Suhbah 2015: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (19/30)

ore there. They will pay you even more, so you better know your value. Stay there so that they know the value of your bad voice. The more money they give, the more you stay before leaving".
Most people are like this. He thinks he's doing good and people follow him. Whereas, people only tolerate him by swearing in order to get rid of him. Most people are like this. Only a few people like bad things. Whoever does bad it is only because they are defeated by their ego. Following one's ego dishonours a person. It makes him fall into a ridiculous situation. Therefore, may Allah protect all of us from the evil of our egos. We are speaking about people who trying to teach people something, they're not... no different than these people. How they learning, teaching people, good or not good? But most people they are teaching people bad thing, bad action, bad doing. Only very few you can find who are teaching people good thing. Even they are teaching bad thing but they are showing people it is the best thing, they are top of knowledge. But it is cursed and it is doing very bad thing for human being, for people. For everything they are doing bad thing. It is not good what they are doing, what they are teaching because they are teaching by themself and their ego. And they are knowing when we are saying something it will be take long time to people to know it, if it is good or not good.
Some of them they write book about Communism. After they died, after 50 year Communism coming and it was curse for all human being and millions, hundred millions died. And destroying everything. After this, the people they said 'it was wrong'. How this? But these people who are thinking they are doing good thing but they are also knowing they are just for to make their ego satisfied they are doing this. And the
crazy people trying to make it true. It is one example for what ego can do for the human being; how it is bad for the human being. It is just one from thousand, from million idea these people they are trying to do. Only to make their ego high and to make their name to be famous, they are doing this. But Alhamdulillah, most of them, nobody care about them now. But still they are doing and they are finding follower for every bad thing. Some people and they are thought they are valuable for human being, for country people, but people they are fed up from these people.
Now they coming by another type. They are now, they are trying, they are saying "we are the best, we are know about knowledge of Islam. We are know about everything. You are all people, wrong. You are all in wrong way". But it is like one man, old time he built one nice mosque, very nice mosque. And one man he come and he said "can I be muezzin for this mosque?" This man he was gentle and he is polite he said, "ok, you can do azan", and he was doing azan. His voice, it was the worst voice. It is like crow or more worse. And these people they was complaining "what is this?" And he couldn't say to him 'go away'. Just he thinking and he find, said, "there's another village they want muezzin. I give you 20 lira, you go there, they will be happy". And he went. After a while he come and said "You cheat me. These people they are giving 30 lira for me to leave this". This man he was laughing for him. He said, "No, you stay. They will give you more to go away".
It is like this, these people now, they are doing, they thought they are doing good but they are doing worse and all people they are fed up from them. Praying for Allah - O Allah, take this bala from Ummatu Muhammad." InshaAllah, Allah put them to oppressor people to fight with oppressor people, and to finish all of them, inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
126.HAJJA ANNE Sunday, July 19, 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 Haqqani dastur. Madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyah
Allah created everyone, He created everything. He created them as He likes. Nobody is created by their own wish, ordering "I want to be this, I want to be that. I want to be black, white, a man or a woman". People are created according to the will of Allah. And they are created in such way that nobody has a right to claim he's better than the other. However, who is better in Allah's sight? The one who obeys Allah, is good says Allah Azza wa Jalla. "Inna akramakum 'inda Allahi atqakum" (49:13)(the most honored in the sight of Allah is the God- fearing) Allah created you different tribes, nationalities and colors. But no one can say "We are better than them" or "We are superior to them". It is mindless to say so because a man is not created by his will. Allah Azza wa Jalla created him. The real point is to be satisfied with how you were created and then the secret of this matter is how you can be better than the rest of people. And that is by carrying out the orders of Allah, doing goodness to people, and avoiding bad actions. That is by fearing Allah. Should we fear Allah? We should. Fear those who don't fear Allah because who doesn't fear Allah can do anything.
"Inna akramakum 'inda Allahi atqakum" (49:13) Some knowledgeable people who make religion as fashion say we shouldn't fear Allah. No. If
you don't fear Allah, then you fear your ego. You follow your ego. Nothing else. Why are we saying this? A man or a woman, no one is superior to the other. Only by obeying Allah and by carrying out Allah's orders can one be superior.
A woman can be superior to a man. There are many Awliya women. The wife of pharaoh, our mother Asiya. Her husband was pharaoh but she was a believing woman. Her name is written in Qur'an. Our mother Maryam. The mother of our Prophet, mother Amina. Rabiya al- Adawiyah. There are thousands of holy women. They reached the highest stations. They served for Allah and didn't rebel against Allah by saying "Why did You created us as women?" They carried out Allah's orders and served Him. They were raised to the highest stations.
One of them was our late Hajja Anne. She served Sheikh Effendi. Hajja Anne served Sheikh Effendi for 50 years. And she left to heaven 10-11 years ago. Truly she had been paralyzed before her death. Her face had changed. When she died, she became like before and full of light. You couldn't say she was dead. It was so apparent. Her station was revealed. Sheikh Effendi is a witness too that among 40 saints, 7 are women. He said one of them was Hajja Anne, may Allah sanctify her secret. May Allah grant us her intercession.
Some people now say "alaihi rahma" for Sheikh Effendi. Common people can say so but our brothers, people of tariqa, should say "may Allah increase his station", "may his maqam be higher", or "may we attain his intercession". Because they are Awliya servants of Allah, Allah's beloved servants. We should say it differently than common people. Mercy is mercy for everyone. Praising Awliyas and saying so is better for you.
Our Hajja Anne, shukr to Allah, didn't harm anyone. She gave benefit to all of our brothers, those who saw and those who didn't see her. Because she was a person who supported and served Sheikh Effendi since the beginning, didn't demand anything and wasn't a burden on him. Therefore, Sheikh Effendi turned to Allah with all his being. He had no worldly worries. He wasn't worried about his children, shukr to
Allah. Our Hajja Anne was both blessed and skillful, shukr to Allah. She served a lot and was patient. She was very pleased with her condition. And she never complained to anyone or said she was impatient, shukr to Allah. She was satisfied with her life. And she loved people and our brothers. Therefore she has a right of service over everyone. InshaAllah she will be an intercessor to them too. May Allah increase her station inshaAllah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla He create everything, every creature. And human being also, Allah Creator. He is the only God. No need for anybody to help Him. And He create different people. Some of them different tribe and colors, different colors, different language. He create man and woman. Everything He create and He is not asking you how you like to be created, so I can maybe I must be a little bit stronger, little bit taller, more handsome. No, Allah He create you black, white, yellow, red. He create. You cannot say. You cannot be proud "I am white". You cannot proud, "I am yellow", "I am white". No, you cannot say this because you didn't create yourself. Allah He create everybody and everybody he must be happy with this.
This is first thing, everybody equal. But there is another thing after this -the best for Allah, the most loved for Allah, is who obeying Allah. He doing what Allah ordered to do. And he afraid from Allah, to do any wrong thing. They said you must afraid from people who are not afraid from Allah, from God because they don't have anything to prevent them from to do any wrong thing. But there is philosophy people, they said you mustn't be afraid from Allah. We are afraid, we said we are weak, we are afraid from Allah. It is not shame, not wrong thing. Who are not afraid from Allah, he is afraid from people. He is afraid from low, afraid from ego, afraid from everything but not afraid from Allah. But who afraid from Allah, he not afraid from anything else. This is one, also second thing.
Third thing it is to be woman or to be man, it is not a problem also. Who are near for Allah, he is in high position. He is more higher than other. Every people equal but now it is coming to be higher and higher. Who is higher? Not you are white you must be high. No. If you are worshipping and obeying Allah, the highest one you are. If you are
black, if you are green, you are yellow, whatever you but when you are following order of Allah and obeying you are the highest one. And this is was for ladies also. Like wife of the Pharaoh who was fighting with Sayyidina Musa, her name was Asiya. She is mentioning in Quran, many place, and Maryam, daughter of Imran, and mother of Prophet (sas). Rabiya al-Adawiyyah, thousand of women they get the highest position in Divine Presence. And they was women. No problem for them because they have wisdom of what they... Allah create them like this. The cannot be seen themselves are lower than other people. No, they are very high.
And there was many like this and the last one Hajji Anne, she also. She was helping all of us. Even until now everybody can benefit from her service, from her helping because she was helping Mawlana, not asking anything, just doing everything for him and he was only looking for helping for Allah to help ummat, nation of Prophet (sas). She wasn't complain, she wasn't to do anything wrong with people, all, every time she helped people and she get the highest maqam, Alhamdulillah. And we say Allah make her to take shafa'a (intercession) for us for Jannah, to be with them inshaAllah.
When we say, mentioning Mawlana or mentioning awliyaullah like her or other, you must say 'qaddas Allahu sirrahu'. Because other, some people who they don't know, they say 'rahmatullah alayh', it's ok also 'rahmatullah' but for to make praising them, to make benefit for us we must say like this. Allah make their maqam higher and higher, and to make us to be with them in Jannah, inshaAllah, all together inshaAllah. Because they are in highest position and people who they are loving, we loving them, we loving awliya Allah, and all these beloved people for Allah, inshaAllah, we will be with them. Direct to Jannah, no need to be in hot sun like in Judgment Day. Quickly go. Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
127.COME BACK TO ALLAH Monday, July 20, 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. Madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
A man never feels regret for things done for Allah, done purely for the pleasure of Allah. When a man does this, he doesn't regret either in dunya and will find its reward in akhira.
Our ancestors brought Islam everywhere to raise the word of religion for the pleasure of Allah. They brought Islam to the island of Cyprus too. Muslims since the time of Hz. Abu Bakr, sahabas came to Cyprus. There are many martyred sahabas on this island. Among the known ones there are Hz. Hala Sultan, Hz. Omer. These holy ones are sahabas too, those who are in Girne. In general, there are so many martyred sahabas, more than 1,000 in Cyprus.
Since those times, this island has been under Muslim rule from time to time. And finally, it was completely ruled during the Ottomans as a part of the Islamic Caliphate government. They never felt regret. So many things were done. Then this and that happened. By the wisdom of Allah, at the end Turks conquered it in 1974 as it is today. But this time it was done not for raising the word of religion, but for other purposes. They are in such condition now that everything is mixed up. If it was done for Allah there would be no problem. It wasn't done for Allah.
Then, I have to say it now here, before help came from Turkey and people started immigrating here, all the mosques were full on Fridays and Ramadans with local people. Now they're not full even with those who came. Who came here got spoilt too because there was no sincerity. That's why, there're always problems. And what shall we do? Isn't there a solution for this? There is, with Allah's permission. Turn to Allah. Allah will help you. Like He helped our ancestors, He will help you. It is as easy as that.
Now I see that people are going astray more and more. Therefore, there can't be help, only regret like - "If only we did, if only we didn't..." Shukr to Allah, Allah gave us such a beautiful place. We should thank Allah and come back to Him. We should do what Allah tells us so that He helps us inshaAllah. May this beautiful land be cheered with adhans, Qur'an and Islam. Light will come with this. Otherwise, it won't. Only darkness will come.
Allah gives everyone his right today too, He doesn't oppress any Muslims, no one. Even if non-Muslims live in the same place, their rights will be given too. This is Allah's order. Therefore, everything will be solved. As long as the order of Allah is followed, everything works out. But when you follow shaitan, thousands of problems occur and there is no peace, only badness and all types of discomfort. Allah is calling you to peace. Shaitan is calling you to poverty and evil. You decide whichever you want and see.
Allah Azza wa Jalla He make our will to follow what? It must be follow His Will. But many times people they are doing something by their will and the day after they become regretful.
This island it was since after Prophet (sas), Sayyidina Abu Bakr time, they were coming for conquer, to make it, to put light of Islam in this island also. Since that time Muslims they was coming to this island, to Cyprus. And it was many of Sahaba coming here, they was many of them become shaheed here, they when they fighting, or they are from something because many of them coming here. We know Hala Sultan in Larnaca, in Cyrenia also there is Hazrat Umar, there is maybe 7, 8 Sahaba but they don't know their names but they have place for them.
But normally, some people they said maybe more than 1000 Sahaba, they was in Cyprus, they was become shaheed (martyred) here. For it was near and coming, going and fighting. So it was many of them but because small group no place, you cannot know where they are. And it was like this many times after Muslims take over, or taking out, and the in end Ottoman Caliphate of Islam he was opening and putting justice in this island and everybody was happy. But after also they was only for Allah, they doing this. They are not for benefit. So when they do something like this for Allah you do this, you will not be sorry for what you done. You do this for Allah and Allah He reward you, here and hereafter also.
But after these people, when they are coming... And there was no problem. In, before 40 years again coming here to help Turkish people. So they was coming for intention to help, not for Allah. Only for helping or something. And the problem coming very bad for these people. And they are regretful - "why we do this? How we will finish this problem?" Every time they are have headache from here. Because they are not doing this for Allah. And before this happened there was maybe half or less than half population, the real Cypriot people, not come from Turkey and mosque Juma time was full. Ramadan was full from local people. After when they finish, they coming and everything is good for them. They are, even with people who coming from Turkey, it is not full. And who coming from Turkey he become worse than our people also. All becoming out of order of Allah. And Allah He not helping them.
Big favour He give them, He give them this big land, big everything they got here. But when they're against Allah, Allah not give them baraka, not give them help. They are becoming like in a prison. And what we will do now? There is solution for this. Come back to Allah, Allah He will help you. This is very easy solution but of course for ego it is very difficult for ego to come back to Allah. Allah saying: Allah calling people to peace (10:25). To be in peace. And ego and shaitan calling people to be poor, to be problem, to be miserable. This is writing in Quran, and this is what happened now. And we are asking Allah to give hidayat (guidance) for these people to not go, put
all what they done, for nothing. Everywhere like this. When you do something for Allah you never be regretful. But when you do for yourself every time you are saying 'why I do this, why I done that?' All time asking yourself and you, you are not happy. Allah give hidayat for all of us inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
128.THE LIGHT OF MY EYES Tuesday, July 21, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur. Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
There were 3 things, that our Prophet (sas) loved in this world. What he loved most was praying. "Prayer is the light of my eyes" said Our Prophet (sas). Obligatory prayers of course, after obligatory prayers the best, most valuable voluntary prayer is Night praying says our Prophet (sas). After Isha even if you pray 2 rakaats that is considered as night praying prayer. Its reward, after obligatory prayers, is the highest reward of prayers.
But more valuable is at the end of the night, closer to Fajr prayer, the tahajjud (night) prayers. You can pray as much as you want. Either 2 rakaats or 8 rakaats or 12 rakaats. Our Prophet (sas) says it is barakah. Our Prophet (sas) not only prayed 2 rakaat, 8 rakaat, he used to pray non-stop. Even his feet got swollen, when he prayed at night. He prayed so much that Allah sent verses about him that Allah forgives so much. The verses say: "Pray as much as you can. Pray half the night, pray one third of it, even less you can pray".
But Our Prophet (sas) says, especially for those Hafidh Quran who teach Quran, "these night prayers are obligatory." Of course there are other obligatory prayers but Our Prophet (sas) shows its importance and says that there is great benefit for those, claiming to be scholars, teachers. They are inspired so that they give benefit to people and their knowledge increases. Our Prophet (sas) used to pray tahajjud standing up and when he was tired or when he was sick, he was sitting down,
because it is a voluntary prayer it is not like obligatory prayers, you can pray when you are seated. A couple of days ago there was a doctor here, he said: "To be awake at that time of the night is essential for the whole body's health. If you are awake at that time, all your organs work." Allah made our brother speak well. It is also mentioned in the Hadith that it is a cure. Getting up at night and praying is healing. For sure, what is given to his heart comes out from the light, knowledge of our Prophet (sas). He is a sincere person. People would not need medicine then. He says "Now when people come to the hospital, they are already finished, nothing left in their bodies. As if they are saying "Come on revive us". But to protect their bodies, before they get sick, they should worship, they should train their bodies, so that the body gets stronger both the body and the soul. When soul gets stronger, body also gets stronger. Gets healthy. This is the most important thing.
Our Prophet (sas) said "Ask for good health and forgiveness" (Afuw wa ‘afiya) so that Allah may forgive us. These are crucial. Sleep makes you lazy. It is not good to sleep more than 8 hours. It is ok to wake up at night, pray night prayer and fajr then you can rest. But if you sleep continuously body cannot get power and doesn't become healthy. Like we said health is a great blessing. There are times when Allah gives that. There are times when He gives more, and when He gives less. So we should be careful about that.
Our Prophet (sas) showed us everything, Islam showed us everything. The best knowledge, the best things to teach and to learn is in Islam. When you follow our Prophet (sas) you can learn all that perfection. May Allah grant all of us to wake up at night. It is difficult to wake up at night, very heavy for the ego. InshaAllah it is easy for all of us. Prophet (sas) he said the most thing he love in life, he said, 3 thing: one of them, the most he love - praying. "It is my eyes' light" he said, it is very important, very lovely for him also. He was praying day and night. He said the praying nighttime it is the best after obligatory praying 5 times. The most important after this, the most valuable, night praying.
Night praying he said, after Isha until Fajr, it is night. And you must
maybe, if you cannot wake up for night, before sleeping you must make wudu, ablution, and make 2 rakat for night praying. But the best time it is the end of night, last one-third of night - Tahajjud. That time you can wake up and pray 2 rakat, 4 rakat, 8 rakat. Can pray another like tasbih, like najat, shukr - all of them you can pray that time. Allah reward you the highest reward for these.
Prophet (sas) he was saying, "Who praying that time, he is getting the blessing and getting health also". Health - before there was one doctor from our brothers. He's valuable professor, was speaking with him, he said, "the most important time for body, human body, it is time between 4 o'clock after midnight. All your body working, Kidney, liver, lungs, all of them wanting to work but when you are sleeping they cannot do anything, just all sleeping. But if you wake up and doing something it will get benefit for your health." And SubhanAllah, hadith of Prophet (sas) exactly he said, he said this. To pray nighttime, it is baraka and health. And many people, this doctor he said, when they coming to hospital they are finished, they was finishing their all body what can repair by itself. And they coming to just little bit to help them to continue living.
But they can be much better, no need for medicine, no need to be like going like ill people, they everywhere, pain, everywhere miserable. You can be very healthy if you follow order of Allah and way what Prophet (sas) he show us. Because they are showing the best thing in this life and for other life, of course. When you follow them you get benefit and you get blessed. And of course not easy because you have ego, you have shaitan - they make you to sleep, 'Oh, don't. Close this alarm after 2 minutes you can wake up'. You wake up when 9 o'clock. It is like this, cheating people. You can feel this by your hand. You touch it by hand, how they cheating you. So don't be cheated, be careful. And when you wake for praying you can pray before fajr also, pray fajr, after you can sleep, it's ok. But to be in that time - it is very important.
For awliya also. All, they was saying to be careful for this to be awake in that time, not to be sleep. And night praying, if you are tired you can pray when you are sitting. Prophet (sas) was doing this also. He is sitting and praying, when you are ill you sit, pray there, because it's
Nafila not obligatory, you can by sitting. Allah give us strong, to be more stronger than our egos, to wake up for night, to get blessed by spiritual and to be strong, body also. Because Prophet (sas), he was... Some asking Prophet, "What we ask for from when we are making dua?" He said, "Ask health and ask forgiveness" (afuw wa ‘afiya). This is 2 very important and we must, we try to help ourself without going to doctor or going to take medicine.
Once they sent one of king's doctor for Prophet (sas), for look for these people. Doctor he was coming and sitting 2 months, 3 months, nobody coming to him. He said 'what is it, nobody ill?' They said 'we are following Prophet(sas) no need for doctor' so he went back. It is like this one - if you are following order of Allah, doctor will be jobless.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
129.WORSHIP LIKE BREATHING Thursday, July 23, 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 Mashaykhina dastur, Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Haqqani madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah created us and taught us everything. He also orders us to be on the right path. He orders us to do good. He orders us to obey Him. Believers should always act according to Islam, according to Allah's order, so that you may find peace.
Now children start praying at 7 years old, 10 years old - they pray once, twice, "when is this finishing?" they say. It does not finish. With Allah's permission, inshaAllah it does not finish until we die. It continues. You should accept it like this. Do not bargain - I do it now, I will do it later, I will do all of them later - do not make such a habit. Just like Allah taught us to breathe, to eat, to sleep, to travel - it has to be like this for a believer.
A believer in Allah should not even think about bargaining. Do not even give your ego a small compromise. It is like this. Allah's order is to pray. Allah's order is zaka. Allah's order is Hajj. Allah's order is fasting. You should do them all. Do not find excuses. Do not get used to excuses. Can you live without drinking water? I will not drink water today, I drank a lot of water all my life. If you use this as an excuse your body will become unwell this time, you will have to drink out of necessity. Praying should be like this. Just as water gives life, praying will give you life. Without it, you are like a carcass, nothing else. You are a piece of meat. You are useless. If you are an animal at least your meat has a value. Human meat has no value. It can only have value with spirit and prayer.
Do not look for anything else. For this reason worshiping, doing good, keeping Allah's order, you cannot bargain. We are created with this, we will live with this, we cannot live without it. We will continue like this inshaAllah until the end of our lives. Do not bargain. You cannot bargain with Allah. Because Allah, Allah forbid, it is His order, nothing else. No bargain. You keep Allah's order. Allah raises you, Allah makes you higher. May Allah give you goodness.
Allah created us and He gives us what naturally we doing. We are sleeping, we are eating, we are drinking, we are laughing, we are crying. This is, Allah give us this thing to do. But He is order also, He give us order. When beginning child from 7 year, or 10 year to pray sometime asking pray 1,2,3, when it will be finished, this? This is inshaAllah not finished until we are leaving this world. This is habit and this is what natural also. It must be with us until we are leaving, until dying. We must do this like natural, like eating, like drinking. You cannot bargain with - 'today I will not eat, this month I will not eat, this month I will not drink.' You cannot bargain like this. If you do this you will be weak, you will feel thirsty, quickly you go and eat and drink. For worshipping also it must be like this. To be like this for you, to not make it bargaining. 'Today I am very tired, I cannot pray'. 'This month it is very hot, I cannot fast'.
No, it is just for you, just you must accept. No bargaining. Just say 'ok, today we finish praying, today we fasting'. No complaining, nothing. It is one of our nature - it must be for believer. Not to be lazy, not to be complaining at all. For every order of Allah, praying, fasting, going to Hajj, you make zaka, everything He order it must be like cutting? No, you cannot bargaining. Only accept and be happy with this. Because He give us this to make us high.
Without doing this, what His order, you are like carcass. Carcass. Your meat, carcass. A human being, even their meat you cannot eat. You can't do anything, just... some people they are burning, some burying. It is like this, no benefit from this body. After when, but if you doing Allah order Allah make you high to be ikram, blessed. Honoured and blessed. But who not doing this - animal meat you can use but human meat you cannot. Only with order of Allah and to be this habit in you it
is making you in high station, valuable.
Because Allah create us for worshipping Him and to make best, and to accept what His order. So if you accept His order and you be satisfied with this no matter for you how it is hot or cold or tired. Everything it is just like you are breathing, just you are eating. It is one of your habits -it must be. Allah make this easy for us and acceptable. And when you accept this you be like nothing affect you. You are be pure. Cannot any dirty come on you to affect you. Allah make us like this inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
130.GOOD PEOPLE FIND EACH OTHER Friday, July 24, 2015.
Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur, Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
"Wa t-tayyibatu li t-tayyibina wa t-tayyibuna li t-tayyibati" (24:26) We read this ayat: Good ones, good people are with good people says Allah Azza wa Jalla in Qur'an al-Karim. Allah puts good people with good ones and separates the bad ones. This is so in general. Sometimes it happens otherwise. That's not important because mostly, people who are not good see good ones differently. And because they see them differently, they don't like them. A man gets along well with those who are like himself. He doesn't value and doesn't like someone who's not like him and speaks the opposite of what he knows. He even becomes an enemy. A man is an enemy to what he doesn't know. This is the nature of mankind. Allah Azza wa Jalla created him so. Therefore, sometimes these people... You should invite everyone to Haqq, invite to faith. But mostly people... Allah Azza wa Jalla says to our Prophet too, even though you try, most people are faithless. Their faith is weak. Therefore, people who are with good ones have attained a big favour, a favour from Allah. Allah wanted them so. They will be with good ones in dunya and more important than dunya, in akhira. Who are with good ones will reach eternal happiness. Qiyama will be very easy for them. Others who are not good, some of them will wait for hundreds years, some will wait for thousands years in Mahshar. Some will wait for 100,000 years. But good ones will gather under the Throne of Allah, under the flag of our Prophet. There is no other shade than that. Now we have sun here. You put something on your heads when you go out or sit under a tree where there is shade. This heat is nothing next to the heat of Qiyama. The heat of Qiyama is described with the voice of our Prophet by Allah Azza wa Jalla. People's brains will boil in that heat. There won't be any shade except where our Prophet is. Those who did good and good ones will be in that shade. No chance for others. As we said, this heat is nothing compare to the heat of that time. Therefore, it is good to be with good people. It is nice
to be with good ones. It will be good both in dunya and in akhira. If you are with bad people in dunya, you will have troubles also. But when you are with the good ones, no one can say anything to those who are on the right way. Therefore, when you look for a friend, when you plan to get married, when you look for a spouse or friend, or a comrade, they should be good ones. Stay away from bad ones. They are nothing but trouble. They are trouble both in dunya and in akhira. Stay away from them. May Allah gather us with good ones. May Allah put us with good ones in dunya and in akhira. Don't say "This man has so much money. This woman is so beautiful". These are just traps. Just like an insect is caught, you will be destroyed too. You will get stuck in some bad place and won't find an escape. Beware. Allah Azza wa Jalla He said in the ayah we read: the good people or good ladies with good men. And Allah give good men for good ladies also. This is for marriage, surah, ayat. And Allah said when they find together Allah open for them the, His Mercy Doors and He generous, give them gift. Give them wideness in life also. This is for everything, not only for marriage. Good people, all time they are together, coming together. They find each other. Other people because the people, if you are not like them they are not happy with you. You must be like them. If you are good they are have standard, how must be this man good for them. He must, first thing he must drink alcohol and he must not be mutadayyan - religious, not be religious. He must be only for dunya. Many things for them. They are not interesting at all with what Allah ordered and when somebody tell them this they are not happy with it, with him. For this many people Allah Azza wa Jalla saying, the most people, saying to Prophet (sas), if you are even you are try to make them to be come to right way the most of people they are not believer. This is common thing. So for this the good people they must be find each other, not to be with bad people. When you see people who you must be friend with them you must be careful. When you will marry also you must be careful also to find good one, not to find one who are fighting everyday with you, "You must do this good thing you must do what I want". No, you must be away from these people. Because these people they are not good for you here and hereafter. Because here, in this hot you cannot stand under sun here, you find some shadow. But in Judgment Day no shadow, only shadow of Prophet (sas) and the shadow of Throne of Allah. Only believer they can be there. And these
days if you are in dunya with good people, Akhirah you will be safe, you be in shade and you quickly going to Paradise. But these people here they cannot stay 5 minute under sun, they will stand there maybe 100 years, maybe 1000 years, maybe 5000 years. Even 100,000 years there is people they will stay there, under the sun, nothing. And this sun boiling your brain also. Very hot and no... only like this. These people who are not believer they are not thinking. Only they are thinking for 1 minute, for 1 hour, but not thinking for thousands of years they will be suffering from what they was doing. So we must be careful for who we will marry, who will be your friend, and you don't be with bad people. Only with order of Allah, to be with good people. To find good people, inshaAllah.

131.HALA SULTAN
Saturday, July 25, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur, Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa lkhayru fi jam'iyyah.
InshaAllah now we are going to make a visit, a holy visit to Hazrat Hala Sultan. Mawlana used to say that this visit is the most important visit in the Islamic world; first comes Hala Sultan then comes the visiting of Ayyub Sultan Hazrat. It is very important and holy. Hala Sultan is the sister of our Prophet's (sas) wet nurse that's why they called her "aunt". Ummuharam binti Milhan Hazrat. With the miracle of our Prophet (sas) I mean she witnessed the miracle. It is both blessing to the nation of Muhammad and also that miracle was told.
When our Prophet (sas) was in Medina he used to visit her all the time, because she was his aunt. He used to rest and sleep there. One day he (sas) went to visit her. His aunt was combing his holy hair, our Prophet's (sas) holy hair. He was overcome by drowsiness, our Prophet (sas) lay down and fell asleep. He woke up smiling. The holy lady asked him (sas) "What did you dream my Master, you woke up smiling?" He said; "I saw companions from my nation they were sitting upon thrones and travelling the seas to the Green Island - it means in order to conquer Cyprus they are going like that. They go in thrones, they go by ships. How blessed, I was happy for that. That's why I'm laughing, smiling." said our Prophet (sas). He was so pleased. Our Prophet (sas) says that fighters on the sea have more reward than the fighters on the land. They are rewarded two times more. The holy lady said "Pray so that I will be one of them". Our Prophet (sas) prayed; "You shall be one of them".
He slept a second time. Our Prophet (sas) woke up the same way. She asked again "Why is it so? What did you dream our Master?" Our Prophet (sas) said; "I saw the same dream, some of my nation were travelling in the sea on thrones. I was happy, I smiled" he said. "Pray for me so that I shall be one of them" said she. Our Prophet (sas) said
that it is not possible because when she came to Cyprus, after the war, Hala Sultan landed, went on shore. She was old she was riding on an animal. When that animal got scared she fell down and was martyred there. There was no need for a second time. That is a miracle of our Prophet (sas). He did not pray for her, because she would not be around for the second time She would be martyred in the first trip. She was buried in this holy place. She is a blessing for this island, Cyprus. This miracle happened so that this land stays as a Islamic region until the end of time. This is the miracle of our Prophet (sas). It is a blessing for this island. No matter how many unbelievers come and go, with Allah's permission, Islam continues here. It stays until the end of the world because it is full of both Sahabas and full of Awliya (saints) here. Thanks to Allah, our Shaykh and Hajja Anne are also here. They are all Islam's title deed/flag. It is a Muslim island until the end of the world InshaAllah. They give blessings. Ask their blessings, their blessings are enough for everyone. Muslim or non Muslim, whoever is on this island, because when blessing comes there is no distinction, it is sent on everyone. Some people know, whoever does not know it does not matter.
We are, today we are going inshaAllah to visit Hala Sultan. She is the holiest place, before, even more holier than Abu Ayub al-Ansari, from Istanbul, this Mawlana he was saying this. It's very important and it is baraka for this island, for everybody. Who are respecting her, everybody, Allah reward him. It was miracle from Prophet (sas) how she came here, because she is Auntie of Prophet (sas), from long distance and she is auntie also to be with milking mother sister.
And he was going to her house frequently in Medina. Once he was there, and she was combing his hair and he was lying down. She was combing hair mubarak hair, his holy hair. And he was sleeping little bit. And he was waking up, was smiling, laughing, little bit. She was asking what you see and you are happy and you are laughing like this? He said I saw from my companion they're riding throne in sea and they are going to conquer green island. I am happy with these people. Green island meaning Cyprus. And to be fighting in sea it is more double reward from fighting in land. Prophet (sas) was encouraging to these people because more danger to be navy or to be in sea, it is not easy. It is more danger.
And she was saying, asking Prophet (sas) "Oh, pray for me to be with them". He pray for her, "InshaAllah, you'll be with them, this is big honour for you for, to be with them". And he again, he slept and he was
again wake up. She ask again, he said, "I am seeing another people from my nation they are also going in sea by throne to open this island, to conquer". She ask again, "Oh", she maybe thought same one, make dua for me to be with them". He said "No", because in first one when they conquered here they was fighting around and they coming to land and she was in mule and she was old, making shaking. Taking her down, she was shaheed there. Martyred. And this was miracle, she was in this first one and she was martyred.
And she, wisdom to be baraka for this island until Qiyamah. And it is blessed place. Who respect her and go visit her, everybody can get benefit. Alhamdulillah, this island, many people coming, going, but it will be until Qiyamah flag of Islam. Because many Sahaba, many Awliya specially Mawlana Shaykh, Hajja Anna, all here. They are all like "tapu" flag for this island, for Islam. So, no matter who respecting, not respecting, it is not important for Allah. Allah He is putting them and He is make it like this until Qiyamah. No matter.
Normally for Eid, Mawlana Shaykh was saying Eid ul-Adha third day, they going to ziyarah there. This Eid is ok, when we going, we go but next in Dhi l-Hajjah, Eid ul-Adha, we will inshaAllah, third day, we be in ziyarah for that maqam also. It is custom of this island. So if anybody come here, so he must be not coming third day. Second, fourth day, but for third day we must be inshaAllah, ziyarah Hala Sultan. Allah give blessed of these Sahaba and Awliyaullah for us, inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
132.DESCRIPTION OF IGNORANCE Sunday, July 26, 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 Mashaykhina, dastur, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla invited people to Allah, to Himself. People run away from Him. Or some people stay away without even knowing. Ignorance, that is ignorance. You studied, went to university. If you do not know Allah, that is ignorance. Ignorance means not knowing. Not knowing is ignorance. Not knowing the Creator, not respecting Allah is ignorance. Jahiliyyati l-ula (the first age of ignorance) our Prophet (sas) used to call the ignorant people in his time. He called them ignorant. They knew Allah Almighty but they had many other gods. They were polytheists or unbelievers. After that, the second age of ignorance is worse said our Prophet (sas) - the ignorance of our time now. Not knowing Allah at all, not believing in Allah - the real ignorance is now. The harm it does to people - ignorant people are harmed in this life, also will be more harm for them in the hereafter. Follow Allah's way, know Allah, ma'arifatu Allah. The path that leads to knowing Allah is a big blessing. Mawlana used to say "Everyday you must prostrate to your Lord." The ones, who do not prostrate, even though he says he is successful in this world, he has nothing, he gets no benefit. He neither can help himself, nor anyone else. His inheritors will spend his fortune and he won't get the slightest benefit. But the ones, who know Allah help themselves anyway. Their inheritors also get benefit. Many people come, visit us. They say their business is not good. Are you praying? Most people do not know because they are not taught. Nobody taught them. They did not learn. InshaAllah from now on, it is ok to cut your losses, better late than never. From now on say Bismillah and start. If you do not know any
verse, sura, do it with Bismillah until you learn. It is not difficult to learn. You can learn in a couple of days. But until you learn, do not waste your time, start praying immediately. Pray as much as you can. Learn, you will get used to it, and then you will start praying all. Learning to pray is a big blessing, it is benefit for people. I mean nobody else will benefit from your praying, Allah will not benefit from your praying. You will benefit from it. Allah is merciful. He likes people to be on the right path. He does not oppress anyone. People oppress themselves. So, if you want everything to go well, both here and hereafter, go on the way Allah.
Slowly, as much as you can. It is better than nothing. Instead of doing nothing even if you only say Allah, still it is benefit. Even if you do not pray, if you say Allah it is better than talking nonsense. Instead of talking nonsense if you say Allah there is benefit in it. Better than nothing. This is a good saying. Even an atom slowly multiplies increases inside the heart, your light increases, your belief, blessings increase. So do not say "I cannot do it", and leave it all - that is not good. Do as much as you can. Allah Azza wa Jalla is merciful, is forgiving. "I did my best" you can say. If Allah forgives, He forgives. If you say I did nothing, you yourself suffer your punishment. May Allah give all of us that love, that support, that willingness and energy to work hard. Lets stay away from laziness inshAllah. Laziness is sat

ore there. They will pay you even more, so you better know your value. Stay there so that they know the value of your bad voice. The more money they give, the more you stay before leaving".
Most people are like this. He thinks he's doing good and people follow him. Whereas, people only tolerate him by swearing in order to get rid of him. Most people are like this. Only a few people like bad things. Whoever does bad it is only because they are defeated by their ego. Following one's ego dishonours a person. It makes him fall into a ridiculous situation. Therefore, may Allah protect all of us from the evil of our egos. We are speaking about people who trying to teach people something, they're not... no different than these people. How they learning, teaching people, good or not good? But most people they are teaching people bad thing, bad action, bad doing. Only very few you can find who are teaching people good thing. Even they are teaching bad thing but they are showing people it is the best thing, they are top of knowledge. But it is cursed and it is doing very bad thing for human being, for people. For everything they are doing bad thing. It is not good what they are doing, what they are teaching because they are teaching by themself and their ego. And they are knowing when we are saying something it will be take long time to people to know it, if it is good or not good.
Some of them they write book about Communism. After they died, after 50 year Communism coming and it was curse for all human being and millions, hundred millions died. And destroying everything. After this, the people they said 'it was wrong'. How this? But these people who are thinking they are doing good thing but they are also knowing they are just for to make their ego satisfied they are doing this. And the
crazy people trying to make it true. It is one example for what ego can do for the human being; how it is bad for the human being. It is just one from thousand, from million idea these people they are trying to do. Only to make their ego high and to make their name to be famous, they are doing this. But Alhamdulillah, most of them, nobody care about them now. But still they are doing and they are finding follower for every bad thing. Some people and they are thought they are valuable for human being, for country people, but people they are fed up from these people.
Now they coming by another type. They are now, they are trying, they are saying "we are the best, we are know about knowledge of Islam. We are know about everything. You are all people, wrong. You are all in wrong way". But it is like one man, old time he built one nice mosque, very nice mosque. And one man he come and he said "can I be muezzin for this mosque?" This man he was gentle and he is polite he said, "ok, you can do azan", and he was doing azan. His voice, it was the worst voice. It is like crow or more worse. And these people they was complaining "what is this?" And he couldn't say to him 'go away'. Just he thinking and he find, said, "there's another village they want muezzin. I give you 20 lira, you go there, they will be happy". And he went. After a while he come and said "You cheat me. These people they are giving 30 lira for me to leave this". This man he was laughing for him. He said, "No, you stay. They will give you more to go away".
It is like this, these people now, they are doing, they thought they are doing good but they are doing worse and all people they are fed up from them. Praying for Allah - O Allah, take this bala from Ummatu Muhammad." InshaAllah, Allah put them to oppressor people to fight with oppressor people, and to finish all of them, inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
126.HAJJA ANNE Sunday, July 19, 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 Haqqani dastur. Madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyah
Allah created everyone, He created everything. He created them as He likes. Nobody is created by their own wish, ordering "I want to be this, I want to be that. I want to be black, white, a man or a woman". People are created according to the will of Allah. And they are created in such way that nobody has a right to claim he's better than the other. However, who is better in Allah's sight? The one who obeys Allah, is good says Allah Azza wa Jalla. "Inna akramakum 'inda Allahi atqakum" (49:13)(the most honored in the sight of Allah is the God- fearing) Allah created you different tribes, nationalities and colors. But no one can say "We are better than them" or "We are superior to them". It is mindless to say so because a man is not created by his will. Allah Azza wa Jalla created him. The real point is to be satisfied with how you were created and then the secret of this matter is how you can be better than the rest of people. And that is by carrying out the orders of Allah, doing goodness to people, and avoiding bad actions. That is by fearing Allah. Should we fear Allah? We should. Fear those who don't fear Allah because who doesn't fear Allah can do anything.
"Inna akramakum 'inda Allahi atqakum" (49:13) Some knowledgeable people who make religion as fashion say we shouldn't fear Allah. No. If
you don't fear Allah, then you fear your ego. You follow your ego. Nothing else. Why are we saying this? A man or a woman, no one is superior to the other. Only by obeying Allah and by carrying out Allah's orders can one be superior.
A woman can be superior to a man. There are many Awliya women. The wife of pharaoh, our mother Asiya. Her husband was pharaoh but she was a believing woman. Her name is written in Qur'an. Our mother Maryam. The mother of our Prophet, mother Amina. Rabiya al- Adawiyah. There are thousands of holy women. They reached the highest stations. They served for Allah and didn't rebel against Allah by saying "Why did You created us as women?" They carried out Allah's orders and served Him. They were raised to the highest stations.
One of them was our late Hajja Anne. She served Sheikh Effendi. Hajja Anne served Sheikh Effendi for 50 years. And she left to heaven 10-11 years ago. Truly she had been paralyzed before her death. Her face had changed. When she died, she became like before and full of light. You couldn't say she was dead. It was so apparent. Her station was revealed. Sheikh Effendi is a witness too that among 40 saints, 7 are women. He said one of them was Hajja Anne, may Allah sanctify her secret. May Allah grant us her intercession.
Some people now say "alaihi rahma" for Sheikh Effendi. Common people can say so but our brothers, people of tariqa, should say "may Allah increase his station", "may his maqam be higher", or "may we attain his intercession". Because they are Awliya servants of Allah, Allah's beloved servants. We should say it differently than common people. Mercy is mercy for everyone. Praising Awliyas and saying so is better for you.
Our Hajja Anne, shukr to Allah, didn't harm anyone. She gave benefit to all of our brothers, those who saw and those who didn't see her. Because she was a person who supported and served Sheikh Effendi since the beginning, didn't demand anything and wasn't a burden on him. Therefore, Sheikh Effendi turned to Allah with all his being. He had no worldly worries. He wasn't worried about his children, shukr to
Allah. Our Hajja Anne was both blessed and skillful, shukr to Allah. She served a lot and was patient. She was very pleased with her condition. And she never complained to anyone or said she was impatient, shukr to Allah. She was satisfied with her life. And she loved people and our brothers. Therefore she has a right of service over everyone. InshaAllah she will be an intercessor to them too. May Allah increase her station inshaAllah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla He create everything, every creature. And human being also, Allah Creator. He is the only God. No need for anybody to help Him. And He create different people. Some of them different tribe and colors, different colors, different language. He create man and woman. Everything He create and He is not asking you how you like to be created, so I can maybe I must be a little bit stronger, little bit taller, more handsome. No, Allah He create you black, white, yellow, red. He create. You cannot say. You cannot be proud "I am white". You cannot proud, "I am yellow", "I am white". No, you cannot say this because you didn't create yourself. Allah He create everybody and everybody he must be happy with this.
This is first thing, everybody equal. But there is another thing after this -the best for Allah, the most loved for Allah, is who obeying Allah. He doing what Allah ordered to do. And he afraid from Allah, to do any wrong thing. They said you must afraid from people who are not afraid from Allah, from God because they don't have anything to prevent them from to do any wrong thing. But there is philosophy people, they said you mustn't be afraid from Allah. We are afraid, we said we are weak, we are afraid from Allah. It is not shame, not wrong thing. Who are not afraid from Allah, he is afraid from people. He is afraid from low, afraid from ego, afraid from everything but not afraid from Allah. But who afraid from Allah, he not afraid from anything else. This is one, also second thing.
Third thing it is to be woman or to be man, it is not a problem also. Who are near for Allah, he is in high position. He is more higher than other. Every people equal but now it is coming to be higher and higher. Who is higher? Not you are white you must be high. No. If you are worshipping and obeying Allah, the highest one you are. If you are
black, if you are green, you are yellow, whatever you but when you are following order of Allah and obeying you are the highest one. And this is was for ladies also. Like wife of the Pharaoh who was fighting with Sayyidina Musa, her name was Asiya. She is mentioning in Quran, many place, and Maryam, daughter of Imran, and mother of Prophet (sas). Rabiya al-Adawiyyah, thousand of women they get the highest position in Divine Presence. And they was women. No problem for them because they have wisdom of what they... Allah create them like this. The cannot be seen themselves are lower than other people. No, they are very high.
And there was many like this and the last one Hajji Anne, she also. She was helping all of us. Even until now everybody can benefit from her service, from her helping because she was helping Mawlana, not asking anything, just doing everything for him and he was only looking for helping for Allah to help ummat, nation of Prophet (sas). She wasn't complain, she wasn't to do anything wrong with people, all, every time she helped people and she get the highest maqam, Alhamdulillah. And we say Allah make her to take shafa'a (intercession) for us for Jannah, to be with them inshaAllah.
When we say, mentioning Mawlana or mentioning awliyaullah like her or other, you must say 'qaddas Allahu sirrahu'. Because other, some people who they don't know, they say 'rahmatullah alayh', it's ok also 'rahmatullah' but for to make praising them, to make benefit for us we must say like this. Allah make their maqam higher and higher, and to make us to be with them in Jannah, inshaAllah, all together inshaAllah. Because they are in highest position and people who they are loving, we loving them, we loving awliya Allah, and all these beloved people for Allah, inshaAllah, we will be with them. Direct to Jannah, no need to be in hot sun like in Judgment Day. Quickly go. Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
127.COME BACK TO ALLAH Monday, July 20, 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. Madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim alHaqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
A man never feels regret for things done for Allah, done purely for the pleasure of Allah. When a man does this, he doesn't regret either in dunya and will find its reward in akhira.
Our ancestors brought Islam everywhere to raise the word of religion for the pleasure of Allah. They brought Islam to the island of Cyprus too. Muslims since the time of Hz. Abu Bakr, sahabas came to Cyprus. There are many martyred sahabas on this island. Among the known ones there are Hz. Hala Sultan, Hz. Omer. These holy ones are sahabas too, those who are in Girne. In general, there are so many martyred sahabas, more than 1,000 in Cyprus.
Since those times, this island has been under Muslim rule from time to time. And finally, it was completely ruled during the Ottomans as a part of the Islamic Caliphate government. They never felt regret. So many things were done. Then this and that happened. By the wisdom of Allah, at the end Turks conquered it in 1974 as it is today. But this time it was done not for raising the word of religion, but for other purposes. They are in such condition now that everything is mixed up. If it was done for Allah there would be no problem. It wasn't done for Allah.
Then, I have to say it now here, before help came from Turkey and people started immigrating here, all the mosques were full on Fridays and Ramadans with local people. Now they're not full even with those who came. Who came here got spoilt too because there was no sincerity. That's why, there're always problems. And what shall we do? Isn't there a solution for this? There is, with Allah's permission. Turn to Allah. Allah will help you. Like He helped our ancestors, He will help you. It is as easy as that.
Now I see that people are going astray more and more. Therefore, there can't be help, only regret like - "If only we did, if only we didn't..." Shukr to Allah, Allah gave us such a beautiful place. We should thank Allah and come back to Him. We should do what Allah tells us so that He helps us inshaAllah. May this beautiful land be cheered with adhans, Qur'an and Islam. Light will come with this. Otherwise, it won't. Only darkness will come.
Allah gives everyone his right today too, He doesn't oppress any Muslims, no one. Even if non-Muslims live in the same place, their rights will be given too. This is Allah's order. Therefore, everything will be solved. As long as the order of Allah is followed, everything works out. But when you follow shaitan, thousands of problems occur and there is no peace, only badness and all types of discomfort. Allah is calling you to peace. Shaitan is calling you to poverty and evil. You decide whichever you want and see.
Allah Azza wa Jalla He make our will to follow what? It must be follow His Will. But many times people they are doing something by their will and the day after they become regretful.
This island it was since after Prophet (sas), Sayyidina Abu Bakr time, they were coming for conquer, to make it, to put light of Islam in this island also. Since that time Muslims they was coming to this island, to Cyprus. And it was many of Sahaba coming here, they was many of them become shaheed here, they when they fighting, or they are from something because many of them coming here. We know Hala Sultan in Larnaca, in Cyrenia also there is Hazrat Umar, there is maybe 7, 8 Sahaba but they don't know their names but they have place for them.
But normally, some people they said maybe more than 1000 Sahaba, they was in Cyprus, they was become shaheed (martyred) here. For it was near and coming, going and fighting. So it was many of them but because small group no place, you cannot know where they are. And it was like this many times after Muslims take over, or taking out, and the in end Ottoman Caliphate of Islam he was opening and putting justice in this island and everybody was happy. But after also they was only for Allah, they doing this. They are not for benefit. So when they do something like this for Allah you do this, you will not be sorry for what you done. You do this for Allah and Allah He reward you, here and hereafter also.
But after these people, when they are coming... And there was no problem. In, before 40 years again coming here to help Turkish people. So they was coming for intention to help, not for Allah. Only for helping or something. And the problem coming very bad for these people. And they are regretful - "why we do this? How we will finish this problem?" Every time they are have headache from here. Because they are not doing this for Allah. And before this happened there was maybe half or less than half population, the real Cypriot people, not come from Turkey and mosque Juma time was full. Ramadan was full from local people. After when they finish, they coming and everything is good for them. They are, even with people who coming from Turkey, it is not full. And who coming from Turkey he become worse than our people also. All becoming out of order of Allah. And Allah He not helping them.
Big favour He give them, He give them this big land, big everything they got here. But when they're against Allah, Allah not give them baraka, not give them help. They are becoming like in a prison. And what we will do now? There is solution for this. Come back to Allah, Allah He will help you. This is very easy solution but of course for ego it is very difficult for ego to come back to Allah. Allah saying: Allah calling people to peace (10:25). To be in peace. And ego and shaitan calling people to be poor, to be problem, to be miserable. This is writing in Quran, and this is what happened now. And we are asking Allah to give hidayat (guidance) for these people to not go, put
all what they done, for nothing. Everywhere like this. When you do something for Allah you never be regretful. But when you do for yourself every time you are saying 'why I do this, why I done that?' All time asking yourself and you, you are not happy. Allah give hidayat for all of us inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
128.THE LIGHT OF MY EYES Tuesday, July 21, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur. Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
There were 3 things, that our Prophet (sas) loved in this world. What he loved most was praying. "Prayer is the light of my eyes" said Our Prophet (sas). Obligatory prayers of course, after obligatory prayers the best, most valuable voluntary prayer is Night praying says our Prophet (sas). After Isha even if you pray 2 rakaats that is considered as night praying prayer. Its reward, after obligatory prayers, is the highest reward of prayers.
But more valuable is at the end of the night, closer to Fajr prayer, the tahajjud (night) prayers. You can pray as much as you want. Either 2 rakaats or 8 rakaats or 12 rakaats. Our Prophet (sas) says it is barakah. Our Prophet (sas) not only prayed 2 rakaat, 8 rakaat, he used to pray non-stop. Even his feet got swollen, when he prayed at night. He prayed so much that Allah sent verses about him that Allah forgives so much. The verses say: "Pray as much as you can. Pray half the night, pray one third of it, even less you can pray".
But Our Prophet (sas) says, especially for those Hafidh Quran who teach Quran, "these night prayers are obligatory." Of course there are other obligatory prayers but Our Prophet (sas) shows its importance and says that there is great benefit for those, claiming to be scholars, teachers. They are inspired so that they give benefit to people and their knowledge increases. Our Prophet (sas) used to pray tahajjud standing up and when he was tired or when he was sick, he was sitting down,
because it is a voluntary prayer it is not like obligatory prayers, you can pray when you are seated. A couple of days ago there was a doctor here, he said: "To be awake at that time of the night is essential for the whole body's health. If you are awake at that time, all your organs work." Allah made our brother speak well. It is also mentioned in the Hadith that it is a cure. Getting up at night and praying is healing. For sure, what is given to his heart comes out from the light, knowledge of our Prophet (sas). He is a sincere person. People would not need medicine then. He says "Now when people come to the hospital, they are already finished, nothing left in their bodies. As if they are saying "Come on revive us". But to protect their bodies, before they get sick, they should worship, they should train their bodies, so that the body gets stronger both the body and the soul. When soul gets stronger, body also gets stronger. Gets healthy. This is the most important thing.
Our Prophet (sas) said "Ask for good health and forgiveness" (Afuw wa ‘afiya) so that Allah may forgive us. These are crucial. Sleep makes you lazy. It is not good to sleep more than 8 hours. It is ok to wake up at night, pray night prayer and fajr then you can rest. But if you sleep continuously body cannot get power and doesn't become healthy. Like we said health is a great blessing. There are times when Allah gives that. There are times when He gives more, and when He gives less. So we should be careful about that.
Our Prophet (sas) showed us everything, Islam showed us everything. The best knowledge, the best things to teach and to learn is in Islam. When you follow our Prophet (sas) you can learn all that perfection. May Allah grant all of us to wake up at night. It is difficult to wake up at night, very heavy for the ego. InshaAllah it is easy for all of us. Prophet (sas) he said the most thing he love in life, he said, 3 thing: one of them, the most he love - praying. "It is my eyes' light" he said, it is very important, very lovely for him also. He was praying day and night. He said the praying nighttime it is the best after obligatory praying 5 times. The most important after this, the most valuable, night praying.
Night praying he said, after Isha until Fajr, it is night. And you must
maybe, if you cannot wake up for night, before sleeping you must make wudu, ablution, and make 2 rakat for night praying. But the best time it is the end of night, last one-third of night - Tahajjud. That time you can wake up and pray 2 rakat, 4 rakat, 8 rakat. Can pray another like tasbih, like najat, shukr - all of them you can pray that time. Allah reward you the highest reward for these.
Prophet (sas) he was saying, "Who praying that time, he is getting the blessing and getting health also". Health - before there was one doctor from our brothers. He's valuable professor, was speaking with him, he said, "the most important time for body, human body, it is time between 4 o'clock after midnight. All your body working, Kidney, liver, lungs, all of them wanting to work but when you are sleeping they cannot do anything, just all sleeping. But if you wake up and doing something it will get benefit for your health." And SubhanAllah, hadith of Prophet (sas) exactly he said, he said this. To pray nighttime, it is baraka and health. And many people, this doctor he said, when they coming to hospital they are finished, they was finishing their all body what can repair by itself. And they coming to just little bit to help them to continue living.
But they can be much better, no need for medicine, no need to be like going like ill people, they everywhere, pain, everywhere miserable. You can be very healthy if you follow order of Allah and way what Prophet (sas) he show us. Because they are showing the best thing in this life and for other life, of course. When you follow them you get benefit and you get blessed. And of course not easy because you have ego, you have shaitan - they make you to sleep, 'Oh, don't. Close this alarm after 2 minutes you can wake up'. You wake up when 9 o'clock. It is like this, cheating people. You can feel this by your hand. You touch it by hand, how they cheating you. So don't be cheated, be careful. And when you wake for praying you can pray before fajr also, pray fajr, after you can sleep, it's ok. But to be in that time - it is very important.
For awliya also. All, they was saying to be careful for this to be awake in that time, not to be sleep. And night praying, if you are tired you can pray when you are sitting. Prophet (sas) was doing this also. He is sitting and praying, when you are ill you sit, pray there, because it's
Nafila not obligatory, you can by sitting. Allah give us strong, to be more stronger than our egos, to wake up for night, to get blessed by spiritual and to be strong, body also. Because Prophet (sas), he was... Some asking Prophet, "What we ask for from when we are making dua?" He said, "Ask health and ask forgiveness" (afuw wa ‘afiya). This is 2 very important and we must, we try to help ourself without going to doctor or going to take medicine.
Once they sent one of king's doctor for Prophet (sas), for look for these people. Doctor he was coming and sitting 2 months, 3 months, nobody coming to him. He said 'what is it, nobody ill?' They said 'we are following Prophet(sas) no need for doctor' so he went back. It is like this one - if you are following order of Allah, doctor will be jobless.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
129.WORSHIP LIKE BREATHING Thursday, July 23, 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 Mashaykhina dastur, Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Haqqani madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah created us and taught us everything. He also orders us to be on the right path. He orders us to do good. He orders us to obey Him. Believers should always act according to Islam, according to Allah's order, so that you may find peace.
Now children start praying at 7 years old, 10 years old - they pray once, twice, "when is this finishing?" they say. It does not finish. With Allah's permission, inshaAllah it does not finish until we die. It continues. You should accept it like this. Do not bargain - I do it now, I will do it later, I will do all of them later - do not make such a habit. Just like Allah taught us to breathe, to eat, to sleep, to travel - it has to be like this for a believer.
A believer in Allah should not even think about bargaining. Do not even give your ego a small compromise. It is like this. Allah's order is to pray. Allah's order is zaka. Allah's order is Hajj. Allah's order is fasting. You should do them all. Do not find excuses. Do not get used to excuses. Can you live without drinking water? I will not drink water today, I drank a lot of water all my life. If you use this as an excuse your body will become unwell this time, you will have to drink out of necessity. Praying should be like this. Just as water gives life, praying will give you life. Without it, you are like a carcass, nothing else. You are a piece of meat. You are useless. If you are an animal at least your meat has a value. Human meat has no value. It can only have value with spirit and prayer.
Do not look for anything else. For this reason worshiping, doing good, keeping Allah's order, you cannot bargain. We are created with this, we will live with this, we cannot live without it. We will continue like this inshaAllah until the end of our lives. Do not bargain. You cannot bargain with Allah. Because Allah, Allah forbid, it is His order, nothing else. No bargain. You keep Allah's order. Allah raises you, Allah makes you higher. May Allah give you goodness.
Allah created us and He gives us what naturally we doing. We are sleeping, we are eating, we are drinking, we are laughing, we are crying. This is, Allah give us this thing to do. But He is order also, He give us order. When beginning child from 7 year, or 10 year to pray sometime asking pray 1,2,3, when it will be finished, this? This is inshaAllah not finished until we are leaving this world. This is habit and this is what natural also. It must be with us until we are leaving, until dying. We must do this like natural, like eating, like drinking. You cannot bargain with - 'today I will not eat, this month I will not eat, this month I will not drink.' You cannot bargain like this. If you do this you will be weak, you will feel thirsty, quickly you go and eat and drink. For worshipping also it must be like this. To be like this for you, to not make it bargaining. 'Today I am very tired, I cannot pray'. 'This month it is very hot, I cannot fast'.
No, it is just for you, just you must accept. No bargaining. Just say 'ok, today we finish praying, today we fasting'. No complaining, nothing. It is one of our nature - it must be for believer. Not to be lazy, not to be complaining at all. For every order of Allah, praying, fasting, going to Hajj, you make zaka, everything He order it must be like cutting? No, you cannot bargaining. Only accept and be happy with this. Because He give us this to make us high.
Without doing this, what His order, you are like carcass. Carcass. Your meat, carcass. A human being, even their meat you cannot eat. You can't do anything, just... some people they are burning, some burying. It is like this, no benefit from this body. After when, but if you doing Allah order Allah make you high to be ikram, blessed. Honoured and blessed. But who not doing this - animal meat you can use but human meat you cannot. Only with order of Allah and to be this habit in you it
is making you in high station, valuable.
Because Allah create us for worshipping Him and to make best, and to accept what His order. So if you accept His order and you be satisfied with this no matter for you how it is hot or cold or tired. Everything it is just like you are breathing, just you are eating. It is one of your habits -it must be. Allah make this easy for us and acceptable. And when you accept this you be like nothing affect you. You are be pure. Cannot any dirty come on you to affect you. Allah make us like this inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
130.GOOD PEOPLE FIND EACH OTHER Friday, July 24, 2015.
Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur, Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
"Wa t-tayyibatu li t-tayyibina wa t-tayyibuna li t-tayyibati" (24:26) We read this ayat: Good ones, good people are with good people says Allah Azza wa Jalla in Qur'an al-Karim. Allah puts good people with good ones and separates the bad ones. This is so in general. Sometimes it happens otherwise. That's not important because mostly, people who are not good see good ones differently. And because they see them differently, they don't like them. A man gets along well with those who are like himself. He doesn't value and doesn't like someone who's not like him and speaks the opposite of what he knows. He even becomes an enemy. A man is an enemy to what he doesn't know. This is the nature of mankind. Allah Azza wa Jalla created him so. Therefore, sometimes these people... You should invite everyone to Haqq, invite to faith. But mostly people... Allah Azza wa Jalla says to our Prophet too, even though you try, most people are faithless. Their faith is weak. Therefore, people who are with good ones have attained a big favour, a favour from Allah. Allah wanted them so. They will be with good ones in dunya and more important than dunya, in akhira. Who are with good ones will reach eternal happiness. Qiyama will be very easy for them. Others who are not good, some of them will wait for hundreds years, some will wait for thousands years in Mahshar. Some will wait for 100,000 years. But good ones will gather under the Throne of Allah, under the flag of our Prophet. There is no other shade than that. Now we have sun here. You put something on your heads when you go out or sit under a tree where there is shade. This heat is nothing next to the heat of Qiyama. The heat of Qiyama is described with the voice of our Prophet by Allah Azza wa Jalla. People's brains will boil in that heat. There won't be any shade except where our Prophet is. Those who did good and good ones will be in that shade. No chance for others. As we said, this heat is nothing compare to the heat of that time. Therefore, it is good to be with good people. It is nice
to be with good ones. It will be good both in dunya and in akhira. If you are with bad people in dunya, you will have troubles also. But when you are with the good ones, no one can say anything to those who are on the right way. Therefore, when you look for a friend, when you plan to get married, when you look for a spouse or friend, or a comrade, they should be good ones. Stay away from bad ones. They are nothing but trouble. They are trouble both in dunya and in akhira. Stay away from them. May Allah gather us with good ones. May Allah put us with good ones in dunya and in akhira. Don't say "This man has so much money. This woman is so beautiful". These are just traps. Just like an insect is caught, you will be destroyed too. You will get stuck in some bad place and won't find an escape. Beware. Allah Azza wa Jalla He said in the ayah we read: the good people or good ladies with good men. And Allah give good men for good ladies also. This is for marriage, surah, ayat. And Allah said when they find together Allah open for them the, His Mercy Doors and He generous, give them gift. Give them wideness in life also. This is for everything, not only for marriage. Good people, all time they are together, coming together. They find each other. Other people because the people, if you are not like them they are not happy with you. You must be like them. If you are good they are have standard, how must be this man good for them. He must, first thing he must drink alcohol and he must not be mutadayyan - religious, not be religious. He must be only for dunya. Many things for them. They are not interesting at all with what Allah ordered and when somebody tell them this they are not happy with it, with him. For this many people Allah Azza wa Jalla saying, the most people, saying to Prophet (sas), if you are even you are try to make them to be come to right way the most of people they are not believer. This is common thing. So for this the good people they must be find each other, not to be with bad people. When you see people who you must be friend with them you must be careful. When you will marry also you must be careful also to find good one, not to find one who are fighting everyday with you, "You must do this good thing you must do what I want". No, you must be away from these people. Because these people they are not good for you here and hereafter. Because here, in this hot you cannot stand under sun here, you find some shadow. But in Judgment Day no shadow, only shadow of Prophet (sas) and the shadow of Throne of Allah. Only believer they can be there. And these
days if you are in dunya with good people, Akhirah you will be safe, you be in shade and you quickly going to Paradise. But these people here they cannot stay 5 minute under sun, they will stand there maybe 100 years, maybe 1000 years, maybe 5000 years. Even 100,000 years there is people they will stay there, under the sun, nothing. And this sun boiling your brain also. Very hot and no... only like this. These people who are not believer they are not thinking. Only they are thinking for 1 minute, for 1 hour, but not thinking for thousands of years they will be suffering from what they was doing. So we must be careful for who we will marry, who will be your friend, and you don't be with bad people. Only with order of Allah, to be with good people. To find good people, inshaAllah.

131.HALA SULTAN
Saturday, July 25, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashaykhina dastur, Shaykh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa lkhayru fi jam'iyyah.
InshaAllah now we are going to make a visit, a holy visit to Hazrat Hala Sultan. Mawlana used to say that this visit is the most important visit in the Islamic world; first comes Hala Sultan then comes the visiting of Ayyub Sultan Hazrat. It is very important and holy. Hala Sultan is the sister of our Prophet's (sas) wet nurse that's why they called her "aunt". Ummuharam binti Milhan Hazrat. With the miracle of our Prophet (sas) I mean she witnessed the miracle. It is both blessing to the nation of Muhammad and also that miracle was told.
When our Prophet (sas) was in Medina he used to visit her all the time, because she was his aunt. He used to rest and sleep there. One day he (sas) went to visit her. His aunt was combing his holy hair, our Prophet's (sas) holy hair. He was overcome by drowsiness, our Prophet (sas) lay down and fell asleep. He woke up smiling. The holy lady asked him (sas) "What did you dream my Master, you woke up smiling?" He said; "I saw companions from my nation they were sitting upon thrones and travelling the seas to the Green Island - it means in order to conquer Cyprus they are going like that. They go in thrones, they go by ships. How blessed, I was happy for that. That's why I'm laughing, smiling." said our Prophet (sas). He was so pleased. Our Prophet (sas) says that fighters on the sea have more reward than the fighters on the land. They are rewarded two times more. The holy lady said "Pray so that I will be one of them". Our Prophet (sas) prayed; "You shall be one of them".
He slept a second time. Our Prophet (sas) woke up the same way. She asked again "Why is it so? What did you dream our Master?" Our Prophet (sas) said; "I saw the same dream, some of my nation were travelling in the sea on thrones. I was happy, I smiled" he said. "Pray for me so that I shall be one of them" said she. Our Prophet (sas) said
that it is not possible because when she came to Cyprus, after the war, Hala Sultan landed, went on shore. She was old she was riding on an animal. When that animal got scared she fell down and was martyred there. There was no need for a second time. That is a miracle of our Prophet (sas). He did not pray for her, because she would not be around for the second time She would be martyred in the first trip. She was buried in this holy place. She is a blessing for this island, Cyprus. This miracle happened so that this land stays as a Islamic region until the end of time. This is the miracle of our Prophet (sas). It is a blessing for this island. No matter how many unbelievers come and go, with Allah's permission, Islam continues here. It stays until the end of the world because it is full of both Sahabas and full of Awliya (saints) here. Thanks to Allah, our Shaykh and Hajja Anne are also here. They are all Islam's title deed/flag. It is a Muslim island until the end of the world InshaAllah. They give blessings. Ask their blessings, their blessings are enough for everyone. Muslim or non Muslim, whoever is on this island, because when blessing comes there is no distinction, it is sent on everyone. Some people know, whoever does not know it does not matter.
We are, today we are going inshaAllah to visit Hala Sultan. She is the holiest place, before, even more holier than Abu Ayub al-Ansari, from Istanbul, this Mawlana he was saying this. It's very important and it is baraka for this island, for everybody. Who are respecting her, everybody, Allah reward him. It was miracle from Prophet (sas) how she came here, because she is Auntie of Prophet (sas), from long distance and she is auntie also to be with milking mother sister.
And he was going to her house frequently in Medina. Once he was there, and she was combing his hair and he was lying down. She was combing hair mubarak hair, his holy hair. And he was sleeping little bit. And he was waking up, was smiling, laughing, little bit. She was asking what you see and you are happy and you are laughing like this? He said I saw from my companion they're riding throne in sea and they are going to conquer green island. I am happy with these people. Green island meaning Cyprus. And to be fighting in sea it is more double reward from fighting in land. Prophet (sas) was encouraging to these people because more danger to be navy or to be in sea, it is not easy. It is more danger.
And she was saying, asking Prophet (sas) "Oh, pray for me to be with them". He pray for her, "InshaAllah, you'll be with them, this is big honour for you for, to be with them". And he again, he slept and he was
again wake up. She ask again, he said, "I am seeing another people from my nation they are also going in sea by throne to open this island, to conquer". She ask again, "Oh", she maybe thought same one, make dua for me to be with them". He said "No", because in first one when they conquered here they was fighting around and they coming to land and she was in mule and she was old, making shaking. Taking her down, she was shaheed there. Martyred. And this was miracle, she was in this first one and she was martyred.
And she, wisdom to be baraka for this island until Qiyamah. And it is blessed place. Who respect her and go visit her, everybody can get benefit. Alhamdulillah, this island, many people coming, going, but it will be until Qiyamah flag of Islam. Because many Sahaba, many Awliya specially Mawlana Shaykh, Hajja Anna, all here. They are all like "tapu" flag for this island, for Islam. So, no matter who respecting, not respecting, it is not important for Allah. Allah He is putting them and He is make it like this until Qiyamah. No matter.
Normally for Eid, Mawlana Shaykh was saying Eid ul-Adha third day, they going to ziyarah there. This Eid is ok, when we going, we go but next in Dhi l-Hajjah, Eid ul-Adha, we will inshaAllah, third day, we be in ziyarah for that maqam also. It is custom of this island. So if anybody come here, so he must be not coming third day. Second, fourth day, but for third day we must be inshaAllah, ziyarah Hala Sultan. Allah give blessed of these Sahaba and Awliyaullah for us, inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
132.DESCRIPTION OF IGNORANCE Sunday, July 26, 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 Mashaykhina, dastur, madad ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla invited people to Allah, to Himself. People run away from Him. Or some people stay away without even knowing. Ignorance, that is ignorance. You studied, went to university. If you do not know Allah, that is ignorance. Ignorance means not knowing. Not knowing is ignorance. Not knowing the Creator, not respecting Allah is ignorance. Jahiliyyati l-ula (the first age of ignorance) our Prophet (sas) used to call the ignorant people in his time. He called them ignorant. They knew Allah Almighty but they had many other gods. They were polytheists or unbelievers. After that, the second age of ignorance is worse said our Prophet (sas) - the ignorance of our time now. Not knowing Allah at all, not believing in Allah - the real ignorance is now. The harm it does to people - ignorant people are harmed in this life, also will be more harm for them in the hereafter. Follow Allah's way, know Allah, ma'arifatu Allah. The path that leads to knowing Allah is a big blessing. Mawlana used to say "Everyday you must prostrate to your Lord." The ones, who do not prostrate, even though he says he is successful in this world, he has nothing, he gets no benefit. He neither can help himself, nor anyone else. His inheritors will spend his fortune and he won't get the slightest benefit. But the ones, who know Allah help themselves anyway. Their inheritors also get benefit. Many people come, visit us. They say their business is not good. Are you praying? Most people do not know because they are not taught. Nobody taught them. They did not learn. InshaAllah from now on, it is ok to cut your losses, better late than never. From now on say Bismillah and start. If you do not know any
verse, sura, do it with Bismillah until you learn. It is not difficult to learn. You can learn in a couple of days. But until you learn, do not waste your time, start praying immediately. Pray as much as you can. Learn, you will get used to it, and then you will start praying all. Learning to pray is a big blessing, it is benefit for people. I mean nobody else will benefit from your praying, Allah will not benefit from your praying. You will benefit from it. Allah is merciful. He likes people to be on the right path. He does not oppress anyone. People oppress themselves. So, if you want everything to go well, both here and hereafter, go on the way Allah.
Slowly, as much as you can. It is better than nothing. Instead of doing nothing even if you only say Allah, still it is benefit. Even if you do not pray, if you say Allah it is better than talking nonsense. Instead of talking nonsense if you say Allah there is benefit in it. Better than nothing. This is a good saying. Even an atom slowly multiplies increases inside the heart, your light increases, your belief, blessings increase. So do not say "I cannot do it", and leave it all - that is not good. Do as much as you can. Allah Azza wa Jalla is merciful, is forgiving. "I did my best" you can say. If Allah forgives, He forgives. If you say I did nothing, you yourself suffer your punishment. May Allah give all of us that love, that support, that willingness and energy to work hard. Lets stay away from laziness inshAllah. Laziness is sat
