. They are saying you cannot respect him. These newly out Wahhabis and Salafis are showing it as a sin.
Whereas Allah Azza wa Jalla will give you greatest rewards to those who honor our Holy Prophet because he is Allah’s Habib, Allah’s Beloved. Respecting the greatest and
highest of people in the Universe, our Holy Prophet, makes Allah happy and makes Allah pleased.
Our wish is for Allah to be pleased. “Ilahi, anta maqsudi wa ridaka matlubi.” Your consent is what we wish for. Therefore, make salawat and honor our Holy Prophet at every moment, every minute, and every opportunity and never refrain from it. May Allah bless (mubarak) Shaban. May we reach Ramadan and the next year as well Inshallah. Let us say, “With Mahdi Alayhis Salam next year,” and pray so.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
74.ALLAH LOVES THE COMMUNITY Friday, 28 April 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 loves the congregation. “Yadullahi ma’al jama’ah,” is a holy hadith. “Allah’s help, His hand, is with the community.” Wherever there is a good congregation they need to stick together.
Shaitan is breaking the community and unity in the Islamic world. If there is unity he says, “There is power in unity.” Allah’s command is: “Always be together,” but Shaitan and those who follow Shaitan strive to especially divide and break apart Muslims. They are nonstop busy with this task starting after our Holy Prophet and continuing to this day.
They never want unity to exist, and they always think about a new dissension (fitna), a new hypocrisy, and a new evil. They are doing their job as their job is to do evil. The infidel (kafir), as the name implies, is already unbelieving and means the person who does not believe in Allah. Do not be with the infidel. The unbeliever never wants good for you. Good only comes from believers (mumins) and Muslims.
We see now that Muslims do not understand Islam. Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “Wa’tasimu bihablillahi jami’an wala tafarraqoo.” (Sura Aali Imran:103) “Hold firmly to the way, rope of Allah all together and do not become divided,” says He. Muslims understand the exact opposite: “Do not hold together, be in piecemeal fashion!”
Alright, we understand everybody might have someone they love and might follow him, but in the end they need to follow the true path. We need to be all together when necessary. It does not befit a Muslim to follow his ego and strive to ruin all the people. A Muslim needs to be humble and needs to accept the truth. He says, “I can do better.” You could if Allah gave you the opportunity, but for now Allah gave the opportunity to someone else and we need to help him. Later if Allah also gave you the opportunity, you can serve in a better situation. However, if you sabotage this service, Islam now, you can never be of service and you would never get this opportunity later. When a person sees oneself in a convex mirror and says, “I can do it,” one is always at a loss. It would not be so important if he were alone, but this carries a burden. The Islamic world, Muslims
already have no branch to hold on to. The only thing to hold on to is Allah’s commands. The land of the Ottomans is the only place left that is on the way of the Prophet, that respects the awliya, and that respects the Ahl-e Bayt (Family of the Prophet), thank Allah. And they are trying with all they have got to ruin and destroy it.
The infidel might be doing it as it is normal for the infidel to do so. So if that kafir does not attack us, we should be skeptical: we must have become like them that they are happy with us and not attacking us. It is quite normal for them to do so but for people who claim to be Muslim to join such a dissension and to follow their evil ego is unseemly. Those people will have no good in this world and they will suffer in the hereafter.
As we said, this matter is not a game. It is not a game at all. These are fitnas of End Times. People need to be vigilant, Muslims need to be vigilant. Muslims should not be fooled like children. Everything is very clear. We are in the time our Holy Prophet described. End Times: fitna everywhere and holding on to religion is like holding coal for people. They live in difficulty as if holding cinder.
We have arrived in times just as described by our Holy Prophet. This is the time our Holy Prophet spoke about and we need to be careful. There is much we do not know, but the hadith of our Holy Prophet is clear. Be careful: do not go astray, and preserve your religion even if it burns your hand. Even if it is hard for you, still be with the Muslims and do not comply with the unbeliever and the hypocrite. Be with the community, be with the assembly, and be with assemblies who are on the right path.
Our Holy Prophet says, “Be united all together on the right path. People who have deviated from this way have deviated to hell.” Because that deviation ruins many people and makes them wretched. That person who deviated will certainly go to hell. What we need to do is stay on the path granted to us by Allah. We need to be thankful to Allah that we made huge strides. We need to appreciate this and be grateful to Allah.
You could be from another tariqa, but the person across is still a Muslim and he is still on the path of Allah. You need to respect him and show him love. You cannot view this person as an enemy. Everybody has a person they love, who has a lovable habit, and who fits in their heart. Everybody is not obligated to be in your tariqa or in your mazhab (school of thought). There are four true mazhabs and forty tariqas. He can be in any one of them. He can be in whichever one he wants as he is on Allah’s way and following a murshid (guide). We need to be thankful for this. We also need to respect that person and be together with him.
This is the way shown by our Holy Prophet. Our Holy Prophet said: “Nobody can reach true faith until he loves his believer brother the way he loves himself.” Therefore, people and especially people of tariqa need to pay attention to this. Because now they are in
tariqa but are upon an ignorant method. If you are not from their community they pretend not to hear your salam (greeting). We see people who do not even reply to the salam. This is unseemly.
A person who enters tariqa needs to train oneself, needs to train one’s ego, needs to know how to behave properly, needs to know the divine law (sharia), and needs to know Islam’s beauties. May Allah show all, those in tariqa and those not in tariqa, the right way Inshallah. May Muslims be united so nobody [from enemies] can approach. May evils stay away Inshallah. May good deeds be for us and evils be with anti-Muslim people and those who are with the infidels.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
75.MAY 1 IS SHAITAN’S DAY Monday, 1 May 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 told us about the beautiful and holy days. The Arabs had two days, meaning two holydays, at the Time of Ignorance. He said, “I will give you better days,” and gave the Feast of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) and the Feast of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha).
Now they are calling every day a holiday and a festival. Today is May 1 and it is called “Workers’ Day”. Are workers not people? They are people. Their festival is on the same day too. This has nothing to do with workers. It is an invention of Shaitan. Workers suffer pain, they get no benefit, and it becomes a disturbance to people.
Therefore, the days Allah has treated us with are more than enough. Days made up by Shaitan certainly cause and become a means for an evil. May Allah protect us. Now people’s hearts are in their mouths when you mention May Day: “I wonder what will happen today? How many people will die?” Watch all over the world: what they call a holiday is the day they get beaten and nothing else. Or it is the day they bring down windows and dive into each other. This is not reasonable at all. This is not a holiday but a straight trouble of a day.
May Allah give these people common sense and intelligence so they celebrate on the day Allah has made into a celebration. None of the other Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and what-not-day, none of them have any use whatsoever. Some ill-minded people made up things according to themselves. There is a group that takes advantage of people’s troubles and blood. It only benefits them. It has no benefit to anyone else. May Allah bless (mubarak) our holidays and may our sacred days be mubarak InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
76.MISTAKES ARE TOLD WITH ADAB Tuesday, 2 May 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
People want to do things with a thought most of the time. They might have seen a mistake on others according to themselves. They can tell the person across or write to them with adab, in the proper manner. They do it this way so they do not become offended in front of others. This is also a good manner. Telling in front of people, “You did such a thing, you are like this, and you are like that,” would be ill-mannered.
A person’s ego can show everything as good. It can show mistakes as good too. Regarding goodness, people think what they receive and what fits them is a good thing. That person might have realized a mistake and might tell you about the thing that you did not know or you thought was good. As we said, it would be nice to say it with manners. One needs to accept and fix it if the mistake is truly a mistake. The person needs to thank the other: “You saved me from a burden.” One needs to say, “I had no idea. I thought it was good when it was a bad and ugly thing. You showed this to me. You warned me. I am grateful,” and not get angry. “Allathina yastami’unal qawla fayattabiuna ahsanah.” “Those who listen to speech and follow the best of it.” (Sura Zumar:18) People listen to what is said and take what is good. It could be that the person across even tells you thinking something right is bad, not knowing your intention or your purpose. Again you need to be thankful to him for putting a brake on your ego and became a means not to trust it. In other words, people can even see the good as bad. Therefore, do not jump up and down as the ego wants. You are in front of people and everybody might not forgive you.
This is also a good thing so there is no need to defend your ego right away. You can thank your brother. You need to say, “You did not truly say enough for my ego.” This ego can come round by continuously whipping it. Do not compromise on your ego. The more you do not compromise the more you would rise. If you compromise on your ego and tag behind it, then your level would fall, your station would fall. May Allah give us strength so we may accept the truth and not follow our ego.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
77.THE FAVOURED FEW Wednesday, 3 May, 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.
We thank and praise Allāh that He put us together in this beautiful community. We thank and praise Him. It is something not meant for everyone. These people are
a minority. People on the way of truth are in the minority. "Wa qalilun minʿibad̄ shakur." (34:13) says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Who are thankful are in the minority.
iya sh-
Ḥaḍrat ‘Umar was making ṭawaf̄ one day. One man was praying to Allāh asking to make him from the minority. He was asking this from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. It seemed strange to Ḥaḍrat ‘Umar. Why did he want it? Because the minority is acceptable; it is said in Qur’ān Karim̄ "Wa qalīlun minʿibādiya sh-shakūr". Wa qalīlun (and few are) the people who make shukr to Allāh, who worship and obey the truth, they are in the minority. Therefore, there is a saying now: the favoured few. They mean the people of dunya,̄ properties, possessions, cars, money, women, someone who has everything, not an ordinary rich man, but those who are very rich, they say they are happy. All people look at them not with admiration but with envy. They say how happy these people are, they have everything. Whereas, they don't know they are not happy. They have everything but no one can say they are happy. Everyone knows that but they still call them the favoured few.
The real favoured few are the people of Alla . It is hard to do it by ourselves. People are gathering here by the will of Allāh, those who are on this right way - they are the really happy ones. They are happy in dunyā too, as they know everything has a reason and a cause. To accept the cause and comply with it is the biggest reason of happiness. You know everything comes from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. If He tests or favours you every day, you should know everything is from Allāh. You should thank Allāh. Then there can't be anyone happier than you. Because a man has no worry from dunyā then but inner peace. Otherwise, even if the whole world belongs to him, he cannot make time for himself out of greed. All his time, there were water wells in the old times. They put a donkey there and it would run around from morning till evening. It would remain in its place, not able to go anywhere. People who run after dunyāare like this. That animal is
at least of use to people. It brings up the water. It is useful for people. But people are for themselves.
Who are for Allāh, no one will envy this happy minority. No one will say "You prayed too much, you are on the right way" and envy them, shukr to Allāh. Therefore, may everyone
be able to to accept this beautiful community. Whoever asks, Alla 's door is always open. Whoever wants may enter. Alla won't block anyone. Shayṭān is the one who blocks. If someone wants to join this beautiful community, not just one but thousand shayṭāns will oppose him to stop him. Even if everyone takes from Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla's treasures, they won't become less. Moreover, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will give even more to people. This is important.
Shukr to Allāh, we met again with barakah of Mawlānā. It is through him that so many people are coming. All his life, Mawlānā worked without getting tired and without laziness in order to bring more people to this way. Shukr to Alla , much more people joined this beautiful community. In shā’Alla with his barakah more people will join. The doors are open. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, we are thanking Him for making us in this gathering. This is nice gathering. This is the most perfect and most happy because this gathering for sake of Alla .
Alla He is happy with thankful people. But they are a few people. "Wa qalīlun
minʿiba
iya sh-shakur" (34:13) Allāh He said in Qur’a
the thankful people they are very
few, very little. They are not majority. They are minority. Al-ḥamdu li-Llah̄ we are happy to be minority. Minority everywhere in this world, they are people they try to finish them. Especially in countries there is minority, they don't like them. Al-ḥamdu li-Llāh we are minority among human being.
Once Sayyidina ʿUmar ibn Al-Khattāb ’Amiru l-mu’minin̄ , second khalif̄ ah after Prophet ṣallá Llah̄ u ‘alayhi wa sallam was making ṭawāf in Ka‘bah. And one man was praying, making du‘ā "O Allah̄ , make me from these people, few people, minority people with, not with many people." And he was astonishing. Sayyidina ʿUmar ibn Al- Khattāb asking "What are you doing? What are you saying this?" He said "In Qur’ān everywhere for people who are very few people thankful, very few people accepting truth, very few people loving Allāh, loving Prophet. This in Qur’a everywhere - only few people following right way. For this, I am asking to be like them." So al-ḥamdu li- Llāh we are also minority.
Many people they are not happy. Even to see they are not happy. There is in material world, I don't know. In Turkish there is one saying: "happy minority". I don't know if in
English any term like this. This is what meaning? Meaning for the very rich people, very rich people in the countries they are very little people. So everybody looking for them. They say this is happy minority and they have everything. Elite. But there is few, not so much. The favoured few. Yes. In Turkish mutlu azınlık they say - Favoured few. So people they are looking for them and more water coming from their mouth. They like to be like them. And looking, looking like with envy. Everybody who looking for them with envy because they have car, they have women, they have land, they have factory, they have shops, they have houses, everything they have. The people they are thinking these people favoured few.
No, this is not favoured few. They are not happy even. The favoured few al-ḥamdu li- Lla we are. We are in shā’Allāh. Because people they are not thinking for this. Because we are, when some people they are real following way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and way of Awliyā’u Llāh, they are happy because they know what is reason and who make this reason. The most important for us to know there is one who is doing all this for us. We say we are accepting this. And we are saying this is not going for empty. It is everything Allah̄ reward us. And we are happy He put us in this gathering, small gathering. Because even Muslim people they are not thinking at all for Creator. No. They are Muslim. Some of them praying. Most of them not praying even. But who are following right way, they are happy. So in shā’Allāh we are... Nobody envious for them. They are ok. "You can do what you like to do", they say. "We are nothing to take from you or to be envious for you." For this, they are not making envy for these people. But they are not clever.
And Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla He is happy to be all human being like this. But human being not accepting. Allāh not prevent anybody from coming to Him. Who prevent? Shayṭan̄ . If you will go one step to good place or good people, not one shayṭān, thousand shayṭān coming prevent you to go to there, to meet the right way or to be with good people. So we are also like, like Mawlanā Shaykh he was whole life trying to bring people to this happy way who very few people. But al-ḥamdu li-Llāh he bring thousand, hundred thousand people. And he was still at the end in this way. In shā’Allāh with his barakah this way also bring many people to this happy gathering, real happiness.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
78.STRONG BELIEF Thursday, 4 March, 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said the victory for who is with Allāh. Maybe sometimes getting difficult, but the end, who is with Allāh ! he will succeed and he will win. To be strong, you must obey Allāh's ! order. He ! give you spiritual power. It is more powerful from weapons, from missiles, from guns, from cannons. But shayṭān and his followers they are making our belief, īmān, to be weak. They are using every kind of trick and every dirty play to make us away from Allāh !. In these countries, of course, it is more dangerous. But even in Muslim country also they have nearly like here. Everything for ego, for bad desire they can do. Because shayṭān, he knows with belief, who are following Allāh ! order and they are believers, they have power. He cannot win on them. All time they are winning, they are beating him.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla create us for what? Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said "wa-mā khalaqtu l-jinna wa l-insa illā liya‘budūn" (51:56) For worshipping. And Prophet " he said if you really believe and worshipping, Allāh ! He will give you your rizq, your food without doing anything. He make example for like birds. They are morning waking and flying to place, nighttime coming with their stomach full of food. Maybe people they cannot believe this. But even Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He give for Mūsā and his nation, when they are running away from Pharaoh to Sinai, every day they were giving them food, heavenly food. It is example for human being. Allāh ! He can give. But this belief you cannot find. What Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam even for ṣaḥābah, they don't have. They of course, many of them they have. But also they go working, not to be lazy.
But Prophet " he said giving good tiding, he teach us your belief's not so strong. If your belief strong, you have everything. We are trying to get belief, īmān. Some of īmān, from Prophet " īmān to save these people. They are maybe we said 1-2, maybe 5%. But at least, 50-60% they are following or more following shayṭān. And they are losing their belief. We must teach children, our children to be good believer. How to teach them? To take them in front of you and tell them. Of course, you can do this all. But if you are not practicing, not showing them what is belief, they will not follow. You must first correct yourself. For yourself, you must be tough. Don't give any chance for say today you can do this, tomorrow we will not do it. Don't say this. From today we will finish this bad habit and make it to be clean.
If you have the belief, you'll be like Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. He was in middle
of fire and fire becoming paradise for him. We can say everywhere in this world, if you have this belief, nothing affect you. Because our people who Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He sent them to these countries, first they come to get money work, to go back for their family. But they're stuck. They're stuck here and they bring their family or they are married from here. They have house. It is like home country for them now. So the important thing to not forget their belief. Money, food, as we said from beginning of ṣuḥbah, Allāh ! give this. Keep your belief strong. That time you are not afraid from anything. The most important thing - if you have it, you're safe.
Because shayṭān knows these people. "Here more easy for me to finish them here" he said. Because, of course, we are not criticize this country's system. Because this is land of non-believers, kufr. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying "Laysa ba‘da lkufri dhanb". What this meaning? After who they are non-believers, no bigger sin than this. They can be communist, they can be atheist, they can be fascist, they can be everything - it is not important. We are not trying to fix the system in this country. What we try to keep believers solid like iron ball, not crushing. Not like rice or wheat, they can crush and finish. Must be like iron, strong belief. If you have this, this is no problem. But if you don't have, this is problem.
So, in shā’Allāh, we must be together. Don't be alone. Bring your children, bring for mosque, for dargāh, for everywhere. Bring children and tell these some retired men sitting in mosque, they are getting angry for small children. If they're coming and making noise, they are shouting on them. And these children they're running away, not coming to mosque anymore. We must have wisdom. Not for your... Even when you are in mosque, you can make harm for people. You send one boy, young boy or child, and his whole life he will not come back to mosque or he will hate mosque. So we must have wisdom. We must be happy with these who are coming from children, young boys, young girls who coming to mosque or to dargāh. We must be happy with them. We must help for them, to help them from everything, to teach them, to listen for them, to help them.
In shā’Allāh we hope with your good intention to save these. Because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He look for heart and for intention, and He ! give with your intention. Of course, we are hoping. Allāh ! knows when Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes. But he's near, look like very near. But also Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying you do, don't wait. Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām he will come. Until that time we will not do anything? No, you must make your best to help and to save people. In shā’Allāh we hope. He is savior. He will save small and big, all human being. Because they finish everything in this world. Everything they try, nothing helps. Going from day to another day from worse to worse. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we have good tiding. Prophet " saying Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām he will come and he will save all believers. Human being, they will be saved when he comes.
And these days Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he " mentioned exactly what happen nowadays. And he " said after this Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes.
For this, don't be hopeless. "Lā taqnaṭū min raḥmati Llāh" (39:53) Don't be hopeless from mercy of Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said "Alaysa ṣ-ṣubḥu biqarīb" (11:81) Āyah meaning the morning light, it is not far. So don't be sad. Be happy. What will happen now, it is Prophet " prophecy. And it happen. And we must be more strong believer. Prophet " make his prophecy. And this prophecy one by one since 1,440 years nearly coming one after one, one after one. Until Qiyāmah what he " said, it will be. And now time of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām and Antichrist and ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām also. And we are believing for him. Who believe to be with him, in shā’a Llāh, he will reach him and to meet him, in shā’a Llāh. Even there is Muslim scholar, they are saying this is not true. This coming also from shayṭān, make them to lose their way. Because there is ḥadīth Prophet " saying about Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām, about ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām. And it will happen. In shā’Allāh, we meet him soon and reach these good nice days after all this darkness, all this bad thing. Everything is spoilt in this world. When he come, everything it will be perfect.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
79.ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO FORGIVE Thursady, 4 May, 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wal-kāẓimīna l-ghayẓa wal-ʿāfīna ʿani n-nāsi wa Llāhu yuḥibbu l- muḥsinīn." (3:134) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created mankind. He created them beautiful. And for their behaviour, He sent the prophets to people to clean their wild character, to make them good people. A good person is a person who believes in Allāh. A person who follows Allāh and the Prophet is the good one. He is the one who keeps Allāh's orders and prohibitions. And these orders are to get along well with people, to treat people well. The true Muslim people love for the sake of Allāh and dislike for the sake of Allāh. Of course, you should treat every one well. Everybody is the servant of Allāh. However, a person who says "I don't love Allāh", a person who denies Allāh - of course we mustn't beat and swear at them - but we should dislike them. At least, we shouldn't love them. You should say "Allāh created them like this, may Allāh protect us". You should say "Shukr to Allāh He didn't create us like them". But Muslims and those who are on the path of Allāh, you should treat them well.
As all Muslims believe in Allāh and are on the right path, they should be treated well. But those who enter Islām and mislead people from their way, they can't be given love. As they are not on this way, we should pray to Allah that they are guided and come to the right way. But between Muslims, there should be love and respect. As long as a man is on the way of Allāh and the Prophet, people can make mistakes. There is an ego. Sometimes the ego wins. Mistakes are made. We should not turn those mistakes into a grudge. Grudgebearing is not good. It doesn't suit Muslims. The one on the way of our Prophet cannot hold grudges. A grudge is not a dislike. A grudge is different. To dislike means to not show admiration for what they do. To have a grudge is to have some enmity against them, it is a shayṭānic thing. If someone lets it inside, it won't go away. Therefore, when people, to be more accurate, people on the right way see a mistake or something not nice, they should love for Allāh and dislike for Allāh. If they come to the right way, that dislike goes away. No aversion remains. It turns into love. But the grudge doesn't leave. Even if a the other person is Awliyā’, that grudge remains inside him. Therefore, we should be careful about it. People who are on the way of our Prophet never keep a grudge, not dislike.
There are many groups in the Islamic world. And there is a middle group which goes on the way of our Prophet. And there are two more groups, both are built on grudge- bearing. They are harming Muslims. Nothing can harm Islām. One group is those who don't love Ahlu l-Bayt of our Prophet. They have a grudge against them. They have grudge. They have grudge saying "Why are those descending from the Prophet so valuable while our (descendants) are not?" And also they have a grudge against the ṣaḥābah. And that is an invention of shayṭān. Our Prophet had the closest people, they call them "cihari güzin", Ḥaḍrat Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān,‘Alī. They don't accept the three. They begrudge them. Those people should correct themselves in order for their ends to be good, to be true Muslims. Otherwise, those two groups, they are out of their way and they are harming Muslims. They are without mercy.
Allāh doesn't love those people. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying "Wa l-kāẓimīna l-ghayẓa". Who suppress their anger, who forgive other people, Allāh loves those who are kind. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla loves such people. So He doesn't love the rest. Of course, as we said, small things happen between Muslims and people of ṭarīqah because of the ego. That is nothing. Allāh is forgiving. And Muslims forgive each other. That passes over, not so important. But as we said, we shouldn't hold grudges. We should educate our ego. Not like other groups - right since breastfeeding, they inject this grudge into them. Then they come out claiming they are Muslim. It can't be like this. You can see it as it is. The condition of the Islamic world is clear. Because of these two groups, blood is all around. Muslim is killing another Muslim. He's killing everyone he sees. It's wrong. Allāh won't forgive them. They will pay for this. And they will regret it. May Allāh make us from the forgiving ones. May we not have even an atom of grudge in our hearts, in shā’a Llāh. May we love only for the sake of Allāh. And those who are not on the way of Allāh are not so because they are not following it, but because everything is in the hands of Allāh. We dislike those attributes.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He creates human being and he is like animal. But from His generosity He sends for human being prophets to make this wild creature, to make them following to be good creature, to be human being. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said "wa lkāẓimīna l-ghayẓ wa l-‘āfīna ‘ani n-nās wa Llāhu yuḥibbu l-muḥsinīn" (3:134) Allāh He like, love the people who are kept their anger to not be angry; when they become angry to hold themself and to be forgiveness, to be forgiveness for people. And Allāh He is loving generous people also. Allāh love this people. And we must be following this order. This order very important to make the human being happy, to not be wild. Everyone they have fault, they have mistake. We are looking because we also have. We say to be forgive for them. And we are loving for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And we must hate for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla also.
Of course we are loving people who are following order of Allāh and follow Prophet. And we are happy with them. Because they are, what Allāh they love them, we love
them. But if some people not accepting order of Allāh, even they are not accepting Allāh we are not obligatory, obliged to love them. We are not love them. We are because Allāh He said don't love them, we don't love them. But we not do anything for them, only we make pray for them may Allāh changes them to be good people.
And for people who are following order of Allāh we love them. But in this who are following religion there is people also out of order of Allāh. With this people also we also not love them - not for ourself, for order of Allāh. Don't love this people, we are not loving this people. But we are not put a hatred, no hatred in... grudge, grudge very bad thing. Not love thing but, grudge it is very bad thing. Grudge in Muslim heart you cannot find this. But in non-believer, kāfir they have this. And they have other kind also. The people who are out of right way in Islām they have grudge also. But we are only, we not love when people they are not following Allāh order. We don't have not put grudge because if you put this in your heart you cannot take it out. It is very bad seed.
And Islamic world there is many kind of people and there now there is three major group in Islamic world. One the middle "Ummatan wasaṭan" (2:143) Prophet saying they are following Prophet. They like what he like. They not like what he don't like. And there is two group they are following what they are happy to follow and not following what they are not happy with it. This two group they put grudge in their hearts since childhood. Even they are baby they put this grudge against one group, against Ahla l-Bayt, The holy family of Prophet. They have this grudge because they are coming from same place, so they have why his and this man we are more powerful one, we must be on him, on his family. They have this grudge and they are when they find any chance they like to finish them. This is what they learn. Other also group even this they are worse because they are, whole their culture build on grudge. Especially against Prophet's companion. They say against, first group against Prophet Ahla l-Bayt but they are really against Prophet also. Anything you tell them about Prophet they become crazy.
Other group also they said we like Ahla l-Bayt but we don't like companion of Prophet and Prophet cannot be different from his companion. So they are also, they have a grudge for Prophet. This two group they are destroying Muslim world these days. They don't have any mercy. They don't have any forgiveness. We don't like to be like this people. We are not agree. Muslim, real Muslim, who following Prophet, accepting Ahla l-Bayt. They are our masters, they are our beloved people and we are accept companion of Prophet beginning from Sayyidīna Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān other also - all they are like bone and meat, you cannot make any difference. But when they saying something they are really against Prophet. They try to hide but al-ḥamdu liLlāh this is end of time, they open, everybody can see this. We not accept this, for this we are our teaching - we don't have any grudge in our heart. What people they can do, we are forgive them. Even when they ask forgiveness, when they are asking, coming to way of Prophet, our hate coming to be love for this people.
So we are, our teaching this is, this is teaching of Prophet. For the whole time he was asking forgiveness for his nation. Saying ummati, ummati, my nation, my nation. This even Day of Resurrection he is asking forgiveness for his ummah. So we are anything between us but what happen, it is we can forgive for everything. So this is we must learn. Don't learn any hatred any bad thing. Allāh reward us for this. He said, I love this people: "wa lkāẓimīna l-ghayẓ wa l-‘āfīna ‘ani n-nās wa Llāhu yuḥibbu l-muḥsinīn" (3:134) Allāh make us from His lovers. This is the biggest thing can human being have it. Nothing more than this. People, many people they are wondering why I'm in this life. In this life for to have this love of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, this is the main reason. Remember this in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
80.ASK ON LAYLATUL-BARA’AT Friday, 5 May 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.
May this Jum‘ah be blessed. It is Jum‘ah of Sha‘bān, the holy month. In shaAllāh next week we will reach the day and night of the 15th of Sha‘bān, in shaAllāh. It is revealed from our Prophet that the 15th of Sha‘bān is holy and it is revealed in Qur’ān by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He says that on that night it is written what everyone will do, where they'll come and go for the upcoming year. That night is a holy night. Our Prophet used to pray till the morning on those nights, especially on the 15th night. Ḥaḍrati ‘Ā’ishah said she heard prayers she never heard before until the morning. And Ḥadrati ‘Ā’ishah asked our Prophet, "Why do you pray so much on this night?" "This night is the night when everything for the coming year is written. I want to worship and stay awake praying during this night", said our Prophet.
We can't interfere with Allāh. How does this happen? Does it change or not what Allāh has written? He orders us to pray. The book in which there is everything written for everyone is in the presence of Allāh. Even if He writes whatever He wishes, "Yamḥū l- lahu mā yashāu wa yuth'bit." (13:39) Even if anything He wants is written, He can erase and rewrite it. Or He will make do with what is written. And the minds of people are capable up to a limit. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla - the whole universe, everything we see in it, is smaller than an atom of His knowledge. All kinds of knowledges are nothing next to the greatness of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla with all His greatness is granting us these nights. "You pray. I will give you what you are asking for. I will forgive you. I will raise you up. I will increase your rizq (provision). I will cure you". Everything is in the hands of Allāh. He orders to pray till the morning. "I will accept it. I will accept everyone's prayers and forgive everyone who is not making shirk, not drinking alcohol, not doing adultery." And if they repent for their sins, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will forgive them. But if they object, they are preparing their own punishment. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla Arḥamu r-Rāḥimīn - His mercy is endless. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has mercy oceans. Whatever you do, Allāh still forgives. But if you insist on disobeying Him, you will have made your own punishment. Therefore, we should be careful. We have to think why we came to this world. Did we come for dunyā? If we came for dunyā, this suffering wouldn't be necessary. Just like
Allāh created animals, we'd live and go like them. So He created us for something. He favoured us. He sent us the prophets so that they could show us the right way by reason. Don't leave the right way. When you are on the right way, some shayṭāns may bother you. You think you're on the right way, and even when you're on the right way, he (shaytṭān) can push you to evil. Therefore, we should be careful.
On this night, we should beg Allāh with sincerity, as we are weak servants, to not leave us to our egos. Don't let us act as we like. May we be on this way only for Your pleasure - we should beg for this. And the Islamic world is in a bad condition. A Muslim is a brother to other Muslims, says our Prophet. Muslims are like one body. If any part of the body has pain, not only does that part hurt, but whole body will feel it. Even if a finger nail is hurt, the whole body will feel that pain. And we as Muslims should pray for Muslims in this world, for this oppression to end because we can't do anything else. But praying to Allāh is our biggest weapon.
May Allāh punish those who are oppressing these people. May He trouble them so that they are busy with their own troubles and leave Muslims alone. May we pray that He sends us Imam Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. This is the biggest prayer we should make on the 15th night of Sha‘bān. The one who will show us the way of Allāh, the one who will raise Islām is Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. May we reach him. We pray that he comes as soon as possible. Then you can pray and ask whatever you want. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla loves the persistent ones, when you ask for one thing for a hundred times. If you tell someone something several times, he'll say "Enough. You are too annoying". But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla always wants His servant to be with Him, to beg Him. If one asks for a hundred or a thousand times, Allāh loves such a person. Therefore, its wisdom is to not go and beg other people. Beg Allāh. Allāh will certainly give.
But people have no patience. People are without patience. If He doesn't give now, He'll give later. If He doesn't give later, He'll give even later. But He will certainly give. Then a person will realize it happened but he'll have had discomfort from lack of patience. Therefore, these nights are holy nights. They are a gift from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. We should respect them. We read Yāsīn 3 times between maghrib and ʿishāʾ. A Yāsīn will be read for health, rizq and long life. Then we will pray 100 rakaʿāt prayers. It is sunnah nafl. If you do it and make duʿāʾ, Allāh will grant you 70 wishes, says our Prophet. The least is the forgiveness of sins. Forgiving sins is not easy. People, all of us have sins. We don't feel the heaviness of sins. But when it's released, a man feels better and lighter. Even if he doesn't feel it, when sins are forgiven, he worships better and he lives better.
May Allāh bless these nights. May we spend them next year with Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām in shaAllāh. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are in Sha‘bān-i mu‘aẓẓam. The month of Prophet, month of light of Prophet, month of Laylatu l-Barā’at. This is night of what will be for next year for everybody - not only whole together, everybody. Allāh make program for
everybody from 15th Sha‘bān to next 15th Sha‘bān. In this they write, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla write what will happen - you be married, you be travel, you be go to ‘Umrah to Ḥajj. Who will be pregnant, who will be given birth. Who will die, who will maybe something happen for him. All this from 15th Sha‘bān to another 15th Sha‘bān Allāh write in the Ummu l-Kitāb, the mother of the book, that book for what write for human being. This is Allāh greatness. Allāhu Akbaru l-Akbar.
The greatest greatest Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. His knowledge it is what whole this universe they have from knowledge, from think people, they are even for this not maybe one atom they are not finding even with this Allāh knowledge you cannot compare at all. Whole this universe not even like one dust. And He is with His Mightiness saying, looking for the believer people and told them to ask what they want to ask. He said The writing, what I write it must be done, but also He said everything in His hand and He can change "Yamḥū llahu mā yashāu wa yuth'bit." (13:39) He can cancel and can make the new one. For this, for giving this idea for believer and saying be careful, ask what you want from me this night. It is written there is, but I can cancel and write a new thing.
When people they ask, "How they can?" People now they are many people trying to make themself are they're more clever for other people, said "No, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He write everything and when I go to wrong way, doing wrong thing is also was writing." This is bad adab, bad behaviour. It is even for if you say this for normal man you not respect him. How you can, how dare you are saying this for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, for His whole this Greatness, His Mightiness? And you say making wrong thing and after you say this is Allāh will. This is very bad for people, this is shayṭān idea. Many group they coming between Muslim also and saying this, making people to lose their belief. No. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He make this good occasion for us to get more blessed, to get more mercy from Him.
"Ask" He said. Don't worry. Maybe somebody when somebody coming to one asking something many times, it is saying "Oh you are too much for me. Why you all time saying something the same coming and you catching me and saying and repeating and repeating?" Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla opposite. This He is liking to be ask Him, maybe 100 times, 1000 times. He is more happy when you ask. Don't make, say I'm not asking, not make Allāh angry for me. No. You can ask. He is happy because every time you ask you remember Him. You believe on His High Greatness and Generosity of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. So we are, in shaAllāh, this night it will be for to asking, you must ask not only for yourself, for your friend, for your family, for your country. And Muslim he is ... Prophet saying Muslim like one body. If anybody can have any problem like in body, if you have one nail in your feet, your whole, you are feeling this. But if for Muslim also - You are here happy and other people they are suffering and you cannot do anything. We only our weapon to pray, to make du‘ā’ to Allāh take this oppression, take this war, take this miseries from this people, our brothers, Muslim brothers. Because whole shayṭān and
follower they are follow trying to destroy Muslim. So don't say this is they are far away from us. No. We are feeling sad, feeling sorry for them and we asking Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to help them, to make them win on this oppressor people.
And we especially praying for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām to come and to make justice. Now no justice at all. Before they was saying, third world no justice but now we seeing first world they more oppression people. Whole world now, no place there is justice. No at all justice in this world. Only now Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām when he come he will fill with justice. Because before sometime some country they have justice, some country they don't have. But Prophet he said, when he come he will fill whole world with justice as it was filled with, full with injustice. So now time of no any place in this world they have justice. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we have reached to this time so it must be Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām, time to Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām to come and to fill with justice, in shaAllāh. We are praying for this and you know every Sha‘bān we do this, in 15th of Sha‘bān.
After maghrib, between maghrib, ‘ishā’ we read Yāsin sharīf three times. And after ‘ishā’ until morning you can pray hundred rak‘at nāfilat for 15 of Sha‘bān. And Prophet saying, who pray this Allāh give him seventy thing what he want he ask for this. The lowest one Allāh forgive your sins, all your sins. People now, all we have sins but we are not feeling. But it is heaviness, really heaviness for people they are not feeling heaviness but when Allāh forgive and no more sins, it become more happiness for people, more light and more barakah. So it is real blessed night. We must be happy, thankful for Allāh, He give us this holy night as gift. For who want, who want this he can take, He not prevent anybody. He asking "wa-Llāhu yad‘ū ilá dāri s-salām" (10:25).
Allāh ask for people, invite people to come but people not coming. They are only harming themself. Allāh saying, don't do this and when you do so it is your fault. If you asking forgiveness and barakah, blessed, from Allāh, He will give you. But when you are not listening what you done - not Allāh, make this oppression, you make this oppression for yourself. Allāh He is merciful. His mercy oceans endless. "wa mā rabbuka biẓallāmin lil‘abīd" (41:46) He said "I am not oppression." It is not from His attributes. Everything you done, you done for yourself. So we must, in shaAllāh, appreciate this night. And make du‘ā’, especially for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām to come. This is most important. Mawlānā's will also he said every time: "ask for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām every time." In shaAllāh we ask for him. In shaAllāh for next year we hope to be with him, in shaAllāh.

81.KNOW YOUR SELF Saturday, 6 May, 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 is saying "Man ‘ārifa nafsahu faqad ‘arifa rabbahu." Mankind should know themselves. When you know yourself, you know Allāh, you know the Creator. In order for a man to know why he was created, he should know himself. Not according to his mind, but only according to the teaching of Allāh will someone know himself. Allāh is telling us how we are and shayṭān is telling other things to others.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying "We created you from clay. Then you became bones and flesh. And We gave you soul". A soul is the order of Allāh. No one carries that secret but Allāh. Even our Prophet is saying "It is known to Allāh, I don't know it". Our Prophet - the one who knows his self the best is our Prophet. He is giving us good examples. All knowledge of this world has been given to our Prophet, from beginning to the end. They call these sciences different names. And all of them were revealed by Allāh to our Prophet. He knows them all. And because he knows them, he is telling us about Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He is teaching us about Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
In order for us to know our limits, our Prophet is telling us the thing he doesn't know. Because as everything has been created, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla put a limit. And there is nothing like limit for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. You can't say He's unlimited either. You can't say He's limitless because it puts somethin

. They are saying you cannot respect him. These newly out Wahhabis and Salafis are showing it as a sin.
Whereas Allah Azza wa Jalla will give you greatest rewards to those who honor our Holy Prophet because he is Allah’s Habib, Allah’s Beloved. Respecting the greatest and
highest of people in the Universe, our Holy Prophet, makes Allah happy and makes Allah pleased.
Our wish is for Allah to be pleased. “Ilahi, anta maqsudi wa ridaka matlubi.” Your consent is what we wish for. Therefore, make salawat and honor our Holy Prophet at every moment, every minute, and every opportunity and never refrain from it. May Allah bless (mubarak) Shaban. May we reach Ramadan and the next year as well Inshallah. Let us say, “With Mahdi Alayhis Salam next year,” and pray so.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
74.ALLAH LOVES THE COMMUNITY Friday, 28 April 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 loves the congregation. “Yadullahi ma’al jama’ah,” is a holy hadith. “Allah’s help, His hand, is with the community.” Wherever there is a good congregation they need to stick together.
Shaitan is breaking the community and unity in the Islamic world. If there is unity he says, “There is power in unity.” Allah’s command is: “Always be together,” but Shaitan and those who follow Shaitan strive to especially divide and break apart Muslims. They are nonstop busy with this task starting after our Holy Prophet and continuing to this day.
They never want unity to exist, and they always think about a new dissension (fitna), a new hypocrisy, and a new evil. They are doing their job as their job is to do evil. The infidel (kafir), as the name implies, is already unbelieving and means the person who does not believe in Allah. Do not be with the infidel. The unbeliever never wants good for you. Good only comes from believers (mumins) and Muslims.
We see now that Muslims do not understand Islam. Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “Wa’tasimu bihablillahi jami’an wala tafarraqoo.” (Sura Aali Imran:103) “Hold firmly to the way, rope of Allah all together and do not become divided,” says He. Muslims understand the exact opposite: “Do not hold together, be in piecemeal fashion!”
Alright, we understand everybody might have someone they love and might follow him, but in the end they need to follow the true path. We need to be all together when necessary. It does not befit a Muslim to follow his ego and strive to ruin all the people. A Muslim needs to be humble and needs to accept the truth. He says, “I can do better.” You could if Allah gave you the opportunity, but for now Allah gave the opportunity to someone else and we need to help him. Later if Allah also gave you the opportunity, you can serve in a better situation. However, if you sabotage this service, Islam now, you can never be of service and you would never get this opportunity later. When a person sees oneself in a convex mirror and says, “I can do it,” one is always at a loss. It would not be so important if he were alone, but this carries a burden. The Islamic world, Muslims
already have no branch to hold on to. The only thing to hold on to is Allah’s commands. The land of the Ottomans is the only place left that is on the way of the Prophet, that respects the awliya, and that respects the Ahl-e Bayt (Family of the Prophet), thank Allah. And they are trying with all they have got to ruin and destroy it.
The infidel might be doing it as it is normal for the infidel to do so. So if that kafir does not attack us, we should be skeptical: we must have become like them that they are happy with us and not attacking us. It is quite normal for them to do so but for people who claim to be Muslim to join such a dissension and to follow their evil ego is unseemly. Those people will have no good in this world and they will suffer in the hereafter.
As we said, this matter is not a game. It is not a game at all. These are fitnas of End Times. People need to be vigilant, Muslims need to be vigilant. Muslims should not be fooled like children. Everything is very clear. We are in the time our Holy Prophet described. End Times: fitna everywhere and holding on to religion is like holding coal for people. They live in difficulty as if holding cinder.
We have arrived in times just as described by our Holy Prophet. This is the time our Holy Prophet spoke about and we need to be careful. There is much we do not know, but the hadith of our Holy Prophet is clear. Be careful: do not go astray, and preserve your religion even if it burns your hand. Even if it is hard for you, still be with the Muslims and do not comply with the unbeliever and the hypocrite. Be with the community, be with the assembly, and be with assemblies who are on the right path.
Our Holy Prophet says, “Be united all together on the right path. People who have deviated from this way have deviated to hell.” Because that deviation ruins many people and makes them wretched. That person who deviated will certainly go to hell. What we need to do is stay on the path granted to us by Allah. We need to be thankful to Allah that we made huge strides. We need to appreciate this and be grateful to Allah.
You could be from another tariqa, but the person across is still a Muslim and he is still on the path of Allah. You need to respect him and show him love. You cannot view this person as an enemy. Everybody has a person they love, who has a lovable habit, and who fits in their heart. Everybody is not obligated to be in your tariqa or in your mazhab (school of thought). There are four true mazhabs and forty tariqas. He can be in any one of them. He can be in whichever one he wants as he is on Allah’s way and following a murshid (guide). We need to be thankful for this. We also need to respect that person and be together with him.
This is the way shown by our Holy Prophet. Our Holy Prophet said: “Nobody can reach true faith until he loves his believer brother the way he loves himself.” Therefore, people and especially people of tariqa need to pay attention to this. Because now they are in
tariqa but are upon an ignorant method. If you are not from their community they pretend not to hear your salam (greeting). We see people who do not even reply to the salam. This is unseemly.
A person who enters tariqa needs to train oneself, needs to train one’s ego, needs to know how to behave properly, needs to know the divine law (sharia), and needs to know Islam’s beauties. May Allah show all, those in tariqa and those not in tariqa, the right way Inshallah. May Muslims be united so nobody [from enemies] can approach. May evils stay away Inshallah. May good deeds be for us and evils be with anti-Muslim people and those who are with the infidels.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
75.MAY 1 IS SHAITAN’S DAY Monday, 1 May 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 told us about the beautiful and holy days. The Arabs had two days, meaning two holydays, at the Time of Ignorance. He said, “I will give you better days,” and gave the Feast of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) and the Feast of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha).
Now they are calling every day a holiday and a festival. Today is May 1 and it is called “Workers’ Day”. Are workers not people? They are people. Their festival is on the same day too. This has nothing to do with workers. It is an invention of Shaitan. Workers suffer pain, they get no benefit, and it becomes a disturbance to people.
Therefore, the days Allah has treated us with are more than enough. Days made up by Shaitan certainly cause and become a means for an evil. May Allah protect us. Now people’s hearts are in their mouths when you mention May Day: “I wonder what will happen today? How many people will die?” Watch all over the world: what they call a holiday is the day they get beaten and nothing else. Or it is the day they bring down windows and dive into each other. This is not reasonable at all. This is not a holiday but a straight trouble of a day.
May Allah give these people common sense and intelligence so they celebrate on the day Allah has made into a celebration. None of the other Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and what-not-day, none of them have any use whatsoever. Some ill-minded people made up things according to themselves. There is a group that takes advantage of people’s troubles and blood. It only benefits them. It has no benefit to anyone else. May Allah bless (mubarak) our holidays and may our sacred days be mubarak InshaAllah.

76.MISTAKES ARE TOLD WITH ADAB Tuesday, 2 May 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
People want to do things with a thought most of the time. They might have seen a mistake on others according to themselves. They can tell the person across or write to them with adab, in the proper manner. They do it this way so they do not become offended in front of others. This is also a good manner. Telling in front of people, “You did such a thing, you are like this, and you are like that,” would be ill-mannered.
A person’s ego can show everything as good. It can show mistakes as good too. Regarding goodness, people think what they receive and what fits them is a good thing. That person might have realized a mistake and might tell you about the thing that you did not know or you thought was good. As we said, it would be nice to say it with manners. One needs to accept and fix it if the mistake is truly a mistake. The person needs to thank the other: “You saved me from a burden.” One needs to say, “I had no idea. I thought it was good when it was a bad and ugly thing. You showed this to me. You warned me. I am grateful,” and not get angry. “Allathina yastami’unal qawla fayattabiuna ahsanah.” “Those who listen to speech and follow the best of it.” (Sura Zumar:18) People listen to what is said and take what is good. It could be that the person across even tells you thinking something right is bad, not knowing your intention or your purpose. Again you need to be thankful to him for putting a brake on your ego and became a means not to trust it. In other words, people can even see the good as bad. Therefore, do not jump up and down as the ego wants. You are in front of people and everybody might not forgive you.
This is also a good thing so there is no need to defend your ego right away. You can thank your brother. You need to say, “You did not truly say enough for my ego.” This ego can come round by continuously whipping it. Do not compromise on your ego. The more you do not compromise the more you would rise. If you compromise on your ego and tag behind it, then your level would fall, your station would fall. May Allah give us strength so we may accept the truth and not follow our ego.

77.THE FAVOURED FEW Wednesday, 3 May, 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.
We thank and praise Allāh that He put us together in this beautiful community. We thank and praise Him. It is something not meant for everyone. These people are
a minority. People on the way of truth are in the minority. "Wa qalilun minʿibad̄ shakur." (34:13) says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Who are thankful are in the minority.
iya sh-
Ḥaḍrat ‘Umar was making ṭawaf̄ one day. One man was praying to Allāh asking to make him from the minority. He was asking this from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. It seemed strange to Ḥaḍrat ‘Umar. Why did he want it? Because the minority is acceptable; it is said in Qur’ān Karim̄ "Wa qalīlun minʿibādiya sh-shakūr". Wa qalīlun (and few are) the people who make shukr to Allāh, who worship and obey the truth, they are in the minority. Therefore, there is a saying now: the favoured few. They mean the people of dunya,̄ properties, possessions, cars, money, women, someone who has everything, not an ordinary rich man, but those who are very rich, they say they are happy. All people look at them not with admiration but with envy. They say how happy these people are, they have everything. Whereas, they don't know they are not happy. They have everything but no one can say they are happy. Everyone knows that but they still call them the favoured few.
The real favoured few are the people of Alla . It is hard to do it by ourselves. People are gathering here by the will of Allāh, those who are on this right way - they are the really happy ones. They are happy in dunyā too, as they know everything has a reason and a cause. To accept the cause and comply with it is the biggest reason of happiness. You know everything comes from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. If He tests or favours you every day, you should know everything is from Allāh. You should thank Allāh. Then there can't be anyone happier than you. Because a man has no worry from dunyā then but inner peace. Otherwise, even if the whole world belongs to him, he cannot make time for himself out of greed. All his time, there were water wells in the old times. They put a donkey there and it would run around from morning till evening. It would remain in its place, not able to go anywhere. People who run after dunyāare like this. That animal is
at least of use to people. It brings up the water. It is useful for people. But people are for themselves.
Who are for Allāh, no one will envy this happy minority. No one will say "You prayed too much, you are on the right way" and envy them, shukr to Allāh. Therefore, may everyone
be able to to accept this beautiful community. Whoever asks, Alla 's door is always open. Whoever wants may enter. Alla won't block anyone. Shayṭān is the one who blocks. If someone wants to join this beautiful community, not just one but thousand shayṭāns will oppose him to stop him. Even if everyone takes from Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla's treasures, they won't become less. Moreover, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will give even more to people. This is important.
Shukr to Allāh, we met again with barakah of Mawlānā. It is through him that so many people are coming. All his life, Mawlānā worked without getting tired and without laziness in order to bring more people to this way. Shukr to Alla , much more people joined this beautiful community. In shā’Alla with his barakah more people will join. The doors are open. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, we are thanking Him for making us in this gathering. This is nice gathering. This is the most perfect and most happy because this gathering for sake of Alla .
Alla He is happy with thankful people. But they are a few people. "Wa qalīlun
minʿiba
iya sh-shakur" (34:13) Allāh He said in Qur’a
the thankful people they are very
few, very little. They are not majority. They are minority. Al-ḥamdu li-Llah̄ we are happy to be minority. Minority everywhere in this world, they are people they try to finish them. Especially in countries there is minority, they don't like them. Al-ḥamdu li-Llāh we are minority among human being.
Once Sayyidina ʿUmar ibn Al-Khattāb ’Amiru l-mu’minin̄ , second khalif̄ ah after Prophet ṣallá Llah̄ u ‘alayhi wa sallam was making ṭawāf in Ka‘bah. And one man was praying, making du‘ā "O Allah̄ , make me from these people, few people, minority people with, not with many people." And he was astonishing. Sayyidina ʿUmar ibn Al- Khattāb asking "What are you doing? What are you saying this?" He said "In Qur’ān everywhere for people who are very few people thankful, very few people accepting truth, very few people loving Allāh, loving Prophet. This in Qur’a everywhere - only few people following right way. For this, I am asking to be like them." So al-ḥamdu li- Llāh we are also minority.
Many people they are not happy. Even to see they are not happy. There is in material world, I don't know. In Turkish there is one saying: "happy minority". I don't know if in
English any term like this. This is what meaning? Meaning for the very rich people, very rich people in the countries they are very little people. So everybody looking for them. They say this is happy minority and they have everything. Elite. But there is few, not so much. The favoured few. Yes. In Turkish mutlu azınlık they say - Favoured few. So people they are looking for them and more water coming from their mouth. They like to be like them. And looking, looking like with envy. Everybody who looking for them with envy because they have car, they have women, they have land, they have factory, they have shops, they have houses, everything they have. The people they are thinking these people favoured few.
No, this is not favoured few. They are not happy even. The favoured few al-ḥamdu li- Lla we are. We are in shā’Allāh. Because people they are not thinking for this. Because we are, when some people they are real following way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and way of Awliyā’u Llāh, they are happy because they know what is reason and who make this reason. The most important for us to know there is one who is doing all this for us. We say we are accepting this. And we are saying this is not going for empty. It is everything Allah̄ reward us. And we are happy He put us in this gathering, small gathering. Because even Muslim people they are not thinking at all for Creator. No. They are Muslim. Some of them praying. Most of them not praying even. But who are following right way, they are happy. So in shā’Allāh we are... Nobody envious for them. They are ok. "You can do what you like to do", they say. "We are nothing to take from you or to be envious for you." For this, they are not making envy for these people. But they are not clever.
And Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla He is happy to be all human being like this. But human being not accepting. Allāh not prevent anybody from coming to Him. Who prevent? Shayṭan̄ . If you will go one step to good place or good people, not one shayṭān, thousand shayṭān coming prevent you to go to there, to meet the right way or to be with good people. So we are also like, like Mawlanā Shaykh he was whole life trying to bring people to this happy way who very few people. But al-ḥamdu li-Llāh he bring thousand, hundred thousand people. And he was still at the end in this way. In shā’Allāh with his barakah this way also bring many people to this happy gathering, real happiness.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
78.STRONG BELIEF Thursday, 4 March, 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said the victory for who is with Allāh. Maybe sometimes getting difficult, but the end, who is with Allāh ! he will succeed and he will win. To be strong, you must obey Allāh's ! order. He ! give you spiritual power. It is more powerful from weapons, from missiles, from guns, from cannons. But shayṭān and his followers they are making our belief, īmān, to be weak. They are using every kind of trick and every dirty play to make us away from Allāh !. In these countries, of course, it is more dangerous. But even in Muslim country also they have nearly like here. Everything for ego, for bad desire they can do. Because shayṭān, he knows with belief, who are following Allāh ! order and they are believers, they have power. He cannot win on them. All time they are winning, they are beating him.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla create us for what? Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said "wa-mā khalaqtu l-jinna wa l-insa illā liya‘budūn" (51:56) For worshipping. And Prophet " he said if you really believe and worshipping, Allāh ! He will give you your rizq, your food without doing anything. He make example for like birds. They are morning waking and flying to place, nighttime coming with their stomach full of food. Maybe people they cannot believe this. But even Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He give for Mūsā and his nation, when they are running away from Pharaoh to Sinai, every day they were giving them food, heavenly food. It is example for human being. Allāh ! He can give. But this belief you cannot find. What Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam even for ṣaḥābah, they don't have. They of course, many of them they have. But also they go working, not to be lazy.
But Prophet " he said giving good tiding, he teach us your belief's not so strong. If your belief strong, you have everything. We are trying to get belief, īmān. Some of īmān, from Prophet " īmān to save these people. They are maybe we said 1-2, maybe 5%. But at least, 50-60% they are following or more following shayṭān. And they are losing their belief. We must teach children, our children to be good believer. How to teach them? To take them in front of you and tell them. Of course, you can do this all. But if you are not practicing, not showing them what is belief, they will not follow. You must first correct yourself. For yourself, you must be tough. Don't give any chance for say today you can do this, tomorrow we will not do it. Don't say this. From today we will finish this bad habit and make it to be clean.
If you have the belief, you'll be like Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. He was in middle
of fire and fire becoming paradise for him. We can say everywhere in this world, if you have this belief, nothing affect you. Because our people who Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He sent them to these countries, first they come to get money work, to go back for their family. But they're stuck. They're stuck here and they bring their family or they are married from here. They have house. It is like home country for them now. So the important thing to not forget their belief. Money, food, as we said from beginning of ṣuḥbah, Allāh ! give this. Keep your belief strong. That time you are not afraid from anything. The most important thing - if you have it, you're safe.
Because shayṭān knows these people. "Here more easy for me to finish them here" he said. Because, of course, we are not criticize this country's system. Because this is land of non-believers, kufr. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying "Laysa ba‘da lkufri dhanb". What this meaning? After who they are non-believers, no bigger sin than this. They can be communist, they can be atheist, they can be fascist, they can be everything - it is not important. We are not trying to fix the system in this country. What we try to keep believers solid like iron ball, not crushing. Not like rice or wheat, they can crush and finish. Must be like iron, strong belief. If you have this, this is no problem. But if you don't have, this is problem.
So, in shā’Allāh, we must be together. Don't be alone. Bring your children, bring for mosque, for dargāh, for everywhere. Bring children and tell these some retired men sitting in mosque, they are getting angry for small children. If they're coming and making noise, they are shouting on them. And these children they're running away, not coming to mosque anymore. We must have wisdom. Not for your... Even when you are in mosque, you can make harm for people. You send one boy, young boy or child, and his whole life he will not come back to mosque or he will hate mosque. So we must have wisdom. We must be happy with these who are coming from children, young boys, young girls who coming to mosque or to dargāh. We must be happy with them. We must help for them, to help them from everything, to teach them, to listen for them, to help them.
In shā’Allāh we hope with your good intention to save these. Because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He look for heart and for intention, and He ! give with your intention. Of course, we are hoping. Allāh ! knows when Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes. But he's near, look like very near. But also Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying you do, don't wait. Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām he will come. Until that time we will not do anything? No, you must make your best to help and to save people. In shā’Allāh we hope. He is savior. He will save small and big, all human being. Because they finish everything in this world. Everything they try, nothing helps. Going from day to another day from worse to worse. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh we have good tiding. Prophet " saying Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām he will come and he will save all believers. Human being, they will be saved when he comes.
And these days Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam he " mentioned exactly what happen nowadays. And he " said after this Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes.
For this, don't be hopeless. "Lā taqnaṭū min raḥmati Llāh" (39:53) Don't be hopeless from mercy of Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said "Alaysa ṣ-ṣubḥu biqarīb" (11:81) Āyah meaning the morning light, it is not far. So don't be sad. Be happy. What will happen now, it is Prophet " prophecy. And it happen. And we must be more strong believer. Prophet " make his prophecy. And this prophecy one by one since 1,440 years nearly coming one after one, one after one. Until Qiyāmah what he " said, it will be. And now time of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām and Antichrist and ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām also. And we are believing for him. Who believe to be with him, in shā’a Llāh, he will reach him and to meet him, in shā’a Llāh. Even there is Muslim scholar, they are saying this is not true. This coming also from shayṭān, make them to lose their way. Because there is ḥadīth Prophet " saying about Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām, about ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām. And it will happen. In shā’Allāh, we meet him soon and reach these good nice days after all this darkness, all this bad thing. Everything is spoilt in this world. When he come, everything it will be perfect.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
79.ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO FORGIVE Thursady, 4 May, 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wal-kāẓimīna l-ghayẓa wal-ʿāfīna ʿani n-nāsi wa Llāhu yuḥibbu l- muḥsinīn." (3:134) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created mankind. He created them beautiful. And for their behaviour, He sent the prophets to people to clean their wild character, to make them good people. A good person is a person who believes in Allāh. A person who follows Allāh and the Prophet is the good one. He is the one who keeps Allāh's orders and prohibitions. And these orders are to get along well with people, to treat people well. The true Muslim people love for the sake of Allāh and dislike for the sake of Allāh. Of course, you should treat every one well. Everybody is the servant of Allāh. However, a person who says "I don't love Allāh", a person who denies Allāh - of course we mustn't beat and swear at them - but we should dislike them. At least, we shouldn't love them. You should say "Allāh created them like this, may Allāh protect us". You should say "Shukr to Allāh He didn't create us like them". But Muslims and those who are on the path of Allāh, you should treat them well.
As all Muslims believe in Allāh and are on the right path, they should be treated well. But those who enter Islām and mislead people from their way, they can't be given love. As they are not on this way, we should pray to Allah that they are guided and come to the right way. But between Muslims, there should be love and respect. As long as a man is on the way of Allāh and the Prophet, people can make mistakes. There is an ego. Sometimes the ego wins. Mistakes are made. We should not turn those mistakes into a grudge. Grudgebearing is not good. It doesn't suit Muslims. The one on the way of our Prophet cannot hold grudges. A grudge is not a dislike. A grudge is different. To dislike means to not show admiration for what they do. To have a grudge is to have some enmity against them, it is a shayṭānic thing. If someone lets it inside, it won't go away. Therefore, when people, to be more accurate, people on the right way see a mistake or something not nice, they should love for Allāh and dislike for Allāh. If they come to the right way, that dislike goes away. No aversion remains. It turns into love. But the grudge doesn't leave. Even if a the other person is Awliyā’, that grudge remains inside him. Therefore, we should be careful about it. People who are on the way of our Prophet never keep a grudge, not dislike.
There are many groups in the Islamic world. And there is a middle group which goes on the way of our Prophet. And there are two more groups, both are built on grudge- bearing. They are harming Muslims. Nothing can harm Islām. One group is those who don't love Ahlu l-Bayt of our Prophet. They have a grudge against them. They have grudge. They have grudge saying "Why are those descending from the Prophet so valuable while our (descendants) are not?" And also they have a grudge against the ṣaḥābah. And that is an invention of shayṭān. Our Prophet had the closest people, they call them "cihari güzin", Ḥaḍrat Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān,‘Alī. They don't accept the three. They begrudge them. Those people should correct themselves in order for their ends to be good, to be true Muslims. Otherwise, those two groups, they are out of their way and they are harming Muslims. They are without mercy.
Allāh doesn't love those people. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying "Wa l-kāẓimīna l-ghayẓa". Who suppress their anger, who forgive other people, Allāh loves those who are kind. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla loves such people. So He doesn't love the rest. Of course, as we said, small things happen between Muslims and people of ṭarīqah because of the ego. That is nothing. Allāh is forgiving. And Muslims forgive each other. That passes over, not so important. But as we said, we shouldn't hold grudges. We should educate our ego. Not like other groups - right since breastfeeding, they inject this grudge into them. Then they come out claiming they are Muslim. It can't be like this. You can see it as it is. The condition of the Islamic world is clear. Because of these two groups, blood is all around. Muslim is killing another Muslim. He's killing everyone he sees. It's wrong. Allāh won't forgive them. They will pay for this. And they will regret it. May Allāh make us from the forgiving ones. May we not have even an atom of grudge in our hearts, in shā’a Llāh. May we love only for the sake of Allāh. And those who are not on the way of Allāh are not so because they are not following it, but because everything is in the hands of Allāh. We dislike those attributes.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He creates human being and he is like animal. But from His generosity He sends for human being prophets to make this wild creature, to make them following to be good creature, to be human being. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said "wa lkāẓimīna l-ghayẓ wa l-‘āfīna ‘ani n-nās wa Llāhu yuḥibbu l-muḥsinīn" (3:134) Allāh He like, love the people who are kept their anger to not be angry; when they become angry to hold themself and to be forgiveness, to be forgiveness for people. And Allāh He is loving generous people also. Allāh love this people. And we must be following this order. This order very important to make the human being happy, to not be wild. Everyone they have fault, they have mistake. We are looking because we also have. We say to be forgive for them. And we are loving for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And we must hate for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla also.
Of course we are loving people who are following order of Allāh and follow Prophet. And we are happy with them. Because they are, what Allāh they love them, we love
them. But if some people not accepting order of Allāh, even they are not accepting Allāh we are not obligatory, obliged to love them. We are not love them. We are because Allāh He said don't love them, we don't love them. But we not do anything for them, only we make pray for them may Allāh changes them to be good people.
And for people who are following order of Allāh we love them. But in this who are following religion there is people also out of order of Allāh. With this people also we also not love them - not for ourself, for order of Allāh. Don't love this people, we are not loving this people. But we are not put a hatred, no hatred in... grudge, grudge very bad thing. Not love thing but, grudge it is very bad thing. Grudge in Muslim heart you cannot find this. But in non-believer, kāfir they have this. And they have other kind also. The people who are out of right way in Islām they have grudge also. But we are only, we not love when people they are not following Allāh order. We don't have not put grudge because if you put this in your heart you cannot take it out. It is very bad seed.
And Islamic world there is many kind of people and there now there is three major group in Islamic world. One the middle "Ummatan wasaṭan" (2:143) Prophet saying they are following Prophet. They like what he like. They not like what he don't like. And there is two group they are following what they are happy to follow and not following what they are not happy with it. This two group they put grudge in their hearts since childhood. Even they are baby they put this grudge against one group, against Ahla l-Bayt, The holy family of Prophet. They have this grudge because they are coming from same place, so they have why his and this man we are more powerful one, we must be on him, on his family. They have this grudge and they are when they find any chance they like to finish them. This is what they learn. Other also group even this they are worse because they are, whole their culture build on grudge. Especially against Prophet's companion. They say against, first group against Prophet Ahla l-Bayt but they are really against Prophet also. Anything you tell them about Prophet they become crazy.
Other group also they said we like Ahla l-Bayt but we don't like companion of Prophet and Prophet cannot be different from his companion. So they are also, they have a grudge for Prophet. This two group they are destroying Muslim world these days. They don't have any mercy. They don't have any forgiveness. We don't like to be like this people. We are not agree. Muslim, real Muslim, who following Prophet, accepting Ahla l-Bayt. They are our masters, they are our beloved people and we are accept companion of Prophet beginning from Sayyidīna Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān other also - all they are like bone and meat, you cannot make any difference. But when they saying something they are really against Prophet. They try to hide but al-ḥamdu liLlāh this is end of time, they open, everybody can see this. We not accept this, for this we are our teaching - we don't have any grudge in our heart. What people they can do, we are forgive them. Even when they ask forgiveness, when they are asking, coming to way of Prophet, our hate coming to be love for this people.
So we are, our teaching this is, this is teaching of Prophet. For the whole time he was asking forgiveness for his nation. Saying ummati, ummati, my nation, my nation. This even Day of Resurrection he is asking forgiveness for his ummah. So we are anything between us but what happen, it is we can forgive for everything. So this is we must learn. Don't learn any hatred any bad thing. Allāh reward us for this. He said, I love this people: "wa lkāẓimīna l-ghayẓ wa l-‘āfīna ‘ani n-nās wa Llāhu yuḥibbu l-muḥsinīn" (3:134) Allāh make us from His lovers. This is the biggest thing can human being have it. Nothing more than this. People, many people they are wondering why I'm in this life. In this life for to have this love of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, this is the main reason. Remember this in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
80.ASK ON LAYLATUL-BARA’AT Friday, 5 May 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.
May this Jum‘ah be blessed. It is Jum‘ah of Sha‘bān, the holy month. In shaAllāh next week we will reach the day and night of the 15th of Sha‘bān, in shaAllāh. It is revealed from our Prophet that the 15th of Sha‘bān is holy and it is revealed in Qur’ān by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He says that on that night it is written what everyone will do, where they'll come and go for the upcoming year. That night is a holy night. Our Prophet used to pray till the morning on those nights, especially on the 15th night. Ḥaḍrati ‘Ā’ishah said she heard prayers she never heard before until the morning. And Ḥadrati ‘Ā’ishah asked our Prophet, "Why do you pray so much on this night?" "This night is the night when everything for the coming year is written. I want to worship and stay awake praying during this night", said our Prophet.
We can't interfere with Allāh. How does this happen? Does it change or not what Allāh has written? He orders us to pray. The book in which there is everything written for everyone is in the presence of Allāh. Even if He writes whatever He wishes, "Yamḥū l- lahu mā yashāu wa yuth'bit." (13:39) Even if anything He wants is written, He can erase and rewrite it. Or He will make do with what is written. And the minds of people are capable up to a limit. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla - the whole universe, everything we see in it, is smaller than an atom of His knowledge. All kinds of knowledges are nothing next to the greatness of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla with all His greatness is granting us these nights. "You pray. I will give you what you are asking for. I will forgive you. I will raise you up. I will increase your rizq (provision). I will cure you". Everything is in the hands of Allāh. He orders to pray till the morning. "I will accept it. I will accept everyone's prayers and forgive everyone who is not making shirk, not drinking alcohol, not doing adultery." And if they repent for their sins, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will forgive them. But if they object, they are preparing their own punishment. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla Arḥamu r-Rāḥimīn - His mercy is endless. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has mercy oceans. Whatever you do, Allāh still forgives. But if you insist on disobeying Him, you will have made your own punishment. Therefore, we should be careful. We have to think why we came to this world. Did we come for dunyā? If we came for dunyā, this suffering wouldn't be necessary. Just like
Allāh created animals, we'd live and go like them. So He created us for something. He favoured us. He sent us the prophets so that they could show us the right way by reason. Don't leave the right way. When you are on the right way, some shayṭāns may bother you. You think you're on the right way, and even when you're on the right way, he (shaytṭān) can push you to evil. Therefore, we should be careful.
On this night, we should beg Allāh with sincerity, as we are weak servants, to not leave us to our egos. Don't let us act as we like. May we be on this way only for Your pleasure - we should beg for this. And the Islamic world is in a bad condition. A Muslim is a brother to other Muslims, says our Prophet. Muslims are like one body. If any part of the body has pain, not only does that part hurt, but whole body will feel it. Even if a finger nail is hurt, the whole body will feel that pain. And we as Muslims should pray for Muslims in this world, for this oppression to end because we can't do anything else. But praying to Allāh is our biggest weapon.
May Allāh punish those who are oppressing these people. May He trouble them so that they are busy with their own troubles and leave Muslims alone. May we pray that He sends us Imam Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. This is the biggest prayer we should make on the 15th night of Sha‘bān. The one who will show us the way of Allāh, the one who will raise Islām is Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. May we reach him. We pray that he comes as soon as possible. Then you can pray and ask whatever you want. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla loves the persistent ones, when you ask for one thing for a hundred times. If you tell someone something several times, he'll say "Enough. You are too annoying". But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla always wants His servant to be with Him, to beg Him. If one asks for a hundred or a thousand times, Allāh loves such a person. Therefore, its wisdom is to not go and beg other people. Beg Allāh. Allāh will certainly give.
But people have no patience. People are without patience. If He doesn't give now, He'll give later. If He doesn't give later, He'll give even later. But He will certainly give. Then a person will realize it happened but he'll have had discomfort from lack of patience. Therefore, these nights are holy nights. They are a gift from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. We should respect them. We read Yāsīn 3 times between maghrib and ʿishāʾ. A Yāsīn will be read for health, rizq and long life. Then we will pray 100 rakaʿāt prayers. It is sunnah nafl. If you do it and make duʿāʾ, Allāh will grant you 70 wishes, says our Prophet. The least is the forgiveness of sins. Forgiving sins is not easy. People, all of us have sins. We don't feel the heaviness of sins. But when it's released, a man feels better and lighter. Even if he doesn't feel it, when sins are forgiven, he worships better and he lives better.
May Allāh bless these nights. May we spend them next year with Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām in shaAllāh. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are in Sha‘bān-i mu‘aẓẓam. The month of Prophet, month of light of Prophet, month of Laylatu l-Barā’at. This is night of what will be for next year for everybody - not only whole together, everybody. Allāh make program for
everybody from 15th Sha‘bān to next 15th Sha‘bān. In this they write, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla write what will happen - you be married, you be travel, you be go to ‘Umrah to Ḥajj. Who will be pregnant, who will be given birth. Who will die, who will maybe something happen for him. All this from 15th Sha‘bān to another 15th Sha‘bān Allāh write in the Ummu l-Kitāb, the mother of the book, that book for what write for human being. This is Allāh greatness. Allāhu Akbaru l-Akbar.
The greatest greatest Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. His knowledge it is what whole this universe they have from knowledge, from think people, they are even for this not maybe one atom they are not finding even with this Allāh knowledge you cannot compare at all. Whole this universe not even like one dust. And He is with His Mightiness saying, looking for the believer people and told them to ask what they want to ask. He said The writing, what I write it must be done, but also He said everything in His hand and He can change "Yamḥū llahu mā yashāu wa yuth'bit." (13:39) He can cancel and can make the new one. For this, for giving this idea for believer and saying be careful, ask what you want from me this night. It is written there is, but I can cancel and write a new thing.
When people they ask, "How they can?" People now they are many people trying to make themself are they're more clever for other people, said "No, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He write everything and when I go to wrong way, doing wrong thing is also was writing." This is bad adab, bad behaviour. It is even for if you say this for normal man you not respect him. How you can, how dare you are saying this for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, for His whole this Greatness, His Mightiness? And you say making wrong thing and after you say this is Allāh will. This is very bad for people, this is shayṭān idea. Many group they coming between Muslim also and saying this, making people to lose their belief. No. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He make this good occasion for us to get more blessed, to get more mercy from Him.
"Ask" He said. Don't worry. Maybe somebody when somebody coming to one asking something many times, it is saying "Oh you are too much for me. Why you all time saying something the same coming and you catching me and saying and repeating and repeating?" Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla opposite. This He is liking to be ask Him, maybe 100 times, 1000 times. He is more happy when you ask. Don't make, say I'm not asking, not make Allāh angry for me. No. You can ask. He is happy because every time you ask you remember Him. You believe on His High Greatness and Generosity of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. So we are, in shaAllāh, this night it will be for to asking, you must ask not only for yourself, for your friend, for your family, for your country. And Muslim he is ... Prophet saying Muslim like one body. If anybody can have any problem like in body, if you have one nail in your feet, your whole, you are feeling this. But if for Muslim also - You are here happy and other people they are suffering and you cannot do anything. We only our weapon to pray, to make du‘ā’ to Allāh take this oppression, take this war, take this miseries from this people, our brothers, Muslim brothers. Because whole shayṭān and
follower they are follow trying to destroy Muslim. So don't say this is they are far away from us. No. We are feeling sad, feeling sorry for them and we asking Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to help them, to make them win on this oppressor people.
And we especially praying for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām to come and to make justice. Now no justice at all. Before they was saying, third world no justice but now we seeing first world they more oppression people. Whole world now, no place there is justice. No at all justice in this world. Only now Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām when he come he will fill with justice. Because before sometime some country they have justice, some country they don't have. But Prophet he said, when he come he will fill whole world with justice as it was filled with, full with injustice. So now time of no any place in this world they have justice. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we have reached to this time so it must be Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām, time to Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām to come and to fill with justice, in shaAllāh. We are praying for this and you know every Sha‘bān we do this, in 15th of Sha‘bān.
After maghrib, between maghrib, ‘ishā’ we read Yāsin sharīf three times. And after ‘ishā’ until morning you can pray hundred rak‘at nāfilat for 15 of Sha‘bān. And Prophet saying, who pray this Allāh give him seventy thing what he want he ask for this. The lowest one Allāh forgive your sins, all your sins. People now, all we have sins but we are not feeling. But it is heaviness, really heaviness for people they are not feeling heaviness but when Allāh forgive and no more sins, it become more happiness for people, more light and more barakah. So it is real blessed night. We must be happy, thankful for Allāh, He give us this holy night as gift. For who want, who want this he can take, He not prevent anybody. He asking "wa-Llāhu yad‘ū ilá dāri s-salām" (10:25).
Allāh ask for people, invite people to come but people not coming. They are only harming themself. Allāh saying, don't do this and when you do so it is your fault. If you asking forgiveness and barakah, blessed, from Allāh, He will give you. But when you are not listening what you done - not Allāh, make this oppression, you make this oppression for yourself. Allāh He is merciful. His mercy oceans endless. "wa mā rabbuka biẓallāmin lil‘abīd" (41:46) He said "I am not oppression." It is not from His attributes. Everything you done, you done for yourself. So we must, in shaAllāh, appreciate this night. And make du‘ā’, especially for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām to come. This is most important. Mawlānā's will also he said every time: "ask for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām every time." In shaAllāh we ask for him. In shaAllāh for next year we hope to be with him, in shaAllāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

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 is saying "Man ‘ārifa nafsahu faqad ‘arifa rabbahu." Mankind should know themselves. When you know yourself, you know Allāh, you know the Creator. In order for a man to know why he was created, he should know himself. Not according to his mind, but only according to the teaching of Allāh will someone know himself. Allāh is telling us how we are and shayṭān is telling other things to others.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying "We created you from clay. Then you became bones and flesh. And We gave you soul". A soul is the order of Allāh. No one carries that secret but Allāh. Even our Prophet is saying "It is known to Allāh, I don't know it". Our Prophet - the one who knows his self the best is our Prophet. He is giving us good examples. All knowledge of this world has been given to our Prophet, from beginning to the end. They call these sciences different names. And all of them were revealed by Allāh to our Prophet. He knows them all. And because he knows them, he is telling us about Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He is teaching us about Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
In order for us to know our limits, our Prophet is telling us the thing he doesn't know. Because as everything has been created, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla put a limit. And there is nothing like limit for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. You can't say He's unlimited either. You can't say He's limitless because it puts somethin
