Suhbah 2015: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (30/30)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5442
aitan want, so will be easy to grow yourself and to be perfect human being. This is what Prophet (sas) and mashsha'ikh showing us. And you cannot do this by yourself. Maybe one from million, if they can do this by self but it is not common. Very rare. And they are, it is like nothing. But who are following mashsha'ikh and murshid, who [have] guidance, they are become good people. Like if you are in love with something, this love you can change it for real love, love of Allah, love of Prophet and mashsha'ikh. You can do this. It is not so difficult when you following mashsha'ikh. You can do this and you'll be happy forever. If you love something for this dunya, nothing in this world forever. The love forever [is] love for Allah and for Prophet (sas) and for mashsha'ikh. From this dunya don't love anything from material
things. Who your ego like, your desire like, it is just like dream. You can get everything here but after, nothing in your hand. But real love, love of Allah is real. It is whole time with you. We are training to make ourself to follow Allah and Prophet (saw). This is teaching of mashsha'ikh, not to make Tariqa, or Prophet, or Allah Azza wa Jalla to use them for your benefit. No.
If you do this, you'll be loser. It is very important because many people's shape, their shape it is very good from outside, but not touching their ego. Their desire still may be worse than before. This is very important and when sometimes we say to these people something, they are not accept. So after this we don't say anything. But we try to keep them away from people, to not make other people also to be loser. We isolate these people. So everybody must be careful for what they are doing.
Mawlana Sheikh, he was teaching the 'Lightness' way and it is [to be] inheritor for him to follow this way. Don't go out of way, not following. He never give any importance for dunya, only for akhira. We are in tariqa, we must control every thing from ourselves and to try to be in way of Prophet and way of mashsha'ikh, inshaAllah. Allah help us for bi hurmat Nabina Muhammad (saw) and baraka of Mawlana Sheikh inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
229.WE SENT YOU AS A MERCY FOR WHOLE CREATION (21:107)
Monday, December 21, 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 Mashaykhina, 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 rRahmani r-Rahim. "wama arsalnaka illa rahmatan l il-alameen" (21:107) Our Prophet is the prophet of mercy, the prophet of compassion. The religion of Islam is the religion of mercy. Allah sent our Prophet as a mercy and blessing to people. The birthday of the prophet (saw) is approaching. Mawlid to be more accurate. Mercy on that day of Mawlid. You ask why people care about it so much. It is a mercy to remove things that are harmful to people. It is a mercy to stop those who oppress people, to oppose them, to stop their oppression. It is big mercy towards people.
Some people ask why there is jihad. Jihad is because if you don't stop those people, you won't have shown mercy to normal people. Mankind is weak. A bandit with a gun in his hands will oppress everyone. To remove that oppression is a big mercy towards people. People are oppressors. They are oppressors both to themselves and to others and to remove that oppression is also a big compassion, a big mercy. Our Prophet is a most merciful person.
Since his birth, he would think about his nation saying "My ummah." All he wanted and thought about was for his ummah to be saved from the fire of hell and reach Allah's favours and Paradise. He asked intercession from Allah Azza wa Jalla for this. But of course, things we see people doing today in the name of Islam have nothing to do with Islam. They are causing oppression. Not compassion, but direct oppression. Our Prophet doesn't accept and is not pleased with such
things. Allah Azza wa Jalla said "We sent you as mercy to the universes".
"Wama arsalnaka illa rahmatan lil-'alameen" (21:107).
It is the truth. The most compassionate person is our Prophet. There would remain no kafir, if he had wanted. If he had asked just once from Allah Azza wa Jalla, all of them would have perished and gone. Just as Nuh alaihi salam made a prayer and the whole world went under water; all the kafirs were drowned. Our Prophet could do even worse because he is Sayyid al- Mursalin, Sayyid (Master) of the Prophets. Allah never rejects his prayers, but he never wanted pain for anyone. He asked for guidance for everyone. And that is, Allah does what He wants. You can't have whoever you want guided. That is another wisdom. Our Prophet still asked for intercession and prayed to Allah asking for guidance for his ummah. How lucky we are to be from his ummah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla saying in Quran, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim: "wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan li l-alamin" (21:107). Our Prophet Muhammad (sas) he is the most merciful prophet. And he is, Allah sent him, mercy for whole creation. This is ayah: "wa ma arsalnaka rahmatan li l-alamin". And he was all time asking forgiveness and he asking for his ummah to be in Right Way. Whole time, what he think all time, thinking about good thing, about mercy for ummah and bless for ummah. Allah, He send him, he was when fighting against bad people, even that time also he was fighting with nobility and not to hurt any children, any women, any old people, [those] who are not fighting, he is not fighting with them.
These non-believer people, enemy of Islam, they are showing Islam as horrible. Violence religion. No. Even when fighting with bad people, this [is] mercy for people, because small group from people they are oppressing other people and make them to go out of Right Way and not let them to follow Way of Allah. So when Prophet (sas) free them and they coming to Right Way and way of blessed, it is big favour for them. Because other people only following their ego and fighting to make pleasure for their ego. But Prophet (sas) cleaning this dirtiness from Earth and it is mercy for other people.
To get rid of oppressor people, bad people, it is big mercy for people. Who are not knowing this they are just thinking and then shaitan told them "this is not good". No, not good to leave bad people to oppress for other people, to make them follow his bad idea, idea of non-believer. Prophet (sas) was fighting, he said, "I am fighting to say to people to get them to Right Way because people they are oppressor. Oppressor for other people and for themself also". When they be not-believer so the end of them it will be horrible. So it is mercy from Prophet (sas) to take them to Right Way. This is the wisdom of fighting against these bad people. Not only for pleasure, no.
Prophet (sas) saying every time, "as-sulhu khair". Peace it is the best, but when it is necessary there is fight also. But fight, not like these people you are seeing. These people they are especially make to show Islam horrible. Many since the beginning fo Islam there's like these people, many of them come. But it is not long, not staying long, but every time making, this is fitna. Prophet (sas) he not accept to kill any children, any women, any old people or not-fighting people. Only fighting with bad people.
This is His Mercy, Allah, we are thanking Allah we're from his nation. Alhamdulillah. And it is a big favour, not following ego and following Prophet (sas). Allah keep us in his way, insha Allah.
Wa min Allahi taufiq, Al-Fatiha.
230.YOU MUST LOVE AND PRAISE HIM Tuesday, December 22, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastoor, Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh 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 man yuazzim sha-a'ir Allahi fa innaha min taqwal qulub" (22:32) Whoever respects the ordinances of Allah, this is surely from the piety of hearts.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says "whoever respects the ordinances", it means the duties of Hajj. One of them is sacrificing an animal, you have to respect those sacrifices, you have to praise them. That praising is a sign that the hearts are full of piety. The more you praise, the more you get benefit. We are saying this, Allah forbid of course there is no comparison to our Prophet (sas). Sha-a'ir is everything, that is created for our Prophet (sas). So, no matter how much you praise Him (sas) still it is not enough. What we do is nothing.
There are some people, who confuse others saying, "If you praise too much, it is a sin. Isn't it too much praising?" You are thinking with your small brain. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not give according to your thinking. Allah praised Him (sas), saying; "My Prophet, Habibi". Habibi means ‘Beloved’. It means we have to love him (sas). Love our Prophet (sas), who was named as ‘the Beloved’ by Allah. The more you love him (sas), the more you benefit, the more you reach higher stations, the more you are rewarded and the closer you get to Allah.
May Allah bless you all. You came all the way to praise the Prophet (sas) for Mawlid-an Nabi, you showed all this respect. Allah won't send you back empty handed. Gifts, barakah, mercy, graces, peace, Allah will give you the best of everything. By praising the Prophet (sas) if you give one, He (awj) gives you ten, hundreds, thousands. Allah Azza wa Jalla is not like us. If we are giving something we say; "If this finishes,
nothing will be left for the next person, so lets give him a little, give the other one a little". Bur Allah Azza wa Jalla is not like this. Allah's treasures are endless. Allah's dominion is unimaginable. Allah gives. Do not have any doubt. Praise our Prophet (sas). I think it was Imam al Busiri who said; "Praise him (sas), except don't say what the Christians say for their prophet (as)." You can say anything except that. They said he (as) was God. It is not true. Our Prophet (sas) is much higher than him (as) but he (sas) is not like as they say. Allah is One, the Prophet (sas) is His Beloved, Messenger, and our intercessor and our noor (light). Prophet (sas) is the light of this world. The ones who confuse people they receive nothing. If they cause people to go astray their sins are doubled, their sins are multiplied. They get less grace and fewer blessings, they lose their light and they get dark. May Allah protect us. Not only this Mawlid day, InshaAllah the whole month may be blessed.
Allah Azza wa Jalla, He said in Quran: "Wa man yuazzim sha-a'ir Allahi fa innaha min taqwal qulub" (22:32) This what meaning? This is for Hajj; there is some kind of thing to do and this is called, each one, 'sha-a'ir'. You must praise it, you must make it high, you must respect it. Because when you respect this, it is from belief and to be fear of Allah in your heart. And it is the fear of Allah that it must be in real believer. Some people, they said, "Why we must fear from Allah?" Of course, if you fear from Allah, nobody can make you to fear. But if you don't fear from Allah and to be look what he is happy, what he is not happy, so you will fear from everybody. This is punishment.
When you fear from Allah, you'll be good human being because you must be ashamed from Allah if you believe, you will be in front of Him and you will be asked and you will be ashamed. This is what is fear from Allah, to be ashamed from Allah. You cannot do bad thing and be happy in front of Allah. But if you don't have fear from Allah, so it will be easy for you to do every bad thing. This is to respect sha-a'ir.
What Allah make for us, it is duty. We are saying this because Allah Azza wa Jalla even for this thing, He said, ordering to respect and to praise this. How for Prophet (sas)? We cannot measure between this but it just to show you how it is. Allah He happy with people who are praising His Prophet, Habibullah, His lover. He's coming from love. You must love him. Allah love somebody, we must love him. It is obligatory to love him. People, there is small-mind people who are saying "Don't be too much praise Prophet or to love Prophet, you will be wrong and you will be make shirk." This is people, they have only
very small mind. But Allah Azza wa Jalla, He is generous. He said when you are loving Prophet (sas), He's happy, not angry. And He gives for us.
Thank you for all of you. You are coming here for praising Prophet (sas). And He will reward you and He will give inshaAllah every happiness, every good thing you like and you ask for it because Allah, He's generous, He's not like us. If we have something, somebody ask something, we give little for this and we're looking maybe another one, he will come and he will not find anything, So we'll make it sharing between but Allah Azza wa Jalla He don't have any problem with this. Whole universe for Him and our mind not cannot put it in limit. He give from each, from one to ten, hundred, thousand more. And we cannot ask Him "Why You are doing this?" Because He is generous and He's giving. So thank you for you. You are coming this day and you'll be inshaAllah doing order of Allah, to praise His Prophet Muhammad (sas) and to be making this good custom every year. Mawlana He is also between us, but when he's bodily, he was going and making celebrating. We celebrate this. Everywhere in the world he was liking to celebrate. But the end of 10 years or 12 years he was celebrating here and people accustomed to be here. And you are coming again and coming only for sake of Allah, Allah will reward you from His endless treasure.
There is poem saying you praise your Prophet (sas) as much you can praise. Only don't say what Christians, they say about their Prophet. They said wrong. Because Allah only one. Prophet, His lover Muhammad (sas) last Prophet (sas), no sharik (partner). This is for these idiot people who saying, mixing everything and they will be regret in akhira when seeing people getting all this good gift from Allah and they have nothing because they are stubborn and not respecting Prophet (sas). The most important thing for Muslims to praise their Prophet (sas). The most important thing.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
231.THE BARAKA OF THE PROPHET (SAW) Wednesday, December 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 Rasulillah, dastoor Mashayikhina, madad ya Mawlana Shakyh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah
We live for the sake of our Prophet's (sas) barakah. With his help Muslims can do good things. All good deeds are done with the support of our Prophet (sas). Bad deeds belong to shaitan. All good deeds are from our Prophet (sas). If there is no support from the Prophet (sas), or if you don't ask for his help there is no blessing. Our Prophet 's (sas) help is spiritual. There is also the physical support. Physical support comes when we visit the holy hair of the Prophet (sas), last night. It is as if we visited our Prophet (sas), we took from his light, thanks to Allah.
There are so many proofs. Before our Prophet (sas), during the time of children of Israel, when they were going for a battle there was an. Angels used to carry it. When they would bring that Ark, they would win the battle. Why?
“wabaqiyatun mimma taraka alu musa wa alu haruna tahmiluhu al mala’ikatu” (2:248)
There were some relics left behind from Aaron (as) and Moses (as). Angels carried that Ark. Once they would bring it, nobody could stand against it. The same with our Prophet (sas). From him, there are some relics left - his footprints, his flag. So many holy relics. They would support Muslims. Khalid ibn Walid (ra) used to wear in his turban three pieces of the Prophet's (sas) hair. Nobody could defeat him.
When Muslims were in difficulty, Khalid ibn Walid would come, he would help, win and then set off for another battle. In two years' time, if you calculate, I guess he had 100.000 or 200.000 adversaries, he was victorious against all of them. After that, he went to Iran. From the Majusi each time, 200.000 soldiers. At least 2 million in total, against
such strong soldiers he won an overwhelming victory. He won that battle, with 30.000 of his soldiers. Then the Muslims fell into difficulty against the Byzantines, around Syria, Palestine. Sayyidina Abu Bakr passed away. Hz. Omar came, and took over the command. They did not display order at the beginning. After they defeated the Byzantines, they displayed it, because they struggled a lot. There were a lot of commanders, they couldn't handle this. But he (Ibn Walid) said "It is not from me. The hair of the Prophet (sas) on my turban can never fall to the ground. Defeated by none". With that belief Allah helped him and the Prophet (sas) did not embarrass him. He conquered East and West.
It is a great blessing, honor to visit the holy relics of the Prophet (sas). We did not see the Prophet (sas) but alhamdulillah, we saw his holy beard. It is a great gift, blessing. Thanks to Allah. May his blessings be upon us. We are saying for Prophet (sas); whole good thing, what happened after his becoming Prophet. All good thing coming from his baraka. What is good thing? What it is showing us, teaching us to know the Creator and to know right way and to believe in his message and to believe he's the last messenger of Allah. This is good thing.
Other thing, it is not good thing. What they do, what they say, it is not important. Because [to] not believe in Creator, it is rubbish. What they've done, everything without believing, it is only rubbish. No value. No value for this thing. Only value for what Prophet (sas) showing us and good thing happened for human being from Prophet (sas). Other thing, all from ego or from shaitan. It is no value for this.
Alhamdulillah, last night we visit Prophet's beard, one [hair of] beard from Prophet (sas). And it is big favour for everybody because from this all baraka coming from Prophet (sas). And it was like this before Prophet (sas). With Musa (as), there was Ark. Ark, it was coming when it will be for Prophet or for who have permission to be leader. When this Ark coming, when they are fighting, they was winning. So it is like this from before Prophet (sas). So Allah not giving this Ark for bad people. Only for good people Allah sent this. And Prophet (sas) also, what he has? There was after him, there's many like his flag, like his sword, like his many amanat (relics).
[If] there was fight when going to some place, they was winning. Even there was Khalid ibn Walid (ra). He was leader and he has in his turban three hairs of Prophet (sas). Nobody beat him. When after Prophet (sas) many Arabs, they were coming back to be non-believer, so Sayyidina
Abu Bakr was fighting them and sending many leaders to fight. Each leader, was difficult for him to fight. Khalid ibn Walid, he was finish one, coming to other. Coming from one to other.
After this finished, he went to Iran also. They was fire worshipper, non- believer. And he was [with] only 30,000 horsemen, he beat more 2 million people. Each time 200, 300 thousand, he was finishing them. After coming, not [be]coming tired, through 2 years, he was finishing all this. After coming to Damascus, Syria only, Byzantine. It was so difficult for Muslims also they fighting, fighting, cannot win and they asked for him. He come from Iran through desert, coming to this Byzantine time.
At that time Sayyidina Abu Bakr, he was pass away. Sayyidina Omar coming and Sayyidina Omar he take him from leader[ship]. But they didn't show this letter until he finished Byzantine. So he was saying "Only I have (pointing to turban). It is not from me". He was very humble and he was real believer. This is baraka of Prophet (sas), hair of Prophet (sas), all this victory. He said "I am nothing." So alhamdulillah, it is very important.
After 1,400 years or more we didn't see Prophet, but alhamdulillah, we see his beard. Alhamdulillah, big, big pleasure, big good thing inshaAllah for all of us. InshaAllah. We must be happy, alhamdulillah, Allah show us the good thing, not bad thing. We are not looking for artist or for other thing. If they are believers, ok. But if not believers, no value for them. Only benefit for people to have something for next life, not only this life. If for this life, it finishes and they will be losers. We must believe and inshaAllah Prophet (sas), he make shafa'a for us because we see his beard also, alhamdulillah.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
232.IF YOU LOVE ALLAH THEN FOLLOW ME (3:31) Thursday, December 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 Rasulillah, dastoor ya Mashayikhina, dastoor ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh 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 "Qul in kuntum tuhibbun Allah faittabiauni yuhbibkum Allah" (3:31) "If you love Allah follow me" says the Prophet (sas), Allah will love you and forgive your sins. When Allah loves you, when you repent, your sins are forgiven. To love Allah: to follow Allah's orders. To love Allah is not to rebel against His orders, it is to obey His orders. Our Prophet (sas) shows us the way. "Follow me, follow my way" says the Prophet (sas). If you follow that way, Allah loves you. What is the love of Allah? The love of Allah is the highest station. It is our biggest aim.
Allah's pleasment, Allah' love is our life purpose. It is not eating, drinking, sleeping. All creatures do that, they eat, drink, sleep. Animals eat, drink and sleep, but they don't harm others. When human beings do not follow Allah's orders they become lower than animals. If you follow Allah's orders, you reach the highest stations. You reach Allah's love. If not, you will reach Allah's wrath, anger. That is the worst thing. "I wish I would turn into earth" man says on Judgement Day. Because on the Day of Judgement all creatures wil be resurrected from the earth. All animals will be resurrected.
Allah Azza wa Jalla will judge them and order them to return to earth again. There are some animals, creatures, which will enter paradise. The rest will return to earth. Nothing. But human beings will go to paradise or hell. The ones, who are going to hell will say: "We wish we could turn into earth like these animals". This is because they didn't follow Allah's orders. If they followed Allah's orders they would have reached the highest station. "Mustafa is the mercy for the worlds", He says. He shows us the way as a mercy. He taught us what to do. All libraries are full of millions of books to show the way of Islam's Prophet (sas). Follow him (sas). If you follow him (sas), you'll have a beautiful
life. You’ll have a good life in this world. Whoever follows him, they are in peace. If you eat one bite from halal, it is better for you than eating a thousand bites from haram. It is tastier, nicer. If you follow His orders, you keep good relations with your wife at home, keep your eye and if you don't look outside, your wife is better than a thousand women. Everything has consequences.
There are permissible and non-permissible things. If you keep the Prophet's (sas) way you will be happy in this world. If you go for non- permissible things, you can never be happy and satisfied. Whatever you do, it is useless. There is no benefit only harm because all actions are recorded. "Repent" he says. If he repents, Allah forgives. If not, he has to suffer. We explained the Prophet's (sas) words on the occasion of the Mawlid. The Prophet (sas) says; "Follow me, Allah will love you". InshaAllah Allah makes us all from the ones, He (awj) loves.
Ayat al-karima saying, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim: "Qul in kuntum tuhibbun Allah faittabiauni yuhbibkum Allah" (3:31). This is ayat, Prophet (sas) saying "If you love Allah, you must follow me. If you follow me, Allah love you and He forgive you what you've done." If you are loving Allah, you must follow Prophet (sas), follow his teaching. Because if you say "I am loving Allah" and you're not following Prophet, not following what he said, you are hypocrite. Just by mouth you love Allah.
Allah, He knows everything. Not only like us, when somebody speak to you, praising you, you are happy. But he is inside maybe saying different thing. Allah knows the inside and outside. So you cannot cheat Allah. You must, if you love Allah really, you must follow Prophet (sas). You must love him and follow what he is saying because main aim, main target in our life to get love of Allah.
Everybody looking for something, but most of the people, they are not knowing what they are looking for. Just looking for something. They are missing something but not realizing what. And whole life they are running after this. And it is love of Allah, [for] Allah to love you. This is what our higher aim, higher target for us to reach this. To be Allah happy with you, loving you. When Allah loving you, Prophet (sas) of course he loves you also. And if he loves you, everything, it is perfect. In time of Prophet (sas), people they were sometimes in two days not eating anything. Maybe eating small, two or three dates. Sometimes maybe one week, no fire in kitchen. And they were not complaining. Nobody complaining. Why? Because love of Allah enough for them.
Love of Prophet enough for them. This Prophet (sas) teaching is the important thing. The important thing, to follow Prophet (sas) and what he is teaching us because he is teaching us happiness in dunya, before akhira also. How in dunya? In dunya you must be happy what you get. If Allah give you much, you thank Him. If little, not complain, just be patient and this small thing with baraka and bless of Allah enough for you to give you happiness. But who are doing wrong thing and eating from bad money, cheating people and they think they are clever, they are not clever. Because this is not enough for them. If they eat like thousand people, they cannot be happy. Not satisfied, no happiness.
When they are in house, if he is looking only for halal, his wife and Allah make this wife for him enough for him, and not to look outside for thousand, ten thousand. It is not enough for these people who are looking after haram. And this is punishment for them. The punishment, to be not happy. What they are doing, doing that, not happy. And happiness, to get love of Allah. This is Prophet (sas) saying, and Allah Jalla Jalaluhu, He saying in Quran. "Qul in kuntum tuhibbun Allah faittabiauni yuhbibkum Allah" (3:31) The most important thing. Allah makes all of us to be loved by Allah, by RasulAllah (sas).
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
233.BETTER AND BETTER Saturday, December 26, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastur, S. Abdullah Daghistani, S. Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. "Ala lillahi 'd-dinu 'l-khalis" (39:3) For Allah is the pure religion.
Religion must be pure for Allah. Allah created us. The human not only has a soul but also an ego. He (awj) created us to fight, struggle with the ego and shaitan. Get rid of the dirt and clean ourselves and to be a sincere, clean servant to Allah. When we achieve that, our station is higher than the angels. So, there is a wisdom in everyhting. Allah did not create anything without a purpose. Everything in this world has a wisdom.
Even the shaitan has a duty although he is not aware of it. His duty is to raise people's stations, because, when you don't obey him and do the opposite your station is raised. When you go against ego, you ride it. And by stepping on it, you rise. If it steps on you, you go down. Sincerity is important in Islam, in religion. Of course we do things willingly or unwillingly but slowly, day by day, we have to clean our ego. Day by day, we have to rise.
"He whose two days are equal, is a loser" says the Prophet (sas). Of course human beings, Allah knows, nobody knows how long we'll live. But once you reach an age, when you can use your brain, if you don't listen to your ego, and move forward towards Allah, not twice the distance of yesterday, but if you move forward even 1% it's still a gain and it means help is coming. It means you are trying. Allah helps you. Even that 1% is accepted by Allah. It is counted as 100%.
Slowly, not taking a step backward but moving forward you reach higher. But if you follow your ego and say, "I worshipped, prayed a lot today" and not worship the next day and do the opposite you will lose.
The duty of Tariqa is to purify people’s ego. To train their ego, to raise their stations. If you make a mistake, you have to repent. Repent everyday. We repent for our sins, that we commit intentionally or unintentionally. Most importantly, give everyone their rights. Allah's rights. Allah is Arhamu r-Rahimeen, He forgives, Azza wa Jalla. "Inna allaha yaghfiru adh-dhunuba jami’an" (39:53) Indeed Allah forgives all sins.
Allah forgives all sins. No problem with that. But He says: "I don't interfere with anyone's rights". Do not oppress anyone, give everyone's right, do not make anyone go astray. These are all a servant's rights. You will receive an accounting for all you do. A servant's right is different from Allah's Right. If he forgives you, it is ok. If not, then you have a problem. So that's why most important ego training is to treat people well.
Do not cheat people, both materially and spiritually. Show the right way to people. It is not good to show people what you don't know to be real, intentionally or unintentionally. If you do it without knowing, Allah forgives, if you do it intentionally, for you own benefit then you are not pure, you are not sincere. You mixed other things into that worship. Allah does not forgive you then. Allah wants the religion to be pure and sincere. Slowly inshaAllah on this way, as we said, if we move forward not 1 centimetre, even 1 millimetre, we will still be winning. InshaAllah, we don't stop or turn back. Audhu billahi min ash-shaitani rajim Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim: "Ala lillahi 'd-dinu 'l- khalis" (39:3)
This is verse from Quran. It says: "the religion, it must be pure for Allah", and nothing else. Don't mix anything with this pureness. How we can do this? It is life, we don't know how it will be, long or short. We don't know. It is Allah, He knows. So since we are obligatory until maybe 14, 13, 15 years, when become obligatory to do Allah order, we must be going better and better. Prophet (sas) saying "whose two days are same, equal, he is loser". He must be every day getting better. This is order of Prophet (sas). And he is saying the most right thing. It is not important to make every day to be double from last day. No. Even very small better, maybe 1%, it will be also acceptable by Allah because you are following order of Prophet (sas).
We are trying, because not easy. Allah create many things. It is not easy to make to be better and better. Many difficult things Allah create, and He create everything for wisdom. Nothing in this world He create you
can say, "Why Allah, He create this?" Many people, they are saying this, but they're ignorant people. And saying, not clever people. Everything Allah create, even shaitan, He create him for wisdom. People, they are cursing him and he is happy, "I am taking out these people to jahannam." But he don't know he's taking people to highest station also. When coming against him, not listening to him, their level going higher and higher.
Ego also. Allah create ego, every time coming against you. If you are following and your ego ride on you, you'll be the lowest one. If you ride on ego, you'll be higher. This, for everything. Allah, He didn't create anything without wisdom, without reason. There is many things, even now in these days, Allah create new things. People, they not knowing what is this, a new insect, new thing, eating tree. Making sickness, making illness. He still create and it is wisdom from Allah. We are not objecting. So every day we must be better and better. Even very small improve Allah accept like 100%. But don't go [reverse/backward]. Every day you must be better than other day until you become real pure one. Most help for people from Tariqa, they are helping and they are making murids to become better and better. And especially for everything, Allah forgive. Even small thing, when you are repenting and making tawba, astaghfirullah, every day, Allah, He forgives. And He is the most merciful.
So don't be hopeless. What you are doing, end of day make repenting and say astaghfirullah. Allah, He forgives everything. But what He not forgive? If you make wrong for people. Allah, He said "This not My Right, these, people's right." So we must be careful to not cheat anybody, to not oppress anybody, to not lie or to make wrong thing for people. If they are accepting, forgive you, it's ok. If not forgive you, Allah not forgive. He said it is "I'm not oppressor. These people, they must forgive you".
This is for everything material and spiritual. When you are going for people having you as holy man and you are saying something you are not real knowing or you are lying for them to benefit for yourself, this is not pureness. This is not pure religion. It is only religion for, to get benefit. This is what we are saying from beginning: "Ala lillahi 'd-dinu 'l-khalis" (39:3)
Must be only for Allah. Don't mix your desire, don't mix your what you want with this, especially for in religion. It is very important. And we must clear, clean ourselves from this. Every day slowly, slowly, we can
finish. Because we are following Tariqa, and tariqa make people to, if they are good intention, to finish from this illness and to be pure and to be good for other people also and for themselves.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
234.A GREAT BLESSING Saturday, December 26, 2015.
However much we thank Allah, still, it is nothing The holy relics of the Prophet (sas) have been brought to our island. They flew over the whole of Anatolia, thousands of people came to Istanbul [to view the relics]. Here also, people heard and came to show their respect for the Prophet (sas). Whoever comes here, surely takes from that blessing. Since Allah made them come all the way here, it is a great blessing for people.
The Prophet (sas) gave good tidings about this country, this island. Before Anatolia came to Islam, the armies of Islam came to this island. There are more than one thousand companions martyred here. These martyrs, undoubtedly, protect this island. They are helping. If somebody asks their help, undoubtedly, they help. So, no matter how hard it was, this place was conquered several times. Several times it was captured by non-Muslims, the Crusaders, this and that. But thanks to Allah, for the sake of these martyrs Islam still survives here.
Some people say, "we are Islam, we are not Islam", that's not important. Important thing is that the title deeds are resting here. Here, it is all Islam. With this blessing our Prophet (sas) favored us this night, for the sake of the month of Mawlid. Thanks to Allah. InshaAllah it will be a blessing. Do not fear anyone, do not shy away from anyone. Even if the whole world comes against you, if Allah does not want it, nothing happens. Allah is with us. His blessing is with us. We don't need non-believers' money or anything. When Allah gives, He (awj) gives. When Allah takes, He (awj) takes. Do not hesitate, be in the way of Allah. Love the Prophet (sas) of Allah. To love and respect the Prophet (sas) is our first duty. It is the biggest order of Allah Azza wa Jalla.
"Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Allaha fa-ittabiʿūnī yuḥbibkumu Allahu "(3:31)
If you love Allah, follow me " says our Prophet (sas). Allah loves you. Allah loves, who loves the Prophet (sas). If you don't love the Prophet (sas), doesn't matter if you memorise the whole Qur'an, if you memorise all the hadith. If you aren't respecting him, it is useless, both here and hereafter you will lose. So, inshaAllah now, we will visit our Prophet's (sas) holy relics. We say salams and salatu salam when we
pass in front of them. With Allah's permission that blessing comes upon us.
Rainfall is delayed this year on the island. InshaAllah with these relics, for his (sas) blessing, rain falls. Both of blessings and belief. Most important, belief in the hearts may blossom. Belief rains upon people. This country turns to Islam. Be Muslim and do not fear anyone, inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
235.THOSE WHO GROW IGNORANT AS THEY STUDY Monday, December 28, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastur, S. Abdullah Daghistani, S. Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Knowledge is a huge ocean, but the conclusion of knowledge is firstly fearing Allah. Hadrat Ali (RA) said the conclusion of knowledge is Makhafatullah, meaning fearing Allah. Fearing Allah and what is important is to do what Allah wants. The first order of Allah Almighty is to respect our Holy Prophet (SAW). Now there are lots who study everywhere. There are many who study Islamic knowledge, who go here and there, and study in universities. Their arrogance increases as they study and they become proud of themselves and conceited. Whereas it is useless as long as it does not benefit you in the hereafter or it does not benefit people. Let the first thing they learn be respect of our Holy Prophet (SAW) and their love of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Once they do that, nothing would harm them. If they forget about this and attempt a work, it would not benefit them either. This month, thank Allah, is the month of Mawlid. A lot of celebrations occurred everywhere this year for the Mawlid Sharif of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Tripoli is a beautiful city in Lebanon. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) loved that place. People there are Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat and they love tariqa. Now these people we are talking about pestered that place last year. It is the wisdom of Allah (JJ) that our ikhwan could not do anything last year and there was a lot of distress. This year Allah’s anger and wrath descended upon them, they were all arrested and are gone. This year the whole city was lit. Mawlids and good deeds were done for the sake of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Because of the presence of that respect the nation celebrated. When there is respect for our Holy Prophet (SAW), blessings descend and light descends. What is important is for people to place this in their minds. Those who do not put this in their minds are foolish. There is no intelligence in those people. Do not listen to those people and do not follow them. They would take you to ruin. Of course there are many rude expressions, you know. There are expressions that if you go after such and such, he would take you to the
worst place, the dirtiest place. Those people are exactly the same. Let us not dirty our mouths early in the morning, but people who do not respect our Holy Prophet (SAW) and who talk with disrespect about our Holy Prophet (SAW) are like that creature. The same, nothing else. May Allah protect from their evils. Because some ignorant people, not educated but people who grow ignorant as they study, give credit to them. Do not give them credit. That is why people who are to study Islamic knowledges should connect to a murshid first. Not a jamaat but a tariqa is what takes to the right path. A jamaat works for the world and has no connection to our Holy Prophet (SAW). May Allah grant us all to stay on the right way. May we not deviate from the right way Inshallah. May we stay steadfast.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
236.MANAGE ALONG Wednesday, December 30, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastur, S. Abdullah Daghistani, S. Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
We read a hadith yesterday, our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “Mudaratun nas sadaqa.” “To manage people,” meaning, “to show tolerance towards them is sadaqa.” Sadaqa is important because sadaqa both wards off troubles and extends life. And this is a kind of charity. There are charities other than giving money. It is a good thing for people to tolerate each other and get along well with each other. This is also a sadaqa so people do not immediately get into an argument, hurt each other’s hearts, and get into a fight. It encourages and teaches people to be tolerant, and this way people are more comfortable. If people go against everything, their whole life becomes a contradictory life, and they call those people contradictory people. However, people who manage slowly become tolerant of everything. Allah created this way, He did not create everybody in the same form. There are different types. We need to manage them and get along in this short life. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says the most beautiful things. This is also a beautiful hadith so that you become comfortable and get its reward. You get its reward as a sadaqa and you get protected from evils. May Allah grant us all to manage people. There are uncovered ones, covered ones, and ignorant ones in our society. We need to approach people slowly. If you go and suddenly approach people distant from religion, they can wholly become an enemy to you. However, it is better to approach people while managing them. This person is not covered but she prays. Alright, Inshallah she covers up in the future. He does not do anything, has no idea of religion, and knows two words. Do not ostracise him either acting like, “You’re a kafir. You’re finished.” Manage them and approach them gradually, nicely. They may also come to the way Inshallah.
Let us abide by these beautiful words of our Holy Prophet (SAW) Inshallah. Let us manage people. Let us look at our egos, ourselves first.
If our ego was left free, it could be much worse than theirs. So let us abide by this hadith, by the beautiful words of our Holy Prophet (SAW).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
237.SHAITAN’S NIGHT Thursday, December 31, 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.
If we do not fear Allah, we should fear hell. Tonight is Shaitan’s night. All devils have gone wild. Whatever opportunities there may be, Shaitan does not miss them and he gets people in all kinds of troubles. This night does not have a beauty or a specialty. They call it New Year. If people think, it is a night that has no benefit.
What is beneficial to Muslims is the night of Friday (the night connecting Thursday to Friday). The night of Friday is a holy night. Worship done in that night is acceptable worship. However, sins committed then are also considered more sinful compared to other days. We need to take this into consideration. People need to be careful of this. Some people have gotten used to celebrating at home since childhood because it is New Year. Those people cannot think. If they use their minds, they would not go astray anyway. Those who go astray are mindless people. As we said, celebrating because it is New Year at home has become a habit for some people. Let them at least not commit a sin while doing that! Then they will gradually also be freed from that. Why are we getting excited for nothing, why are we getting tired for nothing, getting prepared, and doing this and doing that for something that has no benefit? But in the end when it all passes, it is understood anyway that it has no benefit. It might have even been harmful for some people. It has harms in this world and in the hereafter. It becomes a distress in the hereafter because this is a rebellion against Allah (JJ). While saying one year and a new year, years belong to Allah (JJ) anyway. Time belongs to Allah (JJ). Allah
Azza wa Jalla created time for you to do good in it, not so you may commit sin, not so you may commit a sin in every opportunity. Tonight infidels, faithless people, and mindless people go wild. Tonight is a holy night, the night of Friday. So be careful accordingly. Inshallah, may it be a means for repentance and a guidance1 for these people. They say New Year, New Year. Every year comes anyway. A new one comes whether you like it or not. Some people are happy that a New Year has arrived. Who but Allah (JJ) knows what will befall you this year? Is this what you are happy for? You are happy for something you do not know. There is only one thing you know, and that is Allah (JJ) tells you to fear. “If you are not afraid of Me, be afraid of the fire.” Think about it and act accordingly. May Allah (JJ) give guidance to us all. May He keep us safe from Shaitan’s evils and from Shaitan’s traps.

aitan want, so will be easy to grow yourself and to be perfect human being. This is what Prophet (sas) and mashsha'ikh showing us. And you cannot do this by yourself. Maybe one from million, if they can do this by self but it is not common. Very rare. And they are, it is like nothing. But who are following mashsha'ikh and murshid, who [have] guidance, they are become good people. Like if you are in love with something, this love you can change it for real love, love of Allah, love of Prophet and mashsha'ikh. You can do this. It is not so difficult when you following mashsha'ikh. You can do this and you'll be happy forever. If you love something for this dunya, nothing in this world forever. The love forever [is] love for Allah and for Prophet (sas) and for mashsha'ikh. From this dunya don't love anything from material
things. Who your ego like, your desire like, it is just like dream. You can get everything here but after, nothing in your hand. But real love, love of Allah is real. It is whole time with you. We are training to make ourself to follow Allah and Prophet (saw). This is teaching of mashsha'ikh, not to make Tariqa, or Prophet, or Allah Azza wa Jalla to use them for your benefit. No.
If you do this, you'll be loser. It is very important because many people's shape, their shape it is very good from outside, but not touching their ego. Their desire still may be worse than before. This is very important and when sometimes we say to these people something, they are not accept. So after this we don't say anything. But we try to keep them away from people, to not make other people also to be loser. We isolate these people. So everybody must be careful for what they are doing.
Mawlana Sheikh, he was teaching the 'Lightness' way and it is [to be] inheritor for him to follow this way. Don't go out of way, not following. He never give any importance for dunya, only for akhira. We are in tariqa, we must control every thing from ourselves and to try to be in way of Prophet and way of mashsha'ikh, inshaAllah. Allah help us for bi hurmat Nabina Muhammad (saw) and baraka of Mawlana Sheikh inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
229.WE SENT YOU AS A MERCY FOR WHOLE CREATION (21:107)
Monday, December 21, 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 Mashaykhina, 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 rRahmani r-Rahim. "wama arsalnaka illa rahmatan l il-alameen" (21:107) Our Prophet is the prophet of mercy, the prophet of compassion. The religion of Islam is the religion of mercy. Allah sent our Prophet as a mercy and blessing to people. The birthday of the prophet (saw) is approaching. Mawlid to be more accurate. Mercy on that day of Mawlid. You ask why people care about it so much. It is a mercy to remove things that are harmful to people. It is a mercy to stop those who oppress people, to oppose them, to stop their oppression. It is big mercy towards people.
Some people ask why there is jihad. Jihad is because if you don't stop those people, you won't have shown mercy to normal people. Mankind is weak. A bandit with a gun in his hands will oppress everyone. To remove that oppression is a big mercy towards people. People are oppressors. They are oppressors both to themselves and to others and to remove that oppression is also a big compassion, a big mercy. Our Prophet is a most merciful person.
Since his birth, he would think about his nation saying "My ummah." All he wanted and thought about was for his ummah to be saved from the fire of hell and reach Allah's favours and Paradise. He asked intercession from Allah Azza wa Jalla for this. But of course, things we see people doing today in the name of Islam have nothing to do with Islam. They are causing oppression. Not compassion, but direct oppression. Our Prophet doesn't accept and is not pleased with such
things. Allah Azza wa Jalla said "We sent you as mercy to the universes".
"Wama arsalnaka illa rahmatan lil-'alameen" (21:107).
It is the truth. The most compassionate person is our Prophet. There would remain no kafir, if he had wanted. If he had asked just once from Allah Azza wa Jalla, all of them would have perished and gone. Just as Nuh alaihi salam made a prayer and the whole world went under water; all the kafirs were drowned. Our Prophet could do even worse because he is Sayyid al- Mursalin, Sayyid (Master) of the Prophets. Allah never rejects his prayers, but he never wanted pain for anyone. He asked for guidance for everyone. And that is, Allah does what He wants. You can't have whoever you want guided. That is another wisdom. Our Prophet still asked for intercession and prayed to Allah asking for guidance for his ummah. How lucky we are to be from his ummah.
Allah Azza wa Jalla saying in Quran, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim: "wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan li l-alamin" (21:107). Our Prophet Muhammad (sas) he is the most merciful prophet. And he is, Allah sent him, mercy for whole creation. This is ayah: "wa ma arsalnaka rahmatan li l-alamin". And he was all time asking forgiveness and he asking for his ummah to be in Right Way. Whole time, what he think all time, thinking about good thing, about mercy for ummah and bless for ummah. Allah, He send him, he was when fighting against bad people, even that time also he was fighting with nobility and not to hurt any children, any women, any old people, [those] who are not fighting, he is not fighting with them.
These non-believer people, enemy of Islam, they are showing Islam as horrible. Violence religion. No. Even when fighting with bad people, this [is] mercy for people, because small group from people they are oppressing other people and make them to go out of Right Way and not let them to follow Way of Allah. So when Prophet (sas) free them and they coming to Right Way and way of blessed, it is big favour for them. Because other people only following their ego and fighting to make pleasure for their ego. But Prophet (sas) cleaning this dirtiness from Earth and it is mercy for other people.
To get rid of oppressor people, bad people, it is big mercy for people. Who are not knowing this they are just thinking and then shaitan told them "this is not good". No, not good to leave bad people to oppress for other people, to make them follow his bad idea, idea of non-believer. Prophet (sas) was fighting, he said, "I am fighting to say to people to get them to Right Way because people they are oppressor. Oppressor for other people and for themself also". When they be not-believer so the end of them it will be horrible. So it is mercy from Prophet (sas) to take them to Right Way. This is the wisdom of fighting against these bad people. Not only for pleasure, no.
Prophet (sas) saying every time, "as-sulhu khair". Peace it is the best, but when it is necessary there is fight also. But fight, not like these people you are seeing. These people they are especially make to show Islam horrible. Many since the beginning fo Islam there's like these people, many of them come. But it is not long, not staying long, but every time making, this is fitna. Prophet (sas) he not accept to kill any children, any women, any old people or not-fighting people. Only fighting with bad people.
This is His Mercy, Allah, we are thanking Allah we're from his nation. Alhamdulillah. And it is a big favour, not following ego and following Prophet (sas). Allah keep us in his way, insha Allah.
Wa min Allahi taufiq, Al-Fatiha.
230.YOU MUST LOVE AND PRAISE HIM Tuesday, December 22, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastoor, Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh 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 man yuazzim sha-a'ir Allahi fa innaha min taqwal qulub" (22:32) Whoever respects the ordinances of Allah, this is surely from the piety of hearts.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says "whoever respects the ordinances", it means the duties of Hajj. One of them is sacrificing an animal, you have to respect those sacrifices, you have to praise them. That praising is a sign that the hearts are full of piety. The more you praise, the more you get benefit. We are saying this, Allah forbid of course there is no comparison to our Prophet (sas). Sha-a'ir is everything, that is created for our Prophet (sas). So, no matter how much you praise Him (sas) still it is not enough. What we do is nothing.
There are some people, who confuse others saying, "If you praise too much, it is a sin. Isn't it too much praising?" You are thinking with your small brain. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not give according to your thinking. Allah praised Him (sas), saying; "My Prophet, Habibi". Habibi means ‘Beloved’. It means we have to love him (sas). Love our Prophet (sas), who was named as ‘the Beloved’ by Allah. The more you love him (sas), the more you benefit, the more you reach higher stations, the more you are rewarded and the closer you get to Allah.
May Allah bless you all. You came all the way to praise the Prophet (sas) for Mawlid-an Nabi, you showed all this respect. Allah won't send you back empty handed. Gifts, barakah, mercy, graces, peace, Allah will give you the best of everything. By praising the Prophet (sas) if you give one, He (awj) gives you ten, hundreds, thousands. Allah Azza wa Jalla is not like us. If we are giving something we say; "If this finishes,
nothing will be left for the next person, so lets give him a little, give the other one a little". Bur Allah Azza wa Jalla is not like this. Allah's treasures are endless. Allah's dominion is unimaginable. Allah gives. Do not have any doubt. Praise our Prophet (sas). I think it was Imam al Busiri who said; "Praise him (sas), except don't say what the Christians say for their prophet (as)." You can say anything except that. They said he (as) was God. It is not true. Our Prophet (sas) is much higher than him (as) but he (sas) is not like as they say. Allah is One, the Prophet (sas) is His Beloved, Messenger, and our intercessor and our noor (light). Prophet (sas) is the light of this world. The ones who confuse people they receive nothing. If they cause people to go astray their sins are doubled, their sins are multiplied. They get less grace and fewer blessings, they lose their light and they get dark. May Allah protect us. Not only this Mawlid day, InshaAllah the whole month may be blessed.
Allah Azza wa Jalla, He said in Quran: "Wa man yuazzim sha-a'ir Allahi fa innaha min taqwal qulub" (22:32) This what meaning? This is for Hajj; there is some kind of thing to do and this is called, each one, 'sha-a'ir'. You must praise it, you must make it high, you must respect it. Because when you respect this, it is from belief and to be fear of Allah in your heart. And it is the fear of Allah that it must be in real believer. Some people, they said, "Why we must fear from Allah?" Of course, if you fear from Allah, nobody can make you to fear. But if you don't fear from Allah and to be look what he is happy, what he is not happy, so you will fear from everybody. This is punishment.
When you fear from Allah, you'll be good human being because you must be ashamed from Allah if you believe, you will be in front of Him and you will be asked and you will be ashamed. This is what is fear from Allah, to be ashamed from Allah. You cannot do bad thing and be happy in front of Allah. But if you don't have fear from Allah, so it will be easy for you to do every bad thing. This is to respect sha-a'ir.
What Allah make for us, it is duty. We are saying this because Allah Azza wa Jalla even for this thing, He said, ordering to respect and to praise this. How for Prophet (sas)? We cannot measure between this but it just to show you how it is. Allah He happy with people who are praising His Prophet, Habibullah, His lover. He's coming from love. You must love him. Allah love somebody, we must love him. It is obligatory to love him. People, there is small-mind people who are saying "Don't be too much praise Prophet or to love Prophet, you will be wrong and you will be make shirk." This is people, they have only
very small mind. But Allah Azza wa Jalla, He is generous. He said when you are loving Prophet (sas), He's happy, not angry. And He gives for us.
Thank you for all of you. You are coming here for praising Prophet (sas). And He will reward you and He will give inshaAllah every happiness, every good thing you like and you ask for it because Allah, He's generous, He's not like us. If we have something, somebody ask something, we give little for this and we're looking maybe another one, he will come and he will not find anything, So we'll make it sharing between but Allah Azza wa Jalla He don't have any problem with this. Whole universe for Him and our mind not cannot put it in limit. He give from each, from one to ten, hundred, thousand more. And we cannot ask Him "Why You are doing this?" Because He is generous and He's giving. So thank you for you. You are coming this day and you'll be inshaAllah doing order of Allah, to praise His Prophet Muhammad (sas) and to be making this good custom every year. Mawlana He is also between us, but when he's bodily, he was going and making celebrating. We celebrate this. Everywhere in the world he was liking to celebrate. But the end of 10 years or 12 years he was celebrating here and people accustomed to be here. And you are coming again and coming only for sake of Allah, Allah will reward you from His endless treasure.
There is poem saying you praise your Prophet (sas) as much you can praise. Only don't say what Christians, they say about their Prophet. They said wrong. Because Allah only one. Prophet, His lover Muhammad (sas) last Prophet (sas), no sharik (partner). This is for these idiot people who saying, mixing everything and they will be regret in akhira when seeing people getting all this good gift from Allah and they have nothing because they are stubborn and not respecting Prophet (sas). The most important thing for Muslims to praise their Prophet (sas). The most important thing.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
231.THE BARAKA OF THE PROPHET (SAW) Wednesday, December 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 Rasulillah, dastoor Mashayikhina, madad ya Mawlana Shakyh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah
We live for the sake of our Prophet's (sas) barakah. With his help Muslims can do good things. All good deeds are done with the support of our Prophet (sas). Bad deeds belong to shaitan. All good deeds are from our Prophet (sas). If there is no support from the Prophet (sas), or if you don't ask for his help there is no blessing. Our Prophet 's (sas) help is spiritual. There is also the physical support. Physical support comes when we visit the holy hair of the Prophet (sas), last night. It is as if we visited our Prophet (sas), we took from his light, thanks to Allah.
There are so many proofs. Before our Prophet (sas), during the time of children of Israel, when they were going for a battle there was an. Angels used to carry it. When they would bring that Ark, they would win the battle. Why?
“wabaqiyatun mimma taraka alu musa wa alu haruna tahmiluhu al mala’ikatu” (2:248)
There were some relics left behind from Aaron (as) and Moses (as). Angels carried that Ark. Once they would bring it, nobody could stand against it. The same with our Prophet (sas). From him, there are some relics left - his footprints, his flag. So many holy relics. They would support Muslims. Khalid ibn Walid (ra) used to wear in his turban three pieces of the Prophet's (sas) hair. Nobody could defeat him.
When Muslims were in difficulty, Khalid ibn Walid would come, he would help, win and then set off for another battle. In two years' time, if you calculate, I guess he had 100.000 or 200.000 adversaries, he was victorious against all of them. After that, he went to Iran. From the Majusi each time, 200.000 soldiers. At least 2 million in total, against
such strong soldiers he won an overwhelming victory. He won that battle, with 30.000 of his soldiers. Then the Muslims fell into difficulty against the Byzantines, around Syria, Palestine. Sayyidina Abu Bakr passed away. Hz. Omar came, and took over the command. They did not display order at the beginning. After they defeated the Byzantines, they displayed it, because they struggled a lot. There were a lot of commanders, they couldn't handle this. But he (Ibn Walid) said "It is not from me. The hair of the Prophet (sas) on my turban can never fall to the ground. Defeated by none". With that belief Allah helped him and the Prophet (sas) did not embarrass him. He conquered East and West.
It is a great blessing, honor to visit the holy relics of the Prophet (sas). We did not see the Prophet (sas) but alhamdulillah, we saw his holy beard. It is a great gift, blessing. Thanks to Allah. May his blessings be upon us. We are saying for Prophet (sas); whole good thing, what happened after his becoming Prophet. All good thing coming from his baraka. What is good thing? What it is showing us, teaching us to know the Creator and to know right way and to believe in his message and to believe he's the last messenger of Allah. This is good thing.
Other thing, it is not good thing. What they do, what they say, it is not important. Because [to] not believe in Creator, it is rubbish. What they've done, everything without believing, it is only rubbish. No value. No value for this thing. Only value for what Prophet (sas) showing us and good thing happened for human being from Prophet (sas). Other thing, all from ego or from shaitan. It is no value for this.
Alhamdulillah, last night we visit Prophet's beard, one [hair of] beard from Prophet (sas). And it is big favour for everybody because from this all baraka coming from Prophet (sas). And it was like this before Prophet (sas). With Musa (as), there was Ark. Ark, it was coming when it will be for Prophet or for who have permission to be leader. When this Ark coming, when they are fighting, they was winning. So it is like this from before Prophet (sas). So Allah not giving this Ark for bad people. Only for good people Allah sent this. And Prophet (sas) also, what he has? There was after him, there's many like his flag, like his sword, like his many amanat (relics).
[If] there was fight when going to some place, they was winning. Even there was Khalid ibn Walid (ra). He was leader and he has in his turban three hairs of Prophet (sas). Nobody beat him. When after Prophet (sas) many Arabs, they were coming back to be non-believer, so Sayyidina
Abu Bakr was fighting them and sending many leaders to fight. Each leader, was difficult for him to fight. Khalid ibn Walid, he was finish one, coming to other. Coming from one to other.
After this finished, he went to Iran also. They was fire worshipper, non- believer. And he was [with] only 30,000 horsemen, he beat more 2 million people. Each time 200, 300 thousand, he was finishing them. After coming, not [be]coming tired, through 2 years, he was finishing all this. After coming to Damascus, Syria only, Byzantine. It was so difficult for Muslims also they fighting, fighting, cannot win and they asked for him. He come from Iran through desert, coming to this Byzantine time.
At that time Sayyidina Abu Bakr, he was pass away. Sayyidina Omar coming and Sayyidina Omar he take him from leader[ship]. But they didn't show this letter until he finished Byzantine. So he was saying "Only I have (pointing to turban). It is not from me". He was very humble and he was real believer. This is baraka of Prophet (sas), hair of Prophet (sas), all this victory. He said "I am nothing." So alhamdulillah, it is very important.
After 1,400 years or more we didn't see Prophet, but alhamdulillah, we see his beard. Alhamdulillah, big, big pleasure, big good thing inshaAllah for all of us. InshaAllah. We must be happy, alhamdulillah, Allah show us the good thing, not bad thing. We are not looking for artist or for other thing. If they are believers, ok. But if not believers, no value for them. Only benefit for people to have something for next life, not only this life. If for this life, it finishes and they will be losers. We must believe and inshaAllah Prophet (sas), he make shafa'a for us because we see his beard also, alhamdulillah.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
232.IF YOU LOVE ALLAH THEN FOLLOW ME (3:31) Thursday, December 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 Rasulillah, dastoor ya Mashayikhina, dastoor ya Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, Shaykh 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 "Qul in kuntum tuhibbun Allah faittabiauni yuhbibkum Allah" (3:31) "If you love Allah follow me" says the Prophet (sas), Allah will love you and forgive your sins. When Allah loves you, when you repent, your sins are forgiven. To love Allah: to follow Allah's orders. To love Allah is not to rebel against His orders, it is to obey His orders. Our Prophet (sas) shows us the way. "Follow me, follow my way" says the Prophet (sas). If you follow that way, Allah loves you. What is the love of Allah? The love of Allah is the highest station. It is our biggest aim.
Allah's pleasment, Allah' love is our life purpose. It is not eating, drinking, sleeping. All creatures do that, they eat, drink, sleep. Animals eat, drink and sleep, but they don't harm others. When human beings do not follow Allah's orders they become lower than animals. If you follow Allah's orders, you reach the highest stations. You reach Allah's love. If not, you will reach Allah's wrath, anger. That is the worst thing. "I wish I would turn into earth" man says on Judgement Day. Because on the Day of Judgement all creatures wil be resurrected from the earth. All animals will be resurrected.
Allah Azza wa Jalla will judge them and order them to return to earth again. There are some animals, creatures, which will enter paradise. The rest will return to earth. Nothing. But human beings will go to paradise or hell. The ones, who are going to hell will say: "We wish we could turn into earth like these animals". This is because they didn't follow Allah's orders. If they followed Allah's orders they would have reached the highest station. "Mustafa is the mercy for the worlds", He says. He shows us the way as a mercy. He taught us what to do. All libraries are full of millions of books to show the way of Islam's Prophet (sas). Follow him (sas). If you follow him (sas), you'll have a beautiful
life. You’ll have a good life in this world. Whoever follows him, they are in peace. If you eat one bite from halal, it is better for you than eating a thousand bites from haram. It is tastier, nicer. If you follow His orders, you keep good relations with your wife at home, keep your eye and if you don't look outside, your wife is better than a thousand women. Everything has consequences.
There are permissible and non-permissible things. If you keep the Prophet's (sas) way you will be happy in this world. If you go for non- permissible things, you can never be happy and satisfied. Whatever you do, it is useless. There is no benefit only harm because all actions are recorded. "Repent" he says. If he repents, Allah forgives. If not, he has to suffer. We explained the Prophet's (sas) words on the occasion of the Mawlid. The Prophet (sas) says; "Follow me, Allah will love you". InshaAllah Allah makes us all from the ones, He (awj) loves.
Ayat al-karima saying, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim: "Qul in kuntum tuhibbun Allah faittabiauni yuhbibkum Allah" (3:31). This is ayat, Prophet (sas) saying "If you love Allah, you must follow me. If you follow me, Allah love you and He forgive you what you've done." If you are loving Allah, you must follow Prophet (sas), follow his teaching. Because if you say "I am loving Allah" and you're not following Prophet, not following what he said, you are hypocrite. Just by mouth you love Allah.
Allah, He knows everything. Not only like us, when somebody speak to you, praising you, you are happy. But he is inside maybe saying different thing. Allah knows the inside and outside. So you cannot cheat Allah. You must, if you love Allah really, you must follow Prophet (sas). You must love him and follow what he is saying because main aim, main target in our life to get love of Allah.
Everybody looking for something, but most of the people, they are not knowing what they are looking for. Just looking for something. They are missing something but not realizing what. And whole life they are running after this. And it is love of Allah, [for] Allah to love you. This is what our higher aim, higher target for us to reach this. To be Allah happy with you, loving you. When Allah loving you, Prophet (sas) of course he loves you also. And if he loves you, everything, it is perfect. In time of Prophet (sas), people they were sometimes in two days not eating anything. Maybe eating small, two or three dates. Sometimes maybe one week, no fire in kitchen. And they were not complaining. Nobody complaining. Why? Because love of Allah enough for them.
Love of Prophet enough for them. This Prophet (sas) teaching is the important thing. The important thing, to follow Prophet (sas) and what he is teaching us because he is teaching us happiness in dunya, before akhira also. How in dunya? In dunya you must be happy what you get. If Allah give you much, you thank Him. If little, not complain, just be patient and this small thing with baraka and bless of Allah enough for you to give you happiness. But who are doing wrong thing and eating from bad money, cheating people and they think they are clever, they are not clever. Because this is not enough for them. If they eat like thousand people, they cannot be happy. Not satisfied, no happiness.
When they are in house, if he is looking only for halal, his wife and Allah make this wife for him enough for him, and not to look outside for thousand, ten thousand. It is not enough for these people who are looking after haram. And this is punishment for them. The punishment, to be not happy. What they are doing, doing that, not happy. And happiness, to get love of Allah. This is Prophet (sas) saying, and Allah Jalla Jalaluhu, He saying in Quran. "Qul in kuntum tuhibbun Allah faittabiauni yuhbibkum Allah" (3:31) The most important thing. Allah makes all of us to be loved by Allah, by RasulAllah (sas).
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
233.BETTER AND BETTER Saturday, December 26, 2015.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-akhirin. Madad ya RasulAllah, madad ya Sadati Ashabi Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastur, S. Abdullah Daghistani, S. Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. "Ala lillahi 'd-dinu 'l-khalis" (39:3) For Allah is the pure religion.
Religion must be pure for Allah. Allah created us. The human not only has a soul but also an ego. He (awj) created us to fight, struggle with the ego and shaitan. Get rid of the dirt and clean ourselves and to be a sincere, clean servant to Allah. When we achieve that, our station is higher than the angels. So, there is a wisdom in everyhting. Allah did not create anything without a purpose. Everything in this world has a wisdom.
Even the shaitan has a duty although he is not aware of it. His duty is to raise people's stations, because, when you don't obey him and do the opposite your station is raised. When you go against ego, you ride it. And by stepping on it, you rise. If it steps on you, you go down. Sincerity is important in Islam, in religion. Of course we do things willingly or unwillingly but slowly, day by day, we have to clean our ego. Day by day, we have to rise.
"He whose two days are equal, is a loser" says the Prophet (sas). Of course human beings, Allah knows, nobody knows how long we'll live. But once you reach an age, when you can use your brain, if you don't listen to your ego, and move forward towards Allah, not twice the distance of yesterday, but if you move forward even 1% it's still a gain and it means help is coming. It means you are trying. Allah helps you. Even that 1% is accepted by Allah. It is counted as 100%.
Slowly, not taking a step backward but moving forward you reach higher. But if you follow your ego and say, "I worshipped, prayed a lot today" and not worship the next day and do the opposite you will lose.
The duty of Tariqa is to purify people’s ego. To train their ego, to raise their stations. If you make a mistake, you have to repent. Repent everyday. We repent for our sins, that we commit intentionally or unintentionally. Most importantly, give everyone their rights. Allah's rights. Allah is Arhamu r-Rahimeen, He forgives, Azza wa Jalla. "Inna allaha yaghfiru adh-dhunuba jami’an" (39:53) Indeed Allah forgives all sins.
Allah forgives all sins. No problem with that. But He says: "I don't interfere with anyone's rights". Do not oppress anyone, give everyone's right, do not make anyone go astray. These are all a servant's rights. You will receive an accounting for all you do. A servant's right is different from Allah's Right. If he forgives you, it is ok. If not, then you have a problem. So that's why most important ego training is to treat people well.
Do not cheat people, both materially and spiritually. Show the right way to people. It is not good to show people what you don't know to be real, intentionally or unintentionally. If you do it without knowing, Allah forgives, if you do it intentionally, for you own benefit then you are not pure, you are not sincere. You mixed other things into that worship. Allah does not forgive you then. Allah wants the religion to be pure and sincere. Slowly inshaAllah on this way, as we said, if we move forward not 1 centimetre, even 1 millimetre, we will still be winning. InshaAllah, we don't stop or turn back. Audhu billahi min ash-shaitani rajim Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim: "Ala lillahi 'd-dinu 'l- khalis" (39:3)
This is verse from Quran. It says: "the religion, it must be pure for Allah", and nothing else. Don't mix anything with this pureness. How we can do this? It is life, we don't know how it will be, long or short. We don't know. It is Allah, He knows. So since we are obligatory until maybe 14, 13, 15 years, when become obligatory to do Allah order, we must be going better and better. Prophet (sas) saying "whose two days are same, equal, he is loser". He must be every day getting better. This is order of Prophet (sas). And he is saying the most right thing. It is not important to make every day to be double from last day. No. Even very small better, maybe 1%, it will be also acceptable by Allah because you are following order of Prophet (sas).
We are trying, because not easy. Allah create many things. It is not easy to make to be better and better. Many difficult things Allah create, and He create everything for wisdom. Nothing in this world He create you
can say, "Why Allah, He create this?" Many people, they are saying this, but they're ignorant people. And saying, not clever people. Everything Allah create, even shaitan, He create him for wisdom. People, they are cursing him and he is happy, "I am taking out these people to jahannam." But he don't know he's taking people to highest station also. When coming against him, not listening to him, their level going higher and higher.
Ego also. Allah create ego, every time coming against you. If you are following and your ego ride on you, you'll be the lowest one. If you ride on ego, you'll be higher. This, for everything. Allah, He didn't create anything without wisdom, without reason. There is many things, even now in these days, Allah create new things. People, they not knowing what is this, a new insect, new thing, eating tree. Making sickness, making illness. He still create and it is wisdom from Allah. We are not objecting. So every day we must be better and better. Even very small improve Allah accept like 100%. But don't go [reverse/backward]. Every day you must be better than other day until you become real pure one. Most help for people from Tariqa, they are helping and they are making murids to become better and better. And especially for everything, Allah forgive. Even small thing, when you are repenting and making tawba, astaghfirullah, every day, Allah, He forgives. And He is the most merciful.
So don't be hopeless. What you are doing, end of day make repenting and say astaghfirullah. Allah, He forgives everything. But what He not forgive? If you make wrong for people. Allah, He said "This not My Right, these, people's right." So we must be careful to not cheat anybody, to not oppress anybody, to not lie or to make wrong thing for people. If they are accepting, forgive you, it's ok. If not forgive you, Allah not forgive. He said it is "I'm not oppressor. These people, they must forgive you".
This is for everything material and spiritual. When you are going for people having you as holy man and you are saying something you are not real knowing or you are lying for them to benefit for yourself, this is not pureness. This is not pure religion. It is only religion for, to get benefit. This is what we are saying from beginning: "Ala lillahi 'd-dinu 'l-khalis" (39:3)
Must be only for Allah. Don't mix your desire, don't mix your what you want with this, especially for in religion. It is very important. And we must clear, clean ourselves from this. Every day slowly, slowly, we can
finish. Because we are following Tariqa, and tariqa make people to, if they are good intention, to finish from this illness and to be pure and to be good for other people also and for themselves.
Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
234.A GREAT BLESSING Saturday, December 26, 2015.
However much we thank Allah, still, it is nothing The holy relics of the Prophet (sas) have been brought to our island. They flew over the whole of Anatolia, thousands of people came to Istanbul [to view the relics]. Here also, people heard and came to show their respect for the Prophet (sas). Whoever comes here, surely takes from that blessing. Since Allah made them come all the way here, it is a great blessing for people.
The Prophet (sas) gave good tidings about this country, this island. Before Anatolia came to Islam, the armies of Islam came to this island. There are more than one thousand companions martyred here. These martyrs, undoubtedly, protect this island. They are helping. If somebody asks their help, undoubtedly, they help. So, no matter how hard it was, this place was conquered several times. Several times it was captured by non-Muslims, the Crusaders, this and that. But thanks to Allah, for the sake of these martyrs Islam still survives here.
Some people say, "we are Islam, we are not Islam", that's not important. Important thing is that the title deeds are resting here. Here, it is all Islam. With this blessing our Prophet (sas) favored us this night, for the sake of the month of Mawlid. Thanks to Allah. InshaAllah it will be a blessing. Do not fear anyone, do not shy away from anyone. Even if the whole world comes against you, if Allah does not want it, nothing happens. Allah is with us. His blessing is with us. We don't need non-believers' money or anything. When Allah gives, He (awj) gives. When Allah takes, He (awj) takes. Do not hesitate, be in the way of Allah. Love the Prophet (sas) of Allah. To love and respect the Prophet (sas) is our first duty. It is the biggest order of Allah Azza wa Jalla.
"Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Allaha fa-ittabiʿūnī yuḥbibkumu Allahu "(3:31)
If you love Allah, follow me " says our Prophet (sas). Allah loves you. Allah loves, who loves the Prophet (sas). If you don't love the Prophet (sas), doesn't matter if you memorise the whole Qur'an, if you memorise all the hadith. If you aren't respecting him, it is useless, both here and hereafter you will lose. So, inshaAllah now, we will visit our Prophet's (sas) holy relics. We say salams and salatu salam when we
pass in front of them. With Allah's permission that blessing comes upon us.
Rainfall is delayed this year on the island. InshaAllah with these relics, for his (sas) blessing, rain falls. Both of blessings and belief. Most important, belief in the hearts may blossom. Belief rains upon people. This country turns to Islam. Be Muslim and do not fear anyone, inshaAllah.
Wa min Allahi tawfiq, Al-Fatiha.
235.THOSE WHO GROW IGNORANT AS THEY STUDY Monday, December 28, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastur, S. Abdullah Daghistani, S. Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
Knowledge is a huge ocean, but the conclusion of knowledge is firstly fearing Allah. Hadrat Ali (RA) said the conclusion of knowledge is Makhafatullah, meaning fearing Allah. Fearing Allah and what is important is to do what Allah wants. The first order of Allah Almighty is to respect our Holy Prophet (SAW). Now there are lots who study everywhere. There are many who study Islamic knowledge, who go here and there, and study in universities. Their arrogance increases as they study and they become proud of themselves and conceited. Whereas it is useless as long as it does not benefit you in the hereafter or it does not benefit people. Let the first thing they learn be respect of our Holy Prophet (SAW) and their love of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Once they do that, nothing would harm them. If they forget about this and attempt a work, it would not benefit them either. This month, thank Allah, is the month of Mawlid. A lot of celebrations occurred everywhere this year for the Mawlid Sharif of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Tripoli is a beautiful city in Lebanon. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) loved that place. People there are Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat and they love tariqa. Now these people we are talking about pestered that place last year. It is the wisdom of Allah (JJ) that our ikhwan could not do anything last year and there was a lot of distress. This year Allah’s anger and wrath descended upon them, they were all arrested and are gone. This year the whole city was lit. Mawlids and good deeds were done for the sake of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Because of the presence of that respect the nation celebrated. When there is respect for our Holy Prophet (SAW), blessings descend and light descends. What is important is for people to place this in their minds. Those who do not put this in their minds are foolish. There is no intelligence in those people. Do not listen to those people and do not follow them. They would take you to ruin. Of course there are many rude expressions, you know. There are expressions that if you go after such and such, he would take you to the
worst place, the dirtiest place. Those people are exactly the same. Let us not dirty our mouths early in the morning, but people who do not respect our Holy Prophet (SAW) and who talk with disrespect about our Holy Prophet (SAW) are like that creature. The same, nothing else. May Allah protect from their evils. Because some ignorant people, not educated but people who grow ignorant as they study, give credit to them. Do not give them credit. That is why people who are to study Islamic knowledges should connect to a murshid first. Not a jamaat but a tariqa is what takes to the right path. A jamaat works for the world and has no connection to our Holy Prophet (SAW). May Allah grant us all to stay on the right way. May we not deviate from the right way Inshallah. May we stay steadfast.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
236.MANAGE ALONG Wednesday, December 30, 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 Rasulillah, madad ya Mashayikhina, dastur, S. Abdullah Daghistani, S. Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, madad. Tariqatuna as-sohbah, wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah.
We read a hadith yesterday, our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “Mudaratun nas sadaqa.” “To manage people,” meaning, “to show tolerance towards them is sadaqa.” Sadaqa is important because sadaqa both wards off troubles and extends life. And this is a kind of charity. There are charities other than giving money. It is a good thing for people to tolerate each other and get along well with each other. This is also a sadaqa so people do not immediately get into an argument, hurt each other’s hearts, and get into a fight. It encourages and teaches people to be tolerant, and this way people are more comfortable. If people go against everything, their whole life becomes a contradictory life, and they call those people contradictory people. However, people who manage slowly become tolerant of everything. Allah created this way, He did not create everybody in the same form. There are different types. We need to manage them and get along in this short life. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says the most beautiful things. This is also a beautiful hadith so that you become comfortable and get its reward. You get its reward as a sadaqa and you get protected from evils. May Allah grant us all to manage people. There are uncovered ones, covered ones, and ignorant ones in our society. We need to approach people slowly. If you go and suddenly approach people distant from religion, they can wholly become an enemy to you. However, it is better to approach people while managing them. This person is not covered but she prays. Alright, Inshallah she covers up in the future. He does not do anything, has no idea of religion, and knows two words. Do not ostracise him either acting like, “You’re a kafir. You’re finished.” Manage them and approach them gradually, nicely. They may also come to the way Inshallah.
Let us abide by these beautiful words of our Holy Prophet (SAW) Inshallah. Let us manage people. Let us look at our egos, ourselves first.
If our ego was left free, it could be much worse than theirs. So let us abide by this hadith, by the beautiful words of our Holy Prophet (SAW).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
237.SHAITAN’S NIGHT Thursday, December 31, 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.
If we do not fear Allah, we should fear hell. Tonight is Shaitan’s night. All devils have gone wild. Whatever opportunities there may be, Shaitan does not miss them and he gets people in all kinds of troubles. This night does not have a beauty or a specialty. They call it New Year. If people think, it is a night that has no benefit.
What is beneficial to Muslims is the night of Friday (the night connecting Thursday to Friday). The night of Friday is a holy night. Worship done in that night is acceptable worship. However, sins committed then are also considered more sinful compared to other days. We need to take this into consideration. People need to be careful of this. Some people have gotten used to celebrating at home since childhood because it is New Year. Those people cannot think. If they use their minds, they would not go astray anyway. Those who go astray are mindless people. As we said, celebrating because it is New Year at home has become a habit for some people. Let them at least not commit a sin while doing that! Then they will gradually also be freed from that. Why are we getting excited for nothing, why are we getting tired for nothing, getting prepared, and doing this and doing that for something that has no benefit? But in the end when it all passes, it is understood anyway that it has no benefit. It might have even been harmful for some people. It has harms in this world and in the hereafter. It becomes a distress in the hereafter because this is a rebellion against Allah (JJ). While saying one year and a new year, years belong to Allah (JJ) anyway. Time belongs to Allah (JJ). Allah
Azza wa Jalla created time for you to do good in it, not so you may commit sin, not so you may commit a sin in every opportunity. Tonight infidels, faithless people, and mindless people go wild. Tonight is a holy night, the night of Friday. So be careful accordingly. Inshallah, may it be a means for repentance and a guidance1 for these people. They say New Year, New Year. Every year comes anyway. A new one comes whether you like it or not. Some people are happy that a New Year has arrived. Who but Allah (JJ) knows what will befall you this year? Is this what you are happy for? You are happy for something you do not know. There is only one thing you know, and that is Allah (JJ) tells you to fear. “If you are not afraid of Me, be afraid of the fire.” Think about it and act accordingly. May Allah (JJ) give guidance to us all. May He keep us safe from Shaitan’s evils and from Shaitan’s traps.
