Suhbah 2016: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (19/25)

are the lowest. But every time you are making yourself better... What meaning better? To be more good behave, not to lying, not to be outside different, inside different.
You must be good inside before outside. It is order for common people. For ṭarīqah people who are more believer than others, it is more important. Very important thing because you are wearing clothes of Islām, sunnah of Prophet (saw), you must be very careful. If you have these clothes and everything, when somebody seeing you, they say this is... They cannot say this is not Muslim. Only they can say this is Muslim. So you must give this value for this, what you have. If you don't give value, to not wear - this is better. Because you are cheating people. And they are people cheated by your Islāmic sunnah Prophet (saw) clothes. And they are... For this, Awliyā’u Llāh, they were saying better who are wearing this called zunnār for nonMuslim people. Before old time they were wearing this. Specially priest some rope they are tying, they call it zunnār. This is saying for non-Muslim. They are better than who are wearing sunnah and they are doing bad things.
Because people who are wearing zunnār, they know this - know they are careful from them. Everything they said they are not accepting. But when you are wearing sunnah of Prophet (saw), sunnah wearing, you look like mashāyikh, look like ahlu l-ṭarīq, ṣūfī with turban, jubbah, beard. Everything you have, you make like trap for people. And you are doing every bad thing for these people. It is worst and not acceptable at all. It looks like who are praying without wuḍū’, ablution. Maybe you pray 100 raka‘āt a day, 1,000 raka‘āt, 100,000 raka‘āt also - not accepted. Because you don't have any... First most important thing ablution. So it is like this. What you are doing, it is not acceptable for you. And you will be asked for this. And who are your Shaykh, he will not look for your face because you're doing bad thing for people who are surrender themself for you, for Allāh, for everything. And they are by their pure heart following. So when you do this, it is big punishment for you. Allāh...
It is sometimes coming people like this. Every time we try to warn people from these people and warn ourself also to not be following our ego. We must be controlling our ego. For very few benefit of dunyā don't waste your good deeds. Everything you look like very good. Even sometimes you are 10 years in ṭarīqah, 20 years some people, some
people, they are saying 40 years. And also shayṭān can cheat them. And we are telling our people everywhere, like Mawlānā Shaykh saying, beware of shayṭān. Shayṭān he is he can be everywhere, in every shape. So don't be cheated by shayṭān if he is wearing turban, jubbah and beard. He can be everywhere. Be careful. If you see you are not happy with what he is doing, you are suspected (suspicious), you have some people to ask. Ask about these people if they harm you [in order] to not harm other people also. Allāh save us from our ego and shayṭān in shā’a Llāh.

167.THEN HE CURES ME (26:80) Thursday, September 15, 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‘ūdhu biLlāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Wa-idhā mariḍtu fahuwa yashfīn" (26:80).
Illness is a normal thing for everyone. It is Allāh's will. When you get sick, you need to be treated. Or they say: al-ḥimyah ra’su d-dawā’ wa l-ma‘idah baytu d-dā’ Not to over eat or to watch what you eat - that is the beginning of healing. The stomach is the home of illness. You have to watch out what you eat and drink. It should be both clean and ḥalāl then it will be healing. Illnesses have increased in the last years because they mixed things into what we eat and drink, into what we plant, into everything. That's why food had gotten more abundant. There used to be less food. People weren't able to eat everything. There weren't so much illness. Now illness has increased. This has become a trade.
Allāh tells people to watch out what they eat. "Wa kulū mimmā razaqakumu Llāhu ḥalālan ṭayyiban" (5:88). Watch out what you eat. If you do, there won't be so much illness. But of course people can't control their ego. They eat. There is a way to eat. Before you sit down to eat you'll say bismiLlāh and wash your hands. Now I don't see that tradition anywhere. There is no habit of washing hands before eating. Even worse, they invented wet wipes, they put scent in it. You wipe your hands than you eat. After you eat, you wipe your hands with it. It is exactly a non-Muslim habit. They don't use water. Washing with water before and after eating is a sunnah. You make du‘ā then you sit down for eating. If you don't know du‘ā, at least say BismiLlāh. Read Fātiḥah. Say: "May this food be healing, health and light". It isn't only to fill the stomach, we eat to get benefit for our souls. Before starting to eat, it is sunnah to put your finger in salt, and start with salt. After finishing and making du‘ā again finish it with salt. It is a cure for 70 illnesses, outward and inward illnesses. After that, wash your hands, thank Allāh. The manner of eating is very important. It isn't only filling your stomach, you eat so it won't be a burden on you, it will be light, it will give power for our belief, for worshipping. You have to eat with that thought. If you eat like this, you remember Allāh (jj) then your eating will be counted as worship. There will be less illness then. When you get sick, if you have to go to a doctor, you should say " the cure is from Allāh (jj). When you are ill, don't put
yourself at risk says Allāh (awj), our Prophet (saw). Look what it is, search for its cure. But that is a means. Healing isn't from people, healing is certainly from Allāh (jj). When you are taking medication the same - "May it cure me, may Allāh (jj) put cure in it."Don't ever think - "This medicine cured me." If you do, there will be no benefit and you'll fall into sin. We need to remember Allāh (jj) in every case. Everything is in Allāh's (jj) hand.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla creates a means. With that means, there is a cure, or the illness passes by. When you are ill, you need to search for a good doctor, who believes in Allāh (jj). When he is a non-believer, it is useless because he has to look with BismiLlāh. If an operation is needed, it needs to be done with BismiLlāh so it will be healing. Today's people have anxiety. Sometimes even without being ill they think they are ill. Without any need the doctors make an analysis Allāh (jj) bless the government, they have made it free. They make analysis without any need. There is no need. Don't go there. Don't go into it, when there is no need. Because the body changes sometimes, it can restore itself later. That's why don't go to check up every month, don't overthink it. May Allāh (jj) not put us in need.
We are speaking about illness. The ayat "wa-idhā mariḍtu fahuwa yashfīn" (26:80). This is: if I am becoming ill, sick, Allāh cures me. It is these days many illness. Everywhere people they are complaining from illness, from every kind of illness. Before Prophet (saws) he was saying "al-ḥimyah ra’su d-dawā’ wa l-ma‘idah baytu d-dā’." Meaning - to be careful for what you eat, to not eat everything, it is the head of cureness, top of cureness. And stomach it is home of illness. This meaning we must look for what we are eating, what you are drinking, you must be careful for this because everything coming from eating. And to beginning you must look for good food, clean food. But people these days they are mixing everything.
Before eating, until food is coming to you, this is also they're making many thing to bring this food for you so it is not so good. But more important than from this, to look for yourself what you are eating, how you are eating. It is important. Even when we are beginning for eating, you must wash your hand. This is sunnah, but these days everywhere I go, even in Ṭarīqah and Muslim, nobody looking for this. To wash the hand, maybe they have this very bad [thing] - they put towel with, wet towel. This is fashion now everywhere, in Muslim countries also. They are cleaning their hands, but it is not good, because water giving life. So first you must wash your hands, then after when you are coming to table to eat, you must beginning with du‘ā’ praying. If you don't know you must say Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, Fātiḥah. After you must put finger in salt and take little bit salt. Before eating and after eating, this also Prophet (saws) saying it is cureness for 70 illness, spiritual and material illness. After when you finish you must also pray, praying du‘ā’ and make Fātiḥah and wash your hands again. This is important for us not only to fill our stomach, also this food to be help for our worshipping, not only to enjoy. We are intention, we are eating this to make, to be light
also for us. So this giving your body cureness and pureness, and health. And after you wash your hand, it is important if you have any illness maybe small illness. People these days they are making from small thing big thing, if not serious, necessary no need to run for hospital or for doctor. But if there is necessary it is also you must go. Don't let yourself to be in danger. For Prophet (saws) he said "wa lā tulqū bi-aydīkum ilá t-tahlukah" (2:195) Don't put yourself in danger - you go to doctor but when you are going to doctor, you must be saying cureness from Allāh, he [doctor] is only wasīlah, means. He cannot cure us, but shifā’ from Allāh, cureness from Allāh. And he is only helping us. And when he give medicine also, don't say "this medicine cure me." No say also, "by blessing from Allāh, in shā’a Llāh this medicine help and Allāh put cureness in this. Don't forget this." Because if you're saying "this medicine cured me", it is not good behaviour. You're forgetting Allāh (awj) because everything in His hand. If He put cureness in this medicine, even if you take one, enough for curing. But if He didn't put, maybe if you take one ton, no benefit. Don't forget this everything from Allāh and you must think like this. And when you're thinking like this it is also Allāh adds as you are worshipping Him, not forgetting Him. You are remembering every time Allāh and He is happy with you and He give you rewarding for your illness, and help you to cure yourself.
And advice also to find believer doctors. Don't go to non-believer doctors because they are not saying the name of Allāh, not remembering Allāh, no benefit from these people. Allāh He give for every illness, cureness also. So, in shā’a Llāh Allāh, make illness away from us, to not to need to be looking for this. And Allāh give shifā’ cure for ill people in shā’a Llāh.

168.THE WAY OF TRUTH Thursday, September 15, 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says that If you repent for your sins before Islām and accept Islām, Allāh (jj) forgives you. Allāh (jj) is forgiving. His door of forgiveness is open for everyone. The door of repentance is open. It will be closed when the Day of Judgement is near. People, who repent before that their repentance is accepted. When they accept Islām, all their sins are forgiven. If this is the case for non-believers, it is more valid for Muslims, who made mistakes. Because they are on the way of Allāh (jj) they witness the oneness of Allāh (jj). So, always repent. "Ask forgiveness from Me (jj)" says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, "so that I forgive you." Don't be stubborn. Don't insist on doing a bad deed, so that you'll be forgiven, so that Allāh (jj) forgives you and shows mercy.
Whatever sins you have, no need to tell people. Because Allāh (jj) is as-Sattār, He covers. If you hide your sin and do not tell anyone, Allāh (awj) says: "I won't disgrace him, I forgive him." Without anyone hearing, this person won't be disgraced on the Day of Judgement. Of course now, because it is the end of time, people commit a lot of sins, make many mistakes. The door of repentance is open so that they won't be judged in the hereafter because of those sins. Allāh (jj) forgives. They shouldn't miss that chance. They shouldn't be stubborn.
Now Muslims treat other Muslims badly, they side with the non-believers, with the shayṭān. Why? Because they are stubborn. They say: "They did this to me, they are my enemies." It can't be. "A Muslim can't be angry with another Muslim for more than three days." says our Prophet (saw). There can't be enmity between Muslims. They are making mistakes. Knowing your mistakes is a virtue. Don't insist on your mistakes. If you do, you'll be like shayṭān. Shayṭān knows its mistake, it deliberately persists. Stubbornness is the biggest attribute of shayṭān. Shayṭān is stubborn. A Muslim is constant. He remains constant in truth. Don't make trade with the truth. Truth is ordered by Allāh (jj). Truth is clear, falsehood is clear. If you are in shayṭān's hand, in the unbelievers' hand, you aren't with the truth, you are insisting on falsehood, you are stubborn, you are with shayṭān.
People do this to satisfy their bad ego. Everybody has it. Some people have bigger. They
harm people. Some harm their own people. Some harm Islām. They will be accountable for giving harm. If they repent Allāh (jj) forgives. But if they insist they'll get more punishment. As a leader of people the sins of his followers, ten people, a hundred people, are written for him because they trusted and followed him. Some people know their sin, some don't. This not only happens in politics, it happens at all social levels. People even speak in our name: "He said like this, this is the order. It is done like this, this is normal". Normal for us is the truth. It is Allāh's (jj) orders, it is what the Prophet (saw) showed. We don't accept, can't accept, anything other than that. Whoever it is. Allāh's order is one thing, friendship is something else. If you are a friend, you have to obey Allah's orders. Our friends are Allāh (jj) and the Prophet (saw). Our friend's friend is a friend, our friend's enemy is our enemy. This should be known.
May Allāh (jj) keep us on the right way.
Be careful. Someone, who tells people in Allah's way, things that aren't Allāh's (jj) orders will get more punishment. We don't accept these things. We don't accept people, who aren't in the way of truth. We are saying this in the presence of Allāh and people so that it won't be a burden on the Judgement Day. Because we don't have any intention to carry burdens for anyone's sake. May Allāh (jj) correct all of us, not leave us to our egos, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān for all human being, especially for non-believers, "in yantahū yughfar lahum mā qad salaf" (8:38) If you are give up from to be enemy and to do, to not do bad thing, and you believe in Allāh, Allāh He forgive you for what you done before. Everything before becoming believer accepting Allāh Azza wa Jalla, Prophet (saw), everything it is forgiven for you. What you done, all Allāh forgive you. You cannot find more mercy from [than] Islām religion.
Now everything against Islām. And they are claiming they are merciful. You cannot be. Because anything you do, you must... They are not accepting forgiveness, not forgiving. And they are trying to punish. But Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla, He said "I am accepting and forgiving who are accepting Islām." Prophet (saw) saying "al-Islām yajubbu mā qablah Islām" Everything before Islām you done it is, if you become Muslim, no questioning for this. Because in Qiyāmah, Day of Judgment, everything will be asked. From childhood not asking. From teenager, when become teenager, you will be asked until your death - if you prayed, if you fast, if you make ḥajj, or you do all good, you do bad. For everything you will be asked. But if you are non-Muslim and become Muslim, you will be just from beginning, if even you are 90 years old, nothing you asked. Even if after one day you die, also you will be safe. Nothing asked for what you done before. There was in time of Prophet (saw) one, when he was going to conquer Khaybar there was one shepherd and he was shepherd taking flock to feed them and he hear about Prophet and come to Prophet (saw). He said "I want to become Muslim." He said "Ok". But he said "I am honest one. I must give these sheep for the owner. And after I come and become Muslim." And he come, give all this for owner and he was fighting and he become martyr. Even he
didn't pray one time. And Prophet (saw) he said this is shahīd and he is in highest station.
This is what Islām - it giving honor for people who are accepting the Lord, the Creator. It is very important and it is bless from Allāh. But nowadays it is last days of dunyā world so now become every nation against Islām. Whole world now two camps. All attacking Islām. But Islām still saying: if you give up and come to Islām, even this Allāh He accept you. He not ask you what you done before.
But shayṭān not accepting this. He want to show Islām as bad thing. But bad thing who following shayṭān. Shayṭān he not forgave at all. He is stubborn. And it is attribute of shayṭān to be stubborn. It is for who are non-believer, not accepting truth, also they have this attribute. Attacking Islām, attacking Prophet (saw), it will be... Because if come to Islām, all this Allāh forgive. But if not accepting truth, they will be asked and they will be regret. Don't be with these people. You must be thinking to be with good people. Now many people following their ego. Even from Muslim, they are following by their ego to harm Islām and Muslim, even their country, using the shayṭān. It is for every kind of people. Even for ṭarīqah also, can be also. They are using, saying Shaykh says like this and then, he said like that - for their benefit. So for this, we are not accepting anything against order of Allāh. Saying of Prophet (saw): our way, it is the way of truth. We are not accepting not-good thing, lying or thing not in Islām, not in Qur’ān or Prophet (saw), saying of Allāh and Prophet (saw). We are not accepting this. Even for friend or other people.
They are after Mawlānā, many people, they are going around and they are wearing thing like Mawlānā - big turban with beard and jubbah. And they are even not becoming. To be seen more important they are saying Grandshaykh Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh. "We are following Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh Dāghistāni, Grandshaykh." Even for some of them, they are seeing themselves higher than Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh. This is truth. But we are not accepting this. Who are following, he must be humble. And when somebody saying like this and he wearing these clothes, he will be punished more than normal people. But we are warning people to be awake from these people, especially who they are making bad behavior. Because when they are saying like this, they are... Because they are ignorant, they are non-polite, they are misbehaved people. They are not knowing what they are saying, what its meaning. It is meaning "Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim he is nothing. We are more higher than him. We are with Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh." You cannot compare this between mashāyikh. To say this, it is very bad. Very bad thing to say this.
So people who are following, they must be very careful. Don't look for man he said "I am 40 years in ṭarīqah." Don't look at all for him. Mawlānā Shaykh Khālid al-Baghdādī in seven month he take khilāfah from Sayyidinā ‘Abdu Llāh Dahlawī. And he take ṭarīqah
to Damascus, Baghdad - Damascus. It's not important 60 years you are in ṭarīqah but you don't have any one gram from adab, from good behaviour. It is pity for you. You must be ashamed to say this. So we are only not ashaming for to say this for people because we must warn these people. Because we are we keep quiet. But these people they are not understanding from good behaviour. Mawlānā sometimes he said you must speak same language for them. What they have good, not good behaved language, you must say same thing for them. So we are... Because today live going around the world, we are saying for all our people: Be careful and don't be ashamed to say for these people "You are liar". Or if you are not, you must ask. Alḥamdu liLlāh these days everything quickly you can ask, you can get answer. If this man true or he is Dajjāl liar, you must ask.
Because we must be, our ṭarīqah is growing, Mawlānā Shaykh grow it. So we must be clean growing, not be rotten between us. Alḥamdu liLlāh all people very good. Very good. But problem with some people coming and they are making people to be suspect, confused. Allāh keep us away from these people and these too, these people away from our way, in shā’a Llāh.

169.UMRAH WITHOUT ḤAJJ? Saturday, September 17, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
We have to beware of things that Allāh (jj) has forbidden. You can't say it is permissible. We can't say permissible for the things that Allāh (jj) has forbidden. Forbidden things are clear. We understand that. It is also wrong to say forbidden to the things that are permissible. That is also a sin. So we need to ask about things that we don't know about sharī‘ah and religion. We can't say "we thought this could be..." If you aren't sure you shouldn't say it. Or you should say "I guess it is like this, but let's ask if it is permissible or forbidden." You need to double check because if you say forbidden to a permissible thing you'll commit a sin. Someone won't do it because it is forbidden, then someone else won't do it, then permissible things will seem as forbidden, which is not ok.
Our brothers came, they are going to ‘umrah. They are asking: "Can we go to ‘umrah before going to ḥajj?" If they have money, ḥajj is a farḍ (obligation). If they have money enough only to make ḥajj, ‘umrah isn't a farḍ. Ḥajj is farḍ. Going to ‘umrah in unnecessary. Because what does it mean it is farḍ on you? If you don't do farḍ, you commit a sin. Because people don't understand that ḥajj is a farḍ, we need to do it. They think if you can do it, do it. If you can't, don't do it. It is one of the five pillars of Islām. If you have money, it is farḍ to do it. It is ok if you don't do ‘umrah. Or you have money and go to ‘umrah now. At ḥajj season, you go to ḥajj. In some countries you can go to ḥajj whenever you want. It is definitely farḍ for you. But in countries, that draw lots, now all Muslim countries are like that because there isn't enough quota. You can go only if your turn comes in five, ten years. If this is the case, it isn't your fault. If Allāh (jj) didn't give you that much life you aren't accountable for that sin. Because you registered, you want to go but it isn't your turn, you can't go otherwise. So that alters the case. Then you can go to ‘umrah if you like.
But it is an important issue is ‘umrah before ḥajj forbidden or not? It is not a sin but like we said if you have money enough only for ḥajj, no for you. If you saved that money and there is no obstacle, first you have to go to ḥajj. If you still have money left you can go to ‘umrah whenever and as much as you want. This is an important matter because people don't place importance on ḥajj. This is the problem. We saw people couldn't go to ḥajj. Mawlānā used to say; "If you start saving money today, put a money box. Say I'm doing
a separate money box for ḥajj. Put five lira, ten lira as much as you can. How many years it will take to make that money you can go to ḥajj with Allāh's permission." Many people went to ḥajj with this good advice of Mawlānā. But with the money you saved, if you say "I couldn't go to ḥajj, I can go to ‘umrah" you will run out of money again, you can't go to ḥajj.
That's why people, who don't have chance to go to ḥajj they should save that money for ḥajj. If you can't go the first year, you'll go the second year. If not whenever you have money, you'll do that farḍ. You'll get that reward.
Doing the farḍ of ḥajj even if you do a hundred thousand nāfilah it won't take the place of one farḍ. Farḍ is important. So you need to be careful about religious matters. You can't decide yourself. It isn't right to listen to what people say. First we try to complete the farḍ, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh (jj) destine it for everyone in shā’a Llāh.
In our religion, Islām religion it is very sensitive and very top of the best system Allāh He is creator, He create this, the last religion Islām. He said "today I complete your religion." The end, no more Prophet, so it must be perfect. And it is perfect. And everything clear there. What is good what is not good, what is sin, what is ḥalāl, ḥarām. Ḥalāl ne demek? What is forbidden and what is not forbidden it is clearly open. So to say for forbidden thing by the Lord Allāh (awj) it is not forbidden it is sin, you cannot say this. For forbidden bad thing it is good and it is allowed to do it - we cannot say this. At least everybody they know this, but there is another thing also: to say for thing that Allāh allowed to do it and it is, you can do it, it is not allowed to do, and it is sin to do. It is also sin for who are saying this, wrong thing this! For allowed, Allāh allowed to do this and He is not forbidden, you cannot say it is forbidden. It is same wrong as you are doing wrong because you are mixing what Allāh He put this system, so you are saying opposite. It is also big wrong and sin to say this.
Everything you must be follow and if sometimes maybe you see something you think it is good, you give your opinion - "this is my opinion and I think it is good." But you must say - "maybe I am wrong, we must look also for this." When you say this ok, but "O not my opinion it is ok, you can do it" you say, it is not allowed to - wrong this is. Every time you must... because human being he has many times saying wrong thing, thinking wrong thing. So we mustn't put ourself in risk. You must say it is "we don't know, we must look it look like right, look like it is wrong." Don't make it absolute.
And, today Shaykh Abdul Aḥad, Abdul Wāḥid, he said, asking about ‘umrah... How it is allowed to go for people who are not going for ḥajj? It is allowed to go to ‘umrah without ḥajj? And it is he said, this every good question, because many people they're doing by their... just without asking, without... they going ‘umrah, they're going without asking. And even many times they're asking Mawlānā, and Mawlānā he was not giving
permission, they are going without permission also. He asked this very good...and it is obligatory to go to ḥajj, not to ‘umrah. If somebody he hasn't been in ḥajj, once in the life he must be going to ḥajj, pilgrimage. After he can every time he can anytime he can go if he like. But who are has money and his health everything good, first he must go to ḥajj. But if he not have money enough - Mawlānā many times he was saying for people, "you must put everyday one place, one corner, box - this only for ḥajj. Put one euro, two, five pound, ten pound, as much as you can, and in one year, two years when it is enough for you to go to ḥajj. First go to ḥajj. But who has money and he want to go ‘umrah and he can go to ḥajj - this we cannot say anything for him. Ok he can go ‘umrah. After he can go to ḥajj.
But for people not going for ḥajj and especially for Muslim in Europe or America, it is easy for them anytime they can go, any years they can go to ḥajj. Not like our country. In our country we know people nine years still waiting for lottery. Not coming for them. For these people obligatory to make obligatory, very important. Obligatory it is better than 100.000 Nāfilah, you do. If you do 1000 times ‘umrah and not doing ḥajj, it is not [equal to] one ḥajj even. And when you go to ḥajj also after ḥajj every time now there's ḥajj and ‘umrah. Same time they can do. For this we are saying who are, they didn't go to ḥajj before, better for them, make ḥajj first. But as we said, if they have enough money to go ‘umrah and ḥajj, they can. Somebody saying it is ḥarām to make ‘umrah, but not ḥarām. Better if they don't have money to collect money. But if they know they don't have, it is not obligatory for people who are not, to get money. Until your money to complete for ḥajj, you are not responsible. But if you have money and you didn't go you have responsibility. But for ladies also Allāh make for them to be with husband or relative so for them easier. But for men, it is not like this, he must go.
Allāh, in shā’a Llāh, make it easy for everybody. It is nice worshipping, nice to be in front of Ka‘bah and this. ‘Arafāt, the day when Allāh (awj) looking for people it is really good thing to be there. It is really important thing. Don't make seeing it as nothing. No. It is very important, because once in life people they are, many people, even every Muslim, somebody saying: "we are going when we are old. We are young still." But no, it is better to be in, when you are strong, not to be weak. Allāh give everybody this nice visit for ḥajj, in shā’a Llāh.

170.LIKE A SMOOTH ROCK Sunday, September 18, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
When you talk to people, talk in a nice way. Don't be harsh. And when in an argument, avoid arguing. Āyāt karīmah is ordering to respect the family, obey your mother and father. Listen to them, do what they ask. Some people are not born Muslim and their parents are not Muslim, even then treat them well. Treat them well but don't do it if they order you to do something bad. Don't do it but don't argue with them. Let them talk and speak, but don't do what they say. They won't force you to do, therefore, always act nicely so that there is no hatred.
Be steadfast in your faith in Islām. Be steadfast, but don't let people be hurt when they approach you. Be soft. Don't be all sharp. Be firm. There are round rocks, you can't move them. It doesn't cut you but if you hit it, it remains firm and doesn't move. And there are sharp rocks, if you hit one, it will cut open your legs and arms. Then it is not nice. Be firm without harming others. Maybe they will lean toward you later and follow you. Don't scare them away by fighting. People like getting into fights immediately. If you say something, they become like fire. You say one thing, they say ten. No. Especially when it is a relative, let him talk. They say anyone with a mouth can talk. You can't hold them and tie their mouth. You must be patient. Patience brings you reward. But don't follow what they say. Remain firm.
Everything has a limit, everything has its method. The way of ṭarīqah and Islām is to be tolerant and lead people to love Islām and to love ṭarīqah. If you are patient for 100 years and not patient for a day and say something, they will say this is so and so. But otherwise, in shā’a Llāh, it can be a means for them to reach guidance. Islām it is ordering us to be good with people, polite with people, to be soft with people, not to fight them, or quarrelling them. You must be patient, for people discussing with you. Don't be angry quickly with them because Allāh (awj) ordering ourself to be calm, to be patient especially with parents. Parents even some of them, time of Prophet (saws) they are not Muslim, even for them also you must be good with them, you must help them, you must obey them. You must be...make them happy with you. Everything is allowed for you. If they are asking you to change your religion, don't obey them, said. But when you say, "no" - there is many kind to say no, maybe without saying no, they know you are not
accepting. Sometime when you say "no" - if you beat them it is better. Sometime like very hard you say.
So you must be soft but not accept what they are offering. Say "ok I am everything I am with you, but this sorry." You make it like polite way to explain for them. Because there's -you must be real, like in your belief, hard, but not sharp, like rock, hard rock, round no corner. There cannot be anybody move it. If anybody coming to this, maybe not harming any people, but no one can harm this also. But there's rocks they're very sharp. If you come near it will cut you or break your feet. This is what we don't want for people to do. Only be hard in your religion in your belief but don't harm people, because maybe these people later they will become also like you. So if you from the beginning make them... harm them, and make them to be afraid from you, they will run away and not coming at all. But we must be soft and stable in your place like rock.
Not harming any people, must be good with everybody. To teach them the nice way for our life, that Allāh give us, and this religion and this belief. It is belief for human being. It is coming Islām meaning salām, from peace. But the people now today they are saying Islām, every badness they imagine, who are non-Muslim. But normally meaning it is peace and to be good with everybody, not only with human beings with everything in this earth. Not waste anything. But now everything coming to making wasting everything. This culture from nonbelievers, first concrete after plastic. This is what they are bringing, this is not from our... It is the worst enemy for whole life in this world. We are looking for every small thing - nothing small we are not giving value. Each thing you must give value. Must be careful. But, people they are not practicing, order of Allāh, saying of Prophet (saws). He said "don't waste anything, even you are near river you must take very little thing to make your ablution, wuḍū’. Don't throw anything in river, if clean river. He said, Allāh cursed who is making dirt near river, or in river. Allāh and whole angel and whole creature, cursing these people."
It is real belief of life for. It is life, this belief, religion. Islām religion it is real life, not plastic life. Allāh makes people to understand this, especially who are claiming they are Muslim. Āmin.

171.ARḤAMU R-RĀḤIMĪN Monday, September 19, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allāh (awj) tells us to to keep our good deeds, don't waste them. Why do we say this? Because the ḥajj season is over. The sins of people, who go to ḥajj are forgiven, all their sins. They are sinless. Shayṭān doesn't want people to be sinless. People immediately start fighting, arguing with each other, even during ḥajj. Shayṭān is pleased that he started committing sins again. It's good, he doesn't want them to be sinless. The more he sins, the happier, more pleased shayṭān is. But Allāh (awj) is Arḥamu r-Rāḥimīn, (the Most Merciful of the Merciful) forgiving. If you commit a sin, you can repent again. "You won't get tired of sinning, I (jj) won't get tired of forgiving you". Repent, there is repentance.
Allāh (awj) forgives, people don't forgive. Some are vengeful, whatever you do, they don't forgive. But Allāh (awj) isn't like that. The door of repentance is open. Ask forgiveness from Allāh, repent to Allāh. Because you repent, Allāh opens the doors of heavens. He (jj) gives blessing from the earth. There is drought here since one year because people forgot Allāh. Repent to Allāh so that "I send you blessing and mercy from the sky, from the earth." You'll benefit both physically and spiritually. If you don't ask forgiveness from Allāh, it is more difficult spiritually. The burden of those sins aren't light. People think "I only committed a sin." No, people are crushed under that sin. That's why Allāh gave many opportunities so that people get rid of this burden. They repent and they get lighter.
Every servant has sins. Like we said even before coming back from ḥajj people commit sins. But Allāh says "don't lose hope from Me". Only people, who don't believe in Allāh, are hopeless from Allāh. Allāh is forgiving. Don't ever think it is difficult. Repent. Allāh forgives, lifts our burdens. We are, everybody doing good thing, he must try to keep what he's done from good deeds, from good things. It is good to keep good thing, to ask for forgiveness from bad thing. Because these days, we're saying this, now pilgrimage, ḥajjī they finish their duty of ḥajj and they are beginning to come back to their home. And Allāh (awj) He said, "who are coming to pilgrimage, ḥajj, I forgive him from every sin he's done and he is like a new born baby, no sin for him."
This is very good thing, very nice thing. But shayṭān is not happy with this, he quickly making these people to make mistake, to make sin, to be happy - when the people, human being, doing bad thing, shayṭān is happy.
But he is happy Allāh (awj) also opening for people door of forgiveness, He is most Merciful. He said "you are not tired from doing sin, I am not tired to forgive you." If you ask forgiveness from Allāh, His door is open whole time, not closed at all. "You do and I forgive you. I am happy to people who are asking forgiveness from Me," Allāh (awj) is saying. But He is not happy with people who are not asking forgiveness. This is their fault, because Allāh He will not run after them to forgive them. They must say, ask forgiveness from Allāh to forgive them. And it is He said, making many occasion, everyday even, there are occasion to forgive their sin. Even when somebody doing wrong thing and angels - there's two angels one right and one left - right one writing good, good deeds, other writing sins. And when somebody doing sin, he's not writing this one, but right one he is quickly writing. And Allāh give for every good deed 10 times rewarding, until 700 times rewarding. But when they're doing sin not writing, maybe he [left side angel] is asking - "may I write?" Because the other one [right side angel] is higher, he says "No wait, maybe he will regret and he will be you no need to write." Asking until eight hours. Until eight hours not asking forgiveness, says "Ok write. Write only one, not double or 10 times for sin." And after even this if sometimes he ask forgiveness, also Allāh forgive him.
For this we are happy with our Lord. We must be happy with our Lord. He is only looking for us to be in happiness because happiness with no sin. When you are doing sin and not ask for forgiveness, coming heaviness on you. You thought it is nothing, but it is heavy like mountain this. When you ask forgiveness and Allāh forgives you, it's nothing, this heaviness going out from your body. You'll be more light more happy. Sin, making darkness, darkness, darkness and making you to be in not good, not happy in this life. Other life of course not happy also, because you see reality and you will regret -why I am, I didn't believe? Even it is not heavy to say astaghfiru Llāh, I'm asking forgiveness. Only by tongue, whole day you are speaking you're not stopping from speaking. To say two words becomes heavy for these people. shayṭān making for people to say very light things, too heavy for them. But in last day next life they will regret. So, in shā’a Llāh, we are asking people to ask forgiveness from Allāh. He is the Creator and no nothing comparing Him to how He is Merciful. He is more Merciful then us. Every time He give us, He is generous from every kind of ni‘mah reward from, rizq. Every reward, He is everything giving us. We must be, appreciate this, and thank Him. Allāh make us from these people who are appreciate what we have, in shā’a Llāh.

172.THE BIGGEST FAVOUR Tuesday, September 20, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
What is the biggest favour? Is it eating and drinking, money and wealth? What is the greatest favour? None of these has any value. The biggest favour is belief. Who has belief, nothing can affect him. Being Muslim is a favour but everyone who makes shahādah is Muslim. Belief is to believe in everything regarding Allāh; it is to truly trust in Allāh. When someone trusts in Allāh, when he is hungry or believes in Allāh at certain situation and starts panicking when in real trouble, that is not real belief. That is an ordinary Muslim. Those who are favoured by belief from Allāh, nothing can affect them at all. That belief is the biggest favour - favour, biggest favour is that.
We believe in Allāh. Allāh is with us. Allāh does whatever He wants. We can't interfere with Him. As Mawlānā said, there was one majdhūb, he would say "How nice! How nice!" for everything around. That is, as we said, belief in everything regarding the existence of Allāh, that Allāh does what He wants. We came to this life not by our will, but Allāh created us. Allāh put us here. As Allāh does what He wills, He gives when He wants and takes when He wants. He makes us live and die when He wants. Who has belief is happy. He is in paradise both in dunyā and ākhirah.
There is also the opposite of it - the one who has no belief, may Allāh protect us from that state. The worst thing is to have no belief, to be Muslim and to not have complete belief, or to be a non-Muslim. Pity him because he thinks he came to this world by himself, he can leave this world when he wants, and that his life is in his hands. Whereas, his soul is in the hands of Allāh. It is a trust from Allāh. You can't take your soul by yourself. Why are we saying this? We heard about an incident yesterday. There was one old man. We used to see him sitting when we passed by. It's been months since we saw him. His relative came yesterday and told us he passed away. How? His wife had passed away. So because of this, a 93-year old man took poison and committed suicide. Where does that come from? From the lack of belief. Because if he believed in Allāh - how long would he live anyway? This shows the level of unbelief that a man cannot think that what he does is a mistake. If he lived for a few days longer, it wouldn't be that long to live.
How can you kill yourself? A person without belief can do it because he doesn't believe in ākhirah, doesn't believe in Allāh. If he says that by tongue - I don't know if they say it or not - even if they do, he has punishment to carry. Because these people, just as it is forbidden to kill other people, so it is forbidden to kill yourself. You cannot commit suicide. It is a big sin. But if he had belief, he wouldn't do it. This shows how low unbelief makes people fall.
Our biggest favour, belief must be strengthened. We must remember Allāh every moment. We must think about everything being from Allāh. We shouldn't be upset about matters of this world. They belong to Allāh. He uses them as He likes. We cannot interfere. There are several types of awliyā’. One kind prays for things to happen. One kind doesn't interfere and says: let it be as Allāh wants. They don't even pray for sick ones. There are such awliyā’ who don't interfere in anything. Their belief is strong. Other awliyā’ are strong too. They are tolerant ones. These don't even tolerate. They don't interfere with unbeliever people or in the work of Allāh. Therefore, belief is the biggest favour.
Let us strengthen our belief. May remembrance of Allāh always be in our hearts. We should remember that everything we do, Allāh sees. Allāh is with us and He will ask. Nothing is without reason in this world.
We are saying about the biggest favour, the biggest ni‘mah. What gift for us, for human being. What it is? We're asking. It is our life? It is money? It is beauty? It is power? Is it high position? Is it this what the biggest gift for us from Allāh? No, all this not because everything it is temporary. The biggest gift from Allāh is strong belief. For Creator, the Lord Allāh (awj) - to be real believer. There is difference between believer and between Muslim. Islām also big gift, big favour for us, but it is bigger than this, stronger who, believer. Because Muslim by saying, ashhadu an lā ilāha illā Llāh wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadun ‘abduhu wa rasuluh you are Muslim. You are saying this by your tongue, it is acceptable. But Allāh (awj) saying, you must be, to be believer it must be in your heart, not only in your tongue.
And when it is in your heart you are the most lucky one. You are lucky because nothing affect you. Nothing at all affect you. What happens in this world - if whole world blowing up, you are not affected. Not afraid, not sorry for anything because you have a strong belief. You are believing in Lord Allāh, because He create us. We are not coming in this world by ourselves. So this from Allāh. He create us, He sent us in this world and He is knowing what He is doing. We are surrendered for Him - everything He is doing it is good, no objections. When you don't object you are happy, you are in peace. But this, to have this strong belief, it is very difficult and very few people they are doing this. And opposite for this to be not believer, it is the worst thing in this life, for any creature in this world. Because they thought they are coming by themselves to this world and
trying to do everything struggling and they are not happy, they're complaining, they're fighting, arguing. Everything they are doing just they thought it is good for them but they forget the most important thing, the belief for God. And they can do anything wrong. And their life they thought it is for themselves only, they can do for their life as they like. No, they cannot do this. If you are in this world, Allāh sent you here. You cannot take your life, to finish your life by yourself. This is what, yesterday I hear from one thing happened and I was very upset. But I saw it is from unlucky person, he didn't have belief. When we was all the time going around, there was one old man, sitting in his house. Every time, going and coming we see him that he is sitting peacefully.
Yesterday one coming, he's his relative. I ask him, since maybe 6,7 months we didn't see, what hap

are the lowest. But every time you are making yourself better... What meaning better? To be more good behave, not to lying, not to be outside different, inside different.
You must be good inside before outside. It is order for common people. For ṭarīqah people who are more believer than others, it is more important. Very important thing because you are wearing clothes of Islām, sunnah of Prophet (saw), you must be very careful. If you have these clothes and everything, when somebody seeing you, they say this is... They cannot say this is not Muslim. Only they can say this is Muslim. So you must give this value for this, what you have. If you don't give value, to not wear - this is better. Because you are cheating people. And they are people cheated by your Islāmic sunnah Prophet (saw) clothes. And they are... For this, Awliyā’u Llāh, they were saying better who are wearing this called zunnār for nonMuslim people. Before old time they were wearing this. Specially priest some rope they are tying, they call it zunnār. This is saying for non-Muslim. They are better than who are wearing sunnah and they are doing bad things.
Because people who are wearing zunnār, they know this - know they are careful from them. Everything they said they are not accepting. But when you are wearing sunnah of Prophet (saw), sunnah wearing, you look like mashāyikh, look like ahlu l-ṭarīq, ṣūfī with turban, jubbah, beard. Everything you have, you make like trap for people. And you are doing every bad thing for these people. It is worst and not acceptable at all. It looks like who are praying without wuḍū’, ablution. Maybe you pray 100 raka‘āt a day, 1,000 raka‘āt, 100,000 raka‘āt also - not accepted. Because you don't have any... First most important thing ablution. So it is like this. What you are doing, it is not acceptable for you. And you will be asked for this. And who are your Shaykh, he will not look for your face because you're doing bad thing for people who are surrender themself for you, for Allāh, for everything. And they are by their pure heart following. So when you do this, it is big punishment for you. Allāh...
It is sometimes coming people like this. Every time we try to warn people from these people and warn ourself also to not be following our ego. We must be controlling our ego. For very few benefit of dunyā don't waste your good deeds. Everything you look like very good. Even sometimes you are 10 years in ṭarīqah, 20 years some people, some
people, they are saying 40 years. And also shayṭān can cheat them. And we are telling our people everywhere, like Mawlānā Shaykh saying, beware of shayṭān. Shayṭān he is he can be everywhere, in every shape. So don't be cheated by shayṭān if he is wearing turban, jubbah and beard. He can be everywhere. Be careful. If you see you are not happy with what he is doing, you are suspected (suspicious), you have some people to ask. Ask about these people if they harm you [in order] to not harm other people also. Allāh save us from our ego and shayṭān in shā’a Llāh.

167.THEN HE CURES ME (26:80) Thursday, September 15, 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‘ūdhu biLlāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Wa-idhā mariḍtu fahuwa yashfīn" (26:80).
Illness is a normal thing for everyone. It is Allāh's will. When you get sick, you need to be treated. Or they say: al-ḥimyah ra’su d-dawā’ wa l-ma‘idah baytu d-dā’ Not to over eat or to watch what you eat - that is the beginning of healing. The stomach is the home of illness. You have to watch out what you eat and drink. It should be both clean and ḥalāl then it will be healing. Illnesses have increased in the last years because they mixed things into what we eat and drink, into what we plant, into everything. That's why food had gotten more abundant. There used to be less food. People weren't able to eat everything. There weren't so much illness. Now illness has increased. This has become a trade.
Allāh tells people to watch out what they eat. "Wa kulū mimmā razaqakumu Llāhu ḥalālan ṭayyiban" (5:88). Watch out what you eat. If you do, there won't be so much illness. But of course people can't control their ego. They eat. There is a way to eat. Before you sit down to eat you'll say bismiLlāh and wash your hands. Now I don't see that tradition anywhere. There is no habit of washing hands before eating. Even worse, they invented wet wipes, they put scent in it. You wipe your hands than you eat. After you eat, you wipe your hands with it. It is exactly a non-Muslim habit. They don't use water. Washing with water before and after eating is a sunnah. You make du‘ā then you sit down for eating. If you don't know du‘ā, at least say BismiLlāh. Read Fātiḥah. Say: "May this food be healing, health and light". It isn't only to fill the stomach, we eat to get benefit for our souls. Before starting to eat, it is sunnah to put your finger in salt, and start with salt. After finishing and making du‘ā again finish it with salt. It is a cure for 70 illnesses, outward and inward illnesses. After that, wash your hands, thank Allāh. The manner of eating is very important. It isn't only filling your stomach, you eat so it won't be a burden on you, it will be light, it will give power for our belief, for worshipping. You have to eat with that thought. If you eat like this, you remember Allāh (jj) then your eating will be counted as worship. There will be less illness then. When you get sick, if you have to go to a doctor, you should say " the cure is from Allāh (jj). When you are ill, don't put
yourself at risk says Allāh (awj), our Prophet (saw). Look what it is, search for its cure. But that is a means. Healing isn't from people, healing is certainly from Allāh (jj). When you are taking medication the same - "May it cure me, may Allāh (jj) put cure in it."Don't ever think - "This medicine cured me." If you do, there will be no benefit and you'll fall into sin. We need to remember Allāh (jj) in every case. Everything is in Allāh's (jj) hand.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla creates a means. With that means, there is a cure, or the illness passes by. When you are ill, you need to search for a good doctor, who believes in Allāh (jj). When he is a non-believer, it is useless because he has to look with BismiLlāh. If an operation is needed, it needs to be done with BismiLlāh so it will be healing. Today's people have anxiety. Sometimes even without being ill they think they are ill. Without any need the doctors make an analysis Allāh (jj) bless the government, they have made it free. They make analysis without any need. There is no need. Don't go there. Don't go into it, when there is no need. Because the body changes sometimes, it can restore itself later. That's why don't go to check up every month, don't overthink it. May Allāh (jj) not put us in need.
We are speaking about illness. The ayat "wa-idhā mariḍtu fahuwa yashfīn" (26:80). This is: if I am becoming ill, sick, Allāh cures me. It is these days many illness. Everywhere people they are complaining from illness, from every kind of illness. Before Prophet (saws) he was saying "al-ḥimyah ra’su d-dawā’ wa l-ma‘idah baytu d-dā’." Meaning - to be careful for what you eat, to not eat everything, it is the head of cureness, top of cureness. And stomach it is home of illness. This meaning we must look for what we are eating, what you are drinking, you must be careful for this because everything coming from eating. And to beginning you must look for good food, clean food. But people these days they are mixing everything.
Before eating, until food is coming to you, this is also they're making many thing to bring this food for you so it is not so good. But more important than from this, to look for yourself what you are eating, how you are eating. It is important. Even when we are beginning for eating, you must wash your hand. This is sunnah, but these days everywhere I go, even in Ṭarīqah and Muslim, nobody looking for this. To wash the hand, maybe they have this very bad [thing] - they put towel with, wet towel. This is fashion now everywhere, in Muslim countries also. They are cleaning their hands, but it is not good, because water giving life. So first you must wash your hands, then after when you are coming to table to eat, you must beginning with du‘ā’ praying. If you don't know you must say Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, Fātiḥah. After you must put finger in salt and take little bit salt. Before eating and after eating, this also Prophet (saws) saying it is cureness for 70 illness, spiritual and material illness. After when you finish you must also pray, praying du‘ā’ and make Fātiḥah and wash your hands again. This is important for us not only to fill our stomach, also this food to be help for our worshipping, not only to enjoy. We are intention, we are eating this to make, to be light
also for us. So this giving your body cureness and pureness, and health. And after you wash your hand, it is important if you have any illness maybe small illness. People these days they are making from small thing big thing, if not serious, necessary no need to run for hospital or for doctor. But if there is necessary it is also you must go. Don't let yourself to be in danger. For Prophet (saws) he said "wa lā tulqū bi-aydīkum ilá t-tahlukah" (2:195) Don't put yourself in danger - you go to doctor but when you are going to doctor, you must be saying cureness from Allāh, he [doctor] is only wasīlah, means. He cannot cure us, but shifā’ from Allāh, cureness from Allāh. And he is only helping us. And when he give medicine also, don't say "this medicine cure me." No say also, "by blessing from Allāh, in shā’a Llāh this medicine help and Allāh put cureness in this. Don't forget this." Because if you're saying "this medicine cured me", it is not good behaviour. You're forgetting Allāh (awj) because everything in His hand. If He put cureness in this medicine, even if you take one, enough for curing. But if He didn't put, maybe if you take one ton, no benefit. Don't forget this everything from Allāh and you must think like this. And when you're thinking like this it is also Allāh adds as you are worshipping Him, not forgetting Him. You are remembering every time Allāh and He is happy with you and He give you rewarding for your illness, and help you to cure yourself.
And advice also to find believer doctors. Don't go to non-believer doctors because they are not saying the name of Allāh, not remembering Allāh, no benefit from these people. Allāh He give for every illness, cureness also. So, in shā’a Llāh Allāh, make illness away from us, to not to need to be looking for this. And Allāh give shifā’ cure for ill people in shā’a Llāh.

168.THE WAY OF TRUTH Thursday, September 15, 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says that If you repent for your sins before Islām and accept Islām, Allāh (jj) forgives you. Allāh (jj) is forgiving. His door of forgiveness is open for everyone. The door of repentance is open. It will be closed when the Day of Judgement is near. People, who repent before that their repentance is accepted. When they accept Islām, all their sins are forgiven. If this is the case for non-believers, it is more valid for Muslims, who made mistakes. Because they are on the way of Allāh (jj) they witness the oneness of Allāh (jj). So, always repent. "Ask forgiveness from Me (jj)" says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, "so that I forgive you." Don't be stubborn. Don't insist on doing a bad deed, so that you'll be forgiven, so that Allāh (jj) forgives you and shows mercy.
Whatever sins you have, no need to tell people. Because Allāh (jj) is as-Sattār, He covers. If you hide your sin and do not tell anyone, Allāh (awj) says: "I won't disgrace him, I forgive him." Without anyone hearing, this person won't be disgraced on the Day of Judgement. Of course now, because it is the end of time, people commit a lot of sins, make many mistakes. The door of repentance is open so that they won't be judged in the hereafter because of those sins. Allāh (jj) forgives. They shouldn't miss that chance. They shouldn't be stubborn.
Now Muslims treat other Muslims badly, they side with the non-believers, with the shayṭān. Why? Because they are stubborn. They say: "They did this to me, they are my enemies." It can't be. "A Muslim can't be angry with another Muslim for more than three days." says our Prophet (saw). There can't be enmity between Muslims. They are making mistakes. Knowing your mistakes is a virtue. Don't insist on your mistakes. If you do, you'll be like shayṭān. Shayṭān knows its mistake, it deliberately persists. Stubbornness is the biggest attribute of shayṭān. Shayṭān is stubborn. A Muslim is constant. He remains constant in truth. Don't make trade with the truth. Truth is ordered by Allāh (jj). Truth is clear, falsehood is clear. If you are in shayṭān's hand, in the unbelievers' hand, you aren't with the truth, you are insisting on falsehood, you are stubborn, you are with shayṭān.
People do this to satisfy their bad ego. Everybody has it. Some people have bigger. They
harm people. Some harm their own people. Some harm Islām. They will be accountable for giving harm. If they repent Allāh (jj) forgives. But if they insist they'll get more punishment. As a leader of people the sins of his followers, ten people, a hundred people, are written for him because they trusted and followed him. Some people know their sin, some don't. This not only happens in politics, it happens at all social levels. People even speak in our name: "He said like this, this is the order. It is done like this, this is normal". Normal for us is the truth. It is Allāh's (jj) orders, it is what the Prophet (saw) showed. We don't accept, can't accept, anything other than that. Whoever it is. Allāh's order is one thing, friendship is something else. If you are a friend, you have to obey Allah's orders. Our friends are Allāh (jj) and the Prophet (saw). Our friend's friend is a friend, our friend's enemy is our enemy. This should be known.
May Allāh (jj) keep us on the right way.
Be careful. Someone, who tells people in Allah's way, things that aren't Allāh's (jj) orders will get more punishment. We don't accept these things. We don't accept people, who aren't in the way of truth. We are saying this in the presence of Allāh and people so that it won't be a burden on the Judgement Day. Because we don't have any intention to carry burdens for anyone's sake. May Allāh (jj) correct all of us, not leave us to our egos, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān for all human being, especially for non-believers, "in yantahū yughfar lahum mā qad salaf" (8:38) If you are give up from to be enemy and to do, to not do bad thing, and you believe in Allāh, Allāh He forgive you for what you done before. Everything before becoming believer accepting Allāh Azza wa Jalla, Prophet (saw), everything it is forgiven for you. What you done, all Allāh forgive you. You cannot find more mercy from [than] Islām religion.
Now everything against Islām. And they are claiming they are merciful. You cannot be. Because anything you do, you must... They are not accepting forgiveness, not forgiving. And they are trying to punish. But Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla, He said "I am accepting and forgiving who are accepting Islām." Prophet (saw) saying "al-Islām yajubbu mā qablah Islām" Everything before Islām you done it is, if you become Muslim, no questioning for this. Because in Qiyāmah, Day of Judgment, everything will be asked. From childhood not asking. From teenager, when become teenager, you will be asked until your death - if you prayed, if you fast, if you make ḥajj, or you do all good, you do bad. For everything you will be asked. But if you are non-Muslim and become Muslim, you will be just from beginning, if even you are 90 years old, nothing you asked. Even if after one day you die, also you will be safe. Nothing asked for what you done before. There was in time of Prophet (saw) one, when he was going to conquer Khaybar there was one shepherd and he was shepherd taking flock to feed them and he hear about Prophet and come to Prophet (saw). He said "I want to become Muslim." He said "Ok". But he said "I am honest one. I must give these sheep for the owner. And after I come and become Muslim." And he come, give all this for owner and he was fighting and he become martyr. Even he
didn't pray one time. And Prophet (saw) he said this is shahīd and he is in highest station.
This is what Islām - it giving honor for people who are accepting the Lord, the Creator. It is very important and it is bless from Allāh. But nowadays it is last days of dunyā world so now become every nation against Islām. Whole world now two camps. All attacking Islām. But Islām still saying: if you give up and come to Islām, even this Allāh He accept you. He not ask you what you done before.
But shayṭān not accepting this. He want to show Islām as bad thing. But bad thing who following shayṭān. Shayṭān he not forgave at all. He is stubborn. And it is attribute of shayṭān to be stubborn. It is for who are non-believer, not accepting truth, also they have this attribute. Attacking Islām, attacking Prophet (saw), it will be... Because if come to Islām, all this Allāh forgive. But if not accepting truth, they will be asked and they will be regret. Don't be with these people. You must be thinking to be with good people. Now many people following their ego. Even from Muslim, they are following by their ego to harm Islām and Muslim, even their country, using the shayṭān. It is for every kind of people. Even for ṭarīqah also, can be also. They are using, saying Shaykh says like this and then, he said like that - for their benefit. So for this, we are not accepting anything against order of Allāh. Saying of Prophet (saw): our way, it is the way of truth. We are not accepting not-good thing, lying or thing not in Islām, not in Qur’ān or Prophet (saw), saying of Allāh and Prophet (saw). We are not accepting this. Even for friend or other people.
They are after Mawlānā, many people, they are going around and they are wearing thing like Mawlānā - big turban with beard and jubbah. And they are even not becoming. To be seen more important they are saying Grandshaykh Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh. "We are following Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh Dāghistāni, Grandshaykh." Even for some of them, they are seeing themselves higher than Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh. This is truth. But we are not accepting this. Who are following, he must be humble. And when somebody saying like this and he wearing these clothes, he will be punished more than normal people. But we are warning people to be awake from these people, especially who they are making bad behavior. Because when they are saying like this, they are... Because they are ignorant, they are non-polite, they are misbehaved people. They are not knowing what they are saying, what its meaning. It is meaning "Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim he is nothing. We are more higher than him. We are with Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh." You cannot compare this between mashāyikh. To say this, it is very bad. Very bad thing to say this.
So people who are following, they must be very careful. Don't look for man he said "I am 40 years in ṭarīqah." Don't look at all for him. Mawlānā Shaykh Khālid al-Baghdādī in seven month he take khilāfah from Sayyidinā ‘Abdu Llāh Dahlawī. And he take ṭarīqah
to Damascus, Baghdad - Damascus. It's not important 60 years you are in ṭarīqah but you don't have any one gram from adab, from good behaviour. It is pity for you. You must be ashamed to say this. So we are only not ashaming for to say this for people because we must warn these people. Because we are we keep quiet. But these people they are not understanding from good behaviour. Mawlānā sometimes he said you must speak same language for them. What they have good, not good behaved language, you must say same thing for them. So we are... Because today live going around the world, we are saying for all our people: Be careful and don't be ashamed to say for these people "You are liar". Or if you are not, you must ask. Alḥamdu liLlāh these days everything quickly you can ask, you can get answer. If this man true or he is Dajjāl liar, you must ask.
Because we must be, our ṭarīqah is growing, Mawlānā Shaykh grow it. So we must be clean growing, not be rotten between us. Alḥamdu liLlāh all people very good. Very good. But problem with some people coming and they are making people to be suspect, confused. Allāh keep us away from these people and these too, these people away from our way, in shā’a Llāh.

169.UMRAH WITHOUT ḤAJJ? Saturday, September 17, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
We have to beware of things that Allāh (jj) has forbidden. You can't say it is permissible. We can't say permissible for the things that Allāh (jj) has forbidden. Forbidden things are clear. We understand that. It is also wrong to say forbidden to the things that are permissible. That is also a sin. So we need to ask about things that we don't know about sharī‘ah and religion. We can't say "we thought this could be..." If you aren't sure you shouldn't say it. Or you should say "I guess it is like this, but let's ask if it is permissible or forbidden." You need to double check because if you say forbidden to a permissible thing you'll commit a sin. Someone won't do it because it is forbidden, then someone else won't do it, then permissible things will seem as forbidden, which is not ok.
Our brothers came, they are going to ‘umrah. They are asking: "Can we go to ‘umrah before going to ḥajj?" If they have money, ḥajj is a farḍ (obligation). If they have money enough only to make ḥajj, ‘umrah isn't a farḍ. Ḥajj is farḍ. Going to ‘umrah in unnecessary. Because what does it mean it is farḍ on you? If you don't do farḍ, you commit a sin. Because people don't understand that ḥajj is a farḍ, we need to do it. They think if you can do it, do it. If you can't, don't do it. It is one of the five pillars of Islām. If you have money, it is farḍ to do it. It is ok if you don't do ‘umrah. Or you have money and go to ‘umrah now. At ḥajj season, you go to ḥajj. In some countries you can go to ḥajj whenever you want. It is definitely farḍ for you. But in countries, that draw lots, now all Muslim countries are like that because there isn't enough quota. You can go only if your turn comes in five, ten years. If this is the case, it isn't your fault. If Allāh (jj) didn't give you that much life you aren't accountable for that sin. Because you registered, you want to go but it isn't your turn, you can't go otherwise. So that alters the case. Then you can go to ‘umrah if you like.
But it is an important issue is ‘umrah before ḥajj forbidden or not? It is not a sin but like we said if you have money enough only for ḥajj, no for you. If you saved that money and there is no obstacle, first you have to go to ḥajj. If you still have money left you can go to ‘umrah whenever and as much as you want. This is an important matter because people don't place importance on ḥajj. This is the problem. We saw people couldn't go to ḥajj. Mawlānā used to say; "If you start saving money today, put a money box. Say I'm doing
a separate money box for ḥajj. Put five lira, ten lira as much as you can. How many years it will take to make that money you can go to ḥajj with Allāh's permission." Many people went to ḥajj with this good advice of Mawlānā. But with the money you saved, if you say "I couldn't go to ḥajj, I can go to ‘umrah" you will run out of money again, you can't go to ḥajj.
That's why people, who don't have chance to go to ḥajj they should save that money for ḥajj. If you can't go the first year, you'll go the second year. If not whenever you have money, you'll do that farḍ. You'll get that reward.
Doing the farḍ of ḥajj even if you do a hundred thousand nāfilah it won't take the place of one farḍ. Farḍ is important. So you need to be careful about religious matters. You can't decide yourself. It isn't right to listen to what people say. First we try to complete the farḍ, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh (jj) destine it for everyone in shā’a Llāh.
In our religion, Islām religion it is very sensitive and very top of the best system Allāh He is creator, He create this, the last religion Islām. He said "today I complete your religion." The end, no more Prophet, so it must be perfect. And it is perfect. And everything clear there. What is good what is not good, what is sin, what is ḥalāl, ḥarām. Ḥalāl ne demek? What is forbidden and what is not forbidden it is clearly open. So to say for forbidden thing by the Lord Allāh (awj) it is not forbidden it is sin, you cannot say this. For forbidden bad thing it is good and it is allowed to do it - we cannot say this. At least everybody they know this, but there is another thing also: to say for thing that Allāh allowed to do it and it is, you can do it, it is not allowed to do, and it is sin to do. It is also sin for who are saying this, wrong thing this! For allowed, Allāh allowed to do this and He is not forbidden, you cannot say it is forbidden. It is same wrong as you are doing wrong because you are mixing what Allāh He put this system, so you are saying opposite. It is also big wrong and sin to say this.
Everything you must be follow and if sometimes maybe you see something you think it is good, you give your opinion - "this is my opinion and I think it is good." But you must say - "maybe I am wrong, we must look also for this." When you say this ok, but "O not my opinion it is ok, you can do it" you say, it is not allowed to - wrong this is. Every time you must... because human being he has many times saying wrong thing, thinking wrong thing. So we mustn't put ourself in risk. You must say it is "we don't know, we must look it look like right, look like it is wrong." Don't make it absolute.
And, today Shaykh Abdul Aḥad, Abdul Wāḥid, he said, asking about ‘umrah... How it is allowed to go for people who are not going for ḥajj? It is allowed to go to ‘umrah without ḥajj? And it is he said, this every good question, because many people they're doing by their... just without asking, without... they going ‘umrah, they're going without asking. And even many times they're asking Mawlānā, and Mawlānā he was not giving
permission, they are going without permission also. He asked this very good...and it is obligatory to go to ḥajj, not to ‘umrah. If somebody he hasn't been in ḥajj, once in the life he must be going to ḥajj, pilgrimage. After he can every time he can anytime he can go if he like. But who are has money and his health everything good, first he must go to ḥajj. But if he not have money enough - Mawlānā many times he was saying for people, "you must put everyday one place, one corner, box - this only for ḥajj. Put one euro, two, five pound, ten pound, as much as you can, and in one year, two years when it is enough for you to go to ḥajj. First go to ḥajj. But who has money and he want to go ‘umrah and he can go to ḥajj - this we cannot say anything for him. Ok he can go ‘umrah. After he can go to ḥajj.
But for people not going for ḥajj and especially for Muslim in Europe or America, it is easy for them anytime they can go, any years they can go to ḥajj. Not like our country. In our country we know people nine years still waiting for lottery. Not coming for them. For these people obligatory to make obligatory, very important. Obligatory it is better than 100.000 Nāfilah, you do. If you do 1000 times ‘umrah and not doing ḥajj, it is not [equal to] one ḥajj even. And when you go to ḥajj also after ḥajj every time now there's ḥajj and ‘umrah. Same time they can do. For this we are saying who are, they didn't go to ḥajj before, better for them, make ḥajj first. But as we said, if they have enough money to go ‘umrah and ḥajj, they can. Somebody saying it is ḥarām to make ‘umrah, but not ḥarām. Better if they don't have money to collect money. But if they know they don't have, it is not obligatory for people who are not, to get money. Until your money to complete for ḥajj, you are not responsible. But if you have money and you didn't go you have responsibility. But for ladies also Allāh make for them to be with husband or relative so for them easier. But for men, it is not like this, he must go.
Allāh, in shā’a Llāh, make it easy for everybody. It is nice worshipping, nice to be in front of Ka‘bah and this. ‘Arafāt, the day when Allāh (awj) looking for people it is really good thing to be there. It is really important thing. Don't make seeing it as nothing. No. It is very important, because once in life people they are, many people, even every Muslim, somebody saying: "we are going when we are old. We are young still." But no, it is better to be in, when you are strong, not to be weak. Allāh give everybody this nice visit for ḥajj, in shā’a Llāh.

170.LIKE A SMOOTH ROCK Sunday, September 18, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
When you talk to people, talk in a nice way. Don't be harsh. And when in an argument, avoid arguing. Āyāt karīmah is ordering to respect the family, obey your mother and father. Listen to them, do what they ask. Some people are not born Muslim and their parents are not Muslim, even then treat them well. Treat them well but don't do it if they order you to do something bad. Don't do it but don't argue with them. Let them talk and speak, but don't do what they say. They won't force you to do, therefore, always act nicely so that there is no hatred.
Be steadfast in your faith in Islām. Be steadfast, but don't let people be hurt when they approach you. Be soft. Don't be all sharp. Be firm. There are round rocks, you can't move them. It doesn't cut you but if you hit it, it remains firm and doesn't move. And there are sharp rocks, if you hit one, it will cut open your legs and arms. Then it is not nice. Be firm without harming others. Maybe they will lean toward you later and follow you. Don't scare them away by fighting. People like getting into fights immediately. If you say something, they become like fire. You say one thing, they say ten. No. Especially when it is a relative, let him talk. They say anyone with a mouth can talk. You can't hold them and tie their mouth. You must be patient. Patience brings you reward. But don't follow what they say. Remain firm.
Everything has a limit, everything has its method. The way of ṭarīqah and Islām is to be tolerant and lead people to love Islām and to love ṭarīqah. If you are patient for 100 years and not patient for a day and say something, they will say this is so and so. But otherwise, in shā’a Llāh, it can be a means for them to reach guidance. Islām it is ordering us to be good with people, polite with people, to be soft with people, not to fight them, or quarrelling them. You must be patient, for people discussing with you. Don't be angry quickly with them because Allāh (awj) ordering ourself to be calm, to be patient especially with parents. Parents even some of them, time of Prophet (saws) they are not Muslim, even for them also you must be good with them, you must help them, you must obey them. You must be...make them happy with you. Everything is allowed for you. If they are asking you to change your religion, don't obey them, said. But when you say, "no" - there is many kind to say no, maybe without saying no, they know you are not
accepting. Sometime when you say "no" - if you beat them it is better. Sometime like very hard you say.
So you must be soft but not accept what they are offering. Say "ok I am everything I am with you, but this sorry." You make it like polite way to explain for them. Because there's -you must be real, like in your belief, hard, but not sharp, like rock, hard rock, round no corner. There cannot be anybody move it. If anybody coming to this, maybe not harming any people, but no one can harm this also. But there's rocks they're very sharp. If you come near it will cut you or break your feet. This is what we don't want for people to do. Only be hard in your religion in your belief but don't harm people, because maybe these people later they will become also like you. So if you from the beginning make them... harm them, and make them to be afraid from you, they will run away and not coming at all. But we must be soft and stable in your place like rock.
Not harming any people, must be good with everybody. To teach them the nice way for our life, that Allāh give us, and this religion and this belief. It is belief for human being. It is coming Islām meaning salām, from peace. But the people now today they are saying Islām, every badness they imagine, who are non-Muslim. But normally meaning it is peace and to be good with everybody, not only with human beings with everything in this earth. Not waste anything. But now everything coming to making wasting everything. This culture from nonbelievers, first concrete after plastic. This is what they are bringing, this is not from our... It is the worst enemy for whole life in this world. We are looking for every small thing - nothing small we are not giving value. Each thing you must give value. Must be careful. But, people they are not practicing, order of Allāh, saying of Prophet (saws). He said "don't waste anything, even you are near river you must take very little thing to make your ablution, wuḍū’. Don't throw anything in river, if clean river. He said, Allāh cursed who is making dirt near river, or in river. Allāh and whole angel and whole creature, cursing these people."
It is real belief of life for. It is life, this belief, religion. Islām religion it is real life, not plastic life. Allāh makes people to understand this, especially who are claiming they are Muslim. Āmin.

171.ARḤAMU R-RĀḤIMĪN Monday, September 19, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allāh (awj) tells us to to keep our good deeds, don't waste them. Why do we say this? Because the ḥajj season is over. The sins of people, who go to ḥajj are forgiven, all their sins. They are sinless. Shayṭān doesn't want people to be sinless. People immediately start fighting, arguing with each other, even during ḥajj. Shayṭān is pleased that he started committing sins again. It's good, he doesn't want them to be sinless. The more he sins, the happier, more pleased shayṭān is. But Allāh (awj) is Arḥamu r-Rāḥimīn, (the Most Merciful of the Merciful) forgiving. If you commit a sin, you can repent again. "You won't get tired of sinning, I (jj) won't get tired of forgiving you". Repent, there is repentance.
Allāh (awj) forgives, people don't forgive. Some are vengeful, whatever you do, they don't forgive. But Allāh (awj) isn't like that. The door of repentance is open. Ask forgiveness from Allāh, repent to Allāh. Because you repent, Allāh opens the doors of heavens. He (jj) gives blessing from the earth. There is drought here since one year because people forgot Allāh. Repent to Allāh so that "I send you blessing and mercy from the sky, from the earth." You'll benefit both physically and spiritually. If you don't ask forgiveness from Allāh, it is more difficult spiritually. The burden of those sins aren't light. People think "I only committed a sin." No, people are crushed under that sin. That's why Allāh gave many opportunities so that people get rid of this burden. They repent and they get lighter.
Every servant has sins. Like we said even before coming back from ḥajj people commit sins. But Allāh says "don't lose hope from Me". Only people, who don't believe in Allāh, are hopeless from Allāh. Allāh is forgiving. Don't ever think it is difficult. Repent. Allāh forgives, lifts our burdens. We are, everybody doing good thing, he must try to keep what he's done from good deeds, from good things. It is good to keep good thing, to ask for forgiveness from bad thing. Because these days, we're saying this, now pilgrimage, ḥajjī they finish their duty of ḥajj and they are beginning to come back to their home. And Allāh (awj) He said, "who are coming to pilgrimage, ḥajj, I forgive him from every sin he's done and he is like a new born baby, no sin for him."
This is very good thing, very nice thing. But shayṭān is not happy with this, he quickly making these people to make mistake, to make sin, to be happy - when the people, human being, doing bad thing, shayṭān is happy.
But he is happy Allāh (awj) also opening for people door of forgiveness, He is most Merciful. He said "you are not tired from doing sin, I am not tired to forgive you." If you ask forgiveness from Allāh, His door is open whole time, not closed at all. "You do and I forgive you. I am happy to people who are asking forgiveness from Me," Allāh (awj) is saying. But He is not happy with people who are not asking forgiveness. This is their fault, because Allāh He will not run after them to forgive them. They must say, ask forgiveness from Allāh to forgive them. And it is He said, making many occasion, everyday even, there are occasion to forgive their sin. Even when somebody doing wrong thing and angels - there's two angels one right and one left - right one writing good, good deeds, other writing sins. And when somebody doing sin, he's not writing this one, but right one he is quickly writing. And Allāh give for every good deed 10 times rewarding, until 700 times rewarding. But when they're doing sin not writing, maybe he [left side angel] is asking - "may I write?" Because the other one [right side angel] is higher, he says "No wait, maybe he will regret and he will be you no need to write." Asking until eight hours. Until eight hours not asking forgiveness, says "Ok write. Write only one, not double or 10 times for sin." And after even this if sometimes he ask forgiveness, also Allāh forgive him.
For this we are happy with our Lord. We must be happy with our Lord. He is only looking for us to be in happiness because happiness with no sin. When you are doing sin and not ask for forgiveness, coming heaviness on you. You thought it is nothing, but it is heavy like mountain this. When you ask forgiveness and Allāh forgives you, it's nothing, this heaviness going out from your body. You'll be more light more happy. Sin, making darkness, darkness, darkness and making you to be in not good, not happy in this life. Other life of course not happy also, because you see reality and you will regret -why I am, I didn't believe? Even it is not heavy to say astaghfiru Llāh, I'm asking forgiveness. Only by tongue, whole day you are speaking you're not stopping from speaking. To say two words becomes heavy for these people. shayṭān making for people to say very light things, too heavy for them. But in last day next life they will regret. So, in shā’a Llāh, we are asking people to ask forgiveness from Allāh. He is the Creator and no nothing comparing Him to how He is Merciful. He is more Merciful then us. Every time He give us, He is generous from every kind of ni‘mah reward from, rizq. Every reward, He is everything giving us. We must be, appreciate this, and thank Him. Allāh make us from these people who are appreciate what we have, in shā’a Llāh.

172.THE BIGGEST FAVOUR Tuesday, September 20, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
What is the biggest favour? Is it eating and drinking, money and wealth? What is the greatest favour? None of these has any value. The biggest favour is belief. Who has belief, nothing can affect him. Being Muslim is a favour but everyone who makes shahādah is Muslim. Belief is to believe in everything regarding Allāh; it is to truly trust in Allāh. When someone trusts in Allāh, when he is hungry or believes in Allāh at certain situation and starts panicking when in real trouble, that is not real belief. That is an ordinary Muslim. Those who are favoured by belief from Allāh, nothing can affect them at all. That belief is the biggest favour - favour, biggest favour is that.
We believe in Allāh. Allāh is with us. Allāh does whatever He wants. We can't interfere with Him. As Mawlānā said, there was one majdhūb, he would say "How nice! How nice!" for everything around. That is, as we said, belief in everything regarding the existence of Allāh, that Allāh does what He wants. We came to this life not by our will, but Allāh created us. Allāh put us here. As Allāh does what He wills, He gives when He wants and takes when He wants. He makes us live and die when He wants. Who has belief is happy. He is in paradise both in dunyā and ākhirah.
There is also the opposite of it - the one who has no belief, may Allāh protect us from that state. The worst thing is to have no belief, to be Muslim and to not have complete belief, or to be a non-Muslim. Pity him because he thinks he came to this world by himself, he can leave this world when he wants, and that his life is in his hands. Whereas, his soul is in the hands of Allāh. It is a trust from Allāh. You can't take your soul by yourself. Why are we saying this? We heard about an incident yesterday. There was one old man. We used to see him sitting when we passed by. It's been months since we saw him. His relative came yesterday and told us he passed away. How? His wife had passed away. So because of this, a 93-year old man took poison and committed suicide. Where does that come from? From the lack of belief. Because if he believed in Allāh - how long would he live anyway? This shows the level of unbelief that a man cannot think that what he does is a mistake. If he lived for a few days longer, it wouldn't be that long to live.
How can you kill yourself? A person without belief can do it because he doesn't believe in ākhirah, doesn't believe in Allāh. If he says that by tongue - I don't know if they say it or not - even if they do, he has punishment to carry. Because these people, just as it is forbidden to kill other people, so it is forbidden to kill yourself. You cannot commit suicide. It is a big sin. But if he had belief, he wouldn't do it. This shows how low unbelief makes people fall.
Our biggest favour, belief must be strengthened. We must remember Allāh every moment. We must think about everything being from Allāh. We shouldn't be upset about matters of this world. They belong to Allāh. He uses them as He likes. We cannot interfere. There are several types of awliyā’. One kind prays for things to happen. One kind doesn't interfere and says: let it be as Allāh wants. They don't even pray for sick ones. There are such awliyā’ who don't interfere in anything. Their belief is strong. Other awliyā’ are strong too. They are tolerant ones. These don't even tolerate. They don't interfere with unbeliever people or in the work of Allāh. Therefore, belief is the biggest favour.
Let us strengthen our belief. May remembrance of Allāh always be in our hearts. We should remember that everything we do, Allāh sees. Allāh is with us and He will ask. Nothing is without reason in this world.
We are saying about the biggest favour, the biggest ni‘mah. What gift for us, for human being. What it is? We're asking. It is our life? It is money? It is beauty? It is power? Is it high position? Is it this what the biggest gift for us from Allāh? No, all this not because everything it is temporary. The biggest gift from Allāh is strong belief. For Creator, the Lord Allāh (awj) - to be real believer. There is difference between believer and between Muslim. Islām also big gift, big favour for us, but it is bigger than this, stronger who, believer. Because Muslim by saying, ashhadu an lā ilāha illā Llāh wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadun ‘abduhu wa rasuluh you are Muslim. You are saying this by your tongue, it is acceptable. But Allāh (awj) saying, you must be, to be believer it must be in your heart, not only in your tongue.
And when it is in your heart you are the most lucky one. You are lucky because nothing affect you. Nothing at all affect you. What happens in this world - if whole world blowing up, you are not affected. Not afraid, not sorry for anything because you have a strong belief. You are believing in Lord Allāh, because He create us. We are not coming in this world by ourselves. So this from Allāh. He create us, He sent us in this world and He is knowing what He is doing. We are surrendered for Him - everything He is doing it is good, no objections. When you don't object you are happy, you are in peace. But this, to have this strong belief, it is very difficult and very few people they are doing this. And opposite for this to be not believer, it is the worst thing in this life, for any creature in this world. Because they thought they are coming by themselves to this world and
trying to do everything struggling and they are not happy, they're complaining, they're fighting, arguing. Everything they are doing just they thought it is good for them but they forget the most important thing, the belief for God. And they can do anything wrong. And their life they thought it is for themselves only, they can do for their life as they like. No, they cannot do this. If you are in this world, Allāh sent you here. You cannot take your life, to finish your life by yourself. This is what, yesterday I hear from one thing happened and I was very upset. But I saw it is from unlucky person, he didn't have belief. When we was all the time going around, there was one old man, sitting in his house. Every time, going and coming we see him that he is sitting peacefully.
Yesterday one coming, he's his relative. I ask him, since maybe 6,7 months we didn't see, what hap
