Suhbah 2018: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (2/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5502
d the punishment is Inshallah near. Allah’s help is with Islam.
They can have as much weapons as they want, they can have as much money as they want, and even if the whole world is theirs Allah is with Muslims, with faithful people, and those who are on the right path; not with those who claim to be Muslim in name only and stab Muslims in the back. Those who claim to be Muslim and do all kinds of evil are people who have nothing to do with Islam. When Mahdi Alayhis Salam appears they will also get punished Allah willing. Fitnas increase more as the time nears. Therefore, never be sad or have fear when a fitna occurs. Be patient and you will see that Allah’s promise is true.
Not like these people who twerk. Allah’s promise and word is true. It will happen. Our Holy Prophet is “Sadiqul Wa’dil Ameen” and his word is also true. He said, “There will come a person from my progeny in End Times following those fitnas.” Mahdi Alayhis Salam will fill the whole world with goodness, justice, and beauty. It is full of filth and perversion now, and they have made perversion a crown. Of course, it is Shaitan’s work because a Muslim does everything but does not do that perversion and is not disgraced. That is why they made it the top subject now. The whole of this land of unbelievers (kafirs) and unbelief (kufr) is speaking about this matter.
None of them will be left when Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrives. Unbelief will not be left and all will be Muslim. Those who do not become Muslims can suit themselves. They will go to the hereafter and they will be questioned in the hereafter. So there is no such thing as, “I am dead and I am saved.” They will be in eternal hell in the hereafter. We hear something new every day. Of course we are displeased, but there is the promise of Allah. He says in the Koran, “Allah helps those who believe, He defends them, and He gives a lesson to those who attack them.”
May Allah make us amongst the good ones and keep us far from the bad ones. May we stay away Inshallah. Let us be respectful towards our ancestors and not lend an ear to the words of every pervert. Even the poorest of us now lives in ten times more luxury than our ancestors did. Even the poorest person is like this. Our ancestors spent a lifetime with one jacket. Now you give it to the poor and if it is a little old they throw it in the garbage. We see it at the soup kitchen. When they take something old, old clothes, they throw it away by the time they reach the road down the street. We then collect it from the street.
It is not our place to say bad words about our ancestors. You will remember them with mercy and ask Allah forgiveness for them. We are still living with their blessings, with their honor, and with their karamat (miraculous deeds) in the sight of Allah. They are Allah’s beloved people. We are living in this comfort out of respect to them. That is why Allah is defending them. We also need to defend them as much as we can. We need to tell our children of the sacrifices they made, since children now only know about worthless games in their hand and nothing else. We need to tell them.
Inshallah these generations are preserved for their sake. Devils are plenty and they are poisoning the children. Those things they poison will be poison for them too. Those who are busy with those works and who do those works, Allah will certainly cause them suffering. Because people’s children are their most beloved and their lifeblood. If they are harmed, with their sigh (curse) you cannot be saved even if you pay ten times the money you made from it. May Allah keep us safe from the evils of these times. May Allah make us reach Mahdi Alayhis Salam as soon as possible. Therefore, constantly make dua for Shaykh Mawlana and may Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrive as soon as possible In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
5.THE SAVED FACTION Wednesday, 27 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.
Allah Azza wa Jalla referred us to the right path, glory be to Him, thanks be to Him. Our Holy Prophet has said, “In End Times, my Nation will divide into 73 factions. They are all at loss and one will be saved.” The companions (sahaba) asked, “With so many factions, who should we be with? He said, “With the majority.”
The majority is, thank Allah, the faction we are in and which our tariqa is in. It is the faction that is going on the path of our Holy Prophet, and which loves and respects his Ahl-e Bayt (Family of the Prophet) and his sahaba. They found everything with them. Our Holy Prophet’s words, hadiths, show this. “That is the saved faction,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). If you look at the world, the majority of Muslims are in it. Even if they are silent, they are the majority. You would think the ones who are vocal, who yell and scream, are plenty of people but they are not. They are not acceptable. Allah orders in the Glorious Koran (Quran- e Azimush-sha’n): “Do not shout too much!” He tells not to raise our voice over the voice of our Holy Prophet. They are unmannered people. You think they are a lot, but the real majority is people who are on the path of our Holy Prophet.
Thanks be to Allah. Our Holy Prophet states in his hadith sharif, “This faction will remain until the Day of Judgment and victory is with them. Even if they look defeated sometimes, they are the majority. Be with them. Do not be with others so you are not at loss, and so your hereafter would not be at loss.” We need patience in this world. Do not deviate from the right path even if you suffer pain. The Naqshbandi tariqa shows this path best. Other tariqas show it too. This is not a path to deviate from. It is a beautiful path. But may Allah not deviate us, some people do deviate from the path. There are people in some places who have not heard of it, and they happily join this path when they hear of it. May Allah grant them all this guidance. May He also make us and those on this path awake, so they are not fooled by anyone and are not effected by what anyone says. We are on the right path; thanks be to Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
6.THE EGO IS A TEST OF SON OF MAN Friday, 29 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.
Allah Azza wa Jalla placed the ego as a test for son of man; there is Shaitan and there is this world (dunya). Everything around is a test for son of man. Some people think when they do a certain thing they will not commit sin any longer, and the ego and Shaitan will stay away from them. There is no such thing.
Only our Holy Prophet’s ego and his shaitan became Muslim. Our Holy Prophet’s devil became Muslim and he is considered a companion (sahabi) from then on. However, son of man needs to struggle against them and keep them distant until he dies. He has to follow the commands of Allah and not follow them.
He says, “I went to hajj. All my sins are over. It is set now on.” No, Shaitan picks on you more following hajj to fill you with sins again. “I made itikaf (staying in the mosque) and the sins are gone. I did such good deed and they are gone...” Do not think your ego dies. It does not die! It is constantly with you until your death. You need to be in a state of war with it so your station would rise. And this is a wisdom of Allah. The more you do not abide by it, the more rewards you gain and your station rises. This is its benefit.
Angles do not have an ego and a shaitan. Allah created them like that, but if son of man does not follow his ego he becomes higher than them. If he follows his ego, of course he becomes the lowest. It is called “Asfala safileen”. He becomes the lowest, most degraded creature that time. May Allah not make us abide by our ego. May we always be victorious over our ego In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
7.THE GREATEST OPPRESSION Saturday, 30 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.
“Yaf’alu ma yureed.” (Sura Hajj:14) He says, “Allah Azza wa Jalla does what He wills.” If Allah wants, He can make the sun appear in the middle of winter and make it hotter than summer. Nothing is difficult for Him. He is the creator. He does everything. Son of man either associates partners with Him (commits shirk), or never recognizes Him and commits sin by saying, “It is nature.”
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He, He is the creator. That is why there are lots of disasters and calamities these times. It is happening so son of man would come to his senses, but son of man still does not accept. Allah does not care about those who do not care about Him. Allah is not merciful on those who do not believe in Him because they are oppressing. He says, “The greatest oppression is the one done against Allah.” Because Allah provided everything. He is the one who granted us with all kinds of blessings (nima). Those who do not accept become ungrateful and oppressive then. Troubles never cease from those oppressors, they become anxious, and are never given peace of mind.
Therefore, our Holy Prophet has said about End Times, “Rain would rain as calamity, and children would be given as trouble.” Meaning this is what would happen to those who do not obey Allah. That is why if you want your family and your children to be good, obey Allah so your children would be beneficial to you. When bringing children would not be beneficial, our Holy Prophet has said, “It is better to look after a dog than feed a child in End Times.” Ma’athAllah (Allah forbid), may Allah protect us. You can really see it. Therefore, may Allah give us all guidance, and may we not be separated from Him even for an instant Inshallah. May we always be with Allah. May Allah’s zikr, may Allah’s name, not be erased from our heart. The person who falls into heedlessness falls into calamity, Allah forbid. May Allah give these people guidance. May He protect these Islamic countries from the evils of Shaitan and from human shaitans (devils) In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
8.STAY AWAY FROM DISSENSION (FITNA) Wednesday, 3 January 2018
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.
These days we are living in are End Times, times of dissension (fitna). It says to stay away from dissension. Dissension is cursed. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Fitna is asleep. Cursed be the one who awakens it.” There is fitna for some time now since it is End Times, but you are not obliged to get involved in that fitna and help it out more. It says, “Do not harm anybody so nobody would harm you.”
“La darara wala dirar” is a Muslim’s basic law. This is what our Holy Prophet says. Who is the cause of dissension? It is Shaitan. Shaitan wants to cause fitna, to ruin everywhere, and show the good things done as bad. Therefore, what our Holy Prophet says is to never get involved in any fitna knowingly or unknowingly! Be careful that they do not use you and cause fitna. You need to be careful of this. Do not make yourself a target of curse by anybody’s words.
It says a Muslim is the one who does not harm a Muslim. It is he who goes in peace and comes in peace, and provides goodness to his surroundings. The hypocrite or foolish person immediately jumps in the fitna. Supposedly it will benefit him. It will not. Nothing but harm comes out of fitna. Therefore, may Allah keep it away from us. If people were alert there would be no fitna anyway, but their faith is weak, they expect everything from the other person, and they have forgotten about Allah. Both good and bad are from Allah. If you are poor, you will ask Allah so He would provide you your sustenance. You cannot gain anything by going about harming others and causing fitna. That person never gains and nothing but harm befalls him. As we said, these are End Times, times of fitna. Be careful! Stay away from fitna. Run away from fitna! Do not be embarrassed to think, “I did not get involved and do anything...” There is nothing to be embarrassed about because you are obeying Allah’s command and not harming anybody. Fitna is to harm Muslims and to harm people and it is cursed. May Allah protect us from the fitnas of these End Times. Allah would protect those who do not get involved in fitna anyway.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
9.THE IMPORTANCE OF FOUNDATIONS/TRUSTS Monday, 8 January 2018
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.
Thank Allah we went and came back safe and sound. Egypt is a holy place. The first mosques of Africa were built there. There are thousands of maqams, maqams of sahaba (companions). In addition, there are maqams of the Ahl-e Bayt (Family of the Prophet). The holy head of our master Hussain is there. His sister, children, cousins, and grandchildren are all there. They are holy places to visit, and of course the people there respect them. For their baraka (blessing), Allah gave that big country baraka and a hundred million people live there.
When they respected them and showed due respect, Allah gave blessings and beauty. There was no poverty. Egypt was the world’s wealthiest country, but when they threw away a king, they took over the people’s money. They tyrannized and did not do good afterwards. More importantly, the waqf (religious foundation), the Department of Awqaf had hundreds of thousands or hundreds of millions of acres of land. They took it all too, they usurped it. When this was the case Allah did not make it turn good. Allah Azza wa Jalla gave everything, but when there was such disrespect...
Mashallah, the locals are pleasant. Their respect is very pleasant. The ones who came later, those who came after the king, in order to collect money took over the posessions of these waqfs and distributed it to the people. When they were distributed to the people, since these foundations have conditions and the owner of the waqf writes that those who do not abide by the conditions are cursed. The owner assigned it as a trust so it would be of use to Muslims until the Day of Judgment. Trusts were established to look after mosques, the tombs there, and so they would be maintained and repaired without being in need of anyone, without being in need of the government. They seized those trusts.
This is the case everywhere, but it was more there so that nothing was left. Tombs and mosques are very neglected. When in fact if they were repaired, lots of people would come and visit them. It will benefit them both materially and spiritually. However, Shaitan is an enemy of the people. He picks on wherever a benefit or reward might come to people, he wants to make away with it, and by removing it he wants curses to rain on people.
The waqf is important. People need to be careful of the possessions of the waqf. It would make you regret it if you even took a penny. Therefore - we have examples in front of us - we need to be careful of waqfs. They are things people have assigned as a trust until Judgment Day. People in charge need to be more careful since it is their responsibility. Regular people cannot do anything, but people in power, who can make a judgment, who are in the administration are different. Therefore, we need to be careful of it. Certainly, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He gives baraka to those who respect the waqf. He also makes regretful those who think they can hide it, take it and gain something, and spend it and get away with it. May Allah protect us. May Allah not make us take and infringe on anyone’s rights In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
10.THE ETIQUETTE OF A HOUSE GUEST Tuesday, 9 January 2018
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 observe the trust. When someone consigns something to you, it is not yours. It is a trust [for safekeeping]. You cannot give it to anybody without the man’s permission, and you cannot act as you like. So you did a good deed and you were handed a place or something, if someone wants it you need to ask its owner.
“Can I take this?” “Can I give this?” No, if its owner is not around you cannot give it. You cannot give it without permission. However, when taking it you can ask, “Can I appropriate it? Can I take it away?” You cannot let anyone in your house or where you are staying without asking first. And the person who is to enter cannot enter without getting permission.
“Fala tadkhuluha hatta yu’thana lakum.” (Sura Nur:28) The translation of the Holy Verse, “Ask permission to enter a house,” it says. “I got permission, I minded my manners, I needed to go in, but the owner did not let me in. He behaved shamefully.” There is no such thing. The owner of the house has a right; he has a right to not let you in. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Enter if you are permitted. Do not enter if you are not permitted.”
Now they come and say, “Our Holy Prophet used to let in.” No, there are so many verses: “Those who shout and yell from behind the wall are foolish. It would have been better for them if they had been patient and waited with good manners (adab). But Allah is still the forgiver and forgives them.” Nobody is absolutely obliged; nobody is obligated to take anybody in the house. This is Allah’s law. It is not according to our own head: “No, he behaved shamefully. No, it is a sin.” It is not a sin and it is not shameful. People’s circumstances are uncertain, their state in the house is uncertain. They are not obliged to tell anybody either. They are not obliged to say sorry or to make an excuse.
The majzubs (insane) of now do not listen, and you see that they come in the house. That one is a majzoob. Keep the majzoob away from the house anyway. Do not sit much with the majzoob. They are out of their wits (divaneh). That is how Allah created them. Treat them with kindness but do not give heed. When you give heed you complain afterwards.
Because, as we said, they are foolish. Allah is the forgiver and He forgives them, but your house would be ruined and its order would turn upside down.
Therefore, there is no shame in religion. You will say the truth and will not be embarrassed. Everything has a method and an etiquette. We need to say it. Religion is not according to your own head. We need to pay attention to this. As we said, if one is to come to your home, it has its manners and methods: is he welcome or not? Because homes of this day and age are like that, unlike homes of old times. There is no separate place for men and women to sit separately, and you immediately enter inside the home. There is the family and what not, so you need to be careful whether you are welcome or not.
I am saying this here: the clever and the foolish ones do not listen to this, they come and bear at the door, and they put you in a tough position. Firstly, it makes you embarrassed, “What am I going to do now? I have guests over but the home is inappropriate.” This, as we said, is a very important matter and we need to pay attention to it. “Where would it be appropriate? Where would I be welcome?” You need to ask and come accordingly. May Allah give us all sense and intelligence. May He give us adab In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
11.DO NOT DISPLAY YOUR SINS Wednesday, 10 January 2018
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 not make anybody contemptible, may He not make us lose face, and may He not put us to shame. Being ashamed is a tough thing. That is why Allah Azza wa Jalla covers with His attribute of Settar (Coverer). He covers the faults and flaws of people. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He states, “When you commit a sin, a mistake, ‘fastatiru’, cover yourselves, and do not display it. Allah would forgive it and nobody would know about it.”
Can there be a better glad tiding than this? There cannot be. However, son of man comes up and tells people the stupid things he did. They also have a wrong expression, “Why should I hide from the servant what Allah knows,” they say. Allah tells you, “Hide it so you do not become contemptible, so you are not ashamed, and I will forgive you. Nobody will know about it.” You come up and make display of it. People of these times do it more. There is great wisdom in this [not displaying], because when you do something, others also want to do it in the same way saying, “Me too.” You would be encouraging others to this sin, to this mistake.
You would be increasing the number of sinners like yourself. You are increasing sins, and you are ruining them with what you did. That is why sin is a fond.
“Ithabtuleetum bilma’asy fastatiru.” Sinning is not a good thing. It is trouble. If you get involved in this trouble, cover it up so Allah would remove that fault from you. That trouble gets bigger if you say, “No, I do it and I insist on telling everybody.” It is trouble. Trouble is not a good thing. It is a bad thing. Then people never see their own sins and ask, “What did I do? Why are such things happening to me?”
Certainly you have fault and you have sins, and so you are sustaining such trouble. Therefore, what Allah Azza wa Jalla says is beautiful. When you make a mistake in this world they question you, “Come here. What did you do?” and they punish you. Even if you hide it, they still condemn you with that punishment. However, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He says, “Do not tell! Cover it and I will forgive you.”
However, as we said, Shaitan deceives people and displays the dirt and mistakes they make. So they would be harming themselves by themselves, and become deserving of torment and hell. May Allah protect us. May Allah cover us all. We all have sins, faults, and flaws. May Allah Azza wa Jalla cover us with His attribute of Settar, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
12.A HALF-QUALIFIED IMAM MAKES ONE LOOSE RELIGION
Thursday, 11 January 2018
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 in a hadith, “Answer the things you know. If there is something you do not know, look at it. If there is an answer, you can take it and tell about it. If not, if you do not know, ask me,” he used to say to our holy companions (sahaba). Because he had sent Muaz bin Jabal to Yemen as a governor. A huge sahabi. Those sahabis are mujtahids (lawmakers). They understand and know very well what our Holy Prophet says. Even they do not know some things and he tells them to ask.
People of this day and age sometimes interfere in the things they know and they do not know. Not just answering questions, but they make sohbas to people based on themselves. They fly high and confuse people’s minds. Just because people like it, without thinking they tell people of what they heard hearsay. When some of them hear it, they think it is real and are happy to hear about it. Most of them know it is not true and run away. You are making people who come for the sake of Allah escape from the path of Allah. The burden of sin is upon those who make such talk.
They say, “We heard this from Muhyiddin ibn Arabi.” You need to study for thirty years in order to understand him. Just because you open a book, does it mean you understand? No, it does not. You cannot understand it. Certainly, you have to stay next to a shaykh, and you have to stay next to a scholar. You have to stay next to a true scholar to understand from a book. It is especially difficult to understand the books of such persons. Their intent is Allah. Your intent is to refer to a person what he calls Allah. That is why it does not become beneficial for people. It becomes harmful. His intent is purely and sincerely for Allah.
Shaykh Mawlana is the same way. Some say, “Shaykh Mawlana said so.” You do not understand him much. Look at what you understand. You need lots of time to understand the things you do not understand. There is no need for that. Explain the things people will understand, and do not interfere in things they will not understand. Our Holy Prophet tells great sahabis, “Ask if there are things you do not understand.” So we need to be careful. What have our ancestors said? The saying goes: “A half-
qualified doctor makes one loose life; a half-qualified imam makes one lose religion.” These are great and beautiful words. We need to be careful and be people of wisdom. What is important is giving people what they need. So there is no need to give them what they do not need. May Allah give us all wisdom and understanding In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
13.THE SYSTEM OF DISBELIEF WILL END SOON
Friday, 12 January 2018
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 gave us the best of blessings (nima). Allah Exalted and Glorious be He gave the blessing of faith. We need to recognize its value. Allah Azza wa Jalla says in the Koran, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
“Wa ma aktharun nasi walaw harasta bimu’mineen.” (Sura Yusuf:103) “And most people, although you strive for it and wish for it, do not have faith, are not believers.” That is why it is the minority. They call it the privileged few now. Thank Allah people with faith are the privileged few. There is no good in the multitude. Many verses praise the minorities.
“Wa qaleelun min ‘ibadiyash-shakur.” (Sura Saba:13) “The thankful are few, the minority.” Therefore, being the few is a specialty. What people now call the privileged few are not those with lots of money as they are not happy. There were wheel horses in the past which they would tie to a well. It would go round and round and round, stay in the same place, and bring out water. What they call the privileged few is the same way.
They have no happiness. Being happy is being with Allah and staying away from Shaitan. What does Shaitan promise people? Shaitan promises people evil, he promises dishonor, he promises baseness, he promises all kinds of evil, and in the end he promises hell. “I will put you to shame, I will make you unhappy, and in the end you will come to hell with me,” he says. People who pretend to be clever are rushing there and most people are running after him.
What is Allah Azza wa Jalla promising? He promises goodness, He promises beauty, He promises tranquility, He promises happiness, and in the end He promises paradise. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He promises eternal happiness and eternal felicity. However, those who go to Him are few. They are all going after Shaitan. He fooled people in such a way that, apart from unbelievers (kafirs), there are plenty of Muslims who are going after him. There are plenty who are following their ego. There are plenty who are pursuing Shaitan.
Shaitan would not be comfortable even if there was one last person left with faith. He insists on sticking him in hell. We see the condition of the Islamic world. Shaitan is happy but he also wants to finish the rest. Those who are with and following Shaitan are the same way saying, “We will not leave Islam. We do not want Muslims. We will not leave a Muslim in the world.” This is not a current issue. It started all the way in the time of our Holy Prophet. Our Holy Prophet is the enemy of Shaitan, and that is why being with Shaitan is enmity towards our Holy Prophet. And those who do not respect our Holy Prophet are friends of Shaitan.
Respecting our Holy Prophet is obligatory (fard) and necessary (wajib). People who say there is no need to respect him are pretending to be Muslims, but unfortunately when they are not friends of the Prophet they become friends of Shaitan. They want to divide and finish Islam, but Allah Azza wa Jalla will complete His light. He has promised it. It is a word, a promise of Allah for us. The light of Islam will be completed. What we mean by being completed is it will spread all over the world in End Times, and however many people there are they will all become Muslim. Let Shaitan and those with him eat their heart out.
What Allah says happens and what they say does not happen. They can be as stubborn as they like and they can oppose it as much as they want. What Allah says will happen. These are very dark times. The whole world of unbelief (kufr) is pressing against Islam and are saying they are nearly finished with Islam, but Allah is the owner of Islam and Allah willing they cannot finish it. Islam is Allah’s religion and they are unable to do it. It is their time but Allah gave everything a grace period. He gives people time so they get what they deserve. Punishment will come from Allah, and when the time comes they will have deserved that punishment. They also deserve it now, but so as not to leave any excuse for people Allah gives a grace period. Little or big, they will absolutely go against whatever command there is and every command of Allah and do the opposite and say the opposite. They want to convict and do away with whoever does not accept them.
Therefore, Muslims should not be sad. In the end Allah will be victorious over them and not even a single one of them will be left. Allah’s soldiers, Allah’s armies are plenty. We read the hadith of our Holy Prophet the other day. He says, “Do not curse locusts. They are armies of Allah.” So when speaking of an army, let them not insist on doing things themselves. Allah defeated Nimrod’s army with the smallest mosquito. Everything is possible when Allah wills it. Therefore, let our faith be strong. Our weapon is our faith.
They say, “We would not have been like this if it were not for such person.” You would have. They would have done worse. Disbelief has no indulgence. Whoever it may be who comes to power, they will not leave you before they do away with you as long as you say, “La Ilaha Illallah.” Therefore, what Muslims need to do now is to be one and
not be deceived by kufr and Shaitan. In hell, Shaitan will tell those who go to hell with him, “You suffer!” When they say, “You made us come here. What are we going to do now?” He will say, “I fear Allah. You should not have. You should not have been fooled.” The final regret is of no use.
Therefore, the people of disbelief are understandable, but Muslims should not be fooled by kufr and should not rebel against anybody. A Muslim is a Muslim’s brother, he is with him, and should not believe the enemy. Even though it is clear as day, even though kufr is attacking Islam, still people fall for it and are fooled. They say, “We are educated, we finished university,” but they are learning nothing but ignorance. There are old and unnecessary theories as, “How to revolt against the bourgeois above you.” As we said, old, two hundred-year-old things have all been done and tried, and they have become rubbish and thrown away. Even after it has been experienced for a hundred years to be useless, even though it is nothing but making it a terrible world, people are still falling for it.
Do not fall for it! Obey Allah and mind your own business. Allah gave everyone a job so they may busy themselves with it and engage in it. Let the shepherd be a shepherd, the guard be a guard, the laborer be a laborer, the tailor be a tailor, and the teacher teach the children. Not everyone can run the country. Allah created everyone a certain class. They can be successful by doing their job, but it does not work if they interfere in other things. Here, the world system, the disbelief system is working it up. It does not let people do what they know and insists on educating them. It will instill those bad ideas into people’s minds. It will say, “Rebel. Do not listen. Do not do. You are it.”
This man goes to school, if it were like schools of old, he would not be able to pass his class in three years. They make them pass without educating now. They are saying, “There is no failing. Pass my son.” Why do they let them pass? Because they will make them get higher education. He gets accepted in university. “No, they accept very few people there.” The man takes a test there and cannot pass. So how did you accept this man? “No, you will accept him.” Let him also waste the state’s and people’s money there and finish in ten years. Then let him not do anything and say, “I am educated and can do any job I want.”
This is how the system is, yet people have fault and the system has fault as well. The stranger unbeliever does not make them get higher education. There is no mercy. You will study if you know. If you do not know, there is vocational school for you. Learn and work. No, we do not have that. There are 15-20 subjects and millions of people. They will all study the same thing and nothing else. As we said, the system is broken. So it is the system that corrupts and ruins Muslim children and makes them hang around uselessly. It needs to change. It is also a product of this kufr. We need to pay attention to it too.
So we have to say the truth here in every way. If we do not, the fault remains with the people. The fault is not only with the people. The system is at fault too. Leave these people be. Let the children collect hazelnuts and tea. Children can do it. People would become men at 15 years of age in the past. They would get married at 15. Now if they attempt to get married at 15, they throw the child in jail. The 12-year-old child is doing all kinds of filth and there is nothing wrong with it. If he attempts to get married by Allah’s command and the Prophet’s word at age 15, they throw him in jail. They throw their family and him in jail. As I said, this is totally the system of kufr. May Allah forgive them.
However, as we said, there will nothing left as the system of kufr. When Allah’s order comes, there will be no kufr left around, and the whole world will change to Islam Inshallah. Inshallah it is near because it is the end of time now and everything has an end. It is the end of these times and Doomsday is near. Mahdi Alayhis Salam needs to come out so Allah’s command is completed. Inshallah it is near. May we reach that time too Inshallah. May we be granted to see this light completed In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
14.RECITE MORE SALAWAT ON FRIDAYS Friday, 12 January 2018
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.
“Recite more salat and salam on me on Fridays.” You can do it on normal days too but Fridays are more virtuous. It is the order of our Holy Prophet. He has said this for our own good, so we may benefit, so we may gain rewards, and for “qurbiyat” meaning so we can be closer to Allah.
Our Holy Prophet wants beautiful things for his Nation and he thinks about his Nation. Ever since he was born, he said, “Ummati, ummati.” And he will rise from the grave on the Day of Judgment saying, “My Nation,” to intercede on behalf of them. To recite salat and salam on our Holy Prophet is a means for salvation, a means for baraka (blessings), and a means for goodness.
Our Holy Prophet always wants good for us. It is for our own benefit, and he does not ask for anything in return. Do good and be saved. Love our Holy Prophet and be saved. A person is saved with affection. Show respect and Allah again forgives you, He purifies you of your sins, and you are granted high stations and paradise. If not, otherwise if you do not show respect and say, “What I do by myself is enough,” then you cannot become anything. Allah forbid, you would perish away.
Today is Friday and we need to recite more salat and salam. It is also like this in our duties. It is 500 if you are reciting 300, and it is 300 if you are reciting 100 salawat. Do as much as you can. There is permission for this. Because it is the order of the Prophet. The amount is not important, but do not forget to recite more salawat on Fridays. May Allah accept it, and may we be granted the intercession (sahafa’at) of our Holy Prophet (SAW). May his affection fill our heart.
When his affection fills our heart, it is the same with Allah’s affection. The one who loves the Prophet loves Allah. The one who loves someone else, who loves other unnecessary people are not granted anything. Our Holy Prophet is the most important. There is none else in this world who is a savior or an intercessor. When sayinng intercessor, of course all of those who are on the way of our Holy Prophet are the same, they are important,
but we are saying it in terms of this world. Those who do not respect and do not go on the path of our Holy Prophet, then their affection is no use.
The affection of those who are on the way of our Holy Prophet is made to reach the Prophet. Our hearts would fill with his affection and it would benefit us. If not, if it is full of worldly love then it is no use. May Allah fill our hearts with the affection of our Holy Prophet In Sha Allah. May we be granted his shafa’at, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
15.THOSE WHO ARE DEPRIVED FROM SHAFA’AT Saturday, 13 January 2018
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.
Son of man certainly needs to learn from someone. Allah Azza wa Jalla taught Adam Alayhis Salam.
“Wa ‘allama adamal asma’a kullaha.” (Sura Baqara:31) He taught everything to our father Adam, and he in turn taught his children. Then they taught those who came later and it continued like this. Son of man needs someone to teach him until the Day of Judgment.
Knowledge is obligatory (fard). Learning is obligatory on every Muslim. It is not “fard kifaya”, it is “fard ayn”. What is meant by fard kifaya is if someone learns it, the obligation is dropped on the rest. However, what is meant by ayn is you yourself need to learn. We need to continuously be with this intention since we are learning knowledge and are fulfilling Allah’s command. You need to learn from good people so that you do not toil for nothing, and in the end you will not have gained good but gained evil and be at loss.
There are religious sciences and technical sciences. Religious sciences are more important. We need to learn them from those who know it well. Because there are people who newly came out, who say they are learning but they are not learning. They are becoming more ignorant. There are those called ignorant and then there are the utterly ignorant. Who is the utterly ignorant? Those who study and get more ignorant are the utterly ignorant. The person who is far from the Prophet and who does not respect the Prophet - there, he is the utterly ignorant. There are a few in these times. May Allah guide them too so such people would finish. Because they are rowing in vain. It has no use. It is nothing but loss.
Thank Allah, millions of scholars appeared all the way since our Holy Prophet and they have millions of works. They have all left works which show the sunna of our Holy Prophet, which take his orders and explain and clarify them along with the obligations. They have reached until now. And now, as we said, the utterly ignorant who do not like
them have come out, and they say they want to do something new. Doing a new thing – this is not a story book for you to do something new.
Those who can do that need to be sincere worshippers with taqwa (fear of Allah). It is hard to find such people in these times. There are people who do not show respect, who write books according to their own heads, and who do not teach people the right path but the evil path. Because those scholars would not step on the ground without ablution. These ones, saving your presence, walk around janabat (unclean, without ghusl).
Therefore, people should not be fooled by them. They should not even listen to them. Let them talk to themselves. It is possible for them to come if Allah gives them sense and intelligence. Otherwise, they would be punished. Their punishment is being deprived from the intercession (shafa’at) of our Holy Prophet. They do not accept him [as an intercessor] anyway. This is the greatest punishment.
Nobody can be saved by their own deeds. This is the summary of the matter. There have been none who were saved by their own deeds. Because even the awliya (saints) constantly weep saying they were not able to do anything and are in need of shafa’at. It says even the prophets are in need of the intercession of our Holy Prophet. May Allah grant us all that intercession In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
16.ALLAH LIKES TO FORGIVE Sunday, 14 January 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is having mercy on son of man, and son of man is not having mercy on himself. Son of man continuously commits sins and mistakes. Son of man is shortcoming. He is always having a fault and committing sin. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He due to His mercy says to repent and ask for forgiveness. Allah is the one who accepts repentance and the asking for forgiveness. There is no person who does not have a sin. However, Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “You are not tired of sin, and I am not tired of forgiving you.” Our Holy Prophet says, “Repent at least 70 times a day.” You can do it as: “Astaghfirullah, tawba Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah al-Azim.” You can also say, “Tawba Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah al-Azim.” Our Holy Prophet tells the companions, “70 years of sins are forgiven for those who do this,” and a sahabi says, “I do not have that much.” “If you don’t have, then by saying Astaghfirullah, Allah forgives your fat

d the punishment is Inshallah near. Allah’s help is with Islam.
They can have as much weapons as they want, they can have as much money as they want, and even if the whole world is theirs Allah is with Muslims, with faithful people, and those who are on the right path; not with those who claim to be Muslim in name only and stab Muslims in the back. Those who claim to be Muslim and do all kinds of evil are people who have nothing to do with Islam. When Mahdi Alayhis Salam appears they will also get punished Allah willing. Fitnas increase more as the time nears. Therefore, never be sad or have fear when a fitna occurs. Be patient and you will see that Allah’s promise is true.
Not like these people who twerk. Allah’s promise and word is true. It will happen. Our Holy Prophet is “Sadiqul Wa’dil Ameen” and his word is also true. He said, “There will come a person from my progeny in End Times following those fitnas.” Mahdi Alayhis Salam will fill the whole world with goodness, justice, and beauty. It is full of filth and perversion now, and they have made perversion a crown. Of course, it is Shaitan’s work because a Muslim does everything but does not do that perversion and is not disgraced. That is why they made it the top subject now. The whole of this land of unbelievers (kafirs) and unbelief (kufr) is speaking about this matter.
None of them will be left when Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrives. Unbelief will not be left and all will be Muslim. Those who do not become Muslims can suit themselves. They will go to the hereafter and they will be questioned in the hereafter. So there is no such thing as, “I am dead and I am saved.” They will be in eternal hell in the hereafter. We hear something new every day. Of course we are displeased, but there is the promise of Allah. He says in the Koran, “Allah helps those who believe, He defends them, and He gives a lesson to those who attack them.”
May Allah make us amongst the good ones and keep us far from the bad ones. May we stay away Inshallah. Let us be respectful towards our ancestors and not lend an ear to the words of every pervert. Even the poorest of us now lives in ten times more luxury than our ancestors did. Even the poorest person is like this. Our ancestors spent a lifetime with one jacket. Now you give it to the poor and if it is a little old they throw it in the garbage. We see it at the soup kitchen. When they take something old, old clothes, they throw it away by the time they reach the road down the street. We then collect it from the street.
It is not our place to say bad words about our ancestors. You will remember them with mercy and ask Allah forgiveness for them. We are still living with their blessings, with their honor, and with their karamat (miraculous deeds) in the sight of Allah. They are Allah’s beloved people. We are living in this comfort out of respect to them. That is why Allah is defending them. We also need to defend them as much as we can. We need to tell our children of the sacrifices they made, since children now only know about worthless games in their hand and nothing else. We need to tell them.
Inshallah these generations are preserved for their sake. Devils are plenty and they are poisoning the children. Those things they poison will be poison for them too. Those who are busy with those works and who do those works, Allah will certainly cause them suffering. Because people’s children are their most beloved and their lifeblood. If they are harmed, with their sigh (curse) you cannot be saved even if you pay ten times the money you made from it. May Allah keep us safe from the evils of these times. May Allah make us reach Mahdi Alayhis Salam as soon as possible. Therefore, constantly make dua for Shaykh Mawlana and may Mahdi Alayhis Salam arrive as soon as possible In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
5.THE SAVED FACTION Wednesday, 27 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.
Allah Azza wa Jalla referred us to the right path, glory be to Him, thanks be to Him. Our Holy Prophet has said, “In End Times, my Nation will divide into 73 factions. They are all at loss and one will be saved.” The companions (sahaba) asked, “With so many factions, who should we be with? He said, “With the majority.”
The majority is, thank Allah, the faction we are in and which our tariqa is in. It is the faction that is going on the path of our Holy Prophet, and which loves and respects his Ahl-e Bayt (Family of the Prophet) and his sahaba. They found everything with them. Our Holy Prophet’s words, hadiths, show this. “That is the saved faction,” says our Holy Prophet (SAW). If you look at the world, the majority of Muslims are in it. Even if they are silent, they are the majority. You would think the ones who are vocal, who yell and scream, are plenty of people but they are not. They are not acceptable. Allah orders in the Glorious Koran (Quran- e Azimush-sha’n): “Do not shout too much!” He tells not to raise our voice over the voice of our Holy Prophet. They are unmannered people. You think they are a lot, but the real majority is people who are on the path of our Holy Prophet.
Thanks be to Allah. Our Holy Prophet states in his hadith sharif, “This faction will remain until the Day of Judgment and victory is with them. Even if they look defeated sometimes, they are the majority. Be with them. Do not be with others so you are not at loss, and so your hereafter would not be at loss.” We need patience in this world. Do not deviate from the right path even if you suffer pain. The Naqshbandi tariqa shows this path best. Other tariqas show it too. This is not a path to deviate from. It is a beautiful path. But may Allah not deviate us, some people do deviate from the path. There are people in some places who have not heard of it, and they happily join this path when they hear of it. May Allah grant them all this guidance. May He also make us and those on this path awake, so they are not fooled by anyone and are not effected by what anyone says. We are on the right path; thanks be to Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
6.THE EGO IS A TEST OF SON OF MAN Friday, 29 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.
Allah Azza wa Jalla placed the ego as a test for son of man; there is Shaitan and there is this world (dunya). Everything around is a test for son of man. Some people think when they do a certain thing they will not commit sin any longer, and the ego and Shaitan will stay away from them. There is no such thing.
Only our Holy Prophet’s ego and his shaitan became Muslim. Our Holy Prophet’s devil became Muslim and he is considered a companion (sahabi) from then on. However, son of man needs to struggle against them and keep them distant until he dies. He has to follow the commands of Allah and not follow them.
He says, “I went to hajj. All my sins are over. It is set now on.” No, Shaitan picks on you more following hajj to fill you with sins again. “I made itikaf (staying in the mosque) and the sins are gone. I did such good deed and they are gone...” Do not think your ego dies. It does not die! It is constantly with you until your death. You need to be in a state of war with it so your station would rise. And this is a wisdom of Allah. The more you do not abide by it, the more rewards you gain and your station rises. This is its benefit.
Angles do not have an ego and a shaitan. Allah created them like that, but if son of man does not follow his ego he becomes higher than them. If he follows his ego, of course he becomes the lowest. It is called “Asfala safileen”. He becomes the lowest, most degraded creature that time. May Allah not make us abide by our ego. May we always be victorious over our ego In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
7.THE GREATEST OPPRESSION Saturday, 30 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.
“Yaf’alu ma yureed.” (Sura Hajj:14) He says, “Allah Azza wa Jalla does what He wills.” If Allah wants, He can make the sun appear in the middle of winter and make it hotter than summer. Nothing is difficult for Him. He is the creator. He does everything. Son of man either associates partners with Him (commits shirk), or never recognizes Him and commits sin by saying, “It is nature.”
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He, He is the creator. That is why there are lots of disasters and calamities these times. It is happening so son of man would come to his senses, but son of man still does not accept. Allah does not care about those who do not care about Him. Allah is not merciful on those who do not believe in Him because they are oppressing. He says, “The greatest oppression is the one done against Allah.” Because Allah provided everything. He is the one who granted us with all kinds of blessings (nima). Those who do not accept become ungrateful and oppressive then. Troubles never cease from those oppressors, they become anxious, and are never given peace of mind.
Therefore, our Holy Prophet has said about End Times, “Rain would rain as calamity, and children would be given as trouble.” Meaning this is what would happen to those who do not obey Allah. That is why if you want your family and your children to be good, obey Allah so your children would be beneficial to you. When bringing children would not be beneficial, our Holy Prophet has said, “It is better to look after a dog than feed a child in End Times.” Ma’athAllah (Allah forbid), may Allah protect us. You can really see it. Therefore, may Allah give us all guidance, and may we not be separated from Him even for an instant Inshallah. May we always be with Allah. May Allah’s zikr, may Allah’s name, not be erased from our heart. The person who falls into heedlessness falls into calamity, Allah forbid. May Allah give these people guidance. May He protect these Islamic countries from the evils of Shaitan and from human shaitans (devils) In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
8.STAY AWAY FROM DISSENSION (FITNA) Wednesday, 3 January 2018
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.
These days we are living in are End Times, times of dissension (fitna). It says to stay away from dissension. Dissension is cursed. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Fitna is asleep. Cursed be the one who awakens it.” There is fitna for some time now since it is End Times, but you are not obliged to get involved in that fitna and help it out more. It says, “Do not harm anybody so nobody would harm you.”
“La darara wala dirar” is a Muslim’s basic law. This is what our Holy Prophet says. Who is the cause of dissension? It is Shaitan. Shaitan wants to cause fitna, to ruin everywhere, and show the good things done as bad. Therefore, what our Holy Prophet says is to never get involved in any fitna knowingly or unknowingly! Be careful that they do not use you and cause fitna. You need to be careful of this. Do not make yourself a target of curse by anybody’s words.
It says a Muslim is the one who does not harm a Muslim. It is he who goes in peace and comes in peace, and provides goodness to his surroundings. The hypocrite or foolish person immediately jumps in the fitna. Supposedly it will benefit him. It will not. Nothing but harm comes out of fitna. Therefore, may Allah keep it away from us. If people were alert there would be no fitna anyway, but their faith is weak, they expect everything from the other person, and they have forgotten about Allah. Both good and bad are from Allah. If you are poor, you will ask Allah so He would provide you your sustenance. You cannot gain anything by going about harming others and causing fitna. That person never gains and nothing but harm befalls him. As we said, these are End Times, times of fitna. Be careful! Stay away from fitna. Run away from fitna! Do not be embarrassed to think, “I did not get involved and do anything...” There is nothing to be embarrassed about because you are obeying Allah’s command and not harming anybody. Fitna is to harm Muslims and to harm people and it is cursed. May Allah protect us from the fitnas of these End Times. Allah would protect those who do not get involved in fitna anyway.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
9.THE IMPORTANCE OF FOUNDATIONS/TRUSTS Monday, 8 January 2018
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.
Thank Allah we went and came back safe and sound. Egypt is a holy place. The first mosques of Africa were built there. There are thousands of maqams, maqams of sahaba (companions). In addition, there are maqams of the Ahl-e Bayt (Family of the Prophet). The holy head of our master Hussain is there. His sister, children, cousins, and grandchildren are all there. They are holy places to visit, and of course the people there respect them. For their baraka (blessing), Allah gave that big country baraka and a hundred million people live there.
When they respected them and showed due respect, Allah gave blessings and beauty. There was no poverty. Egypt was the world’s wealthiest country, but when they threw away a king, they took over the people’s money. They tyrannized and did not do good afterwards. More importantly, the waqf (religious foundation), the Department of Awqaf had hundreds of thousands or hundreds of millions of acres of land. They took it all too, they usurped it. When this was the case Allah did not make it turn good. Allah Azza wa Jalla gave everything, but when there was such disrespect...
Mashallah, the locals are pleasant. Their respect is very pleasant. The ones who came later, those who came after the king, in order to collect money took over the posessions of these waqfs and distributed it to the people. When they were distributed to the people, since these foundations have conditions and the owner of the waqf writes that those who do not abide by the conditions are cursed. The owner assigned it as a trust so it would be of use to Muslims until the Day of Judgment. Trusts were established to look after mosques, the tombs there, and so they would be maintained and repaired without being in need of anyone, without being in need of the government. They seized those trusts.
This is the case everywhere, but it was more there so that nothing was left. Tombs and mosques are very neglected. When in fact if they were repaired, lots of people would come and visit them. It will benefit them both materially and spiritually. However, Shaitan is an enemy of the people. He picks on wherever a benefit or reward might come to people, he wants to make away with it, and by removing it he wants curses to rain on people.
The waqf is important. People need to be careful of the possessions of the waqf. It would make you regret it if you even took a penny. Therefore - we have examples in front of us - we need to be careful of waqfs. They are things people have assigned as a trust until Judgment Day. People in charge need to be more careful since it is their responsibility. Regular people cannot do anything, but people in power, who can make a judgment, who are in the administration are different. Therefore, we need to be careful of it. Certainly, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He gives baraka to those who respect the waqf. He also makes regretful those who think they can hide it, take it and gain something, and spend it and get away with it. May Allah protect us. May Allah not make us take and infringe on anyone’s rights In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
10.THE ETIQUETTE OF A HOUSE GUEST Tuesday, 9 January 2018
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 observe the trust. When someone consigns something to you, it is not yours. It is a trust [for safekeeping]. You cannot give it to anybody without the man’s permission, and you cannot act as you like. So you did a good deed and you were handed a place or something, if someone wants it you need to ask its owner.
“Can I take this?” “Can I give this?” No, if its owner is not around you cannot give it. You cannot give it without permission. However, when taking it you can ask, “Can I appropriate it? Can I take it away?” You cannot let anyone in your house or where you are staying without asking first. And the person who is to enter cannot enter without getting permission.
“Fala tadkhuluha hatta yu’thana lakum.” (Sura Nur:28) The translation of the Holy Verse, “Ask permission to enter a house,” it says. “I got permission, I minded my manners, I needed to go in, but the owner did not let me in. He behaved shamefully.” There is no such thing. The owner of the house has a right; he has a right to not let you in. Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “Enter if you are permitted. Do not enter if you are not permitted.”
Now they come and say, “Our Holy Prophet used to let in.” No, there are so many verses: “Those who shout and yell from behind the wall are foolish. It would have been better for them if they had been patient and waited with good manners (adab). But Allah is still the forgiver and forgives them.” Nobody is absolutely obliged; nobody is obligated to take anybody in the house. This is Allah’s law. It is not according to our own head: “No, he behaved shamefully. No, it is a sin.” It is not a sin and it is not shameful. People’s circumstances are uncertain, their state in the house is uncertain. They are not obliged to tell anybody either. They are not obliged to say sorry or to make an excuse.
The majzubs (insane) of now do not listen, and you see that they come in the house. That one is a majzoob. Keep the majzoob away from the house anyway. Do not sit much with the majzoob. They are out of their wits (divaneh). That is how Allah created them. Treat them with kindness but do not give heed. When you give heed you complain afterwards.
Because, as we said, they are foolish. Allah is the forgiver and He forgives them, but your house would be ruined and its order would turn upside down.
Therefore, there is no shame in religion. You will say the truth and will not be embarrassed. Everything has a method and an etiquette. We need to say it. Religion is not according to your own head. We need to pay attention to this. As we said, if one is to come to your home, it has its manners and methods: is he welcome or not? Because homes of this day and age are like that, unlike homes of old times. There is no separate place for men and women to sit separately, and you immediately enter inside the home. There is the family and what not, so you need to be careful whether you are welcome or not.
I am saying this here: the clever and the foolish ones do not listen to this, they come and bear at the door, and they put you in a tough position. Firstly, it makes you embarrassed, “What am I going to do now? I have guests over but the home is inappropriate.” This, as we said, is a very important matter and we need to pay attention to it. “Where would it be appropriate? Where would I be welcome?” You need to ask and come accordingly. May Allah give us all sense and intelligence. May He give us adab In Sha Allah.

11.DO NOT DISPLAY YOUR SINS Wednesday, 10 January 2018
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 not make anybody contemptible, may He not make us lose face, and may He not put us to shame. Being ashamed is a tough thing. That is why Allah Azza wa Jalla covers with His attribute of Settar (Coverer). He covers the faults and flaws of people. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He states, “When you commit a sin, a mistake, ‘fastatiru’, cover yourselves, and do not display it. Allah would forgive it and nobody would know about it.”
Can there be a better glad tiding than this? There cannot be. However, son of man comes up and tells people the stupid things he did. They also have a wrong expression, “Why should I hide from the servant what Allah knows,” they say. Allah tells you, “Hide it so you do not become contemptible, so you are not ashamed, and I will forgive you. Nobody will know about it.” You come up and make display of it. People of these times do it more. There is great wisdom in this [not displaying], because when you do something, others also want to do it in the same way saying, “Me too.” You would be encouraging others to this sin, to this mistake.
You would be increasing the number of sinners like yourself. You are increasing sins, and you are ruining them with what you did. That is why sin is a fond.
“Ithabtuleetum bilma’asy fastatiru.” Sinning is not a good thing. It is trouble. If you get involved in this trouble, cover it up so Allah would remove that fault from you. That trouble gets bigger if you say, “No, I do it and I insist on telling everybody.” It is trouble. Trouble is not a good thing. It is a bad thing. Then people never see their own sins and ask, “What did I do? Why are such things happening to me?”
Certainly you have fault and you have sins, and so you are sustaining such trouble. Therefore, what Allah Azza wa Jalla says is beautiful. When you make a mistake in this world they question you, “Come here. What did you do?” and they punish you. Even if you hide it, they still condemn you with that punishment. However, Allah Exalted and Glorious be He says, “Do not tell! Cover it and I will forgive you.”
However, as we said, Shaitan deceives people and displays the dirt and mistakes they make. So they would be harming themselves by themselves, and become deserving of torment and hell. May Allah protect us. May Allah cover us all. We all have sins, faults, and flaws. May Allah Azza wa Jalla cover us with His attribute of Settar, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
12.A HALF-QUALIFIED IMAM MAKES ONE LOOSE RELIGION
Thursday, 11 January 2018
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 in a hadith, “Answer the things you know. If there is something you do not know, look at it. If there is an answer, you can take it and tell about it. If not, if you do not know, ask me,” he used to say to our holy companions (sahaba). Because he had sent Muaz bin Jabal to Yemen as a governor. A huge sahabi. Those sahabis are mujtahids (lawmakers). They understand and know very well what our Holy Prophet says. Even they do not know some things and he tells them to ask.
People of this day and age sometimes interfere in the things they know and they do not know. Not just answering questions, but they make sohbas to people based on themselves. They fly high and confuse people’s minds. Just because people like it, without thinking they tell people of what they heard hearsay. When some of them hear it, they think it is real and are happy to hear about it. Most of them know it is not true and run away. You are making people who come for the sake of Allah escape from the path of Allah. The burden of sin is upon those who make such talk.
They say, “We heard this from Muhyiddin ibn Arabi.” You need to study for thirty years in order to understand him. Just because you open a book, does it mean you understand? No, it does not. You cannot understand it. Certainly, you have to stay next to a shaykh, and you have to stay next to a scholar. You have to stay next to a true scholar to understand from a book. It is especially difficult to understand the books of such persons. Their intent is Allah. Your intent is to refer to a person what he calls Allah. That is why it does not become beneficial for people. It becomes harmful. His intent is purely and sincerely for Allah.
Shaykh Mawlana is the same way. Some say, “Shaykh Mawlana said so.” You do not understand him much. Look at what you understand. You need lots of time to understand the things you do not understand. There is no need for that. Explain the things people will understand, and do not interfere in things they will not understand. Our Holy Prophet tells great sahabis, “Ask if there are things you do not understand.” So we need to be careful. What have our ancestors said? The saying goes: “A half-
qualified doctor makes one loose life; a half-qualified imam makes one lose religion.” These are great and beautiful words. We need to be careful and be people of wisdom. What is important is giving people what they need. So there is no need to give them what they do not need. May Allah give us all wisdom and understanding In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
13.THE SYSTEM OF DISBELIEF WILL END SOON
Friday, 12 January 2018
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 gave us the best of blessings (nima). Allah Exalted and Glorious be He gave the blessing of faith. We need to recognize its value. Allah Azza wa Jalla says in the Koran, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
“Wa ma aktharun nasi walaw harasta bimu’mineen.” (Sura Yusuf:103) “And most people, although you strive for it and wish for it, do not have faith, are not believers.” That is why it is the minority. They call it the privileged few now. Thank Allah people with faith are the privileged few. There is no good in the multitude. Many verses praise the minorities.
“Wa qaleelun min ‘ibadiyash-shakur.” (Sura Saba:13) “The thankful are few, the minority.” Therefore, being the few is a specialty. What people now call the privileged few are not those with lots of money as they are not happy. There were wheel horses in the past which they would tie to a well. It would go round and round and round, stay in the same place, and bring out water. What they call the privileged few is the same way.
They have no happiness. Being happy is being with Allah and staying away from Shaitan. What does Shaitan promise people? Shaitan promises people evil, he promises dishonor, he promises baseness, he promises all kinds of evil, and in the end he promises hell. “I will put you to shame, I will make you unhappy, and in the end you will come to hell with me,” he says. People who pretend to be clever are rushing there and most people are running after him.
What is Allah Azza wa Jalla promising? He promises goodness, He promises beauty, He promises tranquility, He promises happiness, and in the end He promises paradise. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He promises eternal happiness and eternal felicity. However, those who go to Him are few. They are all going after Shaitan. He fooled people in such a way that, apart from unbelievers (kafirs), there are plenty of Muslims who are going after him. There are plenty who are following their ego. There are plenty who are pursuing Shaitan.
Shaitan would not be comfortable even if there was one last person left with faith. He insists on sticking him in hell. We see the condition of the Islamic world. Shaitan is happy but he also wants to finish the rest. Those who are with and following Shaitan are the same way saying, “We will not leave Islam. We do not want Muslims. We will not leave a Muslim in the world.” This is not a current issue. It started all the way in the time of our Holy Prophet. Our Holy Prophet is the enemy of Shaitan, and that is why being with Shaitan is enmity towards our Holy Prophet. And those who do not respect our Holy Prophet are friends of Shaitan.
Respecting our Holy Prophet is obligatory (fard) and necessary (wajib). People who say there is no need to respect him are pretending to be Muslims, but unfortunately when they are not friends of the Prophet they become friends of Shaitan. They want to divide and finish Islam, but Allah Azza wa Jalla will complete His light. He has promised it. It is a word, a promise of Allah for us. The light of Islam will be completed. What we mean by being completed is it will spread all over the world in End Times, and however many people there are they will all become Muslim. Let Shaitan and those with him eat their heart out.
What Allah says happens and what they say does not happen. They can be as stubborn as they like and they can oppose it as much as they want. What Allah says will happen. These are very dark times. The whole world of unbelief (kufr) is pressing against Islam and are saying they are nearly finished with Islam, but Allah is the owner of Islam and Allah willing they cannot finish it. Islam is Allah’s religion and they are unable to do it. It is their time but Allah gave everything a grace period. He gives people time so they get what they deserve. Punishment will come from Allah, and when the time comes they will have deserved that punishment. They also deserve it now, but so as not to leave any excuse for people Allah gives a grace period. Little or big, they will absolutely go against whatever command there is and every command of Allah and do the opposite and say the opposite. They want to convict and do away with whoever does not accept them.
Therefore, Muslims should not be sad. In the end Allah will be victorious over them and not even a single one of them will be left. Allah’s soldiers, Allah’s armies are plenty. We read the hadith of our Holy Prophet the other day. He says, “Do not curse locusts. They are armies of Allah.” So when speaking of an army, let them not insist on doing things themselves. Allah defeated Nimrod’s army with the smallest mosquito. Everything is possible when Allah wills it. Therefore, let our faith be strong. Our weapon is our faith.
They say, “We would not have been like this if it were not for such person.” You would have. They would have done worse. Disbelief has no indulgence. Whoever it may be who comes to power, they will not leave you before they do away with you as long as you say, “La Ilaha Illallah.” Therefore, what Muslims need to do now is to be one and
not be deceived by kufr and Shaitan. In hell, Shaitan will tell those who go to hell with him, “You suffer!” When they say, “You made us come here. What are we going to do now?” He will say, “I fear Allah. You should not have. You should not have been fooled.” The final regret is of no use.
Therefore, the people of disbelief are understandable, but Muslims should not be fooled by kufr and should not rebel against anybody. A Muslim is a Muslim’s brother, he is with him, and should not believe the enemy. Even though it is clear as day, even though kufr is attacking Islam, still people fall for it and are fooled. They say, “We are educated, we finished university,” but they are learning nothing but ignorance. There are old and unnecessary theories as, “How to revolt against the bourgeois above you.” As we said, old, two hundred-year-old things have all been done and tried, and they have become rubbish and thrown away. Even after it has been experienced for a hundred years to be useless, even though it is nothing but making it a terrible world, people are still falling for it.
Do not fall for it! Obey Allah and mind your own business. Allah gave everyone a job so they may busy themselves with it and engage in it. Let the shepherd be a shepherd, the guard be a guard, the laborer be a laborer, the tailor be a tailor, and the teacher teach the children. Not everyone can run the country. Allah created everyone a certain class. They can be successful by doing their job, but it does not work if they interfere in other things. Here, the world system, the disbelief system is working it up. It does not let people do what they know and insists on educating them. It will instill those bad ideas into people’s minds. It will say, “Rebel. Do not listen. Do not do. You are it.”
This man goes to school, if it were like schools of old, he would not be able to pass his class in three years. They make them pass without educating now. They are saying, “There is no failing. Pass my son.” Why do they let them pass? Because they will make them get higher education. He gets accepted in university. “No, they accept very few people there.” The man takes a test there and cannot pass. So how did you accept this man? “No, you will accept him.” Let him also waste the state’s and people’s money there and finish in ten years. Then let him not do anything and say, “I am educated and can do any job I want.”
This is how the system is, yet people have fault and the system has fault as well. The stranger unbeliever does not make them get higher education. There is no mercy. You will study if you know. If you do not know, there is vocational school for you. Learn and work. No, we do not have that. There are 15-20 subjects and millions of people. They will all study the same thing and nothing else. As we said, the system is broken. So it is the system that corrupts and ruins Muslim children and makes them hang around uselessly. It needs to change. It is also a product of this kufr. We need to pay attention to it too.
So we have to say the truth here in every way. If we do not, the fault remains with the people. The fault is not only with the people. The system is at fault too. Leave these people be. Let the children collect hazelnuts and tea. Children can do it. People would become men at 15 years of age in the past. They would get married at 15. Now if they attempt to get married at 15, they throw the child in jail. The 12-year-old child is doing all kinds of filth and there is nothing wrong with it. If he attempts to get married by Allah’s command and the Prophet’s word at age 15, they throw him in jail. They throw their family and him in jail. As I said, this is totally the system of kufr. May Allah forgive them.
However, as we said, there will nothing left as the system of kufr. When Allah’s order comes, there will be no kufr left around, and the whole world will change to Islam Inshallah. Inshallah it is near because it is the end of time now and everything has an end. It is the end of these times and Doomsday is near. Mahdi Alayhis Salam needs to come out so Allah’s command is completed. Inshallah it is near. May we reach that time too Inshallah. May we be granted to see this light completed In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
14.RECITE MORE SALAWAT ON FRIDAYS Friday, 12 January 2018
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.
“Recite more salat and salam on me on Fridays.” You can do it on normal days too but Fridays are more virtuous. It is the order of our Holy Prophet. He has said this for our own good, so we may benefit, so we may gain rewards, and for “qurbiyat” meaning so we can be closer to Allah.
Our Holy Prophet wants beautiful things for his Nation and he thinks about his Nation. Ever since he was born, he said, “Ummati, ummati.” And he will rise from the grave on the Day of Judgment saying, “My Nation,” to intercede on behalf of them. To recite salat and salam on our Holy Prophet is a means for salvation, a means for baraka (blessings), and a means for goodness.
Our Holy Prophet always wants good for us. It is for our own benefit, and he does not ask for anything in return. Do good and be saved. Love our Holy Prophet and be saved. A person is saved with affection. Show respect and Allah again forgives you, He purifies you of your sins, and you are granted high stations and paradise. If not, otherwise if you do not show respect and say, “What I do by myself is enough,” then you cannot become anything. Allah forbid, you would perish away.
Today is Friday and we need to recite more salat and salam. It is also like this in our duties. It is 500 if you are reciting 300, and it is 300 if you are reciting 100 salawat. Do as much as you can. There is permission for this. Because it is the order of the Prophet. The amount is not important, but do not forget to recite more salawat on Fridays. May Allah accept it, and may we be granted the intercession (sahafa’at) of our Holy Prophet (SAW). May his affection fill our heart.
When his affection fills our heart, it is the same with Allah’s affection. The one who loves the Prophet loves Allah. The one who loves someone else, who loves other unnecessary people are not granted anything. Our Holy Prophet is the most important. There is none else in this world who is a savior or an intercessor. When sayinng intercessor, of course all of those who are on the way of our Holy Prophet are the same, they are important,
but we are saying it in terms of this world. Those who do not respect and do not go on the path of our Holy Prophet, then their affection is no use.
The affection of those who are on the way of our Holy Prophet is made to reach the Prophet. Our hearts would fill with his affection and it would benefit us. If not, if it is full of worldly love then it is no use. May Allah fill our hearts with the affection of our Holy Prophet In Sha Allah. May we be granted his shafa’at, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
15.THOSE WHO ARE DEPRIVED FROM SHAFA’AT Saturday, 13 January 2018
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.
Son of man certainly needs to learn from someone. Allah Azza wa Jalla taught Adam Alayhis Salam.
“Wa ‘allama adamal asma’a kullaha.” (Sura Baqara:31) He taught everything to our father Adam, and he in turn taught his children. Then they taught those who came later and it continued like this. Son of man needs someone to teach him until the Day of Judgment.
Knowledge is obligatory (fard). Learning is obligatory on every Muslim. It is not “fard kifaya”, it is “fard ayn”. What is meant by fard kifaya is if someone learns it, the obligation is dropped on the rest. However, what is meant by ayn is you yourself need to learn. We need to continuously be with this intention since we are learning knowledge and are fulfilling Allah’s command. You need to learn from good people so that you do not toil for nothing, and in the end you will not have gained good but gained evil and be at loss.
There are religious sciences and technical sciences. Religious sciences are more important. We need to learn them from those who know it well. Because there are people who newly came out, who say they are learning but they are not learning. They are becoming more ignorant. There are those called ignorant and then there are the utterly ignorant. Who is the utterly ignorant? Those who study and get more ignorant are the utterly ignorant. The person who is far from the Prophet and who does not respect the Prophet - there, he is the utterly ignorant. There are a few in these times. May Allah guide them too so such people would finish. Because they are rowing in vain. It has no use. It is nothing but loss.
Thank Allah, millions of scholars appeared all the way since our Holy Prophet and they have millions of works. They have all left works which show the sunna of our Holy Prophet, which take his orders and explain and clarify them along with the obligations. They have reached until now. And now, as we said, the utterly ignorant who do not like
them have come out, and they say they want to do something new. Doing a new thing – this is not a story book for you to do something new.
Those who can do that need to be sincere worshippers with taqwa (fear of Allah). It is hard to find such people in these times. There are people who do not show respect, who write books according to their own heads, and who do not teach people the right path but the evil path. Because those scholars would not step on the ground without ablution. These ones, saving your presence, walk around janabat (unclean, without ghusl).
Therefore, people should not be fooled by them. They should not even listen to them. Let them talk to themselves. It is possible for them to come if Allah gives them sense and intelligence. Otherwise, they would be punished. Their punishment is being deprived from the intercession (shafa’at) of our Holy Prophet. They do not accept him [as an intercessor] anyway. This is the greatest punishment.
Nobody can be saved by their own deeds. This is the summary of the matter. There have been none who were saved by their own deeds. Because even the awliya (saints) constantly weep saying they were not able to do anything and are in need of shafa’at. It says even the prophets are in need of the intercession of our Holy Prophet. May Allah grant us all that intercession In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
16.ALLAH LIKES TO FORGIVE Sunday, 14 January 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah Azza wa Jalla is having mercy on son of man, and son of man is not having mercy on himself. Son of man continuously commits sins and mistakes. Son of man is shortcoming. He is always having a fault and committing sin. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He due to His mercy says to repent and ask for forgiveness. Allah is the one who accepts repentance and the asking for forgiveness. There is no person who does not have a sin. However, Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “You are not tired of sin, and I am not tired of forgiving you.” Our Holy Prophet says, “Repent at least 70 times a day.” You can do it as: “Astaghfirullah, tawba Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah al-Azim.” You can also say, “Tawba Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah al-Azim.” Our Holy Prophet tells the companions, “70 years of sins are forgiven for those who do this,” and a sahabi says, “I do not have that much.” “If you don’t have, then by saying Astaghfirullah, Allah forgives your fat
