Suhbah 2017: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (13/25)

ion to dergah to visit Mawlānā. So shayṭān he is not happy, he is sending his people to make them to cheat them. There is no any excuse to use bad thing. You must be patient, you must be fight against your bad habit. You cannot say "this from my nature." Nature it is clean. When you are here you must be following. Don't look to anyone telling you something you cannot understand, you cannot believe. And you must try to take this, what you have from bad habit, from smoking, drinking, or using other thing, to make it try to finish it. Because many people with barakah of Mawlānā was get rid it of this. But shayṭān and his followers they are trying to cheat people, saying, "This good for you. This is make your spirit high." Never you can say this what, small [or a] lot, it make you drunk. It is forbidden, even small thing. This people, shayṭān people. We are coming here we are training to make ourself to be patient, to be in right way. Accepting right
way. All time it was like this and there is in Qur’ān in every place example from this. Especially one example it's very important and people they are reading but they are not knowing what wisdom. There is, it was war between, in time of... before Dāwūd, in time of Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām, but he wasn't yet Prophet. Prophet that time was his name is Shāmwīl (as). And the people, sons of Isrā'īl they are coming to him, "O Prophet, ask your God, your Lord, to send us king to fight against non-believer." They ask, they ask. At the end he ask Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla tell him this commander and king for you, he is Ṭālūt (Saul). And they was not accepting him. But it is take long time and there is many miracle - at the end they accept him. And he is prepared to going to war. He said "who I don't want - old one, children, or people they have work, trader or they are who new married. I don't want anyone of this. Only I want who don't have anything to make him busy. He can come to fight with me." And it was quite a lot of people they come with him, nearly eighty thousand people. And he trained them and he said we are going now to fight this Jālūt.
God, your Lord, to send us king to fight against non-believer." They ask, they ask. At the end he ask Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla tell him this commander and king for you, he is Ṭālūt (Saul). And they was not accepting him. But it is take long time and there is many miracle - at the end they accept him. And he is prepared to going to war. He said "who I don't want - old one, children, or people they have work, trader or they are who new married. I don't want anyone of this. Only I want who don't have anything to make him busy. He can come to fight with me." And it was quite a lot of people they come with him, nearly eighty thousand people. And he trained them and he said we are going now to fight this Jālūt.
Jālūt he was oppressor king. He is from huge people from old time - he was quite long, big one. And they take their army from Jerusalem going toward east. In east it is dry and they was thirsty and they were asking for water. He said, "be patient. After it will be we find." After maybe three, four days, they nearly reach to big river. He said "who will drink from this river he will be not with me. He will be go back to where he come. Who will like to be with me he must not drink from this. Even he drink only one handful of water. Other who drink more than handful they must go back." When they see river, whole of them jumping, drinking. This is what it is this people who they don't have any control for their ego. Quickly when they see easy thing going there. And it was only three hundred ten people they was left without drink or they drink only one handful of water and they cross river. Other they cannot cross river they go back. But what happen? Who drink from this water he is, they are not, they are still thirsty. Still even their lips become dark. This is what for this people who are, they try to make their ego to full with bad thing - never satisfied. They want more more and more and it is only not good.
Only three hundred ten people they cross with Ṭālūt and with prophet. And they was Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām, his father, also prophet and with his ten from his brothers - also
all of them they cross this river. And Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām he was, he have miracle and he only has stone. They throw stone with rope. And he said I say to his father "O my father I throw, I can kill with this." Said his father, "good this". And when he come from, in road he find one stone. He [stone] said, "O Dāwūd I'm stone from Hārūn ‘alayhi s- salām. He killed somebody, some Kāfir from this. After he find one stone again. He said to him "I'm from Mūsá ‘alayhi ssalām" also he killed some king of non-believer and the third one also. He take them put them in his bag. And when he come to, he was bring them with him to fight there.
And Jālūt he come, Jālūt with huge army. Some people saying maybe hundred thousand army, some of them saying three hundred thousand army and when this people they saw this huge army, even this what they left, three hundred ten people, "we cannot do anything". But the believer, real believer, they said, don't say this "kam min fi’atin qalīlatin ghalabat fi’atan kathīrah" (2:249) This Āyah: "How many time small believer they won on huge army." And by blessing of Allāh first this Jālūt he come, he said "who can fight with me?" He was huge. Nobody going to him after he say, nobody. Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām he said, I'm going and Ṭālūt, the king of Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām, he give him horse and give him sword and he was going with this. After he remember, he come back to his army. People they thought he is running away from him, from Jālūt. But he said, "no I don't want this [sword]. I have a special weapon. I will kill him with this." And he throw, put his three stones in one, they become one and he put in his rope and he throw. And Allāh order wind to help him and wind coming to through his head, Jālūt's head. Coming through head, going out and killing thirty people also with him. And after this, this army, they was very afraid, they run away all of them.
This is when somebody like to be in right way he mustn't make excuse for himself to do any wrong thing. To not listen to any shayṭān, to be with Allāh only. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are, who coming here for Allāh, Allāh He help him. But who this some shayṭān coming, they will be punished by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Because shayṭān and his followers they are cursed. And curse it is not good thing. But we are in Ramaḍān and who have some bad intention must clean his heart and make repent for Allāh. Allāh accept him, forgive him.

119.LAYLATU L-QADR Thursday, 21 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 "Shahru Ramaḍāna alladhī unzila fīhi l-Qur’ān." (2:185) Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) It is the month of Ramaḍān the month in which Qur’ān Karīm was sent down to our Prophet. It was sent down to Muslims as a big favour and miracle. And it was sent on Laylatu l-Qadr. "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr." Laylatu l-Qadr is better than 80 years. A thousand months make 80 years. And that is a lifetime. Some live more, some live less. People live around this age. And it is the night better than a whole life, Laylatu l-Qadr.
Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla said to our Prophet that Laylatu l-Qadr is hidden. If people knew when it is, they would pray only on that night. Their prayer would be better than a thousand months of worship. And they are lazy to pray any time else. Moreover, they might not do it. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla hid this night. It may be on any night of the year, but mostly during Ramaḍān, says our Prophet, during the last ten days of Ramaḍān. It is the custom now that it's on the 27th night most of the time. However, it is not clear if that night is Laylatu l-Qadr. But for people to have respect for it, ‘ulamā’, mashāyikh and ṣaḥābah respected the 27th night as Laylatu l-Qadr. Because if it was on any night, people would not care about it. Therefore, if a person stays awake on the 27th night and prays until saḥūr, or if he gets little rest before saḥūr, that is also counted as worship. It is counted as if he stayed awake the whole night.
When it is done with that intention, certainly Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will favour that person. It is given according to their intentions. Therefore, we'll be as if we stayed awake on Laylatu lQadr, in shā’a Llāh. Laylatu l-Qadr is a different night. Our Prophet said it is neither cold, nor hot. It is a beautiful night. Who catches this night catches the blessing of Ramaḍān. With that blessing, if a person spends Ramaḍān well, his whole year will be spent well. It will be comfortable. In shā’a Llāh, may it be blessed for all of us. And may Allāh send the Ṣāḥib (Mahdī as) to ummati Muḥammad. We pray for that as well.
May Allāh protect ummati Muḥammad. There are many fitnah. May Allāh protect from fitnah and evil. And on this night ask for forgiveness and health as a prayer. Ask for forgiveness and good health. Say "Allāhumma innā nas’aluka l-‘afwa wa l-‘āfiyah." Make
this prayer a lot on this night. These two things, a man doesn't appreciate when he has them but when there is no health, a man understands its value. Even if he is the richest man on earth, he can't do anything. And the one reaching the forgiveness of Allāh, gets happiness. It is a short prayer. Our Prophet is saying to make this prayer as it is easily memorized. As long as Allāh forgives you, Allāh gives you all blessings. As long as you are healthy, you won't need anyone. May Allāh repeat it for us. May we reach it with more honor next year. In shā’a Llāh. May we reach it with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
They ask which prayers should be made on this night. You can make up your missed prayers, you can do charity. And ṣadaqah, zakāh given during Ramaḍān is very virtuous. People can give zakāh throughout the year, but when they give in Ramaḍān, Allāh ﷻrewards it multiple times. Who can give zakāh may give. Or you can separate in Ramaḍān and give in parts later. You are counted as giving in Ramaḍān because you have separated your zakāh at that time. Its virtue will be much higher.
May Allāh give according to our intentions. May this night be holy and blessed, in shā’Allāh.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "Shahru Ramaḍāna alladhī unzila fīhi l-Qur’ānu hudan lil-nāsi wa-bayyinātin mina l-hudá wal-furqān" (2:185) and He said: "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) This holy month Ramaḍān, it is very holy month because Allāh He send the Qur’ān to His Prophet in Ramaḍān. He is, it is blessed and it is light, everything for human being [He] said. And in Sūratu l-Qadr He said: "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) meaning it is, it been sent in this night. Night of Qadr we call, it is have special name. Special night - very strong because Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh- sha’n, the miracle of Prophet, Allāh send in this night.
Which night? One night of Ramaḍān. Ramaḍān but mostly we celebrate in 27th but it is Prophet saying it is not certainly in this night. Different night you must look for this. Ṣaḥābah asking, "O Prophet tell us which night to we wake up and to not sleep." He said, Prophet, if I tell you people they will leave doing worshipping only to find one night. And doing it's enough for them because Allah said it is better than thousand months. Thousand months it is equal to eighty years and eighty years it is around age of human being maybe sixty, maybe seventy, maybe ninety. But eighty middle of people, so one night it is better than whole life. For this Allah make it secret - to people to look for this night and to try to catch it. Every day they try for this not only one day. So Allah will reward them. But people, most of the people they are making in 27th. And the holy people they were saying most of time the majority in this 27th but maybe 25th, 23rd, 21st, 29th also or 1, 10, 15 Ramaḍān - whole Ramaḍān. Can be any night. So for this people they are trying and worshipping more and more. And it is acceptable for them to not be lazy to not, to be love to worship Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla He put barakah, happiness in this night. For this night also for Ramaḍān month, whole month it
is the most blessed month between the 12 months - Ramaḍān. And Allah when people they are happy in Ramaḍān, everything good, whole year it must be good for them. And to be blessed and to be safe, in shā’Allāh. This night they are asking what ‘ibādah? You can make what you didn't pray, some pray or give your charity. And the best thing in Ramaḍān if you have, you may, you will give zakat. You can give whole year also but to give it Ramaḍān it is double reward from Allah. So if you cannot find somebody to give to, just you can keep it take it alone [separate it] from your money to write on it zakat. And it is you can distribute little by little. But Allah reward you for this. And to make ‘ibādah also to ask praying "Allāhumma innā nas’aluka l-‘afwa wa l-‘āfiyah."
Prophet telling ṣaḥābah to say this du‘ā’, praying "Allāhumma innā nas’aluka l-‘afwa wa l‘āfiyah" - meaning, ask forgiveness from You and we ask for health. The most precious thing, two things, if Allah forgive us it is everything good and if we have good health also we are in happiness. This is Prophet he saying about this, so we are this night you must repeat it many times, in shā’Allāh. And we have and pray also to be ummati Muhammad safe from every badness, from fitnah, from what happen around and especially we are asking for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salaam to be come and save Muslim and whole human being, in shā’Allāh. Because very difficult time but we are hope, because Allah by His Prophet he tell us it will be in the end of time this what happen. And after Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salaam come he will full of whole world with justice and Iman, in shā’Allāh. We hope, in shā’Allāh, next Ramaḍān to be with Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salaam in shā’Allāh.

120.HAPPINESS BY BEING THANKFUL Friday, 22 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.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying in Qur’ān: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Innā ja‘alnā mā ‘alá l-arḍi zīnatan lahā linabluwahum ayyuhum aḥsanu ‘amalan wa-innā lajā‘ilūna mā ‘alayhā ṣa‘īdan juruzan." (18:7-8) Allah created this world in perfect form.
"Fatabāraka Llāhu aḥsanu l-khāliqīn." (23:14) He created everything perfect and made it beautiful. He gave it as a home, a temporary home for people, for testing. He created beautiful things. People without minds assume it to be a permanent place, that there is no other place but this and they forgot about ākhirah. And for Muslims, Allāh made all these permitted things ḥalāl. They can use the products of dunyā for the pleasure of Allāh. They can use on the way of Allāh. It is useful. But if they use this dunyā as if they will never die and they do nothing for others, don't recognize Allāh, don't do goodness, then they are in complete loss. Our Prophet has said, "ad-dunyā dāru man lā dāra lahu". Dunyā can become home for those who don't think about ākhirah. But for people who will have palaces and castles in ākhirah there is nothing to look at in dunyā. It's not good to put it in your heart.
And at last, "Wa-innā lajā‘ilūna mā ‘alayhā ṣa‘īdan juruzan." (18:8) All these beauties you see will become dry on the day of resurrection. Neither grass, nor water will remain. It will be like a dry desert. It won't be useful then, if they understand it or not. Therefore, we should know that dunyā is a world of tests and we should use the favours given by Allāh and be thankful. With shukr, favours increase and last. And we will gain the pleasure of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying about this world "Innā ja‘alnā mā ‘alá l-arḍi zīnatan lahā linabluwahum ayyuhum aḥsanu ‘amalan wa-innā lajā‘ilūna mā ‘alayhā ṣa‘īdan juruzan." (18:7-8) "We create this world we create all universe". Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create but especially for human being it is important what Allāh create us. "Tabāraka Llāhu aḥsanu l-khāliqīn" (23:14) He is the most perfect Creator, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He create world with very good, very beautiful, everything - enough for everybody, for every creature. But people they for themself or for their selfishness they finish, they destroy, they make
it very bad. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla even He said this for people like, for test for people. "We will look who is happy, he is thankful for his Lord." And one for people who only they think it is they come by themself to this world. And they are think no more, any life after this. No, this is only for test.
Dunyā, Allāh give us. When people not knowing Allāh they will be not happy here. "Ad- dunyā dāru man lā dāra lahu." This, only in this world they can get some house because it is - in ākhirah, next life they will not find because they didn't believe; they not ask for better from this. But believer they can be use what Allāh give them from favours, from good ni‘matu Llāh. We can with ḥalāl - you can be enjoy yourself, you can from every favour from Allāh He give you. Allāh He is happy also. You can enjoy if you have opportunity, you can enjoy and you can don't forget Allāh. All time make thank for Allāh. With thanking you be, Allāh give you more and continuously giving. "Wa bi sh- shukru tadūmu n-ni‘am." Because to, if you have some good thing it is difficult to keep it. This is if you find some good place, some good thing, you can take. Don't ask, continue take and you will be blessed. And this is with thanking Allāh for what He give you, it will be continue until end of your life.
But if you be become lazy and used to it - it is normal for us. No. Every day you must thanking your Lord for everything for He give you. Specially for ni‘mati l-īmān (the favour of belief). And the end of this world also Allāh He said, "I will make it dry like desert." To see, show people it is only for this life. In Judgement day you cannot see any green, any water - only flat like desert. No shadow, shadow [shade] for believer only. You must be thankful for Allāh for what He give us to be get happiness. Happiness you can only with thanking Allāh He give you. If you are against Him you will never be happy.
Allāh keep us in His way, in shā’a Llāh. And give us from His favour. We are asking. Don't be shy from asking from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Ask what you want. No need to ask for people. Ask from Allāh, "Give me, give me, give me." It's ok. If you ask from somebody he will fed up from you. He run away from you if you say this.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
121.THE TAKBIR OF EID Saturday, 23 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.
Ramaḍān is almost over. This is the last Friday. Holy Ramaḍān is ending. Our Prophet is saying that between the prayers, from Jum‘ah to Jum‘ah, between two Ramaḍāns, He makes all sins be forgiven. If there is no big sin and no right of someone, Allāh forgives. If a person from the noon till the afternoon. There is no person without mistakes. He makes mistakes. Allāh forgives those mistakes. Then Allāh forgives mistakes, faults and sins made between Jum‘ahs. And He forgives sins made from a year to a year, from Ramaḍān to Ramaḍān. So if a man prays Ẓuhr and prays ‘Aṣr, he is forgiven. But if you don't pray Ẓuhr, don't pray ‘Aṣr or Jum‘ah, don't fast in Ramaḍān, they will pile up on you. You will answer for them on Qiyāmah. If you don't repent and ask forgiveness from Allāh in dunyā, you will carry them. And even this is by the mercy of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and our Prophet.
If you don't pray Ẓuhr and ‘Aṣr, don't pray Jum‘ah, then repent and start, everything between Ramaḍāns will be forgiven. As we said, it will be a big sin. What we mean by big sin, if there is no redemption for it, it will be forgiven. Allāh is treating people with mercy but people are not accepting. They say they don't want it. If you don't want, you know for yourself. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Yurīdu Llāhu bikumu l-yusra wa-lā yurīdu bikumu l-‘usra." (2:185) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla wishes only good for you.
We finished this Ramaḍān too. Shukr to Allāh, we are reaching ‘Īd. And on ‘Īd "wa litukabbiru Llāha ‘alá mā hadākum" you should make Takbīr. Up until the ‘Īd prayer is over, before and during it, make Takbīr after khuṭbah, then Takbīr is finished. These Takbīrs are Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar Lā ilāha illā Llāhu Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar wa liLlāhi lḥamd. There are many revelations we heard from our mashāyikh, imāms of madhāhib. There are other ones as well. But if you do this, as it is our tradition to do this... When done otherwise, people get confused. Therefore, when we make Takbīr, we are making shukr to Allāh for the favours He's given to us. The biggest favour is, may Allah protect it, may Allāh protect our īmān. We see that many people don't know these things. Or they say they don't believe. They don't do anything. If Allāh wanted, He'd make us like them. May Allāh protect us. We have to be thankful for this. Your biggest shukr is staying on the right way, being guided and obeying Allāh's orders. It's
not easy to do it. Because a man can do various things. And when it comes to worship, he can do only a little of it. And that is a favour of Allāh. We have to thank Allāh. We passed this whole holy month. May Allāh let us reach even better ones. May we reach the days when Islām rules over the world with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām and ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s- salām. This holy month is over again. In shā’a Llāh, we will reach another one. We will reach a better one, in shā’Allāh. May it be blessed, in shā’Allāh. ‘Īd Mubarak to you! May Allāh improve, guide and give understanding to ummati Muḥammad.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are, we come to one month nearly we are finished. Tomorrow or after tomorrow, the last day for Ramaḍān. In Ramaḍān, Prophet saying between two Ramaḍāns Allāh forgive what you done. Between Jum‘ah and Jum‘ah also Allāh forgive what you, your fault, your wrong thing, your sin you done. And between two time of praying Allāh also forgive you. But it is, there is one thing what He can forgive for everybody but He said to people who are knowing - if we pray Ẓuhr and between this everybody human being they are weak and they can do wrong every time. Until ‘Aṣr what he done, when he pray ‘Aṣr, Allāh He was finish this, forgive you. Between one Jum‘ah until next week Jum‘ah, also what you done He forgive you. But not there is some big sin, this need another thing to also Allāh forgive but there is another condition but for normal, every time we can do wrong, between if anything left between one Ramaḍān to another Ramaḍān, also whole year He forgive.
It is big good thing for human being. But human being they are not accepting. You are even Muslim many of them they are not knowing that not practicing. And it is, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are with this two days we will be finish and Allāh He said "yurīdu Llāha bikumu l-yusra wa-lā yurīdu bikumu l-‘usra wa-litukmilū l-‘iddata wa-litukabbirū Llāha ‘alá mā hadākum" (2:185) Allāh He want for you the best, the easy thing. Easiest, but you are, and He don't want hard thing for you. But He give us what He order us. Everybody can do if they are try. But most of people they are not trying.
And He said until you finish this fasting you must after make Takbīr. Takbīr for thank for Allāh. What thanking? We are thanking Him to He help us to be in this good way. Because many people they cannot do, even it is easy, but they cannot do. They can do thousand times more hard thing in every day, but for two minute they cannot pray, they cannot fast. Coming too difficult for them. For this we are thanking Allāh [that] He help us and He give us this big favour to be in way of Prophet and way what He love. Allāh He love believer and He said He don't love non believer. "Inna Llāha lā yuḥibbu l- kāfirīn" (3:32) He is knowing which people what they are doing; knowing everything. For this we are thanking Him. And we are make Takbīr after we finish Ramaḍān - from Fajr, after Fajr until Ṣalātu l-‘Īd. This also thanking for Him.
There is many kind of Takbīr but we normally say Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar lā ilāha illā Llāhu Allāh Akbar Allāhu Akbar Wa liLlāhi l-Ḥamd. This is ṣaḥābi Ibn Mas‘ūd he
saying this Prophet was saying. But there another kind of Takbīr also - we know this we must continue to not mix. And tomorrow, in shā’Allāh in our country they are saying after tomorrow ‘Īd. Tomorrow night also very holy night. Night of ‘Īd it is very holy night, acceptable for praying, for du‘ā’, for charity. So we, in shā’a Llāh Allāh, give us from this blessed night also. And we hope to next Ramaḍān to be more better for ummah. Allāh send us Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. Allāh give ummah, ummah of Sayyidinā Muḥammad, to make them to understand right and wrong thing because most of them they are going wrong and they thought they are going right. No. Allāh give us Imām for to show us the right way, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
122.NASIHAH FOR THE END OF RAMADAN Saturday, 24 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. May Allāh bless it, in shaAllāh. ‘Īd is coming. Today is ‘arafah, a holy day. Today is the last day of Ramaḍān. Allāh has a nice promise. When Ramaḍān is over, all our sins will be forgiven, in shaAllāh. It is beautiful good tidings. May we spend it with īmān and barakah. It is a month in which Allāh shows us grace and love because it is spent with fasting during the day and worship during the night. One more year is gone from our lifetime. People are sad on the New Year that they are one year older. And as we become closer to Allāh by our īmān in Ramaḍān, in shaAllāh, we should be happier.
Our Prophet is saying to live with good manners in this world. He says to stay away from bad characteristics. Our Prophet says there are three characteristics that destroy people. The first one is arrogance. Because of arrogance, shayṭān didn't make sajdah to Ādam (as). He was thrown away from paradise, from the presence of Allāh. The second is greed. Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām ate from the forbidden fruit because of his greed. Instead of more and better things... There was everything but out of greed, Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām ate it too. So he was taken out of paradise. And the third is envy. And that's the worst. Two sons of Ādam, one killed the other because of envy. We have to stay away from these bad characteristics. Our Prophet is warning us against them. Never approach them.
Arrogance. A person with arrogance is an idiot because Allāh created all of us. To be proud is for Allāh only. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the one who created everything. We are creatures. Allāh is the Creator. Therefore, a creature can't be arrogant to another creature. Greed is not good either. You should be patient. And it is not good to want something too much. You won't feel at peace. And envy is a totally bad thing. A person who has it lives his whole life as in hell. He envies everyone and feels jealous that others have and he doesn't. You can't have everything. Allāh created and Allāh gave. He gave to whom He wanted. Therefore we should stay away from envy.
May Allāh bless this night. The night of ‘Īd is a holy night. There are several nights in a year. Two of them are the night of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr and the night of ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. And there are 5-6 holy nights, like Laylatu l-Qadr, Raghā’ib, Mi‘rāj, Mawlid. Among these nights, these
two are holy nights. We should pay attention to them. May our prayers and ṣalāh be good, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh let us reach more years.
Today, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are reach the end of the holy month. Prophet saying when last day you are breaking fast Allāh also forgive you for everything. Whole Ramaḍān you, you are fasting. Especially for the end of this month special present from Allāh to forgive you and bless you. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are safely we reach this end and it was very nice month Ramaḍān because daytime fasting, nighttime worshipping, praying. Everything was so beautiful in this month. And in the end Allāh also He give us present for mu’min, mu’minah, and Muslim believer - for whole believer. He forgive them and He said "I'm only knowing what I give. Nobody know what I give for this." People they are who are they are fasting in Ramaḍān "ana ujzi bihi" I'm only and not tell anybody what I will give and He is the most generous. So you cannot imagine what He will give. Because we have limit and we only maybe say ten times, twelve times, hundred times, thousand times, but Allāh He is generous, you cannot imagine what He give.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, it is nice time, nice day and it is blessed night also this night. In ‘Īd night... There is few holy night in year, maybe five or seven. Two of them, one this night and one in ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá ninth of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. It is also very holy night. And Allāh accept your du‘ā’, accept your charity, your worshipping. so, in shaAllāh, we can with our intention to ask all good thing for Muslim and to be safe and to be in right way, in shaAllāh. And Prophet he said for warning ummah to not follow their some bad desires, some bad attributes they have. It must be attribute nice good behaviour. But there is three of them Prophet was saying.
First of them to be proud. Proudness make iblīs satan to not accept Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, not obey order of Allāh to make sajdah for Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. And he was kicked out from his everything he has but he from his proudness he didn't make it. So it is very bad attribute this.
Second one to be greedy. Greediness it is also bad because Sayyidinā Ādam ‘alayhi s- salām, Prophet saying he was asking more in Jannah. Everything he has but only one forbidden and he from his greediness he take it and he eat it. And also he was thrown out from paradise.
And third one, envious. It is the worst because son of Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām he killed his brother from what he was have envy. He said: "He has better than me, I must kill him."
So it was these three things, if you keep away from these Prophet saying you will be restful and you will be not doing any mistake anything. So, in shaAllāh, we try, in shaAllāh, to be away. But especially envious it is the worst. All of them worst, bad, but the envious because who it is like illness. If somebody have it, difficult to get rid of it.
And it make whole his life like hell. Even he has whole world but he has this envious he will not be restful, he will be whole time in bad misery and not happy. And it is Prophet order we must be away from this, in shaAllāh. This is also naṣīḥah (advice) for end of Ramaḍān. Allāh make this attribute away from us, in shaAllāh.

123.TWO BLESSED DAYS Monday, 25 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.
First of all we say may this ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr be blessed for all of you. May it be holy, may it be prosperous. This ‘Īd - our Prophet said two ‘Īds. One is the ‘Īd after this Ramaḍān. It's the ‘Īd for those who fast. The second one is ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. These are the ‘Īds Allāh has given us as a gift. In old times of our Prophet there were no ‘Īds. There were other special days and they were having a feast - like Nawruz. I don't know, there were some other things like Mehregan. So they were having entertainment on that day. When our Prophet came to Madīnah, he said: "Allāh gave you better than that. There are these ‘Īds. Whoever respects them, obeys Allāh's order. He will both have a feast and acquire blessings from it."
No matter how far people are from religion they still do these ‘Īds because these are the ‘Īds Allāh set. They respect these days. They congratulate each other. There comes a beauty. However much shayṭān strives, he cannot remove that. Now he has established many feasts among them. There's this feast, that feast, feast day of so and so, but the more he strives, the less he can do since the beginning. But these ‘Īds that Allāh gave to Muslims and Islām as a gift, give pleasure, give joy inside people. The others give darkness. They lead to sinning.
On the first day of ‘Īd at first there is prayer. ‘Īd prayer is performed first because it is wājib. And wājib is a great blessing. Allāh doesn't need your prayer or supplication. Allāh gave them all for His servants that they lead us to goodness. They lead to blessings. Many people actually put their forehead for prostration only because of the ‘Īd. And that is a great thing as well. Even only from ‘Īd to ‘Īd, people certainly come for this ‘Īd prayer. People remember they are Muslim. This also indicates what a gracious religion Islām is, that even at a feast it reminds people of Allāh. They remember who they are.
May Allāh make us much better, in shā’Allāh. May it be blessed and prosperous. May the coming ‘Īds be much more beautiful, in shā’Allāh.
We are saying for ‘Īd today - we are asking happy ‘Īd, in shā’Allāh. Happy for everybody because this ‘Īd feast it is gift from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla for mu’min. Only it was before,
some days for they are playing when Prophet come to Madīnah. He saw ṣaḥābah or Madīnah people they are celebrating some days. Then he said Allāh He give you instead these days, two blessed days. One for Ramaḍān, after we finish Ramaḍān and second in ‘Īdu lAḍḥá, four days. And it is blessed because when you remember this, Allāh give you blessing and He blessed it.
Since Prophet's time until now there are people they are celebrating and they are happy with this. There is shayṭān make many days to make it like feast but people still they are happy in these days - ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr, ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá - not with other. Other just making for trap for benefit for to get money or to cheat people. But this ‘Īd, Allāh make it for people for mu’min especially even who not praying. Maybe twice a year praying because it is blessed feast beginning with praying of ‘Īd, Ṣalātu l-‘Īd. Morning first thing we do, we pray ‘Īd [prayer]. After, everybody celebrate and greet every each other. Even this enough for us.
Because Allāh He is not in need for our worshipping but to make people, even twice a year to pray, He make this occasion also. It is nice occasion. And Allāh happy with people they are happy with Him. Even with ‘Īd there is some, Allāh make excuse to forgive people when they are remembering. Because He said: "fa-udhkurūnī adhkurkum" (2:152) "Remember Me I will remember you." Even twice a year. So it is, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, nice days these days. We are happy. We are asking blessings for whole nation, for Allāh give hidāyah for nations and for human being to be see this good thing, what they are shayṭān try to close to not make people to see it. Everything with wisdom. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla everything making to reach right way, to reach safe way. But people they are not, they don't have wisdom. They don't know. But even with this it is enough for them. Allāh make this next year feast better and better, in shā’Allāh, for whole ummah and for human being, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
124.THE BEGINNING OF EVERY ILLNESS Tuesday, 26 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, "Al-ma‘dah baytu l-dā’ wa l-ḥimyati ra’su d-dawā’." Ḥadīth sharīf, our Prophet says so. "The stomach is the beginning of illness and diet is the beginning of cure." The illnesses of people today have increased. And as illnesses increase people wonder what they should do. A person who controls his stomach and his ego has better health. The middle road. Don't take things too far. Our Prophet says to eat neither too little nor too much. Everything should be in the middle to have comfort.
Some people, even when they have everything, still they can't resist and they overeat. And then as everyone's body is different, some people can have serious illnesses. And when there is an illness, they should go to a doctor. However, the doctors nowadays are not like they were before. They have diplomas but most of them know nothing. They send you to have a blood test and give medicine. Medicine makes it worse instead of better. Therefore, instead of being treated with a medicine, a man should take his ego under control in the beginning. And regarding diet, most food now is made of things we don't know. It's not clear what it's made of. We should be careful about it.
They say "Mawlānā doesn't like medicine. We shouldn't take medicine." Right, Mawlānā doesn't like. But when there is a need for it. Everything has a time when it's needed and not needed. When the medicine is needed, Allāh is giving it to you. And when you don't take it, you put yourself at risk. You are responsible for this. Of course, as we said, there are some things. You can't even rely on doctors. When you need a serious medicine or something, don't rely on one doctor. You should ask several doctors. And when all of them say the same thing, then you can do it.
"Mawlānā doesn't like it. We shouldn't take medicine." There were madhouses in the old days, and there were mad patients tied with chains in madhouses. May Allāh protect us. With Allāh's grace, one medicine appeared. When they took that medicine, those people tied with a chain could walk around like normal. Idiot people are coming, saying, "Mawlānā said not to take medicine. Leave this medicine". And people leave it. It happened many times here. They broke the bus windows, the municipality windows.
They attacked people's houses because they didn't take their medicine. It's not good to give an opinion on everything all alone. Everything has its expert, has its method. You shouldn't interfere.
There are some idiots in our dergah here. They immediately interfere. While we're sweating here - "don't run the fan, Mawlānā doesn't like fans." As we don't drink cold water in winter, "Don't give cold water to Mawlānā. He doesn't like it". It's cold, of course we don't like it. It should be middle, neither like a bath, nor like ice. You should give it medium. As we said, everything should be medium. We are warning you about our brothers. Be careful. You can't listen to everyone in our dergah.
When there is a serious need, you ask and do as they say. With the wisdom of Allāh it is His favour. "As I created the illness, I created the medicine", says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. An illness definitely has its medicine. Only when death comes, medicine doesn't help. Then a person reaches Allāh's mercy. We should be careful about it. You shouldn't reject everything but use your mind a little. And also don't make decisions on your own and don't interfere in the business of others.
Prophet he saying every illness, the beginning from stomach and head of treatment to pehriz, diet - to make your diet, to look after what you eat. And this is also coming from ego. You must control your ego. Stomach you can eat but you must not for extreme eat. When you are not feeling hungry - it's enough. Not you seeing I must eat all this table. You eat once, twice, after your body maybe there is... Allāh create everybody different, different kind of body. Some people they can eat many but they are nothing happen for them and they are slim. But some of them if they eat, quickly they becoming many kind of illness. And Prophet every time he is saying for people be [in the] middle. If you eat, eat middle, if you drink also. If you sleep, don't sleep twelve hours, fifteen hours. Everything in Islām you must be control your ego so you will be, in shā’a Llāh, healthy and no need for any treatment.
But many people they are not looking for this and they become ill also. And when you come ill quickly you going to doctor and doctor many time they give you medicine. This doctor these days they are not like old time doctor. Only go and make this blood test, urine test, every hundred test for you. After he look and he give you one medicine. But this medicine also, most of medicine it is not good. Sometimes making you more ill. But if you are ill what you will do? You must look not only for one doctor, especially if you have serious illness - Allāh keep it away from all of us, in shā’a Llāh. And if they all of them saying same thing you can take. But if not ok you, you can try with many thing but the end if you it is necessary, you must take medicine. If you not take medicine and you something happen for you, this is your responsibility not anybody else. And many people they are saying "Mawlānā he not like medicine. Don't take medicine." Ok you must - like antibiotic or other thing - you can try. One day, two days, three days if you it
is you can without this without taking this you cure yourself it is very good because your body not need for this. For headache also maybe you must be patient. At the end you can take. And this if you do this this medicine it be can effect for your illness in the other time. One pill it is enough for you to cure but if you're used to it, is must be take more stronger, more stronger. But somebody they are doing this and many people they in need for medicine. So they must take. Because this is "wa lā tulqū bi-aydīkum ilá t-tahlukah" (2:195) Prophet or āyah Āyah Qur’ān He said, "don't throw yourself in danger." If you not take medicine maybe something happen for you so it is you be in bad situation and people they will be sorry for you. For this Mawlānā many time he allowed, not prevent.
But there is very clever people in our dargah, in everywhere, they said people don't take this. Some especially for mental people old time in mental house there was what they doing very dangerous people they was. They put him in chain. Chain them to not harm anybody. Stay there maybe some times for whole life, sometime one year, two years. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla from His mercy He make some people to find some medicine this when he take one pill a day he is like - whole life he is outside of mental house and he is like normal people. But they are coming here and there is...
Especially we have many they need this medicine this make people with it they say "don't take this, this Mawlānā he was not like this at all. You have jinn you have what a other thing. Don't take." And we see many times, many case here they broke bus glass, attacking ladies, attacking people they are going to their house. And all this coming what because this clever people they don't take this pill. And the end they cut them you put them in mental house and they send them. This is what we must not interfere with thing you are not knowing about it. Allāh make people to help this people and it is ok what will do. It is from Allāh coming. Only you must be patient Allāh reward you. Don't say I will not take this. It is important, you must take. Other people they have like diabetes or other thing also they must take some medicine, also they must look for after themself. Before becoming diabetes if they have looking for themself maybe no need for this. But when happen it must be careful for yourself to not be in danger. Allāh He create all illness but He said I am also create for them medicine. And Luqmān Ḥakīm he was has every medicine for every illness. But he said "only death I don't have this medicine for this. When death coming nothing affect for any medicine."
So we must, in shā’Allāh - Allāh keep away from us illness. Must be careful for to be before coming ill to look for yourself what you eat, what you drink and especially in this days everything they put chemical, they put something making people ill. Allāh save us from them.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
125.HAJJAH AMINAH SULTAN Wednesday, 27 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Today is the 3rd of Shawwāl, the third day of this ‘Īd. Today is the anniversary of the day our Ḥājjah Anne (mother) passed away. May her blessings reach to all of us, in shā’a Llāh. Ḥājjah Anne now fourteen years, fourteen years ago she passed away. Her station is of the Arba‘īn the Forty Saints, forty Holy People. Seven of them are ladies. Ḥājjah Anne was one of these. They of course must be alive - as each one passes away, moves to the hereafter, another awliyā’ is certainly put there in the place of him/her. But still his/her divinely support reaches. For the one who asks for their help and puts faith in their means, certainly their support reaches.
Our Ḥājjah Anne is, of course, great. How did she reach to that station? By patience, faith and serving her husband she reached. By serving mashāyikh she reached to those high stations. To serve is important. She used to serve the followers and the ummah with love. She used to both be an example for the other ladies and guide them by advising. They used to ask her whatever troubles they had and she used to help them with love as well. She felt sorry for their sad situations. And she was happy for happy things too. The happiness and joy of a person, a Muslim, was the biggest happiness and joy for her. She didn't have complaints, thanks be to Allāh.
So as we said it's a good thing that ladies look to her and take her as an example. She passed every kind of situation. She emigrated in her childhood, and after that they emigrated two more times. After that they met the mashāyikh. She lived almost till 80 years. Thanks be to Allāh they followed the way our Prophet loves and demands, with worship. They were patient with everyone, of course. She didn't speak one bad word to anyone. She didn't sadden anyone. Everyone commemorates her by such a beautiful memory like this in her absence. They go to visit her and ask for her himmah.
There were ones of course who intentionally or unintentionally saddened her but she certainly forgave them. Forgiveness is a virtue. Both the burden of the person forgiven goes when forgiving, and the one forgiving acquires much more blessings than the other. Allāh is The Forgiving One. He likes those who forgive. That's why today is her anniversary. Years, days go by so quickly. So many years have passed. Certainly
Allāh will give His favours abundantly, in shā’a Llāh, to the ones who respect her, exhibit love for her, and recite Fātiḥah. More important, in shā’a Llāh, we will be altogether in heaven. As we have said, what is worldly life? It passes in the blink of an eye. This separation is a brief separation. In shā’Allāh, we will be altogether in heaven, in the hereafter.
May Allāh exalt her station, in shā’Allāh.
Today it is 3rd of Shawwāl, Shawwāl meaning 3rd of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr. First, second, third, three days - in this days, this day before thirteen or fourteen years ago, Mawlānā's, our mother, Ḥājjah Amīnah Sulṭān, she leave us. She went to better place. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are in this occasion we must remember her. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are every day, every time we cannot forget somebody - there is some people they are not forgettable. And she is from this kind of people. But also for her honour we are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, today making Mawlīd, reading Qur’ān, and make Fātiḥah for her soul.
She was great, from great awliyā’. There is Arba‘īn - meaning forty great awliyā’, seven of them ladies. Mawlānā was saying Ḥājjah Amīnah Sulṭān she was one of this seven. But when - they must be in life, alive. When somebody pass away another people coming. Until she was in life she was in this but in ākhirah also still high maqām. She was - how she get this high station, high maqām? From her sincerity, and for her patience, and for her service, serving Allāh, serving mashāyikh, serving Mawlānā. Because she help him and they are generous, from their generosity. Because to help, to helper for Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’, she must be great awliyā’ also and she deserved this. They give this maqām for her and she was supporting to not make him any thinking for dunyā, for what I will do with this house, what will to after for this people. She all this she was taking care for. So he is only looking for his Lord, for helping people, for making this ṭarīqah spread east and west and to bringing more people to be make it higher and higher.
With this Allāh open for her and she was happy with, when people happy. She was sad one for people they have problem or they have something not good, she was sad. But for whole time she was in satisfaction, accepting what Allāh give her. And from since she is childhood she was coming suffering from immigration from Russia, from after from Turkey. Two times making hijrah. And to be poorness - but all time because she is, and her family also, depending on Allāh not for people. Make her this, what she suffering, make her maqām higher and higher. And we are knowing sometimes we maybe not help her too much or n

ion to dergah to visit Mawlānā. So shayṭān he is not happy, he is sending his people to make them to cheat them. There is no any excuse to use bad thing. You must be patient, you must be fight against your bad habit. You cannot say "this from my nature." Nature it is clean. When you are here you must be following. Don't look to anyone telling you something you cannot understand, you cannot believe. And you must try to take this, what you have from bad habit, from smoking, drinking, or using other thing, to make it try to finish it. Because many people with barakah of Mawlānā was get rid it of this. But shayṭān and his followers they are trying to cheat people, saying, "This good for you. This is make your spirit high." Never you can say this what, small [or a] lot, it make you drunk. It is forbidden, even small thing. This people, shayṭān people. We are coming here we are training to make ourself to be patient, to be in right way. Accepting right
way. All time it was like this and there is in Qur’ān in every place example from this. Especially one example it's very important and people they are reading but they are not knowing what wisdom. There is, it was war between, in time of... before Dāwūd, in time of Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām, but he wasn't yet Prophet. Prophet that time was his name is Shāmwīl (as). And the people, sons of Isrā'īl they are coming to him, "O Prophet, ask your God, your Lord, to send us king to fight against non-believer." They ask, they ask. At the end he ask Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla tell him this commander and king for you, he is Ṭālūt (Saul). And they was not accepting him. But it is take long time and there is many miracle - at the end they accept him. And he is prepared to going to war. He said "who I don't want - old one, children, or people they have work, trader or they are who new married. I don't want anyone of this. Only I want who don't have anything to make him busy. He can come to fight with me." And it was quite a lot of people they come with him, nearly eighty thousand people. And he trained them and he said we are going now to fight this Jālūt.
God, your Lord, to send us king to fight against non-believer." They ask, they ask. At the end he ask Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla tell him this commander and king for you, he is Ṭālūt (Saul). And they was not accepting him. But it is take long time and there is many miracle - at the end they accept him. And he is prepared to going to war. He said "who I don't want - old one, children, or people they have work, trader or they are who new married. I don't want anyone of this. Only I want who don't have anything to make him busy. He can come to fight with me." And it was quite a lot of people they come with him, nearly eighty thousand people. And he trained them and he said we are going now to fight this Jālūt.
Jālūt he was oppressor king. He is from huge people from old time - he was quite long, big one. And they take their army from Jerusalem going toward east. In east it is dry and they was thirsty and they were asking for water. He said, "be patient. After it will be we find." After maybe three, four days, they nearly reach to big river. He said "who will drink from this river he will be not with me. He will be go back to where he come. Who will like to be with me he must not drink from this. Even he drink only one handful of water. Other who drink more than handful they must go back." When they see river, whole of them jumping, drinking. This is what it is this people who they don't have any control for their ego. Quickly when they see easy thing going there. And it was only three hundred ten people they was left without drink or they drink only one handful of water and they cross river. Other they cannot cross river they go back. But what happen? Who drink from this water he is, they are not, they are still thirsty. Still even their lips become dark. This is what for this people who are, they try to make their ego to full with bad thing - never satisfied. They want more more and more and it is only not good.
Only three hundred ten people they cross with Ṭālūt and with prophet. And they was Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām, his father, also prophet and with his ten from his brothers - also
all of them they cross this river. And Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām he was, he have miracle and he only has stone. They throw stone with rope. And he said I say to his father "O my father I throw, I can kill with this." Said his father, "good this". And when he come from, in road he find one stone. He [stone] said, "O Dāwūd I'm stone from Hārūn ‘alayhi s- salām. He killed somebody, some Kāfir from this. After he find one stone again. He said to him "I'm from Mūsá ‘alayhi ssalām" also he killed some king of non-believer and the third one also. He take them put them in his bag. And when he come to, he was bring them with him to fight there.
And Jālūt he come, Jālūt with huge army. Some people saying maybe hundred thousand army, some of them saying three hundred thousand army and when this people they saw this huge army, even this what they left, three hundred ten people, "we cannot do anything". But the believer, real believer, they said, don't say this "kam min fi’atin qalīlatin ghalabat fi’atan kathīrah" (2:249) This Āyah: "How many time small believer they won on huge army." And by blessing of Allāh first this Jālūt he come, he said "who can fight with me?" He was huge. Nobody going to him after he say, nobody. Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām he said, I'm going and Ṭālūt, the king of Dāwūd ‘alayhi s-salām, he give him horse and give him sword and he was going with this. After he remember, he come back to his army. People they thought he is running away from him, from Jālūt. But he said, "no I don't want this [sword]. I have a special weapon. I will kill him with this." And he throw, put his three stones in one, they become one and he put in his rope and he throw. And Allāh order wind to help him and wind coming to through his head, Jālūt's head. Coming through head, going out and killing thirty people also with him. And after this, this army, they was very afraid, they run away all of them.
This is when somebody like to be in right way he mustn't make excuse for himself to do any wrong thing. To not listen to any shayṭān, to be with Allāh only. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are, who coming here for Allāh, Allāh He help him. But who this some shayṭān coming, they will be punished by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Because shayṭān and his followers they are cursed. And curse it is not good thing. But we are in Ramaḍān and who have some bad intention must clean his heart and make repent for Allāh. Allāh accept him, forgive him.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
119.LAYLATU L-QADR Thursday, 21 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 "Shahru Ramaḍāna alladhī unzila fīhi l-Qur’ān." (2:185) Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) It is the month of Ramaḍān the month in which Qur’ān Karīm was sent down to our Prophet. It was sent down to Muslims as a big favour and miracle. And it was sent on Laylatu l-Qadr. "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr." Laylatu l-Qadr is better than 80 years. A thousand months make 80 years. And that is a lifetime. Some live more, some live less. People live around this age. And it is the night better than a whole life, Laylatu l-Qadr.
Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla said to our Prophet that Laylatu l-Qadr is hidden. If people knew when it is, they would pray only on that night. Their prayer would be better than a thousand months of worship. And they are lazy to pray any time else. Moreover, they might not do it. Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla hid this night. It may be on any night of the year, but mostly during Ramaḍān, says our Prophet, during the last ten days of Ramaḍān. It is the custom now that it's on the 27th night most of the time. However, it is not clear if that night is Laylatu l-Qadr. But for people to have respect for it, ‘ulamā’, mashāyikh and ṣaḥābah respected the 27th night as Laylatu l-Qadr. Because if it was on any night, people would not care about it. Therefore, if a person stays awake on the 27th night and prays until saḥūr, or if he gets little rest before saḥūr, that is also counted as worship. It is counted as if he stayed awake the whole night.
When it is done with that intention, certainly Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will favour that person. It is given according to their intentions. Therefore, we'll be as if we stayed awake on Laylatu lQadr, in shā’a Llāh. Laylatu l-Qadr is a different night. Our Prophet said it is neither cold, nor hot. It is a beautiful night. Who catches this night catches the blessing of Ramaḍān. With that blessing, if a person spends Ramaḍān well, his whole year will be spent well. It will be comfortable. In shā’a Llāh, may it be blessed for all of us. And may Allāh send the Ṣāḥib (Mahdī as) to ummati Muḥammad. We pray for that as well.
May Allāh protect ummati Muḥammad. There are many fitnah. May Allāh protect from fitnah and evil. And on this night ask for forgiveness and health as a prayer. Ask for forgiveness and good health. Say "Allāhumma innā nas’aluka l-‘afwa wa l-‘āfiyah." Make
this prayer a lot on this night. These two things, a man doesn't appreciate when he has them but when there is no health, a man understands its value. Even if he is the richest man on earth, he can't do anything. And the one reaching the forgiveness of Allāh, gets happiness. It is a short prayer. Our Prophet is saying to make this prayer as it is easily memorized. As long as Allāh forgives you, Allāh gives you all blessings. As long as you are healthy, you won't need anyone. May Allāh repeat it for us. May we reach it with more honor next year. In shā’a Llāh. May we reach it with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
They ask which prayers should be made on this night. You can make up your missed prayers, you can do charity. And ṣadaqah, zakāh given during Ramaḍān is very virtuous. People can give zakāh throughout the year, but when they give in Ramaḍān, Allāh ﷻrewards it multiple times. Who can give zakāh may give. Or you can separate in Ramaḍān and give in parts later. You are counted as giving in Ramaḍān because you have separated your zakāh at that time. Its virtue will be much higher.
May Allāh give according to our intentions. May this night be holy and blessed, in shā’Allāh.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "Shahru Ramaḍāna alladhī unzila fīhi l-Qur’ānu hudan lil-nāsi wa-bayyinātin mina l-hudá wal-furqān" (2:185) and He said: "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) This holy month Ramaḍān, it is very holy month because Allāh He send the Qur’ān to His Prophet in Ramaḍān. He is, it is blessed and it is light, everything for human being [He] said. And in Sūratu l-Qadr He said: "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) meaning it is, it been sent in this night. Night of Qadr we call, it is have special name. Special night - very strong because Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh- sha’n, the miracle of Prophet, Allāh send in this night.
Which night? One night of Ramaḍān. Ramaḍān but mostly we celebrate in 27th but it is Prophet saying it is not certainly in this night. Different night you must look for this. Ṣaḥābah asking, "O Prophet tell us which night to we wake up and to not sleep." He said, Prophet, if I tell you people they will leave doing worshipping only to find one night. And doing it's enough for them because Allah said it is better than thousand months. Thousand months it is equal to eighty years and eighty years it is around age of human being maybe sixty, maybe seventy, maybe ninety. But eighty middle of people, so one night it is better than whole life. For this Allah make it secret - to people to look for this night and to try to catch it. Every day they try for this not only one day. So Allah will reward them. But people, most of the people they are making in 27th. And the holy people they were saying most of time the majority in this 27th but maybe 25th, 23rd, 21st, 29th also or 1, 10, 15 Ramaḍān - whole Ramaḍān. Can be any night. So for this people they are trying and worshipping more and more. And it is acceptable for them to not be lazy to not, to be love to worship Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla He put barakah, happiness in this night. For this night also for Ramaḍān month, whole month it
is the most blessed month between the 12 months - Ramaḍān. And Allah when people they are happy in Ramaḍān, everything good, whole year it must be good for them. And to be blessed and to be safe, in shā’Allāh. This night they are asking what ‘ibādah? You can make what you didn't pray, some pray or give your charity. And the best thing in Ramaḍān if you have, you may, you will give zakat. You can give whole year also but to give it Ramaḍān it is double reward from Allah. So if you cannot find somebody to give to, just you can keep it take it alone [separate it] from your money to write on it zakat. And it is you can distribute little by little. But Allah reward you for this. And to make ‘ibādah also to ask praying "Allāhumma innā nas’aluka l-‘afwa wa l-‘āfiyah."
Prophet telling ṣaḥābah to say this du‘ā’, praying "Allāhumma innā nas’aluka l-‘afwa wa l‘āfiyah" - meaning, ask forgiveness from You and we ask for health. The most precious thing, two things, if Allah forgive us it is everything good and if we have good health also we are in happiness. This is Prophet he saying about this, so we are this night you must repeat it many times, in shā’Allāh. And we have and pray also to be ummati Muhammad safe from every badness, from fitnah, from what happen around and especially we are asking for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salaam to be come and save Muslim and whole human being, in shā’Allāh. Because very difficult time but we are hope, because Allah by His Prophet he tell us it will be in the end of time this what happen. And after Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salaam come he will full of whole world with justice and Iman, in shā’Allāh. We hope, in shā’Allāh, next Ramaḍān to be with Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salaam in shā’Allāh.

120.HAPPINESS BY BEING THANKFUL Friday, 22 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.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying in Qur’ān: Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Innā ja‘alnā mā ‘alá l-arḍi zīnatan lahā linabluwahum ayyuhum aḥsanu ‘amalan wa-innā lajā‘ilūna mā ‘alayhā ṣa‘īdan juruzan." (18:7-8) Allah created this world in perfect form.
"Fatabāraka Llāhu aḥsanu l-khāliqīn." (23:14) He created everything perfect and made it beautiful. He gave it as a home, a temporary home for people, for testing. He created beautiful things. People without minds assume it to be a permanent place, that there is no other place but this and they forgot about ākhirah. And for Muslims, Allāh made all these permitted things ḥalāl. They can use the products of dunyā for the pleasure of Allāh. They can use on the way of Allāh. It is useful. But if they use this dunyā as if they will never die and they do nothing for others, don't recognize Allāh, don't do goodness, then they are in complete loss. Our Prophet has said, "ad-dunyā dāru man lā dāra lahu". Dunyā can become home for those who don't think about ākhirah. But for people who will have palaces and castles in ākhirah there is nothing to look at in dunyā. It's not good to put it in your heart.
And at last, "Wa-innā lajā‘ilūna mā ‘alayhā ṣa‘īdan juruzan." (18:8) All these beauties you see will become dry on the day of resurrection. Neither grass, nor water will remain. It will be like a dry desert. It won't be useful then, if they understand it or not. Therefore, we should know that dunyā is a world of tests and we should use the favours given by Allāh and be thankful. With shukr, favours increase and last. And we will gain the pleasure of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying about this world "Innā ja‘alnā mā ‘alá l-arḍi zīnatan lahā linabluwahum ayyuhum aḥsanu ‘amalan wa-innā lajā‘ilūna mā ‘alayhā ṣa‘īdan juruzan." (18:7-8) "We create this world we create all universe". Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create but especially for human being it is important what Allāh create us. "Tabāraka Llāhu aḥsanu l-khāliqīn" (23:14) He is the most perfect Creator, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He create world with very good, very beautiful, everything - enough for everybody, for every creature. But people they for themself or for their selfishness they finish, they destroy, they make
it very bad. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla even He said this for people like, for test for people. "We will look who is happy, he is thankful for his Lord." And one for people who only they think it is they come by themself to this world. And they are think no more, any life after this. No, this is only for test.
Dunyā, Allāh give us. When people not knowing Allāh they will be not happy here. "Ad- dunyā dāru man lā dāra lahu." This, only in this world they can get some house because it is - in ākhirah, next life they will not find because they didn't believe; they not ask for better from this. But believer they can be use what Allāh give them from favours, from good ni‘matu Llāh. We can with ḥalāl - you can be enjoy yourself, you can from every favour from Allāh He give you. Allāh He is happy also. You can enjoy if you have opportunity, you can enjoy and you can don't forget Allāh. All time make thank for Allāh. With thanking you be, Allāh give you more and continuously giving. "Wa bi sh- shukru tadūmu n-ni‘am." Because to, if you have some good thing it is difficult to keep it. This is if you find some good place, some good thing, you can take. Don't ask, continue take and you will be blessed. And this is with thanking Allāh for what He give you, it will be continue until end of your life.
But if you be become lazy and used to it - it is normal for us. No. Every day you must thanking your Lord for everything for He give you. Specially for ni‘mati l-īmān (the favour of belief). And the end of this world also Allāh He said, "I will make it dry like desert." To see, show people it is only for this life. In Judgement day you cannot see any green, any water - only flat like desert. No shadow, shadow [shade] for believer only. You must be thankful for Allāh for what He give us to be get happiness. Happiness you can only with thanking Allāh He give you. If you are against Him you will never be happy.
Allāh keep us in His way, in shā’a Llāh. And give us from His favour. We are asking. Don't be shy from asking from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Ask what you want. No need to ask for people. Ask from Allāh, "Give me, give me, give me." It's ok. If you ask from somebody he will fed up from you. He run away from you if you say this.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
121.THE TAKBIR OF EID Saturday, 23 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.
Ramaḍān is almost over. This is the last Friday. Holy Ramaḍān is ending. Our Prophet is saying that between the prayers, from Jum‘ah to Jum‘ah, between two Ramaḍāns, He makes all sins be forgiven. If there is no big sin and no right of someone, Allāh forgives. If a person from the noon till the afternoon. There is no person without mistakes. He makes mistakes. Allāh forgives those mistakes. Then Allāh forgives mistakes, faults and sins made between Jum‘ahs. And He forgives sins made from a year to a year, from Ramaḍān to Ramaḍān. So if a man prays Ẓuhr and prays ‘Aṣr, he is forgiven. But if you don't pray Ẓuhr, don't pray ‘Aṣr or Jum‘ah, don't fast in Ramaḍān, they will pile up on you. You will answer for them on Qiyāmah. If you don't repent and ask forgiveness from Allāh in dunyā, you will carry them. And even this is by the mercy of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and our Prophet.
If you don't pray Ẓuhr and ‘Aṣr, don't pray Jum‘ah, then repent and start, everything between Ramaḍāns will be forgiven. As we said, it will be a big sin. What we mean by big sin, if there is no redemption for it, it will be forgiven. Allāh is treating people with mercy but people are not accepting. They say they don't want it. If you don't want, you know for yourself. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Yurīdu Llāhu bikumu l-yusra wa-lā yurīdu bikumu l-‘usra." (2:185) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla wishes only good for you.
We finished this Ramaḍān too. Shukr to Allāh, we are reaching ‘Īd. And on ‘Īd "wa litukabbiru Llāha ‘alá mā hadākum" you should make Takbīr. Up until the ‘Īd prayer is over, before and during it, make Takbīr after khuṭbah, then Takbīr is finished. These Takbīrs are Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar Lā ilāha illā Llāhu Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar wa liLlāhi lḥamd. There are many revelations we heard from our mashāyikh, imāms of madhāhib. There are other ones as well. But if you do this, as it is our tradition to do this... When done otherwise, people get confused. Therefore, when we make Takbīr, we are making shukr to Allāh for the favours He's given to us. The biggest favour is, may Allah protect it, may Allāh protect our īmān. We see that many people don't know these things. Or they say they don't believe. They don't do anything. If Allāh wanted, He'd make us like them. May Allāh protect us. We have to be thankful for this. Your biggest shukr is staying on the right way, being guided and obeying Allāh's orders. It's
not easy to do it. Because a man can do various things. And when it comes to worship, he can do only a little of it. And that is a favour of Allāh. We have to thank Allāh. We passed this whole holy month. May Allāh let us reach even better ones. May we reach the days when Islām rules over the world with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām and ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s- salām. This holy month is over again. In shā’a Llāh, we will reach another one. We will reach a better one, in shā’Allāh. May it be blessed, in shā’Allāh. ‘Īd Mubarak to you! May Allāh improve, guide and give understanding to ummati Muḥammad.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are, we come to one month nearly we are finished. Tomorrow or after tomorrow, the last day for Ramaḍān. In Ramaḍān, Prophet saying between two Ramaḍāns Allāh forgive what you done. Between Jum‘ah and Jum‘ah also Allāh forgive what you, your fault, your wrong thing, your sin you done. And between two time of praying Allāh also forgive you. But it is, there is one thing what He can forgive for everybody but He said to people who are knowing - if we pray Ẓuhr and between this everybody human being they are weak and they can do wrong every time. Until ‘Aṣr what he done, when he pray ‘Aṣr, Allāh He was finish this, forgive you. Between one Jum‘ah until next week Jum‘ah, also what you done He forgive you. But not there is some big sin, this need another thing to also Allāh forgive but there is another condition but for normal, every time we can do wrong, between if anything left between one Ramaḍān to another Ramaḍān, also whole year He forgive.
It is big good thing for human being. But human being they are not accepting. You are even Muslim many of them they are not knowing that not practicing. And it is, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are with this two days we will be finish and Allāh He said "yurīdu Llāha bikumu l-yusra wa-lā yurīdu bikumu l-‘usra wa-litukmilū l-‘iddata wa-litukabbirū Llāha ‘alá mā hadākum" (2:185) Allāh He want for you the best, the easy thing. Easiest, but you are, and He don't want hard thing for you. But He give us what He order us. Everybody can do if they are try. But most of people they are not trying.
And He said until you finish this fasting you must after make Takbīr. Takbīr for thank for Allāh. What thanking? We are thanking Him to He help us to be in this good way. Because many people they cannot do, even it is easy, but they cannot do. They can do thousand times more hard thing in every day, but for two minute they cannot pray, they cannot fast. Coming too difficult for them. For this we are thanking Allāh [that] He help us and He give us this big favour to be in way of Prophet and way what He love. Allāh He love believer and He said He don't love non believer. "Inna Llāha lā yuḥibbu l- kāfirīn" (3:32) He is knowing which people what they are doing; knowing everything. For this we are thanking Him. And we are make Takbīr after we finish Ramaḍān - from Fajr, after Fajr until Ṣalātu l-‘Īd. This also thanking for Him.
There is many kind of Takbīr but we normally say Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar lā ilāha illā Llāhu Allāh Akbar Allāhu Akbar Wa liLlāhi l-Ḥamd. This is ṣaḥābi Ibn Mas‘ūd he
saying this Prophet was saying. But there another kind of Takbīr also - we know this we must continue to not mix. And tomorrow, in shā’Allāh in our country they are saying after tomorrow ‘Īd. Tomorrow night also very holy night. Night of ‘Īd it is very holy night, acceptable for praying, for du‘ā’, for charity. So we, in shā’a Llāh Allāh, give us from this blessed night also. And we hope to next Ramaḍān to be more better for ummah. Allāh send us Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. Allāh give ummah, ummah of Sayyidinā Muḥammad, to make them to understand right and wrong thing because most of them they are going wrong and they thought they are going right. No. Allāh give us Imām for to show us the right way, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
122.NASIHAH FOR THE END OF RAMADAN Saturday, 24 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. May Allāh bless it, in shaAllāh. ‘Īd is coming. Today is ‘arafah, a holy day. Today is the last day of Ramaḍān. Allāh has a nice promise. When Ramaḍān is over, all our sins will be forgiven, in shaAllāh. It is beautiful good tidings. May we spend it with īmān and barakah. It is a month in which Allāh shows us grace and love because it is spent with fasting during the day and worship during the night. One more year is gone from our lifetime. People are sad on the New Year that they are one year older. And as we become closer to Allāh by our īmān in Ramaḍān, in shaAllāh, we should be happier.
Our Prophet is saying to live with good manners in this world. He says to stay away from bad characteristics. Our Prophet says there are three characteristics that destroy people. The first one is arrogance. Because of arrogance, shayṭān didn't make sajdah to Ādam (as). He was thrown away from paradise, from the presence of Allāh. The second is greed. Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām ate from the forbidden fruit because of his greed. Instead of more and better things... There was everything but out of greed, Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām ate it too. So he was taken out of paradise. And the third is envy. And that's the worst. Two sons of Ādam, one killed the other because of envy. We have to stay away from these bad characteristics. Our Prophet is warning us against them. Never approach them.
Arrogance. A person with arrogance is an idiot because Allāh created all of us. To be proud is for Allāh only. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the one who created everything. We are creatures. Allāh is the Creator. Therefore, a creature can't be arrogant to another creature. Greed is not good either. You should be patient. And it is not good to want something too much. You won't feel at peace. And envy is a totally bad thing. A person who has it lives his whole life as in hell. He envies everyone and feels jealous that others have and he doesn't. You can't have everything. Allāh created and Allāh gave. He gave to whom He wanted. Therefore we should stay away from envy.
May Allāh bless this night. The night of ‘Īd is a holy night. There are several nights in a year. Two of them are the night of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr and the night of ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. And there are 5-6 holy nights, like Laylatu l-Qadr, Raghā’ib, Mi‘rāj, Mawlid. Among these nights, these
two are holy nights. We should pay attention to them. May our prayers and ṣalāh be good, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh let us reach more years.
Today, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are reach the end of the holy month. Prophet saying when last day you are breaking fast Allāh also forgive you for everything. Whole Ramaḍān you, you are fasting. Especially for the end of this month special present from Allāh to forgive you and bless you. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are safely we reach this end and it was very nice month Ramaḍān because daytime fasting, nighttime worshipping, praying. Everything was so beautiful in this month. And in the end Allāh also He give us present for mu’min, mu’minah, and Muslim believer - for whole believer. He forgive them and He said "I'm only knowing what I give. Nobody know what I give for this." People they are who are they are fasting in Ramaḍān "ana ujzi bihi" I'm only and not tell anybody what I will give and He is the most generous. So you cannot imagine what He will give. Because we have limit and we only maybe say ten times, twelve times, hundred times, thousand times, but Allāh He is generous, you cannot imagine what He give.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, it is nice time, nice day and it is blessed night also this night. In ‘Īd night... There is few holy night in year, maybe five or seven. Two of them, one this night and one in ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá ninth of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. It is also very holy night. And Allāh accept your du‘ā’, accept your charity, your worshipping. so, in shaAllāh, we can with our intention to ask all good thing for Muslim and to be safe and to be in right way, in shaAllāh. And Prophet he said for warning ummah to not follow their some bad desires, some bad attributes they have. It must be attribute nice good behaviour. But there is three of them Prophet was saying.
First of them to be proud. Proudness make iblīs satan to not accept Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, not obey order of Allāh to make sajdah for Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. And he was kicked out from his everything he has but he from his proudness he didn't make it. So it is very bad attribute this.
Second one to be greedy. Greediness it is also bad because Sayyidinā Ādam ‘alayhi s- salām, Prophet saying he was asking more in Jannah. Everything he has but only one forbidden and he from his greediness he take it and he eat it. And also he was thrown out from paradise.
And third one, envious. It is the worst because son of Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām he killed his brother from what he was have envy. He said: "He has better than me, I must kill him."
So it was these three things, if you keep away from these Prophet saying you will be restful and you will be not doing any mistake anything. So, in shaAllāh, we try, in shaAllāh, to be away. But especially envious it is the worst. All of them worst, bad, but the envious because who it is like illness. If somebody have it, difficult to get rid of it.
And it make whole his life like hell. Even he has whole world but he has this envious he will not be restful, he will be whole time in bad misery and not happy. And it is Prophet order we must be away from this, in shaAllāh. This is also naṣīḥah (advice) for end of Ramaḍān. Allāh make this attribute away from us, in shaAllāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
123.TWO BLESSED DAYS Monday, 25 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.
First of all we say may this ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr be blessed for all of you. May it be holy, may it be prosperous. This ‘Īd - our Prophet said two ‘Īds. One is the ‘Īd after this Ramaḍān. It's the ‘Īd for those who fast. The second one is ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. These are the ‘Īds Allāh has given us as a gift. In old times of our Prophet there were no ‘Īds. There were other special days and they were having a feast - like Nawruz. I don't know, there were some other things like Mehregan. So they were having entertainment on that day. When our Prophet came to Madīnah, he said: "Allāh gave you better than that. There are these ‘Īds. Whoever respects them, obeys Allāh's order. He will both have a feast and acquire blessings from it."
No matter how far people are from religion they still do these ‘Īds because these are the ‘Īds Allāh set. They respect these days. They congratulate each other. There comes a beauty. However much shayṭān strives, he cannot remove that. Now he has established many feasts among them. There's this feast, that feast, feast day of so and so, but the more he strives, the less he can do since the beginning. But these ‘Īds that Allāh gave to Muslims and Islām as a gift, give pleasure, give joy inside people. The others give darkness. They lead to sinning.
On the first day of ‘Īd at first there is prayer. ‘Īd prayer is performed first because it is wājib. And wājib is a great blessing. Allāh doesn't need your prayer or supplication. Allāh gave them all for His servants that they lead us to goodness. They lead to blessings. Many people actually put their forehead for prostration only because of the ‘Īd. And that is a great thing as well. Even only from ‘Īd to ‘Īd, people certainly come for this ‘Īd prayer. People remember they are Muslim. This also indicates what a gracious religion Islām is, that even at a feast it reminds people of Allāh. They remember who they are.
May Allāh make us much better, in shā’Allāh. May it be blessed and prosperous. May the coming ‘Īds be much more beautiful, in shā’Allāh.
We are saying for ‘Īd today - we are asking happy ‘Īd, in shā’Allāh. Happy for everybody because this ‘Īd feast it is gift from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla for mu’min. Only it was before,
some days for they are playing when Prophet come to Madīnah. He saw ṣaḥābah or Madīnah people they are celebrating some days. Then he said Allāh He give you instead these days, two blessed days. One for Ramaḍān, after we finish Ramaḍān and second in ‘Īdu lAḍḥá, four days. And it is blessed because when you remember this, Allāh give you blessing and He blessed it.
Since Prophet's time until now there are people they are celebrating and they are happy with this. There is shayṭān make many days to make it like feast but people still they are happy in these days - ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr, ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá - not with other. Other just making for trap for benefit for to get money or to cheat people. But this ‘Īd, Allāh make it for people for mu’min especially even who not praying. Maybe twice a year praying because it is blessed feast beginning with praying of ‘Īd, Ṣalātu l-‘Īd. Morning first thing we do, we pray ‘Īd [prayer]. After, everybody celebrate and greet every each other. Even this enough for us.
Because Allāh He is not in need for our worshipping but to make people, even twice a year to pray, He make this occasion also. It is nice occasion. And Allāh happy with people they are happy with Him. Even with ‘Īd there is some, Allāh make excuse to forgive people when they are remembering. Because He said: "fa-udhkurūnī adhkurkum" (2:152) "Remember Me I will remember you." Even twice a year. So it is, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, nice days these days. We are happy. We are asking blessings for whole nation, for Allāh give hidāyah for nations and for human being to be see this good thing, what they are shayṭān try to close to not make people to see it. Everything with wisdom. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla everything making to reach right way, to reach safe way. But people they are not, they don't have wisdom. They don't know. But even with this it is enough for them. Allāh make this next year feast better and better, in shā’Allāh, for whole ummah and for human being, in shā’Allāh.

124.THE BEGINNING OF EVERY ILLNESS Tuesday, 26 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, "Al-ma‘dah baytu l-dā’ wa l-ḥimyati ra’su d-dawā’." Ḥadīth sharīf, our Prophet says so. "The stomach is the beginning of illness and diet is the beginning of cure." The illnesses of people today have increased. And as illnesses increase people wonder what they should do. A person who controls his stomach and his ego has better health. The middle road. Don't take things too far. Our Prophet says to eat neither too little nor too much. Everything should be in the middle to have comfort.
Some people, even when they have everything, still they can't resist and they overeat. And then as everyone's body is different, some people can have serious illnesses. And when there is an illness, they should go to a doctor. However, the doctors nowadays are not like they were before. They have diplomas but most of them know nothing. They send you to have a blood test and give medicine. Medicine makes it worse instead of better. Therefore, instead of being treated with a medicine, a man should take his ego under control in the beginning. And regarding diet, most food now is made of things we don't know. It's not clear what it's made of. We should be careful about it.
They say "Mawlānā doesn't like medicine. We shouldn't take medicine." Right, Mawlānā doesn't like. But when there is a need for it. Everything has a time when it's needed and not needed. When the medicine is needed, Allāh is giving it to you. And when you don't take it, you put yourself at risk. You are responsible for this. Of course, as we said, there are some things. You can't even rely on doctors. When you need a serious medicine or something, don't rely on one doctor. You should ask several doctors. And when all of them say the same thing, then you can do it.
"Mawlānā doesn't like it. We shouldn't take medicine." There were madhouses in the old days, and there were mad patients tied with chains in madhouses. May Allāh protect us. With Allāh's grace, one medicine appeared. When they took that medicine, those people tied with a chain could walk around like normal. Idiot people are coming, saying, "Mawlānā said not to take medicine. Leave this medicine". And people leave it. It happened many times here. They broke the bus windows, the municipality windows.
They attacked people's houses because they didn't take their medicine. It's not good to give an opinion on everything all alone. Everything has its expert, has its method. You shouldn't interfere.
There are some idiots in our dergah here. They immediately interfere. While we're sweating here - "don't run the fan, Mawlānā doesn't like fans." As we don't drink cold water in winter, "Don't give cold water to Mawlānā. He doesn't like it". It's cold, of course we don't like it. It should be middle, neither like a bath, nor like ice. You should give it medium. As we said, everything should be medium. We are warning you about our brothers. Be careful. You can't listen to everyone in our dergah.
When there is a serious need, you ask and do as they say. With the wisdom of Allāh it is His favour. "As I created the illness, I created the medicine", says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. An illness definitely has its medicine. Only when death comes, medicine doesn't help. Then a person reaches Allāh's mercy. We should be careful about it. You shouldn't reject everything but use your mind a little. And also don't make decisions on your own and don't interfere in the business of others.
Prophet he saying every illness, the beginning from stomach and head of treatment to pehriz, diet - to make your diet, to look after what you eat. And this is also coming from ego. You must control your ego. Stomach you can eat but you must not for extreme eat. When you are not feeling hungry - it's enough. Not you seeing I must eat all this table. You eat once, twice, after your body maybe there is... Allāh create everybody different, different kind of body. Some people they can eat many but they are nothing happen for them and they are slim. But some of them if they eat, quickly they becoming many kind of illness. And Prophet every time he is saying for people be [in the] middle. If you eat, eat middle, if you drink also. If you sleep, don't sleep twelve hours, fifteen hours. Everything in Islām you must be control your ego so you will be, in shā’a Llāh, healthy and no need for any treatment.
But many people they are not looking for this and they become ill also. And when you come ill quickly you going to doctor and doctor many time they give you medicine. This doctor these days they are not like old time doctor. Only go and make this blood test, urine test, every hundred test for you. After he look and he give you one medicine. But this medicine also, most of medicine it is not good. Sometimes making you more ill. But if you are ill what you will do? You must look not only for one doctor, especially if you have serious illness - Allāh keep it away from all of us, in shā’a Llāh. And if they all of them saying same thing you can take. But if not ok you, you can try with many thing but the end if you it is necessary, you must take medicine. If you not take medicine and you something happen for you, this is your responsibility not anybody else. And many people they are saying "Mawlānā he not like medicine. Don't take medicine." Ok you must - like antibiotic or other thing - you can try. One day, two days, three days if you it
is you can without this without taking this you cure yourself it is very good because your body not need for this. For headache also maybe you must be patient. At the end you can take. And this if you do this this medicine it be can effect for your illness in the other time. One pill it is enough for you to cure but if you're used to it, is must be take more stronger, more stronger. But somebody they are doing this and many people they in need for medicine. So they must take. Because this is "wa lā tulqū bi-aydīkum ilá t-tahlukah" (2:195) Prophet or āyah Āyah Qur’ān He said, "don't throw yourself in danger." If you not take medicine maybe something happen for you so it is you be in bad situation and people they will be sorry for you. For this Mawlānā many time he allowed, not prevent.
But there is very clever people in our dargah, in everywhere, they said people don't take this. Some especially for mental people old time in mental house there was what they doing very dangerous people they was. They put him in chain. Chain them to not harm anybody. Stay there maybe some times for whole life, sometime one year, two years. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla from His mercy He make some people to find some medicine this when he take one pill a day he is like - whole life he is outside of mental house and he is like normal people. But they are coming here and there is...
Especially we have many they need this medicine this make people with it they say "don't take this, this Mawlānā he was not like this at all. You have jinn you have what a other thing. Don't take." And we see many times, many case here they broke bus glass, attacking ladies, attacking people they are going to their house. And all this coming what because this clever people they don't take this pill. And the end they cut them you put them in mental house and they send them. This is what we must not interfere with thing you are not knowing about it. Allāh make people to help this people and it is ok what will do. It is from Allāh coming. Only you must be patient Allāh reward you. Don't say I will not take this. It is important, you must take. Other people they have like diabetes or other thing also they must take some medicine, also they must look for after themself. Before becoming diabetes if they have looking for themself maybe no need for this. But when happen it must be careful for yourself to not be in danger. Allāh He create all illness but He said I am also create for them medicine. And Luqmān Ḥakīm he was has every medicine for every illness. But he said "only death I don't have this medicine for this. When death coming nothing affect for any medicine."
So we must, in shā’Allāh - Allāh keep away from us illness. Must be careful for to be before coming ill to look for yourself what you eat, what you drink and especially in this days everything they put chemical, they put something making people ill. Allāh save us from them.

125.HAJJAH AMINAH SULTAN Wednesday, 27 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Today is the 3rd of Shawwāl, the third day of this ‘Īd. Today is the anniversary of the day our Ḥājjah Anne (mother) passed away. May her blessings reach to all of us, in shā’a Llāh. Ḥājjah Anne now fourteen years, fourteen years ago she passed away. Her station is of the Arba‘īn the Forty Saints, forty Holy People. Seven of them are ladies. Ḥājjah Anne was one of these. They of course must be alive - as each one passes away, moves to the hereafter, another awliyā’ is certainly put there in the place of him/her. But still his/her divinely support reaches. For the one who asks for their help and puts faith in their means, certainly their support reaches.
Our Ḥājjah Anne is, of course, great. How did she reach to that station? By patience, faith and serving her husband she reached. By serving mashāyikh she reached to those high stations. To serve is important. She used to serve the followers and the ummah with love. She used to both be an example for the other ladies and guide them by advising. They used to ask her whatever troubles they had and she used to help them with love as well. She felt sorry for their sad situations. And she was happy for happy things too. The happiness and joy of a person, a Muslim, was the biggest happiness and joy for her. She didn't have complaints, thanks be to Allāh.
So as we said it's a good thing that ladies look to her and take her as an example. She passed every kind of situation. She emigrated in her childhood, and after that they emigrated two more times. After that they met the mashāyikh. She lived almost till 80 years. Thanks be to Allāh they followed the way our Prophet loves and demands, with worship. They were patient with everyone, of course. She didn't speak one bad word to anyone. She didn't sadden anyone. Everyone commemorates her by such a beautiful memory like this in her absence. They go to visit her and ask for her himmah.
There were ones of course who intentionally or unintentionally saddened her but she certainly forgave them. Forgiveness is a virtue. Both the burden of the person forgiven goes when forgiving, and the one forgiving acquires much more blessings than the other. Allāh is The Forgiving One. He likes those who forgive. That's why today is her anniversary. Years, days go by so quickly. So many years have passed. Certainly
Allāh will give His favours abundantly, in shā’a Llāh, to the ones who respect her, exhibit love for her, and recite Fātiḥah. More important, in shā’a Llāh, we will be altogether in heaven. As we have said, what is worldly life? It passes in the blink of an eye. This separation is a brief separation. In shā’Allāh, we will be altogether in heaven, in the hereafter.
May Allāh exalt her station, in shā’Allāh.
Today it is 3rd of Shawwāl, Shawwāl meaning 3rd of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr. First, second, third, three days - in this days, this day before thirteen or fourteen years ago, Mawlānā's, our mother, Ḥājjah Amīnah Sulṭān, she leave us. She went to better place. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh we are in this occasion we must remember her. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are every day, every time we cannot forget somebody - there is some people they are not forgettable. And she is from this kind of people. But also for her honour we are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, today making Mawlīd, reading Qur’ān, and make Fātiḥah for her soul.
She was great, from great awliyā’. There is Arba‘īn - meaning forty great awliyā’, seven of them ladies. Mawlānā was saying Ḥājjah Amīnah Sulṭān she was one of this seven. But when - they must be in life, alive. When somebody pass away another people coming. Until she was in life she was in this but in ākhirah also still high maqām. She was - how she get this high station, high maqām? From her sincerity, and for her patience, and for her service, serving Allāh, serving mashāyikh, serving Mawlānā. Because she help him and they are generous, from their generosity. Because to help, to helper for Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’, she must be great awliyā’ also and she deserved this. They give this maqām for her and she was supporting to not make him any thinking for dunyā, for what I will do with this house, what will to after for this people. She all this she was taking care for. So he is only looking for his Lord, for helping people, for making this ṭarīqah spread east and west and to bringing more people to be make it higher and higher.
With this Allāh open for her and she was happy with, when people happy. She was sad one for people they have problem or they have something not good, she was sad. But for whole time she was in satisfaction, accepting what Allāh give her. And from since she is childhood she was coming suffering from immigration from Russia, from after from Turkey. Two times making hijrah. And to be poorness - but all time because she is, and her family also, depending on Allāh not for people. Make her this, what she suffering, make her maqām higher and higher. And we are knowing sometimes we maybe not help her too much or n
