ot but she is whole time happy with every people and she forgive every people.
Forgiveness it is one of attribute of Allāh and awliyā’ also they [are] like this. What they done for them? They are not want to take revenge, only they are forgive and because
when they forgive they be [make] this people light from no more sin for them. What they done for anybody and Allāh reward who forgive, give him from His endless treasure.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are remembering her and she is, in shā’a Llāh, we meet in Jannah because years going quickly thirteen, fourteen year like yesterday. So, in shā’a Llāh, in Jannah also we will be together. This is for who are living in this "innahum yarawnahu ba‘īdan wanarāhu qarībā" (70:6-7) Allāh He said "who this people they seeing it is very far but we are seeing it is very near." This life it is very short and when we, in shā’a Llāh, we meet again in Jannah, in shā’Allāh. Allāh make her maqām higher and higher, in shā’a Llāh, and make her to make shafā‘ah for us to not be in trouble in Judgement Day, in shā’Allāh.

126.KEEP YOUR PROMISE Thursday, 28 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-awfū bi‘ahdi Llāhi idhā ‘āhadttum." (16:91) When you make a promise, don't forget it. Promise, commitment is loyalty. When you make a promise for something try to keep that promise. If you're not going to keep it, don't promise. You're not forced. There are some things you have to do. Some things you wish by yourself and make a promise saying "I'm going to do this thing." You have to do it. If you're not going to do it, don't speak about it in the first place. If you speak, you have to do it.
Many people sometimes make promises. They forget it saying "I did not promise." That's why if you promise something important - for human being is really forgetful. Allah created human being forgetful so that he forgets hardships, harms and so on. So that he forgets sadness, troubles, grief. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gave human being forgetfulness too as a blessing. But there are some times such important things you have promised - you have to write it down somewhere so as not to forget it at least. "I promised this I'll do this thing." "I promised to do this if Allah wills - but I forgot it." You'll look in the notebook you created. In that notebook - "did I really make a promise to this man or not?" Because some people are now... You have to look at it from both sides. The man hasn't said anything but some people say "you promised me". That's why, in order not to be wrong and not to be deceived by anybody either, if you promise, write it down somewhere. You don't make a promise every day. That is, if there's such a real and necessary promise.
People hardly promise once a year, every two years, every five years. People may forget it as well. Do not put yourself under a burden by speaking too much also, by promising something you will not do. Do not promise. You may make a promise that "if I can fulfill this promise in the future I will do it, but if not, if I don't have a possibility, I cannot do it", you should say. This is a nice thing that in Allah's presence those people who keep their promises are the acceptable ones. "Mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadū Llāha ‘alayh" (33:23). Our first promise is of course to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Everyone made a promise to Him. They must not forget it. We would worship Allah, offer our prayers, get to know Allah, respect our Prophet. We should offer our worship. These are
all the promises we made on the Day of Promises "alastu bi-Rabbikum" (7:172) in the spiritual world. Some people keep these promises here in this world when they come to this world. Most of them however, do not keep their promises. They break their promises. This, as we've said, this is important. This is a promise we all must keep. The other is about promises among people, for dealing with people. They are important as well. For those promises, the one who keeps his promise is known as a good man. For the one who doesn't keep his promise, you'd say this is an illbehaved person, none of his promises are to be trusted. He is a person who doesn't keep his promise. That's why people don't take him seriously. He will come to such a state that nobody will trust his promise nor expect anything from him any longer.
May Allah make us from the people who keep their promise. May Allah help, in shā’Allāh.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "wa-awfū bi‘ahdi" -"idhā ‘āhadttum" (16:91) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying - if you promise you do what you promise. "Inna l-‘ahda kāna mas’ūlā" (17:34). Your promise will asked, "you promise this you didn't do. Why?" You promised and you didn't do. You are now not trustful man, not trustful woman. Many people they are speaking something to they promise but many of them some time they said we are forget. Some time real forgetting this. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla create human being to be forget. Forget[ting is] also a favour from Allāh because if you not forget your miseries, your sadness, your pain, your many thing -when people forget, it is favour from Allāh to not remember all time bad thing. Also this good. But beside this human being they forget another thing also useful thing also. For this if you promise something important you must, advice from us, to write what you promise.
Because not every day you promise. Maybe once a month, once six months, or once a year, you promise something to do for people and it is important thing. Every day if you promise you will be, you cannot make it and Allāh not say to you you must promise, no. You are free You are not obligated to promise something for anybody. But if you promise you must do it and you must not forget. To not forget write in some place.
Promise it is for dunyā and for what real promise we whole human being promise our Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. When Allāh create our soul fifty thousand or five hundred thousand year ago, He ask promise from us to know Him, to accept Him, and to accept what He order us. For this promise very few people they are making their promise, they be sincere for promise. Other people they are not caring about promise and said we don't want to make or we didn't make this. But it is promise to know Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, to respect Prophet, and to pray, to fast, to give zakāh, ṣadaqah, ḥajj. Every this promise from us. But what we said - very few people they are doing this. What will do, what will do. Who doing promise what Allāh ask them, He is happy with them and He is praise
them. He said: "mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadu Llāha ‘alayh" (33:23). "There is men from believer they make and accept and do what they promised. And they are still some of them pass away some of them still waiting. Not changing."
This is to accept, accept promise and to be loyal to your promise it is very big honour. Honourable people who accept and doing this promise. Even in dunyā if somebody promise and not doing what he promise, he is not honourable people. He don't have honour because he is saying - nobody making to say promise but when they say a promise they must do. In shā’Allāh, Allāh make us from these people, acceptable people until end of life, in shā’Allāh. And may Allāh give hidāyah (guidance) for people to do what they promise.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
127.THE GIFTS OF SHAWWAL Friday, 29 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Shukr to Allāh, we had a nice Ramaḍān. And then we had ‘Īd. It is the month of Shawwāl now. The month of Shawwāl is in the middle of the three holy months. For it, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla offered six days of fasting as a gift. It is the sunnah, who can should do it. It is not farḍ. It is sunnah. Who wants goodness for himself can fast then, who wants to increase his thawāb, who wants to increase his light. It is six days.
On the first day of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr you cannot fast. On the next ‘Īd you can't fast for 4 days. It is a sin. There are people called Ṣā’imu d-Dahr, people who always fast. The only days they don't fast in the year are these 5 days. People sometimes get confused and ask if we can fast on ‘Īd, on the first day of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr. Our Prophet would start on the second day. He fasted for six days. And the seventh day is called ‘Īdu l-Abrār. He said it is the feast of people obedient to Allāh on seventh of Shawwāl. You can do like this or fast on separate days. There is a possibility until the end of Shawwāl. You can fast as you like, but important is to fast. If you don't, it is ok too. It has no punishment and no sin. As we said, it is for people who want to increase their goodness.
The fast of Ramadan is 30 days. If you multiply each day by 10 [for Allāh's blessing], it makes 300. Also these six days [become 60]. Makes 360 days. It is counted as if you fasted for a year. Ṣā’imu d-Dahr - as we said earlier, it is as if a man fasts for a whole year. Therefore, who can, should do. And the easiest is to do like our Prophet, to start on the second day of ‘Īd and finish on the seventh day. It is easier for a person. And it goes smoothly after the fast of Ramaḍān, because a person is used to it. Otherwise, it is more difficult when you fast on separate days.
May Allāh let us do these nice things as much as we can. May Allāh help us. May it last until the end of our lives, in shā’Allāh.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are finish Ramaḍān and ‘Īd and now we are in Shawwāl. Shawwāl it is month between holy months Rajab, Sha‘bān, Ramaḍān, - holy months. Afterward Dhū lQa‘dah, Dhū l-Ḥijjah, Muḥarram also holy. Between them - Shawwāl, month of Shawwāl.
And Allāh He make for this month also some occasion for people to get blessed and to get reward. There is six days of fasting also. It is not obligatory, it is sunnah only. Anybody can do it or like to do it, you do it. Because this is only as if Allāh give you some generous gold or jewelery. If you like you can take. If you don't like you can leave it. It is like this. But, alḥamdu liLlāh, Mawlānā he was doing and teaching his murīds to do it.
So the best is to do it like Mawlānā and Prophet. His sunnah, second day of Shawwāl beginning until seventh day finish and day, seventh day and they said [it is] ‘Īdu l-Abrār, feast of pure sincere people. But also you can fast until end of month - day, one day, two days, like this until to finish with six days in Shawwāl. It is in ‘Īd only - in ‘Īd you mustn't fast but in ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr first day you cannot fast. ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá four days you cannot fast. But from second day of Shawwāl you can fast.
But when you are, Allāh reward for each day, ten days in Ramaḍān - 30 meaning 300 days. And He make six days - 60. [It becomes] 360 days. Allāh reward you as you are fasting whole year. There is many people they was doing this fasting whole their life - many of them and their famous one our Prophet's wife Sayyidatunā ‘Ā’ishah. She was fasting, even they said she fasting in when she travel also and when she in every time she was fasting whole year [except] only five days. And Allāh accept us for us to this Ramaḍān and six days of Shawwāl as we are fasting whole Ṣā’imu d-Dahr, whole year fasting, whole life fasting. Alḥamdu liLlāh, it is nice thing. But as we said the easiest to make it and more bless to beginning, from beginning quickly because we are used to fasting in Ramaḍān and when after you continue it is more easy.
Allāh make this easy for us for whole our life, in shā’Allāh. Allāh give us power to look for His, after His, what He love and what He grant us to accept to follow it, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
128.THE MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY Saturday, 30 June 2017
Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is addressing our Prophet. A person comes to you, meets you and talks to you in a nice soft way, speaks very softly, and even takes Allāh as a witness. He even takes Allāh as a witness that he loves you and respects you. He says, "Allah knows as well". But he is not as he says. He is a real enemy. It's not as it seems. This is the interpretation of the Āyah we read in the Friday khuṭbah. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says to our Prophet that this is a dangerous person. He's a person who will harm both property and people. Allāh doesn't love people who do harm. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says they will for sure be punished.
Actually he said this ḥadīth beside a ṣaḥābah (companion), a person. And the companion said, I know this person. There happened a matter of a munāfiq, a hypocrite. Now when this Āyah descended - Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-sha’n is full of examples, instances. This person is not a unique individual. There will be these types of people until Qiyāmah. Allāh doesn't love them. Our Prophet doesn't love people who have enmity like this. He doesn't love people who hold a grudge. He doesn't love people who attempt to harm the people that are on the way of Allāh. They will be the recipients of the greatest torment on the Day of Judgment.
Mankind doesn't know anything. When you're committed to a path - thanks be to Allāh we were born as Muslims. We're going on the way of Islām. There is a right way in everything. Our Prophet says, a Muslim is he who doesn't harm anyone, a Muslim is a brother to another Muslim, and the person who attempts to harm is certainly not on the right way. Do not follow and obey him. You will be hurt. You will get harmed in this world as well as in the hereafter. You're not the property of anyone. You're not the possession of anyone. You're the servant of Allāh. You're the ummah of our Prophet. If there's a person who goes on this way, you may follow him. If he goes astray never follow him because all your works will be wasted, efforts will be wasted. Both your efforts will be wasted and also you'll be a means of fitnah in this world. The curse of Allāh may come upon you. You have to be careful about this.
As the companion said this is not said just for one person. We see the same in our time. There's the right way. People who both harm themselves, and their surrounding families and harm all Muslims as well, must repent. They must come to the right way. After they come to the right way Allāh forgives them. The door of repentance is still open. Repentance means to get rid of sins. Sins are a heavy burden. We need to get them off our back. There're many, as we've said, there are many people who follow their egos. There are many people who sell their hereafter in exchange for the world. There's again
the ḥadīth of our Prophet. Our Prophet says that the people who are in sheep's clothing, that's to say who seem to be like sheep but who cheat, profit from people by means of religion, they'll get such a punishment that they'll be astonished where it came from. Now there are famous ones. There are personalities everyone knows. There are also people who are not well known. All of these are the men of shayṭān. They're deceived by shayṭān. They follow their egos. At least when people fast in these hot days to nullify their whole fast by eating suḥūr three minutes, ten minutes after [the adhān]. When you intentionally do that knowing the time, all your hunger and thirst is wasted. If it's Ramadan, you're counted as you haven't observed the obligatory worship also. Then you'll both be punished and all your efforts will be wasted as well. This is one of the examples.
But leave this aside, people can finish even their lives in the way of these people. We must be careful. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says, these are "aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204). They're most combative, the most vindictive enemy. That is, as they put it, ones ready to kill on the slightest pretext. If he finds the person, they may kill all the people without mercy at all - when He says "aladdu l-khiṣām". Our Prophet says the person Allāh doesn't love most is aladdu l-khiṣām, as seen. Aladdu l-khiṣām the most vindictive, the most enemy, the person with no tolerance at all, is the person Allāh doesn't love. We must be careful about this.
In these, the last days, as we've said, everything is clear. Do not accredit the scholars who have appeared recently, as we say a "very early vegetable", those who just consider themselves as scholars. Scholars from 1400 years ago, from 1000 years ago, from 700, 800 years ago - they were sincere. And also they were closer to our Prophet. They conveyed the best by imitating too much, researching. People who appeared now, after the last Ottomans, actually the Jews and shayṭān and these non-Muslims who demolished the Ottomans in its last period, they are all the same. They're enemies to Islām. They want to make every kind of deceit. They bring out new, brand new people. They bring out people as scholars so as to create new fitnah. Useless men totally, that is. The rāwī, rāwī means the people who narrate the ḥadīth, they must be people for whom not even the slightest, the least suspicion, defect is known by anybody. If you look at the new ones they say so and so, every kind of lie, mistake, fault, sin, every kind of ignominy these people have. After that they bring these out in front of Islām as scholars. And those people who don't know Islām well are cheated by them. They both lose their possessions and some even lose their lives as well in vain. May Allāh protect.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "man yu‘jibuka qawluhū ... "wa-yushhidu Llāha ‘alá mā fī qalbihi wa-huwa aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204) Allāh is saying there are people, when you see them, when you are - maybe, but because they are speaking very nicely, saying "we love you. You are our Prophet. We accept you" - for Prophet saying this. And they are even they make Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla witness for themselves, what they have in
their heart. But Allāh He know them, they are "aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204). The most terrible people they are. They are not accepting people and never will be, can be friend - only enemy, very bad enemy "aladdu l-khiṣām", the most extreme. And they are, when they go out from your place, they like to destroy the field and kill and to make fasād, make fitnah. And Allāh He will punish them He said.
Allāh He does not like fasād, He does not like any harming for people, for property, He does not like this. Because there is people, especially in time this time they are coming for people and they look like they give them advice but only for their [own] benefit they are doing this. And this was for one from munāfiq he was coming to Prophet and he was saying "I'm accept to you and we are, I'm happy with you" and he was very sweet speaking. But when he went he burn one field for ṣaḥābah and killed his sheep and he went away. And Allāh He make him, this for Prophet, and it is example.
Qur’ān full of example from people who are for another people also to be example. Allāh create people who are following his ego, look like for these man. Because one of ṣaḥābah he was saying, Prophet saying there will be people wearing coat of sheep and look like sheep - is very sweet and very gentle, and only what they want to milking people to get benefit from people from money. And he say about this, one of this people there said I know this man. Prophet was saying about him.
He saying Qur’ān giving example for one man but it is for until Qiyamah it will be people like him - to only speak when they come to you, they can speak very softly, very sweet, and you can maybe you can be cheated by them. But be careful Allāh knowing the heart of people. And it is important for people to follow right people. Don't follow people you can maybe from their good speaking you can be cheated by them.
Our way, way of Prophet. From beginning until now this line coming. And it is majority of ummah. But there is every time since Prophet until now, there is people following shayṭān, following their ego. They try to do something to attract people and to milk them. There is many kind of them. They are only harming your money, they taking money and they run away. And there is people they are harming your belief also, taking your money and your belief also. You go out from the right way, way of Prophet. And there is people even they making more - they harming you and they can harm people also through you, to make you to kill them or they kill you. And this is very bad because what you have done it is for nothing, no reward, nothing. You destroy yourself without any benefit.
There is no time without this people. And this people they are not fed up until Qiyāmah it will be and we must be careful. It is from shayṭān and his follower. Follower who are they? Who they not like Islām. The non-Muslim, non-believer now whole world. There is two part, believer or non-believer. The believer, real believer, who are following Prophet's way and other they are against. Even you see them maybe they have look like
Muslim but really they are with non-believer against Islām. Now this time what Prophet saying - there is two part. The time of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām because whole non- believer they are attacking Islām and they are "aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204) the most dangerous enemy, the most envious enemy. But don't worry, you don't be with them. You be careful to not be cheated by this people and to be cursed by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allāh keep us safe until Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām coming. But, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, when every time this becoming more difficult it is meaning it is more near for Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām. Because nothing nobody can fix this bad situation - only Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām he can do it. And every day coming more and more difficult and, in shā’Allāh, we meet him, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
129.REMEMBER HELL Saturday, 1 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-qālū lā tanfirū fī l-ḥarri qul nāru jahannama ashaddu ḥarran law kānū yafqahūn." (9:81)
At one time when our Prophet prepared to travel in such hot weather, in the middle of summer, some hypocrites and some ṣaḥābah among them said "If only we didn't have to travel in such heat. Isn't it better if we wait a little and travel later?" Some people were saying this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla on the contrary says that the fire of hell is even hotter. This heat is nothing - it is for a man to think on what hell is like, so that he sometimes reflects on it. He can't stand it when it's a few degrees hotter in this world. And the orders he didn't follow, he will be made do them in hell by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Those who didn't pray will pray 80 years in hell for every missed prayer. And 80 years is a lifetime here. You pray for 5-10 minutes and say "I can't do it". If you can't, if you don't make tawbah to Allāh, you will be punished.
This heat, as we said, is nothing. Compared to hellfire, it is better than rosewater, it is so light. Therefore, these people think "We came like this, we'll go like this". No one is asking nor doing. It is not like this here, it's not a garden. You will be asked. "We didn't know". You should have known. Adhān is called five times. And when a Muslim passed by, you laughed at him. When he was fasting, you sat in front of him and bullied not to fast. You will be held accountable for all this in hell. You will pay in hell. And to clean up to go to paradise later will take a thousand years. However, you can do it easily in dunyā. Don't look at your neighbors or friends. They are not doing you a favour, they are harming you. Don't obey them. Don't obey your ego. Don't obey shayṭān. Be on the right way. You may suffer a little in dunyā but you'll be relaxed in ākhirah.
May Allāh protect all of us.
Ṣaḥābah - and there is one hypocrite between ṣaḥābah they don't like to go for fighting and some ones... Prophet in middle of summer - like this or and it is summer of desert is more hot, hotter than here. Prophet say: "Oh you must come who can have enough weapon and money for his family, he must come with me. We are going to against non-
believer." Of course hypocrites from beginning they said making excuse. And there was some ṣaḥābah also they said, "Oh we cannot wait little bit to be more cooler. Is it must be now? So we can go later." Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He reply for this - He said, "Fire of hell it is more hot, hotter than this. And there is" Allāh said "there is paradise, there is fire, there is angel, there is God."
All this we are believe in this. And for only one praying time, we didn't pray in world, in your life, Allāh He will make - if you not repent, ask forgiveness - eighty years in fire for only one time of [missed] praying obligatory time. Eighty years very few people they reach eighty years in dunyā, maybe seventy years, sixty years. Seventy years, eighty years very few people. So it is too difficult.
Who are cheated by their friend, cheated by their neighbor, their around people, to not make charity, to not make, to not pray, to not fast - all this it will be, if you are not ask forgiveness you will ask for this, and you will thousand of years you will be in hell. So this is, what we are feeling now from hot, it is nothing. Only Allāh will reward for this, for people who are following order of Allāh. But who is not following they will not be rewarded, only they will be suffering here and suffering in next world. Be clever, be good thinking, to know what is your benefit. Not only benefit to get money anyway you like, it is benefit to be have good end. Even people they are trying for retirement to be have house, to be have car and to be restful in their retirement. But it is more important from retirement, the next life. You must be prepared for this.
And this Allāh give us small thing to remember hell, to remember what we can suffer. Allāh save us from bad end, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
130.MARRIAGE IN ISLAM Sunday, 2 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-ankiḥū layāmá minkum wa ṣ-ṣāliḥīna min ‘ibādikum wa-imā’ikum in yakūnū fuqarā’a yughnihimu Llāhu min faḍlihi wa Llāhu wāsi‘un ‘alīmun." (24:32)
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is giving the order to get married. It is Allāh's order. Our Prophet is saying who can, should do. Who cannot do, should fast. Because marriage is a big pillar -it is the half of religion. Family is one of main pillars of religion and Islamic community. The matter of marriage is a very important thing. Shayṭān is trying to destroy it. He wants to finish mankind. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying marry your daughters and sons. If poor, they can be poor. Allāh will give them prosperity. Everything is in the hands of Allāh. He will increase it. He will expand their livelihood too. And He will send blessings. It is a good day thanks to Allāh. Mawlānā's servant, Shaykh Mehmet Nazim Efendi, in shā’Allāh, is getting married on this nice day. May his marriage be blessed. He has served Mawlānā for a long time. He is one of Mawlānā's beloved, most beloved grandchildren. He served his grandfather day and night. Shukr to Allāh, in shā’a Llāh, this favour is meant for him. He, as we said, is obeying Allāh's order and building a clean, ḥalāl home. And he is receiving blessings with Allāh's permission. But shayṭān doesn't want it, as we said. Just yesterday.
Our Prophet is saying there is no sin bigger than unbelief, kufr. Shayṭān is bringing up new things every day in the unbeliever countries where they don't believe in Allāh. They can make as many laws as they like. Anyway there is no bigger sin than kufr. The biggest sin is kufr. "We made this law, we made that law". That's not important. Important is that a Muslim should stick to the religion of Islām. They should look after their families. They should not look at ḥarām, in shā’Allāh. Because their biggest problem... People in old times would look only at their families. They wouldn't look at others. Now shayṭān has opened everywhere to look. There is a lot of ḥarām. In order for them not to deal with marriage, there are various ḥarām. They are useless, harmful things. Useful is marriage. You earn rewards and protect yourself and get blessings. May Allāh make it good and lucky. May it be blessed, in shā’Allāh. May his life be good and long. May he serve ṭarīqah too. May there be grandchildren of Mawlānā's grandchildren, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He saying in Qur’ān ordering: "Wa-ankiḥū l-ayāmá minkum wa ṣṣāliḥīna min ‘ibādikum wa-imā’ikum in yakūnū fuqarā’a yughnihimu Llāhu min faḍlihi wa Llāhu wāsi‘un ‘alīm" (24:32). Order for Muslim to get married. Man and woman you must marry. If you are poor, Allāh He will make you rich or He will help you. Because Allāh He has everything in His hand and He is wide [spacious], He can make everything wide for you. And He is knowing - "wāsi‘un ‘alīm" (24:32) He is knowing, you don't know. He [someone] said maybe "I'm very poor. I cannot offer [support]." if you are very poor Prophet saying even this you must be, to not fall [into] ḥarām, fasting. But normally everybody, in shā’Allāh, can find somebody suitable for him, he can get married.
And today is nice occasion because, in shā’Allāh, after little bit we will make nikāḥ for Shaykh Mehmet Nāẓim Efendi grandson of Mawlānā. And he was, his service helping his grandfather more than ten years. Day and night he was with him, not leaving him at all. So, in shā’Allāh, Allāh generous him with good wife and he will, in shā’Allāh, Allāh give him long life with happiness, with love and with good children, in shā’Allāh, with barakah. This is very nice, very clean occasion.
This is example from what Allāh order. It is how it is Prophet way, how it is clean. Not this non-believer - every day they are bringing new law. It is dirty, disgusting, and against nature of everything. But what we say, there is one common rule - laysa ba‘da l- kufri dhanb - after non-believer, non-belief, no sin - the biggest sin to be non-belief, non believer. Because you are denying the Creator. It is the worst thing. After this you can do everything what you want, it is not a sin. So for this every day everyone, European - who they said for themself we are civilised - making new law but same law to make it. In remembering, one day the one this, this country from Europe, one from other country, they accept, we accept this disgusting. But it is not important because what they doing it is not for us. For them and it is like who falling in sewage and after something coming on you - "I'm become dirty." You are all dirty. You are destroying family, you destroying human being, nature.
It is not important. Important for us to say, see the how it is beauty and pureness to follow order of Allāh and follow way of Prophet. The most clean, most blessed, most light way. But shayṭān making people blind - saying black they are say this is white and for dirty they said this is our nature. No nature it is with Islām. And fiṭrah, Fiṭratu l-Islām nature of human being - Islām. And we are happy today for this occasion, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. Allāh make them happy whole life and for other, in shā’Allāh. Give hidāyah (guidance) for who are not in hidāyah and give good wife, husband, for unmarried [people], in shā’Allāh.

131.CLEAN YOUR HEART
Sunday, 2 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
It is as Allāh wants. Not your appearance, but rather your inside is important. Not the appearance, but the inside of people should be clean. The outside is not important. The jewel is inside, not on the shell. People are deceived by appearances. Most of the time they are cheated. They get harmed both physically and spiritually. People can deceive many with their appearance.
Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām did not show off. There were three babies who talked when they were newborn, famous holy ones who were mentioned by our Prophet. One of them is ‘Īsa ‘alayhi s-salām. He was far from showing off. And there is an occasion of one servant being accused of something. He prayed to Alla and a baby spoke to clear him. And the third is the baby who was being breastfed, when a grand horseman passed by. He was so majestic that the mother said, May my baby become like him when he grows up, in
shā’Alla
." By the wisdom of Alla
" that baby started talking. He said, "May Alla
not
make me like him." After that he continued breastfeeding. Then they walked for a while longer and one weak skinny slave woman was passing by in a poor condition. His mother looked and belittled her. She said, "May Alla not put my son in such condition." The baby spoke again and said, "May Alla make me like her." The baby had spoken. His mother said, "Why do you say this?" He said, "The showy man was an oppressor. He was someone oppressing people. He is not accepted near Allāh. Even if his appearance is nice, it's not good to be like him. This slave woman whom people call a thief and claim she's on the wrong way, she is a completely pure woman. That's why I prayed like that so that I become a person accepted by Allāh like her. Even if people don't respect me and they accuse me, I will be respected and clean in the presence of Allāh; so that I'm clean from inside, not from outside."
The inside is important because a man wins with his heart, with that jewel. If he has a jewel, he wins. If he's rotten from inside, it won't help. He will lose everything in ākhirah. As we said, appearance in dunyāis not important. Important is; most people, especially in this, the end of times, knowledge remains only outward, our Prophet said. There are
many khutabā and little fuqahā says our Prophet. Many are talking but there is no action. There is knowledge but no deeds. And that becomes a burden for the one who talks. You say but don't do. Therefore, we should be careful. We have to educate our nafs, our heart. May Allāh help us, in shā’Allāh.
Prophet he was humble and not showing, not like to make show to make himself big or to be proud. Nowadays people they are only looking for outside and they are judging people how he dressed, how he is looking and there is for many people they are cheated by this people. Important thing, inside. Don't look for outside. And to judge – this is good man this is not good – no you must just look for how he is behaving, what he is doing, you know if he is good. Not like because he is making – looking very handsome, looking very great. It is not important. Important thing – inside. This is for from before also but these days it is more and more.
And Prophet he saying in one ḥadīth: there is three baby they was speaking when they was baby. First of them Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s–salam̄ ‘Īsá bin Maryam ‘alayhi s-salām. He is even in his mother's womb he was speaking to Sayyidatinā Maryam. He was speak with her, his mother before birth. And Allāh teach him all knowledge, even he was knowing Torah by heart in his mother's womb, inside his mother and he was speaking. This is known, this is first one, ‘Īsá ibn Maryam ‘alayhi s-salām. Second one, one worshipper they make him for accusing for something and he was making du‘a’̄ and this baby he speak and he said making to be clean. Third one, one baby he is feeding from his mother breast. And when his mother sitting and looking one horseman, he look very good, very proud, very rich and great. His mother looking what is this, she cannot take her eyes from him, from this very big thing for her. All every mother they like their children to be great people. She make du‘ā’ for Allāh: "O my Lord make my son also like this man. He is very great, very big and very good I think." Not I think, she think – she is believe for this. Suddenly this boy – he was small, still baby – said, "O my Lord, don't make me like him." And after little bit this man went and other one slave woman, young woman, she was passing also through there and she was look miserable and everybody, everyone hate her. And she walking from here, mother, when she see this also she become not happy with this scenery and say, "O my Lord don't make my son like this woman, very low." He said and speak again, said: "O my Lord make him, make me like her." But, subḥānAllāh, she saying why you saying this? He said: "First one he was oppressor, he was tyrant. He look like good but he is oppressing people, making every bad thing for people. I don't like to be like him. But second one she was pure and poor – not like what they said. They said for she is thief, she is out of the way, going with to make bad thing. She never like this. Only people accuse her and she is acceptable from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla."
So what we are in need to clean our heart. Outside not important. Because this boy, because they are pure, small. Baby they are pure, they are knowing but only this three of
them speak. If every baby speak here maybe most of people they become, must become believer. But because test for, people to believe without seeing, so Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla give, tell us through Prophet through Qur’ān, for this people be careful, don't be cheated by bad people and to leave good people and to make clean your heart before making your outside shell good. The most important from inside to be nice, to be clean, to be pure. And this is, in shā’Allāh, duty of ṭarīqah to clean people from badness, in shā’Allāh.
Because Prophet saying at the end of time it will be many speaker, they are speaking very nice, very good but very few people who are practicing and they are knowing the real belief. And nowadays like this, they are speaking but they are not doing anything, just speaking hours without doing anything. This is akhir time, of end of time. So, in shā’Allāh, keep us in right way and make us to clean our heart to be find real jewel because jewel inside. Some people they have jewel, some people they have dustbin inside. So we must, in shā’Allāh, our heart to be like jewel, in shā’Allāh.

132.AGENTS OF SHAYTAN Monday, 3 July 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, "Kullukum rā‘in, wa kullukum mas’ūlun ‘an ra‘īyatihi." Our Prophet is saying, "You are all shepherds. You are responsible for your flock." People behind you, your flock, they follow you. You carry responsibility for them. You should show them the right way. You should tell them what is right and wrong. For them to be always protected from wrong, you should give advice and suggestions. There is no shyness in this issue. You should say, "Be careful. Don't eat ḥarām. Don't look at bad places. Eat and drink from what is clean. Stay away from all evil". You should warn so. And people who come here come for Allāh's pleasure. For them may Allāh help them to stay on the right way.
Usually, "Amarū bil-ma‘rūfi wa-nahaw ‘ani l-munkar" (22:41). When you see something opposing Allāh's orders, change it with your hands. If you can't change with your hands, tell with your tongue not to do that. If you can't do that, do it with your heart. There is always a type of person who orders evil and wishes to remove all goodness. These are people like shayṭān. We are warning you to beware of them. It is not good to feel pity for them. Because feeling pity for them is doing bad for the good ones. When you are coming somewhere, you should either behave properly, or you don't belong there, go somewhere else. People who come here come to struggle to capture their egos. They are people who want to get rid of bad manners and bad characteristics. If the others go to them, they will give harm. Therefore, you can't feel pity for them. "We feel pity. You go somewhere else. We can't follow you.”
But bringing a snake in and letting it bite you, then telling it not to bite is mindlessness. If you don't kill it, you send it away. If you bring it next to you, there will be danger. Therefore, we are acting harshly sometimes. It is necessary for people like this. Because, in shā’a Llāh, right and clear inspiration comes. These people won't improve. We are keeping them away, in shā’Allāh. People who will keep right, people who ask for goodness, will stay, in shā’a Llāh. But bad ones are agents of shayṭān who come for fitnah and to serve themselves. They won't find shelter here with Allāh's permission. Their evil will only harm themselves. Here is the way of Allāh. Here is watched by awliyā’. Our Shaykh is here. Therefore, who comes with good intention certainly finds goodness. Who
comes with bad intention finds it accordingly. May our intention be pure with Allāh's permission.
Prophet saying for to be your intention must be clean. Prophet saying if you see wrong thing you must change it by hand, if not with hand with tongue. But if you also you afraid you must by your heart you must be not happy with this what happen. Our way clean. Our way naṣīḥah, advice, good advice for who are coming here; to give them good advice. Because people coming here to... many kind of people coming here. The intention for most of them they coming with good intention and they will be have, in shā’Allāh, good result. To get they get blessed and Prophet saying everybody they are shepherd - some of them for their family, for some for community, some of them for more people, some for who like their zāwiyah people. So everybody they will ask, "You are responsible for this people. Why you didn't look for them and make them?" They are coming with good intention but sometimes going wrong. For this we are now making little bit sharp for some people who are agent of shayṭān. Because they are not coming here for Allāh - just to like to destroy even everywhere where they see good thing. For this [reason] our way to be not be merciful for them.
This people they are no hope for them, their intention not good. But it is very few very. We know them and al-ḥamdu liLlāh since this time we coming, Mawlānā open this door for to know them and to make them to stop at their limit. We not afraid from shayṭān or his agents. We must say truth. Even they look like very friendly or sincere, no we cannot be cheated by them because our responsibility for our people. We will [be] ask[ed] for them. For this we are careful. For this and saying for our people also - no mercy for this people. Don't say, "maybe they will be coming to right way" because what they do they done. They are... you cannot accept at all thing. Not like to say something but is real, destroying life of people, families.
No mercy for this people. We are not mercy but we are not like them to be in with people they can poison them, they can destroy them. Cannot live with scorpion or with rattlesnake, snake rattle, rattlesnake. You cannot stay with them. So it is if you are mercy[ful] so we can we can send this scorpion or rattlesnake to other place. But here we are not for twenty four hour with people. People also they have ego and they try to clean themself, to cure their, to be win on their ego. And this people coming with shayṭān and with this... So sometimes people saying no mercy, this no mercy for this people. Don't be mercy with this people because it is real against order of Allāh, against Prophet. Because they do everything for this ego, for their desire; not looking for any good thing. Every bad thing they can do. For this we are trying to keep our people [safe]. And who coming like this it will be punished.
We cannot punish them by ourself with physically but awliyā’u Llāh, they will punish because here or other dargāh, other place where people coming for sake of Allāh, they
are all protected with Prophet and awliyā’u Llāh. And they will be real be punished and they will not know from where this coming this punishment. But what we said, we are not by ourself but by heavenly punishment they will punished. Allāh keep them away from our people, our who are in way of Allāh. Because way of Allāh still very few people they are coming to way of Allāh. Even this the shayṭān and his follower cannot be accept it. They will, they don't like to let one mu’min, one believer, in this world. They trying, they attacking whole time. Be careful. Don't follow your ego or this people and don't be mercy with them. Don't speak to them.

133.MAKE IT EASY Tuesday, 4 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Prophet says, "Yassirū wa lā tu‘assirū bashshirū wa lā tunaffirū." This is good tidings from our Prophet to his ummah. He says, do not make it very difficult. Do not make the religion difficult. You offer the prayers ṣalāh, it's okay. You make your intention facing the qiblah, for the sake of Allāh, sunnah or farḍ whatever, it is you're offering, when you make your intention, it's okay. Immediately utter takbīr, start the ṣalāh. The stuff within the ṣalāh is already specified. Now some people ask, have we stood up for ṣalāh or not - not in our country too much but in other countries - they stand up for ṣalāh behind the imām. He says the takbīr and instantly they say Allāhu Akbar and think - "part of it was not okay", and so release their hands and start all over. That is, the imām is about to bow for rukū‘ and they still haven't uttered the obligatory takbīr of ṣalāh.
Such things are from shayṭān. This is waswasah, insinuating whispers of the devil in order to make it difficult. And when there's difficulty, the person says, "I can't do it." He leaves and doesn't do it at all. But Allāh's order to you is, "Offer ṣalāh". Takbīr - Allāhu Akbar - starts ṣalāh. If you're behind the imām for the farḍ prayer say, "I intend to follow the imām." You pronounce the takbīr, you follow him. When wuḍū’ ablution is done correctly there's no need for doubt. And the same goes for when performing wuḍū’. You say "BismiLlāh", you start performing wuḍū’. Never question - well it's done okay or not okay? It's done okay. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says, "Let there be easiness for you." "Well, am I a follower on this way?" You're a follower on this way for sure. After you've taken bay‘ah, oath of allegiance, you're a follower. After you have been accepted, the mashāyikh have accepted you. You continue on this way.
"Well, is my rābiṭah, connection, good or not?" What we call rābiṭah - remembering your Shaykh is rābiṭah. That is enough. It's not that in any case that you are sitting and your Shaykh comes and stands over you. No. You make your rābiṭah. That much is okay. Do your wird practices as much as you're given. Allāh will give their blessings, rewards to you. That is to say, neither in religion nor ṭarīqah is there difficulty. Whatever easiness there is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us. If we make it difficult, we're making it difficult. That's why to join this way, to follow this way, or to be on Islām's way is not difficult.
The one who makes it difficult, as we've said, is shayṭān that - "is it okay or not okay?", "your wuḍū’ is not okay, start it again", 'your ṣalāh is not okay don't say the takbīr". The Imām would already be bowing for rukū‘ and you will be deprived of a big benefit. Because the person who follows imām at his first takbīr is not like the one who follows him by the takbīrs afterwards or by the rukū‘ or who misses one rak‘ah. We say Allāhu Akbar - as soon as the imām says Allāhu Akbar you must also say Allāhu Akbar.
That's why don't be late. Don't make waswasah. Don't be engaged in other matters. It's easiness. And behave with easiness to everyone also.
Prophet he say, "Yassirū wa lā tu‘assirū bashshirū wa lā tunaffirū." "Inna d-dīna yusurun." He said our religion it is easy and make it easy who are calling people for Islām, for religion for ṭarīqah. Make it easy, not make it to make it difficult. It is easy also.
But many people they are making for themself, for other people also, to be difficult. Allāh order for you to pray and we say make intention - "I want to pray sunnah". Quickly make "Allāhu Akbar" after beginning to. For farḍ also same thing. But there is people making intention, they like to see Ka‘bah in front of them. Praying "Allāhu Akbar" - "no not like this." Second time, "Allāhu Akbar". This in not in our country but there is country in Far East especially they are doing this. Many people. Even imām maybe he will got to rukū‘, [the people] still this trying to make takbīr first takbīr for farḍ. It is not - what are you doing? This is shayṭān make you to be late, to one rak‘ah without imām will miss or he make takbīr when you are praying sunnah. It make too long so maybe you leave sunnah for this.
For this our religion, our ṭarīqah, it is easy. Just make intention _ "I am intention to follow this imām farḍ for ẓuhr." Allāhu, he said "Allāhu Akbar" im

ot but she is whole time happy with every people and she forgive every people.
Forgiveness it is one of attribute of Allāh and awliyā’ also they [are] like this. What they done for them? They are not want to take revenge, only they are forgive and because
when they forgive they be [make] this people light from no more sin for them. What they done for anybody and Allāh reward who forgive, give him from His endless treasure.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are remembering her and she is, in shā’a Llāh, we meet in Jannah because years going quickly thirteen, fourteen year like yesterday. So, in shā’a Llāh, in Jannah also we will be together. This is for who are living in this "innahum yarawnahu ba‘īdan wanarāhu qarībā" (70:6-7) Allāh He said "who this people they seeing it is very far but we are seeing it is very near." This life it is very short and when we, in shā’a Llāh, we meet again in Jannah, in shā’Allāh. Allāh make her maqām higher and higher, in shā’a Llāh, and make her to make shafā‘ah for us to not be in trouble in Judgement Day, in shā’Allāh.

126.KEEP YOUR PROMISE Thursday, 28 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-awfū bi‘ahdi Llāhi idhā ‘āhadttum." (16:91) When you make a promise, don't forget it. Promise, commitment is loyalty. When you make a promise for something try to keep that promise. If you're not going to keep it, don't promise. You're not forced. There are some things you have to do. Some things you wish by yourself and make a promise saying "I'm going to do this thing." You have to do it. If you're not going to do it, don't speak about it in the first place. If you speak, you have to do it.
Many people sometimes make promises. They forget it saying "I did not promise." That's why if you promise something important - for human being is really forgetful. Allah created human being forgetful so that he forgets hardships, harms and so on. So that he forgets sadness, troubles, grief. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gave human being forgetfulness too as a blessing. But there are some times such important things you have promised - you have to write it down somewhere so as not to forget it at least. "I promised this I'll do this thing." "I promised to do this if Allah wills - but I forgot it." You'll look in the notebook you created. In that notebook - "did I really make a promise to this man or not?" Because some people are now... You have to look at it from both sides. The man hasn't said anything but some people say "you promised me". That's why, in order not to be wrong and not to be deceived by anybody either, if you promise, write it down somewhere. You don't make a promise every day. That is, if there's such a real and necessary promise.
People hardly promise once a year, every two years, every five years. People may forget it as well. Do not put yourself under a burden by speaking too much also, by promising something you will not do. Do not promise. You may make a promise that "if I can fulfill this promise in the future I will do it, but if not, if I don't have a possibility, I cannot do it", you should say. This is a nice thing that in Allah's presence those people who keep their promises are the acceptable ones. "Mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadū Llāha ‘alayh" (33:23). Our first promise is of course to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Everyone made a promise to Him. They must not forget it. We would worship Allah, offer our prayers, get to know Allah, respect our Prophet. We should offer our worship. These are
all the promises we made on the Day of Promises "alastu bi-Rabbikum" (7:172) in the spiritual world. Some people keep these promises here in this world when they come to this world. Most of them however, do not keep their promises. They break their promises. This, as we've said, this is important. This is a promise we all must keep. The other is about promises among people, for dealing with people. They are important as well. For those promises, the one who keeps his promise is known as a good man. For the one who doesn't keep his promise, you'd say this is an illbehaved person, none of his promises are to be trusted. He is a person who doesn't keep his promise. That's why people don't take him seriously. He will come to such a state that nobody will trust his promise nor expect anything from him any longer.
May Allah make us from the people who keep their promise. May Allah help, in shā’Allāh.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "wa-awfū bi‘ahdi" -"idhā ‘āhadttum" (16:91) Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying - if you promise you do what you promise. "Inna l-‘ahda kāna mas’ūlā" (17:34). Your promise will asked, "you promise this you didn't do. Why?" You promised and you didn't do. You are now not trustful man, not trustful woman. Many people they are speaking something to they promise but many of them some time they said we are forget. Some time real forgetting this. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla create human being to be forget. Forget[ting is] also a favour from Allāh because if you not forget your miseries, your sadness, your pain, your many thing -when people forget, it is favour from Allāh to not remember all time bad thing. Also this good. But beside this human being they forget another thing also useful thing also. For this if you promise something important you must, advice from us, to write what you promise.
Because not every day you promise. Maybe once a month, once six months, or once a year, you promise something to do for people and it is important thing. Every day if you promise you will be, you cannot make it and Allāh not say to you you must promise, no. You are free You are not obligated to promise something for anybody. But if you promise you must do it and you must not forget. To not forget write in some place.
Promise it is for dunyā and for what real promise we whole human being promise our Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. When Allāh create our soul fifty thousand or five hundred thousand year ago, He ask promise from us to know Him, to accept Him, and to accept what He order us. For this promise very few people they are making their promise, they be sincere for promise. Other people they are not caring about promise and said we don't want to make or we didn't make this. But it is promise to know Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, to respect Prophet, and to pray, to fast, to give zakāh, ṣadaqah, ḥajj. Every this promise from us. But what we said - very few people they are doing this. What will do, what will do. Who doing promise what Allāh ask them, He is happy with them and He is praise
them. He said: "mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadu Llāha ‘alayh" (33:23). "There is men from believer they make and accept and do what they promised. And they are still some of them pass away some of them still waiting. Not changing."
This is to accept, accept promise and to be loyal to your promise it is very big honour. Honourable people who accept and doing this promise. Even in dunyā if somebody promise and not doing what he promise, he is not honourable people. He don't have honour because he is saying - nobody making to say promise but when they say a promise they must do. In shā’Allāh, Allāh make us from these people, acceptable people until end of life, in shā’Allāh. And may Allāh give hidāyah (guidance) for people to do what they promise.

127.THE GIFTS OF SHAWWAL Friday, 29 June 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Shukr to Allāh, we had a nice Ramaḍān. And then we had ‘Īd. It is the month of Shawwāl now. The month of Shawwāl is in the middle of the three holy months. For it, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla offered six days of fasting as a gift. It is the sunnah, who can should do it. It is not farḍ. It is sunnah. Who wants goodness for himself can fast then, who wants to increase his thawāb, who wants to increase his light. It is six days.
On the first day of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr you cannot fast. On the next ‘Īd you can't fast for 4 days. It is a sin. There are people called Ṣā’imu d-Dahr, people who always fast. The only days they don't fast in the year are these 5 days. People sometimes get confused and ask if we can fast on ‘Īd, on the first day of ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr. Our Prophet would start on the second day. He fasted for six days. And the seventh day is called ‘Īdu l-Abrār. He said it is the feast of people obedient to Allāh on seventh of Shawwāl. You can do like this or fast on separate days. There is a possibility until the end of Shawwāl. You can fast as you like, but important is to fast. If you don't, it is ok too. It has no punishment and no sin. As we said, it is for people who want to increase their goodness.
The fast of Ramadan is 30 days. If you multiply each day by 10 [for Allāh's blessing], it makes 300. Also these six days [become 60]. Makes 360 days. It is counted as if you fasted for a year. Ṣā’imu d-Dahr - as we said earlier, it is as if a man fasts for a whole year. Therefore, who can, should do. And the easiest is to do like our Prophet, to start on the second day of ‘Īd and finish on the seventh day. It is easier for a person. And it goes smoothly after the fast of Ramaḍān, because a person is used to it. Otherwise, it is more difficult when you fast on separate days.
May Allāh let us do these nice things as much as we can. May Allāh help us. May it last until the end of our lives, in shā’Allāh.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are finish Ramaḍān and ‘Īd and now we are in Shawwāl. Shawwāl it is month between holy months Rajab, Sha‘bān, Ramaḍān, - holy months. Afterward Dhū lQa‘dah, Dhū l-Ḥijjah, Muḥarram also holy. Between them - Shawwāl, month of Shawwāl.
And Allāh He make for this month also some occasion for people to get blessed and to get reward. There is six days of fasting also. It is not obligatory, it is sunnah only. Anybody can do it or like to do it, you do it. Because this is only as if Allāh give you some generous gold or jewelery. If you like you can take. If you don't like you can leave it. It is like this. But, alḥamdu liLlāh, Mawlānā he was doing and teaching his murīds to do it.
So the best is to do it like Mawlānā and Prophet. His sunnah, second day of Shawwāl beginning until seventh day finish and day, seventh day and they said [it is] ‘Īdu l-Abrār, feast of pure sincere people. But also you can fast until end of month - day, one day, two days, like this until to finish with six days in Shawwāl. It is in ‘Īd only - in ‘Īd you mustn't fast but in ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr first day you cannot fast. ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá four days you cannot fast. But from second day of Shawwāl you can fast.
But when you are, Allāh reward for each day, ten days in Ramaḍān - 30 meaning 300 days. And He make six days - 60. [It becomes] 360 days. Allāh reward you as you are fasting whole year. There is many people they was doing this fasting whole their life - many of them and their famous one our Prophet's wife Sayyidatunā ‘Ā’ishah. She was fasting, even they said she fasting in when she travel also and when she in every time she was fasting whole year [except] only five days. And Allāh accept us for us to this Ramaḍān and six days of Shawwāl as we are fasting whole Ṣā’imu d-Dahr, whole year fasting, whole life fasting. Alḥamdu liLlāh, it is nice thing. But as we said the easiest to make it and more bless to beginning, from beginning quickly because we are used to fasting in Ramaḍān and when after you continue it is more easy.
Allāh make this easy for us for whole our life, in shā’Allāh. Allāh give us power to look for His, after His, what He love and what He grant us to accept to follow it, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
128.THE MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY Saturday, 30 June 2017
Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is addressing our Prophet. A person comes to you, meets you and talks to you in a nice soft way, speaks very softly, and even takes Allāh as a witness. He even takes Allāh as a witness that he loves you and respects you. He says, "Allah knows as well". But he is not as he says. He is a real enemy. It's not as it seems. This is the interpretation of the Āyah we read in the Friday khuṭbah. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says to our Prophet that this is a dangerous person. He's a person who will harm both property and people. Allāh doesn't love people who do harm. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says they will for sure be punished.
Actually he said this ḥadīth beside a ṣaḥābah (companion), a person. And the companion said, I know this person. There happened a matter of a munāfiq, a hypocrite. Now when this Āyah descended - Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-sha’n is full of examples, instances. This person is not a unique individual. There will be these types of people until Qiyāmah. Allāh doesn't love them. Our Prophet doesn't love people who have enmity like this. He doesn't love people who hold a grudge. He doesn't love people who attempt to harm the people that are on the way of Allāh. They will be the recipients of the greatest torment on the Day of Judgment.
Mankind doesn't know anything. When you're committed to a path - thanks be to Allāh we were born as Muslims. We're going on the way of Islām. There is a right way in everything. Our Prophet says, a Muslim is he who doesn't harm anyone, a Muslim is a brother to another Muslim, and the person who attempts to harm is certainly not on the right way. Do not follow and obey him. You will be hurt. You will get harmed in this world as well as in the hereafter. You're not the property of anyone. You're not the possession of anyone. You're the servant of Allāh. You're the ummah of our Prophet. If there's a person who goes on this way, you may follow him. If he goes astray never follow him because all your works will be wasted, efforts will be wasted. Both your efforts will be wasted and also you'll be a means of fitnah in this world. The curse of Allāh may come upon you. You have to be careful about this.
As the companion said this is not said just for one person. We see the same in our time. There's the right way. People who both harm themselves, and their surrounding families and harm all Muslims as well, must repent. They must come to the right way. After they come to the right way Allāh forgives them. The door of repentance is still open. Repentance means to get rid of sins. Sins are a heavy burden. We need to get them off our back. There're many, as we've said, there are many people who follow their egos. There are many people who sell their hereafter in exchange for the world. There's again
the ḥadīth of our Prophet. Our Prophet says that the people who are in sheep's clothing, that's to say who seem to be like sheep but who cheat, profit from people by means of religion, they'll get such a punishment that they'll be astonished where it came from. Now there are famous ones. There are personalities everyone knows. There are also people who are not well known. All of these are the men of shayṭān. They're deceived by shayṭān. They follow their egos. At least when people fast in these hot days to nullify their whole fast by eating suḥūr three minutes, ten minutes after [the adhān]. When you intentionally do that knowing the time, all your hunger and thirst is wasted. If it's Ramadan, you're counted as you haven't observed the obligatory worship also. Then you'll both be punished and all your efforts will be wasted as well. This is one of the examples.
But leave this aside, people can finish even their lives in the way of these people. We must be careful. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says, these are "aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204). They're most combative, the most vindictive enemy. That is, as they put it, ones ready to kill on the slightest pretext. If he finds the person, they may kill all the people without mercy at all - when He says "aladdu l-khiṣām". Our Prophet says the person Allāh doesn't love most is aladdu l-khiṣām, as seen. Aladdu l-khiṣām the most vindictive, the most enemy, the person with no tolerance at all, is the person Allāh doesn't love. We must be careful about this.
In these, the last days, as we've said, everything is clear. Do not accredit the scholars who have appeared recently, as we say a "very early vegetable", those who just consider themselves as scholars. Scholars from 1400 years ago, from 1000 years ago, from 700, 800 years ago - they were sincere. And also they were closer to our Prophet. They conveyed the best by imitating too much, researching. People who appeared now, after the last Ottomans, actually the Jews and shayṭān and these non-Muslims who demolished the Ottomans in its last period, they are all the same. They're enemies to Islām. They want to make every kind of deceit. They bring out new, brand new people. They bring out people as scholars so as to create new fitnah. Useless men totally, that is. The rāwī, rāwī means the people who narrate the ḥadīth, they must be people for whom not even the slightest, the least suspicion, defect is known by anybody. If you look at the new ones they say so and so, every kind of lie, mistake, fault, sin, every kind of ignominy these people have. After that they bring these out in front of Islām as scholars. And those people who don't know Islām well are cheated by them. They both lose their possessions and some even lose their lives as well in vain. May Allāh protect.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He said in Qur’ān "man yu‘jibuka qawluhū ... "wa-yushhidu Llāha ‘alá mā fī qalbihi wa-huwa aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204) Allāh is saying there are people, when you see them, when you are - maybe, but because they are speaking very nicely, saying "we love you. You are our Prophet. We accept you" - for Prophet saying this. And they are even they make Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla witness for themselves, what they have in
their heart. But Allāh He know them, they are "aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204). The most terrible people they are. They are not accepting people and never will be, can be friend - only enemy, very bad enemy "aladdu l-khiṣām", the most extreme. And they are, when they go out from your place, they like to destroy the field and kill and to make fasād, make fitnah. And Allāh He will punish them He said.
Allāh He does not like fasād, He does not like any harming for people, for property, He does not like this. Because there is people, especially in time this time they are coming for people and they look like they give them advice but only for their [own] benefit they are doing this. And this was for one from munāfiq he was coming to Prophet and he was saying "I'm accept to you and we are, I'm happy with you" and he was very sweet speaking. But when he went he burn one field for ṣaḥābah and killed his sheep and he went away. And Allāh He make him, this for Prophet, and it is example.
Qur’ān full of example from people who are for another people also to be example. Allāh create people who are following his ego, look like for these man. Because one of ṣaḥābah he was saying, Prophet saying there will be people wearing coat of sheep and look like sheep - is very sweet and very gentle, and only what they want to milking people to get benefit from people from money. And he say about this, one of this people there said I know this man. Prophet was saying about him.
He saying Qur’ān giving example for one man but it is for until Qiyamah it will be people like him - to only speak when they come to you, they can speak very softly, very sweet, and you can maybe you can be cheated by them. But be careful Allāh knowing the heart of people. And it is important for people to follow right people. Don't follow people you can maybe from their good speaking you can be cheated by them.
Our way, way of Prophet. From beginning until now this line coming. And it is majority of ummah. But there is every time since Prophet until now, there is people following shayṭān, following their ego. They try to do something to attract people and to milk them. There is many kind of them. They are only harming your money, they taking money and they run away. And there is people they are harming your belief also, taking your money and your belief also. You go out from the right way, way of Prophet. And there is people even they making more - they harming you and they can harm people also through you, to make you to kill them or they kill you. And this is very bad because what you have done it is for nothing, no reward, nothing. You destroy yourself without any benefit.
There is no time without this people. And this people they are not fed up until Qiyāmah it will be and we must be careful. It is from shayṭān and his follower. Follower who are they? Who they not like Islām. The non-Muslim, non-believer now whole world. There is two part, believer or non-believer. The believer, real believer, who are following Prophet's way and other they are against. Even you see them maybe they have look like
Muslim but really they are with non-believer against Islām. Now this time what Prophet saying - there is two part. The time of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām because whole non- believer they are attacking Islām and they are "aladdu l-khiṣām" (2:204) the most dangerous enemy, the most envious enemy. But don't worry, you don't be with them. You be careful to not be cheated by this people and to be cursed by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allāh keep us safe until Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām coming. But, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, when every time this becoming more difficult it is meaning it is more near for Mahdī ‘alayhi ssalām. Because nothing nobody can fix this bad situation - only Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām he can do it. And every day coming more and more difficult and, in shā’Allāh, we meet him, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
129.REMEMBER HELL Saturday, 1 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-qālū lā tanfirū fī l-ḥarri qul nāru jahannama ashaddu ḥarran law kānū yafqahūn." (9:81)
At one time when our Prophet prepared to travel in such hot weather, in the middle of summer, some hypocrites and some ṣaḥābah among them said "If only we didn't have to travel in such heat. Isn't it better if we wait a little and travel later?" Some people were saying this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla on the contrary says that the fire of hell is even hotter. This heat is nothing - it is for a man to think on what hell is like, so that he sometimes reflects on it. He can't stand it when it's a few degrees hotter in this world. And the orders he didn't follow, he will be made do them in hell by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Those who didn't pray will pray 80 years in hell for every missed prayer. And 80 years is a lifetime here. You pray for 5-10 minutes and say "I can't do it". If you can't, if you don't make tawbah to Allāh, you will be punished.
This heat, as we said, is nothing. Compared to hellfire, it is better than rosewater, it is so light. Therefore, these people think "We came like this, we'll go like this". No one is asking nor doing. It is not like this here, it's not a garden. You will be asked. "We didn't know". You should have known. Adhān is called five times. And when a Muslim passed by, you laughed at him. When he was fasting, you sat in front of him and bullied not to fast. You will be held accountable for all this in hell. You will pay in hell. And to clean up to go to paradise later will take a thousand years. However, you can do it easily in dunyā. Don't look at your neighbors or friends. They are not doing you a favour, they are harming you. Don't obey them. Don't obey your ego. Don't obey shayṭān. Be on the right way. You may suffer a little in dunyā but you'll be relaxed in ākhirah.
May Allāh protect all of us.
Ṣaḥābah - and there is one hypocrite between ṣaḥābah they don't like to go for fighting and some ones... Prophet in middle of summer - like this or and it is summer of desert is more hot, hotter than here. Prophet say: "Oh you must come who can have enough weapon and money for his family, he must come with me. We are going to against non-
believer." Of course hypocrites from beginning they said making excuse. And there was some ṣaḥābah also they said, "Oh we cannot wait little bit to be more cooler. Is it must be now? So we can go later." Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He reply for this - He said, "Fire of hell it is more hot, hotter than this. And there is" Allāh said "there is paradise, there is fire, there is angel, there is God."
All this we are believe in this. And for only one praying time, we didn't pray in world, in your life, Allāh He will make - if you not repent, ask forgiveness - eighty years in fire for only one time of [missed] praying obligatory time. Eighty years very few people they reach eighty years in dunyā, maybe seventy years, sixty years. Seventy years, eighty years very few people. So it is too difficult.
Who are cheated by their friend, cheated by their neighbor, their around people, to not make charity, to not make, to not pray, to not fast - all this it will be, if you are not ask forgiveness you will ask for this, and you will thousand of years you will be in hell. So this is, what we are feeling now from hot, it is nothing. Only Allāh will reward for this, for people who are following order of Allāh. But who is not following they will not be rewarded, only they will be suffering here and suffering in next world. Be clever, be good thinking, to know what is your benefit. Not only benefit to get money anyway you like, it is benefit to be have good end. Even people they are trying for retirement to be have house, to be have car and to be restful in their retirement. But it is more important from retirement, the next life. You must be prepared for this.
And this Allāh give us small thing to remember hell, to remember what we can suffer. Allāh save us from bad end, in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
130.MARRIAGE IN ISLAM Sunday, 2 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-ankiḥū layāmá minkum wa ṣ-ṣāliḥīna min ‘ibādikum wa-imā’ikum in yakūnū fuqarā’a yughnihimu Llāhu min faḍlihi wa Llāhu wāsi‘un ‘alīmun." (24:32)
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is giving the order to get married. It is Allāh's order. Our Prophet is saying who can, should do. Who cannot do, should fast. Because marriage is a big pillar -it is the half of religion. Family is one of main pillars of religion and Islamic community. The matter of marriage is a very important thing. Shayṭān is trying to destroy it. He wants to finish mankind. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying marry your daughters and sons. If poor, they can be poor. Allāh will give them prosperity. Everything is in the hands of Allāh. He will increase it. He will expand their livelihood too. And He will send blessings. It is a good day thanks to Allāh. Mawlānā's servant, Shaykh Mehmet Nazim Efendi, in shā’Allāh, is getting married on this nice day. May his marriage be blessed. He has served Mawlānā for a long time. He is one of Mawlānā's beloved, most beloved grandchildren. He served his grandfather day and night. Shukr to Allāh, in shā’a Llāh, this favour is meant for him. He, as we said, is obeying Allāh's order and building a clean, ḥalāl home. And he is receiving blessings with Allāh's permission. But shayṭān doesn't want it, as we said. Just yesterday.
Our Prophet is saying there is no sin bigger than unbelief, kufr. Shayṭān is bringing up new things every day in the unbeliever countries where they don't believe in Allāh. They can make as many laws as they like. Anyway there is no bigger sin than kufr. The biggest sin is kufr. "We made this law, we made that law". That's not important. Important is that a Muslim should stick to the religion of Islām. They should look after their families. They should not look at ḥarām, in shā’Allāh. Because their biggest problem... People in old times would look only at their families. They wouldn't look at others. Now shayṭān has opened everywhere to look. There is a lot of ḥarām. In order for them not to deal with marriage, there are various ḥarām. They are useless, harmful things. Useful is marriage. You earn rewards and protect yourself and get blessings. May Allāh make it good and lucky. May it be blessed, in shā’Allāh. May his life be good and long. May he serve ṭarīqah too. May there be grandchildren of Mawlānā's grandchildren, in shā’Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He saying in Qur’ān ordering: "Wa-ankiḥū l-ayāmá minkum wa ṣṣāliḥīna min ‘ibādikum wa-imā’ikum in yakūnū fuqarā’a yughnihimu Llāhu min faḍlihi wa Llāhu wāsi‘un ‘alīm" (24:32). Order for Muslim to get married. Man and woman you must marry. If you are poor, Allāh He will make you rich or He will help you. Because Allāh He has everything in His hand and He is wide [spacious], He can make everything wide for you. And He is knowing - "wāsi‘un ‘alīm" (24:32) He is knowing, you don't know. He [someone] said maybe "I'm very poor. I cannot offer [support]." if you are very poor Prophet saying even this you must be, to not fall [into] ḥarām, fasting. But normally everybody, in shā’Allāh, can find somebody suitable for him, he can get married.
And today is nice occasion because, in shā’Allāh, after little bit we will make nikāḥ for Shaykh Mehmet Nāẓim Efendi grandson of Mawlānā. And he was, his service helping his grandfather more than ten years. Day and night he was with him, not leaving him at all. So, in shā’Allāh, Allāh generous him with good wife and he will, in shā’Allāh, Allāh give him long life with happiness, with love and with good children, in shā’Allāh, with barakah. This is very nice, very clean occasion.
This is example from what Allāh order. It is how it is Prophet way, how it is clean. Not this non-believer - every day they are bringing new law. It is dirty, disgusting, and against nature of everything. But what we say, there is one common rule - laysa ba‘da l- kufri dhanb - after non-believer, non-belief, no sin - the biggest sin to be non-belief, non believer. Because you are denying the Creator. It is the worst thing. After this you can do everything what you want, it is not a sin. So for this every day everyone, European - who they said for themself we are civilised - making new law but same law to make it. In remembering, one day the one this, this country from Europe, one from other country, they accept, we accept this disgusting. But it is not important because what they doing it is not for us. For them and it is like who falling in sewage and after something coming on you - "I'm become dirty." You are all dirty. You are destroying family, you destroying human being, nature.
It is not important. Important for us to say, see the how it is beauty and pureness to follow order of Allāh and follow way of Prophet. The most clean, most blessed, most light way. But shayṭān making people blind - saying black they are say this is white and for dirty they said this is our nature. No nature it is with Islām. And fiṭrah, Fiṭratu l-Islām nature of human being - Islām. And we are happy today for this occasion, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. Allāh make them happy whole life and for other, in shā’Allāh. Give hidāyah (guidance) for who are not in hidāyah and give good wife, husband, for unmarried [people], in shā’Allāh.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
131.CLEAN YOUR HEART
Sunday, 2 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
It is as Allāh wants. Not your appearance, but rather your inside is important. Not the appearance, but the inside of people should be clean. The outside is not important. The jewel is inside, not on the shell. People are deceived by appearances. Most of the time they are cheated. They get harmed both physically and spiritually. People can deceive many with their appearance.
Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām did not show off. There were three babies who talked when they were newborn, famous holy ones who were mentioned by our Prophet. One of them is ‘Īsa ‘alayhi s-salām. He was far from showing off. And there is an occasion of one servant being accused of something. He prayed to Alla and a baby spoke to clear him. And the third is the baby who was being breastfed, when a grand horseman passed by. He was so majestic that the mother said, May my baby become like him when he grows up, in
shā’Alla
." By the wisdom of Alla
" that baby started talking. He said, "May Alla
not
make me like him." After that he continued breastfeeding. Then they walked for a while longer and one weak skinny slave woman was passing by in a poor condition. His mother looked and belittled her. She said, "May Alla not put my son in such condition." The baby spoke again and said, "May Alla make me like her." The baby had spoken. His mother said, "Why do you say this?" He said, "The showy man was an oppressor. He was someone oppressing people. He is not accepted near Allāh. Even if his appearance is nice, it's not good to be like him. This slave woman whom people call a thief and claim she's on the wrong way, she is a completely pure woman. That's why I prayed like that so that I become a person accepted by Allāh like her. Even if people don't respect me and they accuse me, I will be respected and clean in the presence of Allāh; so that I'm clean from inside, not from outside."
The inside is important because a man wins with his heart, with that jewel. If he has a jewel, he wins. If he's rotten from inside, it won't help. He will lose everything in ākhirah. As we said, appearance in dunyāis not important. Important is; most people, especially in this, the end of times, knowledge remains only outward, our Prophet said. There are
many khutabā and little fuqahā says our Prophet. Many are talking but there is no action. There is knowledge but no deeds. And that becomes a burden for the one who talks. You say but don't do. Therefore, we should be careful. We have to educate our nafs, our heart. May Allāh help us, in shā’Allāh.
Prophet he was humble and not showing, not like to make show to make himself big or to be proud. Nowadays people they are only looking for outside and they are judging people how he dressed, how he is looking and there is for many people they are cheated by this people. Important thing, inside. Don't look for outside. And to judge – this is good man this is not good – no you must just look for how he is behaving, what he is doing, you know if he is good. Not like because he is making – looking very handsome, looking very great. It is not important. Important thing – inside. This is for from before also but these days it is more and more.
And Prophet he saying in one ḥadīth: there is three baby they was speaking when they was baby. First of them Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s–salam̄ ‘Īsá bin Maryam ‘alayhi s-salām. He is even in his mother's womb he was speaking to Sayyidatinā Maryam. He was speak with her, his mother before birth. And Allāh teach him all knowledge, even he was knowing Torah by heart in his mother's womb, inside his mother and he was speaking. This is known, this is first one, ‘Īsá ibn Maryam ‘alayhi s-salām. Second one, one worshipper they make him for accusing for something and he was making du‘a’̄ and this baby he speak and he said making to be clean. Third one, one baby he is feeding from his mother breast. And when his mother sitting and looking one horseman, he look very good, very proud, very rich and great. His mother looking what is this, she cannot take her eyes from him, from this very big thing for her. All every mother they like their children to be great people. She make du‘ā’ for Allāh: "O my Lord make my son also like this man. He is very great, very big and very good I think." Not I think, she think – she is believe for this. Suddenly this boy – he was small, still baby – said, "O my Lord, don't make me like him." And after little bit this man went and other one slave woman, young woman, she was passing also through there and she was look miserable and everybody, everyone hate her. And she walking from here, mother, when she see this also she become not happy with this scenery and say, "O my Lord don't make my son like this woman, very low." He said and speak again, said: "O my Lord make him, make me like her." But, subḥānAllāh, she saying why you saying this? He said: "First one he was oppressor, he was tyrant. He look like good but he is oppressing people, making every bad thing for people. I don't like to be like him. But second one she was pure and poor – not like what they said. They said for she is thief, she is out of the way, going with to make bad thing. She never like this. Only people accuse her and she is acceptable from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla."
So what we are in need to clean our heart. Outside not important. Because this boy, because they are pure, small. Baby they are pure, they are knowing but only this three of
them speak. If every baby speak here maybe most of people they become, must become believer. But because test for, people to believe without seeing, so Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla give, tell us through Prophet through Qur’ān, for this people be careful, don't be cheated by bad people and to leave good people and to make clean your heart before making your outside shell good. The most important from inside to be nice, to be clean, to be pure. And this is, in shā’Allāh, duty of ṭarīqah to clean people from badness, in shā’Allāh.
Because Prophet saying at the end of time it will be many speaker, they are speaking very nice, very good but very few people who are practicing and they are knowing the real belief. And nowadays like this, they are speaking but they are not doing anything, just speaking hours without doing anything. This is akhir time, of end of time. So, in shā’Allāh, keep us in right way and make us to clean our heart to be find real jewel because jewel inside. Some people they have jewel, some people they have dustbin inside. So we must, in shā’Allāh, our heart to be like jewel, in shā’Allāh.

132.AGENTS OF SHAYTAN Monday, 3 July 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, "Kullukum rā‘in, wa kullukum mas’ūlun ‘an ra‘īyatihi." Our Prophet is saying, "You are all shepherds. You are responsible for your flock." People behind you, your flock, they follow you. You carry responsibility for them. You should show them the right way. You should tell them what is right and wrong. For them to be always protected from wrong, you should give advice and suggestions. There is no shyness in this issue. You should say, "Be careful. Don't eat ḥarām. Don't look at bad places. Eat and drink from what is clean. Stay away from all evil". You should warn so. And people who come here come for Allāh's pleasure. For them may Allāh help them to stay on the right way.
Usually, "Amarū bil-ma‘rūfi wa-nahaw ‘ani l-munkar" (22:41). When you see something opposing Allāh's orders, change it with your hands. If you can't change with your hands, tell with your tongue not to do that. If you can't do that, do it with your heart. There is always a type of person who orders evil and wishes to remove all goodness. These are people like shayṭān. We are warning you to beware of them. It is not good to feel pity for them. Because feeling pity for them is doing bad for the good ones. When you are coming somewhere, you should either behave properly, or you don't belong there, go somewhere else. People who come here come to struggle to capture their egos. They are people who want to get rid of bad manners and bad characteristics. If the others go to them, they will give harm. Therefore, you can't feel pity for them. "We feel pity. You go somewhere else. We can't follow you.”
But bringing a snake in and letting it bite you, then telling it not to bite is mindlessness. If you don't kill it, you send it away. If you bring it next to you, there will be danger. Therefore, we are acting harshly sometimes. It is necessary for people like this. Because, in shā’a Llāh, right and clear inspiration comes. These people won't improve. We are keeping them away, in shā’Allāh. People who will keep right, people who ask for goodness, will stay, in shā’a Llāh. But bad ones are agents of shayṭān who come for fitnah and to serve themselves. They won't find shelter here with Allāh's permission. Their evil will only harm themselves. Here is the way of Allāh. Here is watched by awliyā’. Our Shaykh is here. Therefore, who comes with good intention certainly finds goodness. Who
comes with bad intention finds it accordingly. May our intention be pure with Allāh's permission.
Prophet saying for to be your intention must be clean. Prophet saying if you see wrong thing you must change it by hand, if not with hand with tongue. But if you also you afraid you must by your heart you must be not happy with this what happen. Our way clean. Our way naṣīḥah, advice, good advice for who are coming here; to give them good advice. Because people coming here to... many kind of people coming here. The intention for most of them they coming with good intention and they will be have, in shā’Allāh, good result. To get they get blessed and Prophet saying everybody they are shepherd - some of them for their family, for some for community, some of them for more people, some for who like their zāwiyah people. So everybody they will ask, "You are responsible for this people. Why you didn't look for them and make them?" They are coming with good intention but sometimes going wrong. For this we are now making little bit sharp for some people who are agent of shayṭān. Because they are not coming here for Allāh - just to like to destroy even everywhere where they see good thing. For this [reason] our way to be not be merciful for them.
This people they are no hope for them, their intention not good. But it is very few very. We know them and al-ḥamdu liLlāh since this time we coming, Mawlānā open this door for to know them and to make them to stop at their limit. We not afraid from shayṭān or his agents. We must say truth. Even they look like very friendly or sincere, no we cannot be cheated by them because our responsibility for our people. We will [be] ask[ed] for them. For this we are careful. For this and saying for our people also - no mercy for this people. Don't say, "maybe they will be coming to right way" because what they do they done. They are... you cannot accept at all thing. Not like to say something but is real, destroying life of people, families.
No mercy for this people. We are not mercy but we are not like them to be in with people they can poison them, they can destroy them. Cannot live with scorpion or with rattlesnake, snake rattle, rattlesnake. You cannot stay with them. So it is if you are mercy[ful] so we can we can send this scorpion or rattlesnake to other place. But here we are not for twenty four hour with people. People also they have ego and they try to clean themself, to cure their, to be win on their ego. And this people coming with shayṭān and with this... So sometimes people saying no mercy, this no mercy for this people. Don't be mercy with this people because it is real against order of Allāh, against Prophet. Because they do everything for this ego, for their desire; not looking for any good thing. Every bad thing they can do. For this we are trying to keep our people [safe]. And who coming like this it will be punished.
We cannot punish them by ourself with physically but awliyā’u Llāh, they will punish because here or other dargāh, other place where people coming for sake of Allāh, they
are all protected with Prophet and awliyā’u Llāh. And they will be real be punished and they will not know from where this coming this punishment. But what we said, we are not by ourself but by heavenly punishment they will punished. Allāh keep them away from our people, our who are in way of Allāh. Because way of Allāh still very few people they are coming to way of Allāh. Even this the shayṭān and his follower cannot be accept it. They will, they don't like to let one mu’min, one believer, in this world. They trying, they attacking whole time. Be careful. Don't follow your ego or this people and don't be mercy with them. Don't speak to them.

133.MAKE IT EASY Tuesday, 4 July 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Prophet says, "Yassirū wa lā tu‘assirū bashshirū wa lā tunaffirū." This is good tidings from our Prophet to his ummah. He says, do not make it very difficult. Do not make the religion difficult. You offer the prayers ṣalāh, it's okay. You make your intention facing the qiblah, for the sake of Allāh, sunnah or farḍ whatever, it is you're offering, when you make your intention, it's okay. Immediately utter takbīr, start the ṣalāh. The stuff within the ṣalāh is already specified. Now some people ask, have we stood up for ṣalāh or not - not in our country too much but in other countries - they stand up for ṣalāh behind the imām. He says the takbīr and instantly they say Allāhu Akbar and think - "part of it was not okay", and so release their hands and start all over. That is, the imām is about to bow for rukū‘ and they still haven't uttered the obligatory takbīr of ṣalāh.
Such things are from shayṭān. This is waswasah, insinuating whispers of the devil in order to make it difficult. And when there's difficulty, the person says, "I can't do it." He leaves and doesn't do it at all. But Allāh's order to you is, "Offer ṣalāh". Takbīr - Allāhu Akbar - starts ṣalāh. If you're behind the imām for the farḍ prayer say, "I intend to follow the imām." You pronounce the takbīr, you follow him. When wuḍū’ ablution is done correctly there's no need for doubt. And the same goes for when performing wuḍū’. You say "BismiLlāh", you start performing wuḍū’. Never question - well it's done okay or not okay? It's done okay. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says, "Let there be easiness for you." "Well, am I a follower on this way?" You're a follower on this way for sure. After you've taken bay‘ah, oath of allegiance, you're a follower. After you have been accepted, the mashāyikh have accepted you. You continue on this way.
"Well, is my rābiṭah, connection, good or not?" What we call rābiṭah - remembering your Shaykh is rābiṭah. That is enough. It's not that in any case that you are sitting and your Shaykh comes and stands over you. No. You make your rābiṭah. That much is okay. Do your wird practices as much as you're given. Allāh will give their blessings, rewards to you. That is to say, neither in religion nor ṭarīqah is there difficulty. Whatever easiness there is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us. If we make it difficult, we're making it difficult. That's why to join this way, to follow this way, or to be on Islām's way is not difficult.
The one who makes it difficult, as we've said, is shayṭān that - "is it okay or not okay?", "your wuḍū’ is not okay, start it again", 'your ṣalāh is not okay don't say the takbīr". The Imām would already be bowing for rukū‘ and you will be deprived of a big benefit. Because the person who follows imām at his first takbīr is not like the one who follows him by the takbīrs afterwards or by the rukū‘ or who misses one rak‘ah. We say Allāhu Akbar - as soon as the imām says Allāhu Akbar you must also say Allāhu Akbar.
That's why don't be late. Don't make waswasah. Don't be engaged in other matters. It's easiness. And behave with easiness to everyone also.
Prophet he say, "Yassirū wa lā tu‘assirū bashshirū wa lā tunaffirū." "Inna d-dīna yusurun." He said our religion it is easy and make it easy who are calling people for Islām, for religion for ṭarīqah. Make it easy, not make it to make it difficult. It is easy also.
But many people they are making for themself, for other people also, to be difficult. Allāh order for you to pray and we say make intention - "I want to pray sunnah". Quickly make "Allāhu Akbar" after beginning to. For farḍ also same thing. But there is people making intention, they like to see Ka‘bah in front of them. Praying "Allāhu Akbar" - "no not like this." Second time, "Allāhu Akbar". This in not in our country but there is country in Far East especially they are doing this. Many people. Even imām maybe he will got to rukū‘, [the people] still this trying to make takbīr first takbīr for farḍ. It is not - what are you doing? This is shayṭān make you to be late, to one rak‘ah without imām will miss or he make takbīr when you are praying sunnah. It make too long so maybe you leave sunnah for this.
For this our religion, our ṭarīqah, it is easy. Just make intention _ "I am intention to follow this imām farḍ for ẓuhr." Allāhu, he said "Allāhu Akbar" im
