creases and you become that much more uneasy. Look at goodness, do good, and live with goodnes. At that time you will find good in the hereafter, you will find goodness Inshallah. May Allah (JJ) help our ego in the matter of doing good. Our ego is more leaning on evil. Let us not follow it Inshallah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

50.BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT Wednesday, February 17, 2016

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.

It is good to give benefit of the doubt, meaning to have wishful thoughts about people. It says to think like this and not to think badly about people. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says regarding how we should think about Allah: “Give benefit of the doubt when you are about to die, think Allah will be merciful towards you.”

Our Holy Prophet (SAW) is saying a beautiful thing. Everything he says is beautiful anyway. This is also an advice, he is giving us a hint such that no matter how sinful you are, do not lose hope, Allah would forgive everything. “Ana ‘ala husnu thanni ‘abdi,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. “I am as My servant thinks of me, I become as he thinks well of Me, and I do not embarass my servant.”

So always rejoice thinking that Allah will have mercy on you. Let us be happy that we are with Allah (JJ) and be relieved. Some sulk and sit. No, there is no need for sulking. Allah made us a servant for Himself and accepted us. We need to be releived with this and be happy. Rejoice that just as Allah (JJ) gave us blessings1 in this world, He will also give us Inshallah in the hereafter.

Some people come asking, crying and sniffling about what will happen with their sins. We are sinful after all. Will Allah look at your sins? Once you repent and give Allah the benefit of the doubt, Allah would forgive everything. There is no need to fear. This is a good thought so that Allah forgives us all with His mercy and places us in His paradise Inshallah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

51.TYRANTS WILL BE UPROOTED Thursday, February 18, 2016

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.

Authu Billahi Minash-shaytanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. َ¸ “Wala tarkanu ilallathina thalamu fatamassakumun nar.” (Sura Hud:113)

“Do not lean towards those who oppress. Otherwise the fire would touch you too.” “Faquti’a daabirul qawmallathina thalamu, wal hamdu Lillahi Rabbil ‘alameen.” (Sura An’am:45) “Thus the society that oppressed was uprooted. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” Allah Azza wa Jalla says not to be with the tyrants. If you are with them, you go to hell like them. Tyranny is not good, so do not stand with the tyrant. The tyrant’s harm would effect you too. His own end is not good either. “The tyrants will be uprooted,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. He says, “Wal hamdu Lillahi Rabbil ‘alameen.”

These days, the whole world of unbelief is openly attacking Muslims and Islam. Wherever there is a Muslim, they are attacking them and trying to get rid of them. Those tyrants who are with persecution are like them. In fact, they are even making people leave religion.

This Europe, America, and what not who think they are civilized are persecuting all over the world, wherever there is a Muslim. However, in the End Times only these two will remain: Islam and those who are not Islam. There will be a war in between, great wars, but in the end Inshallah Mahdi Alayhis Salam will appear and take care of all these tyrants. And in the hereafter they will go to hell for all the tyranny that they committed.

Be careful, do not let your heart lean towards them. Do not help them either so that you may be saved. Oppression is something Allah (JJ) does not like, it is a trait Allah does not like. Oppression is something Shaitan likes, something Shaitan teaches to people. May Allah (JJ) reverse their oppression on themselves. May He break the tyrant with the tyrant Inshallah.

Bihurmatil Fatiha.

52.FORGETTING Friday, February 19, 2016

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

This world is not the place of comfort, not the place of rest. The world is the place of trials, the place of troubles. Whatever there is that gives discomfort is in the world. The person can be as rich as he wants or as high as he wants.

The world is not our eternal place. Our eternal place is the hereafter. The wolrd is for trials. It is the wisdom of Allah that people act as if they will stay and live in the world forever, and they forget. “Insan” (the word for human) comes from “nisyan” (forgetfulness), so the basic meaning of insan means forgetting. If humans did not forget, they would not get along, they would burst and be gone.

That is why Allah Azza wa Jalla gives forgetfulness as a benefit to people so that torments or hardships of the past are forgotten and gone. Along with that, people forget that they are going to die. Then when the world is in a mess like at present, at that time they remember Allah’s existence, they remember the hereafter, and they say “Allah”.

When they are comfortable, people do not bring the thought of the hereafter and death most of the time. Most people never remember. They scream “Allah” when there is a disaster like war, assault, tribulation, or earthquake. That is to say people’s ego needs something to poke it a little for it to say “Allah”. We need to say “Allah” without it too, so that blessings are constant upon us and we are kept in safety Inshallah. As we said, Allah Azza wa Jalla pokes people once in a while so they do not forget.

May Allah (JJ) keep this country, the Ottomans, safe. This [land] is Ottoman. That is why all devils and heathens are attacking it. They are attacking all Muslims, but here the most. This place is the only head left. They are trying to finish it off too, but they will not be able to finish it. Allah willing they will be finished.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

53.PEOPLE OF STATES AND IMPOSTORS Friday, February 19, 2016

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

The way of Allah is open and clear. There can be no lies and no imposture on the way of Allah. People tell all kinds of lies, do all kinds of tricks and evils for the world, and still try to come out as right. This is Shaitan’s way. Allah’s way is clean, it does not trick anybody. Shaitan shows bad ways saying, “This is the right way.” Whereas people who go on that way know it is a bad way and go knowing they are doing wrong. In the end they reach hell. Allah Azza wa Jalla is showing the way. He says, “Believe in Allah, trust in Allah.” َ´ “Wa ‘alallahi falyatawakkal-il muminoon.” “Only upon Allah let the believers rely.” (Sura Ma’ida:11) The end of those who rely on Allah is good. A Muslim does not lie, a Muslim does not cheat anybody.

“Man ghash-shana falaysa minna.” “Whoever cheats us is not from us,” says our Holy Propher (SAW). He [a Muslim] shows it to people as is, he shows the good way. It is not alright to lie to people to bring them to guidance. Those who try to bring people to the right way by cheating have themselves been cheated. Shaitan has fooled them. The way is clear: say the truth that you know. Do not use the religion to benefit yourselves. Becasue then, as we said earlier, you will have gone on the way of Shaitan. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) has shown us the way. He has not said any of the things that these people say. However, these people are a little sick, crippled in the head. Because it is not easy to meet and talk with our Holy Prophet (SAW) and the awliya. The person who sees our Holy Prophet (SAW) even in a dream once has reached felicity. Like I said, people sometimes go too far. But if there is something wrong in the head, they are excused. Allah judges everybody according to their mind. He says,

“Itha akhatha ma awhab, asqata ma awjab.” Meaning, “If Allah takes the mind of a person, He does not question that person.” He does not question, yet that person is ghayri-mukallaf, not responsible. It is not alright to go after those kinds of people, because as we said they are people of states1. What we mean by peopleof states are the majzubs.

“Do not stay with majzubs for too long,” says Shaykh Mawlana (QS). Because they are out of their wits2 and are Allah’s majzubs. You cannot tell what they will do: they make a good dua or they make a bad dua. They do whichever one they stumble upon. That time you would be harmed. Therefore, the mashayikh3 say, “Stay away.” Stay away from such people. Of course, it is the wisdom of Allah that they roam amongst people. Some people do not follow the mashayikh, go after them, become their murid, and then cannot be patient. It is not easy. They say, “Sahib ahwal, la tatahammal lahul jibal.” Meaning, “Even mountains cannot bear those of states.”

We are saying this since there are two types: one are those of states and the other are the impostors. Impostors make up plenty of things to make people follow them. People are naive, they do not go next to people who show the way of Allah, but they go to these people. Plus they believe in them. That time, not the person who goes but that person will be questioned. Of course the others also get harmed because they are going after a useless person and do not listen to advice. As they like. There are millions of people in the world. You cannot hold everybody and tell them and forbid them. Even if you tell them, the person would say, “I am free,” and can go wherever they want.

May Allah keep us safe from these type of people, because as we said there are those who show the right way and those who show Shaitan’s way. It becomes useless when lie enters something. So even if the intention is good, things that are contrary to sharia4, Allah’s commands, and the Prophet’s (SAW) commands can come up further in the future.

Our tariqa is a tariqa that conforms to sharia, follows sharia, and is the essence of sharia. The Naqshbandi tariqa accepts the four mazhabs5. Now there is a new trend: they do not want the mazhabs either. They attempt unnecessary works saying, “We understand and we do.” There is an expression, what do they say? “There is no need to invent the gunpowder. It has been invented already.” The guys made it explode, [some] died, they got up, and in the end found something. Regardless, ten years would not be enough if you attempt to study the way of the mazhabs. If you study sharia you need 50 years. If you go ahead now and try to make what is prepared already, you would not be able to do anything. You can only make fitna6. And fitna has been cursed, because you would be boggling other people’s minds. There is no need at all for that.

These imams that Allah has shown us as a blessing have served for us, have served for Allah, and have served for the Ummat. They had no benefits to gain, and they had no material gain either because the imams had their own jobs. From their earnings they would reserve for their own livelihood, they would give to the poor and needy, and they would educate students. They would not take a piastre from the students who came, from the books they wrote, or from the lectures they gave. They would not look out for

material advantages. There were even times they ended contrary to the sultans, they went to jail, they sufferred torture, but they did not turn.

People of today, may Allah give them mind, make all kinds of decrees7. Are we to follow these ones? Just show them the money and they will give you a fatwa the way you want it. There, we see people who go on TV, say unacceptable things, and loudly scream that it is from the Koran. Why are these men going on TV? First and foremost, they go on for money. What we call popularity means money anyway. They sell their religion, they sell everything to turn popularity into money.

As we said, our tariqa is connected to sharia and the mazhabs. There were lots of true mazhabs in the past, but it was confusing when there were so many. Then everybody agreed on the four mazhabs. Muslims need to follow one of these four mazhabs. There is a mazhab that fits each country.

The Hanafi mazhab is more amongst Turks, the Shafii amongst Arabs, the Hanbali and Maliki amongst Africans. People who want can follow a mazhab. A person can mimic another mazhab when in a tough bind but if in a tough bind. So a person cannot say according to one’s sweet will, “Now let me do the four mazhabs from morning to evening.” You need to follow one of them.

This is what our tariqa says. These are the things it teaches. Outside of this, there are no such things as, “I flew, I landed, I got up, I went, and I came.” This is tariqa. Do not pay attention to those who say otherwise. As we said, one of either is a person of states and you should not follow that person. The other one could be an impostor and you should not follow that person either. Nothing else.

May Allah keep us all safe and not allow us to follow our ego for a twopenny world. Let not the world swallow you. Be careful! You cannot own the world. The world would swallow you, your ego would swallow you, and Shaitan would swallow you. May Allah keep us safe from such people. Be vigilant. Let Muslims be vigilant. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

54. THE ARRIVAL OF MAHDI (AS) IS NEAR Friday, February 19, 2016

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.

Authu Billahi Minash-shaytanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim “Iqtarabtis sa’atu wanshaqqal qamar. Wa in yaraw ayatan yu’ridu wa yaqulu sihrun mustamir.”

“The Day of Resurrection has come near and the moon has split. If they see a miracle they turn it away and say it is continuous magic.” (Sura Qamar:1-2) Allah Azza wa Jalla states in the Koran Karim: “Judgment Day has come near and the moon has split.” Because our Holy Prophet (SAW) is the final prophet, when he said, “The Day of Judgment has come near,” the polytheists said, “If you are a prophet,” and wanted him to proove this. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) showed quite a lot of miracles. When in the end one of them pointed to the moon and said, “Can you split this in half?” our Holy Prophet (SAW) made a splitting in two motion with his cane and the moon appearing over the mountain of Abu Qubays split in two. However, they did not even accept this. They said, “The magic continues.” They saw our Holy Prophet (SAW) as, far from it (hasha), a magician.

So their minds could not comprehend this. Allah (JJ) sent them a prophet from amongst them. Instead of being proud of this, they were baffled as to how they could torture him, and did not accept him due to their arrogance. They did not accept our Holy Prophet (SAW) as a prophet. They said, “If such a thing is to happen, we are more deserving than him of that position.” They committed various kinds of torture, wildness, and rebellion against Allah (JJ), but in the end they all got their punishment and they were all gone. In the hereafter, they saw that our Master (SAW) is a prophet but it was useless. Allah Azza wa Jalla, our Master (SAW), and all Muslims had cursed them because they inflicted great pains and committed various kinds of torture. Meaning they did things that should not be done to a human.

Even then, our Holy Prophet (SAW) invited them till the end. Even before the Battle of Badr started, he told them, “I invite you to the true religion. Come and forget about this stubborness so you may reach happiness. You will be both honorable in this world and will have reached felicity in the hereafter.” But people oppress themselves. The biggest

enemy of people is their own ego. Their ego did them the greatest harm too. They went to hell for eternity.

People tody are the same way. You say, “The Day of Judgment is near ,” even those who pretend to be scholars say, “There is still time left.” This is due to weakness of faith. Even if the world burns, they say, “There is still much time till Judgment Day.” Everything our Holy Prophet (SAW) says is true. Prophets are chosen ones from amongst people but they do not make mistakes, they do not commit sin. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not allow them to knowingly or unknowingly commit a mistake. They are called innocent1. “Ismat”2 is a character of prophets. It does not exist in other people.

The highest people after prophets are companions3. And after them it is the awliya, the mashayikh. They can all have human traits, mistakes, because it is necessary that they are not prophets. Knowingly or unknowingly, there can be little imperfections, mistakes, or other things. If we say it does not exist, you will consider them prophets then. That does not work either. So certainly everybody has it but it depends on the level. Everybody has mistakes, defects, according to their level, but it is never so in our Holy Prophet (SAW). Everything he says is true, the truth. He said, “I am as close as two fingers to Resurrection Day.”

It has been almost 1,400 years ever since the Hejira. In this case, Allah knows the unseen, but it is near. If people look carefully, the affairs of the world show this too. When people die and they are placed in the grave, it means their Judgment Day has come. During Resurrection Day, when the horn is blown everybody will wake up. As for the world, Judgment Day has also gotten close for the world since the world has a lifespan too.

The Ummat4 has a lifetime. The nation with the longest lifetime is Hazrat Nuh Alayhis Salam’s. He lived close to 1,500 years: 1420 years. Our Holy Prophet’s (SAW) is almost the same till now. Therefore, the Day of Judgment is not far. All the things that are happening is evidence that the world is dividing in two: Disbelief or Islam. In the past there was the Communist and the Capitalist. That is not left anymore. Now on they are all the same.

“Al kufru millatun wahida.” Disbelief is one, not Budhist, not fire-worshipper, nor Zoroaster. People have started being curious about the thing called Zoroastrianism, as if it were a good thing. Or the shaman, polytheist, fire-worshipper, and idol-worshipper: they are all the same. There is no difference between them, they are all against Islam. The whole world is the same way now, the whole world is against Islam. Now, there is Islam and those who are non-Islam. Now on, the appearance of Mahdi Alayhis Salam is Inshallah near. Mahdi Alayhis Salam will not destroy this disbelief with numbers, but with Allah’s karamat, with miracles, in a way described as marvellous, with a separate science that

does not fit the laws of physics. This whole world of disbelief thought, “We will finish Islam and be saved.” No, surely our Holy Prophet’s (SAW) words are the truth. “The whole world will become Islam. My grandchild, a person from my lineage will appear,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). “His name, his father’s name, and his mother’s name are like mine,” he says. Just as the world is full of tyranny, rebellion, and a variety of filth, Mahdi (AS) will fill the world with justice, he will fill it with beauty, and get rid of all this filth.

Therefore, do not lose hope. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not like hoplesness. Trust in Allah and Allah’s victory will arrive Inshallah. Not only the unbelievers, but the hypocrites amongst us will also be cleaned. Especially, this mannerless group, what minx nobody knows, who claim to be Muslim and demolish mosques, destroy graveyards, and kill Muslims. People are saying, “We are not kafir5, we are Muslim.” [They are saying,]“You are kafirs!” They are the real kafirs, because only kafirs do what they do and nobody else. They will also be cleaned. All those fitnas6 will be put out, they will all be ruined and will go away. Allah willing. It has become such that a brother is the enemy of a brother. And amongst Muslims, those who claim to be educated are fooled more by this group than the uneducated. There is no reason to be fooled. There, we gave an example, we have been going with our ancestors on the path of the Prophet for 1,400 years and nothing like this ever appeared.

If those people were not on the right path, they would not have come to this day anyway. When people like you appeared, people went astray, and you attracted all trouble. When the awliya of Allah were disrespected, Allah (JJ) pulled his support. Syria, Sham, and Iraq: the Ahl-e Sunnat were winning. These Wahhabi infidels appeared, they digged out the graves of the Sahaba, they took out the holy bodies of the Sahaba and threw them here and there, and bombed mosques. Afterwards, here is trouble: Allah sent the most giaour man in the world upon you, and He is raining you with fire. You are sad, but it means Allah does not give things for no reason. “Bima kasabat aydikum,” He says. (Sura Shura:30) Meaning you are doing it to yourselves. These people had done the same way about 30 to 40 years ago. Allah did not make them successful, because victory does not reach you if you do not respect the awliya, the Prophet, and the Sahaba. This is not a matter of weapons and ammo. When you say, “Allah,” the one in front of you cannot stand. Allah helps people who ask for Allah’s help. We see everywhere that help reaches people who ask for madad7 from Hazrat Prophet (SAW) and who respect the Sahaba. But Allah rains fire on the heads of people who are mannerless and disrespectful.

However, their heads are like rock. Speaking of Wahhabis, their heads are like rock. Speaking of Salafis, they are the same way. No good ever comes from people who do not respect our Holy Prophet (SAW), the Sahaba, and the mashayikh. Stay away from those

people. Providentially, they are few in our country. May Allah also give them a mind. If he does not give them a mind, may He deplete them because they are harmful people.

May Allah make Mahdi Alayhis Salam appear as soon as possible so this world is cleaned. Of course, we are waiting for Allah’s command and praying to Allah. Because we cannot do anything, and rebellion does not work either. This situation is not a good situation. We are content with what Allah decrees but we need to make dua. Dua is worship too and waiting for salvation is worship as well. Therefore, we are also Inshallah making dua. May Allah also keep our country safe, and may He make Islam victorious over these infidels, these hypocrites, and these enemies of the Prophet.

55. FAMILY TIES IS OBLIGATORY Saturday, February 20, 2016

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.

Family ties1 is important. People do not know where to go when it is the weekend. It is a great virtue and a reason for rewards to take your family to visit your parents, if they are alive. It is good to pay them a visit.

It is good to know who the realtives and family are. It is important in Islam. It is good to look for where you come from and who you come from. Old people used to do this but they got rid of it after destroying this Empire.

What is your lineage? Where is it coming from, where is it going? It is good to pay attention and follow it. Especially now that some people come out and fabricate, “I am a sayyid, I am this, and I am that.” It is not appropriate to say that if you have no proof in your hand, even if you are truely so. We are all descendants of Adam Alayhis Salam. Just as the lineage of our Holy Prophet (SAW) comes clean and beautifully, as he is an example for us in everything, in the same way it is obligatory2 on us to know who our relatives, ancestors, grandparents, and uncles are and get close to them. So this Silat- urRahim is fard.

Works of people who do Sila-e Rahim also goes well and their sustenance3 increases. So this is not a friendship but a worship. There is also a sin for those who do not perform worship. “Those who cut family ties have cut ties with Me,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla.

These things have been forgotten. They made us forget them. This was done on purpose after the Ottomans. Scholars and good people are not left, they are all gone. This was done to cut our ties with the past. And pretty much they were able to do it, they were really successful. Yet again, Muslim people who follow Islam continue this beautiful custom because it is the order of Allah (JJ). 1. Silat-ur-Rahim 2. Fard 3. Riziq

It would have been gone long ago if it was not the order of Allah (JJ), and people would have become like soup. Where one came from and where one is heading would not become perceptible. Communism was the same way: they did not leave family and what

not, and they scattered it all over the place. However, even after so much pressure and so much oppression, people did not leave each other. They got to know each other more and they did not forget.

This is a beautiful order and a beautiful custom. Let us sustain it. You will gain a great reward for the sake of Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

56. LOVING ALLAH IS SALVATION Sunday, February 21, 2016

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.

Authu Billahi Minash-shaytanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. “Qul in kuntum tuhibbunAllaha fattabi’ooni yuhbibkum Allah.” (Aali Imran:31)

The verse in the Koran says: “If you love Allah, follow me so that Allah may love you.” You might love Allah (JJ), but what is important is for Allah to love you. Allah has shown the way, He showed us how to love. Follow our Holy Prophet (SAW), go in the way of our Holy Prophet (SAW), and Allah would love you.

Allah (JJ) loves whom He wants and does not love whom He wants. He carries people He loves to these beautiful ways anyway, and that person becomes beloved. To love Allah and Hadrat Prophet (SAW) is salvation and every kind of beauty. Allah loves whom He wants and does not love whom He wants. “Innallaha la yuhibbul kafirin; Innallaha la yuhibbuz zalimin; Innallaha la yuhibbul fasiqin.” Allah says He does not like infidels, tyrants, people who sin openly1, and those who do evil. They are all in the verses.

Some people say, “Allah created and He loves all.” No, Allah loves whom He wants and does not love whom He wants. You cannot interfere in Allah’s business. Therefore, you go in the way Allah (JJ) has shown so you may win Allah’s love. There is no worry, no bother, and no surrow at all for you once you win Allah’s love.

We need to know value: these are important and valuable things. Posessions, property, gold, silver, and jewels are not important. What is important is to win Allah’s love. After that Allah (JJ) will give you those in abundance anyway. Let us love Allah, Inshallah, and may Allah love us. Let us do what Allah says, and may our Prophet (SAW) love us Inshallah.

57. HADRAT IBRAHIM (AS) Monday, February 22, 2016

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

Allah Azza wa Jalla sent us prophets and told us to go on their way. In fact, we read a little ago, it says Ibrahim Alayhis Salam is a fine example for you. Ibrahim Alayhis Salam’s father left him, because he was not on the right way. He said he would not do anything opposing Allah, and that he would only pray for Allah to guide him.

Do not deviate from the way of Allah (JJ). Allah did not create you to follow someone else and deviate from the right path. You are deviating on your own. Ibrahim Alayhis Salam showed us a beautiful example in every way. Allah gave Ibrahim Alayhis Salam everything, glory be to Him. Everything he did was for Allah. When Allah Azza wa Jalla gave him Hadrat Ismail, it is the wisdom of Allah that He told him to leave him in Mecca. He left him without blinking an eye because Allah had ordered it like this. Then it became a place where people perform the Hajj. Allah Azza wa Jalla had made them build the thing that came from paradise called Baytul Ma’mur since the beginning anyway. But He lifted it when people’s sins increased. The kismet was for Ibrahim Alayhis Salam.

Allah (JJ) also gave Ibrahim Alayhis Salam blessings1 so people would see. There is baraka for people who are on Allah’s way. Baraka is a benediction2 of Allah, a secret of Allah. It is a secret unsolved by human beings. When there is baraka in the slightest thing, it is enough for everybody. When there is none, it can be as much as they want, it will not be enough for anybody, it will not be good for anybody.

Ibrahim Alayhis Salam has many merits. He is an Ulul Azm, great prophet: one of the patient and powerful prophets. He is also the grandparent of our Holy Prophet (SAW). May Allah give his baraka to all of us. He had a lot of baraka. It is good to ask for baraka Inshallah for these people. May both abundance and baraka come Inshallah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

58.SHAME IS FROM EMBARRASSMENT Tuesday, February 23, 2016

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “Do whatever you want if you are not ashamed!” Being ashamed is from embarrassment1, and embarrassment is from Islam. The shameless person is unembarrassed. So what we mean by shameless are those who do something bad and are not ashamed. Their faith2 is weak. There is nothing wrong in doing something normal and talking to people, and coming and going. Of course there is no need to be ashamed of everything. However, if some things, bad things are done, normal people, Muslims, and people who fear Allah (JJ) are ashamed. People who fear Allah are ashamed thinking how they did such a thing. However, people who are unashamed of Allah, who do not fear Allah, who do not fear the Prophet (SAW), and who are unashamed of people can do anything.

Shame is a good merit that befits a Muslim. It cannot be seen in those who are not Muslim. It is rarely seen. They say there is freedom: you can do anything. However, when freedom touches their interests, then they are punished, they give them their punishment. It is a good measure for Muslim people to give themselves their own punishment. Do not do evil so you are saved from shame. Those who are not ashamed of people here, in the world, will melt from shame when called to account in front of the Lord of Worlds in the hereafter.

That is why may Allah Azza wa Jalla not take our shame away. Becasue, “Al haya minal iman,” they say. Haya and shame are from iman. We will not do bad things and fall in a shameful situation Inshalah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

59.DO NOT LAMENT FOR THE WORLD Wednesday, February 24, 2016

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

The hadiths of our Holy Prophet (SAW) are very beautiful. We also read in a hadith yesterday, he says for the benefit of people: “Whoever laments for the world would get a thousand years close to hell, and whoever laments for the hereafter would get a thousand years farther from hell.”

It is useless to regret something that is over and done, for the world, because it has passed already. You can lament as much as you want, beat yourself as much as you want, or pull your hair as much as you want, nothing would happen anymore. On top of that, it is getting you closer to hell. It is making you burn in the world and getting you closer to hell in the hereafter. So the burning that you get inside for the world is due to your getting closer to hell!

There is nothing you can do anymore because you have not done a single good, you have not done something for the hereafter. But if you lament for it, it has a benefit because it distances you from the fire. And because you lamented for it, Allah (JJ) gives you its reward as if you have done it.

This is a beautiful advice from our Holy Prophet (SAW). As we said, many people lament and burn away because of something they have not done in the world, something that they have not attained, or something that happened. This is done uselessly, meaning it has no benefit. It has no benefit for their world or their hereafter.

However, what is essential is the other type. If they lament for not being able to pray, not being able to fast, not being able to do good, or not being able to go to Hajj, these have a benefit. May Allah take the world out of our hearts so that we may be comfortable in the world and come out profitable in the hereafter.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

60.OUR WAY: MAWLANA’S WAY Thursday, February 25, 2016.

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.

Thanks to Allah, we came together again with Sheikh Adnan. Sheikh Adnan is the beloved of Mawlana. MashaAllah. It isn't good to praise someone in front of him, but to tell the truth everybody admires his humbleness, his good manners MashaAllah. If somebody is offered to be an imam, actually it isn't acceptable if he runs to be an imam. He should be humble. It should be seen as a burden because he carries the whole burden of the community following him. So it isn't an easy thing. People are ignorant. They run after being burdened. But it is better if they don't carry the burden.

After Mawlana our people became two groups. Some can't bear being without Mawlana. Even though Mawlana is the same, their love is so strong we can excuse them. Hz. Bilal alHabashi never called the adhan after the Prophet (sas) left. He couldn't because of his love. He stayed in Damascus. He came from Damascus to visit Medina. Hz. Abu Bakr and the Companions requested and told him; "Call adhan once, we miss your beautiful voice. So that we remember the old days with the Prophet (sas)." He couldn't refuse them and called the adhan. "Ashadu an la ilaha illAllah wa ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah" - when he said it, he fainted. He couldn't continue. The people of Medina became all sad. He couldn't recite after that. They excused him. They didn't make him recite. There are some brothers, they are very rare, one of them is Sheikh Adnan. There are not many.

Some said "It is finished". These are few, thanks to Allah. Some said "We love Mawlana, we can't go on without him". They are from the munafiq. Thanks to Allah, the rest is majority, their love continues. They visit and show respect to Mawlana like they used to when he was alive. They get his blessings. He doesn't send anyone empty handed. So it goes on like this. But of course Mawlana's way continues not with us but with his blessings. Once he planted the seed it is growing. With Allah's permission this beautiful way will go on until the end of the world inshaAllah. May Allah not let us go astray. This is a big blessing. Like we said, keeping that way is with Mawlana's miracle. We keep that way with Mawlana's mercy. He keeps away the ones, whom he doesn't want. But like we said rarely there are some people they can't bear coming here. Mawlana visits them with Allah 's permission.

Our way; Mawlana's way. He showed us the best. And he was Masha'Allah mureed, Sheikh Adnan, since childhood. He is Masha'Allah very great but he is very humble. He is beloved for Mawlana. It is not good to praise one in front of people because he, Prophet (saws) he said 'Don't make this' but this is an exception for [such] a long time we didn't see him. We are happy with him. And he is really humble and accepting the truth and Haqq. And he is doing everything for this way of awliya'Allah, for way of Prophet (saws). And he is coming, not every time because he can't carry this memory here with Mawlana.

Because there is many type of mureed in Mawlana's mureeds around. There is one type, they real love Mawlana and [it is] very difficult for them to be here because they have strong love. It is - they are not so much [many] - rare, may five or ten people like this. Because not easy. For example: when Bilal al-Habashi after Prophet (saws) he wasn't mak[ing] adhan at all. From his love and his, he couldn't make adhan. He was in Damascus and he came to Medina. In Medina, there was Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (ra) and other sahaba. They were telling him "O Bilal, please make adhan to remember your nice voice and to remember Prophet (saws)" And he was beginning [to] make adhan. And when he arrived to 'Ash'hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah' - he was crying and he was, he fainted. Fainting. And couldn't from his... and all Medina people, they were crying and they weren't able to say anything to Bilal al-Habashi from his muhabba. And they was say - 'He has real excuse from his love for Prophet (saws) he couldn't." And there are some of mureeds like this, they cannot come, they cannot to see Mawlana very often or never come after his passing away.

And there is another kind there is, saying 'This finished' [and] they not come. And there is hypocrites. They try, they are imitating their love too much for Mawlana and they are not coming for this reason. But, the most, Alhamdulillah they are coming and respecting Mawlana and his place, and visiting, sitting near him and they are getting blessed from him. And he is happy with them because Mawlana he is not doing this only for him. He plant something, and he want it to grow. And it is growing Alhamdulillah. And it is never empty, Every time people, you cannot imagine when some people seeing people here they are surprised. 'How you are coming here? Even you don't know anything from Islam, and you are coming visiting." This is a miracle of awliya'Allah. They are alive, they are not dead, and they are giving from gift of Allah Azza wa Jalla. And who are visiting them, they get Insha'Allah what they want in dunya, in akhira also.

And Alhamdulillah it will be continued, not from our barakat, from barakat of Mawlana and Mashayikh. We are just like a picture, but it is continuing. Even if we put stone, it will be barakat for him. So, Alhamdulillah we are happy and it is a big favour for people who are coming, not making excuse by who are not real. Very few people, as we said, rare, they are have good, very strong love, [and] they cannot carry. And these people,

Mawlana visits them Alhamdulillah. Yes, Allah give them long life and give us from their barakat also.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al Fatiha

61.THOSE WHO DO NOT DESIRE POSITION (28:83) Friday, February 26, 2016.

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.

Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. "Yansuru llahi man yansuruh" (22:40) Allah Azza wa Jalla says: "Allah will surely support those who support Him." Make them victorious. We should be with Allah. Who isn't with Allah will get no benefit. Who is with Allah gets benefit from everything. Otherwise even if he is the strongest man in the world, if he isn't with Allah, no value, no benefit for him. Because everything belongs to Allah. Who doesn't understand that is mindless.

Allah tells us to come to His way. "Do not leave from My way. Don't look for the world. Don't desire the world." The one, who runs after the world, thinks that he gets benefit but he gets no benefit in this world either. Because Allah gives so that he gets wilder and will be worthy of more punishment in the hereafter. People learn these things slowly and move forward. That's why learning knowledge is an obligation. It is fard for every Muslim to acquire knowledge. Without knowing this he won't understand anything. He thinks he came for this world.

Even a Muslim should continue to learn. Asking knowledge until you die is fard. How will we do it? In each assembly of knowledge that you go to, you demand and ask for knowledge. When you go with that intention it means you are studying knowledge until you die. You need real knowledge. Real knowledge comes from our Prophet's (saw) way, by taking permission from him (saw). In the past there was permission, it reached to a sheikh, a scholar. From that companion, from that scholar, from this tabi'un - they came one after another. They appear in the tariqa also. Tariqa is also a door of knowledge. Your sheikh is your teacher. He teaches you. He teaches goodness, forbids badness. Because there are some types of knowledge which enlarge the ego, feeds the ego. Even if he is a sheikh, even if it is religious knowledge, if the teacher isn't sincere, his student's ego takes the shape of the teacher's ego. He makes them love the world, money, possessions. The worst is leadership, hubbu r-riyasat, makes you love leadership. "It is the worst" says our Prophet (saw). It is worse than silver and gold because people spend silver and gold to reach that level. In order to reach there he distributes silver and gold just to have a position, saying "I should be a leader." That is the worst one. Mashayikhs teach the opposite.

Bismillahi r Rahmani r-Rahim. "We grant it to those, who don't desire exaltedness in the earth." (28:83) Those people, don't desire exaltedness, they don't want to do corruption. They don't want to corrupt people; on the contrary they want to correct people. In the end there is benefit for pious people. Pious people are in the tariqa. They are people trained by the sheikh.

Tariqa is a beautiful thing. It teaches this. Tariqa are the things that our Prophet (saw) teaches. It doesn't teach what the ego wants. Ego is for being disciplined, not for feeding. Not as a good animal, when you feed the lamb, cow, camel, they get better as they grow. When you feed the ego, it turns into a bigger dragon. You can get rid of a snake when it is small but as it grows it becomes like a dragon. Finally it swallows you and takes you to hell. Ego is for being disciplined. Tariqa is the best place for training. InshaAllah tariqa is going to train people. Ego can't be trained otherwise. It can't be trained by feeding it. May Allah protect us from its harm inshaAllah.

We read surah - Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim "Yansuru llahi man yansuruh" (22:40) This is saying Allah He gives help and gives victory to who help Allah and make everything for Allah, Allah He help him. Not who are against Allah. With Allah, everything [is] easy [for] who are with Allah. Whom with Allah; everything for them it is easy. Even [if] in appearance some times there is difficulty, there is not good things you see, but in reality Allah helps these [ones] - who is with him. Who are against Allah, no benefit for him. Even he, if he is the strongest one, or he is the richest in the world, even whole world for him, it is not important. Because this world [is] only for Allah and He can give these people who are against him. They thought they had everything but they give them more and more to make them get punished in akhira - punishment more and more.

Muslim people also, they are forgetting this. They thought they will be loser. No! Don't be, don't think like this. You are with Allah, you don't [be] afraid. You are winner. Because the end [is] for who are with Allah. And we are learning. Muslims also they forget to learn what is benefit for them. And to learn and to know real knowledge, it is obligatory for everyone from childhood until grave. How, every time we will go to school, madrassa for learning this? No, just you be and you have intention to be learn more and more - still you are in this, you're making order of Allah. No end for knowledge. Knowledge it is oceans, so it is enough for everyone until grave everyone, we are learning. We are learning, don't say "I know everything." Who says "I know everything" he is ignorant because no end for knowledge. But we must learn. Learn to, how to manage our life - to be happy - here and hereafter.

The happiness who are, everybody looking for it [is] to follow and to be believe. If you are 100% believer nothing affect you. We see this in old time, in Prophet who are was suffering from people and they wasn't saying anything, because they have belief 100%. And this belief, we are learning not in school because this school, even religious school,

[those] who are teaching, they are not believers even. What they are teaching, not believing what they are teaching because they don't have connection with Prophet (saws). The real knowledge coming from tariqat, who are [that is] coming from Prophet (saws) and after sahaba, and after tabi'in and u
