Suhbah 2018: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (4/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5504
It says there is no such thing as shafa’at. Whereas our Holy Prophet is “Shafi-e Mushaffa”. He will
both make intercession and ask Allah for intercession. Check that, we understand all this, then it shows how contradictory these writers are with each other. They say they did these and came to the Siraat (bridge over hell). It says on the Siraat 999 will fall in hell and one will pass. Then what will happen? There is another bridge. They interpreted it according to their own heads here.
“Yawma yukshafu ‘an saaq.” His calf will appear, be revealed. And whose calf is it? Allah’s calf. It cannot get any worse! They are the real ones of hell; they will fall in hell. [They say] then they will realize that it is Allah and pass.
O brainless one! What can we do if Allah has not given him brains? We have this fool Is’hak and he was saying the other day, “My mind is not sound so they will give me medicine in the hospital.” “No,” I said, “There is a cure for every disease, except for foolishness.” There is none if you are a fool. Allah created a cure for cancer, for diabetes, and everything but none for foolishness. They say, “Foolishness made the doctor give up.” They are also fools. Since so many people, all the people are falling in hell, why are there seven hells? It writes it there too. There are seven hells and eight paradises. So people who are going to paradise are more.
It is true in one sense, meaning if people are left with their own works, if they are left with what they have done, 999 would fall there. They would fall in hell, so they know that. Allah also showed the way of salvation for it. He said it is the shafa’at of the Prophet (SAW), the intercession of the awliya (saints), the repentance of people, and respecting things Allah loves. Those holy nights Allah granted people are times for repentance. Allah forgives millions of people on those nights. He makes millions of people bound to hell become bound to paradise. That is why it is true in one sense but they do not know it themselves either.
So if people are left with their own works, what they are saying is true, all of us will go to hell. However, we do not trust our own works and what we have done. What we have trust in is being the Nation of our Prophet, respecting him, and loving him. It says “People are with those whom they love”. These fools want to remove that love from inside of us. They want to remove that respect from amongst our Nation so they can all go to hell together. Shaitan will be happy and take pleasure that time. People will regret it then.
May Allah forbid, as we are saying, those who hear a couple of words hear it on TV now. There are plenty who appear on TV now. They say, “Beware of believing shaykhs!” They firstly start with tariqas and shaykhs. “Tariqas are scoundrels. Tariqas are useless. There is no need for them in religion,” they say. Then they started with mazhabs (schools of fiqh). They say, “There is no such thing as a mazhab. Everyone can do as they like.” They left mazhabs and this time they started not accepting the companions (sahaba). Now
they are not accepting hadiths. In the end they will not accept the Koran! This is where they will end. There is no other way. Allah forbid.
We are saying, “May Allah give them sense and intelligence,” because as we said they do not look like they can be fixed with medicine and what not. Because stubbornness is the greatest indicator of disbelief (kufr). The tyrant (jabbar) person does not listen to anybody, does not lend an ear to anybody, and is over critical. There is no obstinacy in the Muslim. He is content with the truth, he accepts the truth, and accepts justice. They say, “The finger which sharia cuts does not hurt.” The meaning is we accept and we are not being stubborn. May Allah increase this love of ours, and may our people be on this path Inshallah. May Allah help Islam and may unbelief go down In Sha Allah.

26.CERTAIN PROPHETS AND DAYS ARE MORE VIRTUOUS 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 we are the Nation (Ummah) of the highest of prophets.
“Wa laqad faddalna ba’dan nabiyyeena ‘ala ba’d.” (Sura Isra:55) “We have made some of the people and the prophets higher than others,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. The most high, the highest, of people is our Holy Prophet. Thank Allah we are from his Nation. Allah gave him the highest of everything. He will be the first to enter paradise and the first to rise on the Day of Judgment. To turn face from him would be foolishness.
Allah gave the most beautiful of days to our Holy Prophet. Friday is the most virtuous day of the week. He reserved it for our Holy Prophet. “That day is a holiday for him and his Nation,” says He. Its night is also one of the holy nights. There are holy days within the year, but every week Friday night and Friday are holy. Our Holy Prophet says, “There is no questioning for the one who dies on that day.” Since that day is a virtuous day, Allah treats those who die on that day differently.
You can do more worship on that day as it is more virtuous. We do more of tasbihat (praising) as well. Of course, the day has its own duties. Doing them means gaining rewards. May our account book be filled with those good deeds. Recite more salawat on our Holy Prophet. It is also a sunna to perform ghusl (full-body ablution) on that day. Our Holy Prophet tells us to do so. It is a lot of rewards every time you do it. Do not neglect these. Do not say, “This is enough.” Do as much as you can do.
Then there is the time of answering on this day. They make dua and duas are accepted. Allah accepts the dua when it falls on that time and gives you whatever you are asking for. Anyway, the dua of people whose duas are accepted find an answer sometimes in this world and sometimes in the hereafter. However, duas of Friday night are more acceptable. Therefore, if you honor that day, for the sake of that day you would attain what you ask for.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He has rendered certain days and prophets more virtuous over others. But ignorant people say, “Do not honor it. Do not do anything.” They say,
“Do not honor a day, a month, or a person!” Do not listen to them. They are ignorant. They are doing what Shaitan wants. They themselves do what Shaitan is unable to do. May Allah keep us safe from them and their evils. May they also be reformed. May Allah reform them.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
27.RECOGNIZE YOUR FAULTS TO PROGRESS TOWARDS PERFECTION Sunday, 28 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 thinks everything to do with him is fine: everything he does is fine and he himself does it best. People do not accept fault, but others see your fault and either blame you or throw it in your face. And you know the one who does this not as a pal and a friend but as an enemy.
Pals do not tell a person’s fault much, but when this is the case people think they are right. Therefore, do not get upset when someone tells you a word [you do not like]. Think, “He saw what I did not see. This means I have faults. I have faults that these people see. Let me fix them.” So people should not see it as a punishment but as a blessing (nima) from Allah. The one across might tell you things you have no idea about, since he is looking for your faults to throw it in your face. He wants to harm you. Whereas, if you fix it when you learn about it, he would be unknowingly doing you good.
Son of man is used to comfort and laziness. If something does not warn you, you would be left as you are. You would stay the same for a hundred years. As we said, people are incomplete and need to progress towards perfection (kamal). What is meant by perfection is to recognize one’s mistakes and flaws in order to be complete. He rises if he recognizes those faults and reforms them. It is the same way with everything. It is the same way for a single person, for society, and for the state. The state has an administration and against them is the opposition. What is meant by the opposition are those who say they know it all better, or whose duty is to remind the administration of their shortcomings and mistakes.
That is the job of the opposition. It is an official duty. If there is a mistake in what the administration says, there is the opposition to correct it. If not, if there is no mistake then they are still there to do their job. We are giving this as an example of how people are the same way. In front of the enormous state and the administration is an opposition that curses, throws in their face all kinds of mistakes and blames, and does as much as it can do. When they tell you something [you do not like], it is an opposition. You need to think,
“Their duty is to warn me and make me better.” Do not look at them as the enemy and do not bear a grudge. People should thank each other. The awliya (saints) and great people used to do this. Sometimes people tell them a bad word or write them a letter, and they would say, “Son, thank you very much. What you are saying is right. We did not know this. Inshallah we will also do it. May Allah be content with you. You did not say enough.”
However, people of this day and age neither recognize flaw nor accept fault. There is nobody better than them. That is why they always walk around with anger and full of animosity inside. Whereas as we said, it is better to turn everything good. We need to pay attention to this so our inside is not full of grudge and animosity but with goodness. That time there would be relief. Otherwise there would be no relief but always distress. May Allah help us In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
28.DO NOT MAKE PROMISES YOU CANNOT KEEP Monday, 29 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.
As our Shaykh Baba says, this is chitchat, so we need to say what is necessary. You need to keep your promise in Islam. It says, “Those who do not keep their word are hypocrites (munafiqs).” One of the characteristics of munafiqs is not keeping their promise.
Make a promise on any matter if you are going to keep it. If you are not going to be able to keep it you should say, “I will not be able to do it. I am not making a promise.” This is the case with everything. It is so in shopping and in other topics as well. You are to help someone and you promise them but you do not do it. This is the case in every way, but people mostly break their promise when it comes to money. They avoid you, they do not keep their promise, and they do not give people their dues.
Now there is a case with trade. When you trade, of course you will negotiate and what not. You pay whatever you agree on. Then there is the case where someone does not have the means to trade by oneself, he introduces an owner of goods to a buyer, and goods are bought as a result. He also has a share as a result of this. They can agree as, “You will give me 1%, 2%...” and it is his right. It is not injust. It is not a bribe. It is lawful (halal) money. Because the other person is unable to do it by himself. If he does not buy it from you, there are a thousand other people waiting to sell their goods. He could have took him to someone else and gotten his money. Therefore, this is a right and the person who infringes on rights will not see good. He will be questioned in the hereafter: you infringed on the rights of this person, you stole, and so you have to account for it.
So people mix some things up in religion. They mix the lawful (halal) with the unlawful (haram), yet this is halal. He introduced people to each other and made them reach an agreement. When someone says, “I’m selling this house for you and such a percentage is mine. I’m selling this land or I’m selling these goods...” it is unfair for the other person not to give him his share. We certainly need to be careful of this. Now in End Times, people think of everything as profit, everything is halal. There is no such thing. It is shameful not to keep your promise when you make a promise to someone about goods or otherwise. You would be cheating him of his rights, you would be steeling. You would account for it in the hereafter. And in this world you would have no blessing (baraka)
left in your work because you would be cursed. Instead of giving one percent, Allah would take away all your money. Allah forbid.
Therefore, we need to be careful. Do not talk empty words and do not promise things you are not be able to do. May Allah grant people to look after the rights of others, and may He not make us eat haram In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
29.ABSOLUTELY MANNERS, ABSOLUTELY MANNERS Tuesday, 30 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: “Addabani Rabbi fa-ahsana ta’dibi.” This is one of the most beautiful sayings of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Of course, all of our Master’s (SAW) words are beautiful but regarding good manners (adab) he says, “Allah made me mannered. He taught me manners. You can find the best manners in me.”
Manners come before knowledge. People need to learn manners first and then knowledge. They used to call it “discipline and education” (tarbiya-talim). Discipline and manners first, then education, meaning teaching knowledge. They took it away now and did not leave anything called adab. No manners and respect are left, neither amongst each other nor towards educators. This is the case in all schools. However, madrasas need to have adab. There is no use of knowledge out of a person with no manners. Therefore, he needs to learn manners throughout life then he can learn knowledge.
Of course, people who comply by their ego and love their ego think they are above everybody else. They say, “No need to show them respect.” They immediately see themselves as superior and say, “Everybody needs to follow me and learn what I am saying.” No, it is never like that. Our Shaykh Mawlana was dwelling on adab most during his last days. He would say this so many times: “Knowledge is backmost; absolutely manners, absolutely manners”. Adab is first and foremost. Knowledge would be pleasant once manners are present. Shaitan’s knowledge is more than all of us, he has more knowledge than all people, but once he did not have adab he became a shaitan (devil).
We need to pay attention to this. People of tariqa need to pay more attention to it. “I am superior if I know a couple of words!” No. Mind your manners, be well-behaved, then this knowledge would be beneficial. As we said, even if you know all the knowledge in the world, if you do not have manners you would also come out as a devil and make people worse than Shaitan. Therefore, do not get close to a person without manners. Do not try to learn something from that person.
You can only learn adab from bad manners because their situation is bad. People like manners because of this. When they see the ill-mannered, they see what a beautiful thing manners are and become mannered. So a person who looks with a learning eye can even take lesson from that. May Allah grant us all to be from His mannered servants In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
30.DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS Wednesday, 31 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, in fact all people, think they know everything and want to say their opinion. This is a trick and a means of Shaitan. It is a trick to ruin people. Allah assigned everyone a duty and everyone should mind their business. People need to do whatever fits their nature and personality. It is no use if you interfere in others’ business and stick your nose in matters you do not understand. It would be harmful rather than beneficial because it is business you do not know about.
We read the hadith of our Holy Prophet. He says, “Do not make comparison,” meaning do not compare. What is meant by comparison is acting as if you know saying, “You do this because it is better. This is more appropriate.” Do not stick your head and nose into something you do not know!
Our Holy Prophet says, “The first creature to make comparison was Shaitan because he interfered with Allah Azza wa Jalla’s work.” “You made Adam – he does not say Adam Alayhis Salam – from earth, mud. I am made from fire. Fire is superior,” he said. So he is making comparison here as, “This is better and that is worse.”
The knowledge of Allah Exalted and Glorious be He does not have a limit. Interfering in His knowledge and making comparison is complete foolishness. He whispers to people in the same way and instils it in them as, “You are better than that one. You understand better. This man cannot do his job. Caution him. Shame him. Bad mouth him.” He instils amongst people these works of Shaitan. This, as we said, is for normal worldly affairs. It does not exist in religion, in Islam. Olden imams did not think so much about olden scholars, but these few eccentrics disapprove of them, then they make comparison and give ideas.
Allah gave those men such intelligence and such an eye, their heart’s eye was open, that they made Allah’s religion reach us in the cleanest way. The Day of Judgment is near anyway. If it was not near, if there was a hundred thousand years left, again those words they uttered and the books they wrote could go on without anything going missing. That is why to go up and compare yourself with them is foolishness. If everyone knew their
place and did not make comparison, they would be at ease, and others would be at ease and not follow Shaitan.
He who does not know his place is Shaitan. Allah gave him what he deserves. Let us not dirty our mouth and use bad language early in the morning. Allah already gave him what he is deserving of and worthy of. Those who follow him become the same way. That which Shaitan is worthy of touches those who do as he does.
We need to be careful, as it is not good to immediately shoot off one’s mouth about everything. Because there is a capacity you see while other people’s could be greater. If you are able to lift one kilogram, he can lift a hundred thousand tons, like a big crane. Accordingly, it is foolishness to compare yourself with him. You would be crushed away or you could injure yourself here and there trying to lift it. May Allah keep us safe. May we mind our manners Inshallah. Manners are important.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
31.I AM NOT TIRED FROM CLEANING THEM Thursday, 1 February 2018
Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Madad.
In Sha Allah, we make ṣuḥbah. After we make khatm, In Sha Allah.
Alhamdulilah, we meet again because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla give everybody life. Only He know when it will be finish. We cannot say, "We meet you next time." You must say, " In Sha Allah". If Allāh He want, we meet, In Sha Allah, many times, In Sha Allah until Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām coming. And it is, I think, time for him, time for Mahdī ‘alayhi s- salām to clean the dirtiness of sins in this world. He is coming for clean, make clean.
Our religion, religion of cleanness. First lesson for Muslim – ṭahārah cleanness. You must be clean, clean yourself from dirty who you can see it, and clean yourself from the real dirty – the sins. Sin, it is exactly the dirt. Other dirt – if anything you have in your clothes, on yourself, it is easy, easy, very easy to clean it. You clean it by water, clean it by soap. You clean it by earth, with ashes. It clean. It is going, not staying on yourself. But to clean yourself from sin, it is difficult. It is sticking on ourself. To clean it with water you cannot. If you go whole sea coming on you, it is not clean you because it is inside yourself. Your ego, shayṭān make it as if you not have it. You can die – this is what they imagine. They... people they like their sin. They said we want to get rid of from this sin but if they want, they must be quickly finish. But sin become for them sweet; become for them something cannot live without it. You seeing from other people, they are doing or hearing and people one by one coming more and more.
And as people seeing this so they thought it is from our original being. No. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create us. You see baby when he born from his mother how he is innocent, how he is pure, how he is mercy, nice beautiful for everybody. Baby like this. After this becoming his family to make him good or not good. But most of people they are not looking. So our original for human being clean, innocent. This is what original – not to be bad attribute, bad action. No. But people, shayṭān and his follower, showing us bad – "this is real, this is what you must do. Don't do what you have in original, what Allāh He create for you. Put as much you put sin and dirty on yourself." It is like Mawlānā Shaykh saying for rat. Rat in sewage. They are coming, they are living there. This million of rats living in sewage under cities. They are happy. This good? No. Anybody like to catch rat and put in his, with him? Nobody. They only if he they can, they throw him away. But for other, like cat, they can put because it's clean. So bad thing. If people even they make, they said no. This even in cartoon they make this rat dirty thing even they make them like good thing. They are putting everything in small detail, small thing,
they are thinking for everything they are not leaving anything for people to run away from this to make themself as they are right. No right.
But Prophets they bring from Allāh especially last Prophet, Muḥammad. He said, "Ad- dīn aṭ-ṭahārah" – Religion is cleanness. This is very important, And, as we said, to clean dirtiness is easy but for clean this dirtiness also, if not following your ego, it is very easy to clean it. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying: our... "My servant, they are not tiring from making sins, making dirt, and I'm not tiring from cleaning them." When He said, "Make tawbah, repent," we may say, "Allāh forgive us – astaghfiru Llāh." All this dirtiness going. Not only going, going, Allāh change it to rewarding you. What you done from bad thing and you repent and ask forgiveness from Allāh, Allāh He will change it to reward for you. This is our Lord. We must be, not be hopeless – "Rabbun ghafūr". "Rabbun ghafūr" meaning for He is forgive us, our Lord forgive us. He is good tiding from Prophet. And Allāh sending Prophet mercy for whole human being, for whole creatures.
Whole creatures, they are knowing Prophet but human being not knowing and not respecting. And he is doing everything to save his ummah. We must be thankful for Allāh and ask hidāyah (guidance) for people who are not respecting Prophet. Sin only not to respect Prophet. This is also from sin because Allāh respect Prophet and He give him shafā‘ah (intercession) to ask mercy for us from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And it is real thing. We must look for shafā‘ah for Prophet because – I recently read one of this book for people who are not accepting shafā‘ah, saying, "Don't respect anyone. Don't respect any grave, don't respect holy night. Don't respect this and that." And after they said, "Everybody by his what he do, what he will, Allāh He will reward him." Okay. Until now of course this is not real. After this they said, they will in Qiyāmah, in Judgement Day, Allāh will make people to go through bridge ṣirāṭ. And this bridge it is very sharp, very narrow. Some people quickly can pass through this bridge. Many people they will fall. Under hell fire – it is real. Not what they said. This is what Prophet saying also.
And here the most important point they said, "From each thousand people, nine hundred ninety-nine will fall in hell." Only one can survive. This is what we are asking for help from Prophet; asking his shafā‘ah, asking his help to make us fly from this bridge. Without him, nobody can survive. If they said only one, only one, one also maybe cannot survive. With our what we are doing – nothing. What we are doing all rubbish because we are not sincere like ṣaḥābah, like other. All what we do we are doing – wrong, but only imitating. Prophet we love him and he said he will make shafā‘ah for people who love him, who ask shafā‘ah for him, from him. He will make help for us, In Sha Allah.
Ṭarīqah, Sharī‘ah, it is on this point – this is Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jamā‘ah. The praised one, Prophet he said follow this people. This is our belief, our i‘tiqād. We are in middle – "kuntum ummatan wasaṭa". You must be in middle. Don't be one side or other side. If
you are in middle, you are in safe, you are in blessed place. You don't make quarrelling with anybody. You are not make people to be angry with you. Only you are by self you helping Muslim, you helping other people. This is what Prophet– "Al-muslimu man salima lmuslimūna min lisānihi wa yadihi." Prophet saying: "Muslim who people they are safe from his hand, from his tongue." You must be merciful. You must be polite. You must be respect one. But other one, who are extreme, even in that side or other side, all you you see their face – they are angry face. ‘Abūsu l-wajih karīhu l-manẓar – Mawlānā Shaykh was saying for this angry face, ugly face. This is what Mawlānā Shaykh was saying every time for this people. Our people they said you must be happy. Don't be angry face. Must be look for your brother with mercy, with smiling – asking about health, about what he is doing. But not to be angry for anybody. Prophet saying to smile for your Muslim brother – it is also ṣadaqah (charity).
How this people they are – of course this people they are not accepting ḥadīth now. They are not accepting. Now coming a new fashion. First they was angry, not accepting ṭarīqah people. After ṭarīqah they are not accepting madhhab. They said, "What is this madhhab? No need for madhhab. Everybody can make fatwá for himself." Third thing now not accepting ḥadīth. They said, "Ḥadīth all not important. Only we are for Qur’ān we are asking. What we ask, we look in Qur’ān." How you, we can find from Qur’ān? How many rak‘ah you must pray? How you must make wudū’? How you everything, Prophet he is saying. So now three, three things – one, ṭarīqah finish. They, for them other sharī‘ah also because sharī‘ah – madhhab. Madhhab also [they are] not accepting. After then not accepting ḥadīth. Prophet and for ‘ulamā’ – who not accepting ḥadīth they are kāfir, out of religion. Why they are out of religion? Because fourth thing they will do they will not accept Qur’ān also.
This is real big mindless, stupid people. But they are, who are doing this, they are cheating people and people, who are they not have thinking, they don't have mind, they believe them. But the real one who are beginning this fitnah, they are knowing what they are doing. They want to destroy Islām. But Islām, our religion, protected from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and as much they can do, they only they will be minority. Majority even they are not have voice, high voice, but majority as Prophet– "kūnū ma‘a s-sawādu l- a‘ẓam" – "Be with majority". And majority they are in middle – people who are not extreme. They are, because they are calm people, they are not making trouble, people they thought they are less and other, they make trouble, they make problem, shouting so people they thought they are majority. No. They are very few and it is this time, because time of end of time, they are more because they must when Mahdī ‘alayhi s- salām coming to clean them, they must appear – for this is this time they are going looking more and more.
Allāh save us and save Muslims from this bad people they are followers of shayṭān. Only this what we say, we can say. And as they said, they will fall from this bridge to hell.
Because they not accepting help from Prophet so they can help themself. Allāh give hidāyah for everybody. We are when we make du‘ā’ we must make du‘ā’, good du‘ā’ for everybody. Allāh make hidāyah and Allāh save Muslim people from these people.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
32.THE BEAUTY OF ṬARIQAH Saturday, 3 February 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, Sayyidinā ‘Abdu l-Qādir Jīlānī, Sayyidinā Mu‘īn d-Dīn Chishtī Hazretleri.
Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh for ṭarīqat. Ṣuḥbah meaning to be happy with each other, to say something benefit. Prophet saying, "Say good thing. If you are not saying, be quiet." For this when somebody getting angry, if he not shouting, Allāh [will] reward him. Be quiet. When angry, people they are saying not good thing. So we, in shā’a Llāh, be control ourself. All ṭarīqah they are teaching us this – to be obey for Allāh, for Prophet, and for mashāyikh. If you be obedient for your ego you will be in trouble. Don't obey ego. Don't obey shayṭān. Don't obey bad people. You must follow ṭarīqah. This is the important thing, most important thing. Nowadays the people they are attacking, the most attacking thing – ṭarīqah. Ṭarīqah people they are attacked. Ṭarīqah what they are order? Ordering good thing.
Sayyidinā ‘Abdu l-Qādir Jīlānī he is Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. When he was young his mother sent him for learning and she give him money. Tell him, "Don't – I will tell you something, teach you something – don't say lie any time." And in the road there was, this old time, robbers robbing and they cut his, in this with caravan, and they was taking from all of them their money. After they come, he was small young so they are not suspecting he will be have any money. And the chief of this theives, he ask him, "Do you have any money?" [If] he said 'no', they will not looking because he is small boy and nothing, look poor. He said, "Yes I have," and he, "They give me this." They look it's really. He ask him, "Why you say this and you cannot, you can save your money because you are, we are not suspect for you you have money?" He said, "Because I'm obeying my mother and she is saying truth, teach me right thing. Even you take whole money it's not important. I'm not losing my belief, not losing my honour. Because to be liar it is the worst thing." And Allāh make this theif to be regret and become in right way from this barakah of Sayyidinā ‘Abdu l-Qādir Jīlānī from his childhood.
This is teaching and there was also, mā shā’a Llāh, tonight Sayyidinā Shāhu ‘Alā’ – you hear about him. He is your Chishtī big imām Shaykh, mashāyikh Chishtī . He is grandson of Niẓāmu d-Dīn Awliyā’. He live one hundred twenty five years old. He this karāmah
for awliyā’. After hundred year, his teeth coming again and his hair becoming black again. Until one hundred twenty five year he was serving. He was in Chishtī ṭarīqah but before he was, when he was young, taṣarruf of awliyā’, he hear something pulling him from his father and grandfather, something pulling him and he by force he find himself going to one other place another city or village. They was Shaykh there also from Chishtī ṭarīqah – he was calling him. And when he arrive near village, he meet him and he was also teaching him many years. He was happy there and after his Shaykh tell him: "Somebody want you. Go quickly to your place to Agra." And he was going. In his way, hearing: "I want you and need you. Coming quickly, come quickly." When he arrive Agra, he find his grandfather he pass away. And they said: "Make waṣiyyah to be his khalīfah." And from that time he was teaching and collecting these murīd follower of his grandfather to not go to be divided.
And Allāh give him this long life he was serving for Allāh. He has two sons, they was passing away in his life. Many grandchildren passing away in his life. And he was never crying for them because he know their place and he know this is from Allāh and Allāh He is the best looking for them. Not – from his īmān from his belief – even he make one cemetery only for his family. This is some awliyā’ they can carry this, they are happy with this. Only one grandson he was alive and he give him, make him tarbiyah (training) and make him to be Shaykh. And also he was after him looking for ṭarīqah and staying like this.
And for these days we see, mā shā’a Llāh, millions of, this ṭarīqah, ten millions people they are following. From what? From their good behave and from their obedience, obedient for Allāh not for themself. If anybody he was for himself, he cannot survive with whole his family to be dying and he is looking for them one after one and one after one. This is big ṣabr (patience) and big accepting what Allāh give him. Ṭarīqah it is teaching good thing, teaching belief, īmān with sometimes with karāmah (miracles), sometimes without karāmah also. The people asking for karāmah but blind people they cannot see. If they see, they are not happy. For Prophet, he has a thousand of mu‘jizah. For Prophet we say mu‘jizah, for awliyā’ karāmah, karāmāt. Mu‘jizāt Prophet thousands. Until now still continuing until Qiyāmah. Mu‘jizāt Prophet because what he saying, appearing one by one, one by one. And when you read ḥadīth about signs of Qiyāmah, you are astonishing. Exactly he Prophet saying what happen, what will be happen these days – for human being how they will be going down and down, "asfala s-sāfilīn" (95:5). Not going up. The people, they are thinking we are in top of civilisation going up. No. This civilisation taking you down to where it is like well. Old time they was using well for dirty. This also, going for not clean water, dirty water they are going. This is from what they don't behave good, they don't have anything to make people better. Make them worse.
Ṭarīqah respect and to be accept and to be patient and to be mercy for others – not only for human being, for everything, for all creatures. Even creature we say like wheat, like tree, like water – all this creature from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is give us. We must look for them. But these days, people they are from shayṭān taking lesson and he is teaching them the first thing to make judgement. Prophet saying "Don't make judgement. Don't compare." First one he compare – he was shayṭān. This is ḥadīth of Prophet. Because he [shayṭan] said, "He Ādam from mud You make him and I'm from fire. I'm better." And this is for people also. He teach them, shayṭān, for this. He said, "I'm better than this people. They are not knowing anything from Sharī‘ah, not knowing anything from Islām." When you say this you are finish. Don't say anything for anybody. Only you look for yourself. When you are looking for ourself, we cannot look for another because we are full of fault. We are full of wrong thing. You can, if you see yourself, you cannot say for anybody – "This is not good, this is... I'm better than him."
But when you are in way of shayṭān, even you are you know whole Qur’ān, you know whole ‘ulūm (sciences), you will be no any benefit for you, not benefit for others. First the good behave – adab. First thing for mu’min for Muslim because Prophet was like this. With adab, teaching us. But other people, first shayṭān they teaching people to be no good behave. This is what we are looking, we are seeing. First thing they are attacking ṭarīqah people. Ṭarīqah people they are connecting all for Prophet– from Shaykh after Shaykh after Shaykh – connecting like chain for Prophet.
So this first one they are making people to run away from ṭarīqah. They said, "This is not good. This is shirk. We must be away from this." When they finish from this, because most people they say, "No need for ṭarīqah, no any benefit for ṭarīqah." Second thing they are saying, "What is madhhab?" They attacking madhhab and whole madhhab imāms, they are following Prophet and his way, especially Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah Imāmu A‘ẓam, Sayyidinā Imāmu Shāfi‘ī Hazretleri. When Imām Abū Ḥanīfah pass away, he was same day he born. And he was student for Sayyidinā Ḥāmid he is student of Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah seven years. And he said, "If I write maybe one library from this ‘ulūm [of] Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah." For this they saying he is "Imāmu A‘ẓam" and he is following Sayyidinā Ja‘far aṣṢādiq – one of our silsilah, Naqshbandī silsilah he is. So for this also not happy with madhhab. They are saying no need for madhhab. They attacking especially Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah. They are most attacked one by these people. And when you see some people they are attacking by this shayṭān people, you know he is the best. So after this now they are new coming thing – not accepting ḥadīth. Saying, they saying Qur’ān enough. And who say this, many ‘ulamā’ of Ahlu s-Sunnah, they said he is out of Islām religion. He have many kind of this people who are out of Islām but they are looking like Islām. Because when you are denying something you are not acceptable.
This is what happen now after, first aim for themself – ṭarīqah, after madhhab, after Prophet's ḥadīth. After ḥadīth they will – what will do what they will do? They will deny Qur’ān because also from Prophet he saying. This is the end of them. The thing from beginning, their aim to destroy Islām because ṭarīqah it is first effort for Islām – defending Islām, the spiritual spirit of Islām. Without this they are like dead body. They are, people afraid from them. But when you are with spiritually of ṭarīqah, coming for any place become nice, become happiness that place. For this we are asking people to be stable in ṭarīqah and to bring their children to ṭarīqah, to not make it not useless. There is thousand thing – no need in this for people to do it. But the most important thing – ṭarīqah. It is most important one. We must catch ṭarīqah like life jacket – to be safe here and hereafter. Because here also, who are not in ṭarīqah – we are seeing many children they are for adventure, like now until now, we see someone shayṭān – he called Che Guevara. They put his picture in their t-shirt everything and he is not Muslim, he is not believer even. People they love him for the adventure.
And now they make this thing for Jihād for to fight – like it is good thing. But when they are going there, they will be regret and they cannot go back. If you go back, problem in their country. If they stay there, they will be killed or they will be at the end not good because oppressor not good. Allāh punish them here and hereafter. No victory for them. So we must be tell our children about ṭarīqah, about the beauty of ṭarīqah. Because ṭarīqah believing for ākhirah. Who are not in, other people, they are finish. They are not looking. They are only sad for dunyā and they are angry for dunyā, they are unhappy for dunyā. But when you are in ṭarīqah and you are real belief, it is not important for you – dunyā. Dunyā only in your hand, not in your side. You can leave it anywhere, any time. And it is like this because you don't know when you are be die. Not looking for age – maybe you are eighty year, near hundred year, but who are in ten year he can die before you. It's not by your will and you don't know, nobody knows, when it is it will be. So, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh help us to ...
G: Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’ Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim Adil al-Ḥaqqānī Muḥammad Nāẓim Adil al-Ḥaqqānī.
ShM: We are respecting all awliyā’u Llāh, all ṭarīqah. We are happy with them. Al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are seeing this also in everywhere. Before there was shayṭān also putting between ṭarīqah also something but now, Alhamdulilah, we are seeing – because this attacking from shayṭān people – ṭarīqah people, they are happy with each other. Alhamdulilah, Allāh make us more love for each other. This is Prophet what he say: you must be love your brother more than yourself. And for ṭarīqah people, they are real brothers. Others we are make du‘ā’ for them so Allāh give them hidāyah to come to right way. Right way – way of Prophet, way of mashāyikh, way of ṣaḥābah. No other way. We are in the middle – not in extreme place. We are in middle and Prophet he is merciful and he said you be with middle, in the middle, you will be saved. Allāh save us here and
hereafter. In Sha Allah, will be in Jannat Firdaws with neighbor for Prophet, with mashāyikh, In Sha Allah.

33.THE OTTOMANS Monday, 5 February 2018
Our ṭarīqah, Naqshbandī ṭarīqah, main two pillars: one to give speech, other to gathering with good people. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are here. Thank you for all people coming here, attending this event. And they were saying subject of this, to speak about Ottomans.
Ottomans, they are rulers from followers of Prophet since his descendants coming one after one. Sayyidinā Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān, ‘Alī; all these, they are Sulṭān also. They are real Sulṭān, Sulṭān for this world and for other world also. We are calling ṣaḥābah Sulṭān also. Sulṭān meaning as the king. Amīru l-Mu’minīn meaning Sulṭān for all mū’minīn (believers) and others also. Because when they are conquering some place, they are asking people to give tax. If they not like to change their religion, when they give tax, they have right more than Muslim. They must defend on them, they must look for them what they need. All, everything they have right even I say more than Muslim.
The state of Islām – after ṣaḥābah coming Umawīn – it is nearly 150 years. And they were also ruling but we don't know much thing about them because history not write until ‘Abbāsīyin for Islamic. So everybody saying different things about them. Some of them saying Umawīn they were racist – only for Arab making more value. No Arab, they must... Even for praying they were putting them behind. This is what we hear. But Allāh knows better. After this coming ‘Abbāsīyin and they were, some of them, strong Sulṭān, some of them like puppet. Also coming until Ottomans. When Sulṭān Salīm he went to Egypt, conquered Egypt, take from them, they were ‘Abbāsīyin but of course only by name. And Islamic world was miserable. When Ottomans take over, nothing they were before they take over even. Before become Khalīfah, they were taking over all these Ḥijāz – Makkah, Madīnah – all this area. But to be Khalīfah they must take this from Khalīfah, give them. They were not for any material thing, they want this because they had everything. Only for protect this ummah, to unite them under flag of Prophet by justice.
And they was – he by himself – Ottoman kings they were fighting in front of soldiers. They were same with soldiers, not afraid or not running away. So they were going from Palestine to Egypt by Sinai. And Sinai, it is very difficult desert, no water, nothing so you must go quickly. Sulṭān he come down from his horse and beginning to walk. His wazīr, Prime Minister, looking. He's going, going. He said maybe after little bit, he will ride horse and we continue to finish this desert quickly but still going. So he said: around these people they were complaining, asking what happened because when he come down, all of them come down. Sulṭān walking, all army they must walk. And when he arrive to him, he see him crying and ask him, "What are you doing? This army, they are complaining." He

It says there is no such thing as shafa’at. Whereas our Holy Prophet is “Shafi-e Mushaffa”. He will
both make intercession and ask Allah for intercession. Check that, we understand all this, then it shows how contradictory these writers are with each other. They say they did these and came to the Siraat (bridge over hell). It says on the Siraat 999 will fall in hell and one will pass. Then what will happen? There is another bridge. They interpreted it according to their own heads here.
“Yawma yukshafu ‘an saaq.” His calf will appear, be revealed. And whose calf is it? Allah’s calf. It cannot get any worse! They are the real ones of hell; they will fall in hell. [They say] then they will realize that it is Allah and pass.
O brainless one! What can we do if Allah has not given him brains? We have this fool Is’hak and he was saying the other day, “My mind is not sound so they will give me medicine in the hospital.” “No,” I said, “There is a cure for every disease, except for foolishness.” There is none if you are a fool. Allah created a cure for cancer, for diabetes, and everything but none for foolishness. They say, “Foolishness made the doctor give up.” They are also fools. Since so many people, all the people are falling in hell, why are there seven hells? It writes it there too. There are seven hells and eight paradises. So people who are going to paradise are more.
It is true in one sense, meaning if people are left with their own works, if they are left with what they have done, 999 would fall there. They would fall in hell, so they know that. Allah also showed the way of salvation for it. He said it is the shafa’at of the Prophet (SAW), the intercession of the awliya (saints), the repentance of people, and respecting things Allah loves. Those holy nights Allah granted people are times for repentance. Allah forgives millions of people on those nights. He makes millions of people bound to hell become bound to paradise. That is why it is true in one sense but they do not know it themselves either.
So if people are left with their own works, what they are saying is true, all of us will go to hell. However, we do not trust our own works and what we have done. What we have trust in is being the Nation of our Prophet, respecting him, and loving him. It says “People are with those whom they love”. These fools want to remove that love from inside of us. They want to remove that respect from amongst our Nation so they can all go to hell together. Shaitan will be happy and take pleasure that time. People will regret it then.
May Allah forbid, as we are saying, those who hear a couple of words hear it on TV now. There are plenty who appear on TV now. They say, “Beware of believing shaykhs!” They firstly start with tariqas and shaykhs. “Tariqas are scoundrels. Tariqas are useless. There is no need for them in religion,” they say. Then they started with mazhabs (schools of fiqh). They say, “There is no such thing as a mazhab. Everyone can do as they like.” They left mazhabs and this time they started not accepting the companions (sahaba). Now
they are not accepting hadiths. In the end they will not accept the Koran! This is where they will end. There is no other way. Allah forbid.
We are saying, “May Allah give them sense and intelligence,” because as we said they do not look like they can be fixed with medicine and what not. Because stubbornness is the greatest indicator of disbelief (kufr). The tyrant (jabbar) person does not listen to anybody, does not lend an ear to anybody, and is over critical. There is no obstinacy in the Muslim. He is content with the truth, he accepts the truth, and accepts justice. They say, “The finger which sharia cuts does not hurt.” The meaning is we accept and we are not being stubborn. May Allah increase this love of ours, and may our people be on this path Inshallah. May Allah help Islam and may unbelief go down In Sha Allah.

26.CERTAIN PROPHETS AND DAYS ARE MORE VIRTUOUS 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 we are the Nation (Ummah) of the highest of prophets.
“Wa laqad faddalna ba’dan nabiyyeena ‘ala ba’d.” (Sura Isra:55) “We have made some of the people and the prophets higher than others,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla. The most high, the highest, of people is our Holy Prophet. Thank Allah we are from his Nation. Allah gave him the highest of everything. He will be the first to enter paradise and the first to rise on the Day of Judgment. To turn face from him would be foolishness.
Allah gave the most beautiful of days to our Holy Prophet. Friday is the most virtuous day of the week. He reserved it for our Holy Prophet. “That day is a holiday for him and his Nation,” says He. Its night is also one of the holy nights. There are holy days within the year, but every week Friday night and Friday are holy. Our Holy Prophet says, “There is no questioning for the one who dies on that day.” Since that day is a virtuous day, Allah treats those who die on that day differently.
You can do more worship on that day as it is more virtuous. We do more of tasbihat (praising) as well. Of course, the day has its own duties. Doing them means gaining rewards. May our account book be filled with those good deeds. Recite more salawat on our Holy Prophet. It is also a sunna to perform ghusl (full-body ablution) on that day. Our Holy Prophet tells us to do so. It is a lot of rewards every time you do it. Do not neglect these. Do not say, “This is enough.” Do as much as you can do.
Then there is the time of answering on this day. They make dua and duas are accepted. Allah accepts the dua when it falls on that time and gives you whatever you are asking for. Anyway, the dua of people whose duas are accepted find an answer sometimes in this world and sometimes in the hereafter. However, duas of Friday night are more acceptable. Therefore, if you honor that day, for the sake of that day you would attain what you ask for.
Allah Exalted and Glorious be He has rendered certain days and prophets more virtuous over others. But ignorant people say, “Do not honor it. Do not do anything.” They say,
“Do not honor a day, a month, or a person!” Do not listen to them. They are ignorant. They are doing what Shaitan wants. They themselves do what Shaitan is unable to do. May Allah keep us safe from them and their evils. May they also be reformed. May Allah reform them.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
27.RECOGNIZE YOUR FAULTS TO PROGRESS TOWARDS PERFECTION Sunday, 28 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 thinks everything to do with him is fine: everything he does is fine and he himself does it best. People do not accept fault, but others see your fault and either blame you or throw it in your face. And you know the one who does this not as a pal and a friend but as an enemy.
Pals do not tell a person’s fault much, but when this is the case people think they are right. Therefore, do not get upset when someone tells you a word [you do not like]. Think, “He saw what I did not see. This means I have faults. I have faults that these people see. Let me fix them.” So people should not see it as a punishment but as a blessing (nima) from Allah. The one across might tell you things you have no idea about, since he is looking for your faults to throw it in your face. He wants to harm you. Whereas, if you fix it when you learn about it, he would be unknowingly doing you good.
Son of man is used to comfort and laziness. If something does not warn you, you would be left as you are. You would stay the same for a hundred years. As we said, people are incomplete and need to progress towards perfection (kamal). What is meant by perfection is to recognize one’s mistakes and flaws in order to be complete. He rises if he recognizes those faults and reforms them. It is the same way with everything. It is the same way for a single person, for society, and for the state. The state has an administration and against them is the opposition. What is meant by the opposition are those who say they know it all better, or whose duty is to remind the administration of their shortcomings and mistakes.
That is the job of the opposition. It is an official duty. If there is a mistake in what the administration says, there is the opposition to correct it. If not, if there is no mistake then they are still there to do their job. We are giving this as an example of how people are the same way. In front of the enormous state and the administration is an opposition that curses, throws in their face all kinds of mistakes and blames, and does as much as it can do. When they tell you something [you do not like], it is an opposition. You need to think,
“Their duty is to warn me and make me better.” Do not look at them as the enemy and do not bear a grudge. People should thank each other. The awliya (saints) and great people used to do this. Sometimes people tell them a bad word or write them a letter, and they would say, “Son, thank you very much. What you are saying is right. We did not know this. Inshallah we will also do it. May Allah be content with you. You did not say enough.”
However, people of this day and age neither recognize flaw nor accept fault. There is nobody better than them. That is why they always walk around with anger and full of animosity inside. Whereas as we said, it is better to turn everything good. We need to pay attention to this so our inside is not full of grudge and animosity but with goodness. That time there would be relief. Otherwise there would be no relief but always distress. May Allah help us In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
28.DO NOT MAKE PROMISES YOU CANNOT KEEP Monday, 29 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.
As our Shaykh Baba says, this is chitchat, so we need to say what is necessary. You need to keep your promise in Islam. It says, “Those who do not keep their word are hypocrites (munafiqs).” One of the characteristics of munafiqs is not keeping their promise.
Make a promise on any matter if you are going to keep it. If you are not going to be able to keep it you should say, “I will not be able to do it. I am not making a promise.” This is the case with everything. It is so in shopping and in other topics as well. You are to help someone and you promise them but you do not do it. This is the case in every way, but people mostly break their promise when it comes to money. They avoid you, they do not keep their promise, and they do not give people their dues.
Now there is a case with trade. When you trade, of course you will negotiate and what not. You pay whatever you agree on. Then there is the case where someone does not have the means to trade by oneself, he introduces an owner of goods to a buyer, and goods are bought as a result. He also has a share as a result of this. They can agree as, “You will give me 1%, 2%...” and it is his right. It is not injust. It is not a bribe. It is lawful (halal) money. Because the other person is unable to do it by himself. If he does not buy it from you, there are a thousand other people waiting to sell their goods. He could have took him to someone else and gotten his money. Therefore, this is a right and the person who infringes on rights will not see good. He will be questioned in the hereafter: you infringed on the rights of this person, you stole, and so you have to account for it.
So people mix some things up in religion. They mix the lawful (halal) with the unlawful (haram), yet this is halal. He introduced people to each other and made them reach an agreement. When someone says, “I’m selling this house for you and such a percentage is mine. I’m selling this land or I’m selling these goods...” it is unfair for the other person not to give him his share. We certainly need to be careful of this. Now in End Times, people think of everything as profit, everything is halal. There is no such thing. It is shameful not to keep your promise when you make a promise to someone about goods or otherwise. You would be cheating him of his rights, you would be steeling. You would account for it in the hereafter. And in this world you would have no blessing (baraka)
left in your work because you would be cursed. Instead of giving one percent, Allah would take away all your money. Allah forbid.
Therefore, we need to be careful. Do not talk empty words and do not promise things you are not be able to do. May Allah grant people to look after the rights of others, and may He not make us eat haram In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
29.ABSOLUTELY MANNERS, ABSOLUTELY MANNERS Tuesday, 30 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: “Addabani Rabbi fa-ahsana ta’dibi.” This is one of the most beautiful sayings of our Holy Prophet (SAW). Of course, all of our Master’s (SAW) words are beautiful but regarding good manners (adab) he says, “Allah made me mannered. He taught me manners. You can find the best manners in me.”
Manners come before knowledge. People need to learn manners first and then knowledge. They used to call it “discipline and education” (tarbiya-talim). Discipline and manners first, then education, meaning teaching knowledge. They took it away now and did not leave anything called adab. No manners and respect are left, neither amongst each other nor towards educators. This is the case in all schools. However, madrasas need to have adab. There is no use of knowledge out of a person with no manners. Therefore, he needs to learn manners throughout life then he can learn knowledge.
Of course, people who comply by their ego and love their ego think they are above everybody else. They say, “No need to show them respect.” They immediately see themselves as superior and say, “Everybody needs to follow me and learn what I am saying.” No, it is never like that. Our Shaykh Mawlana was dwelling on adab most during his last days. He would say this so many times: “Knowledge is backmost; absolutely manners, absolutely manners”. Adab is first and foremost. Knowledge would be pleasant once manners are present. Shaitan’s knowledge is more than all of us, he has more knowledge than all people, but once he did not have adab he became a shaitan (devil).
We need to pay attention to this. People of tariqa need to pay more attention to it. “I am superior if I know a couple of words!” No. Mind your manners, be well-behaved, then this knowledge would be beneficial. As we said, even if you know all the knowledge in the world, if you do not have manners you would also come out as a devil and make people worse than Shaitan. Therefore, do not get close to a person without manners. Do not try to learn something from that person.
You can only learn adab from bad manners because their situation is bad. People like manners because of this. When they see the ill-mannered, they see what a beautiful thing manners are and become mannered. So a person who looks with a learning eye can even take lesson from that. May Allah grant us all to be from His mannered servants In Sha Allah.

30.DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS Wednesday, 31 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, in fact all people, think they know everything and want to say their opinion. This is a trick and a means of Shaitan. It is a trick to ruin people. Allah assigned everyone a duty and everyone should mind their business. People need to do whatever fits their nature and personality. It is no use if you interfere in others’ business and stick your nose in matters you do not understand. It would be harmful rather than beneficial because it is business you do not know about.
We read the hadith of our Holy Prophet. He says, “Do not make comparison,” meaning do not compare. What is meant by comparison is acting as if you know saying, “You do this because it is better. This is more appropriate.” Do not stick your head and nose into something you do not know!
Our Holy Prophet says, “The first creature to make comparison was Shaitan because he interfered with Allah Azza wa Jalla’s work.” “You made Adam – he does not say Adam Alayhis Salam – from earth, mud. I am made from fire. Fire is superior,” he said. So he is making comparison here as, “This is better and that is worse.”
The knowledge of Allah Exalted and Glorious be He does not have a limit. Interfering in His knowledge and making comparison is complete foolishness. He whispers to people in the same way and instils it in them as, “You are better than that one. You understand better. This man cannot do his job. Caution him. Shame him. Bad mouth him.” He instils amongst people these works of Shaitan. This, as we said, is for normal worldly affairs. It does not exist in religion, in Islam. Olden imams did not think so much about olden scholars, but these few eccentrics disapprove of them, then they make comparison and give ideas.
Allah gave those men such intelligence and such an eye, their heart’s eye was open, that they made Allah’s religion reach us in the cleanest way. The Day of Judgment is near anyway. If it was not near, if there was a hundred thousand years left, again those words they uttered and the books they wrote could go on without anything going missing. That is why to go up and compare yourself with them is foolishness. If everyone knew their
place and did not make comparison, they would be at ease, and others would be at ease and not follow Shaitan.
He who does not know his place is Shaitan. Allah gave him what he deserves. Let us not dirty our mouth and use bad language early in the morning. Allah already gave him what he is deserving of and worthy of. Those who follow him become the same way. That which Shaitan is worthy of touches those who do as he does.
We need to be careful, as it is not good to immediately shoot off one’s mouth about everything. Because there is a capacity you see while other people’s could be greater. If you are able to lift one kilogram, he can lift a hundred thousand tons, like a big crane. Accordingly, it is foolishness to compare yourself with him. You would be crushed away or you could injure yourself here and there trying to lift it. May Allah keep us safe. May we mind our manners Inshallah. Manners are important.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
31.I AM NOT TIRED FROM CLEANING THEM Thursday, 1 February 2018
Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Madad.
In Sha Allah, we make ṣuḥbah. After we make khatm, In Sha Allah.
Alhamdulilah, we meet again because Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla give everybody life. Only He know when it will be finish. We cannot say, "We meet you next time." You must say, " In Sha Allah". If Allāh He want, we meet, In Sha Allah, many times, In Sha Allah until Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām coming. And it is, I think, time for him, time for Mahdī ‘alayhi s- salām to clean the dirtiness of sins in this world. He is coming for clean, make clean.
Our religion, religion of cleanness. First lesson for Muslim – ṭahārah cleanness. You must be clean, clean yourself from dirty who you can see it, and clean yourself from the real dirty – the sins. Sin, it is exactly the dirt. Other dirt – if anything you have in your clothes, on yourself, it is easy, easy, very easy to clean it. You clean it by water, clean it by soap. You clean it by earth, with ashes. It clean. It is going, not staying on yourself. But to clean yourself from sin, it is difficult. It is sticking on ourself. To clean it with water you cannot. If you go whole sea coming on you, it is not clean you because it is inside yourself. Your ego, shayṭān make it as if you not have it. You can die – this is what they imagine. They... people they like their sin. They said we want to get rid of from this sin but if they want, they must be quickly finish. But sin become for them sweet; become for them something cannot live without it. You seeing from other people, they are doing or hearing and people one by one coming more and more.
And as people seeing this so they thought it is from our original being. No. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He create us. You see baby when he born from his mother how he is innocent, how he is pure, how he is mercy, nice beautiful for everybody. Baby like this. After this becoming his family to make him good or not good. But most of people they are not looking. So our original for human being clean, innocent. This is what original – not to be bad attribute, bad action. No. But people, shayṭān and his follower, showing us bad – "this is real, this is what you must do. Don't do what you have in original, what Allāh He create for you. Put as much you put sin and dirty on yourself." It is like Mawlānā Shaykh saying for rat. Rat in sewage. They are coming, they are living there. This million of rats living in sewage under cities. They are happy. This good? No. Anybody like to catch rat and put in his, with him? Nobody. They only if he they can, they throw him away. But for other, like cat, they can put because it's clean. So bad thing. If people even they make, they said no. This even in cartoon they make this rat dirty thing even they make them like good thing. They are putting everything in small detail, small thing,
they are thinking for everything they are not leaving anything for people to run away from this to make themself as they are right. No right.
But Prophets they bring from Allāh especially last Prophet, Muḥammad. He said, "Ad- dīn aṭ-ṭahārah" – Religion is cleanness. This is very important, And, as we said, to clean dirtiness is easy but for clean this dirtiness also, if not following your ego, it is very easy to clean it. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying: our... "My servant, they are not tiring from making sins, making dirt, and I'm not tiring from cleaning them." When He said, "Make tawbah, repent," we may say, "Allāh forgive us – astaghfiru Llāh." All this dirtiness going. Not only going, going, Allāh change it to rewarding you. What you done from bad thing and you repent and ask forgiveness from Allāh, Allāh He will change it to reward for you. This is our Lord. We must be, not be hopeless – "Rabbun ghafūr". "Rabbun ghafūr" meaning for He is forgive us, our Lord forgive us. He is good tiding from Prophet. And Allāh sending Prophet mercy for whole human being, for whole creatures.
Whole creatures, they are knowing Prophet but human being not knowing and not respecting. And he is doing everything to save his ummah. We must be thankful for Allāh and ask hidāyah (guidance) for people who are not respecting Prophet. Sin only not to respect Prophet. This is also from sin because Allāh respect Prophet and He give him shafā‘ah (intercession) to ask mercy for us from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And it is real thing. We must look for shafā‘ah for Prophet because – I recently read one of this book for people who are not accepting shafā‘ah, saying, "Don't respect anyone. Don't respect any grave, don't respect holy night. Don't respect this and that." And after they said, "Everybody by his what he do, what he will, Allāh He will reward him." Okay. Until now of course this is not real. After this they said, they will in Qiyāmah, in Judgement Day, Allāh will make people to go through bridge ṣirāṭ. And this bridge it is very sharp, very narrow. Some people quickly can pass through this bridge. Many people they will fall. Under hell fire – it is real. Not what they said. This is what Prophet saying also.
And here the most important point they said, "From each thousand people, nine hundred ninety-nine will fall in hell." Only one can survive. This is what we are asking for help from Prophet; asking his shafā‘ah, asking his help to make us fly from this bridge. Without him, nobody can survive. If they said only one, only one, one also maybe cannot survive. With our what we are doing – nothing. What we are doing all rubbish because we are not sincere like ṣaḥābah, like other. All what we do we are doing – wrong, but only imitating. Prophet we love him and he said he will make shafā‘ah for people who love him, who ask shafā‘ah for him, from him. He will make help for us, In Sha Allah.
Ṭarīqah, Sharī‘ah, it is on this point – this is Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jamā‘ah. The praised one, Prophet he said follow this people. This is our belief, our i‘tiqād. We are in middle – "kuntum ummatan wasaṭa". You must be in middle. Don't be one side or other side. If
you are in middle, you are in safe, you are in blessed place. You don't make quarrelling with anybody. You are not make people to be angry with you. Only you are by self you helping Muslim, you helping other people. This is what Prophet– "Al-muslimu man salima lmuslimūna min lisānihi wa yadihi." Prophet saying: "Muslim who people they are safe from his hand, from his tongue." You must be merciful. You must be polite. You must be respect one. But other one, who are extreme, even in that side or other side, all you you see their face – they are angry face. ‘Abūsu l-wajih karīhu l-manẓar – Mawlānā Shaykh was saying for this angry face, ugly face. This is what Mawlānā Shaykh was saying every time for this people. Our people they said you must be happy. Don't be angry face. Must be look for your brother with mercy, with smiling – asking about health, about what he is doing. But not to be angry for anybody. Prophet saying to smile for your Muslim brother – it is also ṣadaqah (charity).
How this people they are – of course this people they are not accepting ḥadīth now. They are not accepting. Now coming a new fashion. First they was angry, not accepting ṭarīqah people. After ṭarīqah they are not accepting madhhab. They said, "What is this madhhab? No need for madhhab. Everybody can make fatwá for himself." Third thing now not accepting ḥadīth. They said, "Ḥadīth all not important. Only we are for Qur’ān we are asking. What we ask, we look in Qur’ān." How you, we can find from Qur’ān? How many rak‘ah you must pray? How you must make wudū’? How you everything, Prophet he is saying. So now three, three things – one, ṭarīqah finish. They, for them other sharī‘ah also because sharī‘ah – madhhab. Madhhab also [they are] not accepting. After then not accepting ḥadīth. Prophet and for ‘ulamā’ – who not accepting ḥadīth they are kāfir, out of religion. Why they are out of religion? Because fourth thing they will do they will not accept Qur’ān also.
This is real big mindless, stupid people. But they are, who are doing this, they are cheating people and people, who are they not have thinking, they don't have mind, they believe them. But the real one who are beginning this fitnah, they are knowing what they are doing. They want to destroy Islām. But Islām, our religion, protected from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and as much they can do, they only they will be minority. Majority even they are not have voice, high voice, but majority as Prophet– "kūnū ma‘a s-sawādu l- a‘ẓam" – "Be with majority". And majority they are in middle – people who are not extreme. They are, because they are calm people, they are not making trouble, people they thought they are less and other, they make trouble, they make problem, shouting so people they thought they are majority. No. They are very few and it is this time, because time of end of time, they are more because they must when Mahdī ‘alayhi s- salām coming to clean them, they must appear – for this is this time they are going looking more and more.
Allāh save us and save Muslims from this bad people they are followers of shayṭān. Only this what we say, we can say. And as they said, they will fall from this bridge to hell.
Because they not accepting help from Prophet so they can help themself. Allāh give hidāyah for everybody. We are when we make du‘ā’ we must make du‘ā’, good du‘ā’ for everybody. Allāh make hidāyah and Allāh save Muslim people from these people.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
32.THE BEAUTY OF ṬARIQAH Saturday, 3 February 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, Sayyidinā ‘Abdu l-Qādir Jīlānī, Sayyidinā Mu‘īn d-Dīn Chishtī Hazretleri.
Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāh for ṭarīqat. Ṣuḥbah meaning to be happy with each other, to say something benefit. Prophet saying, "Say good thing. If you are not saying, be quiet." For this when somebody getting angry, if he not shouting, Allāh [will] reward him. Be quiet. When angry, people they are saying not good thing. So we, in shā’a Llāh, be control ourself. All ṭarīqah they are teaching us this – to be obey for Allāh, for Prophet, and for mashāyikh. If you be obedient for your ego you will be in trouble. Don't obey ego. Don't obey shayṭān. Don't obey bad people. You must follow ṭarīqah. This is the important thing, most important thing. Nowadays the people they are attacking, the most attacking thing – ṭarīqah. Ṭarīqah people they are attacked. Ṭarīqah what they are order? Ordering good thing.
Sayyidinā ‘Abdu l-Qādir Jīlānī he is Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’. When he was young his mother sent him for learning and she give him money. Tell him, "Don't – I will tell you something, teach you something – don't say lie any time." And in the road there was, this old time, robbers robbing and they cut his, in this with caravan, and they was taking from all of them their money. After they come, he was small young so they are not suspecting he will be have any money. And the chief of this theives, he ask him, "Do you have any money?" [If] he said 'no', they will not looking because he is small boy and nothing, look poor. He said, "Yes I have," and he, "They give me this." They look it's really. He ask him, "Why you say this and you cannot, you can save your money because you are, we are not suspect for you you have money?" He said, "Because I'm obeying my mother and she is saying truth, teach me right thing. Even you take whole money it's not important. I'm not losing my belief, not losing my honour. Because to be liar it is the worst thing." And Allāh make this theif to be regret and become in right way from this barakah of Sayyidinā ‘Abdu l-Qādir Jīlānī from his childhood.
This is teaching and there was also, mā shā’a Llāh, tonight Sayyidinā Shāhu ‘Alā’ – you hear about him. He is your Chishtī big imām Shaykh, mashāyikh Chishtī . He is grandson of Niẓāmu d-Dīn Awliyā’. He live one hundred twenty five years old. He this karāmah
for awliyā’. After hundred year, his teeth coming again and his hair becoming black again. Until one hundred twenty five year he was serving. He was in Chishtī ṭarīqah but before he was, when he was young, taṣarruf of awliyā’, he hear something pulling him from his father and grandfather, something pulling him and he by force he find himself going to one other place another city or village. They was Shaykh there also from Chishtī ṭarīqah – he was calling him. And when he arrive near village, he meet him and he was also teaching him many years. He was happy there and after his Shaykh tell him: "Somebody want you. Go quickly to your place to Agra." And he was going. In his way, hearing: "I want you and need you. Coming quickly, come quickly." When he arrive Agra, he find his grandfather he pass away. And they said: "Make waṣiyyah to be his khalīfah." And from that time he was teaching and collecting these murīd follower of his grandfather to not go to be divided.
And Allāh give him this long life he was serving for Allāh. He has two sons, they was passing away in his life. Many grandchildren passing away in his life. And he was never crying for them because he know their place and he know this is from Allāh and Allāh He is the best looking for them. Not – from his īmān from his belief – even he make one cemetery only for his family. This is some awliyā’ they can carry this, they are happy with this. Only one grandson he was alive and he give him, make him tarbiyah (training) and make him to be Shaykh. And also he was after him looking for ṭarīqah and staying like this.
And for these days we see, mā shā’a Llāh, millions of, this ṭarīqah, ten millions people they are following. From what? From their good behave and from their obedience, obedient for Allāh not for themself. If anybody he was for himself, he cannot survive with whole his family to be dying and he is looking for them one after one and one after one. This is big ṣabr (patience) and big accepting what Allāh give him. Ṭarīqah it is teaching good thing, teaching belief, īmān with sometimes with karāmah (miracles), sometimes without karāmah also. The people asking for karāmah but blind people they cannot see. If they see, they are not happy. For Prophet, he has a thousand of mu‘jizah. For Prophet we say mu‘jizah, for awliyā’ karāmah, karāmāt. Mu‘jizāt Prophet thousands. Until now still continuing until Qiyāmah. Mu‘jizāt Prophet because what he saying, appearing one by one, one by one. And when you read ḥadīth about signs of Qiyāmah, you are astonishing. Exactly he Prophet saying what happen, what will be happen these days – for human being how they will be going down and down, "asfala s-sāfilīn" (95:5). Not going up. The people, they are thinking we are in top of civilisation going up. No. This civilisation taking you down to where it is like well. Old time they was using well for dirty. This also, going for not clean water, dirty water they are going. This is from what they don't behave good, they don't have anything to make people better. Make them worse.
Ṭarīqah respect and to be accept and to be patient and to be mercy for others – not only for human being, for everything, for all creatures. Even creature we say like wheat, like tree, like water – all this creature from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is give us. We must look for them. But these days, people they are from shayṭān taking lesson and he is teaching them the first thing to make judgement. Prophet saying "Don't make judgement. Don't compare." First one he compare – he was shayṭān. This is ḥadīth of Prophet. Because he [shayṭan] said, "He Ādam from mud You make him and I'm from fire. I'm better." And this is for people also. He teach them, shayṭān, for this. He said, "I'm better than this people. They are not knowing anything from Sharī‘ah, not knowing anything from Islām." When you say this you are finish. Don't say anything for anybody. Only you look for yourself. When you are looking for ourself, we cannot look for another because we are full of fault. We are full of wrong thing. You can, if you see yourself, you cannot say for anybody – "This is not good, this is... I'm better than him."
But when you are in way of shayṭān, even you are you know whole Qur’ān, you know whole ‘ulūm (sciences), you will be no any benefit for you, not benefit for others. First the good behave – adab. First thing for mu’min for Muslim because Prophet was like this. With adab, teaching us. But other people, first shayṭān they teaching people to be no good behave. This is what we are looking, we are seeing. First thing they are attacking ṭarīqah people. Ṭarīqah people they are connecting all for Prophet– from Shaykh after Shaykh after Shaykh – connecting like chain for Prophet.
So this first one they are making people to run away from ṭarīqah. They said, "This is not good. This is shirk. We must be away from this." When they finish from this, because most people they say, "No need for ṭarīqah, no any benefit for ṭarīqah." Second thing they are saying, "What is madhhab?" They attacking madhhab and whole madhhab imāms, they are following Prophet and his way, especially Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah Imāmu A‘ẓam, Sayyidinā Imāmu Shāfi‘ī Hazretleri. When Imām Abū Ḥanīfah pass away, he was same day he born. And he was student for Sayyidinā Ḥāmid he is student of Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah seven years. And he said, "If I write maybe one library from this ‘ulūm [of] Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah." For this they saying he is "Imāmu A‘ẓam" and he is following Sayyidinā Ja‘far aṣṢādiq – one of our silsilah, Naqshbandī silsilah he is. So for this also not happy with madhhab. They are saying no need for madhhab. They attacking especially Sayyidinā Abū Ḥanīfah. They are most attacked one by these people. And when you see some people they are attacking by this shayṭān people, you know he is the best. So after this now they are new coming thing – not accepting ḥadīth. Saying, they saying Qur’ān enough. And who say this, many ‘ulamā’ of Ahlu s-Sunnah, they said he is out of Islām religion. He have many kind of this people who are out of Islām but they are looking like Islām. Because when you are denying something you are not acceptable.
This is what happen now after, first aim for themself – ṭarīqah, after madhhab, after Prophet's ḥadīth. After ḥadīth they will – what will do what they will do? They will deny Qur’ān because also from Prophet he saying. This is the end of them. The thing from beginning, their aim to destroy Islām because ṭarīqah it is first effort for Islām – defending Islām, the spiritual spirit of Islām. Without this they are like dead body. They are, people afraid from them. But when you are with spiritually of ṭarīqah, coming for any place become nice, become happiness that place. For this we are asking people to be stable in ṭarīqah and to bring their children to ṭarīqah, to not make it not useless. There is thousand thing – no need in this for people to do it. But the most important thing – ṭarīqah. It is most important one. We must catch ṭarīqah like life jacket – to be safe here and hereafter. Because here also, who are not in ṭarīqah – we are seeing many children they are for adventure, like now until now, we see someone shayṭān – he called Che Guevara. They put his picture in their t-shirt everything and he is not Muslim, he is not believer even. People they love him for the adventure.
And now they make this thing for Jihād for to fight – like it is good thing. But when they are going there, they will be regret and they cannot go back. If you go back, problem in their country. If they stay there, they will be killed or they will be at the end not good because oppressor not good. Allāh punish them here and hereafter. No victory for them. So we must be tell our children about ṭarīqah, about the beauty of ṭarīqah. Because ṭarīqah believing for ākhirah. Who are not in, other people, they are finish. They are not looking. They are only sad for dunyā and they are angry for dunyā, they are unhappy for dunyā. But when you are in ṭarīqah and you are real belief, it is not important for you – dunyā. Dunyā only in your hand, not in your side. You can leave it anywhere, any time. And it is like this because you don't know when you are be die. Not looking for age – maybe you are eighty year, near hundred year, but who are in ten year he can die before you. It's not by your will and you don't know, nobody knows, when it is it will be. So, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh help us to ...
G: Sulṭānu l-Awliyā’ Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim Adil al-Ḥaqqānī Muḥammad Nāẓim Adil al-Ḥaqqānī.
ShM: We are respecting all awliyā’u Llāh, all ṭarīqah. We are happy with them. Al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are seeing this also in everywhere. Before there was shayṭān also putting between ṭarīqah also something but now, Alhamdulilah, we are seeing – because this attacking from shayṭān people – ṭarīqah people, they are happy with each other. Alhamdulilah, Allāh make us more love for each other. This is Prophet what he say: you must be love your brother more than yourself. And for ṭarīqah people, they are real brothers. Others we are make du‘ā’ for them so Allāh give them hidāyah to come to right way. Right way – way of Prophet, way of mashāyikh, way of ṣaḥābah. No other way. We are in the middle – not in extreme place. We are in middle and Prophet he is merciful and he said you be with middle, in the middle, you will be saved. Allāh save us here and
hereafter. In Sha Allah, will be in Jannat Firdaws with neighbor for Prophet, with mashāyikh, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
33.THE OTTOMANS Monday, 5 February 2018
Our ṭarīqah, Naqshbandī ṭarīqah, main two pillars: one to give speech, other to gathering with good people. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are here. Thank you for all people coming here, attending this event. And they were saying subject of this, to speak about Ottomans.
Ottomans, they are rulers from followers of Prophet since his descendants coming one after one. Sayyidinā Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān, ‘Alī; all these, they are Sulṭān also. They are real Sulṭān, Sulṭān for this world and for other world also. We are calling ṣaḥābah Sulṭān also. Sulṭān meaning as the king. Amīru l-Mu’minīn meaning Sulṭān for all mū’minīn (believers) and others also. Because when they are conquering some place, they are asking people to give tax. If they not like to change their religion, when they give tax, they have right more than Muslim. They must defend on them, they must look for them what they need. All, everything they have right even I say more than Muslim.
The state of Islām – after ṣaḥābah coming Umawīn – it is nearly 150 years. And they were also ruling but we don't know much thing about them because history not write until ‘Abbāsīyin for Islamic. So everybody saying different things about them. Some of them saying Umawīn they were racist – only for Arab making more value. No Arab, they must... Even for praying they were putting them behind. This is what we hear. But Allāh knows better. After this coming ‘Abbāsīyin and they were, some of them, strong Sulṭān, some of them like puppet. Also coming until Ottomans. When Sulṭān Salīm he went to Egypt, conquered Egypt, take from them, they were ‘Abbāsīyin but of course only by name. And Islamic world was miserable. When Ottomans take over, nothing they were before they take over even. Before become Khalīfah, they were taking over all these Ḥijāz – Makkah, Madīnah – all this area. But to be Khalīfah they must take this from Khalīfah, give them. They were not for any material thing, they want this because they had everything. Only for protect this ummah, to unite them under flag of Prophet by justice.
And they was – he by himself – Ottoman kings they were fighting in front of soldiers. They were same with soldiers, not afraid or not running away. So they were going from Palestine to Egypt by Sinai. And Sinai, it is very difficult desert, no water, nothing so you must go quickly. Sulṭān he come down from his horse and beginning to walk. His wazīr, Prime Minister, looking. He's going, going. He said maybe after little bit, he will ride horse and we continue to finish this desert quickly but still going. So he said: around these people they were complaining, asking what happened because when he come down, all of them come down. Sulṭān walking, all army they must walk. And when he arrive to him, he see him crying and ask him, "What are you doing? This army, they are complaining." He
