Suhbah 2017: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (23/25)

if he has not guided people. If a person has nothing, does not have a penny to his name, but has been a means for someone’s guidance, guiding that one person is better than owning the whole world to oneself. Everybody should be aware of this.
Shaitan wants to take this away from people too. If you say, “I made these people reach guidance!” you need to stop at “I”. Allah forbid, what you have done might become useless. Sometimes this clever one says (referring to a deputy), “I made a dargah for you and I made that for you.” We do not want it. We do not need anything. We need to do it for Allah. Let everyone do it for Allah. Not to become a man of property or for fame, but we need to work to bring people to the path of Allah. It would be in vain if it is “So I would rise in name and body”. We will do it for Allah. The good we do for ourselves is by not mentioning ourselves, but mentioning Allah and remembering Allah. Everything is for Allah. He is what is important. When a couple of people gather next to him most people say, “Apparently I am such a great one.” Shaitan makes people display
arrogance, they deviate from the path, and all they have done is lost. However, people who do it for Allah have great rewards in the sight of Allah for every person they guide. It is like being granted the whole world.
Therefore, people should not be fooled by Shaitan and say, “I did this and I did that.” Allah helped you. He made you a means to gain so much rewards and guide so many people. This is continuously done for the sake of Allah. People of tariqa should especially be more careful. There is no pride and arrogance in tariqa. Pride and arrogance is found in people who are not in tariqa and hodjas (clerics) who are not in tariqa.
Hodjas are famous for their arrogance. These diseases of the ego exist in great scholars. That is why when a person becomes a scholar, he should certainly gain manners from a tariqa so that he could be useful. So that it would benefit himself and others. It does not work with pride and arrogance. One needs to be trained. That time he becomes beautiful. In the sight of Allah, that scholar would be on the station of prophets. If not, if he stays with arrogance, that time he would become like Shaitan. Allah forbid.
May Allah grant us all guidance. May He make us constant in guidance InshaAllah. May we leave [the world] with guidance in the last breath InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
222.THE TRUTH COMES OUT Monday, 13 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The truth comes out. No matter how much it is hidden and no matter how much it wants to be covered, the truth always comes out. Gold is still gold no matter how much it is covered in mud. Truth is the same way. People who are on the true path are the winners -those who follow the Truth. Because the truth is the path of our Holy Prophet and the path of those Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafa Rashidun) who came after him.
There were many people who opposed the truth since those times, and they all went out and finished. However, they appear again and sometimes people are deceived. The educated are fooled more. Why? Because those who educate are unqualified. They do not have belief in that truth.
News came from Saudi Arabia yesterday: they declared 30 November an official holiday. King Salman there did this. Why is it a holiday? With which occasion was it made a holiday? Because it is the birthday (mawlid day) of our Holy Prophet (SAW). In the end, truth appeared and Wahhabism came to an end. When he declared it, all their struggles in this world came to an end, Allah willing. They spent not a billion but trillions of dollars. They ruined and set the whole World of Islam at odds. They said: “Mawlid is bida. Beware! No way! Making mawlid, honoring the Prophet, is the greatest sin!” Here, Allah made the truth come out. This time they said, “Honoring our Holy Prophet , celebrating the day he was born, and showing respect is good for people. In fact, it is a good deed because it is the command of Allah.” And this is the wisdom of Allah: it came out of their own mouths.
They did not listen when thousands of scholars, awliya, and true scholars told them. However, a person comes out – it is the same here on TV – one person comes out and confuses the minds of people. Then they ask themselves, “I wonder if we are doing wrong? Are we committing shirk (associating partners with Allah)?” They do all kinds of filth and it is no problem, but they used to consider honoring our Holy Prophet a sin.
Thank Allah, the truth always comes out. The truth is sublime, Allah willing. InshaAllah we become among those who follow the truth and are on the right path. We say, “May
Allah not misguide us,” because people do get baffled. There is nothing to be baffled about. There is no nuisance in honoring the Prophet. It is the command of Allah Azza wa Jalla. There is a verse saying: “Honor the Prophet. I honor him.” However, people somehow did not understand.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
223.DO NOT FORGET ALMS (SADAQA) Tuesday, 14 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “Khayrihi wa sharrihi minallahi ta’ala.” Good and evil next to Allah Exalted and Glorious be He are things created by Allah. These people will see both good and evil in this world. Allah did not create them in vain. He created them for a test.
We are in the month of Safar now. It is called Safar ul-Khayr. It gives good to those who remember it as good and ask for good. More troubles come to those who oppose Allah. Tomorrowis the last Wednesday of the month of Safar. Thanks be to Allah. Inshallah we pass it in safety. Because there are duties and when you perform those duties Allah willing it turns good and not bad. It does not turn into troubles Allah willing.
People forget the duties: Three Kalima-e Shahadat, 300 Astaghfirullah, seven Alamtara kayfa, meaning Sura Feel, and sadaqa (alms). Sadaqa is very important. Make sure you deposit it in a box before leaving home since its place is separate. Let it become a habit among Muslims, Mumins (Believers), and people. It becomes protection next to them, and sustenance would come out for the poor and needy. It is an attribute loved by Allah. Tasadduq means giving sadaqa. If people were totally straight, if there was only good and no evil, nobody would put their hands in their pockets. How do people put their hands in their pockets? 99% put their hands in their pockets and give sadaqa because they think something will happen to them.
They made us forget sadaqa now. They tell us to have insurance. They will give you such and such amount when you die if you give a certain amount every day. What am I to do with money that time? Give your own sadaqa so Allah Azza wa Jalla protects you and your family. For sure, our Holy Prophet showed us the beautiful way. He says, “Sadaqa prevents troubles and extends life.” It is the truth, it is true, and that is why it is a nice thing. We need to do it. Devils try to stop us when we attempt it. A thousand devils face a person when one is about to give a sadaqa.
There is a nice joke, a nice story. A hodja got up like we did and explained the benefits and virtues of sadaqa to the congregation. A person from the congregation went home
excitedly and loaded rice, bread, and whatever he could find. His wife saw him just as he was about to step out the door. She said, “What is this? Let the imam himself give sadaqa. We are already honest people. How can you do this?” The woman took everything from his hands and the man went out. The imam asked, “Where have you been? You were going to bring stuff.” He replied, “Normally a thousand devils prevent me, but today their mother prevented me.”
So when a person is to give sadaqa, surely one spends money on all kinds of [other] things. They spend money on useless things, but their hands shake when it comes to sadaqa. May Allah not leave us to our ego and to devils. May He make us victorious over them InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
224.THE HOPELESS ARE FAITHLESS Wednesday, 15 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
May these days of ours be good and may we pass them well. It is the last Wednesday of Safar now, and it is the wisdom of Allah that it says calamities befall on this day. Calamities befall on tyrants. The commands of Allah are on top of our heads. He says not to abandon hope in Allah. “La taqnatu mir rahmatillah,” He says (Sura Zumar:53). Those who abandon hope either have weak faith or have no faith, or they are unbelievers (kafara). Because kafara do not believe in Allah and never accept Him. They have no hope. Those who have hope, true Mumins (Believers), always ask Allah for goodness, await goodness, and believe in Allah. However, those who have weak faith, the weaker it gets become hopeless and their hopes diminish. Those who are totally hopeless are those who are faithless. It is Allah’s command: do not be hopeless. We expect goodness from Allah. We expect goodness so everything turns good for us. May evil be for the faithless and kafara, because they do not recognize the blessing (nima) granted to themselves. That is why they call it Kufran-e Nima (Denial of Blessing). That is why Allah is calling them kafir. Kafir means one who does not accept anything and answer goodness with evil. Allah Azza wa Jalla did the greatest good and gave us big opportunities since He is going to put us in His paradise. And what He wants is nothing. He neither wants food nor drink. Only that you have faith in your heart and your mouth. They do not even have this and keep persisting. That time Allah gives them all sorts of troubles and calamities. The greatest trouble is unbelief, faithlessness. They can have as much riches and properties as they like, and they can be healthy. It is of no benefit. Benefit is in faith. May Allah grant us true faith and strengthen our faith, so we know everything as being from Allah and ask for goodness from Allah, InshaAllah. Today, InshaAllah may its goodness be for us, and may its evil be for kafara, for unbelief, for kafirs, and for tyrants. May it befall on them. 70,000 troubles descend today. May they all befall on them. We have no guns and weapons. There is Allah’s slap for them. Because they are attacking Islam. They have been attacking from of old, but now they are going too far. Therefore, Muslims should not give way to despair. Allah willing, Allah is with us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
225.THEY ARE THE MOTHERS OF BELIEVERS Thursday, 16 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
May Allah Azza wa Jalla have mercy on our mother. During these holy days, today on 16 November, the late Hajja Mother reached the Truth’s mercy. All mothers have a different place for people. It goes the way she raises them. The real school and university start with the mother.
Mothers have a great virtue in the sight of Allah. The rewards are great when she raises the children according to what Allah says. However, people of these days have forgotten the hereafter because they have delved in the world, and the mothers are the same way. They are thinking nothing but, “What will our children study? Where will they study? Which university will they attend? Where will the daughter study?” They do not care about the children. They want to leave the children at such an age as a responsibility with someone else so they can let go of motherhood. When this is the case, of course they cannot gain that reward.
Those who show good reach goodness and high stations. They are thinking, “Let my daughter be in a high position. I do not care how it happens.” They do not care at all. And then: “But she said this and that [to me].” If you do not raise them properly, if you do not raise them according to Islam and what Allah says, they will not respect you and it will not be as you want. Good generations would not be raised. Surely, you need to apply what Allah says, you need not forget Allah, and you need to do it for Allah. Not only for this life but you also need to do it for the hereafter.
It says, “Ummahat ul-Mumineen.” The wives of our Holy Prophet are the mothers of Mumins (Believers). Holy ladies like them continue the same way. They are the mothers of Mumins and the mothers of every person.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
226.DO NOT BE HAPPY WITH EVIL Friday, 17 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
We are living in End Times. They are showing good people and goodness as bad and the bad as good. They are showing things that are not good, things that should not be done, as normal things, as things that can be done. Allah would not consent to this. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He states in the holy verse: “Innallathena yuhibbuna an tashi’al fahishatu fil-lathena aamanu lahum athabun aleem.” (Sura Noor:19) “Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread among those who have believed will have a painful punishment.” People of today think the more they do, the happier they will be. No, Allah is tormenting them. Torment is not only in the hereafter. They will certainly get evil in response to evil in this world too. The saying goes: “You reap what you sow.” People are sowing sin and Allah (JJ) is giving them torment in response. He is causing them pain, He is giving them disease, and He is giving them distress. Allah forbid, may Allah not give it to anybody. None of the beauties of the world can be of benefit when a distress comes. One needs to just repent and seek forgiveness, and stay away from evil.
They are coming out with various vileness in the name of fashion, and people are imitating them and committing sin. Because once it is in the open, in the same way our people are also slowly, slowly, gradually showing sin as something without any harm that is ordinary. Not only that, they get into bigger sins. It is a sin for those who do it or accept it too. It certainly becomes deserving of torment when it is a sin.
Humanity thinks it will not give account. Accounting will be done. Allah would make you suffer in the world and in the hereafter. There are mumins (believers) in the world too. There are thousands of examples that show how the beloved servants of Allah are in felicity, and how people whom Allah does not like are in pain. We hear about it every day. It is not like in the past anymore and people hear about events that happen in the other end of the world.
However, do not be happy, meaning we need to be sad when we see such evil. At least change it if you are able to change it. If you cannot change it, you need to say it is not appropriate. When you try to do this, a hundred devils (shaitans) swarm around you, they put you to shame, they yell and scream, and make you sorry you ever said it.
Therefore, at least you should not feel happy inside for something [evil] but feel bad for it. You need to say, “We do not accept what is happening. These people are the nation of our Holy Prophet (SAW). We are sad for this situation of theirs and we do not consent to it. May Allah give them guidance.”
We read in newspapers and what not, and three to five people come every day: “My daughter ran away from home. My son is a substance user (drug addict).” There is not a day such a thing does not occur. We cannot be happy with these but we should be sad, “How did those devils manage to pick them?” They say, “If we don’t give them money they beat us and take the money by force.” This is the situation people have fallen into. May Allah give common sense and intelligence to those who do this.
Those who think they are profiting from this business are not profiting at all. Even if all the money in the world were theirs, if they do not repent Allah Azza wa Jalla makes them pay in such a way in this world that He makes this world worse than hell for them. They are ruining so many people’s lives and so many families for a mere two pennies. These will not go for nothing. As long as they do not repent, they are to suffer in this world. As for the hereafter, there will be much more.
A person should not do a single thing that would harm this Nation. Shaitan should not fool oneself. There are people who do bad business in order to make a lot of money, but it is business with no baraka (blessing). It is business that has no benefit and it is poison for themselves. They are poisoning others, but they are actually taking the real poison themselves. It comes out of himself, his children, his family, and his health. Many people’s faith has weekend these days, and they have become fearless of Allah and unashamed of people. The head of wisdom is the fear of Allah. If you fear Allah, you would do no evil. You would do all evil if you do not fear Allah.
O people! Fear Allah! Allah Azza wa Jalla is the one who needs to be feared. There is no escape from Him. He is testing you, testing your ego. Do not follow your ego. Follow Allah. Both you and your family would be in comfort. Otherwise, you would not benefit seven generations of yours with what you are doing. There are some people whose father has done something [wrong] and that bad luck has reached their children. The bad luck their grandfather did reached all the way to the grandchildren. They say, “Whatever we do, we cannot carry on business. Something is wrong.” Then you see that their grandfather did something. Because they come from him, that bad luck has extended to them too. They have no fault, but because of the evil the grandfather did, since they ate from that food, it does not benefit them either. The blessing is gone and there is no use.
We are in End Times. People need to look after their own children. If the children want something, give it to them if it is good. If it is not good, be careful. Do not send them off with bad friends. Pay attention to where they go and where they come from. The times
are times when devils, these evil jinns are plenty. “They were imprisoned,” says Shaykh Mawlana. They were released too because it is End Times. That is why this vileness, filth, and shamelessness increased.
Be careful and teach your children as well: let them not leave the house without praying namaz, and let them recite the Basmala when they are about to leave. The same way again when they come back. Allah would not leave you if you pay attention. Therefore, you have a duty and those who listen to you have a duty too. May Allah help the Nation of Muhammad, and may he give guidance to the children Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
227.STATIONS ARE ASSIGNED ACCORDING TO MANNERS Friday, 17 November 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.
Tariqa is adab (manners) and adab is the character of our Holy Prophet. Allah Azza wa Jalla created our Holy Prophet upon the most beautiful manners. “I have only been sent to complete good morals,” said our Holy Prophet. The manners of people during our Holy Prophet’s time were lacking much. The companions had aggressive attributes. Our Holy Prophet raised them all to the highest stations. How did it happen? With adab. Adab raises people. First, you need to be mannered towards Allah, you need to be mannered towards our Holy Prophet, then you need to be mannered towards Mumins (Believers) and people. Some people get it mixed up and say, “Allah created us all equal.” Alright, He created us all equal, but you do not have respect and adab for those people either. When this is the case, your station is lower. Allah gives to people according to their station and according to their manners. The one in the highest stations and the most mannered is our Holy Prophet. Then the other prophets, companions, scholars, and awliya follow. They are all upon adab. There are some people who claim to be a scholar, but when they have no adab they have no authority and no power from the hand of Allah Exalted and Glorious be He. Adab is important. “Makarim ul-Akhlaq”. The most beautiful habit is manners. One needs to treat people with kindness and treat one’s family with adab. The mannered person is merciful. It is not part of manners to shove it in their face: “I am this and that. I am providing you with food.” It is also not appropriate to say, “I pray namaz (salah) so I can do whatever I want.” If you look at our Holy Prophet’s attributes and level of actions: he never cursed nor hit his family. When he took offence, he would leave their presence without saying anything. They would know something was wrong then. People of these times say they are people of tariqa and cause the women pain, beat them, and scold them. Then they claim to be people of tariqa. Tariqa cannot be that way. It can be with adab. As we said, first towards your family, then towards your neighbors, then towards your neighborhood. That is how manners spread. Kindness spreads like that. May Allah grant us all the morals (akhlaq) of our Holy Prophet. We can reach the most beautiful and the highest stations like that.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
228.THE MURSHID PREPARES THE MURID Saturday, 18 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah created son of man to grow starting from childhood, spend his life, and then go to the hereafter. During this time, people go through various tests. A test is a tough thing. Most people comply with their ego and do not know about a test or tribulation.
Whatever capabilities people have, they have both for the world and for the hereafter, they have to develop them. This happens by following a tariqa and a true guide (murshid). When you follow a true murshid, he makes you reach high stations. Otherwise you would be left raw, you would be left without being prepared, and you would leave the [the world the] way you came. When you follow a shaykh, he starts cooking you. As an example of this, let us describe it as an analogy. Think of a cauldron. All the brothers and sisters (ikhwan) are in it. Those who do a lot and those who do not are accordingly slowly being prepared. Those who do much, who progress more, are cooked more and taste better. Those who do less, they are also cooked slowly, and because they are together they also benefit. Most people are baffled, “What have I become?” They wonder, “Did I make progress or not?” From now on you are next to the shaykh. Do not think about this. Do the orders. Those bad habits of yours slowly decrease and your good habits increase. You become good and you become with the good ones. That is why our Holy Prophet says, “People are with those whom they love.” Since you are in the same vessel, you will also get from that taste. When you are with those beautiful people, their blessing (baraka) will surely get on you too, and you will always be together. Therefore, you must certainly connect to a door. You need to follow a way and a murshid so you are not left alone, so you are not left raw outside and leave as you came. It is still good if you leave as you came. People leave worse off. Because the world does not leave them clean. It rots them, it makes them moldy, it makes them stink, and sends them that way. In order not to end up in that state, if you do not want to end up in that state, make sure to follow a way and a guide, so he may train you and make you reach Allah. As we said, there is way and a murshid that fits everybody’s temperament. Everybody cannot be the same. There is no such thing as “Absolutely come to us”. You come if you have a
kismet. You come if there is affection (muhabbat) for you. If not, there is no obstacle if you want to go somewhere else. Because Allah has many beloved servants and ways. You can go on that path from everywhere and live as Allah commands. However, as we said, the murshid and the way are important. Do not say, “I can do it alone!” People who have tried to do it alone have not been able to succeed most of the time. They did not know the path and deviated from it. Therefore, make sure to follow a guide. May Allah grant us all to be prepared on this way InshaAllah, and may He not leave us raw. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
229.THE BELOVED SERVANT OF ALLAH Sunday, 19 November 2017
Today, thank Allah is the last day of the month of Safar. It is called “Safar ul-Khayr”, and it passed well thank Allah. It was good for the Islamic world and for Muslims. May Allah give the unbelievers (kafirs) what they deserve, and He did so Allah willing. Tomorrow is the month of our Holy Prophet, Rabi’ul Awwal. Rabi’ul Awwal, meaning the First Spring. It is the month of spring and beauty. Spring months are nice. That is why even if this Rabi’ul the sacred birth of our Holy Prophet is in the middle of winter, it is still beautiful. The beauty of spring is in the month of our Holy Prophet and we need to honor it beautifully. You can read a Mawlid everyday if possible. Of course, not everybody can read the Mawlid. We are to recite 1000 salawat a day for the whole month in honor of our Holy Prophet. When we do it for the honor of our Holy Prophet, Allah Azza wa Jalla would look at you with a good gaze, your business would go well, and whatever troubles you have would be taken away. We need to recite it with this intention. Do good deeds on the occasion of our Holy Prophet’s mawlid (birth) month and say, “We are doing this for the honor of our Holy Prophet.” Its rewards would be multiplied. It would be not ten times but 1000 times more, because he is the beloved servant of Allah. Our Master was sent as a mercy for the worlds. Our Holy Prophet is the highest of people and of the Universe. We need to be grateful that we are his Nation (Ummat). So many prophets said they wished they would be one of his Nation and not be a prophet. They would look at this Nation with admiration. Of course, people do not know its worth and disregard it. And some swear violently at our Holy Prophet. They will answer to Allah for it. Our Holy Prophet was sent as a mercy for humanity, because there was no such thing as Muslim when he was sent. In this case, he was sent as a guide to all of humanity and not just to Muslims. However, Shaitan does not sit idle. Shaitan’s greatest enemy is our Holy Prophet. Allah’s most beloved servant is our Holy Prophet. Look at it this way. Honoring our Holy Prophet is the greatest worship because nothing would have existed if he had not existed. Our Holy Prophet is a great blessing (nima) for us and we need to recognize the value of this blessing. InshaAllah this month passes in constant relief and affection. Inshallah we get to honor our Holy Prophet as much as we can. We need to tell this to people too. Shaitan has entered even amongst Muslims, and they are trying to show our Holy Prophet as a regular person. Whereas nobody can reach and get to the level of our Holy Prophet.
Even though our Holy Prophet had this high value, he would beg Allah Azza wa Jalla saying, “My Nation,” and wanted to become an intercessor. May we be granted his intercession (shafaat) InshaAllah and InshaAllah we will. How a person thinks and hopes is how it turns out. We will be saved through the shafaat of our Holy Prophet InshaAllah. We will not be saved through our own actions and works. Things that we give in honor of our Holy Prophet will be valuable. He will intercede as much as we honor him Allah willing. May Allah grant his affection to increase. May our faith strengthen for his honor and for his blessing. May the faith in our hearts increase InshaAllah. May Allah make us reach so many Mawlids like this InshaAllah. We hope Islam will be victorious with Mahdi Alayhis Salam, because what our Master gives glad tidings of is the truth and will come InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
230.OUR MASTER (SAW) IS MERCY Monday, 20 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
May our month of Rabi’ul Awwal be blessed. Thank Allah we passed the month of Safar with goodness and reached the month of Rabi’ul Awwal. It is the sacred month of our Holy Prophet. Our Master honored the world and lit the world in this month. His light lights the Universe. Allah gave such a light to our Holy Prophet from His light that it is higher than all. It is stronger than the sun’s light and the light of all the worlds. Allah gave all goodness to our Holy Prophet. Our Master is the final prophet. Allah completed all blessings (nimat) in him. What is nimat? Religion, the religion of Islam. It was completed with our Holy Prophet. There is no nimat greater than that. Our Holy Prophet was sent to people to give this nimat. “Wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatal lil- alameen.” (Sura Anbiya:107) He was sent as mercy. He brought this to people. He brought this great nimat to people. Now there are some foolish people who say, “The Prophet spread the religion by the sword.” There is no such thing. If a person offers you to, “Take this bread,” and you do not take it, would he beat you? Or would he raise his sword at you? He would not even do it for bread. Our Holy Prophet brought the greatest nimat: eternal happiness, eternal beauty, and paradise. Our Holy Prophet says, “Accept this and reach this happiness.” “No,” those of present-day say, “By force, by the sword!” It was not by the sword. He notified people one by one and they accepted it. Those who accepted became Muslim and those who did not paid their tax. The taxes of today are more. People give 40-50 times more tax. In response to the tax, safety would be ensured for those people that time. It would protect them from enemies and provide them with whatever other benefits. Suit yourself if you do not want to become Muslim. Pay your tax and live here as a citizen. Your protection and rights are all on us. There were some times when the sultan or the administrator could not provide protection. That time they returned the tax. Where have you heard of the opposite happening?
Islam is light. Beautiful people run to it and follow it. What is meant by the sword is of course you will respond to those who attack you. Of course you will protect those under your rule, those people who trust in you, and those people who pay you their taxes. You will also protect the Muslims who are your co-religionists and respond [to attacks]. Now they are slandering our Holy Prophet badly like this. Whereas our Holy Prophet is mercy and shows beautiful things to people. Those who wish accept, and those who wish continue as they know. It was never by force. So this is it. We need to clarify this to people. Now those who are here or those who are in lands of unbelief always slander our holy Prophet like this, and attribute every kind of evil to him. Whereas those who help them is Shaitan. Shaitan’s greatest enemy is our Holy Prophet. The one who does not like our Holy Prophet is also a shaitan (devil). Let us say this clearly. It is so no matter who it is. May Allah grant the love of our Holy Prophet to all people so Inshallah they know this blessing. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
231.ALLAH WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE Tuesday, 21 November 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.
“Tabarak-Allahul khallaqul atheem.” The only creator is Allah. Allah created everything in the most beautiful manner and made everything beautiful. Son of man has been trying to do something from of old.
Nemrud (Nimrod) said, “I make Ibrahim (Alayhis Salam) live and die.” They brought two slaves. He cut the head of one of them and killed him. “Here, I killed this one,” he said and he let the other one free. “I made this one live,” he said. So as not to be a part of his conversation, Ibrahim Alayhis Salam did not say to him, “Since you make it live and die...” He told him something better. Of course there are millions of other examples. He said, “Allah makes the sun rise in the east and set in the west. The sun sets in the west. Let us see if you can make it rise from the west and set in the east.”
Now, those who think they are scientists are trying to change the things Allah has created. The material is again what Allah has created. They take it and produce it somewhere else, but they are still things Allah has provided. When they do this they think they are like Nemrud. Nemrud said, “I am god!” and each one of these ones thinks the same of himself. However, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He will call them to account for it and will ask them, “What have you done?” They want to change what Allah has created. “Yuridoona ayyubaddilu kalam-Allah.” “Falayughayyurunna khalk- Allah.” (Sura Fat’h:15, Sura Nisa:119) Allah Azza wa Jalla said it and notified it. They want to change what Allah has created and think nothing of Allah. Their questioning will be tough.
Son of man always conforms to his ego, conforms to Shaitan, and stays away from good. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Those who believe are few.” Faith is a beautiful blessing (nima), but people do not know its worth and can do all kinds of evil so their name can be heard in the world. They are claiming to do good and are doing evil, but Allah will question them. Allah sees them. They have universities and this and that, but if Allah wants He makes people come out who stand up to them, and shows them what they are doing is wrong. And if they do, they cause harm and do not provide benefit to humanity. What they are doing to the world is harmful, evil, and nothing else. Allah made
everything according to a measure. “Kullu shay’in indahu bimiqdaar.” (Sura Ra’d:8) “Everything with Him is by due measure.” Everything has an account. Allah knows how and what to create. You are mixing it up, and then you are unknowingly causing harm to the whole world, causing harm to humanity, and causing harm to yourselves.
O scientists! Turn to Allah. In reality that is not science. It is a technique of Shaitan. It does not count as knowledge, because something that rebels against Allah is not knowledge. “Innama yakhsh-Allahu min ibadihil ulama.” (Sura Fatir:28) “Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge.”
The knowing (alims) fear Allah. They do not fear Allah, nor do they recognize Allah. Their accounting would be tough. People should not believe them. What they are doing is clear, in the open. They have ruined the whole world and finished it. However, their accounting is one thing and Allah’s accounting is something else.
In the end, Allah will clean them up. He will clean the world too Inshallah. He sends a person from next to Him, and when he arrives the whole world will be cleaned InshaAllah: Mahdi Alayhis Salam. May Allah make us reach him. May He make us all reach those days InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
232.PROTECT YOURSELVES FROM HELLFIRE Wednesday, 22 November 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. “Ya ayuhallathina amanoo qoo anfusakum wa ahleekum nara.” (Sura Tahrim:6) Allah says: “Protect your children and yourselves from the Fire, hellfire. A hell whose fuel is stones and people.” Allah Azza wa Jalla gave it as a punishment to people. Whoever does not protect himself would be throwing himself in the Fire by himself. Allah does not oppress anybody. People oppress themselves. That is why Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is cautioning us. Protect yourself. Protect yourself from sin and from evil so you would be protected from the Fire. Not only yourself, but He says to also protect your relatives, children, and whoever else. Protection is the essence of the matter. People protect themselves. People protect themselves against the enemy. People are in safety when they protect themselves. The thing we need to essentially protect ourselves from is eternal hell. We need to be protected from it. This is possible by performing Allah’s commands. You protect yourself, your family, and your relatives this way. Protection is good in every way. You need to pay attention to it. You need to know: “What is good? What is bad? Who is good? Who is bad?” and stay away from them. First, you will protect yourself from the forbidden (haram). Whatever haram deed there is it looks beautiful, it looks attractive, but it is the real danger. You will protect yourself and your family from them. Stay alert! Look at what it is and where evil will come from. Be careful of these! In the military, they instruct you where and how to protect yourself at night. Here, Allah Azza wa Jalla sent our Holy Prophet, the awliya (saints), and the scholars to instruct you. So you may protect yourselves. They show the way how to protect yourself. Never make concessions to the enemy, because you fall into danger when you make concessions. We have a pitiless enemy, but people can easily be protected from it if they want. Do not say, “No, let me follow it and yield to it. If I surrender to it, it would feel pity for me and not
do anything.” This is an utterly merciless enemy and has no pity whatsoever. He will not let go until he takes you to hell. May Allah protect us from the enemy. We need to protect ourselves with His help. What will help us is our affection for our Holy Prophet, our respect for him, and our honoring him. This protects us. It is a huge shield against evils. The more you have affection for our Holy Prophet the more you are protected. May Allah protect us from evils for the sake of this month, for the sake of our Holy Prophet’s holy birth, and for the sake of Rabi’ul Awwal, InshaAllah. May Allah grant us to be together with him in paradise InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
233.HONORING OUR MASTER (SAW) IS NOT HARD Thursday, 23 November 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 tariqa continuously teaches adab (manners). The highest adab is with our Holy Prophet. He still shows humility even though he is so high. Our Holy Prophet states, “I am the master of son of Adam but I do not take pride.” He says, “I am the Messenger of Allah and the final Prophet. Still I do not take pride.” He also says, “I am the best of Arabs and I still do not take pride.” He only says this to teach us.
Even though our Holy Prophet has many things to take pride in, conceit and pride belong to Allah. He shows us this adab. People of today are bewildered by how to raise themselves and how much arrogance to display in the smallest thing. A person’s ego is bloated in the smallest thing. He immediately thinks he is something [great] if he rises to a position. He bloats like, “I created the little mountains,” and falls into a laughing situation. The more a person shows arrogance, the more the person lowers oneself.
The person who is humble rises, and the person who is arrogant lowers. This is the meaning of the hadiths of our Holy Prophet. We can say it in Turkish (in the language we speak) because we are not reading it in Arabic. It is an order and an obligation (fard) to honor our Holy Prophet. Allah Azza wa Jalla made it obligatory on us to honor him, to love him, and to go on his way. These beautiful days are the month of his birth, the month of Mawlid. The more we honor him, the more acceptable servants we become in the sight of Allah. When Allah loves you, He takes care of all your business and gives tranquility inside. People are searching for tranquility. Tranquility occurs by loving our Holy Prophet, by respecting him, and by honoring him.
How did the sahaba (companions) rise to those stations? By loving our Holy Prophet, by following his orders, by helping him, and by going on his path; each one of them became like a star and shined. Our Holy Prophet said, “You will be guided by following anyone of them.” We would not follow them if they had acted according to their own heads. The one they loved is the Prophet and the one they followed is our Holy Prophet.
Therefore, it is beautiful and not difficult to honor our Holy Prophet. It is hard for a person’s ego to do the smallest good. Whereas our Holy Prophet is not telling us to carry rocks on our back, he tells us to love the Prophet. And Shaitan is trying with all he has got to be an obstacle to it. May Allah increase his love for all of us so we may become more acceptable servants in Allah’s sight InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
234.ALLAH IS GENEROUS AND HE LOVES THE GENEROUS Friday, 24 November 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 Holy Prophet states, “Allah Azza wa Jalla Himself will give the reward for people who go to the grave of their parents and recite Yaseen Shareef on a Friday.” The holy day of Friday is a big gift to Muslims in every sense. It is a blessing (nima) of Allah. It is a holiday, the holiday of Muslims every week.
People do not recognize externally, but it becomes a great virtue for those who respect and honor it. Accordingly, it is a great good deed to visit the parents’ graves and recite Yaseen on a Friday. This is the case for those who are near. Those who are not nearby can recite the Yaseen Shareef where they are and gift it to them. Of course along with them, it is for our Holy Prophet, his family, and his sahaba (companions) all together. It is also for people you want to include and love. Nothing would be decreased if you also include them in these prayers (duas) and Koran recitations. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He would give them all and deliver it to them all without anything being decreased from you. This is not our statement. It is the hadith of our Holy Prophet. Those who oppose the hadith can fit themselves. There are so many who oppose now. They are coming out here too and talking as if they are giving from their own pockets. Already Allah does not like the stingy. He loves the generous. Allah Azza wa Jalla is generous. He is the most generous of the generous. He says, “I am giving.” Read it. “If you say one, I write ten,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. There is reward from ten to 1,000 to 10,000. Its account is in Allah’s sight. Its account is next to Him and He gives as much as He wants. As you like, if you are stingy and ungenerous. They call it “Gatsot” in Cyprus. Allah is unlike you. Allah does not like these people. May Allah make us among His beloved servants and the generous. Let money and material aside, people do not want to give spiritually either. However, Allah Azza wa Jalla does not listen to them and loves those who are on His path. He loves those who accredit and believe in the words of our Holy Prophet. These are the hadiths of our Holy Prophet and they have all been written in hadith books. Scholars are saying this from the time of our Holy Prophet till now. Do not listen to the words of stingy people who have come out lately. This month is especially more sacred. Allah Azza wa Jalla gives multiples more in honor of our Holy Prophet.
Therefore, let us do more charity, good, honoring, salawat, and whatever else as much as possible InshaAllah. Fridays are more acceptable. May this Friday of ours be mubarak (blessed) too. What the Jews are most jealous of in Islam are Friday Prayers and saying “Ameen” after the Fatiha. Because they do not have it, they are jealous of it. There is no need to be jealous. The religion is a true religion. They need to follow this religion as well. This religion is open to all people. Mustafa, Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam is Rahmatan Lil’alameen (Mercy for the worlds). Lucky for us that we are from his Nation (Ummat). May Allah make it a means for goodness InshaAllah. May we not deviate from his way and reside close by him in paradise InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
235.SPECIALLY FOR OUR MASTER Saturday, 25 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
We said it yesterday: our Holy Prophet’s birthday is approaching: the Mawlid Sharif. The Sacred Birth is on the 12th night of Rabi’ul Awwal, on Monday night. Our Holy Prophet’s birth is based on the Arabi or Lunar year. That night is a holy night. You cannot gain that virtue on another day if you miss it. Its virtue is great. We should not miss it and we should show it respect. That night is the night of joy for the whole Universe, Allah willing.
This is the case for our Holy Prophet, but the Lunar year is not important for our people, the Nation of Muhammad. Our birthday can be according to the normal year because that night has no virtue and what not. The following ones like Laylat ul-Qadr (The Night of Power) and other nights can be the same too. It would still be virtuous if one was born on that day, but for normal people the birthday of our Holy Prophet, the Mawlid day, is on that Lunar day, so it would be honored and since it is specially for the Prophet.
There is no problem for others. You can celebrate your birthday if you were born in April, in March, or in June. Meaning there is no harm or sin in saying it, but our Holy Prophet’s specially belongs to him, it is special for him. Honoring him should be done on that day. So now people are asking, “We wonder if we should also do it according to the Lunar year? Should we say it is on that day?” No, because birth, papers, passport, and this and that cannot be done differently, and there is no need to do it differently either. Therefore, it has to be this way so we do not see ourselves as too special. Only our Holy Prophet’s birth is celebrated as Lunar.
Other holy ones and normal people can be whenever it is. Our Holy Prophet’s place needs to be different and it needs to be special. May that day’s baraka (blessing) be on us InshaAllah. May his love increase so much more InshaAllah. May Allah grant us his shafa’at (intercession) InshaAllah. May we also be located near him in paradise InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
236.ALLAH WILL COMPLETE HIS LIGHT Sunday, 26 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is giving a test to Muslims during these holy days. The whole world of unbelief is attacking to get rid of Muslims. They say Muslims are killing Muslims. No, a Muslim does not kill a Muslim. Those who do it are non- Muslims. Because Islam told of everything that can be done. It told of what needs to be done, things that are not supposed to be done, what is allowed, and things that are not allowed. If a Muslim gets up and kills a Muslim that time he is in eternal hell.
Eternal hell means this person has left Islam. These people have nothing to do with Islam. There are those who look Muslim on this side. Non-Muslims think they can attack, kill, burn, destroy, and do all kinds of
Link: https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5497
if he has not guided people. If a person has nothing, does not have a penny to his name, but has been a means for someone’s guidance, guiding that one person is better than owning the whole world to oneself. Everybody should be aware of this.
Shaitan wants to take this away from people too. If you say, “I made these people reach guidance!” you need to stop at “I”. Allah forbid, what you have done might become useless. Sometimes this clever one says (referring to a deputy), “I made a dargah for you and I made that for you.” We do not want it. We do not need anything. We need to do it for Allah. Let everyone do it for Allah. Not to become a man of property or for fame, but we need to work to bring people to the path of Allah. It would be in vain if it is “So I would rise in name and body”. We will do it for Allah. The good we do for ourselves is by not mentioning ourselves, but mentioning Allah and remembering Allah. Everything is for Allah. He is what is important. When a couple of people gather next to him most people say, “Apparently I am such a great one.” Shaitan makes people display
arrogance, they deviate from the path, and all they have done is lost. However, people who do it for Allah have great rewards in the sight of Allah for every person they guide. It is like being granted the whole world.
Therefore, people should not be fooled by Shaitan and say, “I did this and I did that.” Allah helped you. He made you a means to gain so much rewards and guide so many people. This is continuously done for the sake of Allah. People of tariqa should especially be more careful. There is no pride and arrogance in tariqa. Pride and arrogance is found in people who are not in tariqa and hodjas (clerics) who are not in tariqa.
Hodjas are famous for their arrogance. These diseases of the ego exist in great scholars. That is why when a person becomes a scholar, he should certainly gain manners from a tariqa so that he could be useful. So that it would benefit himself and others. It does not work with pride and arrogance. One needs to be trained. That time he becomes beautiful. In the sight of Allah, that scholar would be on the station of prophets. If not, if he stays with arrogance, that time he would become like Shaitan. Allah forbid.
May Allah grant us all guidance. May He make us constant in guidance InshaAllah. May we leave [the world] with guidance in the last breath InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
222.THE TRUTH COMES OUT Monday, 13 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The truth comes out. No matter how much it is hidden and no matter how much it wants to be covered, the truth always comes out. Gold is still gold no matter how much it is covered in mud. Truth is the same way. People who are on the true path are the winners -those who follow the Truth. Because the truth is the path of our Holy Prophet and the path of those Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafa Rashidun) who came after him.
There were many people who opposed the truth since those times, and they all went out and finished. However, they appear again and sometimes people are deceived. The educated are fooled more. Why? Because those who educate are unqualified. They do not have belief in that truth.
News came from Saudi Arabia yesterday: they declared 30 November an official holiday. King Salman there did this. Why is it a holiday? With which occasion was it made a holiday? Because it is the birthday (mawlid day) of our Holy Prophet (SAW). In the end, truth appeared and Wahhabism came to an end. When he declared it, all their struggles in this world came to an end, Allah willing. They spent not a billion but trillions of dollars. They ruined and set the whole World of Islam at odds. They said: “Mawlid is bida. Beware! No way! Making mawlid, honoring the Prophet, is the greatest sin!” Here, Allah made the truth come out. This time they said, “Honoring our Holy Prophet , celebrating the day he was born, and showing respect is good for people. In fact, it is a good deed because it is the command of Allah.” And this is the wisdom of Allah: it came out of their own mouths.
They did not listen when thousands of scholars, awliya, and true scholars told them. However, a person comes out – it is the same here on TV – one person comes out and confuses the minds of people. Then they ask themselves, “I wonder if we are doing wrong? Are we committing shirk (associating partners with Allah)?” They do all kinds of filth and it is no problem, but they used to consider honoring our Holy Prophet a sin.
Thank Allah, the truth always comes out. The truth is sublime, Allah willing. InshaAllah we become among those who follow the truth and are on the right path. We say, “May
Allah not misguide us,” because people do get baffled. There is nothing to be baffled about. There is no nuisance in honoring the Prophet. It is the command of Allah Azza wa Jalla. There is a verse saying: “Honor the Prophet. I honor him.” However, people somehow did not understand.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
223.DO NOT FORGET ALMS (SADAQA) Tuesday, 14 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “Khayrihi wa sharrihi minallahi ta’ala.” Good and evil next to Allah Exalted and Glorious be He are things created by Allah. These people will see both good and evil in this world. Allah did not create them in vain. He created them for a test.
We are in the month of Safar now. It is called Safar ul-Khayr. It gives good to those who remember it as good and ask for good. More troubles come to those who oppose Allah. Tomorrowis the last Wednesday of the month of Safar. Thanks be to Allah. Inshallah we pass it in safety. Because there are duties and when you perform those duties Allah willing it turns good and not bad. It does not turn into troubles Allah willing.
People forget the duties: Three Kalima-e Shahadat, 300 Astaghfirullah, seven Alamtara kayfa, meaning Sura Feel, and sadaqa (alms). Sadaqa is very important. Make sure you deposit it in a box before leaving home since its place is separate. Let it become a habit among Muslims, Mumins (Believers), and people. It becomes protection next to them, and sustenance would come out for the poor and needy. It is an attribute loved by Allah. Tasadduq means giving sadaqa. If people were totally straight, if there was only good and no evil, nobody would put their hands in their pockets. How do people put their hands in their pockets? 99% put their hands in their pockets and give sadaqa because they think something will happen to them.
They made us forget sadaqa now. They tell us to have insurance. They will give you such and such amount when you die if you give a certain amount every day. What am I to do with money that time? Give your own sadaqa so Allah Azza wa Jalla protects you and your family. For sure, our Holy Prophet showed us the beautiful way. He says, “Sadaqa prevents troubles and extends life.” It is the truth, it is true, and that is why it is a nice thing. We need to do it. Devils try to stop us when we attempt it. A thousand devils face a person when one is about to give a sadaqa.
There is a nice joke, a nice story. A hodja got up like we did and explained the benefits and virtues of sadaqa to the congregation. A person from the congregation went home
excitedly and loaded rice, bread, and whatever he could find. His wife saw him just as he was about to step out the door. She said, “What is this? Let the imam himself give sadaqa. We are already honest people. How can you do this?” The woman took everything from his hands and the man went out. The imam asked, “Where have you been? You were going to bring stuff.” He replied, “Normally a thousand devils prevent me, but today their mother prevented me.”
So when a person is to give sadaqa, surely one spends money on all kinds of [other] things. They spend money on useless things, but their hands shake when it comes to sadaqa. May Allah not leave us to our ego and to devils. May He make us victorious over them InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
224.THE HOPELESS ARE FAITHLESS Wednesday, 15 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
May these days of ours be good and may we pass them well. It is the last Wednesday of Safar now, and it is the wisdom of Allah that it says calamities befall on this day. Calamities befall on tyrants. The commands of Allah are on top of our heads. He says not to abandon hope in Allah. “La taqnatu mir rahmatillah,” He says (Sura Zumar:53). Those who abandon hope either have weak faith or have no faith, or they are unbelievers (kafara). Because kafara do not believe in Allah and never accept Him. They have no hope. Those who have hope, true Mumins (Believers), always ask Allah for goodness, await goodness, and believe in Allah. However, those who have weak faith, the weaker it gets become hopeless and their hopes diminish. Those who are totally hopeless are those who are faithless. It is Allah’s command: do not be hopeless. We expect goodness from Allah. We expect goodness so everything turns good for us. May evil be for the faithless and kafara, because they do not recognize the blessing (nima) granted to themselves. That is why they call it Kufran-e Nima (Denial of Blessing). That is why Allah is calling them kafir. Kafir means one who does not accept anything and answer goodness with evil. Allah Azza wa Jalla did the greatest good and gave us big opportunities since He is going to put us in His paradise. And what He wants is nothing. He neither wants food nor drink. Only that you have faith in your heart and your mouth. They do not even have this and keep persisting. That time Allah gives them all sorts of troubles and calamities. The greatest trouble is unbelief, faithlessness. They can have as much riches and properties as they like, and they can be healthy. It is of no benefit. Benefit is in faith. May Allah grant us true faith and strengthen our faith, so we know everything as being from Allah and ask for goodness from Allah, InshaAllah. Today, InshaAllah may its goodness be for us, and may its evil be for kafara, for unbelief, for kafirs, and for tyrants. May it befall on them. 70,000 troubles descend today. May they all befall on them. We have no guns and weapons. There is Allah’s slap for them. Because they are attacking Islam. They have been attacking from of old, but now they are going too far. Therefore, Muslims should not give way to despair. Allah willing, Allah is with us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
225.THEY ARE THE MOTHERS OF BELIEVERS Thursday, 16 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
May Allah Azza wa Jalla have mercy on our mother. During these holy days, today on 16 November, the late Hajja Mother reached the Truth’s mercy. All mothers have a different place for people. It goes the way she raises them. The real school and university start with the mother.
Mothers have a great virtue in the sight of Allah. The rewards are great when she raises the children according to what Allah says. However, people of these days have forgotten the hereafter because they have delved in the world, and the mothers are the same way. They are thinking nothing but, “What will our children study? Where will they study? Which university will they attend? Where will the daughter study?” They do not care about the children. They want to leave the children at such an age as a responsibility with someone else so they can let go of motherhood. When this is the case, of course they cannot gain that reward.
Those who show good reach goodness and high stations. They are thinking, “Let my daughter be in a high position. I do not care how it happens.” They do not care at all. And then: “But she said this and that [to me].” If you do not raise them properly, if you do not raise them according to Islam and what Allah says, they will not respect you and it will not be as you want. Good generations would not be raised. Surely, you need to apply what Allah says, you need not forget Allah, and you need to do it for Allah. Not only for this life but you also need to do it for the hereafter.
It says, “Ummahat ul-Mumineen.” The wives of our Holy Prophet are the mothers of Mumins (Believers). Holy ladies like them continue the same way. They are the mothers of Mumins and the mothers of every person.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
226.DO NOT BE HAPPY WITH EVIL Friday, 17 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
We are living in End Times. They are showing good people and goodness as bad and the bad as good. They are showing things that are not good, things that should not be done, as normal things, as things that can be done. Allah would not consent to this. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He states in the holy verse: “Innallathena yuhibbuna an tashi’al fahishatu fil-lathena aamanu lahum athabun aleem.” (Sura Noor:19) “Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread among those who have believed will have a painful punishment.” People of today think the more they do, the happier they will be. No, Allah is tormenting them. Torment is not only in the hereafter. They will certainly get evil in response to evil in this world too. The saying goes: “You reap what you sow.” People are sowing sin and Allah (JJ) is giving them torment in response. He is causing them pain, He is giving them disease, and He is giving them distress. Allah forbid, may Allah not give it to anybody. None of the beauties of the world can be of benefit when a distress comes. One needs to just repent and seek forgiveness, and stay away from evil.
They are coming out with various vileness in the name of fashion, and people are imitating them and committing sin. Because once it is in the open, in the same way our people are also slowly, slowly, gradually showing sin as something without any harm that is ordinary. Not only that, they get into bigger sins. It is a sin for those who do it or accept it too. It certainly becomes deserving of torment when it is a sin.
Humanity thinks it will not give account. Accounting will be done. Allah would make you suffer in the world and in the hereafter. There are mumins (believers) in the world too. There are thousands of examples that show how the beloved servants of Allah are in felicity, and how people whom Allah does not like are in pain. We hear about it every day. It is not like in the past anymore and people hear about events that happen in the other end of the world.
However, do not be happy, meaning we need to be sad when we see such evil. At least change it if you are able to change it. If you cannot change it, you need to say it is not appropriate. When you try to do this, a hundred devils (shaitans) swarm around you, they put you to shame, they yell and scream, and make you sorry you ever said it.
Therefore, at least you should not feel happy inside for something [evil] but feel bad for it. You need to say, “We do not accept what is happening. These people are the nation of our Holy Prophet (SAW). We are sad for this situation of theirs and we do not consent to it. May Allah give them guidance.”
We read in newspapers and what not, and three to five people come every day: “My daughter ran away from home. My son is a substance user (drug addict).” There is not a day such a thing does not occur. We cannot be happy with these but we should be sad, “How did those devils manage to pick them?” They say, “If we don’t give them money they beat us and take the money by force.” This is the situation people have fallen into. May Allah give common sense and intelligence to those who do this.
Those who think they are profiting from this business are not profiting at all. Even if all the money in the world were theirs, if they do not repent Allah Azza wa Jalla makes them pay in such a way in this world that He makes this world worse than hell for them. They are ruining so many people’s lives and so many families for a mere two pennies. These will not go for nothing. As long as they do not repent, they are to suffer in this world. As for the hereafter, there will be much more.
A person should not do a single thing that would harm this Nation. Shaitan should not fool oneself. There are people who do bad business in order to make a lot of money, but it is business with no baraka (blessing). It is business that has no benefit and it is poison for themselves. They are poisoning others, but they are actually taking the real poison themselves. It comes out of himself, his children, his family, and his health. Many people’s faith has weekend these days, and they have become fearless of Allah and unashamed of people. The head of wisdom is the fear of Allah. If you fear Allah, you would do no evil. You would do all evil if you do not fear Allah.
O people! Fear Allah! Allah Azza wa Jalla is the one who needs to be feared. There is no escape from Him. He is testing you, testing your ego. Do not follow your ego. Follow Allah. Both you and your family would be in comfort. Otherwise, you would not benefit seven generations of yours with what you are doing. There are some people whose father has done something [wrong] and that bad luck has reached their children. The bad luck their grandfather did reached all the way to the grandchildren. They say, “Whatever we do, we cannot carry on business. Something is wrong.” Then you see that their grandfather did something. Because they come from him, that bad luck has extended to them too. They have no fault, but because of the evil the grandfather did, since they ate from that food, it does not benefit them either. The blessing is gone and there is no use.
We are in End Times. People need to look after their own children. If the children want something, give it to them if it is good. If it is not good, be careful. Do not send them off with bad friends. Pay attention to where they go and where they come from. The times
are times when devils, these evil jinns are plenty. “They were imprisoned,” says Shaykh Mawlana. They were released too because it is End Times. That is why this vileness, filth, and shamelessness increased.
Be careful and teach your children as well: let them not leave the house without praying namaz, and let them recite the Basmala when they are about to leave. The same way again when they come back. Allah would not leave you if you pay attention. Therefore, you have a duty and those who listen to you have a duty too. May Allah help the Nation of Muhammad, and may he give guidance to the children Inshallah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
227.STATIONS ARE ASSIGNED ACCORDING TO MANNERS Friday, 17 November 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.
Tariqa is adab (manners) and adab is the character of our Holy Prophet. Allah Azza wa Jalla created our Holy Prophet upon the most beautiful manners. “I have only been sent to complete good morals,” said our Holy Prophet. The manners of people during our Holy Prophet’s time were lacking much. The companions had aggressive attributes. Our Holy Prophet raised them all to the highest stations. How did it happen? With adab. Adab raises people. First, you need to be mannered towards Allah, you need to be mannered towards our Holy Prophet, then you need to be mannered towards Mumins (Believers) and people. Some people get it mixed up and say, “Allah created us all equal.” Alright, He created us all equal, but you do not have respect and adab for those people either. When this is the case, your station is lower. Allah gives to people according to their station and according to their manners. The one in the highest stations and the most mannered is our Holy Prophet. Then the other prophets, companions, scholars, and awliya follow. They are all upon adab. There are some people who claim to be a scholar, but when they have no adab they have no authority and no power from the hand of Allah Exalted and Glorious be He. Adab is important. “Makarim ul-Akhlaq”. The most beautiful habit is manners. One needs to treat people with kindness and treat one’s family with adab. The mannered person is merciful. It is not part of manners to shove it in their face: “I am this and that. I am providing you with food.” It is also not appropriate to say, “I pray namaz (salah) so I can do whatever I want.” If you look at our Holy Prophet’s attributes and level of actions: he never cursed nor hit his family. When he took offence, he would leave their presence without saying anything. They would know something was wrong then. People of these times say they are people of tariqa and cause the women pain, beat them, and scold them. Then they claim to be people of tariqa. Tariqa cannot be that way. It can be with adab. As we said, first towards your family, then towards your neighbors, then towards your neighborhood. That is how manners spread. Kindness spreads like that. May Allah grant us all the morals (akhlaq) of our Holy Prophet. We can reach the most beautiful and the highest stations like that.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
228.THE MURSHID PREPARES THE MURID Saturday, 18 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah created son of man to grow starting from childhood, spend his life, and then go to the hereafter. During this time, people go through various tests. A test is a tough thing. Most people comply with their ego and do not know about a test or tribulation.
Whatever capabilities people have, they have both for the world and for the hereafter, they have to develop them. This happens by following a tariqa and a true guide (murshid). When you follow a true murshid, he makes you reach high stations. Otherwise you would be left raw, you would be left without being prepared, and you would leave the [the world the] way you came. When you follow a shaykh, he starts cooking you. As an example of this, let us describe it as an analogy. Think of a cauldron. All the brothers and sisters (ikhwan) are in it. Those who do a lot and those who do not are accordingly slowly being prepared. Those who do much, who progress more, are cooked more and taste better. Those who do less, they are also cooked slowly, and because they are together they also benefit. Most people are baffled, “What have I become?” They wonder, “Did I make progress or not?” From now on you are next to the shaykh. Do not think about this. Do the orders. Those bad habits of yours slowly decrease and your good habits increase. You become good and you become with the good ones. That is why our Holy Prophet says, “People are with those whom they love.” Since you are in the same vessel, you will also get from that taste. When you are with those beautiful people, their blessing (baraka) will surely get on you too, and you will always be together. Therefore, you must certainly connect to a door. You need to follow a way and a murshid so you are not left alone, so you are not left raw outside and leave as you came. It is still good if you leave as you came. People leave worse off. Because the world does not leave them clean. It rots them, it makes them moldy, it makes them stink, and sends them that way. In order not to end up in that state, if you do not want to end up in that state, make sure to follow a way and a guide, so he may train you and make you reach Allah. As we said, there is way and a murshid that fits everybody’s temperament. Everybody cannot be the same. There is no such thing as “Absolutely come to us”. You come if you have a
kismet. You come if there is affection (muhabbat) for you. If not, there is no obstacle if you want to go somewhere else. Because Allah has many beloved servants and ways. You can go on that path from everywhere and live as Allah commands. However, as we said, the murshid and the way are important. Do not say, “I can do it alone!” People who have tried to do it alone have not been able to succeed most of the time. They did not know the path and deviated from it. Therefore, make sure to follow a guide. May Allah grant us all to be prepared on this way InshaAllah, and may He not leave us raw. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
229.THE BELOVED SERVANT OF ALLAH Sunday, 19 November 2017
Today, thank Allah is the last day of the month of Safar. It is called “Safar ul-Khayr”, and it passed well thank Allah. It was good for the Islamic world and for Muslims. May Allah give the unbelievers (kafirs) what they deserve, and He did so Allah willing. Tomorrow is the month of our Holy Prophet, Rabi’ul Awwal. Rabi’ul Awwal, meaning the First Spring. It is the month of spring and beauty. Spring months are nice. That is why even if this Rabi’ul the sacred birth of our Holy Prophet is in the middle of winter, it is still beautiful. The beauty of spring is in the month of our Holy Prophet and we need to honor it beautifully. You can read a Mawlid everyday if possible. Of course, not everybody can read the Mawlid. We are to recite 1000 salawat a day for the whole month in honor of our Holy Prophet. When we do it for the honor of our Holy Prophet, Allah Azza wa Jalla would look at you with a good gaze, your business would go well, and whatever troubles you have would be taken away. We need to recite it with this intention. Do good deeds on the occasion of our Holy Prophet’s mawlid (birth) month and say, “We are doing this for the honor of our Holy Prophet.” Its rewards would be multiplied. It would be not ten times but 1000 times more, because he is the beloved servant of Allah. Our Master was sent as a mercy for the worlds. Our Holy Prophet is the highest of people and of the Universe. We need to be grateful that we are his Nation (Ummat). So many prophets said they wished they would be one of his Nation and not be a prophet. They would look at this Nation with admiration. Of course, people do not know its worth and disregard it. And some swear violently at our Holy Prophet. They will answer to Allah for it. Our Holy Prophet was sent as a mercy for humanity, because there was no such thing as Muslim when he was sent. In this case, he was sent as a guide to all of humanity and not just to Muslims. However, Shaitan does not sit idle. Shaitan’s greatest enemy is our Holy Prophet. Allah’s most beloved servant is our Holy Prophet. Look at it this way. Honoring our Holy Prophet is the greatest worship because nothing would have existed if he had not existed. Our Holy Prophet is a great blessing (nima) for us and we need to recognize the value of this blessing. InshaAllah this month passes in constant relief and affection. Inshallah we get to honor our Holy Prophet as much as we can. We need to tell this to people too. Shaitan has entered even amongst Muslims, and they are trying to show our Holy Prophet as a regular person. Whereas nobody can reach and get to the level of our Holy Prophet.
Even though our Holy Prophet had this high value, he would beg Allah Azza wa Jalla saying, “My Nation,” and wanted to become an intercessor. May we be granted his intercession (shafaat) InshaAllah and InshaAllah we will. How a person thinks and hopes is how it turns out. We will be saved through the shafaat of our Holy Prophet InshaAllah. We will not be saved through our own actions and works. Things that we give in honor of our Holy Prophet will be valuable. He will intercede as much as we honor him Allah willing. May Allah grant his affection to increase. May our faith strengthen for his honor and for his blessing. May the faith in our hearts increase InshaAllah. May Allah make us reach so many Mawlids like this InshaAllah. We hope Islam will be victorious with Mahdi Alayhis Salam, because what our Master gives glad tidings of is the truth and will come InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
230.OUR MASTER (SAW) IS MERCY Monday, 20 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
May our month of Rabi’ul Awwal be blessed. Thank Allah we passed the month of Safar with goodness and reached the month of Rabi’ul Awwal. It is the sacred month of our Holy Prophet. Our Master honored the world and lit the world in this month. His light lights the Universe. Allah gave such a light to our Holy Prophet from His light that it is higher than all. It is stronger than the sun’s light and the light of all the worlds. Allah gave all goodness to our Holy Prophet. Our Master is the final prophet. Allah completed all blessings (nimat) in him. What is nimat? Religion, the religion of Islam. It was completed with our Holy Prophet. There is no nimat greater than that. Our Holy Prophet was sent to people to give this nimat. “Wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatal lil- alameen.” (Sura Anbiya:107) He was sent as mercy. He brought this to people. He brought this great nimat to people. Now there are some foolish people who say, “The Prophet spread the religion by the sword.” There is no such thing. If a person offers you to, “Take this bread,” and you do not take it, would he beat you? Or would he raise his sword at you? He would not even do it for bread. Our Holy Prophet brought the greatest nimat: eternal happiness, eternal beauty, and paradise. Our Holy Prophet says, “Accept this and reach this happiness.” “No,” those of present-day say, “By force, by the sword!” It was not by the sword. He notified people one by one and they accepted it. Those who accepted became Muslim and those who did not paid their tax. The taxes of today are more. People give 40-50 times more tax. In response to the tax, safety would be ensured for those people that time. It would protect them from enemies and provide them with whatever other benefits. Suit yourself if you do not want to become Muslim. Pay your tax and live here as a citizen. Your protection and rights are all on us. There were some times when the sultan or the administrator could not provide protection. That time they returned the tax. Where have you heard of the opposite happening?
Islam is light. Beautiful people run to it and follow it. What is meant by the sword is of course you will respond to those who attack you. Of course you will protect those under your rule, those people who trust in you, and those people who pay you their taxes. You will also protect the Muslims who are your co-religionists and respond [to attacks]. Now they are slandering our Holy Prophet badly like this. Whereas our Holy Prophet is mercy and shows beautiful things to people. Those who wish accept, and those who wish continue as they know. It was never by force. So this is it. We need to clarify this to people. Now those who are here or those who are in lands of unbelief always slander our holy Prophet like this, and attribute every kind of evil to him. Whereas those who help them is Shaitan. Shaitan’s greatest enemy is our Holy Prophet. The one who does not like our Holy Prophet is also a shaitan (devil). Let us say this clearly. It is so no matter who it is. May Allah grant the love of our Holy Prophet to all people so Inshallah they know this blessing. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
231.ALLAH WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE Tuesday, 21 November 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.
“Tabarak-Allahul khallaqul atheem.” The only creator is Allah. Allah created everything in the most beautiful manner and made everything beautiful. Son of man has been trying to do something from of old.
Nemrud (Nimrod) said, “I make Ibrahim (Alayhis Salam) live and die.” They brought two slaves. He cut the head of one of them and killed him. “Here, I killed this one,” he said and he let the other one free. “I made this one live,” he said. So as not to be a part of his conversation, Ibrahim Alayhis Salam did not say to him, “Since you make it live and die...” He told him something better. Of course there are millions of other examples. He said, “Allah makes the sun rise in the east and set in the west. The sun sets in the west. Let us see if you can make it rise from the west and set in the east.”
Now, those who think they are scientists are trying to change the things Allah has created. The material is again what Allah has created. They take it and produce it somewhere else, but they are still things Allah has provided. When they do this they think they are like Nemrud. Nemrud said, “I am god!” and each one of these ones thinks the same of himself. However, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He will call them to account for it and will ask them, “What have you done?” They want to change what Allah has created. “Yuridoona ayyubaddilu kalam-Allah.” “Falayughayyurunna khalk- Allah.” (Sura Fat’h:15, Sura Nisa:119) Allah Azza wa Jalla said it and notified it. They want to change what Allah has created and think nothing of Allah. Their questioning will be tough.
Son of man always conforms to his ego, conforms to Shaitan, and stays away from good. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Those who believe are few.” Faith is a beautiful blessing (nima), but people do not know its worth and can do all kinds of evil so their name can be heard in the world. They are claiming to do good and are doing evil, but Allah will question them. Allah sees them. They have universities and this and that, but if Allah wants He makes people come out who stand up to them, and shows them what they are doing is wrong. And if they do, they cause harm and do not provide benefit to humanity. What they are doing to the world is harmful, evil, and nothing else. Allah made
everything according to a measure. “Kullu shay’in indahu bimiqdaar.” (Sura Ra’d:8) “Everything with Him is by due measure.” Everything has an account. Allah knows how and what to create. You are mixing it up, and then you are unknowingly causing harm to the whole world, causing harm to humanity, and causing harm to yourselves.
O scientists! Turn to Allah. In reality that is not science. It is a technique of Shaitan. It does not count as knowledge, because something that rebels against Allah is not knowledge. “Innama yakhsh-Allahu min ibadihil ulama.” (Sura Fatir:28) “Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge.”
The knowing (alims) fear Allah. They do not fear Allah, nor do they recognize Allah. Their accounting would be tough. People should not believe them. What they are doing is clear, in the open. They have ruined the whole world and finished it. However, their accounting is one thing and Allah’s accounting is something else.
In the end, Allah will clean them up. He will clean the world too Inshallah. He sends a person from next to Him, and when he arrives the whole world will be cleaned InshaAllah: Mahdi Alayhis Salam. May Allah make us reach him. May He make us all reach those days InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
232.PROTECT YOURSELVES FROM HELLFIRE Wednesday, 22 November 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. “Ya ayuhallathina amanoo qoo anfusakum wa ahleekum nara.” (Sura Tahrim:6) Allah says: “Protect your children and yourselves from the Fire, hellfire. A hell whose fuel is stones and people.” Allah Azza wa Jalla gave it as a punishment to people. Whoever does not protect himself would be throwing himself in the Fire by himself. Allah does not oppress anybody. People oppress themselves. That is why Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is cautioning us. Protect yourself. Protect yourself from sin and from evil so you would be protected from the Fire. Not only yourself, but He says to also protect your relatives, children, and whoever else. Protection is the essence of the matter. People protect themselves. People protect themselves against the enemy. People are in safety when they protect themselves. The thing we need to essentially protect ourselves from is eternal hell. We need to be protected from it. This is possible by performing Allah’s commands. You protect yourself, your family, and your relatives this way. Protection is good in every way. You need to pay attention to it. You need to know: “What is good? What is bad? Who is good? Who is bad?” and stay away from them. First, you will protect yourself from the forbidden (haram). Whatever haram deed there is it looks beautiful, it looks attractive, but it is the real danger. You will protect yourself and your family from them. Stay alert! Look at what it is and where evil will come from. Be careful of these! In the military, they instruct you where and how to protect yourself at night. Here, Allah Azza wa Jalla sent our Holy Prophet, the awliya (saints), and the scholars to instruct you. So you may protect yourselves. They show the way how to protect yourself. Never make concessions to the enemy, because you fall into danger when you make concessions. We have a pitiless enemy, but people can easily be protected from it if they want. Do not say, “No, let me follow it and yield to it. If I surrender to it, it would feel pity for me and not
do anything.” This is an utterly merciless enemy and has no pity whatsoever. He will not let go until he takes you to hell. May Allah protect us from the enemy. We need to protect ourselves with His help. What will help us is our affection for our Holy Prophet, our respect for him, and our honoring him. This protects us. It is a huge shield against evils. The more you have affection for our Holy Prophet the more you are protected. May Allah protect us from evils for the sake of this month, for the sake of our Holy Prophet’s holy birth, and for the sake of Rabi’ul Awwal, InshaAllah. May Allah grant us to be together with him in paradise InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
233.HONORING OUR MASTER (SAW) IS NOT HARD Thursday, 23 November 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 tariqa continuously teaches adab (manners). The highest adab is with our Holy Prophet. He still shows humility even though he is so high. Our Holy Prophet states, “I am the master of son of Adam but I do not take pride.” He says, “I am the Messenger of Allah and the final Prophet. Still I do not take pride.” He also says, “I am the best of Arabs and I still do not take pride.” He only says this to teach us.
Even though our Holy Prophet has many things to take pride in, conceit and pride belong to Allah. He shows us this adab. People of today are bewildered by how to raise themselves and how much arrogance to display in the smallest thing. A person’s ego is bloated in the smallest thing. He immediately thinks he is something [great] if he rises to a position. He bloats like, “I created the little mountains,” and falls into a laughing situation. The more a person shows arrogance, the more the person lowers oneself.
The person who is humble rises, and the person who is arrogant lowers. This is the meaning of the hadiths of our Holy Prophet. We can say it in Turkish (in the language we speak) because we are not reading it in Arabic. It is an order and an obligation (fard) to honor our Holy Prophet. Allah Azza wa Jalla made it obligatory on us to honor him, to love him, and to go on his way. These beautiful days are the month of his birth, the month of Mawlid. The more we honor him, the more acceptable servants we become in the sight of Allah. When Allah loves you, He takes care of all your business and gives tranquility inside. People are searching for tranquility. Tranquility occurs by loving our Holy Prophet, by respecting him, and by honoring him.
How did the sahaba (companions) rise to those stations? By loving our Holy Prophet, by following his orders, by helping him, and by going on his path; each one of them became like a star and shined. Our Holy Prophet said, “You will be guided by following anyone of them.” We would not follow them if they had acted according to their own heads. The one they loved is the Prophet and the one they followed is our Holy Prophet.
Therefore, it is beautiful and not difficult to honor our Holy Prophet. It is hard for a person’s ego to do the smallest good. Whereas our Holy Prophet is not telling us to carry rocks on our back, he tells us to love the Prophet. And Shaitan is trying with all he has got to be an obstacle to it. May Allah increase his love for all of us so we may become more acceptable servants in Allah’s sight InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
234.ALLAH IS GENEROUS AND HE LOVES THE GENEROUS Friday, 24 November 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 Holy Prophet states, “Allah Azza wa Jalla Himself will give the reward for people who go to the grave of their parents and recite Yaseen Shareef on a Friday.” The holy day of Friday is a big gift to Muslims in every sense. It is a blessing (nima) of Allah. It is a holiday, the holiday of Muslims every week.
People do not recognize externally, but it becomes a great virtue for those who respect and honor it. Accordingly, it is a great good deed to visit the parents’ graves and recite Yaseen on a Friday. This is the case for those who are near. Those who are not nearby can recite the Yaseen Shareef where they are and gift it to them. Of course along with them, it is for our Holy Prophet, his family, and his sahaba (companions) all together. It is also for people you want to include and love. Nothing would be decreased if you also include them in these prayers (duas) and Koran recitations. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He would give them all and deliver it to them all without anything being decreased from you. This is not our statement. It is the hadith of our Holy Prophet. Those who oppose the hadith can fit themselves. There are so many who oppose now. They are coming out here too and talking as if they are giving from their own pockets. Already Allah does not like the stingy. He loves the generous. Allah Azza wa Jalla is generous. He is the most generous of the generous. He says, “I am giving.” Read it. “If you say one, I write ten,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. There is reward from ten to 1,000 to 10,000. Its account is in Allah’s sight. Its account is next to Him and He gives as much as He wants. As you like, if you are stingy and ungenerous. They call it “Gatsot” in Cyprus. Allah is unlike you. Allah does not like these people. May Allah make us among His beloved servants and the generous. Let money and material aside, people do not want to give spiritually either. However, Allah Azza wa Jalla does not listen to them and loves those who are on His path. He loves those who accredit and believe in the words of our Holy Prophet. These are the hadiths of our Holy Prophet and they have all been written in hadith books. Scholars are saying this from the time of our Holy Prophet till now. Do not listen to the words of stingy people who have come out lately. This month is especially more sacred. Allah Azza wa Jalla gives multiples more in honor of our Holy Prophet.
Therefore, let us do more charity, good, honoring, salawat, and whatever else as much as possible InshaAllah. Fridays are more acceptable. May this Friday of ours be mubarak (blessed) too. What the Jews are most jealous of in Islam are Friday Prayers and saying “Ameen” after the Fatiha. Because they do not have it, they are jealous of it. There is no need to be jealous. The religion is a true religion. They need to follow this religion as well. This religion is open to all people. Mustafa, Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam is Rahmatan Lil’alameen (Mercy for the worlds). Lucky for us that we are from his Nation (Ummat). May Allah make it a means for goodness InshaAllah. May we not deviate from his way and reside close by him in paradise InshaAllah.

235.SPECIALLY FOR OUR MASTER Saturday, 25 November 2017
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
We said it yesterday: our Holy Prophet’s birthday is approaching: the Mawlid Sharif. The Sacred Birth is on the 12th night of Rabi’ul Awwal, on Monday night. Our Holy Prophet’s birth is based on the Arabi or Lunar year. That night is a holy night. You cannot gain that virtue on another day if you miss it. Its virtue is great. We should not miss it and we should show it respect. That night is the night of joy for the whole Universe, Allah willing.
This is the case for our Holy Prophet, but the Lunar year is not important for our people, the Nation of Muhammad. Our birthday can be according to the normal year because that night has no virtue and what not. The following ones like Laylat ul-Qadr (The Night of Power) and other nights can be the same too. It would still be virtuous if one was born on that day, but for normal people the birthday of our Holy Prophet, the Mawlid day, is on that Lunar day, so it would be honored and since it is specially for the Prophet.
There is no problem for others. You can celebrate your birthday if you were born in April, in March, or in June. Meaning there is no harm or sin in saying it, but our Holy Prophet’s specially belongs to him, it is special for him. Honoring him should be done on that day. So now people are asking, “We wonder if we should also do it according to the Lunar year? Should we say it is on that day?” No, because birth, papers, passport, and this and that cannot be done differently, and there is no need to do it differently either. Therefore, it has to be this way so we do not see ourselves as too special. Only our Holy Prophet’s birth is celebrated as Lunar.
Other holy ones and normal people can be whenever it is. Our Holy Prophet’s place needs to be different and it needs to be special. May that day’s baraka (blessing) be on us InshaAllah. May his love increase so much more InshaAllah. May Allah grant us his shafa’at (intercession) InshaAllah. May we also be located near him in paradise InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
236.ALLAH WILL COMPLETE HIS LIGHT Sunday, 26 November 2017

Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is giving a test to Muslims during these holy days. The whole world of unbelief is attacking to get rid of Muslims. They say Muslims are killing Muslims. No, a Muslim does not kill a Muslim. Those who do it are non- Muslims. Because Islam told of everything that can be done. It told of what needs to be done, things that are not supposed to be done, what is allowed, and things that are not allowed. If a Muslim gets up and kills a Muslim that time he is in eternal hell.
Eternal hell means this person has left Islam. These people have nothing to do with Islam. There are those who look Muslim on this side. Non-Muslims think they can attack, kill, burn, destroy, and do all kinds of
