Suhbah 2018: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (24/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5524
asy, happy life. He don't want for you bad, difficult life. But people they are choosing bad life, difficult life, and they left the easy and good life and this is they make punishment for themself. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla they give him mind, and He send also Prophets and His heavenly Books and Awliyā’u Llāh, Ṣaḥābah – everything, warning this people, telling them this but they are, "No." They are become like tyrant, not accepting and they put their rule and they said this is for human better. If you are saying anything against this, they are coming angry, they put you in jail. They putting, making difficult for you. And they thought they are controlling this world but when they will be in next life, in Judgement Day, no place to run away.
So this must thinking – you must not following what your ego like. You must listen for heavenly Book. All heavenly Books they are ordering good thing, not bad thing, but other people who are following shayṭān also they have many books, millions of books. All of them make people to run away from right way and follow the worst way for themself, for humanity. Allāh keep us safe from this people. Even Muslim people, also young, all they studying in university. They are in internet and other – all this they attack, they give them this information and people they forget Allāh, they forget Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. With this they are very busy to read this or to hear this and completely forget their religion. Allāh keep them safe from this shayṭān, In Sha Allah. Allāh give hidāyah for all of them, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
186.HE CHANGES SIN TO REWARD Sunday, 25 November 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.
When taking ablution, we should say Bismillah. You make intention and say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. When a person forgets it – for example he makes intention, doesn't say Bismillah and takes ablution. Then he remembers while washing his feet that he didn't say Bismi Llāh. Our Prophet says, " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem awwalahu wa- ākhirahu." No need to take ablution all over again. " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem wa- ākhirahu." "Bismillah from the beginning till the end." Why do we say it? Because our life passes in heedlessness. We are in heedlessness most of the time. Mankind is heedless. They forget that they come to this world for Allāh. They forget that dunyā is the place of tests and it is necessary to always remember Allāh. They commit sins and make mistakes. They are in heedlessness. They do things which are not good. People are 30 years old, 40 years old, even 70 or 80 years old, and they live all their lives with mistakes. That's like in ablution – if you repent, all of it can be forgiven. Allāh writes thawāb (reward) instead of it.
When repentance is pure, Allāh's kindness is great. Don't fall into hopelessness. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla waits for His servant to repent so that He accepts it and turns sins into thawāb. Therefore, like Bismillahi awwalahu wa-ākhirahu, even if we make sins throughout our lives and then repent, the doors of repentance are open. It will be accepted. And then: "Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyi’ātihim ḥasanāt" (25:70). Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will turn your sins into thawāb. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gives such good tidings. And mankind is lazy to do even that. They don't accept it. Most people pass away without repenting. May Allāh protect us. The door of repentance is open until the sun rises from the West. Therefore, don't lose hope of Allāh's mercy. May we always make tawbah. We are making sins every day anyway. And Allāh is changing them into thawāb.
We should make shukr to Allāh. We should praise Allāh. We should always make sajdah and thank Allāh for these favours. Because most people are heedless. They are not aware of so many favours. They don't think a bit about it. And they don't accept that they make mistakes. They think they are right. That is the biggest heedlessness. We are making mistakes and sinning continuously. May Allāh forgive us, In Sha Allah.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying when we make wuḍū’, we must make intention – "nawaytu l-wuḍū’" or "we intend to make ablution" and saying Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem first. But people sometimes forget to say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. In our, maybe, I don't know other but Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying also for this Ḥanafī Madhhab, if you forget to say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, maybe you wash your hand, mouth, face, hands, you still forget until you are coming to end of maybe feet. You wash your feet, you remember but said, you say, " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem awwalahu wa-ākhirahu." This Prophet's ḥadīth also meaning " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem from beginning to end." So it is acceptable, no need to make ablution from beginning. You finish. Before finish, you say, "Bismillah awwalahu wa-ākhirahu." Your ablution it is okay, no problem.
Why we saying this? For because this one example for how our life it is easy when you are following Allāh order. Because people, whole life maybe they forget to do good thing. Maybe they are not obeying order of Allāh. Maybe twenty years they are like this. Maybe thirty years, maybe forty years, maybe sixty years, or more they forget. They not doing anything good. But when they asking forgiveness from Allāh, all this years it will be, Allāh forgive what you done – like "Bismi Llāh awwalahu wa-ākhirahu" from as you are not doing anything. Even Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, "Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyi’ātihim ḥasanāt" (25:70) – He make, changing bad deeds to good deeds to reward you.
This is Allāh's favour for people. He just want people to be ask for forgiveness, to forgive them. He want something to forgive them. Even whole life doing bad thing but the end they ask for forgiveness, He will forgive and changing the sins to reward. This is from His generous. We are, how this human being lucky. But even for this people they are not, they in ignorance not accepting, not knowing this, that not asking for this. Even only they are running after their desire and running after their ego not – the most of people they are going without asking forgiveness from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And Allāh He is
asking for people, waiting for people to ask forgiveness, to forgive them. He is the most Merciful, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and waiting for people to forgive them even what they do in their life bad thing to changing to good thing.
We must be thankful for Him because we are not saying we are angel. We are also every day doing wrong thing, doing sins, sin and we are asking for forgiveness from Allāh. Alḥamdulilah we know He is changing this to reward, good deed for us and we are thanking Him. And as much we can thank Him it is not enough for Him but we are only small things for... We cannot say compare. No comparison, astaghfiru Llāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, nothing compare to Him. He is more Generous and only you asking. We are give us, thank for Allāh We are less than ants. We are only we thanking for what He give us, thanks for Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
187.TARIQAH IS A TRUST Monday, 26 November 2018
He knew Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim and Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh from his youth. He accompanied them throughout his life and accompanied the Awliyā’, he loved the Awliyā’ and the Prophet. His life was, Maa Shaa Allah, day and night spent in worship and praise. We rarely saw people like him. All his time was spent in worship, tasbīḥ, and dhikr. He was, Allāh bless him, a great mercy, but he was a person of states – ṣāḥibu l- aḥwāl Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim used to say he was "a person of states that even mountains can't carry."
Every Walī and every person has a special personality. He left people to the Lord, he didn't run after people. If someone left, then good bye. Whoever came was welcome, also welcome but not too much, a little bit. His level (maqām), Maa Shaa Allah – he loved the Awliyā’ and Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh, he loved him so much. Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim loved him a lot, and he loved him. He once said the greatest calamity for the murīd is the death of his Shaykh. For him it happened twice. He wished to meet them and go to them. In the end he endured sickness. He endured a severe illness, on his behalf and the behalf of the nation, on the behalf of the Muslims, In Sha Allah.
He traveled to the farthest countries of the world. He has lovers in every place, This is a grant from Allāh. Of course there are people who understand and others that don't, not important. What is important is for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to be pleased with him. Mā shā’a Llāh, we witnessed, we were with him many times. Maa Shaa Allah, there are few like him. After washing Maa Shaa Allah, and even before washing, there were no signs of death at all, he appeared as if asleep. Mawlānā Shaykh used to say, the death of the murīd is as if he closed his eyes and opened them in another room. Like that he was. Like that he was, alḥamdulilah.
Of course, this is Allāh's will, no objection to that. But the loss is hard, the separation is hard, but In Sha Allah he has faith. We wait because after the separation there's a meeting also – In Sha Allah in heaven for everyone. Shaykh ‘Adnān, Allāh rest his soul, took his turn and now is our turn. Alḥamdulilah he arrived. We said goodbye to him from here. We are sad for his farewell, as if he's traveling, and there Mashāyikh welcome him. Mawlānā Shaykh and Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh, and the brothers that are there from before, the ones that traveled to the Hereafter, were all happy. They welcomed him as a guest coming from afar, We are also the same. They received him, but of course for us it was separation. But in shā’a Llāh the separation is not forever, In Sha Allah. The separation will be forever if we leave this way and go in another way. Then, the separation will be forever. Sub Han Allah. When we are on the same way there's no problem. In Sha Allah, days are going fast. A person doesn't have to think that he is staying forever, there's nothing like that. I even saw some of the brothers today whom I haven't seen for 15, 20
years. One asked me, "Do you know who I am?" I looked at him and told him: "I didn't know you." Days are passing by quickly. For that, there is no sadness, In Sha Allah, there will be a meeting, In Sha Allah with everyone. This is the way of light, the way of happiness, the way of deliverance, the way of happiness and success, success in the Hereafter.
In this way when someone goes from the 40 saints, the Abdāl, all the Awliya’ that are in the dunyā, are replaced by another one. Allāh assigns someone in his place. Our Ṭarīqah is also like this. Now, In Sha Allah, Mawlānā Shaykh had assigned for the Arab countries: Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Gulf, Yemen, Oman, Sudan, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, In Sha Allah, now the appointment has come to Shaykh Muṣṭafá. He is in his place, In Sha Allah, he acts, there's no need to go. But the duty now, there should be one alive. In shā’a Llāh, Shaykh Muṣṭafá is here. Anything you want to ask, you ask of him. The same in Tripoli as you did during the life of Shaykh ‘Adnān, may Allāh have mercy on him. Shaykh ‘Adnān was doing the dhikr. Now the same way, he does the dhikr. Here, in this zāwiyah – if there's no objection you can come here. If there's an objection, you can find another place. But, In Sha Allah, there's no hardship.
This is an important issue for the Ṭarīqah. There must be someone to take over. This is not a place to play or follow someone's opinion or desire, no. Ṭarīqah must continue, it is a trust from Rasūla Llāh, from our Mashāyikh. Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim for 90 years he struggled and ran behind people to guide them. He went to every country, all over the world, and didn't leave any. In Sha Allah, Lebanon was one of the first and most important countries – especially Tripoli. In the past it was Tripoli and Shām, Tripoli and Shām. This country was also blessed by Shaykh ‘Adnān. People realized the truth about the groups that strayed and stayed away from them. They want Ṭarīqah, the Truth that follows Islamic Law (Sharī‘ah) and Rasūla Llāh on the outside and the inside, In Sha Allah. In Sha Allah, this can be with the blessing of Shaykh ‘Adnān also because Mawlānā Shaykh says: "After the death of a Walī, his power is seven times stronger than when he was alive." In Sha Allah, there will be a great opening. In Sha Allah, it will be Tripoli and Shām.
Since Mawlānā Shaykh means that here will be a center of guidance for Muslims, and will be on the right way. Groups appeared 40 years ago, all of them claimed to be on the right way, and they criticized our Ṭarīqah and criticized our Mashāyikh. But Allāh ﷻ revealed their reality and everyone is running away from them. In Sha Allah, they leave them and come to this right way, In Sha Allah. Our Ṭarīqah, our duty is to be faithful. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh this death is not wanted for dunyā, dunyā is trash, for Hereafter. For Hereafter there should be faithfulness in the heart. Today we went all over Tripoli, posters, mā shā’a Llāh, each one as long as a building. Posters, not for business, but with faithfulness and good intention. These our people, this group put them. Here in Lebanon there are sects and every sect has positives and negatives. I don't know but what I know
is that these groups should be here to serve the right way. But they see people as benefits, advantages: first as political advantage, and then as a material advantage. They view people like that. When they look like that, they will never succeed. Success is in sincerity, serving the people, serving Allāh, Allāh accepts from you. When you serve yourself, run and make people serve you for a benefit for dunyā, you don't succeed. This is the secret. It is not a secret, it is open. We say that all the problems are from the days of the Prophet. He used to always explain, but no one listens. There's no secret, everything is open. Who wants to succeed has to keep good intentions in his heart to serve people. This is for dunyā and Hereafter also, for the Ṭarīqah, the Islamic Law (Sharī‘ah), and the people. Allāh help us and help the Nation of Muḥammad. Shayṭān mostly attacks those on the right way. Wherever there is a right way you find hundreds and thousands of groups, ten thousand groups, each one against the other. When one is against the right way it is easy for them to agree. Allāh help us and help them.
Allāh have mercy on Shaykh ‘Adnān and make his blessing always present. Maa Shaa Allah we saw his kids and family. They're all, Maa Shaa Allah, from the good people, blessed and on the right way. You also, we advise you, since we rarely see children like this. Allāh have mercy on Shaykh Wāṣif, Maa Shaa Allah, his children are better than he. The rest, this is the problem – there were a hundred or more of the students, each had four or five kids. There used to be one thousand five hundred people here. There is no one now. This is a fault of yours. This is an important matter. Don't give money. Give advice, raise them right. When you give him money, he hits you on your head. You raise them right, they serve you. We see a lot of this – people complaining about their children. This is the most important thing – to leave your desires and pay attention to your children and raise them right. This is very important. After that there won't be a benefit for them, not in dunyā nor in the Hereafter. On the contrary, It will become as the Prophet said. There is a Hadith that says: "At the end of time raise a dog and don't raise a child." Muslims must pay attention to their children, In Sha Allah. Allāh save them and save their children, In Sha Allah.

188.HOW TO BE AWLIYAULLAH Thursday, 29 November 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.
If you want to live a comfortable life in this world, Allāh has opened the door for you. People are without peace. They are always worrying and stressed. And they are confused, not knowing what to do. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is showing the way to people and says: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā inna awliyā’a Llāh lā khawfun ‘alayhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn" (10:62). "Beloved servants of Allāh have no fear, no sorrow and no worry." Awliyā’ of Allāh are His beloved servants. You should try to become a beloved servant of Allāh.
When you say Awliyā’, people look for miracles. No. Allāh is saying, "If you follow the Prophet, Allāh will love you." "If you love Allāh, follow me," says our Prophet. "Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāh fa-ttabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh" (3:31). "If you love Allāh, follow me. Follow my sunnah and Allāh will love you. You'll be His beloved servant." A beloved servant of Allāh can only be a person who walks on the way shown by our Prophet. That is why... Of course, real Awliyā’, all of them are those who follow the way of our Prophet Who are they? They are the ones who love Ahlu l-Bayt, who love our Prophet, who love Ṣaḥābah, who love Awliyā’ and who walk on the way they show. Because they walk in the middle.
Those who walk on the sides, they've made up something according to their minds. No Awliyā’ can appear from them, not the one who has miracles, nor the one who is a beloved servant of Allāh. Because they don't accept the Prophet. How do they not accept? When they don't accept what he said, they say, "Our Prophet brought Qur’ān. That's it. I don't believe in ḥadīth." You can't be a walī of Allāh then, you can't be Allāh's beloved servant. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying openly in the Qur’ān Karīm by the tongue of our Prophet, "If you love Allāh, follow me. Allāh will love you then." This is it. This is the matter. If you follow it, you will be from the beloved servants of Allāh You won't have sorrow and sadness. Worry and bad things will stay away from you. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has shown it.
People are not doing it. And then they say, "We don't succeed." They're afraid of death and other things. They're afraid of everything. You should be afraid of Allāh. No need
to be afraid of other things. Because other things are temporary, they will vanish. Allāh is permanent. If you do good, you'll have it. If you do bad, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will punish you. That's why this matter is important. Be a beloved servant of Allāh Be close to Him and follow our Prophet. This way is a beautiful way. It is the way of people beloved by Allāh No need to look around. May Allāh make all of us firm on this way, In Sha Allah.
These days everybody they have very deep sadness, they have fear. They have anxious, they have everything specially in this modern time. This they said for this time, modern time: as much technology coming more higher, more technology, everything in technology, everything they can do – becoming people they become worse. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He show us how to be away from this bad situation saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā inna awliyā’a Llāh lā khawfun ‘alayhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn" (10:62).
Awliyā’u Llāh – what meaning 'beloved one for Allāh they have don't, they don't have any fear, they don't have any sadness. Why? Because they are with Allāh. Who is with Allāh how can be afraid from this dunyā, from this world, or from anybody? No. Because and how to be meaning Awliyā’u Llāh? There is two kind meaning for this. One who has waliyu Llāh, saints they have miracle, they have karāmah. They have good but normally everybody can be Awliyā’u Llāh. Other way – to be following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam because in Qur’ān also saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāh fattabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh" (3:31). "If you love Allāh, you must follow me. Allāh He love you." We so become beloved one for Allāh.
This is also waliyu Llāh but this is enough for people. People they are looking to be waliyu Llāh for karāmah, for benefit for themself but this no need to be waliyu Llāh. Also benefit for yourself, everything will be easy for you, no fear no sadness for you if you are beloved one for Allāh. And everybody can be like this. But it is one thing must do – you must follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. And even in other way also, real sense an awliyā’u Llāh who has karāmah with real one also who are following Prophet's ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam way, not going outside of this way. Who going outside of this way, making a new way, we never hear anyone from this people to be saint in Islām.
Who are in extreme people, they are not accepting Ahlu l-Bayt, or they not accepting Ṣaḥābah. This people this many people now in this our days, for this people they becoming more sadness, more unhappy, more stress. So why? Because they are they are praying, they are doing everything but not following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, not accepting his way, what he saying. Said, "This is we not accept this because this Ṣaḥābah all they are become..." Astaghfiru Llāh. They one of them they said they all become nonbeliever, kuffār because they not accepting what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam. Other saying, other say: so this people and they are praying more than you and me but they are not beloved one for Allāh.
It's easy just to accept Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and follow him. You become beloved one for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and you become safe here and hereafter. Allāh help us to follow, to be beloved one for Him – the most important thing in our life for here and for hereafter.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
189.TO BE FROM PARADISE PEOPLE Friday, 30 November 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.
Of mankind – everyone will taste death. There is no escape from it. Last Sunday Ḥaḍrat Shaykh ‘Adnān took his turn and departed to Ākhirah. He went with goodness. He made a beautiful journey. "Yā ayyatuhā n-nafsu l-muṭma’inna irji‘ī ilá rabbiki rāḍiyatan marḍiyyah fa-dkhulī fī ‘ibādī wa-dkhulī jannatī" (89:27-30). "O the one with good nafs, who has trained his ego and has good manners, return to your Lord, enter paradise."
Now the grave, according to the ḥadīth of our Prophet, is either a hole in hell or a garden in Paradise. When he enters the grave, a door opens. He looks, it's a door to Paradise. Believers and Muslims go there. They wait there until Qiyāmah, until the resurrection. Then they will come out and enter the real Paradise. The grave is a place everyone will go. Therefore, people should be careful. It shouldn't be a hole from hell. You should be met by your Shaykh. Follow a Shaykh so that you have a guide and you are on the right way. When you have a murshid, he meets you first. When you go to Ākhirah, he meets you there. He is familiar to you so you are not afraid Then you'll be put in your maqām. After that you'll be in peace and joy.
Therefore, most people see in their dreams – many people saw Shaykh ‘Adnān in their dream. They see him very happy, satisfied, and pleased. Of course. His state was known. Therefore, our love for our Prophet should be complete too. Who loves our Prophet is saved. No worry for him. Most people say now, "I always pray. Will I be saved from hell?" If you are with our Prophet, you're safe. No need even to entertain a doubt. You'll be saved by the kindness of Allāh. Because Allāh gave you that love. He gave you the love for our Prophet, the love of Awliyā’, so you don't need to worry. Keep your thoughts about Allah good. Say that Allah will put you in Paradise. He is Merciful . Don’t say He will put you in hell. That is a bad thought. You will have thought badly of Allāh. Allāh‘s Mercy and Kindness are endless. Say He will be Merciful and won't put us in hell. Allāh's Mercy Oceans are endless . Just believe in Allāh's, believe in Allāh Mercy . The rest is easy.
So this is the matter. Death is something everyone will experience. They are going one by one. Just like things happen, school finishes, you go to the next and the next. It is the
same. May Allāh make us from those who pass this test. May we pass with īmān, In Sha Allah. May our īmān be strong so that no worry and no sorrow remain. The most important two things we say, are the love of our Prophet – and love of our Prophet is to do... There are many insane people now. They cry and scream which they call singing. And there are those who want to be like them. People love them. They do as they do. If you love our Prophet, you should do as he does. You should follow his ummah so that you have familiarity. And the second, the most important thing, is to trust in Allāh's Mercy, to think well of His Mercy. Allah is the most Merciful. No one is more merciful than Him. You should think, "He won't send us to hell." Allāh won't turn your thought away. That's very important. By the permission of Allāh all of you are safe, In Sha Allah.
Our life limited. Last Sunday Shaykh ‘Adnān, raḥmatu Llāhi ‘alayh, he left this world, the world of like dream. This world like dream compared to real life. This is only very short life and it is and it is for everybody this end. It will be everybody they have turn. They were in queue. When our turn coming, we will leave this world. This is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taqdīr. But to leave it in such good way it will be for us the best because there is two way. But this, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are, In Sha Allah, with love of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, love mashāyikh, it will be nice leaving.
Like Shaykh ‘Adnān he left also whole murīd, In Sha Allah, will left. Because many people seeing Shaykh ‘Adnān in dream, he is very happy. He is finish his turn and he happy with mashāyikh, with meeting Grand Shaykhs – Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh ad-Dāghistānī wa Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī and whole Awliyā’. This is real happiness, not false happiness. False happiness it is in dunyā. In this world you be happy little bit, after you be sad months. So for this Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, for when somebody dying going to grave in this either it will be Paradise, garden from Paradise, or hole from hell. Who are believer there they put them and they go. They said there is it will be open one door and this door going, seeing Paradise and you will be there until Qiyāmah – Judgement Day. Or if you are not believer and you are not accept, it will be hole of one from hell. Until Qiyāmah you will be there.
Of course first they be receive him this Mashāyikh. After everybody he will be sometimes with them, sometimes they leave them for their maqām, their place. Waiting and not nothing affect them until Qiyāmah. This is very important for people because people they are thinking they are, when they die, finish. And even before going to grave they put their hell in dunyā, in world. They put them, they burn them in the world and they thought they are doing good but they are doing bad. And every time they make this darkness and bad thing coming to them when they burn some people. Because to burn it is not good at all. Even human being or animal not allowed in Islām to burn. So for this, they thought it is finish and even this it will be if they burn here also until Qiyāmah they will burn like this.
But our important thing for us, to be prepared for such a day because everybody they have this day. And this day, when you are accepting Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and you believe in Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla , He is the most Merciful and He is – to thinking good for Allāh. Because Allāh saying, "I am as My servant thinks about Me. I'm like this." So we are thinking for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is most Merciful. Because many people they make people to be doubt. Say, "You not pray good. You are not doing this good. You are mushrik. You are, you will be in hell." So many people they are afraid and said, "It is difficult for us to go to Paradise." No. If you are believer, not difficult at all. Until... But if you are not thinking for Allāh good, you are thinking Allāh will put you in hell, maybe Allāh put you in hell because you are thinking. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying, "I'm in what My servant thinking about Me."
So for us there is two things very important you must follow this and you are sure you are from Paradise people. One of them to be follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, love of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. As Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying, "Follow My Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and I will be I will love you" (3:31). How follow? You can follow – make his sunnah, make his what he ask for it. Because there is now end of time. There is people going shouting as they are making music, wearing, putting some very ugly thing on them. Said people they love them they try to do same thing. So if you love Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, you also must be follow his sunnah. If not wearing, from wearing what he was wearing, but you must do for his good behave. At least you must be like this. Second one, to be hopeful from Allāh He will put you, He never put you in hell – you will be in Paradise. This two is enough for people to be from Paradise people. Allāh make us from them, In Sha Allah.

190.A TRAITOR IS ALWAYS AFRAID Saturday, 1 December 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 is saying, "Wa-anna Llāha lā yahdī kayda l-khā’inīn" (12:52). Our Prophet says, "Al-khā’in khā’if." Being a traitor is not a good attribute. Muslims can't have this. Betrayal is like unbelief and it is not from the beautiful attributes ordered in Islām. It is from the illness of the ego. We should be careful about it. Ego does it in order to put a person in a bad situation. You look, people you thought were friends of someone did something that surprises you. The person who does such a thing will always be in fear. He'll think, "What happens if they find out my deceit?" Whereas in Islām, they say look like who you are. Do goodness towards people and brothers in Islām. Islām orders good and forbids evil. Islām... A Muslim...
Our Prophet said, "Who is Muslim? A person who is trustworthy." And a Muslim doesn't fear anyone or anything. He knows he'll be questioned by Allāh and he lives in peace. Rather than living in fear and worry, he lives in goodness and peace. These are from the beautiful things ordered by Islām and our Prophet.
Therefore, we are living in the end of times now. People have become such that even without need, they do wrong. They put themselves in hardship in this world and infringe on the rights of others to account for it in the hereafter. Allāh's rights and people's rights are different. We need to ask forgiveness of people. Allāh forgives. But if there are people you have hurt, they need to forgive you. If not, you're in trouble. It is everywhere now, people harm others in order to get benefit from them. That is betrayal. Allāh doesn't accept it. They have no excuse in Islām, neither in ṭarīqah nor in Sharī‘ah. They should educate their egos. Because there are such egos which always try to harm people.
May Allāh protect us from them. May Allāh keep us from obeying our ego. May we be clean. May our faces be clean. May we not be ashamed in front of anyone. More importantly, being ashamed in front of Allāh is worse. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says in Qur’ān, "Wa-anna Llāha lā yahdī kayda l-khā’inīn" (12:52). and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu‘alayhi wa sallam: "Al-khā’in khā’if" – meaning Allāh not helping traitor people because traitor to be traitor like to be hypocrite. To harm people, people they are thought you are friend, you are brothers, you are like very close friend and making thing against them – for this Allāh saying, Allāh not help them. They do this some of them for benefit, some of them because they have illness of ego. One of illness of ego to be traitor, to not accept to be good with people, like to harm this people.
And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, "Al-khā’in khā’if." Traitor one he is always afraid. Why he is afraid? To not be known what he done. Every time he is looking, "Uh, maybe this people they will know what I'm..." Whole life going with fear, with anxious, to. But not looking for to make himself better. No. In Islām ordering to be good, to help people, to do good with people, not to do something to harm people. And when following this, not harming any people, Allāh help them, make them to be happy, make them to be no fear for them. Their life normal. To be whole life afraid and to be in like anxious, it is not good.
Allāh give belief. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam to good way to teach us the best way. One of them to be honest with people, with your friend. If you are not happy you can tell them. If you are not happy, you can be away. Not, no, not to harm people. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, "Muslim believer who how he is description believer – who one not harm people with hand and with tongue." This is people believer, Muslim. So other who are in now, in this days many people they forget about good behaviour and teaching of Islām. You see them making every bad thing. Even maybe some of them they can be with this what he done to put people in danger, or put them in jail, or they can kill them even with this traitor. So this is, you must keep ourself, teach ourself to be good with everything; to think first what will happen at the end of this what we do.
This is very common now in this days everywhere and Allāh punish people with this wars, with this to people going fighting each other. All this with reason. Not without
reason. What we see whole in this area from war, from disaster – all this coming from Allāh punish people for their bad deeds. Many people they not know. They thinking it is just like this happening. No. Is Allāh will, also to punish people but people still not understanding. Say, "What? From where this coming? We are very good people." No you are not good people.
Allāh make us to be good, In Sha Allah, to help us to be safe from our ego's illness, In Sha Allah.

191.THIS WORLD WILL NOT REMAIN WITH US Sunday, 2 December 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.
Since the time of Adam, people have been coming to this world and leaving. Billions of people have come by turns. Allah appointed a life for everybody. One will live this life, [but] one must live here with goodness (khayr). The world will not remain with anyone; it has not remained, and will not remain, with anyone. We are guests here in this world, travelers. We come from one place traveling to another.
Last week, Shaykh Adnan met the Rahmah of Allah. His family and those who love him are upset, but there is nothing to be done to redo it; nothing can bring him back. The important thing is his having earned the next world. Those who make this life their goal are ruined. There are too many people in this world, those who do not think about the next world, those who do not believe in next world are the majority. They are the majority, but their number means nothing.
When not on the right path, even if it be all the world disbelieving, there is no benefit to it. They are of no use either for themselves or for Allah ‘azza wa jall. Allah ‘azza wa jalla wants your goodness, but He is not in need of it. Your bad deeds do not harm Him. Allah has provided for you so that you gain. Do what Allah ‘azza wa jalla says, so that you will be remembered with goodness (khayr), you find goodness (khayr). Otherwise, if you work for your desires and ego, you are harmed; there is no gain for you at all.
If one leaves in the same condition as he arrived in, it is better, because in arrival Allah creates people pure, in one’s departure [however] one is loaded with heavy sins, mountain-size sins. If people repent, Allah accepts their repentance, and substitutes good deeds in place of their sins. People are not aware of this blessing, the exchange. May Allah grant us awareness, keep us on the right path.

192.WHAT SUITS A MUSLIM Monday, 3 December 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.
What is more appropriate for human being, especially for a Muslim, is to have control over himself. He should approach things with wisdom. He must have his dignity wherever he is. They say what is appropriate for a Muslim is to have dignity. Dignity means self-possession, not reacting in a hurry. The one who has no dignity acts suddenly towards everything. This means the person does not possess patience, and later regrets what he did or said. [But by his lack of patience,] he gives opportunity to the other person to maintain his own dignity and patience.
It is not good to deal with everybody. Everyone has his own level of being, has his place. When a woman says a thing to you, if you get up and answer, you become like a woman and have lost your dignity. In fact, if she keeps talking, do not listen to her and do not answer back. It will finish, and she will feel ashamed of what she did. Those who are not at your level are called the vulgar (‘awwāmu n-nās). When heading on a path suddenly, if you make a mistake, such a one deals with you and says things. You should either keep silent, or smile and let it go. This way he stays calm and relaxed, and you also stay calm and relaxed. But if, on the contrary, you move to answer back, he may harm you. Either he might physically fight with you, or he might use bad words against you. If you [then] react, and use bad words [too], you will lose your self worth.
This is why it is important to have control over one’s ego. Such a person is strong. There is a hadith from our Prophet which says that the one who is strong is not the one who can beat others, but the one who has control over his own ego. Indeed, to do this is good and difficult and beneficial—[all] at the same time! The result would be good, [and] in front of everyone you would continue to have dignity. They would not call you a lightweight. They instead would say that this person possesses dignity. You stay patient and have some control over yourself, and [then] observe the goodness of the result.
Today, ninety-nine percent of people lack this. This man said thus and so, [and] then you might have reacted and said something in return. The next day he ends up at your door starts swearing at you. Or the incident is an old one; there is no need to rekindle it.
May Allah give us the strength to have control over our ego. This requires a great strength, [but] gradually it is possible through training the ego.

193.THE PRIVACY OF ANOTHER’S PERSONAL LIFE Tuesday, 4 December 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah ‘azza wa jalla says: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa lā tajassasū,” which means interfering with the private lives of others and being curious about what others are doing. This is forbidden. To damage people, Satan has people do the opposite. They ask questions such as, “What are these people doing? What are they up to?” Later they pass information to others. Or even though they have no business in the thing, they enter themselves into others’ private affairs, then spread what they learn to other people— by which they commit a sin which is called “transgressing the other’s right”. This is a form of amusement for those and satisfies the doer’s desire. “What is this person doing? What is he up to?” With such questions and passing the information onto others is what the doer enjoys. This is a habit—a bad one. Also, he will be punished here and Hereafter, because when evil is done, certainly evil will return to you, not goodness. Calling oneself a “Muslim”, [and] then doing such evil to others. There are those tempting towards this evil. We have been a witness to this already. He calls himself a “Muslim”, then right after recognizing the weak point of the other, he tries to make the other do evil things. As we said, this is called tajassus. There are other greater or smaller things, and there are these things too, which ruin someone’s life. His action does not remain unpunished. Certainly Allah gives him punishment. He should not think this action will be beneficial for him. This is a habit, one of the worst habits of nafs. A person should train himself against it. As we say, this can suddenly become a big issue. It may also go against Allah, against government, or against people. This is not good character. Therefore Allah forbade such action. He says do not attempt tajassus.
Of course there are other things too, things that the government does for people, [for example,] they can check on what evil people are doing, [but] this is a different matter, but there is no need to search for what is in the lives of others. What is good is clear, evil is clear. You stay away from things you have no business with. May Allah forgive. Those with such bad habits should repent and ask forgiveness. Allah forgives from His own will.

194.AL-MASJID UL AQSA Wednesday, 5 December 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 says, Thanks be to Allah our brothers (ikhwān), children went to visit Jerusalem (Al-Quds). Those who have prayed salah there are credited with having prayed 500 salats, which means that salat there has 500 times more reward. In the Ka’aba Masjid, it is 100,000 times, in the masjid of our Prophet, 1000 times. In Masjid al-Aqsa, it is equivalent to 500 times.
While our Prophet was on [his] Miraj journey, from Makkah he came to al- Masjid al- Aqsa, and after he had served as imam for the other prophets, he took on a journey to the heavens, Miraj. The people of that locality, in order to confuse people, point out al- Qubbat us-Sahra (which is rounded and its dome golden) as al-Masjid al-Aqsa. They do not point out the real al-Masjid al-Aqsa. The other is a deceit.
To pray in al-Masjid al-Aqsa is 500 times superior. That is what is being said in the hadith of our Prophet. As-Sahra is the rock that our Prophet climbed on. When our Prophet moved, the rock itself moved high up to do miraj with the Prophet. He told it to stay where it was. That rock is [still] cut off from the ground, but they put something under it to make sur

asy, happy life. He don't want for you bad, difficult life. But people they are choosing bad life, difficult life, and they left the easy and good life and this is they make punishment for themself. And Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla they give him mind, and He send also Prophets and His heavenly Books and Awliyā’u Llāh, Ṣaḥābah – everything, warning this people, telling them this but they are, "No." They are become like tyrant, not accepting and they put their rule and they said this is for human better. If you are saying anything against this, they are coming angry, they put you in jail. They putting, making difficult for you. And they thought they are controlling this world but when they will be in next life, in Judgement Day, no place to run away.
So this must thinking – you must not following what your ego like. You must listen for heavenly Book. All heavenly Books they are ordering good thing, not bad thing, but other people who are following shayṭān also they have many books, millions of books. All of them make people to run away from right way and follow the worst way for themself, for humanity. Allāh keep us safe from this people. Even Muslim people, also young, all they studying in university. They are in internet and other – all this they attack, they give them this information and people they forget Allāh, they forget Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. With this they are very busy to read this or to hear this and completely forget their religion. Allāh keep them safe from this shayṭān, In Sha Allah. Allāh give hidāyah for all of them, In Sha Allah.

186.HE CHANGES SIN TO REWARD Sunday, 25 November 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.
When taking ablution, we should say Bismillah. You make intention and say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. When a person forgets it – for example he makes intention, doesn't say Bismillah and takes ablution. Then he remembers while washing his feet that he didn't say Bismi Llāh. Our Prophet says, " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem awwalahu wa- ākhirahu." No need to take ablution all over again. " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem wa- ākhirahu." "Bismillah from the beginning till the end." Why do we say it? Because our life passes in heedlessness. We are in heedlessness most of the time. Mankind is heedless. They forget that they come to this world for Allāh. They forget that dunyā is the place of tests and it is necessary to always remember Allāh. They commit sins and make mistakes. They are in heedlessness. They do things which are not good. People are 30 years old, 40 years old, even 70 or 80 years old, and they live all their lives with mistakes. That's like in ablution – if you repent, all of it can be forgiven. Allāh writes thawāb (reward) instead of it.
When repentance is pure, Allāh's kindness is great. Don't fall into hopelessness. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla waits for His servant to repent so that He accepts it and turns sins into thawāb. Therefore, like Bismillahi awwalahu wa-ākhirahu, even if we make sins throughout our lives and then repent, the doors of repentance are open. It will be accepted. And then: "Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyi’ātihim ḥasanāt" (25:70). Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will turn your sins into thawāb. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gives such good tidings. And mankind is lazy to do even that. They don't accept it. Most people pass away without repenting. May Allāh protect us. The door of repentance is open until the sun rises from the West. Therefore, don't lose hope of Allāh's mercy. May we always make tawbah. We are making sins every day anyway. And Allāh is changing them into thawāb.
We should make shukr to Allāh. We should praise Allāh. We should always make sajdah and thank Allāh for these favours. Because most people are heedless. They are not aware of so many favours. They don't think a bit about it. And they don't accept that they make mistakes. They think they are right. That is the biggest heedlessness. We are making mistakes and sinning continuously. May Allāh forgive us, In Sha Allah.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying when we make wuḍū’, we must make intention – "nawaytu l-wuḍū’" or "we intend to make ablution" and saying Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem first. But people sometimes forget to say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. In our, maybe, I don't know other but Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying also for this Ḥanafī Madhhab, if you forget to say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, maybe you wash your hand, mouth, face, hands, you still forget until you are coming to end of maybe feet. You wash your feet, you remember but said, you say, " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem awwalahu wa-ākhirahu." This Prophet's ḥadīth also meaning " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem from beginning to end." So it is acceptable, no need to make ablution from beginning. You finish. Before finish, you say, "Bismillah awwalahu wa-ākhirahu." Your ablution it is okay, no problem.
Why we saying this? For because this one example for how our life it is easy when you are following Allāh order. Because people, whole life maybe they forget to do good thing. Maybe they are not obeying order of Allāh. Maybe twenty years they are like this. Maybe thirty years, maybe forty years, maybe sixty years, or more they forget. They not doing anything good. But when they asking forgiveness from Allāh, all this years it will be, Allāh forgive what you done – like "Bismi Llāh awwalahu wa-ākhirahu" from as you are not doing anything. Even Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, "Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyi’ātihim ḥasanāt" (25:70) – He make, changing bad deeds to good deeds to reward you.
This is Allāh's favour for people. He just want people to be ask for forgiveness, to forgive them. He want something to forgive them. Even whole life doing bad thing but the end they ask for forgiveness, He will forgive and changing the sins to reward. This is from His generous. We are, how this human being lucky. But even for this people they are not, they in ignorance not accepting, not knowing this, that not asking for this. Even only they are running after their desire and running after their ego not – the most of people they are going without asking forgiveness from Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And Allāh He is
asking for people, waiting for people to ask forgiveness, to forgive them. He is the most Merciful, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and waiting for people to forgive them even what they do in their life bad thing to changing to good thing.
We must be thankful for Him because we are not saying we are angel. We are also every day doing wrong thing, doing sins, sin and we are asking for forgiveness from Allāh. Alḥamdulilah we know He is changing this to reward, good deed for us and we are thanking Him. And as much we can thank Him it is not enough for Him but we are only small things for... We cannot say compare. No comparison, astaghfiru Llāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, nothing compare to Him. He is more Generous and only you asking. We are give us, thank for Allāh We are less than ants. We are only we thanking for what He give us, thanks for Allah.

187.TARIQAH IS A TRUST Monday, 26 November 2018
He knew Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim and Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh from his youth. He accompanied them throughout his life and accompanied the Awliyā’, he loved the Awliyā’ and the Prophet. His life was, Maa Shaa Allah, day and night spent in worship and praise. We rarely saw people like him. All his time was spent in worship, tasbīḥ, and dhikr. He was, Allāh bless him, a great mercy, but he was a person of states – ṣāḥibu l- aḥwāl Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim used to say he was "a person of states that even mountains can't carry."
Every Walī and every person has a special personality. He left people to the Lord, he didn't run after people. If someone left, then good bye. Whoever came was welcome, also welcome but not too much, a little bit. His level (maqām), Maa Shaa Allah – he loved the Awliyā’ and Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh, he loved him so much. Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim loved him a lot, and he loved him. He once said the greatest calamity for the murīd is the death of his Shaykh. For him it happened twice. He wished to meet them and go to them. In the end he endured sickness. He endured a severe illness, on his behalf and the behalf of the nation, on the behalf of the Muslims, In Sha Allah.
He traveled to the farthest countries of the world. He has lovers in every place, This is a grant from Allāh. Of course there are people who understand and others that don't, not important. What is important is for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to be pleased with him. Mā shā’a Llāh, we witnessed, we were with him many times. Maa Shaa Allah, there are few like him. After washing Maa Shaa Allah, and even before washing, there were no signs of death at all, he appeared as if asleep. Mawlānā Shaykh used to say, the death of the murīd is as if he closed his eyes and opened them in another room. Like that he was. Like that he was, alḥamdulilah.
Of course, this is Allāh's will, no objection to that. But the loss is hard, the separation is hard, but In Sha Allah he has faith. We wait because after the separation there's a meeting also – In Sha Allah in heaven for everyone. Shaykh ‘Adnān, Allāh rest his soul, took his turn and now is our turn. Alḥamdulilah he arrived. We said goodbye to him from here. We are sad for his farewell, as if he's traveling, and there Mashāyikh welcome him. Mawlānā Shaykh and Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh, and the brothers that are there from before, the ones that traveled to the Hereafter, were all happy. They welcomed him as a guest coming from afar, We are also the same. They received him, but of course for us it was separation. But in shā’a Llāh the separation is not forever, In Sha Allah. The separation will be forever if we leave this way and go in another way. Then, the separation will be forever. Sub Han Allah. When we are on the same way there's no problem. In Sha Allah, days are going fast. A person doesn't have to think that he is staying forever, there's nothing like that. I even saw some of the brothers today whom I haven't seen for 15, 20
years. One asked me, "Do you know who I am?" I looked at him and told him: "I didn't know you." Days are passing by quickly. For that, there is no sadness, In Sha Allah, there will be a meeting, In Sha Allah with everyone. This is the way of light, the way of happiness, the way of deliverance, the way of happiness and success, success in the Hereafter.
In this way when someone goes from the 40 saints, the Abdāl, all the Awliya’ that are in the dunyā, are replaced by another one. Allāh assigns someone in his place. Our Ṭarīqah is also like this. Now, In Sha Allah, Mawlānā Shaykh had assigned for the Arab countries: Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Gulf, Yemen, Oman, Sudan, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, In Sha Allah, now the appointment has come to Shaykh Muṣṭafá. He is in his place, In Sha Allah, he acts, there's no need to go. But the duty now, there should be one alive. In shā’a Llāh, Shaykh Muṣṭafá is here. Anything you want to ask, you ask of him. The same in Tripoli as you did during the life of Shaykh ‘Adnān, may Allāh have mercy on him. Shaykh ‘Adnān was doing the dhikr. Now the same way, he does the dhikr. Here, in this zāwiyah – if there's no objection you can come here. If there's an objection, you can find another place. But, In Sha Allah, there's no hardship.
This is an important issue for the Ṭarīqah. There must be someone to take over. This is not a place to play or follow someone's opinion or desire, no. Ṭarīqah must continue, it is a trust from Rasūla Llāh, from our Mashāyikh. Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim for 90 years he struggled and ran behind people to guide them. He went to every country, all over the world, and didn't leave any. In Sha Allah, Lebanon was one of the first and most important countries – especially Tripoli. In the past it was Tripoli and Shām, Tripoli and Shām. This country was also blessed by Shaykh ‘Adnān. People realized the truth about the groups that strayed and stayed away from them. They want Ṭarīqah, the Truth that follows Islamic Law (Sharī‘ah) and Rasūla Llāh on the outside and the inside, In Sha Allah. In Sha Allah, this can be with the blessing of Shaykh ‘Adnān also because Mawlānā Shaykh says: "After the death of a Walī, his power is seven times stronger than when he was alive." In Sha Allah, there will be a great opening. In Sha Allah, it will be Tripoli and Shām.
Since Mawlānā Shaykh means that here will be a center of guidance for Muslims, and will be on the right way. Groups appeared 40 years ago, all of them claimed to be on the right way, and they criticized our Ṭarīqah and criticized our Mashāyikh. But Allāh ﷻ revealed their reality and everyone is running away from them. In Sha Allah, they leave them and come to this right way, In Sha Allah. Our Ṭarīqah, our duty is to be faithful. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh this death is not wanted for dunyā, dunyā is trash, for Hereafter. For Hereafter there should be faithfulness in the heart. Today we went all over Tripoli, posters, mā shā’a Llāh, each one as long as a building. Posters, not for business, but with faithfulness and good intention. These our people, this group put them. Here in Lebanon there are sects and every sect has positives and negatives. I don't know but what I know
is that these groups should be here to serve the right way. But they see people as benefits, advantages: first as political advantage, and then as a material advantage. They view people like that. When they look like that, they will never succeed. Success is in sincerity, serving the people, serving Allāh, Allāh accepts from you. When you serve yourself, run and make people serve you for a benefit for dunyā, you don't succeed. This is the secret. It is not a secret, it is open. We say that all the problems are from the days of the Prophet. He used to always explain, but no one listens. There's no secret, everything is open. Who wants to succeed has to keep good intentions in his heart to serve people. This is for dunyā and Hereafter also, for the Ṭarīqah, the Islamic Law (Sharī‘ah), and the people. Allāh help us and help the Nation of Muḥammad. Shayṭān mostly attacks those on the right way. Wherever there is a right way you find hundreds and thousands of groups, ten thousand groups, each one against the other. When one is against the right way it is easy for them to agree. Allāh help us and help them.
Allāh have mercy on Shaykh ‘Adnān and make his blessing always present. Maa Shaa Allah we saw his kids and family. They're all, Maa Shaa Allah, from the good people, blessed and on the right way. You also, we advise you, since we rarely see children like this. Allāh have mercy on Shaykh Wāṣif, Maa Shaa Allah, his children are better than he. The rest, this is the problem – there were a hundred or more of the students, each had four or five kids. There used to be one thousand five hundred people here. There is no one now. This is a fault of yours. This is an important matter. Don't give money. Give advice, raise them right. When you give him money, he hits you on your head. You raise them right, they serve you. We see a lot of this – people complaining about their children. This is the most important thing – to leave your desires and pay attention to your children and raise them right. This is very important. After that there won't be a benefit for them, not in dunyā nor in the Hereafter. On the contrary, It will become as the Prophet said. There is a Hadith that says: "At the end of time raise a dog and don't raise a child." Muslims must pay attention to their children, In Sha Allah. Allāh save them and save their children, In Sha Allah.

188.HOW TO BE AWLIYAULLAH Thursday, 29 November 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.
If you want to live a comfortable life in this world, Allāh has opened the door for you. People are without peace. They are always worrying and stressed. And they are confused, not knowing what to do. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is showing the way to people and says: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā inna awliyā’a Llāh lā khawfun ‘alayhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn" (10:62). "Beloved servants of Allāh have no fear, no sorrow and no worry." Awliyā’ of Allāh are His beloved servants. You should try to become a beloved servant of Allāh.
When you say Awliyā’, people look for miracles. No. Allāh is saying, "If you follow the Prophet, Allāh will love you." "If you love Allāh, follow me," says our Prophet. "Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāh fa-ttabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh" (3:31). "If you love Allāh, follow me. Follow my sunnah and Allāh will love you. You'll be His beloved servant." A beloved servant of Allāh can only be a person who walks on the way shown by our Prophet. That is why... Of course, real Awliyā’, all of them are those who follow the way of our Prophet Who are they? They are the ones who love Ahlu l-Bayt, who love our Prophet, who love Ṣaḥābah, who love Awliyā’ and who walk on the way they show. Because they walk in the middle.
Those who walk on the sides, they've made up something according to their minds. No Awliyā’ can appear from them, not the one who has miracles, nor the one who is a beloved servant of Allāh. Because they don't accept the Prophet. How do they not accept? When they don't accept what he said, they say, "Our Prophet brought Qur’ān. That's it. I don't believe in ḥadīth." You can't be a walī of Allāh then, you can't be Allāh's beloved servant. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying openly in the Qur’ān Karīm by the tongue of our Prophet, "If you love Allāh, follow me. Allāh will love you then." This is it. This is the matter. If you follow it, you will be from the beloved servants of Allāh You won't have sorrow and sadness. Worry and bad things will stay away from you. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has shown it.
People are not doing it. And then they say, "We don't succeed." They're afraid of death and other things. They're afraid of everything. You should be afraid of Allāh. No need
to be afraid of other things. Because other things are temporary, they will vanish. Allāh is permanent. If you do good, you'll have it. If you do bad, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will punish you. That's why this matter is important. Be a beloved servant of Allāh Be close to Him and follow our Prophet. This way is a beautiful way. It is the way of people beloved by Allāh No need to look around. May Allāh make all of us firm on this way, In Sha Allah.
These days everybody they have very deep sadness, they have fear. They have anxious, they have everything specially in this modern time. This they said for this time, modern time: as much technology coming more higher, more technology, everything in technology, everything they can do – becoming people they become worse. But Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He show us how to be away from this bad situation saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā inna awliyā’a Llāh lā khawfun ‘alayhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn" (10:62).
Awliyā’u Llāh – what meaning 'beloved one for Allāh they have don't, they don't have any fear, they don't have any sadness. Why? Because they are with Allāh. Who is with Allāh how can be afraid from this dunyā, from this world, or from anybody? No. Because and how to be meaning Awliyā’u Llāh? There is two kind meaning for this. One who has waliyu Llāh, saints they have miracle, they have karāmah. They have good but normally everybody can be Awliyā’u Llāh. Other way – to be following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam because in Qur’ān also saying: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāh fattabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh" (3:31). "If you love Allāh, you must follow me. Allāh He love you." We so become beloved one for Allāh.
This is also waliyu Llāh but this is enough for people. People they are looking to be waliyu Llāh for karāmah, for benefit for themself but this no need to be waliyu Llāh. Also benefit for yourself, everything will be easy for you, no fear no sadness for you if you are beloved one for Allāh. And everybody can be like this. But it is one thing must do – you must follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. And even in other way also, real sense an awliyā’u Llāh who has karāmah with real one also who are following Prophet's ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam way, not going outside of this way. Who going outside of this way, making a new way, we never hear anyone from this people to be saint in Islām.
Who are in extreme people, they are not accepting Ahlu l-Bayt, or they not accepting Ṣaḥābah. This people this many people now in this our days, for this people they becoming more sadness, more unhappy, more stress. So why? Because they are they are praying, they are doing everything but not following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, not accepting his way, what he saying. Said, "This is we not accept this because this Ṣaḥābah all they are become..." Astaghfiru Llāh. They one of them they said they all become nonbeliever, kuffār because they not accepting what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam. Other saying, other say: so this people and they are praying more than you and me but they are not beloved one for Allāh.
It's easy just to accept Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and follow him. You become beloved one for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and you become safe here and hereafter. Allāh help us to follow, to be beloved one for Him – the most important thing in our life for here and for hereafter.

189.TO BE FROM PARADISE PEOPLE Friday, 30 November 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.
Of mankind – everyone will taste death. There is no escape from it. Last Sunday Ḥaḍrat Shaykh ‘Adnān took his turn and departed to Ākhirah. He went with goodness. He made a beautiful journey. "Yā ayyatuhā n-nafsu l-muṭma’inna irji‘ī ilá rabbiki rāḍiyatan marḍiyyah fa-dkhulī fī ‘ibādī wa-dkhulī jannatī" (89:27-30). "O the one with good nafs, who has trained his ego and has good manners, return to your Lord, enter paradise."
Now the grave, according to the ḥadīth of our Prophet, is either a hole in hell or a garden in Paradise. When he enters the grave, a door opens. He looks, it's a door to Paradise. Believers and Muslims go there. They wait there until Qiyāmah, until the resurrection. Then they will come out and enter the real Paradise. The grave is a place everyone will go. Therefore, people should be careful. It shouldn't be a hole from hell. You should be met by your Shaykh. Follow a Shaykh so that you have a guide and you are on the right way. When you have a murshid, he meets you first. When you go to Ākhirah, he meets you there. He is familiar to you so you are not afraid Then you'll be put in your maqām. After that you'll be in peace and joy.
Therefore, most people see in their dreams – many people saw Shaykh ‘Adnān in their dream. They see him very happy, satisfied, and pleased. Of course. His state was known. Therefore, our love for our Prophet should be complete too. Who loves our Prophet is saved. No worry for him. Most people say now, "I always pray. Will I be saved from hell?" If you are with our Prophet, you're safe. No need even to entertain a doubt. You'll be saved by the kindness of Allāh. Because Allāh gave you that love. He gave you the love for our Prophet, the love of Awliyā’, so you don't need to worry. Keep your thoughts about Allah good. Say that Allah will put you in Paradise. He is Merciful . Don’t say He will put you in hell. That is a bad thought. You will have thought badly of Allāh. Allāh‘s Mercy and Kindness are endless. Say He will be Merciful and won't put us in hell. Allāh's Mercy Oceans are endless . Just believe in Allāh's, believe in Allāh Mercy . The rest is easy.
So this is the matter. Death is something everyone will experience. They are going one by one. Just like things happen, school finishes, you go to the next and the next. It is the
same. May Allāh make us from those who pass this test. May we pass with īmān, In Sha Allah. May our īmān be strong so that no worry and no sorrow remain. The most important two things we say, are the love of our Prophet – and love of our Prophet is to do... There are many insane people now. They cry and scream which they call singing. And there are those who want to be like them. People love them. They do as they do. If you love our Prophet, you should do as he does. You should follow his ummah so that you have familiarity. And the second, the most important thing, is to trust in Allāh's Mercy, to think well of His Mercy. Allah is the most Merciful. No one is more merciful than Him. You should think, "He won't send us to hell." Allāh won't turn your thought away. That's very important. By the permission of Allāh all of you are safe, In Sha Allah.
Our life limited. Last Sunday Shaykh ‘Adnān, raḥmatu Llāhi ‘alayh, he left this world, the world of like dream. This world like dream compared to real life. This is only very short life and it is and it is for everybody this end. It will be everybody they have turn. They were in queue. When our turn coming, we will leave this world. This is Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taqdīr. But to leave it in such good way it will be for us the best because there is two way. But this, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are, In Sha Allah, with love of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, love mashāyikh, it will be nice leaving.
Like Shaykh ‘Adnān he left also whole murīd, In Sha Allah, will left. Because many people seeing Shaykh ‘Adnān in dream, he is very happy. He is finish his turn and he happy with mashāyikh, with meeting Grand Shaykhs – Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh ad-Dāghistānī wa Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī and whole Awliyā’. This is real happiness, not false happiness. False happiness it is in dunyā. In this world you be happy little bit, after you be sad months. So for this Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, for when somebody dying going to grave in this either it will be Paradise, garden from Paradise, or hole from hell. Who are believer there they put them and they go. They said there is it will be open one door and this door going, seeing Paradise and you will be there until Qiyāmah – Judgement Day. Or if you are not believer and you are not accept, it will be hole of one from hell. Until Qiyāmah you will be there.
Of course first they be receive him this Mashāyikh. After everybody he will be sometimes with them, sometimes they leave them for their maqām, their place. Waiting and not nothing affect them until Qiyāmah. This is very important for people because people they are thinking they are, when they die, finish. And even before going to grave they put their hell in dunyā, in world. They put them, they burn them in the world and they thought they are doing good but they are doing bad. And every time they make this darkness and bad thing coming to them when they burn some people. Because to burn it is not good at all. Even human being or animal not allowed in Islām to burn. So for this, they thought it is finish and even this it will be if they burn here also until Qiyāmah they will burn like this.
But our important thing for us, to be prepared for such a day because everybody they have this day. And this day, when you are accepting Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and you believe in Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla , He is the most Merciful and He is – to thinking good for Allāh. Because Allāh saying, "I am as My servant thinks about Me. I'm like this." So we are thinking for Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla He is most Merciful. Because many people they make people to be doubt. Say, "You not pray good. You are not doing this good. You are mushrik. You are, you will be in hell." So many people they are afraid and said, "It is difficult for us to go to Paradise." No. If you are believer, not difficult at all. Until... But if you are not thinking for Allāh good, you are thinking Allāh will put you in hell, maybe Allāh put you in hell because you are thinking. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying, "I'm in what My servant thinking about Me."
So for us there is two things very important you must follow this and you are sure you are from Paradise people. One of them to be follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, love of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. As Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla saying, "Follow My Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and I will be I will love you" (3:31). How follow? You can follow – make his sunnah, make his what he ask for it. Because there is now end of time. There is people going shouting as they are making music, wearing, putting some very ugly thing on them. Said people they love them they try to do same thing. So if you love Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, you also must be follow his sunnah. If not wearing, from wearing what he was wearing, but you must do for his good behave. At least you must be like this. Second one, to be hopeful from Allāh He will put you, He never put you in hell – you will be in Paradise. This two is enough for people to be from Paradise people. Allāh make us from them, In Sha Allah.

190.A TRAITOR IS ALWAYS AFRAID Saturday, 1 December 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 is saying, "Wa-anna Llāha lā yahdī kayda l-khā’inīn" (12:52). Our Prophet says, "Al-khā’in khā’if." Being a traitor is not a good attribute. Muslims can't have this. Betrayal is like unbelief and it is not from the beautiful attributes ordered in Islām. It is from the illness of the ego. We should be careful about it. Ego does it in order to put a person in a bad situation. You look, people you thought were friends of someone did something that surprises you. The person who does such a thing will always be in fear. He'll think, "What happens if they find out my deceit?" Whereas in Islām, they say look like who you are. Do goodness towards people and brothers in Islām. Islām orders good and forbids evil. Islām... A Muslim...
Our Prophet said, "Who is Muslim? A person who is trustworthy." And a Muslim doesn't fear anyone or anything. He knows he'll be questioned by Allāh and he lives in peace. Rather than living in fear and worry, he lives in goodness and peace. These are from the beautiful things ordered by Islām and our Prophet.
Therefore, we are living in the end of times now. People have become such that even without need, they do wrong. They put themselves in hardship in this world and infringe on the rights of others to account for it in the hereafter. Allāh's rights and people's rights are different. We need to ask forgiveness of people. Allāh forgives. But if there are people you have hurt, they need to forgive you. If not, you're in trouble. It is everywhere now, people harm others in order to get benefit from them. That is betrayal. Allāh doesn't accept it. They have no excuse in Islām, neither in ṭarīqah nor in Sharī‘ah. They should educate their egos. Because there are such egos which always try to harm people.
May Allāh protect us from them. May Allāh keep us from obeying our ego. May we be clean. May our faces be clean. May we not be ashamed in front of anyone. More importantly, being ashamed in front of Allāh is worse. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says in Qur’ān, "Wa-anna Llāha lā yahdī kayda l-khā’inīn" (12:52). and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu‘alayhi wa sallam: "Al-khā’in khā’if" – meaning Allāh not helping traitor people because traitor to be traitor like to be hypocrite. To harm people, people they are thought you are friend, you are brothers, you are like very close friend and making thing against them – for this Allāh saying, Allāh not help them. They do this some of them for benefit, some of them because they have illness of ego. One of illness of ego to be traitor, to not accept to be good with people, like to harm this people.
And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, "Al-khā’in khā’if." Traitor one he is always afraid. Why he is afraid? To not be known what he done. Every time he is looking, "Uh, maybe this people they will know what I'm..." Whole life going with fear, with anxious, to. But not looking for to make himself better. No. In Islām ordering to be good, to help people, to do good with people, not to do something to harm people. And when following this, not harming any people, Allāh help them, make them to be happy, make them to be no fear for them. Their life normal. To be whole life afraid and to be in like anxious, it is not good.
Allāh give belief. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam to good way to teach us the best way. One of them to be honest with people, with your friend. If you are not happy you can tell them. If you are not happy, you can be away. Not, no, not to harm people. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, "Muslim believer who how he is description believer – who one not harm people with hand and with tongue." This is people believer, Muslim. So other who are in now, in this days many people they forget about good behaviour and teaching of Islām. You see them making every bad thing. Even maybe some of them they can be with this what he done to put people in danger, or put them in jail, or they can kill them even with this traitor. So this is, you must keep ourself, teach ourself to be good with everything; to think first what will happen at the end of this what we do.
This is very common now in this days everywhere and Allāh punish people with this wars, with this to people going fighting each other. All this with reason. Not without
reason. What we see whole in this area from war, from disaster – all this coming from Allāh punish people for their bad deeds. Many people they not know. They thinking it is just like this happening. No. Is Allāh will, also to punish people but people still not understanding. Say, "What? From where this coming? We are very good people." No you are not good people.
Allāh make us to be good, In Sha Allah, to help us to be safe from our ego's illness, In Sha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
191.THIS WORLD WILL NOT REMAIN WITH US Sunday, 2 December 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.
Since the time of Adam, people have been coming to this world and leaving. Billions of people have come by turns. Allah appointed a life for everybody. One will live this life, [but] one must live here with goodness (khayr). The world will not remain with anyone; it has not remained, and will not remain, with anyone. We are guests here in this world, travelers. We come from one place traveling to another.
Last week, Shaykh Adnan met the Rahmah of Allah. His family and those who love him are upset, but there is nothing to be done to redo it; nothing can bring him back. The important thing is his having earned the next world. Those who make this life their goal are ruined. There are too many people in this world, those who do not think about the next world, those who do not believe in next world are the majority. They are the majority, but their number means nothing.
When not on the right path, even if it be all the world disbelieving, there is no benefit to it. They are of no use either for themselves or for Allah ‘azza wa jall. Allah ‘azza wa jalla wants your goodness, but He is not in need of it. Your bad deeds do not harm Him. Allah has provided for you so that you gain. Do what Allah ‘azza wa jalla says, so that you will be remembered with goodness (khayr), you find goodness (khayr). Otherwise, if you work for your desires and ego, you are harmed; there is no gain for you at all.
If one leaves in the same condition as he arrived in, it is better, because in arrival Allah creates people pure, in one’s departure [however] one is loaded with heavy sins, mountain-size sins. If people repent, Allah accepts their repentance, and substitutes good deeds in place of their sins. People are not aware of this blessing, the exchange. May Allah grant us awareness, keep us on the right path.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
192.WHAT SUITS A MUSLIM Monday, 3 December 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.
What is more appropriate for human being, especially for a Muslim, is to have control over himself. He should approach things with wisdom. He must have his dignity wherever he is. They say what is appropriate for a Muslim is to have dignity. Dignity means self-possession, not reacting in a hurry. The one who has no dignity acts suddenly towards everything. This means the person does not possess patience, and later regrets what he did or said. [But by his lack of patience,] he gives opportunity to the other person to maintain his own dignity and patience.
It is not good to deal with everybody. Everyone has his own level of being, has his place. When a woman says a thing to you, if you get up and answer, you become like a woman and have lost your dignity. In fact, if she keeps talking, do not listen to her and do not answer back. It will finish, and she will feel ashamed of what she did. Those who are not at your level are called the vulgar (‘awwāmu n-nās). When heading on a path suddenly, if you make a mistake, such a one deals with you and says things. You should either keep silent, or smile and let it go. This way he stays calm and relaxed, and you also stay calm and relaxed. But if, on the contrary, you move to answer back, he may harm you. Either he might physically fight with you, or he might use bad words against you. If you [then] react, and use bad words [too], you will lose your self worth.
This is why it is important to have control over one’s ego. Such a person is strong. There is a hadith from our Prophet which says that the one who is strong is not the one who can beat others, but the one who has control over his own ego. Indeed, to do this is good and difficult and beneficial—[all] at the same time! The result would be good, [and] in front of everyone you would continue to have dignity. They would not call you a lightweight. They instead would say that this person possesses dignity. You stay patient and have some control over yourself, and [then] observe the goodness of the result.
Today, ninety-nine percent of people lack this. This man said thus and so, [and] then you might have reacted and said something in return. The next day he ends up at your door starts swearing at you. Or the incident is an old one; there is no need to rekindle it.
May Allah give us the strength to have control over our ego. This requires a great strength, [but] gradually it is possible through training the ego.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
193.THE PRIVACY OF ANOTHER’S PERSONAL LIFE Tuesday, 4 December 2018
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Allah ‘azza wa jalla says: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa lā tajassasū,” which means interfering with the private lives of others and being curious about what others are doing. This is forbidden. To damage people, Satan has people do the opposite. They ask questions such as, “What are these people doing? What are they up to?” Later they pass information to others. Or even though they have no business in the thing, they enter themselves into others’ private affairs, then spread what they learn to other people— by which they commit a sin which is called “transgressing the other’s right”. This is a form of amusement for those and satisfies the doer’s desire. “What is this person doing? What is he up to?” With such questions and passing the information onto others is what the doer enjoys. This is a habit—a bad one. Also, he will be punished here and Hereafter, because when evil is done, certainly evil will return to you, not goodness. Calling oneself a “Muslim”, [and] then doing such evil to others. There are those tempting towards this evil. We have been a witness to this already. He calls himself a “Muslim”, then right after recognizing the weak point of the other, he tries to make the other do evil things. As we said, this is called tajassus. There are other greater or smaller things, and there are these things too, which ruin someone’s life. His action does not remain unpunished. Certainly Allah gives him punishment. He should not think this action will be beneficial for him. This is a habit, one of the worst habits of nafs. A person should train himself against it. As we say, this can suddenly become a big issue. It may also go against Allah, against government, or against people. This is not good character. Therefore Allah forbade such action. He says do not attempt tajassus.
Of course there are other things too, things that the government does for people, [for example,] they can check on what evil people are doing, [but] this is a different matter, but there is no need to search for what is in the lives of others. What is good is clear, evil is clear. You stay away from things you have no business with. May Allah forgive. Those with such bad habits should repent and ask forgiveness. Allah forgives from His own will.
