Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya. Our way is the way of associations and the goodness is in being together.

Every soul is fed as per its apetite and its needs. These words of wisdom are recorded and are then distributed among murids an non murids all over the world, in various forms.

II.FOREWORD
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Allahumma Salliala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alaa Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim
As salaamwalekum wa Rehmatullahi taala wa Barakaatu
Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS. Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Mehmet QS.
This book is a compendium of sohbets or spiritual discourses, of the year 2018, of our Master and teacher of millions and worldwide leader of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order, Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani QS, may Allah SWT grant him good health and long life – Aameen.
These sohbas are easily available in video format on www.saltanat.org & www.hakkanitv.org. We are trying to make it easy for the followers to find a medium that suits them to receive these teachings. Therefore the sohbas of this book is available in 3 formats:
1.Videos 2.PDF copy 3.Hard copy
Please pick the format that suits you and get enlightened with the words and teachings of our Master. May Allah SWT bless us with good understanding and the tawfeeq to act upon these teachings – Aameen.
If any of the readers would like to translate this book or the series of these books to any other language, please seek Maulana Shaykh Muhammad’s permission. Please do not translate without his permission. If you are unable to reach him directly, you may write to me and in sha Allah I shall seek try to permission for you.
Alhamdulilah we are blessed that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS, the head of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order has blessed us and allowed us to work on these books, year after year. We have already completed and released 4 books, before this one, ie; 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. These books are available in both soft & hard formats through our website www.naqshbandiindia.com. Soon this book of sohbas of 2018 shall be available in both soft & hard formats.
There are various teams involved in the making of these books (series of books). It is a process of service that teams of murids are offering right from the AV team, to the transcripting team, to the compiling team, to the printing and then the distribution team. I am greatful to each and everyone involded in the making of the previous books and this one too. May Allah SWT reward all with khair here and hereafter – Aameen.
We have a few advise for the readers to make the reading process more beneficial. Our advise is simple, read only until you can stay focused. These sohbas / lectures are words of a saint of Allah SWT. If we lose focus and lose focus on a few lines in between while reading the meaning of the message may be changed.
In other words, the teachings of the Shaykh may be misunderstood. Also try to keep a highlighter handy, and / or use sticky notes, so you can highlight topics, or sentences which you would like to refer in the future. The lectures are transcripted and are in the exact form as Maulana Mehmet speaks.
Another advise is that when ever you read the name Allah, please say Jalla Jalaaluhu or Subhana Wa Ta’aala along with it. When you read Prophet Muhammads Name, please make sure to say Sal lal laa hu alaihi wa sallam. When you come across Sahaba Names, please say Radi Allahu Anhu and when you come across Maulana Shaykh Nazim or other Awlia names, please say Qaddas Allahu Sirrahu.
May Allah SWT bless the one who reads this book, with good understanding and hidaya to act upon these teahcings of our Master – Aameen.
It has been a big Baraka (blessing) that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad himself has been releasing the hard copies of the books. As mentioned in previous editions too, when the PDF is ready, I call Maulana Shaykh and he makes dua and blesses the release of the book. Once the hard copy is ready we try to meet up with him and get the book officially released by his blessed hands.
Below are again a few pictures of the previous books being released by Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad QS. Sohba Collection 2015 Released at the Maqam of Grand Shaykh Mujaddid Alf Sani Shaykh Ahmed Farooqi Sirhindi QS, Sirhind, Punjab, India.
Sohba Collection 2016 Released at a special private gathering at Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Sohba Collection 2017 Released at a public gathering at the Negari Sembilan Zavia, Serambam, Malaysia.
We have been tying this with the earlier editions and will keep doing the same with the editions to come, that these books much reach all the Naqshbandi Zavias all over the world. The zikr leaders there can read a lecture from these books in their gatherings and let the teachings of the Shaykh reach his murids. Often it is seen that in many Zavias the khadims / zikr leaders begin to explain somethings or try to teach about the Naqshbandi tariqa but what they teach are not from the teachings of our Shaykhs. These are mostly what they have heard from other ulama and also read in some books or just word of mouth. If it is from another aalim, there can be a difference of opinion. That’s ok and we must follow what our Shaykh teaches us. But in many cases its just word of mouth that they start spreading and most of it are lies. The same gets spread ahead and there are so many false points floating all over the world in the name of our Shaykh. We must save ourselves and save others too from falsehood. We are murids of The Haqqani – Rabbani Shaykhs. Haqqani means defender of Truth. Let us make it a barakah for all and just use the lectures of our Shaykh directly.
I really appreciate your good understanding. May Allah forgive me and bless you all. Wa minallahi tawfeeq Al faatiha
Love & best regards, Khaadim Shaykh Ashraf Ali Ghansar Naqshbandi

1.OUR DOORS ARE OPEN FOR EVERYONE Monday, 9 January 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, the Naqshbandi Tariqa, is open for everybody. We have no obstacles for anyone who comes to us, so we do not forbid them. This is the door of Allah. It is open for whoever comes. The order is as such. Allah Azza wa Jalla told our Holy Prophet (SAW), “Notify it to everybody.” You will accept whoever comes. In fact,
“Aatabani Rabbi,” said our Holy Prophet. He would say, “Welcome O for whom Allah Azza wa Jalla has addressed me.” A sura was revealed asking why he did not accept him or did not show him much attention:
“Abasa wa tawalla, an ja’ahul aama.” (Sura Abasa:1-2) “The Prophet frowned and turned away, because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].” When our Holy Prophet was talking with the unblievers of Quraysh trying to bring them round, I forgot exactly which companion it was but a blind person came. He wanted to ask something. While our Holy Prophet was debating with them, since many people would come round if they came round, he ignored him and Allah Azza wa Jalla warned our Holy Prophet.
That is why everytime he came, our Holy Prophet would say, “O for whom Allah Azza wa Jalla has addressed me. Welcome.” So we do not have the luxury to accept this one and not accept that one. Whoever comes, everybody is welcome. Whoever leaves, we cannot hold them. This is the door of Allah. Those who will come will come, those who will stay will stay, and those who will leave will leave. Then there is another matter. They say, “How can Shaykh Mawlana accept these people? They are fasiq, they are this and that.” As we said, our door is the door of Allah and it is not to be shut. Whoever comes can come. We do not dismiss anybody. But it does not mean we share the same ideas with everyone who comes. Christians also come. Zoroastrians also come. Jews also come. They all come. Everybody comes. However, if the person who comes is Jewish or Zoroastrian, it does not mean we have also become Zoroastrian. We are not going to become Zoroastrian or Buddhist just because they came. Therefore, this is also an important matter. There are those who refuse saying, “This one came and that one came.” Let them pay attention to how Muslimism spread ever since the time of our Holy Prophet. For they were not all Muslim. They were all polytheists (mushrik) and
unbelievers (kafir). Even Hazrat Omar buried his daughter when he was a mushrik, and wept for the rest of his life. Will a person not come next to our Holy Prophet just because he is a kafir? There, they came and what a coming it was!
Our Muslims need to think a little. They need to work their minds a little. It is not good to immediately become suspicious. As we said, all kinds of people come. Thank Allah our way is clear. It is the way of the Prophet and it is open for all. We do not dismiss people who come searching for the right way. Of course, you cannot come all 24 hours. There is a time to come. There are certain places to come to. It cannot be all 24 hours. There are some super smarts who come and knock on the door in the middle of the night. This is not alright either.
There is a time for it. People are welcome when they come with manners. Everybody has a place on top of our heads. With us there is nothing such as “He would not accept you. Don’t you go!” As we said, our door is open not just for people who are Muslim and mumin but even for the kafir. If we shut that door to them to make dawah, they would carry on a lawsuit against us on the Day of Judgment.
You would become responsible if they say, “We went there seeking guidance, searching for the path of Allah. This man shut the door on us, he did not accept us, and this is why we ended like this!” Then never get involved and forget about this work. In fact, even if you forget about it and a person comes asking you something, you need to tell them what you know. And if you do not know, you need to show them the way saying, “I do not know brother, but go to that person. He would be able to help you better.”
This way is as such, so it is not a game. There is no such thing as “Now I want it, now I don’t.” We are not going to leave this way just because this one or that one got offended. It is a commandment. We have made the intention to continue this way for the sake of Allah for as long as Allah has assigned, for the lifetime He has assigned, Inshallah until the end of our life. Our door is open to everybody. May Allah send us good people, those who will come to guidance (become Muslim). May we be with the good Inshallah. Let us show the good and beautiful way, our way of the Prophet In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
2.THOSE WHO DO NOT ATTEND FOR THREE WEEKS SHOULD NOT CLAIM TO BE FROM THE TARIQA Friday, 10 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 says in his dua: “I seek refuge in Allah from the bad friend.” He says, “We also seek refuge in Allah from the bad neighbor, and we seek refuge in Allah from bad places.” There are certain places which you must pass by quickly when passing next to them. The bad friend takes a person to danger in the same way.
Son of man is in a world of tests. You see that a man is an orderly person. He is by himself, he performs all timely prayers (namaz), and he is a pious person. Then you see that he suddenly changed. What caused him to change? The friend. He hung around with a bad friend. “We live better,” they say. “We are not living an entertaining life. It is not a good life,” they think, and they suddenly leave everything and go wrong when they are by themselves. That is why they certainly must be attached somewhere, to a shaykh. They need to be attached to a murshid (guide) so the people around them would also be good, would not take them to bad things, and would not show them bad things.
People’s ego leans towards evil. One of the great awliya (saints) said: “What is the most foolish thing in this world? A person’s ego.” Because it never wants good for itself. It always wants evil and harm. What would you say if you saw a person who wanted to be harmed? You would say, “Crazy, fool.” The ego is the same way. There is none more foolish, crazier, and more unreasonable than it. That is why the person who goes after his/her ego is the same way: unreasonable, in loss, and foolish. The ego wants evil for itself too, not always for others. It harms itself first. That is why our Holy Prophet has said, “Your greatest enemy is the ego inside you.”
Your ego is the greatest enemy. If you leave it be with bad ones like itself, it is happy, it celebrates, and it never shows you the right path. So there are none that went after their ego and were saved. The person who trains his/her ego is saved. The ego should not be left free. It should constantly be kept under control. A person should be attached to a community (jamaat), to zikrs, and to a shaykh. You cannot afford to release its leash. Do not release its leash, otherwise it will take you places you will regret. Allah forbid, final regret would be of no use either. Final regret is in the hereafter.
Allah forbid, may Allah protect us from being regretful. May Allah not make us amongst those who regret it in the hereafter. Being regretful is of no use there. If you are regretful in this world and repent, Allah would forgive. If you have made true repentance, He also changes your sins to good deeds. This way you come out profiting, and this is not final regret.
Our ancestors have beautiful sayings that people do not know why they say them. That final regret is in the hereafter, so naturally it is not useful at all. We have the chance to repent and be regretful while living in this world. We even have the chance to pay ransom. Therefore, so as not to regret in this world either, we constantly need to be with the community, with the brothers/sisters, and regularly attend the lessons. If you do not attend once a week, then once every two weeks. If you cannot attend once every two weeks, you should not pass three weeks. The mashayikh (shaykhs) used to say: “Those who pass three weeks should be ashamed to say they are from the tariqa.”
The efforts of shayks is to work to hold people on the right path. It is not easy to restrain humanity in the midst of so many devils. They certainly ask for madad (help) from the Prophet (SAW). There is need for himmat (spiritual support) from him so they stay on the right path. We need to struggle with the ego till the last breath. You are in danger if you do not do it. It is more difficult when you are by yourself like that. That is why Shaitan’s greatest enemy are tariqas and mazhabs (schools of thought within fiqh). They want to catch everybody one by one.
Shaitan and this world (dunya) got together, they saw that people are in a body, in a community, so Shaitan and the world got very upset because they could not do much to them. The world said, “Wait, they will disperse one by one soon. First we give them preoccupations of the world, then you catch them one by one.” Do not be solo. Be with the community since strength is with the community. Allah’s hand of power is with the jamaat. You would be saved when you are with the community. It says if you are by yourself, Shaitan would grab you, the wolf would grab you. The wolf is Shaitan.
As we said, Shaitan’s greatest enemy is our Holy Prophet and those who follow him. He picks on and attacks more those who are on his right path and those who follow him. There are perverted factions which you see everything of theirs is outwardly beautiful. Why? Because Shaitan is not picking on them. He says, “These ones are my men anyway.” They get along with each other and help each other too. However, two people cannot even stand each other on the true path. Always a dispute, and dissension (fitna) and corruption (fesad).
Therefore, we need to be careful and not be saddened. They say, “How can I be saved from Shaitan or the ego?” They ask, “How will we be saved from these?” You are not saved as long as you are on the true path. You will constantly strive and constantly be
careful. These are a test too. Your station rises with tests and you gain rewards. The more you oppose those things, the more your station rises and your rewards increase. So nothing goes to waste in the sight of Allah. When you do good against them, ten rewards, a hundred rewards, and a thousand rewards are written in the sight of Allah.
Some Europeans are advanced in making machines, arranging finances, and material things. Because when they do such things for themselves, they calculate everything materially. They take account of everyone in this democracy and what not dirtiness, and give judgment accordingly. They have this thing called philosophy. They have philosophy as a religion and philosophy as irreligiousness. There is manners (adab) in Islam. They do not even have the “a” of adab. Why are we saying this? They are saying, “Look how much this world and people are being oppressed. There is so much evil. Why did Allah create them?” O impudent, shameless, and immoral! How dare you interfere in Allah’s work?!
Everything has a wisdom [behind it]. Allah did not send you and did not create you for you to chit-chat. Allah placed you in this world as a test. Afterwards, your hereafter will be eternal according to your test. You will either go to hell or to heaven. It will be hard for you if you misbehave like that. There is no suffering in paradise - no torment, no disease, no hunger, no thirst, no tyranny, and nothing from evils. If you want this, do it and sit in paradise. This world is not even like the blinking of an eye compared to the hereafter.
Why did we mention this? Just like we said a little ago, they say, “Why did Allah create Shaitan?” Here, it is the wisdom of Allah. He created him to test you. You either go to the depths of hell or you go to heaven. Here, this is his use. Allah does not create anything unnecessary. Everything has a wisdom and a use. It has a benefit and a harm. Muslims see the benefits. Our station rises by opposing him, not doing what he tells us to do, and doing the opposite of what he says. And the others follow him and oppose Allah. They are opposing Allah just like Shaitan opposed saying, “Why did You create Adam?”
They are asking, “What is this oppression? Why?” This is not oppression. They are things that will happen. It is a test. Allah has millions of wisdoms and this is one of them. Adab is important. Not only in our country, but we were in Southeast Asia for a month and it is the same everywhere. There is an admiration for Europe. They call it the white man. What white man? They are pitch-dark. Their insides cannot be seen from their tyranny and darkness. What they do appeals to their eye. They try to dress as they dress and dine as they dine. In fact, they even forgot their own language in some countries and are speaking like Europeans.
May Allah give common sense and intelligence to the Islamic world. They are not
appreciating this blessing (nima) of Allah. They are not appreciating the blessing of Islam and the blessing of iman (faith). Because when you are born as Muslim, you are born with Islamic manners (adab). No matter how much you look like them and try to look like them, still that light of faith inside of you gives you some manners. But they have no such thing as manners. They are doing all kinds of improper acts and all kinds of filth, then they make judgments without hesitation. They think they can also make Allah Azza wa Jalla do as they like. Be careful! They have no knowledge in these things. Allah has given them worldly knowledge. They can make cars, weapons, bombs, machines, and tools, but these are not important. What is important is spirituality. It is no use for them once there is no spirituality. It is nothing but harm for them. They think they rule the world, whereas as we said a little ago, they have no minds.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is the absolute ruler. They do not recognize Him, and are ignorant because they do not recognize Him. They call it the Period of Ignorance (Jahiliyya). It existed prior to our Holy Prophet. The second Jahiliyya is now. May Allah protect us. The educated become more ignorant, but people think they know something. Do not be deceived by them. What they know is a little bit of technology that Allah has taught them. Technology has no limit in the sight of Allah. So they are nearly going to declare themselves as god with a little technology. That is how ignorant they are.
May Allah keep us safe from their evils. The faith Allah has given us is the greatest nima. There can be nothing greater. May Allah strengthen our faith and that of all Muslims Inshallah. Because when there is no faith, the person only consists of flesh and is of no use. May Allah bring out Mahdi Alayhis Salam as soon as possible so the truth may be seen In Sha Allah.

3.THE HOLY CITY OF QUDS (JERUSALEM) Friday, 15 December 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.
Nowadays there is a matter, and all the people keep asking about it: the third holy city of Quds, Masjid Aqsa. Allah Azza wa Jalla has explained the matter right in the middle of the Koran. The greatest miracle is the Koran anyway. Our Holy Prophet says, “The Koran tells you of what passed before you, and it tells of what will come and what will occur after you.” It even tells of what will happen. Right in the middle:
“Subhanal-lathee asra bi’abdihi laylan minal-masjidil harami ilal masjidil aqsal- lathee.” (Sura Isra:1) Allah Exalted and Glorious be He made our Holy Prophet travel at night from Masjid Haram, the Kaaba, to Masjid Aqsa, Quds. So it is a holy mosque, a holy site. A prophet built it: Suleiman Alyhis Salam. It is sacred, it is called Bayt ul-Maqdis. Masjid Aqsa, Bayt ul-Maqdis, is a very holy site. Muslims would pray towards it as the first qibla. That is how holy it was. Then it turned towards the Kaaba.
First Mecca Mukarrama, Medina Munawwara, then Quds. Mecca Mukarrama and Medina Munawwara are holy places our Holy Prophet stayed at. Allah assigned those places to Muslims. No other non-Muslims can enter. However, He made Quds open for everyone, because it is the sacred and holy site of three prophets and their followers.
Following Suleiman Alyahis Salam, when Allah gives blessing (nima) to people, people go wild. They got a great blessing those times. Allah granted them great possessions. With possessions they went wild, and when they went wild, Allah inflicted them with a king. The king of Babel entered. He burned, destroyed, and killed. He did not leave anyone of them, and took the rest as prisoners to Babel. They remained there for a few centuries, and when another king came and defeated them, they returned to their place again.
Of course, the one who took them back is a prophet again. They returned with a prophet. They promised they would not cause dissension (fitna) and corruption (fesad) and returned there. Allah Azza wa Jalla accounts for this in the Koran. He says it as: “When you caused fitna, we inflicted you with powerful and brutal people.” He burned and
destroyed you. That matter happened in the past and it is over, but Allah Exalted and Glorious be He says it as a miracle there:
“Latufsidunna fil-ardi marratain.” (Sura Isra:4) “You will rise twice.” When the first occurred, here, We sent these people to you and they took you [prisoners]. Then, He says, you will rise a second time when Doomsday is near. A greater miracle than this? People used to say, “The one who does not believe in Allah is a kafir (infidel).” Of course they are kafirs. Allah Azza wa Jalla has explained everything. Muslims have forgotten Allah. There is a crazy man they keep cursing and finding fault with. Allah has made him a means. Just like Shaitan’s purpose is to make you rise – your station rises by opposing him and not doing what he says – this is the same way.
When the time comes, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He will come out with someone so things are in place. Here, now this matter appeared. It is a test for people in every sense. The first test: so that Muslims would have stronger faith in Allah since Allah’s words are coming true. The end will be good, because Allah does not oppress anybody when people are deserving of punishment. These issues occur so they may find their punishment through their own oppression. The one who is Muslim takes lesson form these and does not fear. Allah is with us. Allah is with those who obey Him.
When these matters occur, we need to turn to Allah, we need to beg Allah, and we need to pray (make dua) to Allah. We need to make dua as: “Send a head for Islam. Send us a savior that will save us from this abasement,” because he coming is for certain. The hadiths miraculously told by our Holy Prophet will occur in End Times. He told of most events. And one of them is Isa Alayhis Salam’s (Jesus Christ) descending and Mahdi Alayhis Salam’s coming.
People’s minds cannot fit all that is happening and they are thinking, “Something new every day. A big incident occurs every day. What is this?” This means the Day of Judgment is closing in. There are also events that will occur before Judgment Day. Lots of things will happen. One of them is fitnas (dissensions). Our Holy Prophet says, “There will be such fitnas that these fitnas of End Times are like utterly dark nights.” Here, we are living in those times. However, we need to obey Allah and pray to him that He may help us, and beg Allah to send us a savior as soon as possible.
“Wa maa dua’ul kafirina illa fi dalaal.” (Sura Ra’d:14) He says, “Disbelievers can pray as much as they want, their duas will not be answered.” When a Muslim prays it is answered while a kafir’s prayers is unanswered. It has no value because they do not believe in Allah. Most of them do not make dua anyway because they do not believe in a creator and in Allah. Those who believe are the Muslims, and our greatest weapon is dua. Dua is more powerful than the most powerful weapon. Therefore, may Allah send a savior as soon as possible and may he lead these Muslims In Sha Allah.
Inshallah we reach those times. The whole world will become Muslim Allah willing. Everywhere will be filled with azan (the call to prayer) and Koran. Those beautiful days will come Inshallah. There will be mercy and baraka (blessing) when Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrives, and shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief) will no longer exist. The rain, food, drinks, and everything of those times are more beautiful. Disbelief and rebellion are rising from everywhere now. When Allah Azza wa Jalla makes it rain suddenly it floods and washes away, or he does not make it rain at all and it glares down and burns.
It is due to the vileness going on now. Such filth, such vileness, such rebellion, such sin, and such disbelief have not been seen ever since the world came to being. When we speak of End Times, that is the reason our Holy Prophet says it is completely dark, gloom and darkness are descending. When these go away everywhere will be lit and light. There will neither be floods nor droughts as long as there are Muslims. Later towards the end, people will get corrupt again. It will start again then, but that time Doomsday will have erupted.
May Allah grant us all those beautiful days. As we said, humans, Muslims will supplicate to Allah when they cannot do anything with regards to these incidents occurring. They will turn to Allah: “We do not consent to this. We cannot do anything. We are leaving it to You.” Muslims are being tyrannized and harmed everywhere, not just in Quds, but all over the world. In Sha Allah when Mahdi Alayhis Salam comes out, darkness will be gone all over the world and tyranny will end. May Allah make us reach him as soon as possible In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
4.ALLAH IS DEFENDING OUR ANCESTORS Friday, 22 December 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 need to do everything asking, “Is Allah happy with this or not?” The Muslim person needs to do this because Allah is one and what Allah says is clear – His commands, what He likes and what He does not like are clear. However, people are not one, a thousand, or a million, but there are billions of people. Therefore, those who have a mind should not look at what people say but what Allah says. What Allah commands us is: “Do your job well.” He commands our Holy Prophet: “Fastaqim kama umirt.” (Sura Hude:112) “Remain on the right path!” “Kama umirta,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla, “As you have been commanded.” “Those who are with you and who follow you, remain on a right course and do not swerve!” Those who are to listen to what people say – excuse me, excluding this assembly - will then twerk like a dancer and twist this way and that way.
The Ottomans were under Allah’s commands, never deviated from the right path, and ruled for seven hundred years. The time came and people went wild. They went wild everywhere. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He said to them, "Here you have it, let us see if you can do as the Ottomans did.” After the Ottomans they twerked this way and that way, this way and that way for a hundred years. And they could not come through with anything.
All these people who were under Ottoman rule, those who repaid kindness with evil, who regarded good as evil, have had a run of bad luck for a hundred years. People perished. Not even one percent of these calamities that occurred in the last one hundred years occurred in seven hundred years with the Ottomans. Because there was baraka (blessing) with the Ottomans. The sultans were ruling under Allah’s commands. Because the sultan was the head and because he was good, people under his rule were successful in becoming like him. The sadr-azams (grand viziers), viziers, beys, and pashas were people who were the most well-bred. They would serve for the sake of Allah.
Of course, dissension (fitna) entered in later years. There were also those who went out of Allah’s path and did not obey the sultan – it is the will of Allah. They ruined it because they did not stay on Allah’s path. However, still with the sultan’s baraka Allah Azza wa Jalla pushed them off and removed them, then this great fitna occurred. Those who
defended Mecca and Medina with their lives went hungry, went thirsty, but they did not leave that place.
After a hundred years, here in this day and age, we see that Allah has given everything. He gave weapons, power, money, oil, gold, tools and machinery and whatever, but something is missing. Allah’s consent is missing. He is not happy with them and that is why everything they do stinks. It has been a hundred years. They do not have an excuse left anymore. There has never been so much wealth and power in this world as these hundred years, but it is the will of Allah that they are unable to succeed in anything and lose face.
So why is this happening? Because they did not want Allah’s consent but wanted the consent of others. Others are the enemy of Allah and Shaitan’s friends. They were with Shaitan’s friends and hence were unable to succeed. However, this also had to occur because if it were not so, Mahdi Alayhis Salam whom our Holy Prophet (SAW) told good news of would not come.
Now, they are also talking badly about clean people. What they are saying is not acceptable in the sight of Allah. They will receive a bigger punishment. Allah Almighty is the defender of those who have faith in Allah, who believe in Allah, and who show respect to the Prophet (SAW). However, as we said, Allah will make this servant go wild so he gets his punishment, an

II.FOREWORD
Auzubillahi minash shaitanir rajeem Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Allahumma Salliala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alaa Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim
As salaamwalekum wa Rehmatullahi taala wa Barakaatu
Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Nazim QS. Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Murshidi Sultan ul Awlia Maulana Shaykh Mehmet QS.
This book is a compendium of sohbets or spiritual discourses, of the year 2018, of our Master and teacher of millions and worldwide leader of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order, Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Aadil Ar Rabbani QS, may Allah SWT grant him good health and long life – Aameen.
These sohbas are easily available in video format on www.saltanat.org & www.hakkanitv.org. We are trying to make it easy for the followers to find a medium that suits them to receive these teachings. Therefore the sohbas of this book is available in 3 formats:
1.Videos 2.PDF copy 3.Hard copy
Please pick the format that suits you and get enlightened with the words and teachings of our Master. May Allah SWT bless us with good understanding and the tawfeeq to act upon these teachings – Aameen.
If any of the readers would like to translate this book or the series of these books to any other language, please seek Maulana Shaykh Muhammad’s permission. Please do not translate without his permission. If you are unable to reach him directly, you may write to me and in sha Allah I shall seek try to permission for you.
Alhamdulilah we are blessed that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad QS, the head of the Naqshbandiya Aaliya Sufi Order has blessed us and allowed us to work on these books, year after year. We have already completed and released 4 books, before this one, ie; 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. These books are available in both soft & hard formats through our website www.naqshbandiindia.com. Soon this book of sohbas of 2018 shall be available in both soft & hard formats.
There are various teams involved in the making of these books (series of books). It is a process of service that teams of murids are offering right from the AV team, to the transcripting team, to the compiling team, to the printing and then the distribution team. I am greatful to each and everyone involded in the making of the previous books and this one too. May Allah SWT reward all with khair here and hereafter – Aameen.
We have a few advise for the readers to make the reading process more beneficial. Our advise is simple, read only until you can stay focused. These sohbas / lectures are words of a saint of Allah SWT. If we lose focus and lose focus on a few lines in between while reading the meaning of the message may be changed.
In other words, the teachings of the Shaykh may be misunderstood. Also try to keep a highlighter handy, and / or use sticky notes, so you can highlight topics, or sentences which you would like to refer in the future. The lectures are transcripted and are in the exact form as Maulana Mehmet speaks.
Another advise is that when ever you read the name Allah, please say Jalla Jalaaluhu or Subhana Wa Ta’aala along with it. When you read Prophet Muhammads Name, please make sure to say Sal lal laa hu alaihi wa sallam. When you come across Sahaba Names, please say Radi Allahu Anhu and when you come across Maulana Shaykh Nazim or other Awlia names, please say Qaddas Allahu Sirrahu.
May Allah SWT bless the one who reads this book, with good understanding and hidaya to act upon these teahcings of our Master – Aameen.
It has been a big Baraka (blessing) that Maulana Shaykh Muhammad himself has been releasing the hard copies of the books. As mentioned in previous editions too, when the PDF is ready, I call Maulana Shaykh and he makes dua and blesses the release of the book. Once the hard copy is ready we try to meet up with him and get the book officially released by his blessed hands.
Below are again a few pictures of the previous books being released by Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad QS. Sohba Collection 2015 Released at the Maqam of Grand Shaykh Mujaddid Alf Sani Shaykh Ahmed Farooqi Sirhindi QS, Sirhind, Punjab, India.
Sohba Collection 2016 Released at a special private gathering at Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Sohba Collection 2017 Released at a public gathering at the Negari Sembilan Zavia, Serambam, Malaysia.
We have been tying this with the earlier editions and will keep doing the same with the editions to come, that these books much reach all the Naqshbandi Zavias all over the world. The zikr leaders there can read a lecture from these books in their gatherings and let the teachings of the Shaykh reach his murids. Often it is seen that in many Zavias the khadims / zikr leaders begin to explain somethings or try to teach about the Naqshbandi tariqa but what they teach are not from the teachings of our Shaykhs. These are mostly what they have heard from other ulama and also read in some books or just word of mouth. If it is from another aalim, there can be a difference of opinion. That’s ok and we must follow what our Shaykh teaches us. But in many cases its just word of mouth that they start spreading and most of it are lies. The same gets spread ahead and there are so many false points floating all over the world in the name of our Shaykh. We must save ourselves and save others too from falsehood. We are murids of The Haqqani – Rabbani Shaykhs. Haqqani means defender of Truth. Let us make it a barakah for all and just use the lectures of our Shaykh directly.
I really appreciate your good understanding. May Allah forgive me and bless you all. Wa minallahi tawfeeq Al faatiha
Love & best regards, Khaadim Shaykh Ashraf Ali Ghansar Naqshbandi

1.OUR DOORS ARE OPEN FOR EVERYONE Monday, 9 January 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, the Naqshbandi Tariqa, is open for everybody. We have no obstacles for anyone who comes to us, so we do not forbid them. This is the door of Allah. It is open for whoever comes. The order is as such. Allah Azza wa Jalla told our Holy Prophet (SAW), “Notify it to everybody.” You will accept whoever comes. In fact,
“Aatabani Rabbi,” said our Holy Prophet. He would say, “Welcome O for whom Allah Azza wa Jalla has addressed me.” A sura was revealed asking why he did not accept him or did not show him much attention:
“Abasa wa tawalla, an ja’ahul aama.” (Sura Abasa:1-2) “The Prophet frowned and turned away, because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].” When our Holy Prophet was talking with the unblievers of Quraysh trying to bring them round, I forgot exactly which companion it was but a blind person came. He wanted to ask something. While our Holy Prophet was debating with them, since many people would come round if they came round, he ignored him and Allah Azza wa Jalla warned our Holy Prophet.
That is why everytime he came, our Holy Prophet would say, “O for whom Allah Azza wa Jalla has addressed me. Welcome.” So we do not have the luxury to accept this one and not accept that one. Whoever comes, everybody is welcome. Whoever leaves, we cannot hold them. This is the door of Allah. Those who will come will come, those who will stay will stay, and those who will leave will leave. Then there is another matter. They say, “How can Shaykh Mawlana accept these people? They are fasiq, they are this and that.” As we said, our door is the door of Allah and it is not to be shut. Whoever comes can come. We do not dismiss anybody. But it does not mean we share the same ideas with everyone who comes. Christians also come. Zoroastrians also come. Jews also come. They all come. Everybody comes. However, if the person who comes is Jewish or Zoroastrian, it does not mean we have also become Zoroastrian. We are not going to become Zoroastrian or Buddhist just because they came. Therefore, this is also an important matter. There are those who refuse saying, “This one came and that one came.” Let them pay attention to how Muslimism spread ever since the time of our Holy Prophet. For they were not all Muslim. They were all polytheists (mushrik) and
unbelievers (kafir). Even Hazrat Omar buried his daughter when he was a mushrik, and wept for the rest of his life. Will a person not come next to our Holy Prophet just because he is a kafir? There, they came and what a coming it was!
Our Muslims need to think a little. They need to work their minds a little. It is not good to immediately become suspicious. As we said, all kinds of people come. Thank Allah our way is clear. It is the way of the Prophet and it is open for all. We do not dismiss people who come searching for the right way. Of course, you cannot come all 24 hours. There is a time to come. There are certain places to come to. It cannot be all 24 hours. There are some super smarts who come and knock on the door in the middle of the night. This is not alright either.
There is a time for it. People are welcome when they come with manners. Everybody has a place on top of our heads. With us there is nothing such as “He would not accept you. Don’t you go!” As we said, our door is open not just for people who are Muslim and mumin but even for the kafir. If we shut that door to them to make dawah, they would carry on a lawsuit against us on the Day of Judgment.
You would become responsible if they say, “We went there seeking guidance, searching for the path of Allah. This man shut the door on us, he did not accept us, and this is why we ended like this!” Then never get involved and forget about this work. In fact, even if you forget about it and a person comes asking you something, you need to tell them what you know. And if you do not know, you need to show them the way saying, “I do not know brother, but go to that person. He would be able to help you better.”
This way is as such, so it is not a game. There is no such thing as “Now I want it, now I don’t.” We are not going to leave this way just because this one or that one got offended. It is a commandment. We have made the intention to continue this way for the sake of Allah for as long as Allah has assigned, for the lifetime He has assigned, Inshallah until the end of our life. Our door is open to everybody. May Allah send us good people, those who will come to guidance (become Muslim). May we be with the good Inshallah. Let us show the good and beautiful way, our way of the Prophet In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
2.THOSE WHO DO NOT ATTEND FOR THREE WEEKS SHOULD NOT CLAIM TO BE FROM THE TARIQA Friday, 10 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 says in his dua: “I seek refuge in Allah from the bad friend.” He says, “We also seek refuge in Allah from the bad neighbor, and we seek refuge in Allah from bad places.” There are certain places which you must pass by quickly when passing next to them. The bad friend takes a person to danger in the same way.
Son of man is in a world of tests. You see that a man is an orderly person. He is by himself, he performs all timely prayers (namaz), and he is a pious person. Then you see that he suddenly changed. What caused him to change? The friend. He hung around with a bad friend. “We live better,” they say. “We are not living an entertaining life. It is not a good life,” they think, and they suddenly leave everything and go wrong when they are by themselves. That is why they certainly must be attached somewhere, to a shaykh. They need to be attached to a murshid (guide) so the people around them would also be good, would not take them to bad things, and would not show them bad things.
People’s ego leans towards evil. One of the great awliya (saints) said: “What is the most foolish thing in this world? A person’s ego.” Because it never wants good for itself. It always wants evil and harm. What would you say if you saw a person who wanted to be harmed? You would say, “Crazy, fool.” The ego is the same way. There is none more foolish, crazier, and more unreasonable than it. That is why the person who goes after his/her ego is the same way: unreasonable, in loss, and foolish. The ego wants evil for itself too, not always for others. It harms itself first. That is why our Holy Prophet has said, “Your greatest enemy is the ego inside you.”
Your ego is the greatest enemy. If you leave it be with bad ones like itself, it is happy, it celebrates, and it never shows you the right path. So there are none that went after their ego and were saved. The person who trains his/her ego is saved. The ego should not be left free. It should constantly be kept under control. A person should be attached to a community (jamaat), to zikrs, and to a shaykh. You cannot afford to release its leash. Do not release its leash, otherwise it will take you places you will regret. Allah forbid, final regret would be of no use either. Final regret is in the hereafter.
Allah forbid, may Allah protect us from being regretful. May Allah not make us amongst those who regret it in the hereafter. Being regretful is of no use there. If you are regretful in this world and repent, Allah would forgive. If you have made true repentance, He also changes your sins to good deeds. This way you come out profiting, and this is not final regret.
Our ancestors have beautiful sayings that people do not know why they say them. That final regret is in the hereafter, so naturally it is not useful at all. We have the chance to repent and be regretful while living in this world. We even have the chance to pay ransom. Therefore, so as not to regret in this world either, we constantly need to be with the community, with the brothers/sisters, and regularly attend the lessons. If you do not attend once a week, then once every two weeks. If you cannot attend once every two weeks, you should not pass three weeks. The mashayikh (shaykhs) used to say: “Those who pass three weeks should be ashamed to say they are from the tariqa.”
The efforts of shayks is to work to hold people on the right path. It is not easy to restrain humanity in the midst of so many devils. They certainly ask for madad (help) from the Prophet (SAW). There is need for himmat (spiritual support) from him so they stay on the right path. We need to struggle with the ego till the last breath. You are in danger if you do not do it. It is more difficult when you are by yourself like that. That is why Shaitan’s greatest enemy are tariqas and mazhabs (schools of thought within fiqh). They want to catch everybody one by one.
Shaitan and this world (dunya) got together, they saw that people are in a body, in a community, so Shaitan and the world got very upset because they could not do much to them. The world said, “Wait, they will disperse one by one soon. First we give them preoccupations of the world, then you catch them one by one.” Do not be solo. Be with the community since strength is with the community. Allah’s hand of power is with the jamaat. You would be saved when you are with the community. It says if you are by yourself, Shaitan would grab you, the wolf would grab you. The wolf is Shaitan.
As we said, Shaitan’s greatest enemy is our Holy Prophet and those who follow him. He picks on and attacks more those who are on his right path and those who follow him. There are perverted factions which you see everything of theirs is outwardly beautiful. Why? Because Shaitan is not picking on them. He says, “These ones are my men anyway.” They get along with each other and help each other too. However, two people cannot even stand each other on the true path. Always a dispute, and dissension (fitna) and corruption (fesad).
Therefore, we need to be careful and not be saddened. They say, “How can I be saved from Shaitan or the ego?” They ask, “How will we be saved from these?” You are not saved as long as you are on the true path. You will constantly strive and constantly be
careful. These are a test too. Your station rises with tests and you gain rewards. The more you oppose those things, the more your station rises and your rewards increase. So nothing goes to waste in the sight of Allah. When you do good against them, ten rewards, a hundred rewards, and a thousand rewards are written in the sight of Allah.
Some Europeans are advanced in making machines, arranging finances, and material things. Because when they do such things for themselves, they calculate everything materially. They take account of everyone in this democracy and what not dirtiness, and give judgment accordingly. They have this thing called philosophy. They have philosophy as a religion and philosophy as irreligiousness. There is manners (adab) in Islam. They do not even have the “a” of adab. Why are we saying this? They are saying, “Look how much this world and people are being oppressed. There is so much evil. Why did Allah create them?” O impudent, shameless, and immoral! How dare you interfere in Allah’s work?!
Everything has a wisdom [behind it]. Allah did not send you and did not create you for you to chit-chat. Allah placed you in this world as a test. Afterwards, your hereafter will be eternal according to your test. You will either go to hell or to heaven. It will be hard for you if you misbehave like that. There is no suffering in paradise - no torment, no disease, no hunger, no thirst, no tyranny, and nothing from evils. If you want this, do it and sit in paradise. This world is not even like the blinking of an eye compared to the hereafter.
Why did we mention this? Just like we said a little ago, they say, “Why did Allah create Shaitan?” Here, it is the wisdom of Allah. He created him to test you. You either go to the depths of hell or you go to heaven. Here, this is his use. Allah does not create anything unnecessary. Everything has a wisdom and a use. It has a benefit and a harm. Muslims see the benefits. Our station rises by opposing him, not doing what he tells us to do, and doing the opposite of what he says. And the others follow him and oppose Allah. They are opposing Allah just like Shaitan opposed saying, “Why did You create Adam?”
They are asking, “What is this oppression? Why?” This is not oppression. They are things that will happen. It is a test. Allah has millions of wisdoms and this is one of them. Adab is important. Not only in our country, but we were in Southeast Asia for a month and it is the same everywhere. There is an admiration for Europe. They call it the white man. What white man? They are pitch-dark. Their insides cannot be seen from their tyranny and darkness. What they do appeals to their eye. They try to dress as they dress and dine as they dine. In fact, they even forgot their own language in some countries and are speaking like Europeans.
May Allah give common sense and intelligence to the Islamic world. They are not
appreciating this blessing (nima) of Allah. They are not appreciating the blessing of Islam and the blessing of iman (faith). Because when you are born as Muslim, you are born with Islamic manners (adab). No matter how much you look like them and try to look like them, still that light of faith inside of you gives you some manners. But they have no such thing as manners. They are doing all kinds of improper acts and all kinds of filth, then they make judgments without hesitation. They think they can also make Allah Azza wa Jalla do as they like. Be careful! They have no knowledge in these things. Allah has given them worldly knowledge. They can make cars, weapons, bombs, machines, and tools, but these are not important. What is important is spirituality. It is no use for them once there is no spirituality. It is nothing but harm for them. They think they rule the world, whereas as we said a little ago, they have no minds.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He is the absolute ruler. They do not recognize Him, and are ignorant because they do not recognize Him. They call it the Period of Ignorance (Jahiliyya). It existed prior to our Holy Prophet. The second Jahiliyya is now. May Allah protect us. The educated become more ignorant, but people think they know something. Do not be deceived by them. What they know is a little bit of technology that Allah has taught them. Technology has no limit in the sight of Allah. So they are nearly going to declare themselves as god with a little technology. That is how ignorant they are.
May Allah keep us safe from their evils. The faith Allah has given us is the greatest nima. There can be nothing greater. May Allah strengthen our faith and that of all Muslims Inshallah. Because when there is no faith, the person only consists of flesh and is of no use. May Allah bring out Mahdi Alayhis Salam as soon as possible so the truth may be seen In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

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.
Nowadays there is a matter, and all the people keep asking about it: the third holy city of Quds, Masjid Aqsa. Allah Azza wa Jalla has explained the matter right in the middle of the Koran. The greatest miracle is the Koran anyway. Our Holy Prophet says, “The Koran tells you of what passed before you, and it tells of what will come and what will occur after you.” It even tells of what will happen. Right in the middle:
“Subhanal-lathee asra bi’abdihi laylan minal-masjidil harami ilal masjidil aqsal- lathee.” (Sura Isra:1) Allah Exalted and Glorious be He made our Holy Prophet travel at night from Masjid Haram, the Kaaba, to Masjid Aqsa, Quds. So it is a holy mosque, a holy site. A prophet built it: Suleiman Alyhis Salam. It is sacred, it is called Bayt ul-Maqdis. Masjid Aqsa, Bayt ul-Maqdis, is a very holy site. Muslims would pray towards it as the first qibla. That is how holy it was. Then it turned towards the Kaaba.
First Mecca Mukarrama, Medina Munawwara, then Quds. Mecca Mukarrama and Medina Munawwara are holy places our Holy Prophet stayed at. Allah assigned those places to Muslims. No other non-Muslims can enter. However, He made Quds open for everyone, because it is the sacred and holy site of three prophets and their followers.
Following Suleiman Alyahis Salam, when Allah gives blessing (nima) to people, people go wild. They got a great blessing those times. Allah granted them great possessions. With possessions they went wild, and when they went wild, Allah inflicted them with a king. The king of Babel entered. He burned, destroyed, and killed. He did not leave anyone of them, and took the rest as prisoners to Babel. They remained there for a few centuries, and when another king came and defeated them, they returned to their place again.
Of course, the one who took them back is a prophet again. They returned with a prophet. They promised they would not cause dissension (fitna) and corruption (fesad) and returned there. Allah Azza wa Jalla accounts for this in the Koran. He says it as: “When you caused fitna, we inflicted you with powerful and brutal people.” He burned and
destroyed you. That matter happened in the past and it is over, but Allah Exalted and Glorious be He says it as a miracle there:
“Latufsidunna fil-ardi marratain.” (Sura Isra:4) “You will rise twice.” When the first occurred, here, We sent these people to you and they took you [prisoners]. Then, He says, you will rise a second time when Doomsday is near. A greater miracle than this? People used to say, “The one who does not believe in Allah is a kafir (infidel).” Of course they are kafirs. Allah Azza wa Jalla has explained everything. Muslims have forgotten Allah. There is a crazy man they keep cursing and finding fault with. Allah has made him a means. Just like Shaitan’s purpose is to make you rise – your station rises by opposing him and not doing what he says – this is the same way.
When the time comes, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He will come out with someone so things are in place. Here, now this matter appeared. It is a test for people in every sense. The first test: so that Muslims would have stronger faith in Allah since Allah’s words are coming true. The end will be good, because Allah does not oppress anybody when people are deserving of punishment. These issues occur so they may find their punishment through their own oppression. The one who is Muslim takes lesson form these and does not fear. Allah is with us. Allah is with those who obey Him.
When these matters occur, we need to turn to Allah, we need to beg Allah, and we need to pray (make dua) to Allah. We need to make dua as: “Send a head for Islam. Send us a savior that will save us from this abasement,” because he coming is for certain. The hadiths miraculously told by our Holy Prophet will occur in End Times. He told of most events. And one of them is Isa Alayhis Salam’s (Jesus Christ) descending and Mahdi Alayhis Salam’s coming.
People’s minds cannot fit all that is happening and they are thinking, “Something new every day. A big incident occurs every day. What is this?” This means the Day of Judgment is closing in. There are also events that will occur before Judgment Day. Lots of things will happen. One of them is fitnas (dissensions). Our Holy Prophet says, “There will be such fitnas that these fitnas of End Times are like utterly dark nights.” Here, we are living in those times. However, we need to obey Allah and pray to him that He may help us, and beg Allah to send us a savior as soon as possible.
“Wa maa dua’ul kafirina illa fi dalaal.” (Sura Ra’d:14) He says, “Disbelievers can pray as much as they want, their duas will not be answered.” When a Muslim prays it is answered while a kafir’s prayers is unanswered. It has no value because they do not believe in Allah. Most of them do not make dua anyway because they do not believe in a creator and in Allah. Those who believe are the Muslims, and our greatest weapon is dua. Dua is more powerful than the most powerful weapon. Therefore, may Allah send a savior as soon as possible and may he lead these Muslims In Sha Allah.
Inshallah we reach those times. The whole world will become Muslim Allah willing. Everywhere will be filled with azan (the call to prayer) and Koran. Those beautiful days will come Inshallah. There will be mercy and baraka (blessing) when Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrives, and shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief) will no longer exist. The rain, food, drinks, and everything of those times are more beautiful. Disbelief and rebellion are rising from everywhere now. When Allah Azza wa Jalla makes it rain suddenly it floods and washes away, or he does not make it rain at all and it glares down and burns.
It is due to the vileness going on now. Such filth, such vileness, such rebellion, such sin, and such disbelief have not been seen ever since the world came to being. When we speak of End Times, that is the reason our Holy Prophet says it is completely dark, gloom and darkness are descending. When these go away everywhere will be lit and light. There will neither be floods nor droughts as long as there are Muslims. Later towards the end, people will get corrupt again. It will start again then, but that time Doomsday will have erupted.
May Allah grant us all those beautiful days. As we said, humans, Muslims will supplicate to Allah when they cannot do anything with regards to these incidents occurring. They will turn to Allah: “We do not consent to this. We cannot do anything. We are leaving it to You.” Muslims are being tyrannized and harmed everywhere, not just in Quds, but all over the world. In Sha Allah when Mahdi Alayhis Salam comes out, darkness will be gone all over the world and tyranny will end. May Allah make us reach him as soon as possible In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
4.ALLAH IS DEFENDING OUR ANCESTORS Friday, 22 December 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 need to do everything asking, “Is Allah happy with this or not?” The Muslim person needs to do this because Allah is one and what Allah says is clear – His commands, what He likes and what He does not like are clear. However, people are not one, a thousand, or a million, but there are billions of people. Therefore, those who have a mind should not look at what people say but what Allah says. What Allah commands us is: “Do your job well.” He commands our Holy Prophet: “Fastaqim kama umirt.” (Sura Hude:112) “Remain on the right path!” “Kama umirta,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla, “As you have been commanded.” “Those who are with you and who follow you, remain on a right course and do not swerve!” Those who are to listen to what people say – excuse me, excluding this assembly - will then twerk like a dancer and twist this way and that way.
The Ottomans were under Allah’s commands, never deviated from the right path, and ruled for seven hundred years. The time came and people went wild. They went wild everywhere. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He said to them, "Here you have it, let us see if you can do as the Ottomans did.” After the Ottomans they twerked this way and that way, this way and that way for a hundred years. And they could not come through with anything.
All these people who were under Ottoman rule, those who repaid kindness with evil, who regarded good as evil, have had a run of bad luck for a hundred years. People perished. Not even one percent of these calamities that occurred in the last one hundred years occurred in seven hundred years with the Ottomans. Because there was baraka (blessing) with the Ottomans. The sultans were ruling under Allah’s commands. Because the sultan was the head and because he was good, people under his rule were successful in becoming like him. The sadr-azams (grand viziers), viziers, beys, and pashas were people who were the most well-bred. They would serve for the sake of Allah.
Of course, dissension (fitna) entered in later years. There were also those who went out of Allah’s path and did not obey the sultan – it is the will of Allah. They ruined it because they did not stay on Allah’s path. However, still with the sultan’s baraka Allah Azza wa Jalla pushed them off and removed them, then this great fitna occurred. Those who
defended Mecca and Medina with their lives went hungry, went thirsty, but they did not leave that place.
After a hundred years, here in this day and age, we see that Allah has given everything. He gave weapons, power, money, oil, gold, tools and machinery and whatever, but something is missing. Allah’s consent is missing. He is not happy with them and that is why everything they do stinks. It has been a hundred years. They do not have an excuse left anymore. There has never been so much wealth and power in this world as these hundred years, but it is the will of Allah that they are unable to succeed in anything and lose face.
So why is this happening? Because they did not want Allah’s consent but wanted the consent of others. Others are the enemy of Allah and Shaitan’s friends. They were with Shaitan’s friends and hence were unable to succeed. However, this also had to occur because if it were not so, Mahdi Alayhis Salam whom our Holy Prophet (SAW) told good news of would not come.
Now, they are also talking badly about clean people. What they are saying is not acceptable in the sight of Allah. They will receive a bigger punishment. Allah Almighty is the defender of those who have faith in Allah, who believe in Allah, and who show respect to the Prophet (SAW). However, as we said, Allah will make this servant go wild so he gets his punishment, an
