Suhbah 2016: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (21/25)

red, but now those who say they are Muslim cause greater tyranny than the unbeliver.
This is what our Holy Prophet (SAW) is speaking about and this is the time. Because there are narrations he will appear in the month of Muharram. This is not the hadith of our Holy Prophet (SAW) but what the saints6 are saying. He is expected in the month of Muharram. This month of Muharram has passed and we are awaiting for him in the next month of Muharram Inshallah.
The month of Muharram is a holy month since the tenth day is the day of Ashura. It is the day of salvation. It is the day of being delivered relief or salvation. Adam Alayhis Salam’s repentance was accepted on this day. Nuh Alayhis Salam’s ship being saved from the flood, Musa Alayhis Salam’s crossing the sea and escaping from the hands of Pharaoh, Prophet Yunus being saved from the belly of the whale, and Isa Alayhis Salam’s ascending to heaven are all on this day. Today, many things were saved from the enemy. May this Nation’s salvation Inshallah also occur on this day. So it is estimated Mahdi Alayhis Salam comes out on Ashura day.
Inshallah it will be mubarak. That day is a blessed day. Of course that day has its worships. It is of great virtue to fast on the 9th and 10th days of Muharram. It is also very virtuous to fast from the 1st to the 10th. The person who does this is granted the highest spot in the garden of Paradise. Giving charity, buying lots of provisions for home, and making people at home happy on that day gives blessings and that year passes in baraka.
Making ghusl, bathing and doing a full-body ablution are also very benefitial. The person passes the year in health and does not get sick Inshallah. If people apply something like an eye smear, they are protected from eye pain and eye illnesses. Then there is a four-rakat prayer. Of course it needs to be offered before Asr time since supererogatory7 prayers should not be offered after Asr. 11 Ikhlas should be recited in each rakat, and when finished “Hasbunallahu wani’mal wakeel,” is recited 70 times. Following this there is a dua of Ashura. Those who know it can read it, and those who do not can read whatever dua they want. The duas are accepted Inshallah.
It says, “Ask for goodness from Allah.” We need to repent. May Allah forgive us Inshallah. Let us ask for forgiveness Inshallah. The month of Muharram is a holy month. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) used to fast during the month of Muharram before Islam as well. However, when the fasting of Ramadan was made obligatory8, the fasting of Muharram was not made farz and remained a sunna. But it is a confirmed sunna9 and our Holy Prophet (SAW) would fast it.
When he arrived in Medina he saw the Jews were also fasting it. “Why are you fasting it?” he asked. “It is the day Musa Alayhis Salam was saved,” they replied. So our Holy
Prophet (SAW) said, “I am more deserving of it than you are. I will still fast the day my brother Musa Alayhis Salam was saved, but in order to avoid similarity I will fast it two days.” It is either fasted 9-10 or 10-11.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) had passed away afterwards. He knew he was going to pass away and said, “If I live till next year I will fast it like this,” but he passed away afterwards. This hadith is also a strong hadith. That is why the holy ones, awliya and scholars are in consensus about this day. They accept him and his hadiths. All people of tariqa certainly need to fast on this day.
Other sects also fast it and it will Inshallah be a means of guidance for them. As we said yesterday, some events occured on Ashura, the matter of Karbala occured. Nothing happened to our faithful Master Hazrat Hussain (RA), and he reached the highest stations in the sight of Allah. This is our creed. Just as the awliya and prophets reach the highest stations on this day, he reached the highest stations as well. Those who killed him will go to the lowest place and plumb the depths of hell.
This is a matter that is in the sight of Allah and a matter that has been submitted to Allah. We cannot do anything about it in these times. Those people left this world 1400 years ago. One of them left in the highest station. People are cursing those who murdered him till the Day of Judgment. Because our Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “Whoever curses at my companions, may the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of humanity be on them.” These are people deserving of cursing now. Let alone cursing, they martyred our Holy Prophet’s (SAW) very dearest, the most beloved grandchild. We cannot do anything anymore. Allah Azza wa Jalla will question them. There is no other place but hell for what they did.
Some people think the Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamat is supporting the murderers of Hazrat Hussain. Perish the thought10, hasha! Our way is the way of tariqa, the way of Ahle Sunnat, we are on the side of Truth, and we are on the way of our Holy Prophet (SAW). “My Ahl-e Bayt8 are the trust I have left you,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). We need to respect them and hold them in high esteem.
The Ottomans did this for 700 years. They observed the Ahl-e Bayt and honored and respected them as the Ahl-e Sunnat. They managed everything in the best way and nobody could find the right to say anything against them. Since they had so much respect for the Ahl-e Bayt, they would treat them each separately. They would not place them next to normal people, they had their own court, and there was a separate department called Naqib ul-Ashraf that took care of them. Every newborn Ahl-e Bayt would be registered there, and whoever passed away their name woud be deleted.
If something happened they had their own court. The Ottomans would respect the Ahl- e Bayt as such.
Therefore, those who get up and say they oppressed this sect and that sect are telling lies. No such oppression was done whatsoever, and the oppressor was cursed. May the curse of Allah, the angles, and all of humanity until Judgment Day be on those who have committed these acts.
That holy person sacrificed himself because there were children there. 70 holy ones were martyred there, but being martyrs is a great station for them. They did not get martyred and immediately die there. They are living. It is what Allah Azza wa Jalla informs us in the Koran: “Martyrs do not die. They are alive and happy, and they are being sustained there.” As soon as they shut their eyes, they start a new life. Then they wish, “I wish I would be martyred again, come back and be martyred again.”
Therefore, there is no mourning much in Islam. Mourning has no benefit. What needs to be done is reading Koran on that day. It should be read everyday and sent as a gift to their souls. Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Hussain. Our Master Hasan (RA) had passed before him. One Fatiha and three Ikhlas or a Mawlid should be read on Hazrat Hussain (RA) and his friends, to all the martyrs of Karbala. Good works should be done for their souls. This is what needs to be done.
There is no benefit in other things that are done. Let us do things that will be beneficial, let us do things our Master Hazrat Hussain (RA) will be happy with. The martyrs or holy ones are not happy with hue and cry. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) forbid it. Do not ever cry screaming! If you are to cry, cry quietly. It is no big deal. However, crying and screaming, pulling out hair, and what not are never permissible. These are things prohibited by our Holy Prophet (SAW).
May Allah also make us attain their intercession, and may their blessings be upon us Inshallah. Their baraka lasts till the Day of Judgment Inshallah. May we be their neighbors in paradise Inshallah. It is favorable to make dua on this Ashura day. Inshallah may we pray for goodness. Let us pray for the arrival of the person, Mahdi Alayhis Salam, who will save the whole world of Islam from this tyranny Inshallah. May he appear as soon as possible and may those who deny him be ashamed Inshallah.
In any case, they should be ashamed from now on since everything our Holy Prophet (SAW) said appeared, whatever he said came to being one by one. They all know it too. They think it applies to only those during his time. No, our Holy Prophet (SAW) told us about things that will happen till Judgment Day and they will occur. Denying them is unbeneficial. On the contrary, it harms our iman. May Allah fix those poeple too, and may He guide them Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

189. TAKE ADVICE FROM THE COMPETENT Sunday, October 9, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Tariqa is advice. Religion is advice. In the past, they would go from one [distant] place to another to listen to advice. People of today accept advice if they like it. If not, when they do not like it, they do not accept it or they do not pay attention to it and act as if they did not hear it. What happens then? It is of no benefit.
If advice were according to your liking - sometimes it is - but if it were so you would not need advice anyway. Therefore, listening to advice is important. Of course, advice should not be taken from just anybody. There are some things you need to listen to from those who are competent. It is different for religious matters as it is for job matters. You would listen to advice from those who are competent in different matters, but you should not listen to advice from anybody, or a person who could not do it himself. If you get a bad suggestion, if someone tells you, “You will swindle this man like this and like that, and you will be shrewd, etc.” it is not advice. You should be prudent! You should be prudent so you see who you are taking advicve from, who you are benefiting from.
“Ad-din an-nasiha.” As a religion, the religion of Islam is advice. You need to tell the best to the person who comes to you for advice, and Allah would write its reward for you. If not, if you do not give advice thinking, “This man might become better than me,” act in foul play1 and say something else, you would become a traitor in the sight of Allah, you would be written as a liar, and you would be committing a sin.
Therefore, advice and showing the way is a good thing. We need to take it from the competent. If there is something you know, advicing people is the basis of our religion. May Allah grant everybody people who show the right path Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

190.THE BARAKAH OF ‘ĀSHŪRĀ’ Monday, October 10, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
These people want beauty. They want happiness. They want peace. They search for this in the worldly things. They think that relief, joy, happiness, peace are in this world - the more we collect from this world the more we'll find relief and peace, the more we'll be pleased. When they do that without Allāh's love, it doesn't work. People, who do that, who don't have belief, who don't believe in Allāh, they don't get any benefit. The opposite applies to them. The more they collect, the more they own, the more their ambition increases. "I should do this, that, more. This man has more property, wealth. He has a higher position. I should compete with him, I should catch up to him." When he reaches that, he wants something bigger. He can never be peaceful. He looks for peace in dirty things, forbidden things. He finds darkness. He can't find happiness. He is constantly depressed. He isn't peaceful. If he can't help himself, he can't help anyone else.
That's why these are holy days, days that Allāh (jj) made holy. From the first until ‘Āshūrā’, the tenth of the month of Muḥarram. The ninth and tenth are more holy. So our Prophet (sas) told us to fast on 9th and 10th to get the blessing from today, or 10th and 11th. This is what actually benefits people. It gives people both happiness in this world and they win in the hereafter. In this world Allāh (jj) can give peace even without giving money. He (jj) gives joy. Even one per cent of what Allāh (jj) wants is of more benefit than this world. So, in shā’a Llāh, let's live these days with happiness.
May the blessings of the holy ones be upon us. Shaykh Adnan Efendi came also. Today we are together, we are happier. When you are with the loved ones that happiness is incomparable. May Allāh (jj) make this happiness constant.
Today al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are happy to be holy days. The most holy day this, from first Muḥarram until tenth of Muḥarram very special days. And tomorrow ‘Āshūrā’ it is very holy and Prophet (saws) was respecting and love these days. Every Prophet they were also loving these days. So, the barakah of tomorrow, from today the Prophet (saws) made it for us today also, 9th also holy. We are beginning from today to feel this happiness to feel blessed.
And this blessing only for believers. Allāh sent us, gift for believers. To be happy, to be peace, you have peace - inner peace you say in English - happiness, this is what people they are looking for - this happiness. And they are looking in wrong address, wrong place with wrong ideas. Because they are looking for happiness by collecting money, to study the highest university, to get from this world the highest place they want. They try to do their most effort to running after dunyā. Dunyā means, this life. They're not looking for other life. Their only thing "this is our life and no more." So they are trying their hardest to be happy here, and happiness for them to be first study, and their all family they're beginning from three years to send their children to study. After university, they are looking which one is the best university. Family, they're looking like this, so the children also they're growing like this. They don't have any happiness. They're looking for happiness in alcohol, in drugs, and...
Now they are doing wrong. They are trying with every dirty thing. Not good to say here, but they are thinking this is also: you must do this, you must marry same people - woman, woman, men men. No need anymore maybe this can make us more happy, what we are looking for this. This is what they are saying or they are looking in wrong. They're wasting their life and there are millions of people living 60 ,70, 80, 90, 100 years and finish. They are not finding any happiness because they are looking in wrong place.
But Allāh (awj) is sending His messengers and he showed us and who are really believing in him and following him nothing affect them from sadness, poorness, illness, nothing. They are happy all the time because they have this happiness in their heart from this is.. this is gift from Allāh. Allāh said "you only believe in Me and you get this. You cannot get it in any place else." So, in shā’a Llāh with the barakah of these days Allāh give us this real belief, īmān for Him. And to be happy here and hereafter, in shā’a Llāh.

191.THE REWARDS OF ‘ĀSHŪRĀ’ Tuesday, October 11, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Today is the day of ‘Āshūrā’. May it be blessed for all of us, in shā’a Llāh. It is from the special days. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has favoured it for people, not just for Muslims. Before Islām, before our Prophet, this day was still a holy day. All Prophets reached their ranks on this day. They were favoured by it. They reached the grace of Allāh. Therefore, when we say ‘Āshūrā’, it is a day of blessings. Our Prophet showed respect to this day by fasting as it is a holy day. The amount of reward in the presence of Allāh is... Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gives ten for one, 700 for one, 100,000 for one. Because some thawāb (reward), as our Prophet says, 700 thawāb for thawāb in Mecca. Ṣaḥābah also asked how this is so. He said each of that thawāb equals to 100,000 thawāb. That means Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla doesn't fear that His treasures may end. Everything is in the hands of Allāh. Therefore, as much a person is rich, that much he is afraid of giving, thinking that he will have less. No. It's not like this in the presence of Allāh. Allāh gives and He wants people to be like Him.
Today is ‘Āshūrā’. There is an order to do charity at home, relatives, poor ones, to share with them. If you share that goodness, Allāh will make this year easy for you. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying "Don't be afraid that you'll have less by giving. It will be more. You will give today and for its honor, you'll be in comfort the whole year". And take ghusl (shower) today, you will pass the whole year in good health. Put kuḥl on your eyes, you won't have any eye diseases during the year. Today is a holy day. The more goodness you do, the more you pray, the more it will be accepted. Allāh will give you thousands times more in ākhirah and blessings in dunyā.
Today is a beautiful day. It is a good day. It is a very good day for those who are on the way of our Prophet. Because our Prophet didn't make Islām the religion of revenge. He didn't make it the religion of blood feuds. This religion is best continued by ṭuruq [ṭarīqas] that follow our Prophet. Ṭuruq receive directly from our Prophet. They show his beautiful way. Of course, there were happenings today. A beloved grandson of our Prophet was martyred together with his comrades and friends. Some people think badly. However, they ascended to the presence of our Prophet as shahīds (martyrs) of paradise. When someone becomes shahīd, he wishes that he became shahīd once again. Therefore,
it is foolishness to attack people in order to take revenge for Hz. Ḥusayn and his friends. It is illogical. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla paid their rewards. And certainly Allāh will question those who did that evil and attacked him. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will judge them on the Day of Resurrection because they passed away.
Ḥaḍrat Ḥusayn reached the highest stations as shahīd. And the others fell down to the lowest ranks. They fell to asfala sāfilīn (95:5). Therefore, Allāh will take account of them. This ṭarīqah is the way shown by our Prophet. This way is the order of Allāh. You have nothing to do with it. Deal with yourself. If you want it, today is ‘Āshūrā’. You can remember Ḥaḍrat Ḥusayn. Anyway, we read Qur'ān during this whole month for him and his martyred friends' souls. We are praying for them. They don't need our prayers, however, the prayer you dedicate to them is a gift that returns to you. You give one, Allāh gives one thousand. There is big wisdom in it. As they messed with it, fitnah appeared in Islamic world. It wasn't for the good.
Therefore, whatever ṭuruq that are the way of our Prophet say, that is the way of our Prophet, the beautiful ways shown by him. It is the way of mercy. It is the way of justice. It is the way of faith in Allāh. It means we believe in Allāh. If you decide to attack people to take revenge that means you don't trust in Allāh. You don't trust in the justice of Allāh. They cannot escape. There is nowhere to run. They are in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They will be judged. They will carry their punishment.
We should continue on the beautiful way of Allāh. We shouldn't oppress anyone. We shouldn't blame anyone. We shouldn't talk badly about anyone, especially about ṣaḥābah. They are the beloved friends of our Prophet. Who curses them and talks badly about them will be cursed by Allāh, angels and all people, said our Prophet. Therefore, we must be careful. We should mind our own business. Don't interfere - like this happened and that. You don't know what happened yesterday so don't interfere in something you don't need. Don't mess with these things. They are with Allāh. They can't run anywhere - those traitors will carry their punishment. Allāh will punish them for sure. And Ḥaḍrat Ḥusayn is in the highest level of jannah as shahīd, shukr to Allāh. May Allāh make us together with them in jannah, in shā’a Llāh. May we become neighbors to them.
Today ‘Āshūrā’ day. Meaning? Tenth of Muḥarram - ten meaning ‘ashara. We say it ‘Āshūrā’. It is very blessed day, very holy day. Holy day. Even before Prophet (saws) since Ādam (as) until Prophet (saws) every, whole Prophets whole saints all Ummah they were blessed in this day. It was salvation day. From Ādam (as) Allāh forgive him. Nūḥ (as) he is we know this every time, but we can say Nūḥ (as) he land from his ship. Mūsá (as) he go through the sea. ‘Īsā (as) he went to sky, to Heaven this day. Every - Yūnus (as) he come out from whale. So, Yūsuf (as) also coming. All Prophets (saws) it was blessed day to be saved from every bad thing. They are coming to safe place.
For Prophet (saws) also it is blessed day, ‘Āshūrā’. He was saying "I like" and he was fasting this day and he was ordering to people to fast also - two days, not only one day. Because Mūsá (as) was fasting one day, so we cannot make same thing. We must make different so we fast two days - nine and ten, or ten with eleven. And Allāh give us for this day from His endless treasures. He give normally thawāb for one good thing you did, you do - ten. But this day He said 700 times, from Prophet (saws) say, "700 times from reward of holy Ka‘bah.
Ṣaḥābah asking "How it is?" He said "for every reward 100.000 if you pray one rak‘at in ka‘bah 100.000 so for reward also is like this. So it is very holy, blessed day this.
We must make charity. You can if you give for your family, for poor people, for friend to give them present, make them happy, whole year Allāh give you, bless you and never be needing to anybody. Because from His treasures He giving for ākhirah millions and for dunyā also. If you give, Allāh gives you more. Don't be afraid it will finish, if you give for Allāh. If you give for dunyā, for bad thing, it will finish, but for Allāh if you give He never leave you without reward here even before ākhirah. This day must make this and we must wash body, ghusl. Because if for one year you will be healthy if you make shower this day and put kuḥl in your eyes also safe from eye illness. So it is, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, very nice day.
We are happy with this day and we are making as Prophet (saws) order us. But shayṭān he is also not happy with this day - making people to think very bad for this day. But it is not bad day because what happened in Karbalā’ they are angry make people to make them big fitnah about Sayyidinā al-Ḥusayn and his friends. They were shahīd, martyr in Karbalā’. But this is Prophet (saws) saying and we are following him. Who is following Prophet (saws)? Ṭarīqah, especially Naqshbandi ṭarīqah, because it is direcly coming from Prophet (saws) and forty mashāyikh coming all from this line. Prophet (saws) was preventing revenge. And preventing - first thing he said after when he opened, conquered Makkah and Ka‘bah - no blood feud.
So this is what Prophet (saws) saying. And it is not these people, this time people. What happened this, happened before and Allāh make Sayyidinā Ḥusayn in highest place in jannah, Sayyidī shabābu l-Jannah. Master of young [people] in Jannah. And he is martyred, and about martyr Prophet (saws) saying "when he martyr and in his second life" he said, "They are not dead, they are alive. But they like to come again to fight, to make it to also to be martyr." Thousand times if they come, thousand times they like to be again [martyred]. So this is our belief. Whom they don't have belief and they don't listen to Prophet (saws) they make it a very bad day. But no, it happened and you cannot change anything. But what happened you make a big fitnah.
Don't follow fitnah. Only follow Prophet (saws). Be strong in belief because what
Prophet (saws) saying - in ākhirah there is Judgement Day. These people what they've done here they will be asked and they will be punished. Now, you are shouting, crying, swearing, doing things. It's nonsense what they are doing. Because these people now in ākhirah and they are in front of, they cannot run from Allāh Almighty. They're there and they will be asked, and they will be punished for this. This is our belief, this is what Prophet (saws) saying. This is real belief, this is test for belief. If you are believing you must believe in justice of Allāh and He will make them, punish them. But if you are want to shout and cry and making what not in Islām, not in order of Prophet (saws) - this you are free, but it is fitnah.
For this we are saying, ṭarīqah the most important thing because other side also, the people they don't like Ahlu l-Bayt, and this side they are swearing at Prophet's companion. It is not true this. You must be in the middle - kuntum ummatan wasaṭa. This Prophet (saws) ordering to be....not... be extreme, you must be in the middle because we are human beings. Everybody can make wrong thing, so we must be, not say all the time we are right. No, you must be careful, you must follow Prophet (saws) order and asking to be in Jannah with Sayyidinā al-Ḥusayn and his companions.
Because this day it is accepted for praying, du‘ā’ accepted, we pray for every good thing. For hidāyah (guidance) for whole Muslim, because now Muslims they are two billions but they are not, they don't have any value. They are fighting between themselves for things they didn't do and they, other people making fitnah and quickly Muslims they are following this - not thinking what is this! What Prophet (saws) what Allāh order, not thinking. Only quickly running after fitnah. After they are regret, and everything destroyed, every bad thing happen for them. Allāh, we are saying to send us guidance, Sayyidinā al-Mahdī (as) because he will also - in Muḥarram he will appear, in shā’a Llāh. We hope, in shā’a Llāh, because really coming worse and worse. We don't know how many time it will take to come, we hope, in shā’a Llāh, next year to save us from this fitnah, from this bad situation.
In shā’a Llāh, we will pray now four rak‘at for ‘Āshūrā’. We first every rak‘at, we read Fātiḥah and eleven Ikhlāṣ. After we make du‘ā’ also, in shā’a Llāh.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfiq. Al-Fātiḥah.
192.AS-SALAF AṢ-ṢĀLIḤ Wednesday, October 12, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
After the Prophet (saw), come the ṣaḥābas. After the ṣaḥābas come the tābi‘īn. They are the holy ones, who tell us about Islām, describe for us how the Prophet (saw) lived in those times. Very holy people. That's why now people call them salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ. Salaf means people, who lived at that time; people, who try to be like them (the ṣaḥāba). Now people misunderstand this. Even they try, they can't be like them. They do the opposite. Who are the people, who are like them? Pious people, people of taṣawwuf. There are many of them such as Junayd Baghdādī, Ḥabibi al-‘Ajami, Ḥasan al-Baṣrī.
Ḥasan al-Baṣrī Hz. didn’t live at the time of the Prophet (saw). He was a little boy in time of Sayyidinā ‘Alī, he didn't meet him. He was present in the assembly of Hz. ‘Alī's son, Hz. Ḥasan. He took inspiration from him. Hz. Ḥasan took inspiration from his father Hz. ‘Alī and Hz. ‘Alī took inspiration from the Prophet (saw). Because of them Ḥasan al-Baṣrī is very famous. Everyone admired his knowledge, his devotion. He educated a lot of scholars, taṣawwuf people. He also educated a lot of ṭarīqah shaykhs. They reached high ranks by following the way of Ḥasan al-Baṣrī. Where did it come from? It came from the Prophet (saw). Big scholars of that time, they are the salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ.
Now these people, who don't respect anything, who don't accept anything, are saying "we are like them". There's no such thing. Their respect for Islām, the Prophet (saw), the ṣaḥābas, is known until the Day of Judgement. But these people, they are liars; people, who say "we are like them (salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ)". They don't respect them anyway, they say "they are dead, finished". These are the soldiers of the shayṭān, they don't have belief. Nothing else. Only the people, who follow the Prophet's (saw) way, can be saved. They are accepted in this world and the next. Other people, who care for this world, they'll sink in this world. Nobody asks for them. Millions of people came, billions of people passed by, who worked for this world. There is no trace of them. But people, who followed Allāh's way their respect, deeds are eternal in Allāh's presence. People respect them in this world and in the hereafter. Allāh (awj) puts them in the highest ranks, in shā’a Llāh.
Now it is the end of times, people don't understand. People always misunderstood, now even more. They think they are created for this world. They are trying to do everything in this world. Even they do, nothing changes. Do as much as you like. Sometimes they take it away when you are alive. Sometimes, the next generation takes your wealth and wastes it. It has no value anymore. What you do for this world is futile. You have to do it for Allāh, for Allāh's pleasure. Allāh's favours are endless. You do it for Allāh. Don't be scared. Don't do anything for this world. If you'll do for this world, let it be for Allāh's pleasure. Then the favours of this world are permissible for you. You'll also win in hereafter. This is a double win. Otherwise you lose both here and hereafter. That's the real loss.
May Allāh give us good understanding. We shall live only for Allāh, in shā’a Llāh.
We are after Prophet's (saws) ṣaḥābah (companions) time. Prophet (saws) said "my companions, they are like stars. You can follow which(ever) one you'll be safe." And after ṣaḥābah for this reason, many ‘Ālim , many scholars, mu’min, they were looking, they were respecting companions of Prophet (saws). And taking all this knowledge - what Prophet (saws) did how he acted, how he loved, what he loved from this, what he was living - they were trying to do the same thing. So many of Awliyā’u Llāh were coming after this, because ṣaḥābah - after ṣaḥābah, tābi‘īn - tābi‘īn meaning the followers - this is what we call them, salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ. Salaf means, who are before us. But nowadays these people they're calling themselves Salafī, they are not following these people. Because these people, salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ, most of them they were afraid from Allāh and very careful to not do any wrong, any sin, any wrong thing for people, not to make sin in front of Allāh.
Many of them, they're famous. The most famous of them Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, he is a big scholar. He has knowledge from law, sharī‘ah, and Qur’ān and ḥadīth. Everything he knows. And he is biggest ṣūfī, mutaṣawwif. All ṣūfī, famous ṣūfī like Junaid Baghdādī, like Ḥabīb al-‘Ajamī other following him. And he was living time of Sayydinā ‘Alī (qaw) but he was a small child. But after -he didn't see Sayyidinā ‘Alī, he see only Sayyidinā al- Ḥasan (ra), son, grandson of Prophet (saws) son of Sayyidinā ‘Alī. And he was taking knowledge from him also. What he not understanding, asking and following him. And he respected all good, special companion of Prophet (saws) and he was respecting the scholar and respecting people who are have knowledge. And this is..he was teaching thousands of people, guiding them to right way, strong way of Imān and love of Prophet (saws) and Ahlu l-Bayt and taṣawwuf. Most of ṭarīqah not Naqshbandī, other ṭarīqah, coming through him.
So he is not only what these people are trying to say - this sufi people - they are not respecting knowledge of Prophet, or ḥadīth or Qur’ān. No, he is the biggest one in this, his time. But from his humbleness maybe they thought he is not. They don't have any
knowledge. But he was real big scholar and in knowledge of Qur’ān and knowledge of ḥadīth and knowledge of ṭarīqah, taṣawwuf. Showing people the good, nice way of life. This nowadays people, who are claiming they are Salafī, they're against these people, against Salaf and they are only following their ego. They are following, they are army of shayṭān.
To be in this world, you must think why we are here? We must know everything we do, we do for Allāh. What He likes we must follow. What He likes, we must do this. You can live, enjoy your life, and what you must not forget Allāh. You must know you will be in front of Him in Divine Presence, in ākhirah, in Judgement Day. And if you are thinking about Him and doing what He is saying, you will be safe. But if you are coming for this, only looking after benefit from this world, this dunyā, so you will be even in dunyā loser, and in ākhirah more loser. So we must be following this holy people, holy men, what they are teaching us - to not forget, even one second, Allāh (awj).
Allāh He said "kulū wa ashrabū" (7:31) eat and drink and enjoy yourself. Not putting you in prison. Don't do anything just you wait to die and come in front of Me. No, He said eat and drink enjoy yourself. Do everything but in ḥalāl, not wrong way. By order of Allāh, and Allāh gave us everything, we can enjoy ourself, but don't forget Me, He said. Only this He wants from us. And we must be obeying, Allāh make it easy for us to follow His order, in shā’a Llāh.

193.SULṬĀNU L-AWLIYĀ’ Thursday, Ocober 13, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
If you want to be peaceful in this world and win in the hereafter follow the way that Mawlānā showed. Know that everything is from Allāh. Don't be sorry for this world. Mawlānā's whole life was like this. He was like this until the last minute. He didn't change a bit. So don't be sorry for this world much. Allāh (jj) predestined everything. What Allāh (jj) says, will be. Even if you do this, that, nothing will change. That's why he was peaceful.
Mawlānā was never sorry for this world - "I wish I took this, give that, I would profit." He never said such things. Many people say these things. Their lives are filled with regrets. Don't ever regret for this world. If you'll regret, regret the time you forgot Allāh (jj) and wasted your time. Don't worry for this world - this happened, that didn't. Life is passing anyway. So no need to regret. If you were rich, you wouldn't be taller, you wouldn't get fat - you might get fat but your life won't get longer. You can't eat for five, ten people, you would live the same amount. That's why like we said: what he did, his life, are good memories for us, they are big lessons.
Of course we can't do as much as he. What he did, we don't have that much īmān, submission. This īmān issue - the stronger their faith is, the troubles, sorrow of this world doesn't affect them because they know this came from Allāh (jj). Enduring the things coming from Allāh (jj), submitting, results in big rewards, good deeds. The more there is suffering, the more they like it, the people, who have faith.
Mawlānā lived, lived to teach this to people. Of course people get depressed even with the smallest things, they have anxiety. They make themselves uneasy. What is important is that, thanks to Allāh (jj) we saw and we were together with the Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. He saw it from his shaykh. His shaykh saw it from his shaykh. This is the path that goes up to the Prophet (saw). This is the same path. They are all on this beautiful path that he showed. They don't get sad for this world. They aren't busy with this world. Whatever comes as a difficulty, for them it is a happiness. Because they have strong faith it doesn't affect their faith a bit. It strengthens their belief, in fact. May Allāh (jj) give us all such strong faith, in shā’a Llāh.
We are al-ḥamdu liLlāh following Mawlānā Shaykh Nāzim. And he was all time with us, showing us, teaching us about everything, and especially to be happy with everything. It is not easy. But he was all time happy with his Lord, Allāh, his Creator. And he was not complaining for anything, for dunyā, for health, for tired. Never. All time he was accepting because he know he's in Divine Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And he is not saying from his strong belief. He is happy - "This coming from my Lord. So it is good for me." Never complaining.
And he every time telling people to be accept what coming from Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Many times people they coming, saying something and he give them advice to be patient, to be accepting - "Don't object for this". Even for people, he never was quarrelling with other people. For people also give advice to not be quarrelling, to not be fighting with people for dunyā. Many times people coming, complaining for dunyā. He said "This man he take my thing... They take my business. He take..." Many times we see. "Leave this for him" he said. He's coming to say maybe he'll be make du‘ā’ for me to take again. No. He said "Leave it." And after it will be good for these who are listening. And who are not listening, many times we see there was happening very bad thing for them. So if they were listening and leaving what they want for their ego, for the thing for themselves, it will be better to leave it. Because Mawlānā he knows this dunyā not good, especially, when fighting on thing for benefit of this dunyā.
He was, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, like university, teaching everything, and especially to be strong belief, to know everything coming from Allāh and accept and to be happy. This is, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we see him, he is Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. If you see one walī - people they are searching for seeing Awliyā’u Llāh - one walī. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we were with Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. So he was teaching us and he learned this from his Shaykh. And his Shaykh learned from his Shaykh until Prophet (saw). All same like Prophet (saw). We have been like in presence of Prophet (saw) with this nice attribute and nice teaching. And so, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are asking Allāh to help us to be in same way what they teach us, to all these our people to be, get benefit from him al-ḥamdu liLlāh. Because he is real Sulṭān, he never leave us. Each everywhere in this world he can reach and help, in shā’a Llāh.

194.THE HIGHEST LEVEL Friday, October 14, 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 created us in the most beautiful shape. This is the outward shape, we should be beautiful inside also. So, in order to be beautiful inside we have to listen to what Allāh (jj) sent, what the Prophet (saw) said. We have to do what he told us. Because Islām is built on good manners - good behaviour is good manners. Our Prophet (saw) said; "innamā bu‘ithtu li’utammima makārimu l-akhlāq". "Allāh (jj) sent me to teach you good manners. I teach you good manners." Allāh sent me to teach how to deal with people, to communicate with people. That is Islām. Ṭarīqah shows and teaches Islām. "Innamā ṭ-ṭarīqatu adab" he says. The main target of ṭarīqah is to teach good manners.
What is good manners? To show respect; to have mercy for Allāh's creation; to show respect to people, who Allāh raised their levels. The one whom we should love and respect the most is our Prophet (saw) because our Prophet (saw) says: "You should love me more than your children, your family." Whoever loves like this, they'll have īmān. If they don't love like that they are normal Muslims. There is a huge difference between someone with strong īmān and a Muslim. They say: "This rich man owns half of this country. Another man is begging. The difference is as big as this. The Muslim is starving to death. Allāh gave all the blessings to the other. But it is different in this world. Even if he works in this world, he may not gain anything. He may stay poor all his life. He can't be rich even if he wants. But if you work for the hereafter you'll have īmān, you'll reach the highest levels, you'll be like a rich man. Allāh (jj) opened the way. "Whoever wants may do" He (jj) says.
There is "aḍ‘afi l-īmān". Aḍ‘afi l-īmān means the weakest faith, you only say "Lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadun RasūluLlāh". You'll be a Muslim, ok. But this is the poorest Muslim. You pray, fast, give charity, make ḥajj so that you'll be richer. These gradually raise your levels. The more your level raises, the stronger your īmān gets. It gets stronger as you do what Allāh orders. But there is a point here. The most important thing is good manners. Without good manners, all is useless. Good manners is to honor, love and respect the Prophet (saw). It is to believe that he is our intercessor and we'll be saved from hell for his (saw) honour on the Day of Judgement. Otherwise if you don't respect him, no matter
how much you worship Allāh (jj), your worship is incomplete. You don't respect the one, whom Allāh (jj) loved and raised. Allāh (jj) won't respect you.
People are all on the same level. Then some people rise more, some go down more. People, who rise are the ones, who respect and honor Allāh's (jj) beloved servants. Because Allāh (awj) raises whoever He (jj) wants. Also in this world, people aren't blind. There are poor, rich, hungry, full, black, white, Allāh (jj) created as He liked. You can't ask Allāh (jj) "Why You made this one higher?" No, that is not good manners. Ṭarīqah prohibits that. Some unbelievers say that also. Some religious people, some Muslims also ask this. Tempted by shayṭān, they relate others' words so their levels go down more. Like we said, in order to be raised we have to respect the saints, prophets, the companions, the family of the Prophet and say; "They are Allāh's (jj) favors to us. Because when the saints are among us, Allāh (jj) has mercy on us for their sake. Allāh (jj) gives us our rizq, makes it rain. This is the ḥadith of our Prophet (saw) - bihim tumṭarūn bihim turzaqūn - Allāh (jj) gives your rizq for their sake, makes it rain for their sake. Without them, not even one drop of rain would fall on this world with all its corruption.
So, may their blessings be upon us. In shā’a Llāh, we'll have their love inside us, in shā’a Llāh.
We are al-ḥamduliLlāh, Allāh create us highest level and the best shape for human being. And He make some of them more perfect. And they are beloved for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. These people, we must love them. With these... Because they are mercy from Allāh sent them to us to teach us how to live. Because all human beings, Allāh create them same. And they are only by following what Allāh ordered, some of them getting higher, some of them getting lower. And this is Prophet (saw) he is teaching us. And he the best teaching. Allāh teach him to be good behavior, the best one. And he (sas) said "Allāh sent me to teach you good behavior, to be good human being, to be good for everything, for everybody." And Allāh teach him and He make him the best. And he is the most beloved for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And he teach us.
In Islām everything following Prophet (saw), his teaching, his acting, what he is doing. And he was the most polite, the most merciful and the most wisdom. He has everything, Allāh give him the best. So he teach us to be good behaved. Ṭarīqah also, this is teaching of ṭarīqah - not to be tough, not to be oppressor, not to be not respect. We must respect. We must respect, the first, Prophet (saw). Because many people, they are not respect him. Because they said "He is like us and no need to respect" about Prophet (saw) and this people they saying only following Qur'ān and hadīth. And Prophet (saw) he said many times "You must love me more than yourself, more than your children, more than your father, mother." This is what Prophet order: to love Prophet (saw). And only it is love he wants. Love what meaning? Respect. It is not difficult. But they are making so difficult.
And they are making people to suspect if we respect Prophet (saw), if we are in wrong way, maybe we are mushrik.
Many ignorant people following these people. But Islām, no. It is respect. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He make as He wish - some people lower, some people higher. And to be Muslim, it's ok, the first step But you can go higher - to be mu’min, real believer. Believer, mu’min means believer. It is higher than Muslim. Muslim who are saying lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammad Rasūlu Llāh. It is first level. It is ok. But he is like poor in this... If we make it example, like beggar, first .
He don't have anything, he's hungry, he's no nothing, no home. Only begging from people. And there is the very rich people - these like believer because they have. But in dunyā who is beggar, he like to be rich one. If he tries, many million they are not become rich. Whole life becoming beggar and finish. Die, going like this. This for dunyā, for this world. But for ākhirah, if he is like the first step, he want to be more, Allāh He open everything for him. It's open. He can quickly to finish from this the lowest level. You can pray, going higher. Fasting, going higher. Giving zakāt, going higher. Going to ḥajj, higher and higher like this and making charity, making love of Prophet and making ṣalawāt, everything. Praying more, reading Qur'ān more. This is going higher and higher. This open for you.
So it is no need to be in lowest. Allāh open for us and He saying making level. But you must all you do this. Beside this, the very important thing to not be saying "I am doing this, No need for Prophet (saw)." No. Beside this, the most important thing to be respect Prophet (saw) and to believe in his shafā‘ah. By his mercy we can go to paradise. If we don't do this, this all what we've done - nothing. Because Allāh order us to pray on Prophet (saw), to respect him and to accept him, all to be as in his grave he is alive, not dead. Who is saying he's dead, he is dead man. Prophet (saw) alive. "I am - "Ana ḥayyun urzaq" I am alive. I am getting everything here" Prophet (saw). Even shahīd they are ḥayyun yurzaq. How for Prophet (saw)? And these people, they cheating many people. All around the world they are cheated by these people.
So to be respect, it is real the most important thing - for Prophet (saw), for his ṣaḥābah, for his ahlu l-bayt, for Awliyā’u Llāh. Because they are in e

red, but now those who say they are Muslim cause greater tyranny than the unbeliver.
This is what our Holy Prophet (SAW) is speaking about and this is the time. Because there are narrations he will appear in the month of Muharram. This is not the hadith of our Holy Prophet (SAW) but what the saints6 are saying. He is expected in the month of Muharram. This month of Muharram has passed and we are awaiting for him in the next month of Muharram Inshallah.
The month of Muharram is a holy month since the tenth day is the day of Ashura. It is the day of salvation. It is the day of being delivered relief or salvation. Adam Alayhis Salam’s repentance was accepted on this day. Nuh Alayhis Salam’s ship being saved from the flood, Musa Alayhis Salam’s crossing the sea and escaping from the hands of Pharaoh, Prophet Yunus being saved from the belly of the whale, and Isa Alayhis Salam’s ascending to heaven are all on this day. Today, many things were saved from the enemy. May this Nation’s salvation Inshallah also occur on this day. So it is estimated Mahdi Alayhis Salam comes out on Ashura day.
Inshallah it will be mubarak. That day is a blessed day. Of course that day has its worships. It is of great virtue to fast on the 9th and 10th days of Muharram. It is also very virtuous to fast from the 1st to the 10th. The person who does this is granted the highest spot in the garden of Paradise. Giving charity, buying lots of provisions for home, and making people at home happy on that day gives blessings and that year passes in baraka.
Making ghusl, bathing and doing a full-body ablution are also very benefitial. The person passes the year in health and does not get sick Inshallah. If people apply something like an eye smear, they are protected from eye pain and eye illnesses. Then there is a four-rakat prayer. Of course it needs to be offered before Asr time since supererogatory7 prayers should not be offered after Asr. 11 Ikhlas should be recited in each rakat, and when finished “Hasbunallahu wani’mal wakeel,” is recited 70 times. Following this there is a dua of Ashura. Those who know it can read it, and those who do not can read whatever dua they want. The duas are accepted Inshallah.
It says, “Ask for goodness from Allah.” We need to repent. May Allah forgive us Inshallah. Let us ask for forgiveness Inshallah. The month of Muharram is a holy month. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) used to fast during the month of Muharram before Islam as well. However, when the fasting of Ramadan was made obligatory8, the fasting of Muharram was not made farz and remained a sunna. But it is a confirmed sunna9 and our Holy Prophet (SAW) would fast it.
When he arrived in Medina he saw the Jews were also fasting it. “Why are you fasting it?” he asked. “It is the day Musa Alayhis Salam was saved,” they replied. So our Holy
Prophet (SAW) said, “I am more deserving of it than you are. I will still fast the day my brother Musa Alayhis Salam was saved, but in order to avoid similarity I will fast it two days.” It is either fasted 9-10 or 10-11.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) had passed away afterwards. He knew he was going to pass away and said, “If I live till next year I will fast it like this,” but he passed away afterwards. This hadith is also a strong hadith. That is why the holy ones, awliya and scholars are in consensus about this day. They accept him and his hadiths. All people of tariqa certainly need to fast on this day.
Other sects also fast it and it will Inshallah be a means of guidance for them. As we said yesterday, some events occured on Ashura, the matter of Karbala occured. Nothing happened to our faithful Master Hazrat Hussain (RA), and he reached the highest stations in the sight of Allah. This is our creed. Just as the awliya and prophets reach the highest stations on this day, he reached the highest stations as well. Those who killed him will go to the lowest place and plumb the depths of hell.
This is a matter that is in the sight of Allah and a matter that has been submitted to Allah. We cannot do anything about it in these times. Those people left this world 1400 years ago. One of them left in the highest station. People are cursing those who murdered him till the Day of Judgment. Because our Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “Whoever curses at my companions, may the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of humanity be on them.” These are people deserving of cursing now. Let alone cursing, they martyred our Holy Prophet’s (SAW) very dearest, the most beloved grandchild. We cannot do anything anymore. Allah Azza wa Jalla will question them. There is no other place but hell for what they did.
Some people think the Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamat is supporting the murderers of Hazrat Hussain. Perish the thought10, hasha! Our way is the way of tariqa, the way of Ahle Sunnat, we are on the side of Truth, and we are on the way of our Holy Prophet (SAW). “My Ahl-e Bayt8 are the trust I have left you,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). We need to respect them and hold them in high esteem.
The Ottomans did this for 700 years. They observed the Ahl-e Bayt and honored and respected them as the Ahl-e Sunnat. They managed everything in the best way and nobody could find the right to say anything against them. Since they had so much respect for the Ahl-e Bayt, they would treat them each separately. They would not place them next to normal people, they had their own court, and there was a separate department called Naqib ul-Ashraf that took care of them. Every newborn Ahl-e Bayt would be registered there, and whoever passed away their name woud be deleted.
If something happened they had their own court. The Ottomans would respect the Ahl- e Bayt as such.
Therefore, those who get up and say they oppressed this sect and that sect are telling lies. No such oppression was done whatsoever, and the oppressor was cursed. May the curse of Allah, the angles, and all of humanity until Judgment Day be on those who have committed these acts.
That holy person sacrificed himself because there were children there. 70 holy ones were martyred there, but being martyrs is a great station for them. They did not get martyred and immediately die there. They are living. It is what Allah Azza wa Jalla informs us in the Koran: “Martyrs do not die. They are alive and happy, and they are being sustained there.” As soon as they shut their eyes, they start a new life. Then they wish, “I wish I would be martyred again, come back and be martyred again.”
Therefore, there is no mourning much in Islam. Mourning has no benefit. What needs to be done is reading Koran on that day. It should be read everyday and sent as a gift to their souls. Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Hussain. Our Master Hasan (RA) had passed before him. One Fatiha and three Ikhlas or a Mawlid should be read on Hazrat Hussain (RA) and his friends, to all the martyrs of Karbala. Good works should be done for their souls. This is what needs to be done.
There is no benefit in other things that are done. Let us do things that will be beneficial, let us do things our Master Hazrat Hussain (RA) will be happy with. The martyrs or holy ones are not happy with hue and cry. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) forbid it. Do not ever cry screaming! If you are to cry, cry quietly. It is no big deal. However, crying and screaming, pulling out hair, and what not are never permissible. These are things prohibited by our Holy Prophet (SAW).
May Allah also make us attain their intercession, and may their blessings be upon us Inshallah. Their baraka lasts till the Day of Judgment Inshallah. May we be their neighbors in paradise Inshallah. It is favorable to make dua on this Ashura day. Inshallah may we pray for goodness. Let us pray for the arrival of the person, Mahdi Alayhis Salam, who will save the whole world of Islam from this tyranny Inshallah. May he appear as soon as possible and may those who deny him be ashamed Inshallah.
In any case, they should be ashamed from now on since everything our Holy Prophet (SAW) said appeared, whatever he said came to being one by one. They all know it too. They think it applies to only those during his time. No, our Holy Prophet (SAW) told us about things that will happen till Judgment Day and they will occur. Denying them is unbeneficial. On the contrary, it harms our iman. May Allah fix those poeple too, and may He guide them Inshallah.

189. TAKE ADVICE FROM THE COMPETENT Sunday, October 9, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Tariqa is advice. Religion is advice. In the past, they would go from one [distant] place to another to listen to advice. People of today accept advice if they like it. If not, when they do not like it, they do not accept it or they do not pay attention to it and act as if they did not hear it. What happens then? It is of no benefit.
If advice were according to your liking - sometimes it is - but if it were so you would not need advice anyway. Therefore, listening to advice is important. Of course, advice should not be taken from just anybody. There are some things you need to listen to from those who are competent. It is different for religious matters as it is for job matters. You would listen to advice from those who are competent in different matters, but you should not listen to advice from anybody, or a person who could not do it himself. If you get a bad suggestion, if someone tells you, “You will swindle this man like this and like that, and you will be shrewd, etc.” it is not advice. You should be prudent! You should be prudent so you see who you are taking advicve from, who you are benefiting from.
“Ad-din an-nasiha.” As a religion, the religion of Islam is advice. You need to tell the best to the person who comes to you for advice, and Allah would write its reward for you. If not, if you do not give advice thinking, “This man might become better than me,” act in foul play1 and say something else, you would become a traitor in the sight of Allah, you would be written as a liar, and you would be committing a sin.
Therefore, advice and showing the way is a good thing. We need to take it from the competent. If there is something you know, advicing people is the basis of our religion. May Allah grant everybody people who show the right path Inshallah.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
These people want beauty. They want happiness. They want peace. They search for this in the worldly things. They think that relief, joy, happiness, peace are in this world - the more we collect from this world the more we'll find relief and peace, the more we'll be pleased. When they do that without Allāh's love, it doesn't work. People, who do that, who don't have belief, who don't believe in Allāh, they don't get any benefit. The opposite applies to them. The more they collect, the more they own, the more their ambition increases. "I should do this, that, more. This man has more property, wealth. He has a higher position. I should compete with him, I should catch up to him." When he reaches that, he wants something bigger. He can never be peaceful. He looks for peace in dirty things, forbidden things. He finds darkness. He can't find happiness. He is constantly depressed. He isn't peaceful. If he can't help himself, he can't help anyone else.
That's why these are holy days, days that Allāh (jj) made holy. From the first until ‘Āshūrā’, the tenth of the month of Muḥarram. The ninth and tenth are more holy. So our Prophet (sas) told us to fast on 9th and 10th to get the blessing from today, or 10th and 11th. This is what actually benefits people. It gives people both happiness in this world and they win in the hereafter. In this world Allāh (jj) can give peace even without giving money. He (jj) gives joy. Even one per cent of what Allāh (jj) wants is of more benefit than this world. So, in shā’a Llāh, let's live these days with happiness.
May the blessings of the holy ones be upon us. Shaykh Adnan Efendi came also. Today we are together, we are happier. When you are with the loved ones that happiness is incomparable. May Allāh (jj) make this happiness constant.
Today al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are happy to be holy days. The most holy day this, from first Muḥarram until tenth of Muḥarram very special days. And tomorrow ‘Āshūrā’ it is very holy and Prophet (saws) was respecting and love these days. Every Prophet they were also loving these days. So, the barakah of tomorrow, from today the Prophet (saws) made it for us today also, 9th also holy. We are beginning from today to feel this happiness to feel blessed.
And this blessing only for believers. Allāh sent us, gift for believers. To be happy, to be peace, you have peace - inner peace you say in English - happiness, this is what people they are looking for - this happiness. And they are looking in wrong address, wrong place with wrong ideas. Because they are looking for happiness by collecting money, to study the highest university, to get from this world the highest place they want. They try to do their most effort to running after dunyā. Dunyā means, this life. They're not looking for other life. Their only thing "this is our life and no more." So they are trying their hardest to be happy here, and happiness for them to be first study, and their all family they're beginning from three years to send their children to study. After university, they are looking which one is the best university. Family, they're looking like this, so the children also they're growing like this. They don't have any happiness. They're looking for happiness in alcohol, in drugs, and...
Now they are doing wrong. They are trying with every dirty thing. Not good to say here, but they are thinking this is also: you must do this, you must marry same people - woman, woman, men men. No need anymore maybe this can make us more happy, what we are looking for this. This is what they are saying or they are looking in wrong. They're wasting their life and there are millions of people living 60 ,70, 80, 90, 100 years and finish. They are not finding any happiness because they are looking in wrong place.
But Allāh (awj) is sending His messengers and he showed us and who are really believing in him and following him nothing affect them from sadness, poorness, illness, nothing. They are happy all the time because they have this happiness in their heart from this is.. this is gift from Allāh. Allāh said "you only believe in Me and you get this. You cannot get it in any place else." So, in shā’a Llāh with the barakah of these days Allāh give us this real belief, īmān for Him. And to be happy here and hereafter, in shā’a Llāh.

191.THE REWARDS OF ‘ĀSHŪRĀ’ Tuesday, October 11, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Today is the day of ‘Āshūrā’. May it be blessed for all of us, in shā’a Llāh. It is from the special days. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has favoured it for people, not just for Muslims. Before Islām, before our Prophet, this day was still a holy day. All Prophets reached their ranks on this day. They were favoured by it. They reached the grace of Allāh. Therefore, when we say ‘Āshūrā’, it is a day of blessings. Our Prophet showed respect to this day by fasting as it is a holy day. The amount of reward in the presence of Allāh is... Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gives ten for one, 700 for one, 100,000 for one. Because some thawāb (reward), as our Prophet says, 700 thawāb for thawāb in Mecca. Ṣaḥābah also asked how this is so. He said each of that thawāb equals to 100,000 thawāb. That means Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla doesn't fear that His treasures may end. Everything is in the hands of Allāh. Therefore, as much a person is rich, that much he is afraid of giving, thinking that he will have less. No. It's not like this in the presence of Allāh. Allāh gives and He wants people to be like Him.
Today is ‘Āshūrā’. There is an order to do charity at home, relatives, poor ones, to share with them. If you share that goodness, Allāh will make this year easy for you. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying "Don't be afraid that you'll have less by giving. It will be more. You will give today and for its honor, you'll be in comfort the whole year". And take ghusl (shower) today, you will pass the whole year in good health. Put kuḥl on your eyes, you won't have any eye diseases during the year. Today is a holy day. The more goodness you do, the more you pray, the more it will be accepted. Allāh will give you thousands times more in ākhirah and blessings in dunyā.
Today is a beautiful day. It is a good day. It is a very good day for those who are on the way of our Prophet. Because our Prophet didn't make Islām the religion of revenge. He didn't make it the religion of blood feuds. This religion is best continued by ṭuruq [ṭarīqas] that follow our Prophet. Ṭuruq receive directly from our Prophet. They show his beautiful way. Of course, there were happenings today. A beloved grandson of our Prophet was martyred together with his comrades and friends. Some people think badly. However, they ascended to the presence of our Prophet as shahīds (martyrs) of paradise. When someone becomes shahīd, he wishes that he became shahīd once again. Therefore,
it is foolishness to attack people in order to take revenge for Hz. Ḥusayn and his friends. It is illogical. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla paid their rewards. And certainly Allāh will question those who did that evil and attacked him. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will judge them on the Day of Resurrection because they passed away.
Ḥaḍrat Ḥusayn reached the highest stations as shahīd. And the others fell down to the lowest ranks. They fell to asfala sāfilīn (95:5). Therefore, Allāh will take account of them. This ṭarīqah is the way shown by our Prophet. This way is the order of Allāh. You have nothing to do with it. Deal with yourself. If you want it, today is ‘Āshūrā’. You can remember Ḥaḍrat Ḥusayn. Anyway, we read Qur'ān during this whole month for him and his martyred friends' souls. We are praying for them. They don't need our prayers, however, the prayer you dedicate to them is a gift that returns to you. You give one, Allāh gives one thousand. There is big wisdom in it. As they messed with it, fitnah appeared in Islamic world. It wasn't for the good.
Therefore, whatever ṭuruq that are the way of our Prophet say, that is the way of our Prophet, the beautiful ways shown by him. It is the way of mercy. It is the way of justice. It is the way of faith in Allāh. It means we believe in Allāh. If you decide to attack people to take revenge that means you don't trust in Allāh. You don't trust in the justice of Allāh. They cannot escape. There is nowhere to run. They are in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They will be judged. They will carry their punishment.
We should continue on the beautiful way of Allāh. We shouldn't oppress anyone. We shouldn't blame anyone. We shouldn't talk badly about anyone, especially about ṣaḥābah. They are the beloved friends of our Prophet. Who curses them and talks badly about them will be cursed by Allāh, angels and all people, said our Prophet. Therefore, we must be careful. We should mind our own business. Don't interfere - like this happened and that. You don't know what happened yesterday so don't interfere in something you don't need. Don't mess with these things. They are with Allāh. They can't run anywhere - those traitors will carry their punishment. Allāh will punish them for sure. And Ḥaḍrat Ḥusayn is in the highest level of jannah as shahīd, shukr to Allāh. May Allāh make us together with them in jannah, in shā’a Llāh. May we become neighbors to them.
Today ‘Āshūrā’ day. Meaning? Tenth of Muḥarram - ten meaning ‘ashara. We say it ‘Āshūrā’. It is very blessed day, very holy day. Holy day. Even before Prophet (saws) since Ādam (as) until Prophet (saws) every, whole Prophets whole saints all Ummah they were blessed in this day. It was salvation day. From Ādam (as) Allāh forgive him. Nūḥ (as) he is we know this every time, but we can say Nūḥ (as) he land from his ship. Mūsá (as) he go through the sea. ‘Īsā (as) he went to sky, to Heaven this day. Every - Yūnus (as) he come out from whale. So, Yūsuf (as) also coming. All Prophets (saws) it was blessed day to be saved from every bad thing. They are coming to safe place.
For Prophet (saws) also it is blessed day, ‘Āshūrā’. He was saying "I like" and he was fasting this day and he was ordering to people to fast also - two days, not only one day. Because Mūsá (as) was fasting one day, so we cannot make same thing. We must make different so we fast two days - nine and ten, or ten with eleven. And Allāh give us for this day from His endless treasures. He give normally thawāb for one good thing you did, you do - ten. But this day He said 700 times, from Prophet (saws) say, "700 times from reward of holy Ka‘bah.
Ṣaḥābah asking "How it is?" He said "for every reward 100.000 if you pray one rak‘at in ka‘bah 100.000 so for reward also is like this. So it is very holy, blessed day this.
We must make charity. You can if you give for your family, for poor people, for friend to give them present, make them happy, whole year Allāh give you, bless you and never be needing to anybody. Because from His treasures He giving for ākhirah millions and for dunyā also. If you give, Allāh gives you more. Don't be afraid it will finish, if you give for Allāh. If you give for dunyā, for bad thing, it will finish, but for Allāh if you give He never leave you without reward here even before ākhirah. This day must make this and we must wash body, ghusl. Because if for one year you will be healthy if you make shower this day and put kuḥl in your eyes also safe from eye illness. So it is, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, very nice day.
We are happy with this day and we are making as Prophet (saws) order us. But shayṭān he is also not happy with this day - making people to think very bad for this day. But it is not bad day because what happened in Karbalā’ they are angry make people to make them big fitnah about Sayyidinā al-Ḥusayn and his friends. They were shahīd, martyr in Karbalā’. But this is Prophet (saws) saying and we are following him. Who is following Prophet (saws)? Ṭarīqah, especially Naqshbandi ṭarīqah, because it is direcly coming from Prophet (saws) and forty mashāyikh coming all from this line. Prophet (saws) was preventing revenge. And preventing - first thing he said after when he opened, conquered Makkah and Ka‘bah - no blood feud.
So this is what Prophet (saws) saying. And it is not these people, this time people. What happened this, happened before and Allāh make Sayyidinā Ḥusayn in highest place in jannah, Sayyidī shabābu l-Jannah. Master of young [people] in Jannah. And he is martyred, and about martyr Prophet (saws) saying "when he martyr and in his second life" he said, "They are not dead, they are alive. But they like to come again to fight, to make it to also to be martyr." Thousand times if they come, thousand times they like to be again [martyred]. So this is our belief. Whom they don't have belief and they don't listen to Prophet (saws) they make it a very bad day. But no, it happened and you cannot change anything. But what happened you make a big fitnah.
Don't follow fitnah. Only follow Prophet (saws). Be strong in belief because what
Prophet (saws) saying - in ākhirah there is Judgement Day. These people what they've done here they will be asked and they will be punished. Now, you are shouting, crying, swearing, doing things. It's nonsense what they are doing. Because these people now in ākhirah and they are in front of, they cannot run from Allāh Almighty. They're there and they will be asked, and they will be punished for this. This is our belief, this is what Prophet (saws) saying. This is real belief, this is test for belief. If you are believing you must believe in justice of Allāh and He will make them, punish them. But if you are want to shout and cry and making what not in Islām, not in order of Prophet (saws) - this you are free, but it is fitnah.
For this we are saying, ṭarīqah the most important thing because other side also, the people they don't like Ahlu l-Bayt, and this side they are swearing at Prophet's companion. It is not true this. You must be in the middle - kuntum ummatan wasaṭa. This Prophet (saws) ordering to be....not... be extreme, you must be in the middle because we are human beings. Everybody can make wrong thing, so we must be, not say all the time we are right. No, you must be careful, you must follow Prophet (saws) order and asking to be in Jannah with Sayyidinā al-Ḥusayn and his companions.
Because this day it is accepted for praying, du‘ā’ accepted, we pray for every good thing. For hidāyah (guidance) for whole Muslim, because now Muslims they are two billions but they are not, they don't have any value. They are fighting between themselves for things they didn't do and they, other people making fitnah and quickly Muslims they are following this - not thinking what is this! What Prophet (saws) what Allāh order, not thinking. Only quickly running after fitnah. After they are regret, and everything destroyed, every bad thing happen for them. Allāh, we are saying to send us guidance, Sayyidinā al-Mahdī (as) because he will also - in Muḥarram he will appear, in shā’a Llāh. We hope, in shā’a Llāh, because really coming worse and worse. We don't know how many time it will take to come, we hope, in shā’a Llāh, next year to save us from this fitnah, from this bad situation.
In shā’a Llāh, we will pray now four rak‘at for ‘Āshūrā’. We first every rak‘at, we read Fātiḥah and eleven Ikhlāṣ. After we make du‘ā’ also, in shā’a Llāh.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfiq. Al-Fātiḥah.
192.AS-SALAF AṢ-ṢĀLIḤ Wednesday, October 12, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
After the Prophet (saw), come the ṣaḥābas. After the ṣaḥābas come the tābi‘īn. They are the holy ones, who tell us about Islām, describe for us how the Prophet (saw) lived in those times. Very holy people. That's why now people call them salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ. Salaf means people, who lived at that time; people, who try to be like them (the ṣaḥāba). Now people misunderstand this. Even they try, they can't be like them. They do the opposite. Who are the people, who are like them? Pious people, people of taṣawwuf. There are many of them such as Junayd Baghdādī, Ḥabibi al-‘Ajami, Ḥasan al-Baṣrī.
Ḥasan al-Baṣrī Hz. didn’t live at the time of the Prophet (saw). He was a little boy in time of Sayyidinā ‘Alī, he didn't meet him. He was present in the assembly of Hz. ‘Alī's son, Hz. Ḥasan. He took inspiration from him. Hz. Ḥasan took inspiration from his father Hz. ‘Alī and Hz. ‘Alī took inspiration from the Prophet (saw). Because of them Ḥasan al-Baṣrī is very famous. Everyone admired his knowledge, his devotion. He educated a lot of scholars, taṣawwuf people. He also educated a lot of ṭarīqah shaykhs. They reached high ranks by following the way of Ḥasan al-Baṣrī. Where did it come from? It came from the Prophet (saw). Big scholars of that time, they are the salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ.
Now these people, who don't respect anything, who don't accept anything, are saying "we are like them". There's no such thing. Their respect for Islām, the Prophet (saw), the ṣaḥābas, is known until the Day of Judgement. But these people, they are liars; people, who say "we are like them (salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ)". They don't respect them anyway, they say "they are dead, finished". These are the soldiers of the shayṭān, they don't have belief. Nothing else. Only the people, who follow the Prophet's (saw) way, can be saved. They are accepted in this world and the next. Other people, who care for this world, they'll sink in this world. Nobody asks for them. Millions of people came, billions of people passed by, who worked for this world. There is no trace of them. But people, who followed Allāh's way their respect, deeds are eternal in Allāh's presence. People respect them in this world and in the hereafter. Allāh (awj) puts them in the highest ranks, in shā’a Llāh.
Now it is the end of times, people don't understand. People always misunderstood, now even more. They think they are created for this world. They are trying to do everything in this world. Even they do, nothing changes. Do as much as you like. Sometimes they take it away when you are alive. Sometimes, the next generation takes your wealth and wastes it. It has no value anymore. What you do for this world is futile. You have to do it for Allāh, for Allāh's pleasure. Allāh's favours are endless. You do it for Allāh. Don't be scared. Don't do anything for this world. If you'll do for this world, let it be for Allāh's pleasure. Then the favours of this world are permissible for you. You'll also win in hereafter. This is a double win. Otherwise you lose both here and hereafter. That's the real loss.
May Allāh give us good understanding. We shall live only for Allāh, in shā’a Llāh.
We are after Prophet's (saws) ṣaḥābah (companions) time. Prophet (saws) said "my companions, they are like stars. You can follow which(ever) one you'll be safe." And after ṣaḥābah for this reason, many ‘Ālim , many scholars, mu’min, they were looking, they were respecting companions of Prophet (saws). And taking all this knowledge - what Prophet (saws) did how he acted, how he loved, what he loved from this, what he was living - they were trying to do the same thing. So many of Awliyā’u Llāh were coming after this, because ṣaḥābah - after ṣaḥābah, tābi‘īn - tābi‘īn meaning the followers - this is what we call them, salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ. Salaf means, who are before us. But nowadays these people they're calling themselves Salafī, they are not following these people. Because these people, salafu ṣ-ṣāliḥ, most of them they were afraid from Allāh and very careful to not do any wrong, any sin, any wrong thing for people, not to make sin in front of Allāh.
Many of them, they're famous. The most famous of them Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, he is a big scholar. He has knowledge from law, sharī‘ah, and Qur’ān and ḥadīth. Everything he knows. And he is biggest ṣūfī, mutaṣawwif. All ṣūfī, famous ṣūfī like Junaid Baghdādī, like Ḥabīb al-‘Ajamī other following him. And he was living time of Sayydinā ‘Alī (qaw) but he was a small child. But after -he didn't see Sayyidinā ‘Alī, he see only Sayyidinā al- Ḥasan (ra), son, grandson of Prophet (saws) son of Sayyidinā ‘Alī. And he was taking knowledge from him also. What he not understanding, asking and following him. And he respected all good, special companion of Prophet (saws) and he was respecting the scholar and respecting people who are have knowledge. And this is..he was teaching thousands of people, guiding them to right way, strong way of Imān and love of Prophet (saws) and Ahlu l-Bayt and taṣawwuf. Most of ṭarīqah not Naqshbandī, other ṭarīqah, coming through him.
So he is not only what these people are trying to say - this sufi people - they are not respecting knowledge of Prophet, or ḥadīth or Qur’ān. No, he is the biggest one in this, his time. But from his humbleness maybe they thought he is not. They don't have any
knowledge. But he was real big scholar and in knowledge of Qur’ān and knowledge of ḥadīth and knowledge of ṭarīqah, taṣawwuf. Showing people the good, nice way of life. This nowadays people, who are claiming they are Salafī, they're against these people, against Salaf and they are only following their ego. They are following, they are army of shayṭān.
To be in this world, you must think why we are here? We must know everything we do, we do for Allāh. What He likes we must follow. What He likes, we must do this. You can live, enjoy your life, and what you must not forget Allāh. You must know you will be in front of Him in Divine Presence, in ākhirah, in Judgement Day. And if you are thinking about Him and doing what He is saying, you will be safe. But if you are coming for this, only looking after benefit from this world, this dunyā, so you will be even in dunyā loser, and in ākhirah more loser. So we must be following this holy people, holy men, what they are teaching us - to not forget, even one second, Allāh (awj).
Allāh He said "kulū wa ashrabū" (7:31) eat and drink and enjoy yourself. Not putting you in prison. Don't do anything just you wait to die and come in front of Me. No, He said eat and drink enjoy yourself. Do everything but in ḥalāl, not wrong way. By order of Allāh, and Allāh gave us everything, we can enjoy ourself, but don't forget Me, He said. Only this He wants from us. And we must be obeying, Allāh make it easy for us to follow His order, in shā’a Llāh.

193.SULṬĀNU L-AWLIYĀ’ Thursday, Ocober 13, 2016.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
If you want to be peaceful in this world and win in the hereafter follow the way that Mawlānā showed. Know that everything is from Allāh. Don't be sorry for this world. Mawlānā's whole life was like this. He was like this until the last minute. He didn't change a bit. So don't be sorry for this world much. Allāh (jj) predestined everything. What Allāh (jj) says, will be. Even if you do this, that, nothing will change. That's why he was peaceful.
Mawlānā was never sorry for this world - "I wish I took this, give that, I would profit." He never said such things. Many people say these things. Their lives are filled with regrets. Don't ever regret for this world. If you'll regret, regret the time you forgot Allāh (jj) and wasted your time. Don't worry for this world - this happened, that didn't. Life is passing anyway. So no need to regret. If you were rich, you wouldn't be taller, you wouldn't get fat - you might get fat but your life won't get longer. You can't eat for five, ten people, you would live the same amount. That's why like we said: what he did, his life, are good memories for us, they are big lessons.
Of course we can't do as much as he. What he did, we don't have that much īmān, submission. This īmān issue - the stronger their faith is, the troubles, sorrow of this world doesn't affect them because they know this came from Allāh (jj). Enduring the things coming from Allāh (jj), submitting, results in big rewards, good deeds. The more there is suffering, the more they like it, the people, who have faith.
Mawlānā lived, lived to teach this to people. Of course people get depressed even with the smallest things, they have anxiety. They make themselves uneasy. What is important is that, thanks to Allāh (jj) we saw and we were together with the Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. He saw it from his shaykh. His shaykh saw it from his shaykh. This is the path that goes up to the Prophet (saw). This is the same path. They are all on this beautiful path that he showed. They don't get sad for this world. They aren't busy with this world. Whatever comes as a difficulty, for them it is a happiness. Because they have strong faith it doesn't affect their faith a bit. It strengthens their belief, in fact. May Allāh (jj) give us all such strong faith, in shā’a Llāh.
We are al-ḥamdu liLlāh following Mawlānā Shaykh Nāzim. And he was all time with us, showing us, teaching us about everything, and especially to be happy with everything. It is not easy. But he was all time happy with his Lord, Allāh, his Creator. And he was not complaining for anything, for dunyā, for health, for tired. Never. All time he was accepting because he know he's in Divine Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And he is not saying from his strong belief. He is happy - "This coming from my Lord. So it is good for me." Never complaining.
And he every time telling people to be accept what coming from Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Many times people they coming, saying something and he give them advice to be patient, to be accepting - "Don't object for this". Even for people, he never was quarrelling with other people. For people also give advice to not be quarrelling, to not be fighting with people for dunyā. Many times people coming, complaining for dunyā. He said "This man he take my thing... They take my business. He take..." Many times we see. "Leave this for him" he said. He's coming to say maybe he'll be make du‘ā’ for me to take again. No. He said "Leave it." And after it will be good for these who are listening. And who are not listening, many times we see there was happening very bad thing for them. So if they were listening and leaving what they want for their ego, for the thing for themselves, it will be better to leave it. Because Mawlānā he knows this dunyā not good, especially, when fighting on thing for benefit of this dunyā.
He was, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, like university, teaching everything, and especially to be strong belief, to know everything coming from Allāh and accept and to be happy. This is, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we see him, he is Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. If you see one walī - people they are searching for seeing Awliyā’u Llāh - one walī. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we were with Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. So he was teaching us and he learned this from his Shaykh. And his Shaykh learned from his Shaykh until Prophet (saw). All same like Prophet (saw). We have been like in presence of Prophet (saw) with this nice attribute and nice teaching. And so, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are asking Allāh to help us to be in same way what they teach us, to all these our people to be, get benefit from him al-ḥamdu liLlāh. Because he is real Sulṭān, he never leave us. Each everywhere in this world he can reach and help, in shā’a Llāh.

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.

Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created us in the most beautiful shape. This is the outward shape, we should be beautiful inside also. So, in order to be beautiful inside we have to listen to what Allāh (jj) sent, what the Prophet (saw) said. We have to do what he told us. Because Islām is built on good manners - good behaviour is good manners. Our Prophet (saw) said; "innamā bu‘ithtu li’utammima makārimu l-akhlāq". "Allāh (jj) sent me to teach you good manners. I teach you good manners." Allāh sent me to teach how to deal with people, to communicate with people. That is Islām. Ṭarīqah shows and teaches Islām. "Innamā ṭ-ṭarīqatu adab" he says. The main target of ṭarīqah is to teach good manners.
What is good manners? To show respect; to have mercy for Allāh's creation; to show respect to people, who Allāh raised their levels. The one whom we should love and respect the most is our Prophet (saw) because our Prophet (saw) says: "You should love me more than your children, your family." Whoever loves like this, they'll have īmān. If they don't love like that they are normal Muslims. There is a huge difference between someone with strong īmān and a Muslim. They say: "This rich man owns half of this country. Another man is begging. The difference is as big as this. The Muslim is starving to death. Allāh gave all the blessings to the other. But it is different in this world. Even if he works in this world, he may not gain anything. He may stay poor all his life. He can't be rich even if he wants. But if you work for the hereafter you'll have īmān, you'll reach the highest levels, you'll be like a rich man. Allāh (jj) opened the way. "Whoever wants may do" He (jj) says.
There is "aḍ‘afi l-īmān". Aḍ‘afi l-īmān means the weakest faith, you only say "Lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadun RasūluLlāh". You'll be a Muslim, ok. But this is the poorest Muslim. You pray, fast, give charity, make ḥajj so that you'll be richer. These gradually raise your levels. The more your level raises, the stronger your īmān gets. It gets stronger as you do what Allāh orders. But there is a point here. The most important thing is good manners. Without good manners, all is useless. Good manners is to honor, love and respect the Prophet (saw). It is to believe that he is our intercessor and we'll be saved from hell for his (saw) honour on the Day of Judgement. Otherwise if you don't respect him, no matter
how much you worship Allāh (jj), your worship is incomplete. You don't respect the one, whom Allāh (jj) loved and raised. Allāh (jj) won't respect you.
People are all on the same level. Then some people rise more, some go down more. People, who rise are the ones, who respect and honor Allāh's (jj) beloved servants. Because Allāh (awj) raises whoever He (jj) wants. Also in this world, people aren't blind. There are poor, rich, hungry, full, black, white, Allāh (jj) created as He liked. You can't ask Allāh (jj) "Why You made this one higher?" No, that is not good manners. Ṭarīqah prohibits that. Some unbelievers say that also. Some religious people, some Muslims also ask this. Tempted by shayṭān, they relate others' words so their levels go down more. Like we said, in order to be raised we have to respect the saints, prophets, the companions, the family of the Prophet and say; "They are Allāh's (jj) favors to us. Because when the saints are among us, Allāh (jj) has mercy on us for their sake. Allāh (jj) gives us our rizq, makes it rain. This is the ḥadith of our Prophet (saw) - bihim tumṭarūn bihim turzaqūn - Allāh (jj) gives your rizq for their sake, makes it rain for their sake. Without them, not even one drop of rain would fall on this world with all its corruption.
So, may their blessings be upon us. In shā’a Llāh, we'll have their love inside us, in shā’a Llāh.
We are al-ḥamduliLlāh, Allāh create us highest level and the best shape for human being. And He make some of them more perfect. And they are beloved for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. These people, we must love them. With these... Because they are mercy from Allāh sent them to us to teach us how to live. Because all human beings, Allāh create them same. And they are only by following what Allāh ordered, some of them getting higher, some of them getting lower. And this is Prophet (saw) he is teaching us. And he the best teaching. Allāh teach him to be good behavior, the best one. And he (sas) said "Allāh sent me to teach you good behavior, to be good human being, to be good for everything, for everybody." And Allāh teach him and He make him the best. And he is the most beloved for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And he teach us.
In Islām everything following Prophet (saw), his teaching, his acting, what he is doing. And he was the most polite, the most merciful and the most wisdom. He has everything, Allāh give him the best. So he teach us to be good behaved. Ṭarīqah also, this is teaching of ṭarīqah - not to be tough, not to be oppressor, not to be not respect. We must respect. We must respect, the first, Prophet (saw). Because many people, they are not respect him. Because they said "He is like us and no need to respect" about Prophet (saw) and this people they saying only following Qur'ān and hadīth. And Prophet (saw) he said many times "You must love me more than yourself, more than your children, more than your father, mother." This is what Prophet order: to love Prophet (saw). And only it is love he wants. Love what meaning? Respect. It is not difficult. But they are making so difficult.
And they are making people to suspect if we respect Prophet (saw), if we are in wrong way, maybe we are mushrik.
Many ignorant people following these people. But Islām, no. It is respect. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He make as He wish - some people lower, some people higher. And to be Muslim, it's ok, the first step But you can go higher - to be mu’min, real believer. Believer, mu’min means believer. It is higher than Muslim. Muslim who are saying lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammad Rasūlu Llāh. It is first level. It is ok. But he is like poor in this... If we make it example, like beggar, first .
He don't have anything, he's hungry, he's no nothing, no home. Only begging from people. And there is the very rich people - these like believer because they have. But in dunyā who is beggar, he like to be rich one. If he tries, many million they are not become rich. Whole life becoming beggar and finish. Die, going like this. This for dunyā, for this world. But for ākhirah, if he is like the first step, he want to be more, Allāh He open everything for him. It's open. He can quickly to finish from this the lowest level. You can pray, going higher. Fasting, going higher. Giving zakāt, going higher. Going to ḥajj, higher and higher like this and making charity, making love of Prophet and making ṣalawāt, everything. Praying more, reading Qur'ān more. This is going higher and higher. This open for you.
So it is no need to be in lowest. Allāh open for us and He saying making level. But you must all you do this. Beside this, the very important thing to not be saying "I am doing this, No need for Prophet (saw)." No. Beside this, the most important thing to be respect Prophet (saw) and to believe in his shafā‘ah. By his mercy we can go to paradise. If we don't do this, this all what we've done - nothing. Because Allāh order us to pray on Prophet (saw), to respect him and to accept him, all to be as in his grave he is alive, not dead. Who is saying he's dead, he is dead man. Prophet (saw) alive. "I am - "Ana ḥayyun urzaq" I am alive. I am getting everything here" Prophet (saw). Even shahīd they are ḥayyun yurzaq. How for Prophet (saw)? And these people, they cheating many people. All around the world they are cheated by these people.
So to be respect, it is real the most important thing - for Prophet (saw), for his ṣaḥābah, for his ahlu l-bayt, for Awliyā’u Llāh. Because they are in e
