Suhbah 2019: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (4/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5529
āna ḍa‘īfa" (4:76). The trick of shayṭān, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, it is weak, not strong. Shayṭān he is weak. Why we say this? Because nowadays the most, from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now, the worst time for human being. From every kind, from killing, from destroying, from doing every bad thing, it is the worst time. The time of – you see shayṭān he is controlling everything. He... You see... You know... Somebody say, believer they maybe they hopeless. For this, we saying Allāh say, "Inna kayda sh- shayṭāni kāna ḍa‘īfa" (4:76). Shayṭān, even you see he controlling everything in this world, he he is not strong. Why he not strong? Because he is fighting Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. In front of Allāh he is very weak.
Now his time. Since beginning he doing this – time of Pharaoh time and Nimrod. This people they claim they are God. Other people also, many people they claim they are God and God He not, God never die. God only One. He not... nothing example for Him. Only this we can say: who died, he is not God. So this people also they come. There was bad time but not like this time. This time they are they saying no God even and this the most challenge for challenging Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who can challenge Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla? Only idiots, no mind people, who they are thinking they are most clever in this world. And they are very proud and seeing for other people like animal or idiot – they are worshipping, they are going doing this. But really the idiot one, who not accept and try to fight with Allāh – like Nimrod. There is a crazy one he say, "I'm God," and he take his bow and arrow and make high building and throw his arrow and he say, "I killed God, your God," to for Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. But this is crazy. Our, this time people it is more crazy.
That time they accept God but this time also this they are become more proud, more crazy and they are doing everything from trick for people to force them to follow their way. They are making law and they said, "You cannot refuse our law. If you refuse, you will be punished you." For they was also kings, they said about themself they are God. They are saying: "You accept us as God or you, if you not accept, you will be die." This people also now doing but with more hin (cunning) – more tricky. "You must accept our law. If you not accept this, you will be punished." So. But all this they are controlling everything in this world. Believer they are hopeless but Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, "Inna kayda sh-shayṭāni kāna ḍa‘īfa" (4:76). This, what they are doing, nothing. When Allāh want them, to destroy them, in one second He take them out.
They are, what they are doing like castle children they are doing near seaside. Castle... when they from sand. The big castle, maybe very huge castle they do but after half an
hour, one hour, coming wave take all this and go. Nothing left. This is for shayṭān what he is doing.
Allāh leave him. Leave him, leave him, leave him to be bring more and more and more more people. After they will be all destroyed and they be loser. The winner, in shā’a Llāh, who they don't lose their hope – the believer, Insha Allah. Allāh keep us safe from this shayṭān and his follower. This is dangerous time. Don't be cheated with him. Don't say he is rich, he has power, he has everything. Don't because this one second everything it finish. Allāh help us to reach time of this salṭanat of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.BE ON THE STRAIGHT WAY Monday, 11 February 2019.
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, there is an āyah in the Sūrah: "Sūratu l-Hūd made my beard turn white." The holy beard of our Prophet was black. He had only a few white ones and it was because of this āyah in Sūratu l-Hūd. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘ak" (11:112). It is ordered for our Prophet to be on the straight way. It says, "Those who are with you, who make tawbah, should have a destination, a straight way. They shouldn't lose their way."
There is a target. Keep on the way towards that target. Don't leave this way. Don't say, "We found a better way, we would rather be on that. We'll get more benefit. We will reach it faster." Don't be cheated like this. That is said not only to our Prophet, but for all the Ummah to be on the right path. Whatever the target is, head towards it. Everyone can go according to their abilities. Some people have powerful engines. They can go more steadily. Some are weak. But when weak, Allāh gives according to everyone's intention. So if you show persistence on that way, you will certainly reach it. You will earn the pleasure of Allāh But when you say, "There are other different things. I should leave this way, another way is better," then you leave it and lose your target and you get lost. It will have no benefit at all.
It is the order of Allāh, "Be on straight way." If you found a way, don't look at others. Keep on it. Keep on the way of Allāh. All kinds of goodness will come to you. You must be patient. Some wonder if something works or not. No need to fall into such doubt. If you gave your word and took bay‘ah, keep on that way. Allāh gives you according to that intention. So you have to check in the beginning if the way is that of our Prophet or not. There are many ṭuruq, true ones and fake ones. So if they follow sharī‘ah and follow ṭarīqah, go for it. Then don't look back. Don't look left or right. Look ahead.
May Allāh help us. May Allāh always keep us on the straight way and not let us lose it. Because its responsibility is big. May Allāh protect us. There is sūrah – Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he is saying for this sūrah "make my some of beard to become white." Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he is look like human being but he is, Allāh create him very different, very stronger than nobody can beat is like thirty-year-old body
and his was sixty-three-year-old he Even he, him said, "This white from fearing of Allāh beard was black, only little bit white. And he coming for me from this sūrah, Sūrat Hūd and there is one verse, āyah, in this – Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘ak" (11:112). "Be in straight way, you and who is with you." Don't go out of this way. This if you, for Prophet this it is very important. It is important for whole Ummah, for all until Qiyāmah, this order for all of us to be in straight way.
Don't go out. "Maybe I find better than this way. I can reach..." Because istiqāmah – to go straight – there is target and we are going to this target. Maybe they said, "We can go out little bit and go to this target more easier for us." No. When you go out from there you lose your target, even not your way, target also you will lose. Don't believe for people they are saying, "Come to us. We can take you." Many of them they said, "In one one year you can make you to see Prophet in dream. After you can see him in by your alive." Many people they are cheated by this people and then they are going there. They loose everything. They cannot be come back to where they was. To continue from where left they cannot be. For this we saying: be in straight with who are with him. Don't ask for more.
They say, "How is rābiṭah? How is... To be okay rābiṭah you only intend to make rābiṭah. Maybe ten seconds it's enough, enough. You do your intention, no need to ask for more. Only your test. You be in way and Allāh, if you are with patience, you are knowing this is way of Awliyā’, way of saints, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to Allāh ‘Azza, when He wa-Jalla. It is enough for you, the biggest favour for you this. So after, Allāh if you want, He can open for you. If not, in all this what you done, you patient it will be given for you in ākhirah and you will be happy. Because you don't have anything, only you believe and you in right way.
Istiqāmah it is big favour. So many people this days from you see them – like ṭarīqah, there is many ṭarīqah, but they are all many of them false, no connection, nothing. And this people trying to attract people saying, "You like this, you like that." People, some who are, don't have knowledge, they are cheated by them. So it is not important to attract people. And real ones, they are only showing people, without any promising, "You will be like this, you will be like that." Only what promise, in shā’a Llāh to be with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam because this way, Prophet's ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam way, Insha Allah, Allāh keep us in this way. And it is real big responsibility to guide people to with responsibility of not to take them out of the way. Allāh help us, all of them, to be standing strongly in this way, Insha Allah.

26.NO RACISM IN ISLAM Tuesday, 12 February 2019.
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 sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, "Laysa minnā man da‘ā ilá ‘aṣabīyah, laysa minnā man qātala ‘alá ‘asabīyah, laysa minnā man māta ‘alá ‘asabīyah." What is its meaning? Who calls for racism is not from us. Who fights for racism is not from us. Who dies for racism is not from us. There is no racism in Islām. Allāh created everyone. He created them as nations so that they get to know and help each other. There is no superiority. Superior is the one who asks for Allāh's pleasure. Superior is the one who fears Allāh. So there is nothing like "I am Arab and I am superior to all of you". Our Prophet said this. Because when you do like this, you divide Islām and the Muslims. You go against the words of Allāh and belittle them. "I am white, you are black or yellow." It's wrong to discriminate like that. You commit a sin when you do this. And there is punishment for a sin. As there is a reward for those gaining good deeds, who commits a sin will carry its punishment.
During the time of Islamic States all the people were seen as equal. Everyone had their rights. Certainly Allāh created special features for every nation. Some are stronger. Some are weaker. Some are good in trade. Some are good in other fields. So these governments treated them according to their conditions. Whatever they needed, they supported them. They wouldn't send fur to people who lived in the desert. And they wouldn't send light clothes to people who lived in the cold mountains. This is an example. And the best example is the Ottoman Empire. For 700 years, they got along well with everyone. They found a use for everyone according to their skills. How were they used? To serve the government. Who was the government? The Islamic government, the government of our Prophet, the government of Allāh. It was the khalīfah government.
And how did they destroy it afterwards? They could not destroy it with attacks from outside but from inside by saying, "You are Armenian, you are Greek, you are Turk, you are Cherkez, you are Arab, you are Kurdish." There were 70 nations within the Ottomans. They made them oppose each other, made them weak and divided into 70 countries. None alone has any use. Their use is only for shayṭān. Therefore, racism is not a good thing. It doesn't exist in Islām. You should love a person who fears Allāh. If he doesn't, even if he is of your race, don't obey him. I am not going to oppose Allāh because
you are Turkish. And I am not going to oppose Allāh because you are Kurdish. If my Turkish brother believes in Allāh, I am with him. If a Kurdish man is against Allāh, I won't be with him. If Cherkez is with Allāh, I am with him. If he is not, he is my enemy; he is not someone I favour. Even if he is not my enemy, I won't like him because the enemy of Allāh is my enemy. Enemies are... We don't see them as our brothers till they repent and come to the right way.
One of our brothers, a foreign Muslim convert, married an African lady. They have a daughter. He said there is a problem: she doesn't know how to say where she is from. She is not Austrian, as she looks African. If she says she is African... I told him she should say she is Muslim. There is no such discrimination among Muslims. When you are Muslim, no need to explain more.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made things easy. He gave us what has a good outcome. Otherwise, for no purpose, even when from the same race, Muslims can create enmity by saying "you're from here, I'm from there." And a person on the way of Islām doesn't discriminate. Whoever is better, he chooses him and stays away from bad one. May Allāh protect us. It is big fitnah. May Allāh protect the Ummah. May Allāh save us from this fitnah. Since 100- 150 years the Islamic world has been divided by this fitnah. May Allāh send the Sahib who will gather everyone, Insha Allah.
Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Man da‘ā ilá ‘asabīyatin laysa minnā, man qātala ‘alá ‘asabīyatin laysa minnā, man māta ‘alá ‘aṣabīyatin fa-laysa minnā." Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying who calling for race, he is not from us. Who fights for race, he is not for us, from us. Who dies for race, he is also not from us. This is very big thing to not be with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It is important. Islām there are no races. Muslim races - Islām everybody, every Muslim, they are, must be brother - not looking for who is our race, our from Arab: "We are the most perfect people. We are Turk also you are better. You are from Irani better or Farsi better or Chinese or Indian or this race" - you cannot. In Islām not allowed this, not acceptable because all race, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create them to know each other and to be, to get better. And to be the best one - who afraid from Allāh and call following Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Saying nothing, you don't you mustn't say this - "He is from, not from our race, from our nation. We will not follow him." No. Many people, many awliyā’u Llāh, many ‘ulamā’ scholar who make rule for Islām, for ṭarīqah, for madhhab, for everything, from different race. Not only from Arab, not only from Farsi, not only from Turk. Many of them all time they was not looking for difference between race. Only going from place to place to for knowledge, from coming from maybe from Damascus going Bukhara, from Bukhara coming to Cairo, from Konya going to Baghdad. It was no difference at all. It was this is, it was time of State of Islām, Khalīfah, who following Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam.
After it was until end of Ottoman Khalīfah and they was most perfect one for this - to giving each race their, what they want. It was Ottoman Empire. They was very good to manage this. six hundred, seven hundred years it was going on, everybody was happy. Muslim, non- Muslim, poor, they was given what they in need, what they must have, they give. They not giving... because many race they cannot live in another place. Their places is suitable, Allāh create them there. So this Islamic Empire they was looking for what they want - like hot country, desert country, they not send them wool or thick thing for to wear or to not give they call the place something not suitable for them. It was like this until this shayṭān coming and make this races in Islām. And they destroy this Khilāfah. Because from outside they was attacking, attacking - they cannot finish it. Only from inside they crushed. They make it was more than seventy races in Ottoman Empire and everybody was living together with peace and happiness. But when this coming, before hundred years or hundred and fifty years, they crush all this big empire.
For this Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, he said this who asking, calling for race, he is not from us. Only we must be happy with people. Even from your race, he is not following or not accepting truth, he is not our friend. Even he is Turk or even he is Arab, even he is Kurd. Everyone must know this who following order of Allāh, he is our brother. Who not following, he is, we are not obligatory to be happy with him. Only we must be happy with who following way of Allāh and order of Allāh. Allāh help us. Allāh make all this people to come together. But it is difficult, really very difficult. Even in same race they said, "You are from this city. We are not happy with this city. That city is they are crook people. This city they are idiot people. This city..." Even same race, they this divided coming everywhere.
Only, Insha Allah, when Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām coming he will finish all this fitnah. Before, it is difficult, very difficult to finish. And, Insha Allah, time it's not so far - near, Insha Allah. Allāh make us to reach this good time and to be see this fitnah finish, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
27.WHO IS THE MOST STINGY ONE Wednesday, 13 February 2019.
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 is saying, the stingiest among people is the one who doesn't give salām. Allāh doesn't like stinginess. Stinginess is a disliked attribute. Mankind in general likes stinginess. Allāh doesn't like that attribute. When you give salām, at least, you are released from that attribute a little bit. And of course, we have to get rid of stinginess. Stinginess is bad character. Certainly a stingy one has to look after his family first and then after others. To say "I am not stingy" and give to others but not to his family is another foolishness. It's wrong. Our Prophet says relatives come first. Start with your relatives, then others and the weakest person, our Prophet says, is the person who doesn't make du‘ā’. Du‘ā’ is a big weapon, a big favour. Who doesn't do it is a weak person. Because when something happens and he makes du‘ā’, his work will go well with that du‘ā’. It becomes a remedy and he gets what he hopes for. Allāh says, "Make du‘ā’ to Me." Your weakness will be gone. You will have trusted in Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives you strength when you make du‘ā’. It has big benefit. Du‘ā’ is a big favour for Muslims. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave it to us. Use it. Who doesn't, who can't use it is weak. He is a useless person.
Therefore, these two things are important. We should be careful about them. Whoever you see, familiar or non-familiar, to greet them is good. We hear sometimes, because of stinginess some people, who belong to the jamā‘ah or ṭarīqah, don't give or take salām from others. It happened to me a couple of times. As my voice is always quiet, I thought they didn't hear me. In fact, they heard but ignored my salām. And it is sunnah to give and take salām. They committed a sin then. Therefore, we have to be careful. If someone gives salām, you should acknowledge it. And you should give salām to others.
May Allāh keep these good attributes in our minds, Insha Allah.
Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying the most stingy one, who is most stingy one? Who is not greeting people with as-Salāmu ‘alaykum. Not giving salām this is the most stingy one. To be greedy, stingy, it is the worst attribute. Allāh not like this. Allah even He like who is not doing anything from Islām but he is generous – more than who worshipping and doing everything with stingy. To be greedy this is not good. And
common people they are stingy. People, all human being, most of them stingy. But to be the most stingy it is not good. Even for this Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, saying to say Salāmu ‘alaykum you will be, even you are stingy, but not the worst one. You will be little bit better and with this maybe you can get rid of this stingy attribute.
But of course to be generous first, if you are not so wealthy, first thing you must look for your family, for your near. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying: to the nearest one most important. They have to be look for them, the most nearest – one your family. After your family you look for other also for neighbour, for other people who are in need. But first you must be balance what you are doing, not giving everything for other and after you have nothing in for your family, for your children. It's also not good. Everything in balance in Islām.
And second thing Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, the most – aciz nasıldı? Ah – weak, weak he cannot do anything. He the weakest one who they are not praying, make like [you] to ask Him Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla also He du‘ā’, asking from Allāh and to what you are need. You can make du‘ā’, "Oh my Lord give me health, give me wealth, give me children, give me wife, give me house, give me īmān, give me to be ḥajj. Everything what you are good you can ask from Allāh. He is happy. People they are not happy to ask them what anything. Many people maybe once, twice you ask okay. But if every time coming asking, asking from him he will fed up from you. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla no. He like people to insist from asking. Ask. And He is not happy with who are not asking. For this He said the most biggest not no benefit from them, who are not making praying asking from Him, not doing du‘ā’. And it is real good thing for us.
Only benefit all this for us not for another one and it is easy. You can, you not doing tire, you are not working or tire yourself. Only you make du‘ā’ and you say salām also. This is very nice from Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He tell us everything. He say the best thing and Alhamdulilah, Insha Allah, today for this Allāh make us our du‘ā’ acceptable and to give all the best and to give strong īmān and to be whole time in right way, Insha Allah, and make people to come this to this way.
Allah accept this.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
28.THE WISDOM IN FOLLOWING THE SUNNAH Thursday, 14 February 2019
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.
Following the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) is good and is a good deed for us. The Prophet (SAW) said, “Whoever fulfills my Sunnah in the End Days, Allah gives him the reward (thawāb) of a hundred martyrs.” To be a martyr is not an easy thing. The Prophet (SAW) said, “A hundred martyrs’ deeds are given.” What is the Sunnah of our Prophet (SAW)? It is what he did, whatever he did, to do that. It is the way he behaved. Not to act as other people do, but how the Prophet (SAW) did, for example, eating with the right hand, to enter mosques with the right foot, to exit mosques with the left foot first. It is all about doing what he did while eating, drinking, during a journey, etc. If we keep following the Prophet’s (SAW) Sunnah, it will turn into a habit. Allah rewards us for following and fulfilling them consistently.
Their benefits are many, too. As well as receiving spiritual benefits, you also receive benefits in this world, as your deeds and affairs go more easily, [such as] whatever you eat or drink becomes healthy for you. If you have a journey to make, it too goes easy and benefits you. This is the reward of the Prophet (SAW). Following his Sunnah is as beneficial in the material world as in the spiritual. Do not waste food—this is the order of the Prophet (SAW). Leave the table before you are full. Do not eat until you are stuffed. If there are crumbs leftover, take them. Do not leave anything on your plate. The Prophet (SAW) showed the best way in everything. Also what he (SAW) advised is Sunnah. May Allah have us fulfill these acts successfully.
Of course, the Prophet (SAW) has thousands of sunnahs. We are to do as much as we know. Doing what we know is sufficient for us, too. May Allah accept them, and make us successful in them.
May Allah ‘azza wa jalla have us follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW), Insha Allah. May we receive his intersession! Those who follow his Sunnah do receive his intersession, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
29.TO BE THANKFUL Friday, 15 February 2019
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.
It is necessary to give thanks for Allah’s provisions. Allah jalla jalālahu provided us with so much, but mankind does not know value of His provision. They will not know, until something happens to them. Then one knows the value. After losing one’s health, after being ill, then one knows its value. He knows the value of his youth, when he is old. A person knows the value of many things, after he loses them. That is why one should have gratitude. It is said that the human body has 365 components. One should give sadaqah for every part. This is called gratitude. If one cannot afford to give charity, then one should pray two rakats of salah. This also is counted as charity. In the time of the Prophet (SAW), there were periods of financial difficulty. When his companions said they could not give charity, the Prophet (SAW) said, “Just removing a stone from the road is a charity.” It is a charity—just a small good deed! If you perform two rakats of salah, that means that you have fulfilled this duty. Being thankful [both] increases [one’s] provisions, and one [thereby] performs one’s duty towards Allah. Even a little thing! Allah does not need it, but you happen in this way to remember Him out of respect. These people do not open their mouth for good. You ask them, “How are you?” and they reply, “Wa’Llahi, the situation is bad. This is this way, that is that way... ” But look at yourself! You are standing up on your feet, strong. Thank Allah you are not suffering hunger, not thirsty, [and that] you get by each day. Instead of being thankful, one complains. To complain is not a good thing. One must show gratitude. [Even] one’s whole life would not be long enough to show [sufficient] gratitude for one of Allah’s provisions. As there are thousands of them, we need to remain in a state of gratitude. This is the way to show respect, and it is a duty. By “respect” is meant “duty”. Such gratefulness is beneficial to oneself and others, insha’Allah. May it be beneficial for our land and for Islam, insha’Allah. May Allah have Muslims show gratitude. If they do so, they do good for themselves. If not, and they complain instead, it is useless. May Allah give us plentifully and bless us! May He give us peace and security! May He may protect us from Satan and these Satan-like people, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
30.THE DOOR OF KHAYR Saturday, 16 February 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The Prophet (SAW) recited a prayer: “Allahumma, lā taj‘al ad-dunyā akbara hamminā wa lā mablagha ‘ilminā.” “O Allah, let not the world be our only concern,” he said.
This is a prayer. Let us not live for this world: the life in world is just means to do good. Do not run after it! Do not have it as your target or purpose.
Have the pleasure of Allah, the pleasure of the Prophet (SAW), as your aim. If you do good, hajj, zakat, etc. as a means of goodness, it is better for you. If not, and if instead you run after this world, there is no point—the world runs away from you! If otherwise, then Allah makes the world run after you. Everything takes place as Allah wants. You may ask for this world as much as you wish, [but] as long as Allah does not want it so, there is no use in your asking. Therefore, do not do things for this world, but for Allah. When the door is opened for you, do not pass it up. It is good. It is from Allah. Leave this world and be not in need of it. When Allah ‘azza wa jalla opens a door for you, go through it. Make the most of that door: it is a provision from Allah. Do not forget Allah. Do not forget His rights. Do not forget the path of the Prophet (SAW).
Some people say; “No, we do not want anything,” [but] then they run after this world, [and] the world runs away from them. Right from the beginning, let your intention be to earn the pleasure of Allah, not this world. This is important, [but] people do not realize this. This world and the next one complete each other. When you have worldly things, you are able to help people more — just let your intention be to do so for Allah’s pleasure.
May we also be granted such opportunities. Without being in need of anyone, may the door of the pleasure of Allah be open to us, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

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.

There is a great reward for those who memorize and recite the 99 names of Allah. There is a great benefit and wisdom in it. Allah’s names manifest at all times. Now it is the name As-Ṣabūr (The Patient One) who is manifesting itself, [and] which divine name means “the One who is extremely patient”.
No other generation of the past was in such severe rebellion, denial of the truth, [and] committing such a degree of sins. Since the time of Adam (AS) there has been no era as bad as this one.
Had it been another era, Allah ‘azza wa jalla would have destroyed it. But As-Ṣabūr, due to [Allah’s] extreme patience [manifested in this Name] people are still safe. Without this, Allah ‘azza wa jalla would have destroyed them. As-Ṣabūr is His last name. After this is the End. After this people will give their account. This is the time of [spiritual] commerce. The more difficult it is, the more profit there is. People are in forgetfulness of Allah; they follow their ego, desires. Those who do not repent will be destroyed.
Of course, the majority of people are in this state. Those who are protected are in the minority, but they are the successful ones.
May Allah protect all of us! May we pass these bad days in safety, Insha Allah. May we be the servants whom Allah protects. These lands are the lands of Islam. May Allah help Muslim children! May He protect them from these evil ones, Insha Allah!
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
32.THE OUTWARDLY APPARENT ( ENVY IS FROM SHAYTAN) Thursday, 21 February 2019
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 created mankind noble. Given these attributes, it is necessary to show respect to people so that they might come to the path of Allah. When one comes to the path, [then] becomes possible for him to be perfected. Everyone has a path, a way that he approaches things, a way he speaks. Everyone has his own style, [and] accordingly they can be approached.
After seeing a turban and the jubba, some people, not just not speaking, may even run away from you. Or it might be that there are others who are dressed like themselves, [and] when these people approach them, they begin to spe

āna ḍa‘īfa" (4:76). The trick of shayṭān, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, it is weak, not strong. Shayṭān he is weak. Why we say this? Because nowadays the most, from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now, the worst time for human being. From every kind, from killing, from destroying, from doing every bad thing, it is the worst time. The time of – you see shayṭān he is controlling everything. He... You see... You know... Somebody say, believer they maybe they hopeless. For this, we saying Allāh say, "Inna kayda sh- shayṭāni kāna ḍa‘īfa" (4:76). Shayṭān, even you see he controlling everything in this world, he he is not strong. Why he not strong? Because he is fighting Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. In front of Allāh he is very weak.
Now his time. Since beginning he doing this – time of Pharaoh time and Nimrod. This people they claim they are God. Other people also, many people they claim they are God and God He not, God never die. God only One. He not... nothing example for Him. Only this we can say: who died, he is not God. So this people also they come. There was bad time but not like this time. This time they are they saying no God even and this the most challenge for challenging Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who can challenge Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla? Only idiots, no mind people, who they are thinking they are most clever in this world. And they are very proud and seeing for other people like animal or idiot – they are worshipping, they are going doing this. But really the idiot one, who not accept and try to fight with Allāh – like Nimrod. There is a crazy one he say, "I'm God," and he take his bow and arrow and make high building and throw his arrow and he say, "I killed God, your God," to for Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. But this is crazy. Our, this time people it is more crazy.
That time they accept God but this time also this they are become more proud, more crazy and they are doing everything from trick for people to force them to follow their way. They are making law and they said, "You cannot refuse our law. If you refuse, you will be punished you." For they was also kings, they said about themself they are God. They are saying: "You accept us as God or you, if you not accept, you will be die." This people also now doing but with more hin (cunning) – more tricky. "You must accept our law. If you not accept this, you will be punished." So. But all this they are controlling everything in this world. Believer they are hopeless but Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, "Inna kayda sh-shayṭāni kāna ḍa‘īfa" (4:76). This, what they are doing, nothing. When Allāh want them, to destroy them, in one second He take them out.
They are, what they are doing like castle children they are doing near seaside. Castle... when they from sand. The big castle, maybe very huge castle they do but after half an
hour, one hour, coming wave take all this and go. Nothing left. This is for shayṭān what he is doing.
Allāh leave him. Leave him, leave him, leave him to be bring more and more and more more people. After they will be all destroyed and they be loser. The winner, in shā’a Llāh, who they don't lose their hope – the believer, Insha Allah. Allāh keep us safe from this shayṭān and his follower. This is dangerous time. Don't be cheated with him. Don't say he is rich, he has power, he has everything. Don't because this one second everything it finish. Allāh help us to reach time of this salṭanat of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.BE ON THE STRAIGHT WAY Monday, 11 February 2019.
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, there is an āyah in the Sūrah: "Sūratu l-Hūd made my beard turn white." The holy beard of our Prophet was black. He had only a few white ones and it was because of this āyah in Sūratu l-Hūd. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘ak" (11:112). It is ordered for our Prophet to be on the straight way. It says, "Those who are with you, who make tawbah, should have a destination, a straight way. They shouldn't lose their way."
There is a target. Keep on the way towards that target. Don't leave this way. Don't say, "We found a better way, we would rather be on that. We'll get more benefit. We will reach it faster." Don't be cheated like this. That is said not only to our Prophet, but for all the Ummah to be on the right path. Whatever the target is, head towards it. Everyone can go according to their abilities. Some people have powerful engines. They can go more steadily. Some are weak. But when weak, Allāh gives according to everyone's intention. So if you show persistence on that way, you will certainly reach it. You will earn the pleasure of Allāh But when you say, "There are other different things. I should leave this way, another way is better," then you leave it and lose your target and you get lost. It will have no benefit at all.
It is the order of Allāh, "Be on straight way." If you found a way, don't look at others. Keep on it. Keep on the way of Allāh. All kinds of goodness will come to you. You must be patient. Some wonder if something works or not. No need to fall into such doubt. If you gave your word and took bay‘ah, keep on that way. Allāh gives you according to that intention. So you have to check in the beginning if the way is that of our Prophet or not. There are many ṭuruq, true ones and fake ones. So if they follow sharī‘ah and follow ṭarīqah, go for it. Then don't look back. Don't look left or right. Look ahead.
May Allāh help us. May Allāh always keep us on the straight way and not let us lose it. Because its responsibility is big. May Allāh protect us. There is sūrah – Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he is saying for this sūrah "make my some of beard to become white." Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he is look like human being but he is, Allāh create him very different, very stronger than nobody can beat is like thirty-year-old body
and his was sixty-three-year-old he Even he, him said, "This white from fearing of Allāh beard was black, only little bit white. And he coming for me from this sūrah, Sūrat Hūd and there is one verse, āyah, in this – Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘ak" (11:112). "Be in straight way, you and who is with you." Don't go out of this way. This if you, for Prophet this it is very important. It is important for whole Ummah, for all until Qiyāmah, this order for all of us to be in straight way.
Don't go out. "Maybe I find better than this way. I can reach..." Because istiqāmah – to go straight – there is target and we are going to this target. Maybe they said, "We can go out little bit and go to this target more easier for us." No. When you go out from there you lose your target, even not your way, target also you will lose. Don't believe for people they are saying, "Come to us. We can take you." Many of them they said, "In one one year you can make you to see Prophet in dream. After you can see him in by your alive." Many people they are cheated by this people and then they are going there. They loose everything. They cannot be come back to where they was. To continue from where left they cannot be. For this we saying: be in straight with who are with him. Don't ask for more.
They say, "How is rābiṭah? How is... To be okay rābiṭah you only intend to make rābiṭah. Maybe ten seconds it's enough, enough. You do your intention, no need to ask for more. Only your test. You be in way and Allāh, if you are with patience, you are knowing this is way of Awliyā’, way of saints, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to Allāh ‘Azza, when He wa-Jalla. It is enough for you, the biggest favour for you this. So after, Allāh if you want, He can open for you. If not, in all this what you done, you patient it will be given for you in ākhirah and you will be happy. Because you don't have anything, only you believe and you in right way.
Istiqāmah it is big favour. So many people this days from you see them – like ṭarīqah, there is many ṭarīqah, but they are all many of them false, no connection, nothing. And this people trying to attract people saying, "You like this, you like that." People, some who are, don't have knowledge, they are cheated by them. So it is not important to attract people. And real ones, they are only showing people, without any promising, "You will be like this, you will be like that." Only what promise, in shā’a Llāh to be with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam because this way, Prophet's ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam way, Insha Allah, Allāh keep us in this way. And it is real big responsibility to guide people to with responsibility of not to take them out of the way. Allāh help us, all of them, to be standing strongly in this way, Insha Allah.

26.NO RACISM IN ISLAM Tuesday, 12 February 2019.
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 sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, "Laysa minnā man da‘ā ilá ‘aṣabīyah, laysa minnā man qātala ‘alá ‘asabīyah, laysa minnā man māta ‘alá ‘asabīyah." What is its meaning? Who calls for racism is not from us. Who fights for racism is not from us. Who dies for racism is not from us. There is no racism in Islām. Allāh created everyone. He created them as nations so that they get to know and help each other. There is no superiority. Superior is the one who asks for Allāh's pleasure. Superior is the one who fears Allāh. So there is nothing like "I am Arab and I am superior to all of you". Our Prophet said this. Because when you do like this, you divide Islām and the Muslims. You go against the words of Allāh and belittle them. "I am white, you are black or yellow." It's wrong to discriminate like that. You commit a sin when you do this. And there is punishment for a sin. As there is a reward for those gaining good deeds, who commits a sin will carry its punishment.
During the time of Islamic States all the people were seen as equal. Everyone had their rights. Certainly Allāh created special features for every nation. Some are stronger. Some are weaker. Some are good in trade. Some are good in other fields. So these governments treated them according to their conditions. Whatever they needed, they supported them. They wouldn't send fur to people who lived in the desert. And they wouldn't send light clothes to people who lived in the cold mountains. This is an example. And the best example is the Ottoman Empire. For 700 years, they got along well with everyone. They found a use for everyone according to their skills. How were they used? To serve the government. Who was the government? The Islamic government, the government of our Prophet, the government of Allāh. It was the khalīfah government.
And how did they destroy it afterwards? They could not destroy it with attacks from outside but from inside by saying, "You are Armenian, you are Greek, you are Turk, you are Cherkez, you are Arab, you are Kurdish." There were 70 nations within the Ottomans. They made them oppose each other, made them weak and divided into 70 countries. None alone has any use. Their use is only for shayṭān. Therefore, racism is not a good thing. It doesn't exist in Islām. You should love a person who fears Allāh. If he doesn't, even if he is of your race, don't obey him. I am not going to oppose Allāh because
you are Turkish. And I am not going to oppose Allāh because you are Kurdish. If my Turkish brother believes in Allāh, I am with him. If a Kurdish man is against Allāh, I won't be with him. If Cherkez is with Allāh, I am with him. If he is not, he is my enemy; he is not someone I favour. Even if he is not my enemy, I won't like him because the enemy of Allāh is my enemy. Enemies are... We don't see them as our brothers till they repent and come to the right way.
One of our brothers, a foreign Muslim convert, married an African lady. They have a daughter. He said there is a problem: she doesn't know how to say where she is from. She is not Austrian, as she looks African. If she says she is African... I told him she should say she is Muslim. There is no such discrimination among Muslims. When you are Muslim, no need to explain more.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made things easy. He gave us what has a good outcome. Otherwise, for no purpose, even when from the same race, Muslims can create enmity by saying "you're from here, I'm from there." And a person on the way of Islām doesn't discriminate. Whoever is better, he chooses him and stays away from bad one. May Allāh protect us. It is big fitnah. May Allāh protect the Ummah. May Allāh save us from this fitnah. Since 100- 150 years the Islamic world has been divided by this fitnah. May Allāh send the Sahib who will gather everyone, Insha Allah.
Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Man da‘ā ilá ‘asabīyatin laysa minnā, man qātala ‘alá ‘asabīyatin laysa minnā, man māta ‘alá ‘aṣabīyatin fa-laysa minnā." Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying who calling for race, he is not from us. Who fights for race, he is not for us, from us. Who dies for race, he is also not from us. This is very big thing to not be with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It is important. Islām there are no races. Muslim races - Islām everybody, every Muslim, they are, must be brother - not looking for who is our race, our from Arab: "We are the most perfect people. We are Turk also you are better. You are from Irani better or Farsi better or Chinese or Indian or this race" - you cannot. In Islām not allowed this, not acceptable because all race, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create them to know each other and to be, to get better. And to be the best one - who afraid from Allāh and call following Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Saying nothing, you don't you mustn't say this - "He is from, not from our race, from our nation. We will not follow him." No. Many people, many awliyā’u Llāh, many ‘ulamā’ scholar who make rule for Islām, for ṭarīqah, for madhhab, for everything, from different race. Not only from Arab, not only from Farsi, not only from Turk. Many of them all time they was not looking for difference between race. Only going from place to place to for knowledge, from coming from maybe from Damascus going Bukhara, from Bukhara coming to Cairo, from Konya going to Baghdad. It was no difference at all. It was this is, it was time of State of Islām, Khalīfah, who following Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam.
After it was until end of Ottoman Khalīfah and they was most perfect one for this - to giving each race their, what they want. It was Ottoman Empire. They was very good to manage this. six hundred, seven hundred years it was going on, everybody was happy. Muslim, non- Muslim, poor, they was given what they in need, what they must have, they give. They not giving... because many race they cannot live in another place. Their places is suitable, Allāh create them there. So this Islamic Empire they was looking for what they want - like hot country, desert country, they not send them wool or thick thing for to wear or to not give they call the place something not suitable for them. It was like this until this shayṭān coming and make this races in Islām. And they destroy this Khilāfah. Because from outside they was attacking, attacking - they cannot finish it. Only from inside they crushed. They make it was more than seventy races in Ottoman Empire and everybody was living together with peace and happiness. But when this coming, before hundred years or hundred and fifty years, they crush all this big empire.
For this Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, he said this who asking, calling for race, he is not from us. Only we must be happy with people. Even from your race, he is not following or not accepting truth, he is not our friend. Even he is Turk or even he is Arab, even he is Kurd. Everyone must know this who following order of Allāh, he is our brother. Who not following, he is, we are not obligatory to be happy with him. Only we must be happy with who following way of Allāh and order of Allāh. Allāh help us. Allāh make all this people to come together. But it is difficult, really very difficult. Even in same race they said, "You are from this city. We are not happy with this city. That city is they are crook people. This city they are idiot people. This city..." Even same race, they this divided coming everywhere.
Only, Insha Allah, when Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām coming he will finish all this fitnah. Before, it is difficult, very difficult to finish. And, Insha Allah, time it's not so far - near, Insha Allah. Allāh make us to reach this good time and to be see this fitnah finish, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
27.WHO IS THE MOST STINGY ONE Wednesday, 13 February 2019.
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 is saying, the stingiest among people is the one who doesn't give salām. Allāh doesn't like stinginess. Stinginess is a disliked attribute. Mankind in general likes stinginess. Allāh doesn't like that attribute. When you give salām, at least, you are released from that attribute a little bit. And of course, we have to get rid of stinginess. Stinginess is bad character. Certainly a stingy one has to look after his family first and then after others. To say "I am not stingy" and give to others but not to his family is another foolishness. It's wrong. Our Prophet says relatives come first. Start with your relatives, then others and the weakest person, our Prophet says, is the person who doesn't make du‘ā’. Du‘ā’ is a big weapon, a big favour. Who doesn't do it is a weak person. Because when something happens and he makes du‘ā’, his work will go well with that du‘ā’. It becomes a remedy and he gets what he hopes for. Allāh says, "Make du‘ā’ to Me." Your weakness will be gone. You will have trusted in Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives you strength when you make du‘ā’. It has big benefit. Du‘ā’ is a big favour for Muslims. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave it to us. Use it. Who doesn't, who can't use it is weak. He is a useless person.
Therefore, these two things are important. We should be careful about them. Whoever you see, familiar or non-familiar, to greet them is good. We hear sometimes, because of stinginess some people, who belong to the jamā‘ah or ṭarīqah, don't give or take salām from others. It happened to me a couple of times. As my voice is always quiet, I thought they didn't hear me. In fact, they heard but ignored my salām. And it is sunnah to give and take salām. They committed a sin then. Therefore, we have to be careful. If someone gives salām, you should acknowledge it. And you should give salām to others.
May Allāh keep these good attributes in our minds, Insha Allah.
Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying the most stingy one, who is most stingy one? Who is not greeting people with as-Salāmu ‘alaykum. Not giving salām this is the most stingy one. To be greedy, stingy, it is the worst attribute. Allāh not like this. Allah even He like who is not doing anything from Islām but he is generous – more than who worshipping and doing everything with stingy. To be greedy this is not good. And
common people they are stingy. People, all human being, most of them stingy. But to be the most stingy it is not good. Even for this Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, saying to say Salāmu ‘alaykum you will be, even you are stingy, but not the worst one. You will be little bit better and with this maybe you can get rid of this stingy attribute.
But of course to be generous first, if you are not so wealthy, first thing you must look for your family, for your near. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying: to the nearest one most important. They have to be look for them, the most nearest – one your family. After your family you look for other also for neighbour, for other people who are in need. But first you must be balance what you are doing, not giving everything for other and after you have nothing in for your family, for your children. It's also not good. Everything in balance in Islām.
And second thing Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, the most – aciz nasıldı? Ah – weak, weak he cannot do anything. He the weakest one who they are not praying, make like [you] to ask Him Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla also He du‘ā’, asking from Allāh and to what you are need. You can make du‘ā’, "Oh my Lord give me health, give me wealth, give me children, give me wife, give me house, give me īmān, give me to be ḥajj. Everything what you are good you can ask from Allāh. He is happy. People they are not happy to ask them what anything. Many people maybe once, twice you ask okay. But if every time coming asking, asking from him he will fed up from you. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla no. He like people to insist from asking. Ask. And He is not happy with who are not asking. For this He said the most biggest not no benefit from them, who are not making praying asking from Him, not doing du‘ā’. And it is real good thing for us.
Only benefit all this for us not for another one and it is easy. You can, you not doing tire, you are not working or tire yourself. Only you make du‘ā’ and you say salām also. This is very nice from Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He tell us everything. He say the best thing and Alhamdulilah, Insha Allah, today for this Allāh make us our du‘ā’ acceptable and to give all the best and to give strong īmān and to be whole time in right way, Insha Allah, and make people to come this to this way.
Allah accept this.

28.THE WISDOM IN FOLLOWING THE SUNNAH Thursday, 14 February 2019
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.
Following the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) is good and is a good deed for us. The Prophet (SAW) said, “Whoever fulfills my Sunnah in the End Days, Allah gives him the reward (thawāb) of a hundred martyrs.” To be a martyr is not an easy thing. The Prophet (SAW) said, “A hundred martyrs’ deeds are given.” What is the Sunnah of our Prophet (SAW)? It is what he did, whatever he did, to do that. It is the way he behaved. Not to act as other people do, but how the Prophet (SAW) did, for example, eating with the right hand, to enter mosques with the right foot, to exit mosques with the left foot first. It is all about doing what he did while eating, drinking, during a journey, etc. If we keep following the Prophet’s (SAW) Sunnah, it will turn into a habit. Allah rewards us for following and fulfilling them consistently.
Their benefits are many, too. As well as receiving spiritual benefits, you also receive benefits in this world, as your deeds and affairs go more easily, [such as] whatever you eat or drink becomes healthy for you. If you have a journey to make, it too goes easy and benefits you. This is the reward of the Prophet (SAW). Following his Sunnah is as beneficial in the material world as in the spiritual. Do not waste food—this is the order of the Prophet (SAW). Leave the table before you are full. Do not eat until you are stuffed. If there are crumbs leftover, take them. Do not leave anything on your plate. The Prophet (SAW) showed the best way in everything. Also what he (SAW) advised is Sunnah. May Allah have us fulfill these acts successfully.
Of course, the Prophet (SAW) has thousands of sunnahs. We are to do as much as we know. Doing what we know is sufficient for us, too. May Allah accept them, and make us successful in them.
May Allah ‘azza wa jalla have us follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW), Insha Allah. May we receive his intersession! Those who follow his Sunnah do receive his intersession, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
29.TO BE THANKFUL Friday, 15 February 2019
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.
It is necessary to give thanks for Allah’s provisions. Allah jalla jalālahu provided us with so much, but mankind does not know value of His provision. They will not know, until something happens to them. Then one knows the value. After losing one’s health, after being ill, then one knows its value. He knows the value of his youth, when he is old. A person knows the value of many things, after he loses them. That is why one should have gratitude. It is said that the human body has 365 components. One should give sadaqah for every part. This is called gratitude. If one cannot afford to give charity, then one should pray two rakats of salah. This also is counted as charity. In the time of the Prophet (SAW), there were periods of financial difficulty. When his companions said they could not give charity, the Prophet (SAW) said, “Just removing a stone from the road is a charity.” It is a charity—just a small good deed! If you perform two rakats of salah, that means that you have fulfilled this duty. Being thankful [both] increases [one’s] provisions, and one [thereby] performs one’s duty towards Allah. Even a little thing! Allah does not need it, but you happen in this way to remember Him out of respect. These people do not open their mouth for good. You ask them, “How are you?” and they reply, “Wa’Llahi, the situation is bad. This is this way, that is that way... ” But look at yourself! You are standing up on your feet, strong. Thank Allah you are not suffering hunger, not thirsty, [and that] you get by each day. Instead of being thankful, one complains. To complain is not a good thing. One must show gratitude. [Even] one’s whole life would not be long enough to show [sufficient] gratitude for one of Allah’s provisions. As there are thousands of them, we need to remain in a state of gratitude. This is the way to show respect, and it is a duty. By “respect” is meant “duty”. Such gratefulness is beneficial to oneself and others, insha’Allah. May it be beneficial for our land and for Islam, insha’Allah. May Allah have Muslims show gratitude. If they do so, they do good for themselves. If not, and they complain instead, it is useless. May Allah give us plentifully and bless us! May He give us peace and security! May He may protect us from Satan and these Satan-like people, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
30.THE DOOR OF KHAYR Saturday, 16 February 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The Prophet (SAW) recited a prayer: “Allahumma, lā taj‘al ad-dunyā akbara hamminā wa lā mablagha ‘ilminā.” “O Allah, let not the world be our only concern,” he said.
This is a prayer. Let us not live for this world: the life in world is just means to do good. Do not run after it! Do not have it as your target or purpose.
Have the pleasure of Allah, the pleasure of the Prophet (SAW), as your aim. If you do good, hajj, zakat, etc. as a means of goodness, it is better for you. If not, and if instead you run after this world, there is no point—the world runs away from you! If otherwise, then Allah makes the world run after you. Everything takes place as Allah wants. You may ask for this world as much as you wish, [but] as long as Allah does not want it so, there is no use in your asking. Therefore, do not do things for this world, but for Allah. When the door is opened for you, do not pass it up. It is good. It is from Allah. Leave this world and be not in need of it. When Allah ‘azza wa jalla opens a door for you, go through it. Make the most of that door: it is a provision from Allah. Do not forget Allah. Do not forget His rights. Do not forget the path of the Prophet (SAW).
Some people say; “No, we do not want anything,” [but] then they run after this world, [and] the world runs away from them. Right from the beginning, let your intention be to earn the pleasure of Allah, not this world. This is important, [but] people do not realize this. This world and the next one complete each other. When you have worldly things, you are able to help people more — just let your intention be to do so for Allah’s pleasure.
May we also be granted such opportunities. Without being in need of anyone, may the door of the pleasure of Allah be open to us, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
31.AS-SABUR Sunday, 17 February 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
There is a great reward for those who memorize and recite the 99 names of Allah. There is a great benefit and wisdom in it. Allah’s names manifest at all times. Now it is the name As-Ṣabūr (The Patient One) who is manifesting itself, [and] which divine name means “the One who is extremely patient”.
No other generation of the past was in such severe rebellion, denial of the truth, [and] committing such a degree of sins. Since the time of Adam (AS) there has been no era as bad as this one.
Had it been another era, Allah ‘azza wa jalla would have destroyed it. But As-Ṣabūr, due to [Allah’s] extreme patience [manifested in this Name] people are still safe. Without this, Allah ‘azza wa jalla would have destroyed them. As-Ṣabūr is His last name. After this is the End. After this people will give their account. This is the time of [spiritual] commerce. The more difficult it is, the more profit there is. People are in forgetfulness of Allah; they follow their ego, desires. Those who do not repent will be destroyed.
Of course, the majority of people are in this state. Those who are protected are in the minority, but they are the successful ones.
May Allah protect all of us! May we pass these bad days in safety, Insha Allah. May we be the servants whom Allah protects. These lands are the lands of Islam. May Allah help Muslim children! May He protect them from these evil ones, Insha Allah!
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
32.THE OUTWARDLY APPARENT ( ENVY IS FROM SHAYTAN) Thursday, 21 February 2019
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.

Allah ‘azza wa jalla created mankind noble. Given these attributes, it is necessary to show respect to people so that they might come to the path of Allah. When one comes to the path, [then] becomes possible for him to be perfected. Everyone has a path, a way that he approaches things, a way he speaks. Everyone has his own style, [and] accordingly they can be approached.
After seeing a turban and the jubba, some people, not just not speaking, may even run away from you. Or it might be that there are others who are dressed like themselves, [and] when these people approach them, they begin to spe
