Suhbah 2015: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (27/30)

ing them from representation and they can stay as dervishes if they want to stay. If they do not want to stay, they can do as they like. There are some names; it would not be appropriate to mention them here. We will write them and give them out.
Thank Allah we do not expect any benefits from anybody. Whoever it may be, there is a holy verse (ayat karima): “Whoever it may be, never mind.” It says, “Do not be with falsehood. Be with truth.” When we do this, Inshallah it will first benefit that person. It will be for a person who has been carried away by his ego and shaitan. He should not be saddened that he is removed from his post. He should be happy, because Shaitan has rode on him. He plays around as he likes using the tariqa and using the uniform. Most deputies’ unifroms are Mashallah: the beard is a hand span, the turban is as big as a tray, the jubba and the look is complete. Then complaints come: “How could you appoint this man? We trusted you.” We received so many of these complaints. We do not want to say this. It is not a good thing to be said, but it has to be said now. The truth will be told.
They say “La haya’a fiddin.” There is no shame in religion. This is of two types. It is said, “Al-Haya’ minal iman.” Being ashamed is from faith. However, we are not to be ashamed and not talk about the bad person. It will be a lesson for them and for others. From now on, if he stays properly it is up to him. Also, the one who is removed from being a deputy will remain as a dervish for the rest of his life. Let him not have hope that he might become a deputy again in the future. If he is after becoming a deputy, he can go somewhere else. He can be over there. He can be given representation or sheikhdom. But it is over with us now. The names will be given Inshallah so they can be a lesson for others.
May Allah not make ourselves a donkey for our ego (nafs). May our ego be the donkey. May Allah protect us all from the evil of our ego. The main work of this tariqa is to take the ego under control and ride on it. When you ride you rise; when it rides you become like an animal. Nothing else. May Allah correct us all.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
194.SPIRITUAL GIFTS Friday, November 13, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Alhamdulillah, Allah made it easy and we went to India. We visited the holy ones there. Inshallah they did not leave us empty handed and we have returned with their abundance (fayd). People there are religious Mashallah. They are religious but of course there are many divisions. People who came to us Inshallah will be people showing the right way. There are very good people there Mashallah. Those who are looking after the tombs, those of Hadrat Imam Rabbani and Hadrat Abdullah Dahlawi, are very good people too. They are continuing it, but it gets pretty mixed in other places. That is why tariqa is important. It is very important in terms of teaching manners (adab) and teaching humanity. It is a good thing to follow a tariqa to become happy both in the world and in the hereafter. They are the title deed of Islam there. You look in some places and there are no Muslims around, only they are left. And what is that a sign of? In the future, Inshallah those places will be full of Muslims, Allah willing. Our Shaykh Mawlana says, “I would like for this country to be all Muslim.” Allah willing, with their blessings (baraka) it will happen. Nothing is difficult for Allah Azza wa Jalla. They are everywhere. Just as for a soldier to stand guard against the enemy for one night is more virtuous than worshipping day and night for a hundred years, those holy ones are gaining that merit until the Day of Judgment. Thank Allah, wherever it may be, they do not leave those visiting them empty and send them away with gifts. Spiritual gifts, that is what is important. Materialistic is not important. It finishes really quickly but spirituality is important. They do not leave people empty handed. We came with gifts Inshallah. Inshallah, may Allah grant it to everybody. The month of Safar, Safar ul-Khayr, is about to come. May our month of Safar be good Inshallah. May the evil come to those who do not believe in Allah, who are rebellious against Allah. May the good come to us Inshallah. May its evil go to the enemies of
Islam. The enemies of Islam have gone overly wild. May Allah send all the evils of this month upon them. The duties of this month, as Shaykh Mawlana said: Three Kalima Shahadat (testimony of faith), 70 Astaghfirullah (repentance), and then do not forget to give Sadaqa (charity). When leaving the home, absolutely put the sadaqa in the box. Later you can distribute it to the poor and needy. There are lots who are in need. Inshallah this month passes well and we make it to the month of the Mawlid, Inshallah. We also do the Mawlids Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
195.ADVICE Sunday, November 15, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our tariqa is to train the ego (nafs). It is good to dress in accordance with Islam. May how we look be suitable with Islam. Some people dress according to Islam but their interior does not change. What is important is for both the interior and the exterior to change. When their outer look, their dress, is in accordance with Islam but their interior does not fit, they become from the class of hypocrites (munafiqs). You are dressing and trying to fool people before even cleaning your interior. Even if you are not a munafiq, you enter that class. We should also accept the truth. When something is said or when your friend warns you of something, we should thank them. But instead of thanking, people get angry and show a response saying, “I am not like this or like that.” This is common amongst the people of our era.
They do not accept what is said to their ego and certainly refuse it. Do not immediately refuse when they tell you something. Contemplate whether they are right or not, then you can give an answer. They answer back with incorrect things before even a person opens his/her mouth. It is actually a lie, but people who do these things see themselves as right. They vindicate their egos saying, “I am good.” Whereas the ego is something that is to be trained. When you submit to the shaykh, at first it is an obligation upon a person to accept advice. Because “Ad-din an-nasiha”. “Religion is advice”. As soon as you hear advice, you either fight with the man or show excuses. You try to prove yourself right and never accept advice. And that falls contrary to training your ego. Your ego does not get trained, and on the contrary it gets wilder and wilder.
That is why we should accept advice. This is the most important thing. Do not immediately object when something is said. This is something that needs to be done our whole lives. It does not work listening for two days and then turning back again as before. The ego is trained
slowly. Then a beautiful person and a beautiful Muslim emerges. Firstly they would be of benefit to themselves, and then they would be of benefit to the whole nation. Allah will be our helper Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
196.HAJJA MOTHER Monday, November 16, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
This world is not our eternal abode. It is a transient place. When entering the graveyard, “O Muslims, greetings (salam) be upon you. Your turn was before us, and we will come after you,” is said (Hadith Sharif, Tirmidhi, Janaiz, 58, 59). Nobody can stay in this world. They can be as rich as they like, and they can be as powerful as they like: the world is a temporary place. Leave behind good people and a good progeny in the world so they may remember you, so they may mention your name in the sight of Allah, and so they may recite mercy on you. Days pass quickly. What is important is for this separation not to be an eternal separation. Days pass suddenly. May Allah have mercy on her, it has been eleven years today since the passing of our Hajja Mother. May Allah increase her station. Thank Allah, Inshallah we will be together again. These are not eternal separations. If it is eternal, then wail, squeal, and cry. Shaykh Mawlana used to say, we read in Yasin Sharif a little ago: “Wamtazul yawma ayyuhal mujrimoon.” (Sura Yasin:59) “Wamtazu” means separate. The mother separates from her child. Because either the mother is an infidel (kafir) or the child is an infidel. Then it is eternal separation of course. Wailing and squealing will boil the Day of Judgment. But as we said before, people go in turn and so do not stay. Inshallah their stations are high. They served this tariqa a lot. Nobody has done as much service to Shaykh Mawlana, our father, as she has. Her station is very high. She was amongst the Fourty anyway. It is not easy to be from the Fourty, as it is a very high degree. May mercy come on us as we mention her Inshallah. May her blessings (baraka) be upon us. Inshallah may we always be together until eternity in the hereafter, in paradise. Let us read three Ikhlas and one Fatiha. Firstly, for the soul of our Holy Prophet (SAW), all prophets, their families and companions, for our shaykhs, our shaykh Hadrat Shaykh Nazim and our Hajja Mother, and for all of our passed ones, let us read three Ikhlas and one Fatiha.
197.THE FAVOR OF ALLAH Tuesday, November, 17 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. “Wa’lamu anna feekum Rasulallah, law yuti’ukum fi kathirin minal amri la’anittum, walakinnAllaha habbaba ilaykumal imana wa zayyanahu fi qulubikum, wa karraha ilaykumal kufra wal fusuqa wal isyan, ula’ika humur rashidun.” (Sura Hujurat:7) This is a verse (ayat) where Allah is addressing Muslims such that He says: “The Prophet is with you,” “Wa’lamu anna fikum Rusulallah.” Some people say about our Holy Prophet, save him, “He is dead now, nothing is left!” There is no such thing. When you recite salat and salam on our Holy Prophet (SAW), he himself is readily available and receives that salat and salam. There is no doubt about this. If you were given everything you wanted right away, you would go wild. Religion is not according to how people like. Islam and life are not according to how people want. We need to follow the way shown by Allah so that we may reach Allah and reach the Holy Prophet. Allah also says, “Allah made your hearts love faith (iman).”
That is an important thing too, because not everybody has love of faith. Most of the world is faithless. They do not believe in Islam, in Allah, or in the Holy Prophet. Allah needs to make us love so we can love. Thank Allah, Allah (JJ) gives glad tidings of it to Muslims in the mentioned verse and says, “Allah made you love faith and He made it adorn your hearts.” What happens when faith is in the heart? Beauty occurs. Allah Azza wa Jalla says in the same verse, “Allah made you dislike and hate unbelief (kufr), doing evil, and rebellion against Allah.” These are great favors. We see how other nations are: they immediately rebel, curse, disobey Allah, and do all sorts of vileness. And they present it to people as humanity. This is the difference between Muslims and non- Muslims. Muslims love faith and it is in their hearts. Muslims do not oppose Allah. The others are the exact opposite. They do not like faith, they like unbelief, they like rebellion, they like doing harm, and they like following their ego.
May Allah be our helper so that we are not with them. May faith ever be in our hearts Inshallah. May faith be all around us so that there is light Inshallah. Mey we hate evils, unbelief, and rebellion, and may we never relish them. May Allah be our helper.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
198.WE ARE GETTING BY Wednesday, November 18, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some idioms in this world. They say, “We rub along.” We rub along. How? We get up in the morning. People are of two kinds. They either get up mentioning (making zikr of) Allah or they get up in a state of heedlesness (ghaflat). People making zikr get up in the morning, pray, and have breakfast. They perform the Noon (Dhuhr), Afternoon (Asr), Evening (Maghrib), and Night (Isha) prayers. They go to bed reciting verses (ayats). This way one day is over. The second person, however, has no idea of these. They do not know how the day passed, and continue in the same way. As we head to the second day and the third day, we cycle like this our whole lives. We make it to morning again everyday, and again cycle the same way. This is a good cycle. The others, people who do not remember Allah, are in a vicious cycle. The vicious cycle is an unbeneficial cycle. There is nothing. They go about living like grass, like animals, and nothing else. Animals also have a cycle but animals know Allah. Those who do not recognize Allah are harmful for people and harmful for humanity. The whole universe is like this. Allah Azza wa Jalla also says in the Koran: “Wash-shamsu tajri limustaqarrin laha, thalika taqdiru al-Aziz al- Alim.” (Sura Yasin:38) [And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term. That is the Decree of the AllMighty, the All-Knowing]. We are getting by. Where are we going? We are going to Allah. Some say, “It is not clear where he is going,” but it is clear. The whole universe is going to Allah Azza wa Jalla, and there is nowhere else to go. For this reason, turn to Allah and remember Allah. Let our life not consist of a vicious cycle, and may it be useful Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
199.THE MANIFESTATION OF PATIENCE Thursday, November 19, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
The Asmaul Husna are the names of Allah Azza wa Jalla. 99 names, each has a manifestation. They have manifested themselves differently at all times. Now, the manifestation of the name as-Sabur is occurring. Because people have gone so wild and gone so astray that we are living the manifestation of the holy name of patience. He waits in patience. Afterwards, when this period is over, these people will be questioned. Mahdi Alayhis Salam will come and show everyone their place, will give everyone their due, and truth will appear.
“Wa qul ja’al haqqu wa zahaqal baatil.” (Sura Isra:81) Truth will appear and falsehood will end. Only falsehood is around these days, and everybody is going after falsehood. Even though there might be a couple of people in the whole world who are against falsehod, they do not have much benefit. The manifestation of this time is the manifestation of patience. This has been going on for 100-150 years. The time is probably near. Inshallah everyone will see this era. At that time, the protection Allah provides will be for some people and not for most. Because most have gone wild. Even though Allah is capable of everyhting, He is being patient. And He knows the wisdom behind this. Now, because this age is the last age, becasue it is before Judgment Day, the exalted name of patience is manifested. Inshallah Mahdi Alayhis Salam appears soon and shows these people their boundaires. Becasue they have gone against Allah and have rebelled against Allah. Allah has names and attributes. Now, the attribute of these times is patience. What is meant by patience is very patient, as there is exaggeration like this. May Allah protect us all from the evils of our ego and the evils of these people Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
200.SELFISHNESS Friday, November 20, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Islam orders the good for people. It says all Muslims are brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters mean there is no selfishness in Islam. Selfishness is a bad habit and a habit that Islam does not want. That is why, whatever you want for yourself, you need to want for your Muslim brother or sister. You will love them as you love yourself. Selfishness is the complete opposite. People want everything for themselves and not for others. Sometimes people have envy. They get upset at others having something. Whereas what would happen if the whole world were yours? How much could you eat? Say you could eat as much as five men. What is after that is selfishness and greed. Whoever is greedy is insatiable. Everybody has selfishness. Islam trains that selfishness, removes that selfishness, and provides a good habit instead. Selfishness is a bad habit. Neither Muslims nor nonMuslims like selfishness. But it is normal in non-Muslims. In fact, they encourage to do it more and they do it more. They say they would never give up on their rights and what they own. Whereas it is possible. Sharing is what is right. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Share everything.” Allah (JJ) continuously orders charity (sadaqa), obligatory alms (zakat), and doing good. These are the reverse of selfishness. Selfish people neither give charity nor do good. Selfish people want to keep it all for themselves. That is also another form of stupidity. Give so Allah might give you its reward in the hereafter. If you do not give you will say, “I wish I had given everything and had not left anything for myself.” Good manners are the manners of Islam. Islam shows bad things as bad so you do not go after them and so you do not go after Shaitan. May Allah protects uf rom the evils of our ego, and may He save us all from this bad habit Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
201.DO NOT RUN AWAY Saturday, November 21, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. “Kam min fi’atin qalilatin ghalabat fi’atan kathiratan bi’iznillah, wallahu ma’assabirin.” (Sura Baqara:249) When Allah Azza wa Jalla wants, He can grant victory to even a small group of people over a large group of people. There is no fear when we are with Allah. It is a sin to withdraw in war. Meaning to withdraw and flee when fighting with the enemy is one of the great sins. It is along the same line as murdering a man or drinking alcohol. To fear the enemy and withdraw is one of the great sins. Be with Allah and remember Allah so that you do not flee in the face of hardship. Whatever hardship it may be, you confront it and Allah helps. Help comes from where you would never expect and the thing you need reaches you. Now we see everywhere, the whole world is against Islam, attacking. Even if we are a little bunch, when Allah Azza wa Jalla helps, they cannot do anything Allah willing. If the whole world’s weapons were to come, those who are with Allah would be victorious again Inshallah. May Allah help these oppressed people.1 May Allah grant them victory. We toured around there a lot with Shaykh Mawlana. Inshallah he becomes a means for them to be victorious.
Al-Fatiha.
202.THE SLAVE OF SHAITAN Saturday, November 21, 2015.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habe Rasulallah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. Madad. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya. Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.
Holy ones are everywhere. They are all over the world. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “With them your sustenance arrives, with them it rains, and with them you gain victory.” Awliyaullah (friends of Allah), sahabas (companions), and prophets. Of course, first there were prophets, then came righteous (salih) people. There are sahabas after our Holy Prophet. They are the people in the highest station of the nation (ummah). Then come those who have followed them and those who have followed those who have followed them. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “The best time is my time.” “Then it is those after me,” he says. Subsequently, he counts another 100-150 years and says corruption will emerge in the world following that. As people multiply, less good people remain. People were few during the time of our Holy Prophet (SAW) and there were 124,000 sahabas. That was a large body. 124,000 is not a small thing for that time. Later, as people multiplied the number stayed the same, it stayed 124,000. It is the same now, but 124,000 holy ones in 6-7 billion is a small number (there are 124,000 awliya on the face of earth in every period after the sahabas). People who do evil are increasing, but if it were not for the 124,000, this world would not stay for a minute. They always exist and are present in every period. When one goes, Allah (JJ) immediately appoints someone else instead. They also have to be alive. Past holy ones have power too, but those our Holy Prophet (SAW) mentioned are those who are alive, meaning people serving in the world. Their services are needed. This world is not a planet that turns for no reason. Allah (JJ) is capable of everything. Nothing is difficult for Allah. Allah does what He wants and does not ask anybody. This teaching, this training, Islamic training, is the training of tariqa. Adab (manners) is a very important thing. It is appropriate if we say adab is the foundation of religion. No religion, iman, nor anything else remains without adab. And this is the difference between us, people who are Muslim, and people who are not Muslim.
What does adab mean? Obeying orders. It is respecting the shaykh in front of us, respecting our Holy Prophet (SAW), and respecting Allah. People who do not do this firstly do not respect the person across, then they do not respect the guide (murshid), they do not respect Hadrat Prophet, and they do not respect Allah. What does this mean? This clearly means the name we always hear, this is democracy. Ill-manner is democracy. Not to talk politics during the sermon. This needs to be said because they include it in everything. Its name says it all anyway. Demo means crazy. Furthermore, with what is next to it, it means something like crazy talk. It is something like this if you look at its real meaning. You have to interfere in everything, you have to stick your nose in everything, and you should also have an opinion. This is something that does not benefit anything. Some wise guy comes out and says there is democracy in Islam. There is no democracy in Islam. Clever people are those who extract decrees from the hadiths of our Holy Prophet (SAW), from verses (ayats) and suras (chapters) sent by Allah in His book, the Azimushan (Glorious) Koran. They do all their works according to it, not like democracy. If something is to happen, the most intelligent people are gathered and they make a decision accordingly. After our Holy Prophet (SAW), there was a mashwara, a board of councils. Those holy ones are 5-10. They decide who is to become the khalifa. If something is to be done, they get advice from them and consult them so the right decision is taken. Everybody has a job, but these are bad times. We have reached such times that they talk about democracy, elections, and what not, but this is a game of Shaitan. Only Allah Azza wa Jalla shoots Shaitan with his own weapon too when He wants. When you want democracy, “There you go: democracy!” is said and Allah’s orders come out in the open. How did we come to this subject? We came to democracy and bloody what not from adab. The West is who taught us democracy. Shaykh Mawlana, may Allah raise his station, would continuously say, “The West, the bloody/setting West!” Let us not fall behind either: “The West, the bloody/setting West!” It has set anyway. It has set. What was it, how come Allah Azza wa Jalla allows so many wars to occur so that so much blood is spilled, and why is this happening? If it were Shaykh Mawlana, he would spit here. Now look here, will He ask you O mentally unbalanced, ill-mannered, and immoral one?! Will He make elections? Will He appoint a prime minister speaker or speaker of what not? Allah (JJ) does what He wants.
Shaykh Mawlana had a qasida (eulogy): “Kulluna abeed, wallahul Muhaymin (the Controller) yaf’alu ma ureed.” He would say this. All of us are servants. We are all servants in the sight of Allah. Allah does
what He wants. You read two books, something of an Indian kafir guru, empty man, maybe you memorized three or five sayings of philosophers, and you go ahead and think you are smart? Will you question Allah Azza wa Jalla? There, this is what I am saying, this is the difference between Muslims and nonMuslims. There is no respect for anything with them. For one, there is no adab. That is why they are naked. No matter how they dress, those guys have no adab. When there is no adab, there is no iman. These sayings are a hundred percent contrary to Allah Azza wa Jalla and to adab. They have no adab towards anybody and think of none but themselves. Only those who are Muslim are worthy of humanity. Otherwise, unmanerred people are not considered human. Becasue those without manners are only four-legged. The guys walk around naked and do whatever they want. However, four-legged ones are better yet. They fear Allah, they say their tasbih of Allah, and know their creator. They don’t have this either. They are directly Shaitan’s soldiers and Shaitan’s slaves. Not servants, they are directly slaves of Shaitan. There is nothing to emulate about them. O people, O Muslims! This desire to imitate is in all of us. See their reality and be thankful for your condition. They are purely paint. They are truely paint. We went to America twenty years ago. Everybody watches their movies on television, here and there, and in the Shaitan cabinet. If you could only see, nothing is true there, and it is all lies. Whatever there is, it is nothing but vileness. Nothing they show is true. They have fooled the world like this. Let humankind not be fooled. If humankind is to be human, let them come to the way of Allah, let them come to being Muslim. They would live with honor in the world and win their hereafter. There is nothing else to emulate. This worls is a temporary world anyway, and it comes and goes suddenly. Turn back to Allah and follow the way of Allah. Be on the right path, be on the path of adab. Most important of all, as we said, respect the holy ones, the prophets, the sahaba, and the awliya. Their stations are light (nur), their places are light. We were with the holy ones ten days ago. Even though each one is in the lands of unbelief (kufr), their places are like gardens of paradise. Even kafirs (unbelievers) come and visit them there. So there is so much abundance (fayd) that they cannot hold themselves. Whereas they are enemies of Muslims. But they have respected those persons and protected them. Even though there is not a single Muslim around, their places are very clean, and they did not touch a stone and showed respected. Inshallah they are also granted iman. They want it, but Shaitan has a million tricks for those men not to become Muslim. There was no such thing as a Muslim in the past there. How many could the conquering/opening (fatih) soldiers be? Millions of people became Muslim for the sake of those holy ones. Even today,
India is the state with the second largest Muslim population in the world. There are more than 200 million Muslims. India is the state with the largest Muslim population after Indonesia. The guys have more than 30 million idols made of wood, what not, and all that they worship. We even saw their factory. Their idol factory is assidiously making idols. They entered Islam for the sake and by the blessings of these holy ones when there were millions of things to worship. They flooded into Islam. Islamic works, thousands of mosques, dargahs, tombs (türbes) decorate those places. There, this is Islam. Because they have the aptitude and are seeking the truth. They see the erroneous things. All of them became Muslim when they saw the beautiful light. This is why our confused Muslims should not fear. They should not be afraid of a tomb, a murshid, or a shaykh. No harm comes from them. No harm comes from a person who fears Allah. Harm comes from those who do not fear Allah. People who do not respect Allah nor Hadrat Prophet are harmful people. May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allah send an owner to this nation. The world is in a tightness and distress. Now, be it Muslim or not, everybody is waiting for a saviour. Therefore, it has gradually started boiling. Inshallah the appearance of Mahdi Alayhis Salam is near. May Allah make us reach him as soon as possible Inshallah.
Bihurmatil Fatiha.
203.CLEAR YOUR HEART Sunday, November 22, 2015.
As-salamu aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Meded ya RasulAllah, meded ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, meded ya Mashayikhina, destur ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, meded. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Hadrat Anas (ra) relates: One day we were sitting together with our Holy Prophet in the mosque, and our Holy Prophet said: the person about to enter is destined for Paradise. They looked and one of the companions entered and sat down. The next day our Holy Prophet spoke again and said: now a person destined for Paradise is about to enter. Again the same person came in. May Allah be pleased with him. On the third day he again said: just now a person destined for Paradise is coming in. Again that same companion joined them. One of those sitting there thought, 'There must be something to this matter, let me see what he is going to do, this blessed one, for him to deserve such joyous words from our Holy Prophet. He was given blissful tidings of Paradise. Let me see, I will spend some time with this man, so that I can learn what he does; then I can act in the same way, and I will become deserving of Paradise as well', he thought. He said to the man 'I had a slight quarrel with my father and I swore not to go home for three days; can you take me in as your guest?' The man answered, 'Please come, you are welcome'. He took him to his home. When it was night he saw that this man, the man destined for Paradise, went to bed. From time to time he rose and recited tasbih and takbir but he did not do all that much. When it was time for fajr prayer, he got up and went to the mosque of the Holy Prophet. This went on for 3 days. Then he said to him, 'I wish to ask you something. Our Holy Prophet said that you are destined for Paradise. I have no quarrel with my father, I only wanted to find out
what it is that you do so that I can do the same in order to attain Paradise. Therefore I stayed with you. From what I saw, you don't do all that much, I mean you do not spend the whole night in prayer, and you are not overly engaged in worship. When you get up, of course, you remember Allah, and recite takbir and subhanallah following the sunnah - whenever you happen to get up. But what is the secret of all this? What is it that you did that our Holy Prophet gave you these blissful tidings of Paradise?' He answered, 'By Allah, I have not done anything special. I am not overly diligent in my practice but in my heart there is no deceit. I do not attempt to trick anyone and I harbour no ill will towards anyone. I try to get along with everybody. That is all the secret there is to it', he said. The secret is not to perform acts of worship and to become proud of that, and to go around with a long beard and turban and to trick people. There is no benefit in that at all. That way you cannot enter Paradise. You must be of use to people. People must be safe from every evil; you must not do them any harm. You must not make trouble for anyone. You must regard everyone as a good person. That is the secret of the matter. Our Holy Prophet, as a lesson for the Muslim community, he gave them this living example. The man slept all night. But his heart was clear and pure. Tassawwuf means purity, to not bear grudges towards anyone, and not to harm anyone and not to try and deceive anybody. You must give your heart to Allah. You must not fill your heart with evil things. If you are like that you will be deserving of Paradise. That is tassawwuf, that is tariqa. These beautiful and subtle points are the things that our Holy Prophet taught us. If a man stands in prayer 24 hours, and eats forbidden food, if he wrongfully takes another's possessions, there is no benefit. If he commits injustice, there is also no benefit, absolutely none, because those are the servants' rights and Allah does not forgive that. He only forgives what touches His own rights, if He wills. He will forgive for the sake of our Holy Prophet, by his intercession. There are people who ask for no intercession. They are then not forgiven.
Therefore, it is not 'I have prayed so much, I have done so much more, therefore I must be more esteemed'. More than the outer, man must clean his inner heart. Our hearts must be pure. Let us work at that. Because we see people who have been here for 20, 30 years. They cut a good figure from outside, but there are people who on the inside have become worse rather than better. We must be more careful of this from now on. Hazrat Anas (ra) he was saying, ''We was in masjid an-nabawi with Prophet (saws) the Prophet (saws) he said, 'now he will enter, one who is from Paradise people'. And entered one sahabi, and we see him and we looking [at] him. Next day, Prophet (saws) again said, 'now will enter one from Paradise people'. Again same man, sahabi, he was entering. Third day, also Prophet (saws) he said, 'now he will enter some[one] from Paradise people' and the same man, he was entering, sahabi (ra)''. ''People was looking, they're not understanding too much, one of them, sahabi, he was curious and he liked to learn how this man become in this good situation, station. And Prophet (saws) [gave] good [tiding for] him, he will be from Paradise people. And he went to this man and he said, 'I am a little bit arguing with my father and I swore to not go to [my] house, three days. Can you host me in your house?' He said, 'Of course'. And first night he was sleeping, together, and this man, whole night sleeping. Only when he went sometimes if he woke up he'd say 'Subhanallah' or 'Allahu Akbar' and sleeping again. One night like this. [On the] second night he waiting to make another thing. [It was the] same. Three night, he only sleeping. Not worshipping, not doing anything, only sleeping''. ''The third day because he will go out from house, he said to him, 'Oh Brother, I have come here, I am not arguing with my father, only I'm just coming to learn how you became from Paradise people, because Prophet (saws) he said for you like this. But I am not seeing any extraordinary thing you are doing, only you are sleeping'. He said, 'You do anything else, because I am here you didn't do?' He said 'No, all time I am like this. I don't know how Prophet (saws) saying this but, what I have, my heart it is clear. No any cheating for people. No any bad intentions. No any bad thought in my heart. Only I like to be good
with people, and not to be bad. Only this I have. This is the secret', he said''. So, it is important more than outside shape to clean your inside also. Prophet (saws), clearness, sufi, saf (pure). They are very clear, very pure, it must be your inside. Not to be darkness, badness in your [in]side. It must be clear and to teach your ego to be better. Not you following ego, ego must following you. It is not important, outside shape, because many people's outside shape it is easy to change. But inside, important inside, and it is very difficult. Even who their shape changing outside, from maybe 20 years, 30 years, some of them they are become worse. Not become better, they are become worse, because these become more proud. We are looking wearing big turban, big beard. No, it is really not good. There is people they have turban bigger than you and they are not in Islam. Why? Because they are slowly, slowly, going out. So Allah make them out of Islam. But if you are sincere you will be without doing many worshipping or ibadah. But if you are sincere, it is acceptable and you will be beloved one for Allah. The people they are trying, some of them quickly to be holy people and they are doing many, but they are not, only doing outside, not inside. The most important [thing in] our Tariqa [is] inside. Allah make us to clear our heart to be full of iman and full of good things for everybody. Not thinking any badness for people. Wa min Allah a-Tawfiq, Al Fatiha
204.FOLLOW THE RIGHT WAY Monday, November 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 l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, dastur Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. "wa anna hadha sirati mustaqiman fattabi'uhu wala tattabi'u as-subula fatafarraqa bikum 'an sabilihi" (6:153) Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying in Quran Azimu Shan to follow the right way. Don't go out of that way. If you go out of the right way, you will lose your path. Your end won't be good. Our Prophet is saying "My way is to love Allah Azza wa Jalla, Quran and me". It is to love our Prophet. After our Prophet we should love his great companions and the rest of the sahaba because the best century was the century of our Prophet. The person Allah created highest of all is our Prophet, then come the great companions of our Prophet, the wives and children of our Prophet, people who come from his generation, and the other sahaba. Allah sent our Prophet alone in the beginning. When he was alone Allah helped him. People asked how was our Prophet an example for them? Our mother Aisha, his holy wife said he was like the Quran. What was he like? Our Prophet was like the Quran. Therefore Allah Azza wa Jalla could have sent our Prophet with protection, without any troubles, had He wished. However, people would have then criticized him for having too much rest, being without sadness and sorrow. For them to not make this sin, Allah Azza wa Jalla made our Prophet suffer troubles. He suffered many more times than others. Among all the prophets, our Prophet suffered the most. Because he was the most
beloved to Allah. Allah sends His beloved ones the most trouble. So too with our Prophet. He suffered many troubles. Also the sahaba. Our Prophet says not to speak anything bad about the sahaba. He says "The sahaba are my friends. Who speaks badly of them goes to hell". There are many hadith about it. He is warning and trying to awaken people, but most people don't hear. Leave aside the sahaba, there are immoral people who swear at his wives. This means they left the right way. Where will a man who lost the right way go? There is only one right way. Who doesn't follow it will end up sad and regretful because on the Day of Judgment our Prophet won't meet him. He won't be allowed to meet him. Allah Azza wa Jalla won't let those people approach His Beloved. Allah doesn't value those who don't respect the sahaba or the family of our Prophet. Their end won't be good. We should pay attention to this. There are many ways, but the right way is the way of our Prophet. And that is the way of Tariqa, shukr to Allah. Our Naqshbandi Tariqa - all tariqas respect and follow the steps of our Prophet, but it is the Naqshbandi Tariqa which values the words of our Prophet the most and follows the way shown by him. Therefore, shukr to Allah, we follow this way and recommend it to people. The Naqshbandi Way is a beautiful way, a way of the Prophet which leads to Allah. There is no other way. Sirat al-mustaqim is the only way. If you go out of it, there are many other ways but not all of them are right. The right way is only one. May we follow it inshaAllah. Allah Azza wa Jalla says: "wa anna hadha sirati mustaqiman fattabi'uhu wala tattabi'u as-subula fatafarraqa bikum 'an sabilihi" (6:153). O Believer, follow the right way, way of Allah. It is only one, this. If you are leaving this way and going outside, you will lose your way because there is only one right way. But we have, million, billion ways, it is taking you to bad place. The way of Allah showing us. How we will know? Prophet (sas) he said who are in right way, who are following Prophet (sas). Prophet (sas) following order of Allah and he is example for whole believer. He and his family. He said "Respect my family, respect my companion also, you will be in right way.
Prophet (sas), when Allah, He send him, he was only by himself. And Allah, He chose good people for him, one by one, one by one. Special, first of good one, his blessed wife, Hazreti Khadijatu l-Kubra. She was first believer for him, first mu'min. She was chosen by Allah and the family of Prophet (sas) coming through her. And after, Sayyidina Abu Bakr, after, Sayyidina Ali, and Sayyidina Uthman. Like this, slowly, slowly, Allah, He chose good people for him. For this Prophet (sas) he said, who will want to be in right way he must respect Prophet (sas), respect his family, respect his companions also. Not only you respect one, you hate other one, no, you must respect all of them because Prophet (sas) he was [making] people aware not to say any bad thing for his companion. Even there is many hadith, says who are saying bad thing for companions they will be in hell. Nowadays people, they are even saying bad things for his family, for his wife, this is, they will be regretted people in Qiyama because Prophet (sas) he will not even make shafa'a (intercession) for them because he is making people aware in dunya and he is saying for this, "You follow right way, don't go out of this way". Any small thing will take you to a way you are not in peace. You'll be in danger in this way. Very small thing can take you. But right way, it is big and it is clear. Who shows this way? Specially, Tariqa. All tariqas but Naqshbandi Tariqa is special for this. It is showing direct to Prophet (sas). How he was acting, how he is saying. And Prophet (sas) when he was sent by himself, was suffering everything from these bad people and they was harming him, doing bad thing for him. He was the most suffering one between all prophets, he said. Why is this? Because Allah if He want, he is the most beloved one for Allah, He can make him just to sit and not do anything. All good things coming to him. But He want to show good example for people to not be saying he was resting and we are suffering. No, nobody suffer like Prophet (sas). And his suffering it was blessed for him also from Allah Azza wa Jalla. Alhamdulillah we are in Naqshbandi Tariqa, we are following Prophet (sas) and showing people to respect Prophet specially and his family and companion and awliyaullah. This is right way. Now we seeing everyday, more and more wrong way around Islamic world, around
world. They are showing people very bad ways. It is not siratu l- mustaqim. Allah save us from these people and make us to be in right way all the time. Wa min Allahi tawfiq, Al-Fatiha
205.DON’T BE HOPELESS Tuesday, November 24, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, dastur, madad ya Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Our tariqa exists with sohbat and goodness is in association. Allah Azza wa Jalla created mankind. Mankind differs in itself, some are believers, others faithless. To people with faith Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying "Don't be afraid, don't worry. I am with you." The condition of the world today is that everybody is worried about what will happen. The whole world, not just our country. They used to bring up various new things just in our country before. Now the whole world is like this. Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying: "La taqnatu min rahma

ing them from representation and they can stay as dervishes if they want to stay. If they do not want to stay, they can do as they like. There are some names; it would not be appropriate to mention them here. We will write them and give them out.
Thank Allah we do not expect any benefits from anybody. Whoever it may be, there is a holy verse (ayat karima): “Whoever it may be, never mind.” It says, “Do not be with falsehood. Be with truth.” When we do this, Inshallah it will first benefit that person. It will be for a person who has been carried away by his ego and shaitan. He should not be saddened that he is removed from his post. He should be happy, because Shaitan has rode on him. He plays around as he likes using the tariqa and using the uniform. Most deputies’ unifroms are Mashallah: the beard is a hand span, the turban is as big as a tray, the jubba and the look is complete. Then complaints come: “How could you appoint this man? We trusted you.” We received so many of these complaints. We do not want to say this. It is not a good thing to be said, but it has to be said now. The truth will be told.
They say “La haya’a fiddin.” There is no shame in religion. This is of two types. It is said, “Al-Haya’ minal iman.” Being ashamed is from faith. However, we are not to be ashamed and not talk about the bad person. It will be a lesson for them and for others. From now on, if he stays properly it is up to him. Also, the one who is removed from being a deputy will remain as a dervish for the rest of his life. Let him not have hope that he might become a deputy again in the future. If he is after becoming a deputy, he can go somewhere else. He can be over there. He can be given representation or sheikhdom. But it is over with us now. The names will be given Inshallah so they can be a lesson for others.
May Allah not make ourselves a donkey for our ego (nafs). May our ego be the donkey. May Allah protect us all from the evil of our ego. The main work of this tariqa is to take the ego under control and ride on it. When you ride you rise; when it rides you become like an animal. Nothing else. May Allah correct us all.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
194.SPIRITUAL GIFTS Friday, November 13, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Alhamdulillah, Allah made it easy and we went to India. We visited the holy ones there. Inshallah they did not leave us empty handed and we have returned with their abundance (fayd). People there are religious Mashallah. They are religious but of course there are many divisions. People who came to us Inshallah will be people showing the right way. There are very good people there Mashallah. Those who are looking after the tombs, those of Hadrat Imam Rabbani and Hadrat Abdullah Dahlawi, are very good people too. They are continuing it, but it gets pretty mixed in other places. That is why tariqa is important. It is very important in terms of teaching manners (adab) and teaching humanity. It is a good thing to follow a tariqa to become happy both in the world and in the hereafter. They are the title deed of Islam there. You look in some places and there are no Muslims around, only they are left. And what is that a sign of? In the future, Inshallah those places will be full of Muslims, Allah willing. Our Shaykh Mawlana says, “I would like for this country to be all Muslim.” Allah willing, with their blessings (baraka) it will happen. Nothing is difficult for Allah Azza wa Jalla. They are everywhere. Just as for a soldier to stand guard against the enemy for one night is more virtuous than worshipping day and night for a hundred years, those holy ones are gaining that merit until the Day of Judgment. Thank Allah, wherever it may be, they do not leave those visiting them empty and send them away with gifts. Spiritual gifts, that is what is important. Materialistic is not important. It finishes really quickly but spirituality is important. They do not leave people empty handed. We came with gifts Inshallah. Inshallah, may Allah grant it to everybody. The month of Safar, Safar ul-Khayr, is about to come. May our month of Safar be good Inshallah. May the evil come to those who do not believe in Allah, who are rebellious against Allah. May the good come to us Inshallah. May its evil go to the enemies of
Islam. The enemies of Islam have gone overly wild. May Allah send all the evils of this month upon them. The duties of this month, as Shaykh Mawlana said: Three Kalima Shahadat (testimony of faith), 70 Astaghfirullah (repentance), and then do not forget to give Sadaqa (charity). When leaving the home, absolutely put the sadaqa in the box. Later you can distribute it to the poor and needy. There are lots who are in need. Inshallah this month passes well and we make it to the month of the Mawlid, Inshallah. We also do the Mawlids Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
195.ADVICE Sunday, November 15, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our tariqa is to train the ego (nafs). It is good to dress in accordance with Islam. May how we look be suitable with Islam. Some people dress according to Islam but their interior does not change. What is important is for both the interior and the exterior to change. When their outer look, their dress, is in accordance with Islam but their interior does not fit, they become from the class of hypocrites (munafiqs). You are dressing and trying to fool people before even cleaning your interior. Even if you are not a munafiq, you enter that class. We should also accept the truth. When something is said or when your friend warns you of something, we should thank them. But instead of thanking, people get angry and show a response saying, “I am not like this or like that.” This is common amongst the people of our era.
They do not accept what is said to their ego and certainly refuse it. Do not immediately refuse when they tell you something. Contemplate whether they are right or not, then you can give an answer. They answer back with incorrect things before even a person opens his/her mouth. It is actually a lie, but people who do these things see themselves as right. They vindicate their egos saying, “I am good.” Whereas the ego is something that is to be trained. When you submit to the shaykh, at first it is an obligation upon a person to accept advice. Because “Ad-din an-nasiha”. “Religion is advice”. As soon as you hear advice, you either fight with the man or show excuses. You try to prove yourself right and never accept advice. And that falls contrary to training your ego. Your ego does not get trained, and on the contrary it gets wilder and wilder.
That is why we should accept advice. This is the most important thing. Do not immediately object when something is said. This is something that needs to be done our whole lives. It does not work listening for two days and then turning back again as before. The ego is trained
slowly. Then a beautiful person and a beautiful Muslim emerges. Firstly they would be of benefit to themselves, and then they would be of benefit to the whole nation. Allah will be our helper Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
196.HAJJA MOTHER Monday, November 16, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi Rasulillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
This world is not our eternal abode. It is a transient place. When entering the graveyard, “O Muslims, greetings (salam) be upon you. Your turn was before us, and we will come after you,” is said (Hadith Sharif, Tirmidhi, Janaiz, 58, 59). Nobody can stay in this world. They can be as rich as they like, and they can be as powerful as they like: the world is a temporary place. Leave behind good people and a good progeny in the world so they may remember you, so they may mention your name in the sight of Allah, and so they may recite mercy on you. Days pass quickly. What is important is for this separation not to be an eternal separation. Days pass suddenly. May Allah have mercy on her, it has been eleven years today since the passing of our Hajja Mother. May Allah increase her station. Thank Allah, Inshallah we will be together again. These are not eternal separations. If it is eternal, then wail, squeal, and cry. Shaykh Mawlana used to say, we read in Yasin Sharif a little ago: “Wamtazul yawma ayyuhal mujrimoon.” (Sura Yasin:59) “Wamtazu” means separate. The mother separates from her child. Because either the mother is an infidel (kafir) or the child is an infidel. Then it is eternal separation of course. Wailing and squealing will boil the Day of Judgment. But as we said before, people go in turn and so do not stay. Inshallah their stations are high. They served this tariqa a lot. Nobody has done as much service to Shaykh Mawlana, our father, as she has. Her station is very high. She was amongst the Fourty anyway. It is not easy to be from the Fourty, as it is a very high degree. May mercy come on us as we mention her Inshallah. May her blessings (baraka) be upon us. Inshallah may we always be together until eternity in the hereafter, in paradise. Let us read three Ikhlas and one Fatiha. Firstly, for the soul of our Holy Prophet (SAW), all prophets, their families and companions, for our shaykhs, our shaykh Hadrat Shaykh Nazim and our Hajja Mother, and for all of our passed ones, let us read three Ikhlas and one Fatiha.
197.THE FAVOR OF ALLAH Tuesday, November, 17 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. “Wa’lamu anna feekum Rasulallah, law yuti’ukum fi kathirin minal amri la’anittum, walakinnAllaha habbaba ilaykumal imana wa zayyanahu fi qulubikum, wa karraha ilaykumal kufra wal fusuqa wal isyan, ula’ika humur rashidun.” (Sura Hujurat:7) This is a verse (ayat) where Allah is addressing Muslims such that He says: “The Prophet is with you,” “Wa’lamu anna fikum Rusulallah.” Some people say about our Holy Prophet, save him, “He is dead now, nothing is left!” There is no such thing. When you recite salat and salam on our Holy Prophet (SAW), he himself is readily available and receives that salat and salam. There is no doubt about this. If you were given everything you wanted right away, you would go wild. Religion is not according to how people like. Islam and life are not according to how people want. We need to follow the way shown by Allah so that we may reach Allah and reach the Holy Prophet. Allah also says, “Allah made your hearts love faith (iman).”
That is an important thing too, because not everybody has love of faith. Most of the world is faithless. They do not believe in Islam, in Allah, or in the Holy Prophet. Allah needs to make us love so we can love. Thank Allah, Allah (JJ) gives glad tidings of it to Muslims in the mentioned verse and says, “Allah made you love faith and He made it adorn your hearts.” What happens when faith is in the heart? Beauty occurs. Allah Azza wa Jalla says in the same verse, “Allah made you dislike and hate unbelief (kufr), doing evil, and rebellion against Allah.” These are great favors. We see how other nations are: they immediately rebel, curse, disobey Allah, and do all sorts of vileness. And they present it to people as humanity. This is the difference between Muslims and non- Muslims. Muslims love faith and it is in their hearts. Muslims do not oppose Allah. The others are the exact opposite. They do not like faith, they like unbelief, they like rebellion, they like doing harm, and they like following their ego.
May Allah be our helper so that we are not with them. May faith ever be in our hearts Inshallah. May faith be all around us so that there is light Inshallah. Mey we hate evils, unbelief, and rebellion, and may we never relish them. May Allah be our helper.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
198.WE ARE GETTING BY Wednesday, November 18, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some idioms in this world. They say, “We rub along.” We rub along. How? We get up in the morning. People are of two kinds. They either get up mentioning (making zikr of) Allah or they get up in a state of heedlesness (ghaflat). People making zikr get up in the morning, pray, and have breakfast. They perform the Noon (Dhuhr), Afternoon (Asr), Evening (Maghrib), and Night (Isha) prayers. They go to bed reciting verses (ayats). This way one day is over. The second person, however, has no idea of these. They do not know how the day passed, and continue in the same way. As we head to the second day and the third day, we cycle like this our whole lives. We make it to morning again everyday, and again cycle the same way. This is a good cycle. The others, people who do not remember Allah, are in a vicious cycle. The vicious cycle is an unbeneficial cycle. There is nothing. They go about living like grass, like animals, and nothing else. Animals also have a cycle but animals know Allah. Those who do not recognize Allah are harmful for people and harmful for humanity. The whole universe is like this. Allah Azza wa Jalla also says in the Koran: “Wash-shamsu tajri limustaqarrin laha, thalika taqdiru al-Aziz al- Alim.” (Sura Yasin:38) [And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term. That is the Decree of the AllMighty, the All-Knowing]. We are getting by. Where are we going? We are going to Allah. Some say, “It is not clear where he is going,” but it is clear. The whole universe is going to Allah Azza wa Jalla, and there is nowhere else to go. For this reason, turn to Allah and remember Allah. Let our life not consist of a vicious cycle, and may it be useful Inshallah.

199.THE MANIFESTATION OF PATIENCE Thursday, November 19, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
The Asmaul Husna are the names of Allah Azza wa Jalla. 99 names, each has a manifestation. They have manifested themselves differently at all times. Now, the manifestation of the name as-Sabur is occurring. Because people have gone so wild and gone so astray that we are living the manifestation of the holy name of patience. He waits in patience. Afterwards, when this period is over, these people will be questioned. Mahdi Alayhis Salam will come and show everyone their place, will give everyone their due, and truth will appear.
“Wa qul ja’al haqqu wa zahaqal baatil.” (Sura Isra:81) Truth will appear and falsehood will end. Only falsehood is around these days, and everybody is going after falsehood. Even though there might be a couple of people in the whole world who are against falsehod, they do not have much benefit. The manifestation of this time is the manifestation of patience. This has been going on for 100-150 years. The time is probably near. Inshallah everyone will see this era. At that time, the protection Allah provides will be for some people and not for most. Because most have gone wild. Even though Allah is capable of everyhting, He is being patient. And He knows the wisdom behind this. Now, because this age is the last age, becasue it is before Judgment Day, the exalted name of patience is manifested. Inshallah Mahdi Alayhis Salam appears soon and shows these people their boundaires. Becasue they have gone against Allah and have rebelled against Allah. Allah has names and attributes. Now, the attribute of these times is patience. What is meant by patience is very patient, as there is exaggeration like this. May Allah protect us all from the evils of our ego and the evils of these people Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
200.SELFISHNESS Friday, November 20, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Islam orders the good for people. It says all Muslims are brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters mean there is no selfishness in Islam. Selfishness is a bad habit and a habit that Islam does not want. That is why, whatever you want for yourself, you need to want for your Muslim brother or sister. You will love them as you love yourself. Selfishness is the complete opposite. People want everything for themselves and not for others. Sometimes people have envy. They get upset at others having something. Whereas what would happen if the whole world were yours? How much could you eat? Say you could eat as much as five men. What is after that is selfishness and greed. Whoever is greedy is insatiable. Everybody has selfishness. Islam trains that selfishness, removes that selfishness, and provides a good habit instead. Selfishness is a bad habit. Neither Muslims nor nonMuslims like selfishness. But it is normal in non-Muslims. In fact, they encourage to do it more and they do it more. They say they would never give up on their rights and what they own. Whereas it is possible. Sharing is what is right. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Share everything.” Allah (JJ) continuously orders charity (sadaqa), obligatory alms (zakat), and doing good. These are the reverse of selfishness. Selfish people neither give charity nor do good. Selfish people want to keep it all for themselves. That is also another form of stupidity. Give so Allah might give you its reward in the hereafter. If you do not give you will say, “I wish I had given everything and had not left anything for myself.” Good manners are the manners of Islam. Islam shows bad things as bad so you do not go after them and so you do not go after Shaitan. May Allah protects uf rom the evils of our ego, and may He save us all from this bad habit Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
201.DO NOT RUN AWAY Saturday, November 21, 2015.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. “Kam min fi’atin qalilatin ghalabat fi’atan kathiratan bi’iznillah, wallahu ma’assabirin.” (Sura Baqara:249) When Allah Azza wa Jalla wants, He can grant victory to even a small group of people over a large group of people. There is no fear when we are with Allah. It is a sin to withdraw in war. Meaning to withdraw and flee when fighting with the enemy is one of the great sins. It is along the same line as murdering a man or drinking alcohol. To fear the enemy and withdraw is one of the great sins. Be with Allah and remember Allah so that you do not flee in the face of hardship. Whatever hardship it may be, you confront it and Allah helps. Help comes from where you would never expect and the thing you need reaches you. Now we see everywhere, the whole world is against Islam, attacking. Even if we are a little bunch, when Allah Azza wa Jalla helps, they cannot do anything Allah willing. If the whole world’s weapons were to come, those who are with Allah would be victorious again Inshallah. May Allah help these oppressed people.1 May Allah grant them victory. We toured around there a lot with Shaykh Mawlana. Inshallah he becomes a means for them to be victorious.
Al-Fatiha.
202.THE SLAVE OF SHAITAN Saturday, November 21, 2015.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habe Rasulallah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al- Haqqani. Dastur. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. Madad. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya. Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.
Holy ones are everywhere. They are all over the world. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “With them your sustenance arrives, with them it rains, and with them you gain victory.” Awliyaullah (friends of Allah), sahabas (companions), and prophets. Of course, first there were prophets, then came righteous (salih) people. There are sahabas after our Holy Prophet. They are the people in the highest station of the nation (ummah). Then come those who have followed them and those who have followed those who have followed them. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “The best time is my time.” “Then it is those after me,” he says. Subsequently, he counts another 100-150 years and says corruption will emerge in the world following that. As people multiply, less good people remain. People were few during the time of our Holy Prophet (SAW) and there were 124,000 sahabas. That was a large body. 124,000 is not a small thing for that time. Later, as people multiplied the number stayed the same, it stayed 124,000. It is the same now, but 124,000 holy ones in 6-7 billion is a small number (there are 124,000 awliya on the face of earth in every period after the sahabas). People who do evil are increasing, but if it were not for the 124,000, this world would not stay for a minute. They always exist and are present in every period. When one goes, Allah (JJ) immediately appoints someone else instead. They also have to be alive. Past holy ones have power too, but those our Holy Prophet (SAW) mentioned are those who are alive, meaning people serving in the world. Their services are needed. This world is not a planet that turns for no reason. Allah (JJ) is capable of everything. Nothing is difficult for Allah. Allah does what He wants and does not ask anybody. This teaching, this training, Islamic training, is the training of tariqa. Adab (manners) is a very important thing. It is appropriate if we say adab is the foundation of religion. No religion, iman, nor anything else remains without adab. And this is the difference between us, people who are Muslim, and people who are not Muslim.
What does adab mean? Obeying orders. It is respecting the shaykh in front of us, respecting our Holy Prophet (SAW), and respecting Allah. People who do not do this firstly do not respect the person across, then they do not respect the guide (murshid), they do not respect Hadrat Prophet, and they do not respect Allah. What does this mean? This clearly means the name we always hear, this is democracy. Ill-manner is democracy. Not to talk politics during the sermon. This needs to be said because they include it in everything. Its name says it all anyway. Demo means crazy. Furthermore, with what is next to it, it means something like crazy talk. It is something like this if you look at its real meaning. You have to interfere in everything, you have to stick your nose in everything, and you should also have an opinion. This is something that does not benefit anything. Some wise guy comes out and says there is democracy in Islam. There is no democracy in Islam. Clever people are those who extract decrees from the hadiths of our Holy Prophet (SAW), from verses (ayats) and suras (chapters) sent by Allah in His book, the Azimushan (Glorious) Koran. They do all their works according to it, not like democracy. If something is to happen, the most intelligent people are gathered and they make a decision accordingly. After our Holy Prophet (SAW), there was a mashwara, a board of councils. Those holy ones are 5-10. They decide who is to become the khalifa. If something is to be done, they get advice from them and consult them so the right decision is taken. Everybody has a job, but these are bad times. We have reached such times that they talk about democracy, elections, and what not, but this is a game of Shaitan. Only Allah Azza wa Jalla shoots Shaitan with his own weapon too when He wants. When you want democracy, “There you go: democracy!” is said and Allah’s orders come out in the open. How did we come to this subject? We came to democracy and bloody what not from adab. The West is who taught us democracy. Shaykh Mawlana, may Allah raise his station, would continuously say, “The West, the bloody/setting West!” Let us not fall behind either: “The West, the bloody/setting West!” It has set anyway. It has set. What was it, how come Allah Azza wa Jalla allows so many wars to occur so that so much blood is spilled, and why is this happening? If it were Shaykh Mawlana, he would spit here. Now look here, will He ask you O mentally unbalanced, ill-mannered, and immoral one?! Will He make elections? Will He appoint a prime minister speaker or speaker of what not? Allah (JJ) does what He wants.
Shaykh Mawlana had a qasida (eulogy): “Kulluna abeed, wallahul Muhaymin (the Controller) yaf’alu ma ureed.” He would say this. All of us are servants. We are all servants in the sight of Allah. Allah does
what He wants. You read two books, something of an Indian kafir guru, empty man, maybe you memorized three or five sayings of philosophers, and you go ahead and think you are smart? Will you question Allah Azza wa Jalla? There, this is what I am saying, this is the difference between Muslims and nonMuslims. There is no respect for anything with them. For one, there is no adab. That is why they are naked. No matter how they dress, those guys have no adab. When there is no adab, there is no iman. These sayings are a hundred percent contrary to Allah Azza wa Jalla and to adab. They have no adab towards anybody and think of none but themselves. Only those who are Muslim are worthy of humanity. Otherwise, unmanerred people are not considered human. Becasue those without manners are only four-legged. The guys walk around naked and do whatever they want. However, four-legged ones are better yet. They fear Allah, they say their tasbih of Allah, and know their creator. They don’t have this either. They are directly Shaitan’s soldiers and Shaitan’s slaves. Not servants, they are directly slaves of Shaitan. There is nothing to emulate about them. O people, O Muslims! This desire to imitate is in all of us. See their reality and be thankful for your condition. They are purely paint. They are truely paint. We went to America twenty years ago. Everybody watches their movies on television, here and there, and in the Shaitan cabinet. If you could only see, nothing is true there, and it is all lies. Whatever there is, it is nothing but vileness. Nothing they show is true. They have fooled the world like this. Let humankind not be fooled. If humankind is to be human, let them come to the way of Allah, let them come to being Muslim. They would live with honor in the world and win their hereafter. There is nothing else to emulate. This worls is a temporary world anyway, and it comes and goes suddenly. Turn back to Allah and follow the way of Allah. Be on the right path, be on the path of adab. Most important of all, as we said, respect the holy ones, the prophets, the sahaba, and the awliya. Their stations are light (nur), their places are light. We were with the holy ones ten days ago. Even though each one is in the lands of unbelief (kufr), their places are like gardens of paradise. Even kafirs (unbelievers) come and visit them there. So there is so much abundance (fayd) that they cannot hold themselves. Whereas they are enemies of Muslims. But they have respected those persons and protected them. Even though there is not a single Muslim around, their places are very clean, and they did not touch a stone and showed respected. Inshallah they are also granted iman. They want it, but Shaitan has a million tricks for those men not to become Muslim. There was no such thing as a Muslim in the past there. How many could the conquering/opening (fatih) soldiers be? Millions of people became Muslim for the sake of those holy ones. Even today,
India is the state with the second largest Muslim population in the world. There are more than 200 million Muslims. India is the state with the largest Muslim population after Indonesia. The guys have more than 30 million idols made of wood, what not, and all that they worship. We even saw their factory. Their idol factory is assidiously making idols. They entered Islam for the sake and by the blessings of these holy ones when there were millions of things to worship. They flooded into Islam. Islamic works, thousands of mosques, dargahs, tombs (türbes) decorate those places. There, this is Islam. Because they have the aptitude and are seeking the truth. They see the erroneous things. All of them became Muslim when they saw the beautiful light. This is why our confused Muslims should not fear. They should not be afraid of a tomb, a murshid, or a shaykh. No harm comes from them. No harm comes from a person who fears Allah. Harm comes from those who do not fear Allah. People who do not respect Allah nor Hadrat Prophet are harmful people. May Allah protect us from their evil. May Allah send an owner to this nation. The world is in a tightness and distress. Now, be it Muslim or not, everybody is waiting for a saviour. Therefore, it has gradually started boiling. Inshallah the appearance of Mahdi Alayhis Salam is near. May Allah make us reach him as soon as possible Inshallah.
Bihurmatil Fatiha.
203.CLEAR YOUR HEART Sunday, November 22, 2015.
As-salamu aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Meded ya RasulAllah, meded ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, meded ya Mashayikhina, destur ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, meded. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Hadrat Anas (ra) relates: One day we were sitting together with our Holy Prophet in the mosque, and our Holy Prophet said: the person about to enter is destined for Paradise. They looked and one of the companions entered and sat down. The next day our Holy Prophet spoke again and said: now a person destined for Paradise is about to enter. Again the same person came in. May Allah be pleased with him. On the third day he again said: just now a person destined for Paradise is coming in. Again that same companion joined them. One of those sitting there thought, 'There must be something to this matter, let me see what he is going to do, this blessed one, for him to deserve such joyous words from our Holy Prophet. He was given blissful tidings of Paradise. Let me see, I will spend some time with this man, so that I can learn what he does; then I can act in the same way, and I will become deserving of Paradise as well', he thought. He said to the man 'I had a slight quarrel with my father and I swore not to go home for three days; can you take me in as your guest?' The man answered, 'Please come, you are welcome'. He took him to his home. When it was night he saw that this man, the man destined for Paradise, went to bed. From time to time he rose and recited tasbih and takbir but he did not do all that much. When it was time for fajr prayer, he got up and went to the mosque of the Holy Prophet. This went on for 3 days. Then he said to him, 'I wish to ask you something. Our Holy Prophet said that you are destined for Paradise. I have no quarrel with my father, I only wanted to find out
what it is that you do so that I can do the same in order to attain Paradise. Therefore I stayed with you. From what I saw, you don't do all that much, I mean you do not spend the whole night in prayer, and you are not overly engaged in worship. When you get up, of course, you remember Allah, and recite takbir and subhanallah following the sunnah - whenever you happen to get up. But what is the secret of all this? What is it that you did that our Holy Prophet gave you these blissful tidings of Paradise?' He answered, 'By Allah, I have not done anything special. I am not overly diligent in my practice but in my heart there is no deceit. I do not attempt to trick anyone and I harbour no ill will towards anyone. I try to get along with everybody. That is all the secret there is to it', he said. The secret is not to perform acts of worship and to become proud of that, and to go around with a long beard and turban and to trick people. There is no benefit in that at all. That way you cannot enter Paradise. You must be of use to people. People must be safe from every evil; you must not do them any harm. You must not make trouble for anyone. You must regard everyone as a good person. That is the secret of the matter. Our Holy Prophet, as a lesson for the Muslim community, he gave them this living example. The man slept all night. But his heart was clear and pure. Tassawwuf means purity, to not bear grudges towards anyone, and not to harm anyone and not to try and deceive anybody. You must give your heart to Allah. You must not fill your heart with evil things. If you are like that you will be deserving of Paradise. That is tassawwuf, that is tariqa. These beautiful and subtle points are the things that our Holy Prophet taught us. If a man stands in prayer 24 hours, and eats forbidden food, if he wrongfully takes another's possessions, there is no benefit. If he commits injustice, there is also no benefit, absolutely none, because those are the servants' rights and Allah does not forgive that. He only forgives what touches His own rights, if He wills. He will forgive for the sake of our Holy Prophet, by his intercession. There are people who ask for no intercession. They are then not forgiven.
Therefore, it is not 'I have prayed so much, I have done so much more, therefore I must be more esteemed'. More than the outer, man must clean his inner heart. Our hearts must be pure. Let us work at that. Because we see people who have been here for 20, 30 years. They cut a good figure from outside, but there are people who on the inside have become worse rather than better. We must be more careful of this from now on. Hazrat Anas (ra) he was saying, ''We was in masjid an-nabawi with Prophet (saws) the Prophet (saws) he said, 'now he will enter, one who is from Paradise people'. And entered one sahabi, and we see him and we looking [at] him. Next day, Prophet (saws) again said, 'now will enter one from Paradise people'. Again same man, sahabi, he was entering. Third day, also Prophet (saws) he said, 'now he will enter some[one] from Paradise people' and the same man, he was entering, sahabi (ra)''. ''People was looking, they're not understanding too much, one of them, sahabi, he was curious and he liked to learn how this man become in this good situation, station. And Prophet (saws) [gave] good [tiding for] him, he will be from Paradise people. And he went to this man and he said, 'I am a little bit arguing with my father and I swore to not go to [my] house, three days. Can you host me in your house?' He said, 'Of course'. And first night he was sleeping, together, and this man, whole night sleeping. Only when he went sometimes if he woke up he'd say 'Subhanallah' or 'Allahu Akbar' and sleeping again. One night like this. [On the] second night he waiting to make another thing. [It was the] same. Three night, he only sleeping. Not worshipping, not doing anything, only sleeping''. ''The third day because he will go out from house, he said to him, 'Oh Brother, I have come here, I am not arguing with my father, only I'm just coming to learn how you became from Paradise people, because Prophet (saws) he said for you like this. But I am not seeing any extraordinary thing you are doing, only you are sleeping'. He said, 'You do anything else, because I am here you didn't do?' He said 'No, all time I am like this. I don't know how Prophet (saws) saying this but, what I have, my heart it is clear. No any cheating for people. No any bad intentions. No any bad thought in my heart. Only I like to be good
with people, and not to be bad. Only this I have. This is the secret', he said''. So, it is important more than outside shape to clean your inside also. Prophet (saws), clearness, sufi, saf (pure). They are very clear, very pure, it must be your inside. Not to be darkness, badness in your [in]side. It must be clear and to teach your ego to be better. Not you following ego, ego must following you. It is not important, outside shape, because many people's outside shape it is easy to change. But inside, important inside, and it is very difficult. Even who their shape changing outside, from maybe 20 years, 30 years, some of them they are become worse. Not become better, they are become worse, because these become more proud. We are looking wearing big turban, big beard. No, it is really not good. There is people they have turban bigger than you and they are not in Islam. Why? Because they are slowly, slowly, going out. So Allah make them out of Islam. But if you are sincere you will be without doing many worshipping or ibadah. But if you are sincere, it is acceptable and you will be beloved one for Allah. The people they are trying, some of them quickly to be holy people and they are doing many, but they are not, only doing outside, not inside. The most important [thing in] our Tariqa [is] inside. Allah make us to clear our heart to be full of iman and full of good things for everybody. Not thinking any badness for people. Wa min Allah a-Tawfiq, Al Fatiha
204.FOLLOW THE RIGHT WAY Monday, November 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 l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, dastur Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani, Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al- Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. "wa anna hadha sirati mustaqiman fattabi'uhu wala tattabi'u as-subula fatafarraqa bikum 'an sabilihi" (6:153) Allah Azza wa Jalla is saying in Quran Azimu Shan to follow the right way. Don't go out of that way. If you go out of the right way, you will lose your path. Your end won't be good. Our Prophet is saying "My way is to love Allah Azza wa Jalla, Quran and me". It is to love our Prophet. After our Prophet we should love his great companions and the rest of the sahaba because the best century was the century of our Prophet. The person Allah created highest of all is our Prophet, then come the great companions of our Prophet, the wives and children of our Prophet, people who come from his generation, and the other sahaba. Allah sent our Prophet alone in the beginning. When he was alone Allah helped him. People asked how was our Prophet an example for them? Our mother Aisha, his holy wife said he was like the Quran. What was he like? Our Prophet was like the Quran. Therefore Allah Azza wa Jalla could have sent our Prophet with protection, without any troubles, had He wished. However, people would have then criticized him for having too much rest, being without sadness and sorrow. For them to not make this sin, Allah Azza wa Jalla made our Prophet suffer troubles. He suffered many more times than others. Among all the prophets, our Prophet suffered the most. Because he was the most
beloved to Allah. Allah sends His beloved ones the most trouble. So too with our Prophet. He suffered many troubles. Also the sahaba. Our Prophet says not to speak anything bad about the sahaba. He says "The sahaba are my friends. Who speaks badly of them goes to hell". There are many hadith about it. He is warning and trying to awaken people, but most people don't hear. Leave aside the sahaba, there are immoral people who swear at his wives. This means they left the right way. Where will a man who lost the right way go? There is only one right way. Who doesn't follow it will end up sad and regretful because on the Day of Judgment our Prophet won't meet him. He won't be allowed to meet him. Allah Azza wa Jalla won't let those people approach His Beloved. Allah doesn't value those who don't respect the sahaba or the family of our Prophet. Their end won't be good. We should pay attention to this. There are many ways, but the right way is the way of our Prophet. And that is the way of Tariqa, shukr to Allah. Our Naqshbandi Tariqa - all tariqas respect and follow the steps of our Prophet, but it is the Naqshbandi Tariqa which values the words of our Prophet the most and follows the way shown by him. Therefore, shukr to Allah, we follow this way and recommend it to people. The Naqshbandi Way is a beautiful way, a way of the Prophet which leads to Allah. There is no other way. Sirat al-mustaqim is the only way. If you go out of it, there are many other ways but not all of them are right. The right way is only one. May we follow it inshaAllah. Allah Azza wa Jalla says: "wa anna hadha sirati mustaqiman fattabi'uhu wala tattabi'u as-subula fatafarraqa bikum 'an sabilihi" (6:153). O Believer, follow the right way, way of Allah. It is only one, this. If you are leaving this way and going outside, you will lose your way because there is only one right way. But we have, million, billion ways, it is taking you to bad place. The way of Allah showing us. How we will know? Prophet (sas) he said who are in right way, who are following Prophet (sas). Prophet (sas) following order of Allah and he is example for whole believer. He and his family. He said "Respect my family, respect my companion also, you will be in right way.
Prophet (sas), when Allah, He send him, he was only by himself. And Allah, He chose good people for him, one by one, one by one. Special, first of good one, his blessed wife, Hazreti Khadijatu l-Kubra. She was first believer for him, first mu'min. She was chosen by Allah and the family of Prophet (sas) coming through her. And after, Sayyidina Abu Bakr, after, Sayyidina Ali, and Sayyidina Uthman. Like this, slowly, slowly, Allah, He chose good people for him. For this Prophet (sas) he said, who will want to be in right way he must respect Prophet (sas), respect his family, respect his companions also. Not only you respect one, you hate other one, no, you must respect all of them because Prophet (sas) he was [making] people aware not to say any bad thing for his companion. Even there is many hadith, says who are saying bad thing for companions they will be in hell. Nowadays people, they are even saying bad things for his family, for his wife, this is, they will be regretted people in Qiyama because Prophet (sas) he will not even make shafa'a (intercession) for them because he is making people aware in dunya and he is saying for this, "You follow right way, don't go out of this way". Any small thing will take you to a way you are not in peace. You'll be in danger in this way. Very small thing can take you. But right way, it is big and it is clear. Who shows this way? Specially, Tariqa. All tariqas but Naqshbandi Tariqa is special for this. It is showing direct to Prophet (sas). How he was acting, how he is saying. And Prophet (sas) when he was sent by himself, was suffering everything from these bad people and they was harming him, doing bad thing for him. He was the most suffering one between all prophets, he said. Why is this? Because Allah if He want, he is the most beloved one for Allah, He can make him just to sit and not do anything. All good things coming to him. But He want to show good example for people to not be saying he was resting and we are suffering. No, nobody suffer like Prophet (sas). And his suffering it was blessed for him also from Allah Azza wa Jalla. Alhamdulillah we are in Naqshbandi Tariqa, we are following Prophet (sas) and showing people to respect Prophet specially and his family and companion and awliyaullah. This is right way.
