atory.
What is the solution? It is also dropped, the obligation would be dropped, if it is followed by a requital Hajj. It can be performed instead of a man and instead of a woman if they were unable to do it while they were alive. Someone else can be sent instead. This is also a mercy for the Nation2 through the allowance of our Holy Prophet (SAW). If someone else does it for themselves, it is as if they performed Hajj, as if they did it themselves.
For example, they might be ill and they cannot go, so they send someone else instead. If one dies before being able to perform Hajj, the requital Hajj is done on their behalf. The obligation will have dropped and the person would gain rewards. That is why they do this. May Allah accept it of those who do it and grant it to everybody Inshallah.
This is a matter of kismet. If they cannot go, they have not been invited. But what can you do? It is out of hand. Allah (JJ) opened this door as mercy. So we also advice it. There might be some who could not do it. The person might be well-off and they can do it on behalf of their father, mother, or grandfather. May their Hajj be accepted. May Allah grant us to go as well Inshallah.

160.DO NOT TORTURE THE SACRIFICE Wednesday, September 7, 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.
Zilhijja is a holy month, it is the month of Hajj. Sacrificing is a duty1 on those who are able to do it. It is a duty on the person when a certain amount of money is reached. It is a wajib in the Hanafi school of thought2 and a decisive tradition3 in the Shafi’i mazhab. Because there is no wajib in the Shafi’i mazhab. Only sunna. But it is a sunna mu’akkada, meaning it is a worship that needs to be done.
Sacrificing animals is done for the sake of Allah (JJ). Those who are not well-off, who only have enough money for a sacrifice, can cut it and consume it themselves. They will have met their 2-3 months of need for meat. There were no refridgirators and the such in the past, but people would still braise the meat, dry it, or do something. Now there are freezers. You place it in the freezer and it lasts for 3-5 months. It is of benefit for the world and for the hereafter. A person gets a reward for each strand, however many strands are on it. Alah gives one reward for each strand.
Those animals are also sacred animals. Butchers these days torture the animals. Firstly, you have to use a sharp knife to butcher it. It is alright once you cut the main arteries and the air and food pipes. Leave the animal. They have submitted themselves for the sake of Allah. Do not torture those poor animals. Leave it there. Leave it for ten minutes, and allow for life to come out of the animal. Do not immediately go for its nerve and vein. Do not break its neck.
These are all going to be questioned for. O butcher, you have tortured the animal! You will be questioned for this. Thinking to make two more pennies, you will suffer its punishment in the hereafter. We had forgotten this issue. A gentleman recorded the animal he butchered in a video. Whereas he cut it well, we saw that he was trying to cut it further. Leave it, for you have cut it already. Leave the animal and do not torture it. That was not enough: we saw that he broke it. He broke it and he kept on running the knife on its neck, and the animal writhed to such a state.
This is a mercy. It is a worship. You need to do this in the best way. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) would caution us every year. Yet again with some people, it would enter through
one ear and exit through the other. Be careful! Allah does not show mercy to those who do not show mercy. May Allah accept your worships and make us reach many more years Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

161.A SHAYKH FOR THE WORLD Thursday, September 8, 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.
Shukr to Allāh, we went and came back from the trip safely. We visited our brothers, murīds of Shaykh Efendi. We met with them and talked. And they prayed for us and we prayed for them. This is a duty of people, Muslims, to treat each other well, pray for each other and wish goodness. By the wisdom of Allāh, Shaykh Efendi was sent as Shaykh to the whole world. He was assigned. Therefore, wherever there was a demand, Shaykh Efendi would go until there. And we are trying to carry out that duty after him as much as we can. Shukr to Allāh, everywhere we went, Shaykh Efendi has made firm foundation there. This ṭarīqah is growing. The truth, Islām is growing, shukr to Allāh. Shaykh Efendi didn't go for touring. He toured a bit in the beginning, but afterwards when we went together and he wasn't able to go for long trips anymore. We went 15 years ago in 2001. We can say he couldn't step out of the door. It was so crowded that he didn't have a chance. What they [awliyā’] like in this world is to be with Muslims, to lead people to guidance. This is the biggest pleasure for them, the greatest beauty. Otherwise, the beauty of this world or this or that is not important for them.
And people there, shukr to Allāh, love these Awliyā’ and respect them. Islām didn't go to those far places with war. It reached with good people, with righteous servants. With their strength of faith huge countries entered Islām. For example the big island of Indonesia, not the biggest but the most populated island of Java, there are nine Awliyā’. For their honor, people became Muslim. We went to visit them last time. A holy one named Sharīf HidāyatuLlāh, it is not clearly known where he came from, either from Arabia, or Central Asia. They have such a one. But when you visit him, the majesty of Awliyā’ can be seen. He brought all people from disbelief to faith. There are eight more like him. Nice maqāmāt and tombs were made for them at every place. With their blessings, people are in guidance up to now. To respect them is to respect our Prophet because they didn't want anything for themselves.
As we said, if a person reaches guidance, it is better than the whole world as our Prophet said: the more people who come to guidance, the happier they are, the more they [the awliyā’] like it. In shā’a Llāh our purpose, the way of Shaykh Efendi is going on. Because the foundation is firm with their blessing. The building is going higher on that
foundation. He doesn't want anything from this world's benefits, not power, nor wealth. No. It is for the pleasure of Allāh. A person with a mind should think on it. Because when we went to these places 15 years ago, how many people left this world. People became old. Nothing stays the same. Nothing is eternal. It is with your good deeds, nice actions that you are in the hearts of people. We thought that in 15 years nobody would remember Shaykh Efendi. We went and mā shā’a Llāh they became more. They remember Shaykh Efendi and told us their memories. This cannot be forgotten. But if it was a bad person, nobody would want to hear or talk about him or remember. Everyone shares his memory about Awliyā’ such as: "Shaykh Efendi told us this, he visited us, he prayed for us. With his prayers we have kids and our work is good and everything good happened."
Therefore, a person should be on the right way and not seek the benefit of this world. He should think about the benefit of his ākhirah. That is the important thing. Gaining is in ākhirah, there's nothing in this world. If you rule over the whole world for 5, 10, 100 years, they will say "The man is gone. We are saved now." Don't be like this. Ruling over the world and having it said "We are saved from him" is a proof of weakness. His end is not good. All this fame, greatness, money, wealth is just a step away. You close your eyes and it's gone. You'll be thrown under the ground and then they will swear at you. It's better not to have it at all.
May Allāh give the best in shā’a Llāh. May He give the best from what He gives.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we have been long trip to visit places where Mawlānā Shaykh he was visiting. Because Mawlānā Shaykh he was Shaykh for whole, whole people, whole world, not only for here. So he was going as much as he can, not stopping at all and going for sake of Allāh. Not for tourist, to look for beauty of here and there. No his main aim where is people they want him, they love to meet him, he was accepting their invitation and he would try and go and make them happy. Because, happiness for Awliyā’u Llāh is to meet with good people, to give one person who was not right way, if he can take him to hidāyah to make him to come to right way, this is the most happiness for him. Not happiness to travelling or to see new countries, new...no. Because Mawlānā last trip when we were with him, he was even not putting one foot out of the house from people, who were looking, seeing him, speaking with him, and he was happy, not complaining. "I want see here, see there." No, his happiness only to be people happy with him.
And he make strong foundation, strong building for Islām, for ṭarīqah, for reality. Because these people they have good manners, and they are respecting Awliyā’u Llāh. Because their country especially did not become Muslim by war, by sword, no. By Awliyā’u Llāh, beloved people of Allāh. Whole country from the biggest population in Indonesia is Java. There is nine Saints, nine Awliyā’u Llāh. This without fighting,
without doing anything, just by their strong belief, imān, and their karāmah all this island become Muslim. And they have their grave there, very powerful. People still until now they're visiting them and respecting them. We visit one of them. In shā’a Llāh if Allāh gives us life we can in shā’a Llāh one by one we will visit nine of them in shā’a Llāh. This was near - his name Sharīf HidāyatuLlāh. He is coming, they don't know from where he is coming but he is maybe they say from Yemen, some of them they say from central Asia, but they don't know, but he was making this area whole Muslim. And he is has karāmah and even Sulṭāns they are, they have graveyards near him. And the most important for human being to see this example for... for themselves.
These people they were, they don't have any power for Sultanate or money or anything, only their power spiritual power. And they're praised and their people loving them until Qiyāmah. And there are people they are ruling 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, 30 years, and they are oppressing people and after what will they have when they're died? Nothing, only people they are happy to get rid of them. Who has good mind, good thinking, must think about this. This dunyā only very short time, you get it. But if for ākhirah it is forever. Even after you died people they are thinking good thing about you. They are remembering you, they're making du‘ā’ for you. And this is for Awliyā’u Llāh, all Awliyā’u Llāh because since long time when we are not going some place it is like maybe 15 years maybe we didn't go. After this, I thought these people they forget Mawlānā, because Mawlānā 15 years must be nobody remember him I said, by themselves. But al- ḥamdu liLlāh when we are there, they all remember and they are all happy with Mawlānā. Everybody they said, "Mawlānā he was told me this. He said for me this, he made du‘ā’ for me like this and I succeeded." And all big and small people, all they have his memory and they are not forgetting. Allāh not make these people to forget. But for who are only running after dunyā it is Allāh make these people to forget, and to be people happy when these people disappear. But for Awliyā’u Llāh and good people all time they have good memory for them in minds of people. In shā’a Llāh Mawlānā he put strong building in everywhere, not only this - we say Far East, Far West, far North, South, everywhere alḥamdu liLlāh his barakah his support, and from...until Qiyāmah it must be. It is al-ḥamdu liLlāh. because many people even they saw Mawlānā, "we saw him in dream." And this is karāmah for Mawlānā, for people who are not seeing him at all or some need anything. He when say, coming for them for madad, to support them. We are seeing this and we are happy with this, and in shā’a Llāh his.... what he intended... it is going al-ḥamdu liLlāh until Qiyāmah.

162.THE TEN DAYS OF DHŪ L-ḤIJJAH Friday, September 9, 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.
These are the days for good deeds. It is a holy season, Ashhuru l-ḥarām, the second month. Dhū l-Qa‘dah, Dhū l-Ḥijjah, and Muḥarram, these three months, Rajab comes separately, but these three are together. These are the holiest days. These ten days Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla swears an oath on it. There are some oaths special to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. We don't say them. He (jj) says: "wal-fajr" (89:1). He (jj) swears. "Wa layālin ‘ashr" (89:2) -are the ten days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. He (jj) takes an oath on them. Ordinary people can only swear by the name of Allāh (awj). If you swear in the name of your honor, it isn't swearing. Some people between themselves have a kind of swear, it isn't valid. It is not valid according to sharī‘ah. If you swear on your honor, on someone's dead body, these aren't oaths. These are nonsense, no need for penance or fasting [like when] you swear in the name of Allāh.
There are some kinds of swearing. Allāh Azza wa Jalla swears on the ten days of this holy month, these are from oaths special for Him. These are such holy days. Allāh (jj) makes a season to bestow grants. He makes such days so people repent more, turn to Allāh (jj). Tarwiyah is the 8th day, 9th day is ‘Arafah. Whoever fasts, all his sins are forgiven. If you fast on ‘Arafah day, all your sins of the last year are forgiven and also for the next year. These are such honorable days. Allāh (awj) says all prayers are accepted on ‘Arafah day. Mention Allāh (jj) abundantly in these days. Plead to Allāh, so Allāh (awj) gives you what you want. Everyone, every Muslim should honor these days. They aren't like other days. People celebrate unnecessary days, no use in them. Benefit is for hereafter. No matter how long you live, you leave what you collected in this world. We saw Pharaoh, Qārūn, when they died they left everything behind. They died and left. Because they weren't buried they put them out for people to watch. We have to appreciate the valuable days.
These ten days are very important. From the first to ninth it is very good to fast. If you can't fast all, you can fast on the 8th and 9th day. If you can't fast on the 8th day, you should fast on ‘Arafah day, don't miss it. That is a holy day, you need to read 1000 Ikhlāṣ as-sharīf on that day. After reading 1000 Ikhlāṣ as-sharīf, if you like you can say lā ilāha illā Llāh, and do ṣalawāt 2000 times. Read as much Qur’ān as you can. If you have to
make up for any prayers, do so. There are more rewards on this holy day, thousand times more. Then you have to slaughter a sheep [for Eid]. Don't forget that. You can have some [of the meat] and share with others, with the poor, with relatives and friends. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla rewards for each hair of the sheep.
There are millions of hair on a sheep. For each of them Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla rewards you.
Starting from ‘Arafah day, you have to say takbīr until ‘Aṣr time on the 4th day [of 'Id]. Most people forget that. It ends after ‘Aṣr. In the morning of ‘Arafah day you'll say takbīr after each farḍ prayer. Don't forget this, in shā’a Llāh.
May Allāh make us reach such beautiful times with Mahdiī ‘alayhi s-salām, in shā’a Llāh. The world is going in that direction. He says; "kullu ātin qarīb", anything coming is near. If something will come, you'll see it comes soon. Our Prophet (sas) gave good news about Mahdī (as). It can happen any time. "wa mā dhālika ‘alá Llāhi bi‘azīz" (35:17). Nothing is difficult for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. What happens in one year may happen in one day. We saw Allāh's wisdom, He made us get over in one night, what would happen in one year otherwise. In shā’a Llāh Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes soon because the whole world is trying to finish Islām. They attack Islām thinking "these ignorants they are fighting each other, we can finish them." Allāh is with us. Allāh has a promise, an oath. It will happen. He will certainly make the whole world Muslim. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla with Mahdī (as). There is no other way because only Mahdī (as) can defeat shayṭān's power. Now it is his time. When Mahdī (as) comes no longer authority for it. The whole world becomes Muslim with Allāh's permission.
May Allāh make us reach those days. These beautiful times will be more beautiful at that time with Allāh's permission.
These days it is very holy days, very holy month. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla swear on these days. He said "wa l-fajr wa layālin ‘ashr" (89:1,2). What meaning? "For morning and ten holy days." And it is swear. It is only for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. We cannot say this swear [oath] by ourself. There is many kinds of swear. And there is some of them only for Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He said like "wa l-fajri wa layālin ‘ashr, wa sh-shaf‘i wa l-watri, wa l-layli idhā yasr" (89:1-4) "wa t-tīni wa z-zaytūn wa ṭūri sīnīn" (95:1-2) Many things like this, it is only for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Special for Him.
For normal people, if you will swear only by name of Allāh - "waLlāhi". When you say this, you are swearing. And if you didn't ... when saying this, say "WaLlāhi I will do this" and you didn't do it, you must fast three days or you must feed ten people. And other, there is swear for normal people. They are nonsense swear - no value for this. I don't know for English how they swear. But for other people, they maybe say "for my mother,
for my father", something like this. It is all no value, no any thing to do. If you didn't do this, no matter for you. But when you swear for Allāh name, you must make fasting or give charity for people to be clean from this swear.
And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, why He swear for these ten nights? Because they are very holy nights from beginning of Dhū l-Ḥijjah until 10th of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. And it is days you can, if people able to fast, they can fast from 1st Dhū l-Ḥijjah until 9th - nine days. But who are not fasting this, they can also fast in 8th and 9th. And who fasts 8th, Allāh reward him like Ayyūb ‘alayhi s-salām.
He was patient for his illness. For all what he suffering, he was patient. And 40 years he didn't say anything. And in one day you fasting, Allāh reward you as him, as Ayyūb ‘alayhi s-salām. And who fast 8th and 9th, Allāh forgive him for one year before and one year after. Because for ‘Āshūrā’ day Allāh forgive for only one year before. This for Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām. But for Prophet (saw) he give it double, so He forgive from one year before and one year after. So we must, if we can do, fasting two days - 8th and 9th. It is very good, perfect. But maybe some people, they cannot fast, only 9th also you can fast. No problem, not like ‘Āshūrā’ - one day also you can fast. And it is Allāh reward you 1,000 of rewards from His endless treasure.
And it is day blessed and holy day. You must make remember Allāh, reading Qur’ān and praying. And especially you must 1000 times Ikhlāṣ sharīf. This is everybody he must do it in shā’a Llāh. And who can like to do more, can do lā ilāha illā Llāh, Muḥammad Rasūlu Llāh, ṣalawāt sharīf 2,000 times. Many things and not to make... Be careful not look to ḥarām and not, to keep his tongue from ḥarām also, his ear from ḥarām, to be one day ‘Arafah day, to keep himself away from... try to do as Allāh like to be. It is gift from Allāh. We must appreciate this. Try to do the best what we can do, in shā’a Llāh.
And don't forget from beginning of Fajr of 9th Dhū l-Ḥijjah, after each farḍ you must make Takbīr - Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar Lā ilāha illā Llāh Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar wa liLlāhi l-ḥamd. This is until 4th day of ‘Īd. After ‘Aṣr you finish this. And ‘Īd also who can slaughter, it is wājib for Ḥanafī. For Shāfi‘ī, sunnah mu’akkadah. Because Shāfi‘ī, they don't have wājib. Sunnah mu’akkadah meaning like farḍ, like wājib. So who is able to slaughter, he must slaughter. Because if he is not so rich but he has enough money to slaughter, this meat he can eat also, not only for people. If he like, he can give for people also. He can give for poor people and for himself. Also they can leave. And Allāh reward this for each wool [hair] one ḥasanah, reward, one reward. And you imagine in one sheep, millions of wool it have.
And you must be tell this who is cutting sheep to be merciful, mercy for this creature. They are holy creature. And they are only... We must respect them. We must be mercy
with them. There is ignorant unbeliever people, they are seeing this is bad what they are doing, they are cutting. But no, this Allāh make this special for worshipping, and this animal they are happy, happy to be slaughtered for ‘Īd for qurbān, especially for believer people. Who are not happy? Who are sorry what they are not saying name of Allāh when they are cutting. This is the worst thing can animal have in this. But when they are cutting for worshipping and by name of Allāh, nothing affect them and they are not feeling any pain. But there is one thing, they make this, who making this, many of these butchers they are doing this. After they cutting animal, they not waiting to its soul to go out. Quickly they hurry to cut another one, breaking neck and cutting from inside. And this is very painful for animal. And Mawlānā, every time he was saying for this point, telling people. And people, still many of them they are doing this. So every time who are listening this, you must tell these people to not do this. It is very harmful for this animal. Allāh, He is merciful and He like merciful people. We must be careful for this in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh make this ‘Īd, next ‘Īd to be nicer, better with in shā’a Llāh Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. Because it is easy for Allāh. We are seeing what Mawlānā he was saying about Turkey and others. He said the army will be divided and it will be some months between this. But alḥamdu liLlāh in one night Allāh finished this. Army divide and everything finish in one night. For appearing Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām also can be. Everything easy for Allāh, not difficult. in shā’a Llāh we hope next year to be with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.

163.LOVE THE PROPHET! Saturday, September 10, 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) is the biggest gift, biggest favour of Allāh (jj). we have beeen honored to be from his (saw) nation. Thousands of thanks to Allāh (jj). To be from the nation of the Prophet (saw) is something that other prophets wished. The prophets (as) prayed: "we wish were from his (saw) nation, it is ok even if we aren't prophets". They all lived with his (saw) love, with his (saw) affection. Because he (saw) is the servant, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla loves. Whoever Allāh loves, good people love him.
Love of the Prophet (saw) is farḍ on Muslims. The Prophet (saw) says: "Who doesn't love me more than his mother, father, children - they aren't real believers". There is Imān, there is Islām. Imān means to strongly believe in Allāh (jj). That's a very high degree. Its reward is big here and hereafter. Once you get that taste of belief you can't enjoy the other tastes of this world. The companions loved our Prophet (saw) with such love. Awliyā’, Tābi‘īn coming after the companions taught that love of the Prophet (saw) to everyone. Allāh helped with that love. Because if you love who Allāh loves, Allāh loves you.
Allāh (jj) created our Prophet (saw) in the most perfect way. He (saw) has the best attributes, also physically. Physically nobody had his beauty. When people sweat, they stink. Our Prophet's (saw) sweat smelled like rose. Once that smell touched, it wouldn't go away. Real rose scents now they disappear in 5 minutes. Fake ones stay for 2 days, even if you wash your hand - that's something else. We want the real one. Because the Prophet's (saw) was real, the most real one, it wouldn't go away. His voice, beauty, peace had no equal. Thanks to Allāh some people still see the Prophet (saw) in their dreams. Some people are delusional and say that they saw the Prophet (saw) in their dreams often. He (saw) rarely appears. Normally you can see him (saw) once or twice. Some people tell as if they saw their friend. They see something else. Because when you see the Prophet (saw) in your dream, that's happiness. No need even to interpret that dream. He gets the best thing, that's Allāh's (jj) gift. Once you see him (saw) no need for anything else. Even interpreting is leaving good manners. You thank Allāh for seeing him (saw), that this blessing, divine gift comes to you. These are holy days.
For the sake of the Prophet (saw), these are beautiful days, that he (saw) showed. Yawmu tTarwiyah. Our Prophet (saw) went to last ḥajj today, to mount ‘Arafāt. First he (saw) went to Muzdalifah, second day in the morning went up to ‘Arafāt, after stopping on ‘Arafāt in the evening, he (saw) gave the khuṭbah the last khuṭbah.
Then he (saw) did the other ḥajj duties. He went down to Muzdalifah, from there to Minā, in Minā he (saw) used to sacrifice an animal. They used to distribute it. They slaughtered a lot. They used to keep some, they didn't waste it like today. They dried the meat on hot stones, it dried in couple of days. Then they completed the ḥajj, they did Ṭawāf and left. His (saw) sunnah should be practiced but now in this crowd it is impossible to do them. You make intention on the Prophet's (saw) intention, may Allāh accept it in shā’a Llāh, he (saw) accepts it. Because keeping sunnah equals the reward of 100 martyrs in the end of times. Some say sunnah isn't necessary, if you like you do it, if not don't. But people will be rewarded in the eternal life for doing it. Who don't do it will regret it in the eternal life, saying: "I wish I did it, etc". It is good to follow each step of our Prophet (saw). May Allāh make it possible for all of us in shā’a Llāh.
Today we are al-ḥamdu liLlāh in very good, very holy day, day of what Prophet (saw), the Beloved one for Allāh, he show us the best things Allāh give us, give us how to be from nation of Prophet (saw). Muḥammad (saw), he's seal of prophets and he is the Beloved one for Allāh, most Beloved one for Allāh. And Allāh He create everything for his love. And Allāh, He love somebody, make good people to love him. All angels, all believers from jinn and ’ins [men] and angels, other all creatures even animals, everything, they love Prophet (saw). They know about Prophet (saw).
Who not love Prophet (saw)? Shayṭān and his followers, because they are cursed one. Allāh He not like. He didn't, He did not love them. If love them, they must love Prophet (saw). So who are not happy with Prophet, he is cursed one. Even who will not respect him, he is unlucky. Lucky one who are following Prophet (saw). Because even prophets before Prophet (saw), they were wishing to be one of nation of Prophet (saw) instead to be a prophet. Like this they were loving Prophet (saw) and wishing to be from his nation. So al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are very lucky. And we must appreciate this - thanking for Allāh 1,000 times, 10,000 times, 100,000 times to we are created from nation of Prophet (saw).
And to love Prophet (saw), it is obligatory for believers because Prophet (saw) said "No one can be real believer until he loves me more than his father, mother, family, or even for himself." We must love Prophet (saw) more than ourself even, more than everything. The most precious thing, mother, father, family, himself. So Prophet is more precious treasure. And it is not bad to love Prophet (saw) because Allāh He create him in most perfect. Most perfect creation for Prophet (saw), spiritual and bodily. Because he's maybe if say to you love somebody he's ugly or he is not good behaved, it is difficult to love him. But Prophet (saw), very easy to love him. His everything, he was want for his
nation. From his creation until his death, every time he said "O my Lord, forgive my nation. Allāh, guide them to right way." This is his wish. He not looking for his nation to get benefit from them, to get anything from them. No. Everything he get, Allāh give him the most perfect. Very easy to love him. And it is even his sweat smelling like rose, real rose, not this ḥajjī who are cheating people for putting one and not..., making headache. When it touching, going forever.
Even in dreams sometimes people they dream and smelling his smell. And to dream for Prophet (saw), it is the most reward from Allāh for anybody to be. And it is very rare to get it, may once in life or twice, sometimes it even cannot be like this. Some people, they even for this they dreaming and they seeing another thing, they thought Prophet. It is Prophet (saw) not so cheap to he come for you or for me every day. No, it's very rare. And no need to ask for meaning for dream if you see Prophet (saw). You must make two raka‘āt shukr. Because this is the most big present from Allāh for you to see Prophet (saw) in your dream.
And he is help who love him. All ṣaḥābah were loving him. All prophets they were loving him. After ṣaḥābah, tabi‘īn, awliyā’, ‘ulamā’, all they were loving him and praising him and teaching people to encourage people to not forget, to not be not care for Prophet (saw). This all time real ‘ulamā’, they are praising and making poems, making good things, all time showing and teaching people love of Prophet (saw). But shayṭān he also not sitting with with not doing anything. Because once they bring him for Prophet (saw). And he must ask him. Prophet (saw) ask shayṭān. And he cannot lie that time. He said "Who is your most enemy for you and you most one you hate him?" He couldn't say anything. He said "You" for Prophet (saw). Shayṭān this saying. And he is still doing this even for Muslim people. They are not happy with people who are praising Prophet (saw). They say "Too much. You cannot do this. This is shirk. This is that and that". But it is real.
Awliyā’u Llāh, they are who are teaching people to love Prophet (saw). Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are in days of his showing us - today tarwiyah for his last ḥajj, Prophet (saw) Ḥajju l- Akbar, meaning when ‘Arafat in Jum‘ah day, Friday. And he isThursday went by his camel to Muzdalifah and Yawmu t-Tarwiyah they are going like this and a day of sleeping there. Next day they are by camel going to ‘Arafāt. Until maghrib make waqfah. And he make Khuṭbatu l-Wadā‘ and after coming to Muzdalifah. After Muzdalifah - Minā, to cutting, slaughter. And after this he is doing everything. But these days you cannot do everything he done in ḥajj because it is sunnah. And now people by millions and not everybody can do what Prophet (saw).
We are asking forgiveness. We like to do his sunnah. We must do his sunnah because to do his sunnah, it is also they said it is not obligatory. No. "Don't care for this. Do, only do what enough for ḥajj." But no we said "Ok, you are free to do sunnah". It is also for
you, Allāh not punishing for sunnah. But when you are in real life and end, forever you will be in jannah you will be very regret to not do anything you can do in this world. Who do this, he will see his benefit from what he done in jannah, in paradise. He wish to have done everything from Prophet (saw) done. Because to do sunnah, it is hundred shahīd. Martyr for each sunnah you do. And al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are thanking Allāh again to be from his nation. Allāh help us to do everything he done from sunnah and farḍ and everything in shā’a Llāh. This is our intention. Allāh accept our intention.

164.LABBAYKA LLĀHUMMA LABBAYK Sunday, September 11, 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.
Labbayka Llāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n- ni‘mata laka wa l-mulk, lā sharīka lak. Labbayka Llāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n-ni‘mata laka wa l-mulk, lā sharīka lak. Labbayka Llāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n- ni‘mata laka wal-mulk, lā sharīka lak.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh this holy word from Islām, from Prophet (saw). It is the most beautiful, most holy, high of word. Word of seeing Prophet (saw) teaching us this is meaning: "we are accepting You, we are coming for You. What You say, we accept. It is our duty, it is our pleasure to do it." This is meaning of this word. This is special for ḥajj. We must say it. But every time we can say it also.
Now all ḥajj, pilgrimage they are in ‘Arafah making waqfah, meaning standing making du‘ā’ between ẓuhr and ‘aṣr and waiting until maghrib. And this is their ḥajj, pilgrimage. There is many thing they try to imitate Islām. They said people, they're going to pilgrimage in this area, that holy place, that holy place. But all they are imitating Islām. And Islām ḥajj only one day. Allāh He put certain place, certain time, for certain people. Ḥajj not for all people. Who Allāh want him to be to be blessed and to be ḥajjī, making it easy for him. There is many people, they have everything from money, health, wealth, everything. They are able to go to ḥajj. But they couldn't, they can't go. This also thing not nice. And what we said? People they try to imitate Islām. And Islām open for everybody. No need to imitate, come to be real ḥajjī. Accept Allāh, say "Labbayk. O my Lord, You are calling me for dāru s-salām, the peace, place of peace, Your paradise. I am accepting. I am coming, labbayk." This is the most beautiful thing.
And everything in Islām very beautiful, very nice. But people, shayṭān and his followers, they are trying to make it look ugly. No. Because this word not human being word. It is from Lord of heavens teach us what to say, what to do. And we are accepting. And we are saying "We are coming for You because You are only one. lā sharīka lak. You are only one, the Lord of universe, the Lord of everything." No one else, only one God. Cannot be another one. Because He is Lord and He cannot be anything "Laysa kamithlihi shay’ "
(42:11) Nothing look like Him. "inna l-ḥamda wa n-ni‘mata laka wa l-mulk" This meaning the thanks for You. Everything in this world You give us, it is from You. And all, everything for You. "laka wa lmulk". Mulk meaning all, everything. We are accepting You. And we are happy with You.
In these holy days the most holy days in Dhū l-Ḥijjah. And now ‘arafah day, it is the most holiest day in year. Because this time only 5-6 hours and you'll be ḥajji. So if you go after this, you must wait one year. In one year you don't know what will happen. So it is perfect, perfect gift from Allāh. And we are happy with this. Allāh accept our praying, our du‘ā’ and give who want to be next year to ḥajj to be in ḥajj also. And we pray, in shā’a Llāh, to be with Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
We started with English for them, because they don't know what it is exactly, it is better.
This is a beautiful word, that Allāh (jj) gave us. It shows the beauty of Islām. We accepted Islām, accepted Allāh, accepted the Prophet (saw). We are coming to You. Labbayk means we are coming to You (jj), with body and soul, with joy. We are witnessing Your oneness. There is no other god than You (jj), can't be. You (jj) are not like anything. If You (jj) weren't, You (jj) wouldn't be Lord. Everything is in Your (jj) hand. All the favours are in Your hand. Glorification and thanks to You (jj). Sovereignty is Yours (jj). We are Yours (jj) O our Lord. There is nothing better than this. There is nothing better than Islām. Because Allāh (awj), who creates everything beautiful, created everything.
Ḥājjīs are at this time saying "labbayk" and stopping now, they are standing in ‘Arafāt. That happens once a year, you become a ḥajjī. They say "that group is going for ḥajj to this city, to Rome". They make ḥajj - they are imitating, imitating Islām. There is one ḥajj. It has a certain time and place. There is no other. It is once a year. That manifestation comes only at that time. Someone, who is in ‘Arafāt, makes ḥajj. Except that, even if you are ten meters outside, if you don't stop in ‘Arafāt, your ḥajj isn't accepted. Allāh (awj) arranged it in such a nice way because ḥajj isn't an easy matter no matter how comfortable you are, you are tested there. Real religion is Islām. Our Prophet (saw) taught the sharī‘ah, truth, good manners, method, with the revelation coming from Allāh (awj). Not every word we say is the word of a human being. It is the words of Allāh told to our Prophet (saw) by Allāh (jj).
So, we are happy to be Muslims. All the rest is fake. If you aren't a Muslim, whatever you do it is useless. Being a Muslim is being beautiful. Like we said, labbayk means: "We are coming to You (jj) with all our love, with joy, with body and soul." It is such a call. It is something that Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taught. May Allāh decree ḥajj for everyone, in shā’a Llāh. Next year, in shā’a Llāh, we'll be with Mahdī (as), in shā’a Llāh. This is our prayer. May Allāh accept the ḥajjīs' ḥajj. May Allāh bless them
. These are holy days. ‘Arafah day is the holiest. In shā’a Llāh, we do dhikr and ṣalawāt until evening in shā’a Llāh, we don't waste time.

165.MILLATI IBRĀHĪM (2:130) Monday, September 12, 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.
We reached this ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. May Allāh make it a blessing for all. May it be full of blessings for all our followers around the world, in shā’a Llāh. This ‘Īd is gifted to us through Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām alone, with his son, built the Ka‘bah in Mecca as Allāh (jj) ordered. There was nobody around at that time. You see it is big. Now among huge buildings it looks small but actually it is a big building. For those old times it was quite a big building. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, because he was in complete submission to Allāh, without asking why, was inspired by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to do it. He (as) built it with Ismā‘īl ‘alayhi ssalām. Ismā‘īl ‘alayhi s-salām was both Ibrāhīm's (as) son and his assistant, like an apprentice, they built it. He showed what to do.
In spite of all this, Allāh (awj) tested Ibrāhīm (as). He (jj) ordered him (as) to sacrifice his son. Ibrāhīm (as) was a very merciful prophet. When he (as) submitted, Allāh (awj) sent him a sheep instead. Since then, this sunnah of sacrificing is obligatory. According to Shāfi‘ī, it is a sunnah mu’akkadah. It continues. It brings blessings. You can't say "We sacrificed and it got less." It is a healing and blessing for people. It is a big virtue to continue it, there is a big reward. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla rewards you for each hair of that animal.
For ḥajj also Allāh (awj) said, after Ibrāhīm (as) finished building, "Call people to come". Ibrāhīm (as) said; "There is nobody around, who should I call?" "You call them, whoever hears will certainly come until the Day of Judgement." Whoever doesn't hear, it isn't in their destiny. It is also Allāh's (jj) decree, they won't come. People, who can do ḥajj are lucky because they heard Ibrāhīm's (as) call. It is their destiny. These are very holy days. They are considered the most blessed days of the year. Ramaḍān has huge blessing, this ‘Īd, ‘Arafah day, tarwiyah day is more holy in the eyes of Allāh (jj). These are the food for our souls. You can't be happy only by eating, drinking. Unless you are peaceful inside, you can't be content. But if you are peaceful, relieved inside, you can be content, happy even with dry bread. May Allāh give that happiness to us all, in shā’a Llāh, destined for us all. ‘Īd mubārak. May Allāh make us reach many more years, in shā’a Llāh.
This ‘Īd , ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá it is gift from Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm for nation, Muslim. Ibrāhīm (as) he was only him and his son Ismā‘īl. They are building Ka‘bah by order of Allāh. And there is nobody around. And they measure how to do it, Allāh inspired, give him, how to do it. He was doing. And Ka‘bah it is not small building. Nowadays you see it very small comparing the around, everything now is very big, very huge. . But old time, they were respecting and the biggest building it was Ka‘bah. And Ka‘bah, Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm (as) he built with his son Ismā‘īl (as). And very huge building at that time. And not easy to do it, but Allāh give him power and help and everything it was easy for him. Even this Maqām Ibrāhīm it was like lift, he can go up and down to build Ka‘bah mu‘aẓẓamah.
And when finish he was - "what we will do with this, nobody around." Allāh tell him, "call people, invite people to come to make ḥajj, pilgrimage." And he obey order of Allāh and calling people. But people, they...Allāh he said to him by inspiration - "This what you calling, who have naṣīb to be ḥājjī they will reply for you. And until qiyāmah they will come for ḥajj each one he has chance to come to ḥajj he will come by any way." But who is not lucky and not called by Ibrāhīm (as) he will not come to make ḥajj. And it is very big luck for who has this chance to go to Ka‘bah, because favor from Allāh his name between ḥajjīs. And Ibrāhīm (as) doing all this around Ka‘bah and ṣafā, and marwah, zamzam - all this from time of Ibrāhīm (as).
Ibrāhīm (as) he the biggest, from biggest Prophets. ūlū l-‘Azm. Allāh make him many times testing him and every time he is only nothing change from him. They throw him in fire, and he get order to cut his son Ismā‘īl and he was very fond of him maybe it was for him more difficult than to be thrown in fire. But even this he wasn't, just obeying order and Allāh accept his obedience and give him this to cut sheep, big sheep. And this coming from Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm (as) until our times to who can afford to cut sheep, he must cut. It is also favor from Allāh because this you eat and you give for people and Allāh reward you for every hair from this sheep, one reward.
We are thanking Allāh to make us from ummat Muḥammad (saws), Millati Ibrāhīm. This is order you must be happy with this, not to be your nation, happy with your nation. No. To be happy by following Sayydinā Ibrāhīm, Millati Ibrāhīm ummati Muḥammad (saws). Not race, only to be happy with this. This is happiness, other it is not. Allāh make us happy all the time, in shā’a Llāh, and following this sunnah.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
166.DON’T CHEAT Tuesday, September 13, 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.
A Muslim should be a Muslim inside rather than outside and he should be sincere so that he is an acceptable servant. This is true for every Muslim. It is more important for the people of ṭarīqah. You should be careful not to be arrogant. Don't think you are higher or superior to others. If your self esteem is too high, and then you reveal your true self you'll be ashamed. Whatever you are, you should see yourself as lower than that. Say "I'm not that good." Then you won't be shamed. You'll be free of that shame.
Your clothes are important. If you are wearing Islamic clothes or something close to Islām, you have to respect that, you have to give its value. If you can't do this then don't wear them. Because people who know say that you can't wear Islamic clothes, the sunnah clothes of our Prophet (saw) and cheat people. They called it "zunnār" - something Christians used to wear in the past, it's a rope tied around the waist. Priests, non-Muslims used it. Muslims called it a belt, they used belts. It is less harmful to wear that rope, better than wearing Islamic clothes and cheating people, injecting things, which don't exist in Islām, misleading people, misguiding them, doing bad deeds is worse.
At least this [wearing the zunnar] is clear. It won't harm anyone. Whatever he says you will do the opposite. But if he is wearing a turban, beard, jubba, people will think he is awliyā’. while he is not - leave that aside - he is under his ego's command. By wearing these clothes and doing what his ego orders is worse than that. It is like praying without ablution. Is there any use? No. Without ablution, you can pray 100 thousand raka‘āt, still it is useless, without value, no worth, neither farḍ, nor sunnah is accepted. You can't pray without ablution.
So be careful to act according to your dressing. Let's show people the right way. People thank Allāh, when they see you. So that they don't think all these Muslims are trying to cheat them. It happens from time to time. We should warn people they shouldn't think everyone with a turban is one of the awliyā’. Everybody has an ego, has a shayṭān. If they are on the right path, say ok. If they are doing wrong ask what's going on? May
Allāh not leave anyone to their ego. May Allāh protect us from such people's evil, in shā’a Llāh.
Muslim, he must be looking for himself. Who is... Of course, there is Muslim, there is mu’min, believer. Muslim, who born Muslim or become Muslim after, it is first step. Believer, it is more stronger. But for each Muslim, they must look for themself to be good behaved. It is order for every Muslim to be make himself, make his to be... look for himself to be better; not to look [on the] inside not good, [and on the] outside good; not to cheat people, first to not cheat himself. Because when you're doing this, you

atory.
What is the solution? It is also dropped, the obligation would be dropped, if it is followed by a requital Hajj. It can be performed instead of a man and instead of a woman if they were unable to do it while they were alive. Someone else can be sent instead. This is also a mercy for the Nation2 through the allowance of our Holy Prophet (SAW). If someone else does it for themselves, it is as if they performed Hajj, as if they did it themselves.
For example, they might be ill and they cannot go, so they send someone else instead. If one dies before being able to perform Hajj, the requital Hajj is done on their behalf. The obligation will have dropped and the person would gain rewards. That is why they do this. May Allah accept it of those who do it and grant it to everybody Inshallah.
This is a matter of kismet. If they cannot go, they have not been invited. But what can you do? It is out of hand. Allah (JJ) opened this door as mercy. So we also advice it. There might be some who could not do it. The person might be well-off and they can do it on behalf of their father, mother, or grandfather. May their Hajj be accepted. May Allah grant us to go as well Inshallah.

160.DO NOT TORTURE THE SACRIFICE Wednesday, September 7, 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.
Zilhijja is a holy month, it is the month of Hajj. Sacrificing is a duty1 on those who are able to do it. It is a duty on the person when a certain amount of money is reached. It is a wajib in the Hanafi school of thought2 and a decisive tradition3 in the Shafi’i mazhab. Because there is no wajib in the Shafi’i mazhab. Only sunna. But it is a sunna mu’akkada, meaning it is a worship that needs to be done.
Sacrificing animals is done for the sake of Allah (JJ). Those who are not well-off, who only have enough money for a sacrifice, can cut it and consume it themselves. They will have met their 2-3 months of need for meat. There were no refridgirators and the such in the past, but people would still braise the meat, dry it, or do something. Now there are freezers. You place it in the freezer and it lasts for 3-5 months. It is of benefit for the world and for the hereafter. A person gets a reward for each strand, however many strands are on it. Alah gives one reward for each strand.
Those animals are also sacred animals. Butchers these days torture the animals. Firstly, you have to use a sharp knife to butcher it. It is alright once you cut the main arteries and the air and food pipes. Leave the animal. They have submitted themselves for the sake of Allah. Do not torture those poor animals. Leave it there. Leave it for ten minutes, and allow for life to come out of the animal. Do not immediately go for its nerve and vein. Do not break its neck.
These are all going to be questioned for. O butcher, you have tortured the animal! You will be questioned for this. Thinking to make two more pennies, you will suffer its punishment in the hereafter. We had forgotten this issue. A gentleman recorded the animal he butchered in a video. Whereas he cut it well, we saw that he was trying to cut it further. Leave it, for you have cut it already. Leave the animal and do not torture it. That was not enough: we saw that he broke it. He broke it and he kept on running the knife on its neck, and the animal writhed to such a state.
This is a mercy. It is a worship. You need to do this in the best way. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) would caution us every year. Yet again with some people, it would enter through
one ear and exit through the other. Be careful! Allah does not show mercy to those who do not show mercy. May Allah accept your worships and make us reach many more years Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

161.A SHAYKH FOR THE WORLD Thursday, September 8, 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.
Shukr to Allāh, we went and came back from the trip safely. We visited our brothers, murīds of Shaykh Efendi. We met with them and talked. And they prayed for us and we prayed for them. This is a duty of people, Muslims, to treat each other well, pray for each other and wish goodness. By the wisdom of Allāh, Shaykh Efendi was sent as Shaykh to the whole world. He was assigned. Therefore, wherever there was a demand, Shaykh Efendi would go until there. And we are trying to carry out that duty after him as much as we can. Shukr to Allāh, everywhere we went, Shaykh Efendi has made firm foundation there. This ṭarīqah is growing. The truth, Islām is growing, shukr to Allāh. Shaykh Efendi didn't go for touring. He toured a bit in the beginning, but afterwards when we went together and he wasn't able to go for long trips anymore. We went 15 years ago in 2001. We can say he couldn't step out of the door. It was so crowded that he didn't have a chance. What they [awliyā’] like in this world is to be with Muslims, to lead people to guidance. This is the biggest pleasure for them, the greatest beauty. Otherwise, the beauty of this world or this or that is not important for them.
And people there, shukr to Allāh, love these Awliyā’ and respect them. Islām didn't go to those far places with war. It reached with good people, with righteous servants. With their strength of faith huge countries entered Islām. For example the big island of Indonesia, not the biggest but the most populated island of Java, there are nine Awliyā’. For their honor, people became Muslim. We went to visit them last time. A holy one named Sharīf HidāyatuLlāh, it is not clearly known where he came from, either from Arabia, or Central Asia. They have such a one. But when you visit him, the majesty of Awliyā’ can be seen. He brought all people from disbelief to faith. There are eight more like him. Nice maqāmāt and tombs were made for them at every place. With their blessings, people are in guidance up to now. To respect them is to respect our Prophet because they didn't want anything for themselves.
As we said, if a person reaches guidance, it is better than the whole world as our Prophet said: the more people who come to guidance, the happier they are, the more they [the awliyā’] like it. In shā’a Llāh our purpose, the way of Shaykh Efendi is going on. Because the foundation is firm with their blessing. The building is going higher on that
foundation. He doesn't want anything from this world's benefits, not power, nor wealth. No. It is for the pleasure of Allāh. A person with a mind should think on it. Because when we went to these places 15 years ago, how many people left this world. People became old. Nothing stays the same. Nothing is eternal. It is with your good deeds, nice actions that you are in the hearts of people. We thought that in 15 years nobody would remember Shaykh Efendi. We went and mā shā’a Llāh they became more. They remember Shaykh Efendi and told us their memories. This cannot be forgotten. But if it was a bad person, nobody would want to hear or talk about him or remember. Everyone shares his memory about Awliyā’ such as: "Shaykh Efendi told us this, he visited us, he prayed for us. With his prayers we have kids and our work is good and everything good happened."
Therefore, a person should be on the right way and not seek the benefit of this world. He should think about the benefit of his ākhirah. That is the important thing. Gaining is in ākhirah, there's nothing in this world. If you rule over the whole world for 5, 10, 100 years, they will say "The man is gone. We are saved now." Don't be like this. Ruling over the world and having it said "We are saved from him" is a proof of weakness. His end is not good. All this fame, greatness, money, wealth is just a step away. You close your eyes and it's gone. You'll be thrown under the ground and then they will swear at you. It's better not to have it at all.
May Allāh give the best in shā’a Llāh. May He give the best from what He gives.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we have been long trip to visit places where Mawlānā Shaykh he was visiting. Because Mawlānā Shaykh he was Shaykh for whole, whole people, whole world, not only for here. So he was going as much as he can, not stopping at all and going for sake of Allāh. Not for tourist, to look for beauty of here and there. No his main aim where is people they want him, they love to meet him, he was accepting their invitation and he would try and go and make them happy. Because, happiness for Awliyā’u Llāh is to meet with good people, to give one person who was not right way, if he can take him to hidāyah to make him to come to right way, this is the most happiness for him. Not happiness to travelling or to see new countries, new...no. Because Mawlānā last trip when we were with him, he was even not putting one foot out of the house from people, who were looking, seeing him, speaking with him, and he was happy, not complaining. "I want see here, see there." No, his happiness only to be people happy with him.
And he make strong foundation, strong building for Islām, for ṭarīqah, for reality. Because these people they have good manners, and they are respecting Awliyā’u Llāh. Because their country especially did not become Muslim by war, by sword, no. By Awliyā’u Llāh, beloved people of Allāh. Whole country from the biggest population in Indonesia is Java. There is nine Saints, nine Awliyā’u Llāh. This without fighting,
without doing anything, just by their strong belief, imān, and their karāmah all this island become Muslim. And they have their grave there, very powerful. People still until now they're visiting them and respecting them. We visit one of them. In shā’a Llāh if Allāh gives us life we can in shā’a Llāh one by one we will visit nine of them in shā’a Llāh. This was near - his name Sharīf HidāyatuLlāh. He is coming, they don't know from where he is coming but he is maybe they say from Yemen, some of them they say from central Asia, but they don't know, but he was making this area whole Muslim. And he is has karāmah and even Sulṭāns they are, they have graveyards near him. And the most important for human being to see this example for... for themselves.
These people they were, they don't have any power for Sultanate or money or anything, only their power spiritual power. And they're praised and their people loving them until Qiyāmah. And there are people they are ruling 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, 30 years, and they are oppressing people and after what will they have when they're died? Nothing, only people they are happy to get rid of them. Who has good mind, good thinking, must think about this. This dunyā only very short time, you get it. But if for ākhirah it is forever. Even after you died people they are thinking good thing about you. They are remembering you, they're making du‘ā’ for you. And this is for Awliyā’u Llāh, all Awliyā’u Llāh because since long time when we are not going some place it is like maybe 15 years maybe we didn't go. After this, I thought these people they forget Mawlānā, because Mawlānā 15 years must be nobody remember him I said, by themselves. But al- ḥamdu liLlāh when we are there, they all remember and they are all happy with Mawlānā. Everybody they said, "Mawlānā he was told me this. He said for me this, he made du‘ā’ for me like this and I succeeded." And all big and small people, all they have his memory and they are not forgetting. Allāh not make these people to forget. But for who are only running after dunyā it is Allāh make these people to forget, and to be people happy when these people disappear. But for Awliyā’u Llāh and good people all time they have good memory for them in minds of people. In shā’a Llāh Mawlānā he put strong building in everywhere, not only this - we say Far East, Far West, far North, South, everywhere alḥamdu liLlāh his barakah his support, and from...until Qiyāmah it must be. It is al-ḥamdu liLlāh. because many people even they saw Mawlānā, "we saw him in dream." And this is karāmah for Mawlānā, for people who are not seeing him at all or some need anything. He when say, coming for them for madad, to support them. We are seeing this and we are happy with this, and in shā’a Llāh his.... what he intended... it is going al-ḥamdu liLlāh until Qiyāmah.

162.THE TEN DAYS OF DHŪ L-ḤIJJAH Friday, September 9, 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.
These are the days for good deeds. It is a holy season, Ashhuru l-ḥarām, the second month. Dhū l-Qa‘dah, Dhū l-Ḥijjah, and Muḥarram, these three months, Rajab comes separately, but these three are together. These are the holiest days. These ten days Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla swears an oath on it. There are some oaths special to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. We don't say them. He (jj) says: "wal-fajr" (89:1). He (jj) swears. "Wa layālin ‘ashr" (89:2) -are the ten days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. He (jj) takes an oath on them. Ordinary people can only swear by the name of Allāh (awj). If you swear in the name of your honor, it isn't swearing. Some people between themselves have a kind of swear, it isn't valid. It is not valid according to sharī‘ah. If you swear on your honor, on someone's dead body, these aren't oaths. These are nonsense, no need for penance or fasting [like when] you swear in the name of Allāh.
There are some kinds of swearing. Allāh Azza wa Jalla swears on the ten days of this holy month, these are from oaths special for Him. These are such holy days. Allāh (jj) makes a season to bestow grants. He makes such days so people repent more, turn to Allāh (jj). Tarwiyah is the 8th day, 9th day is ‘Arafah. Whoever fasts, all his sins are forgiven. If you fast on ‘Arafah day, all your sins of the last year are forgiven and also for the next year. These are such honorable days. Allāh (awj) says all prayers are accepted on ‘Arafah day. Mention Allāh (jj) abundantly in these days. Plead to Allāh, so Allāh (awj) gives you what you want. Everyone, every Muslim should honor these days. They aren't like other days. People celebrate unnecessary days, no use in them. Benefit is for hereafter. No matter how long you live, you leave what you collected in this world. We saw Pharaoh, Qārūn, when they died they left everything behind. They died and left. Because they weren't buried they put them out for people to watch. We have to appreciate the valuable days.
These ten days are very important. From the first to ninth it is very good to fast. If you can't fast all, you can fast on the 8th and 9th day. If you can't fast on the 8th day, you should fast on ‘Arafah day, don't miss it. That is a holy day, you need to read 1000 Ikhlāṣ as-sharīf on that day. After reading 1000 Ikhlāṣ as-sharīf, if you like you can say lā ilāha illā Llāh, and do ṣalawāt 2000 times. Read as much Qur’ān as you can. If you have to
make up for any prayers, do so. There are more rewards on this holy day, thousand times more. Then you have to slaughter a sheep [for Eid]. Don't forget that. You can have some [of the meat] and share with others, with the poor, with relatives and friends. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla rewards for each hair of the sheep.
There are millions of hair on a sheep. For each of them Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla rewards you.
Starting from ‘Arafah day, you have to say takbīr until ‘Aṣr time on the 4th day [of 'Id]. Most people forget that. It ends after ‘Aṣr. In the morning of ‘Arafah day you'll say takbīr after each farḍ prayer. Don't forget this, in shā’a Llāh.
May Allāh make us reach such beautiful times with Mahdiī ‘alayhi s-salām, in shā’a Llāh. The world is going in that direction. He says; "kullu ātin qarīb", anything coming is near. If something will come, you'll see it comes soon. Our Prophet (sas) gave good news about Mahdī (as). It can happen any time. "wa mā dhālika ‘alá Llāhi bi‘azīz" (35:17). Nothing is difficult for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. What happens in one year may happen in one day. We saw Allāh's wisdom, He made us get over in one night, what would happen in one year otherwise. In shā’a Llāh Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes soon because the whole world is trying to finish Islām. They attack Islām thinking "these ignorants they are fighting each other, we can finish them." Allāh is with us. Allāh has a promise, an oath. It will happen. He will certainly make the whole world Muslim. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla with Mahdī (as). There is no other way because only Mahdī (as) can defeat shayṭān's power. Now it is his time. When Mahdī (as) comes no longer authority for it. The whole world becomes Muslim with Allāh's permission.
May Allāh make us reach those days. These beautiful times will be more beautiful at that time with Allāh's permission.
These days it is very holy days, very holy month. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla swear on these days. He said "wa l-fajr wa layālin ‘ashr" (89:1,2). What meaning? "For morning and ten holy days." And it is swear. It is only for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. We cannot say this swear [oath] by ourself. There is many kinds of swear. And there is some of them only for Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He said like "wa l-fajri wa layālin ‘ashr, wa sh-shaf‘i wa l-watri, wa l-layli idhā yasr" (89:1-4) "wa t-tīni wa z-zaytūn wa ṭūri sīnīn" (95:1-2) Many things like this, it is only for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Special for Him.
For normal people, if you will swear only by name of Allāh - "waLlāhi". When you say this, you are swearing. And if you didn't ... when saying this, say "WaLlāhi I will do this" and you didn't do it, you must fast three days or you must feed ten people. And other, there is swear for normal people. They are nonsense swear - no value for this. I don't know for English how they swear. But for other people, they maybe say "for my mother,
for my father", something like this. It is all no value, no any thing to do. If you didn't do this, no matter for you. But when you swear for Allāh name, you must make fasting or give charity for people to be clean from this swear.
And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, why He swear for these ten nights? Because they are very holy nights from beginning of Dhū l-Ḥijjah until 10th of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. And it is days you can, if people able to fast, they can fast from 1st Dhū l-Ḥijjah until 9th - nine days. But who are not fasting this, they can also fast in 8th and 9th. And who fasts 8th, Allāh reward him like Ayyūb ‘alayhi s-salām.
He was patient for his illness. For all what he suffering, he was patient. And 40 years he didn't say anything. And in one day you fasting, Allāh reward you as him, as Ayyūb ‘alayhi s-salām. And who fast 8th and 9th, Allāh forgive him for one year before and one year after. Because for ‘Āshūrā’ day Allāh forgive for only one year before. This for Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām. But for Prophet (saw) he give it double, so He forgive from one year before and one year after. So we must, if we can do, fasting two days - 8th and 9th. It is very good, perfect. But maybe some people, they cannot fast, only 9th also you can fast. No problem, not like ‘Āshūrā’ - one day also you can fast. And it is Allāh reward you 1,000 of rewards from His endless treasure.
And it is day blessed and holy day. You must make remember Allāh, reading Qur’ān and praying. And especially you must 1000 times Ikhlāṣ sharīf. This is everybody he must do it in shā’a Llāh. And who can like to do more, can do lā ilāha illā Llāh, Muḥammad Rasūlu Llāh, ṣalawāt sharīf 2,000 times. Many things and not to make... Be careful not look to ḥarām and not, to keep his tongue from ḥarām also, his ear from ḥarām, to be one day ‘Arafah day, to keep himself away from... try to do as Allāh like to be. It is gift from Allāh. We must appreciate this. Try to do the best what we can do, in shā’a Llāh.
And don't forget from beginning of Fajr of 9th Dhū l-Ḥijjah, after each farḍ you must make Takbīr - Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar Lā ilāha illā Llāh Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar wa liLlāhi l-ḥamd. This is until 4th day of ‘Īd. After ‘Aṣr you finish this. And ‘Īd also who can slaughter, it is wājib for Ḥanafī. For Shāfi‘ī, sunnah mu’akkadah. Because Shāfi‘ī, they don't have wājib. Sunnah mu’akkadah meaning like farḍ, like wājib. So who is able to slaughter, he must slaughter. Because if he is not so rich but he has enough money to slaughter, this meat he can eat also, not only for people. If he like, he can give for people also. He can give for poor people and for himself. Also they can leave. And Allāh reward this for each wool [hair] one ḥasanah, reward, one reward. And you imagine in one sheep, millions of wool it have.
And you must be tell this who is cutting sheep to be merciful, mercy for this creature. They are holy creature. And they are only... We must respect them. We must be mercy
with them. There is ignorant unbeliever people, they are seeing this is bad what they are doing, they are cutting. But no, this Allāh make this special for worshipping, and this animal they are happy, happy to be slaughtered for ‘Īd for qurbān, especially for believer people. Who are not happy? Who are sorry what they are not saying name of Allāh when they are cutting. This is the worst thing can animal have in this. But when they are cutting for worshipping and by name of Allāh, nothing affect them and they are not feeling any pain. But there is one thing, they make this, who making this, many of these butchers they are doing this. After they cutting animal, they not waiting to its soul to go out. Quickly they hurry to cut another one, breaking neck and cutting from inside. And this is very painful for animal. And Mawlānā, every time he was saying for this point, telling people. And people, still many of them they are doing this. So every time who are listening this, you must tell these people to not do this. It is very harmful for this animal. Allāh, He is merciful and He like merciful people. We must be careful for this in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh make this ‘Īd, next ‘Īd to be nicer, better with in shā’a Llāh Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. Because it is easy for Allāh. We are seeing what Mawlānā he was saying about Turkey and others. He said the army will be divided and it will be some months between this. But alḥamdu liLlāh in one night Allāh finished this. Army divide and everything finish in one night. For appearing Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām also can be. Everything easy for Allāh, not difficult. in shā’a Llāh we hope next year to be with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
’Āmīn wal-ḥamdu liLlāhi Rabbi l-‘ālamīn. Al-Fātiḥah.
163.LOVE THE PROPHET! Saturday, September 10, 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) is the biggest gift, biggest favour of Allāh (jj). we have beeen honored to be from his (saw) nation. Thousands of thanks to Allāh (jj). To be from the nation of the Prophet (saw) is something that other prophets wished. The prophets (as) prayed: "we wish were from his (saw) nation, it is ok even if we aren't prophets". They all lived with his (saw) love, with his (saw) affection. Because he (saw) is the servant, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla loves. Whoever Allāh loves, good people love him.
Love of the Prophet (saw) is farḍ on Muslims. The Prophet (saw) says: "Who doesn't love me more than his mother, father, children - they aren't real believers". There is Imān, there is Islām. Imān means to strongly believe in Allāh (jj). That's a very high degree. Its reward is big here and hereafter. Once you get that taste of belief you can't enjoy the other tastes of this world. The companions loved our Prophet (saw) with such love. Awliyā’, Tābi‘īn coming after the companions taught that love of the Prophet (saw) to everyone. Allāh helped with that love. Because if you love who Allāh loves, Allāh loves you.
Allāh (jj) created our Prophet (saw) in the most perfect way. He (saw) has the best attributes, also physically. Physically nobody had his beauty. When people sweat, they stink. Our Prophet's (saw) sweat smelled like rose. Once that smell touched, it wouldn't go away. Real rose scents now they disappear in 5 minutes. Fake ones stay for 2 days, even if you wash your hand - that's something else. We want the real one. Because the Prophet's (saw) was real, the most real one, it wouldn't go away. His voice, beauty, peace had no equal. Thanks to Allāh some people still see the Prophet (saw) in their dreams. Some people are delusional and say that they saw the Prophet (saw) in their dreams often. He (saw) rarely appears. Normally you can see him (saw) once or twice. Some people tell as if they saw their friend. They see something else. Because when you see the Prophet (saw) in your dream, that's happiness. No need even to interpret that dream. He gets the best thing, that's Allāh's (jj) gift. Once you see him (saw) no need for anything else. Even interpreting is leaving good manners. You thank Allāh for seeing him (saw), that this blessing, divine gift comes to you. These are holy days.
For the sake of the Prophet (saw), these are beautiful days, that he (saw) showed. Yawmu tTarwiyah. Our Prophet (saw) went to last ḥajj today, to mount ‘Arafāt. First he (saw) went to Muzdalifah, second day in the morning went up to ‘Arafāt, after stopping on ‘Arafāt in the evening, he (saw) gave the khuṭbah the last khuṭbah.
Then he (saw) did the other ḥajj duties. He went down to Muzdalifah, from there to Minā, in Minā he (saw) used to sacrifice an animal. They used to distribute it. They slaughtered a lot. They used to keep some, they didn't waste it like today. They dried the meat on hot stones, it dried in couple of days. Then they completed the ḥajj, they did Ṭawāf and left. His (saw) sunnah should be practiced but now in this crowd it is impossible to do them. You make intention on the Prophet's (saw) intention, may Allāh accept it in shā’a Llāh, he (saw) accepts it. Because keeping sunnah equals the reward of 100 martyrs in the end of times. Some say sunnah isn't necessary, if you like you do it, if not don't. But people will be rewarded in the eternal life for doing it. Who don't do it will regret it in the eternal life, saying: "I wish I did it, etc". It is good to follow each step of our Prophet (saw). May Allāh make it possible for all of us in shā’a Llāh.
Today we are al-ḥamdu liLlāh in very good, very holy day, day of what Prophet (saw), the Beloved one for Allāh, he show us the best things Allāh give us, give us how to be from nation of Prophet (saw). Muḥammad (saw), he's seal of prophets and he is the Beloved one for Allāh, most Beloved one for Allāh. And Allāh He create everything for his love. And Allāh, He love somebody, make good people to love him. All angels, all believers from jinn and ’ins [men] and angels, other all creatures even animals, everything, they love Prophet (saw). They know about Prophet (saw).
Who not love Prophet (saw)? Shayṭān and his followers, because they are cursed one. Allāh He not like. He didn't, He did not love them. If love them, they must love Prophet (saw). So who are not happy with Prophet, he is cursed one. Even who will not respect him, he is unlucky. Lucky one who are following Prophet (saw). Because even prophets before Prophet (saw), they were wishing to be one of nation of Prophet (saw) instead to be a prophet. Like this they were loving Prophet (saw) and wishing to be from his nation. So al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are very lucky. And we must appreciate this - thanking for Allāh 1,000 times, 10,000 times, 100,000 times to we are created from nation of Prophet (saw).
And to love Prophet (saw), it is obligatory for believers because Prophet (saw) said "No one can be real believer until he loves me more than his father, mother, family, or even for himself." We must love Prophet (saw) more than ourself even, more than everything. The most precious thing, mother, father, family, himself. So Prophet is more precious treasure. And it is not bad to love Prophet (saw) because Allāh He create him in most perfect. Most perfect creation for Prophet (saw), spiritual and bodily. Because he's maybe if say to you love somebody he's ugly or he is not good behaved, it is difficult to love him. But Prophet (saw), very easy to love him. His everything, he was want for his
nation. From his creation until his death, every time he said "O my Lord, forgive my nation. Allāh, guide them to right way." This is his wish. He not looking for his nation to get benefit from them, to get anything from them. No. Everything he get, Allāh give him the most perfect. Very easy to love him. And it is even his sweat smelling like rose, real rose, not this ḥajjī who are cheating people for putting one and not..., making headache. When it touching, going forever.
Even in dreams sometimes people they dream and smelling his smell. And to dream for Prophet (saw), it is the most reward from Allāh for anybody to be. And it is very rare to get it, may once in life or twice, sometimes it even cannot be like this. Some people, they even for this they dreaming and they seeing another thing, they thought Prophet. It is Prophet (saw) not so cheap to he come for you or for me every day. No, it's very rare. And no need to ask for meaning for dream if you see Prophet (saw). You must make two raka‘āt shukr. Because this is the most big present from Allāh for you to see Prophet (saw) in your dream.
And he is help who love him. All ṣaḥābah were loving him. All prophets they were loving him. After ṣaḥābah, tabi‘īn, awliyā’, ‘ulamā’, all they were loving him and praising him and teaching people to encourage people to not forget, to not be not care for Prophet (saw). This all time real ‘ulamā’, they are praising and making poems, making good things, all time showing and teaching people love of Prophet (saw). But shayṭān he also not sitting with with not doing anything. Because once they bring him for Prophet (saw). And he must ask him. Prophet (saw) ask shayṭān. And he cannot lie that time. He said "Who is your most enemy for you and you most one you hate him?" He couldn't say anything. He said "You" for Prophet (saw). Shayṭān this saying. And he is still doing this even for Muslim people. They are not happy with people who are praising Prophet (saw). They say "Too much. You cannot do this. This is shirk. This is that and that". But it is real.
Awliyā’u Llāh, they are who are teaching people to love Prophet (saw). Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are in days of his showing us - today tarwiyah for his last ḥajj, Prophet (saw) Ḥajju l- Akbar, meaning when ‘Arafat in Jum‘ah day, Friday. And he isThursday went by his camel to Muzdalifah and Yawmu t-Tarwiyah they are going like this and a day of sleeping there. Next day they are by camel going to ‘Arafāt. Until maghrib make waqfah. And he make Khuṭbatu l-Wadā‘ and after coming to Muzdalifah. After Muzdalifah - Minā, to cutting, slaughter. And after this he is doing everything. But these days you cannot do everything he done in ḥajj because it is sunnah. And now people by millions and not everybody can do what Prophet (saw).
We are asking forgiveness. We like to do his sunnah. We must do his sunnah because to do his sunnah, it is also they said it is not obligatory. No. "Don't care for this. Do, only do what enough for ḥajj." But no we said "Ok, you are free to do sunnah". It is also for
you, Allāh not punishing for sunnah. But when you are in real life and end, forever you will be in jannah you will be very regret to not do anything you can do in this world. Who do this, he will see his benefit from what he done in jannah, in paradise. He wish to have done everything from Prophet (saw) done. Because to do sunnah, it is hundred shahīd. Martyr for each sunnah you do. And al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are thanking Allāh again to be from his nation. Allāh help us to do everything he done from sunnah and farḍ and everything in shā’a Llāh. This is our intention. Allāh accept our intention.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
164.LABBAYKA LLĀHUMMA LABBAYK Sunday, September 11, 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.
Labbayka Llāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n- ni‘mata laka wa l-mulk, lā sharīka lak. Labbayka Llāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n-ni‘mata laka wa l-mulk, lā sharīka lak. Labbayka Llāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n- ni‘mata laka wal-mulk, lā sharīka lak.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh this holy word from Islām, from Prophet (saw). It is the most beautiful, most holy, high of word. Word of seeing Prophet (saw) teaching us this is meaning: "we are accepting You, we are coming for You. What You say, we accept. It is our duty, it is our pleasure to do it." This is meaning of this word. This is special for ḥajj. We must say it. But every time we can say it also.
Now all ḥajj, pilgrimage they are in ‘Arafah making waqfah, meaning standing making du‘ā’ between ẓuhr and ‘aṣr and waiting until maghrib. And this is their ḥajj, pilgrimage. There is many thing they try to imitate Islām. They said people, they're going to pilgrimage in this area, that holy place, that holy place. But all they are imitating Islām. And Islām ḥajj only one day. Allāh He put certain place, certain time, for certain people. Ḥajj not for all people. Who Allāh want him to be to be blessed and to be ḥajjī, making it easy for him. There is many people, they have everything from money, health, wealth, everything. They are able to go to ḥajj. But they couldn't, they can't go. This also thing not nice. And what we said? People they try to imitate Islām. And Islām open for everybody. No need to imitate, come to be real ḥajjī. Accept Allāh, say "Labbayk. O my Lord, You are calling me for dāru s-salām, the peace, place of peace, Your paradise. I am accepting. I am coming, labbayk." This is the most beautiful thing.
And everything in Islām very beautiful, very nice. But people, shayṭān and his followers, they are trying to make it look ugly. No. Because this word not human being word. It is from Lord of heavens teach us what to say, what to do. And we are accepting. And we are saying "We are coming for You because You are only one. lā sharīka lak. You are only one, the Lord of universe, the Lord of everything." No one else, only one God. Cannot be another one. Because He is Lord and He cannot be anything "Laysa kamithlihi shay’ "
(42:11) Nothing look like Him. "inna l-ḥamda wa n-ni‘mata laka wa l-mulk" This meaning the thanks for You. Everything in this world You give us, it is from You. And all, everything for You. "laka wa lmulk". Mulk meaning all, everything. We are accepting You. And we are happy with You.
In these holy days the most holy days in Dhū l-Ḥijjah. And now ‘arafah day, it is the most holiest day in year. Because this time only 5-6 hours and you'll be ḥajji. So if you go after this, you must wait one year. In one year you don't know what will happen. So it is perfect, perfect gift from Allāh. And we are happy with this. Allāh accept our praying, our du‘ā’ and give who want to be next year to ḥajj to be in ḥajj also. And we pray, in shā’a Llāh, to be with Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
We started with English for them, because they don't know what it is exactly, it is better.
This is a beautiful word, that Allāh (jj) gave us. It shows the beauty of Islām. We accepted Islām, accepted Allāh, accepted the Prophet (saw). We are coming to You. Labbayk means we are coming to You (jj), with body and soul, with joy. We are witnessing Your oneness. There is no other god than You (jj), can't be. You (jj) are not like anything. If You (jj) weren't, You (jj) wouldn't be Lord. Everything is in Your (jj) hand. All the favours are in Your hand. Glorification and thanks to You (jj). Sovereignty is Yours (jj). We are Yours (jj) O our Lord. There is nothing better than this. There is nothing better than Islām. Because Allāh (awj), who creates everything beautiful, created everything.
Ḥājjīs are at this time saying "labbayk" and stopping now, they are standing in ‘Arafāt. That happens once a year, you become a ḥajjī. They say "that group is going for ḥajj to this city, to Rome". They make ḥajj - they are imitating, imitating Islām. There is one ḥajj. It has a certain time and place. There is no other. It is once a year. That manifestation comes only at that time. Someone, who is in ‘Arafāt, makes ḥajj. Except that, even if you are ten meters outside, if you don't stop in ‘Arafāt, your ḥajj isn't accepted. Allāh (awj) arranged it in such a nice way because ḥajj isn't an easy matter no matter how comfortable you are, you are tested there. Real religion is Islām. Our Prophet (saw) taught the sharī‘ah, truth, good manners, method, with the revelation coming from Allāh (awj). Not every word we say is the word of a human being. It is the words of Allāh told to our Prophet (saw) by Allāh (jj).
So, we are happy to be Muslims. All the rest is fake. If you aren't a Muslim, whatever you do it is useless. Being a Muslim is being beautiful. Like we said, labbayk means: "We are coming to You (jj) with all our love, with joy, with body and soul." It is such a call. It is something that Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taught. May Allāh decree ḥajj for everyone, in shā’a Llāh. Next year, in shā’a Llāh, we'll be with Mahdī (as), in shā’a Llāh. This is our prayer. May Allāh accept the ḥajjīs' ḥajj. May Allāh bless them
. These are holy days. ‘Arafah day is the holiest. In shā’a Llāh, we do dhikr and ṣalawāt until evening in shā’a Llāh, we don't waste time.

165.MILLATI IBRĀHĪM (2:130) Monday, September 12, 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.
We reached this ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. May Allāh make it a blessing for all. May it be full of blessings for all our followers around the world, in shā’a Llāh. This ‘Īd is gifted to us through Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām alone, with his son, built the Ka‘bah in Mecca as Allāh (jj) ordered. There was nobody around at that time. You see it is big. Now among huge buildings it looks small but actually it is a big building. For those old times it was quite a big building. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, because he was in complete submission to Allāh, without asking why, was inspired by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to do it. He (as) built it with Ismā‘īl ‘alayhi ssalām. Ismā‘īl ‘alayhi s-salām was both Ibrāhīm's (as) son and his assistant, like an apprentice, they built it. He showed what to do.
In spite of all this, Allāh (awj) tested Ibrāhīm (as). He (jj) ordered him (as) to sacrifice his son. Ibrāhīm (as) was a very merciful prophet. When he (as) submitted, Allāh (awj) sent him a sheep instead. Since then, this sunnah of sacrificing is obligatory. According to Shāfi‘ī, it is a sunnah mu’akkadah. It continues. It brings blessings. You can't say "We sacrificed and it got less." It is a healing and blessing for people. It is a big virtue to continue it, there is a big reward. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla rewards you for each hair of that animal.
For ḥajj also Allāh (awj) said, after Ibrāhīm (as) finished building, "Call people to come". Ibrāhīm (as) said; "There is nobody around, who should I call?" "You call them, whoever hears will certainly come until the Day of Judgement." Whoever doesn't hear, it isn't in their destiny. It is also Allāh's (jj) decree, they won't come. People, who can do ḥajj are lucky because they heard Ibrāhīm's (as) call. It is their destiny. These are very holy days. They are considered the most blessed days of the year. Ramaḍān has huge blessing, this ‘Īd, ‘Arafah day, tarwiyah day is more holy in the eyes of Allāh (jj). These are the food for our souls. You can't be happy only by eating, drinking. Unless you are peaceful inside, you can't be content. But if you are peaceful, relieved inside, you can be content, happy even with dry bread. May Allāh give that happiness to us all, in shā’a Llāh, destined for us all. ‘Īd mubārak. May Allāh make us reach many more years, in shā’a Llāh.
This ‘Īd , ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá it is gift from Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm for nation, Muslim. Ibrāhīm (as) he was only him and his son Ismā‘īl. They are building Ka‘bah by order of Allāh. And there is nobody around. And they measure how to do it, Allāh inspired, give him, how to do it. He was doing. And Ka‘bah it is not small building. Nowadays you see it very small comparing the around, everything now is very big, very huge. . But old time, they were respecting and the biggest building it was Ka‘bah. And Ka‘bah, Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm (as) he built with his son Ismā‘īl (as). And very huge building at that time. And not easy to do it, but Allāh give him power and help and everything it was easy for him. Even this Maqām Ibrāhīm it was like lift, he can go up and down to build Ka‘bah mu‘aẓẓamah.
And when finish he was - "what we will do with this, nobody around." Allāh tell him, "call people, invite people to come to make ḥajj, pilgrimage." And he obey order of Allāh and calling people. But people, they...Allāh he said to him by inspiration - "This what you calling, who have naṣīb to be ḥājjī they will reply for you. And until qiyāmah they will come for ḥajj each one he has chance to come to ḥajj he will come by any way." But who is not lucky and not called by Ibrāhīm (as) he will not come to make ḥajj. And it is very big luck for who has this chance to go to Ka‘bah, because favor from Allāh his name between ḥajjīs. And Ibrāhīm (as) doing all this around Ka‘bah and ṣafā, and marwah, zamzam - all this from time of Ibrāhīm (as).
Ibrāhīm (as) he the biggest, from biggest Prophets. ūlū l-‘Azm. Allāh make him many times testing him and every time he is only nothing change from him. They throw him in fire, and he get order to cut his son Ismā‘īl and he was very fond of him maybe it was for him more difficult than to be thrown in fire. But even this he wasn't, just obeying order and Allāh accept his obedience and give him this to cut sheep, big sheep. And this coming from Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm (as) until our times to who can afford to cut sheep, he must cut. It is also favor from Allāh because this you eat and you give for people and Allāh reward you for every hair from this sheep, one reward.
We are thanking Allāh to make us from ummat Muḥammad (saws), Millati Ibrāhīm. This is order you must be happy with this, not to be your nation, happy with your nation. No. To be happy by following Sayydinā Ibrāhīm, Millati Ibrāhīm ummati Muḥammad (saws). Not race, only to be happy with this. This is happiness, other it is not. Allāh make us happy all the time, in shā’a Llāh, and following this sunnah.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥah.
166.DON’T CHEAT Tuesday, September 13, 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.
A Muslim should be a Muslim inside rather than outside and he should be sincere so that he is an acceptable servant. This is true for every Muslim. It is more important for the people of ṭarīqah. You should be careful not to be arrogant. Don't think you are higher or superior to others. If your self esteem is too high, and then you reveal your true self you'll be ashamed. Whatever you are, you should see yourself as lower than that. Say "I'm not that good." Then you won't be shamed. You'll be free of that shame.
Your clothes are important. If you are wearing Islamic clothes or something close to Islām, you have to respect that, you have to give its value. If you can't do this then don't wear them. Because people who know say that you can't wear Islamic clothes, the sunnah clothes of our Prophet (saw) and cheat people. They called it "zunnār" - something Christians used to wear in the past, it's a rope tied around the waist. Priests, non-Muslims used it. Muslims called it a belt, they used belts. It is less harmful to wear that rope, better than wearing Islamic clothes and cheating people, injecting things, which don't exist in Islām, misleading people, misguiding them, doing bad deeds is worse.
At least this [wearing the zunnar] is clear. It won't harm anyone. Whatever he says you will do the opposite. But if he is wearing a turban, beard, jubba, people will think he is awliyā’. while he is not - leave that aside - he is under his ego's command. By wearing these clothes and doing what his ego orders is worse than that. It is like praying without ablution. Is there any use? No. Without ablution, you can pray 100 thousand raka‘āt, still it is useless, without value, no worth, neither farḍ, nor sunnah is accepted. You can't pray without ablution.
So be careful to act according to your dressing. Let's show people the right way. People thank Allāh, when they see you. So that they don't think all these Muslims are trying to cheat them. It happens from time to time. We should warn people they shouldn't think everyone with a turban is one of the awliyā’. Everybody has an ego, has a shayṭān. If they are on the right path, say ok. If they are doing wrong ask what's going on? May
Allāh not leave anyone to their ego. May Allāh protect us from such people's evil, in shā’a Llāh.
Muslim, he must be looking for himself. Who is... Of course, there is Muslim, there is mu’min, believer. Muslim, who born Muslim or become Muslim after, it is first step. Believer, it is more stronger. But for each Muslim, they must look for themself to be good behaved. It is order for every Muslim to be make himself, make his to be... look for himself to be better; not to look [on the] inside not good, [and on the] outside good; not to cheat people, first to not cheat himself. Because when you're doing this, you
