, main thing for them – to destroy Islām. And this is karāmah from Shaykh Bahā’u d-dīn Naqshbandī Hazretleri – saying, "Who is in not ṭarīqah they is dangerous for his believe and for other also."
Allāh keep us in this nice way and we are thanking Allāh all time to be in this way. Allāh give hidāyah for other people also, Insha Allah.

91.SELLING THEIR SOULS Thursday, 16 May 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-man azlamu mimmani ftará ‘alá Llāhi kadhiban liyudilla n-nāsa bighayri ‘ilm, inna Llāha lā yahdi l-qawma z-zālimīn" (6:144). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, "Who is a worse oppressor than the person who makes people leave their way and says Allāh ordered it so?" Allāh is not with oppressors. He doesn't guide them. And He is not merciful to them because they have lost their way and make other people to lose their way too. And who are they? They are the people who try to understand religion as they like, who don't accept the old knowledge that comes from Sahābah, Awliyā’, and ‘Ulamā’, then present something instead to people as true knowledge that has no relation to it. They are the oppressors.
Because making people leave the right way is the biggest oppression because it is costs their Ākhirah. They destroy their Ākhirah. Everything they do, thinking they are doing it right, is not accepted when they follow that man. Worldly matters are useless as long as they are not intending to do things out of obedience to Allāh. But when it is for Allāh to do good things and being useful for Islām, this brings thawāb and rewards. Otherwise, when they leave the right way and go towards kufr and shirk, it is useless. Therefore, it is oppression. Allāh is not with oppressors. And Allāh doesn't give them guidance. We should be careful. It is not good to make opinions on religion according to yourself. And it's not right to give fatwá. There are special people to do this. They can give fatwa. You can speak when you are sure one hundred percent. But if you're not sure then you should say, in order not to be like the oppressor, "This is what I think. Allāh knows best, still I should ask". The matters of Ākhirah are easy from one side and not from the other. Don't burden yourself. Don't oppress yourself. Don't put yourself under responsibility. That's it.
In short, this holy verse has big benefit for us. Because when people are asked something, it is hard for them to say they don't know. "I don't know," is like ignorance for them. So they speak as if they know. And then they may carry responsibility for it. If someone acts upon what you said, and if that is wrong, you may get from its punishment. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Qur’ān, "Fa-man azlamu mimmani ftará ‘alá Llāhi kadhiban liyuḍilla n-nāsa bighayri ‘ilm, inna Llāha lā yahdi l-qawma z-zālimīn" (6:144). This big responsibility for people who are thinking they are doing good thing but making people to go out from right way, going to wrong way. This is oppression. Allāh saying the most oppressed one who do people to go from way of Allāh what He order but their idea, their thinking and they are thought they are doing good. But they are most of them they are knowing they are not doing good. But they don't have belief so they free without any fear anything. They are saying, writing books, making lectures, giving advice for people against what Prophet, what Awliyā’u Llāh, scholar they are saying since fourteen centuries. They are not afraid from Allāh and this people Allāh will not be with them. Allāh not happy with oppress oppressor people. He is not happy with them and they are no anything good thing can happen for them.
Nowadays it is most popular thing to be famous. They are doing everything and they are like to do bad thing because nice thing – people days, these days they are not giving any good, they are not happy from everybody, must see, find bad thing to be people to look and to be ask, "Who is this? Who is that?" So nowadays famous when as much you do wrong thing, as much you make thing not suitable with human nature, you, they are more famous. For everything they are doing this. And especially for religion also. They are saying, "This our idea it is like this." And this coming since fourteen centuries and people they are all doing in this way – all this people they are not understanding and you are most clever one? No you are most shayṭān one to say this.
But not one – to everywhere you find this and they become famous. Even they are selling their, as saying, selling their soul for shayṭān. And like when somebody like to make magic, black magic or something. There is, Allāh mention in Qur’ān two angels they are punished and they are in some place in North, in Iraq, but they are teaching people to do magic. But even when somebody coming to them they say to this people, "Don't do this because if you do this your belief it will be finish." But there is people they sell their belief and their Ākhirah just to make this. Nowadays most of people they can do this.
Allāh save us from them and they are also cursed people because make people to lose their real life, life of Ākhirah. Allāh save us from them, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
92.SINCERITY Friday, 17 May 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.
Sincerity is important. It is the most important thing. We are ordered to be sincere. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-mā umirū illā liya‘budu Llāha mukhliṣīna lahu d- dīn" (98:5). You should worship with sincerity and obey Allāh, for that is one of Allāh's favours for us. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, our Prophet says in ḥadīth sharīf, "That is My secret I give to My beloved servant." To have sincerity is a big favour, big virtue.
Because people become scholars, read all the books, and know everything. Also there are many people who know Qur’ān by heart. Other than Qur’ān, there are people who learn thousands of hadīth by heart. But when there is no sincerity, it is all useless. Allāh has not given the secret to that person. That's the biggest flaw. All they do consists of hypocrisy. They talk about shirk now all the time and they make the biggest shirk. Hypocrisy is hidden shirk, says our Prophet. And sincerity, in contrast, is the true belief. It is the true worship. Even if he doesn't know anything, if a man knows a few āyāt, enough to pray and is sincere in it, he is better and luckier than insincere people who know thousands and tens of thousands of ḥadīth by heart. Because Allāh gave that secret of sincerity to that man. "I know that this is our belief. I will follow this one. I will follow this way."
A person who says so sincerely profits in the end. Otherwise, when they say, "I know this. I speak this much. I give conferences to people. I teach them and do this and that," but they have no sincerity, it has no benefit for them, and it won't bring benefit to others. It can bring harm as well because they speak from their ego to the other ego. When on the contrary, they believe in the existence of Allāh ‘Azza wa–Jalla sincerely, they save both themselves and those close to them. It is a great favour. And sincerity is mostly in people who respect our Prophet, who have love for our Prophet. Because they are beloved servants of Allah and are given that love like our Prophet. Their respect to our Prophet, love, remembrance, salawāt and dhikr makes their sincerity stronger. The presence of sincerity increases with the efforts of a man. May Allāh make all of us sincere. May He not make us different outside from inside, Insha Allah. There is no need to do it nowadays, Insha Allah. Sincerity it is very important – to be sincere. And this is, Allāh praise this attribute and is saying our order, "Wa-mā umirū illā liya‘budu Llāha
mukhlisīna lahu d-dīn" (98:5). Our order to worship Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla with sincerity and accept His religion. Many people they have their belief but they don't have sincerity. Sincerity is like jewel. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla also Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying this is secret from Allāh's secret He give it to people He love them. Who have sincerity he is beloved one for Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla.
Maybe who has sincerity he not well educated or not knowing too much from knowledge or anything, maybe he poor, but if he is have sincerity ikhlāṣ it is the best thing because he is beloved one. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, "I give this sincerity for people I love them." You can see nowadays sincerity it's really very few, not much, it is small. You see thousands of, hundred thousands of people they are claiming they are scholar, they are knowing everything, whole this religious book they know, other they know, another book also. And they are knowing Qur’ān by heart and they know ḥadīth, sayings of Prophet thousands, hundred thousands they know, but they don't have sincerity – it is nothing. Only they are doing this for their ego, to show people, for show, to be saying, "This man he is very knowledgeable. He is biggest scholar." And making this to make people happy or to make themself happy. To make for people what they like to do for them.
And they are saying, "You have shirk," for people, for ordinary people. Everything they say, "shirk". But Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying who do this, who real shirk, this to make all this for their ego. They are worshipping ego, not worshipping Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are making all this knowledge, and they have knowledge of course, but the most of them also only knowledge – they are not practicing – no sunnah maybe no fard also. Most of them not praying sunnah also. Fard – Allāhu a‘lam, we don't know. But sunnah it is sure they are not doing sunnah, any sunnah. Even praying sunnah Zuhr, Fajr, ‘Asr, or other sunnah they are not doing. So this is also sign for they are not sincerity.
Sincere one who is love Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, going with his way, mentioning he looking what Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam doing. And this making sincerity more stronger and more stronger. Allāh He love people they are loving Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He give them this secret for them, for their heart to be ikhlās, mukhlisīn, Insha Allah. Allāh make us all of them from this people, pure for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, sincere for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
93.OPEN DOOR TO HAPPINESS Saturday, 18 May 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā bidhikri Llāhi taṭma’innu l-qulūb" (13:28), says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Satisfaction and peace of heart come with dhikr of Allāh, through remembering Him. We are seeing that this world passes with tests from the start till the end. Our time is the end of times. There are more hardships, more evil, more shayāṭīn. There is too much discomfort. As it is the end of times, it is normal. But even in normal times, the state of the world is never good. Peace is only through remembering Allāh and our Prophet. By loving him by doing his sunnah, and doing the goodness he showed us, we find peace.
People are always without peace, wondering what will happen to them. They have found themselves in this world and don't know what to do. However, Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla has shown them the right way and said, "Do this and find peace. Reach satisfaction and let your heart be content and peaceful." Attend these beautiful assemblies. Make salāt wa-salām to our Prophet. Read Qur’ān Karīm. Read Dalā’il al-Khayrāt and salawāt. Take example from the beautiful aḥādīth and life of our Prophet. When you do this, you will be satisfied. And most important is to be with good people, with people on the good way. And that is Tarīqah, with permission of Allāh. Who does this is more satisfied and peaceful compared to other people. The rest are like sea shells floating from one place to another, living their lives without security or guarantee, not knowing what to do. But who is on the way of Allāh, his guarantee is Allāh and our Prophet. He submits to them and reaches security.
May we all be on that way, Insha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā bidhikri Llāhi taṭma’innu l-qulūb" (13:28). To be your heart satisfied you must remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We are living in earth, dunyā. This life, of our life, it is from beginning of world, it is place for test and it is of course many thing for people it is not easy. But now we are living the end of time. The most terrible time in human being's history – it is this time. Prophets and our Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying also – Ākhir Zamān, end of time, it will be, "Takthuru l-fitan. Yakthuru l-harju wa-l-marj." Sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-
sallam. Fitnah it will be too many, too much. And to killing and to do bad thing, it will be too many also. This is we are seeing all around world. Terror and killing, war, fighting, every badness in this time, this century. And it is for normal people it is really very difficult because they don't know, they don't have any guarantee for tomorrow what will be happen. It is look like some in sea, something in sea taking waves from place to place. They are not knowing anything for tomorrow.
But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla showing us, saying, "Remember Allāh. Be with Allāh, with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You will be satisfied. You will be safe. You may be in guarantee not fear, no fear for you." For this we are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, thanking Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Even small, small we are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, thousand times, million times better than people who don't remember Allāh. They thought it is only here and they will be by their knowledge they will be happy. No. They cannot be happy at all. Happiness only to be with Allāh, to accept Him, to surround yourself for Him, and to be in salām, in peace. Aslim taslam," saying. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, when you mention his" name, you make ṣalāt salām for him, you read Qur’ān, you read Dalā’il al-Khayrāt or other awrād, or you remember him and ask madad and bless from him – this is keep you happy, Insha Allah.
Alhamdulilah we are, in dunyā also we can be in Paradise before Ākhirah also.Because we seeing with Mawlānā he was showing everybody where he is going it was like Paradise. Alhamdulilah. It is, Allāh make, keep us in this way, not take us from this nice, satisfied way, not take us to other way with all, whole world become crazy, become mad, become stressful. Everything they are taking thing to make themself happy but they become worse and worse and the door of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla open but they are not going there. Allāh give hidāyah for people and save us from bad thing, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
94.THE REWARDS OF RAMADAN Sunday, 19 May 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.
We are living in the month of Ramadān, shukr to Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives special favours for this month. It is not ten for one, but rather hundred for one, seven hundred for one. Our Prophet is saying when Ramadān comes, the doors of Paradise open, the doors of Heaven open, and it is decorated for believers. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, when you fast on the first day, He forgives all sins and this continues until the last day. And for every rak‘ah prayed during the night, He writes 700 thawāb and makes for you a house in Paradise. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives a house. It has a thousand doors. Each door is made of gold, two- winged doors made of gold.
People do not ask what is there in Paradise any more. We should give thanks to Allāh. We say, "Let us enter Paradise and have even one house there." And Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is the Munificent. He wants to reward the people of Paradise for the good deeds they have done. He makes a thousand houses. Don't say, "What will we do with so many?" Ākhirah is not like dunyā. When people have a couple of houses in dunyā, they get confused which one to live in. There are such rich people, for example, who have a house in every city of the world. And sometimes they don't come to a house for three or five years. It is not like that in Paradise. They can stay everywhere. And they will have rest in all of them. It is the time for rest in Ākhirah.
Therefore, the month of Ramadān is the month of blessings, blessings of here and Hereafter. For every fard Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives the thawāb of seventy fard. And thawāb of fard – no matter how many nafl prayers you make, you can't reach thawāb of fard. Therefore, when people leave prayers they then leave fasting even though they are farḍ, they lose big time. It is a big harm for them. If a man loses a couple of cents, he starts wailing, "I did so and so. Some cheater came and took what I had promising to give ten fold back." We hear a lot of such complaints. And these complaints are the same for Akhirah. There are many cheaters and shayātīn. They prevent you from doing your farḍ and worship. You should wail about that. No need to wail for this world. Work for your Ākhirah. As we said, seventy thawāb is given for each fard. You cannot reach this thawāb even if you make nafl prayers all your life. It is a great kindness of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
It is a holy month. Insha Allah, People cannot comprehend Paradise, neither with their minds, nor their imagination. There are such things there that you never saw or heard of. It is such an amazing place. If only people believed in true Paradise, this world would become worthless to them. Therefore, dunyā has no value for the Prophets. It cannot have. Also for the believers. Awliyā’ don't give importance to dunyā either. They give importance to Ākhirah so that people get help, and we earn thawāb through that means. It is fard to pay zakāh. If you are well off in dunyā, you give zakāh and do that farḍ too. And it has a separate seventy thawāb. That is why, paying zakāh in Ramadan is better in that you get the seventy thawāb of farḍ.
May Allāh give it to everyone and not separate us from the right way. May He not separate us from this beautiful, generous way which leads us to Allāh's kindness.
We are living in, Alhamdulilah, month of Ramaḍān, Shahru Ramadān. It is very blessed month and it is for your spiritual, your material also, barakah in this month. Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla opens doors of Jannah and door of Heaven for people to worship and to get blessed. Normally Allāh, when you do one good deed He reward you ten times, but in Ramadān it is more hundred times, five hundred times, seven hundred even. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, you pray in night, for each rak‘ah Allāh reward you one thousand, seven hundred reward. And it is reward, meaning with this reward Allāh give you house in Jannah. But Jannah house not like our house. At least they have a thousand doors and these doors from gold, all these doors from gold. And for each fard you make – obligatory, like praying, like fasting, giving zakāt – Allāh reward in this month seventy farḍ, seventy obligatory thing reward. And to get reward for farḍ it is – for nāfilah, which other, not obligatory worshipping – whole life you cannot reach one fard reward. It is very big, very big reward.
For this in this month, we must, if we try to give – of course we make, Insha Allah, praying and we are fasting and there is zakāt also. For this in, many, most of people... Zakāt can give whole year but people they are, we are from tradition, traditional to give zakāt in Ramaḍān. And this wisdom this because it is farḍ obligatory and when you do it in Ramaḍān, for each one you get seventy times reward for... Very big reward this. And people these days they are looking only for their life here, not thinking for Paradise, not thinking for anything. Also we are saying if many people saying, "If we only enter Jannah, Paradise, even one house is enough for us." And this is for you but the the most Generous One He is not accept this. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla He give you maybe hundred, maybe thousand, maybe ten thousand houses or palaces in Jannah. And you will say, "What will do with this?" You think like what in dunyā in this world. There is some rich people they have many houses in each city in this world but they cannot go there every, every time, every month, every year. Maybe some of them five year he not going some his house. But in Jannah Allāh make this to whole this you can use and it is full of things you cannot imagine. Your imagination it is not enough to think what it is in this palace,
in this house. No anything you didn't hear, you didn't see something like this.
We are, Alhamdulilah, Insha Allah, lucky because we try, with barakah of our Mashāyikh, showing us to do as much we can do from worshipping, from charity, from praying, fasting. It is, Alhamdulilah, they are not saying, "Don't do this, you pray too much. It is not acceptable. It is not writing. You are making bid'ah. You are making shirk." Alhamdulilah our Tarīqah, the Tarīqah of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, you can do because he was praying nighttime. He long praying and he was giving without thinking it will be finish. Because in this dunyā only what you can send for yourself from here. If you not send, so you will be less reward.
People they are making, they are sometimes sad or angry. Some people they are cheat them. They said to them, "I will give you this. You give me one. I can give you ten." So they many people cheated in this world. Many people coming to us, "I trust for this man and give him and now he is not here. What we will do?" You not cannot do anything. But for Ākhirah it is worst because many people cheating people – "Don't believe. No need to pray. No need to fast. Why you fasting? You are fasting and you will be ill. You don't have water. You must, your body must drink two litre water, three litre water every day. so you are fasting what are you doing?" You are... They cheating people and make people to not fast and this is real losing, not what you they take and run away from you. This is the most, worst losing you have.
Don't believe for people who are saying fast it is not healthy. No. It is Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam before one thousand four hundred years ago he tell us, "Sūmū tasihhū" – "fast you be healthy". So don't think, don't believe for anybody who saying you must, you must drink, you must... No. It is good for health and good for īmān, Insha Allah. This is for your strong will also. Who can fast he has strong will. Other who are not, cannot do this, they are like – even they are thought they are strong, they are weak. They don't have any strength, only like children because children they cannot fast. This also same.
But who has strong will, he can fast, he can be patient, and he Allāh reward him, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
95.ZAKAH CLEANS YOUR MONEY Monday, 20 May 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-aqīmū s-salāta wa-ātū z-zakāh" (2:43), says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Pray your salāh and pay zakāh. Zakāh applies when someone has money equivalent to gold and it is saved from one year to another. 2.5 percent is paid annually, that is one fortieth part. It is given every year. It is Allāh's right, poor people's right. When you keep it and don't give it away, it is kept as sin and badness.
Zakāh cleans your money, says our Prophet. It cleans and increases it. Who thinks that if they give, their money will become less, they think wrong. On the contrary, Allāh gives barakah and increases your money and goods. But if you are stingy and keep it for yourself, you will earn all kinds of punishment. You will lose peace and may have to pay a hundred or a thousand times more.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives everyone as much responsibility as they can carry. It is the same with zakāh. 2.5 percent – no country in the world has an annual tax of 2.5%. It is at least 15%, 20%, 30%. These unbeliever countries have even more than 50%. It goes up to 80%, 90%. People work and give all their savings for taxes. They say nothing about it. And for 2.5% they say it is too much. They question how they can give it. Of course, when a man has more money, instead of giving more, he becomes more greedy. He becomes stingy. If he gives 2.5 Lira from 100 Lira, he says it is easy. From 1,000 TL it makes 25 TL. From 10,000 TL it is 250 TL. It doesn't seem much. People give it. But when they have millions, they freak out over giving 20,000 or 50,000. They don't want to give. So what we see in the world, there are people with billions and trillions of dollars. If they are to pay it, it makes 2.5 million for a billion. They have to pay 2.5 million. Therefore, it seems like a lot. So they don't pay it.
Most people living in these rich Muslim countries don't pay their zakāh. Or if they pay, they just pay a small sum. Because Allāh gave such rizq, such abundance to the Muslim world that if they gave their zakāh, there wouldn't be any poor people in Muslim countries and the world. But they save it as if they can take it with them. You can't take it. You will take just your cotton shroud. Nothing else. May Allāh give us so that we give too, Insha Allah. May we all be given and give. May we not obey our ego. Zakāh is very
important. Not paying it is a big misfortune and a big misery. Because Allāh gave you. You are not scared that it will be gone. You have wealth for seven generations. And you can't give it. May Allāh not let us be like those people, Insha Allah.
And Ramadān is a sign. Paying in Ramadān makes it stable from year to year, and as we said, for every fard done in Ramadān you receive thawāb of 70 fard. When you pay one zakāh, it is as if you pay 70 zakāh. This thawāb is the thawāb of farḍ. May Allāh bless it, Insha Allah, and give to the giving. And it is the du‘ā’ of our Prophet: "May Allāh give more to those who give and may Allāh do as He likes to those who don't."
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-aqīmū s-salāta wa-ātū z-zakāh" (2:43). Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla order – first to pray five times. After this to give zakāh – meaning from in one year if you have around hundred or eighty or ninety grams of gold or what it is from money comparing with this, it is you must give for two and a half percent. For each hundred you must be 2.5 for currency. It is really very small, not much. Everybody who has this kind of money he can offer and he can give this. And it is not yours this. When it's in one year, after one year, if you are, it is in your account, your place, you must take this zakāh from him because this is for Allāh and Allāh give this for poor people. So it is not... If you give this, don't think your money it will become less. No. It is barakah renewing money, cleaning money. Now they said cleaning money. This is money, all money dirty. But when you do this you clean your money. Not what they 'black money' or I don't know what they say.
Cleaning money, cleaning money for every money is dirty. With zakāh it become clean. And be become clean and increase also. Coming more also. Don't think it will be coming less. No with this, Insha Allah, will you have more barakah.
If you don't give that, it is you are unlucky. Don't think you are winner when you will be win this money you didn't give. No. It will be maybe you pay ten times, maybe hundred times, maybe thousand times more for something will, can happen for you if you think like this. And it is for people who don't have so much money, not so difficult. We have maybe ten thousand, we give two hundred fifty. So it is not so difficult for these people. But become difficult more when you have more money.
Rich people it become more difficult for them. For one million you must pay twenty five thousand. Who is, for rich man it is too much. He can give for his bad desire maybe twice or ten times more than this but for when coming for charity, for order of Allāh, shayṭān and his ego prevent him. "Don't give this. Too much. Why you will give? One million it will be twenty five thousand. If ten million you must be give two hundred fifty thousand. Ooh this is what? No. Too much this. We cannot do this." For this you see in Islamic world they are maybe more, most richest place in world, Islamic world, but they not giving zakāh. If they give zakāh, it will be not, no any poor people, in need people, and
it will be for them also good. But now they are not giving. All this they will be responsible for this because there is people forcing people or hungry people to change from their religion – "If you become, you leave your religion, we will give you this. If no, you will be die from hunger." This is what they are doing and there is proof for this. For this people, they have money they give this...
Because this poor people also, from hunger they don't know what they are doing. They accept. So for responsibility of this, what happen for this people, for this, rich people in Islamic world they not giving their charity. Allāh... Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying Allāh give more for who are they are giving more and Allāh curse this people who are not giving, saying Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. So Allāh give us, Insha Allah, to be sincere. And the best, as we said, in Ramaḍān. Even in Ramaḍān, [if] you couldn't find people to give, you can make from your zakāh in Ramaḍān – calculate your zakāh and put aside. "This" you said "this for zakāh." Allāh accept this and reward you for seventy farḍ reward. After you can give slowly, slowly. This is you cannot use for yourself, only for zakāh, Insha Allah. Allāh help us because it is very important. And after Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, most Arab – this what I was said like for – for zakāh they was turning back from Islām.
They said for Sayyidunā Abū Bakr as-Siddīq, "Okay we accept everything but zakāh, we don't want to give." He said, "I will fight you for zakāh for only even for one penny. I will, if you give less I will fight you."
It is very important zakāh. So, Insha Allah, Allāh help us, Insha Allah. Allāh give us to give, Insha Allah.

96.MORE REWARD FOR DIFFICULTY Tuesday, 21 May 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, "Al-ajru alá qadari n-nasab." The more difficult the situation is, the more reward is given for it. Now everyone wants things to be easy. People are looking for easy ways and want easy things. They have invented tools to make things easy. They press on a button without moving and it is done. They have most things done. That is why in worship, most people say, "It is hard for me to pray. I find it difficult to pray." Our Prophet is saying for this – the more difficult it is for you, the more thawāb (reward) you receive. You can't press on a button and have it prayed for y

, main thing for them – to destroy Islām. And this is karāmah from Shaykh Bahā’u d-dīn Naqshbandī Hazretleri – saying, "Who is in not ṭarīqah they is dangerous for his believe and for other also."
Allāh keep us in this nice way and we are thanking Allāh all time to be in this way. Allāh give hidāyah for other people also, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
91.SELLING THEIR SOULS Thursday, 16 May 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-man azlamu mimmani ftará ‘alá Llāhi kadhiban liyudilla n-nāsa bighayri ‘ilm, inna Llāha lā yahdi l-qawma z-zālimīn" (6:144). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, "Who is a worse oppressor than the person who makes people leave their way and says Allāh ordered it so?" Allāh is not with oppressors. He doesn't guide them. And He is not merciful to them because they have lost their way and make other people to lose their way too. And who are they? They are the people who try to understand religion as they like, who don't accept the old knowledge that comes from Sahābah, Awliyā’, and ‘Ulamā’, then present something instead to people as true knowledge that has no relation to it. They are the oppressors.
Because making people leave the right way is the biggest oppression because it is costs their Ākhirah. They destroy their Ākhirah. Everything they do, thinking they are doing it right, is not accepted when they follow that man. Worldly matters are useless as long as they are not intending to do things out of obedience to Allāh. But when it is for Allāh to do good things and being useful for Islām, this brings thawāb and rewards. Otherwise, when they leave the right way and go towards kufr and shirk, it is useless. Therefore, it is oppression. Allāh is not with oppressors. And Allāh doesn't give them guidance. We should be careful. It is not good to make opinions on religion according to yourself. And it's not right to give fatwá. There are special people to do this. They can give fatwa. You can speak when you are sure one hundred percent. But if you're not sure then you should say, in order not to be like the oppressor, "This is what I think. Allāh knows best, still I should ask". The matters of Ākhirah are easy from one side and not from the other. Don't burden yourself. Don't oppress yourself. Don't put yourself under responsibility. That's it.
In short, this holy verse has big benefit for us. Because when people are asked something, it is hard for them to say they don't know. "I don't know," is like ignorance for them. So they speak as if they know. And then they may carry responsibility for it. If someone acts upon what you said, and if that is wrong, you may get from its punishment. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Qur’ān, "Fa-man azlamu mimmani ftará ‘alá Llāhi kadhiban liyuḍilla n-nāsa bighayri ‘ilm, inna Llāha lā yahdi l-qawma z-zālimīn" (6:144). This big responsibility for people who are thinking they are doing good thing but making people to go out from right way, going to wrong way. This is oppression. Allāh saying the most oppressed one who do people to go from way of Allāh what He order but their idea, their thinking and they are thought they are doing good. But they are most of them they are knowing they are not doing good. But they don't have belief so they free without any fear anything. They are saying, writing books, making lectures, giving advice for people against what Prophet, what Awliyā’u Llāh, scholar they are saying since fourteen centuries. They are not afraid from Allāh and this people Allāh will not be with them. Allāh not happy with oppress oppressor people. He is not happy with them and they are no anything good thing can happen for them.
Nowadays it is most popular thing to be famous. They are doing everything and they are like to do bad thing because nice thing – people days, these days they are not giving any good, they are not happy from everybody, must see, find bad thing to be people to look and to be ask, "Who is this? Who is that?" So nowadays famous when as much you do wrong thing, as much you make thing not suitable with human nature, you, they are more famous. For everything they are doing this. And especially for religion also. They are saying, "This our idea it is like this." And this coming since fourteen centuries and people they are all doing in this way – all this people they are not understanding and you are most clever one? No you are most shayṭān one to say this.
But not one – to everywhere you find this and they become famous. Even they are selling their, as saying, selling their soul for shayṭān. And like when somebody like to make magic, black magic or something. There is, Allāh mention in Qur’ān two angels they are punished and they are in some place in North, in Iraq, but they are teaching people to do magic. But even when somebody coming to them they say to this people, "Don't do this because if you do this your belief it will be finish." But there is people they sell their belief and their Ākhirah just to make this. Nowadays most of people they can do this.
Allāh save us from them and they are also cursed people because make people to lose their real life, life of Ākhirah. Allāh save us from them, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
92.SINCERITY Friday, 17 May 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.
Sincerity is important. It is the most important thing. We are ordered to be sincere. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-mā umirū illā liya‘budu Llāha mukhliṣīna lahu d- dīn" (98:5). You should worship with sincerity and obey Allāh, for that is one of Allāh's favours for us. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, our Prophet says in ḥadīth sharīf, "That is My secret I give to My beloved servant." To have sincerity is a big favour, big virtue.
Because people become scholars, read all the books, and know everything. Also there are many people who know Qur’ān by heart. Other than Qur’ān, there are people who learn thousands of hadīth by heart. But when there is no sincerity, it is all useless. Allāh has not given the secret to that person. That's the biggest flaw. All they do consists of hypocrisy. They talk about shirk now all the time and they make the biggest shirk. Hypocrisy is hidden shirk, says our Prophet. And sincerity, in contrast, is the true belief. It is the true worship. Even if he doesn't know anything, if a man knows a few āyāt, enough to pray and is sincere in it, he is better and luckier than insincere people who know thousands and tens of thousands of ḥadīth by heart. Because Allāh gave that secret of sincerity to that man. "I know that this is our belief. I will follow this one. I will follow this way."
A person who says so sincerely profits in the end. Otherwise, when they say, "I know this. I speak this much. I give conferences to people. I teach them and do this and that," but they have no sincerity, it has no benefit for them, and it won't bring benefit to others. It can bring harm as well because they speak from their ego to the other ego. When on the contrary, they believe in the existence of Allāh ‘Azza wa–Jalla sincerely, they save both themselves and those close to them. It is a great favour. And sincerity is mostly in people who respect our Prophet, who have love for our Prophet. Because they are beloved servants of Allah and are given that love like our Prophet. Their respect to our Prophet, love, remembrance, salawāt and dhikr makes their sincerity stronger. The presence of sincerity increases with the efforts of a man. May Allāh make all of us sincere. May He not make us different outside from inside, Insha Allah. There is no need to do it nowadays, Insha Allah. Sincerity it is very important – to be sincere. And this is, Allāh praise this attribute and is saying our order, "Wa-mā umirū illā liya‘budu Llāha
mukhlisīna lahu d-dīn" (98:5). Our order to worship Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla with sincerity and accept His religion. Many people they have their belief but they don't have sincerity. Sincerity is like jewel. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla also Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying this is secret from Allāh's secret He give it to people He love them. Who have sincerity he is beloved one for Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla.
Maybe who has sincerity he not well educated or not knowing too much from knowledge or anything, maybe he poor, but if he is have sincerity ikhlāṣ it is the best thing because he is beloved one. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, "I give this sincerity for people I love them." You can see nowadays sincerity it's really very few, not much, it is small. You see thousands of, hundred thousands of people they are claiming they are scholar, they are knowing everything, whole this religious book they know, other they know, another book also. And they are knowing Qur’ān by heart and they know ḥadīth, sayings of Prophet thousands, hundred thousands they know, but they don't have sincerity – it is nothing. Only they are doing this for their ego, to show people, for show, to be saying, "This man he is very knowledgeable. He is biggest scholar." And making this to make people happy or to make themself happy. To make for people what they like to do for them.
And they are saying, "You have shirk," for people, for ordinary people. Everything they say, "shirk". But Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying who do this, who real shirk, this to make all this for their ego. They are worshipping ego, not worshipping Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are making all this knowledge, and they have knowledge of course, but the most of them also only knowledge – they are not practicing – no sunnah maybe no fard also. Most of them not praying sunnah also. Fard – Allāhu a‘lam, we don't know. But sunnah it is sure they are not doing sunnah, any sunnah. Even praying sunnah Zuhr, Fajr, ‘Asr, or other sunnah they are not doing. So this is also sign for they are not sincerity.
Sincere one who is love Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, going with his way, mentioning he looking what Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam doing. And this making sincerity more stronger and more stronger. Allāh He love people they are loving Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He give them this secret for them, for their heart to be ikhlās, mukhlisīn, Insha Allah. Allāh make us all of them from this people, pure for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, sincere for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
93.OPEN DOOR TO HAPPINESS Saturday, 18 May 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā bidhikri Llāhi taṭma’innu l-qulūb" (13:28), says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Satisfaction and peace of heart come with dhikr of Allāh, through remembering Him. We are seeing that this world passes with tests from the start till the end. Our time is the end of times. There are more hardships, more evil, more shayāṭīn. There is too much discomfort. As it is the end of times, it is normal. But even in normal times, the state of the world is never good. Peace is only through remembering Allāh and our Prophet. By loving him by doing his sunnah, and doing the goodness he showed us, we find peace.
People are always without peace, wondering what will happen to them. They have found themselves in this world and don't know what to do. However, Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla has shown them the right way and said, "Do this and find peace. Reach satisfaction and let your heart be content and peaceful." Attend these beautiful assemblies. Make salāt wa-salām to our Prophet. Read Qur’ān Karīm. Read Dalā’il al-Khayrāt and salawāt. Take example from the beautiful aḥādīth and life of our Prophet. When you do this, you will be satisfied. And most important is to be with good people, with people on the good way. And that is Tarīqah, with permission of Allāh. Who does this is more satisfied and peaceful compared to other people. The rest are like sea shells floating from one place to another, living their lives without security or guarantee, not knowing what to do. But who is on the way of Allāh, his guarantee is Allāh and our Prophet. He submits to them and reaches security.
May we all be on that way, Insha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alā bidhikri Llāhi taṭma’innu l-qulūb" (13:28). To be your heart satisfied you must remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We are living in earth, dunyā. This life, of our life, it is from beginning of world, it is place for test and it is of course many thing for people it is not easy. But now we are living the end of time. The most terrible time in human being's history – it is this time. Prophets and our Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying also – Ākhir Zamān, end of time, it will be, "Takthuru l-fitan. Yakthuru l-harju wa-l-marj." Sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-
sallam. Fitnah it will be too many, too much. And to killing and to do bad thing, it will be too many also. This is we are seeing all around world. Terror and killing, war, fighting, every badness in this time, this century. And it is for normal people it is really very difficult because they don't know, they don't have any guarantee for tomorrow what will be happen. It is look like some in sea, something in sea taking waves from place to place. They are not knowing anything for tomorrow.
But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla showing us, saying, "Remember Allāh. Be with Allāh, with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You will be satisfied. You will be safe. You may be in guarantee not fear, no fear for you." For this we are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, thanking Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Even small, small we are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, thousand times, million times better than people who don't remember Allāh. They thought it is only here and they will be by their knowledge they will be happy. No. They cannot be happy at all. Happiness only to be with Allāh, to accept Him, to surround yourself for Him, and to be in salām, in peace. Aslim taslam," saying. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, when you mention his" name, you make ṣalāt salām for him, you read Qur’ān, you read Dalā’il al-Khayrāt or other awrād, or you remember him and ask madad and bless from him – this is keep you happy, Insha Allah.
Alhamdulilah we are, in dunyā also we can be in Paradise before Ākhirah also.Because we seeing with Mawlānā he was showing everybody where he is going it was like Paradise. Alhamdulilah. It is, Allāh make, keep us in this way, not take us from this nice, satisfied way, not take us to other way with all, whole world become crazy, become mad, become stressful. Everything they are taking thing to make themself happy but they become worse and worse and the door of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla open but they are not going there. Allāh give hidāyah for people and save us from bad thing, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
94.THE REWARDS OF RAMADAN Sunday, 19 May 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.
We are living in the month of Ramadān, shukr to Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives special favours for this month. It is not ten for one, but rather hundred for one, seven hundred for one. Our Prophet is saying when Ramadān comes, the doors of Paradise open, the doors of Heaven open, and it is decorated for believers. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, when you fast on the first day, He forgives all sins and this continues until the last day. And for every rak‘ah prayed during the night, He writes 700 thawāb and makes for you a house in Paradise. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives a house. It has a thousand doors. Each door is made of gold, two- winged doors made of gold.
People do not ask what is there in Paradise any more. We should give thanks to Allāh. We say, "Let us enter Paradise and have even one house there." And Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is the Munificent. He wants to reward the people of Paradise for the good deeds they have done. He makes a thousand houses. Don't say, "What will we do with so many?" Ākhirah is not like dunyā. When people have a couple of houses in dunyā, they get confused which one to live in. There are such rich people, for example, who have a house in every city of the world. And sometimes they don't come to a house for three or five years. It is not like that in Paradise. They can stay everywhere. And they will have rest in all of them. It is the time for rest in Ākhirah.
Therefore, the month of Ramadān is the month of blessings, blessings of here and Hereafter. For every fard Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives the thawāb of seventy fard. And thawāb of fard – no matter how many nafl prayers you make, you can't reach thawāb of fard. Therefore, when people leave prayers they then leave fasting even though they are farḍ, they lose big time. It is a big harm for them. If a man loses a couple of cents, he starts wailing, "I did so and so. Some cheater came and took what I had promising to give ten fold back." We hear a lot of such complaints. And these complaints are the same for Akhirah. There are many cheaters and shayātīn. They prevent you from doing your farḍ and worship. You should wail about that. No need to wail for this world. Work for your Ākhirah. As we said, seventy thawāb is given for each fard. You cannot reach this thawāb even if you make nafl prayers all your life. It is a great kindness of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
It is a holy month. Insha Allah, People cannot comprehend Paradise, neither with their minds, nor their imagination. There are such things there that you never saw or heard of. It is such an amazing place. If only people believed in true Paradise, this world would become worthless to them. Therefore, dunyā has no value for the Prophets. It cannot have. Also for the believers. Awliyā’ don't give importance to dunyā either. They give importance to Ākhirah so that people get help, and we earn thawāb through that means. It is fard to pay zakāh. If you are well off in dunyā, you give zakāh and do that farḍ too. And it has a separate seventy thawāb. That is why, paying zakāh in Ramadan is better in that you get the seventy thawāb of farḍ.
May Allāh give it to everyone and not separate us from the right way. May He not separate us from this beautiful, generous way which leads us to Allāh's kindness.
We are living in, Alhamdulilah, month of Ramaḍān, Shahru Ramadān. It is very blessed month and it is for your spiritual, your material also, barakah in this month. Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla opens doors of Jannah and door of Heaven for people to worship and to get blessed. Normally Allāh, when you do one good deed He reward you ten times, but in Ramadān it is more hundred times, five hundred times, seven hundred even. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, you pray in night, for each rak‘ah Allāh reward you one thousand, seven hundred reward. And it is reward, meaning with this reward Allāh give you house in Jannah. But Jannah house not like our house. At least they have a thousand doors and these doors from gold, all these doors from gold. And for each fard you make – obligatory, like praying, like fasting, giving zakāt – Allāh reward in this month seventy farḍ, seventy obligatory thing reward. And to get reward for farḍ it is – for nāfilah, which other, not obligatory worshipping – whole life you cannot reach one fard reward. It is very big, very big reward.
For this in this month, we must, if we try to give – of course we make, Insha Allah, praying and we are fasting and there is zakāt also. For this in, many, most of people... Zakāt can give whole year but people they are, we are from tradition, traditional to give zakāt in Ramaḍān. And this wisdom this because it is farḍ obligatory and when you do it in Ramaḍān, for each one you get seventy times reward for... Very big reward this. And people these days they are looking only for their life here, not thinking for Paradise, not thinking for anything. Also we are saying if many people saying, "If we only enter Jannah, Paradise, even one house is enough for us." And this is for you but the the most Generous One He is not accept this. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla He give you maybe hundred, maybe thousand, maybe ten thousand houses or palaces in Jannah. And you will say, "What will do with this?" You think like what in dunyā in this world. There is some rich people they have many houses in each city in this world but they cannot go there every, every time, every month, every year. Maybe some of them five year he not going some his house. But in Jannah Allāh make this to whole this you can use and it is full of things you cannot imagine. Your imagination it is not enough to think what it is in this palace,
in this house. No anything you didn't hear, you didn't see something like this.
We are, Alhamdulilah, Insha Allah, lucky because we try, with barakah of our Mashāyikh, showing us to do as much we can do from worshipping, from charity, from praying, fasting. It is, Alhamdulilah, they are not saying, "Don't do this, you pray too much. It is not acceptable. It is not writing. You are making bid'ah. You are making shirk." Alhamdulilah our Tarīqah, the Tarīqah of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, you can do because he was praying nighttime. He long praying and he was giving without thinking it will be finish. Because in this dunyā only what you can send for yourself from here. If you not send, so you will be less reward.
People they are making, they are sometimes sad or angry. Some people they are cheat them. They said to them, "I will give you this. You give me one. I can give you ten." So they many people cheated in this world. Many people coming to us, "I trust for this man and give him and now he is not here. What we will do?" You not cannot do anything. But for Ākhirah it is worst because many people cheating people – "Don't believe. No need to pray. No need to fast. Why you fasting? You are fasting and you will be ill. You don't have water. You must, your body must drink two litre water, three litre water every day. so you are fasting what are you doing?" You are... They cheating people and make people to not fast and this is real losing, not what you they take and run away from you. This is the most, worst losing you have.
Don't believe for people who are saying fast it is not healthy. No. It is Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam before one thousand four hundred years ago he tell us, "Sūmū tasihhū" – "fast you be healthy". So don't think, don't believe for anybody who saying you must, you must drink, you must... No. It is good for health and good for īmān, Insha Allah. This is for your strong will also. Who can fast he has strong will. Other who are not, cannot do this, they are like – even they are thought they are strong, they are weak. They don't have any strength, only like children because children they cannot fast. This also same.
But who has strong will, he can fast, he can be patient, and he Allāh reward him, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
95.ZAKAH CLEANS YOUR MONEY Monday, 20 May 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.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-aqīmū s-salāta wa-ātū z-zakāh" (2:43), says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Pray your salāh and pay zakāh. Zakāh applies when someone has money equivalent to gold and it is saved from one year to another. 2.5 percent is paid annually, that is one fortieth part. It is given every year. It is Allāh's right, poor people's right. When you keep it and don't give it away, it is kept as sin and badness.
Zakāh cleans your money, says our Prophet. It cleans and increases it. Who thinks that if they give, their money will become less, they think wrong. On the contrary, Allāh gives barakah and increases your money and goods. But if you are stingy and keep it for yourself, you will earn all kinds of punishment. You will lose peace and may have to pay a hundred or a thousand times more.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives everyone as much responsibility as they can carry. It is the same with zakāh. 2.5 percent – no country in the world has an annual tax of 2.5%. It is at least 15%, 20%, 30%. These unbeliever countries have even more than 50%. It goes up to 80%, 90%. People work and give all their savings for taxes. They say nothing about it. And for 2.5% they say it is too much. They question how they can give it. Of course, when a man has more money, instead of giving more, he becomes more greedy. He becomes stingy. If he gives 2.5 Lira from 100 Lira, he says it is easy. From 1,000 TL it makes 25 TL. From 10,000 TL it is 250 TL. It doesn't seem much. People give it. But when they have millions, they freak out over giving 20,000 or 50,000. They don't want to give. So what we see in the world, there are people with billions and trillions of dollars. If they are to pay it, it makes 2.5 million for a billion. They have to pay 2.5 million. Therefore, it seems like a lot. So they don't pay it.
Most people living in these rich Muslim countries don't pay their zakāh. Or if they pay, they just pay a small sum. Because Allāh gave such rizq, such abundance to the Muslim world that if they gave their zakāh, there wouldn't be any poor people in Muslim countries and the world. But they save it as if they can take it with them. You can't take it. You will take just your cotton shroud. Nothing else. May Allāh give us so that we give too, Insha Allah. May we all be given and give. May we not obey our ego. Zakāh is very
important. Not paying it is a big misfortune and a big misery. Because Allāh gave you. You are not scared that it will be gone. You have wealth for seven generations. And you can't give it. May Allāh not let us be like those people, Insha Allah.
And Ramadān is a sign. Paying in Ramadān makes it stable from year to year, and as we said, for every fard done in Ramadān you receive thawāb of 70 fard. When you pay one zakāh, it is as if you pay 70 zakāh. This thawāb is the thawāb of farḍ. May Allāh bless it, Insha Allah, and give to the giving. And it is the du‘ā’ of our Prophet: "May Allāh give more to those who give and may Allāh do as He likes to those who don't."
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-aqīmū s-salāta wa-ātū z-zakāh" (2:43). Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla order – first to pray five times. After this to give zakāh – meaning from in one year if you have around hundred or eighty or ninety grams of gold or what it is from money comparing with this, it is you must give for two and a half percent. For each hundred you must be 2.5 for currency. It is really very small, not much. Everybody who has this kind of money he can offer and he can give this. And it is not yours this. When it's in one year, after one year, if you are, it is in your account, your place, you must take this zakāh from him because this is for Allāh and Allāh give this for poor people. So it is not... If you give this, don't think your money it will become less. No. It is barakah renewing money, cleaning money. Now they said cleaning money. This is money, all money dirty. But when you do this you clean your money. Not what they 'black money' or I don't know what they say.
Cleaning money, cleaning money for every money is dirty. With zakāh it become clean. And be become clean and increase also. Coming more also. Don't think it will be coming less. No with this, Insha Allah, will you have more barakah.
If you don't give that, it is you are unlucky. Don't think you are winner when you will be win this money you didn't give. No. It will be maybe you pay ten times, maybe hundred times, maybe thousand times more for something will, can happen for you if you think like this. And it is for people who don't have so much money, not so difficult. We have maybe ten thousand, we give two hundred fifty. So it is not so difficult for these people. But become difficult more when you have more money.
Rich people it become more difficult for them. For one million you must pay twenty five thousand. Who is, for rich man it is too much. He can give for his bad desire maybe twice or ten times more than this but for when coming for charity, for order of Allāh, shayṭān and his ego prevent him. "Don't give this. Too much. Why you will give? One million it will be twenty five thousand. If ten million you must be give two hundred fifty thousand. Ooh this is what? No. Too much this. We cannot do this." For this you see in Islamic world they are maybe more, most richest place in world, Islamic world, but they not giving zakāh. If they give zakāh, it will be not, no any poor people, in need people, and
it will be for them also good. But now they are not giving. All this they will be responsible for this because there is people forcing people or hungry people to change from their religion – "If you become, you leave your religion, we will give you this. If no, you will be die from hunger." This is what they are doing and there is proof for this. For this people, they have money they give this...
Because this poor people also, from hunger they don't know what they are doing. They accept. So for responsibility of this, what happen for this people, for this, rich people in Islamic world they not giving their charity. Allāh... Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying Allāh give more for who are they are giving more and Allāh curse this people who are not giving, saying Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. So Allāh give us, Insha Allah, to be sincere. And the best, as we said, in Ramaḍān. Even in Ramaḍān, [if] you couldn't find people to give, you can make from your zakāh in Ramaḍān – calculate your zakāh and put aside. "This" you said "this for zakāh." Allāh accept this and reward you for seventy farḍ reward. After you can give slowly, slowly. This is you cannot use for yourself, only for zakāh, Insha Allah. Allāh help us because it is very important. And after Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, most Arab – this what I was said like for – for zakāh they was turning back from Islām.
They said for Sayyidunā Abū Bakr as-Siddīq, "Okay we accept everything but zakāh, we don't want to give." He said, "I will fight you for zakāh for only even for one penny. I will, if you give less I will fight you."
It is very important zakāh. So, Insha Allah, Allāh help us, Insha Allah. Allāh give us to give, Insha Allah.

Our Prophet is saying, "Al-ajru alá qadari n-nasab." The more difficult the situation is, the more reward is given for it. Now everyone wants things to be easy. People are looking for easy ways and want easy things. They have invented tools to make things easy. They press on a button without moving and it is done. They have most things done. That is why in worship, most people say, "It is hard for me to pray. I find it difficult to pray." Our Prophet is saying for this – the more difficult it is for you, the more thawāb (reward) you receive. You can't press on a button and have it prayed for y
