Suhbah 2017: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (5/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5479
ndred. At the end, also Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla from His mercy for these people, because they are searching for something, for reality; at the end also He open for them. So no need. Allāh wa-Llāhu yad‘ū ilá dāri s- salām (10:25) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He calling people to house of peace, paradise. Come quickly. No need to go tired too much. Come directly. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh Allāh top of these mountains the people finding way of Allāh.
Mā shā’Allāh you see because this way not new way, new fashion. No. Same way from first Prophet Sayyidinā Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. We believe at the end of the world will come Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām and Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām together. So all believers they will be accepting the right way. We are believe he is alive and Allāh take him and not harming him from any people. He's safe in heaven. When time coming, and I think it is very near, he will come and save human being with Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām, in shā’a Llāh. And it look like these days it's very... everything mixed up. Violence, war, pollution, economy - everything finished. Look like these days, look like bankrupt. They finish Communism. Now all Western countries, all like more worse than communist. People only can work, only for live. They cannot have anything more. This what it was in Soviet Union and other communist countries. Only they have house. And house also not for them. And they were giving food. It's only like this. They try to save themselves like this. But no, finished this world. This time very near. But we don't know because Allāh only He know best when it's time. But when this system finish, system of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, the best system. And who take care for this, their best very nice days, in shā’Allāh. This is what we believe and we are telling people to be happy. Because this not for it will be like this forever. Only little time. We hope to reach these days, in shā’Allāh. Thank You.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
39.A SPECIAL LOVE FOR MAWLANA Sunday, 5 March, 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.
In shā’Allāh this ṣuḥbah be from Mawlānā to make our hearts more love for Allāh and to make less love for dunyā. Mawlāna's first thing, he teach people and he attract people not with hate, only with beauty and with love. And he was so tolerant. Just people to put their feet in ṭarīqah, or way of Allāh first step. He tried everything for this. Even he can do what other people, Muslim they are objecting "What are you doing?" This is... But, of course, they cannot come and say it for his face. But behind him making backbiting "This Shaykh is not maybe not showing people right way". And they try to make problem. Because he is 100% with Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
He is not looking for any criticizing from people and not listening to them. Because this time - time of people, second ignorance time. First ignorance, it was time of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. They are not believing in Prophet ", not believing in religion, real religion, just following, worshipping idols. But they were believing in something and worshipping this thing. Even this, they were ignorance time. For Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he " struggle and make these people give them real belief. They were tribes attacking each other, killing, taking everything from other tribes. This was their life. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he come and make them the top of civilization ever been. And al-ḥamdu liLlāh they are going East and West, North and South giving light of Prophet ", light of Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla for whole world - ṣaḥābah. Until Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was saying, there is another time for ignorance.
First one - first ignorance time. Second one - second ignorance time, jāhilīyah thānī. The second one, it is more worse than first one. It is not double, not triple, maybe thousand times worse than first one. For Mawlānā in this time he was making these people to come to right way. Middle of this ignorance, make people to accept Lord ’Azza wa Jalla and His order and way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. But first ignorance time they were accepting and worshipping something and accepting like God. They said not one God, maybe ten, three, twelve thousand. They said accept something for that. But this time the most worst ignorance, the whole half of human being, they are not accepting Creator, the Lord Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla. This is the worst. And with power of īmān and
belief Mawlānā was putting in heart of these people belief. And they were accepting reality and coming to way of light, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
It is not an easy thing. It must be spiritual power. And the spiritual power not coming from himself, coming through strong station. From Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam coming to him. And from his power of spiritual power, the people even only they see him, looking for him, they become Muslim, become in ṭarīqah. Even for this, Mawlānā was travelling around to show people himself. Even in dream many people become, they find him and accept him. Shaykh Jamāluddīn and others all were many times they go and travelling with him and they see many things like this. The last long trip we were with him in going to Uzbekistan. From Uzbekistan to Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. And we go Japan. First time. And once he went, Mawlānā, by his bodily for Japan. But spiritually of course he's going around the world. In Tokyo, there was mosque they built by Turkish Diyānat. And it was real nice they built as Turkish mosque. And we go and visit this mosque with Mawlānā. It was night, maybe 10 or 11 o'clock. There was Japanese people coming. And so one of them he said "I saw this man in my dream". And he speaking. After he asked to make shahādah. After other one six Japanese in that night become Muslim. Like this, hundred thousand of examples.
And people who was not happy with his way to make people to come to Islām, they are now, they cannot say anything. So, in shā’Allāh, we are happy to be here also in this city. It is the oldest city. Mawlānā he was coming here to make people meet them here and many times make ṣuḥbah and sleep and eat and give lecture, ṣuḥbah, dhikr. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh he make strong base here. He was... In shā’Allāh he is with us now also, his barakah. He not looking so much for details, small things. He just look for people they are accepting and to practice slowly slowly. He was giving them chance. It's ok, he said. But by themselves they are complete what Mawlānā he like and they try to imitate him without saying anything. They are by themselves, they are doing this. And everybody he know Mawlānā and his ṣuḥbah, maybe his ṣuḥbah. I said if you want I speak, 100 years, no need to any ṣuḥbah, any lecture. But for barakah we do this.
Mawlānā he show us everything, tell us everything, what to do. He was many... Mawlānā he was accepting everybody. For this also, people they said "How he accept this? People, they are doing this, they are doing that." Now some people in Turkey or other place they love Mawlānā. But of course, their way is very different from Mawlānā's way. I told them Mawlānā accept everybody. It is not problem. You cannot, if anybody come to you, to make hard and to be tough for him. No need. He is coming, he is guest. Guest, he is welcome. If you will say anything, if Mawlānā he is following this man who is coming, doing anything, if he's doing something like him, you can say "What Mawlānā doing?" or "He's out of way." No. Mawlānā accept everybody but not following anybody. Who coming, in shā’a Llāh, he will follow Mawlānā. For everything like this... Even in our ṭarīqah some people they are happy with this, some people with other.
But we must look for Mawlānā, what he said for this matter, for this problem, how he was acting, how he was doing. We must follow him. And he is not from hundred years or two hundred years.
Just he was with us and al-ḥamdu liLlāh this technology not good, but sometimes it's good. Everything we record for Mawlānā. Everything he was doing we know. Once our brother he was asking to make book for Mawlānā acting from morning to evening, to see ‘ibādah and other things. One of... I don't know in Spain or Argentine. Someone he said "I like to do this", take permission. So I said "Ok, you can do."
Many times he went to interfaith meeting. And he is just to say for them for reality. Because other people go there only to be surrender to themselves. But Mawlānā was saying truth for these people to be show them right way. Because these people, many people, they are really clever people and when they hear truth, they come to truth. And his way, he feel himself responsible for everybody he coming asking advice, asking for knowledge. Even he's very tired, he was looking for this man or lady. But for what we're saying this? We're saying this for our brothers, sisters here, all, mā shā’a Llāh, following Mawlānā way. And they are, in shā’a Llāh, be happy and safe from shayṭān and his army. Shayṭān can come from any door. The most dangerous enemy - who look like friend. If somebody say you "I am your enemy", ok. Thank you, I can be away from you. But if you say "I am friend" and other, he will come and hit you from behind - it is, this is the problem.
So we must be all time remember Mawlānā Shaykh and his advice in his ṣuḥbah and his way of life. This can give us strong īmān and belief to fight against shayṭān and ego and his follower. Allāh keep you safe from these enemies, you and your generation, in shā’Allāh. All generation be in right way, not following any wrong way, in shā’Allāh. With barakah of Mawlānā, in shā’Allāh. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh I am seeing here love of Mawlānā in this area. Real they are, they have this love, special love. And may Allāh make it more and more, in shā’Allāh.

40.MONEY DOES NOT WORK IN THE HEREAFTER Tuesday, 7 March 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.
Auzu Billahi Minash-shaitanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. “Yawma la yanfau malun wala banoon. Illa men atallaha biqalbin saleem.” (Sura Shu’ara:88-89) Allah Azza wa Jalla states: “The Day when wealth or children will not benefit anyone. But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.”
Even in this world sometimes neither your money nor anything else is of use. There are times when nothing is of use. Allah Azza wa Jalla shows these in this world as a trial so that you make sure to have faith in your heart for the hereafter. What is meant by salim, meaning a safe heart, is a heart with faith. If it is without faith, one can have as much worldly possessions and as much money as one likes but it is no use at all.
We had an uncle-in-law whose father escaped from Russia and went to Hejaz. The Communist Revolution erupted before he escaped. It has been a 100 years now. The man had no idea. He had a shop. All the money was null and void. They would come and buy so much and he did not know. He was happy he was selling and making money. He suddenly found out money had no use, no value anymore. It was null and void.
It is the same way in the hereafter. Money has no value whatsoever. If you are going to do good and worship in the world then do it, so later you are not sorry you did not do it. Do as much as possible in this world. It is valid for the hereafter. But when you pass to the hereafter it is said, “The burial cloth has no pockets,” you cannot take anything to the hereafter. If you are to do something do it here. May our hearts be solidly full of iman Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
41.IT IS GOOD TO ACCEPT ADVICE Wednesday, 8 March 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. “Allathina yastamiunal qawla fayattabiuna ahsanah.” “Those who listen to speech and follow the best of it.” (Sura Zumar:18) It is also the dua of our Holy Prophet, “Make us amongst those who accept advice,” he says:
“Allahumma ij’alna minallathina yastami’unal qawla wayattabiuna ahsanah.” There are many types of advice. Advice is showing the good. Showing the bad is not advice, it is doing evil. People need to listen and accept what is good, what is ordered, and accept the advice. If they listen, it is for their own good. If they do not accept then as they like.
Human beings need to know what is good and what is bad, what is good and what is bad for themselves. They are in loss if they do not know this. Advice is important, and it is a beautiful thing to accept advice. However, people of today do not want advice or anything of the sort. They are only looking for ways to do what their ego likes.
If it does not fit their ego, “This is not advice,” they say. Whereas advice is not good for a person’s ego but for a person’s soul. The ego does not want anything but evil. You are always in loss if you follow your ego. The ego does not take you to any goodness. Therefore, listen to advice even if it is hard on your ego. Lend an ear even if it does not fit your ego. You will be profiting in the end. Allah Azza wa Jalla: Allah glorified and exalted be he .
If not, if a person goes after one’s ego, one is always in loss and it would not be of benefit. When Allah Azza wa Jalla created this life, He gave humans willpower. There is willpower for people to hold their ego, to rule over their ego. It can be done if one wants it. Do not let go of your ego’s leash. Control yourself. May Allah give everybody that power so that nobody is harmed by their ego. Amin.
Wal hamdu lillahi Rabbil alamin. Al-Fatiha.
42.OFFER PRAYERS ON TIME Thursday, 9 March 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. “Innassalata kaanat alal muminina kitaban mawqoota.” (Sura Nisa:103) Allah Azza wa Jalla states: “Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon Muslims, the believers, a decree of specified times.” The first obligation from the pillars [of Islam] is namaz.
Those who offer prayers are saved and those who do not are resurrected very heavily on the Day of Judgment. But other than that, today’s issue is a little different. Now, new ideas are coming out. They are not offering prayer five times but three times, combining it. Allah Azza wa Jalla says in the Koran, “Prayer has its times.” “Is it written?” they say! The Koran shows its times, it came out of the sacred mouth of our Holy Prophet, and he prayed five daily prayers.
If you are to offer prayers before its time when travelling, you only pray it like that at hajj in the Hanafi [school of thought]. However, in the Shafii [school of thought] if you are travelling you can pray Zuhr and Asr together lump sum. You can also pray Maghreb and Isha together. If you like you can pray it early or if you like you can delay it a little and pray them both as jami takhir. What is meant by jami taqdim is when offering Zuhr also offering Asr. If you could not pray it and it is late, then you pray Zuhr and Asr at the time of Asr.
This is the case when travelling. However, abruptly saying, “There is no five times. Three times is alright!” would be contrary to and opposing our Holy Prophet. It would not fit his orders. Actually, it would not be accepted because it does not work when it is not time.
There is time. Allah Azza wa Jalla created time. It is also a creature, a created creature. There is a wisdom behind it too. You will pray on time. You gain the rewards when you pray on time. If you pass the time, our Holy Prophet says, “You can pray 1000 rakats or 100,000 rakats if you like, but still you cannot gain the virtue2 of the prayer offered on time.”
Be careful! There are newly emerging fools pretending to be clever. They are pretending to be scholars. They are saying prayers are three times a day. Do not be fooled by them! Your good deeds would be lost for nothing and your efforts would be for nothing. Of course on Judgment Day they will look at offered sunna prayers for not offered [obligatory] prayers. They will be added on and if it is complete with them then Allah will forgive. They would be applied as much less in virtue, but when they are not enough, 80 years of offering prayers is required for each prayer. Over here a human lives 80 years, call it 100 years. In the hereafter, they will make you pray one lifetime for one prayer.
Therefore, pay attention here. Pay attention to prayer times as well. Do not be deprived of its virtues and do not be committing sin. Much care should be given to this matter of namaz.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
43.KNOWLEDGE IS LEARNT WITH ADAB
Friday, 10 March 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 states: “Allahumma inni authu bika min ilmin la yanfa” “We seek refuge in You from useless knowledge,” says our Holy Prophet to Allah Exalted and Glorious be He. How can it be useless when you learn knowledge and suffer so much for it? Of course it would be of no use if you use it for your own benefit, for worldly benefit. It would be useful knowledge if you use it on the path of Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Knowledge is what makes Allah widely known and notifies of Allah. The rest is not knowledge. So it is not important if one is a university graduate and does not practice what one studied. It is not important if one earned a degree in business administration but works at the municipality and hangs the diploma there. These are not considered knowledge anyway. These are things for this world and will remain in this world. They are not lasting.
Knowledge is what shows the path of Allah. They call it religious knowledge, theology. This is knowledge. If it becomes useless then we seek refuge in Allah. We seek refuge in Allah since it is not useful, it is of no use, to its owner nor anybody else. As long as it is useless to its owner, it is no use to anybody else. In fact, it is harmful. It would either make people go astray or people would say, “If this guy is a scholar why should we ever learn knowledge?”
It is obviously useless. So they have done it all for nothing and on top of that it carries sin. They go wherever there is a thing for self-benefit and for fame, and they appear on TV and talk much. “The one who talks much errs much,” says our Holy Prophet. The one who speaks a lot lies as well.
Therefore, those who study knowledge, those who seek knowledge, whoever they may be even if from amongst the laymen, they should study for their knowledge to be of benefit and not for self-interest. Those people who come out slandering others saying, “I am a greater scholar!” are worse. They would be committing sin too. May Allah help them, may Allah show them the right path.
Scholarship, being a person of knowledge is a great station. Before learning the knowledge, one should know the wisdom behind it and its virtue. Those who teach should teach that this knowledge is nothing: if you do not act by it or do not give it its due, then it is of no use and it would harm you.
They teach anybody who comes and give lessons without saying a thing. The one who teaches and the one who is learning are almost the same anyway. Actually, along with the discipline and knowledge one learns from that person, the personality of the one who teaches is also important so that students look up to their teachers and resemble them. Woe on our situation if the teachers are like themselves. May Allah help us all. May we learn knowledge with adab Inshallah so that it may be useful knowledge.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
44.EVERY ACTION HAS ITS REACTION Saturday, 11 March 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.
Allah Exalted and Glorified be He created this world in such a way that everything you do has its reaction. Just as you press on a spring, the more you press down the higher it jumps, it is the same with everything done by humans. Things certainly have their reaction. If you do good, you find good in return. If not, if you do evil, you will certainly answer for it and get its retribution.
When Allah Azza wa Jalla created this Universe, He created it as such so everybody knows they are creatures. Reaction results from everything everyone does. Because Allah Azza wa Jalla is not a creature, everybody except for Him is a creature. Some people have declared themselves to be god, and others are worshipping things as god. It is a great proof you are a creature if something comes out of a thing you do.
There is no reaction only for Allah Azza wa Jalla. Allah would give your pay for what you do, but nobody can give anything to Allah, because everything is His and in His hands. Because nobody can give Him anything He is the Khaliq, the Creator. All beautiful names and attributes belong to Allah Azza wa Jalla. And most traits are traits not available in humans. Allah Azza wa Jalla gave people some traits, but essentially potency, pride, and haughtiness all belong to Allah.
He says, “Subhanal Azim ul-Khallaq.” The Creator is Allah and what is called Subhan is Allah. People are weak and people will only get the returns of what they do. Allah Azza wa Jalla gives people as He likes with His generosity. He gives little and He gives a lot. Nobody can ask Him, “Why did you give it? Why did you do that?” Therefore, let us know our place, do good, and avoid evil InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
45.BE WITH ALLAH Sunday, 12 March 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.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is with believers. There is good in everything that occurs. We have no problem as long as we are on the path Allah wants us to be and Allah willing everything turns out beautiful. It is End Times now. There is a battle between truth and falsehood. Haqq is with Allah and Batil is with Shaitan. No matter how numerous they might appear, in the end those who are against Allah are in loss.
Be with Allah. You would be relieved and get the best of it. There is no need to be sad for anything from this world’s material. Or do not be thinking, “This one likes me and that one does not.” It is enough for Allah to love us. Anyone else is of no use because humankind is bound by its ego. And its ego means selfishness. People think about their own ego and their own benefit first and may use everybody. Therefore, let us be with Allah, let us not fear anybody, and let us not refrain from anybody.
Allah Azza wa Jalla does not have bombs and guns but He can make bombs and guns stop working. Allah is the one capable of everything. Even if the whole world were to gather upon you, as long as He does not want it nothing would happen to you Allah willing. As has been said, let us be with Allah and let us not worry about and be concerned about anything. Everything is with Him: He is the Razzaq, He is the powerful, He is the haughty, He is the able and the capable, and everything is in His hands.
Therefore, if people think about this and have faith believing in it, nothing would affect them and they would spend their lives in Allah’s consent. Inshallah these things that happen in the world are to guide people to the right way. Iron takes form by being pounded. Let us not be amongst those who get pounded but do not take lesson. Let us take lesson since this is strength given by Allah for us, it is His help for us Inshallah. May Allah help us all. May Islam be victorious and kufr be defeated. Inshallah may Mahdi Alayhis Salam come as soon as possible.
Al-Fatiha.
46.EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY DO Monday, 13 March 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.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He commands us goodness. Every goodness is within the command of Allah. Allah orders good and the ego orders us the exact opposite, evil. When humans follow their ego, they descend to the lowest levels. When they do not follow their ego but follow Allah’s commands their level, their station, rises. It is the same between people and in the sight of Allah.
Allah shows this world as a place of trials. He placed the ego, He placed Shaitan, and He placed the inclination. If you say, “I could not stand it and I did it,” you would be harming yourself. Because nobody else is going to suffer for what you did. You are responsible. Everyone is responsible for what they do. The responsibility is upon them.
Saying, “I did it but this man would help me,” you cannot do it like that without repenting. Allah would forgive you for what you did, but on the other hand if you are to do all evil and go against Allah, then you would not be forgiven. And nobody would help you because everything has its method. In recompense for what you did, if you repent or ask for help from someone they would help you, they would show you the right way, and they can also prevent you from what you are to do.
However, if you do it as you like and neither ask for forgiveness nor repent, that time you will suffer its punishment.
Islam is the religion of humility, the religion of advice, and the religion of goodness. Follow it and submit to it. Do not submit to evil, to Shaitan, and to your ego. The ego, as has been said, shows good as evil and evil as good. How are we going to know this? It is knowable. There are guides and there are good people. Everyone knows the evil you have done and you know it within yourself, but people fool themselves by themselves.
We need to accept advice and we need to lend an ear to advice. People of today never like advice. They hate advice. Show them evil and they immediately run after it abandoning what is good. May Allah not leave us to our ego Inshallah. We need to be careful and we need to accept advice. Lend an ear to advice. At least do not be against it.
Just listen to it even if you will not do it. It would stay in your heart and in your mind, and in the future you would think, “I wonder if it is right?” Even that would be of benefit to you and it could be salvation. May Allah fill all of our hearts with faith Inshallah. May Allah make us amongst those who accept advice Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
47.THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS Tuesday, 14 March 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.
Inshallah it will be a sohba for 1-2 minutes so the pillar of our tariqa comes true. It will benefit us and benefit you Inshallah. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He states in the Koran: “You are sad when something happens, whereas that thing is for your own good. And you like something else but it is bad for you and not good.” This is the same way all throughout our life.
What Allah wills is beautiful, and good is in what happens Inshallah. Allah Azza wa Jalla told us this nicely so we would not be sad for anything. However, humans are unaware of this and do not realize it, and are continuously in sorrow and anxiety. Whereas Allah Azza wa Jalla did everything, and His wish should be our command. We need to accept it. We will be comfortable if we accept it. It is said, “Things have a way of turning out for the best.” Our ancestors said it: “There is good in this too.” Yet people of today oppose immediately and say, “It cannot be like this sir! What is this? How awkward!” First they oppose those around them, then they take it further and also oppose Allah. Allah forbid! Therefore, we need not be sad for the conditions of this world. You need to say, “It is a blessing in disguise,” so that no matter how bad it might be, Allah would change it to good.
“Interpret it to be good and you will find good,” said our Holy Prophet. Whatever anxieties and sorrows there may be, may they turn good Inshallah. So it is the same for an individual, a person, or a society: they are all Allah’s commands. Inshallah from now on Allah will help Islam. Allah is always helping us but of course there are certain periods. Muslims might be repressed but surely in the end Allah’s help will be with Islam and with Muslims. Even if the whole world is against Islam, they cannot oppose Allah. The winner is Allah and those who are with Allah. Those who are against Allah can think of themselves as powerful as they like yet they are always unhappy. Therefore, Allah willing there is good in these things that are happening. May Allah grant us all the good and may the good be with us. May evil be for those who do not believe.
Walhamdu Lillahi Rabbil alamin. Al-Fatiha.
48.REAL MEN Wednesday, 15 March 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadū Llāha ‘alayh. Faminhum man qaḍá naḥbahu wa-minhum man yantaẓiru wa-mā baddalū tabdīlā." (33:23) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla praises. Whom? Believers, they are real men He says. They kept their promises to Allāh. They were firm in their belief. They remained constant. Allāh loves them. Some get old or they are martyred they change their world. They didn't change. Their belief didn't change. Their promises didn't change. They are Allāh's mum’in servants. The ones, Allāh loves. Rijāl means men.
Now it is difficult to find a man. Because man keeps his promise. Now 99% of people don't keep their promises. For their self interest, for their advantages, they change their minds like a weather vane, they say "blow hot and cold". Because people are all like this. They are like this because of weak belief. Real belief never changes. It is constant in the way of truth. They don't obey their ego, shayṭān and people around him. "I'm with truth, I won't leave the way of truth" they say. I found the beautiful way of Allāh and the Prophet. I never change it.
No need to change. Why? Because they are clever people. We found the way, believed it. We don't need anything, only Allāh. Saints, mashāyikh want Allāh. They don't want anything else, Allāh doesn't change. Lā yaḥūlu walā yazūlu. Allāh is present. They don't need to search anything else. Just to be in this beautiful way is the biggest favor for them. They don't want anything else. You can't change them. We'll be like them, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "Mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadū Llāha ‘alayhi faminhum man qaḍá naḥbahu wa-minhum man yantaẓiru wa-mā baddalū tabdīlā" (33:23) Allāh praise these people who they are honest for what they promised. And some of them died, some of them still alive; but nothing change them from what they promised. They promised to be with Allāh, with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to obey Allāh's order and to follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, his way. This is what they promised. These is people, they are believers. Real believers and He praise them as men, real men. These 'men' meaning [he] who say something and he not doing another thing. What he promised, he's honest for his promise. To be men who
are doing this, even woman, even child, even girl, even young man, these [are] all level of man. But nowadays we see very few people, they are real men even they have muscle or they have russle, anything But 99% of people these nowadays they are not honest for what they promised, not sincere.
They are doing, they are like we say something like fan, changing quickly. There is light also. Lighting, lighting, lighting like this, changing every time. These people these days they are like this. You can find very few people who are Allāh said about them. These people they are people of Allāh. And they are honest, sincere with promise. And this is, they are happy with this promise and what they promised. If they give them whole world, they are not changing from their love for Allāh, for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Because they are clever. And their main aim for them to be sincere servant for Allāh and to make Allāh pleased, to be pleased with them.
This is the most honor for them. Most happy for them to make this. They are not looking for another thing. For this, they don't... No danger for them to make them to change. Nothing can change them. They are like steel. Nothing affect them. And they were praised in Qur’ān in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Until Qiyāmah there is people like this. Because this is continuously. Allāh world continuous. So they are people like this. In shā’a Llāh, we hope to be like them, to try to be like them, to not be going from place to place. You must be in right way.
Once one lady, she is very sincere and she was, Mawlānā he liked her. Somebody take her to place, there is Shaykh. And when she come, Mawlānā he was very happy with her. But he said, pat on her head, he tell her "We didn't feed you anything? It is less for you? You couldn't take from here, you go there?" Mawlānā was sometimes very tough for this matter. He don't like his murīd to be... Maybe they are not enough for them. And this is only... Also she was very sincere. But for teaching us how Mawlānā he is like to be his murīd, honest about what they promise, not to change from here to here. Even for ziyārah that time only maybe for giving example for us, he was doing this for her. Because he said "Everything you have here. Why you go there?" And she said "Somebody take me." After he was happy with her.
So we must be what we promise. Promise it is from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam until qiyāmah same one, not changing. In shā’Allāh, Allāh make us to be like this, from these people, in shā’a Llāh. Āmīn.

49.WHO DOESN'T LOVE ME IS KĀFIR Thursday, 16 March 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, "Man lam yuḥibbanī faqad kafar." Aw kamā qāl. Ḥadith of our Prophet. Mā shaAllāh, he has hundreds of thousands This ḥadith addresses today's people. The Prophet talks about himself. Whoever doesn't love me is kāfir. Whoever doesn't love our Prophet is kāfir. It is as simple as that. It is a summary, these beautiful words of our Prophet. Whoever loves him has reached happiness.
Both here and hereafter they are blessed with Allāh's rewards. Whoever doesn't love the Prophet is unlucky. Not in a good condition. Even if he owns the world, it is of no benefit to him. Benefit is only with our Prophet's love. The more you love him the more you are raised in Allāh's presence you'll have honor, high ranks. Allāh loves you. If you love the Prophet Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla honors you.
Don't hesitate to glorify him. Don't doubt. Shayṭān enters from every door. Shayṭān may enter from the door of belief. "I'm a Muslim, a believer. I don't want to do shirk. So I won't love the Prophet. He says, "Whoever doesn't love me, is kāfir." When trying to save their belief, they fall into disbelief. They doubt our Prophet. We won't exaggerate if we say half of the Islamic world, maybe more are confused about it. "If we love our Prophet, is it shirk? Do we make partners to Allāh?" they think. Shayṭān entered from this door.
Love our Prophet. He says. Praise the Prophet. You love him as Allāh's beloved. Not idolising him like they do to ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām. All believers love him in that way. They love him on the way that our Prophet showed. Loving him is worshipping. It is the essence of worshipping. This is the summary of his beautiful words. "Whoever doesn't love me is kāfir." Now we see how the kāfir are attacking him. Because they don't love. We can't say anything. Kāfir is kāfir. Allāh punishes, curses or gives hidāyah. Allāh knows. More importantly we want to finish the fitnah inside Islām. It only finishes with the love of our Prophet with Allāh's permission.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying [in] ḥadīth. I, new I read this. But it's very important, very powerful. "Man lam yuḥibbunī faghad kafar." Aw kamā qāl. As we don't know, it look like this he said. "Who don't love me, he is kāfir, non-believer." This is very
short summary for Islām, how What is in Islām, what is Islām? It is love of Prophet. Islām the most powerful thing in Islām to be, we must love Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
It is the highest station for Muslim, for mu’min to praise Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and to love him. Of course, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he said "You must love me more than father, mother, other". But also maybe many people they cannot do this. But they must have love, respect and praise Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. If you don't do this, you say "We cannot do this", shayṭān coming from this door to make our belief... to finish our belief. As much as you can you be highest; finish all study, Islamic study, you know Qur’ān by heart, you know ḥadīth, you know everything.
But if you have, you don't have love for Prophet, you are nothing at all. That's not acceptable. But shayṭān coming from this door now. Maybe half of Muslims these days, they are like this. They are saying if you love Prophet, you are mushrik. This is ridiculous. Because you are learning Islām from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. And Prophet he tell you "If you don't love me, you are not Muslim." You are not acceptable.
So this is good tidings for people to not listen for these idiot people. They are making fitnah. And fitnah, only by love of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam we can finish this fitnah. Because this from his blessed mouth coming this word, this holy word. Until forever it is same, no changing for this. We must praise Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam as much as we can praise. No harm to do this for anybody. It is opposite. They give you more higher love for you in Divine Presence of Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla.
When you love more Prophet, he love you more. He will give you more blest. And we are saying this for Muslim people, for non-Muslim, it is not important. Because they have... not lucky. Lucky people: Muslim people. They must keep this. Because if you have whole world and you don't have this love for Prophet, it is not useful for you, not important. Important thing to be acceptable one in Divine Presence. And to be like this, only what you have to do, very nice thing to do, to love Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Allāh make us whole our life to praise Prophet, to love him and, in shā’Allāh, he love us also.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
50.THE WAY OF THE PROPHET Friday, 17 March 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, our ṭarīqah is strong. It is the way of our Prophet. This way reaches our Prophet. Ṭarīqah means way. People, who are connected to ṭarīqah, are connected to Allāh. Ṭarīqah is a need. Now people think ṭarīqah is not necessary. "Not for everyone, why would you be in ṭarīqah?" They don't welcome people, who are in the ṭarīqah. Some don't say anything. Thanks to Allāh, nobody bothers us but ṭarīqah is very important.
Because we aren't created for this world. Because of this, we should follow holy ones, murshids, beautiful ways whereever they may be. Of course you can't do it alone. You'll do it once or twice on your own then give up. But if you are in ṭarīqah and connected to a murshid, he gives you duties. Daily and weekly. Some are once in a lifetime. You feel obliged to do them because you have a murshid. Actually in ṭarīqah there is no force because you are in ṭarīqah. It is about the heart.
Things from the heart they need a helper. Someone guiding him. Thanks to Allāh, our ṭarīqah shows the way. Naqshbandī ṭarīqah shukur to Allāh is the most beautiful ṭarīqah. Other ṭarīqahs are also holy. But you should believe and trust the ṭarīqah, that you are following. That's how you benefit. If you say "Ours is good like others" then you didn't give your heart completely. We respect other ṭarīqahs too. They are all ḥaqq, holy. But if you follow a way, you have to keep it strong. You should keep firm. You'll get the blessings.
Like we said daily duties is to do all the farḍ, that the sharī‘ah orders. Worshipping, fasting, giving zakāt, going to ḥajj, if you have money you'll give zakāt and go to ḥajj. If you don't have money, it isn't farḍ. Then there are supererogatory practices. It is needed, obligatory for the people of ṭarīqah to do supererogatory practices. It is better not to leave them. If you leave them, it isn't a sin but you'll get less rewards. Because we entered this way for Allāh we'll try to do our best so that Allāh looks at us with mercy and grace.
We ask Allāh's mercy and pleasure. We also have daily duties. Dhikr, Qur’ān, Dalā’ilu khayrāt, ṣalawāt, Lā ilāha ill Alāh, Allāh Allāh, people do these. According to their ranks. They start with less, they increase the number. Then there is seclusion for ṭarīqah people
once in a lifetime. Seclusion may Allāh be pleased Shaykh ‘Adnān is an expert on that. Mā shā’Allāh, he made more than 40 I guess it isn't an easy thing. So people of ṭarīqah should do this.
Shukur to Allāh our shaykh gave us a seclusion according to our situation. It starts in Rajab. Forty days. Starts two hours before morning prayer, until ishrāq. Maybe between maghrib and ‘ishā’ or between ‘aṣr and ‘ishā’. If you do it you are rewarded. They call these forty days; arba‘īn. They also call it seclusion. Shakyh ‘Adnān's instruction to sit somewhere for forty days, without seeing anyone, without saying anything worldly. If you think "What will we do in 40 days?" You hardly finish duties. So much Dhikr, Qur’ān you hardly finish them in one day.
But it isn't only that there are tests in seclusion. Some say lions come, some things come out for some people. But there are people, who don't see these. There are worse things bad ego, shayṭān, waswasah is much worse. If a lion or a dragon comes out, swallows you it isn't more scary than the evil ego. It is important to fight and win over them with Allāh's permission and go out victorious.
Shaykh ‘Adnān Shukur to Allāh people, who wanted to do seclusion Mawlānā used to delegate to Shaykh ‘Adnān. "He'll take care of you" he said. Mā shā’Allāh he has a lot of patience. It isn't easy, people go in and out. They think they finished. It isn't finishing, it is starting. You'll continue training your ego for your rank. Don't leave it and say "I did seclusion, it's finished". On the contrary, that seclusion's responsibility goes on all your life until death, its blessing also continues.
Because Allāh's reward is according to the difficulty. Now it is starting on the 1st of Rajab. Like we said Mawlānā gave us permission even once in your lifetime you can do partly seclusion from two hours before fajr to ishrāq. Wake up and worship with a seclusion intention. Do your dhikr, read Qur’ān. For forty days. It will be accepted with Allāh's permission. If you don't do seclusion in this world, not everyone but the people of ṭarīqah their seclusion will be in the grave. Because their ranks are high, they have duties.
If they don't do their duties they aren't in the ṭarīqah. If they don't do it in this world they make you do it in the grave, in barzakh. That is more difficult and its reward isn't like here. Mawlānā often said; "Saying Lā ilāha ill Allāh once when alive, is more rewarding than being in the grave for thousand years." So appreciate the value of your time in this world. Don't waste it. We aren't created for this world. We are created for ākhirah. We have to complete our duties here and go to ākhirah lightly. Important to be prosperous in ākhirah. May Allāh show us those days, in shā’Allāh. We are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, following ṭariqah, following way. Ṭarīqah meaning way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. And why we are following this? Many people, all especially between
Muslim people, they are looking for ṭarīqah, for ṭarīqah meaning way for Prophet and other name taṣawwuf. Taṣawwuf meaning you must be in ṭarīqah. And there is many enemies for ṭarīqah, for taṣawwuf. Even Muslim, many of them looking for ṭarīqah as who are not enemy for ṭarīqah even, like salafī or wahhābī.
They are looking for ṭarīqah as something that it is not necessary for Muslim. This is ridiculous. Because ṭarīqah is the main thing for going, way to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Our is life not for this dunyā. Our life is for ākhirah, for next life, eternal life. So ṭarīqah it is showing us this way and coming from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam as a way for heaven, for good things. Of course, many people they said "No need for this. We're praying, we're doing, practicing. So no need for ṭarīqah."
Ṭarīqah showing us, put you in discipline. And you're following your murshid. You're following order of murshid. And this order coming from first from sharī‘ah. First thing for ṭarīqah people, they must be practicing order of Allāh. First to pray farḍ and to fast Ramaḍān. After, to give charities, zakāt who have money and to go to ḥajj. Who has enough money to go ḥajj. This is first thing.
Who are saying "I am in ṭarīqah", the first order to make this order of Allāh and Prophet. After this to make nafl. The sunnah who are Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was doing. Praying all sunnah, especially for sunnah of praying five times praying. Every time we have sunnah. For fajr two raka‘āt sunnah, two raka‘āt farḍ. For ẓuhr, four sunnah before farḍ and two or four as you like after farḍ. For ‘aṣr, we have also four. For maghrib also we have two. But there is sunnah ghayri mu’akkadah also. For ‘ishā’ also we have four before, four after and witr. This is what... We must do this first who are following ṭarīqah. They said "Our madhhab not this is sunnah."
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, other madhhab also there is they're saying sunnah, they're not saying to forbid to pray sunnah. Who are in ṭarīqah, he must pray all sunnah. After this, there is nafl also. For ishrāq, for ḍuhā, for awwābīn, for tahajjud, for qiyāmu l-layl, tasbīh, najāt, shukr. All these ṭarīqah people, they are following this, doing this. If they are alone, they cannot do. And other thing, this is for every day they must do. And for ḥajj or zakāt once a year. For Ramaḍān also farḍ once a year one month Ramaḍān. But other also to fast holy days and blessed days you must who are in ṭarīqah he must do it. And for ḥajj once in life. And there are other also things.
There is for who are following ṭarīqah, there is one not for common people but for who are in ṭarīqah. He must do seclusion once a life. And this seclusion is 40 days. 40 days Mawlānā Shaykh he was giving this order to Shaykh Adnān. He is, mā shā’Allāh, expert for this. When somebody ask for seclusion, he was sending for Shaykh Adnān to look for him. Because, mā shā’Allāh, he made more than 40 times seclusion. Seclusion it is not easy. It is very difficult thing. For this, Mawlānā he was making easy for who following
ṭarīqah to make 40 days but not full-time. Full-time it is real very difficult. And they have test. It is making people some of them to lose their mind. It is not easy. So for this, he was giving two hours before fajr until sunrise. Intention for khalwah 40 days from beginning of Rajab until 10th of Sha‘bān to do this. For all murīd who can do. They can do this year, next year. But they must do it once. This is who are following ṭarīqah, following Mawlānā. He order this. It's not only his order, it is from time a

ndred. At the end, also Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla from His mercy for these people, because they are searching for something, for reality; at the end also He open for them. So no need. Allāh wa-Llāhu yad‘ū ilá dāri s- salām (10:25) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He calling people to house of peace, paradise. Come quickly. No need to go tired too much. Come directly. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh Allāh top of these mountains the people finding way of Allāh.
Mā shā’Allāh you see because this way not new way, new fashion. No. Same way from first Prophet Sayyidinā Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. We believe at the end of the world will come Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām and Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām together. So all believers they will be accepting the right way. We are believe he is alive and Allāh take him and not harming him from any people. He's safe in heaven. When time coming, and I think it is very near, he will come and save human being with Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām, in shā’a Llāh. And it look like these days it's very... everything mixed up. Violence, war, pollution, economy - everything finished. Look like these days, look like bankrupt. They finish Communism. Now all Western countries, all like more worse than communist. People only can work, only for live. They cannot have anything more. This what it was in Soviet Union and other communist countries. Only they have house. And house also not for them. And they were giving food. It's only like this. They try to save themselves like this. But no, finished this world. This time very near. But we don't know because Allāh only He know best when it's time. But when this system finish, system of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, the best system. And who take care for this, their best very nice days, in shā’Allāh. This is what we believe and we are telling people to be happy. Because this not for it will be like this forever. Only little time. We hope to reach these days, in shā’Allāh. Thank You.

39.A SPECIAL LOVE FOR MAWLANA Sunday, 5 March, 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.
In shā’Allāh this ṣuḥbah be from Mawlānā to make our hearts more love for Allāh and to make less love for dunyā. Mawlāna's first thing, he teach people and he attract people not with hate, only with beauty and with love. And he was so tolerant. Just people to put their feet in ṭarīqah, or way of Allāh first step. He tried everything for this. Even he can do what other people, Muslim they are objecting "What are you doing?" This is... But, of course, they cannot come and say it for his face. But behind him making backbiting "This Shaykh is not maybe not showing people right way". And they try to make problem. Because he is 100% with Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
He is not looking for any criticizing from people and not listening to them. Because this time - time of people, second ignorance time. First ignorance, it was time of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. They are not believing in Prophet ", not believing in religion, real religion, just following, worshipping idols. But they were believing in something and worshipping this thing. Even this, they were ignorance time. For Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he " struggle and make these people give them real belief. They were tribes attacking each other, killing, taking everything from other tribes. This was their life. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he come and make them the top of civilization ever been. And al-ḥamdu liLlāh they are going East and West, North and South giving light of Prophet ", light of Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla for whole world - ṣaḥābah. Until Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was saying, there is another time for ignorance.
First one - first ignorance time. Second one - second ignorance time, jāhilīyah thānī. The second one, it is more worse than first one. It is not double, not triple, maybe thousand times worse than first one. For Mawlānā in this time he was making these people to come to right way. Middle of this ignorance, make people to accept Lord ’Azza wa Jalla and His order and way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. But first ignorance time they were accepting and worshipping something and accepting like God. They said not one God, maybe ten, three, twelve thousand. They said accept something for that. But this time the most worst ignorance, the whole half of human being, they are not accepting Creator, the Lord Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla. This is the worst. And with power of īmān and
belief Mawlānā was putting in heart of these people belief. And they were accepting reality and coming to way of light, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
It is not an easy thing. It must be spiritual power. And the spiritual power not coming from himself, coming through strong station. From Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam coming to him. And from his power of spiritual power, the people even only they see him, looking for him, they become Muslim, become in ṭarīqah. Even for this, Mawlānā was travelling around to show people himself. Even in dream many people become, they find him and accept him. Shaykh Jamāluddīn and others all were many times they go and travelling with him and they see many things like this. The last long trip we were with him in going to Uzbekistan. From Uzbekistan to Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. And we go Japan. First time. And once he went, Mawlānā, by his bodily for Japan. But spiritually of course he's going around the world. In Tokyo, there was mosque they built by Turkish Diyānat. And it was real nice they built as Turkish mosque. And we go and visit this mosque with Mawlānā. It was night, maybe 10 or 11 o'clock. There was Japanese people coming. And so one of them he said "I saw this man in my dream". And he speaking. After he asked to make shahādah. After other one six Japanese in that night become Muslim. Like this, hundred thousand of examples.
And people who was not happy with his way to make people to come to Islām, they are now, they cannot say anything. So, in shā’Allāh, we are happy to be here also in this city. It is the oldest city. Mawlānā he was coming here to make people meet them here and many times make ṣuḥbah and sleep and eat and give lecture, ṣuḥbah, dhikr. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh he make strong base here. He was... In shā’Allāh he is with us now also, his barakah. He not looking so much for details, small things. He just look for people they are accepting and to practice slowly slowly. He was giving them chance. It's ok, he said. But by themselves they are complete what Mawlānā he like and they try to imitate him without saying anything. They are by themselves, they are doing this. And everybody he know Mawlānā and his ṣuḥbah, maybe his ṣuḥbah. I said if you want I speak, 100 years, no need to any ṣuḥbah, any lecture. But for barakah we do this.
Mawlānā he show us everything, tell us everything, what to do. He was many... Mawlānā he was accepting everybody. For this also, people they said "How he accept this? People, they are doing this, they are doing that." Now some people in Turkey or other place they love Mawlānā. But of course, their way is very different from Mawlānā's way. I told them Mawlānā accept everybody. It is not problem. You cannot, if anybody come to you, to make hard and to be tough for him. No need. He is coming, he is guest. Guest, he is welcome. If you will say anything, if Mawlānā he is following this man who is coming, doing anything, if he's doing something like him, you can say "What Mawlānā doing?" or "He's out of way." No. Mawlānā accept everybody but not following anybody. Who coming, in shā’a Llāh, he will follow Mawlānā. For everything like this... Even in our ṭarīqah some people they are happy with this, some people with other.
But we must look for Mawlānā, what he said for this matter, for this problem, how he was acting, how he was doing. We must follow him. And he is not from hundred years or two hundred years.
Just he was with us and al-ḥamdu liLlāh this technology not good, but sometimes it's good. Everything we record for Mawlānā. Everything he was doing we know. Once our brother he was asking to make book for Mawlānā acting from morning to evening, to see ‘ibādah and other things. One of... I don't know in Spain or Argentine. Someone he said "I like to do this", take permission. So I said "Ok, you can do."
Many times he went to interfaith meeting. And he is just to say for them for reality. Because other people go there only to be surrender to themselves. But Mawlānā was saying truth for these people to be show them right way. Because these people, many people, they are really clever people and when they hear truth, they come to truth. And his way, he feel himself responsible for everybody he coming asking advice, asking for knowledge. Even he's very tired, he was looking for this man or lady. But for what we're saying this? We're saying this for our brothers, sisters here, all, mā shā’a Llāh, following Mawlānā way. And they are, in shā’a Llāh, be happy and safe from shayṭān and his army. Shayṭān can come from any door. The most dangerous enemy - who look like friend. If somebody say you "I am your enemy", ok. Thank you, I can be away from you. But if you say "I am friend" and other, he will come and hit you from behind - it is, this is the problem.
So we must be all time remember Mawlānā Shaykh and his advice in his ṣuḥbah and his way of life. This can give us strong īmān and belief to fight against shayṭān and ego and his follower. Allāh keep you safe from these enemies, you and your generation, in shā’Allāh. All generation be in right way, not following any wrong way, in shā’Allāh. With barakah of Mawlānā, in shā’Allāh. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh I am seeing here love of Mawlānā in this area. Real they are, they have this love, special love. And may Allāh make it more and more, in shā’Allāh.

40.MONEY DOES NOT WORK IN THE HEREAFTER Tuesday, 7 March 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.
Auzu Billahi Minash-shaitanir Rajim. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. “Yawma la yanfau malun wala banoon. Illa men atallaha biqalbin saleem.” (Sura Shu’ara:88-89) Allah Azza wa Jalla states: “The Day when wealth or children will not benefit anyone. But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.”
Even in this world sometimes neither your money nor anything else is of use. There are times when nothing is of use. Allah Azza wa Jalla shows these in this world as a trial so that you make sure to have faith in your heart for the hereafter. What is meant by salim, meaning a safe heart, is a heart with faith. If it is without faith, one can have as much worldly possessions and as much money as one likes but it is no use at all.
We had an uncle-in-law whose father escaped from Russia and went to Hejaz. The Communist Revolution erupted before he escaped. It has been a 100 years now. The man had no idea. He had a shop. All the money was null and void. They would come and buy so much and he did not know. He was happy he was selling and making money. He suddenly found out money had no use, no value anymore. It was null and void.
It is the same way in the hereafter. Money has no value whatsoever. If you are going to do good and worship in the world then do it, so later you are not sorry you did not do it. Do as much as possible in this world. It is valid for the hereafter. But when you pass to the hereafter it is said, “The burial cloth has no pockets,” you cannot take anything to the hereafter. If you are to do something do it here. May our hearts be solidly full of iman Inshallah.

41.IT IS GOOD TO ACCEPT ADVICE Wednesday, 8 March 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. “Allathina yastamiunal qawla fayattabiuna ahsanah.” “Those who listen to speech and follow the best of it.” (Sura Zumar:18) It is also the dua of our Holy Prophet, “Make us amongst those who accept advice,” he says:
“Allahumma ij’alna minallathina yastami’unal qawla wayattabiuna ahsanah.” There are many types of advice. Advice is showing the good. Showing the bad is not advice, it is doing evil. People need to listen and accept what is good, what is ordered, and accept the advice. If they listen, it is for their own good. If they do not accept then as they like.
Human beings need to know what is good and what is bad, what is good and what is bad for themselves. They are in loss if they do not know this. Advice is important, and it is a beautiful thing to accept advice. However, people of today do not want advice or anything of the sort. They are only looking for ways to do what their ego likes.
If it does not fit their ego, “This is not advice,” they say. Whereas advice is not good for a person’s ego but for a person’s soul. The ego does not want anything but evil. You are always in loss if you follow your ego. The ego does not take you to any goodness. Therefore, listen to advice even if it is hard on your ego. Lend an ear even if it does not fit your ego. You will be profiting in the end. Allah Azza wa Jalla: Allah glorified and exalted be he .
If not, if a person goes after one’s ego, one is always in loss and it would not be of benefit. When Allah Azza wa Jalla created this life, He gave humans willpower. There is willpower for people to hold their ego, to rule over their ego. It can be done if one wants it. Do not let go of your ego’s leash. Control yourself. May Allah give everybody that power so that nobody is harmed by their ego. Amin.
Wal hamdu lillahi Rabbil alamin. Al-Fatiha.
42.OFFER PRAYERS ON TIME Thursday, 9 March 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. “Innassalata kaanat alal muminina kitaban mawqoota.” (Sura Nisa:103) Allah Azza wa Jalla states: “Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon Muslims, the believers, a decree of specified times.” The first obligation from the pillars [of Islam] is namaz.
Those who offer prayers are saved and those who do not are resurrected very heavily on the Day of Judgment. But other than that, today’s issue is a little different. Now, new ideas are coming out. They are not offering prayer five times but three times, combining it. Allah Azza wa Jalla says in the Koran, “Prayer has its times.” “Is it written?” they say! The Koran shows its times, it came out of the sacred mouth of our Holy Prophet, and he prayed five daily prayers.
If you are to offer prayers before its time when travelling, you only pray it like that at hajj in the Hanafi [school of thought]. However, in the Shafii [school of thought] if you are travelling you can pray Zuhr and Asr together lump sum. You can also pray Maghreb and Isha together. If you like you can pray it early or if you like you can delay it a little and pray them both as jami takhir. What is meant by jami taqdim is when offering Zuhr also offering Asr. If you could not pray it and it is late, then you pray Zuhr and Asr at the time of Asr.
This is the case when travelling. However, abruptly saying, “There is no five times. Three times is alright!” would be contrary to and opposing our Holy Prophet. It would not fit his orders. Actually, it would not be accepted because it does not work when it is not time.
There is time. Allah Azza wa Jalla created time. It is also a creature, a created creature. There is a wisdom behind it too. You will pray on time. You gain the rewards when you pray on time. If you pass the time, our Holy Prophet says, “You can pray 1000 rakats or 100,000 rakats if you like, but still you cannot gain the virtue2 of the prayer offered on time.”
Be careful! There are newly emerging fools pretending to be clever. They are pretending to be scholars. They are saying prayers are three times a day. Do not be fooled by them! Your good deeds would be lost for nothing and your efforts would be for nothing. Of course on Judgment Day they will look at offered sunna prayers for not offered [obligatory] prayers. They will be added on and if it is complete with them then Allah will forgive. They would be applied as much less in virtue, but when they are not enough, 80 years of offering prayers is required for each prayer. Over here a human lives 80 years, call it 100 years. In the hereafter, they will make you pray one lifetime for one prayer.
Therefore, pay attention here. Pay attention to prayer times as well. Do not be deprived of its virtues and do not be committing sin. Much care should be given to this matter of namaz.

43.KNOWLEDGE IS LEARNT WITH ADAB
Friday, 10 March 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 states: “Allahumma inni authu bika min ilmin la yanfa” “We seek refuge in You from useless knowledge,” says our Holy Prophet to Allah Exalted and Glorious be He. How can it be useless when you learn knowledge and suffer so much for it? Of course it would be of no use if you use it for your own benefit, for worldly benefit. It would be useful knowledge if you use it on the path of Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Knowledge is what makes Allah widely known and notifies of Allah. The rest is not knowledge. So it is not important if one is a university graduate and does not practice what one studied. It is not important if one earned a degree in business administration but works at the municipality and hangs the diploma there. These are not considered knowledge anyway. These are things for this world and will remain in this world. They are not lasting.
Knowledge is what shows the path of Allah. They call it religious knowledge, theology. This is knowledge. If it becomes useless then we seek refuge in Allah. We seek refuge in Allah since it is not useful, it is of no use, to its owner nor anybody else. As long as it is useless to its owner, it is no use to anybody else. In fact, it is harmful. It would either make people go astray or people would say, “If this guy is a scholar why should we ever learn knowledge?”
It is obviously useless. So they have done it all for nothing and on top of that it carries sin. They go wherever there is a thing for self-benefit and for fame, and they appear on TV and talk much. “The one who talks much errs much,” says our Holy Prophet. The one who speaks a lot lies as well.
Therefore, those who study knowledge, those who seek knowledge, whoever they may be even if from amongst the laymen, they should study for their knowledge to be of benefit and not for self-interest. Those people who come out slandering others saying, “I am a greater scholar!” are worse. They would be committing sin too. May Allah help them, may Allah show them the right path.
Scholarship, being a person of knowledge is a great station. Before learning the knowledge, one should know the wisdom behind it and its virtue. Those who teach should teach that this knowledge is nothing: if you do not act by it or do not give it its due, then it is of no use and it would harm you.
They teach anybody who comes and give lessons without saying a thing. The one who teaches and the one who is learning are almost the same anyway. Actually, along with the discipline and knowledge one learns from that person, the personality of the one who teaches is also important so that students look up to their teachers and resemble them. Woe on our situation if the teachers are like themselves. May Allah help us all. May we learn knowledge with adab Inshallah so that it may be useful knowledge.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
44.EVERY ACTION HAS ITS REACTION Saturday, 11 March 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.
Allah Exalted and Glorified be He created this world in such a way that everything you do has its reaction. Just as you press on a spring, the more you press down the higher it jumps, it is the same with everything done by humans. Things certainly have their reaction. If you do good, you find good in return. If not, if you do evil, you will certainly answer for it and get its retribution.
When Allah Azza wa Jalla created this Universe, He created it as such so everybody knows they are creatures. Reaction results from everything everyone does. Because Allah Azza wa Jalla is not a creature, everybody except for Him is a creature. Some people have declared themselves to be god, and others are worshipping things as god. It is a great proof you are a creature if something comes out of a thing you do.
There is no reaction only for Allah Azza wa Jalla. Allah would give your pay for what you do, but nobody can give anything to Allah, because everything is His and in His hands. Because nobody can give Him anything He is the Khaliq, the Creator. All beautiful names and attributes belong to Allah Azza wa Jalla. And most traits are traits not available in humans. Allah Azza wa Jalla gave people some traits, but essentially potency, pride, and haughtiness all belong to Allah.
He says, “Subhanal Azim ul-Khallaq.” The Creator is Allah and what is called Subhan is Allah. People are weak and people will only get the returns of what they do. Allah Azza wa Jalla gives people as He likes with His generosity. He gives little and He gives a lot. Nobody can ask Him, “Why did you give it? Why did you do that?” Therefore, let us know our place, do good, and avoid evil InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
45.BE WITH ALLAH Sunday, 12 March 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.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is with believers. There is good in everything that occurs. We have no problem as long as we are on the path Allah wants us to be and Allah willing everything turns out beautiful. It is End Times now. There is a battle between truth and falsehood. Haqq is with Allah and Batil is with Shaitan. No matter how numerous they might appear, in the end those who are against Allah are in loss.
Be with Allah. You would be relieved and get the best of it. There is no need to be sad for anything from this world’s material. Or do not be thinking, “This one likes me and that one does not.” It is enough for Allah to love us. Anyone else is of no use because humankind is bound by its ego. And its ego means selfishness. People think about their own ego and their own benefit first and may use everybody. Therefore, let us be with Allah, let us not fear anybody, and let us not refrain from anybody.
Allah Azza wa Jalla does not have bombs and guns but He can make bombs and guns stop working. Allah is the one capable of everything. Even if the whole world were to gather upon you, as long as He does not want it nothing would happen to you Allah willing. As has been said, let us be with Allah and let us not worry about and be concerned about anything. Everything is with Him: He is the Razzaq, He is the powerful, He is the haughty, He is the able and the capable, and everything is in His hands.
Therefore, if people think about this and have faith believing in it, nothing would affect them and they would spend their lives in Allah’s consent. Inshallah these things that happen in the world are to guide people to the right way. Iron takes form by being pounded. Let us not be amongst those who get pounded but do not take lesson. Let us take lesson since this is strength given by Allah for us, it is His help for us Inshallah. May Allah help us all. May Islam be victorious and kufr be defeated. Inshallah may Mahdi Alayhis Salam come as soon as possible.
Al-Fatiha.
46.EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY DO Monday, 13 March 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.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He commands us goodness. Every goodness is within the command of Allah. Allah orders good and the ego orders us the exact opposite, evil. When humans follow their ego, they descend to the lowest levels. When they do not follow their ego but follow Allah’s commands their level, their station, rises. It is the same between people and in the sight of Allah.
Allah shows this world as a place of trials. He placed the ego, He placed Shaitan, and He placed the inclination. If you say, “I could not stand it and I did it,” you would be harming yourself. Because nobody else is going to suffer for what you did. You are responsible. Everyone is responsible for what they do. The responsibility is upon them.
Saying, “I did it but this man would help me,” you cannot do it like that without repenting. Allah would forgive you for what you did, but on the other hand if you are to do all evil and go against Allah, then you would not be forgiven. And nobody would help you because everything has its method. In recompense for what you did, if you repent or ask for help from someone they would help you, they would show you the right way, and they can also prevent you from what you are to do.
However, if you do it as you like and neither ask for forgiveness nor repent, that time you will suffer its punishment.
Islam is the religion of humility, the religion of advice, and the religion of goodness. Follow it and submit to it. Do not submit to evil, to Shaitan, and to your ego. The ego, as has been said, shows good as evil and evil as good. How are we going to know this? It is knowable. There are guides and there are good people. Everyone knows the evil you have done and you know it within yourself, but people fool themselves by themselves.
We need to accept advice and we need to lend an ear to advice. People of today never like advice. They hate advice. Show them evil and they immediately run after it abandoning what is good. May Allah not leave us to our ego Inshallah. We need to be careful and we need to accept advice. Lend an ear to advice. At least do not be against it.
Just listen to it even if you will not do it. It would stay in your heart and in your mind, and in the future you would think, “I wonder if it is right?” Even that would be of benefit to you and it could be salvation. May Allah fill all of our hearts with faith Inshallah. May Allah make us amongst those who accept advice Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
47.THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS Tuesday, 14 March 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.
Inshallah it will be a sohba for 1-2 minutes so the pillar of our tariqa comes true. It will benefit us and benefit you Inshallah. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He states in the Koran: “You are sad when something happens, whereas that thing is for your own good. And you like something else but it is bad for you and not good.” This is the same way all throughout our life.
What Allah wills is beautiful, and good is in what happens Inshallah. Allah Azza wa Jalla told us this nicely so we would not be sad for anything. However, humans are unaware of this and do not realize it, and are continuously in sorrow and anxiety. Whereas Allah Azza wa Jalla did everything, and His wish should be our command. We need to accept it. We will be comfortable if we accept it. It is said, “Things have a way of turning out for the best.” Our ancestors said it: “There is good in this too.” Yet people of today oppose immediately and say, “It cannot be like this sir! What is this? How awkward!” First they oppose those around them, then they take it further and also oppose Allah. Allah forbid! Therefore, we need not be sad for the conditions of this world. You need to say, “It is a blessing in disguise,” so that no matter how bad it might be, Allah would change it to good.
“Interpret it to be good and you will find good,” said our Holy Prophet. Whatever anxieties and sorrows there may be, may they turn good Inshallah. So it is the same for an individual, a person, or a society: they are all Allah’s commands. Inshallah from now on Allah will help Islam. Allah is always helping us but of course there are certain periods. Muslims might be repressed but surely in the end Allah’s help will be with Islam and with Muslims. Even if the whole world is against Islam, they cannot oppose Allah. The winner is Allah and those who are with Allah. Those who are against Allah can think of themselves as powerful as they like yet they are always unhappy. Therefore, Allah willing there is good in these things that are happening. May Allah grant us all the good and may the good be with us. May evil be for those who do not believe.
Walhamdu Lillahi Rabbil alamin. Al-Fatiha.
48.REAL MEN Wednesday, 15 March 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadū Llāha ‘alayh. Faminhum man qaḍá naḥbahu wa-minhum man yantaẓiru wa-mā baddalū tabdīlā." (33:23) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla praises. Whom? Believers, they are real men He says. They kept their promises to Allāh. They were firm in their belief. They remained constant. Allāh loves them. Some get old or they are martyred they change their world. They didn't change. Their belief didn't change. Their promises didn't change. They are Allāh's mum’in servants. The ones, Allāh loves. Rijāl means men.
Now it is difficult to find a man. Because man keeps his promise. Now 99% of people don't keep their promises. For their self interest, for their advantages, they change their minds like a weather vane, they say "blow hot and cold". Because people are all like this. They are like this because of weak belief. Real belief never changes. It is constant in the way of truth. They don't obey their ego, shayṭān and people around him. "I'm with truth, I won't leave the way of truth" they say. I found the beautiful way of Allāh and the Prophet. I never change it.
No need to change. Why? Because they are clever people. We found the way, believed it. We don't need anything, only Allāh. Saints, mashāyikh want Allāh. They don't want anything else, Allāh doesn't change. Lā yaḥūlu walā yazūlu. Allāh is present. They don't need to search anything else. Just to be in this beautiful way is the biggest favor for them. They don't want anything else. You can't change them. We'll be like them, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "Mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadū Llāha ‘alayhi faminhum man qaḍá naḥbahu wa-minhum man yantaẓiru wa-mā baddalū tabdīlā" (33:23) Allāh praise these people who they are honest for what they promised. And some of them died, some of them still alive; but nothing change them from what they promised. They promised to be with Allāh, with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to obey Allāh's order and to follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, his way. This is what they promised. These is people, they are believers. Real believers and He praise them as men, real men. These 'men' meaning [he] who say something and he not doing another thing. What he promised, he's honest for his promise. To be men who
are doing this, even woman, even child, even girl, even young man, these [are] all level of man. But nowadays we see very few people, they are real men even they have muscle or they have russle, anything But 99% of people these nowadays they are not honest for what they promised, not sincere.
They are doing, they are like we say something like fan, changing quickly. There is light also. Lighting, lighting, lighting like this, changing every time. These people these days they are like this. You can find very few people who are Allāh said about them. These people they are people of Allāh. And they are honest, sincere with promise. And this is, they are happy with this promise and what they promised. If they give them whole world, they are not changing from their love for Allāh, for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Because they are clever. And their main aim for them to be sincere servant for Allāh and to make Allāh pleased, to be pleased with them.
This is the most honor for them. Most happy for them to make this. They are not looking for another thing. For this, they don't... No danger for them to make them to change. Nothing can change them. They are like steel. Nothing affect them. And they were praised in Qur’ān in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Until Qiyāmah there is people like this. Because this is continuously. Allāh world continuous. So they are people like this. In shā’a Llāh, we hope to be like them, to try to be like them, to not be going from place to place. You must be in right way.
Once one lady, she is very sincere and she was, Mawlānā he liked her. Somebody take her to place, there is Shaykh. And when she come, Mawlānā he was very happy with her. But he said, pat on her head, he tell her "We didn't feed you anything? It is less for you? You couldn't take from here, you go there?" Mawlānā was sometimes very tough for this matter. He don't like his murīd to be... Maybe they are not enough for them. And this is only... Also she was very sincere. But for teaching us how Mawlānā he is like to be his murīd, honest about what they promise, not to change from here to here. Even for ziyārah that time only maybe for giving example for us, he was doing this for her. Because he said "Everything you have here. Why you go there?" And she said "Somebody take me." After he was happy with her.
So we must be what we promise. Promise it is from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam until qiyāmah same one, not changing. In shā’Allāh, Allāh make us to be like this, from these people, in shā’a Llāh. Āmīn.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
49.WHO DOESN'T LOVE ME IS KĀFIR Thursday, 16 March 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, "Man lam yuḥibbanī faqad kafar." Aw kamā qāl. Ḥadith of our Prophet. Mā shaAllāh, he has hundreds of thousands This ḥadith addresses today's people. The Prophet talks about himself. Whoever doesn't love me is kāfir. Whoever doesn't love our Prophet is kāfir. It is as simple as that. It is a summary, these beautiful words of our Prophet. Whoever loves him has reached happiness.
Both here and hereafter they are blessed with Allāh's rewards. Whoever doesn't love the Prophet is unlucky. Not in a good condition. Even if he owns the world, it is of no benefit to him. Benefit is only with our Prophet's love. The more you love him the more you are raised in Allāh's presence you'll have honor, high ranks. Allāh loves you. If you love the Prophet Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla honors you.
Don't hesitate to glorify him. Don't doubt. Shayṭān enters from every door. Shayṭān may enter from the door of belief. "I'm a Muslim, a believer. I don't want to do shirk. So I won't love the Prophet. He says, "Whoever doesn't love me, is kāfir." When trying to save their belief, they fall into disbelief. They doubt our Prophet. We won't exaggerate if we say half of the Islamic world, maybe more are confused about it. "If we love our Prophet, is it shirk? Do we make partners to Allāh?" they think. Shayṭān entered from this door.
Love our Prophet. He says. Praise the Prophet. You love him as Allāh's beloved. Not idolising him like they do to ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām. All believers love him in that way. They love him on the way that our Prophet showed. Loving him is worshipping. It is the essence of worshipping. This is the summary of his beautiful words. "Whoever doesn't love me is kāfir." Now we see how the kāfir are attacking him. Because they don't love. We can't say anything. Kāfir is kāfir. Allāh punishes, curses or gives hidāyah. Allāh knows. More importantly we want to finish the fitnah inside Islām. It only finishes with the love of our Prophet with Allāh's permission.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying [in] ḥadīth. I, new I read this. But it's very important, very powerful. "Man lam yuḥibbunī faghad kafar." Aw kamā qāl. As we don't know, it look like this he said. "Who don't love me, he is kāfir, non-believer." This is very
short summary for Islām, how What is in Islām, what is Islām? It is love of Prophet. Islām the most powerful thing in Islām to be, we must love Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
It is the highest station for Muslim, for mu’min to praise Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and to love him. Of course, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he said "You must love me more than father, mother, other". But also maybe many people they cannot do this. But they must have love, respect and praise Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. If you don't do this, you say "We cannot do this", shayṭān coming from this door to make our belief... to finish our belief. As much as you can you be highest; finish all study, Islamic study, you know Qur’ān by heart, you know ḥadīth, you know everything.
But if you have, you don't have love for Prophet, you are nothing at all. That's not acceptable. But shayṭān coming from this door now. Maybe half of Muslims these days, they are like this. They are saying if you love Prophet, you are mushrik. This is ridiculous. Because you are learning Islām from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. And Prophet he tell you "If you don't love me, you are not Muslim." You are not acceptable.
So this is good tidings for people to not listen for these idiot people. They are making fitnah. And fitnah, only by love of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam we can finish this fitnah. Because this from his blessed mouth coming this word, this holy word. Until forever it is same, no changing for this. We must praise Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam as much as we can praise. No harm to do this for anybody. It is opposite. They give you more higher love for you in Divine Presence of Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla.
When you love more Prophet, he love you more. He will give you more blest. And we are saying this for Muslim people, for non-Muslim, it is not important. Because they have... not lucky. Lucky people: Muslim people. They must keep this. Because if you have whole world and you don't have this love for Prophet, it is not useful for you, not important. Important thing to be acceptable one in Divine Presence. And to be like this, only what you have to do, very nice thing to do, to love Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Allāh make us whole our life to praise Prophet, to love him and, in shā’Allāh, he love us also.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
50.THE WAY OF THE PROPHET Friday, 17 March 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, our ṭarīqah is strong. It is the way of our Prophet. This way reaches our Prophet. Ṭarīqah means way. People, who are connected to ṭarīqah, are connected to Allāh. Ṭarīqah is a need. Now people think ṭarīqah is not necessary. "Not for everyone, why would you be in ṭarīqah?" They don't welcome people, who are in the ṭarīqah. Some don't say anything. Thanks to Allāh, nobody bothers us but ṭarīqah is very important.
Because we aren't created for this world. Because of this, we should follow holy ones, murshids, beautiful ways whereever they may be. Of course you can't do it alone. You'll do it once or twice on your own then give up. But if you are in ṭarīqah and connected to a murshid, he gives you duties. Daily and weekly. Some are once in a lifetime. You feel obliged to do them because you have a murshid. Actually in ṭarīqah there is no force because you are in ṭarīqah. It is about the heart.
Things from the heart they need a helper. Someone guiding him. Thanks to Allāh, our ṭarīqah shows the way. Naqshbandī ṭarīqah shukur to Allāh is the most beautiful ṭarīqah. Other ṭarīqahs are also holy. But you should believe and trust the ṭarīqah, that you are following. That's how you benefit. If you say "Ours is good like others" then you didn't give your heart completely. We respect other ṭarīqahs too. They are all ḥaqq, holy. But if you follow a way, you have to keep it strong. You should keep firm. You'll get the blessings.
Like we said daily duties is to do all the farḍ, that the sharī‘ah orders. Worshipping, fasting, giving zakāt, going to ḥajj, if you have money you'll give zakāt and go to ḥajj. If you don't have money, it isn't farḍ. Then there are supererogatory practices. It is needed, obligatory for the people of ṭarīqah to do supererogatory practices. It is better not to leave them. If you leave them, it isn't a sin but you'll get less rewards. Because we entered this way for Allāh we'll try to do our best so that Allāh looks at us with mercy and grace.
We ask Allāh's mercy and pleasure. We also have daily duties. Dhikr, Qur’ān, Dalā’ilu khayrāt, ṣalawāt, Lā ilāha ill Alāh, Allāh Allāh, people do these. According to their ranks. They start with less, they increase the number. Then there is seclusion for ṭarīqah people
once in a lifetime. Seclusion may Allāh be pleased Shaykh ‘Adnān is an expert on that. Mā shā’Allāh, he made more than 40 I guess it isn't an easy thing. So people of ṭarīqah should do this.
Shukur to Allāh our shaykh gave us a seclusion according to our situation. It starts in Rajab. Forty days. Starts two hours before morning prayer, until ishrāq. Maybe between maghrib and ‘ishā’ or between ‘aṣr and ‘ishā’. If you do it you are rewarded. They call these forty days; arba‘īn. They also call it seclusion. Shakyh ‘Adnān's instruction to sit somewhere for forty days, without seeing anyone, without saying anything worldly. If you think "What will we do in 40 days?" You hardly finish duties. So much Dhikr, Qur’ān you hardly finish them in one day.
But it isn't only that there are tests in seclusion. Some say lions come, some things come out for some people. But there are people, who don't see these. There are worse things bad ego, shayṭān, waswasah is much worse. If a lion or a dragon comes out, swallows you it isn't more scary than the evil ego. It is important to fight and win over them with Allāh's permission and go out victorious.
Shaykh ‘Adnān Shukur to Allāh people, who wanted to do seclusion Mawlānā used to delegate to Shaykh ‘Adnān. "He'll take care of you" he said. Mā shā’Allāh he has a lot of patience. It isn't easy, people go in and out. They think they finished. It isn't finishing, it is starting. You'll continue training your ego for your rank. Don't leave it and say "I did seclusion, it's finished". On the contrary, that seclusion's responsibility goes on all your life until death, its blessing also continues.
Because Allāh's reward is according to the difficulty. Now it is starting on the 1st of Rajab. Like we said Mawlānā gave us permission even once in your lifetime you can do partly seclusion from two hours before fajr to ishrāq. Wake up and worship with a seclusion intention. Do your dhikr, read Qur’ān. For forty days. It will be accepted with Allāh's permission. If you don't do seclusion in this world, not everyone but the people of ṭarīqah their seclusion will be in the grave. Because their ranks are high, they have duties.
If they don't do their duties they aren't in the ṭarīqah. If they don't do it in this world they make you do it in the grave, in barzakh. That is more difficult and its reward isn't like here. Mawlānā often said; "Saying Lā ilāha ill Allāh once when alive, is more rewarding than being in the grave for thousand years." So appreciate the value of your time in this world. Don't waste it. We aren't created for this world. We are created for ākhirah. We have to complete our duties here and go to ākhirah lightly. Important to be prosperous in ākhirah. May Allāh show us those days, in shā’Allāh. We are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, following ṭariqah, following way. Ṭarīqah meaning way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. And why we are following this? Many people, all especially between
Muslim people, they are looking for ṭarīqah, for ṭarīqah meaning way for Prophet and other name taṣawwuf. Taṣawwuf meaning you must be in ṭarīqah. And there is many enemies for ṭarīqah, for taṣawwuf. Even Muslim, many of them looking for ṭarīqah as who are not enemy for ṭarīqah even, like salafī or wahhābī.
They are looking for ṭarīqah as something that it is not necessary for Muslim. This is ridiculous. Because ṭarīqah is the main thing for going, way to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Our is life not for this dunyā. Our life is for ākhirah, for next life, eternal life. So ṭarīqah it is showing us this way and coming from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam as a way for heaven, for good things. Of course, many people they said "No need for this. We're praying, we're doing, practicing. So no need for ṭarīqah."
Ṭarīqah showing us, put you in discipline. And you're following your murshid. You're following order of murshid. And this order coming from first from sharī‘ah. First thing for ṭarīqah people, they must be practicing order of Allāh. First to pray farḍ and to fast Ramaḍān. After, to give charities, zakāt who have money and to go to ḥajj. Who has enough money to go ḥajj. This is first thing.
Who are saying "I am in ṭarīqah", the first order to make this order of Allāh and Prophet. After this to make nafl. The sunnah who are Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was doing. Praying all sunnah, especially for sunnah of praying five times praying. Every time we have sunnah. For fajr two raka‘āt sunnah, two raka‘āt farḍ. For ẓuhr, four sunnah before farḍ and two or four as you like after farḍ. For ‘aṣr, we have also four. For maghrib also we have two. But there is sunnah ghayri mu’akkadah also. For ‘ishā’ also we have four before, four after and witr. This is what... We must do this first who are following ṭarīqah. They said "Our madhhab not this is sunnah."
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, other madhhab also there is they're saying sunnah, they're not saying to forbid to pray sunnah. Who are in ṭarīqah, he must pray all sunnah. After this, there is nafl also. For ishrāq, for ḍuhā, for awwābīn, for tahajjud, for qiyāmu l-layl, tasbīh, najāt, shukr. All these ṭarīqah people, they are following this, doing this. If they are alone, they cannot do. And other thing, this is for every day they must do. And for ḥajj or zakāt once a year. For Ramaḍān also farḍ once a year one month Ramaḍān. But other also to fast holy days and blessed days you must who are in ṭarīqah he must do it. And for ḥajj once in life. And there are other also things.
There is for who are following ṭarīqah, there is one not for common people but for who are in ṭarīqah. He must do seclusion once a life. And this seclusion is 40 days. 40 days Mawlānā Shaykh he was giving this order to Shaykh Adnān. He is, mā shā’Allāh, expert for this. When somebody ask for seclusion, he was sending for Shaykh Adnān to look for him. Because, mā shā’Allāh, he made more than 40 times seclusion. Seclusion it is not easy. It is very difficult thing. For this, Mawlānā he was making easy for who following
ṭarīqah to make 40 days but not full-time. Full-time it is real very difficult. And they have test. It is making people some of them to lose their mind. It is not easy. So for this, he was giving two hours before fajr until sunrise. Intention for khalwah 40 days from beginning of Rajab until 10th of Sha‘bān to do this. For all murīd who can do. They can do this year, next year. But they must do it once. This is who are following ṭarīqah, following Mawlānā. He order this. It's not only his order, it is from time a
