Suhbah 2016: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (11/25)

rmission they 'll succeed in real life because they studied for Allāh, not for this world. They want to take blessings and start their lives with goodness. That is very important. Like we said we read until this age, we read the good things and the bad things. This system that they teach is of course the secular system, without belief in the Creator, in religion. But thanks to Allāh the religious affairs with its Qur’ān courses, the community doesn't leave the kids loose. They don't set them loose, they follow them around. Thanks to Allāh, they don't forget them.
So this is an important matter - remember Allāh before you start a new life. Everything is in His (awj) hand. We are at the beginning of our lives, 20-25 years old. If Allāh gives long life, you'll have 2-3 times more to live. Your parents took care of you here. There you'll take care of yourself. So don't forget Allāh when starting your life. Keep your prayers. If you aren't praying learn slowly - 2 rak‘ats, 4 rak‘ats everyday, as much as you can do. Start with 2 rak‘ats so you'll have a successful life.
During the time of Mawlānā, Mawlānā had a relative. He got his diploma and came. Mawlānā prayed for him. He is the number one brain surgeon in Turkey so far. He succeeded. There are many people like him, well known people. There are hundreds of people like him. In 1974, 1980's in London, there were people, who are now in some positions in the government. They all came and took Mawlānā's blessings. So, it isn't a shame or a bad thing to take blessings. Actually this is necessary. You shouldn't forget this. If you put fuel in this machine this machine will work, with Allāh's permission. If you don't it stays new, nothing happens but it won't go anywhere.
So don't forget Allāh. When you start a new life, in order to succeed, take the blessings of the holy people. Visit the tombs of the holy ones. Ask help from Allāh. Ask help from the Prophet (sas). Ask himmah from the holy ones, in shā’ Allāh. Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla He created us and make period for everything for our life. There is period - when newborn one, baby period, after - childhood, and after - young. After... Like this for everything there is period. And it is when finish one, beginning another one. And when you feel, you see, sometimes people when they are beginning for school, first school and elementary, elementary school. I still remember, my mother she took me by hand, put in school. I was shocked. This is new period for me. After I finish elementary school, also Mawlānā take me to madrasah. I was also, the second one. So it is every period you feel new life for you.
And nowadays people, they are teaching... People, they're sending children to school. In whole world there is place, teachers they are teaching what their ego, their ego likes, what shayṭān likes. And they are doing this like one of soldier of shayṭān. Very tough, they are doing this. And especially here in this island, these teachers' union, they have special union. It is completely nonbeliever, completely soldiers of shayṭān. They were fighting Mawlānā from beginning until end.
Until now they are fighting - "We don't want one lesson even for religion lesson." We want... They put their desire - I cannot speak here what they want to do and they put this dirty magazine or dirty things. They want to do this here. And they are teaching all the world. But I give example for teacher. And teaching it is very important because they affect students.
Since 100 years here we see it is like they forget about Islam everything. Other places also, many of them, some like this, some like that and they are teaching students until coming to university. Before there was secondary school after high school. Old time people in our country secondary or high school, they finish. Who can read, study, they continue, very few going to university. And it was enough for them. Everybody know about what he will do. When finish secondary or high school, they take job, they get married, they have children, looking for their business. But shayṭān, it is not enough for him this. He must control until they finish from university and to go to not know anything. Because university nowadays, it is like elementary school in Mawlānā time school. They were teaching better then, they were more knowledgeable from these university people now. They are going out from university and don't know anything. Even my son study 4 years here in engineer. He said "I learn more in 3 months in my work" he begin to work "I learn more than this." This is reality.
And even this, now people... Ok, they are reading. What we will do? We are just speaking in this hot day, drying our tongue. Nobody listen. All people, even government here in Turkey and other places, they want, we want this paper, diploma for university. If you don't have, you cannot go to work. You cannot work with us. So everybody, they are finding some way. And now university like grocery, every street you have one university. It is easy to get, but give money. Ok, this is we cannot do anything. But what is important after this, now they finish, one or two days they will finish, on Mondaythey will take diploma. They are going to their countries to begin a new life, to get work, to do something. They finish, no more study. What the most important here for these people to do? Most important thing to get du‘ā’, to remember Allāh, to visit holy places, holy people, to ask for prayer for themselves. "We take this, it is only one piece of paper. Make du‘ā’ we are beginning a new life - to succeed in our life."
They are coming, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. Many of them coming here. But many, many are
coming. But even these they are not 5% from university people. The 95% they are not thinking. "Oh we are ... al-ḥamdu liLlāh." - they don't say al-ḥamdu liLlāh. They are making party, they can drink, they can be happy, they forget important thing. The most important thing this, to not forget this. Because Allāh, when He want something, even you are... without doing anything, make you succeed. Everything in His hand. Mawlānā was... Many of successful people, we know hundred of them, they were taking du‘ā’ praying from Mawlānā and they succeed. And I remember one also. Very... He was relative for Mawlānā. He was brain surgeon. He just take his diploma and come. His mother, she bring him and said "This is I bring. First he take diploma, I bring for you to make du‘ā’." Al-ḥamdu liLlāh he was, now he is number one in Turkey. Very famous one.
This is one of them. But even there is hundred of people even in higher stations in Turkey. They have, they were in London meeting Mawlānā, visiting Mawlānā, taking du‘ā’. Many of them, they are ministers, prime ministers, what they are many of them. The most important here, not only for success, for dunya. When you come and ask barakah, du‘ā’ to succeed, it is more important for your other life also. So you're remembering it is not only for this dunyā. So Allāh help you and make you succeed here and hereafter, in shā’ Allāh.
We are asking Allāh Azza wa Jalla to change this, especially who are claiming they are teachers teaching bad things from this holy day Ramaḍān day. Because Mawlānā was suffering from these people. Only for these people he was every time, he's not happy with them. He remember and he see they are doing this, he is very unhappy and he was angry for them. In shā’ Allāh, Allāh change them, bring better people from them, in shā’ Allāh.

103.ONLY STRONG WITH ALLAH Sunday, June 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.
"Wa khuliqa l-insānu ḍa‘īfan" (4:28) said Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Man is created weak. If it is hot for a while, there is no harm. With 2-3 degrees increase people say that they are exhausted. "What is this heat?" they complain all the time. This 3-5 degrees. If Allāh (awj) increased it 10, 15 degrees no life, nobody will be left. Mankind doesn't acknowledge his weakness. He stands up against Allāh (awj).
Allāh gave us this world as a home. It is home for the mankind. "Minhā khalaqnākum wa fīhā nu‘īdukum wa minhā nukhrijukum tāratan ukhrá" (20:55) We created you from it and to it you will return. You came from earth, you'll return to earth. In the end Allāh (awj) will take us out from the earth like crops. Everything has an end. Allāh appointed a time for everything He (awj) created. When the time comes, it will finish, will go. The world will fall apart. The Judgement Day will come. There is an eternal life.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the Creator. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla creates everything. He (awj) tells us this. But shayṭān deceives people. He says that this world isn't enough for you. So, what shall we do? "There are billions of planets like yours, even trillions. Let's go to one of them. We start living there our way." Ok, very nice but this is an indication of the mindlessness of the non-believers. Allāh says "You are here. You can't go out. How do you go out? With Sulṭān Allāh's permission you can go out. Now if they try to go somewhere with the machines they make, they can't go in a hundred thousand years, from one place to the other takes a hundred thousand years. It isn't certain where they'll end up. Is there life there or not? What they do is illogical.
Allāh (awj) says; "You are here. There is another life but no need to search it in another planet as you are saying. It is already available for you. You'll go to the eternal life after this life anyway. There is no need to suffer. They can't succeed anyway. It is all lies. They deceive people with lies. By deceiving them they take advantage of them. They think they are winning something but they only deceive themselves. Like we said, this life can be 50, 60, 70, maximum 100, 120 years. Each person has a life span. Like we said, going from here to another planet not even halfway, in one step that man will be dead. Like we said he can't do it anyway.
Allāh calls us to the right path. He (awj) shows mankind's weakness. If they are arrogant, proud and do something Allāh will show a bit of His power in order for them to realize they can't do anything. Believers repent to Allāh, they take refuge in Allāh. But the others don't know what to do, they become miserable. No need to be miserable. Allāh makes us live for the ākhirah. Remember ākhirah. All the suffering in this world, if you say it is for Allāh's pleasure, it is written as a good deed. Whatever you do, do it for Allāh. Because Allāh created us for worshipping. If we do something with that intention it is worshipping. Nothing will be wasted. This suffering won't be wasted. Whose sufferings will be wasted are the non-believers, when they come to hell that is hell. Allāh says "you can either be patient". "Iṣlawhā fa-iṣbirū aw lā taṣbirū sawāun ‘alaykum" (52:16) Go into hell first. You either be patient or don't be patient, scream and shout. It is the same, no use. You are free to do anything you like. Patience is in this world. Accept what Allāh gives and be patient. Its reward is huge in this world. But after going to ākhirah it is useless. You will be in eternal torment.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create people and they are very weak. We are very weak creatures. We accept this. But some people, non-believer people, they are not accepting. They are proud. They are saying "Everything we can do". But Allāh, He show us sometimes something, you cannot do anything. Allāh give like this hot little bit - all people, they are complaining. They become very unhappy, very weak. "What this very hot?" And this is from maybe 3-4 degrees more than normal degree. People, they are making complaining. He is able to make it 15- 20 degree more, so nobody can survive. We must think for this. It is all from our Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He create us and He create all this universe. Everything in His hands. Allāh
‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "Minhā khalaqnākum wa fīhā nu‘īdukum wa minhā nukhrijukum tāratan ukhrá" (20:55) He created us from this earth. Second, we will be again earth. Third time we will grow from earth like growing vegetables or something like wheat. This is for human being. This is His will for human being. You are in this world. This is your home. You cannot go anywhere else. But people, they are proud and they are cheaters. They are making film, movies. And people believe them. They said "This is earth. This is too much now people. No more place to live. And what we will do now? We will go to another planet."
But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said this is your planet. You cannot go out from this. But people, they are cheating this. They're saying "We can make thing, rocket and go out, find another place to live. There is billions of planets we can live". Of course, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, He create whole universe and He has everywhere creatures. It is not only us in this universe. But everybody, he is by His order they have special. So if we want to go for another place, maybe need 100,000 years to go to some place. But even that you are
not guaranteed to find something. And your life, it is only the maximum maybe 120 years. How you will go there?
This is for common people. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying it is impossible for you to go by your machine, by your knowledge. Your knowledge is very short and is only cheating people by drunk - people drink and they say something. "This is big scholar, he said this." All people, they believe him. But for another [with] knowledge of Allāh, can go anywhere, even go 100 millions years away.
Knowledge of Allāh and power from Allāh. "Lā tanfudhūna illā bisulṭān" (55:33) This Sulṭān meaning power. And this is power from Allāh, not with machine. With machine it is impossible. Everybody they know this but they cheat themselves. They said "We will do this". But these people, Prophet (saw) he went mi‘rāj. Awliyā’u Llāh, other many people from Awliyā’u Llāh, they went out of this world, our world. They see many different universes. But for normal people, who are non-believers, it is impossible.
This given for only believer people to show mightiness of Allāh. But for normal people Allāh has said "No need for you to look for another planet because you have another life. Already you have another life" Allāh said. There is second life, real life after this life. So we must be prepared for that. We must try little bit to make things for ākhirah. And it is when you believe everything from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, all this what you're suffering from hot, from other, sickness, from everything - if you believe, it is written like you are worshipping. Because you believe this all from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And Allāh will reward you in ākhirah. When you are patient, "innamā yuwaffá ṣ-ṣābirūna ajrahum bighayri ḥisāb" (39:10) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla "I give the patient people without count. I will reward them". This is for believers.
But for non-believers, nothing for them. But in second life, when they're coming to hell, Allāh says them "Go to hell". And you are free to be patient, to be screaming, to be shouting, to do anything. But it is finished, no benefit for patience here. You can do anything in hell. But in dunya, if you're patient, Allāh give you reward from His endless, without counting, rewards. We are weak people. We must accept this. It is not order for us to say we are not weak. No, it is Allāh said "I create human being weak." So we are weak. Only we are strong with Allāh. Not with anything else. Who are looking to be strong with something not belonging to Allāh, he will be all time loser. Only we are strong with Allāh. Allāh make us like this whole time, in shā’ Allāh.

104.THE MOST IMPORTANT WEAPON Monday, June 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.
The purpose of the ṭarīqah is to save people from their wild attributes and teach them good manners. A wild tree sometimes gives fruit, sometimes doesn't. Grafting it and putting it in good shape - Ṭarīqah is also like this. People, who come to ṭarīqah come to learn, to make good deeds, to have good attributes for Allāh's pleasure, to train the ego. Training of the ego, so that you'll be a good servant in the eyes of Allāh. If you are a good servant in the eyes of Allāh, you'll be like that among people also. "Innamā l-‘ilmu bit- ta‘allam wa innamā l-ḥilmu bit-taḥallam" (Verily knowledge comes by learning and forbearance comes by forbearing.) They aren't going to put you in a paint box and make you have good manners. You should train your ego here, you'll learn slowly, so that you'll have good manners, be gentle and soft. Ṭarīqah people are like this.
There are tests everywhere, both in the ṭarīqah and not. People are being tested. If you accept it for Allāh's sake, you take its reward, your station will rise. You'll get rid of wildness. If you want to continue with a child's attributes till the end of your life it is useless. You'll be the one being harmed most because of that attribute. We said test. When there is a test, you can't say "I like this, I don't like this". A test is a test. It isn't according to your will. What you like is not a test. What you don't like is a test. If you are patient with it, you'll win. You will control your ego. Or else if you say "I like this, I didn't like that" of course the ego doesn't like it. The ego controls you.
To learn this, to go against your ego is considered a jihād. Jihād is obligatory for everyone. You can't attack on your own. We don't have an imām or a ruler. You can't do it according to your will. But the biggest jihād is to fight your ego, standing against your ego is a big jihād. You can do it till the end of time, the ego never stops rebelling against you, against Allāh's will. The ego, devil, and desire are always there. Going against them is a test, you either win or lose. If you win your station is raised, the ego goes down, you'll ride your ego. If you do what they want, their desires never end, all your life.
Like we said the most important weapon for jihād is patience and forbearance. Forbearance means to control the anger. These are big weapons against the ego. You have to say [to your ego] "You deserve worse." When you see something, when there is
a test say "this is something for your wildness". Don't defend your ego, crush your ego more then you'll be peaceful. If not, the ego gets wilder, makes you wilder. You'll never be trained, you won't be able to get rid of wildness like the ṭarīqah wants you to.
May Allāh help us. Now like we said testing continues all life long. May Allāh help us all, in shā’ Allāh. We are in life, and this life, it is like wild tree or wild place. To make it good we must follow some rules. And the best rule for this - to be in ṭarīqah. Ṭarīqah teaches you how to clean yourself, to make your place not wild, make it, graft it with good things. Wild tree, you cannot eat anything from it. Even maybe they can eat, but they are sour or there is thorn and it is not good. But when you graft it and make it clean around all this thorn, so you can eat very nice fruit. Our life it is wild from beginning up to end. If you didn't try to make it, clean it from wildness, it is like this until end. But if you're following order of Allāh, especially in ṭarīqah, there is murshid shaykh looking for you, you'll be clean and benefit for you and for others also. And it is way for to make your ego, train your ego to not be wild. And it is not easy, of course.
There is Prophet (saw) saying this is jihād. Jihād what is? Fighting against enemy. In Islām it is obligatory for people, you must make jihād. But there is rule and another thing. And [at] this time, you cannot fight by yourself. We must, first there must be Sulṭān, king, or amīr to make you fight against enemy. These days there is nothing like this. But there is also jihād fighting - this is bigger fighting, jihād for your ego. Because the most terrible enemy for human being - his ego. And it is until end of life you can be in jihād. You fight your ego. Every time you win on your ego, you take wildness little bit from your ego. And you'll be more higher degree.
And it is... How to fight? Test is our whole life test. You cannot say "I like this test. I don't like this test". Test, it is test. Nobody asking you "I will give you this, good if you accept, you like this test?" No. Especially, egos they never like test. But every time you win in your ego with test, you'll be more strong, more happy, more satisfied because you do good thing. We cannot say. But there is million tests. But we must be awake not be asleep. "What is this coming?" No. This is test all life. We are for Allāh. And Allāh make us to be more higher degree giving us some test. So we slowly, slowly we finish our wildness and to be good servant for Allāh, good person from ummah of Prophet (saw), to be good murīd for shaykh, mashāyikh. And when you are like this, people also they are happy with you. Everything happy with you. You are in peace with everything.
But if you are not like this, like others, everything, it is opposite you. You are from small thing, big thing, you become angry. Nothing can make you happy. All time crying, all time not laughing, maybe very rare you can see yourself laughing. This is first, as we said, ego making enemy for ourself. We mustn't listen for our ego. When you do opposite, you'll be happy also, around you also will be happy. In shā’ Allāh we try. Allāh
help us to do this. Because it is little bit difficult to be patient. It's most important weapon for us - patience and to be soft with people. This is biggest weapon for us. So if you're angry, you put more fire on, on petrol. But if you are calm, you'll be soft, it will be finished, in shā’ Allāh.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
105.ZAKĀH IS FOR CLEANING Tuesday, June 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.
There are 5 pillars of Islām. 3 of them are for worshipping, 2 of them for wealthy people - for people, who have money, it is obligatory. Zakāh and ḥajj aren't obligatory for poor people. When is it obligatory? When they have money for zakāh they should have money equivalent to 100 grams of gold over the period of one year. If it is 5-6 months it isn't obligatory yet. 8,9 months, until 12 months pass, you give 2,5% of that money.
2,5%. If you think about it, it is nothing. Zakāh cleans that wealth, cleans your money. It becomes ḥalāl. If not, your wealth is dirty. Even if one part of it is dirty, it spreads to all. Until you pay its right, that is Allāh's right; it is a right to be given to the poor. If you don't give that you commit various sins, you'll be in trouble. You think you win but you lose. You lose both spiritually, it is a big loss, and also materially because zakāh increases the wealth. Don't think that when you keep 2,5% you are making a profit. You lose more than that amount. Even if the barakah goes it is enough. When there is no barakah your wealth is useless.
Shayṭān makes a lot of tricks, deceives people. He doesn't not just try to deceive, but he deceives a lot. Most people openly leave the right way and go astray. After our Prophet (saw) tens of thousands of Arabs entered into Islām. Hundreds of thousands of people became Muslim. Our Prophet (saw) first ordered them zakāh. Sometimes they accepted. The ones, who didn't accept he fought against them until they accepted. In the end all of them accepted the zakāh. When they heard the passing away of the Prophet (saw), they said "we aren't giving zakāh. We are Muslims but won't give zakāh." Hz. Abu Bakir said; "Even if you give one penny less I'll fight with you." He fought. He cleaned all those, who went out from Islām. They all accepted zakāh and continued like that.
So zakāh is an important thing. It shouldn't be underestimated. The government takes a tax. The government's tax isn't yearly. As soon as you sell, they are on your back. If it was 2,5% everyone would thank Allāh. The government takes at least 20, 30 percent tax. Nobody says a word - "What is this?" People don't say anything, they give. But for Allāh's way, they don't give. Even if it is 0,5% it will be too much for people. That's why zakāh
is very important. It is for our benefit. It cleans our wealth and increases the barakah. May Allāh make us all give zakāh.
Like we said people, who have money are obliged to give zakāh. The poor aren't obliged to give. That's why we say Allāh gives us all, because poverty is a difficult thing. Hz. Ali says "if poverty were a man, I would kill him." Poverty is that difficult. Poverty isn't a good thing. So we pray that we have money and we give zakāh.
Today we speak about Islām they have 5 pillars, 3 for worshipping for everybody. But there is 2 for only who rich, or get enough money to do this. One of them is zakāh, second one ḥajj. For poor people not obligatory this, only for he has enough money, meaning rich, and this money it must be one year with you. Before one year no need for this. And it's around 100 grams of gold or more, they can calculate. And it is so small, only 2.5% from your money, if you have £100, it is only £2.5 you can pay. And it is very few, and it is not every time, only once a year. But even this shayṭān make it so big. People they are trying to not paying. Many people they are not paying. And they are cheating themselves.
This zakāh is to clean your money, to clean your fortune. But if you are not cleaning it, whole your money it will be dirty because this is not yours anymore. After one year 2.5% this is for Allāh and it is for poor people. If you keep it for yourself you are doing many wrong thing. First of them you become thief - steal money of poor people and take if for yourself. And this making you, gives you many bad things - from illness, taking barakah from your money, to be bad luck for your money, for your health even. For everything it is like poison. You must take it and give it. When you take it, it is becoming reward for you, helps you here and in ākhirah also.
It is very important and it is not so much. Because in our country here if you sell something or buy, they put VAT and others from VAT. There's many tax, maybe at least it is 25% tax in our country. In Europe, the most civilized, 80% tax like communist. But people they are not complaining for that, only complaining for 2.5% and it is only once a year. They are complaining and making it big. Shayṭān showing people it is too much, "why this, why we will pay this?" When you pay for government Allāh not reward you because He is not order. His order only for you to pay for His order 2.5%. For other we cannot say it is order from Allāh, if we say this we are liars and we can be punished because we say something Allāh He didn't say.
Only Allāh want from people and, it is if everybody doing this, it is enough, more than enough for whole poor people in the world. We know our brothers in Islām they have petrol, everyone they can give billion of zakāh, but they are not doing this. So Allāh is not oppressor as we said before also, He is our Creator. He knows what we can give, what we can do, what we cannot do. And we are asking Allāh, Allāh to make us able to
do this. Because to do this, you must have enough money. To have enough money, it is good, not bad. Poorness it is so bad, can make people, especially weak ego people, to make very wrong thing. For this Sayyidunā ‘Alī he was saying "if poorness, he was a man, I want to kill him, to finish from poorness." Of course this is what. Because his knowledge from Prophet (saws) and he knows how bad it is, poorness. Allāh give us to give, in shā’ Allāh
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
106.THE BATTLE OF BADR Wednesday, June 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.

Now it is the 17th of Ramaḍān. Mā shā’ Allāh it has been 17 days since Ramaḍān started. Ramaḍān is holy, everyday something nice happened. First, the Holy Qur’ān descended in Ramaḍān. Also in these days the battle of Badr took place. Our Prophet (sas) made a big war against the mushrikūn. By Allāh's wisdom, Allāh helped and they were victorious.
Our Prophet (saw) never gave up praying. Although there were many miracles Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, tested the believers. They were in the minority and didn't have enough weapons with them, no horses. They were on foot, not only on foot, some of them didn't have shoes or sandals. In those conditions, they showed their belief in Allāh. They fought with belief. Allāh helped them. They defeated all the non-believers. Our Prophet (saw) showed many miracles there. If he had wanted he could have killed all the soldiers immediately. It was nothing. Their number was 3 times that of the Muslims. Even if it was 3 thousand times more, doesn't matter as long as Allāh wants.
But Allāh's wisdom was to let people show their belief. They showed how much they loved the Prophet (saw) and Allāh. They jumped into death without even thinking. Allāh rewarded them. He (jj) gave them a good victory. He both gave victory and forgave the 313 companions' and the Prophet's past and future sins. Because normally people's past sins may be forgiven but not the future sins. He granted this only to those holy people. Allāh protected them from sins also in the future. They may have small mistakes but Allāh forgave them because they fought in that war.
Their names are also holy, with them comes blessings. If you mention their names or hang them in your house, it brings blessing. All the Muhājirūn, many from Anṣār, altogether 313 people were present. There were some companions, who weren't there. He left Hz. ‘Uthmān [in Medina] to take his place and also because Ruqayyah his holy daughter was sick. He (saw) left Hz. ‘Uthmān in Medina as his deputy and to take care of her. That's why he couldn't attend. On the way back, before the Prophet (saw) came back, his daughter Ruqayyah passed away. The others, in the front was Hz. ‘Alī, he faced the enemy first. Hz. Abū Bakr was in the Prophet's (saw) tent. He stayed with him (saw)
as a guard. Hz. ‘Umar also fought. Hz Ḥamzah, raḍī Allāhu ‘anhu, he killed most of the enemies.
So they were very holy people. That's why Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla made them the most distinguished companions. The companions also have levels, some are the most distinguished, after them come the good ones, after them are also considered companions but they aren't like the first ones who came. Holy Qur’ān says; "Lā yastawī minkum man anfaqa min qabli lfatḥi wa qātala." (57:10) The ones, who fought during war and spent money in the way of Allāh and the ones, who did it after the war, aren't the same. This shows us that the ranks of the companions change. The holiest ones are those who attended the Battle of Badr. May Allāh send their blessing on us, in shā’ Allāh, raise their ranks, and their support comes for us. .
Today - 17th of Ramaḍān. Ramaḍān is a holy month, everyday is another occasion, another good memory for Ramaḍān. Especially in Ramaḍān, Holy Qur’ān was sent in Ramaḍān. And this day, the day of the first battle, war between believers and between non-believers. It is very holy war, because first before, it wasn't allowed to fight in Islām until coming to Medina and these non-believers still trying to finish Islām and Prophet (saws). Allāh give the permission and order to fight.
So, what happened it was trying to cut the way of trade for Quraysh for Damascus and there was one caravan coming by Abū Sufyān. And he asked from Mecca - it was that time nonbelievers Quraysh was that time kāfir. And they quickly running to help him. But he was very, very clever, he ran away. He said no need to war, to come to fight.
But these old dinosaurs of Quraysh was very proud. No they said: "we will go, we will take singer, we will cut camels, we will drink alcohol, and we will fight with this small group of people and finish this problem to be rest." They were coming like this, with every badness. And they were telling Prophet (saws). Prophet said "when we are intending to go we cannot run away, in sha’ Allāh, we will meet them and fight them." And it was, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. They meeting and they finish all this oppressor. The most oppressor people, most stubborn people, most wild people, 70 of them they finish them.
And they won many thing from this because they run away other people they left what there was with them. It [spoils] was for Prophet and the ṣaḥābah who are fighting with him. It was too many miracles in this war. Even before beginning war, Prophet (saws) was going around with ṣaḥābah and telling "in this area this place Abū Jahl he will be killed." This will be other one. In this place..." and it was exactly where he was showing same place they were killed. Many things like this. And they were fighting but Allāh (awj) make them test for them, not help them to finish quickly. No just like normal people but with strength and no fear. Brave! And they were, al-ḥamdu liLlāh.
There were of course angels also were with them, they were not fighting they were just afraid [scaring] these non-believer people. Because write in Qur’ān they telling- Allāh give 1000 of angels, and some of this kāfir even when they come to Makkah, Makkah people they were blaming them "O you are strong and there was nothing in this, how you run away?" He said, one of them, said "don't blame us, what we saw in this horse and horse and there were angels if you, you would die from afraid [fear]."
But this angel, of course one angel can finish all of them, but Allāh (awj) make it "sunnatu Llāh". What meaning? Normal condition for people, they must fight, they must kill, must be killed to be shahīd. Like this.
And, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, it was very holy battle, very holy war and it was in Ramaḍān around these days, I think 17 or these 2-3 days preparation. After they were fighting and they won. And they won they were very poor and they take many things from this, because the others they come with everything. Maybe more than 1000 camels, horses, food, everything there was coming they take - Muslims. But the more important for this army, holy army they were praised by Allāh. They are all this army, accept holy army. Allāh said "I forgive you for what you've done and what you will do." This it is not for everybody, it was only for Prophet (saws) and for these 313 ṣaḥābah.
All, big ṣaḥābah they were there except Sayyidinā ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān he was in Madīnah, he was looking for niyābatan on behalf, like governor before, and because his wife, daughter of Prophet (saws) Ruqayyah (as) she was ill and so Prophet said "be with her". And she passed away before Prophet (saws) coming [back] So these people, more important for them what Allāh praised them, and they're the highest station for companion of Prophet (saws).
Companion of Prophet (saws) also degrees, the highest degree 10 people they were good tiding with Paradise, ‘ashara mubashara'. After these - 313. After of course like this, but ṣaḥābah many ṣaḥābah, they have degree. And it is shown in Qur’ān. Allāh was saying in Qur’ān, there was people who was fighting and giving their money before opening Makkah, they are better from other. After conquer of Makkah. So it was like this because 100, more than 100.000 ṣaḥābah, all they have a different level. The highest level as we said these 313 people. They are blessed, we ask du‘ā’ in du‘ā’ also in Qaṣīdah, for the sake of them to give, Allāh to ask for what we want. Allāh bless them, Allāh make us to be blessed with their soul, in shā’ Allāh

107.THE RELIGION OF MERCY Thursday, June 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 ṭarīqah orders us to be together in an assembly and sohbet. What does Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla order us? Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Inna Llāha ya’muru bil-‘adli wal-iḥsāni wa ītā’i dhī l-qurbá wa yanhá ‘ani l-faḥshā’i wal-munkari walbaghyi ya‘iẓukum la‘allakum tadhakkarūna." (16:90). Allāh orders goodness and justice, to take care of relatives, orders all kinds of goodness. The religion of Islām is Allāh's order. It is whatever He (jj) orders. He never orders badness. He tells us to stay away from it. Now in the end of times we see a lot of groups in the world, who claim to be Muslims. None of them keep this order. They do the opposite but say "We are Muslims", they tell people, "this is Islām". Non-Muslims are happy about it - They say "Look this is Islām. Islām is a bad religion, wild religion. It orders badness." It is all lies. It has nothing to do with it. In Allāh's Book, Islām orders goodness with the word of Allāh. Islām never orders badness - shayṭān orders that, shayṭān and his followers follow their ego.
In the old times most people - Muslims, Christians lived together in the Islamic world. There was tolerance in Islamic world. But non-Muslim countries never had Muslim communities. They either forced them to change their religion, killed them, or they had to run away. In the Islamic world it continues the same way since the time of the Prophet (saw). During that time, people, who saw the beauty of Islām, who understood it was the right religion, Christians and Jews, converted to Islām because they were also expecting the Prophet (saw). Allāh gave their hearts guidance. They were converting because of small things. One man, his daughter heard about Islām. Love of Allāh and Islām entered her heart and she insisted on becoming a Muslim. But the man was not Muslim. He didn't want her to be a Muslim. He was sorry, "How will my daughter be a Muslim?" Whereas the reality is it is the continuation of the same religion.
No matter how much he talked, it had no effect. Then a mu’adhdhin came to the mosque nearby. His voice was so ugly, a crow is like a sparrow compared to him. He started calling adhān. His daughter changed her mind in one week. She began to dislike Islām. "What is this? They said "adhān." What adhān is this?" "He calls people to pray in the mosque." "If it is like this, there is no need. " Out of happiness, her father took two sacks
of gold and went to the mu’adhdhin. "Take it. May Allāh be pleased with you. You did a good job, you saved us."
It is the same now, people, who say they are Muslims and think they are doing good for Islām, they are discrediting Islām knowingly or unknowing. They make people escape from Islām.
Islām is beauty, goodness - nothing else. Anyone, who says something else is a liar, hypocrite, they follow their ego. Allāh doesn't order anything other than goodness, mercy. Allāh creates various excuses to forgive people. They insist that everyone will go to hell. May Allāh give them good understanding.
Allāh (awj), in our Ṭarīqah to make ṣuḥbah and to be with good people. And it is essence of Islām, Allāh ordered the āyah, every Jum‘ah we read this, "Inna Llāha ya’muru bil- ‘adli wa liḥsāni wa ītā’i dhī l-qurbá wa yanhá ‘ani l-faḥshā’i wa l-munkari wa l-baghyi ya‘iẓukum la‘allakum tadhakkarūna" (16:90) Allāh orders all goodness, justice to be with family, to be with friends, to be with good people, to be mercy for people. And He prevent to oppress people, to take anything from people, to make to be tyrant on people. This is forbidden in Islām. And who is saying another thing it is from themselves, from shayṭān.
Shayṭān can show you black one as white one and it is his cheating people. But for Islām never be wrong, or ordering anything wrong. Ordering everything good, everything right, everything beautiful; every nice thing, it is order of Allāh for people. To be happy here and hereafter -this is order of Allāh. But these days there's many different groups. They are showing Islām as the worst religion. These people and, there's unfortunately, we can say here - who are not in Islām, all now in this time in secret or appearance, they are attacking Islām. And it is play of shayṭān. They are controlled by shayṭān, these who are attacking Islām. And these people who are claiming who are Muslims, and they real Muslims and doing the worst for human being, before [not just] human being, for Muslims they are doing the worst. These people are helping these non-believer people to... because people...
Allāh make Islām like from habit of human beings - Fiṭratu l-Islām (their nature). In everyone there is Islām until ... All children they have their Islām. After when they're growing up their family they change them. But normally for all human beings, their Islām is inside (innate) and they like to be Islām, and it is very big afraid from non- Muslim people to be [that] their follower becoming Islām. And they find these people to make more people and saying "Islām, as you are saying monster, afraid." And it was like this, before in old times also. Islām and non-Muslims they were living in Muslim countries together. And they have rights, more than Muslim even in our country. Non- Muslim under Muslim Sulṭān, they have everything free for them, worshipping, doing
their court, doing their customs - everything free for them. They were living together in peace with Muslims. But it was for non-Muslim countries, it was not like this at all. You cannot find anything in non-Muslim country, even they change by force religion, even they killed them, even they take them out from their country, exile. They make this for millions, for Muslims and for even Christians who are not following them and for Jewish also, they throw all of them. But Muslim it is country, since Prophet (saws) they have special situation. And they can be free how they like to be.
And this time many of these non-Muslims they're interested about Islām, many of them become Muslim also. Because Islām it is not different from Christianity or Jewish, Judaism - it is the same. It coming from same place, one after one coming. So many of them were becoming Muslim. And once, one rich man non-Muslim he has a daughter and she is interested about Islām. And when asking, asking, she was nearly becoming Muslim. She was very happy to be Muslim. And this man he was very sad about this, he bring priest, he bring scholar from his religion to tell this girl this is not good, this is our religion better. And she was insisting. In that time there was a mosque near there they come a new mu’adhdhin, calling for prayer mu’adhdhin, adhān, 5 times a day. And his voice, he was so terrible - so it is crow it is nice bird comparing to him. He beginning 1, 2, 3, and she was asking "what is this?" They said "adhān, they are calling for prayer the Muslim Mosque." She said "what this man like this, I don't want to be anymore Muslim." She finished, and her father he was very happy. He bring two bags full of gold and give it to this mu’adhdhin - "thank you very much, you've done for me the best thing. Take this for you."
And nowadays our people are exactly like this. They're making people to run away. Even Muslim they try some of them to run away from these people also. Allāh gives them good understanding. But the important thing here to say - Islām only ordering nice things. It is religion of mercy, and Allāh (awj) He wants people to be in safe, specially for ākhirah, and He forgives for He has big forgiveness for everybody and He not like these people what they are doing, showing Allāh not forgiving anybody. Allāh He is forgive. He said 100 times you can do wrong I also 100 times I forgive you. This is our Lord, the Most Merciful. al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh make these people to understand this, to not be, to make a little bit head not like a rock to be like human being head, in shā’ Allāh

108.THE EU IS FINISHED Friday, June 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.
Thanks to Allāh, Everyday it becomes apparent that the best way is the way that Allāh shows. 150-200 years ago during the last days of the Ottomans, 150 years ago I guess, some people came out saying : "This government is useless, we have to fix it, how shall we reform it?" Everyday people learn new things, new sciences emerge, many things come out to make life better, so that the government gets stronger. The Ottomans were a bit underdeveloped in terms of technology. But if Allāh helps them, technology is useless. But at that time the devil deceived people. "Look you are underdeveloped, look how far Europe went, how strong they are. You are getting weak. We certainly need to reform the government, bring new sciences."
Since that time they run after Europe like crazy. Europe is like a wolf. You go there like a sheep, will the non-believers show mercy to you? They divided and conquered as they liked. In the end they made the Ottoman Empire into 40 countries. That isn't important. Important is that they destroyed people's belief. Europe had knowledge, new sciences. That's why people in Ottoman times went there, to learn sciences. What did they learn there? They learned philosophy, disgrace. They didn't learn science. They brought opera, theatre, music, songs, etc. They started not liking their own culture. There had to be a piano, they sang like opera. They saw themselves as inferior.
In fact our culture, civilisation was the highest. This is the civilisation, that Allāh put. The system order, sharī‘ah that Allāh gave is the best. There is everything in the sharī‘ah of Islām. The Ottoman Empire and civilisation lasted 700 years. Everywhere, everything was organized in the smallest detail how it should be done - both written and verbally. They destroyed this. They said "We'll bring science". "Ok bring". "How will you make new inventions, strengthen the army, strengthen the fleet?" They didn't bring any of this, they only brought disgrace. This is disbelief, nothing else. Denying Allāh, they brought nothing except denial of the religion. That's why millions of peopl

rmission they 'll succeed in real life because they studied for Allāh, not for this world. They want to take blessings and start their lives with goodness. That is very important. Like we said we read until this age, we read the good things and the bad things. This system that they teach is of course the secular system, without belief in the Creator, in religion. But thanks to Allāh the religious affairs with its Qur’ān courses, the community doesn't leave the kids loose. They don't set them loose, they follow them around. Thanks to Allāh, they don't forget them.
So this is an important matter - remember Allāh before you start a new life. Everything is in His (awj) hand. We are at the beginning of our lives, 20-25 years old. If Allāh gives long life, you'll have 2-3 times more to live. Your parents took care of you here. There you'll take care of yourself. So don't forget Allāh when starting your life. Keep your prayers. If you aren't praying learn slowly - 2 rak‘ats, 4 rak‘ats everyday, as much as you can do. Start with 2 rak‘ats so you'll have a successful life.
During the time of Mawlānā, Mawlānā had a relative. He got his diploma and came. Mawlānā prayed for him. He is the number one brain surgeon in Turkey so far. He succeeded. There are many people like him, well known people. There are hundreds of people like him. In 1974, 1980's in London, there were people, who are now in some positions in the government. They all came and took Mawlānā's blessings. So, it isn't a shame or a bad thing to take blessings. Actually this is necessary. You shouldn't forget this. If you put fuel in this machine this machine will work, with Allāh's permission. If you don't it stays new, nothing happens but it won't go anywhere.
So don't forget Allāh. When you start a new life, in order to succeed, take the blessings of the holy people. Visit the tombs of the holy ones. Ask help from Allāh. Ask help from the Prophet (sas). Ask himmah from the holy ones, in shā’ Allāh. Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla He created us and make period for everything for our life. There is period - when newborn one, baby period, after - childhood, and after - young. After... Like this for everything there is period. And it is when finish one, beginning another one. And when you feel, you see, sometimes people when they are beginning for school, first school and elementary, elementary school. I still remember, my mother she took me by hand, put in school. I was shocked. This is new period for me. After I finish elementary school, also Mawlānā take me to madrasah. I was also, the second one. So it is every period you feel new life for you.
And nowadays people, they are teaching... People, they're sending children to school. In whole world there is place, teachers they are teaching what their ego, their ego likes, what shayṭān likes. And they are doing this like one of soldier of shayṭān. Very tough, they are doing this. And especially here in this island, these teachers' union, they have special union. It is completely nonbeliever, completely soldiers of shayṭān. They were fighting Mawlānā from beginning until end.
Until now they are fighting - "We don't want one lesson even for religion lesson." We want... They put their desire - I cannot speak here what they want to do and they put this dirty magazine or dirty things. They want to do this here. And they are teaching all the world. But I give example for teacher. And teaching it is very important because they affect students.
Since 100 years here we see it is like they forget about Islam everything. Other places also, many of them, some like this, some like that and they are teaching students until coming to university. Before there was secondary school after high school. Old time people in our country secondary or high school, they finish. Who can read, study, they continue, very few going to university. And it was enough for them. Everybody know about what he will do. When finish secondary or high school, they take job, they get married, they have children, looking for their business. But shayṭān, it is not enough for him this. He must control until they finish from university and to go to not know anything. Because university nowadays, it is like elementary school in Mawlānā time school. They were teaching better then, they were more knowledgeable from these university people now. They are going out from university and don't know anything. Even my son study 4 years here in engineer. He said "I learn more in 3 months in my work" he begin to work "I learn more than this." This is reality.
And even this, now people... Ok, they are reading. What we will do? We are just speaking in this hot day, drying our tongue. Nobody listen. All people, even government here in Turkey and other places, they want, we want this paper, diploma for university. If you don't have, you cannot go to work. You cannot work with us. So everybody, they are finding some way. And now university like grocery, every street you have one university. It is easy to get, but give money. Ok, this is we cannot do anything. But what is important after this, now they finish, one or two days they will finish, on Mondaythey will take diploma. They are going to their countries to begin a new life, to get work, to do something. They finish, no more study. What the most important here for these people to do? Most important thing to get du‘ā’, to remember Allāh, to visit holy places, holy people, to ask for prayer for themselves. "We take this, it is only one piece of paper. Make du‘ā’ we are beginning a new life - to succeed in our life."
They are coming, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. Many of them coming here. But many, many are
coming. But even these they are not 5% from university people. The 95% they are not thinking. "Oh we are ... al-ḥamdu liLlāh." - they don't say al-ḥamdu liLlāh. They are making party, they can drink, they can be happy, they forget important thing. The most important thing this, to not forget this. Because Allāh, when He want something, even you are... without doing anything, make you succeed. Everything in His hand. Mawlānā was... Many of successful people, we know hundred of them, they were taking du‘ā’ praying from Mawlānā and they succeed. And I remember one also. Very... He was relative for Mawlānā. He was brain surgeon. He just take his diploma and come. His mother, she bring him and said "This is I bring. First he take diploma, I bring for you to make du‘ā’." Al-ḥamdu liLlāh he was, now he is number one in Turkey. Very famous one.
This is one of them. But even there is hundred of people even in higher stations in Turkey. They have, they were in London meeting Mawlānā, visiting Mawlānā, taking du‘ā’. Many of them, they are ministers, prime ministers, what they are many of them. The most important here, not only for success, for dunya. When you come and ask barakah, du‘ā’ to succeed, it is more important for your other life also. So you're remembering it is not only for this dunyā. So Allāh help you and make you succeed here and hereafter, in shā’ Allāh.
We are asking Allāh Azza wa Jalla to change this, especially who are claiming they are teachers teaching bad things from this holy day Ramaḍān day. Because Mawlānā was suffering from these people. Only for these people he was every time, he's not happy with them. He remember and he see they are doing this, he is very unhappy and he was angry for them. In shā’ Allāh, Allāh change them, bring better people from them, in shā’ Allāh.

103.ONLY STRONG WITH ALLAH Sunday, June 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.
"Wa khuliqa l-insānu ḍa‘īfan" (4:28) said Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Man is created weak. If it is hot for a while, there is no harm. With 2-3 degrees increase people say that they are exhausted. "What is this heat?" they complain all the time. This 3-5 degrees. If Allāh (awj) increased it 10, 15 degrees no life, nobody will be left. Mankind doesn't acknowledge his weakness. He stands up against Allāh (awj).
Allāh gave us this world as a home. It is home for the mankind. "Minhā khalaqnākum wa fīhā nu‘īdukum wa minhā nukhrijukum tāratan ukhrá" (20:55) We created you from it and to it you will return. You came from earth, you'll return to earth. In the end Allāh (awj) will take us out from the earth like crops. Everything has an end. Allāh appointed a time for everything He (awj) created. When the time comes, it will finish, will go. The world will fall apart. The Judgement Day will come. There is an eternal life.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the Creator. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla creates everything. He (awj) tells us this. But shayṭān deceives people. He says that this world isn't enough for you. So, what shall we do? "There are billions of planets like yours, even trillions. Let's go to one of them. We start living there our way." Ok, very nice but this is an indication of the mindlessness of the non-believers. Allāh says "You are here. You can't go out. How do you go out? With Sulṭān Allāh's permission you can go out. Now if they try to go somewhere with the machines they make, they can't go in a hundred thousand years, from one place to the other takes a hundred thousand years. It isn't certain where they'll end up. Is there life there or not? What they do is illogical.
Allāh (awj) says; "You are here. There is another life but no need to search it in another planet as you are saying. It is already available for you. You'll go to the eternal life after this life anyway. There is no need to suffer. They can't succeed anyway. It is all lies. They deceive people with lies. By deceiving them they take advantage of them. They think they are winning something but they only deceive themselves. Like we said, this life can be 50, 60, 70, maximum 100, 120 years. Each person has a life span. Like we said, going from here to another planet not even halfway, in one step that man will be dead. Like we said he can't do it anyway.
Allāh calls us to the right path. He (awj) shows mankind's weakness. If they are arrogant, proud and do something Allāh will show a bit of His power in order for them to realize they can't do anything. Believers repent to Allāh, they take refuge in Allāh. But the others don't know what to do, they become miserable. No need to be miserable. Allāh makes us live for the ākhirah. Remember ākhirah. All the suffering in this world, if you say it is for Allāh's pleasure, it is written as a good deed. Whatever you do, do it for Allāh. Because Allāh created us for worshipping. If we do something with that intention it is worshipping. Nothing will be wasted. This suffering won't be wasted. Whose sufferings will be wasted are the non-believers, when they come to hell that is hell. Allāh says "you can either be patient". "Iṣlawhā fa-iṣbirū aw lā taṣbirū sawāun ‘alaykum" (52:16) Go into hell first. You either be patient or don't be patient, scream and shout. It is the same, no use. You are free to do anything you like. Patience is in this world. Accept what Allāh gives and be patient. Its reward is huge in this world. But after going to ākhirah it is useless. You will be in eternal torment.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create people and they are very weak. We are very weak creatures. We accept this. But some people, non-believer people, they are not accepting. They are proud. They are saying "Everything we can do". But Allāh, He show us sometimes something, you cannot do anything. Allāh give like this hot little bit - all people, they are complaining. They become very unhappy, very weak. "What this very hot?" And this is from maybe 3-4 degrees more than normal degree. People, they are making complaining. He is able to make it 15- 20 degree more, so nobody can survive. We must think for this. It is all from our Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He create us and He create all this universe. Everything in His hands. Allāh
‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "Minhā khalaqnākum wa fīhā nu‘īdukum wa minhā nukhrijukum tāratan ukhrá" (20:55) He created us from this earth. Second, we will be again earth. Third time we will grow from earth like growing vegetables or something like wheat. This is for human being. This is His will for human being. You are in this world. This is your home. You cannot go anywhere else. But people, they are proud and they are cheaters. They are making film, movies. And people believe them. They said "This is earth. This is too much now people. No more place to live. And what we will do now? We will go to another planet."
But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said this is your planet. You cannot go out from this. But people, they are cheating this. They're saying "We can make thing, rocket and go out, find another place to live. There is billions of planets we can live". Of course, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, He create whole universe and He has everywhere creatures. It is not only us in this universe. But everybody, he is by His order they have special. So if we want to go for another place, maybe need 100,000 years to go to some place. But even that you are
not guaranteed to find something. And your life, it is only the maximum maybe 120 years. How you will go there?
This is for common people. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying it is impossible for you to go by your machine, by your knowledge. Your knowledge is very short and is only cheating people by drunk - people drink and they say something. "This is big scholar, he said this." All people, they believe him. But for another [with] knowledge of Allāh, can go anywhere, even go 100 millions years away.
Knowledge of Allāh and power from Allāh. "Lā tanfudhūna illā bisulṭān" (55:33) This Sulṭān meaning power. And this is power from Allāh, not with machine. With machine it is impossible. Everybody they know this but they cheat themselves. They said "We will do this". But these people, Prophet (saw) he went mi‘rāj. Awliyā’u Llāh, other many people from Awliyā’u Llāh, they went out of this world, our world. They see many different universes. But for normal people, who are non-believers, it is impossible.
This given for only believer people to show mightiness of Allāh. But for normal people Allāh has said "No need for you to look for another planet because you have another life. Already you have another life" Allāh said. There is second life, real life after this life. So we must be prepared for that. We must try little bit to make things for ākhirah. And it is when you believe everything from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, all this what you're suffering from hot, from other, sickness, from everything - if you believe, it is written like you are worshipping. Because you believe this all from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And Allāh will reward you in ākhirah. When you are patient, "innamā yuwaffá ṣ-ṣābirūna ajrahum bighayri ḥisāb" (39:10) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla "I give the patient people without count. I will reward them". This is for believers.
But for non-believers, nothing for them. But in second life, when they're coming to hell, Allāh says them "Go to hell". And you are free to be patient, to be screaming, to be shouting, to do anything. But it is finished, no benefit for patience here. You can do anything in hell. But in dunya, if you're patient, Allāh give you reward from His endless, without counting, rewards. We are weak people. We must accept this. It is not order for us to say we are not weak. No, it is Allāh said "I create human being weak." So we are weak. Only we are strong with Allāh. Not with anything else. Who are looking to be strong with something not belonging to Allāh, he will be all time loser. Only we are strong with Allāh. Allāh make us like this whole time, in shā’ Allāh.

104.THE MOST IMPORTANT WEAPON Monday, June 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.
The purpose of the ṭarīqah is to save people from their wild attributes and teach them good manners. A wild tree sometimes gives fruit, sometimes doesn't. Grafting it and putting it in good shape - Ṭarīqah is also like this. People, who come to ṭarīqah come to learn, to make good deeds, to have good attributes for Allāh's pleasure, to train the ego. Training of the ego, so that you'll be a good servant in the eyes of Allāh. If you are a good servant in the eyes of Allāh, you'll be like that among people also. "Innamā l-‘ilmu bit- ta‘allam wa innamā l-ḥilmu bit-taḥallam" (Verily knowledge comes by learning and forbearance comes by forbearing.) They aren't going to put you in a paint box and make you have good manners. You should train your ego here, you'll learn slowly, so that you'll have good manners, be gentle and soft. Ṭarīqah people are like this.
There are tests everywhere, both in the ṭarīqah and not. People are being tested. If you accept it for Allāh's sake, you take its reward, your station will rise. You'll get rid of wildness. If you want to continue with a child's attributes till the end of your life it is useless. You'll be the one being harmed most because of that attribute. We said test. When there is a test, you can't say "I like this, I don't like this". A test is a test. It isn't according to your will. What you like is not a test. What you don't like is a test. If you are patient with it, you'll win. You will control your ego. Or else if you say "I like this, I didn't like that" of course the ego doesn't like it. The ego controls you.
To learn this, to go against your ego is considered a jihād. Jihād is obligatory for everyone. You can't attack on your own. We don't have an imām or a ruler. You can't do it according to your will. But the biggest jihād is to fight your ego, standing against your ego is a big jihād. You can do it till the end of time, the ego never stops rebelling against you, against Allāh's will. The ego, devil, and desire are always there. Going against them is a test, you either win or lose. If you win your station is raised, the ego goes down, you'll ride your ego. If you do what they want, their desires never end, all your life.
Like we said the most important weapon for jihād is patience and forbearance. Forbearance means to control the anger. These are big weapons against the ego. You have to say [to your ego] "You deserve worse." When you see something, when there is
a test say "this is something for your wildness". Don't defend your ego, crush your ego more then you'll be peaceful. If not, the ego gets wilder, makes you wilder. You'll never be trained, you won't be able to get rid of wildness like the ṭarīqah wants you to.
May Allāh help us. Now like we said testing continues all life long. May Allāh help us all, in shā’ Allāh. We are in life, and this life, it is like wild tree or wild place. To make it good we must follow some rules. And the best rule for this - to be in ṭarīqah. Ṭarīqah teaches you how to clean yourself, to make your place not wild, make it, graft it with good things. Wild tree, you cannot eat anything from it. Even maybe they can eat, but they are sour or there is thorn and it is not good. But when you graft it and make it clean around all this thorn, so you can eat very nice fruit. Our life it is wild from beginning up to end. If you didn't try to make it, clean it from wildness, it is like this until end. But if you're following order of Allāh, especially in ṭarīqah, there is murshid shaykh looking for you, you'll be clean and benefit for you and for others also. And it is way for to make your ego, train your ego to not be wild. And it is not easy, of course.
There is Prophet (saw) saying this is jihād. Jihād what is? Fighting against enemy. In Islām it is obligatory for people, you must make jihād. But there is rule and another thing. And [at] this time, you cannot fight by yourself. We must, first there must be Sulṭān, king, or amīr to make you fight against enemy. These days there is nothing like this. But there is also jihād fighting - this is bigger fighting, jihād for your ego. Because the most terrible enemy for human being - his ego. And it is until end of life you can be in jihād. You fight your ego. Every time you win on your ego, you take wildness little bit from your ego. And you'll be more higher degree.
And it is... How to fight? Test is our whole life test. You cannot say "I like this test. I don't like this test". Test, it is test. Nobody asking you "I will give you this, good if you accept, you like this test?" No. Especially, egos they never like test. But every time you win in your ego with test, you'll be more strong, more happy, more satisfied because you do good thing. We cannot say. But there is million tests. But we must be awake not be asleep. "What is this coming?" No. This is test all life. We are for Allāh. And Allāh make us to be more higher degree giving us some test. So we slowly, slowly we finish our wildness and to be good servant for Allāh, good person from ummah of Prophet (saw), to be good murīd for shaykh, mashāyikh. And when you are like this, people also they are happy with you. Everything happy with you. You are in peace with everything.
But if you are not like this, like others, everything, it is opposite you. You are from small thing, big thing, you become angry. Nothing can make you happy. All time crying, all time not laughing, maybe very rare you can see yourself laughing. This is first, as we said, ego making enemy for ourself. We mustn't listen for our ego. When you do opposite, you'll be happy also, around you also will be happy. In shā’ Allāh we try. Allāh
help us to do this. Because it is little bit difficult to be patient. It's most important weapon for us - patience and to be soft with people. This is biggest weapon for us. So if you're angry, you put more fire on, on petrol. But if you are calm, you'll be soft, it will be finished, in shā’ Allāh.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
105.ZAKĀH IS FOR CLEANING Tuesday, June 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.
There are 5 pillars of Islām. 3 of them are for worshipping, 2 of them for wealthy people - for people, who have money, it is obligatory. Zakāh and ḥajj aren't obligatory for poor people. When is it obligatory? When they have money for zakāh they should have money equivalent to 100 grams of gold over the period of one year. If it is 5-6 months it isn't obligatory yet. 8,9 months, until 12 months pass, you give 2,5% of that money.
2,5%. If you think about it, it is nothing. Zakāh cleans that wealth, cleans your money. It becomes ḥalāl. If not, your wealth is dirty. Even if one part of it is dirty, it spreads to all. Until you pay its right, that is Allāh's right; it is a right to be given to the poor. If you don't give that you commit various sins, you'll be in trouble. You think you win but you lose. You lose both spiritually, it is a big loss, and also materially because zakāh increases the wealth. Don't think that when you keep 2,5% you are making a profit. You lose more than that amount. Even if the barakah goes it is enough. When there is no barakah your wealth is useless.
Shayṭān makes a lot of tricks, deceives people. He doesn't not just try to deceive, but he deceives a lot. Most people openly leave the right way and go astray. After our Prophet (saw) tens of thousands of Arabs entered into Islām. Hundreds of thousands of people became Muslim. Our Prophet (saw) first ordered them zakāh. Sometimes they accepted. The ones, who didn't accept he fought against them until they accepted. In the end all of them accepted the zakāh. When they heard the passing away of the Prophet (saw), they said "we aren't giving zakāh. We are Muslims but won't give zakāh." Hz. Abu Bakir said; "Even if you give one penny less I'll fight with you." He fought. He cleaned all those, who went out from Islām. They all accepted zakāh and continued like that.
So zakāh is an important thing. It shouldn't be underestimated. The government takes a tax. The government's tax isn't yearly. As soon as you sell, they are on your back. If it was 2,5% everyone would thank Allāh. The government takes at least 20, 30 percent tax. Nobody says a word - "What is this?" People don't say anything, they give. But for Allāh's way, they don't give. Even if it is 0,5% it will be too much for people. That's why zakāh
is very important. It is for our benefit. It cleans our wealth and increases the barakah. May Allāh make us all give zakāh.
Like we said people, who have money are obliged to give zakāh. The poor aren't obliged to give. That's why we say Allāh gives us all, because poverty is a difficult thing. Hz. Ali says "if poverty were a man, I would kill him." Poverty is that difficult. Poverty isn't a good thing. So we pray that we have money and we give zakāh.
Today we speak about Islām they have 5 pillars, 3 for worshipping for everybody. But there is 2 for only who rich, or get enough money to do this. One of them is zakāh, second one ḥajj. For poor people not obligatory this, only for he has enough money, meaning rich, and this money it must be one year with you. Before one year no need for this. And it's around 100 grams of gold or more, they can calculate. And it is so small, only 2.5% from your money, if you have £100, it is only £2.5 you can pay. And it is very few, and it is not every time, only once a year. But even this shayṭān make it so big. People they are trying to not paying. Many people they are not paying. And they are cheating themselves.
This zakāh is to clean your money, to clean your fortune. But if you are not cleaning it, whole your money it will be dirty because this is not yours anymore. After one year 2.5% this is for Allāh and it is for poor people. If you keep it for yourself you are doing many wrong thing. First of them you become thief - steal money of poor people and take if for yourself. And this making you, gives you many bad things - from illness, taking barakah from your money, to be bad luck for your money, for your health even. For everything it is like poison. You must take it and give it. When you take it, it is becoming reward for you, helps you here and in ākhirah also.
It is very important and it is not so much. Because in our country here if you sell something or buy, they put VAT and others from VAT. There's many tax, maybe at least it is 25% tax in our country. In Europe, the most civilized, 80% tax like communist. But people they are not complaining for that, only complaining for 2.5% and it is only once a year. They are complaining and making it big. Shayṭān showing people it is too much, "why this, why we will pay this?" When you pay for government Allāh not reward you because He is not order. His order only for you to pay for His order 2.5%. For other we cannot say it is order from Allāh, if we say this we are liars and we can be punished because we say something Allāh He didn't say.
Only Allāh want from people and, it is if everybody doing this, it is enough, more than enough for whole poor people in the world. We know our brothers in Islām they have petrol, everyone they can give billion of zakāh, but they are not doing this. So Allāh is not oppressor as we said before also, He is our Creator. He knows what we can give, what we can do, what we cannot do. And we are asking Allāh, Allāh to make us able to
do this. Because to do this, you must have enough money. To have enough money, it is good, not bad. Poorness it is so bad, can make people, especially weak ego people, to make very wrong thing. For this Sayyidunā ‘Alī he was saying "if poorness, he was a man, I want to kill him, to finish from poorness." Of course this is what. Because his knowledge from Prophet (saws) and he knows how bad it is, poorness. Allāh give us to give, in shā’ Allāh
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
106.THE BATTLE OF BADR Wednesday, June 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.
Now it is the 17th of Ramaḍān. Mā shā’ Allāh it has been 17 days since Ramaḍān started. Ramaḍān is holy, everyday something nice happened. First, the Holy Qur’ān descended in Ramaḍān. Also in these days the battle of Badr took place. Our Prophet (sas) made a big war against the mushrikūn. By Allāh's wisdom, Allāh helped and they were victorious.
Our Prophet (saw) never gave up praying. Although there were many miracles Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, tested the believers. They were in the minority and didn't have enough weapons with them, no horses. They were on foot, not only on foot, some of them didn't have shoes or sandals. In those conditions, they showed their belief in Allāh. They fought with belief. Allāh helped them. They defeated all the non-believers. Our Prophet (saw) showed many miracles there. If he had wanted he could have killed all the soldiers immediately. It was nothing. Their number was 3 times that of the Muslims. Even if it was 3 thousand times more, doesn't matter as long as Allāh wants.
But Allāh's wisdom was to let people show their belief. They showed how much they loved the Prophet (saw) and Allāh. They jumped into death without even thinking. Allāh rewarded them. He (jj) gave them a good victory. He both gave victory and forgave the 313 companions' and the Prophet's past and future sins. Because normally people's past sins may be forgiven but not the future sins. He granted this only to those holy people. Allāh protected them from sins also in the future. They may have small mistakes but Allāh forgave them because they fought in that war.
Their names are also holy, with them comes blessings. If you mention their names or hang them in your house, it brings blessing. All the Muhājirūn, many from Anṣār, altogether 313 people were present. There were some companions, who weren't there. He left Hz. ‘Uthmān [in Medina] to take his place and also because Ruqayyah his holy daughter was sick. He (saw) left Hz. ‘Uthmān in Medina as his deputy and to take care of her. That's why he couldn't attend. On the way back, before the Prophet (saw) came back, his daughter Ruqayyah passed away. The others, in the front was Hz. ‘Alī, he faced the enemy first. Hz. Abū Bakr was in the Prophet's (saw) tent. He stayed with him (saw)
as a guard. Hz. ‘Umar also fought. Hz Ḥamzah, raḍī Allāhu ‘anhu, he killed most of the enemies.
So they were very holy people. That's why Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla made them the most distinguished companions. The companions also have levels, some are the most distinguished, after them come the good ones, after them are also considered companions but they aren't like the first ones who came. Holy Qur’ān says; "Lā yastawī minkum man anfaqa min qabli lfatḥi wa qātala." (57:10) The ones, who fought during war and spent money in the way of Allāh and the ones, who did it after the war, aren't the same. This shows us that the ranks of the companions change. The holiest ones are those who attended the Battle of Badr. May Allāh send their blessing on us, in shā’ Allāh, raise their ranks, and their support comes for us. .
Today - 17th of Ramaḍān. Ramaḍān is a holy month, everyday is another occasion, another good memory for Ramaḍān. Especially in Ramaḍān, Holy Qur’ān was sent in Ramaḍān. And this day, the day of the first battle, war between believers and between non-believers. It is very holy war, because first before, it wasn't allowed to fight in Islām until coming to Medina and these non-believers still trying to finish Islām and Prophet (saws). Allāh give the permission and order to fight.
So, what happened it was trying to cut the way of trade for Quraysh for Damascus and there was one caravan coming by Abū Sufyān. And he asked from Mecca - it was that time nonbelievers Quraysh was that time kāfir. And they quickly running to help him. But he was very, very clever, he ran away. He said no need to war, to come to fight.
But these old dinosaurs of Quraysh was very proud. No they said: "we will go, we will take singer, we will cut camels, we will drink alcohol, and we will fight with this small group of people and finish this problem to be rest." They were coming like this, with every badness. And they were telling Prophet (saws). Prophet said "when we are intending to go we cannot run away, in sha’ Allāh, we will meet them and fight them." And it was, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. They meeting and they finish all this oppressor. The most oppressor people, most stubborn people, most wild people, 70 of them they finish them.
And they won many thing from this because they run away other people they left what there was with them. It [spoils] was for Prophet and the ṣaḥābah who are fighting with him. It was too many miracles in this war. Even before beginning war, Prophet (saws) was going around with ṣaḥābah and telling "in this area this place Abū Jahl he will be killed." This will be other one. In this place..." and it was exactly where he was showing same place they were killed. Many things like this. And they were fighting but Allāh (awj) make them test for them, not help them to finish quickly. No just like normal people but with strength and no fear. Brave! And they were, al-ḥamdu liLlāh.
There were of course angels also were with them, they were not fighting they were just afraid [scaring] these non-believer people. Because write in Qur’ān they telling- Allāh give 1000 of angels, and some of this kāfir even when they come to Makkah, Makkah people they were blaming them "O you are strong and there was nothing in this, how you run away?" He said, one of them, said "don't blame us, what we saw in this horse and horse and there were angels if you, you would die from afraid [fear]."
But this angel, of course one angel can finish all of them, but Allāh (awj) make it "sunnatu Llāh". What meaning? Normal condition for people, they must fight, they must kill, must be killed to be shahīd. Like this.
And, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, it was very holy battle, very holy war and it was in Ramaḍān around these days, I think 17 or these 2-3 days preparation. After they were fighting and they won. And they won they were very poor and they take many things from this, because the others they come with everything. Maybe more than 1000 camels, horses, food, everything there was coming they take - Muslims. But the more important for this army, holy army they were praised by Allāh. They are all this army, accept holy army. Allāh said "I forgive you for what you've done and what you will do." This it is not for everybody, it was only for Prophet (saws) and for these 313 ṣaḥābah.
All, big ṣaḥābah they were there except Sayyidinā ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān he was in Madīnah, he was looking for niyābatan on behalf, like governor before, and because his wife, daughter of Prophet (saws) Ruqayyah (as) she was ill and so Prophet said "be with her". And she passed away before Prophet (saws) coming [back] So these people, more important for them what Allāh praised them, and they're the highest station for companion of Prophet (saws).
Companion of Prophet (saws) also degrees, the highest degree 10 people they were good tiding with Paradise, ‘ashara mubashara'. After these - 313. After of course like this, but ṣaḥābah many ṣaḥābah, they have degree. And it is shown in Qur’ān. Allāh was saying in Qur’ān, there was people who was fighting and giving their money before opening Makkah, they are better from other. After conquer of Makkah. So it was like this because 100, more than 100.000 ṣaḥābah, all they have a different level. The highest level as we said these 313 people. They are blessed, we ask du‘ā’ in du‘ā’ also in Qaṣīdah, for the sake of them to give, Allāh to ask for what we want. Allāh bless them, Allāh make us to be blessed with their soul, in shā’ Allāh

107.THE RELIGION OF MERCY Thursday, June 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 ṭarīqah orders us to be together in an assembly and sohbet. What does Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla order us? Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Inna Llāha ya’muru bil-‘adli wal-iḥsāni wa ītā’i dhī l-qurbá wa yanhá ‘ani l-faḥshā’i wal-munkari walbaghyi ya‘iẓukum la‘allakum tadhakkarūna." (16:90). Allāh orders goodness and justice, to take care of relatives, orders all kinds of goodness. The religion of Islām is Allāh's order. It is whatever He (jj) orders. He never orders badness. He tells us to stay away from it. Now in the end of times we see a lot of groups in the world, who claim to be Muslims. None of them keep this order. They do the opposite but say "We are Muslims", they tell people, "this is Islām". Non-Muslims are happy about it - They say "Look this is Islām. Islām is a bad religion, wild religion. It orders badness." It is all lies. It has nothing to do with it. In Allāh's Book, Islām orders goodness with the word of Allāh. Islām never orders badness - shayṭān orders that, shayṭān and his followers follow their ego.
In the old times most people - Muslims, Christians lived together in the Islamic world. There was tolerance in Islamic world. But non-Muslim countries never had Muslim communities. They either forced them to change their religion, killed them, or they had to run away. In the Islamic world it continues the same way since the time of the Prophet (saw). During that time, people, who saw the beauty of Islām, who understood it was the right religion, Christians and Jews, converted to Islām because they were also expecting the Prophet (saw). Allāh gave their hearts guidance. They were converting because of small things. One man, his daughter heard about Islām. Love of Allāh and Islām entered her heart and she insisted on becoming a Muslim. But the man was not Muslim. He didn't want her to be a Muslim. He was sorry, "How will my daughter be a Muslim?" Whereas the reality is it is the continuation of the same religion.
No matter how much he talked, it had no effect. Then a mu’adhdhin came to the mosque nearby. His voice was so ugly, a crow is like a sparrow compared to him. He started calling adhān. His daughter changed her mind in one week. She began to dislike Islām. "What is this? They said "adhān." What adhān is this?" "He calls people to pray in the mosque." "If it is like this, there is no need. " Out of happiness, her father took two sacks
of gold and went to the mu’adhdhin. "Take it. May Allāh be pleased with you. You did a good job, you saved us."
It is the same now, people, who say they are Muslims and think they are doing good for Islām, they are discrediting Islām knowingly or unknowing. They make people escape from Islām.
Islām is beauty, goodness - nothing else. Anyone, who says something else is a liar, hypocrite, they follow their ego. Allāh doesn't order anything other than goodness, mercy. Allāh creates various excuses to forgive people. They insist that everyone will go to hell. May Allāh give them good understanding.
Allāh (awj), in our Ṭarīqah to make ṣuḥbah and to be with good people. And it is essence of Islām, Allāh ordered the āyah, every Jum‘ah we read this, "Inna Llāha ya’muru bil- ‘adli wa liḥsāni wa ītā’i dhī l-qurbá wa yanhá ‘ani l-faḥshā’i wa l-munkari wa l-baghyi ya‘iẓukum la‘allakum tadhakkarūna" (16:90) Allāh orders all goodness, justice to be with family, to be with friends, to be with good people, to be mercy for people. And He prevent to oppress people, to take anything from people, to make to be tyrant on people. This is forbidden in Islām. And who is saying another thing it is from themselves, from shayṭān.
Shayṭān can show you black one as white one and it is his cheating people. But for Islām never be wrong, or ordering anything wrong. Ordering everything good, everything right, everything beautiful; every nice thing, it is order of Allāh for people. To be happy here and hereafter -this is order of Allāh. But these days there's many different groups. They are showing Islām as the worst religion. These people and, there's unfortunately, we can say here - who are not in Islām, all now in this time in secret or appearance, they are attacking Islām. And it is play of shayṭān. They are controlled by shayṭān, these who are attacking Islām. And these people who are claiming who are Muslims, and they real Muslims and doing the worst for human being, before [not just] human being, for Muslims they are doing the worst. These people are helping these non-believer people to... because people...
Allāh make Islām like from habit of human beings - Fiṭratu l-Islām (their nature). In everyone there is Islām until ... All children they have their Islām. After when they're growing up their family they change them. But normally for all human beings, their Islām is inside (innate) and they like to be Islām, and it is very big afraid from non- Muslim people to be [that] their follower becoming Islām. And they find these people to make more people and saying "Islām, as you are saying monster, afraid." And it was like this, before in old times also. Islām and non-Muslims they were living in Muslim countries together. And they have rights, more than Muslim even in our country. Non- Muslim under Muslim Sulṭān, they have everything free for them, worshipping, doing
their court, doing their customs - everything free for them. They were living together in peace with Muslims. But it was for non-Muslim countries, it was not like this at all. You cannot find anything in non-Muslim country, even they change by force religion, even they killed them, even they take them out from their country, exile. They make this for millions, for Muslims and for even Christians who are not following them and for Jewish also, they throw all of them. But Muslim it is country, since Prophet (saws) they have special situation. And they can be free how they like to be.
And this time many of these non-Muslims they're interested about Islām, many of them become Muslim also. Because Islām it is not different from Christianity or Jewish, Judaism - it is the same. It coming from same place, one after one coming. So many of them were becoming Muslim. And once, one rich man non-Muslim he has a daughter and she is interested about Islām. And when asking, asking, she was nearly becoming Muslim. She was very happy to be Muslim. And this man he was very sad about this, he bring priest, he bring scholar from his religion to tell this girl this is not good, this is our religion better. And she was insisting. In that time there was a mosque near there they come a new mu’adhdhin, calling for prayer mu’adhdhin, adhān, 5 times a day. And his voice, he was so terrible - so it is crow it is nice bird comparing to him. He beginning 1, 2, 3, and she was asking "what is this?" They said "adhān, they are calling for prayer the Muslim Mosque." She said "what this man like this, I don't want to be anymore Muslim." She finished, and her father he was very happy. He bring two bags full of gold and give it to this mu’adhdhin - "thank you very much, you've done for me the best thing. Take this for you."
And nowadays our people are exactly like this. They're making people to run away. Even Muslim they try some of them to run away from these people also. Allāh gives them good understanding. But the important thing here to say - Islām only ordering nice things. It is religion of mercy, and Allāh (awj) He wants people to be in safe, specially for ākhirah, and He forgives for He has big forgiveness for everybody and He not like these people what they are doing, showing Allāh not forgiving anybody. Allāh He is forgive. He said 100 times you can do wrong I also 100 times I forgive you. This is our Lord, the Most Merciful. al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh make these people to understand this, to not be, to make a little bit head not like a rock to be like human being head, in shā’ Allāh

Thanks to Allāh, Everyday it becomes apparent that the best way is the way that Allāh shows. 150-200 years ago during the last days of the Ottomans, 150 years ago I guess, some people came out saying : "This government is useless, we have to fix it, how shall we reform it?" Everyday people learn new things, new sciences emerge, many things come out to make life better, so that the government gets stronger. The Ottomans were a bit underdeveloped in terms of technology. But if Allāh helps them, technology is useless. But at that time the devil deceived people. "Look you are underdeveloped, look how far Europe went, how strong they are. You are getting weak. We certainly need to reform the government, bring new sciences."
Since that time they run after Europe like crazy. Europe is like a wolf. You go there like a sheep, will the non-believers show mercy to you? They divided and conquered as they liked. In the end they made the Ottoman Empire into 40 countries. That isn't important. Important is that they destroyed people's belief. Europe had knowledge, new sciences. That's why people in Ottoman times went there, to learn sciences. What did they learn there? They learned philosophy, disgrace. They didn't learn science. They brought opera, theatre, music, songs, etc. They started not liking their own culture. There had to be a piano, they sang like opera. They saw themselves as inferior.
In fact our culture, civilisation was the highest. This is the civilisation, that Allāh put. The system order, sharī‘ah that Allāh gave is the best. There is everything in the sharī‘ah of Islām. The Ottoman Empire and civilisation lasted 700 years. Everywhere, everything was organized in the smallest detail how it should be done - both written and verbally. They destroyed this. They said "We'll bring science". "Ok bring". "How will you make new inventions, strengthen the army, strengthen the fleet?" They didn't bring any of this, they only brought disgrace. This is disbelief, nothing else. Denying Allāh, they brought nothing except denial of the religion. That's why millions of peopl
