Suhbah 2016: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (15/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5459
like to talk a little bit about Bībī Fāṭimah. You know our Prophet gave her so much respect and regard, but unfortunately she died quite sad and disappointed. And she faced opposition. Why is this? S: There is many thing for this. She is, because she was the most beloved for Prophet (saws), she was very sad, very sensitive and she couldn't more than six months live after Prophet (saws). Because he (saws) told her when he was ill, "I will pass away." And she was very sad.
He told her good tiding for her "you will be with me after, the first one, you will be with me." So she was like this, very sensitive and small thing happened at that time, she was...because ṣaḥābah (ra) they are good, but to make...it was test, it was really difficult, because the order of the Prophet and this sensitivity of Sayyidatinā Fāṭimah... So it was very difficult for them, but for order of Prophet (saws) they preferred to do it and she
was disappointed for this. But Allāh reward her and she will be in shā’a Llāh happy, very happy because she's the first one who went to Prophet (saws). It is little bit thing in dunyā we cannot... She was whole life suffering from dunyā, so after Prophet (saws) also this happened for her just to make her higher in her degree. So, no need to make it something big for to curse any ṣaḥābah or to say wrong thing for ṣaḥābah.
Q: What has been her role and the role of Bībī Zaynab in keeping the religion pure? What has been their contribution? S: She is the mother of all Ahlu l-Bayt, the generation (descendants) of Prophet (saws). This is enough, and she was like mother for Prophet, even she's daughter but she was like mother, yes. She had big, very big role. She's named after ṣaḥābah she's coming, Ḥasan, Ḥusayn, Sayyidatinā Fāṭimah. She is very huge
Q: And also Bībī Zaynab? S: Bībī Zaynab, but she's ... Fāṭimah the best.
Q: But even Bībī Zaynab she went against and took on the authorities and challenged them, being a woman and, you know. How important was that, for us as Muslims, her example - that she stood up and spoke out against what she thought was wrong at the time? S: After Karbalā’, this is another subject. Sayyidatinā Fāṭimah's role another subject. Sayyidatinā Zaynab also big thing, but at that time what happened it was wrong. And it was against - the fitnah beginning from there...from not from... It is long story but it is really sad thing happened, very wrong thing happened at that time. For Islām especially, because this not accepting the highness of Prophet (saws). We said they're making as they are the highest position in Quraysh. So it was really difficult. It is long thing to explain here. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh He honour them and now everywhere millions of people visiting her, but who make wrong for them, nobody visit them, nobody asking about them.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim had told me that Hz Abū Bakr said that he was keeping the amānah of Bībī Fāṭimah to give to Imām Mahdī. What is this amānah? S: Spiritual amānah, spiritual thing, because she has big because Sayyidinā al-Mahdī also is from her grandsons. So from Prophet (saws), to grand, his grand-mother Bībī Fāṭimah, he will take it when he appears in shā’a Llāh.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim always praised his wife, your mother, Hj Anne, saying that she is a great spiritual power and spiritual support for him. What is this.. what is the kind of spiritual support that she was giving him? S: Because she is also one of 40 big Awliyā’- arba‘īn we call it, because there is seven of them ladies. This 40 awliyā’ every time they have. When somebody pass away another coming. Seven of them women, one of them Hj Anne. From this she was supporting.
And supporting also in life. Because when he was married to her, going everywhere and she was not, she encouraging to go for give people blessing and to guide them to right way. She is not complaining at all and she was looking for the house and children. So he was also support by to be not worried for his house. And especially for spiritual support also.
Q: The power of the feminine, spiritual feminine, seems to be kind of hidden and not really so much talked about or understood. Is this understanding going to be part of the spiritual awakening in the future - the power of the female spirituality? S: If you like if you see when you go anywhere, the ladies they are more than men. For ziyārah (visiting maqāms), for praying, it is more but they're, Allāh gave them role to make good people. For her family or for another, their role it is big. They are the first teacher for men - big thing, like Bībī Fāṭimah, like other. So it is not what, feminine [feminists] they are saying "we don't have anything." No they have the biggest thing. They bring all this big people, Prophet (sas). Sayidatinā Āminah, her son Prophet (sas) - it is not enough? All these Awliyā’u Llāh they have mothers, all they must be pure people, good people.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim used to say that the current flows with the two points, so the man and the woman, the male energy the female energy has to come together to become the real power. Is this the secret that they have to sort of work together to become more powerful? S: Sometimes like this. Many times they cannot - they must suffer from this also.
Q: Not everybody is so lucky. S: Yes, yes.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim called Halā Sulṭān, his Sulṭāna. Is it possible for a woman to be a Sulṭān of men? S: Of course these ṣaḥābah all, we call them Sulṭān - Ayūb Sulṭān. We call them in our tradition we call all ṣaḥābah - Sulṭān. So she is Sulṭāna mā shā’a Llāh.
Q: Imām Mahdī and Jesus are supposed to come together. Could this also be something like this coming together of male female balance? Somehow is this part of bringing harmony to the world? S: At that time it is only by miracle coming, not by normal thing, male or female. Only miracle time at that time. No need for this, because it is only short period. After it will be Judgement or Qiyāmah. Because no time to make harmony to make this, only very short time.
Q: This will be instantly, everything will just shift overnight or very quickly. That they
will appear and everything will just fall into place? Q: Because the time will finish then the time for people to make amends or to say sorry it will be over. S: Yes, maybe one months, five months, eight months one year - normally it must be one year, but if time no time, Prophet (saws) he said in one day, also it can all be all this.
Q: Thank you Shaykh Mehmet. S: In sha Allāh, Allāh makes it very near to meet him in shā’a Llāh, all people meet him in shā’a Llāh. Allāh. Shāhidu l-Ḥaqq.

131.EVERYONE IS A SHEPHERD Sunday, July 17, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
In the way that the Prophet (saw) showed us, everybody has a responsibility. Nobody should say: "I don't have responsibility." Everybody has a responsibility, from top to bottom. In this country or wherever you may live, you have a responsibility in your community. The Prophet (saw) says; "Kullukum rā‘in, wa kullukum mas’ūlun ‘an ra‘īyatihi." - "You are all shepherds. Everybody is responsible for his flock."
Your sulṭān is like your shepherd, he will be asked about you. After that, a man is responsible for his family, his house - to take care of them, to listen to their problems. Because a shepherd looks at what the flock needs. A woman is responsible for her house. She is responsible for her husband, children, managing the house, serving, things to do. A man, who works for someone or for a house is responsible for his duty, he shouldn't betray him. He works for his benefit. He takes his wage according to that. He lives in that way.
The Prophet's way is the way of happiness. It is the way of contentment. If everybody did their work carefully there wouldn't be any problem among people. But of course not everybody does. Especially in this time, that we call the end of times, everybody wants to run away from responsibility. They don't want to do anything. "Let someone else do it, I want to look". Everywhere is full of laziness. When someone doesn't move, they get lazy. Laziness is a bad habit. If you get used to being lazy you are in loss. Allāh and the Prophet (saw) don't like laziness. The saints don't like it. You need to get himmah against laziness. If a lazy person sleeps - you sleep enough, if you sleep too much it is not good for you. Everything is arranged to make people lazy in this time. All the devices are made for that purpose. Instead of taking care of his house, a man sits at a cafe with bad friends and makes nonsense conversations. He says bad things and sins.
The way of our Prophet (saw) gives people enlightenment. Other ways give darkness, oppression, and unhappiness. May Allāh keep us on the right way in shā’a Llāh. We should be careful and listen to the Prophet's (saw) advice because when children see it in the family, they also take responsibility. When they have a family in the future they will act the same. These nice traditions are carried from generation to generation. If they
witness bad things they think it is normal. "We live like this, continue like this" they say and continue so. The Prophet (saw) says it is the most important thing. Both the wife and the husband have a big responsibility. May Allāh protect us from the harm of these evils.
Prophet (saws) he showed us the way of light, how to be happy here and hereafter. For dunyā, he said everybody he has a responsibility. Hadith saying, oh, everybody he is rā‘i - rā‘i meaning shepherd - and he is responsible for his flock. Sulṭān is the biggest shepherd he is responsible for all of country. After him, everybody come less and less until coming for man he has been responsible for his family, to look after his house, after his family. And wife of house, she is also shepherd. She is responsible for children, for her house, to run the house and for her husband, to give good thing for them. Because shepherd he is running after his flock to help them.
Because this, Prophet (saws) he showed us very good example. The flock, they are not so responsible, you must be careful for them. You must look for them, help them, serve them to be good benefit for you, for them also. If you are not good shepherd, your flock they will be most of them maybe run away, some of them wolf eat them, some of them they will be tiny not eating anything. So it will be miserable. But if you are good shepherd, your.. who are you responsible for them, they will be all good. And who is serving, also he is responsible for his Master. He must look after his work, after his business and to make his Master happy with him. To not be, lose his money. Because if he lose money, there is for this servant also no work.
So every person in this community in country, they have responsibility. Don't think we are coming just to, no responsibility for people. But these days people they don't like responsibility. They make everything from technology to make people lazy and not to carry any responsibility. And laziness it is not good habit. Allāh not like it, Prophet (saws) not like it, Awliyā’u Llāh also not like it. They like to be hard-working, to not be lazy. Laziness is coming from shayṭān. Even from laziness - most people not praying, not worshipping from laziness. And this time, this end of time, they have everything to make people to be lazy. But when in house this responsibility everybody doing what Prophet (saws) saying, who are living in house they will learn it is good and we must do this. Mother, father they are doing. Who are growing in this house, when they married and go in other place, they will be also same. Good people, teaching their children. Other also like this and it will, if it is like this whole community it is good.
But most of people they don't like responsibility, they don't have, they are not doing what they must do. For this it is like this, this world. When small, small, small coming, strong building coming. But if not it is just some of them good, some of them not good. They are complaining after, people also they are complaining for their children, for their family. But it is their responsibility they are not doing. After they want from other people to help them. First they must help themselves, to correct themselves, to be careful for
their family. After it will be everything better, in shā’a Llāh. Because this is way of Prophet (saws). He showed us the best way for life. Happiness to follow order of Prophet, because here you will be happy and in the next life also you will be happy. Allāh help us to follow his order, in shā’a Llāh.

132.ALLĀH DOES WHAT HE WANTS Monday, July 18, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
In shā’a Llāh, we ask goodness of everything from Allāh. People want, Allāh does what He wants. "Anta turīd wa anā urīd wa Llāhu yaf‘alu mā yurīd". These are the words of great people. "You want, I want, Allāh does what He wants." Allāh, Allāh Almighty He is absolutely Able. Everything is in His hands. Nothing goes out of His order. Everybody is at His command. Do as you like but Allāh does what He wants. He decides when everything will happen.
In shā’a Llāh, we want what Allāh wants. Our ego is sad when what it wants doesn't happen. But we pray to Allāh to do the best for us. Many things seem bad but are actually good. Some things seem good but are actually bad. That's why we ask for goodness from Allāh. May Allāh give us all kinds of goodness, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has control over people's hearts. He turns them whenever He wants, to wherever He wants. Don't think anything happens by your effort, by your mind. It is with Allāh's order.
If you trust in Allāh, ask from Allāh, it happens. If you want for your ego, the result is loss. What you want should be what Allāh accepts, not things that follow your ego. Want what Allāh wants and Allāh decrees. No matter how clever you are, if Allāh wants, in one moment, Allāh gets you out of the way and you end up exhausted. If He wants, in one hour. Everything is in Allāh's hands. Nothing is in your control, in human's control. Everything is under Allāh's control. We say "May He give us goodness". In shā’a Llāh, people's hearts turn towards Allāh. This is what Mawlānā said - we want this. Don't lose hope. Always invite people to goodness, work for goodness. If it works, it works. If not, still you'll be rewarded. But if you work for your ego, even if it happens, it isn't for your good. If it doesn't happen, it still isn't good. You should always think of Allāh, don't forget Him. This is dhikr. Fadhakkir is remembrance. Of course there is the dhikr, but Allāh should always be with you. Say "We want what Allāh wants". In shā’a Llāh, what we want is to be away from our egos.
There is, Allāh He do everything for He our Creator and He is absolute able to do anything, no negotiation for this. There is saying of great people, Awliyā’u Llāh, in Arabic "Anta turīd wa anā urīd wa Llāhu yaf‘alu mā yurīd." This what meaning? "You
want something and I want something, everyone wants different thing but Allāh He does what He wants .
So we must put our, what we want, to be according to Allāh Almighty's will, what He wants. We must look for what He wants and to follow what He wants, to not be following opposite of what Allāh orders, what He wants. Because everything is in His holy will. You cannot, as much as you are clever, you are doing everything, if Allāh He doesn't want it you cannot succeed.
People they ask how this non-believer or atheist they succeed? This also from His will. Allāh's will to make it a test for people or to make them to be more proud, to be more...to get more punishment in ākhirah. In Qur’ān He said even - "I can do for them a house from silver." (43:33) in dunyā. For whom? For these non-believers to make them more against, to make them test for people, to give them punishment, more punishment. So everything, Allāh what He wants we must be accepting, to be satisfied with what He give us. Many times, we want something it is not good for us, you... it appear it is very good for us, but when it happens it will be very bad for us. Sometimes very bad things can happen and people not happy, but at the end they will be happy with this, because Allāh He gives us the best. We must accept this. It's in Qur’ān also saying same thing - you'll be...don't be objecting for anything from Allāh. Everything is in His holy will.
These days it is difficult days, so we must be carful and to be give ourselves to what Allāh wills. He likes to do, we are happy with this, we must say. He created us in this time, it is difficult time, but it is also very blessed for believers, who are catching the real way of Allāh and Prophet (saws). These are the days what the Prophet was saying, who catching his religion as he catches fire in his hand. Because the real believer they are attacked from every people, everywhere. From shayṭān and his followers, they attack them from everywhere. But we mustn't be sad, we must be happy, Allāh He created us in this time and He is giving more rewards for us. We are accepting what Allāh gives us and, in shā’a Llāh, our will is with Allāh's will. Allāh make us to be satisfied with this, to not be from who's not accepting this. Because if you're accepting, if you not accept, you are in this so you must accept this situation and be satisfied in yourself, you have peace in your heart.
If you are afraid, your belief it is not so strong. You must be... Allāh is with us, He never left us and He is, everything will finish, Allāh still as He was. No changing, nothing for Him. The only [ones] changing [are] people. And who was with Allāh, he will be in next life also, after finish this life, after it is finished. In shā’a Llāh, next life, real life, it will be...real good for these believers, strong believer. But if they are happy here also, they will be more better for them, to not be all the time stressed in this world. Just leave yourself for Allāh's will. You want, I want, Allāh He does what He wants.

133.THINK ONLY GOOD Wednesday, July 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.
What advice did our Prophet (sas) give us? Our Prophet (saw) advises all goodness. When you read a ḥadīth, in Arabic, you have to say it as it is. We don't remember exactly. Let's say it in Turkish. "O son, from morning till evening, from evening till morning, don't leave goodness. Don't think badness about anyone. You should do this." says the Prophet (saw). When you do this, you are a Muslim. "Al-muslimu man salima l- muslimūna min lisānihi wa yadihi" We couldn't say it properly. It means a Muslim doesn't harm, people are safe from his tongue and his hand. This is a Muslim. This is what the Prophet (saw) says. A Muslim should never think badness for anyone. He shouldn't harm anyone, he should think like this from morning till evening, from evening till morning; thinking "I shouldn't harm anyone, I shouldn't give pain to anyone". He should keep this good manner from morning till evening, from evening till morning. This is a Muslim. A Muslim is someone, who doesn't harm anyone. If you obey the Prophet's (saw) order, you'll be with him (saw), he'll (saw) love you. If you think of harming people, from morning till evening, from evening till morning, the Prophet (saw) doesn't love you, Allāh doesn't love you.
Ask goodness. Allāh ordered us goodness, beauty. If you do good, you'll find good. If all your life passes with goodness, hereafter also will be in goodness You'll be with the Prophet (saw) in the hereafter. If you think badness in the world you'll be with shayṭān, nothing else. Who is happy when people go astray? Shayṭān is happy. Good people aren't happy. When somebody makes a mistake, goes astray, good people are sad, they aren't happy. "These people also went astray, how nice. These are bad people." Nobody says this. His heart burns and says; "We thought they were good people, why did they do something like this?" Good people become so sad. Shayṭān is happy, celebrates. We want everyone in the way of Allāh, we want them to do goodness. This is the Prophet's (saw) order. Think goodness for everyone. Prophet (saws) he ordered us every good thing. There is ḥadīth I read. In Arabic when you say ḥadīth, you must say it exactly what you write. Because ḥadīth, if you change, you cannot fix it. So it is for Arabic you must say it correct but for to make it English or other language, you can say -"it is something like this." Qur’ān, even you make it wrong it is not like ḥadīth, because Qur’ān it is
preserved so you cannot change. So maybe sometimes making wrong when you read you say something wrong but it is no matter, correct. But for ḥadīth...
So we are saying we read ḥadīth, Prophet (saws) saying "O boy if you can to be from morning to evening, and from evening to morning thinking only good, do this." This is small ḥadīth but it is very important. Every ḥadīth important, but it is also... When people thinking it is enough to be good Muslim to be good human being for whole life. Only we like and to think from morning to evening, to look what is the good thing, what is, how to make Prophet (saws) happy, how it is good thing to do. It is important, and from night to morning also to think only good thing also, very important thing. Makes ourself to be a pure, real Muslim. Muslim meaning - Prophet (saws) - who makes people to be safe from his hand, from his tongue, from everything - no harm from Muslim. Muslim meaning peaceful man. Not like what people now, when they say Muslim they are thinking he is beast. No, it is opposite, it is meaning peaceful one, Muslim. And Prophet (saws) teaching us to do this - not to think any bad thing for people, not to do any bad thing for people. He said do this if you can do, because it is also not easy to do for everybody, but we try, in shā’a Llāh. And we are happy to see good people and to think good thing for people. We are not happy to see bad people, bad action from people who are claiming they are believer or Muslim or other... Others, we don't care about them because we know them. But this what we care more, and we are sorry for them, who are people claiming and making bad things. We are not feeling happiness for this. We are not happy to see "O this man he become bad man, we must be happy." No we cannot be.
Even in Islām also no envious. Some maybe envious people they are happy for this, but we are not. Never teaching of Prophet (saws), teaching of Awliyā’u Llāh, ṭarīqah. Only to be happy to save people from bad way, from bad thing, from hell. This is what they try to do. Who is happy with people who are not in right way, leaving right way, going wrong way? Shayṭān only is happy. He is very, very happy. Every time somebody going out from right way to wrong way, he makes...celebrates. And... who following him, they are also happy. Muslims cannot be happy with bad thing or to see bad people. We are happy to save all human beings from bad way. We like them to be in safe and blessed way. This is Prophet's (saws) order - "to think good from morning to evening, from evening to morning." Don't think any bad thing for people, only be happy when you save somebody or to see good thing happen for people who are out of way to come into right way. Allāh help us to help people to come in right way in shā’a Llāh.

134.BE PREPARED FOR DEATH Thursday, July 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.
Our Prophet (saw) said: "people get old but by two things stay young." You aren't aware you are old. What are these two things? One is the love of the world, loving whatever there is in the world. You think you are young, you don't think you are old. Whatever is in the world, possessions - that love won't end just because people got old. There is no such thing. It doesn't end. You can control that love of the world only by training the ego. "Now I'm young, I love the world, I want to have everything. I won't do anything, when I get old." Sometimes as you get older, it comes out more; there may be more love of the world.
The second one is hope, it means "ṭūlu l-amal". People think they will live more. They don't say: "we got old, we have to pray more, remember Allāh more". So, "ṭūlu l-amal" - hope - they think they'll never die. But you are old. That you are approaching the place where everybody is going, is clear. So pull yourself together. Be for Allāh. Go in the way of Allāh and the Prophet (saw). "We aren't that old now, we'll live more, we'll pray later. If they are praying, I'll do ḥajj later. We are 60 years old, we can do ḥajj when we are 70, 80.If we make ḥajj, we won't have any sins." That is also hope. But Allāh gave us a life, hope won't make it longer. Do everything as if it will end soon. When you have no hope, you say I do them all at once, so I gain my ākhirah. Like that it has to be continuous.
You have to do good, thinking "We can go evening or morning, how will I face Allāh in the ākhirah?" This is what the Prophet (saw) says and he (saw) is truthful, trustworthy. Every word he (saw) says is the truest. Everybody has this. They have, but the Prophet (saw) says it to train it. Be careful to use these qualities in a way that it serves Allāh. Do everything for Allāh's sake.
Prophet (saws) he is saying, and he is the most perfect saying. What he said: there is two things in human beings, even when human being is getting old, very old even, these two things still, people... in people it is like young." As much as he is old, he thinks he is still young. What are these two things? First love of this life, enjoyment of this life - property,
car, land, money, everything. Old people they are...don't think they are saying: "we are old, we don't want anymore." Maybe sometimes they want more than young. Why? Because the secret of this, Prophet (saws) is saying, they still think young in their mind. "We are still, we can live many (years) and we need this, we must collect, we must take more, and more, and more." And it is not good because we are not created only for love of collecting money, collecting land, collecting property or what. We will leave this and we [go] for ākhirah. And it is seeing also old - they will be not thinking for this. Why? Prophet (saws) saying, this feeling still not changing in human being, feeling young. For this they want more and more.
Second one, what feeling is still young, is hope, long hope. Hope - not feeling even they are old, they say "we still we will live. We will not die." Even they are not thinking about dying. Only thinking for life. Even, Mawlānā was saying, there is a saying in Turkish "One leg in hole, hole meaning grave, and still they are not feeling this, not doing good thing, not obeying Allāh, not making charity or to do anything. No they not thinking at all. In our ṭarīqah, everyday you must think seven times for death. It is when you waking up - maybe we cannot reach evening we say. When in nighttime you sleep, maybe we cannot wake up. All life, Allāh He give us our life and He [appoint] a certain time for us. So, to be long hope we will live many years, it is not from teaching of Islām, or teaching of ṭarīqah.
Every time we must say "we be ready to be in front of Divine Presence of Allāh and we must be in good condition, not to be ashamed of what we do in our life." Who are saying, "Oh we will live too much, maybe I'm now 70 years, after 10 years I can go to ḥajj and all my sin it will go." Allāh knows you will be maybe one hour later you will die. You don't know. You don't have guarantee for this. So, we must be ready. Prophet (saws) saying these two things for desire of human being, for everybody this. But we must make it, trim it, to make it good for our way, way of Prophet (saws). When we, in shā’a Llāh, meet him, to be not ashamed in front of him, to be happy, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh help us, all of us.

135.ARMAGEDDON MUST COME Friday, July 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.
The time, the time that Allāh appointed to the nation, to the sons of Ādam (as), is coming to its end. At the end of this time there will be the Judgement Day. Before that, there are the signs of the Judgement Day. One of them is Armageddon. There will be a big war. There were two wars in the last century, First World War, Second World War. This is the third and the biggest. Now if you look it has started slowly. Since a couple of years the third world war has started. Because not only us but also the people, who don't believe in the Prophet (saw) they also know, they call it Armageddon. They know it will happen but they think they will be saved by their cunning. They say "Let's start this among the ignorant people". That's why you see in Islamic countries, everywhere people kill each other, they fight, they make war.
People were surprised, last Friday we made sohbet and dhikr, we prayed. There was the news in the evening. People are still shocked - "how can it be?" These are the signs of the third world war. They make people their own soldiers, actually the soldiers of shayṭān, they create wars in Islāmic countries. Like we said this is the third world war, the sign of the end of times. Mawlānā used to tell about it. He said it would be in the month of Shawwāl. He used to say: Shawwāl tará l-ahwāl. We heard this since childhood. Ahwāl means very bad things. The month of Shawwāl is a heavy month. It really is. Don't say how these things happen? What has started between non-believers and the Islamic world is the third world war. There is khayr in everything. No need to be afraid. This is known since the beginning. The Prophet (saw) talked about these issues.
Armageddon will come. In the end islām will be victorious. Mahdī (as) will appear and make all the world Muslim. At that time you'll either be Muslim or leave this world. There is no way. "Wa qul jā’a l-ḥaqqu wa zahaqa l-bāṭilu" (17:81) Truth has come. Because since the time of the Prophet (saw) until now, they didn't leave Islām to be at peace. Not once, twice - hundred thousand times, hundred million times they attacked Islām. They attacked Islām whenever possible. Without being ashamed, they show themselves as innocent, harmless as if they have got nothing to do with it. Allāh knows, everybody knows. People aren't as stupid as they think. They are aware of everything but they don't
have power in their hands, they can't make their voices heard. That's something else. They themselves did what they liked until now.
When Mahdī (as) comes, like we said - not now, there is no order at the moment. You can't act independently, according to your mind. We have ūlū l-amr as authority, we are at their command. You have to keep their orders. If you rebel against him, you'll rebel against Allāh, the Prophet (saw). Because nobody saw him committing a sin it means his sin is not seen. He does what Allāh says. What else do we want? It means Allāh loves this nation, He (jj) sent them a good man as their head. We see around, so many leaders, dictators, oppressors came as their head. They ruled for 40, 50, 60 years, people couldn't say anything. Because they are the soldiers of the shayṭān, the world is happy with them, even if people are not happy with them. If someone comes out, saying Allāh, he is the biggest enemy. They make fabricated news everywhere. Ignorant people believe. Don't believe in an ignorant man's words. If he says something "Wa-idhā khāṭabahumu l- jāhilūna qālū salāman" (25:63) if ignorant people do something, say "as-salāmun ‘alaykum", meaning "goodbye. I can't talk to you. You go and talk with ignorant ones like yourself." Talking with an ignorant one brings darkness. It gives darkness to your heart. Don't deal with them. The best answer you can give is to ignore him, is not to give value to him.
There is nothing worse than ignorance. Don't stay or sit with ignorant people. Sit with good people. Sit with someone, who knows and loves Allāh. That ignorant man was ungrateful to Allāh in the first place, let alone he was ungrateful to this good person. He doesn't pray. He has all kinds of dirtiness. Then he tries to lay down the law. Don't stay with this type of people. You should say "There are men like you there, go sit with them, talk to them. I can't deal with you."
The end of times arrived, with Allāh's permission. In shā’a Llāh, Mahdī (as) appears soon. Everything is in Allāh's hand but the third world war started. Allāh knows how many years it lasts. It isn't with my, your wish. It may last one year or 10 years, 20 years. Nothing is difficult in the eyes of Allāh. It may even be one night. But what we heard from our Shaykh, what he related from the Prophet (saw), from the holy people, it will appear little by little. Allāh knows how long it will take after this. But, in shā’a Llāh, soon. In shā’a Llāh, we will see those beautiful days. These liar oppressors, bad people, they'll all be eliminated, the world will be filled with light, belief, Islām, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh make it soon. In shā’a Llāh, like we said, no need to worry or be scared. Because what is promised, related to us is appearing. This should strengthen our belief. With Allāh's permission, we are with ḥaqq, we are on ḥaqq's way. What if we are with bad people? We won't find goodness here or hereafter. Like we read in the khuṭbah just now, "Mā liẓ-ẓālimīna min ḥamīmin wa lā shafī‘in yuṭā‘u" (40:18) "for the oppressors there will be no friend or intercession." Don't be with the oppressors. Oppressors are in hell, can't enter paradise. If you are with the oppressors, you'll also go to hell with them.
You'll leave this world with disgraced, miserable, dirty. Think of Allāh. Don't think of the worthless dunyā. Obey Allāh's orders. That's why ṭarīqah is important, we say it again here on this occasion. Because ṭarīqah comes from the Prophet (saw) not from the mind, idea of someone, whom is not clear from where his Idea comes. Ṭarīqah comes directly from the Prophet (saw), not from people. There are hundreds of books, Allāh knows who wrote them, which one will you believe? Connect to ṭarīqah. Ṭarīqah orders nothing but goodness.
May Allāh protect our country, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh help our army, people, our leaders, who are ūlū l-amr. May Allāh protect and keep us on the right path with these good people. They all pray five times, fast and are ḥājjī. What more could we want? They don't say: "Drink alcohol secretly or be a munāfiq so that you enter into the government." May Allāh give good understanding to these people, who have gone astray.
Today we are saying there is big thing happening. Last Friday night very big fitnah, war was in Turkey. What is this? This is what we said because end of time. Time of Sayyidinā Ādam's (as) children they have certain time - maybe 10.000 years, 7.000 years, or Allāh knows how many years it is. But now it is the end of time. And the end of time it will be, it must be Armageddon. And this was told for every nation. And they are knowing and Prophet (saws) he said about this also. Last century, it happened two big wars, First World War, Second World War. And they were expecting third one but by making small wars around it was not happening. Allāh He doesn't want it. Now also still not happening this Armageddon, so the people they are knowing it must happen, and they thought they are clever they manage to do it in countries like Middle East countries, or African countries or other countries whole people fighting each other. Because they are thinking if they are doing this Armageddon it will be away from their country. 'So we can do it where it is away from our country and this Armageddon between these people finish, it will be order of Allāh finish and we will be saved." They are thinking this and they are doing this.
Because what happened last week - but third world war beginning. Not last Friday, it is beginning since five years. But small, small - each country. And the last week they tried to make it in Turkey and they were really bad thing, real war. Tanks going up, cars full of people, helicopter shooting people, jets, throwing people bombs, everywhere. They tried to kill the president. It was really a night like third world war. And it is...and it is! But Allāh (awj) because His will, they couldn't do. Because it must be head for Islām and head now is in Turkey, because it is Ottoman. Ottoman place and holy Amānah... holy trust of Prophet (saws). Flag, and his sword and everything must be with Khalīfah - it is in Istanbul. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh saved these people, and this enemy because they cannot be from these people, because these people only must be enemy to do this. But Allāh (awj) He saved these people.
And this third world war it is beginning since five years and everyday getting more and more. And nobody will be safe from this. But we are not afraid, we are happy. Why? Because Prophet (saws) what he said, it must be Armageddon before Qiyāmah and Mawlānā Shaykh he was every time telling us about this. Especially for Shawwāl, he said "in Shawwāl tará lahwāl". Shawwāl meaning this month after Ramaḍān, it is month of horrible, terrible things. You see terrible things in this month. And, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, it is beginning now and, in shā’a Llāh, the end of this it will be glory and for Islām. Because Mahdī (as) he will appear and he will clean all this world from dirtiness. What is dirtiness? Non-believer it is dirtiness, first. Because since Prophet (saws) they are attacking believers. Prophet (saws) he said, "believers cannot be bitten from one hole twice."
But we are not twice, not 2000 times, not 200.000 - 200 million times maybe we were bitten from these snakes, scorpions. Every bad thing they were doing, one, second they are not feeling tired.
So after when Mahdī (as) coming, no excuse. You will be believer or you will be not. It is like this. This is good tiding of Prophet (saws) before Qiyāmah it will happen. Not now, now we cannot do anything to anybody now. Mahdī (as) when he comes, he is absolute right and order is with him. His time no madhhab, only one his madhhab. Ṭarīqah is only one ṭarīqah also. Everything will be united. And we are thanking Allāh to give us such a people ruling us because Prophet (saws) said "kamā takūnū, yuwallá ‘alaykum." How you are, Allāh gives you somebody to rule you. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, this is so. We are happy with people also good people. Because who is ruling us they are first Muslim, mu’min, believer and they have done all what Allāh saying, first praying, fasting, and most of them they went to pilgrimage, Ḥajj also. So what we need more than this?
And who is fighting this he is against Allāh, against Prophet (saws). And they are cheating people, they are saying things what it is not true. And the most people who are listening for this, is ignorant people. Ignorant people - don't speak to them because they are lowest. We not saying for, like what Hindu saying, for untouchable. Maybe these untouchable people are good some of them, maybe I don't know, but these people they put them, like what these people must be. So if anybody saying something to you, don't speak to him. Say, "you go speak to ignorant like you. You are following, listening for shayṭān and his follower." Because we are seeing this, it is all around the world. They are fighting with very strong, with everything. They but not appear, but they are doing everything they can do from, you cannot imagine what they are doing. So, we are not listening to them, we are now in war, so be careful, in shā’a Llāh.
We don't know, this is Allāh He knows how many years, how many months, how many days. This is in His hand, Allāh's hands these things. Maybe it is one year, maybe two years, maybe 10 years but it will be the end. Mahdī (as) will come and will clean this
world from every badness. Who will be left, they will be so lucky and so happy. And who are killed, who are believers, they will be shahīd, and they will be also happy in ākhirah... For believers. But for other, don't be with oppressors. In khuṭbah we said "Mā liẓ-ẓālimīna min ḥamīmin wa lā shafī‘in yuṭā‘u" (40:18) Don't be with oppressors, there is no friend for them. No, they cannot make you to go out from hell. You will be with them. Don't be with them. This is order also, be with right, with good people, in shā’a Llāh. Don't be cheated by shayṭān and his followers. Allāh keep us safe to reach all these good days, in shā’a Llāh, to be with Sayyidinā al-Mahdī (as).

136.LONG LIFE FULL OF GOODNESS Saturday, July 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.
They asked the Prophet, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, "Who is the best of people?" He (saw) said: "The one, who lives long and does good things all his life. He is the best of people." He did good all his life, did what Allāh ordered. Can't be anything better than that. The Prophet (saw) described him like this to the ones, who asked him. They asked "Who is the worst of people?" He (saw) said: "The one, who lives long but doesn't do goodness". He wasted his life, he harmed himself, and oppressed others. Everybody is fed up with him. He is the worst of people. He both didn't do good, also fought with everyone, did fitnah, created chaos. He is the worst of people.
Man didn't come to this world for his ego. You have to think why you came to this world. "What was I created for?" Allāh tells everyone. The Prophet (saw) called people to reality, showed them what to do, told the wisdom for their being. Everything is clear, obvious. You can't say "I didn't know why I was created, that's why I crushed people, I oppressed them, I didn't keep Allāh's order, I did all kinds of dirty things. I thought I was created for this." At that point you are the worst of people. Allāh sees you are worthy of hell then. If you want to be a good person, you'll both be peaceful and people around you get benefit from you. They are happy with you. Allāh will be happy with you. In the hereafter for every day that you lived, you'll be get more rewards. We should keep this in mind.
The most beautiful words are the words of our Prophet (saw). They got inspiration from him (saw), wrote millions of books. He (saw) talked beautifully. "The best of people, is the one who lives long and keeps the way of Allāh." Someone, who keeps the way of Allāh won't fight with anyone, won't do wrong to anyone. He won't do wrong. May Allāh keep us all on that way. May we do goodness until the end of our lives. It isn't certain, we may live long or short, but, in shā’a Llāh, we keep the right path until the end of our lives. Prophet (saws), ṣaḥābah companions, they were asking him about who is the best people, the most perfect, good ones? They asked. Prophet (saws) saying: "he is that one, he is, Allāh give him long life and on his whole life he is doing good things. This is the best thing in front of Prophet (saws) and in Divine Presence of Allāh (awj)."
To not forget whole, this long life to do good thing. Every time, whole life doing good thing, this is the best for Prophet (saws) he showing, saying for people. Telling people, "this man or woman, lady she is the best, what Allāh like, Prophet (saws) likes." And after they are asking, "who is the worst one?" He (saws said: "he is, or she is, who has long life and doing bad thing. This is the worst in Divine Presence."
Because our aim not to do bad thing for people. The order for Allāh not to do bad for people and for yourself also. Because you are ordered and Allāh sent Prophet, and in His holy book saying about for what we are created, the wisdom of our creation. Prophet (saws) 23 years teaching us. Why - the wisdom of to be in this life. Why Allāh created us. Nobody can say "I didn't know, I thought it is I am coming here to harm people, to kill people, to do bad thing for people to do every bad thing, every forbidden thing. For this I thought I was created." No, it is, cannot be to say this, it cannot be accepted. Because Allāh sent all His messengers, Prophets telling people what is good and what is not good. So it is bad to do what Allāh forbid and Prophet (saws) telling not to do it. So for this the worst one who doing this and he is not acceptable in Divine Presence of Allāh (awj) and Prophet (saws).
Prophet, he is telling us the good thing. The good for us to be good life, happy life and happy end. Showing, Prophet (saws) his word it is the best, the most soft, the most good word, and there is millions of books printed or written by writer from - taking inspiration from Prophet (saws). And it is what he said, you must follow. To try to be our life to be good in our life, to be the best in front of Prophet (saws). Long life, maybe 100 years, more than 100 years, or 90 years many example. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we have Mawlānā, he was 92 years, mā shā’a Llāh, long life. And he is the best example for us. He was when he has very few murīd, was same. When he had 1000s of murīds also he was same. Not changing not become to change anything from his life or to change anything what order of Prophet, or order of Allāh. He was doing the same. This is Prophet (saws) saying, to be good every time, not when you're seeing people pretend to be better and when it is not, no. Every time you must be same because order of Prophet (saws).
In shā’a Llāh, we like to do this, Allāh helps us. We don't know our life be long, short, but what we must do like Mawlānā, to continue to not to be lazy. Sometimes, no need to do this or that, no when you are doing something go

like to talk a little bit about Bībī Fāṭimah. You know our Prophet gave her so much respect and regard, but unfortunately she died quite sad and disappointed. And she faced opposition. Why is this? S: There is many thing for this. She is, because she was the most beloved for Prophet (saws), she was very sad, very sensitive and she couldn't more than six months live after Prophet (saws). Because he (saws) told her when he was ill, "I will pass away." And she was very sad.
He told her good tiding for her "you will be with me after, the first one, you will be with me." So she was like this, very sensitive and small thing happened at that time, she was...because ṣaḥābah (ra) they are good, but to make...it was test, it was really difficult, because the order of the Prophet and this sensitivity of Sayyidatinā Fāṭimah... So it was very difficult for them, but for order of Prophet (saws) they preferred to do it and she
was disappointed for this. But Allāh reward her and she will be in shā’a Llāh happy, very happy because she's the first one who went to Prophet (saws). It is little bit thing in dunyā we cannot... She was whole life suffering from dunyā, so after Prophet (saws) also this happened for her just to make her higher in her degree. So, no need to make it something big for to curse any ṣaḥābah or to say wrong thing for ṣaḥābah.
Q: What has been her role and the role of Bībī Zaynab in keeping the religion pure? What has been their contribution? S: She is the mother of all Ahlu l-Bayt, the generation (descendants) of Prophet (saws). This is enough, and she was like mother for Prophet, even she's daughter but she was like mother, yes. She had big, very big role. She's named after ṣaḥābah she's coming, Ḥasan, Ḥusayn, Sayyidatinā Fāṭimah. She is very huge
Q: And also Bībī Zaynab? S: Bībī Zaynab, but she's ... Fāṭimah the best.
Q: But even Bībī Zaynab she went against and took on the authorities and challenged them, being a woman and, you know. How important was that, for us as Muslims, her example - that she stood up and spoke out against what she thought was wrong at the time? S: After Karbalā’, this is another subject. Sayyidatinā Fāṭimah's role another subject. Sayyidatinā Zaynab also big thing, but at that time what happened it was wrong. And it was against - the fitnah beginning from there...from not from... It is long story but it is really sad thing happened, very wrong thing happened at that time. For Islām especially, because this not accepting the highness of Prophet (saws). We said they're making as they are the highest position in Quraysh. So it was really difficult. It is long thing to explain here. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh He honour them and now everywhere millions of people visiting her, but who make wrong for them, nobody visit them, nobody asking about them.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim had told me that Hz Abū Bakr said that he was keeping the amānah of Bībī Fāṭimah to give to Imām Mahdī. What is this amānah? S: Spiritual amānah, spiritual thing, because she has big because Sayyidinā al-Mahdī also is from her grandsons. So from Prophet (saws), to grand, his grand-mother Bībī Fāṭimah, he will take it when he appears in shā’a Llāh.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim always praised his wife, your mother, Hj Anne, saying that she is a great spiritual power and spiritual support for him. What is this.. what is the kind of spiritual support that she was giving him? S: Because she is also one of 40 big Awliyā’- arba‘īn we call it, because there is seven of them ladies. This 40 awliyā’ every time they have. When somebody pass away another coming. Seven of them women, one of them Hj Anne. From this she was supporting.
And supporting also in life. Because when he was married to her, going everywhere and she was not, she encouraging to go for give people blessing and to guide them to right way. She is not complaining at all and she was looking for the house and children. So he was also support by to be not worried for his house. And especially for spiritual support also.
Q: The power of the feminine, spiritual feminine, seems to be kind of hidden and not really so much talked about or understood. Is this understanding going to be part of the spiritual awakening in the future - the power of the female spirituality? S: If you like if you see when you go anywhere, the ladies they are more than men. For ziyārah (visiting maqāms), for praying, it is more but they're, Allāh gave them role to make good people. For her family or for another, their role it is big. They are the first teacher for men - big thing, like Bībī Fāṭimah, like other. So it is not what, feminine [feminists] they are saying "we don't have anything." No they have the biggest thing. They bring all this big people, Prophet (sas). Sayidatinā Āminah, her son Prophet (sas) - it is not enough? All these Awliyā’u Llāh they have mothers, all they must be pure people, good people.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim used to say that the current flows with the two points, so the man and the woman, the male energy the female energy has to come together to become the real power. Is this the secret that they have to sort of work together to become more powerful? S: Sometimes like this. Many times they cannot - they must suffer from this also.
Q: Not everybody is so lucky. S: Yes, yes.
Q: Shaykh Nāẓim called Halā Sulṭān, his Sulṭāna. Is it possible for a woman to be a Sulṭān of men? S: Of course these ṣaḥābah all, we call them Sulṭān - Ayūb Sulṭān. We call them in our tradition we call all ṣaḥābah - Sulṭān. So she is Sulṭāna mā shā’a Llāh.
Q: Imām Mahdī and Jesus are supposed to come together. Could this also be something like this coming together of male female balance? Somehow is this part of bringing harmony to the world? S: At that time it is only by miracle coming, not by normal thing, male or female. Only miracle time at that time. No need for this, because it is only short period. After it will be Judgement or Qiyāmah. Because no time to make harmony to make this, only very short time.
Q: This will be instantly, everything will just shift overnight or very quickly. That they
will appear and everything will just fall into place? Q: Because the time will finish then the time for people to make amends or to say sorry it will be over. S: Yes, maybe one months, five months, eight months one year - normally it must be one year, but if time no time, Prophet (saws) he said in one day, also it can all be all this.
Q: Thank you Shaykh Mehmet. S: In sha Allāh, Allāh makes it very near to meet him in shā’a Llāh, all people meet him in shā’a Llāh. Allāh. Shāhidu l-Ḥaqq.

131.EVERYONE IS A SHEPHERD Sunday, July 17, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
In the way that the Prophet (saw) showed us, everybody has a responsibility. Nobody should say: "I don't have responsibility." Everybody has a responsibility, from top to bottom. In this country or wherever you may live, you have a responsibility in your community. The Prophet (saw) says; "Kullukum rā‘in, wa kullukum mas’ūlun ‘an ra‘īyatihi." - "You are all shepherds. Everybody is responsible for his flock."
Your sulṭān is like your shepherd, he will be asked about you. After that, a man is responsible for his family, his house - to take care of them, to listen to their problems. Because a shepherd looks at what the flock needs. A woman is responsible for her house. She is responsible for her husband, children, managing the house, serving, things to do. A man, who works for someone or for a house is responsible for his duty, he shouldn't betray him. He works for his benefit. He takes his wage according to that. He lives in that way.
The Prophet's way is the way of happiness. It is the way of contentment. If everybody did their work carefully there wouldn't be any problem among people. But of course not everybody does. Especially in this time, that we call the end of times, everybody wants to run away from responsibility. They don't want to do anything. "Let someone else do it, I want to look". Everywhere is full of laziness. When someone doesn't move, they get lazy. Laziness is a bad habit. If you get used to being lazy you are in loss. Allāh and the Prophet (saw) don't like laziness. The saints don't like it. You need to get himmah against laziness. If a lazy person sleeps - you sleep enough, if you sleep too much it is not good for you. Everything is arranged to make people lazy in this time. All the devices are made for that purpose. Instead of taking care of his house, a man sits at a cafe with bad friends and makes nonsense conversations. He says bad things and sins.
The way of our Prophet (saw) gives people enlightenment. Other ways give darkness, oppression, and unhappiness. May Allāh keep us on the right way in shā’a Llāh. We should be careful and listen to the Prophet's (saw) advice because when children see it in the family, they also take responsibility. When they have a family in the future they will act the same. These nice traditions are carried from generation to generation. If they
witness bad things they think it is normal. "We live like this, continue like this" they say and continue so. The Prophet (saw) says it is the most important thing. Both the wife and the husband have a big responsibility. May Allāh protect us from the harm of these evils.
Prophet (saws) he showed us the way of light, how to be happy here and hereafter. For dunyā, he said everybody he has a responsibility. Hadith saying, oh, everybody he is rā‘i - rā‘i meaning shepherd - and he is responsible for his flock. Sulṭān is the biggest shepherd he is responsible for all of country. After him, everybody come less and less until coming for man he has been responsible for his family, to look after his house, after his family. And wife of house, she is also shepherd. She is responsible for children, for her house, to run the house and for her husband, to give good thing for them. Because shepherd he is running after his flock to help them.
Because this, Prophet (saws) he showed us very good example. The flock, they are not so responsible, you must be careful for them. You must look for them, help them, serve them to be good benefit for you, for them also. If you are not good shepherd, your flock they will be most of them maybe run away, some of them wolf eat them, some of them they will be tiny not eating anything. So it will be miserable. But if you are good shepherd, your.. who are you responsible for them, they will be all good. And who is serving, also he is responsible for his Master. He must look after his work, after his business and to make his Master happy with him. To not be, lose his money. Because if he lose money, there is for this servant also no work.
So every person in this community in country, they have responsibility. Don't think we are coming just to, no responsibility for people. But these days people they don't like responsibility. They make everything from technology to make people lazy and not to carry any responsibility. And laziness it is not good habit. Allāh not like it, Prophet (saws) not like it, Awliyā’u Llāh also not like it. They like to be hard-working, to not be lazy. Laziness is coming from shayṭān. Even from laziness - most people not praying, not worshipping from laziness. And this time, this end of time, they have everything to make people to be lazy. But when in house this responsibility everybody doing what Prophet (saws) saying, who are living in house they will learn it is good and we must do this. Mother, father they are doing. Who are growing in this house, when they married and go in other place, they will be also same. Good people, teaching their children. Other also like this and it will, if it is like this whole community it is good.
But most of people they don't like responsibility, they don't have, they are not doing what they must do. For this it is like this, this world. When small, small, small coming, strong building coming. But if not it is just some of them good, some of them not good. They are complaining after, people also they are complaining for their children, for their family. But it is their responsibility they are not doing. After they want from other people to help them. First they must help themselves, to correct themselves, to be careful for
their family. After it will be everything better, in shā’a Llāh. Because this is way of Prophet (saws). He showed us the best way for life. Happiness to follow order of Prophet, because here you will be happy and in the next life also you will be happy. Allāh help us to follow his order, in shā’a Llāh.

132.ALLĀH DOES WHAT HE WANTS Monday, July 18, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
In shā’a Llāh, we ask goodness of everything from Allāh. People want, Allāh does what He wants. "Anta turīd wa anā urīd wa Llāhu yaf‘alu mā yurīd". These are the words of great people. "You want, I want, Allāh does what He wants." Allāh, Allāh Almighty He is absolutely Able. Everything is in His hands. Nothing goes out of His order. Everybody is at His command. Do as you like but Allāh does what He wants. He decides when everything will happen.
In shā’a Llāh, we want what Allāh wants. Our ego is sad when what it wants doesn't happen. But we pray to Allāh to do the best for us. Many things seem bad but are actually good. Some things seem good but are actually bad. That's why we ask for goodness from Allāh. May Allāh give us all kinds of goodness, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has control over people's hearts. He turns them whenever He wants, to wherever He wants. Don't think anything happens by your effort, by your mind. It is with Allāh's order.
If you trust in Allāh, ask from Allāh, it happens. If you want for your ego, the result is loss. What you want should be what Allāh accepts, not things that follow your ego. Want what Allāh wants and Allāh decrees. No matter how clever you are, if Allāh wants, in one moment, Allāh gets you out of the way and you end up exhausted. If He wants, in one hour. Everything is in Allāh's hands. Nothing is in your control, in human's control. Everything is under Allāh's control. We say "May He give us goodness". In shā’a Llāh, people's hearts turn towards Allāh. This is what Mawlānā said - we want this. Don't lose hope. Always invite people to goodness, work for goodness. If it works, it works. If not, still you'll be rewarded. But if you work for your ego, even if it happens, it isn't for your good. If it doesn't happen, it still isn't good. You should always think of Allāh, don't forget Him. This is dhikr. Fadhakkir is remembrance. Of course there is the dhikr, but Allāh should always be with you. Say "We want what Allāh wants". In shā’a Llāh, what we want is to be away from our egos.
There is, Allāh He do everything for He our Creator and He is absolute able to do anything, no negotiation for this. There is saying of great people, Awliyā’u Llāh, in Arabic "Anta turīd wa anā urīd wa Llāhu yaf‘alu mā yurīd." This what meaning? "You
want something and I want something, everyone wants different thing but Allāh He does what He wants .
So we must put our, what we want, to be according to Allāh Almighty's will, what He wants. We must look for what He wants and to follow what He wants, to not be following opposite of what Allāh orders, what He wants. Because everything is in His holy will. You cannot, as much as you are clever, you are doing everything, if Allāh He doesn't want it you cannot succeed.
People they ask how this non-believer or atheist they succeed? This also from His will. Allāh's will to make it a test for people or to make them to be more proud, to be more...to get more punishment in ākhirah. In Qur’ān He said even - "I can do for them a house from silver." (43:33) in dunyā. For whom? For these non-believers to make them more against, to make them test for people, to give them punishment, more punishment. So everything, Allāh what He wants we must be accepting, to be satisfied with what He give us. Many times, we want something it is not good for us, you... it appear it is very good for us, but when it happens it will be very bad for us. Sometimes very bad things can happen and people not happy, but at the end they will be happy with this, because Allāh He gives us the best. We must accept this. It's in Qur’ān also saying same thing - you'll be...don't be objecting for anything from Allāh. Everything is in His holy will.
These days it is difficult days, so we must be carful and to be give ourselves to what Allāh wills. He likes to do, we are happy with this, we must say. He created us in this time, it is difficult time, but it is also very blessed for believers, who are catching the real way of Allāh and Prophet (saws). These are the days what the Prophet was saying, who catching his religion as he catches fire in his hand. Because the real believer they are attacked from every people, everywhere. From shayṭān and his followers, they attack them from everywhere. But we mustn't be sad, we must be happy, Allāh He created us in this time and He is giving more rewards for us. We are accepting what Allāh gives us and, in shā’a Llāh, our will is with Allāh's will. Allāh make us to be satisfied with this, to not be from who's not accepting this. Because if you're accepting, if you not accept, you are in this so you must accept this situation and be satisfied in yourself, you have peace in your heart.
If you are afraid, your belief it is not so strong. You must be... Allāh is with us, He never left us and He is, everything will finish, Allāh still as He was. No changing, nothing for Him. The only [ones] changing [are] people. And who was with Allāh, he will be in next life also, after finish this life, after it is finished. In shā’a Llāh, next life, real life, it will be...real good for these believers, strong believer. But if they are happy here also, they will be more better for them, to not be all the time stressed in this world. Just leave yourself for Allāh's will. You want, I want, Allāh He does what He wants.

133.THINK ONLY GOOD Wednesday, July 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.
What advice did our Prophet (sas) give us? Our Prophet (saw) advises all goodness. When you read a ḥadīth, in Arabic, you have to say it as it is. We don't remember exactly. Let's say it in Turkish. "O son, from morning till evening, from evening till morning, don't leave goodness. Don't think badness about anyone. You should do this." says the Prophet (saw). When you do this, you are a Muslim. "Al-muslimu man salima l- muslimūna min lisānihi wa yadihi" We couldn't say it properly. It means a Muslim doesn't harm, people are safe from his tongue and his hand. This is a Muslim. This is what the Prophet (saw) says. A Muslim should never think badness for anyone. He shouldn't harm anyone, he should think like this from morning till evening, from evening till morning; thinking "I shouldn't harm anyone, I shouldn't give pain to anyone". He should keep this good manner from morning till evening, from evening till morning. This is a Muslim. A Muslim is someone, who doesn't harm anyone. If you obey the Prophet's (saw) order, you'll be with him (saw), he'll (saw) love you. If you think of harming people, from morning till evening, from evening till morning, the Prophet (saw) doesn't love you, Allāh doesn't love you.
Ask goodness. Allāh ordered us goodness, beauty. If you do good, you'll find good. If all your life passes with goodness, hereafter also will be in goodness You'll be with the Prophet (saw) in the hereafter. If you think badness in the world you'll be with shayṭān, nothing else. Who is happy when people go astray? Shayṭān is happy. Good people aren't happy. When somebody makes a mistake, goes astray, good people are sad, they aren't happy. "These people also went astray, how nice. These are bad people." Nobody says this. His heart burns and says; "We thought they were good people, why did they do something like this?" Good people become so sad. Shayṭān is happy, celebrates. We want everyone in the way of Allāh, we want them to do goodness. This is the Prophet's (saw) order. Think goodness for everyone. Prophet (saws) he ordered us every good thing. There is ḥadīth I read. In Arabic when you say ḥadīth, you must say it exactly what you write. Because ḥadīth, if you change, you cannot fix it. So it is for Arabic you must say it correct but for to make it English or other language, you can say -"it is something like this." Qur’ān, even you make it wrong it is not like ḥadīth, because Qur’ān it is
preserved so you cannot change. So maybe sometimes making wrong when you read you say something wrong but it is no matter, correct. But for ḥadīth...
So we are saying we read ḥadīth, Prophet (saws) saying "O boy if you can to be from morning to evening, and from evening to morning thinking only good, do this." This is small ḥadīth but it is very important. Every ḥadīth important, but it is also... When people thinking it is enough to be good Muslim to be good human being for whole life. Only we like and to think from morning to evening, to look what is the good thing, what is, how to make Prophet (saws) happy, how it is good thing to do. It is important, and from night to morning also to think only good thing also, very important thing. Makes ourself to be a pure, real Muslim. Muslim meaning - Prophet (saws) - who makes people to be safe from his hand, from his tongue, from everything - no harm from Muslim. Muslim meaning peaceful man. Not like what people now, when they say Muslim they are thinking he is beast. No, it is opposite, it is meaning peaceful one, Muslim. And Prophet (saws) teaching us to do this - not to think any bad thing for people, not to do any bad thing for people. He said do this if you can do, because it is also not easy to do for everybody, but we try, in shā’a Llāh. And we are happy to see good people and to think good thing for people. We are not happy to see bad people, bad action from people who are claiming they are believer or Muslim or other... Others, we don't care about them because we know them. But this what we care more, and we are sorry for them, who are people claiming and making bad things. We are not feeling happiness for this. We are not happy to see "O this man he become bad man, we must be happy." No we cannot be.
Even in Islām also no envious. Some maybe envious people they are happy for this, but we are not. Never teaching of Prophet (saws), teaching of Awliyā’u Llāh, ṭarīqah. Only to be happy to save people from bad way, from bad thing, from hell. This is what they try to do. Who is happy with people who are not in right way, leaving right way, going wrong way? Shayṭān only is happy. He is very, very happy. Every time somebody going out from right way to wrong way, he makes...celebrates. And... who following him, they are also happy. Muslims cannot be happy with bad thing or to see bad people. We are happy to save all human beings from bad way. We like them to be in safe and blessed way. This is Prophet's (saws) order - "to think good from morning to evening, from evening to morning." Don't think any bad thing for people, only be happy when you save somebody or to see good thing happen for people who are out of way to come into right way. Allāh help us to help people to come in right way in shā’a Llāh.

134.BE PREPARED FOR DEATH Thursday, July 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.
Our Prophet (saw) said: "people get old but by two things stay young." You aren't aware you are old. What are these two things? One is the love of the world, loving whatever there is in the world. You think you are young, you don't think you are old. Whatever is in the world, possessions - that love won't end just because people got old. There is no such thing. It doesn't end. You can control that love of the world only by training the ego. "Now I'm young, I love the world, I want to have everything. I won't do anything, when I get old." Sometimes as you get older, it comes out more; there may be more love of the world.
The second one is hope, it means "ṭūlu l-amal". People think they will live more. They don't say: "we got old, we have to pray more, remember Allāh more". So, "ṭūlu l-amal" - hope - they think they'll never die. But you are old. That you are approaching the place where everybody is going, is clear. So pull yourself together. Be for Allāh. Go in the way of Allāh and the Prophet (saw). "We aren't that old now, we'll live more, we'll pray later. If they are praying, I'll do ḥajj later. We are 60 years old, we can do ḥajj when we are 70, 80.If we make ḥajj, we won't have any sins." That is also hope. But Allāh gave us a life, hope won't make it longer. Do everything as if it will end soon. When you have no hope, you say I do them all at once, so I gain my ākhirah. Like that it has to be continuous.
You have to do good, thinking "We can go evening or morning, how will I face Allāh in the ākhirah?" This is what the Prophet (saw) says and he (saw) is truthful, trustworthy. Every word he (saw) says is the truest. Everybody has this. They have, but the Prophet (saw) says it to train it. Be careful to use these qualities in a way that it serves Allāh. Do everything for Allāh's sake.
Prophet (saws) he is saying, and he is the most perfect saying. What he said: there is two things in human beings, even when human being is getting old, very old even, these two things still, people... in people it is like young." As much as he is old, he thinks he is still young. What are these two things? First love of this life, enjoyment of this life - property,
car, land, money, everything. Old people they are...don't think they are saying: "we are old, we don't want anymore." Maybe sometimes they want more than young. Why? Because the secret of this, Prophet (saws) is saying, they still think young in their mind. "We are still, we can live many (years) and we need this, we must collect, we must take more, and more, and more." And it is not good because we are not created only for love of collecting money, collecting land, collecting property or what. We will leave this and we [go] for ākhirah. And it is seeing also old - they will be not thinking for this. Why? Prophet (saws) saying, this feeling still not changing in human being, feeling young. For this they want more and more.
Second one, what feeling is still young, is hope, long hope. Hope - not feeling even they are old, they say "we still we will live. We will not die." Even they are not thinking about dying. Only thinking for life. Even, Mawlānā was saying, there is a saying in Turkish "One leg in hole, hole meaning grave, and still they are not feeling this, not doing good thing, not obeying Allāh, not making charity or to do anything. No they not thinking at all. In our ṭarīqah, everyday you must think seven times for death. It is when you waking up - maybe we cannot reach evening we say. When in nighttime you sleep, maybe we cannot wake up. All life, Allāh He give us our life and He [appoint] a certain time for us. So, to be long hope we will live many years, it is not from teaching of Islām, or teaching of ṭarīqah.
Every time we must say "we be ready to be in front of Divine Presence of Allāh and we must be in good condition, not to be ashamed of what we do in our life." Who are saying, "Oh we will live too much, maybe I'm now 70 years, after 10 years I can go to ḥajj and all my sin it will go." Allāh knows you will be maybe one hour later you will die. You don't know. You don't have guarantee for this. So, we must be ready. Prophet (saws) saying these two things for desire of human being, for everybody this. But we must make it, trim it, to make it good for our way, way of Prophet (saws). When we, in shā’a Llāh, meet him, to be not ashamed in front of him, to be happy, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh help us, all of us.

135.ARMAGEDDON MUST COME Friday, July 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.
The time, the time that Allāh appointed to the nation, to the sons of Ādam (as), is coming to its end. At the end of this time there will be the Judgement Day. Before that, there are the signs of the Judgement Day. One of them is Armageddon. There will be a big war. There were two wars in the last century, First World War, Second World War. This is the third and the biggest. Now if you look it has started slowly. Since a couple of years the third world war has started. Because not only us but also the people, who don't believe in the Prophet (saw) they also know, they call it Armageddon. They know it will happen but they think they will be saved by their cunning. They say "Let's start this among the ignorant people". That's why you see in Islamic countries, everywhere people kill each other, they fight, they make war.
People were surprised, last Friday we made sohbet and dhikr, we prayed. There was the news in the evening. People are still shocked - "how can it be?" These are the signs of the third world war. They make people their own soldiers, actually the soldiers of shayṭān, they create wars in Islāmic countries. Like we said this is the third world war, the sign of the end of times. Mawlānā used to tell about it. He said it would be in the month of Shawwāl. He used to say: Shawwāl tará l-ahwāl. We heard this since childhood. Ahwāl means very bad things. The month of Shawwāl is a heavy month. It really is. Don't say how these things happen? What has started between non-believers and the Islamic world is the third world war. There is khayr in everything. No need to be afraid. This is known since the beginning. The Prophet (saw) talked about these issues.
Armageddon will come. In the end islām will be victorious. Mahdī (as) will appear and make all the world Muslim. At that time you'll either be Muslim or leave this world. There is no way. "Wa qul jā’a l-ḥaqqu wa zahaqa l-bāṭilu" (17:81) Truth has come. Because since the time of the Prophet (saw) until now, they didn't leave Islām to be at peace. Not once, twice - hundred thousand times, hundred million times they attacked Islām. They attacked Islām whenever possible. Without being ashamed, they show themselves as innocent, harmless as if they have got nothing to do with it. Allāh knows, everybody knows. People aren't as stupid as they think. They are aware of everything but they don't
have power in their hands, they can't make their voices heard. That's something else. They themselves did what they liked until now.
When Mahdī (as) comes, like we said - not now, there is no order at the moment. You can't act independently, according to your mind. We have ūlū l-amr as authority, we are at their command. You have to keep their orders. If you rebel against him, you'll rebel against Allāh, the Prophet (saw). Because nobody saw him committing a sin it means his sin is not seen. He does what Allāh says. What else do we want? It means Allāh loves this nation, He (jj) sent them a good man as their head. We see around, so many leaders, dictators, oppressors came as their head. They ruled for 40, 50, 60 years, people couldn't say anything. Because they are the soldiers of the shayṭān, the world is happy with them, even if people are not happy with them. If someone comes out, saying Allāh, he is the biggest enemy. They make fabricated news everywhere. Ignorant people believe. Don't believe in an ignorant man's words. If he says something "Wa-idhā khāṭabahumu l- jāhilūna qālū salāman" (25:63) if ignorant people do something, say "as-salāmun ‘alaykum", meaning "goodbye. I can't talk to you. You go and talk with ignorant ones like yourself." Talking with an ignorant one brings darkness. It gives darkness to your heart. Don't deal with them. The best answer you can give is to ignore him, is not to give value to him.
There is nothing worse than ignorance. Don't stay or sit with ignorant people. Sit with good people. Sit with someone, who knows and loves Allāh. That ignorant man was ungrateful to Allāh in the first place, let alone he was ungrateful to this good person. He doesn't pray. He has all kinds of dirtiness. Then he tries to lay down the law. Don't stay with this type of people. You should say "There are men like you there, go sit with them, talk to them. I can't deal with you."
The end of times arrived, with Allāh's permission. In shā’a Llāh, Mahdī (as) appears soon. Everything is in Allāh's hand but the third world war started. Allāh knows how many years it lasts. It isn't with my, your wish. It may last one year or 10 years, 20 years. Nothing is difficult in the eyes of Allāh. It may even be one night. But what we heard from our Shaykh, what he related from the Prophet (saw), from the holy people, it will appear little by little. Allāh knows how long it will take after this. But, in shā’a Llāh, soon. In shā’a Llāh, we will see those beautiful days. These liar oppressors, bad people, they'll all be eliminated, the world will be filled with light, belief, Islām, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh make it soon. In shā’a Llāh, like we said, no need to worry or be scared. Because what is promised, related to us is appearing. This should strengthen our belief. With Allāh's permission, we are with ḥaqq, we are on ḥaqq's way. What if we are with bad people? We won't find goodness here or hereafter. Like we read in the khuṭbah just now, "Mā liẓ-ẓālimīna min ḥamīmin wa lā shafī‘in yuṭā‘u" (40:18) "for the oppressors there will be no friend or intercession." Don't be with the oppressors. Oppressors are in hell, can't enter paradise. If you are with the oppressors, you'll also go to hell with them.
You'll leave this world with disgraced, miserable, dirty. Think of Allāh. Don't think of the worthless dunyā. Obey Allāh's orders. That's why ṭarīqah is important, we say it again here on this occasion. Because ṭarīqah comes from the Prophet (saw) not from the mind, idea of someone, whom is not clear from where his Idea comes. Ṭarīqah comes directly from the Prophet (saw), not from people. There are hundreds of books, Allāh knows who wrote them, which one will you believe? Connect to ṭarīqah. Ṭarīqah orders nothing but goodness.
May Allāh protect our country, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh help our army, people, our leaders, who are ūlū l-amr. May Allāh protect and keep us on the right path with these good people. They all pray five times, fast and are ḥājjī. What more could we want? They don't say: "Drink alcohol secretly or be a munāfiq so that you enter into the government." May Allāh give good understanding to these people, who have gone astray.
Today we are saying there is big thing happening. Last Friday night very big fitnah, war was in Turkey. What is this? This is what we said because end of time. Time of Sayyidinā Ādam's (as) children they have certain time - maybe 10.000 years, 7.000 years, or Allāh knows how many years it is. But now it is the end of time. And the end of time it will be, it must be Armageddon. And this was told for every nation. And they are knowing and Prophet (saws) he said about this also. Last century, it happened two big wars, First World War, Second World War. And they were expecting third one but by making small wars around it was not happening. Allāh He doesn't want it. Now also still not happening this Armageddon, so the people they are knowing it must happen, and they thought they are clever they manage to do it in countries like Middle East countries, or African countries or other countries whole people fighting each other. Because they are thinking if they are doing this Armageddon it will be away from their country. 'So we can do it where it is away from our country and this Armageddon between these people finish, it will be order of Allāh finish and we will be saved." They are thinking this and they are doing this.
Because what happened last week - but third world war beginning. Not last Friday, it is beginning since five years. But small, small - each country. And the last week they tried to make it in Turkey and they were really bad thing, real war. Tanks going up, cars full of people, helicopter shooting people, jets, throwing people bombs, everywhere. They tried to kill the president. It was really a night like third world war. And it is...and it is! But Allāh (awj) because His will, they couldn't do. Because it must be head for Islām and head now is in Turkey, because it is Ottoman. Ottoman place and holy Amānah... holy trust of Prophet (saws). Flag, and his sword and everything must be with Khalīfah - it is in Istanbul. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh saved these people, and this enemy because they cannot be from these people, because these people only must be enemy to do this. But Allāh (awj) He saved these people.
And this third world war it is beginning since five years and everyday getting more and more. And nobody will be safe from this. But we are not afraid, we are happy. Why? Because Prophet (saws) what he said, it must be Armageddon before Qiyāmah and Mawlānā Shaykh he was every time telling us about this. Especially for Shawwāl, he said "in Shawwāl tará lahwāl". Shawwāl meaning this month after Ramaḍān, it is month of horrible, terrible things. You see terrible things in this month. And, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, it is beginning now and, in shā’a Llāh, the end of this it will be glory and for Islām. Because Mahdī (as) he will appear and he will clean all this world from dirtiness. What is dirtiness? Non-believer it is dirtiness, first. Because since Prophet (saws) they are attacking believers. Prophet (saws) he said, "believers cannot be bitten from one hole twice."
But we are not twice, not 2000 times, not 200.000 - 200 million times maybe we were bitten from these snakes, scorpions. Every bad thing they were doing, one, second they are not feeling tired.
So after when Mahdī (as) coming, no excuse. You will be believer or you will be not. It is like this. This is good tiding of Prophet (saws) before Qiyāmah it will happen. Not now, now we cannot do anything to anybody now. Mahdī (as) when he comes, he is absolute right and order is with him. His time no madhhab, only one his madhhab. Ṭarīqah is only one ṭarīqah also. Everything will be united. And we are thanking Allāh to give us such a people ruling us because Prophet (saws) said "kamā takūnū, yuwallá ‘alaykum." How you are, Allāh gives you somebody to rule you. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, this is so. We are happy with people also good people. Because who is ruling us they are first Muslim, mu’min, believer and they have done all what Allāh saying, first praying, fasting, and most of them they went to pilgrimage, Ḥajj also. So what we need more than this?
And who is fighting this he is against Allāh, against Prophet (saws). And they are cheating people, they are saying things what it is not true. And the most people who are listening for this, is ignorant people. Ignorant people - don't speak to them because they are lowest. We not saying for, like what Hindu saying, for untouchable. Maybe these untouchable people are good some of them, maybe I don't know, but these people they put them, like what these people must be. So if anybody saying something to you, don't speak to him. Say, "you go speak to ignorant like you. You are following, listening for shayṭān and his follower." Because we are seeing this, it is all around the world. They are fighting with very strong, with everything. They but not appear, but they are doing everything they can do from, you cannot imagine what they are doing. So, we are not listening to them, we are now in war, so be careful, in shā’a Llāh.
We don't know, this is Allāh He knows how many years, how many months, how many days. This is in His hand, Allāh's hands these things. Maybe it is one year, maybe two years, maybe 10 years but it will be the end. Mahdī (as) will come and will clean this
world from every badness. Who will be left, they will be so lucky and so happy. And who are killed, who are believers, they will be shahīd, and they will be also happy in ākhirah... For believers. But for other, don't be with oppressors. In khuṭbah we said "Mā liẓ-ẓālimīna min ḥamīmin wa lā shafī‘in yuṭā‘u" (40:18) Don't be with oppressors, there is no friend for them. No, they cannot make you to go out from hell. You will be with them. Don't be with them. This is order also, be with right, with good people, in shā’a Llāh. Don't be cheated by shayṭān and his followers. Allāh keep us safe to reach all these good days, in shā’a Llāh, to be with Sayyidinā al-Mahdī (as).
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
136.LONG LIFE FULL OF GOODNESS Saturday, July 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.
They asked the Prophet, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, "Who is the best of people?" He (saw) said: "The one, who lives long and does good things all his life. He is the best of people." He did good all his life, did what Allāh ordered. Can't be anything better than that. The Prophet (saw) described him like this to the ones, who asked him. They asked "Who is the worst of people?" He (saw) said: "The one, who lives long but doesn't do goodness". He wasted his life, he harmed himself, and oppressed others. Everybody is fed up with him. He is the worst of people. He both didn't do good, also fought with everyone, did fitnah, created chaos. He is the worst of people.
Man didn't come to this world for his ego. You have to think why you came to this world. "What was I created for?" Allāh tells everyone. The Prophet (saw) called people to reality, showed them what to do, told the wisdom for their being. Everything is clear, obvious. You can't say "I didn't know why I was created, that's why I crushed people, I oppressed them, I didn't keep Allāh's order, I did all kinds of dirty things. I thought I was created for this." At that point you are the worst of people. Allāh sees you are worthy of hell then. If you want to be a good person, you'll both be peaceful and people around you get benefit from you. They are happy with you. Allāh will be happy with you. In the hereafter for every day that you lived, you'll be get more rewards. We should keep this in mind.
The most beautiful words are the words of our Prophet (saw). They got inspiration from him (saw), wrote millions of books. He (saw) talked beautifully. "The best of people, is the one who lives long and keeps the way of Allāh." Someone, who keeps the way of Allāh won't fight with anyone, won't do wrong to anyone. He won't do wrong. May Allāh keep us all on that way. May we do goodness until the end of our lives. It isn't certain, we may live long or short, but, in shā’a Llāh, we keep the right path until the end of our lives. Prophet (saws), ṣaḥābah companions, they were asking him about who is the best people, the most perfect, good ones? They asked. Prophet (saws) saying: "he is that one, he is, Allāh give him long life and on his whole life he is doing good things. This is the best thing in front of Prophet (saws) and in Divine Presence of Allāh (awj)."
To not forget whole, this long life to do good thing. Every time, whole life doing good thing, this is the best for Prophet (saws) he showing, saying for people. Telling people, "this man or woman, lady she is the best, what Allāh like, Prophet (saws) likes." And after they are asking, "who is the worst one?" He (saws said: "he is, or she is, who has long life and doing bad thing. This is the worst in Divine Presence."
Because our aim not to do bad thing for people. The order for Allāh not to do bad for people and for yourself also. Because you are ordered and Allāh sent Prophet, and in His holy book saying about for what we are created, the wisdom of our creation. Prophet (saws) 23 years teaching us. Why - the wisdom of to be in this life. Why Allāh created us. Nobody can say "I didn't know, I thought it is I am coming here to harm people, to kill people, to do bad thing for people to do every bad thing, every forbidden thing. For this I thought I was created." No, it is, cannot be to say this, it cannot be accepted. Because Allāh sent all His messengers, Prophets telling people what is good and what is not good. So it is bad to do what Allāh forbid and Prophet (saws) telling not to do it. So for this the worst one who doing this and he is not acceptable in Divine Presence of Allāh (awj) and Prophet (saws).
Prophet, he is telling us the good thing. The good for us to be good life, happy life and happy end. Showing, Prophet (saws) his word it is the best, the most soft, the most good word, and there is millions of books printed or written by writer from - taking inspiration from Prophet (saws). And it is what he said, you must follow. To try to be our life to be good in our life, to be the best in front of Prophet (saws). Long life, maybe 100 years, more than 100 years, or 90 years many example. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we have Mawlānā, he was 92 years, mā shā’a Llāh, long life. And he is the best example for us. He was when he has very few murīd, was same. When he had 1000s of murīds also he was same. Not changing not become to change anything from his life or to change anything what order of Prophet, or order of Allāh. He was doing the same. This is Prophet (saws) saying, to be good every time, not when you're seeing people pretend to be better and when it is not, no. Every time you must be same because order of Prophet (saws).
In shā’a Llāh, we like to do this, Allāh helps us. We don't know our life be long, short, but what we must do like Mawlānā, to continue to not to be lazy. Sometimes, no need to do this or that, no when you are doing something go
