Suhbah 2017: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (10/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5484
s Affairs (Diyanet) is whom we follow because they are the Ulul Amr (those ruling). They are calculating it as Ru’ya and Saturday is the first of Ramadan according to Ru’ya. We will start Tarawih tomorrow night. The month of Ramadan is a holy month and a beautiful month. Everybody recognizes the beauty of this month. So it is not only material but what is essential is the spiritual life.
There are beautiful times and beautiful months of Allah. And the most beautiful of them is the month of Ramadan. “The month of my Nation,” says our Holy Prophet. Rajab and Shaban are also beautiful, but Allah made this month more beautiful because it is the month of the Nation. He made it especially more beautiful so we may take more pleasure, become happier, and get our spiritual food. The sultan of 11 months is the month of Ramadan.
May it be blessed (mubarak) and may it be good Inshallah. May it pass with abundance (fayd) and baraka Inshallah. Fasting during the day and Tarawih, night prayers, and sahur at night: it is all baraka and beauty. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He has many material and spiritual gifts for those who pay attention to and show respect to this month. Yet there are poor people: Ramadan comes and goes and they have no idea. They are poor people. They are poor people because they do not get their share of this beautiful month and of this beauty. No fasting, no prayer (namaz), and no supplication. They should be called those who have no idea what is going on because the world is not [just] a place to puff away and eat food all day long like four-legged creatures. They are only satisfying their stomachs. As we said, four-legged creatures do the same thing too. Allah created humans as higher and gave them His commands. Those who follow these commands rise, and of course those who do not, as we said, are poor people since they
did not receive a share and they have no kismet. There is no need to emulate them when you see them. A person on this way does not emulate them anyway. As we said, we need to feel sorry for them for not receiving their share of this beauty. We are saying, “May Allah give them guidance too.”
May Allah not deviate us from the right path. May we not follow our ego Inshallah. May it pass with goodness, with baraka, and with beauty Inshallah. May it be safe and sound for this country and for the Islamic world Inshallah. May dissensions (fitnas) stop. May this trouble be lifted from the Nation of Muhammad, the whole Islamic world. May wars and fighting stop from now on InshaAllah so we may hereby reach peace InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
97.ISLAM IS THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS Tuesday, 30 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."Fa man yuridi Llāhu an yahdiyahu yashraḥ ṣadrahu lil-Islām Wa man yurid an yuḍillahu yajʿal ṣadrahu ḍayyiqan ḥarajan ka-annamā yaṣṣa‘‘adu fī s- samā’i" (6:125) When Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla wants goodness for a person, He makes him love Islām. He finds peace in Islām and becomes happy. Together with that favour Allāh gives happiness and peace. With that peace, people around him feel at peace too. They feel themselves in comfort. But when He wishes evil for a person he's given pressure, he's given troubles. And when he hears the name of Islām, he feels even worse.
Indeed, those who are not honored with Islām, those who don't follow Islām, are always in troubles, in pressure, sadness and stress. But the true believer is at peace. He has a good life. Life can be good with or without money. As long as Allāh wishes, the one gaining the pleasure of Allāh is in peace. Ilāhī anta maṭlūbī wa riḍāka maqṣūdī. "Allāh, You are my goal. My aim is to reach You. And Your pleasure is what I ask for." We say "May Allāh be pleased" very often. They say it's the manner of speaking. People don't realize that it is a very big station, a very big favour, the pleasure of Allāh. A man gaining the pleasure of Allāh reaches everything.
May Allāh be pleased with all of us, in shā’Allāh. May we always be at peace. May we be at peace, in shā’Allāh and always be in guidance so that this peace lasts forever. May there not be pressure. May we never be troubled for dunyā. May all our problems be the pleasure of Allāh, how we can make Allāh pleased, in shā’Allāh. The pleasure of Allāh. As long as He wants, we will be happy inside and have reached His pleasure, in shā’a Llāh. Nevertheless, people in other conditions are by the decree of Allāh. If Allāh wishes, they'll be granted too. Therefore, don't trust your ego much and don't blame others. Always seek refuge in Allāh.
Don't forget Allāh so that this favour lasts forever. With shukr favours last. Most people fear that they may lose it. If you make shukr, you won't lose. The promise of Allāh and the Prophet is that favours last with shukr. The biggest favour is Allāh's pleasure. Therefore, shukr for our conditions and situations, hundred thousand shukr, in shā’a
Llāh. May this favour last for us, our brothers and ummati Muḥammad, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān He what when He want for somebody hidāyah (guidance) his heart is open. It is coming happiness from his heart for hidāyah of Allāh or Islām and Allāh opening for him Islām. Islām it is secret of happiness. Nobody can change this because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is our Creator. and He said, when He want somebody to be happy and his heart to be open, Allāh give him hidāyah, right way. Right way it is Islām. The most beautiful way the most perfect system for human being, for human being and for jinn also. Because there is another creature also. All this they are following Prophet accepting Prophet when they are mentioned in Qur’ān.
So who will be, Allāh want him to be happy, He open way for him to reach to this happy way. Other, who want them to be miserable make them when they are hearing name of Islām to be afraid, to be become not happiness, miseries for them. But also if they are, if you without hearing this name, they are also not happy because real happiness is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying for Islām. "wa man yurid an yuḍillahu yaj‘al ṣadrahu ḍayyiqan" (6:125) He is making his heart very tight and very narrow and feeling as his breath finish. It is thing Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, He is our Creator, His description He is our situation, human being situation, and giving address for people for happiness.
Happiness not in philosophy. Happiness not in lie. Happiness not in this system of human being every time they are changing. No only system can be happy but Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He put perfect, it is system for each very small thing - even saying about what you can do, what you cannot do. So Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is, give this favour for us. We must be happy. And you must be thankful. Because this is from Allāh and He can every time change it. But we are afraid to change it. But there is also good tiding. He is saying, if you are thankful, Allāh give you more and make it continuous, not cutting. Wa bi sh-shukru tadūmu n-ni‘am By thanking favour is continue, not cutting. This is His promise also. So every time we must be thankful for Him to not be make us like others, to take us from this way, way of His pleasure. It is the most important thing for our life, for human being.
Because main aim for us to find pleasure for Allāh and to reach to Him. This is our aim. And, in shā’a Llāh, He is opening way. And He happy with people who are thanking for Him. And He promised to make it more and more, in shā’Allāh. Alḥamdu liLlāh this is good tiding from Allāh for all of us. Allāh keep this favour for whole of human being and give them hidāyah also, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
98.DON’T WASTE Wednesday, 31 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem."Yā banī ādama khudhū zin̄ atakum ʿinda kulli masjidin wa kulū wa-ishrabū walā tusrifūinnaHu lā yuḥibbu l- musrifin̄ ." (7:31) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling people when you go to a mosque, enter it with a good and proper appearance. Eat and drink from what is ḥalāl. Ḥalāl is one of the best orders of Islām. Eating ḥalal, drinking ḥalāl strengthens people's faith. It brings health to the body. And shayṭān doesn't want it. He says don't eat ḥalāl.
Now at the end of times, they are bringing up every means to try to prevent ḥalāl. That is a different matter. The matter is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla orders not to waste. Eat and drink from ḥalāl, of course, but don't waste. Allāh doesn't love those who waste. We are Muslim, shukr to Alla . We pray five times, shukr to Allāh. What is wasting? Wasting... Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla says eat and drink. Eat and drink as much as you want. You should do it with the intention that it will give you strength and help you in your worship. That is not wasting. You can eat as much as you can. There is no prohibition in that. Wasting is when you eat one bite and throw the rest away. That is wasting.
What you don't eat, you can give to the poor. It will be thawāb (reward) for you and not be a waste. If there are no poor people, you still shouldn't throw it away. You can feed the animals. It will be written as ṣadaqāh (charity). You'll be rewarded. But throwing away doesn't suit Muslims. Muslims have developed such habits that when guests come, especially when people in Saudi Arabia invite guests, they always put a sheep there filled with rice. A man takes one or two bites of it. Then how much can he eat? He can't eat. But that's just showing off and wasting. And [for them] it is shameful to give it to the poor. They must show it was offered for the guests and throw it in the garbage so that people see it and say someone had a guest and he offered this. These are Muslims, people
who pray five times a day but this means they are people whom Alla people loved by Allāh don't waste.
doesn't love, as
As we said, eat as much as you can and give the rest to the poor so that Allāh writes rewards for you, so that you are among the people loved by Alla . But otherwise, you can know the Qur’ān if you want or pray all the time, you won't be loved by Allāh. You
will have wasted and thrown the favours away. It is not shameful to finish the food on the plate. That's a shame next to shayṭān. We went to some place last year. They were Muslim too.
They always leave some food on their plates so that it's not embarrassing. That is embarrassing for shayṭān. Shayṭa is embarrassing them that they eat everything. But Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla says to clean the plate and not to waste. We should pay attention to this because shayṭān comes from unexpected doors to Muslims.
May Allāh make us among the loved and loving ones. May He not let us waste, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying "O human being when you go to mosque or to praying place be handsome or to be good wearing, putting clothes on yourself." Don't go with clothes from work but if you are near work you can do this but not from your house. If you will go be look for yourself. Not like going to for dinner but also you must be clean, you must be good. Because you are going in front of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, you must be respect. And He said: "kulū wa-ishrabū walatusrifū" (7:31) Eat and drink. No anything - only in Ramaḍān when you are fasting you cannot eat but after eat and drink. But be careful to be ḥalāl. Because these days everything shayṭān and his followers trying to make everything ḥaram.
Now our, there is many Muslim brothers, Muslim organisation or Muslim countries they
put ḥalāl in label, ḥalāl. I said for but shayṭa because people they will run but with ḥalal̄
he is more clever not putting ḥarām for his even they are cheating people. Many people
they put not ḥalāl. But it is for this people who cheating people, they will be asked. Because Muslim only he will said we find ḥalāl and we eat. And ḥalal̄ also to eat not to cheat people, take their money and eat [with it]. This is also ḥarām also must be ḥalāl and drink ḥalāl.
This is ok. Allāh permit for this. But He said, don't waste. He not like the people who are waste. musrif israf̄ , musrif. Wasting people wasteful people. There is in Muslim country you can eat as much, you can eat ok you eat. Say bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm and eat, drink, as much you can. Your intention, you make this for power for your body to make ‘ibādah, to obey Allāh's order.
You must be strong, ok. This is, He said eat and drink. But what He said? Don't waste. Not Allāh not like wasteful people. Now people taking thing eating and throwing what left in garbage. This is waste. If you can eat, eat. You cannot eat, maybe you can give for poor people - this also not waste. Even you will [be] rewarded for this. If too much there is no also, you cannot find poor people, put this food what you left, for animal. Allāh also
reward you because there is no tongue for them and you feed them. You be big reward for you.
But Muslim, especially shayṭān cheat them by customs. Muslims they are praying five times a day, fasting, doing Ḥajj, zaka everything but they have custom. What this custom? If you invite some people you must make big food. And after what left, you must not give to poor people just to throw in garbage. Especially in Arab country - not this poor Arab country, the petrol Arab country. We see many. and they are same, they are telling us. He said, "if any guest come we must buy sheep in oven and they full inside rice and you can eat as much you can eat. After what you will do? You must throw it in garbage, dustbin. If you give for people it is very shame for us. Our custom it is not allowed us to do this. Not allowed to give anything for from what left from guest or from ourself. You must throw it in garbage." This is people, this people Allāh not like them. "innaHu lā yuḥibbu l-musrifīn" (7:31) He not like this wasteful people.
Last year also I was in one Muslim country and after they eating food everybody they have in his their dish there is some, they left something. They say, if we don't left this, it is shame for us, shameful. We cannot, we must leave something to say this people they are not poor people. They eat and they left something. This is shayṭān's trick because Muslim he must clean - in Turkish we say 'sunnet', yani sunnah of Prophet - meaning you must be your dish very clean, not leave anything inside. But this how they understand we don't know. It is isrāf, making poorness for people also. And they worse than poorness, to be not loved by Allāh. Allāh He love people who are not wasteful.
In shā’a Llāh, be careful. Mawlānā he was very careful for this, for israf̄ . Many time looking for dustbin, for garbage, to not waste anything. It is big lesson for ourself and for human being. Don't be ashamed from thing Allāh make it ḥalāl. We ashamed of something ḥara . Allāh give us good understanding, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
99.ĪMĀN IS CLEANLINESS Thursday, 1 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is ordering. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem."Wa thiyābaka faṭahhir wa r-rujza fa-hjur." (74:4,5) "Inna Llāha yuḥibbu t-tawābīna wa yuḥibbu l-mutaṭahhirīn."(2:222) Allāh loves cleanliness and those who repent. He orders to keep your clothes clean. Make them clean. Cleanliness is from īmān. Cleanliness is an important thing. The main important thing in Islām is cleanliness. If you are not clean, no worship will be accepted. Prayers won't be accepted, ḥajj won't be accepted. It is required for the worship. And it is one of the beautiful orders of Islām.
Cleanliness is an order for Muslims. They should keep it. We should be careful about it. But unfortunately, there is no cleanliness. And dirtiness is from shayṭān. Dirt is from shayṭān. Kufr is dirtiness. They are swimming in dirt. What we mean by dirt is not only the clothes, you have to clean your inside too. We make tawbah (repentance) to Allāh. When you make tawbah, you clean yourself. Allāh loves those who make tawbah and cleanse, those who keep themselves clean from outside and from inside. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla said unbelievers should not come to Makkah and Madīnah after that year. After the year of the conquest they were given a four months extension. Then He said they were dirty.
Dirtiness can be physical and a person who doesn't believe becomes dirty too. He is dirty. There's no reason to imitate him. Our ignorant Muslims sometimes imitate the foreigners. Their outside is merely a shell. And they can't even keep their shells clean. There are all kinds of dirtiness. And inside, they are dirty completely. Therefore, first we should start with the outside cleanliness so that our worship is accepted and so the inside is cleaned. And if you don't clean from outside, your worship won't be accepted. If it's not accepted, it is useless.
Cleanliness is from īmān. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla said this. And being clean suits us, in shā’a Llāh. Clean not only yourself, but also around you. If you don't throw garbage in the street, the street will be clean. You throw, they throw, everyone throws. And it's dirty. Neither streets, nor the country is clean. Everywhere is dirty. Whereas
there is a simple way for it. There would be no need for the cleaners then. If only people were on the way loved by Allāh.
May Allāh make all of us from the clean ones. May dirtiness be far away from us. May the dirtiness of kufr and shayṭān stay far from us, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said, Allāh "inna Llāha yuḥibbu t-tawwābīn wa yuḥibbu l- mutaṭahhirīn" (2:222) "wa thiyābaka fa-ṭahhir wa r-rujza fa-hjur" (74:4-5) This Āyah, many Āyah in Qur’ān-i Karīm, showing us and ordering to be clean. Cleanness it is very important thing in Islām. Only in Islām they are looking for cleaning, cleanness. No any another religion looking for cleanness. You can, you cannot do without washing yourself, no ‘ibādah. After washing yourself, if you don't take every day ablution, wuḍū’, also no ‘ibādah for you. This giving cleanness for you beginning from outside coming to inner side cleaning, spiritual cleaning.
First you must clean after you be in spiritual also clean because imān it is cleanness. Imān - Allāh like, love people who are clean people from outside to inside. But shayṭān he not like this. In opposite he like every dirty thing. Every dirty thing only shayṭān and his followers like and love it because who following shayṭān not accepting Allāh. Allāh say for them, this is dirty people. Dirty, dirtiness with non-believer. Allāh say, don't let them come to My house, Ka‘bah Makkah. For Madinah also for Prophet place don't let them. This people who are not believer they are dirty. They are not acceptable in divinely presence. Maybe in world, people they are happy to see them and love them. They thought they are clean and beautiful but not - it's only small thing from outside. If you take it you will look very dirty thing.
So important thing for human being, for believer to be clean. Clean yourself from outside. After inside also it will be clean. To regret, ask forgiveness from Allāh so you will be clean. And you be lover for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla "inna Llāha yuḥibbu t-tawwābīn wa yuḥibbu l-mutaṭahhirīn" (2:222) what meaning: forgiveness. To ask Him: I accept You forgive me and I will be clean. This is cleanness of imān and Islām the religion of, last complete religion of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. If you not like this, you are... if you not going out from water, whole your life you are dirty. Don't think you are be clean and with water and with soap or shampoo. Cleanness - when you be take this dirty of kufur, nonbeliever. When you accept and you are believer you been very clean. Allāh make us clean people all time, in shā’Allāh. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
100.THE BLESSINGS OF RAMADAN Friday, 2 June 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.
Shukr to Allāh, we reached the first Jum‘ah of Ramaḍān. Days are passing by quickly. It's been seven days of Ramaḍān. Last Friday it was not Ramaḍān but the last day of Sha‘bān. And today it is holy Ramaḍān. Our Prophet is saying who fast during Ramaḍān, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla watches them from the first night. He looks with mercy. Every day angels make tawbah for these people who fast. During Ramaḍān, shayṭāns, the bigger shayṭāns, are chained up and thrown into the oceans so that they don't harm the fasting of Muslims. And when Ramaḍān is over, Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla forgives those who have fasted. They will have reached His forgiveness and will be pure. The evil, dirtiness and burdens will be removed from us. And we will reach ‘Īd light and without sins.
This is the virtuous kindness of Allāh. It is the reward He gives in dunyā. And the reward in ākhirah is much higher and much more. To those who are fasting, Allāh gives more peace in dunyā compared to those who don't fast. They get the taste of what they eat. Who don't fast can't even imagine such freshness and peace. And they can't get that taste. Therefore when people are eating, if they digest it for the pleasure of Allāh, that food is ḥalāl for them. It will have benefit and it will give strength. Allāh created us in order for us to know Him, to obey Him and to worship Him. Whatever you do with this awareness, it is accepted in the presence of Allāh.
But if someone doesn't know it and says "What's this fasting? Why fast in such heat?", that means he came to this world for eating and drinking and that is not an acceptable thing. He won't be an accepted creature. Because there are creatures which came for eating and drinking. They are without speech and have no responsibility. Neither did Allāh offer them to pray, nor did He offer them to fast. But they are offered only one thing and they know it very well. They know Allāh. They remember Allāh - the animals, the fourlegged animals. But if the two-legged creature sees no responsibility for himself, then he becomes even worse because he doesn't know Allāh. He doesn't know the Creator. He doesn't remember and never thinks of Allāh. But animals remember Him every moment. They make their dhikr. They eat and drink and wander until their end reaches them. They have no responsibility or accountability.
But mankind is responsible. For the things they don't do Allāh will punish them in ākhirah if they are believers. If they believe in Allāh and Islām, they will be punished in ākhirah and then be sent to jannah. And if they are even worse and lived without belief in Allāh, they will be punished forever. They will neither enter paradise, nor smell it, says our Prophet. We ask that Allāh protect us and guide them. And don't curse. Cursing is not good. Always ask for goodness. For us, a person coming to guidance is thousand times better than his punishment. It is more favourable which is what we want. A Muslim should wish so. If you see, you should ask that Allāh guides and corrects him. And we ask that they take their share of these beauties, in shā’Allāh.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh today we arrived first Jum‘ah from Ramaḍān, Friday. It is our very blessed day for ummati Muḥammad. Allāh grant us this month and these days and months also. And we are, from first day of Ramaḍān Allāh He is looking for believer who are accepting and knowing the Ramaḍān and Ramaḍān worshipping, what you do inside [it], Allāh look for them by His Merciful eyes from first day. So al-ḥamdu liLlāh who are in that position what Allāh is happy with this, he will be happy forever. Because Allāh when He is giving His blessing for somebody He is not taking anymore, He is generous.
So this is good tiding for believer and in Ramaḍān also every day there are angels they are asking forgiveness for fasting people from Allāh. Every day until end of Ramaḍān. And end of Ramaḍān Allāh He forgive us all what we have from bad thing and become clean for ‘Īd, for feast, ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr. We are, we will be, in shā’a Llāh, happy because this dirtiness coming from bad thing we do. but we know or without knowing it is not good and heaviness and darkness and dirtiness. In shā’a Llāh when Ramaḍān finish Allāh take all of this from us.
This happiness Allāh grant us, believer. Because many people they are not fasting and they are thinking they are happy. No they are with, every time they are not doing what Allāh ordering, one more darkness coming on them, one more heaviness coming for them. Every badness coming for them. And this is for human being order from Allāh. And there is many kind of people. Some of them al-ḥamdu liLlāh they are obeying Allāh and doing what He said, what He is order, what Prophet said. They will be reward in this world and other world also. The next world in Jannah it will be real reward. But even in this world also Allāh give them happiness. Give them something nobody can have it, reach it, from people who are not fasting, who are not praying. This taste even material taste also. When somebody fasting and break fast nobody can reach this from anybody from who are not fasting.
For other thing also and other thing we are eating, you can eat, you can drink as much you like but, and do other thing also. But there is thing you must be know - we are doing this not for dunyā, not for happiness of life. No, you must know this. We are eating,
drinking going coming for āhkirah, for Allāh. We doing this not for our pleasure, for pleasure of Allāh. For Allāh He give pleasure here also and after also. But there is people, there is creature, they are coming for this dunyā for only for eating and drinking. This animal, insect, everything Allāh create them for to do this. They are coming, they are quiet, they are not asking anything, not shouting, arguing. Why you are here? What, why you don't give us? Why you are taking? We are not taking. No, they are good. They are only eating drinking and they are dying. But they have no for any responsibility for them. Allāh not order them to pray, not order them to fast, not order them to make zakāt or ḥajj. Only they have one order and they make it perfectly they are making, poor creatures. They are knowing Allāh and they are mentioning His name, dhikr. They have own dhikr, own mention name of Allāh by their think, whole time they are doing this. This order they are doing.
But for human being Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He give orders and who are not doing and they are saying we are also not responsible. There is many kind of people, one of them they are doing, other they are believe in Allāh and but not practicing. This people they will be ask in ākhirah and Allāh will make them to do what they didn't do here. But it take for them long time. Before that and after when they finish this they come to paradise, jannah. But there is one kind they are not accepting even Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And this people they will be for hell forever because they are not accepting.
And, but we are all time asking from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to guide this people to right way. We are not cursing them because to curse it's easy but [it is] better for you to get one for right way, to give them good guidance, better than this world. So every time we are asking Allāh give this people hidāyah, give them to know right way. Allāh make us whole time with people to come to hidāyah, in shā’Allāh. And Allāh bless us for Ramaḍān and many Ramaḍāns, in shā’a Llāh and we are asking also in Jum‘ah time there is time for acceptable duā’ praying. Duā’ accept, in shā’a Llāh, every good thing we are asking especially Mawlānā's saying - ask for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. We are asking, in shā’a Llāh, to come soon to make whole this world clean after this dirtiness, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
101.DON’T BETRAY Saturday, 3 June 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 ordering: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū lā takhūnū Llāha wa rrasūla wa takhūnū amānātikum wa-antum taʿlamūn." (8:27) Don't betray [be false to] Allāh and the Prophet. Don't betray believers, says Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla. Allāh is seeing. Betraying Allāh and betraying the Prophet is mindlessness. Because the traitors are liars. People assume them to be righteous people and they deceive them by betraying. And they do this to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
As it is their habit, they want to betray Allāh too. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla tells not to do this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is warning us. In order not to commit a sin and to not be harmed, He orders us not to betray. Don't consciously betray Allāh, the Prophet and the believers. It can be by ignorance that someone thinks he's doing right and does wrong. But people may do betrayal for personal interest, for some reason or any kind of thing. And Allāh is warning so that their ends are not bad.
Allāh is merciful. Whatever evil there is, Allāh is warning not to do it. People are not listening. People are going according to their minds. The matters addressed by Allāh are very clear. Who ignores them is betraying. And who orders you to do so is also a traitor. His order is not good either, because he's against Allāh's order, it is a betrayal and a wrong way. And for the evil done in awareness, the repentance door is open. And the door of repentance is even more open in Ramaḍān. If there is a wrong-doing someone did knowingly and he repents for it, angels make tawbah for him too. He can become completely clean by the end of Ramaḍān.
Don't believe a person who says differently than Allāh. A man can say things when there is a need in order to save his life. But a person betraying without any need just for his own interest won't get any benefit. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He say in Qur’ān don't, don't, don't betray - first for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, second for Prophet and for believer mu’min. Don't be betray with knowing because who used to betray people, first he can betray believer. Because believer they don't know,
they seeing him as good man, good person but he is a betrayer. For Prophet, Prophet, “Allāh what He said, what He show me I know.” Allāh give him everything for Prophet. Also cannot be betray Prophet. And to betray Allāh Azza wa Jalla, our Lord it is madness, craziness because you cannot hide anything, He know the open and secret.
So for this Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla giving advice for people. O people, don't do this because you cannot betray Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, you cannot cheat Him. He know everything. If you do this Allāh He is not love you. He not like you. He don't want people like you. He love people, honest people. Because betray it is the worst also some attribute from human being. Nobody like it. But for especially for believer and for Prophet and for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. It is completely like suicide. Because you will go to - not paradise. This is sure because you make thing opposite what Allāh order.
All Allāh order merciful and to be honest and to be obey and you only do harming people for your benefit. And this for Allāh for Prophet also, all of them they are merciful and they are door of repentance is open until before qiyāmah. And especially in Ramaḍān angel also asking forgiveness for people. So who they have bad intention, bad attribute like this, if they repent and ask for forgiveness, Allāh forgive them. He is not oppressor for anybody, He is most Merciful.
In shā’Allāh Allāh keep people, give them good understanding and keep them in right way, in shā’Allāh. Allāh save us from bad people in shā’Allāh.

102.GIVE SALĀMS Sunday, 4 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-idhā ḥuyyītum bitaḥiyyatin faḥayyū bi-aḥsana minhā aw ruddūhā." (4:86) The meaning of this āyah: if you are being greeted, or if you are told something like welcome, you should reply even better. You should reply to it. Say something nicer. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is seeing everything. "Inna Llāha kāna ‘alá kulli shay’in ḥasīban."(4:86) Allāh will write it in your book.
People, some people became estranged. They don't get along with people much. When someone enters some place and gives salām, people present there will give salām in return. There will be connection. There will be wellness. People nowadays, when most people go somewhere. For a simple example - they come to the dargāh. The door is open. When they come in, they look around and say salāmun ‘alaykum, someone will say ‘alaykum as-salām, welcome. But when they come quietly, the rest look at them quietly wondering why they didn't give salām. And there will be no connection. There will be estrangement, wildness. Wildness, not in a general meaning, but there will be no relation. There will only be coldness.
So when you enter somewhere, say as-salāmu ‘alaykum wa raḥmatu Llāhi wa barakātuh, then enter. You should ask permission first, then come in. They will ask how you are and say welcome. And you'll give your gratitude. So there will be connection. But people nowadays are weird. They go somewhere in fear and they wait for some attention. You should certainly... It is a beautiful thing shown by Allāh, by our Prophet. You should give salām when you enter a place. People won't eat you. They won't harm you. As long as those being greeted are not your enemies, they will say welcome. They will treat you well.
Therefore, always giving salām is sunnah and replying it is farḍ. There is an order to reply better if they give salām. But there are some Muslim people now, it is a different matter now. You give salām and they pretend not to hear. Why? You are from a different ṭarīqah. You are not from their jamā‘at. They pretend not to hear you. That is worse. They come completely against Allāh's order. They are committing sin.
Therefore, this order is a nice order. It is for your benefit when you go somewhere and you earn thawāb when you give salām. Our Prophet says "Afshu s-salām". Give salām everywhere so that there is connection and love between people and believers.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is saying in āyah if you, somebody greet you, you must answer more greeting for this people who are greeting you. Because making softness for people. People, normally Allāh created them like wild. But when slowly slowly coming together, one saying greeting salām or welcome or something like this, other he will say wa ‘alaykum salām. wa raḥmatu Llāhi wa barakātuhu. So it will be some friend or welcoming to be warm, warm thing in this moment. But without saying anything it is cold and not friendly. Especially between Muslim they must be this.
And there is also somebody coming to other place but mostly when they are coming to dergāh, because our dergāh it is open. They are coming inside, looking like this, do this, and not saying salāmu ‘alaykum or hello or something, just looking, going; like looking looking and going. And there is this not, you are not in the street, you are not in... Even when you, if you going to cafe or to restaurant maybe can do this, no need. Even they you greet the waiter there because they are waiting. Hello you saying. But here when go to dergāh you must from beginning going, knocking door, saying Salāmu ‘alaykum. There is many people sitting there they will be happy to greet you, to welcoming you. And asking how are you and you will be speaking, it will be nice atmosphere for you and for others.
This is what Allāh teaching us. Prophet, through Prophet teaching to make our wildness to be become more human being. Not like wild thing, they are only afraid from everybody. No need to afraid. If you afraid only from enemy. Enemy not accepting you, not saying welcoming you. But when you are doing to any place, especially for dergāh, we say you must greet and say. Because who coming from outside must greet inside. He is going coming walking must greet the sitting one. Who is coming from outside. But if you are in road you can make first the sitting one. Who is coming from outside. But if you are in road you can make first.
And it is to make salām one good attribute from Prophet what which we saying sunnah. But to accept and to reply it is obligatory because order from Allāh. If you are, somebody greet you, must greet him and make him more pleasure for him. This for whole people, for Muslim, for non-Muslim. So also make you when greet some human being when he come to you, he will be happy. This is our way. Most of people they are greeting even in the street. But we must be teach them for this. Because many time we go through them, if you not saying anything they are not talking for you. But once, once, twice, they will be happy to replying you. But there is also some kind of people, they are claiming they are Muslim, they are not answering when greet, when you greet them salām they making themselves they are not hearing. But they are hearing why they not? Because you are not
in their way. You are, your way another way. Your Jamā‘ah from other. This also Allāh will punish them because they are coming against order of Allāh. Not listening. When say, who, however who saying for you salām you must reply, not saying this one he is from our people or from other people or ... No you cannot look and reply for this kind. When somebody greet you, you must reply and Allāh will reward you, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh make us to be polite people. Polite people they are good people. Politeness - way of Prophet. He was most polite one. "wa law kunta faẓẓan ghaliyẓa l-qalbi la-anfaḍḍū min ḥāwlika" (3:159) If you are tough and your heart is hard this people they will be run from you. This Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying. So he was very polite, Prophet and teaching us to be polite, to be respectful and to be good people, not wild and tough people.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
103.OTTOMAN ISLĀM IS REAL ISLĀM Monday, 5 June 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.
Today is the 5th of June, Monday. Exactly 50 years ago, on Monday, the 5th of June, we remember that time very well. We were 10 years old in Damascus then. We looked, bombs were blasting. That was the war. The war between Israel and Arabs. The Jews took over everything in five hours. They didn't leave anything. We looked on the second day, thousands of refugees were running away. They were sleeping in tents. 50 years before that in 1917, they exiled the Ottomans - The Arabs united with the British, French, unbelievers and fought against the Ottomans. "We want our own government". And they: The Ottoman government was one government. They divided it into 40 governments. 22 of them were Arab governments. And they put Israel there too. It attacked them from time to time and does what it wants.
That day, we remember it later, those were people against Allāh - all of them except Jordan were communists, people not believing in Allāh. There was a man called ‘Abdu lNāṣir in Egypt. In Syria, the Ba‘ath Party, they became so proud against Muslims and against Allāh that there came a fist from Allāh. In 6 hours Israel didn't leave anything for them. They took Quds, they took Sinai, they took Golan and have not given it back until now. In one day, in 6 hours. They say it was a 6-day war. In fact, 6 hours. They finished everything in 6 hours. Wisdom of Allāh.
I remember that today. Exactly 50 years ago, on Monday the 5th of June. Why are we remembering it? Ḥajjah Anne used to make dhikr and sohbet on Mondays. It was right during dhikr, in the afternoon around this time. It started suddenly with bombs from antiaircraft. We went outside to check what was going on. We got scared. Then we realized Allāh was hitting people who were not on His way. He was giving them a lesson because they said they didn't want Islām. "We are Ba‘ath" - Ba‘ath meaning Arabs. They wanted to revive the old Arabs. "Ba‘thu ba‘da l-mawt." (resurrection after death). They wanted to bring back the Ba‘ath Arabs. Allāh sent them such a fist, they couldn't come to their senses till now. It is still going on the same way. The Islamic world is just an entertainment for kāfir. Islāmis neither with Wahhābi nor with Shī‘ah. Let us make this clear. Islām is with people on the way of our Prophet in shā’Allāh. When Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām comes, he will put everyone in order. Only he will make the whole world
Muslim. And the time is near, with permission of Allāh. Because in 1967, all the leaders were unbelievers - socialists, communists, ba'ath. The majority were people swearing and cursing Allāh. They would do such a swearing and cursing that you can't say it to people. And they were saying against Allāh. But Allāh gave them their lesson. They are living as Muslims now, but as they are not on the right way. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave this trouble to them so they return to Allāh's way. But instead, they are losing their way completely. They must make tawbah and return to the way.
But since the Ottomans, for exactly 100 years, the Ottomans were withdrawn in 1917, they didn't have any goodness. All the time they have had troubles, sufferings, wars, poverty, all kinds of misery after the Ottomans. It is exactly 100 years since the Ottomans. In shā’a Llāh, people now are missing the Ottomans. Because the Ottomans were helpful to the whole world, not only Muslims but also kāfir. All these kāfir countries with British on top, Germans, French, Italians, Russians, Chinese, how many kāfir countries there were, they said "We will finish Islām and relax". You relax when there is Islām. If not, you cannot relax too.
The true Islām is Islām on the way of our Prophet. The rest have lost their ways. All of them are following their mind productions. In shā’a Llāh, may these Ottomans appear soon, may Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām come soon. In shā’a Llāh, we will have peace then. Otherwise, as Mawlānā used to say, every day is worse than the next. Every day is worse than the other. In 1967, there was still some barakah but now every day is worse and going into darkness because people are not using their minds. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will raise His religion. "Wa-Llāhu mutimmu nūrihi walaw kariha l-kāfirūn." (61:8) Allāh will complete His light even if kāfir don't like it. Allāh will help Himself. As long as He wants, no one can stand against Him. There is Allāh. Even if whole world comes against, Allāh will do what He wants.
Today it is 5th of June. It is also Monday. I was thinking from two, three days every 5th of June I have some remembrance from old time. But this time, before fifty years ago, and it was also Monday and same time like this time. I was ten year old child. Suddenly I was in the house this Monday, Hajji Anne she was making ṣuḥbah and dhikr for ladies. And suddenly we hear explosions many. And we afraid. What happen, what is this? First we thought maybe they are blowing from mountain to open. After and quickly everywhere and after we look for sky it was for firing against airplane. Enemy airplane they was attacking Damascus, Syria. So it was making this and so I was a child. But was very afraid from this what happen. First time because before we more smaller I was, they also fighting but this is what I remember very clearly and it is now fifty year from that day.
Before fifty year also from that day now - meaning 100 years ago, this people they was ruling by Ottoman and by Khalīfatu l-Islām, successor of Prophet who is head of Islām.
And they must obey him. This people they cheated by non-believer, by their enemy, the friend of shayṭān. They say for them, "O Arab why you are following this Ottoman? You have everything, you must be, you have your country, you must rule this country by yourself." And they was cheated really. And they was throw out Ottoman. They killed hundred thousand of Ottoman army and they was coming back to their only Anatolia. Because whole this area also belong to Ottoman, for Khalīfah. Who fight against Khalīfah, Allāh will ask him what for what he done. But Allāh make this people - from one country, Ottoman country, this people, enemy of Islām, they make 40 country, 22 of them Arab.
They said we are Arab. Why you do 22 country? If you are Arab, one country it's ok for you. No because this fox non-believer they must divide them to small small country to be easy for control them and easy to fight them, if anything happen. And they was cheating and this is what happen in before fifty year, 5th of June. Israel was attacking Syria, Jordan, Egypt. And Israel they take land double of their land, from first nineteen year ago, they take double. If they was one they make three times bigger. And this people they was ruler of Egypt and Syria. Only Jordan they was Ahlu l-Bayt. And they was poor because they are, they don't have anything. But they obligatory to attack them and they finish them also.
But the worst there was Syria and Egypt because they was following communist and nationalist. Egypt he ban everything from Islām. Syria also they have this Ba‘ath regime. This Ba‘ath regime they are not accepting anything from Islām. They said we are Arab, we are from before Islām. No need for us for Islām. We are Arab and we are coming before Islām, [when] there is no Islām. We are from this people. And they was making for, make people army to be, they thought to make them more stronger, they bring singer dancer before one week going around the army to make them motivated. Motivate this people and after one week Israel - they said six days, no only six hour - they was finish everything. This slapping from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. But still they are not waking up. Still following shayṭān and his follower.
Now hundred year since Ottoman finish it is everything is getting worse. Getting worse, getting worse. And Ottoman it was good for whole human being. Not only for whole humanity, for this English, French, German, Russian, all of them they was getting benefit from Ottoman. But they thought, because they are army of shayṭān, if we finish this it will be everything for us. They are coming worse and worse for all of human being. Muslim, nonMuslim it is coming like this. What we must do? We must ask Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to send us real Islām. Real Islām - the Ottoman Islām. Who they are with weak and with [them] they are merciful. And Shī‘ah not good. Wahhābī also not good, they are extreme these two. We are saying openly. We are not afraid from anybody. We must say the truth because the most of this trouble coming from this two part and this part, two part, they have their teacher from shayṭān. This country they give them, supporting
them they are non-Muslim country. Because never they are not fighting with, all time fighting with Muslim. Not fighting with non-Muslim. And they make big theatre but many people, most of people they understand this. Even in their country also they understanding this but they cannot do anything now.
But Allāh He said "Wa-Llāhu mutimmu nūrihi walaw kariha l-kāfirūn." (61:8) Allāh He will complete His light. What light? Islām. And it will be for whole world, in shā’a Llāh, when Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām coming. No need for us to fight. We are now waiting, waiting Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. When he come, he know what he will do. In shā’a Llāh we are hope it is near. We are hope very very near because everything it's very bad. Nothing good except who are in right way, in shā’a Llāh. O Wahhābī, O Shī‘ah come to right way. Don't be follow your idea what - not Prophet, not even - openly denying Qur’ān, denying word of Prophet. Follow them. Follow this and to be safe here and hereafter.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
104.ASK ONLY FROM ALLĀH Tuesday, 6 June 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.

It says: al-mas’ala li-ghayri Llāh madhallah To ask from other than Allāh is debasing. Whatever you ask for, ask from Allāh. It becomes difficult for people to give as much as they want to. It's not easy to give. That's why these people go to the man saying he's rich, we go and ask from him, They come back without taking anything. Don't go in that direction the Prophet is saying. Don't ask from people, ask from Allāh. If you ask from Allāh. Allā

s Affairs (Diyanet) is whom we follow because they are the Ulul Amr (those ruling). They are calculating it as Ru’ya and Saturday is the first of Ramadan according to Ru’ya. We will start Tarawih tomorrow night. The month of Ramadan is a holy month and a beautiful month. Everybody recognizes the beauty of this month. So it is not only material but what is essential is the spiritual life.
There are beautiful times and beautiful months of Allah. And the most beautiful of them is the month of Ramadan. “The month of my Nation,” says our Holy Prophet. Rajab and Shaban are also beautiful, but Allah made this month more beautiful because it is the month of the Nation. He made it especially more beautiful so we may take more pleasure, become happier, and get our spiritual food. The sultan of 11 months is the month of Ramadan.
May it be blessed (mubarak) and may it be good Inshallah. May it pass with abundance (fayd) and baraka Inshallah. Fasting during the day and Tarawih, night prayers, and sahur at night: it is all baraka and beauty. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He has many material and spiritual gifts for those who pay attention to and show respect to this month. Yet there are poor people: Ramadan comes and goes and they have no idea. They are poor people. They are poor people because they do not get their share of this beautiful month and of this beauty. No fasting, no prayer (namaz), and no supplication. They should be called those who have no idea what is going on because the world is not [just] a place to puff away and eat food all day long like four-legged creatures. They are only satisfying their stomachs. As we said, four-legged creatures do the same thing too. Allah created humans as higher and gave them His commands. Those who follow these commands rise, and of course those who do not, as we said, are poor people since they
did not receive a share and they have no kismet. There is no need to emulate them when you see them. A person on this way does not emulate them anyway. As we said, we need to feel sorry for them for not receiving their share of this beauty. We are saying, “May Allah give them guidance too.”
May Allah not deviate us from the right path. May we not follow our ego Inshallah. May it pass with goodness, with baraka, and with beauty Inshallah. May it be safe and sound for this country and for the Islamic world Inshallah. May dissensions (fitnas) stop. May this trouble be lifted from the Nation of Muhammad, the whole Islamic world. May wars and fighting stop from now on InshaAllah so we may hereby reach peace InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
97.ISLAM IS THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS Tuesday, 30 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."Fa man yuridi Llāhu an yahdiyahu yashraḥ ṣadrahu lil-Islām Wa man yurid an yuḍillahu yajʿal ṣadrahu ḍayyiqan ḥarajan ka-annamā yaṣṣa‘‘adu fī s- samā’i" (6:125) When Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla wants goodness for a person, He makes him love Islām. He finds peace in Islām and becomes happy. Together with that favour Allāh gives happiness and peace. With that peace, people around him feel at peace too. They feel themselves in comfort. But when He wishes evil for a person he's given pressure, he's given troubles. And when he hears the name of Islām, he feels even worse.
Indeed, those who are not honored with Islām, those who don't follow Islām, are always in troubles, in pressure, sadness and stress. But the true believer is at peace. He has a good life. Life can be good with or without money. As long as Allāh wishes, the one gaining the pleasure of Allāh is in peace. Ilāhī anta maṭlūbī wa riḍāka maqṣūdī. "Allāh, You are my goal. My aim is to reach You. And Your pleasure is what I ask for." We say "May Allāh be pleased" very often. They say it's the manner of speaking. People don't realize that it is a very big station, a very big favour, the pleasure of Allāh. A man gaining the pleasure of Allāh reaches everything.
May Allāh be pleased with all of us, in shā’Allāh. May we always be at peace. May we be at peace, in shā’Allāh and always be in guidance so that this peace lasts forever. May there not be pressure. May we never be troubled for dunyā. May all our problems be the pleasure of Allāh, how we can make Allāh pleased, in shā’Allāh. The pleasure of Allāh. As long as He wants, we will be happy inside and have reached His pleasure, in shā’a Llāh. Nevertheless, people in other conditions are by the decree of Allāh. If Allāh wishes, they'll be granted too. Therefore, don't trust your ego much and don't blame others. Always seek refuge in Allāh.
Don't forget Allāh so that this favour lasts forever. With shukr favours last. Most people fear that they may lose it. If you make shukr, you won't lose. The promise of Allāh and the Prophet is that favours last with shukr. The biggest favour is Allāh's pleasure. Therefore, shukr for our conditions and situations, hundred thousand shukr, in shā’a
Llāh. May this favour last for us, our brothers and ummati Muḥammad, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān He what when He want for somebody hidāyah (guidance) his heart is open. It is coming happiness from his heart for hidāyah of Allāh or Islām and Allāh opening for him Islām. Islām it is secret of happiness. Nobody can change this because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is our Creator. and He said, when He want somebody to be happy and his heart to be open, Allāh give him hidāyah, right way. Right way it is Islām. The most beautiful way the most perfect system for human being, for human being and for jinn also. Because there is another creature also. All this they are following Prophet accepting Prophet when they are mentioned in Qur’ān.
So who will be, Allāh want him to be happy, He open way for him to reach to this happy way. Other, who want them to be miserable make them when they are hearing name of Islām to be afraid, to be become not happiness, miseries for them. But also if they are, if you without hearing this name, they are also not happy because real happiness is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying for Islām. "wa man yurid an yuḍillahu yaj‘al ṣadrahu ḍayyiqan" (6:125) He is making his heart very tight and very narrow and feeling as his breath finish. It is thing Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, He is our Creator, His description He is our situation, human being situation, and giving address for people for happiness.
Happiness not in philosophy. Happiness not in lie. Happiness not in this system of human being every time they are changing. No only system can be happy but Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He put perfect, it is system for each very small thing - even saying about what you can do, what you cannot do. So Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is, give this favour for us. We must be happy. And you must be thankful. Because this is from Allāh and He can every time change it. But we are afraid to change it. But there is also good tiding. He is saying, if you are thankful, Allāh give you more and make it continuous, not cutting. Wa bi sh-shukru tadūmu n-ni‘am By thanking favour is continue, not cutting. This is His promise also. So every time we must be thankful for Him to not be make us like others, to take us from this way, way of His pleasure. It is the most important thing for our life, for human being.
Because main aim for us to find pleasure for Allāh and to reach to Him. This is our aim. And, in shā’a Llāh, He is opening way. And He happy with people who are thanking for Him. And He promised to make it more and more, in shā’Allāh. Alḥamdu liLlāh this is good tiding from Allāh for all of us. Allāh keep this favour for whole of human being and give them hidāyah also, in shā’Allāh.

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem."Yā banī ādama khudhū zin̄ atakum ʿinda kulli masjidin wa kulū wa-ishrabū walā tusrifūinnaHu lā yuḥibbu l- musrifin̄ ." (7:31) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling people when you go to a mosque, enter it with a good and proper appearance. Eat and drink from what is ḥalāl. Ḥalāl is one of the best orders of Islām. Eating ḥalal, drinking ḥalāl strengthens people's faith. It brings health to the body. And shayṭān doesn't want it. He says don't eat ḥalāl.
Now at the end of times, they are bringing up every means to try to prevent ḥalāl. That is a different matter. The matter is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla orders not to waste. Eat and drink from ḥalāl, of course, but don't waste. Allāh doesn't love those who waste. We are Muslim, shukr to Alla . We pray five times, shukr to Allāh. What is wasting? Wasting... Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla says eat and drink. Eat and drink as much as you want. You should do it with the intention that it will give you strength and help you in your worship. That is not wasting. You can eat as much as you can. There is no prohibition in that. Wasting is when you eat one bite and throw the rest away. That is wasting.
What you don't eat, you can give to the poor. It will be thawāb (reward) for you and not be a waste. If there are no poor people, you still shouldn't throw it away. You can feed the animals. It will be written as ṣadaqāh (charity). You'll be rewarded. But throwing away doesn't suit Muslims. Muslims have developed such habits that when guests come, especially when people in Saudi Arabia invite guests, they always put a sheep there filled with rice. A man takes one or two bites of it. Then how much can he eat? He can't eat. But that's just showing off and wasting. And [for them] it is shameful to give it to the poor. They must show it was offered for the guests and throw it in the garbage so that people see it and say someone had a guest and he offered this. These are Muslims, people
who pray five times a day but this means they are people whom Alla people loved by Allāh don't waste.
doesn't love, as
As we said, eat as much as you can and give the rest to the poor so that Allāh writes rewards for you, so that you are among the people loved by Alla . But otherwise, you can know the Qur’ān if you want or pray all the time, you won't be loved by Allāh. You
will have wasted and thrown the favours away. It is not shameful to finish the food on the plate. That's a shame next to shayṭān. We went to some place last year. They were Muslim too.
They always leave some food on their plates so that it's not embarrassing. That is embarrassing for shayṭān. Shayṭa is embarrassing them that they eat everything. But Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla says to clean the plate and not to waste. We should pay attention to this because shayṭān comes from unexpected doors to Muslims.
May Allāh make us among the loved and loving ones. May He not let us waste, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying "O human being when you go to mosque or to praying place be handsome or to be good wearing, putting clothes on yourself." Don't go with clothes from work but if you are near work you can do this but not from your house. If you will go be look for yourself. Not like going to for dinner but also you must be clean, you must be good. Because you are going in front of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, you must be respect. And He said: "kulū wa-ishrabū walatusrifū" (7:31) Eat and drink. No anything - only in Ramaḍān when you are fasting you cannot eat but after eat and drink. But be careful to be ḥalāl. Because these days everything shayṭān and his followers trying to make everything ḥaram.
Now our, there is many Muslim brothers, Muslim organisation or Muslim countries they
put ḥalāl in label, ḥalāl. I said for but shayṭa because people they will run but with ḥalal̄
he is more clever not putting ḥarām for his even they are cheating people. Many people
they put not ḥalāl. But it is for this people who cheating people, they will be asked. Because Muslim only he will said we find ḥalāl and we eat. And ḥalal̄ also to eat not to cheat people, take their money and eat [with it]. This is also ḥarām also must be ḥalāl and drink ḥalāl.
This is ok. Allāh permit for this. But He said, don't waste. He not like the people who are waste. musrif israf̄ , musrif. Wasting people wasteful people. There is in Muslim country you can eat as much, you can eat ok you eat. Say bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm and eat, drink, as much you can. Your intention, you make this for power for your body to make ‘ibādah, to obey Allāh's order.
You must be strong, ok. This is, He said eat and drink. But what He said? Don't waste. Not Allāh not like wasteful people. Now people taking thing eating and throwing what left in garbage. This is waste. If you can eat, eat. You cannot eat, maybe you can give for poor people - this also not waste. Even you will [be] rewarded for this. If too much there is no also, you cannot find poor people, put this food what you left, for animal. Allāh also
reward you because there is no tongue for them and you feed them. You be big reward for you.
But Muslim, especially shayṭān cheat them by customs. Muslims they are praying five times a day, fasting, doing Ḥajj, zaka everything but they have custom. What this custom? If you invite some people you must make big food. And after what left, you must not give to poor people just to throw in garbage. Especially in Arab country - not this poor Arab country, the petrol Arab country. We see many. and they are same, they are telling us. He said, "if any guest come we must buy sheep in oven and they full inside rice and you can eat as much you can eat. After what you will do? You must throw it in garbage, dustbin. If you give for people it is very shame for us. Our custom it is not allowed us to do this. Not allowed to give anything for from what left from guest or from ourself. You must throw it in garbage." This is people, this people Allāh not like them. "innaHu lā yuḥibbu l-musrifīn" (7:31) He not like this wasteful people.
Last year also I was in one Muslim country and after they eating food everybody they have in his their dish there is some, they left something. They say, if we don't left this, it is shame for us, shameful. We cannot, we must leave something to say this people they are not poor people. They eat and they left something. This is shayṭān's trick because Muslim he must clean - in Turkish we say 'sunnet', yani sunnah of Prophet - meaning you must be your dish very clean, not leave anything inside. But this how they understand we don't know. It is isrāf, making poorness for people also. And they worse than poorness, to be not loved by Allāh. Allāh He love people who are not wasteful.
In shā’a Llāh, be careful. Mawlānā he was very careful for this, for israf̄ . Many time looking for dustbin, for garbage, to not waste anything. It is big lesson for ourself and for human being. Don't be ashamed from thing Allāh make it ḥalāl. We ashamed of something ḥara . Allāh give us good understanding, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
99.ĪMĀN IS CLEANLINESS Thursday, 1 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is ordering. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem."Wa thiyābaka faṭahhir wa r-rujza fa-hjur." (74:4,5) "Inna Llāha yuḥibbu t-tawābīna wa yuḥibbu l-mutaṭahhirīn."(2:222) Allāh loves cleanliness and those who repent. He orders to keep your clothes clean. Make them clean. Cleanliness is from īmān. Cleanliness is an important thing. The main important thing in Islām is cleanliness. If you are not clean, no worship will be accepted. Prayers won't be accepted, ḥajj won't be accepted. It is required for the worship. And it is one of the beautiful orders of Islām.
Cleanliness is an order for Muslims. They should keep it. We should be careful about it. But unfortunately, there is no cleanliness. And dirtiness is from shayṭān. Dirt is from shayṭān. Kufr is dirtiness. They are swimming in dirt. What we mean by dirt is not only the clothes, you have to clean your inside too. We make tawbah (repentance) to Allāh. When you make tawbah, you clean yourself. Allāh loves those who make tawbah and cleanse, those who keep themselves clean from outside and from inside. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla said unbelievers should not come to Makkah and Madīnah after that year. After the year of the conquest they were given a four months extension. Then He said they were dirty.
Dirtiness can be physical and a person who doesn't believe becomes dirty too. He is dirty. There's no reason to imitate him. Our ignorant Muslims sometimes imitate the foreigners. Their outside is merely a shell. And they can't even keep their shells clean. There are all kinds of dirtiness. And inside, they are dirty completely. Therefore, first we should start with the outside cleanliness so that our worship is accepted and so the inside is cleaned. And if you don't clean from outside, your worship won't be accepted. If it's not accepted, it is useless.
Cleanliness is from īmān. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla said this. And being clean suits us, in shā’a Llāh. Clean not only yourself, but also around you. If you don't throw garbage in the street, the street will be clean. You throw, they throw, everyone throws. And it's dirty. Neither streets, nor the country is clean. Everywhere is dirty. Whereas
there is a simple way for it. There would be no need for the cleaners then. If only people were on the way loved by Allāh.
May Allāh make all of us from the clean ones. May dirtiness be far away from us. May the dirtiness of kufr and shayṭān stay far from us, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said, Allāh "inna Llāha yuḥibbu t-tawwābīn wa yuḥibbu l- mutaṭahhirīn" (2:222) "wa thiyābaka fa-ṭahhir wa r-rujza fa-hjur" (74:4-5) This Āyah, many Āyah in Qur’ān-i Karīm, showing us and ordering to be clean. Cleanness it is very important thing in Islām. Only in Islām they are looking for cleaning, cleanness. No any another religion looking for cleanness. You can, you cannot do without washing yourself, no ‘ibādah. After washing yourself, if you don't take every day ablution, wuḍū’, also no ‘ibādah for you. This giving cleanness for you beginning from outside coming to inner side cleaning, spiritual cleaning.
First you must clean after you be in spiritual also clean because imān it is cleanness. Imān - Allāh like, love people who are clean people from outside to inside. But shayṭān he not like this. In opposite he like every dirty thing. Every dirty thing only shayṭān and his followers like and love it because who following shayṭān not accepting Allāh. Allāh say for them, this is dirty people. Dirty, dirtiness with non-believer. Allāh say, don't let them come to My house, Ka‘bah Makkah. For Madinah also for Prophet place don't let them. This people who are not believer they are dirty. They are not acceptable in divinely presence. Maybe in world, people they are happy to see them and love them. They thought they are clean and beautiful but not - it's only small thing from outside. If you take it you will look very dirty thing.
So important thing for human being, for believer to be clean. Clean yourself from outside. After inside also it will be clean. To regret, ask forgiveness from Allāh so you will be clean. And you be lover for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla "inna Llāha yuḥibbu t-tawwābīn wa yuḥibbu l-mutaṭahhirīn" (2:222) what meaning: forgiveness. To ask Him: I accept You forgive me and I will be clean. This is cleanness of imān and Islām the religion of, last complete religion of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. If you not like this, you are... if you not going out from water, whole your life you are dirty. Don't think you are be clean and with water and with soap or shampoo. Cleanness - when you be take this dirty of kufur, nonbeliever. When you accept and you are believer you been very clean. Allāh make us clean people all time, in shā’Allāh. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
100.THE BLESSINGS OF RAMADAN Friday, 2 June 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.
Shukr to Allāh, we reached the first Jum‘ah of Ramaḍān. Days are passing by quickly. It's been seven days of Ramaḍān. Last Friday it was not Ramaḍān but the last day of Sha‘bān. And today it is holy Ramaḍān. Our Prophet is saying who fast during Ramaḍān, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla watches them from the first night. He looks with mercy. Every day angels make tawbah for these people who fast. During Ramaḍān, shayṭāns, the bigger shayṭāns, are chained up and thrown into the oceans so that they don't harm the fasting of Muslims. And when Ramaḍān is over, Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla forgives those who have fasted. They will have reached His forgiveness and will be pure. The evil, dirtiness and burdens will be removed from us. And we will reach ‘Īd light and without sins.
This is the virtuous kindness of Allāh. It is the reward He gives in dunyā. And the reward in ākhirah is much higher and much more. To those who are fasting, Allāh gives more peace in dunyā compared to those who don't fast. They get the taste of what they eat. Who don't fast can't even imagine such freshness and peace. And they can't get that taste. Therefore when people are eating, if they digest it for the pleasure of Allāh, that food is ḥalāl for them. It will have benefit and it will give strength. Allāh created us in order for us to know Him, to obey Him and to worship Him. Whatever you do with this awareness, it is accepted in the presence of Allāh.
But if someone doesn't know it and says "What's this fasting? Why fast in such heat?", that means he came to this world for eating and drinking and that is not an acceptable thing. He won't be an accepted creature. Because there are creatures which came for eating and drinking. They are without speech and have no responsibility. Neither did Allāh offer them to pray, nor did He offer them to fast. But they are offered only one thing and they know it very well. They know Allāh. They remember Allāh - the animals, the fourlegged animals. But if the two-legged creature sees no responsibility for himself, then he becomes even worse because he doesn't know Allāh. He doesn't know the Creator. He doesn't remember and never thinks of Allāh. But animals remember Him every moment. They make their dhikr. They eat and drink and wander until their end reaches them. They have no responsibility or accountability.
But mankind is responsible. For the things they don't do Allāh will punish them in ākhirah if they are believers. If they believe in Allāh and Islām, they will be punished in ākhirah and then be sent to jannah. And if they are even worse and lived without belief in Allāh, they will be punished forever. They will neither enter paradise, nor smell it, says our Prophet. We ask that Allāh protect us and guide them. And don't curse. Cursing is not good. Always ask for goodness. For us, a person coming to guidance is thousand times better than his punishment. It is more favourable which is what we want. A Muslim should wish so. If you see, you should ask that Allāh guides and corrects him. And we ask that they take their share of these beauties, in shā’Allāh.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh today we arrived first Jum‘ah from Ramaḍān, Friday. It is our very blessed day for ummati Muḥammad. Allāh grant us this month and these days and months also. And we are, from first day of Ramaḍān Allāh He is looking for believer who are accepting and knowing the Ramaḍān and Ramaḍān worshipping, what you do inside [it], Allāh look for them by His Merciful eyes from first day. So al-ḥamdu liLlāh who are in that position what Allāh is happy with this, he will be happy forever. Because Allāh when He is giving His blessing for somebody He is not taking anymore, He is generous.
So this is good tiding for believer and in Ramaḍān also every day there are angels they are asking forgiveness for fasting people from Allāh. Every day until end of Ramaḍān. And end of Ramaḍān Allāh He forgive us all what we have from bad thing and become clean for ‘Īd, for feast, ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr. We are, we will be, in shā’a Llāh, happy because this dirtiness coming from bad thing we do. but we know or without knowing it is not good and heaviness and darkness and dirtiness. In shā’a Llāh when Ramaḍān finish Allāh take all of this from us.
This happiness Allāh grant us, believer. Because many people they are not fasting and they are thinking they are happy. No they are with, every time they are not doing what Allāh ordering, one more darkness coming on them, one more heaviness coming for them. Every badness coming for them. And this is for human being order from Allāh. And there is many kind of people. Some of them al-ḥamdu liLlāh they are obeying Allāh and doing what He said, what He is order, what Prophet said. They will be reward in this world and other world also. The next world in Jannah it will be real reward. But even in this world also Allāh give them happiness. Give them something nobody can have it, reach it, from people who are not fasting, who are not praying. This taste even material taste also. When somebody fasting and break fast nobody can reach this from anybody from who are not fasting.
For other thing also and other thing we are eating, you can eat, you can drink as much you like but, and do other thing also. But there is thing you must be know - we are doing this not for dunyā, not for happiness of life. No, you must know this. We are eating,
drinking going coming for āhkirah, for Allāh. We doing this not for our pleasure, for pleasure of Allāh. For Allāh He give pleasure here also and after also. But there is people, there is creature, they are coming for this dunyā for only for eating and drinking. This animal, insect, everything Allāh create them for to do this. They are coming, they are quiet, they are not asking anything, not shouting, arguing. Why you are here? What, why you don't give us? Why you are taking? We are not taking. No, they are good. They are only eating drinking and they are dying. But they have no for any responsibility for them. Allāh not order them to pray, not order them to fast, not order them to make zakāt or ḥajj. Only they have one order and they make it perfectly they are making, poor creatures. They are knowing Allāh and they are mentioning His name, dhikr. They have own dhikr, own mention name of Allāh by their think, whole time they are doing this. This order they are doing.
But for human being Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He give orders and who are not doing and they are saying we are also not responsible. There is many kind of people, one of them they are doing, other they are believe in Allāh and but not practicing. This people they will be ask in ākhirah and Allāh will make them to do what they didn't do here. But it take for them long time. Before that and after when they finish this they come to paradise, jannah. But there is one kind they are not accepting even Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And this people they will be for hell forever because they are not accepting.
And, but we are all time asking from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to guide this people to right way. We are not cursing them because to curse it's easy but [it is] better for you to get one for right way, to give them good guidance, better than this world. So every time we are asking Allāh give this people hidāyah, give them to know right way. Allāh make us whole time with people to come to hidāyah, in shā’Allāh. And Allāh bless us for Ramaḍān and many Ramaḍāns, in shā’a Llāh and we are asking also in Jum‘ah time there is time for acceptable duā’ praying. Duā’ accept, in shā’a Llāh, every good thing we are asking especially Mawlānā's saying - ask for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. We are asking, in shā’a Llāh, to come soon to make whole this world clean after this dirtiness, in shā’Allāh.

101.DON’T BETRAY Saturday, 3 June 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 ordering: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū lā takhūnū Llāha wa rrasūla wa takhūnū amānātikum wa-antum taʿlamūn." (8:27) Don't betray [be false to] Allāh and the Prophet. Don't betray believers, says Allāh 'Azza wa Jalla. Allāh is seeing. Betraying Allāh and betraying the Prophet is mindlessness. Because the traitors are liars. People assume them to be righteous people and they deceive them by betraying. And they do this to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
As it is their habit, they want to betray Allāh too. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla tells not to do this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is warning us. In order not to commit a sin and to not be harmed, He orders us not to betray. Don't consciously betray Allāh, the Prophet and the believers. It can be by ignorance that someone thinks he's doing right and does wrong. But people may do betrayal for personal interest, for some reason or any kind of thing. And Allāh is warning so that their ends are not bad.
Allāh is merciful. Whatever evil there is, Allāh is warning not to do it. People are not listening. People are going according to their minds. The matters addressed by Allāh are very clear. Who ignores them is betraying. And who orders you to do so is also a traitor. His order is not good either, because he's against Allāh's order, it is a betrayal and a wrong way. And for the evil done in awareness, the repentance door is open. And the door of repentance is even more open in Ramaḍān. If there is a wrong-doing someone did knowingly and he repents for it, angels make tawbah for him too. He can become completely clean by the end of Ramaḍān.
Don't believe a person who says differently than Allāh. A man can say things when there is a need in order to save his life. But a person betraying without any need just for his own interest won't get any benefit. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He say in Qur’ān don't, don't, don't betray - first for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, second for Prophet and for believer mu’min. Don't be betray with knowing because who used to betray people, first he can betray believer. Because believer they don't know,
they seeing him as good man, good person but he is a betrayer. For Prophet, Prophet, “Allāh what He said, what He show me I know.” Allāh give him everything for Prophet. Also cannot be betray Prophet. And to betray Allāh Azza wa Jalla, our Lord it is madness, craziness because you cannot hide anything, He know the open and secret.
So for this Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla giving advice for people. O people, don't do this because you cannot betray Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, you cannot cheat Him. He know everything. If you do this Allāh He is not love you. He not like you. He don't want people like you. He love people, honest people. Because betray it is the worst also some attribute from human being. Nobody like it. But for especially for believer and for Prophet and for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. It is completely like suicide. Because you will go to - not paradise. This is sure because you make thing opposite what Allāh order.
All Allāh order merciful and to be honest and to be obey and you only do harming people for your benefit. And this for Allāh for Prophet also, all of them they are merciful and they are door of repentance is open until before qiyāmah. And especially in Ramaḍān angel also asking forgiveness for people. So who they have bad intention, bad attribute like this, if they repent and ask for forgiveness, Allāh forgive them. He is not oppressor for anybody, He is most Merciful.
In shā’Allāh Allāh keep people, give them good understanding and keep them in right way, in shā’Allāh. Allāh save us from bad people in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
102.GIVE SALĀMS Sunday, 4 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-idhā ḥuyyītum bitaḥiyyatin faḥayyū bi-aḥsana minhā aw ruddūhā." (4:86) The meaning of this āyah: if you are being greeted, or if you are told something like welcome, you should reply even better. You should reply to it. Say something nicer. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is seeing everything. "Inna Llāha kāna ‘alá kulli shay’in ḥasīban."(4:86) Allāh will write it in your book.
People, some people became estranged. They don't get along with people much. When someone enters some place and gives salām, people present there will give salām in return. There will be connection. There will be wellness. People nowadays, when most people go somewhere. For a simple example - they come to the dargāh. The door is open. When they come in, they look around and say salāmun ‘alaykum, someone will say ‘alaykum as-salām, welcome. But when they come quietly, the rest look at them quietly wondering why they didn't give salām. And there will be no connection. There will be estrangement, wildness. Wildness, not in a general meaning, but there will be no relation. There will only be coldness.
So when you enter somewhere, say as-salāmu ‘alaykum wa raḥmatu Llāhi wa barakātuh, then enter. You should ask permission first, then come in. They will ask how you are and say welcome. And you'll give your gratitude. So there will be connection. But people nowadays are weird. They go somewhere in fear and they wait for some attention. You should certainly... It is a beautiful thing shown by Allāh, by our Prophet. You should give salām when you enter a place. People won't eat you. They won't harm you. As long as those being greeted are not your enemies, they will say welcome. They will treat you well.
Therefore, always giving salām is sunnah and replying it is farḍ. There is an order to reply better if they give salām. But there are some Muslim people now, it is a different matter now. You give salām and they pretend not to hear. Why? You are from a different ṭarīqah. You are not from their jamā‘at. They pretend not to hear you. That is worse. They come completely against Allāh's order. They are committing sin.
Therefore, this order is a nice order. It is for your benefit when you go somewhere and you earn thawāb when you give salām. Our Prophet says "Afshu s-salām". Give salām everywhere so that there is connection and love between people and believers.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is saying in āyah if you, somebody greet you, you must answer more greeting for this people who are greeting you. Because making softness for people. People, normally Allāh created them like wild. But when slowly slowly coming together, one saying greeting salām or welcome or something like this, other he will say wa ‘alaykum salām. wa raḥmatu Llāhi wa barakātuhu. So it will be some friend or welcoming to be warm, warm thing in this moment. But without saying anything it is cold and not friendly. Especially between Muslim they must be this.
And there is also somebody coming to other place but mostly when they are coming to dergāh, because our dergāh it is open. They are coming inside, looking like this, do this, and not saying salāmu ‘alaykum or hello or something, just looking, going; like looking looking and going. And there is this not, you are not in the street, you are not in... Even when you, if you going to cafe or to restaurant maybe can do this, no need. Even they you greet the waiter there because they are waiting. Hello you saying. But here when go to dergāh you must from beginning going, knocking door, saying Salāmu ‘alaykum. There is many people sitting there they will be happy to greet you, to welcoming you. And asking how are you and you will be speaking, it will be nice atmosphere for you and for others.
This is what Allāh teaching us. Prophet, through Prophet teaching to make our wildness to be become more human being. Not like wild thing, they are only afraid from everybody. No need to afraid. If you afraid only from enemy. Enemy not accepting you, not saying welcoming you. But when you are doing to any place, especially for dergāh, we say you must greet and say. Because who coming from outside must greet inside. He is going coming walking must greet the sitting one. Who is coming from outside. But if you are in road you can make first the sitting one. Who is coming from outside. But if you are in road you can make first.
And it is to make salām one good attribute from Prophet what which we saying sunnah. But to accept and to reply it is obligatory because order from Allāh. If you are, somebody greet you, must greet him and make him more pleasure for him. This for whole people, for Muslim, for non-Muslim. So also make you when greet some human being when he come to you, he will be happy. This is our way. Most of people they are greeting even in the street. But we must be teach them for this. Because many time we go through them, if you not saying anything they are not talking for you. But once, once, twice, they will be happy to replying you. But there is also some kind of people, they are claiming they are Muslim, they are not answering when greet, when you greet them salām they making themselves they are not hearing. But they are hearing why they not? Because you are not
in their way. You are, your way another way. Your Jamā‘ah from other. This also Allāh will punish them because they are coming against order of Allāh. Not listening. When say, who, however who saying for you salām you must reply, not saying this one he is from our people or from other people or ... No you cannot look and reply for this kind. When somebody greet you, you must reply and Allāh will reward you, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh make us to be polite people. Polite people they are good people. Politeness - way of Prophet. He was most polite one. "wa law kunta faẓẓan ghaliyẓa l-qalbi la-anfaḍḍū min ḥāwlika" (3:159) If you are tough and your heart is hard this people they will be run from you. This Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying. So he was very polite, Prophet and teaching us to be polite, to be respectful and to be good people, not wild and tough people.

103.OTTOMAN ISLĀM IS REAL ISLĀM Monday, 5 June 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.
Today is the 5th of June, Monday. Exactly 50 years ago, on Monday, the 5th of June, we remember that time very well. We were 10 years old in Damascus then. We looked, bombs were blasting. That was the war. The war between Israel and Arabs. The Jews took over everything in five hours. They didn't leave anything. We looked on the second day, thousands of refugees were running away. They were sleeping in tents. 50 years before that in 1917, they exiled the Ottomans - The Arabs united with the British, French, unbelievers and fought against the Ottomans. "We want our own government". And they: The Ottoman government was one government. They divided it into 40 governments. 22 of them were Arab governments. And they put Israel there too. It attacked them from time to time and does what it wants.
That day, we remember it later, those were people against Allāh - all of them except Jordan were communists, people not believing in Allāh. There was a man called ‘Abdu lNāṣir in Egypt. In Syria, the Ba‘ath Party, they became so proud against Muslims and against Allāh that there came a fist from Allāh. In 6 hours Israel didn't leave anything for them. They took Quds, they took Sinai, they took Golan and have not given it back until now. In one day, in 6 hours. They say it was a 6-day war. In fact, 6 hours. They finished everything in 6 hours. Wisdom of Allāh.
I remember that today. Exactly 50 years ago, on Monday the 5th of June. Why are we remembering it? Ḥajjah Anne used to make dhikr and sohbet on Mondays. It was right during dhikr, in the afternoon around this time. It started suddenly with bombs from antiaircraft. We went outside to check what was going on. We got scared. Then we realized Allāh was hitting people who were not on His way. He was giving them a lesson because they said they didn't want Islām. "We are Ba‘ath" - Ba‘ath meaning Arabs. They wanted to revive the old Arabs. "Ba‘thu ba‘da l-mawt." (resurrection after death). They wanted to bring back the Ba‘ath Arabs. Allāh sent them such a fist, they couldn't come to their senses till now. It is still going on the same way. The Islamic world is just an entertainment for kāfir. Islāmis neither with Wahhābi nor with Shī‘ah. Let us make this clear. Islām is with people on the way of our Prophet in shā’Allāh. When Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām comes, he will put everyone in order. Only he will make the whole world
Muslim. And the time is near, with permission of Allāh. Because in 1967, all the leaders were unbelievers - socialists, communists, ba'ath. The majority were people swearing and cursing Allāh. They would do such a swearing and cursing that you can't say it to people. And they were saying against Allāh. But Allāh gave them their lesson. They are living as Muslims now, but as they are not on the right way. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave this trouble to them so they return to Allāh's way. But instead, they are losing their way completely. They must make tawbah and return to the way.
But since the Ottomans, for exactly 100 years, the Ottomans were withdrawn in 1917, they didn't have any goodness. All the time they have had troubles, sufferings, wars, poverty, all kinds of misery after the Ottomans. It is exactly 100 years since the Ottomans. In shā’a Llāh, people now are missing the Ottomans. Because the Ottomans were helpful to the whole world, not only Muslims but also kāfir. All these kāfir countries with British on top, Germans, French, Italians, Russians, Chinese, how many kāfir countries there were, they said "We will finish Islām and relax". You relax when there is Islām. If not, you cannot relax too.
The true Islām is Islām on the way of our Prophet. The rest have lost their ways. All of them are following their mind productions. In shā’a Llāh, may these Ottomans appear soon, may Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām come soon. In shā’a Llāh, we will have peace then. Otherwise, as Mawlānā used to say, every day is worse than the next. Every day is worse than the other. In 1967, there was still some barakah but now every day is worse and going into darkness because people are not using their minds. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will raise His religion. "Wa-Llāhu mutimmu nūrihi walaw kariha l-kāfirūn." (61:8) Allāh will complete His light even if kāfir don't like it. Allāh will help Himself. As long as He wants, no one can stand against Him. There is Allāh. Even if whole world comes against, Allāh will do what He wants.
Today it is 5th of June. It is also Monday. I was thinking from two, three days every 5th of June I have some remembrance from old time. But this time, before fifty years ago, and it was also Monday and same time like this time. I was ten year old child. Suddenly I was in the house this Monday, Hajji Anne she was making ṣuḥbah and dhikr for ladies. And suddenly we hear explosions many. And we afraid. What happen, what is this? First we thought maybe they are blowing from mountain to open. After and quickly everywhere and after we look for sky it was for firing against airplane. Enemy airplane they was attacking Damascus, Syria. So it was making this and so I was a child. But was very afraid from this what happen. First time because before we more smaller I was, they also fighting but this is what I remember very clearly and it is now fifty year from that day.
Before fifty year also from that day now - meaning 100 years ago, this people they was ruling by Ottoman and by Khalīfatu l-Islām, successor of Prophet who is head of Islām.
And they must obey him. This people they cheated by non-believer, by their enemy, the friend of shayṭān. They say for them, "O Arab why you are following this Ottoman? You have everything, you must be, you have your country, you must rule this country by yourself." And they was cheated really. And they was throw out Ottoman. They killed hundred thousand of Ottoman army and they was coming back to their only Anatolia. Because whole this area also belong to Ottoman, for Khalīfah. Who fight against Khalīfah, Allāh will ask him what for what he done. But Allāh make this people - from one country, Ottoman country, this people, enemy of Islām, they make 40 country, 22 of them Arab.
They said we are Arab. Why you do 22 country? If you are Arab, one country it's ok for you. No because this fox non-believer they must divide them to small small country to be easy for control them and easy to fight them, if anything happen. And they was cheating and this is what happen in before fifty year, 5th of June. Israel was attacking Syria, Jordan, Egypt. And Israel they take land double of their land, from first nineteen year ago, they take double. If they was one they make three times bigger. And this people they was ruler of Egypt and Syria. Only Jordan they was Ahlu l-Bayt. And they was poor because they are, they don't have anything. But they obligatory to attack them and they finish them also.
But the worst there was Syria and Egypt because they was following communist and nationalist. Egypt he ban everything from Islām. Syria also they have this Ba‘ath regime. This Ba‘ath regime they are not accepting anything from Islām. They said we are Arab, we are from before Islām. No need for us for Islām. We are Arab and we are coming before Islām, [when] there is no Islām. We are from this people. And they was making for, make people army to be, they thought to make them more stronger, they bring singer dancer before one week going around the army to make them motivated. Motivate this people and after one week Israel - they said six days, no only six hour - they was finish everything. This slapping from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. But still they are not waking up. Still following shayṭān and his follower.
Now hundred year since Ottoman finish it is everything is getting worse. Getting worse, getting worse. And Ottoman it was good for whole human being. Not only for whole humanity, for this English, French, German, Russian, all of them they was getting benefit from Ottoman. But they thought, because they are army of shayṭān, if we finish this it will be everything for us. They are coming worse and worse for all of human being. Muslim, nonMuslim it is coming like this. What we must do? We must ask Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to send us real Islām. Real Islām - the Ottoman Islām. Who they are with weak and with [them] they are merciful. And Shī‘ah not good. Wahhābī also not good, they are extreme these two. We are saying openly. We are not afraid from anybody. We must say the truth because the most of this trouble coming from this two part and this part, two part, they have their teacher from shayṭān. This country they give them, supporting
them they are non-Muslim country. Because never they are not fighting with, all time fighting with Muslim. Not fighting with non-Muslim. And they make big theatre but many people, most of people they understand this. Even in their country also they understanding this but they cannot do anything now.
But Allāh He said "Wa-Llāhu mutimmu nūrihi walaw kariha l-kāfirūn." (61:8) Allāh He will complete His light. What light? Islām. And it will be for whole world, in shā’a Llāh, when Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām coming. No need for us to fight. We are now waiting, waiting Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. When he come, he know what he will do. In shā’a Llāh we are hope it is near. We are hope very very near because everything it's very bad. Nothing good except who are in right way, in shā’a Llāh. O Wahhābī, O Shī‘ah come to right way. Don't be follow your idea what - not Prophet, not even - openly denying Qur’ān, denying word of Prophet. Follow them. Follow this and to be safe here and hereafter.

104.ASK ONLY FROM ALLĀH Tuesday, 6 June 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.
It says: al-mas’ala li-ghayri Llāh madhallah To ask from other than Allāh is debasing. Whatever you ask for, ask from Allāh. It becomes difficult for people to give as much as they want to. It's not easy to give. That's why these people go to the man saying he's rich, we go and ask from him, They come back without taking anything. Don't go in that direction the Prophet is saying. Don't ask from people, ask from Allāh. If you ask from Allāh. Allā
