speak for people who are, they're not understanding about what you are saying, so, they become more worse and they will speak bad and you be, you cannot get any benefit from this speach and it will be worse for these people. But if you know they can understand, you can speak to them. This time it is now time of end of time, fitna time. What Prophet (sas) saying about this - until Mahdi (as) coming, no rest for this world. They are trying, Europe, America, Western people, these who are not believer, they are trying to fix but it is impossible to fix it. It is like taking water balloon from everywhere coming water, you cannot close one side, coming from other side close that coming from other side, so it is time for Mahdi (as). Mahdi (as), he will come and he will fill this world with peace and justice because now, no justice no peace. They are claiming they are justice, only they are doing rule of shaytan and rule of shaytan it is not justice. It is only rubbish and only mess, making more mess for world. Make more poisoning this world. Only, they are cheating people. They are cheating people. They are saying: "this is good, this democracy, this what I don't know what it is." They, only cheating - you must make election, you must make democracy. It is playing, they are playing only for their benefit. But now, even they cannot take benefit from this play.
Everything, finish now. What we will do who following Mawlana? When there is trouble around, don't go out, only stay in your house, you are in safe. But if you are interfering with this thing, you will be also getting some some bad thing for you also. Only people can be safe, who are keep away from this. We are not accepting this, only we are waiting for Mahdi (as) and inshallah, we reach for him. Human being, they thought everything it is, it will be same system forever. No, even
fifty year, even hundred year ago, it was so different this world. Now also will be different so don't be think everything still like this. It is temporary life. But, Allah keep who are beloved for Him and who help Him, He will help them.
Alhamdulillah, we are looking and we are happy with this good tiding. "wa la yansurann Allah man yansuruhu" (22:40) "Allah help who help Him." Inshallah, we are with Him inshaAllah- We are not worry about anything.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
115.ALLAH IS MOST JUST Wednesday, July 8, 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 lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Daghistani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna ssohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying, "I am the Forgiver, the Merciful, I forgive sins." Because of this if you ask forgiveness for your sins Allah will forgive you. Allah is Just, He does not treat anyone unjustly. He forgives His rights but between servants those who hurt people and do bad things to people can be forgiven only by the people they hurt. If they do not forgive, then on Judgment Day their good deeds will be taken from him and given to the ones whose rights he took. Even if a horned sheep hits a sheep with no horn, on Judgment Day even that one will have the right to hit the other one. Rights cannot be lost, says Allah (awj). Justice is like this.
What is the definition of justice? It is to give to each one his rights. Allah is Just, the most perfect justice is from Allah. Because of this do
not oppress to people in this world. Do not do injustice even where there is no justice. Other than men, animals, insects - all have rights. Take care and look after their rights.
Once upon a time there was a dervish. Some bad mannered people were oppressing others because they believed they were powerful. One of them bullied the dervish. He hit him on his head with a stone. By the wisdom of Allah, the dervish put that stone in his pocket. Time passed, and that oppressor was imprisoned by the Sultan's anger. He was imprisoned in a pit. The dervish saw him sitting down there with no one protecting him, no one behind him, and held in a hole where he cannot hurt anyone any more. So he took the stone from his pocket and hit him on the head. The man asked, "Who are you? Why you are stoning me?" The dervish replied, "Once upon a time you hit me with this stone. So i am doing the same to you now." He replied and said "Allah Allah, even after this much time?"
The dervish said: "Nothing is forgotten. Everything is written in Allah's sight. Everybody's rights are protected. Everyone will get their rights." Because of this if you infringe on someone's rights either you should say to him that he has such a right on you - to forgive you. Or if that right is not being given, Allah will give it's equivalent in Akhira. Judgment Day will be the Court of Justice. The scale of Justice is never is confused. May Allah never let anyone overstep others' rights and never help any of us to oppress anyone and may He help us not to oppress anyone InshaAllah. Allah Azza wa Jalla, He is the most Merciful. He is forgiving everything. Everything you do bad for Allah, He is forgiving. When you repent, He is forgiving everything. Because He is the most Generous, most Merciful. And He is most Just. For this, He forgive everything you've done against Allah. But because He's Just, He said "You must want to take forgive from people, if you do something wrong for people. Because I am just, it is not for Me. This is, this is for this man or for this animal, for this lady, for this..." Everything has rights. To give rights, it is justice.
This is Mawlana when sometimes ones they asking about what is meaning of just: To give right for everyone he has right, to give his right for him. This is justice. And when we are describe justice, Allah
He knows better than us. So He said "If you do something wrong with people, you must ask forgiveness from these people." If you do for animal, also you... You can make if you're still making oppressing for this animal, you cannot doing, ok. But if it is not, He can forgive. Allah forgive. If really you want forgive, He give. Even for animal, when for Qiyama only human being they will be forever living in paradise. But for animal just to take their rights from each other Allah He will make them to come back bodily in Qiyama. And if they was beating each other or harming each other, who'd been harmed, he will be make something for other one. And after they will be also earth. But to make justice to come in right, Allah He will create them again and to take revenge from other who was oppressing for them. And it is like this. Nothing can disappear. Everything Allah knowing, He is writing to give the right for these people. How they can give? If in dunya you didn't make them happy, in akhira Allah He will take from your good reward, give them. If you don't have reward, He will put their sin on you also to be more heavy sin, you [will] have. Nothing it is forgotten. Everything clear.
Once upon a time there was... There is people, if they have power and from government or they have power also by themselves, they make oppressing for people. One of these people he was... One dervish passing through, and he was hitting him by stone on his head. And this dervish he was weak. He cannot say, do anything. Only he was taking this stone and keep it in his pocket. After many years, this man... Sultan he was angry with him. And they take him, they want to punish him. This dervish see this and this taking everything, putting in well to not go out. This dervish coming and throwing this stone on his head, for this man's head. He was "Why you are throwing me stone?" He said "What I do for you? Why you're doing this? You see I'm here." He tell him what he was doing before. And this man, he said "It was long time ago."
He said "Everything, it is remembered. If I didn't do this for you now, in Qiyama I will take this revenge. But Allah... It is good for you also to take it in dunya. Even it is better for you." This is what everybody must know - to not harm people, to think before doing any wrong for people. Because they will take their rights from him. And Allah He will give.
And we are asking Allah to not make us oppressors or to make any bad thing for people.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
116.LAYLATU L-QADR Thursday, July 9, 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 lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, dastur, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
One week remaining until the end of the holy month of Ramadan. It is a blessed, beautiful month. Daytime is spent with fasting and reading Qur'an. And nighttime is spent with prayers, sohbats and dhikr. It is a month full of baraka. May Allah make it holy for all of us inshaAllah.
We will come across the night of power in these days inshaAllah. Sheikh Effendi used to say to think of every night as laylatu l-qadr. InshaAllah Allah will grant people this as long as they don't make wrong and sin. The manifestation of that night will be dressed on you inshaAllah. It's Allah's will, Allah's creation. Allah created time just like He created mankind. Time is something created. Allah Azza wa Jalla is beyond time and place. But for creatures, He created both time and place. He has a specified timeline for everyone. You live this long and
will pass away after this long. As we've seen, how many Ramadans we had so far, Allah knows how many we'll have more. But shukr to Allah, He has given us its beauty. And Muslims and mumins (believers) are feeling that beauty. Because as soon as Ramadan comes, everywhere people either go to umrah, or Muslims gather to visit tombs and Mashaikhs. Beautiful states come to Muslims who understand.
Of course, there are those who don't understand. Some people say Ramadan doesn't come to such a country. Come or not, the blessing for those not understanding over there, Allah will grant to those who are understanding [Ramadan]. Allah is sending that mercy and blessing according to the number of people. Who doesn't make it [fasting] can't take it. Who are practicing are given it. What happens to the rest? Allah Azza wa Jalla says: I don't take back what I give. Give to those who make it in those place, so that they get the blessing. No need to worry about who fasts and who doesn't. It doesn't matter. They know for themselves. Everyone is responsible for himself. Take from what is given.
If Allah gives you a material or spiritual gift, don't turn it away. Some people have very good work in dunya but they say they're tired of it. Don't be tired of work. Take from the halal and nice provision given by Allah. Don't show the opposite of adab. Allah gave you spiritual provision too. Take from it too, don't turn it away. The more you take, the more it will be, the more benefit it gives you. Don't say it's too much or it's enough. If Allah gives, thank Him and make shukr. Therefore, this month of Ramadan is a holy month, it's blessed. InshaAllah it will be both apparent and spiritual baraka and cure for the sick, for people who respect this month, who welcomed it well and bid it farewell nicely. Of course, some people joke by saying "We're tired, we're thirsty". But when Ramadan finishes, some sadness comes to a man as if a good guest is gone. May Allah not take that beauty away from us. May He make it more and give that beauty to people who haven't tasted it so that they know.
One of our brothers came yesterday, may Allah be pleased with him. He gave iftar here. He said "I used to come to Sheikh Effendi and brought many people with me." People who came asked "What are we
doing here?" They came, kissed Sheikh Effendi's hand and took baraka. Later they were saying - let's go again. And he'd say "for what should we go?" They said: "We don't know." But as soon as you taste it, you can't leave it. A man who takes from the beauty of Ramadan always misses it. People rejoice when it comes every year and become sad when it's gone.
May Allah give us more Ramadans inshaAllah together with Sahib, together with Sahib of Islam Mahdi, alaihi salam so that oppression on the Muslims finishes. Today, it is nearly, after one week will finish Ramadan. Ramadan, it is nice month. It is holy month. In daytime, In daytime, we are fasting. We are reading Qur'an. And we're fasting, we are not forgetting whole Ramadan, you feeling you are worshiping Not forgetting anything for Ramadan Nighttime also, we're praying and waking up for worshiping also. Giving your body, your spiritual body, power and nice feeding and feeling. As we have physical body, we want something to eat to make be power for spiritual also, need something to make it more power[ful]. Without doing anything, nothing can be improve. By your worshiping, you are obeying Allah Order you becoming, improving more and more to better.
And Ramadan, it is, there is night, the holiest night - Laylatu l-Qadr, and it is most of time after 20th of Ramadan. So, until end this month inshallah it will be, one of these nights inshaAllah. But when you are, every night, you respect this night Allah, He can give the honour of this night for you, also. And it is night better than thousand month. Thousand month meaning, maybe, around 80, 85 years, something like this. Because, there was in Bani Israil, some Prophets, 80 years they was fighting not taking off their armor from themselves. So, when Sahaba was hearing this, they surprising and they say :"What, it is too much". And Allah sent Jibril and said: "There was one night, it is better than this 80 years". Like Yusha ibn Nun, Sham'on and other one three of them, they was fighting 80 years.
But this night, Laylat-ul Qadr - who can meet in this night, it is better than 80 years in one night. So, Alhamdulillah, it is generosity of Allah for Prophet Muhammad (sas) Nation, to be looking for this night. And Allah giving from His Generosity. When He give from something, don't
say it is enough, it is enough for me. I don't want any more. This is rule for everything. Sometimes, Allah open for people - in business even, they have very good business, very good work and money coming for them like river. But people, shaytan make them to say: "No, it is enough for us, we don't want any more." When Allah close, it is difficult to open second time. So, when it is open, take! Don't say: " It is enough, thank you." And thank Allah. For spiritual [things] also, when it is open, don't say: "it is enough". Take as much you can take.
And there is countries, they are respecting Ramadan, you see everybody fasting and coming to mosque - mosque it is full. There is some country, like ours, you cannot feel any. When you go outside of dergah, you don't feel something from - everybody not fasting. They are drinking everything also. But it is ok, because why ? Because Allah send His blessing for all these people who living in this country. Who they want to take, Allah give them. But other, they don't want take, they are not fasting, they are not doing any good thing for Allah - not for Allah, for themselves because Allah, not in need for them. So angels, they are asking: "we give these people, their right, their gift?" And other, they don't want, they are not looking anything. What will we do this, we can bring it back? Allah, He said, "No. When something coming out from Me, it is not, I cannot take it more any. Give this people, who are fasting. If ten people not fasting, one people fasting, all this ten people’s [blessing] coming from [to] this man. So, it is good also. Don't be worry. They are free, if they like to take, they can fast. But, if they don't take, want, Allah give us and give Baraka of this fasting, Ramadan for country, not for people who are not fasting. And Baraka for who they are fasting. So, don't be sad. What we will do? They are clever, they are knowing right and they claiming they are very clever people. They can be responsible for themselves. We are only inviting people, we cannot force them. And Allah reward us if they come for good way Allah give us more Baraka inshaAllah. But, if not coming so Allah give us their reward.
And Ramadan, it is really nice month. Sometimes, you feeling difficult, you fear. But, it is the taste, it is very sweet. Who can take this taste, he miss Ramadan. Every time, it is like going, good guest going away from your house. You feeling little bit sad, little bit not happy. And
when coming, you are happy. It is taste for who, these people who respecting Ramadan, not for other. But, if other they are taking this taste and this sweetness, they will be also running after Ramadan. Like yesterday was one, our brothers, he bring food for iftar, and he was coming to Mawlana sometimes. He said: "I was bringing many people with me. You know our people they are not interesting for sheikh, for religion, for anything but because he is friend, they was coming just to make him happy. And they ask him: " Why you are going? No need to go." And he said when they are coming and kissing Mawlana hand and taking bless, after one week, three days, they saying, "Come on to go, to meet again sheikh." This time he was making joke: "Why? no need". "No," they said, "we wasn't know about sheikh and his bless and his sweetness. When we once met him, we like to meet him every time."
Ramadan also like this. If they take, taste of Ramadan, they will never leave it. Allah make this taste all time with us and to give for other people also. Allah to be in many Ramadan also together and to be better with Sayyidina l-Mahdi inshaAllah. We hope inshaAllah, next Ramadan to be give peace for this world inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
117.THE LAST NATION Friday, July 10, 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 lawwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina, dastur. Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
May our gatherings be beautiful and everlasting inshaAllah. We performed the last Juma of Ramadan today. May Allah accept it. May we reach many more Ramadans inshaAllah. Ramadan is passing with lots of worship now mashaAllah. The last thing to be done is the worship called sadaqat al-fitr, zakat al-fitr. Everyone must give it no matter rich or poor. Our Prophet said poor people should give other poor ones. What the poor gives will come back to him - as he's poor, others will give him too. No one is deprived from this worship. Moreover, zakat al-fitr became obligatory before actual zakat. As it is fard, because it is small amount compared to 1/40 normal zakat, people don't pay much attention to it. Whereas, it's a worship which became fard before Zakat.
It's not much. Everyone can afford it. Rich or poor, everyone can give it despite the amount. Because, as we said, poor people say "I'm not
dying from hunger, I can't give." When it comes to such good things and worship. In fact, what they'll give is maybe 5 liras. Because this fitr is calculated over flour, or grapes, or raisins or dates. What we call 1 sa' of flour is maybe 2 kilograms, or 3 kilograms. 3 kg won't make 5 liras. Poor ones can give it. They will have it anyway. The same will come to them. But as we said, the poor say they can't give when it's about worship. Same person cannot give up smoking no matter how poor he is, he will buy his cigarettes for sure. And with money paid for cigarettes a month he could sustain all his family.
The month of Ramadan was a chance to be rescued from smoking too. InshaAllah many people must quit. It poisons a human body and is sin as well. Because he makes himself suffer and makes people around suffer too. He does a very useless thing. It's something that has no value from all sides. Who couldn't quit during this Ramadan can do so during this last week or six remaining days to be more accurate. They should trust in Allah and ask for help, inshaAllah they will be able to quit. It will be a gift for Eid that they will be saved from this bad habit and poison. And they will bring halal provisions with that money to their children.
As we said, smoking is bad from all sides. It's bad for health, money is wasted. And money is wasted for haram because you take away from the provision of your children. You burn money and get poisoned. Even if smoking itself is not haram, it's haram to pay for it. May Allah protect all of us. And inshaAllah blessings of the end of Ramadan will be upon those who smoke so that they quit.
InshaAllah Laylat al-Qadr is also in these days. May it be holy for all of us. It is a gift of Allah to the nation of Muhammad. It's a special gift for the nation of our Prophet. Because, our Prophet used to say that there were 3 men from Bani Israel. They made jihad for 80 years without stopping. When sahabas bewailed they can't do that and can't reach that Allah Azza wa Jalla said that one night is better than 80 years. 1000 months make 80 years. It's better than that, and that night is Laylat ul- Qadr. And Allah Azza wa Jalla gave it to the nation of Muhammad. It is a grant and gift of Allah. Other nations didn't have it. Gifts given to the nation of Muhammad for the honor of our Prophet, all Prophets
wished for them saying, "If only we were not Prophets and were just people from his nation". All Prophets would wish so.
Therefore, we have been given a big favour. We are the nation of Muhammad, our Prophet. And it's not in our hands. Allah created us so. We can't come to this world as we like any time we want. Allah created us in such time and in such condition and granted us these beautiful gatherings. Shukr to Allah. We must give thanks for it. We must be happy. This world is the world of tests but with patience, its end becomes good, shukr to Allah. This world cannot be good all the time. Most times it requires patience from all sides. There is no comfort for believers in dunya. Only in akhira. Still shukr to Allah, when you thank Allah and know the value of His favours, these sufferings and troubles become easy for faithful people. They thank and praise Allah. These faithful people get their rewards.
People without belief either drink alcohol, or take drugs as their problems making more and more. They destroy themselves. At last, it's not enough and they commit suicide. They have no use and whatever they do is useless. Because they walk into fire, they don't run away from it. You have to seek refuge in Allah in order to escape from fire so that the fire becomes cool and nice like it was for Ibrahim alaihi salam. These troubles and sufferings can be like fire which came to Ibrahim alaihi salam. "Ya naru kuni bardan wa salaman 'ala Ibrahim"(21:69) You can live a cool and nice life. And you will find peace at last. And know the value of Laylat ul-Qadr. Nights nowadays are short anyway. If a person sleeps even an hour that night, it will be counted as if he stood awake the whole night. InshaAllah its baraka will be upon us. Ask for health and forgiveness continuously during these nights by saying "afwu wa l-afiyah". "Allahumma inna nas'aluka l-'afwa wa l- 'afiyah." Repeat it every night until Eid inshaAllah. This is the most valuable thing. Forgiveness of Allah and health. There can't be a bigger favour than health. To ask " 'afw " means to be on the right way. And may there be peace and health in our bodies inshaAllah. Allah make our days all blessed and happy.
Today the last day of Ramadan, Juma. It is holy day and holiest day for nation of Prophet (sas). Allah give this day for him. And it is last day
for last Juma. Next Juma, inshaAllah Friday, it will be Eid. So Alhamdulillah, we are coming to end of this holy month. Allah grant us endless blessing. Because He said "I am rewarding for this month". And we are happy we reached nearly to end this month, with His - what He is happy with us to do, His order. We trying to make it and we gathering together all people coming through long distance around, but most of them they are coming from very far to see, visit Mawlana also in Ramadan. And it is really good gift from Allah. Because Allah He create us in last nation and this nation, Allah give them many gift, specially holy night is Laylatu l-Qadr. It is like 1000 months, better than 1000 months. It is 1000 months, it's more than 80 years, 80. And many of old time prophets they was wishing to be one of this nation of Prophet (sas). Better than to be prophet. Many of them they wished to be like this. Alhamdulillah, Allah He is Creator, and He give us this chance, this good gift, and we are happy with this. We are thankful for Allah. Many people they not know about this. But Alhamdulillah who are - Allah give them this understanding and put them in good position - because it is also like dunya, some people they are rich, some people they are poor and some people they are dying from hunger. Also, this also lucky from Allah. To be rich for Akhirah, for next day, not only for dunya. The more important thing to be rich for Akhirah, for next life. And Allah give us this gift, Alhamdulillah. And there is also in Ramadan, the end of Ramadan, sadaqa, charity for everybody, he must give it. For fasting. Poor or rich, because it is not so much, it is very small. But it is, if you give it before salatul Eid, Eid praying, it is zakat. But after, if you forget and give after salat, it is sadaqa. And the difference between zakat and sadaqa, too much. Zakat it is obligatory. Sadaqa if you give 10,000 more than zakat, it is not, you cannot reach it. The more important to do it before salat al-Eid. And it is barakah for everybody and Allah grant poor people also to do it. Because if they give, also they will take it again. The people they will give them again, so it is no problem for them. But shaytan make it, it's too big for them.
Especially people who are poor people they say "we cannot pay, we cannot do anything, we are in very bad condition", but to give for cigarette they are find from where they find. They give for cigarette. And it is for one month it is enough even for whole family to live with
this money of cigarette. And it is very bad habit for everybody, for rich or for poor people. And Ramadan it was very good opportunity to not smoke anymore. And still there is 6 days until end of this month. And who are, he have good intention, Allah help him in these 6 days to finish from smoking illness. It is very bad illness, it is 100% bad. Not even 1% it is good. It is making, poisoning for these men who are smoking. And it is giving bad smell. And it is israf also. And it is haram -2 kinds haram - once because making yourself to be ill and second one, you are burning money. It is not acceptable to burn money. Why you take, you pay money and to bring and burn it there? Any clever one he put one dollar or 2 dollars and burn it there? They will be, they said to him "you are crazy". But they are giving $10, $20, I don't know how much, for every day for burning. And it is haram also, for this also.
But who have intention inshaAllah this month until this Ramadan, Allah help him to finish from this illness. Ask madad to help you, to get help to finish from this illness. And to give this sadaqa it is for everybody, small, big, for everybody. You must, for your family you must give. Before salatu l-Eid, after salatu l-Eid, as we said it is sadaqa. And Ramadan it is the most holiest month and it is nearly finished. But Alhamdulillah we are so happy because Allah help us and inshaAllah we are feeling His gift for spiritual body, even for physical body also because it is connected. It is so much powerful.
And we are inshaAllah hoping next year to be better with Mahdi (as), inshaAllah. This is important and we are believe because it is end of time. And it is not belief of some part of Muslim, No it is belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa l-Jama'a because there is, it must be Qiyamah, Judgement Day and it is near. Prophet (sas) he was saying, in hadith, in Quran even "iqtarabati as sa'atu" (54:1) meaning the time is approach very near. And it is everything in signs to, it is finish. All people they are... In Quran also - there is people they are like drunk, they are not knowing what happened. But it will come and it will be happened. InshaAllah who following right way he will be safe here and hereafter, inshaAllah.
Allah give us this opportunity to be with Mahdi (as) and to be in Janna
with Prophet (sas), and Mawlana Sheikh, to be neighbour for them inshaAllah.
Bi hurmati l-Fatiha.
118.THE SPECIAL ONES Saturday, July 11, 2015.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa ssalamu 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 Daghistani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa lkhayru fi jam'iyyah.
"Kullun muyassarun lima khuliqa lah." (Everyone will find it easy to do what he was created for). We're not sure, but I assume it is a hadith or a saying of holy men. Allah gave easiness in everything every man does. He created everyone for something and everyone has his own duty. Though every person looks the same, each one is different. There are billions of human beings. One cannot be exactly like the other. And each of them Allah created people suited to their jobs, with suitable characteristics, whether they be shepherds or farmers, doctors, workers, municipality workers, government employees, soldiers, policemen. Everyone has his duty. Allah created them according to that, to keep going on that duty.
But people don't accept it now. Everyone wants to study and graduate from universities to become engineers, doctors, lawyers. They want to be these the most. The world is going to be filled with them. It can't be.
Allah Azza wa Jalla created everyone suitable for a certain occupation. When a man does what he is suitable for, he continues his job with happiness and pleasure and continues his life with it. But people deceive them too by saying they can get a better job. They say "Leave this job, you can do better jobs" and despise the work for which Allah created the man suitable and in which He put ease. They try to dissuade others from their work and make them do other things. And afterwards they can't succeed in it. Thus people become destroyed and lose confidence in themselves. Whereas, if they are satisfied and say "I love this job, I should do it as my provisions come from it", it will be enough. They will live well and comfortably. But there are human shaitans, shaitan and ego. They oppress people in this world and send them all to hell in akhira. It is like this in everything. Say what you know and don't interfere in what you don't know, or don't give an opinion. If Allah showed you the right thing, if you're sure about, then say it. If not, no need. Don't embarass yourself. These things we say about are not only for common people, but also for hojas and those who think they are Sheikhs. When a man sees his Sheikh... Sheikh receives inspirations from Allah, spiritual manifestations come to him. He can see things that other people can't see and tell good things and give orders. Sometimes he can tell strange things, but that has its wisdom. It becomes useful for people afterwards. And because he's a Sheikh, he doesn't speak according to his mind. They are rare people. Sheikhs are not 1 in 1,000, one in a million. There may not even be one in 10 million or 100 million. There is no rule for those who follow a Sheikh to do as the Sheikh does. Your rule is to follow your Sheikh's prayers, fasting and worshippings. Don't interfere in other things. You should speak if you know. If you don't know and think "Sheikh would give nice orders I should do something too", then it will be a sin on you and you will have harmed people. You will be punished by Allah in akhira and your Sheikh won't look at you. Your Sheikh didn't order you so. His order: Say what you know, the right thing.
As I said, one day one of the holy men asked one of the Awliya, the head of the Abdal to make him one of them and take him with them. He said "Ok. Let's go, come with us." They went up to minaret. The Abdal gathered on top of minaret, Sheikh said "Let's go" and each of
them went off the balcony and flew and went. All of them came and disappeared. At last, the Sheikh said "Now it's your turn". The man had sold all his property, divorced his wife and left everything to become one of the abdal and to follow them. He struggled until the morning and couldn't jump. The Sheikh was by his side. It was his order. And if a man continues giving orders assuming he's a Sheikh, he would ruin all people there.
When he couldn't do it until morning, the Sheikh came back from his mission and saw he was still there and said "May Allah be pleased with you. You did what you could because it is not an order of shariat. If it was a shariat order, the Prophet would fly too, sahabas would fly too. But this is special. It's for tariqa. You can't do it, so you should leave it. Take your property back, get your wife back and sit in your place. No sin for you." This Sheikh is the real Sheikh. But there are crazy Sheikhs who ruin people and are of no use. We're giving this example as it is a remarkable example.
