Suhbah 2017: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (3/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5477
atever Allāh gives, we don't object. The best thing to do is to be thankful, content with what Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us. It is a very high station. Very few people reach that station. If normal people want, if they use their brains they can reach the station of riḍā. No objections. Accepting and thanking whatever Allāh gives. If you object it isn't wise to object Allāh, be against Allāh. Some people object Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla excessively.
Some object without being aware by complaining. They also have to be careful. Most people do it. But people, who reaches the station of contentment are peaceful. They left all their affairs to Allāh. Ḥasbuna Llāhu wa ni‘ma l-wakīl. Allāh is our Disposer of affairs. We want it or not, He is doing it. So, it is wise to be content. The saints also have some degrees. There are saints, on the station of contentment. They accepted everything coming from Allāh. They don't object to anything.
Because Allāh gives people what they deserve. They don't interfere with good or bad. They don't pray for anyone. They are so content that they don't pray for this or that. They don't pray for anyone. They accept everything as it is. They are on a very high station. They are in a different spiritual state. Normal saints still pray. May Allāh give good life, good business, good health, welfare" they pray. The other type of saints don't even pray for the storm to stop even if people will drown. They are pure, it means they reached reality. They know better if it is good or bad. That's why they don't interfere with good or bad. We can't be like them but if we are in the station of contentment. It is enough. If you aren't in the station of contentment even if they give you the world, you still won't be content or satisfied. May Allāh make us reach that station, in shā’a Llāh.
The highest station for human being is the stage of accepting. Riḍā, riḍā liLlāh; to be accept what Allāh give us and not object. If you object... Many people, most of, majority of people they are, nobody accept. Nobody is in this station. Very very few people, they are in this accepting maqāmu r-riḍā, in acceptance stage. And it is for who is thinking and he is, many people they are thinking "We are clever" not accepting anything. But no, it is opposite. Who accepts and is to be in this stage, he is the clever one.
Because everything from Allāh. And He give us what He wants. And when you object, you'll be... Some people have different levels for objecting. Sometimes some people they are directly not accepting, even they not accept Creator. Some of them accept. But what? "Our life is not so good. We want to be better. We can... Maybe going to Europe we can be better." But no, if you give him not Europe, give him whole world, also this will not be satisfaction, satisfied with what his he has. He want more and more and he not accept.
But to be happy, you. This is station accepting anything Allāh give you, it is make you happy. And there is a kind of beloved people for Allāh, Awliyā’u Llāh. Some kind of them, they are in this high station, not objecting for anything, even not making du‘ā’ "Allāh give us this... Make this, make that. We want this". Not making. Just making thanking for God and not doing anything, accept anything. Only what He ﷻ done, He's happy with this. They are happy with this and not mixing with people also.
There is a kind of these Awliyā’u Llāh also. But others... This is a few of them Awliyā’u Llāh like this. But others they can make du‘ā’. But this is, I am give an example for them. Even if somebody dies in a storm in the sea, They are not looking for this. This is from Allāh also, they said. This is His... No need to make du‘ā’ for them. Like this. Because they are accepting good and bad. Everything Allāh He planning, the best planner. And they are accepting this. For people now, this Mawlānā every time he was shouting for democracy.
This democracy's, this is the first thing to make you not accept anything. And philosophy also, they are not accepting anybody, not accepting anything all time objection. But our way to be happy here and hereafter, to be accept and to be in peace. Allāh make us to accept everything, in shā’Allāh, in shā’Allāh, give us good thing We make du‘ā’ but, al- ḥamdu li-Llāh.

21.SHYNESS IS FROM BELIEF Sunday, 22 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.
When people do something bad or something not good they are ashamed most of the time. "Shyness is from belief" Allāh ‘Azza wa jalla says through ḥadīth of our Prophet. Shyness is from belief. So if there is shyness it is from belief. Now they do all sorts of disgrace. People used to be ashamed. Now they make it look as if it is normal. It is more widespread among disbelievers. Whatever the disbelievers do they say it is 'human nature'. It is none of your business.
These dirty people say it is human nature. However Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created shyness. So that you could be shy from those bad things and don't do it. Shayṭān made it in such a way so that it shows everything as permissible in the end of times. Saying; "It is human nature. He has to do it. He should not reject it. He should do whatever his ego says." There is no such thing in Islām. It isn't human nature, it is the ego.
The ego wants every badness. If you do whatever the ego tells you you will be disgraced. Allāh disgraces you. Allāh is Sattār. When you do a bad deed, He doesn't want it to be seen among people. You make a mistake, you should repent because of your mistake. It isn't good to show everyone. Allāh hides you. You should confess you committed a sin and repent. Sin is never permissible. It is not in human nature.
There is no permission to commit sin. Don't ever listen to heedless people and do bad things. Don't commit sins. They'll be accounted for. Believers are ashamed of it. Whoever has no belief, has no shame. They don't have shame. So Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla through our Prophet says; "Shyness is from belief." We see it, it is obvious. We see it clearly, people who don't believe in Allāh or the Prophet, they follow their egos. Whoever follows his ego has no value. May Allāh not let us follow our ego. If we follow our ego, we will be disgraced. May Allāh protect. May Allāh protect us from our ego, and not disgrace us, in shā’a Llāh, here or hereafter. Being disgraced here is easier than hereafter. It is worse to be disgraced in hereafter. May Allāh protect us.
To do good things, it is an order, Allāh's order, and Prophet saying every good thing, nobody can be ashamed with good things he does. And to behave shy and to be afraid
from to do bad things, it is from īmān, from belief of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Believers, they are people they are shying, ashamed. Shy and ashamed. To do bad things, they cannot do. But these days we are seeing, especially in Western countries every bad thing, it is allowed. Even they encourage to do this.
Governments, people, all they are saying "This is nature of human being. They can do as they like. And it is, no, don't be ashamed of what you are doing. It is normal for you. You can do this thing which even animals cannot do. You do your... It is Coming from your nature. So you can do, what you like to do, don't be ashamed. We are... If anybody saying anything, by law, we are after you. Don't be afraid, don't be ashamed. Do what your ego likes to do. Do." This is a top of shayṭānic kingdom.
It is now end of time. And it must be like this. To change this, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to not give any chance for them to say "We were ashamed. We were not doing bad thing" Allāh give chance. And these people they say "We don't want". Even they are not believers. Because if they have belief, they cannot do this. To be shy and to be ashamed, it is from belief. If you believe in Allāh youhave shame. But if you are not, only you are just you are coming like animal. Even animal is better than these people. So it is a good thing you must keep.
Don't do bad things. To be ashamed to do good things, don't be ashamed. Be ashamed from bad things. And it is really, if some believer doing something wrong, they are really very ashamed. They are afraid to be open for people to know this. They try to keep it secret. And it is order also. Prophet if you do something wrong and you are.. don't make it commonly, don't open for common people. It is making you worse. If you keep it secret, Allāh keep it secret from everybody also. You are ashamed you are doing this, Allāh we saying "Oh Lord, don't let me be ... exposed. Don't make me exposed in front of people, don't expose me." Allāh, His name is Sattār, meaning is closed The Veiler.
But not like these people, they are doing wrong things and encouraging people "No, you must do this also. You are.. Your nature.. It is nature. Don't believe in anything. Only believe in nature And your nature ordering you to not marry, to not be with.. to bring children, don't make good for people. Only think for yourself. This is their nature. Maybe it's for real in their nature. But it is not order of Allāh. Allāh orders to fight your ego and to be in right way.
Nature is to marry man and woman, to bring, make a good generation, to be family, to be... This is coming from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, until now like this. But this they are, maybe just 20 years beginning to not accept this. You must marry man to man, woman to woman. Why? After, what is this? Rubbish. And if we say in Europe for this, maybe they put you in jail. Like this. It is shayṭānic only. Shame [is] from belief.
To be ashamed, to be shy is from belief. So don't be afraid if you are "I am shy." If you have shy and shame, you are believer. Allāh keep us from our bad ego and these bad people and shayṭān and his followers.
Al-Fatiha.
22.THE REWARD OF A 100 MARTYRS Sunday, 22 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.
The way of our Holy Prophet is a beautiful way and every beauty is in it. To follow our Holy Prophet is both a farz (obligation) and a sunna (tradition). We are performing the farz Alhamdulillah. Even though most people are not performing the sunna, there are many who are performing it. Of course those who are not performing are more, but that is a different matter. For those who are doing good, it says “Ziyadatul khayri khayr”. The more you do good the better it is for you. You are doing the farz. Do the sunna too. It is a sunna to do whatever our Holy Prophet did, to follow him, and to do what he did.
Our Holy Prophet says about each sunna performed in End Times: “There is a reward of a 100 martyrs for keeping one sunna alive and continuing at it.” What we mean by sunna is not just sunna prayers. It is everything he did. Even entering the mosque with the right foot is a sunna. Exiting with the left foot is a sunna. In fact, even combing with the intention of our Holy Prophet is a sunna. Because combing, combing the beard and hair was a sunna of our Holy Prophet. We are already doing this. If you say, “I make intention for the sunna,” it will give you the reward of a 100 martyrs. It is also a sunna if you wear a turban or a skullcap on your head instead of praying bareheaded. For the sunnas and the recommended (mustahabs) of ablution Allah rewards them all the reward of a 100 martyrs. One martyr will intercede on behalf of 70 people. Think what a great generosity of Allah Azza wa Jalla this is. He gives so much rewards for following His Prophet, His Beloved. Do not let the sunnas be forgotten. Do not believe so called scholars (alims) who say, “There is no need for this sunna!” Certainly try to do our Holy Prophet’s sunnas as much as possible. As we said, no matter how much you take from the good, Allah does not say do not take. He says take. Take more. Take as much as you want. It is up to each person now and they take as much as they like. If they say they do not want anymore, alright you take as much as you want. But if you like, you can take all and Allah Azza wa Jalla does not says no. That time Allah would be more content with us. May Allah be content with all of us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
23.YOU ARE NOT CREATED FOR FUN Monday, 23 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.
Thanks to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla we came together with our brothers again. It is livened up with the love of Allāh, the Prophet and Mawlānā. It is overflowing. Mankind is created not for this world but for the hereafter. Happy are those, who know it. People think they will live without dying. Ignorant people around the world, inside and outside Muslim countries they think it is forever.
But I look and I see there is an imām, ḥāfiẓ he says "ilá nihāya". There is an end, we want it to continue until the end. When is the end? The end of the world is Qiyāmah. There is no eternal life in this world. They say "forever". There is nothing eternal, forever in this world. Everything has an end in this world. There is an end to good. There is an end to bad. Since the time of Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām 124,000 prophets came to this world. They all ended up in this world. Of course there are prophets that are alive. That's another subject.
The thing is that everyone finished their lives on this world. Through Azrael ‘alayhis- salām. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla appointed him to end the worldly life of human beings. To start the next life. That's Azrael ‘alayhi s-salām's duty. The prophets (as) are priviliged in Allāh's presence. They are sent to people as a torch. People of this world say "forever" because they do not think at all. They say they are going to live forever. They panic when something happens. How can it be?
There is chaos. There is unrest, war, this and that. They want everything to continue peacefully. They aren't aware how much things have changed since Ādam ‘alayhi s- salām, until now. Thousands of years passed. Nothing stays the same. Constantly changing. This is Allāh's will to show people. But people still don't learn a lesson. They don't become wiser. The only thing that doesn't change in this world is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla the creator of this universe. Never changes. Everyone changes except Him. Our Prophet changed his world also. It is a change. He left us physically. But he says; "I'm Ḥayyun yurzaq". He is alive. "He gets rizq" Prophet says. The saints and martyrs are also like that. All. But the important point is that they don't stay in this world. They are gone.
Because it is Allāh's order, it has to be like this. All living beings will slowly leave. The tombs of the good ones are also beautiful. Everybody knows how beautiful they were in this world. When they are transferred to hereafter their tombs are holy. They give peace. They give beauty to this world. Beauty comes from them. They are beautiful here, hereafter, on the day of judgement, on maḥshar, in paradise also. May Allāh keep us with them. What a beautiful grant has it been for us to be with them.
People don't like change. They say nostalgia, remember old days. They inwardly sigh. Some people sigh for this world. some remember the times, they spent with holy ones. "We had such beautiful days" they say. In shā’a Llāh we'll have beautiful days in the next life as well. Because you'll be with the ones you love. But this is Allāh's will. It is in nobody's power. Nobody can give an extra breath to someone. Allāh appointed a certain time. We were together during that time we got their barakah. Now their spiritual barakah is stronger, more powerful. They give a lot of gifts to those, who come here. But for people, who are elsewhere but they remember them with love, respect, longing they give gifts to them as well.
We hear that people, who come to visit Mawlānā had been gifted in dreams. If they have a difficulty, with their barakah and their grants it is solved. They are supporting. Thanks to Allāh. May Allāh make our love permanent, in shā’Allāh. May we continue in their ways. Alḥamdu liLlāh we are happy again we meet with our brothers, murīd and sisters. All they are welcome to Mawlānā's place. Mawlānā place, it is light. And every good thing in his place as he was. And we are missing Mawlānā. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are knowing this; what we are living in this world, it is from Allāh. And He... He is the Creator and He do what He likes. He has created from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now thousands of years. And it is changing. Everything changing. Nothing can be same forever.
Ignorant people, they are saying forever. But knowledgeable people... Because since childhood everywhere we go, every country, "This country it will be forever." Everywhere in the world. Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, England, Germany, everywhere they are saying forever.
But I was realizing. We have imām in Istanbul. And he says until the end. He said when [he] makes du‘ā’ "Allāh keep us like this until end." What meaning? Meaning there is end for everything in this life. Our life, nothing forever. You must change. You must have end. And then beginning to next life. From Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until Prophet 124,000 prophets coming. All of them, nobody lived forever except some of them.
Now they are in life like Idrīs ‘alayhi s-salām, Ilyās ‘alayhi s-salām, Khiḍr ‘alayhi s-salām, ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām. But they also, they will be near Qiyāmah, they will be also the end for them also. What is end for this life? Death. And the death, Allāh make created great
angel ‘Izrā’īl. What in English? Right same? Azrael. And he is... His job [is] only to take people to [the] next life. Because without doing this you cannot live forever. This life only... They have end for everything.
Nothing forever, like these ignorant people saying forever. No. Forever only you must change your vehicle and going to another. So every prophet, they have [to make] this also. They change. For our Prophet, of course, he said "I am alive. I am... I get rizq also." But the first thing, Azrael ‘alayhi s-salām he took permission from him "O you can give me permission to take your soul for next life" he gave him permission because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla even for this ‘Izrā’īl to make show our people, show human beings how to behave, to be respectful to Prophet. And he take his amānah, after Prophet again he is in life and he get rizq. This is also showing that nothing forever in this world.
Everything changing in this world. Nothing become same. Only Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla not changing. And it is for good people, for bad people also changing. But for good people, changing better for them. Of course, not better for people around. Because when some holy man or scholar or good man dies, Prophet [said:] there is big hole in this. Cannot fill it until Qiyāmah. But it is Allāh's order. So it is like this.
You accept or not accept, it is like this. But [it is] important to know in this world everything changing. You can't do anything. We are helpless. But we are accepting and be pleased. You do this and you are believer, not like who are not believer, they like to be everything like [in] old times. But it is since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now trouble whole century, whole history, always fighting, killing. Nothing be as people they like. And people they like, they said "We like peace". Ok, you like peace. But you are doing wrong for other people. It is also...
You cannot be forever like this. It will be changed. And people nowadays, they are remembering "Old times, old good days". Nostalgia they said, I think something like this. All people who are for material people or religious people, we also, we are many times we are remembering with Mawlānā, how he is going around us, how he was going, we are happy following him. This is good nostalgia, good remembering to remember good people. Even it is worship.
Prophet "Inda dhikri ṣ-ṣāliḥīn tanzilu r-raḥmah" When you remember good people, holy people, Allāh make peace on you. But what we do? We are al-ḥamdu liLlāh these people, when they are changing [from] this world, they have their maqām, their grave what they are burying. We are going, visiting them. We get mercy. We get blessed from them. And they are beautiful when they are in life. And they are also very beautiful in their maqām. And they are generous. When you visit them, they are happy. And when you remember them from far away also, they are very happy. And they are giving you blessed.
And especially Mawlānā, he was happy with his murīds and followers. And when they are coming, he is happy also. He [would] not let them to go without giving them what they need. And he is even going all around [to see] murīds and even non-murīds. Too many people, they are coming, they are saying "We saw one Shaykh in our dream. He asked us to go to that side". Many people, thousands of like this people, they are coming and following and joining in, coming to ṭarīqah through Mawlānā. Because his power [is] still on. His material life is finished.
But spiritually he is alive also. And he is happy with people coming and we are happy with him. And we are following order of Allāh, not objecting.
Don't object. Because time like this, it is hard time. But when you are knowing nothing going forever like this, it will be good for you. Because changing coming, it will come light, light of Islām on whole world. But not like with these rubbish people who are claiming they will bring, they are now they are oppressors, they are even they don't know anything from Islām. Islām with mercy. And it will be whole world Islām in shā’a Llāh with Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
And it looks like [it is] time of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. Because it's too heavy for everybody. Every people, everybody in this world, you feel people they are not happy. Believer or nonbeliever, all they are in very anxious, very bad mood, stressed. They are knowing something will happen. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are knowing it will be changing, but for good. For whole human being it will be good.

24.THE VALUE OF BEING MUSLIM
Monday, 23 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.
Thank Allah we are living in a Muslim country. Meaning most of the people are Muslim, and those who say they are not Muslim are very few. They are few, but those who appreciate and know the value of this blessing are also few. They get along as Muslim but do not know its worth. Its value is huge.
We do not appreciate our own worth and this value given by Allah. We do not see it, and when we do not see it we attempt to imitate others. Whereas people we attempt to immitate do things that have no benefit, useless things.
We are throwing away jewels, taking glass and fake stones, and wearing them on ourselves thinking they are more beautiful. Allah has given us the real jewels. He gave us those jewels in every sense and we do not know its value. We are being deceived and it is being taken from our hands, or even if they are not taking it, we are throwing it in the garbage.
The religion of Islam is the most beautiful religion. There is everything in it. The Glorious Koran is essential. “Ulumal Awwalina wal Akhirin”: all the knowledge in the world is in it. We take inspiration (fayd) from it. It has both external and internal inspirations.
People do things not ordered by Allah and think they have accomplished something. Other than these worships, other than the sunna of Hazrat Prophet (SAW), and other than what is shown by Islam, the things being done will have no benefit to humans. Even if it is not harmful, it will not be beneficial either. But most of the time it becomes harmful.
Therefore, we need to be careful and do everything we do with consideration. Otherwise, as we said, its harm would overcome its benefit. May Allah grant us to see the good Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.DO NOT INTERFERE IN EVERYTHING Tuesday, 24 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.
Our Holy Prophet says: “It is from the beauty of being Muslim for a person to leave what does not concern oneself.” All of our Holy Prophet’s advice and hadiths are beautiful, and this is one of them. No problems would be left if people did this anyway. The sign of a person being a good Muslim is not to deal with things that do not concern oneself. Now Mashallah, everybody knows everything. People have become knowit-all and are interfering in everything. “This needs to be like this, and that needs to be like that. This administration cannot go on like this, and that hodja should not do like that.” They interfere in everything, give an opinion, and do not like it. What our Holy Prophet is saying: Allah has created you for a job, He made it easy for you, you can only do that, and you will be at ease when you do it. Now you are not only not doing the job you are supposed to be doing, you are interfering in others’ business. That is why you are being useless, and you are being uncomfortable and uneasy. You need to look. You need to follow whatever business you are good at. You can say, “This is that man’s job. He knows it. It would not be right for us to interfere in that work,” and you are at ease. If not, if you think about interfering in everything, this time you are upset for it supposedly not being done as you wanted and you curse it. This is a beautiful saying of our Holy Prophet. It is not only for us here, but applies to the whole Islamic world and to the whole world. The person should do whatever Allah has made available for the person. Humankind can change places, lift mountains, build hills, and do everything but people cannot change their habits and cannot change their capability. Therefore, we need to pay attention to this and not interfere in everything. Do what you know. The administration knows its job, the state knows its job, the doctor knows his job, the architect knows her job. Do not interfere in their business because you do not know. Look at what you know and be at ease. What everybody needs to do is obey the commands of Allah. Everyone can do this. You do not interfere in anything other than this and be at ease.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
26.MARRIAGE IS A FOUNDATION OF ISLAM Friday, 27 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.
People love comfort. People love being comfortable. Things won't go as you like if you are too comfortable. You have to work and put in an effort. People in the old days twenty, thirty or forty years ago people weren't as comfortable as today. But still they were trying and living. Now people think they can't live without this luxury. "We can't manage. How will we do? How will we be comfortable without these devices?"
We say "May Allāh continue His blessings." They are Allāh's blessing. He gives us better things. We have to thank Him in return. Because when we don't thank and when we say "This is our right, we deserve it," it isn't good when we are not being thankful. Because blessings increase by being thankful. But people today say it is their right. There is a group saying "We take it by force." You can't play with Allāh. Allāh takes what's in your hand. You will lose what's in your hand.
Today people don't know how to appreciate blessings. They object to Allāh without knowing or knowing. There are also family matters, people are so comfortable that they don't have money or any other problems. The wife doesn't love her husband anymore. "I will get a divorce" she says. We hear it a lot nowadays. They say; "There is no love anymore." What can we do? Should we buy it in market? It isn't sold in the market. You are married. You lived together all these years. You won't live forever.
You already lived 15, 20, 30 years. Sometimes after 50 years, they want to divorce. This is because of comfort. Nothing else. They don't have any other problem. "Love is gone". This world isn't paradise. You'll surely have a problem no matter how wealthy you are or how healthy you are. Nobody is comfortable in this world. Saying so, and forgetting ākhirah comes from unbelief. In the past, people used to get married without seeing each other with arranged marriages. Still they would manage.
Now people choose their spouse themselves after living together for years they say "love is gone". We heard this from foreign people in the past. It means they were more comfortable than us.
They said "Love is gone". They don't have spirituality they leave and go immediately. This is a new fashion in the Muslim world also, "Love is gone". You'll love Allāh in a home without love. Let Allāh love you. Give thanks for Allāh's blessings. He protected you. You have children. Your husband meets your needs; your food and drink. You don't have any other right.
There is a saying of the Prophet; "Both Allāh and the Prophet won't look at such people, who want to get a divorce without a reason. Because marriage is one of the foundations of Islām and it is considered holy. Because family is important. Marriage is important. Divorce is the ḥalāl, that is least liked. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Aṭ-ṭalāq abghaḍu l-ḥalāl. Getting a divorce is the ḥalāl that Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla likes least. So Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla doesn't like divorce. Some people don't even have a valid reason. They say "love is gone". It's not a game. It is an important thing. Because in the end of times, there is a lot of fitnah. This family institution is a holy home. It is an institution, that Allāh and the Prophet likes.
Shayṭān, the ego and these useless people are trying to destroy it. Both sides should manage marriage carefully. There is blessing for them. They'll be Allāh's and Prophet's beloved servants. These people built a new home. They keep their homes in the way of our Prophet. It is a great blessing and honour for them both. They should keep this in mind so that these small things don't bother them, not to cheat them. They won't be cheated by shayṭān. They don't follow their egos.
There are arguments in every family. Even twins argue. Conflict isn't easy. Leave that, sometimes you even fight with yourself. If we fight should we strangle or kill each other or should we seperate? No. You'll make peace after some time and manage. "Wa ṣ-ṣulḥu khayr." (4:128) Managing this marriage institution in a nice way, having children, grandchildren. We should pray that everything is for the way of Allāh. When you do this, be in the way of Allāh. Allāh protects them. Because there is a lot of fitnah.
Now it is the darkest times of fitnah. So, divorcing and leaving children isn't a good thing. You need to make a sacrifice. You make a sacrifice for Allāh's sake. Allāh surely gives its reward to that person. It is a test in this world but in the end, He gives its reward here and hereafter. So, be careful. It isn't good to quickly leave and go. May Allāh give everyone blessed families, in shā’a Llāh. May the families not be destroyed, in shā’a Llāh. May good generations comes out of the families, in shā’a Llāh.
We are saying human being, they like to have a nice life, not to be tired, to be all time with luxury. Luxury it is the most thing human beings love. And they are used to it very easily. To have happy life and to be in luxury, it is for everyone, they love [it], they like [it]. And [in] this time we are looking and seeing before 30, 40 years ago, how it was. the world and the countries, they were poor. And they didn't have many things [that] we
have now. Sometimes maybe people they said "If we live like last [that] life, it is too difficult"
Because to get used to luxury, it is easy. But to [get] used to not luxury, it is difficult after you have luxury life. And we are - we must be thankful for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Because He gives us. Of course, whole world [is be]coming like this. But also we must be thankful for Allāh.
Because He makes our life easy. And people, they are. "No", they said "This is our right". They are not thanking Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They say "This is our right. We must get it. We must have good life, luxury life, nice life. It is our right. Even we must grab it."
No, there is sometimes making demonstration "This our right. We must grab it" and [they are] shouting No, you cannot grab this. Allāh He will grab your thing from - you cannot be You must be all [the] time happy with what Allāh gives you. We must be thankful. And we must be asking more [and] not forgetting Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Now the people they are real[ly] very rest [relaxed]. And many things they don't have to think from how to live, how to manage to be in good life.
These, all people now they have, they now have another problem. What is this problem? We hear every time. Sometimes coming woman. Wife or sometimes coming man. He said... Because too much luxury and they have everything, what is now [the] problem? "My love finished for my husband." How many years you are married? "I'm married 15 years." Some of them 20 years, 30 years. What will be? Where they can sell this love? we can buy for you to continue? This is real[ly] ridiculous. Before [we] were hearing this in Western people. Because they don't have any spiritual power or spiritual life. They are finished, OK. Finished, finished. They have - it is normal for them, even they are not married.
So for Muslims to say this, it is [a] real problem with their belief. Even [if] they are praying, they are fasting, they are doing everything. But when they say this, it is [that] they have īmān, very few. Low īmān. Low belief. Old time people, their family they bring for them a wife or husband. And they are not looking until the wedding. They see not. And they were happy. They accept this. And this is - marriage we are accepting. We are following sunnah of Prophet order of Allāh.
We must be happy. But now they are thinking after 30 years of marriage. He beat you? "No." He bite you? "No" And he not bringing for you? "No, no. Everything we have." But what happened? "Love, we don't have." This love, of course after 20 years, 30 years, it's OK, normal. You'll be same [are] used to it. From where you bring this idea? Maybe looking too much for TV movie. This is craziness. So it is, they think they will live forever.
No, maybe after 10 years, 20 years also you will be die and finish. You must be patient. You must be not thinking for this. You must use your brain also sometimes. It is impossible to be [your] whole life like before married you love and you fall in love. No, it's OK. They love but not like first time. No, it's ok. Life [is] going. Everything going. So, just you continue, accept this, make thank for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla "I have this good marriage and have children and have everything." Just be married, happy.
Because marriage, [the] marriage institution, it is very important in Islām. It is the base for Islām. Because of this, Prophet every time was encouraging people to marry and to make good house, good home from one two, second like this, making strong base for Islām, marriage. You must think for this. Not only you think for yourself for your ego. Love only for your ego. Love not for you, not for your husband; for Allāh, for Prophet. It is enough. Other loves finish.
But when they are not treating you bad, giving everything what you said this love, this is real[ly], you are under control of shayṭān and your ego. You must be patient. You must be happy with Allāh. For family also, they must accept this and don't make problems for people. There is many making sometimes between mother and the wife. They are making problem. But it is normal. So not make it big for man or for others. No, you must make it calming down.
Because divorce it is ḥalāl. But it is the most disliked for Allāh, for Prophet. Islām not like Christians, [where] you cannot divorce. You [can] divorce but it is very bad, not acceptable, not looking good for this. But for family, it must be making effort between wife and husband. Because if divorce, there is children; it will break this society also, Islāmic society. Not good. Of course, two people every time some - Nobody in this world [is] happy forever.
Even you have, you are rich, you have health, wealth and everything, but this dūnya it is test, a place of test. So don't think what you are looking in television, all people, they are happy. What we see, it is all lie. All lie, cheating people. So to be two people, they are wife and man, sometimes making arguing, sometimes they agree for each other, sometimes someone angry. But after it will be OK also. Because two people, they have different habit. Even sometimes a person he is fighting with himself. It is real, not only for two people. So don't put blame for others.
Every time you think for your marriage to be continue, and to accept, to be accepted in the Divine Presence. Because this is test. And this, Allāh making this for us. We are not living forever. We must accept this. If we [do] not accept this, Allāh He can give us worse than this test. So don't think for if you do this, you will get better. No, you are same person. Another coming, maybe worse than first one. We must continue to be, give strong society, Islāmic.
Everywhere where you are living, in everywhere in the world you must be thinking for your family, your children to be, give them good example. The best thing to teach; [is] to do same what you are saying. If you're doing same thing, people they are learning from you, not only from talking. Talking coming from this ear, going from other ear. But when you are doing what is good, people also they are following you. Allāh make us in right way, in shā’Allāh. Allāh save us from shayṭān and our ego, in shā’Allāh.

27.BE BELOVED FOR ALLAH Saturday, 28 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.
Try to be from Allāh's beloved servants. So Allāh loves you. Allāh's beloved servants are the saints. Saint mean Allāh's beloved servants. Everybody expects to make miracles when they become saints. Saying "I'll be a saint, I'll make miracles." Many people think about this. Sainthood isn't like that. Sainthood is for Allāh's sake. Not for ranks, this and that. After being a beloved of Allāh you don't think about being given miracles, etc.
But Allāh gives them some things to please them. Because Allāh protects the servant, whom He loves. "He is my friend, beloved servant". If people harm them, there is a ḥadith qudsī; "Man ‘ādá lī wa-liyyan faqad ādhantuhu bi-lḥarb." "Whoever is an enemy of my saint is an enemy of Me." says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla in a ḥadith qudsī. Whoever is an enemy of Me surely arrows of revenge hit him" says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. That's why ordinary people think that saints have karāmah. Anyone may be Allāh's beloved servant. The more your faith increases the more you'll be beloved by Allāh. Train yourself, with good manners, whoever has good manners is from Allāh's beloved servants. Allāh doesn't like who? "Fa-inna l-laha lā yuḥibbu l-kāfirān." (3:32). Lā yuḥibbu l-fāsiqīn. He doesn't like non believers. He doesn't like people, who do bad. Now some philosophers come out. They say "Allāh loves everyone". It isn't up to you.
Allāh doesn't do what you want, Allāh does what He likes. Allāh may love or not. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla showed both ways. You may be a beloved servant. You may not be a beloved. Try to be from beloved servants so that your ākhirah, end is good. You'll be peaceful in the world also. No matter how much suffering he has, if he is a beloved servant of Allāh he is at peace, he is happy. If it is the opposite even if he looks as if he is at peace, he is not peaceful at heart. He is not at ease. May we be from Allāh's beloved servants, in shā’a Llāh. We are trying in this world to be happy. And happiness [is] to be a friend of Allāh, beloved for Allāh. To be beloved for Allāh, it is what we say Awliyā’u Llāh. These, they are beloved people for Allāh . They say for them 'saint.' But there is of course Awliyā’u Llāh who are high degree. And everybody can be beloved for Allāh Awliyā’u Llāh. But people, they are coming asking to be Awliyā’u Llāh, beloved for Allāh . But when even they are coming for this, they are mixing everything. And then, after they say "We are coming to be Awliyā’u Llāh".
Even I hear in some country, [in] East Asia. There is advertisement they say "After one year, we make you Awliyā’u Llāh". It is funny because to be Awliyā’u Llāh... Why [do] they want to be Awliyā’u Llāh? To make miracles, to be [say] "We have karāmah", to be famous between people. This is all rubbish what they are thinking. To be Awliyā’u Llāh, you mustn't think at all about this. Only what you must think to be Allāh happy with you. If you are looking to be Allāh's friend and you get benefit like you are friend of president, you can take money from government, take money from everywhere, it is wrong idea what he thinking. From [the] beginning, it is wrong. Your intention it must be pure and not thinking for any benefit for world, dūnya. Only what you want to be Allāh happy with you. It is the highest maqām. If He is happy with us, "It is enough for me" you must say. Because everything under this, it is not good, no value. Only one value to be Allāh happy with you, Allāh to love you, to like you, to help you. When He love you, He help you.
Because He said, Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla, Jalla Sha’nuhu, "Who I love him, I am defender for him. Who attack him, he attack Me ". And "Man ‘ādá lī wa-liyyan faqad ādhantuhu bilḥarb." "Who declare war against saints, I declare war for them". This is what we must be happy with this. Because He defend for us and He is happy with us. Not to look for small thing. It is the most honorable thing, Allāh to be happy with you, to love you. There is many people now coming for famous, to have fame, to have different things for people to say. Allāh loves all people. Allāh He said "I love and I don't love. I not love who are kāfir." In Qur’ān He said. But these people, they make philosophy. And they're saying Allāh. No, you cannot interfere with Allāh , He is the Lord. And He is justice. You can be His beloved one. And you can be what He hate you. Because you do wrong thing, you do bad thing, He is not happy. If you do good thing, He love you and He accept you and He is happy with you. This is very important.
Because people, they said No, He love everybody. Of course He love everybody and He give chance for everybody to be beloved for Him , not beloved for shayṭān. So try to be beloved for Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla. In shā’a Llāh, not mixing anything with this love. Because if you are not mixing, you get everything, every good thing without asking. But if you mix from before "I will be beloved for Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla and I will get this and get that", so you cannot even get beloved for Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla. Allāh make us all beloved for Him , in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
28.WORK AS IF YOU LIVE FOREVER Sunday, 29 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.
Our Prophet says; don't be too hopeful saying ṭūlu l-amal in this world. Don't think "I'll do this and that." You go on the right path. It isn't certain when death comes. Again Our Prophet says; "Work as if you'll never die. Even if tomorrow is the end of the world if you have a tree to plant, plant it." And then also work as if you'll die tomorrow. If you have one day left to live you try to do good or charity. Make such an effort" says our Prophet.
Don't say; "I'll live longer. I'll do it later. I'll do my duties later, I'll pray later" says our Prophet; don't leave for later. Because how long we will live only Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla knows. Nobody else. Now, people don't ever think about it. Everybody is worried about this world. No need to be worried. Our Prophet showed us the best example; himself.
The companions also showed the right path. What is in this world? In the end everyone will die there is nothing else to do. There was one foreigner here who was very ill. People were worried "What will we do if he dies here?". Ḥajjah Anne, may she rest in peace, she also had a sense of humor like Mawlānā. She said "We'll bury whoever dies". That's it. Nothing else to do. Death comes to everyone. That's why we have to build our ākhirah. The companions loved death. Why? To reach our Prophet Ḥz Bilāl Ḥabashī was on his deathbed. His family was crying. He was happy. He was reading a poem. "ghadan alqa l-aḥabba Muḥammadun wa ṣaḥbah ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam." Tomorrow I'll meet my friends. He was happy that he would meet the Prophet and the companions. So, if you build up your ākhirah you won't be afraid. Whatever Allāh gives, you live happily. And die happily.
Like we said at the beginning of the ṣuḥbah People say "It is approaching, we don't do anything. We sit and wait for Mahdī (as) to appear. Then we'll have wealth and happiness. We don't do anything now" they think. Our Prophet doesn't want this. You should work. You should put an effort. You should pray. You ask for worldly provision. If it is for Allāh's sake it is also worshipping. It isn't good to leave everything sitting, doing nothing. You say "I'll do this, that". Of course you can make a plan. But don't say it incomplete: I will do this. You should say "In shā’a Llāh". If Allāh wills.
We're planning to do this in one month. We'll go there in two months. If Allāh wills, in shā’a Llāh, If not, it won't. Nothing is certain. When we say, in shā’a Llāh people think we don't care. No. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla should want it, so it will be. It isn't with my or your will. "Wa-lā taqūlanna lishay’in innī fā‘ilun dhālika ghadan illā an yashā’Allāh." (18:23-24) "Don't say I'll do this tomorrow". Jews had some questions, they came to the Prophet. "I'll tell you tomorrow" he said. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla didn't give him the answer for one month to give a lesson for us. Even though he was a prophet. Our Prophet is excluded from mistakes. He is innocent, he doesn't make mistakes. So this happened to be a lesson for the ummah. If Allāh wants, everything happens. No other way.
May Allāh, in shā’Allāh, make us follow the Prophet and the mashāyikhs footsteps. May Allāh not destine anything else.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying for Ummah: you must work as [if] you are not will die, [as if] you will live forever. And you must think, make your ‘ibādah, your worshipping as [if] you are dying tomorrow. This is everything Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he saying, it is top of knowledge and top of wisdom. Because many people, even they have the ability to do something, they are saying "We are waiting. Qiyāmah; it's very near. No need to do anything." Just waiting.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he is showing us to not be lazy and not be depending on something you are not knowing it. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, He knows everything. But we don't know. Everything He is knowing. So He created us to continue our life, to do everything normally. And it is more difficult. Easy to sit and not do anything. We are waiting for Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām We are waiting for armageddon. No need to do anything. It is not from teaching of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
You must work, you must do everything as normal. But your belief must be as it is like it will happen tomorrow. Like Mawlānā Shaykh was saying "I was waiting for Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām from morning, [as if in the] evening he is coming. When it's evening, I'm waiting him from [as if] he is coming morning." And he was really sincere and waiting. If you can do this, you are right. But not doing anything, after saying "Oh, I was waiting 50 years. Nothing happened." No, it is... You finish all your what you done 50 years from. Allāh what He grant you from rewards, you will finish in one second. This is teaching for people to be patient and to do what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam ordering. You say like ṣaḥābah "We are waiting to meet Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam" Ṣaḥābah, they was when their death coming or near, they were happy.
Like Sayyidinā Bilāl al-Ḥabashī. He was in last day he was very ill. And his family was crying he was very ill. But they saying he is very happy he is singing, saying poem. Looking what he said. He said ghadan alqa l-aḥabba Muḥammadun ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam wa ṣaḥbah. "Tomorrow I will meet our beloved people, especially Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and his companions."
And he was very happy. This happiness we are, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh giv

atever Allāh gives, we don't object. The best thing to do is to be thankful, content with what Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us. It is a very high station. Very few people reach that station. If normal people want, if they use their brains they can reach the station of riḍā. No objections. Accepting and thanking whatever Allāh gives. If you object it isn't wise to object Allāh, be against Allāh. Some people object Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla excessively.
Some object without being aware by complaining. They also have to be careful. Most people do it. But people, who reaches the station of contentment are peaceful. They left all their affairs to Allāh. Ḥasbuna Llāhu wa ni‘ma l-wakīl. Allāh is our Disposer of affairs. We want it or not, He is doing it. So, it is wise to be content. The saints also have some degrees. There are saints, on the station of contentment. They accepted everything coming from Allāh. They don't object to anything.
Because Allāh gives people what they deserve. They don't interfere with good or bad. They don't pray for anyone. They are so content that they don't pray for this or that. They don't pray for anyone. They accept everything as it is. They are on a very high station. They are in a different spiritual state. Normal saints still pray. May Allāh give good life, good business, good health, welfare" they pray. The other type of saints don't even pray for the storm to stop even if people will drown. They are pure, it means they reached reality. They know better if it is good or bad. That's why they don't interfere with good or bad. We can't be like them but if we are in the station of contentment. It is enough. If you aren't in the station of contentment even if they give you the world, you still won't be content or satisfied. May Allāh make us reach that station, in shā’a Llāh.
The highest station for human being is the stage of accepting. Riḍā, riḍā liLlāh; to be accept what Allāh give us and not object. If you object... Many people, most of, majority of people they are, nobody accept. Nobody is in this station. Very very few people, they are in this accepting maqāmu r-riḍā, in acceptance stage. And it is for who is thinking and he is, many people they are thinking "We are clever" not accepting anything. But no, it is opposite. Who accepts and is to be in this stage, he is the clever one.
Because everything from Allāh. And He give us what He wants. And when you object, you'll be... Some people have different levels for objecting. Sometimes some people they are directly not accepting, even they not accept Creator. Some of them accept. But what? "Our life is not so good. We want to be better. We can... Maybe going to Europe we can be better." But no, if you give him not Europe, give him whole world, also this will not be satisfaction, satisfied with what his he has. He want more and more and he not accept.
But to be happy, you. This is station accepting anything Allāh give you, it is make you happy. And there is a kind of beloved people for Allāh, Awliyā’u Llāh. Some kind of them, they are in this high station, not objecting for anything, even not making du‘ā’ "Allāh give us this... Make this, make that. We want this". Not making. Just making thanking for God and not doing anything, accept anything. Only what He ﷻ done, He's happy with this. They are happy with this and not mixing with people also.
There is a kind of these Awliyā’u Llāh also. But others... This is a few of them Awliyā’u Llāh like this. But others they can make du‘ā’. But this is, I am give an example for them. Even if somebody dies in a storm in the sea, They are not looking for this. This is from Allāh also, they said. This is His... No need to make du‘ā’ for them. Like this. Because they are accepting good and bad. Everything Allāh He planning, the best planner. And they are accepting this. For people now, this Mawlānā every time he was shouting for democracy.
This democracy's, this is the first thing to make you not accept anything. And philosophy also, they are not accepting anybody, not accepting anything all time objection. But our way to be happy here and hereafter, to be accept and to be in peace. Allāh make us to accept everything, in shā’Allāh, in shā’Allāh, give us good thing We make du‘ā’ but, al- ḥamdu li-Llāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
21.SHYNESS IS FROM BELIEF Sunday, 22 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.
When people do something bad or something not good they are ashamed most of the time. "Shyness is from belief" Allāh ‘Azza wa jalla says through ḥadīth of our Prophet. Shyness is from belief. So if there is shyness it is from belief. Now they do all sorts of disgrace. People used to be ashamed. Now they make it look as if it is normal. It is more widespread among disbelievers. Whatever the disbelievers do they say it is 'human nature'. It is none of your business.
These dirty people say it is human nature. However Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created shyness. So that you could be shy from those bad things and don't do it. Shayṭān made it in such a way so that it shows everything as permissible in the end of times. Saying; "It is human nature. He has to do it. He should not reject it. He should do whatever his ego says." There is no such thing in Islām. It isn't human nature, it is the ego.
The ego wants every badness. If you do whatever the ego tells you you will be disgraced. Allāh disgraces you. Allāh is Sattār. When you do a bad deed, He doesn't want it to be seen among people. You make a mistake, you should repent because of your mistake. It isn't good to show everyone. Allāh hides you. You should confess you committed a sin and repent. Sin is never permissible. It is not in human nature.
There is no permission to commit sin. Don't ever listen to heedless people and do bad things. Don't commit sins. They'll be accounted for. Believers are ashamed of it. Whoever has no belief, has no shame. They don't have shame. So Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla through our Prophet says; "Shyness is from belief." We see it, it is obvious. We see it clearly, people who don't believe in Allāh or the Prophet, they follow their egos. Whoever follows his ego has no value. May Allāh not let us follow our ego. If we follow our ego, we will be disgraced. May Allāh protect. May Allāh protect us from our ego, and not disgrace us, in shā’a Llāh, here or hereafter. Being disgraced here is easier than hereafter. It is worse to be disgraced in hereafter. May Allāh protect us.
To do good things, it is an order, Allāh's order, and Prophet saying every good thing, nobody can be ashamed with good things he does. And to behave shy and to be afraid
from to do bad things, it is from īmān, from belief of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Believers, they are people they are shying, ashamed. Shy and ashamed. To do bad things, they cannot do. But these days we are seeing, especially in Western countries every bad thing, it is allowed. Even they encourage to do this.
Governments, people, all they are saying "This is nature of human being. They can do as they like. And it is, no, don't be ashamed of what you are doing. It is normal for you. You can do this thing which even animals cannot do. You do your... It is Coming from your nature. So you can do, what you like to do, don't be ashamed. We are... If anybody saying anything, by law, we are after you. Don't be afraid, don't be ashamed. Do what your ego likes to do. Do." This is a top of shayṭānic kingdom.
It is now end of time. And it must be like this. To change this, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to not give any chance for them to say "We were ashamed. We were not doing bad thing" Allāh give chance. And these people they say "We don't want". Even they are not believers. Because if they have belief, they cannot do this. To be shy and to be ashamed, it is from belief. If you believe in Allāh youhave shame. But if you are not, only you are just you are coming like animal. Even animal is better than these people. So it is a good thing you must keep.
Don't do bad things. To be ashamed to do good things, don't be ashamed. Be ashamed from bad things. And it is really, if some believer doing something wrong, they are really very ashamed. They are afraid to be open for people to know this. They try to keep it secret. And it is order also. Prophet if you do something wrong and you are.. don't make it commonly, don't open for common people. It is making you worse. If you keep it secret, Allāh keep it secret from everybody also. You are ashamed you are doing this, Allāh we saying "Oh Lord, don't let me be ... exposed. Don't make me exposed in front of people, don't expose me." Allāh, His name is Sattār, meaning is closed The Veiler.
But not like these people, they are doing wrong things and encouraging people "No, you must do this also. You are.. Your nature.. It is nature. Don't believe in anything. Only believe in nature And your nature ordering you to not marry, to not be with.. to bring children, don't make good for people. Only think for yourself. This is their nature. Maybe it's for real in their nature. But it is not order of Allāh. Allāh orders to fight your ego and to be in right way.
Nature is to marry man and woman, to bring, make a good generation, to be family, to be... This is coming from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, until now like this. But this they are, maybe just 20 years beginning to not accept this. You must marry man to man, woman to woman. Why? After, what is this? Rubbish. And if we say in Europe for this, maybe they put you in jail. Like this. It is shayṭānic only. Shame [is] from belief.
To be ashamed, to be shy is from belief. So don't be afraid if you are "I am shy." If you have shy and shame, you are believer. Allāh keep us from our bad ego and these bad people and shayṭān and his followers.
Al-Fatiha.
22.THE REWARD OF A 100 MARTYRS Sunday, 22 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.
The way of our Holy Prophet is a beautiful way and every beauty is in it. To follow our Holy Prophet is both a farz (obligation) and a sunna (tradition). We are performing the farz Alhamdulillah. Even though most people are not performing the sunna, there are many who are performing it. Of course those who are not performing are more, but that is a different matter. For those who are doing good, it says “Ziyadatul khayri khayr”. The more you do good the better it is for you. You are doing the farz. Do the sunna too. It is a sunna to do whatever our Holy Prophet did, to follow him, and to do what he did.
Our Holy Prophet says about each sunna performed in End Times: “There is a reward of a 100 martyrs for keeping one sunna alive and continuing at it.” What we mean by sunna is not just sunna prayers. It is everything he did. Even entering the mosque with the right foot is a sunna. Exiting with the left foot is a sunna. In fact, even combing with the intention of our Holy Prophet is a sunna. Because combing, combing the beard and hair was a sunna of our Holy Prophet. We are already doing this. If you say, “I make intention for the sunna,” it will give you the reward of a 100 martyrs. It is also a sunna if you wear a turban or a skullcap on your head instead of praying bareheaded. For the sunnas and the recommended (mustahabs) of ablution Allah rewards them all the reward of a 100 martyrs. One martyr will intercede on behalf of 70 people. Think what a great generosity of Allah Azza wa Jalla this is. He gives so much rewards for following His Prophet, His Beloved. Do not let the sunnas be forgotten. Do not believe so called scholars (alims) who say, “There is no need for this sunna!” Certainly try to do our Holy Prophet’s sunnas as much as possible. As we said, no matter how much you take from the good, Allah does not say do not take. He says take. Take more. Take as much as you want. It is up to each person now and they take as much as they like. If they say they do not want anymore, alright you take as much as you want. But if you like, you can take all and Allah Azza wa Jalla does not says no. That time Allah would be more content with us. May Allah be content with all of us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
23.YOU ARE NOT CREATED FOR FUN Monday, 23 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.
Thanks to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla we came together with our brothers again. It is livened up with the love of Allāh, the Prophet and Mawlānā. It is overflowing. Mankind is created not for this world but for the hereafter. Happy are those, who know it. People think they will live without dying. Ignorant people around the world, inside and outside Muslim countries they think it is forever.
But I look and I see there is an imām, ḥāfiẓ he says "ilá nihāya". There is an end, we want it to continue until the end. When is the end? The end of the world is Qiyāmah. There is no eternal life in this world. They say "forever". There is nothing eternal, forever in this world. Everything has an end in this world. There is an end to good. There is an end to bad. Since the time of Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām 124,000 prophets came to this world. They all ended up in this world. Of course there are prophets that are alive. That's another subject.
The thing is that everyone finished their lives on this world. Through Azrael ‘alayhis- salām. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla appointed him to end the worldly life of human beings. To start the next life. That's Azrael ‘alayhi s-salām's duty. The prophets (as) are priviliged in Allāh's presence. They are sent to people as a torch. People of this world say "forever" because they do not think at all. They say they are going to live forever. They panic when something happens. How can it be?
There is chaos. There is unrest, war, this and that. They want everything to continue peacefully. They aren't aware how much things have changed since Ādam ‘alayhi s- salām, until now. Thousands of years passed. Nothing stays the same. Constantly changing. This is Allāh's will to show people. But people still don't learn a lesson. They don't become wiser. The only thing that doesn't change in this world is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla the creator of this universe. Never changes. Everyone changes except Him. Our Prophet changed his world also. It is a change. He left us physically. But he says; "I'm Ḥayyun yurzaq". He is alive. "He gets rizq" Prophet says. The saints and martyrs are also like that. All. But the important point is that they don't stay in this world. They are gone.
Because it is Allāh's order, it has to be like this. All living beings will slowly leave. The tombs of the good ones are also beautiful. Everybody knows how beautiful they were in this world. When they are transferred to hereafter their tombs are holy. They give peace. They give beauty to this world. Beauty comes from them. They are beautiful here, hereafter, on the day of judgement, on maḥshar, in paradise also. May Allāh keep us with them. What a beautiful grant has it been for us to be with them.
People don't like change. They say nostalgia, remember old days. They inwardly sigh. Some people sigh for this world. some remember the times, they spent with holy ones. "We had such beautiful days" they say. In shā’a Llāh we'll have beautiful days in the next life as well. Because you'll be with the ones you love. But this is Allāh's will. It is in nobody's power. Nobody can give an extra breath to someone. Allāh appointed a certain time. We were together during that time we got their barakah. Now their spiritual barakah is stronger, more powerful. They give a lot of gifts to those, who come here. But for people, who are elsewhere but they remember them with love, respect, longing they give gifts to them as well.
We hear that people, who come to visit Mawlānā had been gifted in dreams. If they have a difficulty, with their barakah and their grants it is solved. They are supporting. Thanks to Allāh. May Allāh make our love permanent, in shā’Allāh. May we continue in their ways. Alḥamdu liLlāh we are happy again we meet with our brothers, murīd and sisters. All they are welcome to Mawlānā's place. Mawlānā place, it is light. And every good thing in his place as he was. And we are missing Mawlānā. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are knowing this; what we are living in this world, it is from Allāh. And He... He is the Creator and He do what He likes. He has created from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now thousands of years. And it is changing. Everything changing. Nothing can be same forever.
Ignorant people, they are saying forever. But knowledgeable people... Because since childhood everywhere we go, every country, "This country it will be forever." Everywhere in the world. Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, England, Germany, everywhere they are saying forever.
But I was realizing. We have imām in Istanbul. And he says until the end. He said when [he] makes du‘ā’ "Allāh keep us like this until end." What meaning? Meaning there is end for everything in this life. Our life, nothing forever. You must change. You must have end. And then beginning to next life. From Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until Prophet 124,000 prophets coming. All of them, nobody lived forever except some of them.
Now they are in life like Idrīs ‘alayhi s-salām, Ilyās ‘alayhi s-salām, Khiḍr ‘alayhi s-salām, ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām. But they also, they will be near Qiyāmah, they will be also the end for them also. What is end for this life? Death. And the death, Allāh make created great
angel ‘Izrā’īl. What in English? Right same? Azrael. And he is... His job [is] only to take people to [the] next life. Because without doing this you cannot live forever. This life only... They have end for everything.
Nothing forever, like these ignorant people saying forever. No. Forever only you must change your vehicle and going to another. So every prophet, they have [to make] this also. They change. For our Prophet, of course, he said "I am alive. I am... I get rizq also." But the first thing, Azrael ‘alayhi s-salām he took permission from him "O you can give me permission to take your soul for next life" he gave him permission because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla even for this ‘Izrā’īl to make show our people, show human beings how to behave, to be respectful to Prophet. And he take his amānah, after Prophet again he is in life and he get rizq. This is also showing that nothing forever in this world.
Everything changing in this world. Nothing become same. Only Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla not changing. And it is for good people, for bad people also changing. But for good people, changing better for them. Of course, not better for people around. Because when some holy man or scholar or good man dies, Prophet [said:] there is big hole in this. Cannot fill it until Qiyāmah. But it is Allāh's order. So it is like this.
You accept or not accept, it is like this. But [it is] important to know in this world everything changing. You can't do anything. We are helpless. But we are accepting and be pleased. You do this and you are believer, not like who are not believer, they like to be everything like [in] old times. But it is since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now trouble whole century, whole history, always fighting, killing. Nothing be as people they like. And people they like, they said "We like peace". Ok, you like peace. But you are doing wrong for other people. It is also...
You cannot be forever like this. It will be changed. And people nowadays, they are remembering "Old times, old good days". Nostalgia they said, I think something like this. All people who are for material people or religious people, we also, we are many times we are remembering with Mawlānā, how he is going around us, how he was going, we are happy following him. This is good nostalgia, good remembering to remember good people. Even it is worship.
Prophet "Inda dhikri ṣ-ṣāliḥīn tanzilu r-raḥmah" When you remember good people, holy people, Allāh make peace on you. But what we do? We are al-ḥamdu liLlāh these people, when they are changing [from] this world, they have their maqām, their grave what they are burying. We are going, visiting them. We get mercy. We get blessed from them. And they are beautiful when they are in life. And they are also very beautiful in their maqām. And they are generous. When you visit them, they are happy. And when you remember them from far away also, they are very happy. And they are giving you blessed.
And especially Mawlānā, he was happy with his murīds and followers. And when they are coming, he is happy also. He [would] not let them to go without giving them what they need. And he is even going all around [to see] murīds and even non-murīds. Too many people, they are coming, they are saying "We saw one Shaykh in our dream. He asked us to go to that side". Many people, thousands of like this people, they are coming and following and joining in, coming to ṭarīqah through Mawlānā. Because his power [is] still on. His material life is finished.
But spiritually he is alive also. And he is happy with people coming and we are happy with him. And we are following order of Allāh, not objecting.
Don't object. Because time like this, it is hard time. But when you are knowing nothing going forever like this, it will be good for you. Because changing coming, it will come light, light of Islām on whole world. But not like with these rubbish people who are claiming they will bring, they are now they are oppressors, they are even they don't know anything from Islām. Islām with mercy. And it will be whole world Islām in shā’a Llāh with Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
And it looks like [it is] time of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. Because it's too heavy for everybody. Every people, everybody in this world, you feel people they are not happy. Believer or nonbeliever, all they are in very anxious, very bad mood, stressed. They are knowing something will happen. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are knowing it will be changing, but for good. For whole human being it will be good.

24.THE VALUE OF BEING MUSLIM
Monday, 23 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.
Thank Allah we are living in a Muslim country. Meaning most of the people are Muslim, and those who say they are not Muslim are very few. They are few, but those who appreciate and know the value of this blessing are also few. They get along as Muslim but do not know its worth. Its value is huge.
We do not appreciate our own worth and this value given by Allah. We do not see it, and when we do not see it we attempt to imitate others. Whereas people we attempt to immitate do things that have no benefit, useless things.
We are throwing away jewels, taking glass and fake stones, and wearing them on ourselves thinking they are more beautiful. Allah has given us the real jewels. He gave us those jewels in every sense and we do not know its value. We are being deceived and it is being taken from our hands, or even if they are not taking it, we are throwing it in the garbage.
The religion of Islam is the most beautiful religion. There is everything in it. The Glorious Koran is essential. “Ulumal Awwalina wal Akhirin”: all the knowledge in the world is in it. We take inspiration (fayd) from it. It has both external and internal inspirations.
People do things not ordered by Allah and think they have accomplished something. Other than these worships, other than the sunna of Hazrat Prophet (SAW), and other than what is shown by Islam, the things being done will have no benefit to humans. Even if it is not harmful, it will not be beneficial either. But most of the time it becomes harmful.
Therefore, we need to be careful and do everything we do with consideration. Otherwise, as we said, its harm would overcome its benefit. May Allah grant us to see the good Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.DO NOT INTERFERE IN EVERYTHING Tuesday, 24 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.
Our Holy Prophet says: “It is from the beauty of being Muslim for a person to leave what does not concern oneself.” All of our Holy Prophet’s advice and hadiths are beautiful, and this is one of them. No problems would be left if people did this anyway. The sign of a person being a good Muslim is not to deal with things that do not concern oneself. Now Mashallah, everybody knows everything. People have become knowit-all and are interfering in everything. “This needs to be like this, and that needs to be like that. This administration cannot go on like this, and that hodja should not do like that.” They interfere in everything, give an opinion, and do not like it. What our Holy Prophet is saying: Allah has created you for a job, He made it easy for you, you can only do that, and you will be at ease when you do it. Now you are not only not doing the job you are supposed to be doing, you are interfering in others’ business. That is why you are being useless, and you are being uncomfortable and uneasy. You need to look. You need to follow whatever business you are good at. You can say, “This is that man’s job. He knows it. It would not be right for us to interfere in that work,” and you are at ease. If not, if you think about interfering in everything, this time you are upset for it supposedly not being done as you wanted and you curse it. This is a beautiful saying of our Holy Prophet. It is not only for us here, but applies to the whole Islamic world and to the whole world. The person should do whatever Allah has made available for the person. Humankind can change places, lift mountains, build hills, and do everything but people cannot change their habits and cannot change their capability. Therefore, we need to pay attention to this and not interfere in everything. Do what you know. The administration knows its job, the state knows its job, the doctor knows his job, the architect knows her job. Do not interfere in their business because you do not know. Look at what you know and be at ease. What everybody needs to do is obey the commands of Allah. Everyone can do this. You do not interfere in anything other than this and be at ease.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
26.MARRIAGE IS A FOUNDATION OF ISLAM Friday, 27 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.
People love comfort. People love being comfortable. Things won't go as you like if you are too comfortable. You have to work and put in an effort. People in the old days twenty, thirty or forty years ago people weren't as comfortable as today. But still they were trying and living. Now people think they can't live without this luxury. "We can't manage. How will we do? How will we be comfortable without these devices?"
We say "May Allāh continue His blessings." They are Allāh's blessing. He gives us better things. We have to thank Him in return. Because when we don't thank and when we say "This is our right, we deserve it," it isn't good when we are not being thankful. Because blessings increase by being thankful. But people today say it is their right. There is a group saying "We take it by force." You can't play with Allāh. Allāh takes what's in your hand. You will lose what's in your hand.
Today people don't know how to appreciate blessings. They object to Allāh without knowing or knowing. There are also family matters, people are so comfortable that they don't have money or any other problems. The wife doesn't love her husband anymore. "I will get a divorce" she says. We hear it a lot nowadays. They say; "There is no love anymore." What can we do? Should we buy it in market? It isn't sold in the market. You are married. You lived together all these years. You won't live forever.
You already lived 15, 20, 30 years. Sometimes after 50 years, they want to divorce. This is because of comfort. Nothing else. They don't have any other problem. "Love is gone". This world isn't paradise. You'll surely have a problem no matter how wealthy you are or how healthy you are. Nobody is comfortable in this world. Saying so, and forgetting ākhirah comes from unbelief. In the past, people used to get married without seeing each other with arranged marriages. Still they would manage.
Now people choose their spouse themselves after living together for years they say "love is gone". We heard this from foreign people in the past. It means they were more comfortable than us.
They said "Love is gone". They don't have spirituality they leave and go immediately. This is a new fashion in the Muslim world also, "Love is gone". You'll love Allāh in a home without love. Let Allāh love you. Give thanks for Allāh's blessings. He protected you. You have children. Your husband meets your needs; your food and drink. You don't have any other right.
There is a saying of the Prophet; "Both Allāh and the Prophet won't look at such people, who want to get a divorce without a reason. Because marriage is one of the foundations of Islām and it is considered holy. Because family is important. Marriage is important. Divorce is the ḥalāl, that is least liked. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Aṭ-ṭalāq abghaḍu l-ḥalāl. Getting a divorce is the ḥalāl that Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla likes least. So Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla doesn't like divorce. Some people don't even have a valid reason. They say "love is gone". It's not a game. It is an important thing. Because in the end of times, there is a lot of fitnah. This family institution is a holy home. It is an institution, that Allāh and the Prophet likes.
Shayṭān, the ego and these useless people are trying to destroy it. Both sides should manage marriage carefully. There is blessing for them. They'll be Allāh's and Prophet's beloved servants. These people built a new home. They keep their homes in the way of our Prophet. It is a great blessing and honour for them both. They should keep this in mind so that these small things don't bother them, not to cheat them. They won't be cheated by shayṭān. They don't follow their egos.
There are arguments in every family. Even twins argue. Conflict isn't easy. Leave that, sometimes you even fight with yourself. If we fight should we strangle or kill each other or should we seperate? No. You'll make peace after some time and manage. "Wa ṣ-ṣulḥu khayr." (4:128) Managing this marriage institution in a nice way, having children, grandchildren. We should pray that everything is for the way of Allāh. When you do this, be in the way of Allāh. Allāh protects them. Because there is a lot of fitnah.
Now it is the darkest times of fitnah. So, divorcing and leaving children isn't a good thing. You need to make a sacrifice. You make a sacrifice for Allāh's sake. Allāh surely gives its reward to that person. It is a test in this world but in the end, He gives its reward here and hereafter. So, be careful. It isn't good to quickly leave and go. May Allāh give everyone blessed families, in shā’a Llāh. May the families not be destroyed, in shā’a Llāh. May good generations comes out of the families, in shā’a Llāh.
We are saying human being, they like to have a nice life, not to be tired, to be all time with luxury. Luxury it is the most thing human beings love. And they are used to it very easily. To have happy life and to be in luxury, it is for everyone, they love [it], they like [it]. And [in] this time we are looking and seeing before 30, 40 years ago, how it was. the world and the countries, they were poor. And they didn't have many things [that] we
have now. Sometimes maybe people they said "If we live like last [that] life, it is too difficult"
Because to get used to luxury, it is easy. But to [get] used to not luxury, it is difficult after you have luxury life. And we are - we must be thankful for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Because He gives us. Of course, whole world [is be]coming like this. But also we must be thankful for Allāh.
Because He makes our life easy. And people, they are. "No", they said "This is our right". They are not thanking Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They say "This is our right. We must get it. We must have good life, luxury life, nice life. It is our right. Even we must grab it."
No, there is sometimes making demonstration "This our right. We must grab it" and [they are] shouting No, you cannot grab this. Allāh He will grab your thing from - you cannot be You must be all [the] time happy with what Allāh gives you. We must be thankful. And we must be asking more [and] not forgetting Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Now the people they are real[ly] very rest [relaxed]. And many things they don't have to think from how to live, how to manage to be in good life.
These, all people now they have, they now have another problem. What is this problem? We hear every time. Sometimes coming woman. Wife or sometimes coming man. He said... Because too much luxury and they have everything, what is now [the] problem? "My love finished for my husband." How many years you are married? "I'm married 15 years." Some of them 20 years, 30 years. What will be? Where they can sell this love? we can buy for you to continue? This is real[ly] ridiculous. Before [we] were hearing this in Western people. Because they don't have any spiritual power or spiritual life. They are finished, OK. Finished, finished. They have - it is normal for them, even they are not married.
So for Muslims to say this, it is [a] real problem with their belief. Even [if] they are praying, they are fasting, they are doing everything. But when they say this, it is [that] they have īmān, very few. Low īmān. Low belief. Old time people, their family they bring for them a wife or husband. And they are not looking until the wedding. They see not. And they were happy. They accept this. And this is - marriage we are accepting. We are following sunnah of Prophet order of Allāh.
We must be happy. But now they are thinking after 30 years of marriage. He beat you? "No." He bite you? "No" And he not bringing for you? "No, no. Everything we have." But what happened? "Love, we don't have." This love, of course after 20 years, 30 years, it's OK, normal. You'll be same [are] used to it. From where you bring this idea? Maybe looking too much for TV movie. This is craziness. So it is, they think they will live forever.
No, maybe after 10 years, 20 years also you will be die and finish. You must be patient. You must be not thinking for this. You must use your brain also sometimes. It is impossible to be [your] whole life like before married you love and you fall in love. No, it's OK. They love but not like first time. No, it's ok. Life [is] going. Everything going. So, just you continue, accept this, make thank for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla "I have this good marriage and have children and have everything." Just be married, happy.
Because marriage, [the] marriage institution, it is very important in Islām. It is the base for Islām. Because of this, Prophet every time was encouraging people to marry and to make good house, good home from one two, second like this, making strong base for Islām, marriage. You must think for this. Not only you think for yourself for your ego. Love only for your ego. Love not for you, not for your husband; for Allāh, for Prophet. It is enough. Other loves finish.
But when they are not treating you bad, giving everything what you said this love, this is real[ly], you are under control of shayṭān and your ego. You must be patient. You must be happy with Allāh. For family also, they must accept this and don't make problems for people. There is many making sometimes between mother and the wife. They are making problem. But it is normal. So not make it big for man or for others. No, you must make it calming down.
Because divorce it is ḥalāl. But it is the most disliked for Allāh, for Prophet. Islām not like Christians, [where] you cannot divorce. You [can] divorce but it is very bad, not acceptable, not looking good for this. But for family, it must be making effort between wife and husband. Because if divorce, there is children; it will break this society also, Islāmic society. Not good. Of course, two people every time some - Nobody in this world [is] happy forever.
Even you have, you are rich, you have health, wealth and everything, but this dūnya it is test, a place of test. So don't think what you are looking in television, all people, they are happy. What we see, it is all lie. All lie, cheating people. So to be two people, they are wife and man, sometimes making arguing, sometimes they agree for each other, sometimes someone angry. But after it will be OK also. Because two people, they have different habit. Even sometimes a person he is fighting with himself. It is real, not only for two people. So don't put blame for others.
Every time you think for your marriage to be continue, and to accept, to be accepted in the Divine Presence. Because this is test. And this, Allāh making this for us. We are not living forever. We must accept this. If we [do] not accept this, Allāh He can give us worse than this test. So don't think for if you do this, you will get better. No, you are same person. Another coming, maybe worse than first one. We must continue to be, give strong society, Islāmic.
Everywhere where you are living, in everywhere in the world you must be thinking for your family, your children to be, give them good example. The best thing to teach; [is] to do same what you are saying. If you're doing same thing, people they are learning from you, not only from talking. Talking coming from this ear, going from other ear. But when you are doing what is good, people also they are following you. Allāh make us in right way, in shā’Allāh. Allāh save us from shayṭān and our ego, in shā’Allāh.

27.BE BELOVED FOR ALLAH Saturday, 28 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.
Try to be from Allāh's beloved servants. So Allāh loves you. Allāh's beloved servants are the saints. Saint mean Allāh's beloved servants. Everybody expects to make miracles when they become saints. Saying "I'll be a saint, I'll make miracles." Many people think about this. Sainthood isn't like that. Sainthood is for Allāh's sake. Not for ranks, this and that. After being a beloved of Allāh you don't think about being given miracles, etc.
But Allāh gives them some things to please them. Because Allāh protects the servant, whom He loves. "He is my friend, beloved servant". If people harm them, there is a ḥadith qudsī; "Man ‘ādá lī wa-liyyan faqad ādhantuhu bi-lḥarb." "Whoever is an enemy of my saint is an enemy of Me." says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla in a ḥadith qudsī. Whoever is an enemy of Me surely arrows of revenge hit him" says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. That's why ordinary people think that saints have karāmah. Anyone may be Allāh's beloved servant. The more your faith increases the more you'll be beloved by Allāh. Train yourself, with good manners, whoever has good manners is from Allāh's beloved servants. Allāh doesn't like who? "Fa-inna l-laha lā yuḥibbu l-kāfirān." (3:32). Lā yuḥibbu l-fāsiqīn. He doesn't like non believers. He doesn't like people, who do bad. Now some philosophers come out. They say "Allāh loves everyone". It isn't up to you.
Allāh doesn't do what you want, Allāh does what He likes. Allāh may love or not. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla showed both ways. You may be a beloved servant. You may not be a beloved. Try to be from beloved servants so that your ākhirah, end is good. You'll be peaceful in the world also. No matter how much suffering he has, if he is a beloved servant of Allāh he is at peace, he is happy. If it is the opposite even if he looks as if he is at peace, he is not peaceful at heart. He is not at ease. May we be from Allāh's beloved servants, in shā’a Llāh. We are trying in this world to be happy. And happiness [is] to be a friend of Allāh, beloved for Allāh. To be beloved for Allāh, it is what we say Awliyā’u Llāh. These, they are beloved people for Allāh . They say for them 'saint.' But there is of course Awliyā’u Llāh who are high degree. And everybody can be beloved for Allāh Awliyā’u Llāh. But people, they are coming asking to be Awliyā’u Llāh, beloved for Allāh . But when even they are coming for this, they are mixing everything. And then, after they say "We are coming to be Awliyā’u Llāh".
Even I hear in some country, [in] East Asia. There is advertisement they say "After one year, we make you Awliyā’u Llāh". It is funny because to be Awliyā’u Llāh... Why [do] they want to be Awliyā’u Llāh? To make miracles, to be [say] "We have karāmah", to be famous between people. This is all rubbish what they are thinking. To be Awliyā’u Llāh, you mustn't think at all about this. Only what you must think to be Allāh happy with you. If you are looking to be Allāh's friend and you get benefit like you are friend of president, you can take money from government, take money from everywhere, it is wrong idea what he thinking. From [the] beginning, it is wrong. Your intention it must be pure and not thinking for any benefit for world, dūnya. Only what you want to be Allāh happy with you. It is the highest maqām. If He is happy with us, "It is enough for me" you must say. Because everything under this, it is not good, no value. Only one value to be Allāh happy with you, Allāh to love you, to like you, to help you. When He love you, He help you.
Because He said, Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla, Jalla Sha’nuhu, "Who I love him, I am defender for him. Who attack him, he attack Me ". And "Man ‘ādá lī wa-liyyan faqad ādhantuhu bilḥarb." "Who declare war against saints, I declare war for them". This is what we must be happy with this. Because He defend for us and He is happy with us. Not to look for small thing. It is the most honorable thing, Allāh to be happy with you, to love you. There is many people now coming for famous, to have fame, to have different things for people to say. Allāh loves all people. Allāh He said "I love and I don't love. I not love who are kāfir." In Qur’ān He said. But these people, they make philosophy. And they're saying Allāh. No, you cannot interfere with Allāh , He is the Lord. And He is justice. You can be His beloved one. And you can be what He hate you. Because you do wrong thing, you do bad thing, He is not happy. If you do good thing, He love you and He accept you and He is happy with you. This is very important.
Because people, they said No, He love everybody. Of course He love everybody and He give chance for everybody to be beloved for Him , not beloved for shayṭān. So try to be beloved for Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla. In shā’a Llāh, not mixing anything with this love. Because if you are not mixing, you get everything, every good thing without asking. But if you mix from before "I will be beloved for Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla and I will get this and get that", so you cannot even get beloved for Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla. Allāh make us all beloved for Him , in shā’Allāh.

28.WORK AS IF YOU LIVE FOREVER Sunday, 29 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.
Our Prophet says; don't be too hopeful saying ṭūlu l-amal in this world. Don't think "I'll do this and that." You go on the right path. It isn't certain when death comes. Again Our Prophet says; "Work as if you'll never die. Even if tomorrow is the end of the world if you have a tree to plant, plant it." And then also work as if you'll die tomorrow. If you have one day left to live you try to do good or charity. Make such an effort" says our Prophet.
Don't say; "I'll live longer. I'll do it later. I'll do my duties later, I'll pray later" says our Prophet; don't leave for later. Because how long we will live only Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla knows. Nobody else. Now, people don't ever think about it. Everybody is worried about this world. No need to be worried. Our Prophet showed us the best example; himself.
The companions also showed the right path. What is in this world? In the end everyone will die there is nothing else to do. There was one foreigner here who was very ill. People were worried "What will we do if he dies here?". Ḥajjah Anne, may she rest in peace, she also had a sense of humor like Mawlānā. She said "We'll bury whoever dies". That's it. Nothing else to do. Death comes to everyone. That's why we have to build our ākhirah. The companions loved death. Why? To reach our Prophet Ḥz Bilāl Ḥabashī was on his deathbed. His family was crying. He was happy. He was reading a poem. "ghadan alqa l-aḥabba Muḥammadun wa ṣaḥbah ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam." Tomorrow I'll meet my friends. He was happy that he would meet the Prophet and the companions. So, if you build up your ākhirah you won't be afraid. Whatever Allāh gives, you live happily. And die happily.
Like we said at the beginning of the ṣuḥbah People say "It is approaching, we don't do anything. We sit and wait for Mahdī (as) to appear. Then we'll have wealth and happiness. We don't do anything now" they think. Our Prophet doesn't want this. You should work. You should put an effort. You should pray. You ask for worldly provision. If it is for Allāh's sake it is also worshipping. It isn't good to leave everything sitting, doing nothing. You say "I'll do this, that". Of course you can make a plan. But don't say it incomplete: I will do this. You should say "In shā’a Llāh". If Allāh wills.
We're planning to do this in one month. We'll go there in two months. If Allāh wills, in shā’a Llāh, If not, it won't. Nothing is certain. When we say, in shā’a Llāh people think we don't care. No. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla should want it, so it will be. It isn't with my or your will. "Wa-lā taqūlanna lishay’in innī fā‘ilun dhālika ghadan illā an yashā’Allāh." (18:23-24) "Don't say I'll do this tomorrow". Jews had some questions, they came to the Prophet. "I'll tell you tomorrow" he said. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla didn't give him the answer for one month to give a lesson for us. Even though he was a prophet. Our Prophet is excluded from mistakes. He is innocent, he doesn't make mistakes. So this happened to be a lesson for the ummah. If Allāh wants, everything happens. No other way.
May Allāh, in shā’Allāh, make us follow the Prophet and the mashāyikhs footsteps. May Allāh not destine anything else.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying for Ummah: you must work as [if] you are not will die, [as if] you will live forever. And you must think, make your ‘ibādah, your worshipping as [if] you are dying tomorrow. This is everything Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he saying, it is top of knowledge and top of wisdom. Because many people, even they have the ability to do something, they are saying "We are waiting. Qiyāmah; it's very near. No need to do anything." Just waiting.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he is showing us to not be lazy and not be depending on something you are not knowing it. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, He knows everything. But we don't know. Everything He is knowing. So He created us to continue our life, to do everything normally. And it is more difficult. Easy to sit and not do anything. We are waiting for Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām We are waiting for armageddon. No need to do anything. It is not from teaching of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
You must work, you must do everything as normal. But your belief must be as it is like it will happen tomorrow. Like Mawlānā Shaykh was saying "I was waiting for Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām from morning, [as if in the] evening he is coming. When it's evening, I'm waiting him from [as if] he is coming morning." And he was really sincere and waiting. If you can do this, you are right. But not doing anything, after saying "Oh, I was waiting 50 years. Nothing happened." No, it is... You finish all your what you done 50 years from. Allāh what He grant you from rewards, you will finish in one second. This is teaching for people to be patient and to do what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam ordering. You say like ṣaḥābah "We are waiting to meet Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam" Ṣaḥābah, they was when their death coming or near, they were happy.
Like Sayyidinā Bilāl al-Ḥabashī. He was in last day he was very ill. And his family was crying he was very ill. But they saying he is very happy he is singing, saying poem. Looking what he said. He said ghadan alqa l-aḥabba Muḥammadun ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam wa ṣaḥbah. "Tomorrow I will meet our beloved people, especially Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and his companions."
And he was very happy. This happiness we are, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh giv
