212. LOVE TOWARDS OUR HOLY PROPHET (SAW) IS A MUST Monday, November 21, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) is the human that needs to be loved most, felt affection to most, and respected most in the world. This, Shaitan and his helpers cannot stand, cannot tolerate. Half of the world has become so. Muslims have gone astray.
Thank Allah this place belongs to the Ottomans, our ancestors. The caliph1 is still here, the Ottomans are here. Outside, the Wahhabi-Salafi faction is like a cancer, they have taken over half of Islam and are spreading still. So much calamity has befallen them and still they are not getting their act together, they are not coming round. They have become prisoners of Shaitan. Nothing is of use if the love of our Holy Prophet (SAW) is not present.
There are some schools here too. People send their children because they are religious schools, but they do not esteem our Holy Prophet (SAW) much either. Allah protects them Inshallah. None of our worship is useful and our hereafter is in danger if there is no love of the Prophet. Nobody can enter paradise with their own actions. We need Allah’s mercy and our Prophet’s intercession1. This is important. Hazrat Shaykh Mawlana (QS) would call them, “Squareheads, fools!” Because they have no minds. It is better for a person who studies and does not understand not to study. Or instead of reading thousands of books, it is more useful to read little yet things one understands. Some people have the capacity and they can read and understand thosands of books, but some do not even understand two lines.
Therefore it is better, according to capacity, for a person to understand even if only two lines. Even if little, once you understand this is also knowledge. Of course, it is better for a person to say, “My capacity is two lines. Let me understand this and know the value of our Holy Prophet (SAW),” is better than reading a thousand books, not understanding, and going astray.
Some people can read the Koran and go astray. When people follow their own ego, they can go astray even if they read the Koran. So there is no such thing as the Koran is absolutely my lead, my guide. You can go astray even by reading the Koran without the love of our Holy Prophet (SAW), without having respect towards our Holy Prophet (SAW). May Allah keep us safe. May Allah give these people guidance, and us as well. May we not go astray Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

213.SALVATION IS IN TELLING THE TRUTH Tuesday, November 22, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
They continue thinking they will gain from what they are doing. The worst is lying. We do not know for sure whether it is a hadith or a saying, “An-najatu fissidq.” So it says “Salvation is in telling the truth”.
Some people think they will be saved if they lie. However, other lies follow the lie and, “The lier’s candle lights till Isha,” it is said. It definitely comes out. If not today then tomorrow, and if not that day it will certainly come out one day.
Therefore, lying is not useful. You might think you can lie and get away with it. You might fool Hajji Mehmet, Hajji Hasan, and Hussain but Allah Azza wa Jalla will question it in the hereafter. According to the harm done, the person will regret it saying, “I wish I had not lied.”
Salvation is in saying the truth both in the hereafter and in the world. Most people think lying is a small thing, namely a normal thing. Becuase it is End Times, everything and every evil is met as normal, and every good is considered stupidity. When in fact it is the absolute opposite, you are fooling yourself by yourself, and harming yourself with lies.
People have gotten very used to lying. Let us be careful of this as much as possible. Of course, people have gotten used to something and might not be able to leave it immediately. But they should still make an effort to reduce it. Let them think about this advice and say the truth as it comes to mind Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
214.VISITING THE ELDERS OF ISLAM Thursday, November 24, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla loves believers1, and he wants His mumin servants to love each other. How do we love? By paying respects, by finding good people and visiting them. Thank Allah, it is a beautiful thing to love those whom Shaykh Mawlana (QS) loved. So we need to love whomever he loved and follow their way. This is good upbringing2 and manners3.
Thank Allah when Shaykh Mawlana (QS) was alive he told us, “Visit Hazrat Mahmood Efendi.” Since then it was kismet just now and we visited him yesterday thank Allah. The holy one is in a state of continuous connection4 with Allah. May Allah increase the station5 of the holy one and give him a good long life Inshallah. There is need for such people. He has served much. He has been a means for guiding thousands, tens of thousands of people.
We went to a couple of more places. They are Shaykh Mawlana’s old friends, old buddies. They have not changed at all. The world has changed but these people, however they were 40 or 50 years ago, they continue without changing at all Mashallah. No matter what has happened and how much has changed, their being on the true path and not changing is a very good example [to follow].
We visited Mehmet Shevket Eygi Efendi. He is a very old friend of Shaykh Mawlana (QS). For almost 50 years time, ever since the beginning, he was a friend of Shaykh Mawlana. He continues his respects now in the same way. We need to benefit from his knowledge, but people do not agree much with such people. Why? Because they say the truth and show the path the ego does not like. Therefore, they start objecting before he opens his mouth.
People such as these have so many years of knowledge, experience, and a light Allah has given. Everyone does not have it. It is from manners, whether you like it or not, to listen and get an opinion. Immediately objecting is the work of Shaitan. Shaitan immediately objected to Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Therefore, do not be like Shaitan! Look to it that you take advantage of these people’s knowledge. It is possible, it might not fit your ego, but break your ego and wait. Think, “What wisdom is behind this? Why did he say so? For sure there is great benefit in this for us.” A person who does not want the benefit cannot find the benefit. There is diamond amongst stones and you can find it if you search for it. But if you leave it thinking they are all stones, it would be to your harm and you would not benefit.
May Allah give a long life to these valuable people Inshallah and may their services be continuous. Shaitan deviates many people from the path today. Few people like this are left. May Allah give them a long life and may they train beneficial people. Just like there are lots of bad people, may good people be plenty as well. May they be victorious over them Inshallah.
This is our prayer. It is End Times. Of course there is more depravement. No matter how much you try, again Shaitan’s supporters are many. May Allah keep us safe from them. May their evil be on themselves. May Allah give these people a long life Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

215.ADAB AND TRUE KNOWLEDGE Friday, November 25, 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, as we said, is adab, manners. What is meant by adab is the collection of manners. In the past when somebody, a holy one, said something, nobody would say a word and most people would accept. The one who did not accept would not express his rejection thinking, “Certainly there is a wisdom I do not understand in these words. These people do not speak empty words.” Following the shutting down of tariqas, the world around filled with bad manners. It is filled with all kinds of bad manners, especially amongst people claiming to be Muslim. It increased after this Wahhabi dissension1.
The people of tariqa reach our Holy Prophet (SAW), from one shaykh to another it reaches our Holy Prophet (SAW). The words they speak are wise and beautiful. Their words become light for people. It lights their hearts, and it lights their insides and their faces. It gives people relief, it gives happiness, and it gives tranquility. When Shaitan looks at them and sees they are happy, Shaitan is not happy with this.
For now people are crazy over brand names and do not wear anything but brand names. Taking advantage of this, some people copy them and make them for a lira. The original is made for a lira too: they stick the brand name on it and sell it for a hundred anyway. The copiers sell it for 10 or 20 liras and these folk buy it in a mad scramble. Now, these Shaitan‟s men, people who did not reach Hazrat Prophet (SAW), it is of no use no matter how much knowledge they have. Knowledge is a useless thing when it does not meet truth. They buy it and discard it as it breaks after one use.
One time a similar thing happened to us. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) used to love drilling wells and supplying water. He would do this as charity for people. We drilled a well in Cyprus and bought a motor called a submersible motor. This motor was almost as tall as us, about one and a half meter long, made of stainless steel, and it shined and glittered. We went up the mountain with Shaykh Mawlana, they suspended it down in the well, and it worked one time. “Look, it turned out to be good. It shot the water all the way up,” we said. 1. Fitna Then on the second day we went back saying, “Let us go out and try it one more time. Let us see if more comes up.” They placed it again, suspended it in the well, and it is not
working. “I wonder what happened?” we asked. Do this and do that, there is an electrician and a mechanic, but it just did not work. They kept on staring as everything is alright, but nobody thought it would be broken. We realized it was done for, it was for one-time use. The durable one was almost four times as expensive. This one worked one time but the genuine one would go on for years, it would continuously provide water and be useful.
There, what we are explaining is Shaitan‟s shaykhs, rather not shaykh as they do not call themselves shaykh. They call themselves alim, hodja, „allama, professor, and doctor. If only they were not doctors of religion but normal doctors. Then they would be of some use. These ones called doctors of religion do not understand anything about religion, but when it comes to misleading people they do mislead. They verbally attack shaykhs and they verbally attack tariqas thinking it will be useful.
It is the wisdom of Allah (JJ) that Allah protects his awliya, and makes servile2 those who verbally attack them. Nobody respects nor loves them. The three or five people who follow them are people like them. They do not give anything to people. As we said, they have a one-shot deal in their hand. They think the whole nation will follow them with it getting up and down.
Nobody can be a hindrance once Allah wills. Whoever Allah helps, nobody can beat and nobody can make them servile. Nobody can make servile whom Allah has made mighty3. Whoever Allah has made servile, nobody can raise and they cannot become mighty. People who follow their own ego fool themselves. Shaitan fools them, flatters them, and they continue on that way. Their path is a path that ends in frustration4, and they are regretful in the hereafter.
When a person said a word, as we said, people would listen in the past and would take it if it was useful. People these days object to everybody when they hear a word. “What kind of a person is this person? How long has he been on this way? How old is he? He has been of service and useful to these people for so long. Did he say a good thing or a bad thing?” Without ever considering these, they start addressing that person inappropriately saying shameless words.
Our tariqa is based on manners. We will respect those who respect our Prophet (SAW). We will respect those who respect his family and companions. We will respect those who respect the sahabis. This is our way. 2. Zalil 3. Aziz 4. Khusran
There is permission that time to reply to those who go out of these ways and speak nonsense. However, if you go ahead and verbally attack the holy ones, verbally attack the mashayikh, and verbally attack tariqas and keep talking, Allah would slap you in
such a way that you would not know where it came from! Then you would keep thinking, “How did such a thing befall us?”
The Hadith Qudsi says: “Whoever verbally attacks My awliya, My beloved, or makes animosity towards them, then I make animosity towards him.” These are important words. This is why the awliya and the holy ones do not care, because their faith is strong. They do not deal with no court nor anything else and refer it to Allah. Allah (JJ) is “Ni‟mal mawla wa ni‟man naseer”. He is the best master, the best protector, and He is the one who emerges victorious. People under His protection do not fear anything and they do not care about anything. If you will, the whole world can weigh against them, but as long as Allah is with them, since there is that iman, it is enough for them. May Allah grant all of us that iman Inshallah. May Allah also give these people sense and mind. Being a person of good morals is the most important thing. It is the way taught by our Holy Prophet (SAW).
“I have been sent to complete beautiful morals,” he says. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “I was sent to teach good habits and manners.” Let us go on his path Inshallah.

216.CHOOSE THE EASIER PATH Friday, November 25, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) states: “Our path is the right path. Take the easier one on the right path.” Most issues have a couple of paths, or the path is the same but there are a couple of choices. “Choose the easy path,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). Do not go for the difficult, let it be easy, and do it easily. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) himself used to do it so to be an example for His Nation1.
This is not a hard path. The path of Islam fits human nature. It fits and is compatible with Allah’s creation. If you are to follow another religion, it does not fit human nature. The one that fits human nature is the religion of Islam. It is easy for humans. Islam is normally easy but the ego and Shaitan show it hard. Therefore, “Choose the easy option,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW).
The way shown by our Shaykh Mawlana (QS) is also an ease. People should do however much they have the power to do. What is important is for people to believe in Allah (JJ) and love our Prophet (SAW). To do as much as you can is better than not doing at all. As faith increases, gradually actions also increase. With time, they perform prayers completely and give more obligatory alms2 and charity3. They would improve like this slowly, but if you tell them to do everything all at once they would leave it and run away.
Therefore, choose the easier, choose the things you can continue, and do not take the extra burden you cannot carry. There, this is also the beautiful path and ease shown by our Holy Prophet (SAW). Our Holy Prophet (SAW) advices like this out of mercy for His Ummat. Whatever you do, do it making sure you ask for Allah’s content. Allah would help us on this path, and He gives us a burden according to our strength, however much we can handle.
اع اها وس
سا ِّإ هَل
هَّللُ ْف ف ا
َل يُ اك ِّل’
He sasy, “La yukallif ullahu nafsan illa wus’aha.” (Sura Baqara:286) “Allah does not charge a person except with that within its capacity.” Therefore, our Holy Prophet (SAW) saw as as weak. We cannot be proud of our worship no matter how much it is. Our
worship is nothing even if we worship for a thousand years. Rather than trusting in it and being arrogant, it is better to do the smallest, easiest thing. May Allah not misguide us from the right path and grant us the intercession of our Holy Prophet (SAW) Inshallah.

217.KNOWLEDGE THAT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD GIVES NO BENEFIT Saturday, November 26, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Master states, “Kallimun nasa „ala qadari „uqoolihim.” “Speak to people according to how much they can understand.” Everybody understands different things. You would explain different things to an ignorant person. They will not understand anything and will fall asleep if you go ahead and explain like they are university students or educated. Explain it in a way they will understand so it would be useful for them and you will not be talking for nothing.
Some people do not know and the intelligence of the speaker is the same as theirs: “Let me speak and show them,” they think. Talk without soul and meaning is useless. However, if you know what will benefit people, accordingly there is something people can learn. But if you talk very big things, people would neither understand nor learn and it would not benefit them.
Therefore, those of old said, “Likulli maqamin maqaal.” “There are words to be spoken for each assembly,” but it is appropraite to speak it there. If you speak something else it would not be of any use. Therefore, to introduce Allah to people you need to say a word in a way they can understand so they can also learn little by little.
This is knowledge, and it is an obligation for everyone to learn knowledge. It would be useful for both themselves and for the one who teaches. There is a huge virtue for the one who teaches too. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) has said:
“Khayrukum man ta‟allamal qurana wa „allamah.” The best of you are those who teach the word of Allah, the Koran, and those who learn it. The best of people are also those who teach the word of our Holy Prophet (SAW).
Accordingly, we need to think wisely, “How much can this one learn?” In some schools of today classes are taught: if the child learns that in one year that child would be like
studying at university. However, they place it there just to teach it, and neither the students learn nor their teacher is of any use.
May Allah firstly give these people wisdom1. What we mean by hikmat is a great thing and not everyone has it. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Whomever I give hikmat they have gained a great fortune.” May Allah grant us from those wisdoms too Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
218.HAZRAT SULTAN ALPARSLAN Sunday, November 27, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
We should not talk big and brag according to Islamic manners and tariqa manners. If Allah has given you a quality, you should not think it is from yourself but continuously think it is from Allah. Because Allah Azza wa Jalla created everybody the same and sometimes He gives whomever He wishes good things as a test. That is also a test. A test is not only doing something hard and enduring it. Sometimes good things are given as a test and if you go ahead and say, “Me, it is I,” you would be failing the test.
However many leaders and pious ones came as a leader to this Nation1 since our Holy Prophet (SAW), those who were on the path of truth always knew this and acted upon these words. However, those like Pharaoh and like Nimrod who went astray came out saying, “It is I,” and kept on grumbling. It was of no use for themselves or for others either.
عل´ى ا ˚ل ´كاف¸ ¸ري ´ن
˚ؤ ¸م ¸ني ´ن أ´ ¸ع َّزة„ عل´ى ا ˚ل ˚م
أ´ ¸ذلَّ „ة
“Athillatin „alal mu‟mineena a‟izzatin „alal kafireen.” (Sura Ma‟ida:54) “They are humble toward the believers and powerful and honorable against the disbelievers.” They can do this against infidels2. Because they are on Allah‟s true path they can talk against them, but they can never do it against Muslims. They would treat Muslims gently as if saying, “We are alike.” Many great sultans and many great commanders came. Yesterday we read about Hazrat Sultan Alparslan somewhere. His real name is Muhammed Alparslan. We all know him, but where do we know him from? The fatih3 of Anatolia, he was victorious at the Battle of Malazgirt, he conquered Anatolia and opened Anatolia to Islam. He was a great commander and a great sultan, but he was also a very humble and pious person. “The wars we wage are for the sake of Allah, to raise the word of Allah,” he said. “We are waging these wars to cleanse innovation and heresy,” he said.
There were plenty of esoteric4, nonsensical factions back then too. Following that battle, he went to war eastward to what is called Transoxania5, Turkestan, Turkmenistan,
meaning to gather Central Asia under one flag, cleanse however many evil factions there were, and to establish one true clean Islamic state.
Marching forward, he went on opening for Islam. He had soldiers like the sea, like the ocean: soldiers on horseback and on foot. He came to a place on the border of Amu Darya (Jayhun). There was a castle on the side. He besieged it. The commander of the castle was someone from the corrupt faction. It might be a guy called Yusuf Harzemi. The traitorous guy said, “I surrender. Let me go next to the sultan.” He was thinking to kill the sultan when he came next to him. When he came next to the sultan he immediately applied his evil idea, he attacked the sultan and injured him. And the sultan was martyred four days later.
Before he became a martyr he is reported to have said, “[Once], I climbed on top of a hill and I saw all the soldiers: like a sea. „Who can stand in front of us?‟ I grumbled to myself. But Allah inflicted on me this weak servant of His. He became the reason for my death. I repent to Allah for thinking that, I ask Allah for forgiveness. I also ask Him forgiveness for the sins I have commited,” and he became a martyr as such.
So these people, sultans such as these, served Islam for 1000 years. Our sultans served Islam for the true path. He said these beautiful words as soon as he understood his mistake so it would be a lesson for people after his death. May Allah have mercy on him. May Allah grant us all these beautiful morals and manners Inshallah
We are not like mushrooms.6 Our ancestors showed us this beautiful way. They were not of those who talk but do not act. If they said it they would certainly act on it. They did not have things like, “You do it like this but I will not do it.” They showed the beautiful way for people by doing it themselves first.
This is not a simple matter. It is not a simple matter to protect the right way, the true way, for so many centuries, for more than a thousand years. The state that is a haven for all the oppressed and for all people is the state of Islam. They did these and they protected it. May Allah be content with them all. May their stations be high Inshallah.

219. A MUSLIM DOES NOT HOLD A GRUDGE Monday, November 28, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
A Muslim does not hold a grudge. Grudge is a attribute of people who are not on the right path. Holding a grudge is a attribute of unbelief1. They continuously hold a grudge. It is one of the qualities of Shaitan: he has been holding a grudge since Adam Alayhis Salam and he makes those who follow him hold a grudge. Against whom? Against Muslims, those on the path of Allah.
Whoever holds a grudge like that and keeps grudge in their heart against Muslims, their faith is incomplete and weak. Grudge causes heaviness and gives people uneasiness. It harms the persons themselves first. People should first have affection2 towards Allah Azza wa Jalla and then for Hazrat Prophet (SAW). Allah Azza wa Jalla commands to have affection towards all the prophets, saints3, companions4, and believers5.
Grudge and affection cannot come together. Therefore it is Shaitan’s attribute, it is kufr’s attribute. A Muslim cannot have resentment towards another Muslim for more than three days. They should not stay so says our Holy Prophet (SAW). Staying with hard feelings means bearing a grudge. Muslims should bear affection towards each other.
You might have fury towards the other person, then you can feel rancor in your heart. However, once that person comes to the right path that rancor should go away. So there is no such things as keeping rancor in your heart once that person is a Muslim. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) even forgave Wahshi who martyred Hazrat Hamza after he became Muslim. He did not punish him or anything because punishing is from holding a grudge.
All evils are cleaned when one becomes Muslim. You can have rancor against kufr and this is different than grudge. Rancor is one thing and grudge is another. We need to have rancor towards things Allah does not like. But there is no such thing as a grudge not going away even when the other is a Muslim. It is the same way in the Islamic world. Faith is not complete for people who hold a grudge towards others, towards the sahaba, and towards the Ahl-e Bayt. We do not need to follow them.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says it openly: “Whatever was done before, Islam forgives it all. Once the person is Islam, all of it would be forgiven and the person would be like a new-born.” We need to implement Allah’s commands and we need to follow Him, not the ideas people have in their own heads. May Allah resurrect us all with a clean heart on the Day of Judgment Inshallah.

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.
Allah Azza wa Jalla states: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim َ
˚ي ´ن ˚ك ˚م
ض ´ل
˚وا ا ˚لف´ س
و ´ل ت´ ˚ن
“Wala tansawul fadla bainakum.” (Sura Baqra:237) “Do not forget the good done unto you, do not forget graciousness between you!” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. Meaning not the good you do to others, but do not forget the good others do unto you. People of today only remember the good they do unto others and forget the good others do unto them. They do not remember it. They only remember the evil or harm that might have come from others. They constantly remember it but forget the good. This is not a good attribute. Allah Azza wa Jalla states: “Do not forget the good done!”
Shaykh Mawlana (QS) would remember the smallest good done even if twenty years had passed. We witnessed so many times this beautiful attribute of Shaykh Mawlana’s and his saying, “Ya Hu, this man offered us tea. He offered us something before.” He would never talk about the bad, but only spoke about how people did good. He would even remember the things from his childhood and tell us about whoever did good.
Therefore, this is a good moral, it is the moral of the Prophet, and a good habit Allah Azza wa Jalla speaks about. Do not forget the good done. Affection disappears, the love inside disappears, if the good is forgotten. Our ancestors have beautiful sayings too. It is said, “A cup of coffee is good for 40 years’ sake.” People of past would not forget the good done. Now, wherever there is evil, wherever there is mischief, everybody waits for it thinking, “Let this man do me evil so I can have a grudge and hatred against him.” May Allah give us all from those good habits 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.
70,000 troubles descend on this day. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) used to say, “Safar ulkhayr: may its good be unto us and its evil unto others.” It is said, “Shaitan deserves to be punished.” These troubles descend upon the people of unbelief and devils. It does not touch those who remember Allah, give their alms, and repent and ask forgiveness. Its good descends on them. To them the good in everything comes Allah willing.
Let us not forget three Kalima Shahada, 300 Astaghfirullah, and our alms today. Do not say, “Where am I to find a poor person this early in the morning?” Place your alms aside, place it in an envelope or a box – place it wherever you want – do not touch it and give it when you find a poor person. This is also accepted. Once you reserve it with the intention of almsgiving, there is no such thing as necessarily finding a poor person to give it at the same time. You can give it when you find one, but reserve your alms that day.
It is the wisdom of Allah normally, most of the time, the month of Safar is 29 days. We are witnessing it being 30 days for the first time in a long time. It means there is wisdom in this too. Inshallah the good of the month of Safar is for us. And may these troubles come back as oppression to those who rebel against Allah, who tyrannize people, who rain bombs on the destitute, and who kill people without pity.
They are raining fire and bombs on oppressed people continually day and night. They do not fear Allah and are not ashamed of people. Allah exists and Allah has His scourges. If He ever afflicts it nobody can save them. May Allah help us. May the good of the month of Safar be unto us and its evil be unto those tyrants Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
222.OUR MASTER (SAW) IS OUR GREATEST BLESSING Hazrat Thursday, December 1, 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.
Thank Allah the month of Safar passed safely Inshallah. This month is the month of our Holy Prophet (SAW), Rabiul Awwal, the month of Mawlid1. The night of Mawlid, as Hazrat Sulaiman Chelebi says, is as valuable a night as Laylatul Qadr2. It is holy. Those who honor and show our Holy Prophet (SAW) love during this month gain great rewards in the sight of Allah. We need to thank Allah that we are from the Nation of our Holy Prophet (SAW). It is a great blessing but people do not know the value of this blessing. Whereas even the prophets before our Holy Prophet (SAW) would pray to Allah to be from his Ummat. We have been greatly favored, we have become a nation of a beautiful prophet, and we have become a nation of Allah’s beloved Prophet. This needs to be a great joy for us.
Starting with 100 salawat a day, do as many as you can as an honor in the month of Rabiul Awwal. You can also organize a Mawlid for the birth of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Give the things you give as a gift to him. Saying, “For his glory and honor we are giving these alms, doing these worships, and getting along well with people,” however much good there is do more of it during this month in honor of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Our Holy Prophet (SAW) is a great blessing for us. Honoring our Holy Prophet (SAW) is a command next to Allah. Allah (JJ) says, “Honor the Prophet. Confer salat and salam upon him. I and the angels confer blessing and peace upon him.” Allah Azza wa Jalla has ordered this and people who have believed need to follow it. Even though it is written in the Koran, Shaitan has mislead so many people through various ways. The dignity of those people would be gone. Those who do not honor our Holy Prophet (SAW) have no honor, have no value. People who have no value in the sight of Allah have no value next to people either. May Allah (JJ) increase our love for our Holy Prophet (SAW). The more we love him the better it is for us. This is the summary of the matter Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

223.TYRANNY DOES NOT LAST LONG Friday, December 2, 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.
“Azzulmu la yadoom.” It says, “Tyranny does not last.” Meaning a person cannot endure with tyranny and last forever. For sure he has a time. The one who tyranizes will also disappear Allah willing. This is the command of Allah.
Therefore, nobody could rule long with tyranny. Those who reigned with justice and mercy were the Ottomans. The Ottomans reigned for nearly 700 years. People need to see this. However, Shaitan made people blind and deaf. They do not hear, they do not listen. They think they will go on forever with this tyranny. The life of a person cannot even pass a 100 years anyway. If you tyrannize, you will definitely pay for it in the hereafter. Even the tongueless animals will get retribution for the injustice they inflict on each other. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says: “When a hornless sheep is rammed by a horned sheep, Allah will give that one horns to ram the other in order for justice to be served in the hereafter.”
So surely whatever oppression or the like was done, they will be answered for in the hereafter. The rights of Allah are separate and Allah forgives His rights, but as long as the oppressed person does not forgive, the one who oppresses will certainly serve a sentence. That person is already uneasy in the world, the things he does are useless, and he will be worse off in the hereafter. In the hereafter, he will be sorry when he answers for it and suffers his punishment, but being sorry will be of no use. Whoever he tyrannized in this world, he needs to repent, ask the person for forgiveness, and not leave it for the hereafter. There is a hereafter. People with faith believe in Allah and believe in the hereafter. This is important. People act accordingly and live like humans accordingly. A person should not oppress and should follow the commands of Allah. A human needs to be merciful. May Allah grant us all mercy and not remove mercy from our hearts. When He removes mercy, he becomes not human but a wild creature. We cannot call him an animal anymore. He is a creature now. Allah forbid.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
224.THE EGO IS UNTAMED Sunday, December 4, 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.
Allah Azza wa Jalla created the human ego untamed, wild. It needs to be tamed. What is meant by taming is adab, it needs to learn good manners. The ego can only come round through manners, otherwise it is wild and untamed. It does not want anyone but itself and does not get along with anyone.
“Al-mu’minu yu’laf,” is the hadith of our Holy Prophet (SAW), “yu’laf wa ya’laf.” Meaning finished with wildness and getting along well with people. “People also get along well with him,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). A believer, a Muslim, is a person who does not cause shemozzle and one who always gets along well with family and others outside.
However, the more they are far from this faith, the more they are difficult to get along with. They would not be able to get along with people, with family, with relatives, and with neighbors. Everybody would say, “This man is a bad-tempered man.” Why? Because he has followed his ego and gone wild. The ego is already untamed but people who have not been able to tame their ego cannot get along with people and people would not like them. And they would not love them. They only love themselves.
May Allah save us from this wildness and grant us to be more sweet-tempered Inshallah. May we be amongst those servants whom Allah loves and Hazrat Prophet (SAW) loves Inshallah.

225.MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR WITH TAKBIRS Monday, December 5, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
The enemy of humans from all eternity, ever since we have been created, is Shaitan. Shaitan made supporters for himself. They are all at once the enemies of Muslims and the enemies of Islam.
There are attacks from all sides because it is End Times now. They are trying to finish Islam from all sides. No Zoroastrian, no Hindu, no disbeliever, and no Buddhist is left out. They are attacking and trying all the way to finish Islam. A Muslim should not lose hope from Allah.
ر ْح ام ِّة ا ه َِّّلل
طوا من
َل تا ْقنا
“Laa taqnatu mir rahmatillah.” (Sura Zumar:53) “Do not despair from the mercy of Allah.” Allah helps. They have weapons and everything. People who are afraid of their weapons have weak faith. Our greatest weapon is iman, our belief in Allah. When we believe in Him, nothing can defeat Islam. Allah willing Islam will emerge victorious in the end, the whole world will become Muslim, and Mahdi Alayhis Salam will come out.
Some of our people do not accept Mahdi Alayhis Salam. There are educated, supposedly scholarly people who say, “There is no such thing!” Whereas there are authentic hadiths of our Holy Prophet (SAW) regarding the appearance of Mahdi Alayhis Salam. Believing in him is the belief and creed of our Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat. Those who do not accept this are considered outside of the sphere of Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat. Once there is iman no weapon can stand in our way Allah willing. What is important is us having a strong faith. People pretending to be scholars are trying to destroy us from within. They are more dangerous and we need to be careful of them.
It is obvious, Mahdi Alayhis Salam will come out making takbir and everybody will hear it. One cannot be Mahdi with the dissension and mischief of the likes of today. Mahdi is the lion of Allah and when he appears he will say, “I am here!” That time the whole world will become Muslim. Mahdi (AS) will destroy disbelief and will be victorious over kufr Inshallah. May Allah make it happen as soon as possible
Inshallah. It is End Times. Its signs appear plenty. Inshallah he comes out. It is possible for him to appear soon.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
226.WE DOT NOT APPROVE OF THAT WHICH IS NOT GOOD Tuesday, December 6, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are beautiful things Allah has commanded and things He forbid which are not good. If you see good Alhamdulillah1, but all over there are things Allah has forbid or which are not good. When a person sees them:
اللهم إن هذا منكر ل نرضا به
ا “Allahumma inna hatha munkarun la narda bih,” should be said. Meaning, “This is denied and we do not approve of it.” Because when you approve of that which is which is not good (denied), wherever it is happening you would be like doing it too. Even if not to that extent, we need to not approve of that which is not good so Allah’s wrath would not come to that country. When you see such a thing, even if from within, you should say, “This is munkar. We dot not approve of this.” Why is he saying this? So it does not become a habit. It means saying, “This is bad but whatever, it is alright,” no, it is not alright. We need to say, “This is denied and we do not approve of it. It is happening but we do not approve of it. We are innocent, we do not accept it, and we do not acknowledge it.” We need to continuously say this or you should say it from inside so that the forbidden becomes clear that it is haram. The permissible (halal) and the forbidden (haram) should not go about mixing. When you see something bad, make sure you continuously keep repeating this inside. That time both Allah’s consent would be upon you, and you would know the forbidden and not forget it. May Allah save us from bad conditions and give guidance to those people who have fallen in those situations Inshallah. Not only people, but if you see a bad scene on the street - if you see alcohol bottles, if you see a statue or nonsensical portraits - you should not see them as normal but see them as bad and say, “We do not approve of them.”May Allah give guidance to these people too. May He also Inshallah give us an improved condition.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

227. THIS LIFE AND WORSHIP Wednesday, December 7, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Thank Allah, Allah has created us Muslim, because woe unto us if He had created us differently! A couple of words are enough to become Muslim. Once you say, “La Ilaha Illallah, Muhammadun Rasulullah,” you are Muslim. After that, whatever you want to do you need to strive and work for both in this world and the hereafter.
Now some people only want to work for the hereafter. That is also good, but the works of this world and looking after your family are also considered worship. Earning a living through the permissible1, looking after your family, and raising them as pious2 people is also a great worship.
Beside this, Allah Azza wa Jalla opened for us plenty of doors of the hereafter. There are beautiful things. Actually, there is not much bother in performing worship. Following morning prayer3 is the sunrise prayer4, and following that is the mid-morning prayer5. It does not even take 15 minutes if you pray them all.
There is the tasbih6 and it would be good if you are able to do it. Allah Azza wa Jalla placed them all in intervals. You can take care of your worldly affairs and build your hereafter. When they are done together, you are counted as being in a continuous state of worship. You would be counted as having worshipped throughout your life. You would gain in this world and you would gain in the hereafter.
So Allah Azza wa Jalla did not assign a burden people cannot bear. Some people keep saying, “Why are you praying so much?” Their problem is they are envious because they cannot do it. They think and say, “They do it. They are better than us,” then they say, “They are not doing right. We are better than them.” We should not listen to them. We need to caution them not to be lazy and to perform their prayers and worships.
The Son of Adam is so under the control of Shaitan that he runs around all day and does everything, but when it comes to prayer he says, “I cannot do it!” You say, “Start with two rakats,” and even that is difficult for the person. This laziness is from Shaitan. Not being lazy, being a diligent person, are the attributes of awliya6 and mumins7.
Their efforts are “The more we collect for the hereafter the more we would gain” since we are going to stay for a short while in this world. Just as a person hurries when trying to reach somewhere on time, they are like that. No matter how long this life might be, even if a 100 years, again it is considered as nothing. It is short.
People without faith are bored from an early age. Saying, “What are we going to do in this world?” these people who are faithless waste themselves, commit suicide, and do the sort. This arises from faithlessness. The person with faith, considers life short no

212. LOVE TOWARDS OUR HOLY PROPHET (SAW) IS A MUST Monday, November 21, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) is the human that needs to be loved most, felt affection to most, and respected most in the world. This, Shaitan and his helpers cannot stand, cannot tolerate. Half of the world has become so. Muslims have gone astray.
Thank Allah this place belongs to the Ottomans, our ancestors. The caliph1 is still here, the Ottomans are here. Outside, the Wahhabi-Salafi faction is like a cancer, they have taken over half of Islam and are spreading still. So much calamity has befallen them and still they are not getting their act together, they are not coming round. They have become prisoners of Shaitan. Nothing is of use if the love of our Holy Prophet (SAW) is not present.
There are some schools here too. People send their children because they are religious schools, but they do not esteem our Holy Prophet (SAW) much either. Allah protects them Inshallah. None of our worship is useful and our hereafter is in danger if there is no love of the Prophet. Nobody can enter paradise with their own actions. We need Allah’s mercy and our Prophet’s intercession1. This is important. Hazrat Shaykh Mawlana (QS) would call them, “Squareheads, fools!” Because they have no minds. It is better for a person who studies and does not understand not to study. Or instead of reading thousands of books, it is more useful to read little yet things one understands. Some people have the capacity and they can read and understand thosands of books, but some do not even understand two lines.
Therefore it is better, according to capacity, for a person to understand even if only two lines. Even if little, once you understand this is also knowledge. Of course, it is better for a person to say, “My capacity is two lines. Let me understand this and know the value of our Holy Prophet (SAW),” is better than reading a thousand books, not understanding, and going astray.
Some people can read the Koran and go astray. When people follow their own ego, they can go astray even if they read the Koran. So there is no such thing as the Koran is absolutely my lead, my guide. You can go astray even by reading the Koran without the love of our Holy Prophet (SAW), without having respect towards our Holy Prophet (SAW). May Allah keep us safe. May Allah give these people guidance, and us as well. May we not go astray Inshallah.

213.SALVATION IS IN TELLING THE TRUTH Tuesday, November 22, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
They continue thinking they will gain from what they are doing. The worst is lying. We do not know for sure whether it is a hadith or a saying, “An-najatu fissidq.” So it says “Salvation is in telling the truth”.
Some people think they will be saved if they lie. However, other lies follow the lie and, “The lier’s candle lights till Isha,” it is said. It definitely comes out. If not today then tomorrow, and if not that day it will certainly come out one day.
Therefore, lying is not useful. You might think you can lie and get away with it. You might fool Hajji Mehmet, Hajji Hasan, and Hussain but Allah Azza wa Jalla will question it in the hereafter. According to the harm done, the person will regret it saying, “I wish I had not lied.”
Salvation is in saying the truth both in the hereafter and in the world. Most people think lying is a small thing, namely a normal thing. Becuase it is End Times, everything and every evil is met as normal, and every good is considered stupidity. When in fact it is the absolute opposite, you are fooling yourself by yourself, and harming yourself with lies.
People have gotten very used to lying. Let us be careful of this as much as possible. Of course, people have gotten used to something and might not be able to leave it immediately. But they should still make an effort to reduce it. Let them think about this advice and say the truth as it comes to mind Inshallah.

214.VISITING THE ELDERS OF ISLAM Thursday, November 24, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla loves believers1, and he wants His mumin servants to love each other. How do we love? By paying respects, by finding good people and visiting them. Thank Allah, it is a beautiful thing to love those whom Shaykh Mawlana (QS) loved. So we need to love whomever he loved and follow their way. This is good upbringing2 and manners3.
Thank Allah when Shaykh Mawlana (QS) was alive he told us, “Visit Hazrat Mahmood Efendi.” Since then it was kismet just now and we visited him yesterday thank Allah. The holy one is in a state of continuous connection4 with Allah. May Allah increase the station5 of the holy one and give him a good long life Inshallah. There is need for such people. He has served much. He has been a means for guiding thousands, tens of thousands of people.
We went to a couple of more places. They are Shaykh Mawlana’s old friends, old buddies. They have not changed at all. The world has changed but these people, however they were 40 or 50 years ago, they continue without changing at all Mashallah. No matter what has happened and how much has changed, their being on the true path and not changing is a very good example [to follow].
We visited Mehmet Shevket Eygi Efendi. He is a very old friend of Shaykh Mawlana (QS). For almost 50 years time, ever since the beginning, he was a friend of Shaykh Mawlana. He continues his respects now in the same way. We need to benefit from his knowledge, but people do not agree much with such people. Why? Because they say the truth and show the path the ego does not like. Therefore, they start objecting before he opens his mouth.
People such as these have so many years of knowledge, experience, and a light Allah has given. Everyone does not have it. It is from manners, whether you like it or not, to listen and get an opinion. Immediately objecting is the work of Shaitan. Shaitan immediately objected to Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Therefore, do not be like Shaitan! Look to it that you take advantage of these people’s knowledge. It is possible, it might not fit your ego, but break your ego and wait. Think, “What wisdom is behind this? Why did he say so? For sure there is great benefit in this for us.” A person who does not want the benefit cannot find the benefit. There is diamond amongst stones and you can find it if you search for it. But if you leave it thinking they are all stones, it would be to your harm and you would not benefit.
May Allah give a long life to these valuable people Inshallah and may their services be continuous. Shaitan deviates many people from the path today. Few people like this are left. May Allah give them a long life and may they train beneficial people. Just like there are lots of bad people, may good people be plenty as well. May they be victorious over them Inshallah.
This is our prayer. It is End Times. Of course there is more depravement. No matter how much you try, again Shaitan’s supporters are many. May Allah keep us safe from them. May their evil be on themselves. May Allah give these people a long life Inshallah.

215.ADAB AND TRUE KNOWLEDGE Friday, November 25, 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, as we said, is adab, manners. What is meant by adab is the collection of manners. In the past when somebody, a holy one, said something, nobody would say a word and most people would accept. The one who did not accept would not express his rejection thinking, “Certainly there is a wisdom I do not understand in these words. These people do not speak empty words.” Following the shutting down of tariqas, the world around filled with bad manners. It is filled with all kinds of bad manners, especially amongst people claiming to be Muslim. It increased after this Wahhabi dissension1.
The people of tariqa reach our Holy Prophet (SAW), from one shaykh to another it reaches our Holy Prophet (SAW). The words they speak are wise and beautiful. Their words become light for people. It lights their hearts, and it lights their insides and their faces. It gives people relief, it gives happiness, and it gives tranquility. When Shaitan looks at them and sees they are happy, Shaitan is not happy with this.
For now people are crazy over brand names and do not wear anything but brand names. Taking advantage of this, some people copy them and make them for a lira. The original is made for a lira too: they stick the brand name on it and sell it for a hundred anyway. The copiers sell it for 10 or 20 liras and these folk buy it in a mad scramble. Now, these Shaitan‟s men, people who did not reach Hazrat Prophet (SAW), it is of no use no matter how much knowledge they have. Knowledge is a useless thing when it does not meet truth. They buy it and discard it as it breaks after one use.
One time a similar thing happened to us. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) used to love drilling wells and supplying water. He would do this as charity for people. We drilled a well in Cyprus and bought a motor called a submersible motor. This motor was almost as tall as us, about one and a half meter long, made of stainless steel, and it shined and glittered. We went up the mountain with Shaykh Mawlana, they suspended it down in the well, and it worked one time. “Look, it turned out to be good. It shot the water all the way up,” we said. 1. Fitna Then on the second day we went back saying, “Let us go out and try it one more time. Let us see if more comes up.” They placed it again, suspended it in the well, and it is not
working. “I wonder what happened?” we asked. Do this and do that, there is an electrician and a mechanic, but it just did not work. They kept on staring as everything is alright, but nobody thought it would be broken. We realized it was done for, it was for one-time use. The durable one was almost four times as expensive. This one worked one time but the genuine one would go on for years, it would continuously provide water and be useful.
There, what we are explaining is Shaitan‟s shaykhs, rather not shaykh as they do not call themselves shaykh. They call themselves alim, hodja, „allama, professor, and doctor. If only they were not doctors of religion but normal doctors. Then they would be of some use. These ones called doctors of religion do not understand anything about religion, but when it comes to misleading people they do mislead. They verbally attack shaykhs and they verbally attack tariqas thinking it will be useful.
It is the wisdom of Allah (JJ) that Allah protects his awliya, and makes servile2 those who verbally attack them. Nobody respects nor loves them. The three or five people who follow them are people like them. They do not give anything to people. As we said, they have a one-shot deal in their hand. They think the whole nation will follow them with it getting up and down.
Nobody can be a hindrance once Allah wills. Whoever Allah helps, nobody can beat and nobody can make them servile. Nobody can make servile whom Allah has made mighty3. Whoever Allah has made servile, nobody can raise and they cannot become mighty. People who follow their own ego fool themselves. Shaitan fools them, flatters them, and they continue on that way. Their path is a path that ends in frustration4, and they are regretful in the hereafter.
When a person said a word, as we said, people would listen in the past and would take it if it was useful. People these days object to everybody when they hear a word. “What kind of a person is this person? How long has he been on this way? How old is he? He has been of service and useful to these people for so long. Did he say a good thing or a bad thing?” Without ever considering these, they start addressing that person inappropriately saying shameless words.
Our tariqa is based on manners. We will respect those who respect our Prophet (SAW). We will respect those who respect his family and companions. We will respect those who respect the sahabis. This is our way. 2. Zalil 3. Aziz 4. Khusran
There is permission that time to reply to those who go out of these ways and speak nonsense. However, if you go ahead and verbally attack the holy ones, verbally attack the mashayikh, and verbally attack tariqas and keep talking, Allah would slap you in
such a way that you would not know where it came from! Then you would keep thinking, “How did such a thing befall us?”
The Hadith Qudsi says: “Whoever verbally attacks My awliya, My beloved, or makes animosity towards them, then I make animosity towards him.” These are important words. This is why the awliya and the holy ones do not care, because their faith is strong. They do not deal with no court nor anything else and refer it to Allah. Allah (JJ) is “Ni‟mal mawla wa ni‟man naseer”. He is the best master, the best protector, and He is the one who emerges victorious. People under His protection do not fear anything and they do not care about anything. If you will, the whole world can weigh against them, but as long as Allah is with them, since there is that iman, it is enough for them. May Allah grant all of us that iman Inshallah. May Allah also give these people sense and mind. Being a person of good morals is the most important thing. It is the way taught by our Holy Prophet (SAW).
“I have been sent to complete beautiful morals,” he says. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says, “I was sent to teach good habits and manners.” Let us go on his path Inshallah.

216.CHOOSE THE EASIER PATH Friday, November 25, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) states: “Our path is the right path. Take the easier one on the right path.” Most issues have a couple of paths, or the path is the same but there are a couple of choices. “Choose the easy path,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). Do not go for the difficult, let it be easy, and do it easily. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) himself used to do it so to be an example for His Nation1.
This is not a hard path. The path of Islam fits human nature. It fits and is compatible with Allah’s creation. If you are to follow another religion, it does not fit human nature. The one that fits human nature is the religion of Islam. It is easy for humans. Islam is normally easy but the ego and Shaitan show it hard. Therefore, “Choose the easy option,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW).
The way shown by our Shaykh Mawlana (QS) is also an ease. People should do however much they have the power to do. What is important is for people to believe in Allah (JJ) and love our Prophet (SAW). To do as much as you can is better than not doing at all. As faith increases, gradually actions also increase. With time, they perform prayers completely and give more obligatory alms2 and charity3. They would improve like this slowly, but if you tell them to do everything all at once they would leave it and run away.
Therefore, choose the easier, choose the things you can continue, and do not take the extra burden you cannot carry. There, this is also the beautiful path and ease shown by our Holy Prophet (SAW). Our Holy Prophet (SAW) advices like this out of mercy for His Ummat. Whatever you do, do it making sure you ask for Allah’s content. Allah would help us on this path, and He gives us a burden according to our strength, however much we can handle.
اع اها وس
سا ِّإ هَل

َل يُ اك ِّل’
He sasy, “La yukallif ullahu nafsan illa wus’aha.” (Sura Baqara:286) “Allah does not charge a person except with that within its capacity.” Therefore, our Holy Prophet (SAW) saw as as weak. We cannot be proud of our worship no matter how much it is. Our
worship is nothing even if we worship for a thousand years. Rather than trusting in it and being arrogant, it is better to do the smallest, easiest thing. May Allah not misguide us from the right path and grant us the intercession of our Holy Prophet (SAW) Inshallah.

217.KNOWLEDGE THAT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD GIVES NO BENEFIT Saturday, November 26, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Master states, “Kallimun nasa „ala qadari „uqoolihim.” “Speak to people according to how much they can understand.” Everybody understands different things. You would explain different things to an ignorant person. They will not understand anything and will fall asleep if you go ahead and explain like they are university students or educated. Explain it in a way they will understand so it would be useful for them and you will not be talking for nothing.
Some people do not know and the intelligence of the speaker is the same as theirs: “Let me speak and show them,” they think. Talk without soul and meaning is useless. However, if you know what will benefit people, accordingly there is something people can learn. But if you talk very big things, people would neither understand nor learn and it would not benefit them.
Therefore, those of old said, “Likulli maqamin maqaal.” “There are words to be spoken for each assembly,” but it is appropraite to speak it there. If you speak something else it would not be of any use. Therefore, to introduce Allah to people you need to say a word in a way they can understand so they can also learn little by little.
This is knowledge, and it is an obligation for everyone to learn knowledge. It would be useful for both themselves and for the one who teaches. There is a huge virtue for the one who teaches too. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) has said:
“Khayrukum man ta‟allamal qurana wa „allamah.” The best of you are those who teach the word of Allah, the Koran, and those who learn it. The best of people are also those who teach the word of our Holy Prophet (SAW).
Accordingly, we need to think wisely, “How much can this one learn?” In some schools of today classes are taught: if the child learns that in one year that child would be like
studying at university. However, they place it there just to teach it, and neither the students learn nor their teacher is of any use.
May Allah firstly give these people wisdom1. What we mean by hikmat is a great thing and not everyone has it. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Whomever I give hikmat they have gained a great fortune.” May Allah grant us from those wisdoms too Inshallah.

218.HAZRAT SULTAN ALPARSLAN Sunday, November 27, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
We should not talk big and brag according to Islamic manners and tariqa manners. If Allah has given you a quality, you should not think it is from yourself but continuously think it is from Allah. Because Allah Azza wa Jalla created everybody the same and sometimes He gives whomever He wishes good things as a test. That is also a test. A test is not only doing something hard and enduring it. Sometimes good things are given as a test and if you go ahead and say, “Me, it is I,” you would be failing the test.
However many leaders and pious ones came as a leader to this Nation1 since our Holy Prophet (SAW), those who were on the path of truth always knew this and acted upon these words. However, those like Pharaoh and like Nimrod who went astray came out saying, “It is I,” and kept on grumbling. It was of no use for themselves or for others either.
عل´ى ا ˚ل ´كاف¸ ¸ري ´ن
˚ؤ ¸م ¸ني ´ن أ´ ¸ع َّزة„ عل´ى ا ˚ل ˚م
أ´ ¸ذلَّ „ة
“Athillatin „alal mu‟mineena a‟izzatin „alal kafireen.” (Sura Ma‟ida:54) “They are humble toward the believers and powerful and honorable against the disbelievers.” They can do this against infidels2. Because they are on Allah‟s true path they can talk against them, but they can never do it against Muslims. They would treat Muslims gently as if saying, “We are alike.” Many great sultans and many great commanders came. Yesterday we read about Hazrat Sultan Alparslan somewhere. His real name is Muhammed Alparslan. We all know him, but where do we know him from? The fatih3 of Anatolia, he was victorious at the Battle of Malazgirt, he conquered Anatolia and opened Anatolia to Islam. He was a great commander and a great sultan, but he was also a very humble and pious person. “The wars we wage are for the sake of Allah, to raise the word of Allah,” he said. “We are waging these wars to cleanse innovation and heresy,” he said.
There were plenty of esoteric4, nonsensical factions back then too. Following that battle, he went to war eastward to what is called Transoxania5, Turkestan, Turkmenistan,
meaning to gather Central Asia under one flag, cleanse however many evil factions there were, and to establish one true clean Islamic state.
Marching forward, he went on opening for Islam. He had soldiers like the sea, like the ocean: soldiers on horseback and on foot. He came to a place on the border of Amu Darya (Jayhun). There was a castle on the side. He besieged it. The commander of the castle was someone from the corrupt faction. It might be a guy called Yusuf Harzemi. The traitorous guy said, “I surrender. Let me go next to the sultan.” He was thinking to kill the sultan when he came next to him. When he came next to the sultan he immediately applied his evil idea, he attacked the sultan and injured him. And the sultan was martyred four days later.
Before he became a martyr he is reported to have said, “[Once], I climbed on top of a hill and I saw all the soldiers: like a sea. „Who can stand in front of us?‟ I grumbled to myself. But Allah inflicted on me this weak servant of His. He became the reason for my death. I repent to Allah for thinking that, I ask Allah for forgiveness. I also ask Him forgiveness for the sins I have commited,” and he became a martyr as such.
So these people, sultans such as these, served Islam for 1000 years. Our sultans served Islam for the true path. He said these beautiful words as soon as he understood his mistake so it would be a lesson for people after his death. May Allah have mercy on him. May Allah grant us all these beautiful morals and manners Inshallah
We are not like mushrooms.6 Our ancestors showed us this beautiful way. They were not of those who talk but do not act. If they said it they would certainly act on it. They did not have things like, “You do it like this but I will not do it.” They showed the beautiful way for people by doing it themselves first.
This is not a simple matter. It is not a simple matter to protect the right way, the true way, for so many centuries, for more than a thousand years. The state that is a haven for all the oppressed and for all people is the state of Islam. They did these and they protected it. May Allah be content with them all. May their stations be high Inshallah.

219. A MUSLIM DOES NOT HOLD A GRUDGE Monday, November 28, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
A Muslim does not hold a grudge. Grudge is a attribute of people who are not on the right path. Holding a grudge is a attribute of unbelief1. They continuously hold a grudge. It is one of the qualities of Shaitan: he has been holding a grudge since Adam Alayhis Salam and he makes those who follow him hold a grudge. Against whom? Against Muslims, those on the path of Allah.
Whoever holds a grudge like that and keeps grudge in their heart against Muslims, their faith is incomplete and weak. Grudge causes heaviness and gives people uneasiness. It harms the persons themselves first. People should first have affection2 towards Allah Azza wa Jalla and then for Hazrat Prophet (SAW). Allah Azza wa Jalla commands to have affection towards all the prophets, saints3, companions4, and believers5.
Grudge and affection cannot come together. Therefore it is Shaitan’s attribute, it is kufr’s attribute. A Muslim cannot have resentment towards another Muslim for more than three days. They should not stay so says our Holy Prophet (SAW). Staying with hard feelings means bearing a grudge. Muslims should bear affection towards each other.
You might have fury towards the other person, then you can feel rancor in your heart. However, once that person comes to the right path that rancor should go away. So there is no such things as keeping rancor in your heart once that person is a Muslim. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) even forgave Wahshi who martyred Hazrat Hamza after he became Muslim. He did not punish him or anything because punishing is from holding a grudge.
All evils are cleaned when one becomes Muslim. You can have rancor against kufr and this is different than grudge. Rancor is one thing and grudge is another. We need to have rancor towards things Allah does not like. But there is no such thing as a grudge not going away even when the other is a Muslim. It is the same way in the Islamic world. Faith is not complete for people who hold a grudge towards others, towards the sahaba, and towards the Ahl-e Bayt. We do not need to follow them.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says it openly: “Whatever was done before, Islam forgives it all. Once the person is Islam, all of it would be forgiven and the person would be like a new-born.” We need to implement Allah’s commands and we need to follow Him, not the ideas people have in their own heads. May Allah resurrect us all with a clean heart on the Day of Judgment Inshallah.

220.FOR THE SAKE OF A CUP OF COFFEE Tuesday, November 29, 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.
Allah Azza wa Jalla states: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim َ
˚ي ´ن ˚ك ˚م
ض ´ل
˚وا ا ˚لف´ س
و ´ل ت´ ˚ن
“Wala tansawul fadla bainakum.” (Sura Baqra:237) “Do not forget the good done unto you, do not forget graciousness between you!” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. Meaning not the good you do to others, but do not forget the good others do unto you. People of today only remember the good they do unto others and forget the good others do unto them. They do not remember it. They only remember the evil or harm that might have come from others. They constantly remember it but forget the good. This is not a good attribute. Allah Azza wa Jalla states: “Do not forget the good done!”
Shaykh Mawlana (QS) would remember the smallest good done even if twenty years had passed. We witnessed so many times this beautiful attribute of Shaykh Mawlana’s and his saying, “Ya Hu, this man offered us tea. He offered us something before.” He would never talk about the bad, but only spoke about how people did good. He would even remember the things from his childhood and tell us about whoever did good.
Therefore, this is a good moral, it is the moral of the Prophet, and a good habit Allah Azza wa Jalla speaks about. Do not forget the good done. Affection disappears, the love inside disappears, if the good is forgotten. Our ancestors have beautiful sayings too. It is said, “A cup of coffee is good for 40 years’ sake.” People of past would not forget the good done. Now, wherever there is evil, wherever there is mischief, everybody waits for it thinking, “Let this man do me evil so I can have a grudge and hatred against him.” May Allah give us all from those good habits Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
221.THE LAST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH OF SAFAR Wednesday, November 30, 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.
70,000 troubles descend on this day. Shaykh Mawlana (QS) used to say, “Safar ulkhayr: may its good be unto us and its evil unto others.” It is said, “Shaitan deserves to be punished.” These troubles descend upon the people of unbelief and devils. It does not touch those who remember Allah, give their alms, and repent and ask forgiveness. Its good descends on them. To them the good in everything comes Allah willing.
Let us not forget three Kalima Shahada, 300 Astaghfirullah, and our alms today. Do not say, “Where am I to find a poor person this early in the morning?” Place your alms aside, place it in an envelope or a box – place it wherever you want – do not touch it and give it when you find a poor person. This is also accepted. Once you reserve it with the intention of almsgiving, there is no such thing as necessarily finding a poor person to give it at the same time. You can give it when you find one, but reserve your alms that day.
It is the wisdom of Allah normally, most of the time, the month of Safar is 29 days. We are witnessing it being 30 days for the first time in a long time. It means there is wisdom in this too. Inshallah the good of the month of Safar is for us. And may these troubles come back as oppression to those who rebel against Allah, who tyrannize people, who rain bombs on the destitute, and who kill people without pity.
They are raining fire and bombs on oppressed people continually day and night. They do not fear Allah and are not ashamed of people. Allah exists and Allah has His scourges. If He ever afflicts it nobody can save them. May Allah help us. May the good of the month of Safar be unto us and its evil be unto those tyrants Inshallah.

222.OUR MASTER (SAW) IS OUR GREATEST BLESSING Hazrat Thursday, December 1, 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.
Thank Allah the month of Safar passed safely Inshallah. This month is the month of our Holy Prophet (SAW), Rabiul Awwal, the month of Mawlid1. The night of Mawlid, as Hazrat Sulaiman Chelebi says, is as valuable a night as Laylatul Qadr2. It is holy. Those who honor and show our Holy Prophet (SAW) love during this month gain great rewards in the sight of Allah. We need to thank Allah that we are from the Nation of our Holy Prophet (SAW). It is a great blessing but people do not know the value of this blessing. Whereas even the prophets before our Holy Prophet (SAW) would pray to Allah to be from his Ummat. We have been greatly favored, we have become a nation of a beautiful prophet, and we have become a nation of Allah’s beloved Prophet. This needs to be a great joy for us.
Starting with 100 salawat a day, do as many as you can as an honor in the month of Rabiul Awwal. You can also organize a Mawlid for the birth of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Give the things you give as a gift to him. Saying, “For his glory and honor we are giving these alms, doing these worships, and getting along well with people,” however much good there is do more of it during this month in honor of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Our Holy Prophet (SAW) is a great blessing for us. Honoring our Holy Prophet (SAW) is a command next to Allah. Allah (JJ) says, “Honor the Prophet. Confer salat and salam upon him. I and the angels confer blessing and peace upon him.” Allah Azza wa Jalla has ordered this and people who have believed need to follow it. Even though it is written in the Koran, Shaitan has mislead so many people through various ways. The dignity of those people would be gone. Those who do not honor our Holy Prophet (SAW) have no honor, have no value. People who have no value in the sight of Allah have no value next to people either. May Allah (JJ) increase our love for our Holy Prophet (SAW). The more we love him the better it is for us. This is the summary of the matter Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

223.TYRANNY DOES NOT LAST LONG Friday, December 2, 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.
“Azzulmu la yadoom.” It says, “Tyranny does not last.” Meaning a person cannot endure with tyranny and last forever. For sure he has a time. The one who tyranizes will also disappear Allah willing. This is the command of Allah.
Therefore, nobody could rule long with tyranny. Those who reigned with justice and mercy were the Ottomans. The Ottomans reigned for nearly 700 years. People need to see this. However, Shaitan made people blind and deaf. They do not hear, they do not listen. They think they will go on forever with this tyranny. The life of a person cannot even pass a 100 years anyway. If you tyrannize, you will definitely pay for it in the hereafter. Even the tongueless animals will get retribution for the injustice they inflict on each other. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) says: “When a hornless sheep is rammed by a horned sheep, Allah will give that one horns to ram the other in order for justice to be served in the hereafter.”
So surely whatever oppression or the like was done, they will be answered for in the hereafter. The rights of Allah are separate and Allah forgives His rights, but as long as the oppressed person does not forgive, the one who oppresses will certainly serve a sentence. That person is already uneasy in the world, the things he does are useless, and he will be worse off in the hereafter. In the hereafter, he will be sorry when he answers for it and suffers his punishment, but being sorry will be of no use. Whoever he tyrannized in this world, he needs to repent, ask the person for forgiveness, and not leave it for the hereafter. There is a hereafter. People with faith believe in Allah and believe in the hereafter. This is important. People act accordingly and live like humans accordingly. A person should not oppress and should follow the commands of Allah. A human needs to be merciful. May Allah grant us all mercy and not remove mercy from our hearts. When He removes mercy, he becomes not human but a wild creature. We cannot call him an animal anymore. He is a creature now. Allah forbid.

224.THE EGO IS UNTAMED Sunday, December 4, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla created the human ego untamed, wild. It needs to be tamed. What is meant by taming is adab, it needs to learn good manners. The ego can only come round through manners, otherwise it is wild and untamed. It does not want anyone but itself and does not get along with anyone.
“Al-mu’minu yu’laf,” is the hadith of our Holy Prophet (SAW), “yu’laf wa ya’laf.” Meaning finished with wildness and getting along well with people. “People also get along well with him,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). A believer, a Muslim, is a person who does not cause shemozzle and one who always gets along well with family and others outside.
However, the more they are far from this faith, the more they are difficult to get along with. They would not be able to get along with people, with family, with relatives, and with neighbors. Everybody would say, “This man is a bad-tempered man.” Why? Because he has followed his ego and gone wild. The ego is already untamed but people who have not been able to tame their ego cannot get along with people and people would not like them. And they would not love them. They only love themselves.
May Allah save us from this wildness and grant us to be more sweet-tempered Inshallah. May we be amongst those servants whom Allah loves and Hazrat Prophet (SAW) loves Inshallah.

225.MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR WITH TAKBIRS Monday, December 5, 2016

Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
The enemy of humans from all eternity, ever since we have been created, is Shaitan. Shaitan made supporters for himself. They are all at once the enemies of Muslims and the enemies of Islam.
There are attacks from all sides because it is End Times now. They are trying to finish Islam from all sides. No Zoroastrian, no Hindu, no disbeliever, and no Buddhist is left out. They are attacking and trying all the way to finish Islam. A Muslim should not lose hope from Allah.
ر ْح ام ِّة ا ه َِّّلل
طوا من
َل تا ْقنا
“Laa taqnatu mir rahmatillah.” (Sura Zumar:53) “Do not despair from the mercy of Allah.” Allah helps. They have weapons and everything. People who are afraid of their weapons have weak faith. Our greatest weapon is iman, our belief in Allah. When we believe in Him, nothing can defeat Islam. Allah willing Islam will emerge victorious in the end, the whole world will become Muslim, and Mahdi Alayhis Salam will come out.
Some of our people do not accept Mahdi Alayhis Salam. There are educated, supposedly scholarly people who say, “There is no such thing!” Whereas there are authentic hadiths of our Holy Prophet (SAW) regarding the appearance of Mahdi Alayhis Salam. Believing in him is the belief and creed of our Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat. Those who do not accept this are considered outside of the sphere of Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat. Once there is iman no weapon can stand in our way Allah willing. What is important is us having a strong faith. People pretending to be scholars are trying to destroy us from within. They are more dangerous and we need to be careful of them.
It is obvious, Mahdi Alayhis Salam will come out making takbir and everybody will hear it. One cannot be Mahdi with the dissension and mischief of the likes of today. Mahdi is the lion of Allah and when he appears he will say, “I am here!” That time the whole world will become Muslim. Mahdi (AS) will destroy disbelief and will be victorious over kufr Inshallah. May Allah make it happen as soon as possible
Inshallah. It is End Times. Its signs appear plenty. Inshallah he comes out. It is possible for him to appear soon.

226.WE DOT NOT APPROVE OF THAT WHICH IS NOT GOOD Tuesday, December 6, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
There are beautiful things Allah has commanded and things He forbid which are not good. If you see good Alhamdulillah1, but all over there are things Allah has forbid or which are not good. When a person sees them:
اللهم إن هذا منكر ل نرضا به
ا “Allahumma inna hatha munkarun la narda bih,” should be said. Meaning, “This is denied and we do not approve of it.” Because when you approve of that which is which is not good (denied), wherever it is happening you would be like doing it too. Even if not to that extent, we need to not approve of that which is not good so Allah’s wrath would not come to that country. When you see such a thing, even if from within, you should say, “This is munkar. We dot not approve of this.” Why is he saying this? So it does not become a habit. It means saying, “This is bad but whatever, it is alright,” no, it is not alright. We need to say, “This is denied and we do not approve of it. It is happening but we do not approve of it. We are innocent, we do not accept it, and we do not acknowledge it.” We need to continuously say this or you should say it from inside so that the forbidden becomes clear that it is haram. The permissible (halal) and the forbidden (haram) should not go about mixing. When you see something bad, make sure you continuously keep repeating this inside. That time both Allah’s consent would be upon you, and you would know the forbidden and not forget it. May Allah save us from bad conditions and give guidance to those people who have fallen in those situations Inshallah. Not only people, but if you see a bad scene on the street - if you see alcohol bottles, if you see a statue or nonsensical portraits - you should not see them as normal but see them as bad and say, “We do not approve of them.”May Allah give guidance to these people too. May He also Inshallah give us an improved condition.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

227. THIS LIFE AND WORSHIP Wednesday, December 7, 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Sheykh Abdullah Daghestani, Sheykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Thank Allah, Allah has created us Muslim, because woe unto us if He had created us differently! A couple of words are enough to become Muslim. Once you say, “La Ilaha Illallah, Muhammadun Rasulullah,” you are Muslim. After that, whatever you want to do you need to strive and work for both in this world and the hereafter.
Now some people only want to work for the hereafter. That is also good, but the works of this world and looking after your family are also considered worship. Earning a living through the permissible1, looking after your family, and raising them as pious2 people is also a great worship.
Beside this, Allah Azza wa Jalla opened for us plenty of doors of the hereafter. There are beautiful things. Actually, there is not much bother in performing worship. Following morning prayer3 is the sunrise prayer4, and following that is the mid-morning prayer5. It does not even take 15 minutes if you pray them all.
There is the tasbih6 and it would be good if you are able to do it. Allah Azza wa Jalla placed them all in intervals. You can take care of your worldly affairs and build your hereafter. When they are done together, you are counted as being in a continuous state of worship. You would be counted as having worshipped throughout your life. You would gain in this world and you would gain in the hereafter.
So Allah Azza wa Jalla did not assign a burden people cannot bear. Some people keep saying, “Why are you praying so much?” Their problem is they are envious because they cannot do it. They think and say, “They do it. They are better than us,” then they say, “They are not doing right. We are better than them.” We should not listen to them. We need to caution them not to be lazy and to perform their prayers and worships.
The Son of Adam is so under the control of Shaitan that he runs around all day and does everything, but when it comes to prayer he says, “I cannot do it!” You say, “Start with two rakats,” and even that is difficult for the person. This laziness is from Shaitan. Not being lazy, being a diligent person, are the attributes of awliya6 and mumins7.
Their efforts are “The more we collect for the hereafter the more we would gain” since we are going to stay for a short while in this world. Just as a person hurries when trying to reach somewhere on time, they are like that. No matter how long this life might be, even if a 100 years, again it is considered as nothing. It is short.
People without faith are bored from an early age. Saying, “What are we going to do in this world?” these people who are faithless waste themselves, commit suicide, and do the sort. This arises from faithlessness. The person with faith, considers life short no
