II.FOREWORD
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Allahumma Salliala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alaa Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim
As salaamwalekum wa Rehmatullahi taala wa Barakaatu
Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS. Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Mehmet QS.
This book is a compendium of sohbets or spiritual discourses, of the year 2017, of our Master and teacher of millions and worldwide leader of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order, Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani QS, may Allah SWT grant him good health and long life – Aameen.
These sohbas are easily available in video format on www.saltanat.org & www.hakkani.org. We are trying to make it easy for the followers to find a medium that suits them to receive these teachings. Therefore the sohbas of this book is available in 3 formats:
1.Videos 2.PDF copy 3.Hard copy
Please pick the format that suits you and get enlightened with the words and teachings of our Master. May Allah SWT bless us with good understanding and the tawfeeq to act upon these teachings – Aameen.
If any of the readers would like to translate this book or the series of these books to any other language, please seek Maulana Shaykh Muhammad’s permission. Please do not translate without his permission. If you are unable to reach him directly, you may write to me and in sha Allah I shall seek try to permission for you.
Alhamdulilah we are blessed that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS, the head of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order has blessed us and allowed us to work on these books, year after year. We have already completed and released 3 books, before this one, ie; 2014, 2015 and 2016. These books are available in both soft & hard formats through our website www.naqshbandiindia.com. Soon this book of sohbas of 2017 shall be available in both soft & hard formats.
There are various teams involved in the making of these books (series of books). It is a process of service that teams of murids are offering right from the AV team, to the transcripting team, to the compiling team, to the printing and then the distribution team. I am greatful to each and everyone involded in the making of the previous books and this one too. May Allah SWT reward all with khair here and hereafter – Aameen.
We have a few advise for the readers to make the reading process more beneficial. Our advise is simple, read only until you can stay focused. These sohbas / lectures are words of a saint of Allah SWT. If we lose focus and lose focus on a few lines in between while reading the meaning of the message may be changed. In other words, the teachings of the Shaykh may be misunderstood. Also try to keep a highlighter handy, and / or use sticky notes, so you can highlight topics, or sentences which you would like to refer in the future. The lectures are transcripted and are in the exact form as Maulana Mehmet speaks.
Another advise is that when ever you read the name Allah, please say Jalla Jalaaluhu or Subhana Wa Ta’aala along with it. When you read Prophet Muhammads Name, please make sure to say Sal lal laa hu alaihi wa sallam. When you come across Sahaba Names, please say Radi Allahu Anhu and when you come across Maulana Shaykh Nazim or other Awlia names, please say Qaddas Allahu Sirrahu.
It has been a big Baraka (blessing) that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad himself has been releasing the hard copies of the books. When the PDF is ready, I call Maulana Shaykh and he makes dua and blesses the release of the book. Once the hard copy is ready we try to meet up with him and get the book officially released by his blessed hands.
Sohba Collection 2015 Released at the Maqam of Grand Shaykh Mujaddid Alf Sani Shaykh Ahmed Farooqi Sirhindi QS, Sirhind, Punjab, India.
Sohba Collection 2016 Released at a special private gathering at Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
We have been tying this with the earlier editions and will keep doing the same with the editions to come, that these books much reach all the Naqshbandi Zavias all over the world. The zikr leaders there can read a lecture from these books in their gatherings and let the teachings of the Shaykh reach his murids. Often it is seen that in many Zavias the khadims / zikr leaders begin to explain somethings or try to teach about the Naqshbandi tariqa but what they teach are not from the teachings of our Shaykhs. These are mostly what they have heard from other ulama and also read in some books or just word of mouth. If it is from another aalim, there can be a difference of opinion. That’s ok and we must follow what our Shaykh teaches us. But in many cases its just word of mouth that they start spreading and most of it are lies. The same gets spread ahead and there are so many false points floating all over the world in the name of our Shaykh. We must save ourselves and save others too from falsehood. We are murids of The Haqqani – Rabbani Shaykhs. Haqqani means defender of Truth. Let us make it a barakah for all and just use the lectures of our Shaykh directly.
I really appreciate your good understanding. May Allah forgive me and bless you all. Wa minallahi tawfeeq Al faatiha
Love & best regards, Khaadim Shaykh Ashraf Ali Ghansar Naqshbandi

1.DO NOT COMPLY WITH YOUR EGO BUT LISTEN TO ADVICE Saturday, 24 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says: “The greatest enemy of people is their ego.” Because the ego wants everything like a spoiled child. It does not want any hardship, but no benefit arises without hardship either.
Medicine is sour and is taken to get rid of disease. The medicines of old were not like those of today. It would taste so bitter when you placed it in your mouth. Now they did some things and covered it a little so it is not as bitter as before. However, normally medicine is still not pleasant. Yet disease does not go away without medicine.
Or else people need to control their ego from the beginning to avoid disease. Your stomach will have problems if you eat everything. The stomach is the house of disease as it causes disease. We are showing this as an example, but the root is the ego wanting every evil. We need to restrain it. For it to do anything that comes across it causes torment for people later. There is exterior torment and torment in the hereafter.
Your hereafter is ruined if you live for this world. You should not live for this world. Allah created the world as a means, for it to be used. The blessings, trials, and whatever there is: if you think about the hereafter and act accordingly thinking it is coming from Allah Azza wa Jalla and Hazrat Prophet, your actions would be acceptable and beneficial. On the contrary, if you do not accept it and not think about it, the torment you suffer would be your only gain and nothing else.
So there are two sides to this. Allah Azza wa Jalla tells people, “Do not live for nothing, do not suffer for nothing.” Nothing is in vain if you think about Allah. All of it is written in the sight of Allah and you would gain its rewards. Otherwise, woe to you if it never crosses your mind, you run after your ego, and do anything your ego wants. The ego wants all sorts of things. Do not go after them just because it wants them. Listen to advice!
So the ego wants all sorts of things, whatever comes to your mind. Allah provides the permissible and He provides the unlawful. You look for the halal. Meaning everything
has two choices: one is halal and one is haram. You will not be full if you run after the haram. Allah willing the halal satisfies and you would also gain its rewards. May Allah not make us comply with our ego. May Allah provide us the halal. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
2.THE ONLY RELIGION IS ISLAM Saturday, 24 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
InshaAllah may it be a sohba that will benefit us and benefit our ego. May it be a sohba not for our ego to grow but for the reformation of our ego Inshallah. These are End Times, the right time for Shaitan. Even if fake, today is considered the holy day of Christians. They say 24 December is the birthday of Isa (Jesus Christ) Alayhis Salam. When in fact it is not this date. In reality it was later. Hazrat Isa‟s birth was probably towards April so it was in spring.
However, they did not have much to do during these winter days. So as not to be celebrating when they would be working, and they would be sitting at home during free winter time, they said, “It would be a pasttime and we would do shopping.” This is why they decided on 24 December. They assigned it this way and it is going on as such. People would celebrate it as being holy, they would pray on that day and go to church.
In fact, one of our brothers says - we have brothers who became Muslim later: “When going to church, ladies would wear headscarves, and women would sit separately from the men.” He says, “There are no attenders anymore. Most churches are closed and are being sold. Even if there are a few, they have no headscarves, women and men are not seated separately, and a couple of people are attending.” So they have nothing left of religion. No religion but Islam is left in the world, but Shaitan is unable to tolerate it either and is trying to ruin it too. He tries to get the nation away from religion either by attacking directly or by causing dissension.
Humans have no value when religion is gone. People without religion are worthless people. A trend is out now: “I have no religion, I am an atheist!” they say. In fact these Europeans are saying, “There was such a thing as paganism and we just heard of it.” Various things are coming out. Pagan means, just as in the past, people who worship idols and fire, meaning useless things.
You cannot marry a person without a religion. That marriage is unlawful. You can neither take a bride or give a bride in marriage. So even this needs to be a huge lesson for people. People are not taking lesson. What does this mean, what is its explanation?
Its explanation is: can you marry an animal? You cannot. It means these people are lower than animals. You cannot marry them. You can neither give them or take from them in marriage.
Because Christianity and Judaism are heavenly religions it is lawful with them. So you can marry them, and having children with them is permissible, but other than them is not allowed. Shaitan has made it into a means so people would leave their religion for animalistic (material) love, get married or have children. It is not lawful, these are fitna, and are useless.
Our religion is Islam. Islam is the religion of Allah. “Innaddina „Indallahil Islam.” “No doubt, Islam is the religion in the sight of Allah.” (Sura Aali Imran:19) There is no other religion left to follow, because Jews and Christians have changed their religion a lots. So not even five percent right is left in them. There is nothing left unchanged. They change it as they like. Since they even changed the date their prophet was born, those who do this have changed everything.
They have no such thing as religion left. The guys are even selling their churches. So the commands of Allah mean nothing to them, they are of no value. If we were to speak till morning about the mistakes they make, it would still not be enough. Not even a year would be enough. They are saying the opposite of what Allah commands in everything. Musa Alayhis Salam has the Ten Commandments. It is valid in Christianity and it is valid in Judaism. They are not doing any of them. They are doing the exact opposite.
Therefore, only Islam is left in the face of Shaitan. He is trying to finish it as well and is causing dissension with all he has. He is causing fitna among Muslims with perverted people, perverted ideas, and bad thoughts. May Allah keep this country safe. This is Inshallah the head of Islam. It carries the flag of Islam. The flag of our Holy Prophet is here. Inshallah it will emerge from these dissensions safe and sound Allah willing. They are even causing much fitna here.
We would not want to get into politics, but now they are thinking all these incidents are the cause of one person. Intelligent people, people who think they are intelligent, are saying this. People who believe this are not intelligent. It was the same 50 years ago. Shaykh Mawlana has sohbas mentioning this. They do not want Turkey to raise its head because it is the head of Islam. They want to always keep its head low, to crush its head.
Shaykh Mawlana would say this in sohbas 50-60 years ago too. Now the truth is coming out, meaning it has nothing to do with that person. It was the same 100 years ago too. They tried. It was the same 200 years ago, and it was the same 500 years ago. Their desire was to place a cross on the Ayasofia (Hagia Sofia) and turn it into a church again. They
want to root and throw out Islam from here. This is whay we are saying these people are being fooled. They are being fooled and are doing wrong.
It is not fit for an intelligent person to listen to the enemy, to follow the enemy, and to accept what the enemy says. Because the enemy has no mercy. Never look for mercy outside of Islam. Do not look for mercy in perverted factions. This is Islam‟s head and whoever the leader may be, these infidels and tyrants will not let go of you until they turn this place Christian.
Shaykh Mawlana said once, “They will fill that pool in Beyazit Square with water and baptize you. Again they would not consider you one of them. They will consider you hypocrites.” Truely, those who abide by them are even hypocrites in their eyes. They are not effected by goodness. The stronger you are the more respect you get. You have no respect whatsoever if you are week. They would ride on your back and dangle their feet.
We see that everybody‟s moral is low these days. They ask, “What will happen sir? What is this condition?” This is the condition of the world. Ever since humanity was created it has fought amongst itself and killed each other. It is a quite natural thing. So there is nothing more natural than this. All of time was spent with warfare. Ever since the start of history, people have killed each other and fought wars. You need to worry about your hereafter.
This is the state of the world, and there is no such thing as the world will be a better place. As long as humanity exists, it will fight each other. The thing we need to be grateful for is, thank Allah, the people ruling us are strong, are on the path of Allah, and are people who do not fear the unbeliever.
It makes the infidel burst and crack, and the kafir is in a raving mad condition. Don‟t you also join them by being fooled saying, “No, this man is not good.” The more they denigrate a person, the better that person is. The more they do not like a person, the more that person is to be loved.
We are obliged to tell the truth here. We sat here to say the truth because people have come to such a state that they think it will be better if this person leaves. That time you will see if it is better or worse! Being sorry is useless then, but may Allah not show us those days. May the infidel burst and down with them Inshallah.
This country is blessed. It is a country praised by Allah and our Holy Prophet . This place is full of awliya, and everywhere is watered with the blood of martyrs. Martyrs are everywhere and light descends upon here. Darkness descends inside when a person goes to Europe or the other side. Some people are fooled and say, “Maybe we should move to another country?” Do not fear. There is no reason whatsoever to go because Allah Azza
wa Jalla has counted your sustenance and your number of breaths. Whether you are here or in the place you consider the safest, again the angel of death will come for you. Do not run from Allah‟s destiny.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “Fafirroo ilallah.” “In that case, immediately escape to Allah.” (Sura Thariyat:50) Where are you going to run? You will run to Allah. That time your heart will be satisfied, you will be at peace, and you will be in tranquility. Otherwise, never think, “Let me run to the kafir. Let me run here and let me run there.” You would be disgraced and cast away in the sight of Allah too.
These lands are the lands of Islam, the abode of Islam. These are the fitnas of End Times. What shall we do? We will remember Allah. What shall we do? We will not hinder our namaz (prayers). We need to give alms. Sadaqa averts accidents and troubles, and Allah would protect you. If you recite Ayat al-Kursi seven times and blow around you before leaving home, it would be like you were wearing an armor Allah willing. You would be protected from evil that day Inshallah. If everybody does this, the country would also be in protection Allah willing. Those people who want to harm others cannot do it that time, and the harm would come back to them.
Recognise the blessings of Allah and be thankful. The issue is not just the world. If it were just the world, then you should feel sorry. The infidel is sad. When things get a little tough, they call it an economic crisis, they go crazy, and commit suicide. These actions are not befitting of a Muslim. Where should Muslims run? They will find peace when they run to Allah. They should take refuge in Allah at home without wandering around too much and they should beg Allah. Let everything you do also be for the sake of Allah.
Work done for the sake of Allah is a good work. Nobody goes to the bar or to the casino – meaning dirty places - for the sake of Allah. If someone says, “I came for the sake of Allah!” immediately he will remember and say, “I am doing wrong. I need to get out of here!” Therefore, let all the works you do be for the sake of Allah. When it is so, you will be written good deeds and everything you do will be counted as worship Inshallah.
Here, these are the days we have been waiting for. It is End Times. Inshallah just as the good tidings our Holy Prophet gives, it means Mahdi Alayhis Salam is near. Following so much oppression and so much evil, certainly he will emerge and Inshallah make the whole world Muslim. Isa Alayhis Salam will also descend. Isa Alayhis Salam is in the second sky. Some scholars of today with perverted ideas never accept Mahdi Alayhis Salam anyway. Not even Isa Alayhis Salam, they do not even accept him either. Whereas it is written in the Koran, and when you do not accept him it means you are denying the Koran and your faith is in jeapordy. There is no need to listen to them. Our creed is the creed of the Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat. It is the truth. Mahdi Alayhis Salam is also the
truth, and Isa Alayhis Salam is the truth too. May Allah make us reach them as soon as possible. Everything is in the own hands of Allah Azza wa Jalla, so it will not happen with our wanting, it will not happen with our wishing either.
Some majzubs come to us and say, “Let Mahdi Alayhis Salam appear already.” So let him appear, let him appear. We are also waiting. We are already waiting more than you are, but the order is not from us. It is from Allah. It will happen when the time comes and he will appear even if we tell him not to. There are many like this, the crew of the majzub. There are those who say such things. For the sake of those majzubs as well, may Mahdi Alayhis Salam appear as soon as possible InshaAllah.

3.THERE IS MERCY IN ADVERSITY Sunday, 25 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Humankind has forgotten the Resurrection (Day of Judgment) and thinks the world will go on like this forever. When in fact humans may live for 60 years, 70 years, or say 100 years and in the end leave [this world]. They leave for the Qiyamah. Since people of today forgot about the hereafter, fear overcomes them whenever something disturbs their comfort in the world. They start thinking and fussing, “What will happen to us? Where will we run?” They say, “Should we run here or should we run there?”
Allah Azza wa Jalla say : “Yaqoolul insanu yawma‟ithin aynal mafarr.” (Sura Qiyamah:10) “Humankind says on that Day, „To where is escape?‟” He is referring to the Resurrection, but before Resurrection people are also coming to this state these days.
Allah Azza wa Jalla utters : “Ila rabbika yawma‟ithinil mustaqarr.” “The place to stand on that Day is only the presence of your Lord.” (Sura Qiyamah:12) “Where you are going is next to your Lord.” You need to seek refuge in Him so you find ease. There is no place to run.
There is wisdom, a benefit, in everything. Without going through adversity humankind neither remembers the hereafter, the Qiyamah, nor obeys the commands of Allah. Therefore, these days are also Allah‟s mercy for people. If you ask, “How can adverse days be a mercy?” you remember Allah.
We did not come for this world. We came for the hereafter, we came to remember Allah. We have reached this age, we have been through many wars and bad days, and we have witnessed Allah‟s wisdom. People always say “Allah” during war and remember Him, and jamis and masjids are full. They leave it all together after war.
We were in Lebanon during the war. The same with Cyprus. We know how Cyprus was in the past. In the past the population was not even one fifth of today, but Cypriots would fill the mosques. Today they came from Turkey and have become fivefold. If it was 100,000 then it is 500,000 today, but mosques are not full, they are empty. So this is
Allah‟s warning but people do not understand. You need to remember Allah when you are comfortable too.
Allah gives some adversity so you would not swear at anybody or be angry with anybody. Think of it as, “This is a warning from Allah in response to what we are doing,” and take it as advice. Do not look for cause in anybody. Allah is the causer of everything. Allah is capable of everything and Allah is the one who makes a cause. Therefore, again you would be forgetting Allah if you put the blame on a person! Turn to Allah and seek refuge in Allah as there is no other place of refuge. He is the place of refuge and He is the one giving these adversities. He will give its rewards accordingly if you remember it.
Otherwise, you will live in adversity if you do not remember it and find fault in others. That would not be of any gain or benefit for you either. However, if you seek refuge in Allah and say, “These adversities came from Allah, we seek refuge in Allah, and our reward is with Allah,” then Allah will reward you. In the hereafter when people receive their rewards for all the adversities they suffered they will say, “I wish I had suffered more adversities.”
Therefore to be a believer and faith are beautiful things. People are at ease once there is that iman. May Allah grant us all iman and keep us safe from these adversities. May Allah make this country safe as well Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
4.ENVY IS A DISEASE OF SHAITAN Monday, 26 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Envy is a character of Shaitan and it means jealousy. Jealousy has a couple of types but it means hasad in Arabic. It means directly envying someone else and not wanting someone else to have the thing they have. It is not, “I may have it and they may have it,” but wanting for them not to have it at all.
It is a very bad trait, character. If people have that envy character, if it is in them, their whole life passes in pain. Because they cannot stand anybody and are jealous and envious of everybody: “They have it and I don’t. They should not have it either!” This is more of a disease than a character. This is a disease and people need to get it out of themselves. People need to try and at least need to say, “They can have it and so can I.” Allah Azza wa Jalla is kind and bestows enough on everybody.
You can be as envious as you wish, that envy eats you inside and your whole life becomes sour. This happens most in the matter of science. Instructors are very jealous and envious of each other, whereas they are speaking the words of Allah. However, when there is no taming of the ego, the ego rides people, turns their life into hell, and they spend the rest of their life in pain and sorrow. So envy has no good side, it has no beautiful side, and you need to save yourself from it. So never give it a chance even if little. While saying certainly, “This is not a good thing,” you should not show it the slightest compromise. Because once it starts, it slowly and gradually kills the person. The person also harms others with that envy and grudge. That is why it also says in the Koran: “Wamin sharri haasidin itha hasad.” (Sura Falaq:5) Meaning, “May Allah protect us from the evil of the one who is envious.” Allah Azza wa Jalla has showed us in Sura Falaq that it is bad, it is malice, and it is evil. No benefit but only evil comes to people from evil. Allah forbid. May Allah keep such people away from us. May Allah keep us safe from their evils.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
5.STAY AWAY FROM THE QUALITY OF HYPOCRISY Tuesday, 27 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla states: ¸ “Innal munafiqeena fiddarkil asfali minannar.” (Sura Nisa:145) “No doubt the hypocrites are in the lowest depths of hellfire.” The most unacceptable, worst, and most hated quality is the quality of hypocrisy. The munafiqs will be in the deepest hell. Jahannam! Allah forbid and may Allah protects us all. There is a valley called the deepest. You would not be able to reach its bottom if you were to descend for 70 years. Why is it so? Because they are more harmful to Islam and to people. Since their harm is more when there is treachery, Allah makes them suffer more torment. There is more torture for them and they are punished more. Of course hypocrisy is levels. Some qualities of hypocrisy are present in many people, and we need to get rid of them. What are they? Our Holy Prophet says : “Itha haddatha kathaba, wa itha wa’ada akhlafa, wa itha’tumina khan.” “They lie when they speak, they do not keep their promise when they make one, and if you trust them with something they betray the trust.” These are the lightest. These exist in most people, and we need to be careful of them. Lying is bad. We need to keep our promise. People nowadays do not keep their promise. Most people betray the trust too. They do not give its due right when something is entrusted on them. People who pray five times a day also do this. These are qualities of hypocrisy and qualities which Allah does not like. People need to get rid of these qualities.
Every community is different. The more people are tormented the more they embrace the quality of hypocrisy. They act with some signs of hypocrisy to look good and nice towards the government, people, or whoever is across so they are not harmed by them. As they act like this, slowly and gradually the society does it too, and this behavior becomes normal for people. Especially people coming to tariqa need to cleanse their ego and get rid of these qualities. They can do it slowly. Of course, people cannot do it all at once. It happens by learning. Inshallah they will say as Mawlana [Rumi] says: “We were raw, we got baked, and we burned,” and it will happen in the very end. Once you are set on a path, Allah willing whatever is the intention it occurs Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
6.SINS ARE FORGIVEN THROUGH REPENTANCE Wednesday, 28 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla said to our Holy Prophet in Sura Fatih as a teaching for us: “Liyaghfira lakallahu ma taqaddama min thanbika wama ta’akhar.” (Sura Fath:2) He says about the Prophet Alayhis Salam, “Your past and future sins are forgiven.”
This is a teaching for us since our Holy Prophet is already innocent. What is meant by innocence is prophets are innocent, and they do not commit sin, they do not have sins. Humankind has sins. Whoever it may be, anyone but prophets have mistakes. They may knowingly or unknowingly have sins. Why did Allah Azza wa Jalla say this? Because people’s past sins are forgiven if they repent and ask for forgiveness. Future sins are not forgiven unless repented. People do not pass a day without making mistakes. Therefore, we need to constantly repent and ask for forgiveness.
Sins are committed. If you repent and seek forgiveness Allah would forgive them, but if you do not, you are not like the Prophet, only your past sins are forgiven and you cannot save yourself from sins that will occur. As our Holy Prophet said, you should at least make 70 “Astaghfirullah” a day. If you say, “We unknowingly committed so many sins yesterday. For their penitence and for their forgiveness,” and make 70, Allah would forgive you. The angels wait. The one on the right immediately records but the one on the left waits saying, “This man committed sin. Wait.” The door of repentance is open. They wait until night time saying, “We will not record it if he repents,” and wait a couple of hours. Then it is written if he does not repent.
Therefore, we need to continuously repent every day before sins are written. However, it has to be at least 70 prayers for forgiveness. “Astaghfirullah al-Azim,” or “Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah…” also works. Those sins would be lifted from you, those burdens would be lifted, and nothing would be left for the hereafter. May Allah forgive us all Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
7.ALLAH DOES NOT TYRANNIZE HIS BELIEVER SERVANT Thursday, 29 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Only our Holy Prophet was able to describe to us Allah’s grandness and greatness. His grandness is much above mind and imagination anyway. Even so Islam is the religion that describes Allah’s qualities the best. A Muslim person is satisfied because Allah describes his ability well, and the unbeliever is unsatisfied.
They lose their religion. Most of them are leaving their religion since there cannot be such a thing: they describe Allah like a man, something like human. Perish the thought. It has no relationship whatsoever. First of all, this does not fit intelligence or reason either. Therefore, most of them are leaving their religion and searching for another religion. Like this and like that they become non-believers.
Allah shows people His ability. Every believer sees Allah’s grandness and ability every minute. They do not see His entity but his qualities and the things He does, and they come to faith. For example now this weather outside (heavy snow). If the whole world were to come together would they be able to do such a thing? They cannot do anything. Whenever Allah wants He makes drought, whenever He wants He provides rain, and whenever He wants He provides snow. He does everything, He is the capable. Now they talk about technology and what not and say, “None is above us!” Let us see if they can go ahead and do it! Let alone all of this, but they cannot even do one-thousandth or one- in-ten-thousandth of this.
Allah is great and Allah does not tyrannise His believer servant. He has ordered only what His mumin servant can handle. Why are we saying this? Do not come up with anxiety5 in the face of Allah’s grandness. Allah forgives and waswasa is from Shaitan. They start ablution6 saying, “It is alright, no it is not alright. It is alright, no it is not alright,” and stay at wudu for an hour. Do it once and it is alright. It is not that difficult. That Shaitan does this to keep you away from worship. Offer your prayer: say Bismillah, pray, and get out.
Do not keep thinking, “It is alright, no it is not alright.” Allah can also accept your action based only on your intention. He does not look at the little stuff. Allah Azza wa Jalla is
Arhamur Rahimin7. You have worshipped Him in the face of His grandness: He gives multiples more rewards and good deeds for that worship you did. Do not have anxiety in the face of Allah’s grandness and do not comply with Shaitan. Later most people while saying, “No, let it be better and let it be more,” burden themselves and then do not do that either.
Do not meddle with it too much. Do not torture yourselves. Most people have waswasa. That is, as we said, from Shaitan and not from Allah. Allah is forgiving, great, and does not need our worship. Just so His command is obeyed, you should at once perform your wudu and perform your prayer, and that is it. May Allah accept it.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
8.NOTHING CHANGES WITH THE NEW YEAR Sunday, 1 January 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
“Ka’annahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathu illa ‘ashiyyatan aw duhaha.” (Sura Nazi’at:46) Sadaqallahul Athim. He says: “When people are resurrected on Judgment Day, they will get up as if they only laid down for one night.” They will have laid down for thousands of years, not one year. They get up as if they were laying down for one night.
There, they are saying the New Year supposedly arrived last night. Next year you look and in the blink of an eye this year is also gone, and the year after is gone too. Life also ends in the blink of an eye. Therefore, we need to take lesson as a [new] year comes and do things to prepare for the hereafter.
Those who are happy for this world, for the coming of the New Year, are foolish. Nothing changes with the [new] year. The years foreordained by Allah come and go. Let people fix themselves and take benefit from that year for themselves. Statements like, “This year went well. This year went badly,” when what went badly are what people do. Even if it went badly, it does not matter if the person is honest and obedient to Allah and compliant with Hazrat Prophet. These are exterior appearances and they cause you no harm. What is harmful is losing your hereafter.
“Like one night,” He says. Sometimes a person sleeps for one night. What is meant by Duha is mid-morning which is a little longer, and the person does not wake up 7 o’clock but at 10. When they wake up they will say, “Good gracious! How did it happen? Did Judgment Day occur?” This is how it is. Allah created days, years, and time so humans take lesson and make use of them.
Saying things like, “It did not go well. It went badly,” for important and valuable time and throwing the blame on others are the words of foolish people. They do not find the fault in their egos but in other things. “The year went well,” or, “the year went badly,” they say, “this year we did a New Year’s. Oh it was very good. We spent it well. We had lots of fun.” They think the whole year will be like this. There is no such thing. There is no relationship whatsoever. Let people fix themselves, look at themselves, and never
find fault in anything else. People should perform their worship and seek refuge in Allah. Those who seek refuge in Allah fear nothing.
There, storm, rain, mud, snow, and ruckus outside. Does anything happen if a person stays at home? No, nothing happens. There, this year and other years are the same way. If you fix yourself, hell could be breaking outside and nothing would happen to you. Or it would not affect your hereafter too and you would be in safety. What we mean by safety is saving your faith. Those exterior factors would have no effect on you.
We need to be careful of this. We need to take lesson from what is being done, from occurring events, and from what they call the New Year. Do not find fault in anything. Strengthen your iman and nothing would affect you Allah willing. May Allah strengthen our faith. May our iman be strong InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

It is the advice of Shaykh Mawlana, as our Holy Prophet says, “Show people the good path and do not spend much time with what does not concern you.” If someone attacks you verbally, there is no need to answer them in the same manner. Doing so reduc

II.FOREWORD
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Allahumma Salliala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alaa Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim
As salaamwalekum wa Rehmatullahi taala wa Barakaatu
Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS. Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Mehmet QS.
This book is a compendium of sohbets or spiritual discourses, of the year 2017, of our Master and teacher of millions and worldwide leader of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order, Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani QS, may Allah SWT grant him good health and long life – Aameen.
These sohbas are easily available in video format on www.saltanat.org & www.hakkani.org. We are trying to make it easy for the followers to find a medium that suits them to receive these teachings. Therefore the sohbas of this book is available in 3 formats:
1.Videos 2.PDF copy 3.Hard copy
Please pick the format that suits you and get enlightened with the words and teachings of our Master. May Allah SWT bless us with good understanding and the tawfeeq to act upon these teachings – Aameen.
If any of the readers would like to translate this book or the series of these books to any other language, please seek Maulana Shaykh Muhammad’s permission. Please do not translate without his permission. If you are unable to reach him directly, you may write to me and in sha Allah I shall seek try to permission for you.
Alhamdulilah we are blessed that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS, the head of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order has blessed us and allowed us to work on these books, year after year. We have already completed and released 3 books, before this one, ie; 2014, 2015 and 2016. These books are available in both soft & hard formats through our website www.naqshbandiindia.com. Soon this book of sohbas of 2017 shall be available in both soft & hard formats.
There are various teams involved in the making of these books (series of books). It is a process of service that teams of murids are offering right from the AV team, to the transcripting team, to the compiling team, to the printing and then the distribution team. I am greatful to each and everyone involded in the making of the previous books and this one too. May Allah SWT reward all with khair here and hereafter – Aameen.
We have a few advise for the readers to make the reading process more beneficial. Our advise is simple, read only until you can stay focused. These sohbas / lectures are words of a saint of Allah SWT. If we lose focus and lose focus on a few lines in between while reading the meaning of the message may be changed. In other words, the teachings of the Shaykh may be misunderstood. Also try to keep a highlighter handy, and / or use sticky notes, so you can highlight topics, or sentences which you would like to refer in the future. The lectures are transcripted and are in the exact form as Maulana Mehmet speaks.
Another advise is that when ever you read the name Allah, please say Jalla Jalaaluhu or Subhana Wa Ta’aala along with it. When you read Prophet Muhammads Name, please make sure to say Sal lal laa hu alaihi wa sallam. When you come across Sahaba Names, please say Radi Allahu Anhu and when you come across Maulana Shaykh Nazim or other Awlia names, please say Qaddas Allahu Sirrahu.
It has been a big Baraka (blessing) that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad himself has been releasing the hard copies of the books. When the PDF is ready, I call Maulana Shaykh and he makes dua and blesses the release of the book. Once the hard copy is ready we try to meet up with him and get the book officially released by his blessed hands.
Sohba Collection 2015 Released at the Maqam of Grand Shaykh Mujaddid Alf Sani Shaykh Ahmed Farooqi Sirhindi QS, Sirhind, Punjab, India.
Sohba Collection 2016 Released at a special private gathering at Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
We have been tying this with the earlier editions and will keep doing the same with the editions to come, that these books much reach all the Naqshbandi Zavias all over the world. The zikr leaders there can read a lecture from these books in their gatherings and let the teachings of the Shaykh reach his murids. Often it is seen that in many Zavias the khadims / zikr leaders begin to explain somethings or try to teach about the Naqshbandi tariqa but what they teach are not from the teachings of our Shaykhs. These are mostly what they have heard from other ulama and also read in some books or just word of mouth. If it is from another aalim, there can be a difference of opinion. That’s ok and we must follow what our Shaykh teaches us. But in many cases its just word of mouth that they start spreading and most of it are lies. The same gets spread ahead and there are so many false points floating all over the world in the name of our Shaykh. We must save ourselves and save others too from falsehood. We are murids of The Haqqani – Rabbani Shaykhs. Haqqani means defender of Truth. Let us make it a barakah for all and just use the lectures of our Shaykh directly.
I really appreciate your good understanding. May Allah forgive me and bless you all. Wa minallahi tawfeeq Al faatiha
Love & best regards, Khaadim Shaykh Ashraf Ali Ghansar Naqshbandi

1.DO NOT COMPLY WITH YOUR EGO BUT LISTEN TO ADVICE Saturday, 24 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says: “The greatest enemy of people is their ego.” Because the ego wants everything like a spoiled child. It does not want any hardship, but no benefit arises without hardship either.
Medicine is sour and is taken to get rid of disease. The medicines of old were not like those of today. It would taste so bitter when you placed it in your mouth. Now they did some things and covered it a little so it is not as bitter as before. However, normally medicine is still not pleasant. Yet disease does not go away without medicine.
Or else people need to control their ego from the beginning to avoid disease. Your stomach will have problems if you eat everything. The stomach is the house of disease as it causes disease. We are showing this as an example, but the root is the ego wanting every evil. We need to restrain it. For it to do anything that comes across it causes torment for people later. There is exterior torment and torment in the hereafter.
Your hereafter is ruined if you live for this world. You should not live for this world. Allah created the world as a means, for it to be used. The blessings, trials, and whatever there is: if you think about the hereafter and act accordingly thinking it is coming from Allah Azza wa Jalla and Hazrat Prophet, your actions would be acceptable and beneficial. On the contrary, if you do not accept it and not think about it, the torment you suffer would be your only gain and nothing else.
So there are two sides to this. Allah Azza wa Jalla tells people, “Do not live for nothing, do not suffer for nothing.” Nothing is in vain if you think about Allah. All of it is written in the sight of Allah and you would gain its rewards. Otherwise, woe to you if it never crosses your mind, you run after your ego, and do anything your ego wants. The ego wants all sorts of things. Do not go after them just because it wants them. Listen to advice!
So the ego wants all sorts of things, whatever comes to your mind. Allah provides the permissible and He provides the unlawful. You look for the halal. Meaning everything
has two choices: one is halal and one is haram. You will not be full if you run after the haram. Allah willing the halal satisfies and you would also gain its rewards. May Allah not make us comply with our ego. May Allah provide us the halal. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
2.THE ONLY RELIGION IS ISLAM Saturday, 24 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
InshaAllah may it be a sohba that will benefit us and benefit our ego. May it be a sohba not for our ego to grow but for the reformation of our ego Inshallah. These are End Times, the right time for Shaitan. Even if fake, today is considered the holy day of Christians. They say 24 December is the birthday of Isa (Jesus Christ) Alayhis Salam. When in fact it is not this date. In reality it was later. Hazrat Isa‟s birth was probably towards April so it was in spring.
However, they did not have much to do during these winter days. So as not to be celebrating when they would be working, and they would be sitting at home during free winter time, they said, “It would be a pasttime and we would do shopping.” This is why they decided on 24 December. They assigned it this way and it is going on as such. People would celebrate it as being holy, they would pray on that day and go to church.
In fact, one of our brothers says - we have brothers who became Muslim later: “When going to church, ladies would wear headscarves, and women would sit separately from the men.” He says, “There are no attenders anymore. Most churches are closed and are being sold. Even if there are a few, they have no headscarves, women and men are not seated separately, and a couple of people are attending.” So they have nothing left of religion. No religion but Islam is left in the world, but Shaitan is unable to tolerate it either and is trying to ruin it too. He tries to get the nation away from religion either by attacking directly or by causing dissension.
Humans have no value when religion is gone. People without religion are worthless people. A trend is out now: “I have no religion, I am an atheist!” they say. In fact these Europeans are saying, “There was such a thing as paganism and we just heard of it.” Various things are coming out. Pagan means, just as in the past, people who worship idols and fire, meaning useless things.
You cannot marry a person without a religion. That marriage is unlawful. You can neither take a bride or give a bride in marriage. So even this needs to be a huge lesson for people. People are not taking lesson. What does this mean, what is its explanation?
Its explanation is: can you marry an animal? You cannot. It means these people are lower than animals. You cannot marry them. You can neither give them or take from them in marriage.
Because Christianity and Judaism are heavenly religions it is lawful with them. So you can marry them, and having children with them is permissible, but other than them is not allowed. Shaitan has made it into a means so people would leave their religion for animalistic (material) love, get married or have children. It is not lawful, these are fitna, and are useless.
Our religion is Islam. Islam is the religion of Allah. “Innaddina „Indallahil Islam.” “No doubt, Islam is the religion in the sight of Allah.” (Sura Aali Imran:19) There is no other religion left to follow, because Jews and Christians have changed their religion a lots. So not even five percent right is left in them. There is nothing left unchanged. They change it as they like. Since they even changed the date their prophet was born, those who do this have changed everything.
They have no such thing as religion left. The guys are even selling their churches. So the commands of Allah mean nothing to them, they are of no value. If we were to speak till morning about the mistakes they make, it would still not be enough. Not even a year would be enough. They are saying the opposite of what Allah commands in everything. Musa Alayhis Salam has the Ten Commandments. It is valid in Christianity and it is valid in Judaism. They are not doing any of them. They are doing the exact opposite.
Therefore, only Islam is left in the face of Shaitan. He is trying to finish it as well and is causing dissension with all he has. He is causing fitna among Muslims with perverted people, perverted ideas, and bad thoughts. May Allah keep this country safe. This is Inshallah the head of Islam. It carries the flag of Islam. The flag of our Holy Prophet is here. Inshallah it will emerge from these dissensions safe and sound Allah willing. They are even causing much fitna here.
We would not want to get into politics, but now they are thinking all these incidents are the cause of one person. Intelligent people, people who think they are intelligent, are saying this. People who believe this are not intelligent. It was the same 50 years ago. Shaykh Mawlana has sohbas mentioning this. They do not want Turkey to raise its head because it is the head of Islam. They want to always keep its head low, to crush its head.
Shaykh Mawlana would say this in sohbas 50-60 years ago too. Now the truth is coming out, meaning it has nothing to do with that person. It was the same 100 years ago too. They tried. It was the same 200 years ago, and it was the same 500 years ago. Their desire was to place a cross on the Ayasofia (Hagia Sofia) and turn it into a church again. They
want to root and throw out Islam from here. This is whay we are saying these people are being fooled. They are being fooled and are doing wrong.
It is not fit for an intelligent person to listen to the enemy, to follow the enemy, and to accept what the enemy says. Because the enemy has no mercy. Never look for mercy outside of Islam. Do not look for mercy in perverted factions. This is Islam‟s head and whoever the leader may be, these infidels and tyrants will not let go of you until they turn this place Christian.
Shaykh Mawlana said once, “They will fill that pool in Beyazit Square with water and baptize you. Again they would not consider you one of them. They will consider you hypocrites.” Truely, those who abide by them are even hypocrites in their eyes. They are not effected by goodness. The stronger you are the more respect you get. You have no respect whatsoever if you are week. They would ride on your back and dangle their feet.
We see that everybody‟s moral is low these days. They ask, “What will happen sir? What is this condition?” This is the condition of the world. Ever since humanity was created it has fought amongst itself and killed each other. It is a quite natural thing. So there is nothing more natural than this. All of time was spent with warfare. Ever since the start of history, people have killed each other and fought wars. You need to worry about your hereafter.
This is the state of the world, and there is no such thing as the world will be a better place. As long as humanity exists, it will fight each other. The thing we need to be grateful for is, thank Allah, the people ruling us are strong, are on the path of Allah, and are people who do not fear the unbeliever.
It makes the infidel burst and crack, and the kafir is in a raving mad condition. Don‟t you also join them by being fooled saying, “No, this man is not good.” The more they denigrate a person, the better that person is. The more they do not like a person, the more that person is to be loved.
We are obliged to tell the truth here. We sat here to say the truth because people have come to such a state that they think it will be better if this person leaves. That time you will see if it is better or worse! Being sorry is useless then, but may Allah not show us those days. May the infidel burst and down with them Inshallah.
This country is blessed. It is a country praised by Allah and our Holy Prophet . This place is full of awliya, and everywhere is watered with the blood of martyrs. Martyrs are everywhere and light descends upon here. Darkness descends inside when a person goes to Europe or the other side. Some people are fooled and say, “Maybe we should move to another country?” Do not fear. There is no reason whatsoever to go because Allah Azza
wa Jalla has counted your sustenance and your number of breaths. Whether you are here or in the place you consider the safest, again the angel of death will come for you. Do not run from Allah‟s destiny.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “Fafirroo ilallah.” “In that case, immediately escape to Allah.” (Sura Thariyat:50) Where are you going to run? You will run to Allah. That time your heart will be satisfied, you will be at peace, and you will be in tranquility. Otherwise, never think, “Let me run to the kafir. Let me run here and let me run there.” You would be disgraced and cast away in the sight of Allah too.
These lands are the lands of Islam, the abode of Islam. These are the fitnas of End Times. What shall we do? We will remember Allah. What shall we do? We will not hinder our namaz (prayers). We need to give alms. Sadaqa averts accidents and troubles, and Allah would protect you. If you recite Ayat al-Kursi seven times and blow around you before leaving home, it would be like you were wearing an armor Allah willing. You would be protected from evil that day Inshallah. If everybody does this, the country would also be in protection Allah willing. Those people who want to harm others cannot do it that time, and the harm would come back to them.
Recognise the blessings of Allah and be thankful. The issue is not just the world. If it were just the world, then you should feel sorry. The infidel is sad. When things get a little tough, they call it an economic crisis, they go crazy, and commit suicide. These actions are not befitting of a Muslim. Where should Muslims run? They will find peace when they run to Allah. They should take refuge in Allah at home without wandering around too much and they should beg Allah. Let everything you do also be for the sake of Allah.
Work done for the sake of Allah is a good work. Nobody goes to the bar or to the casino – meaning dirty places - for the sake of Allah. If someone says, “I came for the sake of Allah!” immediately he will remember and say, “I am doing wrong. I need to get out of here!” Therefore, let all the works you do be for the sake of Allah. When it is so, you will be written good deeds and everything you do will be counted as worship Inshallah.
Here, these are the days we have been waiting for. It is End Times. Inshallah just as the good tidings our Holy Prophet gives, it means Mahdi Alayhis Salam is near. Following so much oppression and so much evil, certainly he will emerge and Inshallah make the whole world Muslim. Isa Alayhis Salam will also descend. Isa Alayhis Salam is in the second sky. Some scholars of today with perverted ideas never accept Mahdi Alayhis Salam anyway. Not even Isa Alayhis Salam, they do not even accept him either. Whereas it is written in the Koran, and when you do not accept him it means you are denying the Koran and your faith is in jeapordy. There is no need to listen to them. Our creed is the creed of the Ahl-e Sunnat wal Jamaat. It is the truth. Mahdi Alayhis Salam is also the
truth, and Isa Alayhis Salam is the truth too. May Allah make us reach them as soon as possible. Everything is in the own hands of Allah Azza wa Jalla, so it will not happen with our wanting, it will not happen with our wishing either.
Some majzubs come to us and say, “Let Mahdi Alayhis Salam appear already.” So let him appear, let him appear. We are also waiting. We are already waiting more than you are, but the order is not from us. It is from Allah. It will happen when the time comes and he will appear even if we tell him not to. There are many like this, the crew of the majzub. There are those who say such things. For the sake of those majzubs as well, may Mahdi Alayhis Salam appear as soon as possible InshaAllah.

3.THERE IS MERCY IN ADVERSITY Sunday, 25 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Humankind has forgotten the Resurrection (Day of Judgment) and thinks the world will go on like this forever. When in fact humans may live for 60 years, 70 years, or say 100 years and in the end leave [this world]. They leave for the Qiyamah. Since people of today forgot about the hereafter, fear overcomes them whenever something disturbs their comfort in the world. They start thinking and fussing, “What will happen to us? Where will we run?” They say, “Should we run here or should we run there?”
Allah Azza wa Jalla say : “Yaqoolul insanu yawma‟ithin aynal mafarr.” (Sura Qiyamah:10) “Humankind says on that Day, „To where is escape?‟” He is referring to the Resurrection, but before Resurrection people are also coming to this state these days.
Allah Azza wa Jalla utters : “Ila rabbika yawma‟ithinil mustaqarr.” “The place to stand on that Day is only the presence of your Lord.” (Sura Qiyamah:12) “Where you are going is next to your Lord.” You need to seek refuge in Him so you find ease. There is no place to run.
There is wisdom, a benefit, in everything. Without going through adversity humankind neither remembers the hereafter, the Qiyamah, nor obeys the commands of Allah. Therefore, these days are also Allah‟s mercy for people. If you ask, “How can adverse days be a mercy?” you remember Allah.
We did not come for this world. We came for the hereafter, we came to remember Allah. We have reached this age, we have been through many wars and bad days, and we have witnessed Allah‟s wisdom. People always say “Allah” during war and remember Him, and jamis and masjids are full. They leave it all together after war.
We were in Lebanon during the war. The same with Cyprus. We know how Cyprus was in the past. In the past the population was not even one fifth of today, but Cypriots would fill the mosques. Today they came from Turkey and have become fivefold. If it was 100,000 then it is 500,000 today, but mosques are not full, they are empty. So this is
Allah‟s warning but people do not understand. You need to remember Allah when you are comfortable too.
Allah gives some adversity so you would not swear at anybody or be angry with anybody. Think of it as, “This is a warning from Allah in response to what we are doing,” and take it as advice. Do not look for cause in anybody. Allah is the causer of everything. Allah is capable of everything and Allah is the one who makes a cause. Therefore, again you would be forgetting Allah if you put the blame on a person! Turn to Allah and seek refuge in Allah as there is no other place of refuge. He is the place of refuge and He is the one giving these adversities. He will give its rewards accordingly if you remember it.
Otherwise, you will live in adversity if you do not remember it and find fault in others. That would not be of any gain or benefit for you either. However, if you seek refuge in Allah and say, “These adversities came from Allah, we seek refuge in Allah, and our reward is with Allah,” then Allah will reward you. In the hereafter when people receive their rewards for all the adversities they suffered they will say, “I wish I had suffered more adversities.”
Therefore to be a believer and faith are beautiful things. People are at ease once there is that iman. May Allah grant us all iman and keep us safe from these adversities. May Allah make this country safe as well Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
4.ENVY IS A DISEASE OF SHAITAN Monday, 26 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Envy is a character of Shaitan and it means jealousy. Jealousy has a couple of types but it means hasad in Arabic. It means directly envying someone else and not wanting someone else to have the thing they have. It is not, “I may have it and they may have it,” but wanting for them not to have it at all.
It is a very bad trait, character. If people have that envy character, if it is in them, their whole life passes in pain. Because they cannot stand anybody and are jealous and envious of everybody: “They have it and I don’t. They should not have it either!” This is more of a disease than a character. This is a disease and people need to get it out of themselves. People need to try and at least need to say, “They can have it and so can I.” Allah Azza wa Jalla is kind and bestows enough on everybody.
You can be as envious as you wish, that envy eats you inside and your whole life becomes sour. This happens most in the matter of science. Instructors are very jealous and envious of each other, whereas they are speaking the words of Allah. However, when there is no taming of the ego, the ego rides people, turns their life into hell, and they spend the rest of their life in pain and sorrow. So envy has no good side, it has no beautiful side, and you need to save yourself from it. So never give it a chance even if little. While saying certainly, “This is not a good thing,” you should not show it the slightest compromise. Because once it starts, it slowly and gradually kills the person. The person also harms others with that envy and grudge. That is why it also says in the Koran: “Wamin sharri haasidin itha hasad.” (Sura Falaq:5) Meaning, “May Allah protect us from the evil of the one who is envious.” Allah Azza wa Jalla has showed us in Sura Falaq that it is bad, it is malice, and it is evil. No benefit but only evil comes to people from evil. Allah forbid. May Allah keep such people away from us. May Allah keep us safe from their evils.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
5.STAY AWAY FROM THE QUALITY OF HYPOCRISY Tuesday, 27 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla states: ¸ “Innal munafiqeena fiddarkil asfali minannar.” (Sura Nisa:145) “No doubt the hypocrites are in the lowest depths of hellfire.” The most unacceptable, worst, and most hated quality is the quality of hypocrisy. The munafiqs will be in the deepest hell. Jahannam! Allah forbid and may Allah protects us all. There is a valley called the deepest. You would not be able to reach its bottom if you were to descend for 70 years. Why is it so? Because they are more harmful to Islam and to people. Since their harm is more when there is treachery, Allah makes them suffer more torment. There is more torture for them and they are punished more. Of course hypocrisy is levels. Some qualities of hypocrisy are present in many people, and we need to get rid of them. What are they? Our Holy Prophet says : “Itha haddatha kathaba, wa itha wa’ada akhlafa, wa itha’tumina khan.” “They lie when they speak, they do not keep their promise when they make one, and if you trust them with something they betray the trust.” These are the lightest. These exist in most people, and we need to be careful of them. Lying is bad. We need to keep our promise. People nowadays do not keep their promise. Most people betray the trust too. They do not give its due right when something is entrusted on them. People who pray five times a day also do this. These are qualities of hypocrisy and qualities which Allah does not like. People need to get rid of these qualities.
Every community is different. The more people are tormented the more they embrace the quality of hypocrisy. They act with some signs of hypocrisy to look good and nice towards the government, people, or whoever is across so they are not harmed by them. As they act like this, slowly and gradually the society does it too, and this behavior becomes normal for people. Especially people coming to tariqa need to cleanse their ego and get rid of these qualities. They can do it slowly. Of course, people cannot do it all at once. It happens by learning. Inshallah they will say as Mawlana [Rumi] says: “We were raw, we got baked, and we burned,” and it will happen in the very end. Once you are set on a path, Allah willing whatever is the intention it occurs Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
6.SINS ARE FORGIVEN THROUGH REPENTANCE Wednesday, 28 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla said to our Holy Prophet in Sura Fatih as a teaching for us: “Liyaghfira lakallahu ma taqaddama min thanbika wama ta’akhar.” (Sura Fath:2) He says about the Prophet Alayhis Salam, “Your past and future sins are forgiven.”
This is a teaching for us since our Holy Prophet is already innocent. What is meant by innocence is prophets are innocent, and they do not commit sin, they do not have sins. Humankind has sins. Whoever it may be, anyone but prophets have mistakes. They may knowingly or unknowingly have sins. Why did Allah Azza wa Jalla say this? Because people’s past sins are forgiven if they repent and ask for forgiveness. Future sins are not forgiven unless repented. People do not pass a day without making mistakes. Therefore, we need to constantly repent and ask for forgiveness.
Sins are committed. If you repent and seek forgiveness Allah would forgive them, but if you do not, you are not like the Prophet, only your past sins are forgiven and you cannot save yourself from sins that will occur. As our Holy Prophet said, you should at least make 70 “Astaghfirullah” a day. If you say, “We unknowingly committed so many sins yesterday. For their penitence and for their forgiveness,” and make 70, Allah would forgive you. The angels wait. The one on the right immediately records but the one on the left waits saying, “This man committed sin. Wait.” The door of repentance is open. They wait until night time saying, “We will not record it if he repents,” and wait a couple of hours. Then it is written if he does not repent.
Therefore, we need to continuously repent every day before sins are written. However, it has to be at least 70 prayers for forgiveness. “Astaghfirullah al-Azim,” or “Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah…” also works. Those sins would be lifted from you, those burdens would be lifted, and nothing would be left for the hereafter. May Allah forgive us all Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
7.ALLAH DOES NOT TYRANNIZE HIS BELIEVER SERVANT Thursday, 29 December 2016
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Only our Holy Prophet was able to describe to us Allah’s grandness and greatness. His grandness is much above mind and imagination anyway. Even so Islam is the religion that describes Allah’s qualities the best. A Muslim person is satisfied because Allah describes his ability well, and the unbeliever is unsatisfied.
They lose their religion. Most of them are leaving their religion since there cannot be such a thing: they describe Allah like a man, something like human. Perish the thought. It has no relationship whatsoever. First of all, this does not fit intelligence or reason either. Therefore, most of them are leaving their religion and searching for another religion. Like this and like that they become non-believers.
Allah shows people His ability. Every believer sees Allah’s grandness and ability every minute. They do not see His entity but his qualities and the things He does, and they come to faith. For example now this weather outside (heavy snow). If the whole world were to come together would they be able to do such a thing? They cannot do anything. Whenever Allah wants He makes drought, whenever He wants He provides rain, and whenever He wants He provides snow. He does everything, He is the capable. Now they talk about technology and what not and say, “None is above us!” Let us see if they can go ahead and do it! Let alone all of this, but they cannot even do one-thousandth or one- in-ten-thousandth of this.
Allah is great and Allah does not tyrannise His believer servant. He has ordered only what His mumin servant can handle. Why are we saying this? Do not come up with anxiety5 in the face of Allah’s grandness. Allah forgives and waswasa is from Shaitan. They start ablution6 saying, “It is alright, no it is not alright. It is alright, no it is not alright,” and stay at wudu for an hour. Do it once and it is alright. It is not that difficult. That Shaitan does this to keep you away from worship. Offer your prayer: say Bismillah, pray, and get out.
Do not keep thinking, “It is alright, no it is not alright.” Allah can also accept your action based only on your intention. He does not look at the little stuff. Allah Azza wa Jalla is
Arhamur Rahimin7. You have worshipped Him in the face of His grandness: He gives multiples more rewards and good deeds for that worship you did. Do not have anxiety in the face of Allah’s grandness and do not comply with Shaitan. Later most people while saying, “No, let it be better and let it be more,” burden themselves and then do not do that either.
Do not meddle with it too much. Do not torture yourselves. Most people have waswasa. That is, as we said, from Shaitan and not from Allah. Allah is forgiving, great, and does not need our worship. Just so His command is obeyed, you should at once perform your wudu and perform your prayer, and that is it. May Allah accept it.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
8.NOTHING CHANGES WITH THE NEW YEAR Sunday, 1 January 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
“Ka’annahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathu illa ‘ashiyyatan aw duhaha.” (Sura Nazi’at:46) Sadaqallahul Athim. He says: “When people are resurrected on Judgment Day, they will get up as if they only laid down for one night.” They will have laid down for thousands of years, not one year. They get up as if they were laying down for one night.
There, they are saying the New Year supposedly arrived last night. Next year you look and in the blink of an eye this year is also gone, and the year after is gone too. Life also ends in the blink of an eye. Therefore, we need to take lesson as a [new] year comes and do things to prepare for the hereafter.
Those who are happy for this world, for the coming of the New Year, are foolish. Nothing changes with the [new] year. The years foreordained by Allah come and go. Let people fix themselves and take benefit from that year for themselves. Statements like, “This year went well. This year went badly,” when what went badly are what people do. Even if it went badly, it does not matter if the person is honest and obedient to Allah and compliant with Hazrat Prophet. These are exterior appearances and they cause you no harm. What is harmful is losing your hereafter.
“Like one night,” He says. Sometimes a person sleeps for one night. What is meant by Duha is mid-morning which is a little longer, and the person does not wake up 7 o’clock but at 10. When they wake up they will say, “Good gracious! How did it happen? Did Judgment Day occur?” This is how it is. Allah created days, years, and time so humans take lesson and make use of them.
Saying things like, “It did not go well. It went badly,” for important and valuable time and throwing the blame on others are the words of foolish people. They do not find the fault in their egos but in other things. “The year went well,” or, “the year went badly,” they say, “this year we did a New Year’s. Oh it was very good. We spent it well. We had lots of fun.” They think the whole year will be like this. There is no such thing. There is no relationship whatsoever. Let people fix themselves, look at themselves, and never
find fault in anything else. People should perform their worship and seek refuge in Allah. Those who seek refuge in Allah fear nothing.
There, storm, rain, mud, snow, and ruckus outside. Does anything happen if a person stays at home? No, nothing happens. There, this year and other years are the same way. If you fix yourself, hell could be breaking outside and nothing would happen to you. Or it would not affect your hereafter too and you would be in safety. What we mean by safety is saving your faith. Those exterior factors would have no effect on you.
We need to be careful of this. We need to take lesson from what is being done, from occurring events, and from what they call the New Year. Do not find fault in anything. Strengthen your iman and nothing would affect you Allah willing. May Allah strengthen our faith. May our iman be strong InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
9.THE BAD WORD REDUCES QUALITY Monday, 2 January 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

It is the advice of Shaykh Mawlana, as our Holy Prophet says, “Show people the good path and do not spend much time with what does not concern you.” If someone attacks you verbally, there is no need to answer them in the same manner. Doing so reduc
