Suhbah 2017: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (11/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5485
h will send you. There's no need for you to go and come back, becoming contemptible and disgraced. Ask from Allāh sincerely. Allāh will give you the best, what is necessary for you.
Very few people - "Wa-qalīlun min ‘ibādiya sh-shakūr."(34:13) - give thanks and say, "this is Allāh's blessing, I should give it." Very few people say this. That's why Prophet is saying "The giving hand is better than the one that takes." But people still don't listen. They obey their own ego. And when they obey their ego, they become disgraced. In the old days people said, "I've very little food so I've a carefree mind.” Even if you've very little, it's nice and a great grant to live without needing anyone. This is a reason, a means for him to respect himself and others to respect him. A Muslim has to be respectable. He's of the ummah of the Prophet. He has to be honorable among people. He should not ask from people who have no value in Allāh's Presence. He should ask from Allāh.
In shā’Allāh, Allah will give him with blessings, barakah. When there's barakah - if he takes a thousand fold from somewhere else if it has no barakah it has no benefit. The Prophet or mashāyikh they never asked for anything for themselves. The Prophet never asked. They only fulfilled Allāh's order. They had zakāh and zakātu l-fiṭr and the taxes of the people who didn't accept to be Muslims. They collected these. They didn't ask for anything from any other person.
But when something comes to someone there's no obstacle for him to take it. You didn't ask for it. So it means Allah sent it. You can take it at without worry. For the person who's entitled to receive zakāh, he may use zakāh. If you're not entitled to receive zakāh, then you say, "I'm not entitled to receive." You say to the other person if you wish: "I know people who are in need. I may give this as a trust", you may say. But if you're not entitled
to receive it, don't take it. Whatever is given, as long as it's given without having been asked for or demanding, there's no obstacle for taking it, it's ḥalāl. "mā jā’a bi-ghayri s- su’āl fahuwa aḥallu l-ḥalāl" he said. It says, whatever comes without asking or demanding is ḥalāl of the ḥalāl.
That's why may Allāh give all of us this understanding - that we, as a Muslims, should not be despicable to the non-Muslims, to the ones against Muslims and Islām. Muslims among themselves, they should be humble but in front of others, who are disobedient to the order of Allāh, they must never be contemptible for money, stuff, for anything. Don't ask from them.
I think it is ḥadīth, I think not sure but "al-mas’ala li-ghayri Llāh madhallah". Saying, if you ask something from people it is for you.... zelil... humiliation yani not good. Don't ask anything for yourself, for your family or to go and ask money to ask something from people. It is not good. Prophet never asked, he was, he is never happy for people to ask. Every time saying the hand who give it is better than hand who take. It is upper from hand of taking. So don't ask anything from people. Ask from the Lord of people. Ask.
Allāh saying, "ask from Me what you want. I will give you." If some rich man he say to you, "come ask what you want, I will give you" and you are going to his driver or to his worker and ask from him how it is look stupid thing. We are doing all the time like this. We are not asking from Lord, ask from the worker, from driver. This people they are very poor people, hardly they can survive. They only for themself they... but you are leaving the rich man and asking from... This is our what we doing. Asking from anybody like this. Allāh He has everything. Ask from Him. He Said: "ud‘ūnī astajib lakum" (40:60) "Ask I give. I am the most Generous, Akramu l-akramīn."
No need to. Because people very few people they are real generous, real good people. You can ask from them. And this people you cannot find them. So don't make yourself to be low position for you, don't. Ask from their Lord. And, in shā’a Llāh, He will send you what you want, what you need, with barakah. Because if even He give very small thing with barakah, it is better than thousand time from other. What you ask and you get with not happy people. This time people they are when they saw, seeing somebody they thought they will get benefit from him that our days people just quickly in their mind making calculation making this, this man good, this man like this, like that. We can get benefit from him. No you cannot because everybody they are looking for him. He cannot afford even he give, not for everybody.
Ask from his Lord, He is enough for whole universe. Allāh make people to think good, to think proper thinking. If you, they think like this, Allāh will give him. And Allāh what He give we can take. Without asking it is ḥalāl. "mā jā’a bi-ghayri s-su’āl fahuwa aḥallu l-ḥalāl" he said. What this is also rule from Islām. Without asking, somebody giving you
you can take, it is ḥalāl. No need to ask. But maybe sometimes they give zakāt or something. if you don't in need for zakāt your, you are in good situation, you can tell him - "zakāt I cannot take but if you like I can give for people they are in need." If they accept ok. If not you can give him back. But for other thing you can take it, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh give us from His endless treasure. Allāh make us to not be in need to anybody. Because to be need to some people who are, especially who are not practicing or not knowing anything from religion, or sometime they know religion but they are more like they're, what they have. I don't... Allāh make us to not be in need for this people. Allāh give us from His endless treasure, in shā’Allāh.

105.DON’T BE HEEDLESS Wednesday, 7 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.
Our Prophet is saying Allāhumma a‘inna ‘alá dhikrika wa shukrika wa ḥusna ‘ibādatik. Wa lā tajʿalnā mina l-ghāfilīn. Our Prophet is praying to Allāh and we are repeating the same thing. Help us to be constant in Your remembrance. Help us thank You, make shukr to You. Don't make us from the heedless ones. A man can fall into heedlessness at any moment. Therefore, it is a good prayer. And its thawāb (reward) is big. Its virtues are great. It says: help us to have good worshipping. Don't deprive us from Your dhikr. Help us make dhikr and worship well. People are doing but there is a way to do it better. The most important is heedlessness. All of us are heedless. They forget worship in a moment, forget other things and get involved in dunyā. Whatever there is in dunyā, games for children, cars for young people, they become heedless and follow these. Some people are watching TV, some are worried about earning money. Every moment shayṭān puts us in heedlessness to estrange us from Allāh.
There is heedlessness in everyone. In a minute, a man thinks about useless things and he forgets Allāh, which is useful. He forgets dhikr of Allāh. Whereas you can do what you have to without forgetting Allāh and being heedless. Everything would be perfect then. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created us. In order to be able to do everything, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us arms and legs. And He is saying - eat, drink, go wherever you want but don't forget Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. "Don't forget Me", says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Don't fall into heedlessness. Heedlessness, even from the perspective of this world, sometimes a second of heedlessness can put a person into difficulty.
This is materially. And in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla every minute, every breath is a treasure for us. Once it is gone. When money is gone, it may come back but when a breath, a life is gone, it cannot return. Therefore, we have to know its value and not be heedless. May Allāh protect everyone from doing useless work, from going to useless places, bad places, in shā'a Llāh. When a person is in a good place, he should not forget that he is always under Allāh's gaze and is always with Allāh. Who doesn't forget this is not heedless. He is always winning. Prophet he making this du‘ā’ Allāhumma a‘inna ‘alá dhikrika wa shukrika wa ḥusni ‘ibādatika wa lā taj‘alna mina l-ghāfilīn Meaning, O our Lord, help us to be remember You, to thank You, to be, to make nice beautiful
worshipping. These three are very important. And more important than this - don't let us to be heedless. Don't let us to be heedless. It is very important because this life we are doing, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, who believer they can make good worshipping, thanking for Allāh and mentioning name of Allāh. But many time they are heedless. One second you are with Allāh after you going to some, your mind going to other place or you working something. You forget and you be heedless.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create us and He give us everything: hand, foot, you can go here, there, travelling. You eat, drink, enjoy but He said, don't forget, don't be heedless. Every time must be remember Allāh to be knowing He is every second with us. Every minute with us, every time He is looking for us but cannot go any place without Him. This is, if you remember this you will be from good, happy people.
Prophet very important duā’ very important praying this. Short but it is real. We need very much this because you know our life it is precious. Money, if you lose money maybe you can bring again, maybe you can bring more money. Sometimes people they lose money but they after they become more. But from your life, if you lose one minute, one second, you cannot bring again. This only very limited. So it is more important than money, more important than everything. Your time to not be heedless. If you are every time with remembering you will be the most happy in next life because you are whole time with your Creator. When you remember this so you must, you meaning this, you are loving your Creator. And when somebody with his with loving Him, he will be whole time happy. He whole time with bless from Allāh. When you happy with Allāh, you love Allāh, He will love you also.
This is very short but Mā shā’Allāh Prophet He was making ḥadīth short but he is oceans of meaning. In shā’a Llāh for this Ramaḍān day Allāh accept this duā’ of Prophet for us also. To be from this people, to be remember, to not be heedless, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
106.THE MOST FORGIVING Thursday, 8 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 saying Qur’ān: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa law annahum idh ẓalamū anfusahum jā’uka fastaghfarū Llāha wastaghfara lahumu l-rasūlu lawajadū Llāha tawwāban raḥīmā."(4:65) He says if people oppress themselves - how can a person oppress himself? Oppression is doing bad deeds, committing sins, cruelty. Who are you oppressing? You oppress yourself first of all. Allāh doesn't oppress you. You oppress by yourself. We oppress, then regret it. What shall we do?
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying if you come to our Prophet, our Prophet will ask forgiveness for you. You should repent. And our Prophet will ask forgiveness for you from Allāh. Allāh is forgiving and merciful, very forgiving and very merciful. He has endless forgiveness. You can oppress yourself and commit sin as much as you do, Allāh will forgive. As long as you repent, He forgives.
For the honor of our Prophet, He opened that door for ummati Muḥammad,. "Raḥīmā" (4:65). And that is very merciful. Merciful, His mercy is endless. Therefore, nobody should be desperate and hopeless. If you commit a sin, make tawbah immediately so that your sin is erased and Allāh writes for you thawāb (reward) in return. Because you have acknowledged your sin and repented Allāh will forgive you and your sin will be converted into thawāb. There is nothing better than this.
If you make a mistake in dunyā, nobody will forgive you. You will carry your punishment for sure. After you're done with your punishment, most people won't even approach you. "He was a bad man." "He paid for it. Let it be." But people won't care. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is not like this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla forgives your sin. And as a favour to you, He will write it as thawāb for you. You should know its value. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us such favours, He gave us such kindness that this beautiful condition... Just think if all our sins are not forgiven, how difficult it will be. You will be held accountable for them. You will pay a lot for it. Therefore, we should make shukr to Allāh for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has endless mercy. Thousands of shukr.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying in this surah, in Qur’ān: A‘ūdhu biLlāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r- rajīm bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Wa law annahum idh ẓalamū anfusahum jā’uka fastaghfarū Llāha wastaghfara lahumu l-rasūlu lawajadū Llāha tawwāban raḥīmā."(4:65) Ayet yanlış da şimdi ayetleri yanlış da okusan. What we read I don't know if read right but I think, but in Qur’ān even when you read something maybe you miss some word or you forget something it is ok. Allāh He has angel to correct it. It is preserved - Qur’ān nothing can change for it. For this no matter for Qur’ān when you are, maybe saying one word less, one word wrong. So Allāh it is for Qur’ān it's ok you can. Allāh there is angel to correct it. But for ḥadīth you must say it as what Prophet saying or you said as Prophet he said. We don't know exactly. But for Qur’ān like this.
So this in this āyah is saying, O believer, if you oppress yourself what you do. How can somebody oppress himself? Everybody they like themselves, their body, their everything. They are happy with this. Nobody likes to oppress himself. But oppress himself - to make wrong, to make bad deed. To make sins, to make sins it is oppress. First thing you oppress - yourself. So what we must do? Allāh saying if they come to you and they repent and ask forgiveness and Prophet ask for them forgiveness, they will find Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla very forgiving, the most forgiving, most merciful. Nobody can be like Him. He will forgive you and even He will give you reward you because you ask for forgiveness and you come to right way. He will change the mistake, sins, to reward for you. It is very merciful Allāh. No anything, anybody can do this.
In life many people they are making mistake or making something if they catch them they will be charged and they will be taking their punishment. Even they ask for forgiveness, nobody listening for them. "I'm repent I will don't not I will not do this again. Please don't let me in jail. Don't beat me, don't do this, don't". No nobody listening for him. They will punish and after when they punish even after punishment the people around them, nobody like to be with them. Nobody take them to work. Nobody to help them. It is like this but for Allāh what you everything Allāh forgive. And He is reward you for your repenting. So it is something very good. He must be very happy because if you imagine if Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla not forgive us and everything we will be ask for, it will be horrible.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh Prophet saying for one ask him, "if I do wrong, I ask for forgiveness from Allāh He forgive me?" Prophet say: "yes." After he ask him again. Ok again "He will forgive you" he said. He was asking many times and Prophet "if you ask hundred time, it's same it will be" he said. As much you can you do Allāh will forgive you when you ask for forgiveness.
So you are must be very happy and very hopeful, no be sad for life of real life. Allāh, in shā’Allāh, when we coming to His divinely presence we will be, in shā’Allāh, by shafā‘at
Prophet very clean. This is our belief. We are happy with people to be forgive them Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Not like envious people, they like people to go to hell. No, we are like people to repent and to ask for forgiveness from Allāh to be in jannah, in paradise. Al- ḥamdu liLlāh we are happy with His Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla's Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla good tiding for us. Every time, every minute this good tiding going around, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
107.THE COMPANIONS OF BADR Friday, 9 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 saying "Wa-mā n-naṣru illā min ‘indi Llāhi inna Llāha
‘azi
un ḥakīm." (8:10) Alla
‘Azza wa Jalla sent our Prophet during Ramaḍa
like this
between the 11th and the 17th. Our Prophet went to his first battle. The battle of Badr. Holy Badr became a great victory for our Prophet. Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla granted the promised victory to our Prophet. Our Prophet had suffered for thirteen years. After being oppressed by his tribe, being patient and going to Madin̄ ah, at the end an order came for resistance. An order came to our Prophet to fight the kaf̄ ir, to make jihād. There were made several battles like this but the battle of Badr was such a great battle and the first one.
The battle of Badr is the battle of miracles. Because from ṣaḥābah, 313 are ṣaḥābah of Badr. 305 joined the battle and 8 were assigned duty in Madi ah by our Prophet. Altogether it makes 313. And they had their share from the spoils. The booty doesn't matter, just worldly material. Allāh granted them the highest rank. Ṣaḥabah are the highest people of ummah. And among them there are ‘Ashara Mubashshara, four khalīfahs, azwāji ṭāhirah̄ , and then come these 313 ṣaḥābah of Badr. For them Hell fire is forbidden. They won't enter hell. There are ḥadīth of our Prophet. They are the highest of ṣaḥābah. And there are ‘Ashara Mubashshara inside them.
As our Prophet says to Jibri ‘alayhi s-salām, not only them but also 5000 angels were sent by Allah̄ to this battle. And those angels are the highest among angels. As they participated in the battle of Badr, they were favoured too, shukr to Allāh. And if the names of ṣaḥābah of Badr are written and kept, there will be barakah. And if there is a problem or an unsolved situation, it will be solved.
Our Prophet, as we said, trusted in Allāh and by carrying out Allāh's order went on this jihād. To make an example for ummah there, he didn't say "Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is my Protector. I don't have to do anything". Our Prophet didn't say so. He made sajdah and prayed till the morning and worshipped so that people do the same. Because du‘ā’ is important too. It is the weapon of Muslims. They should do it. Then the victory is
from Alla . "Wa-mā n-naṣru illā min ‘indi Llāh." (8:10) The victory is in the presence of Alla . granted the victory to our Prophet Allāh.
During that Ramaḍan̄ that was the first victory for the Muslims. Allāh's help is with Muslims until Qiyāmah, with the true Muslims, with those who have no evil inside them had been patient for 13-14 years. He against Isla and Muslims. Our Prophet suffered a lot. And they were preventing people to become Muslim. They were sending news everywhere: "Don't believe. We are his family, his tribe but we don't believe him". This battle was not only for booty, not for gold or silver or whatever there was. It was for Islām. And it was for Allāh. And He made it happen.
Alla helped them. There was both physical and spiritual help. Because unbelievers were more than 1000 people. Their horses more than 100, camels more than 700. And Muslims were only 300 with 3 horses and they had a few camels. That was it. There was nothing. There was no armour. As Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla wanted, He helped them. He sent them angels. One angel was enough to destroy all of them. But with mercy of our Prophet, in order that they might become Muslim in the future, Alla punished only the fierce ones, those who were harmful for Islam̄ and Muslims, in front of ṣaḥābah and angels. Because when angels hit... As they never fought before, Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla "Fa- ḍribū fawqa l-a‘nāqi wa-ḍribū minhum kulla banān." (8:12) He ordered the angels to hit on their necks. Because the angels had never fought before, Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla gave them such inspiration. When an angel hit - a Muslim said "Just as I was about to hit the unbeliever, his head went one way and his body another way". An Angel was hitting him. But as we said, they did this to who deserved it. Otherwise, Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla sent down 1000 angels, then 3000, then 5000 angels so that those angels have their favour. They are more virtuous among the other angels.
And among Muslims, the ṣaḥābah of Badr are very precious. May Allāh be pleased with them. May we have their blessing, in shā’Allāh. May we walk on their way. Their way is the good way. Because all of them are the greatest of ṣaḥābah. They have no mistakes. Because some had sins and their past sins were forgiven. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla forgave their past and future. That's why, they are protected from sin.
Today al-ḥamdu liLla
14th of Ramaḍa
and in these days Prophet he settle in Madīnah,
first battle for him. These days it was, between 12th of Ramaḍan̄ until 17th or 18th something - ghazwah of Badr. We say ghazwah when Prophet He is fighting in this. So this is the first one and it is real blessed one. And who was in this battle with ṣaḥābah, companion of Prophet, they are the most perfect and most acceptable companion of Prophet. Because there is one hundred twenty four thousand ṣaḥābah but each one they have level. This Badr companion they are the most highest station and they are three hundred thirteen three hundred thirteen, three hundred five, They come with Prophet for this war, battle. And eight Prophet he appoint them in Madin̄ ah to keep security or
to for looking after people. And this, with this becoming for three hundred thirteen. And they are all of them the most high station.
Prophet he said all my companions like star but this is they are more. Because the many ḥadīth saying these companions who fighting with Prophet they was also from angel. Five thousand angel fighting also with Prophet in this battle. And they are also the highest station between angels. Because they are also Aṣḥābu l-Badr, companion of Badr. They are also companion of Prophet from angel. And they was, Allāh give them, send them for help for Prophet to make his... One angel he was enough for to finish all
this enemy. No He, need for five thousand but for generous for make fakha honour Prophet send him five thousand from angels.
ah, to
This, who will coming for fighting Prophet, they was very strong army. More than thousand non-believer, five, seven hundred camel, (five) hundred horse and with dira‘ shields but Prophet and his companion only three horses, maybe five camels and only the, even they don't have, all this army, any weapons. With stone, with stick they was fighting. So al- ḥamdu liLlāh Alla He send this angel but for mercy of Prophet he didn't want them to finish this people. Only finish the most harmful for Islām, for Muslim - seventy, the dinosaur from this people. They are no mercy, they have, they are very proud, they are very no mercy. Every badness it was with them. Only this seventy people they deserve to be killed and only this. Other they catch seventy four capture them. After they leave them also.
And it was miracle whole this battle many miracle. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla show us Prophet And Allāh He, he was whole night praying and giving for sujūd, asking help from Alla know this but this is for us to be know every time to ask from and he is helping him Allāh. Ask help don't be lazy. Allāh He happy with you when you ask Him. Not like people, if you ask some people once, twice, third time he will be fed up from you. But Allāh He is happy as much you can ask Him He is more happy. So this is also lesson for us.
And this ṣaḥābah three hundred thirteen we are asking anything, if anything happen you can read the name and ask from Allāh for barakah of this people to make this problem finish, to what you want to get, you get, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh bless them because, this also ḥadīth, they will not go, no one of this going to hell, only in Jannah. And they was forgive them before and after because if you are done something you ask forgiveness you, Allah̄ forgive you for what you done - not what you will do. But for these ṣaḥabah, Allāh He was forgive them for whole life and generous them to good tiding they will be in Jannah all of them.
We asking for ummati Muḥammad for them to help us, to send us, in shā’Allāh Imām
Mahdī (as) to make this world beautiful, clean from every badness. Now every everything becoming dirty in this world. Need somebody to clean it. Allāh send him, in shā’Allāh, for this ṣaḥābah Aṣḥābu l-Badr, in shā’Allah̄ . Allāh save you from every
badness and keep you safe, in shā’Alla Prophet, tarīqah.
. And make you to spread this nice good way of
Tarīqah, is way for Prophet. And to make be people understanding not to
misunderstand ṭari shā’Allāh.
ah. Ṭarīqah it is real pleasure for Muslim and human being, in
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
108.THE VALUE OF AL-FATIHAH Saturday, 10 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 granted many favours to our Prophet and our Prophet is giving these favours to his ummah. He is giving to those who ask. He says "Take it". Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the most Generous. And among the creatures, no one is more generous than our Prophet. Anything he was given, our Prophet would give away. In addition to physical things, all universes belong to our Prophet, there are some spiritual favours. And from them is what is called "as-sab‘an mathānī" - seven good things - This is the first sūrah of Qur’ān, al-Fātiḥah. This sūrah was given to our Prophet.
There is before and after it. It is such a great sūrah that our Prophet says in ḥadīth, Sūratu l-Fātiḥah is more valuable than Zabūr, Torah, Injīl and Qur’ān. It is so precious. He says if you put Qur’ān on one tray of the scale and put Sūratu l-Fātiḥah on another tray, Sūratu lFātiḥah will weigh seven times more. Shukr to Allāh, in Qur’ān we read daily and in our prayers I think not less than 100 times. It is such a great favour. We read it without realizing its value. Therefore, we have to know its value and make shukr to Allāh. It is shifā’. When recited to the sick, it becomes a cure. People in difficult conditions, whatever problems they have, if they recite it and make du‘ā’; they make du‘ā’ and recite Fātiḥah so that it is accepted. And Allāh accepts it.
With permission of Allāh, it is the first sūrah of Qur’ān, it is the ornament of Qur’ān. It is a very big gift to ummati Muḥammad and first of all to our Prophet. It is very precious for us, the most precious gift. Because the material gifts don't go with you when you pass away but gifts like this, spiritual gifts, granted to you will be with you until Qiyāmah. They will be useful. It is the ornament of Qur’ān. It is the head of Qur’ān. And it is a grant to our Prophet. Allāh has given gifts according to his value.
May Allah make these favours last for us, in shā’Allāh. May He make us from those who appreciate, in shā’Allāh.
We are thanking Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla for what He give for our Prophet. He is most honourable between all creatures and he is most generous. Allāh give him as what his value because he is most valued - give him everything, every good thing. But there is
one thing, it is more valuable - Sūratu l-Fātiḥah. First sūrah of Qur’ān, we are reading this every day, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. It is very precious. Prophet saying this sūrah it is more precious than Zabūr, Tawrāh, Injīl, and Qur’ān. From four holy book it is more precious.
Very small sūrah, seven verses, but Allāh He give this value for this and keep it for Prophet Sayyidinā Muḥammad. Not giving to any Prophet before him. And the Prophet also saying if Qur’ān put in one for scale, Qur’ān in one side, other side Sūratu lFātiḥah - Sūratu l-Fātiḥah it is seven times stronger than whole Qur’ān. So we are ignorant people, not knowing value. It is reading like this every time. But is very valuable thing and Allāh give for our Prophet. And Prophet - the more generous Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla - and among whole creatures our Prophet is the most generous. Even not leaving anything for his living. When somebody coming, material thing quickly giving. He was giving for this spiritual gift, he is also happy with this for his ummah - to distribute and to make people get benefit from this. He is very happy al-ḥamdu liLlāh.
We are thanking Allāh, thanking Prophet for this and it is shifā’ cure, give cure. When you read this Allāh cure you from illness, from bad thing, and keep you safe. For this we every day maybe we read hundred times Fātiḥah but without knowing - from Qur’ān, from praying, from du‘ā’. After du‘ā’ making this because when you say Fātiḥah after praying, after du‘ā’, Allāh accept this. And He al-ḥamdu lillāh He is putting - Allāh want us to be get benefit from everything - and He put the most important sūrah after every du‘ā’ you must read this Fātiḥah. We are thanking Allāh for this.
Without any difficulty He giving us - just you be believe. "Me love Me and love Prophet I have whole thing, whole generous for you. I am not, I am not in need for anything." saying Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla only He is wish to human being to accept Him and take from His gifts endless treasure, endless mercy, endless happiness. This is what Allāh promise us. Allāh promise this in Qur’ān He say. And other side, most of human being they are going for another promise. What promise? Shayṭān promise. He promise you miserable. He promise you sadness. He promise you every bad thing. And people they are running for this and leaving the good thing. Allāh make our eyes and our heart to open, to know reality, and coming after reality, in shā’Allāh, after happiness, after beauty, and after whole good thing, in shā’Allāh.

109.KEEP FROM BAD THOUGHTS Sunday, 11 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, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, says "Yā ayyuhā l-ladhīna āmanū jtanibū kathīran mina ẓ-ẓanni inna ba‘ḍa ẓ- ẓanni ithmun." (49:12) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling not to think badly. People may have waswasah (whispering) "This man is harming me. This man doesn't like me." They make waswasah and feel hatred against that man. Therefore, thinking badly is not good. You should cover everything in a good way. Many people come here with such complaints. They say "This man is putting a spell on me". What spell? A man is completely clean. He has nothing to do with you. Shayṭān puts waswasah inside people. "I saw in a dream that he is harming me. What shall I do?" He is therefore ready to get into fight with him, to beat him. Some people go so far. That's why you must explain everything away in a good way, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Stay away from bad thoughts and assumptions. Bad thoughts make a man uncomfortable and worried. It is possible that a man has difficulties in his life by the will of Allāh and he makes it even worse with such thoughts. You should look on the bright side. It is a test. It comes from Allāh. It has nothing to do with other people. All people now are saying they have had a spell put on them. You look at them, you... I don't want to say it or belittle you, but why would someone want to put a spell on you? You are not worth the money which it costs for doing it. We are saying it here. Don't think big of yourself. You should be humble to be able to say "Who would put a spell on such a poor man as me? Who can deal with it?" in order not to say there is black magic.
The biggest sign of the end of times is that nobody sees the faults in himself. They want to blame on others. And then they see them as enemies. And Muslims are brothers, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Don't have enmity. Don't think badly. Don't keep bad thoughts. Therefore, if you want to be in peace, stay away from these things. Don't get involved in things according to your mind which you can regret later. It is the life of dunyā. Dunyā is a place of tests, not of spells or magic, or something else. If there is actually something, it can be evil eye. And for that every day in the morning recite 7 Āyatu l-Kursī and āyah against evil eye. Give your ṣadaqah. With Allāh's permission nothing will happen. It has its cure, shukr to Allāh. And spells and magic, they don't exist. We mean, it is not
something to be dealt by everyone. It is a very rare thing and it's hard to find. As we said, it is nothing but bad thoughts and assumptions.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla say in Qur’ān: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismi Llāhi rRaḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Yā ayyuhā l-ladhīna āmanū jtanibū kathīran mina ẓ-ẓanni inna ba‘ḍa ẓẓanni ithmun" (49:12) Allāh saying O believer be careful and be away from bad thought. Bad thought, lot of bad thought - don't. Be away from a lot of bad thought even little bit also. It is dirty and it is not good for you.
Nowadays people they are whole time thinking this - from nothing they make and make big problem for themself. For people they are not doing anything for them they make by themself. They saying "this man he making for me bad thing." What is this man is away from you. What he will do for you? "No I saw this in a dream and I feel and he is doing this for me." This is every day we have many people coming to say this. And we are saying, don't put your this bad thought in yourself so you will be not rest, not restful. You will be every time anxious and stressed and thinking bad thing for people.
You must think this man, many people, we are saying this to make them wake up. Not look for them they are not so high. Who are you? Why this man he will make bad thing for you? You must thought this. You must be humble - "I'm very poor man. Who will be come and make for me black magic and any bad thing?" But to put your bad thought on yourself for your brother, believer and Allāh saying be brothers, don't be enemy for believer. Believers they are brothers. Allāh accept them like this and no enemy between brothers. So it is thought from ego, from shayṭān making this in yourself and your whole life it will be miserable.
When you see something, of course our life here in dūnya in this world, it is not paradise here. Some people, every people they have each one, rich or poor, they have problem for themself. Allāh give everybody from this. So don't blame others. Just be satisfied and say this is from Allāh and this is our life. It will be sometimes nice, sometimes not so well. So we must be patient, not to put. What will they do people? The easiest thing. They not accept anything wrong from themself. They put blame on other people. This is not good thought. Good thought what Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying "liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ‘amalā" (67:2) "We are puting you in this world and you will be make your test for you to see who is better than others." Who better than others to every time he can put a blame or accept what going in his life. Not putting bad thought for other people and make them enemy for this. It is real sometimes illness. Sometimes from themself they can cure themself, but sometimes even coming more and more. It need maybe doctor to cure them.
From beginning everything you thought good, don't thought bad. "Inna ba‘ḍa ẓ-ẓanni ithmun" (49:12) And even a small thought, small thought it is wrong, beginning from
small thing. Take out of this bad thought from your head from your heart and be happy, in shā’Allāh. Allāh make it easy for everybody because everybody, as we said, sometimes there is one saying people not accepting fault for themself, even they give them by gold jacket. That not accepting. If they say this fault for you but it is gold - no no I don't want this even. Not accepting, any people, fault. Allāh make us to accept and to be humble; to not say ourself - everybody can want bad thing for us, they trying to make black magic, they doing thing. To make black magic it is nearly impossible. Very very few and what is very few, they cannot be acceptable.
Only for bad eyes and for bad eyes you must read seven times Āyatu l-Kursī every day and read for bad eyes āyah and Ikhlāṣ, Qul a‘udhu bi-rabbi l-falaq, Qul a‘udhu bi-rabbi n-nās, and give sadaqa and go. For yourself and your family. In shā’Allāh you be safe from even from this also. Allāh save us from every badness. Especially from bad thought, in shā’Allāh.

110.BE OF THE NATION OF IBRAHIM Monday, 12 June 2017
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 made us honourable. He favoured us. Among other creatures, He created mankind on the highest level. A Muslim man possesses humility. That is a good manner. True Muslims have that. A man who worships dunyā, a man who runs after dunyā, has no humility. He has no humility but a different thing which is bad and low. Allāh put you on a high level and you are putting yourself down. That is not acceptable. How does a person fall down? When he moves away from the true way his level becomes lower and lower. And he starts to go down. Moreover, he can go down very deep.
Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla is saying: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-man yarghabu ‘an millati Ibrāhīma illā man safiha nafsah." (2:130) Who doesn't follow the nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, who doesn't respect Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, makes himself worthless. Worthless is the person without value, a useless man without reputation. He has no dignity in the sight of Allāh. He may have the whole world but he has no value. The nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām - all of us Muslims are from the nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla says "I chose Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi ssalām and increased him". And you are given the honor to be from his nation. You should keep that honor. If you say "I am not from his nation. I don't want it", you belittle yourself. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām was not Jewish or Christian. Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla says he was Muslim and he is the grandfather of the grandfather of our Prophet. Because he comes from his generation, his fathers and grandfathers are from his nation. And the nation of our Prophet is from the nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, from that great nation. It is the nation raised by Allāh.
Mankind is raised when being with Allāh, they are raised when they follow Allāh's orders and they are degraded when they come against Allāh. They become worthless and low. They lose value. Shayṭān and his followers in contrast, do whatever dirt and embarrassment there is. They become famous. To become famous, they do all kinds of dirt and worthless things. They are famous but by being famous they are not saved from worthlessness. They become more worthless and lower. They have no value at all. You should go high. Your level is high. Allāh has opened for you to reach high, so that you reach up high. He doesn't want you to go down. Humility is different, worthlessness is different. Humble are people who are this way for Allāh. No need to show humbleness
for worthless people because the more you show humbleness, the more they get crazy - they assume they are something. Don't give them any value. Allāh didn't give them value. Value those who are valued by Allāh. You will be valued too, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He honour us create human being, they honour them, make them the most high station between creatures. "Wa-laqad karramnā banī Ādama fi l-barri wa lbaḥri." (17:70) Even in sea and in land, everywhere Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He honour human being. And this honour we have to be humble. Humble it is nice, very good attribute for Muslim, for believer. When you see some believer they have know something and they becoming proud, it is not so nice. But we are happy with this what Allāh give us. And He honour between human being. "Inna Llāha iṣṭafá Ādama wa Nūḥa wa-āla Ibrāhīma waāla ‘Imrāna ‘alá l-‘ālamīn." (3:33) He choose between human being the highest, the most perfect, and most what they must people follow them. And especially for Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi ssalām.
There is āyah saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-man yarghabu ‘an millati Ibrāhīma illā man safiha nafsah wa-laqadi ṣṭafaynāhu fī d-dunyā wa-innahū fī l-ākhirati lamina ṣ-ṣāliḥīn." (2:130) Allāh He said, "We choose him and who follow him, he will be with him, he will be going higher and higher. But who not caring about Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi ssalām, his nation - he said, "I don't want this" - he become no value for him. He is like safīh yani, alcak gibi. No value for him. Not only value, it is like impolite and unbeloved one, worthless - and this is real word worthless, no value for him. And when you are following Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām Allāh give you value. Make you higher and higher and higher.
And Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, who follow him they are from his nation. No difference between race. You are black, you are white, you are green, you are... Arab, you are English, you are German. No any difference. Who follow Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, he saying "I'm from his nation", he is from his nation. They was, before they was teaching in Ottoman time, we are all from nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s- salām Allāh He said he wasn't Jewish, he wasn't Christian. He was only Muslim. Muslim meaning, who like peace and making peace. And he living with peace. And this ancestor of Sayyidinā Isḥāq, Ya‘qūb, Ismā‘īl from coming until Sayyidinā Hārūn, Mūsá and Prophet, all coming from Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām.
And when you are following, you happy with him, you be higher but you are not following, doing against him, you will be worthless. Even you have everything, even you have whole countries, whole companies, whole treasures, you are worthless, you are useless in divinely presence of Allāh. And it is the most important thing. And you follow this, you becoming more lower, more lower, more lower, by following shayṭān. And shayṭān making people, cheating people, make them to make very wrong thing to be very famous. Especially these days it is the end of time. Whole bad thing teaching in
country they are saying for them - "we are top of civilisation". But they are only going lower and lower and lower, worthless, useless. No value for them. Because if there is value, they will be living forever. They can do but they will live only short time, after they will ask and they will be regret. And who following order of Allāh and saying "I'm from nation of Ibrāhīm", he will be higher and higher.
Allāh praised him. This is the most important thing to be with who praised by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and not to be with cursed people who are inventing new thing, new dirty thing, new bad thing. No value for them. Only they becoming, trying to be lower and lower. Allāh save us from them. And to make us to know value what we are in, who is following this way of Prophet, and especially to be with Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, his nation, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
111.THE IMPORTANCE OF FASTING AND I’TIKAF Tuesday, 13 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.
The month of Ramaḍān mā shā’Allāh is passing with blessings. The half is already over. This virtuous month, from all perspectives, is the month of trading for ākhirah and thawāb. Our Prophet is saying, "Ṣawmun nawma ‘ibādah. Sukūtuhū tasbīḥ." And then, "Amaluhū muḍā‘af, du‘āuhū maqbūl, dhanbuhū maghfūr." Aw kamā qāl. As our Prophet said: the sleep of a fasting man is worship. Our Prophet is saying this. So that it is helpful, you can sleep before ‘aṣr. After ‘aṣr it is makrūh - sleeping is not good. If you sleep before, it gives strength for worshipping and it is a worship as our Prophet says. You sleep and have rest and Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla writes it as worship for you. How nice. You are silent and by being doing nothing just being silent, tasbīḥ is written for you - it is as if you make tasbīḥ. If you do voluntary good deeds, it is written several times more, not twice. Allāh knows how much. He says muḍā‘af, which means multiple times. And then dhanb, sins, are forgiven. There was a fifth part as well but we forgot it because of fasting.
How nice is our religion. How nice is our Creator. How nice is our Prophet. They are granting us so many favours. You do the least. A man is fasting and that is nice too. For a person to control his ego, fasting is a worship and a means to capture his ego. It is a very good thing. Shukr to Allāh, we have completed more than half of it. And there is another worship after this. Who wants can do. What is this worship? It is farḍ. But what we mean by farḍ, there is Farḍ al-‘Ayn which must be done by everyone - like fasting, praying, zakāh for those who can give, ḥajj. Everyone who is able should do these. And there is Farḍ al-Kifāyah which if one person does it, other people are released from it. If no one does it, it will be written as a sin for everyone since the farḍ was not done. And who does it makes farḍ. And he is doing it in Ramaḍān. He will have carried out Allāh's order and have made voluntarily made a farḍ which can't be made by everyone.
A reward for Allāh's farḍ can't be compared to nafl or sunnah. Our Prophet is saying, if you intentionally miss one day of fasting in Ramaḍān and then regret it, even if you fast without a break from when you are 20 till you are 90, you won't reach its reward. The reward of farḍ is that big. Therefore, as we said, this I‘tikāf, making I‘tikāf during the last 10 days of Ramaḍān in a mosque or masjid is Farḍ al-Kifāyah. Who makes it makes farḍ.
And who doesn't make it is released since someone else makes it. Of course, who is able should do everywhere. There is permission. And it is not like khalwah. Khalwah is heavy. This one, as it is made by everyone and they make farḍ, it feels easier for people. And Allāh helps them. And they receive as much reward. Who wants can do. May Allāh accept it. May Allāh let everyone do it. May we be able to do, in shā’a Llāh. For ladies, it must be done at home. They shouldn't go outside their homes. It's even better if they have a separate room for praying. They can cook for their children, then go back to their worship. They can't go out. And for men, they should do it in a mosque. They should stay in the mosque and go out for ablution. They can eat in the mosque, if allowed. If not, they should eat and go back to the mosque immediately and stay always there. 10 days must be like this, in shā’Allāh.
We said it timely because tomorrow night after maghrib adhān it should be started. You should make intention for I‘tikāf. And you go on I‘tikāf until the first day of ‘Īd or until the eve of ‘Īd, until ‘arafah. And who ends it on ‘Īd, it is better. We are al-ḥamdu liLlāh nearly we fast most more than half of Ramaḍān. It is nice thing Ramaḍān. Allāh make it for us little bit difficult but He reward us not double, triple, more than hundred times, thousand times. He give more what you do one reward, not one reward, ten reward, hundred thousand reward also. And it is for make, to make us who are fasting, everything Allāh give them. Prophet saying, who sleeping of fasting, who fast it is worship. Because Prophet he say to in ḥadīth to be more easy for you to fasting, sleep in daytime also. You can sleep until ‘aṣr but after ‘aṣr don't sleep. Because makrūh and not good. Making disease for who are sleeping after ‘aṣr. Many people they are not looking for this. They are sleeping after ‘aṣr, it is not good. Even you feel sleepy, don't sleep. Until ‘aṣr, until four o'clock or half past four, before adhān ‘aṣr you must be wake up. And you can sleep this what you sleeping Allāh make writing reward for you. And to be sitting without doing anything silent, Allāh accept this as you make tasbīḥ. And what you done from good thing, worshipping, charity, helping people, every good thing, Allāh make it muḍā‘af - multiply beginning from ten times to until thousand times, even more. Allāh knows this. And He make your sins to be forgiven. And your du‘ā’ mustajāb (answered), your praying acceptable. Praying to ask for something from Allāh, for fasting people acceptable. It is little bit difficult for everybody but it is worth to make it because everything, whole month, even when you are sleeping day or night also you sleeping, they not saying day or night. Also when you sleeping daytime your sleeping all worshipping. Allāh accept this. And your silence also. So whole month al-ḥamdu liLlāh He give us from His reward. And His blessing every good thing.
And it is fas

h will send you. There's no need for you to go and come back, becoming contemptible and disgraced. Ask from Allāh sincerely. Allāh will give you the best, what is necessary for you.
Very few people - "Wa-qalīlun min ‘ibādiya sh-shakūr."(34:13) - give thanks and say, "this is Allāh's blessing, I should give it." Very few people say this. That's why Prophet is saying "The giving hand is better than the one that takes." But people still don't listen. They obey their own ego. And when they obey their ego, they become disgraced. In the old days people said, "I've very little food so I've a carefree mind.” Even if you've very little, it's nice and a great grant to live without needing anyone. This is a reason, a means for him to respect himself and others to respect him. A Muslim has to be respectable. He's of the ummah of the Prophet. He has to be honorable among people. He should not ask from people who have no value in Allāh's Presence. He should ask from Allāh.
In shā’Allāh, Allah will give him with blessings, barakah. When there's barakah - if he takes a thousand fold from somewhere else if it has no barakah it has no benefit. The Prophet or mashāyikh they never asked for anything for themselves. The Prophet never asked. They only fulfilled Allāh's order. They had zakāh and zakātu l-fiṭr and the taxes of the people who didn't accept to be Muslims. They collected these. They didn't ask for anything from any other person.
But when something comes to someone there's no obstacle for him to take it. You didn't ask for it. So it means Allah sent it. You can take it at without worry. For the person who's entitled to receive zakāh, he may use zakāh. If you're not entitled to receive zakāh, then you say, "I'm not entitled to receive." You say to the other person if you wish: "I know people who are in need. I may give this as a trust", you may say. But if you're not entitled
to receive it, don't take it. Whatever is given, as long as it's given without having been asked for or demanding, there's no obstacle for taking it, it's ḥalāl. "mā jā’a bi-ghayri s- su’āl fahuwa aḥallu l-ḥalāl" he said. It says, whatever comes without asking or demanding is ḥalāl of the ḥalāl.
That's why may Allāh give all of us this understanding - that we, as a Muslims, should not be despicable to the non-Muslims, to the ones against Muslims and Islām. Muslims among themselves, they should be humble but in front of others, who are disobedient to the order of Allāh, they must never be contemptible for money, stuff, for anything. Don't ask from them.
I think it is ḥadīth, I think not sure but "al-mas’ala li-ghayri Llāh madhallah". Saying, if you ask something from people it is for you.... zelil... humiliation yani not good. Don't ask anything for yourself, for your family or to go and ask money to ask something from people. It is not good. Prophet never asked, he was, he is never happy for people to ask. Every time saying the hand who give it is better than hand who take. It is upper from hand of taking. So don't ask anything from people. Ask from the Lord of people. Ask.
Allāh saying, "ask from Me what you want. I will give you." If some rich man he say to you, "come ask what you want, I will give you" and you are going to his driver or to his worker and ask from him how it is look stupid thing. We are doing all the time like this. We are not asking from Lord, ask from the worker, from driver. This people they are very poor people, hardly they can survive. They only for themself they... but you are leaving the rich man and asking from... This is our what we doing. Asking from anybody like this. Allāh He has everything. Ask from Him. He Said: "ud‘ūnī astajib lakum" (40:60) "Ask I give. I am the most Generous, Akramu l-akramīn."
No need to. Because people very few people they are real generous, real good people. You can ask from them. And this people you cannot find them. So don't make yourself to be low position for you, don't. Ask from their Lord. And, in shā’a Llāh, He will send you what you want, what you need, with barakah. Because if even He give very small thing with barakah, it is better than thousand time from other. What you ask and you get with not happy people. This time people they are when they saw, seeing somebody they thought they will get benefit from him that our days people just quickly in their mind making calculation making this, this man good, this man like this, like that. We can get benefit from him. No you cannot because everybody they are looking for him. He cannot afford even he give, not for everybody.
Ask from his Lord, He is enough for whole universe. Allāh make people to think good, to think proper thinking. If you, they think like this, Allāh will give him. And Allāh what He give we can take. Without asking it is ḥalāl. "mā jā’a bi-ghayri s-su’āl fahuwa aḥallu l-ḥalāl" he said. What this is also rule from Islām. Without asking, somebody giving you
you can take, it is ḥalāl. No need to ask. But maybe sometimes they give zakāt or something. if you don't in need for zakāt your, you are in good situation, you can tell him - "zakāt I cannot take but if you like I can give for people they are in need." If they accept ok. If not you can give him back. But for other thing you can take it, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh give us from His endless treasure. Allāh make us to not be in need to anybody. Because to be need to some people who are, especially who are not practicing or not knowing anything from religion, or sometime they know religion but they are more like they're, what they have. I don't... Allāh make us to not be in need for this people. Allāh give us from His endless treasure, in shā’Allāh.

105.DON’T BE HEEDLESS Wednesday, 7 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.
Our Prophet is saying Allāhumma a‘inna ‘alá dhikrika wa shukrika wa ḥusna ‘ibādatik. Wa lā tajʿalnā mina l-ghāfilīn. Our Prophet is praying to Allāh and we are repeating the same thing. Help us to be constant in Your remembrance. Help us thank You, make shukr to You. Don't make us from the heedless ones. A man can fall into heedlessness at any moment. Therefore, it is a good prayer. And its thawāb (reward) is big. Its virtues are great. It says: help us to have good worshipping. Don't deprive us from Your dhikr. Help us make dhikr and worship well. People are doing but there is a way to do it better. The most important is heedlessness. All of us are heedless. They forget worship in a moment, forget other things and get involved in dunyā. Whatever there is in dunyā, games for children, cars for young people, they become heedless and follow these. Some people are watching TV, some are worried about earning money. Every moment shayṭān puts us in heedlessness to estrange us from Allāh.
There is heedlessness in everyone. In a minute, a man thinks about useless things and he forgets Allāh, which is useful. He forgets dhikr of Allāh. Whereas you can do what you have to without forgetting Allāh and being heedless. Everything would be perfect then. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created us. In order to be able to do everything, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us arms and legs. And He is saying - eat, drink, go wherever you want but don't forget Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. "Don't forget Me", says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Don't fall into heedlessness. Heedlessness, even from the perspective of this world, sometimes a second of heedlessness can put a person into difficulty.
This is materially. And in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla every minute, every breath is a treasure for us. Once it is gone. When money is gone, it may come back but when a breath, a life is gone, it cannot return. Therefore, we have to know its value and not be heedless. May Allāh protect everyone from doing useless work, from going to useless places, bad places, in shā'a Llāh. When a person is in a good place, he should not forget that he is always under Allāh's gaze and is always with Allāh. Who doesn't forget this is not heedless. He is always winning. Prophet he making this du‘ā’ Allāhumma a‘inna ‘alá dhikrika wa shukrika wa ḥusni ‘ibādatika wa lā taj‘alna mina l-ghāfilīn Meaning, O our Lord, help us to be remember You, to thank You, to be, to make nice beautiful
worshipping. These three are very important. And more important than this - don't let us to be heedless. Don't let us to be heedless. It is very important because this life we are doing, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, who believer they can make good worshipping, thanking for Allāh and mentioning name of Allāh. But many time they are heedless. One second you are with Allāh after you going to some, your mind going to other place or you working something. You forget and you be heedless.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create us and He give us everything: hand, foot, you can go here, there, travelling. You eat, drink, enjoy but He said, don't forget, don't be heedless. Every time must be remember Allāh to be knowing He is every second with us. Every minute with us, every time He is looking for us but cannot go any place without Him. This is, if you remember this you will be from good, happy people.
Prophet very important duā’ very important praying this. Short but it is real. We need very much this because you know our life it is precious. Money, if you lose money maybe you can bring again, maybe you can bring more money. Sometimes people they lose money but they after they become more. But from your life, if you lose one minute, one second, you cannot bring again. This only very limited. So it is more important than money, more important than everything. Your time to not be heedless. If you are every time with remembering you will be the most happy in next life because you are whole time with your Creator. When you remember this so you must, you meaning this, you are loving your Creator. And when somebody with his with loving Him, he will be whole time happy. He whole time with bless from Allāh. When you happy with Allāh, you love Allāh, He will love you also.
This is very short but Mā shā’Allāh Prophet He was making ḥadīth short but he is oceans of meaning. In shā’a Llāh for this Ramaḍān day Allāh accept this duā’ of Prophet for us also. To be from this people, to be remember, to not be heedless, in shā’Allāh.

106.THE MOST FORGIVING Thursday, 8 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 saying Qur’ān: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa law annahum idh ẓalamū anfusahum jā’uka fastaghfarū Llāha wastaghfara lahumu l-rasūlu lawajadū Llāha tawwāban raḥīmā."(4:65) He says if people oppress themselves - how can a person oppress himself? Oppression is doing bad deeds, committing sins, cruelty. Who are you oppressing? You oppress yourself first of all. Allāh doesn't oppress you. You oppress by yourself. We oppress, then regret it. What shall we do?
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying if you come to our Prophet, our Prophet will ask forgiveness for you. You should repent. And our Prophet will ask forgiveness for you from Allāh. Allāh is forgiving and merciful, very forgiving and very merciful. He has endless forgiveness. You can oppress yourself and commit sin as much as you do, Allāh will forgive. As long as you repent, He forgives.
For the honor of our Prophet, He opened that door for ummati Muḥammad,. "Raḥīmā" (4:65). And that is very merciful. Merciful, His mercy is endless. Therefore, nobody should be desperate and hopeless. If you commit a sin, make tawbah immediately so that your sin is erased and Allāh writes for you thawāb (reward) in return. Because you have acknowledged your sin and repented Allāh will forgive you and your sin will be converted into thawāb. There is nothing better than this.
If you make a mistake in dunyā, nobody will forgive you. You will carry your punishment for sure. After you're done with your punishment, most people won't even approach you. "He was a bad man." "He paid for it. Let it be." But people won't care. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is not like this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla forgives your sin. And as a favour to you, He will write it as thawāb for you. You should know its value. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us such favours, He gave us such kindness that this beautiful condition... Just think if all our sins are not forgiven, how difficult it will be. You will be held accountable for them. You will pay a lot for it. Therefore, we should make shukr to Allāh for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has endless mercy. Thousands of shukr.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying in this surah, in Qur’ān: A‘ūdhu biLlāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r- rajīm bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Wa law annahum idh ẓalamū anfusahum jā’uka fastaghfarū Llāha wastaghfara lahumu l-rasūlu lawajadū Llāha tawwāban raḥīmā."(4:65) Ayet yanlış da şimdi ayetleri yanlış da okusan. What we read I don't know if read right but I think, but in Qur’ān even when you read something maybe you miss some word or you forget something it is ok. Allāh He has angel to correct it. It is preserved - Qur’ān nothing can change for it. For this no matter for Qur’ān when you are, maybe saying one word less, one word wrong. So Allāh it is for Qur’ān it's ok you can. Allāh there is angel to correct it. But for ḥadīth you must say it as what Prophet saying or you said as Prophet he said. We don't know exactly. But for Qur’ān like this.
So this in this āyah is saying, O believer, if you oppress yourself what you do. How can somebody oppress himself? Everybody they like themselves, their body, their everything. They are happy with this. Nobody likes to oppress himself. But oppress himself - to make wrong, to make bad deed. To make sins, to make sins it is oppress. First thing you oppress - yourself. So what we must do? Allāh saying if they come to you and they repent and ask forgiveness and Prophet ask for them forgiveness, they will find Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla very forgiving, the most forgiving, most merciful. Nobody can be like Him. He will forgive you and even He will give you reward you because you ask for forgiveness and you come to right way. He will change the mistake, sins, to reward for you. It is very merciful Allāh. No anything, anybody can do this.
In life many people they are making mistake or making something if they catch them they will be charged and they will be taking their punishment. Even they ask for forgiveness, nobody listening for them. "I'm repent I will don't not I will not do this again. Please don't let me in jail. Don't beat me, don't do this, don't". No nobody listening for him. They will punish and after when they punish even after punishment the people around them, nobody like to be with them. Nobody take them to work. Nobody to help them. It is like this but for Allāh what you everything Allāh forgive. And He is reward you for your repenting. So it is something very good. He must be very happy because if you imagine if Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla not forgive us and everything we will be ask for, it will be horrible.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh Prophet saying for one ask him, "if I do wrong, I ask for forgiveness from Allāh He forgive me?" Prophet say: "yes." After he ask him again. Ok again "He will forgive you" he said. He was asking many times and Prophet "if you ask hundred time, it's same it will be" he said. As much you can you do Allāh will forgive you when you ask for forgiveness.
So you are must be very happy and very hopeful, no be sad for life of real life. Allāh, in shā’Allāh, when we coming to His divinely presence we will be, in shā’Allāh, by shafā‘at
Prophet very clean. This is our belief. We are happy with people to be forgive them Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Not like envious people, they like people to go to hell. No, we are like people to repent and to ask for forgiveness from Allāh to be in jannah, in paradise. Al- ḥamdu liLlāh we are happy with His Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla's Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla good tiding for us. Every time, every minute this good tiding going around, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
107.THE COMPANIONS OF BADR Friday, 9 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 saying "Wa-mā n-naṣru illā min ‘indi Llāhi inna Llāha
‘azi
un ḥakīm." (8:10) Alla
‘Azza wa Jalla sent our Prophet during Ramaḍa
like this
between the 11th and the 17th. Our Prophet went to his first battle. The battle of Badr. Holy Badr became a great victory for our Prophet. Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla granted the promised victory to our Prophet. Our Prophet had suffered for thirteen years. After being oppressed by his tribe, being patient and going to Madin̄ ah, at the end an order came for resistance. An order came to our Prophet to fight the kaf̄ ir, to make jihād. There were made several battles like this but the battle of Badr was such a great battle and the first one.
The battle of Badr is the battle of miracles. Because from ṣaḥābah, 313 are ṣaḥābah of Badr. 305 joined the battle and 8 were assigned duty in Madi ah by our Prophet. Altogether it makes 313. And they had their share from the spoils. The booty doesn't matter, just worldly material. Allāh granted them the highest rank. Ṣaḥabah are the highest people of ummah. And among them there are ‘Ashara Mubashshara, four khalīfahs, azwāji ṭāhirah̄ , and then come these 313 ṣaḥābah of Badr. For them Hell fire is forbidden. They won't enter hell. There are ḥadīth of our Prophet. They are the highest of ṣaḥābah. And there are ‘Ashara Mubashshara inside them.
As our Prophet says to Jibri ‘alayhi s-salām, not only them but also 5000 angels were sent by Allah̄ to this battle. And those angels are the highest among angels. As they participated in the battle of Badr, they were favoured too, shukr to Allāh. And if the names of ṣaḥābah of Badr are written and kept, there will be barakah. And if there is a problem or an unsolved situation, it will be solved.
Our Prophet, as we said, trusted in Allāh and by carrying out Allāh's order went on this jihād. To make an example for ummah there, he didn't say "Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is my Protector. I don't have to do anything". Our Prophet didn't say so. He made sajdah and prayed till the morning and worshipped so that people do the same. Because du‘ā’ is important too. It is the weapon of Muslims. They should do it. Then the victory is
from Alla . "Wa-mā n-naṣru illā min ‘indi Llāh." (8:10) The victory is in the presence of Alla . granted the victory to our Prophet Allāh.
During that Ramaḍan̄ that was the first victory for the Muslims. Allāh's help is with Muslims until Qiyāmah, with the true Muslims, with those who have no evil inside them had been patient for 13-14 years. He against Isla and Muslims. Our Prophet suffered a lot. And they were preventing people to become Muslim. They were sending news everywhere: "Don't believe. We are his family, his tribe but we don't believe him". This battle was not only for booty, not for gold or silver or whatever there was. It was for Islām. And it was for Allāh. And He made it happen.
Alla helped them. There was both physical and spiritual help. Because unbelievers were more than 1000 people. Their horses more than 100, camels more than 700. And Muslims were only 300 with 3 horses and they had a few camels. That was it. There was nothing. There was no armour. As Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla wanted, He helped them. He sent them angels. One angel was enough to destroy all of them. But with mercy of our Prophet, in order that they might become Muslim in the future, Alla punished only the fierce ones, those who were harmful for Islam̄ and Muslims, in front of ṣaḥābah and angels. Because when angels hit... As they never fought before, Allah̄ ‘Azza wa Jalla "Fa- ḍribū fawqa l-a‘nāqi wa-ḍribū minhum kulla banān." (8:12) He ordered the angels to hit on their necks. Because the angels had never fought before, Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla gave them such inspiration. When an angel hit - a Muslim said "Just as I was about to hit the unbeliever, his head went one way and his body another way". An Angel was hitting him. But as we said, they did this to who deserved it. Otherwise, Alla ‘Azza wa Jalla sent down 1000 angels, then 3000, then 5000 angels so that those angels have their favour. They are more virtuous among the other angels.
And among Muslims, the ṣaḥābah of Badr are very precious. May Allāh be pleased with them. May we have their blessing, in shā’Allāh. May we walk on their way. Their way is the good way. Because all of them are the greatest of ṣaḥābah. They have no mistakes. Because some had sins and their past sins were forgiven. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla forgave their past and future. That's why, they are protected from sin.
Today al-ḥamdu liLla
14th of Ramaḍa
and in these days Prophet he settle in Madīnah,
first battle for him. These days it was, between 12th of Ramaḍan̄ until 17th or 18th something - ghazwah of Badr. We say ghazwah when Prophet He is fighting in this. So this is the first one and it is real blessed one. And who was in this battle with ṣaḥābah, companion of Prophet, they are the most perfect and most acceptable companion of Prophet. Because there is one hundred twenty four thousand ṣaḥābah but each one they have level. This Badr companion they are the most highest station and they are three hundred thirteen three hundred thirteen, three hundred five, They come with Prophet for this war, battle. And eight Prophet he appoint them in Madin̄ ah to keep security or
to for looking after people. And this, with this becoming for three hundred thirteen. And they are all of them the most high station.
Prophet he said all my companions like star but this is they are more. Because the many ḥadīth saying these companions who fighting with Prophet they was also from angel. Five thousand angel fighting also with Prophet in this battle. And they are also the highest station between angels. Because they are also Aṣḥābu l-Badr, companion of Badr. They are also companion of Prophet from angel. And they was, Allāh give them, send them for help for Prophet to make his... One angel he was enough for to finish all
this enemy. No He, need for five thousand but for generous for make fakha honour Prophet send him five thousand from angels.
ah, to
This, who will coming for fighting Prophet, they was very strong army. More than thousand non-believer, five, seven hundred camel, (five) hundred horse and with dira‘ shields but Prophet and his companion only three horses, maybe five camels and only the, even they don't have, all this army, any weapons. With stone, with stick they was fighting. So al- ḥamdu liLlāh Alla He send this angel but for mercy of Prophet he didn't want them to finish this people. Only finish the most harmful for Islām, for Muslim - seventy, the dinosaur from this people. They are no mercy, they have, they are very proud, they are very no mercy. Every badness it was with them. Only this seventy people they deserve to be killed and only this. Other they catch seventy four capture them. After they leave them also.
And it was miracle whole this battle many miracle. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla show us Prophet And Allāh He, he was whole night praying and giving for sujūd, asking help from Alla know this but this is for us to be know every time to ask from and he is helping him Allāh. Ask help don't be lazy. Allāh He happy with you when you ask Him. Not like people, if you ask some people once, twice, third time he will be fed up from you. But Allāh He is happy as much you can ask Him He is more happy. So this is also lesson for us.
And this ṣaḥābah three hundred thirteen we are asking anything, if anything happen you can read the name and ask from Allāh for barakah of this people to make this problem finish, to what you want to get, you get, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh bless them because, this also ḥadīth, they will not go, no one of this going to hell, only in Jannah. And they was forgive them before and after because if you are done something you ask forgiveness you, Allah̄ forgive you for what you done - not what you will do. But for these ṣaḥabah, Allāh He was forgive them for whole life and generous them to good tiding they will be in Jannah all of them.
We asking for ummati Muḥammad for them to help us, to send us, in shā’Allāh Imām
Mahdī (as) to make this world beautiful, clean from every badness. Now every everything becoming dirty in this world. Need somebody to clean it. Allāh send him, in shā’Allāh, for this ṣaḥābah Aṣḥābu l-Badr, in shā’Allah̄ . Allāh save you from every
badness and keep you safe, in shā’Alla Prophet, tarīqah.
. And make you to spread this nice good way of
Tarīqah, is way for Prophet. And to make be people understanding not to
misunderstand ṭari shā’Allāh.
ah. Ṭarīqah it is real pleasure for Muslim and human being, in
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
108.THE VALUE OF AL-FATIHAH Saturday, 10 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 granted many favours to our Prophet and our Prophet is giving these favours to his ummah. He is giving to those who ask. He says "Take it". Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the most Generous. And among the creatures, no one is more generous than our Prophet. Anything he was given, our Prophet would give away. In addition to physical things, all universes belong to our Prophet, there are some spiritual favours. And from them is what is called "as-sab‘an mathānī" - seven good things - This is the first sūrah of Qur’ān, al-Fātiḥah. This sūrah was given to our Prophet.
There is before and after it. It is such a great sūrah that our Prophet says in ḥadīth, Sūratu l-Fātiḥah is more valuable than Zabūr, Torah, Injīl and Qur’ān. It is so precious. He says if you put Qur’ān on one tray of the scale and put Sūratu l-Fātiḥah on another tray, Sūratu lFātiḥah will weigh seven times more. Shukr to Allāh, in Qur’ān we read daily and in our prayers I think not less than 100 times. It is such a great favour. We read it without realizing its value. Therefore, we have to know its value and make shukr to Allāh. It is shifā’. When recited to the sick, it becomes a cure. People in difficult conditions, whatever problems they have, if they recite it and make du‘ā’; they make du‘ā’ and recite Fātiḥah so that it is accepted. And Allāh accepts it.
With permission of Allāh, it is the first sūrah of Qur’ān, it is the ornament of Qur’ān. It is a very big gift to ummati Muḥammad and first of all to our Prophet. It is very precious for us, the most precious gift. Because the material gifts don't go with you when you pass away but gifts like this, spiritual gifts, granted to you will be with you until Qiyāmah. They will be useful. It is the ornament of Qur’ān. It is the head of Qur’ān. And it is a grant to our Prophet. Allāh has given gifts according to his value.
May Allah make these favours last for us, in shā’Allāh. May He make us from those who appreciate, in shā’Allāh.
We are thanking Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla for what He give for our Prophet. He is most honourable between all creatures and he is most generous. Allāh give him as what his value because he is most valued - give him everything, every good thing. But there is
one thing, it is more valuable - Sūratu l-Fātiḥah. First sūrah of Qur’ān, we are reading this every day, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. It is very precious. Prophet saying this sūrah it is more precious than Zabūr, Tawrāh, Injīl, and Qur’ān. From four holy book it is more precious.
Very small sūrah, seven verses, but Allāh He give this value for this and keep it for Prophet Sayyidinā Muḥammad. Not giving to any Prophet before him. And the Prophet also saying if Qur’ān put in one for scale, Qur’ān in one side, other side Sūratu lFātiḥah - Sūratu l-Fātiḥah it is seven times stronger than whole Qur’ān. So we are ignorant people, not knowing value. It is reading like this every time. But is very valuable thing and Allāh give for our Prophet. And Prophet - the more generous Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla - and among whole creatures our Prophet is the most generous. Even not leaving anything for his living. When somebody coming, material thing quickly giving. He was giving for this spiritual gift, he is also happy with this for his ummah - to distribute and to make people get benefit from this. He is very happy al-ḥamdu liLlāh.
We are thanking Allāh, thanking Prophet for this and it is shifā’ cure, give cure. When you read this Allāh cure you from illness, from bad thing, and keep you safe. For this we every day maybe we read hundred times Fātiḥah but without knowing - from Qur’ān, from praying, from du‘ā’. After du‘ā’ making this because when you say Fātiḥah after praying, after du‘ā’, Allāh accept this. And He al-ḥamdu lillāh He is putting - Allāh want us to be get benefit from everything - and He put the most important sūrah after every du‘ā’ you must read this Fātiḥah. We are thanking Allāh for this.
Without any difficulty He giving us - just you be believe. "Me love Me and love Prophet I have whole thing, whole generous for you. I am not, I am not in need for anything." saying Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla only He is wish to human being to accept Him and take from His gifts endless treasure, endless mercy, endless happiness. This is what Allāh promise us. Allāh promise this in Qur’ān He say. And other side, most of human being they are going for another promise. What promise? Shayṭān promise. He promise you miserable. He promise you sadness. He promise you every bad thing. And people they are running for this and leaving the good thing. Allāh make our eyes and our heart to open, to know reality, and coming after reality, in shā’Allāh, after happiness, after beauty, and after whole good thing, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
109.KEEP FROM BAD THOUGHTS Sunday, 11 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, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, says "Yā ayyuhā l-ladhīna āmanū jtanibū kathīran mina ẓ-ẓanni inna ba‘ḍa ẓ- ẓanni ithmun." (49:12) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling not to think badly. People may have waswasah (whispering) "This man is harming me. This man doesn't like me." They make waswasah and feel hatred against that man. Therefore, thinking badly is not good. You should cover everything in a good way. Many people come here with such complaints. They say "This man is putting a spell on me". What spell? A man is completely clean. He has nothing to do with you. Shayṭān puts waswasah inside people. "I saw in a dream that he is harming me. What shall I do?" He is therefore ready to get into fight with him, to beat him. Some people go so far. That's why you must explain everything away in a good way, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Stay away from bad thoughts and assumptions. Bad thoughts make a man uncomfortable and worried. It is possible that a man has difficulties in his life by the will of Allāh and he makes it even worse with such thoughts. You should look on the bright side. It is a test. It comes from Allāh. It has nothing to do with other people. All people now are saying they have had a spell put on them. You look at them, you... I don't want to say it or belittle you, but why would someone want to put a spell on you? You are not worth the money which it costs for doing it. We are saying it here. Don't think big of yourself. You should be humble to be able to say "Who would put a spell on such a poor man as me? Who can deal with it?" in order not to say there is black magic.
The biggest sign of the end of times is that nobody sees the faults in himself. They want to blame on others. And then they see them as enemies. And Muslims are brothers, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Don't have enmity. Don't think badly. Don't keep bad thoughts. Therefore, if you want to be in peace, stay away from these things. Don't get involved in things according to your mind which you can regret later. It is the life of dunyā. Dunyā is a place of tests, not of spells or magic, or something else. If there is actually something, it can be evil eye. And for that every day in the morning recite 7 Āyatu l-Kursī and āyah against evil eye. Give your ṣadaqah. With Allāh's permission nothing will happen. It has its cure, shukr to Allāh. And spells and magic, they don't exist. We mean, it is not
something to be dealt by everyone. It is a very rare thing and it's hard to find. As we said, it is nothing but bad thoughts and assumptions.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla say in Qur’ān: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismi Llāhi rRaḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Yā ayyuhā l-ladhīna āmanū jtanibū kathīran mina ẓ-ẓanni inna ba‘ḍa ẓẓanni ithmun" (49:12) Allāh saying O believer be careful and be away from bad thought. Bad thought, lot of bad thought - don't. Be away from a lot of bad thought even little bit also. It is dirty and it is not good for you.
Nowadays people they are whole time thinking this - from nothing they make and make big problem for themself. For people they are not doing anything for them they make by themself. They saying "this man he making for me bad thing." What is this man is away from you. What he will do for you? "No I saw this in a dream and I feel and he is doing this for me." This is every day we have many people coming to say this. And we are saying, don't put your this bad thought in yourself so you will be not rest, not restful. You will be every time anxious and stressed and thinking bad thing for people.
You must think this man, many people, we are saying this to make them wake up. Not look for them they are not so high. Who are you? Why this man he will make bad thing for you? You must thought this. You must be humble - "I'm very poor man. Who will be come and make for me black magic and any bad thing?" But to put your bad thought on yourself for your brother, believer and Allāh saying be brothers, don't be enemy for believer. Believers they are brothers. Allāh accept them like this and no enemy between brothers. So it is thought from ego, from shayṭān making this in yourself and your whole life it will be miserable.
When you see something, of course our life here in dūnya in this world, it is not paradise here. Some people, every people they have each one, rich or poor, they have problem for themself. Allāh give everybody from this. So don't blame others. Just be satisfied and say this is from Allāh and this is our life. It will be sometimes nice, sometimes not so well. So we must be patient, not to put. What will they do people? The easiest thing. They not accept anything wrong from themself. They put blame on other people. This is not good thought. Good thought what Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying "liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ‘amalā" (67:2) "We are puting you in this world and you will be make your test for you to see who is better than others." Who better than others to every time he can put a blame or accept what going in his life. Not putting bad thought for other people and make them enemy for this. It is real sometimes illness. Sometimes from themself they can cure themself, but sometimes even coming more and more. It need maybe doctor to cure them.
From beginning everything you thought good, don't thought bad. "Inna ba‘ḍa ẓ-ẓanni ithmun" (49:12) And even a small thought, small thought it is wrong, beginning from
small thing. Take out of this bad thought from your head from your heart and be happy, in shā’Allāh. Allāh make it easy for everybody because everybody, as we said, sometimes there is one saying people not accepting fault for themself, even they give them by gold jacket. That not accepting. If they say this fault for you but it is gold - no no I don't want this even. Not accepting, any people, fault. Allāh make us to accept and to be humble; to not say ourself - everybody can want bad thing for us, they trying to make black magic, they doing thing. To make black magic it is nearly impossible. Very very few and what is very few, they cannot be acceptable.
Only for bad eyes and for bad eyes you must read seven times Āyatu l-Kursī every day and read for bad eyes āyah and Ikhlāṣ, Qul a‘udhu bi-rabbi l-falaq, Qul a‘udhu bi-rabbi n-nās, and give sadaqa and go. For yourself and your family. In shā’Allāh you be safe from even from this also. Allāh save us from every badness. Especially from bad thought, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
110.BE OF THE NATION OF IBRAHIM Monday, 12 June 2017
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 made us honourable. He favoured us. Among other creatures, He created mankind on the highest level. A Muslim man possesses humility. That is a good manner. True Muslims have that. A man who worships dunyā, a man who runs after dunyā, has no humility. He has no humility but a different thing which is bad and low. Allāh put you on a high level and you are putting yourself down. That is not acceptable. How does a person fall down? When he moves away from the true way his level becomes lower and lower. And he starts to go down. Moreover, he can go down very deep.
Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla is saying: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-man yarghabu ‘an millati Ibrāhīma illā man safiha nafsah." (2:130) Who doesn't follow the nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, who doesn't respect Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, makes himself worthless. Worthless is the person without value, a useless man without reputation. He has no dignity in the sight of Allāh. He may have the whole world but he has no value. The nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām - all of us Muslims are from the nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla says "I chose Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi ssalām and increased him". And you are given the honor to be from his nation. You should keep that honor. If you say "I am not from his nation. I don't want it", you belittle yourself. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām was not Jewish or Christian. Allāh ’Azza wa Jalla says he was Muslim and he is the grandfather of the grandfather of our Prophet. Because he comes from his generation, his fathers and grandfathers are from his nation. And the nation of our Prophet is from the nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, from that great nation. It is the nation raised by Allāh.
Mankind is raised when being with Allāh, they are raised when they follow Allāh's orders and they are degraded when they come against Allāh. They become worthless and low. They lose value. Shayṭān and his followers in contrast, do whatever dirt and embarrassment there is. They become famous. To become famous, they do all kinds of dirt and worthless things. They are famous but by being famous they are not saved from worthlessness. They become more worthless and lower. They have no value at all. You should go high. Your level is high. Allāh has opened for you to reach high, so that you reach up high. He doesn't want you to go down. Humility is different, worthlessness is different. Humble are people who are this way for Allāh. No need to show humbleness
for worthless people because the more you show humbleness, the more they get crazy - they assume they are something. Don't give them any value. Allāh didn't give them value. Value those who are valued by Allāh. You will be valued too, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He honour us create human being, they honour them, make them the most high station between creatures. "Wa-laqad karramnā banī Ādama fi l-barri wa lbaḥri." (17:70) Even in sea and in land, everywhere Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He honour human being. And this honour we have to be humble. Humble it is nice, very good attribute for Muslim, for believer. When you see some believer they have know something and they becoming proud, it is not so nice. But we are happy with this what Allāh give us. And He honour between human being. "Inna Llāha iṣṭafá Ādama wa Nūḥa wa-āla Ibrāhīma waāla ‘Imrāna ‘alá l-‘ālamīn." (3:33) He choose between human being the highest, the most perfect, and most what they must people follow them. And especially for Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi ssalām.
There is āyah saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-man yarghabu ‘an millati Ibrāhīma illā man safiha nafsah wa-laqadi ṣṭafaynāhu fī d-dunyā wa-innahū fī l-ākhirati lamina ṣ-ṣāliḥīn." (2:130) Allāh He said, "We choose him and who follow him, he will be with him, he will be going higher and higher. But who not caring about Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi ssalām, his nation - he said, "I don't want this" - he become no value for him. He is like safīh yani, alcak gibi. No value for him. Not only value, it is like impolite and unbeloved one, worthless - and this is real word worthless, no value for him. And when you are following Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām Allāh give you value. Make you higher and higher and higher.
And Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, who follow him they are from his nation. No difference between race. You are black, you are white, you are green, you are... Arab, you are English, you are German. No any difference. Who follow Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, he saying "I'm from his nation", he is from his nation. They was, before they was teaching in Ottoman time, we are all from nation of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s- salām Allāh He said he wasn't Jewish, he wasn't Christian. He was only Muslim. Muslim meaning, who like peace and making peace. And he living with peace. And this ancestor of Sayyidinā Isḥāq, Ya‘qūb, Ismā‘īl from coming until Sayyidinā Hārūn, Mūsá and Prophet, all coming from Sayyidinā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām.
And when you are following, you happy with him, you be higher but you are not following, doing against him, you will be worthless. Even you have everything, even you have whole countries, whole companies, whole treasures, you are worthless, you are useless in divinely presence of Allāh. And it is the most important thing. And you follow this, you becoming more lower, more lower, more lower, by following shayṭān. And shayṭān making people, cheating people, make them to make very wrong thing to be very famous. Especially these days it is the end of time. Whole bad thing teaching in
country they are saying for them - "we are top of civilisation". But they are only going lower and lower and lower, worthless, useless. No value for them. Because if there is value, they will be living forever. They can do but they will live only short time, after they will ask and they will be regret. And who following order of Allāh and saying "I'm from nation of Ibrāhīm", he will be higher and higher.
Allāh praised him. This is the most important thing to be with who praised by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and not to be with cursed people who are inventing new thing, new dirty thing, new bad thing. No value for them. Only they becoming, trying to be lower and lower. Allāh save us from them. And to make us to know value what we are in, who is following this way of Prophet, and especially to be with Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, his nation, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
111.THE IMPORTANCE OF FASTING AND I’TIKAF Tuesday, 13 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.
The month of Ramaḍān mā shā’Allāh is passing with blessings. The half is already over. This virtuous month, from all perspectives, is the month of trading for ākhirah and thawāb. Our Prophet is saying, "Ṣawmun nawma ‘ibādah. Sukūtuhū tasbīḥ." And then, "Amaluhū muḍā‘af, du‘āuhū maqbūl, dhanbuhū maghfūr." Aw kamā qāl. As our Prophet said: the sleep of a fasting man is worship. Our Prophet is saying this. So that it is helpful, you can sleep before ‘aṣr. After ‘aṣr it is makrūh - sleeping is not good. If you sleep before, it gives strength for worshipping and it is a worship as our Prophet says. You sleep and have rest and Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla writes it as worship for you. How nice. You are silent and by being doing nothing just being silent, tasbīḥ is written for you - it is as if you make tasbīḥ. If you do voluntary good deeds, it is written several times more, not twice. Allāh knows how much. He says muḍā‘af, which means multiple times. And then dhanb, sins, are forgiven. There was a fifth part as well but we forgot it because of fasting.
How nice is our religion. How nice is our Creator. How nice is our Prophet. They are granting us so many favours. You do the least. A man is fasting and that is nice too. For a person to control his ego, fasting is a worship and a means to capture his ego. It is a very good thing. Shukr to Allāh, we have completed more than half of it. And there is another worship after this. Who wants can do. What is this worship? It is farḍ. But what we mean by farḍ, there is Farḍ al-‘Ayn which must be done by everyone - like fasting, praying, zakāh for those who can give, ḥajj. Everyone who is able should do these. And there is Farḍ al-Kifāyah which if one person does it, other people are released from it. If no one does it, it will be written as a sin for everyone since the farḍ was not done. And who does it makes farḍ. And he is doing it in Ramaḍān. He will have carried out Allāh's order and have made voluntarily made a farḍ which can't be made by everyone.
A reward for Allāh's farḍ can't be compared to nafl or sunnah. Our Prophet is saying, if you intentionally miss one day of fasting in Ramaḍān and then regret it, even if you fast without a break from when you are 20 till you are 90, you won't reach its reward. The reward of farḍ is that big. Therefore, as we said, this I‘tikāf, making I‘tikāf during the last 10 days of Ramaḍān in a mosque or masjid is Farḍ al-Kifāyah. Who makes it makes farḍ.
And who doesn't make it is released since someone else makes it. Of course, who is able should do everywhere. There is permission. And it is not like khalwah. Khalwah is heavy. This one, as it is made by everyone and they make farḍ, it feels easier for people. And Allāh helps them. And they receive as much reward. Who wants can do. May Allāh accept it. May Allāh let everyone do it. May we be able to do, in shā’a Llāh. For ladies, it must be done at home. They shouldn't go outside their homes. It's even better if they have a separate room for praying. They can cook for their children, then go back to their worship. They can't go out. And for men, they should do it in a mosque. They should stay in the mosque and go out for ablution. They can eat in the mosque, if allowed. If not, they should eat and go back to the mosque immediately and stay always there. 10 days must be like this, in shā’Allāh.
We said it timely because tomorrow night after maghrib adhān it should be started. You should make intention for I‘tikāf. And you go on I‘tikāf until the first day of ‘Īd or until the eve of ‘Īd, until ‘arafah. And who ends it on ‘Īd, it is better. We are al-ḥamdu liLlāh nearly we fast most more than half of Ramaḍān. It is nice thing Ramaḍān. Allāh make it for us little bit difficult but He reward us not double, triple, more than hundred times, thousand times. He give more what you do one reward, not one reward, ten reward, hundred thousand reward also. And it is for make, to make us who are fasting, everything Allāh give them. Prophet saying, who sleeping of fasting, who fast it is worship. Because Prophet he say to in ḥadīth to be more easy for you to fasting, sleep in daytime also. You can sleep until ‘aṣr but after ‘aṣr don't sleep. Because makrūh and not good. Making disease for who are sleeping after ‘aṣr. Many people they are not looking for this. They are sleeping after ‘aṣr, it is not good. Even you feel sleepy, don't sleep. Until ‘aṣr, until four o'clock or half past four, before adhān ‘aṣr you must be wake up. And you can sleep this what you sleeping Allāh make writing reward for you. And to be sitting without doing anything silent, Allāh accept this as you make tasbīḥ. And what you done from good thing, worshipping, charity, helping people, every good thing, Allāh make it muḍā‘af - multiply beginning from ten times to until thousand times, even more. Allāh knows this. And He make your sins to be forgiven. And your du‘ā’ mustajāb (answered), your praying acceptable. Praying to ask for something from Allāh, for fasting people acceptable. It is little bit difficult for everybody but it is worth to make it because everything, whole month, even when you are sleeping day or night also you sleeping, they not saying day or night. Also when you sleeping daytime your sleeping all worshipping. Allāh accept this. And your silence also. So whole month al-ḥamdu liLlāh He give us from His reward. And His blessing every good thing.
And it is fas
