Suhbah 2018: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (3/25)

her, if your father doesn’t have then your family, if your family doesn’t have then even your neighbor.”
So Allah Azza wa Jalla makes a means for people to be forgiven, but most people do not do it and do not even remember it. They are oppressing themselves by themselves then. The doors are open for forgiveness. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He says, “The door of repentance is open until the sun rises from the west.” And the sun will rise from the west a little before Doomsday. People are thinking it is nature. That time they will see how Allah exists. Nobody will have an excuse left when that occurs, and if one commits a sin the door of repentance would be shut. Repentance is not accepted that time. Therefore, these times are profitable times. When you commit a sin, repent so Allah would forgive you and you would be saved from that burden of sin. The burden of sin is heavy. People think, “There is no burden. It is not heavy.” They think it is like clouds. When people look at clouds they see it as dust. It does not look like anything, but it has tons of weight. Sins are heavy the same way. Let us repent and ask for forgiveness every day and get rid of those sins Inshallah. Thank Allah, Allah gave this opportunity so people would benefit. May Allah forgive us all and have mercy on us all In Sha Allah.

17.REAL HAPPINESS Monday, 15 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 Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam describes what is happiness to us. "Man aṣbaḥa fī sirbihi āminan wa mu‘āfan fī jasadihi wa ‘indahu qūtu yawmihi, ḥīzat lahu d- dunyā," says our Prophet What does it mean? Happy is the one who is safe, who lives where it's safe. Because the situation now is that many people cannot live in safety. They live in fear.
Those who are healthy; that is also a big favour described by our Prophet. Those who have enough food daily to eat, the world is theirs. They have the biggest thing. Allah has given everything. Things we tell are enough for mankind. In order to praise Allah they should make shukr day and night. They should make shukr and obey Allah carry out His orders. Who does this finds happiness, he already has it.
Our Prophet told us the most important things. If we leave it to people, they will never think of these. They won't consider them as favours. They want cars, houses, land, this and that. As we said, these given things are favours which are not appreciated. Whereas these are the main things. It is a very big favour to live in safety and healthy. You can't buy these things for money.
Our Prophet told us the most important things. If we leave it to people, they will never think of these. They won't consider them as favours. They want cars, houses, land, this and that. As we said, these given things are favours which are not appreciated. Whereas these are the main things. It is a very big favour to live in safety and healthy. You can't buy these things for money.
When a man is sick, he gives all his money. We've seen many very rich people who gave nearly all of their wealth to hospitals and doctors in order to recover. Most departed without getting better. Money had no value next to it. Better have health than money. But normal people don't realise it. And when they have food to eat, they should thank Allāh. As if the whole world will had been given to them. Jizan, jā’izah means gift That will be a gift to people. They should make shukr for it.
It is a short ḥadīth of our Prophet. But it is a key to the happiness. When you know it and its' value, there is no need for other things. Prophet he is explain for us the happiness ḥadīth. We read; he said first of all who is in safety in his place and his body healthy and he has his food to eat for the day this is he got this, he won this dunyā. Dunyā meaning is life. Very important thing is to be safe where you are living. Now many people they are living in fear. They're afraid from something happen, there is war or something other thing from people, from government from everything can be not safe.
To be safe it's big favour. Second to be healthy. Your body healthy, it is also a big favour and third to find something to eat, it is also big favour. This is three things the happiness you have. You must thank you, be thankful for your Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and thank Him for what He give you and to thank Him to accept His order and to do His order. This is your thank for Allāh.
But now there are people they are not remembering this for happiness. To be safe, they are say this is, not it is... with not remembering this, only what they want more and more from cars, house, property. To be go around to enjoy themselves to be have party, to have something like this. This is what they thinking is happiness. But it is real happiness with these three things.
Because to be safe it's real when people not in safety they are knowing what meaning safe. Second to be healthy in your body. It is very important also because you have health and you are strong with body you can go come go sit up you can walk out. It is very important because this who has illness they know this, how it is important.
Because with money also you cannot buy health for yourself. We know many people very rich people they give whole their fortune for to be healthy. Many of them not succeed and money going with doctor and hospital and their life also going. Maybe very few people can [be] saved when some illness happen so with money also you cannot find health. So this is Prophet making short description for happiness and the third one to find every day something to eat.
This is gift from, for your life. You have won the biggest gift. Allah make us safe and healthy and, In Sha Allah, to find every time to eat from ḥālal, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
18.ACCEPT YOUR CREATOR Tuesday, 16 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created people from nothing. Shukr to Him. To make shirk to Allāh is the biggest oppression. People nowadays are not only making shirk, but also denying Allāh. It is even bigger oppression. It is very big oppression to make shirk. And bigger than that... Allāh created us. Allāh sent us to this life, to this world. We should make shukr to Him.
Most people are not Muslim, not believers. They are few. Who are Muslim and believe in Allāh are few. Therefore, we should be careful. Same for those who call themselves Muslim. People rebel sometimes asking, "Why did I come to this world?" Sometimes they come against Allāh. Or they assume everything came to this world for their pleasure, for the pleasure of their parents or others. None is like this.
As long as Allāh didn't wish it for you, nothing would happen. Therefore, instead of saying if only and saying useless words, you should be patient in dunyā and earn for ākhirah, as Allāh gave you this chance. This world is a place of tests. People can live in comfort too. Who are pleased and accept their conditions and are patient are in comfort. And if you're not patient, you will fret from continuous worry. Anger, fury, discontent and unrest never bring benefit to people.
Rebellion doesn't benefit anyone. If you rebel, certainly you will be punished for it. Rebellion is not good. Especially, rebellion made against Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the worst. As we said, this world has been existing since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. People are still the same. "If I lived before..." It can't be. You are here now. You should accept this condition now and carry out Allāh's orders. You will be at ease. No, they say, "If only I wasn't here. If only I wasn't in this time."
Our Prophet is saying not to say "if only". Because it doesn't change anything. When you go somewhere, just like you observe local culture, how they work, what they do, when people go from one country to another and comply with them, you come to this world just like that. You should comply with it and make shukr to Allāh. You will be in comfort both here and hereafter. And if you are in comfort here and don't think about hereafter,
your ākhirah will be difficult. And who have no comfort here and hereafter, then they are in complete loss then.
These people, shayṭān is teaching rebellion to them. He wants their ends to be bad. And he wants them to live in bad conditions. Shayṭān promises poorness and poverty, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He promises laziness and evil. But most people ask for this. When ordered goodness, they start running away. You say it for the better and they don't want it. And then they cry saying this and that. This is the instruction of shayṭān.
Shayṭān injected evil drop by drop to these people. Even if he takes them all to hell, he won't be satisfied. Therefore, we should be careful. We should be pleased with our condition. We should ask mercy from Allāh for ourselves, In Sha Allah. Because it's very important. People say they are depressed. This is the main issue of depression, to not be content with your situation.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create human being and nothing nobody else create no any reason He create us from nothing from nothing He said for us be – we have been. So many people they are complaining in their life. They said I wish I was not born I wish... this fault from... from my father. Like one Arabic poem and philisopher his name Jāḥidh he said, "Hādhā mā jināhu abī ‘alayya wa mā janaytu ‘alá aḥad." This what my father he make this crime to make me. I didn't make a crime. I will not have been married I not bring any child, no crime I didn't do anything. This is a thing many people they are doing, saying this. Not fault your father, not fault your grandfather.
If Allāh He don't want to create you, you will no – If whole world coming... No. You cannot bring one child, this from Allāh. Everything from Allāh this important thing many people not thinking about this. Only blaming other people for what happened, for what they done, what in this world. This is all nonsense. What you must be for to be satisfied, you accept what Allāh.
Accept, first thing to accept is your Creator. Because to make partner for your Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying it is the biggest oppression for Allāh. The biggest. But there is people nowadays they not, they are denying Creator and this is more bigger oppression for Allāh. But Allāh He is Creator and He create us and He give us chance to live in this world [for a] short period after it will be real life forever. So people because they are not have belief only they thought, "I am in this world so I must be happy, I must be do everything to enjoy myself everything what I want, I imagine I like to do it." If they cannot do this they are becoming – even they are doing also not happy but if they cannot do it they are more unhappy.
And the many people they are like to finish their life to suicide or to kill how they like but this is craziness because what Allāh give you it is very precious thing. Very precious
opportunity to be human being to be in life. This is special for you. Allāh He choose you and make you in this life. But He is also He testing you this life not only to enjoy yourself. No. You must be test from Allāh. If you are, you deserve to be in paradise and to be happy forever. But if you are not good so you will be unhappy forever.
So people must accept first their Creator and after accept His favor and accept what they are in their situation. Enjoy their life because if you are accept this, even if you are poor you don't have anything you enjoy your life. But if you not accept you are not enjoying only thinking for everything happen in any world time. Part of the world you become afraid you became unhappy. You said, "What is this?" This is life.
From Adām ‘alayhi s-salām until now every human being they have Allāh give him special test we have now nuclear missile that time they have stone they kill themselves by stone so. It is also same afraid. So no need to afraid only accept. This is only temporarily life we must prepare for real life. In shā’a Llāh, Allāh give us, accepting everything. He give everything from Him. When you know everything from Him you cannot be unhappy. This is He know best. What good for us He give us. We are accepting, we say, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
19.BE CAREFUL FROM DIRTINESS Thursday, 18 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Yā ayyuhā l- ladhīna āmanū ijtanibū l-khabā’ith." Beware from malign things, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. What is malign? is an impure thing, an evil thing. Whatever things there are like this; stay away from them. Watch what you eat and drink so that you don't eat and drink impure things. They are clear.
Things that have dirt inside them that are mixed with forbidden animals like pork, that are not clean for cutting, and food which contains blood in it, beware of them. They are all malign, dirty, filthy and unclean. When a person eats them, his spirituality weakens and his body is harmed. There comes an illness. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling us to eat pure food and to be with pure people. And when you get married, "Wa ṭ-ṭayyibātu liṭ- ṭayyibīna wa ṭ-ṭayyibūna liṭ-ṭayyibāti" (24:26). "Al-khabīthātu lil-khabīthīna wa l- khabīthūna lil-khabīthāti" (24:26). Who are pure will be with the pure. And who are not pure marry malign women. And that is in everything.
Though people like this matter, appearance is different and an inner beauty is different. "Wa law a‘jabaka kathratu l-khabīthi" (5:100). There are many dirty things. Don't let yourself admire them. There are a lot. There are many beautiful things. Look at their core. They are malign. They are not good and they are dirty. Don't admire them, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Look at the core of everything. If the core is pure, admire and like it. But even if they put the best thing in front of you, if it has dirtiness in it, will you eat it? You won't eat it if you know. If you don't know, you will eat enjoying it so much. And afterwards, when someone tells you it had this and that dirty stuff in it, you will regret eating it. There are things to be cautious about in this world. And at the top of them, be with pure people in pure places. Don't be in dirty places with dirty friends.
Let your food and drinks be pure. Let your earnings be pure. Everything is included in this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is warning us. Be careful. It is for your benefit. Don't be deceived by the majority.
Of course, mankind's ego is weak. When they see such things, they run for them. And afterwards, if they don't regret it here, they will regret in ākhirah. May Allāh let us meet good people. May your everything be pure. May even our breath be taken in pure places, In Sha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla ordering us to be careful from dirtiness. "Ijtanibū l-khabīth." Order in Qur’ān. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Yā ayyuhā l-ladhīna āmanū ijtanibū l- khabīth." Khabīth meaning not clean, dirty maybe meaning more extremely dirty meaning. This is because Arabic language it is, Sub Han Allah, [a] very huge thing. In many, for dirty maybe you find ten fifteen descriptions for the word 'dirty'.
But this Khabīth meaning it is real making people to hurt too much. From what is from dirty? Everything. From beginning from what you are eating. Be careful! No need to eat too much. If you don't find real clean one thing, don't eat. Even there is some kind of people they don't have any religion, they don't have anything but they making thing for themselves to not eat meat. But in our religion meat is ḥalāl. You can eat it. But, it must be clean.
Especially, not to put any blood on it because where they making in non-believer countries they using blood also. They put it in everything. So we cannot eat this or to eat pork also [is] forbidden. Why [are] we forbidden? Because it is Khabīth. Dirty. No any doubt for this. Even they are trying to cheat people. But it is really dirty and not – don't have any benefit for human being to eat it. For animals, they can, they are not – they don't have any responsibility.
Allāh give them, every kind of animal, they have something to eat and it is ḥalāl for them. This is from Allāh wisdom to clean the earth to not leave it like this. If not eating maybe it will be smelling, but Allāh make this ḥalāl for animals. So for them it is ḥalāl. For human beings, for especially for believer Muslims it is not ḥalāl. But others, because they are not Muslim, we not interfere with them. They are free. We cannot say, don't eat. No they can. You are... not your business this.
But for yourself, for a believer must be careful for what they are eating, from where they are bringing money to eat also. Khabīth money also, who are not ḥalāl it making make everybody to be ill. Illness coming from this because people now these days they are not looking for good things. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying to be careful and to not be happy with Khabīth. "Wa law a‘jabaka kathratu l-khabīth" (5:100). Because this dirty thing it is too much. Many, everywhere it is many.
And people looking and they are wishing, "If this, it was for me..." they say – Allāh say, "Don't think like this!" If it is not good don't wish this for yourself. Only you wish a clean one and clean people. Even when you are married also. You must look for good [one].
"Wa ṭ-ṭayyibātu liṭ- ṭayyibīn wa ṭ-ṭayyibūna liṭ-ṭayyibāt" (24:26). "Al-khabīthātu lil- khabīthīn" (24:26). Good people for... good man for good ladies and bad, dirty one for not good one, for not good one.
So, you must look for, if you are looking for wife, not for beauty. Beauty can cover dirtiness. But after when you are with them they open their dirty face and it will be real problem for you. So, don't follow your ego, follow your – order of Allāh. So this is for Muslim to be careful from everything, to look for good thing. In everything, everything you can, you must look for good thing.
Even with your house you must try to make house as good for your body, for your Islamic way. But now of course this day it is nearly impossible to have something like this. But also you are must try to get the best for your health and for your physical and for spiritual thing. When somebody eating this dirty thing it is coming for them darkness. They are coming illness, they coming bad thing.
Every bad thing coming from this. When you are eating or you are go with place not good, this making you ill. Make you stressed, make you feel very bad. But when you are with good people Allāh take this heaviness from you. Allāh help us to find every time good things and to avoid the dirty things, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
20.WHO DIES FROM LOVE IS SHAHID Friday, 19 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.
The foundation of the religion of Islām is cleanliness. When you open the first page of fiqh, it talks about cleanliness. If not clean, worship is not accepted. What does it point to? It is a sign that the religion of Islām is a clean religion. Everything should be clean to be good. When it is clean, it is nice and beautiful. Islām starts with cleanliness and everything, every relation, every obligation is based on this cleanliness. Allāh gives us the best things. Take from them. No need to look for other things. Don't deal with dirtiness. Don't deal with filth, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. "I am giving you good and nice things. Take them."
One of them, which is most important and that Muslims should guard the most, is the matter of marriage. The matter of marriage is important. In old times, there was not such openness and freedom like people have in this time. A family would go and ask for a girl for their son. They would marry and keep covered. There was no other option to look for. They married and were satisfied, dealt with their children and brought their rizq. They lived in a nice way. Our Prophet says marriage is half of religion. It is an important thing. And now in this time there is no such a thing that a family asks for someone for their son and he accepts her. And when they get married, everywhere is open, so they find someone else. Then he leaves her or something else happens. Therefore, this matter of marriage is important.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says good ones will be with good ones. It is the āyatu l-karīma we read in the khuṭbah. When good women are married to good men and good men are married to good women, Allāh shows forgiveness to them. Their rizq increases. It is good tidings. But people, as we said, are not looking at it now. They don't look at clean ones. They want what their egos like. That is nothing, we let them marry for now.
Shayṭān doesn't like it. This matter of marriage is one of the main enemies of shayṭān. He tries to destroy it. Most of them are destroyed in non-Muslim countries. Not many are left. People are going in different directions there. They went completely astray. They are ahlu lkufr. We can't say anything to them. But they are bothering Muslims too. They are taking Muslims out of the way, not as Allāh created and ordered, but as Allāh has
cursed and as shayṭān wants. And Muslims want to go the same way. That is not clean. They are dirty.
Who imitate them are cursed. They are cursed. Bad actions they do are not accepted. They will be punished. Therefore, the matter of marriage is important.
Who is married should deal with his family. Allāh will open his rizq. He will give them light and happiness. And He forgives them in ākhirah. They will enter paradise. They don't follow their ego and they keep on this good way. Because, as we said, this is the end of times, it is like this. May Allāh protect and help Muslims. May they not obey their egos.
They are giving various fatwá. There are some ignorant ones who don't know. But there are also people who think they are religious and give fatwá. They give fatwá that pleases their ego. May Allāh protect Muslims. May Allāh protect from these bad ways, In Sha Allah.
Our religion Islām, al-ḥamdu liLlāh wa sh-shukru liLlāh. This is big favour from Allāh. We must thank Him for what He gives us. And Islām religion it is, first thing from in Islām – it is clean, cleanness, pureness. This is our religion. No any dirty. First thing from book of religion how to practice, first lesson – cleanness – Kitābu ṭ-Ṭahārah – to be clean. One book. From this first thing for water how it is clean, which water clean, which not clean. And after how to clean yourself. This is Islām.
It is enough for who have good intention to accept Islām only for it is cleanness. Because cleanness it is most important for whole human being. Dirtiness giving bad thing for people for their health, for their spiritual also. So first thing you must be clean. You must be with clean people, with clean relationship. Especially in Islām marriage very important. Muessese nedir?
G: Department.
SM: Department. So in this for this Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying when you are looking for marriage you look for clean people, clean man for clean ladies; clean ladies for clean pure man. This is in our khuṭbah we read. They must find this. Not looking for only shape, shape not good. Relationship it must be clean, pure, clean relationship with between woman and man with marriage. It is – other it is not clean. It is not good in divinely presence of Allāh and Prophet. This is our Lord's order. And He create us, He knows us, what we must do to be happy, to be clean, to be succeed for ākhirah.
Nowadays – before old days people they was not something like these days. Before maybe fifty or sixty years even, who want to marry, his family look for his wife and he
accept. Many of them accept, most of them accept and married and looking for his house, for his family, and they are ok. But now they are coming bombarding from shayṭān and he open whole sewage. He fall of this world with dirtiness. When man he married he not looking for his family to find good wife for him. No. He is looking and maybe he happy with shape but not looking at all for if it is suitable for him or not suitable. So after becoming problem when marriage because he will find another one also. Maybe he or she also now this is worst ladies also after ten years, twenty years, they are not happy with husband they are looking, crazy one, to find another one. And it is chance for them maybe they will never after find something good like before.
But even this not enough for shayṭān. He like to destroy whole this marriage for whole human being. And he succeed in Western or mostly in Western country because they are not believe in anything – just believing in ego. What their ego like, they can do everything. This is their now situation. But we are Muslim. We are not obeying thing the Creator not accept. Because Creator He create us like man and woman and He put rule and everybody it was thousand of years continue like this. But now they, it because it is the end of time, all this dirtiness Allāh allowed to for this people and shayṭān he is working very hard. He is not enough for him for this Western country, he want whole human being to finish marriage system. Even marriage system he want to make it different, out of normal. Not normal what they are doing. Normal to marry. Like as we said, marriage it is normal. After this it is nothing normal and it is cursed by Allāh, by prophets, by angels and whole human beings. This is what Prophet saying and when somebody is cursed it is the worst thing can happen for anybody to be cursed by Allāh ﷻ and by prophets. It is not joke. But who are not believing, they are free. But who believer, they must wake up because all sleeping and seeing not no any reflexing – reflection. No anything to say. Just seeing in TV or other ways this they make this law – they can do everything in this country. They make this law for other country also. They are, can make everything it is for them for shayṭān. We are not accepting and we are not happy with this. Only we must be wake up to be happy with our Lord and Prophet and not follow ego. Of course ego can be very strong. Sometimes maybe falling in love but you must keep your belief stronger than your love. Prophet saying who die from love – these days nobody die from love. Old time there was loving somebody and he died from love but this day nobody. Even Prophet saying: who die from love he is shahīd, he is martyr. So it meaning it is not – don't give any chance for your ego. Don't say: "okay little bit, little bit" and then after you finish. Be careful. For ladies and for man also because ladies also they are becoming – because as we said all sewage coming. Nobody can run away from this. So to must be clean, try to away this. Allāh help Muslim to fight against shayṭān and his follower and especially for our ego it is biggest enemy for us. Allāh help us, In Sha Allah.

21.DON’T BE AFRAID
Saturday, 20 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.
Old time people, I think holy Yunus Emre has a poem: "Look at what God does. Whatever He does, He does well." We are in the end of times. People are confused about what to do. Every day new things are coming up. They are afraid and worried. No need to be afraid. It is the will of Allāh. Be with Allāh and watch. You cannot do. anything. You cannot do anything but watch. Whatever comes, you should be with Allāh When you are with Allāh, you watch it like a movie and be in comfort. And if you don't think of Allāh, you will be in fear and trembling. "What will happen to us? Will they come here tomorrow? Will they take me away? Will I be foodless and drinkless? Will a bomb blow up? Will there be a war?" People are so worried.
Because it is the end of times, events are showing up and developing very quickly. Therefore, people get anxious. Who are anxious... People with faith shouldn't be anxious. People without belief fall into such anxiety that they think they can do something and try to change things. No. You think people are changing, and you are mistaken. It is the idea of shayṭān that you can change something. Even things that seem changeable, all of them are built according to this plan. Otherwise, it is impossible that a man tries to change something for better – it is only with the help of Allāh. What Allāh wants will happen. For deserving people it will still be with the will of Allāh. But as it is the end of times, every day there is a new event, a new incident now. They say global. Whole world is confused. Whole world is thinking at the same time "What shall we do?"
In old times, people were busy with work. Now they are not. Most people don't like working according to this new system. When it's not as they want, they don't work. They say there is no job. They attack the government and the leaders. We have nothing to do with them. What we say is: who is a believer should be relaxed. Believers should not be worried because it is the will of Allāh. It will be as Allāh wants, in shā’a Llāh. And we ask that Allāh help us. It is the end of times. May Allāh protect us. And what was promised to us appeared one by one.
People with faith, who believe in our Prophet and Allāh, wait for things told by our
Prophet. Qiyāmah is near. Most of the things he said have appeared. One part has yet to come. When that happens, Qiyāmah will come, with Allah's permission. Qiyāmah is nothing. In contrast, believers are waiting for that day. They are not afraid of that day. Because we seek refuge in Allāh's mercy on that day. We hope for intercession of our Prophet. Therefore, Allāh won't turn us away from His door. Allāh is Karīm. Allāh is Generous. Even a generous man doesn't turn away. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, who is the most generous of all, certainly will not turn us away from the door. Therefore, no need to be afraid. No need to worry. It is from the favours and beauties of īmān.
In Turkish there was one very famous poem he said, we let us – what happening, what is happen in this world it is make by Allāh and Allāh what He done He done nice, beautiful. Because this days he said only look and see, enjoy like this. Now we are living in day near end of the world. So every day a new thing coming. Everything, everyday a new news coming and people they are afraid. What will happen, what will? In this country you hear something happen other country also, other also. And now whole world they are listening and seeing what happen in any place in the world. And people they are becoming afraid. "What we will do?" they are asking. "What we this, what will happen?" Crisis there is war. There is maybe earthquake, maybe problem in everywhere. Every day new problem, new afraid for fear for people.
And but this for believer, as this big awliyā’u Llāh he said: "Don't be anxious, don't be afraid. Just look and see what happen. Don't do anything. You are believer and you believe what Allāh our God doing, He do the best." This is must be for each believer to think this, to not afraid from what happening in this time. Because this near Judgement Day and Prophet was telling us from his time until Qiyāmah what will happen. All one by his miracle he by one coming clearly. Now very few thing left to finish and it is this days what happening now. Because before twenty year or maybe eh before twenty year or twenty five, thirty year ago, if you say it will be like this they will be say for you you are crazy what happen now. But it is happen. In this world it is nothing impossible. Everything can be.
And Prophet he telling us about this and now coming everyday a new thing happening. But it is Prophet was telling us about this. So we must be more happy. Don't afraid from Judgement Day. Judgement Day not afraid for believer. Afraid, must be afraid who are not believer and they are denying. And they will be when they will be see it, they be shocked and no any chance more because Allāh give whole chance in this world and for only accept He say. "No. We are denying." Accept. "No we are denying." By stubborn like donkey not accept.
So it will be bad for them but for believer, as this poem saying, enjoy and see what will happen. What Allāh saying don't afraid. This is good tiding for believer also. For non- believer it is difficult, especially they are looking if anything happen for them, for their
place, for what they are doing. They are very afraid for this. They are dying every day hundred time from afraid but no benefit for them.
Allāh make us to reach days after these difficult days – day of Sayyidinā al-Mahdī ‘alayhi s- salām and Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām and it will be real happiness, In Sha Allah.

22.SCHOLARS ARE TWO TYPES Monday, 22 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.
“There are two types of scholars, and one is on the station of prophets,” says our Holy Prophet. The scholar who obeys Allah and leaves his ego for Allah is on the station of prophets. It is the hadith of our Holy Prophet: “Ulama’ ummati ka-anbiya bani israil – aw kama qal.”
“The scholars of my Nation are like the prophets of Bani Israil.” The highest station is still with scholars since there is no prophethood after our Holy Prophet.
He also says, “Ulama’ su.” There are bad scholars who are not good. They are ones who abide by their ego and do as their ego wants. They show the truth as falsehood. While all the scholars were calling something correct for years, they come up and show something else. And why is that? Not because of legal precedent (ijtihad) but completely because it is to their benefit and for their ego. So they may feed their ego and always make more money. They do not look at how many people are going astray. They do not care. They think the more people go after them the better. Our Holy Prophet says, “Punishment is twice as much for them.” Moreover, if they make people deviate and end on bad ways, they will get punished more for each man. They will get punished that much more as they will have as much sin as every man. That is why scholars or people studying knowledge should be careful of this. They should do it for the sake of Allah so their station would be with the prophets and they benefit people. It would firstly benefit themselves. For people on the true path, the greatest benefit would be for themselves. People who say things that do not exist for fame and money would gain profit for a short period, but essentially there would be lots of harm and loss. May Allah keep us safe from evil scholars, because they have multiplied in these times. There is no shortage of people who abide by their ego. Scholars, as we said, also have ego. Those whose egos are weak go after them. May Allah protect us all from their evils In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
23.TARIQA IS FOR TRAINING THE EGO Tuesday, 23 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.
Tariqa is for training the ego. A person enters the tariqa not to raise one’s ego but to lower one’s ego. Some people who enter tariqa in this day and age unknowingly raise their ego. They think their ego is finished when they enter tariqa. No, it attacks you more. The more you are on the right path, the more it attacks you.
The bad person’s ego does as it likes anyway. They go wild together. There is no need for it to attack that one. Things are going by themselves anyway. How do they say? Things are on track; it is going. It is the same with this. Things are on track with the ego and it is steering the man as it likes. It rides him like a donkey and is taking him where it wants. However, you entered tariqa to be saved. It knows this and is attacking that much more.
Of course, training the ego is not easy. Our Holy Prophet shows ego training and says, “Treat well the one who treats you badly, respect the one who does not respect you, give to the one who does not give you, and forgive the one who oppresses you.” So each of these is a very difficult thing, but they are necessary for ego training. People of this day and age do not even like the shaykh when he says something, and they stand up to him. Then they say they are in the tariqa. Alright, you can say, “I cannot do it. May Allah forgive me,” but to get up and directly be against it does not fit manners (adab). Tariqa is adab. Adab comes in first place in tariqa. The ego is trained with adab. It does not get trained with bad manners. You need to keep your manners.
This ego training, as we said, is not easy. It will slowly happen Inshallah, but you have to accept the advice. Firstly, you have to conform to manners and keep your manners. May Allah grant us all to be successful in training our ego. The person who trains it is acceptable in the sight of Allah and is a persona grata amongst people.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
24.YOU CANNOT ACT BASED ON DREAMS Wednesday, 24 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.
People see dreams but dreams are not for us to act upon. There are a couple of types of dreams. True dreams occur with prophets, pious (salih) ones, or saints (awliya). Regular people once in a while, meaning very rarely, see such dreams. People mostly see a dream having been effected by the events of a day. Then they cannot stir themselves and say, “I saw such and I will do as such.”
They say you cannot act based on dreams because dreams can be contradictory to religious law (sharia). Or people might see something they want according to their own head. Saying, “I will do as such,” does not work. Most people say, “I am under the influence of the dream and will do as such.” No, there is no need. There is no need if it does not fit sharia. However, if it fits and you want to offer prayer or fast, then there is no obstacle. But if you stir yourself and say, “I will shoot that one, I will break this,” then it does not work that way.
Dreams came instead of revelation for some prophets. They did not get revelation but they were told in dreams. There are also shaykhs and they can be seen in dreams. Then when they appear in front of you in substance you would say, “I saw this before. He called me and this and that.” So they also have disposition on dream. Shaitan also has disposition on dreams. Most dreams are shaitanic and we do not need to pay attention to them.
We should also not tell dreams to everybody, because it is Alah’s wisdom (hikma) - there is also wisdom in it - and it would happen as it is interpreted, as it is explained. Therefore, when you see a dream be grateful to Allah. When you see a bad dream, it would have no value nor any harm if you do not tell it. What is important is that it is not told and made public. When you are to tell it, tell it to someone you know or someone who knows how to interpret well. If not, it is better that it stays with you.
Allah has many hidden causes (hikam). Allah has lots of creation, beautiful things, that we can see and we cannot see. We need to do them as Allah prescribes and in the tongue of our Holy Prophet. If you do it you would be comfortable. If not, if you act without
doing it then you would be harmed. May Allah keep us safe. Let us pay attention to these matters. It happens a lot with us. If people keep acting based on dreams, in the end they either lose their mind or their religion becomes incomplete. May Allah keep us safe.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.WE DO NOT TRUST OUR OWN WORKS Friday, 26 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 that Allah Almighty created us from the Nation of (Ummat) Muhammad. Judaism is very strict as a religion, meaning its divine law (sharia) is strong. They have been living under a strict sharia until now. It was even stricter in the past. If one person did not perform worship in a village in the past, the whole village would face Allah’s fury and perish. Then Isa Alayhis Salam (Jesus Christ) came and it got a little softer.
It became even more merciful when our Holy Prophet came. The Jews would fast for six months. When our Holy Prophet ascended the Isra-Miraj we had fifty times [a day] prayer. He had met with Musa Alayhis Salam in the heavens. When he came and was asked, “What did your Lord gift you?” he said, “Fifty times prayer.” He (Musa AS) said, “They cannot bear it. My nation could not bear it either. You are Allah’s beloved servant. Ask for less.” He (the Prophet) said, “Forty-five.” “It is still undoable. They cannot bear it,” said he (Musa AS). Coming down five by five like this he got it down to five times. Musa Alayhis Salam said, “They cannot bear five times either.” “No, I am ashamed [to ask for less]. I cannot go in front of Allah,” said our Master. So Allah Azza wa Jalla was so merciful towards the Nation of Muhammad. He lightened our burden for the honor of our Holy Prophet. He lightened it but it is still hard for us if we are left with our own works.
Coming from Cyprus the other day, I filled a plastic bag with plenty of books and sent them with brothers since they were going to be heavy [for our allowance]. It has been sitting in the dergah for two months and I did not get a chance to take it out. When I took it out after sitting like that I found a handbook. In the last ten chapters the guys wrote a tafsir with useful information. I opened it and what do you know? A book by one of the known ones. There is no respect for anybody. It is a sin and shirk (associating partners) if you say, “For the honor of our Holy Prophet.” It is shirk if you visit the graves. There is no such thing as a holy night. Neither the night of Mawlid, it says, nor the night of Isra-Miraj, nor the Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr). Whereas they are all written in the Koran. No 15th of Shaban. It says no night is holy. Alright, we understand, everyone is responsible for their own actions and no one can make intercession it says.

her, if your father doesn’t have then your family, if your family doesn’t have then even your neighbor.”
So Allah Azza wa Jalla makes a means for people to be forgiven, but most people do not do it and do not even remember it. They are oppressing themselves by themselves then. The doors are open for forgiveness. Allah Exalted and Glorious be He says, “The door of repentance is open until the sun rises from the west.” And the sun will rise from the west a little before Doomsday. People are thinking it is nature. That time they will see how Allah exists. Nobody will have an excuse left when that occurs, and if one commits a sin the door of repentance would be shut. Repentance is not accepted that time. Therefore, these times are profitable times. When you commit a sin, repent so Allah would forgive you and you would be saved from that burden of sin. The burden of sin is heavy. People think, “There is no burden. It is not heavy.” They think it is like clouds. When people look at clouds they see it as dust. It does not look like anything, but it has tons of weight. Sins are heavy the same way. Let us repent and ask for forgiveness every day and get rid of those sins Inshallah. Thank Allah, Allah gave this opportunity so people would benefit. May Allah forgive us all and have mercy on us all In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
17.REAL HAPPINESS Monday, 15 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 Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam describes what is happiness to us. "Man aṣbaḥa fī sirbihi āminan wa mu‘āfan fī jasadihi wa ‘indahu qūtu yawmihi, ḥīzat lahu d- dunyā," says our Prophet What does it mean? Happy is the one who is safe, who lives where it's safe. Because the situation now is that many people cannot live in safety. They live in fear.
Those who are healthy; that is also a big favour described by our Prophet. Those who have enough food daily to eat, the world is theirs. They have the biggest thing. Allah has given everything. Things we tell are enough for mankind. In order to praise Allah they should make shukr day and night. They should make shukr and obey Allah carry out His orders. Who does this finds happiness, he already has it.
Our Prophet told us the most important things. If we leave it to people, they will never think of these. They won't consider them as favours. They want cars, houses, land, this and that. As we said, these given things are favours which are not appreciated. Whereas these are the main things. It is a very big favour to live in safety and healthy. You can't buy these things for money.
Our Prophet told us the most important things. If we leave it to people, they will never think of these. They won't consider them as favours. They want cars, houses, land, this and that. As we said, these given things are favours which are not appreciated. Whereas these are the main things. It is a very big favour to live in safety and healthy. You can't buy these things for money.
When a man is sick, he gives all his money. We've seen many very rich people who gave nearly all of their wealth to hospitals and doctors in order to recover. Most departed without getting better. Money had no value next to it. Better have health than money. But normal people don't realise it. And when they have food to eat, they should thank Allāh. As if the whole world will had been given to them. Jizan, jā’izah means gift That will be a gift to people. They should make shukr for it.
It is a short ḥadīth of our Prophet. But it is a key to the happiness. When you know it and its' value, there is no need for other things. Prophet he is explain for us the happiness ḥadīth. We read; he said first of all who is in safety in his place and his body healthy and he has his food to eat for the day this is he got this, he won this dunyā. Dunyā meaning is life. Very important thing is to be safe where you are living. Now many people they are living in fear. They're afraid from something happen, there is war or something other thing from people, from government from everything can be not safe.
To be safe it's big favour. Second to be healthy. Your body healthy, it is also a big favour and third to find something to eat, it is also big favour. This is three things the happiness you have. You must thank you, be thankful for your Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and thank Him for what He give you and to thank Him to accept His order and to do His order. This is your thank for Allāh.
But now there are people they are not remembering this for happiness. To be safe, they are say this is, not it is... with not remembering this, only what they want more and more from cars, house, property. To be go around to enjoy themselves to be have party, to have something like this. This is what they thinking is happiness. But it is real happiness with these three things.
Because to be safe it's real when people not in safety they are knowing what meaning safe. Second to be healthy in your body. It is very important also because you have health and you are strong with body you can go come go sit up you can walk out. It is very important because this who has illness they know this, how it is important.
Because with money also you cannot buy health for yourself. We know many people very rich people they give whole their fortune for to be healthy. Many of them not succeed and money going with doctor and hospital and their life also going. Maybe very few people can [be] saved when some illness happen so with money also you cannot find health. So this is Prophet making short description for happiness and the third one to find every day something to eat.
This is gift from, for your life. You have won the biggest gift. Allah make us safe and healthy and, In Sha Allah, to find every time to eat from ḥālal, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
18.ACCEPT YOUR CREATOR Tuesday, 16 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla created people from nothing. Shukr to Him. To make shirk to Allāh is the biggest oppression. People nowadays are not only making shirk, but also denying Allāh. It is even bigger oppression. It is very big oppression to make shirk. And bigger than that... Allāh created us. Allāh sent us to this life, to this world. We should make shukr to Him.
Most people are not Muslim, not believers. They are few. Who are Muslim and believe in Allāh are few. Therefore, we should be careful. Same for those who call themselves Muslim. People rebel sometimes asking, "Why did I come to this world?" Sometimes they come against Allāh. Or they assume everything came to this world for their pleasure, for the pleasure of their parents or others. None is like this.
As long as Allāh didn't wish it for you, nothing would happen. Therefore, instead of saying if only and saying useless words, you should be patient in dunyā and earn for ākhirah, as Allāh gave you this chance. This world is a place of tests. People can live in comfort too. Who are pleased and accept their conditions and are patient are in comfort. And if you're not patient, you will fret from continuous worry. Anger, fury, discontent and unrest never bring benefit to people.
Rebellion doesn't benefit anyone. If you rebel, certainly you will be punished for it. Rebellion is not good. Especially, rebellion made against Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is the worst. As we said, this world has been existing since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. People are still the same. "If I lived before..." It can't be. You are here now. You should accept this condition now and carry out Allāh's orders. You will be at ease. No, they say, "If only I wasn't here. If only I wasn't in this time."
Our Prophet is saying not to say "if only". Because it doesn't change anything. When you go somewhere, just like you observe local culture, how they work, what they do, when people go from one country to another and comply with them, you come to this world just like that. You should comply with it and make shukr to Allāh. You will be in comfort both here and hereafter. And if you are in comfort here and don't think about hereafter,
your ākhirah will be difficult. And who have no comfort here and hereafter, then they are in complete loss then.
These people, shayṭān is teaching rebellion to them. He wants their ends to be bad. And he wants them to live in bad conditions. Shayṭān promises poorness and poverty, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. He promises laziness and evil. But most people ask for this. When ordered goodness, they start running away. You say it for the better and they don't want it. And then they cry saying this and that. This is the instruction of shayṭān.
Shayṭān injected evil drop by drop to these people. Even if he takes them all to hell, he won't be satisfied. Therefore, we should be careful. We should be pleased with our condition. We should ask mercy from Allāh for ourselves, In Sha Allah. Because it's very important. People say they are depressed. This is the main issue of depression, to not be content with your situation.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create human being and nothing nobody else create no any reason He create us from nothing from nothing He said for us be – we have been. So many people they are complaining in their life. They said I wish I was not born I wish... this fault from... from my father. Like one Arabic poem and philisopher his name Jāḥidh he said, "Hādhā mā jināhu abī ‘alayya wa mā janaytu ‘alá aḥad." This what my father he make this crime to make me. I didn't make a crime. I will not have been married I not bring any child, no crime I didn't do anything. This is a thing many people they are doing, saying this. Not fault your father, not fault your grandfather.
If Allāh He don't want to create you, you will no – If whole world coming... No. You cannot bring one child, this from Allāh. Everything from Allāh this important thing many people not thinking about this. Only blaming other people for what happened, for what they done, what in this world. This is all nonsense. What you must be for to be satisfied, you accept what Allāh.
Accept, first thing to accept is your Creator. Because to make partner for your Creator Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying it is the biggest oppression for Allāh. The biggest. But there is people nowadays they not, they are denying Creator and this is more bigger oppression for Allāh. But Allāh He is Creator and He create us and He give us chance to live in this world [for a] short period after it will be real life forever. So people because they are not have belief only they thought, "I am in this world so I must be happy, I must be do everything to enjoy myself everything what I want, I imagine I like to do it." If they cannot do this they are becoming – even they are doing also not happy but if they cannot do it they are more unhappy.
And the many people they are like to finish their life to suicide or to kill how they like but this is craziness because what Allāh give you it is very precious thing. Very precious
opportunity to be human being to be in life. This is special for you. Allāh He choose you and make you in this life. But He is also He testing you this life not only to enjoy yourself. No. You must be test from Allāh. If you are, you deserve to be in paradise and to be happy forever. But if you are not good so you will be unhappy forever.
So people must accept first their Creator and after accept His favor and accept what they are in their situation. Enjoy their life because if you are accept this, even if you are poor you don't have anything you enjoy your life. But if you not accept you are not enjoying only thinking for everything happen in any world time. Part of the world you become afraid you became unhappy. You said, "What is this?" This is life.
From Adām ‘alayhi s-salām until now every human being they have Allāh give him special test we have now nuclear missile that time they have stone they kill themselves by stone so. It is also same afraid. So no need to afraid only accept. This is only temporarily life we must prepare for real life. In shā’a Llāh, Allāh give us, accepting everything. He give everything from Him. When you know everything from Him you cannot be unhappy. This is He know best. What good for us He give us. We are accepting, we say, In Sha Allah.

19.BE CAREFUL FROM DIRTINESS Thursday, 18 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Yā ayyuhā l- ladhīna āmanū ijtanibū l-khabā’ith." Beware from malign things, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. What is malign? is an impure thing, an evil thing. Whatever things there are like this; stay away from them. Watch what you eat and drink so that you don't eat and drink impure things. They are clear.
Things that have dirt inside them that are mixed with forbidden animals like pork, that are not clean for cutting, and food which contains blood in it, beware of them. They are all malign, dirty, filthy and unclean. When a person eats them, his spirituality weakens and his body is harmed. There comes an illness. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling us to eat pure food and to be with pure people. And when you get married, "Wa ṭ-ṭayyibātu liṭ- ṭayyibīna wa ṭ-ṭayyibūna liṭ-ṭayyibāti" (24:26). "Al-khabīthātu lil-khabīthīna wa l- khabīthūna lil-khabīthāti" (24:26). Who are pure will be with the pure. And who are not pure marry malign women. And that is in everything.
Though people like this matter, appearance is different and an inner beauty is different. "Wa law a‘jabaka kathratu l-khabīthi" (5:100). There are many dirty things. Don't let yourself admire them. There are a lot. There are many beautiful things. Look at their core. They are malign. They are not good and they are dirty. Don't admire them, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Look at the core of everything. If the core is pure, admire and like it. But even if they put the best thing in front of you, if it has dirtiness in it, will you eat it? You won't eat it if you know. If you don't know, you will eat enjoying it so much. And afterwards, when someone tells you it had this and that dirty stuff in it, you will regret eating it. There are things to be cautious about in this world. And at the top of them, be with pure people in pure places. Don't be in dirty places with dirty friends.
Let your food and drinks be pure. Let your earnings be pure. Everything is included in this. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is warning us. Be careful. It is for your benefit. Don't be deceived by the majority.
Of course, mankind's ego is weak. When they see such things, they run for them. And afterwards, if they don't regret it here, they will regret in ākhirah. May Allāh let us meet good people. May your everything be pure. May even our breath be taken in pure places, In Sha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla ordering us to be careful from dirtiness. "Ijtanibū l-khabīth." Order in Qur’ān. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Yā ayyuhā l-ladhīna āmanū ijtanibū l- khabīth." Khabīth meaning not clean, dirty maybe meaning more extremely dirty meaning. This is because Arabic language it is, Sub Han Allah, [a] very huge thing. In many, for dirty maybe you find ten fifteen descriptions for the word 'dirty'.
But this Khabīth meaning it is real making people to hurt too much. From what is from dirty? Everything. From beginning from what you are eating. Be careful! No need to eat too much. If you don't find real clean one thing, don't eat. Even there is some kind of people they don't have any religion, they don't have anything but they making thing for themselves to not eat meat. But in our religion meat is ḥalāl. You can eat it. But, it must be clean.
Especially, not to put any blood on it because where they making in non-believer countries they using blood also. They put it in everything. So we cannot eat this or to eat pork also [is] forbidden. Why [are] we forbidden? Because it is Khabīth. Dirty. No any doubt for this. Even they are trying to cheat people. But it is really dirty and not – don't have any benefit for human being to eat it. For animals, they can, they are not – they don't have any responsibility.
Allāh give them, every kind of animal, they have something to eat and it is ḥalāl for them. This is from Allāh wisdom to clean the earth to not leave it like this. If not eating maybe it will be smelling, but Allāh make this ḥalāl for animals. So for them it is ḥalāl. For human beings, for especially for believer Muslims it is not ḥalāl. But others, because they are not Muslim, we not interfere with them. They are free. We cannot say, don't eat. No they can. You are... not your business this.
But for yourself, for a believer must be careful for what they are eating, from where they are bringing money to eat also. Khabīth money also, who are not ḥalāl it making make everybody to be ill. Illness coming from this because people now these days they are not looking for good things. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying to be careful and to not be happy with Khabīth. "Wa law a‘jabaka kathratu l-khabīth" (5:100). Because this dirty thing it is too much. Many, everywhere it is many.
And people looking and they are wishing, "If this, it was for me..." they say – Allāh say, "Don't think like this!" If it is not good don't wish this for yourself. Only you wish a clean one and clean people. Even when you are married also. You must look for good [one].
"Wa ṭ-ṭayyibātu liṭ- ṭayyibīn wa ṭ-ṭayyibūna liṭ-ṭayyibāt" (24:26). "Al-khabīthātu lil- khabīthīn" (24:26). Good people for... good man for good ladies and bad, dirty one for not good one, for not good one.
So, you must look for, if you are looking for wife, not for beauty. Beauty can cover dirtiness. But after when you are with them they open their dirty face and it will be real problem for you. So, don't follow your ego, follow your – order of Allāh. So this is for Muslim to be careful from everything, to look for good thing. In everything, everything you can, you must look for good thing.
Even with your house you must try to make house as good for your body, for your Islamic way. But now of course this day it is nearly impossible to have something like this. But also you are must try to get the best for your health and for your physical and for spiritual thing. When somebody eating this dirty thing it is coming for them darkness. They are coming illness, they coming bad thing.
Every bad thing coming from this. When you are eating or you are go with place not good, this making you ill. Make you stressed, make you feel very bad. But when you are with good people Allāh take this heaviness from you. Allāh help us to find every time good things and to avoid the dirty things, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
20.WHO DIES FROM LOVE IS SHAHID Friday, 19 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.
The foundation of the religion of Islām is cleanliness. When you open the first page of fiqh, it talks about cleanliness. If not clean, worship is not accepted. What does it point to? It is a sign that the religion of Islām is a clean religion. Everything should be clean to be good. When it is clean, it is nice and beautiful. Islām starts with cleanliness and everything, every relation, every obligation is based on this cleanliness. Allāh gives us the best things. Take from them. No need to look for other things. Don't deal with dirtiness. Don't deal with filth, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. "I am giving you good and nice things. Take them."
One of them, which is most important and that Muslims should guard the most, is the matter of marriage. The matter of marriage is important. In old times, there was not such openness and freedom like people have in this time. A family would go and ask for a girl for their son. They would marry and keep covered. There was no other option to look for. They married and were satisfied, dealt with their children and brought their rizq. They lived in a nice way. Our Prophet says marriage is half of religion. It is an important thing. And now in this time there is no such a thing that a family asks for someone for their son and he accepts her. And when they get married, everywhere is open, so they find someone else. Then he leaves her or something else happens. Therefore, this matter of marriage is important.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says good ones will be with good ones. It is the āyatu l-karīma we read in the khuṭbah. When good women are married to good men and good men are married to good women, Allāh shows forgiveness to them. Their rizq increases. It is good tidings. But people, as we said, are not looking at it now. They don't look at clean ones. They want what their egos like. That is nothing, we let them marry for now.
Shayṭān doesn't like it. This matter of marriage is one of the main enemies of shayṭān. He tries to destroy it. Most of them are destroyed in non-Muslim countries. Not many are left. People are going in different directions there. They went completely astray. They are ahlu lkufr. We can't say anything to them. But they are bothering Muslims too. They are taking Muslims out of the way, not as Allāh created and ordered, but as Allāh has
cursed and as shayṭān wants. And Muslims want to go the same way. That is not clean. They are dirty.
Who imitate them are cursed. They are cursed. Bad actions they do are not accepted. They will be punished. Therefore, the matter of marriage is important.
Who is married should deal with his family. Allāh will open his rizq. He will give them light and happiness. And He forgives them in ākhirah. They will enter paradise. They don't follow their ego and they keep on this good way. Because, as we said, this is the end of times, it is like this. May Allāh protect and help Muslims. May they not obey their egos.
They are giving various fatwá. There are some ignorant ones who don't know. But there are also people who think they are religious and give fatwá. They give fatwá that pleases their ego. May Allāh protect Muslims. May Allāh protect from these bad ways, In Sha Allah.
Our religion Islām, al-ḥamdu liLlāh wa sh-shukru liLlāh. This is big favour from Allāh. We must thank Him for what He gives us. And Islām religion it is, first thing from in Islām – it is clean, cleanness, pureness. This is our religion. No any dirty. First thing from book of religion how to practice, first lesson – cleanness – Kitābu ṭ-Ṭahārah – to be clean. One book. From this first thing for water how it is clean, which water clean, which not clean. And after how to clean yourself. This is Islām.
It is enough for who have good intention to accept Islām only for it is cleanness. Because cleanness it is most important for whole human being. Dirtiness giving bad thing for people for their health, for their spiritual also. So first thing you must be clean. You must be with clean people, with clean relationship. Especially in Islām marriage very important. Muessese nedir?
G: Department.
SM: Department. So in this for this Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying when you are looking for marriage you look for clean people, clean man for clean ladies; clean ladies for clean pure man. This is in our khuṭbah we read. They must find this. Not looking for only shape, shape not good. Relationship it must be clean, pure, clean relationship with between woman and man with marriage. It is – other it is not clean. It is not good in divinely presence of Allāh and Prophet. This is our Lord's order. And He create us, He knows us, what we must do to be happy, to be clean, to be succeed for ākhirah.
Nowadays – before old days people they was not something like these days. Before maybe fifty or sixty years even, who want to marry, his family look for his wife and he
accept. Many of them accept, most of them accept and married and looking for his house, for his family, and they are ok. But now they are coming bombarding from shayṭān and he open whole sewage. He fall of this world with dirtiness. When man he married he not looking for his family to find good wife for him. No. He is looking and maybe he happy with shape but not looking at all for if it is suitable for him or not suitable. So after becoming problem when marriage because he will find another one also. Maybe he or she also now this is worst ladies also after ten years, twenty years, they are not happy with husband they are looking, crazy one, to find another one. And it is chance for them maybe they will never after find something good like before.
But even this not enough for shayṭān. He like to destroy whole this marriage for whole human being. And he succeed in Western or mostly in Western country because they are not believe in anything – just believing in ego. What their ego like, they can do everything. This is their now situation. But we are Muslim. We are not obeying thing the Creator not accept. Because Creator He create us like man and woman and He put rule and everybody it was thousand of years continue like this. But now they, it because it is the end of time, all this dirtiness Allāh allowed to for this people and shayṭān he is working very hard. He is not enough for him for this Western country, he want whole human being to finish marriage system. Even marriage system he want to make it different, out of normal. Not normal what they are doing. Normal to marry. Like as we said, marriage it is normal. After this it is nothing normal and it is cursed by Allāh, by prophets, by angels and whole human beings. This is what Prophet saying and when somebody is cursed it is the worst thing can happen for anybody to be cursed by Allāh ﷻ and by prophets. It is not joke. But who are not believing, they are free. But who believer, they must wake up because all sleeping and seeing not no any reflexing – reflection. No anything to say. Just seeing in TV or other ways this they make this law – they can do everything in this country. They make this law for other country also. They are, can make everything it is for them for shayṭān. We are not accepting and we are not happy with this. Only we must be wake up to be happy with our Lord and Prophet and not follow ego. Of course ego can be very strong. Sometimes maybe falling in love but you must keep your belief stronger than your love. Prophet saying who die from love – these days nobody die from love. Old time there was loving somebody and he died from love but this day nobody. Even Prophet saying: who die from love he is shahīd, he is martyr. So it meaning it is not – don't give any chance for your ego. Don't say: "okay little bit, little bit" and then after you finish. Be careful. For ladies and for man also because ladies also they are becoming – because as we said all sewage coming. Nobody can run away from this. So to must be clean, try to away this. Allāh help Muslim to fight against shayṭān and his follower and especially for our ego it is biggest enemy for us. Allāh help us, In Sha Allah.

21.DON’T BE AFRAID
Saturday, 20 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.
Old time people, I think holy Yunus Emre has a poem: "Look at what God does. Whatever He does, He does well." We are in the end of times. People are confused about what to do. Every day new things are coming up. They are afraid and worried. No need to be afraid. It is the will of Allāh. Be with Allāh and watch. You cannot do. anything. You cannot do anything but watch. Whatever comes, you should be with Allāh When you are with Allāh, you watch it like a movie and be in comfort. And if you don't think of Allāh, you will be in fear and trembling. "What will happen to us? Will they come here tomorrow? Will they take me away? Will I be foodless and drinkless? Will a bomb blow up? Will there be a war?" People are so worried.
Because it is the end of times, events are showing up and developing very quickly. Therefore, people get anxious. Who are anxious... People with faith shouldn't be anxious. People without belief fall into such anxiety that they think they can do something and try to change things. No. You think people are changing, and you are mistaken. It is the idea of shayṭān that you can change something. Even things that seem changeable, all of them are built according to this plan. Otherwise, it is impossible that a man tries to change something for better – it is only with the help of Allāh. What Allāh wants will happen. For deserving people it will still be with the will of Allāh. But as it is the end of times, every day there is a new event, a new incident now. They say global. Whole world is confused. Whole world is thinking at the same time "What shall we do?"
In old times, people were busy with work. Now they are not. Most people don't like working according to this new system. When it's not as they want, they don't work. They say there is no job. They attack the government and the leaders. We have nothing to do with them. What we say is: who is a believer should be relaxed. Believers should not be worried because it is the will of Allāh. It will be as Allāh wants, in shā’a Llāh. And we ask that Allāh help us. It is the end of times. May Allāh protect us. And what was promised to us appeared one by one.
People with faith, who believe in our Prophet and Allāh, wait for things told by our
Prophet. Qiyāmah is near. Most of the things he said have appeared. One part has yet to come. When that happens, Qiyāmah will come, with Allah's permission. Qiyāmah is nothing. In contrast, believers are waiting for that day. They are not afraid of that day. Because we seek refuge in Allāh's mercy on that day. We hope for intercession of our Prophet. Therefore, Allāh won't turn us away from His door. Allāh is Karīm. Allāh is Generous. Even a generous man doesn't turn away. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, who is the most generous of all, certainly will not turn us away from the door. Therefore, no need to be afraid. No need to worry. It is from the favours and beauties of īmān.
In Turkish there was one very famous poem he said, we let us – what happening, what is happen in this world it is make by Allāh and Allāh what He done He done nice, beautiful. Because this days he said only look and see, enjoy like this. Now we are living in day near end of the world. So every day a new thing coming. Everything, everyday a new news coming and people they are afraid. What will happen, what will? In this country you hear something happen other country also, other also. And now whole world they are listening and seeing what happen in any place in the world. And people they are becoming afraid. "What we will do?" they are asking. "What we this, what will happen?" Crisis there is war. There is maybe earthquake, maybe problem in everywhere. Every day new problem, new afraid for fear for people.
And but this for believer, as this big awliyā’u Llāh he said: "Don't be anxious, don't be afraid. Just look and see what happen. Don't do anything. You are believer and you believe what Allāh our God doing, He do the best." This is must be for each believer to think this, to not afraid from what happening in this time. Because this near Judgement Day and Prophet was telling us from his time until Qiyāmah what will happen. All one by his miracle he by one coming clearly. Now very few thing left to finish and it is this days what happening now. Because before twenty year or maybe eh before twenty year or twenty five, thirty year ago, if you say it will be like this they will be say for you you are crazy what happen now. But it is happen. In this world it is nothing impossible. Everything can be.
And Prophet he telling us about this and now coming everyday a new thing happening. But it is Prophet was telling us about this. So we must be more happy. Don't afraid from Judgement Day. Judgement Day not afraid for believer. Afraid, must be afraid who are not believer and they are denying. And they will be when they will be see it, they be shocked and no any chance more because Allāh give whole chance in this world and for only accept He say. "No. We are denying." Accept. "No we are denying." By stubborn like donkey not accept.
So it will be bad for them but for believer, as this poem saying, enjoy and see what will happen. What Allāh saying don't afraid. This is good tiding for believer also. For non- believer it is difficult, especially they are looking if anything happen for them, for their
place, for what they are doing. They are very afraid for this. They are dying every day hundred time from afraid but no benefit for them.
Allāh make us to reach days after these difficult days – day of Sayyidinā al-Mahdī ‘alayhi s- salām and Sayyidinā ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām and it will be real happiness, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
22.SCHOLARS ARE TWO TYPES Monday, 22 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.
“There are two types of scholars, and one is on the station of prophets,” says our Holy Prophet. The scholar who obeys Allah and leaves his ego for Allah is on the station of prophets. It is the hadith of our Holy Prophet: “Ulama’ ummati ka-anbiya bani israil – aw kama qal.”
“The scholars of my Nation are like the prophets of Bani Israil.” The highest station is still with scholars since there is no prophethood after our Holy Prophet.
He also says, “Ulama’ su.” There are bad scholars who are not good. They are ones who abide by their ego and do as their ego wants. They show the truth as falsehood. While all the scholars were calling something correct for years, they come up and show something else. And why is that? Not because of legal precedent (ijtihad) but completely because it is to their benefit and for their ego. So they may feed their ego and always make more money. They do not look at how many people are going astray. They do not care. They think the more people go after them the better. Our Holy Prophet says, “Punishment is twice as much for them.” Moreover, if they make people deviate and end on bad ways, they will get punished more for each man. They will get punished that much more as they will have as much sin as every man. That is why scholars or people studying knowledge should be careful of this. They should do it for the sake of Allah so their station would be with the prophets and they benefit people. It would firstly benefit themselves. For people on the true path, the greatest benefit would be for themselves. People who say things that do not exist for fame and money would gain profit for a short period, but essentially there would be lots of harm and loss. May Allah keep us safe from evil scholars, because they have multiplied in these times. There is no shortage of people who abide by their ego. Scholars, as we said, also have ego. Those whose egos are weak go after them. May Allah protect us all from their evils In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
23.TARIQA IS FOR TRAINING THE EGO Tuesday, 23 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.
Tariqa is for training the ego. A person enters the tariqa not to raise one’s ego but to lower one’s ego. Some people who enter tariqa in this day and age unknowingly raise their ego. They think their ego is finished when they enter tariqa. No, it attacks you more. The more you are on the right path, the more it attacks you.
The bad person’s ego does as it likes anyway. They go wild together. There is no need for it to attack that one. Things are going by themselves anyway. How do they say? Things are on track; it is going. It is the same with this. Things are on track with the ego and it is steering the man as it likes. It rides him like a donkey and is taking him where it wants. However, you entered tariqa to be saved. It knows this and is attacking that much more.
Of course, training the ego is not easy. Our Holy Prophet shows ego training and says, “Treat well the one who treats you badly, respect the one who does not respect you, give to the one who does not give you, and forgive the one who oppresses you.” So each of these is a very difficult thing, but they are necessary for ego training. People of this day and age do not even like the shaykh when he says something, and they stand up to him. Then they say they are in the tariqa. Alright, you can say, “I cannot do it. May Allah forgive me,” but to get up and directly be against it does not fit manners (adab). Tariqa is adab. Adab comes in first place in tariqa. The ego is trained with adab. It does not get trained with bad manners. You need to keep your manners.
This ego training, as we said, is not easy. It will slowly happen Inshallah, but you have to accept the advice. Firstly, you have to conform to manners and keep your manners. May Allah grant us all to be successful in training our ego. The person who trains it is acceptable in the sight of Allah and is a persona grata amongst people.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
24.YOU CANNOT ACT BASED ON DREAMS Wednesday, 24 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.
People see dreams but dreams are not for us to act upon. There are a couple of types of dreams. True dreams occur with prophets, pious (salih) ones, or saints (awliya). Regular people once in a while, meaning very rarely, see such dreams. People mostly see a dream having been effected by the events of a day. Then they cannot stir themselves and say, “I saw such and I will do as such.”
They say you cannot act based on dreams because dreams can be contradictory to religious law (sharia). Or people might see something they want according to their own head. Saying, “I will do as such,” does not work. Most people say, “I am under the influence of the dream and will do as such.” No, there is no need. There is no need if it does not fit sharia. However, if it fits and you want to offer prayer or fast, then there is no obstacle. But if you stir yourself and say, “I will shoot that one, I will break this,” then it does not work that way.
Dreams came instead of revelation for some prophets. They did not get revelation but they were told in dreams. There are also shaykhs and they can be seen in dreams. Then when they appear in front of you in substance you would say, “I saw this before. He called me and this and that.” So they also have disposition on dream. Shaitan also has disposition on dreams. Most dreams are shaitanic and we do not need to pay attention to them.
We should also not tell dreams to everybody, because it is Alah’s wisdom (hikma) - there is also wisdom in it - and it would happen as it is interpreted, as it is explained. Therefore, when you see a dream be grateful to Allah. When you see a bad dream, it would have no value nor any harm if you do not tell it. What is important is that it is not told and made public. When you are to tell it, tell it to someone you know or someone who knows how to interpret well. If not, it is better that it stays with you.
Allah has many hidden causes (hikam). Allah has lots of creation, beautiful things, that we can see and we cannot see. We need to do them as Allah prescribes and in the tongue of our Holy Prophet. If you do it you would be comfortable. If not, if you act without
doing it then you would be harmed. May Allah keep us safe. Let us pay attention to these matters. It happens a lot with us. If people keep acting based on dreams, in the end they either lose their mind or their religion becomes incomplete. May Allah keep us safe.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.WE DO NOT TRUST OUR OWN WORKS Friday, 26 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 that Allah Almighty created us from the Nation of (Ummat) Muhammad. Judaism is very strict as a religion, meaning its divine law (sharia) is strong. They have been living under a strict sharia until now. It was even stricter in the past. If one person did not perform worship in a village in the past, the whole village would face Allah’s fury and perish. Then Isa Alayhis Salam (Jesus Christ) came and it got a little softer.
It became even more merciful when our Holy Prophet came. The Jews would fast for six months. When our Holy Prophet ascended the Isra-Miraj we had fifty times [a day] prayer. He had met with Musa Alayhis Salam in the heavens. When he came and was asked, “What did your Lord gift you?” he said, “Fifty times prayer.” He (Musa AS) said, “They cannot bear it. My nation could not bear it either. You are Allah’s beloved servant. Ask for less.” He (the Prophet) said, “Forty-five.” “It is still undoable. They cannot bear it,” said he (Musa AS). Coming down five by five like this he got it down to five times. Musa Alayhis Salam said, “They cannot bear five times either.” “No, I am ashamed [to ask for less]. I cannot go in front of Allah,” said our Master. So Allah Azza wa Jalla was so merciful towards the Nation of Muhammad. He lightened our burden for the honor of our Holy Prophet. He lightened it but it is still hard for us if we are left with our own works.
Coming from Cyprus the other day, I filled a plastic bag with plenty of books and sent them with brothers since they were going to be heavy [for our allowance]. It has been sitting in the dergah for two months and I did not get a chance to take it out. When I took it out after sitting like that I found a handbook. In the last ten chapters the guys wrote a tafsir with useful information. I opened it and what do you know? A book by one of the known ones. There is no respect for anybody. It is a sin and shirk (associating partners) if you say, “For the honor of our Holy Prophet.” It is shirk if you visit the graves. There is no such thing as a holy night. Neither the night of Mawlid, it says, nor the night of Isra-Miraj, nor the Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr). Whereas they are all written in the Koran. No 15th of Shaban. It says no night is holy. Alright, we understand, everyone is responsible for their own actions and no one can make intercession it says.
