Suhbah 2019: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (14/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5539
pride as an atom, you will certainly go to hell. Pride means shirk to Allāh. “Pride belongs to Me," says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Therefore, pride is the most disliked" character. Who has it certainly loses. May Allāh protect us. May Allāh make us from the modest people, Insha Allah. May all of us have no pride.The summary of that āyah is that pride is equal to loss and sorrow for people; that sadness comes because of pride. May Allāh protect us.
There is āyah, āyah cannot remember exactly but, Lā jarama annahum fi l-ākhirati humu l- akhsarūn (11:22). Aw... what meaning? Who are not believing in next day, Ākhirah, they are proud people. The proud people they are the most loser – akhsarūn. Akhsar,
khasara, meaning losing, loser, the extremely loser because they are not believing any life after this life and they are acting for this – no fear from nobody will ask what you done, what you, how you live, what you done, what you earn, what you eat, what you drink. They thought it is free. Even in dunyā they are not free. Especially country like the most modern country, most they are becoming more not free. Everything they asking for penny, they asking what you done for this, for what you bring this, from what...? So you are, for this you are here you are not free. For Ākhirah how can be?
For this they are doing every badness, every badness for people, for themself. Not accepting order of Allāh, coming against of His order. And after, when they say something, they are saying nothing like this. "We are clever and clever people not believing for this. This who they don't have mind they are they believe for such a thing." But they are real foolish, real idiot, who not believe for Ākhirah, for being of Allāh. Because everything in this exist showing there is Creator. And they are doing statue, they are doing machine, they are doing everything but they [these things] don't have soul. For this, the soul, Allāh give for everyone in this world – from human being, for other also they have something like this. Because when this finish, it go, you cannot bring it back. And this is enough proof for to be aware from Ākhirah, to accept existence of Allāh. And He can, He bring you from nothing, from... and now you will go. You will be something before. Before this life you are nothing at all but here, now, we are something and when you go to Ākhirah you will be come again from thing. So more easy, if they are thinking, to come again for life, from [rather than] coming from nothing. But they are idiot. They are not thinking. Only thinking following their ego for their desire only. This is what they are worshipping. Not worshipping Allāh, worshipping shayṭān and their desire and their ego. And for this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying they are the loser. And most important thing here for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla – to not be proud. Proud people, they are every time that not happy with people. They are thinking they are higher than people and people must be under them. And this is what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla not accept – pride. Pride for Allāh only. "It is for Me." He said. For this, when any pride in your heart, Allāh not happy. Even they must go to hell first to finish this. This is partner accepting Allāh when something saying "I am like this. I am that." – pride. So it is wisdom here to not be proud. Allāh keep us from this bad desire. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create all of us same. No any thing to be proud for other people. Even with your, if your religion you doing five time praying, you fasting, doing this – don't be proud. Also this from Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. He give this for you. You must be thankful for Him and saying, "This all from You, not from us. We are not proud. You help us to do this." Allāh help us all time, Insha Allah.

101.ALLAH’S PROGRAM Sunday, 26 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 when Allāh wills something to happen, even if a person says he is clever, he will lose his mind and that thing will take place. And then his sanity will return and he will wail about what he did. This means that when Allāh wants something, it will happen. And a person with a mind can’t make that mistake or do that thing which needs to be done. Certainly he will lose his mind first, and then wail in regret. This can happen to everyone in this world. Sometimes big mistakes are made, sometimes small ones and even those bother people.
Mankind thinks this world is going to be their place forever. However, there is not long to live. There are people who claim they rule over the world. They believe it is as they like and according to their order. But when the Will of Allāh is going to appear, they will be surprised too. They won't know what to do, and it will be as Allāh says. This world is not eternal. It is only until some time. Then it will change, then change again. It is the End of Times and then Qiyāmah will happen. Certainly for everything to happen, there must be some sign or action. And that is the regret of people for not knowing what to do after realizing the Order of Allāh. But everything is over then. There is no return from that. Therefore, we are living in the End of Times, and its signs are slowly showing up. Therefore, no need to get upset for dunyā. Be with Allāh, and Allāh will protect you both here and Hereafter.
May Allāh not let us lose the way. May Allāh help us use our minds, Insha Allah.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, when Allāh want something to happen, He take the thinking, good thinking, mind from people. After they done something wrong or who has mind, he has, he is clever, cannot do this. After this they say, "What we done?" with, they are regret. They are cannot... They are blaming themself – "How
we done this? We are people, clever people, we are thinking for everything but what we done it is wrong." This is what Allāh, He want for whole human being like this. For sometimes even they make small mistake also. You, when you see it, it is funny, cannot anybody do it. "But why I done this?" he said. This is from Allāh. So this, for small one, for bigger one, for more powerful one, for every one Allāh can make this to make His Will with the program to be done.
Because now people in this world they are saying, "We are make law, we make our program. We are controlling whole this world. Nothing can do. We make plan before hundred year and this coming like this. We are not thinking to about anything, no mercy, nothing. Our plan must go like this because when our program like this world it will be good for us." So they are continuing this. But Allāh for this people also, He can take their mind and doing wrong thing. After, they cannot continue what they are doing and they are blaming themself – "How we done this mistake?" But it is normal because nothing be forever in this world and there is now time, End of Time, who thinking theirself they are powerful, they are good, they are can controlling whole world – they are forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He has [His] program and it's [a] program slowly slowly going to Judgement Day which it must be something happen. And at the end, all people they will be – who some of them happy, some of them not happy. They are some of them regret but time, that time they cannot do anything.
So Allāh save us from bad people and keep our mind to not be do wrong thing; to be in this right way, Insha Allah, not going out this way. As much we are asking help from Allāh ,can do anything. But when you are asking, praying for this done, He because He He is Merciful. He will be, Insha Allah, keep us in this way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
102.DON’T WASTE YOUR PROVISION Monday, 27 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Kulū wa-shrabū wa-lā tusrifū" (7:31). says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Eat and drink but don't waste. Wasting is a quality disliked by Allāh. Wasteful people will certainly finish badly in dunyā and in Akhirah. People nowadays... This is not Allāh's order but the order of shayṭān: "You should waste in order to succeed." We look at some place, when they don't waste, people say the economy stops or slows down. They say such and such spending is required for the economy to grow and work. It is wasteful but what can you do? It is their time now. This must happen. Nevertheless, Muslims should watch their consumption.
Food is very important. You should show respect for food. When you eat at home, you may not like old bread. If you don't, then make less. Don't make a lot and throw it away. Throwing food is not being grateful but rejecting it. It is not shukr to Allāh but kufr to Allāh. Allāh gave so much food and you throw it into the garbage and ask for fresh bread. If it is old, you throw it away. It is a big misbehavior. People carry the punishment for this in this world already. Who doesn't value food; if food is mistreated, you won't find it afterwards. You will look for it but won't get. It is so widespread, what can we do? Don't buy too much. If you bought too much, don't throw it away. If you couldn't finish it, put it aside. Pets can eat it or you can give it to people who have animals. If you gave away enough, you can give to stray animals too. But when you throw in the garbage that is different.
Allāh forbid, if you lose the provision once, it is hard to get it back. This is a matter of experience. We see it a lot. There are many people who went bankrupt. They struggle to do something, but nothing works out. You should stay away from such people. No benefit comes from them. Because there are some situations which happen as punishment. When punishment comes, you want to help them but you may get from that punishment too. Because they are being punished, even if those who help them are not punished, their actions will be wasted. That is why, you should use your provisions properly. Distribute it for charity. If you want to show your generosity by doing useless ḥarām things, that is not generosity, that is squandering. You will get punished for that. That is why, may Allāh protect us, daily bread is valuable. Before a morsel reaches your
mouth, so many angels have brought its barakah from heaven. Those angels work in order to put the barakah of soil into every growing seed. It doesn't happen without cause. Don't think you plant and it’s done now. If those angels don't work, nothing happens. That is why, in respect and gratitude to Allāh, you must take care of the food He gives. You should clean your plate without leaving anything on it. That is the sunnah of our Prophet. We went to an Islamic conference. We ate and cleaned our plate. The others left food on their plates. Why? Because they think if you don't leave food, it is a shame – as if you were greedy and couldn't stop. Some food must be left. Just look, it was a Muslim meeting and, as we said, even there shayṭān's words ruled. Our Prophet says not to leave anything on the plate. Mawlānā used to say – take as much as you can eat and don't be impudent. Do not leave anything on your plate. Eat, take. Not enough? Take more. But when you don't finish what is on your plate and throw it away – that is not good.
May Allāh keep us from being wasteful. May Allāh make our food lasting, Insha Allah. May our hidden and apparent food last, Insha Allah. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, "Kulū wa-shrabū wa-lā tusrifū" (7:31). Eat and drink – don't waste. Don't be waste[ful]. Allāh, He not like people who are wasting. But now the economy in this world, it is in hand of shayṭān and they said you must spend, you must waste for economy to be alive. If you not doing this, economy will collapse and finish. Look Allāh what He, what Allāh saying and shayṭān what he said. And they really, they put themself in trap they cannot go out of this. But for us, we are not obligatory to follow them. We must be, we must be not waste good thing; not waste – specially for eating, drinking. You must be respect for your provision and you must look after this because it is favour from Allāh. Allāh give us this and all this – until one meal coming to you, how many angels looking? From raining – each rain coming angel with rain and who... when growing vegetable or plant also with angel growing. Don't think it's growing by this machine or others. All this need angels. And if you are respect it, will be Allāh give barakah. If not wasting, you give barakah.
You respect each piece of bread, each peach of food, Allāh happy with you. But if you are not, it is many times it is taking from people the richness, this provision giving from them because they are wasting. Allāh punish them here before Judgement Day. We see many people, we see they was millionaire and they broke. After, they need for piece of bread – asking but no cannot find. Sometimes people even, when broken people you help them, no benefit because Allāh just punish them. You try to help them, to make them again to be like before. It is difficult, difficult because this provision... When becoming angry for you once, only you have this chance, this luck, only in your life you have it once. If you keep it, it will be continue but when run away from you, you cannot catch anymore. For this, if you are, even you are rich, don't waste what you have. Especially respect for food and... yes – food and thing you eat or don't throw. Don't make too many and throw to dustbin for dirt, with dirt. If you have, you can make as much you can eat. No. Maybe you have more you cannot, you cannot eat this – you can give
for poor people. If there is no poor people also you mustn't throw for dustbin. You must keep for animal and say, "I couldn't eat this but I give this ṣadaqah for animal." You keep it, don't throw in dustbin – the most dangerous thing for people, for especially because people now they are looking the most for their pocket, their money. If you throw this, you cannot find anymore. Allāh punish you and you will be not find this anymore. Mawlānā Shaykh also all time saying, "Take what you can eat. Don't leave in your plate." This is sunnah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to clean plate. But unfortunately Muslim they are wasting this more than other people, non-Muslim. Especially we see in petrol- Muslim, they they have, if any guest coming they prevent and they have thinking they have obligatory to be generous with guest. Maybe three guests coming, they bring big sheep full of rice and what will eat this people? Maybe one leg only. If they are too much eater they can eat one one leg only. Other they thought they take this – throw in dustbin. So now they are all suffering. We last year was in Ḥajj. All people all this country they was the richest people in the world but we are seeing all they are complaining from economy, from this... This is from Allāh and once we have been in gathering for this Ṣūfī people and they give food. And we clean dishes but I saw other dishes they are have, they put, let little bit of food in plate. They said it is custom here to leave something. If you do it like this, it is shame for as [if] you are hungry – who clean, you are eating everything, you not leave any. And this was Sūfī gathering. And even in this, shayṭān was his, shayṭān order coming over Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam order. Sub Haan Allah, this is real ignorant for people. But they are no... they read this better than me and you and understanding but still... The most waste people – Muslim people. And for this, you see misery or all around the country of Muslim. Especially not respecting food or bread or what we can eat. If anything happen, quickly throw in dustbin. Yāhū there is animal they can eat this. There is poor people they can, you can give. No. Must in dustbin, no nothing anymore. Allāh keep us in respecting His ni'mah provision, His gift and not to be from this people, musrifīn, wasting people. Very important this because our life it is... to be rest in your life, if you have more from Allāh's gift you are more happy and you be, [those] around you also happy. This is what we are, Insha Allah, intend for people. We are, we want good wishes for people and to see people not suffering from poorness, from... And poorness it is not good and the the biggest reason for this – to not respect ni'mah. Allāh keep us in respecting His ni'mah and thanking for Him for each atom from His ni'mah. Allāh .give barakah for it, Insha Allah ni'mah whole time on us. Allāh make His.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
103.LOOK FOR LAYLATU L-QADR Tuesday, 28 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.
In the last days of Ramaḍān, our Prophet addresses us and advises us to look for Laylatu l- Qadr during these last ten days. Laylatu l-Qadr is a holy night. Who stays awake or shows respect to that night receives the merits of a thousand nights. When Shaykh Mawlānā visited Grandshaykh for the first time, he saw the light of Grandshaykh who said to people there to think of every night as Laylatu l-Qadr and everyone as Khiḍr. So if we worship, not only during ten days, but during the whole year as if it is Laylatu l- Qadr, certainly one of those nights we will reach that reward and that merit even if we don't realize it. We will get thawāb and pleasure of Allah. The goal is to be closer to our Prophet.
Most people look for Laylatu l-Qadr and wish for worldly things, asking for this and that. Allāh will give it, Allāh gives barakah. But more important is its value in Ākhirah. A thousand months are equal to a lifetime. It is eighty years and many people pass away without reaching that age.
Therefore, every year shukr to Allāh even if we don't know which night it is, we will receive its merit before passing away, Insha Allah. Because when you pray the night prayer, complete your worship, get up for tahajjud and pray fajr, you revive that night. Allāh accepts that night as if you were awake the whole night. Therefore, these days are holy days.
Nevertheless, Insha Allah, we will think of the 27th as Laylatu l-Qadr but our intention is to get its merits and Allāh's pleasure every night. According to that intention, Allāh will reward us, Insha Allah. We will receive His blessings, Insha Allah both physical and spiritual. And our prayers will be accepted. And we should pray most that our children and our ego follow the right way. We are at the end of times now. It is a very dangerous time. There are shayāṭīn – which is normal, they are always around. And there are people who pass beyond them. People invented even worse, more evil things, in other fields. We should always pray that Allāh protects us from them. A prayer is a believer's weapon. We don't have other weapons. We don't have other strengths. You can't persuade anyone. With du‘ā’, you will be protected with the permission of Allāh.
May our children and the Ummat of Muḥammad be protected from shayāṭīn. May Allāh protect all of us for the honour of Laylatu l-Qadr, Insha Allah.
Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he saying look for Laylatu l-Qadr. The meaning – this very blessed night Allāh mentioned in Qur’ān this night it is better than thousand months. A thousand months it means eighty years. Eighty years – nearly one life, whole life for people. Many people they cannot reach eighty-year-old, maybe seventy, sixty, or something like this. The few people they reach eighty years but one night it is equal and better than eighty years or a thousand months.
This is night which Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying look for this night in these days, the end of Ramaḍān, ten days of Ramaḍān. And it can be whole Ramaḍān also Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. And can be in whole year also. But mostly it is in Ramaḍān because in this night also Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was sent for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. So it is very blessed night but we, many people saying, "Which night?" so Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Look for all this."
And, Alhamdulilah, what we will do in this night? To most important to be with jamā‘ah praying night. After when sleep, wake for Tahajjud and for fajr, for saḥūr – you accept as you wake up whole night. And Mawlānā, Mawlānā Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim (qs), he said first time he met his Shaykh he went to his zāwiyah there was he first thing he said for people because he know Mawlānā – "You must be believe every night it is Qadr, Laylatu l-Qadr, and you must believe every person as Khiḍr.” Khiḍr, Sayyidunā Khiḍr ‘alayhi s-salām, who it he is alive since thousands years and he has mission going around Ummat Muḥammad helping people.
And many people whole life they are looking after Sayyidunā Khiḍr. And many people also who looking after Laylatu l-Qadr. And most of them looking for these two, Sayyidunā Khiḍr and Laylatu l-Qadr, for benefit, especially for material benefit. Because if you catch this you can be get what you want and it is real but what [we] will do? But most important to get the bless of a thousand months. This is more important.
Alhamdulilah we are many time, because every year it is once a year, so every night when you do this you will be get this bless as you are [as] if you live fifty times – fifty times life you have. With whole life you are worshipping and getting blessed, reward and so it will be ,written for you like this and so you will be very happy in Ākhirah, more close for Allāh more close for Prophet and Awliyā’u Llāh. This is more important than material thing. So we are, Insha Allah, normally we do in twenty-seventh, this time it is Friday, but, as we said, we are not sure that night or other night. For this, whole night we will, we must be pray ‘Ishā’ and pray morning with jamā‘ah. Allāh accept as we are wake up all this night and reward, He reward us for this.
And in this night, every night also, we must pray for Ummah, for yourself, for youngs and children of this Ummah because du‘ā’ praying it is most important weapon for believer. Because we are living in time is real very bad. Shayṭān they are normal. No more they are doing, what they are doing before also. But this days there is shayṭān from human being becoming worst and worse. And they make a new machine, they make a new thing, drugs, even machine, they when you seeing for this machine they become, children, also like crazy. Very dangerous we are living in this time. So for us every time we must pray to Allāh He keep us safe from this bad thing and keep our children and children of Ummat Muḥammad to be safe from this. Allāh reward you and get bless of Laylatu l-Qadr every time, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
104.BAD EYE AND ENVY Wednesday, 29 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, "Ista‘īnū ‘alá umūrikum bil-kitmān, fa’inna kulli dhī ni‘mah maḥsūd." Aw kamā qāl. Don't conduct your business in public. Do a good job. When you have some business, when you have something to do, there is no need to tell everybody says our Prophet. Keep it to yourself. Because it says a person with blessings is envied. So they envy him and are jealous. When this is the case, that business will not go well. For it to work out, no need to tell everyone about it. But people nowadays do completely the opposite. People of this time want to advertise everything here and there. And the result is that huge companies worth millions go bankrupt. It is a big example, but even people with small work want to show off what they do and advertise themselves. Of course, not everyone can handle this. There are some who cannot and they feel envy. So after being touched by an evil eye, the work either proceeds a little or finishes before it starts.
It is a good saying of our Prophet. And it is for everything. Even when eating out in a restaurant, Mawlānā would advise not to sit by the street. There are those who can afford it and those who cannot; those who can eat it and those who cannot because of illness. Your food will poison you, he would say. Therefore, it is from adab, both the adab of Islām and the adab of ṭarīqah. No need to tell about your every action. When you make a donation, it is better if you do it in secret. Same for ordinary activities. Do it normally without telling anyone. You are not forced to do so. You are doing your own thing. What do you want from people? If you earn, you share. But if you do it for showing off it becomes arrogance. Because of this, people don't succeed most of the time. And there are some people who claim to do this and that. They cheat people and take them down with them.
May Allāh protect us.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, giving very good – every thing he said [is a] jewel, precious thing. This also he said, "Ista‘īnū ‘alá umūrikum bil-kitmān, fa’inna kulli dhī ni‘mah maḥsūd." Make what you will do, make it in not openly for people. You will do something, work, business, going, coming – no need to make it for people, for
common people. "I will do this. I will buy this. I will sell this. I will make this business." Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam – "Don't say this." Because everyone, people they are have bad eyes and envity [envy]. This envity not good – make your, what you will do, it will be not succeed. But if you want to be your, what you do, succeed – it is if keep it secret or not so common. Because as we said people they are have this envity, most of people. So better what you do, everything, to do it by yourself. If you are succeed, you thank Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
But this days, nowadays, it is opposite. They will do something or they everything they make for whole world must know this. Now also this shayṭān machine, they put their picture, they put their children's picture, they put what they done, what they eating, what they drinking. And so people know it and this is, there is poison in eyes and in envity also. It is not joke. But Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he saying for our benefit, to not harm yourself. And we see many company, from biggest company also, they are saying, "We are like this. We are like that." After, you hear they broken. This will be, we give example for big one but there is for common people also. Everything – no need to tell people. Allāh He give you this ni'mah and this favour for you thank Allāh for this, not showing people what you do. Even you are making charity or making good thing, also you can make it secretly also. It is better also.
But our whole people they are brainwashed – brain-dirt I think better. They are with this whole world must know what they done, what they have. From when we are young one, we have maybe childhood six or seven pictures from our childhood or small boy or baby. We don't have anything and it was okay. Now every day they put hundreds pictures and this is – and they spread around people.
We must be careful. We must listen for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. This benefit for our life, also here-life, and for Akhirah also. Allāh .keep us safe from this bad eyes and envity, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
105.BY THE LIGHT OF OUR HEARTS Thursday, 30 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, "Idha ḥaddathtumu l-‘ibāda ‘an rabbahim falā ta‘zubū ‘anhum fayashuqqū ‘alayhim." Aw kamā qāl. When you speak to people about Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla, speak on a level they can understand so that they understand and can apply it. Otherwise, if it is difficult to understand, to speak about it is useless. There are many people who speak, their level may be high and they speak in a way others cannot understand in order to show themselves off. They don't care if it is understood or not. Therefore, our Prophet is saying to speak as much as people can understand and on a level they can understand. It is possible that in some places there are people who understand more. You can speak as much as you want in those places. But for people who do not understand, it is harder. For those who have just started learning, you must speak accordingly so they may benefit and you may benefit too.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everyone to learn and ordered us to do so. Mankind should develop himself and try to apply the things he learns. Allāh created us to become better and better. Therefore, to ask for knowledge is farḍ for everyone. "I’m not able to go. I can’t go to madrasah. I can't go to school. I can't learn." It is not that kind of knowledge. The knowledge of Allāh and our Prophet can be learned every day. One learns new things every hour. When he attends a gathering, he may make intention to learn for Allāh's pleasure and take benefit. And as a seeker of knowledge, he will be given from those favours. Because assemblies of knowledge are the most beloved gatherings of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, beloved gatherings of our Prophet. Therefore, it is good to do good to people who attend these gatherings of knowledge and make them happy. No need to be cross with them or say, "You don't know anything," and be angry. If you are patient, you will be rewarded and they will get benefit. But when you obey your ego and get angry trying to teach something, they may not come ever again and there will be no benefit. And you will be responsible for this. May Allāh give us understanding.
Sometimes people’s heads stop working. We are humans, it’s normal. We may get tired or be busy with some work. Some people say, "My mind has stopped." It can happen. They are human. When you are patient, Insha Allah, Allāh will open. When you are patient, certainly Allāh will give good understanding to you in return, Insha Allah.
Allāh gives knowing to us, Insha Allah. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying when you speak about your Lord speak as people they can understand. Don't go so high so people they cannot understand. Everybody he has knowledge, small or more, so for this, when you are speaking for knowledge of high knowledge, maybe people they cannot understand and it will be difficult and hard for them. For this, Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam saying – don't make it hard, don't make it difficult for people. Slowly, slowly, when their level going more, they more understanding about what you speak. And everybody learning.
Human being they are as they said, they are not coming learned from baby time. Slowly, slowly, baby learning, learning. First speaking. After walking. After going school. So it is like this. So when you try to teach baby to read, to write, you cannot but after they can do this. For ourself also, we are obligatory to learn from childhood until end of our life. So how we are going to madrasah school? You cannot know. We are like this suhbah place or other place – every day your intention to be learn, to obey order of Allāh, to be ṭālib ‘ilm (seeker of knowledge), to learn. So this is what people slowly, slowly they can going more knowledgeable and they can understand what you are saying.
And this is for knowledge we must know about our Lord. Because He is our Creator, we must know about Him to praise Him, to obey Him, to glory Him more and mor

pride as an atom, you will certainly go to hell. Pride means shirk to Allāh. “Pride belongs to Me," says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Therefore, pride is the most disliked" character. Who has it certainly loses. May Allāh protect us. May Allāh make us from the modest people, Insha Allah. May all of us have no pride.The summary of that āyah is that pride is equal to loss and sorrow for people; that sadness comes because of pride. May Allāh protect us.
There is āyah, āyah cannot remember exactly but, Lā jarama annahum fi l-ākhirati humu l- akhsarūn (11:22). Aw... what meaning? Who are not believing in next day, Ākhirah, they are proud people. The proud people they are the most loser – akhsarūn. Akhsar,
khasara, meaning losing, loser, the extremely loser because they are not believing any life after this life and they are acting for this – no fear from nobody will ask what you done, what you, how you live, what you done, what you earn, what you eat, what you drink. They thought it is free. Even in dunyā they are not free. Especially country like the most modern country, most they are becoming more not free. Everything they asking for penny, they asking what you done for this, for what you bring this, from what...? So you are, for this you are here you are not free. For Ākhirah how can be?
For this they are doing every badness, every badness for people, for themself. Not accepting order of Allāh, coming against of His order. And after, when they say something, they are saying nothing like this. "We are clever and clever people not believing for this. This who they don't have mind they are they believe for such a thing." But they are real foolish, real idiot, who not believe for Ākhirah, for being of Allāh. Because everything in this exist showing there is Creator. And they are doing statue, they are doing machine, they are doing everything but they [these things] don't have soul. For this, the soul, Allāh give for everyone in this world – from human being, for other also they have something like this. Because when this finish, it go, you cannot bring it back. And this is enough proof for to be aware from Ākhirah, to accept existence of Allāh. And He can, He bring you from nothing, from... and now you will go. You will be something before. Before this life you are nothing at all but here, now, we are something and when you go to Ākhirah you will be come again from thing. So more easy, if they are thinking, to come again for life, from [rather than] coming from nothing. But they are idiot. They are not thinking. Only thinking following their ego for their desire only. This is what they are worshipping. Not worshipping Allāh, worshipping shayṭān and their desire and their ego. And for this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying they are the loser. And most important thing here for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla – to not be proud. Proud people, they are every time that not happy with people. They are thinking they are higher than people and people must be under them. And this is what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla not accept – pride. Pride for Allāh only. "It is for Me." He said. For this, when any pride in your heart, Allāh not happy. Even they must go to hell first to finish this. This is partner accepting Allāh when something saying "I am like this. I am that." – pride. So it is wisdom here to not be proud. Allāh keep us from this bad desire. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create all of us same. No any thing to be proud for other people. Even with your, if your religion you doing five time praying, you fasting, doing this – don't be proud. Also this from Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. He give this for you. You must be thankful for Him and saying, "This all from You, not from us. We are not proud. You help us to do this." Allāh help us all time, Insha Allah.

101.ALLAH’S PROGRAM Sunday, 26 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 when Allāh wills something to happen, even if a person says he is clever, he will lose his mind and that thing will take place. And then his sanity will return and he will wail about what he did. This means that when Allāh wants something, it will happen. And a person with a mind can’t make that mistake or do that thing which needs to be done. Certainly he will lose his mind first, and then wail in regret. This can happen to everyone in this world. Sometimes big mistakes are made, sometimes small ones and even those bother people.
Mankind thinks this world is going to be their place forever. However, there is not long to live. There are people who claim they rule over the world. They believe it is as they like and according to their order. But when the Will of Allāh is going to appear, they will be surprised too. They won't know what to do, and it will be as Allāh says. This world is not eternal. It is only until some time. Then it will change, then change again. It is the End of Times and then Qiyāmah will happen. Certainly for everything to happen, there must be some sign or action. And that is the regret of people for not knowing what to do after realizing the Order of Allāh. But everything is over then. There is no return from that. Therefore, we are living in the End of Times, and its signs are slowly showing up. Therefore, no need to get upset for dunyā. Be with Allāh, and Allāh will protect you both here and Hereafter.
May Allāh not let us lose the way. May Allāh help us use our minds, Insha Allah.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, when Allāh want something to happen, He take the thinking, good thinking, mind from people. After they done something wrong or who has mind, he has, he is clever, cannot do this. After this they say, "What we done?" with, they are regret. They are cannot... They are blaming themself – "How
we done this? We are people, clever people, we are thinking for everything but what we done it is wrong." This is what Allāh, He want for whole human being like this. For sometimes even they make small mistake also. You, when you see it, it is funny, cannot anybody do it. "But why I done this?" he said. This is from Allāh. So this, for small one, for bigger one, for more powerful one, for every one Allāh can make this to make His Will with the program to be done.
Because now people in this world they are saying, "We are make law, we make our program. We are controlling whole this world. Nothing can do. We make plan before hundred year and this coming like this. We are not thinking to about anything, no mercy, nothing. Our plan must go like this because when our program like this world it will be good for us." So they are continuing this. But Allāh for this people also, He can take their mind and doing wrong thing. After, they cannot continue what they are doing and they are blaming themself – "How we done this mistake?" But it is normal because nothing be forever in this world and there is now time, End of Time, who thinking theirself they are powerful, they are good, they are can controlling whole world – they are forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He has [His] program and it's [a] program slowly slowly going to Judgement Day which it must be something happen. And at the end, all people they will be – who some of them happy, some of them not happy. They are some of them regret but time, that time they cannot do anything.
So Allāh save us from bad people and keep our mind to not be do wrong thing; to be in this right way, Insha Allah, not going out this way. As much we are asking help from Allāh ,can do anything. But when you are asking, praying for this done, He because He He is Merciful. He will be, Insha Allah, keep us in this way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

102.DON’T WASTE YOUR PROVISION Monday, 27 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.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Kulū wa-shrabū wa-lā tusrifū" (7:31). says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Eat and drink but don't waste. Wasting is a quality disliked by Allāh. Wasteful people will certainly finish badly in dunyā and in Akhirah. People nowadays... This is not Allāh's order but the order of shayṭān: "You should waste in order to succeed." We look at some place, when they don't waste, people say the economy stops or slows down. They say such and such spending is required for the economy to grow and work. It is wasteful but what can you do? It is their time now. This must happen. Nevertheless, Muslims should watch their consumption.
Food is very important. You should show respect for food. When you eat at home, you may not like old bread. If you don't, then make less. Don't make a lot and throw it away. Throwing food is not being grateful but rejecting it. It is not shukr to Allāh but kufr to Allāh. Allāh gave so much food and you throw it into the garbage and ask for fresh bread. If it is old, you throw it away. It is a big misbehavior. People carry the punishment for this in this world already. Who doesn't value food; if food is mistreated, you won't find it afterwards. You will look for it but won't get. It is so widespread, what can we do? Don't buy too much. If you bought too much, don't throw it away. If you couldn't finish it, put it aside. Pets can eat it or you can give it to people who have animals. If you gave away enough, you can give to stray animals too. But when you throw in the garbage that is different.
Allāh forbid, if you lose the provision once, it is hard to get it back. This is a matter of experience. We see it a lot. There are many people who went bankrupt. They struggle to do something, but nothing works out. You should stay away from such people. No benefit comes from them. Because there are some situations which happen as punishment. When punishment comes, you want to help them but you may get from that punishment too. Because they are being punished, even if those who help them are not punished, their actions will be wasted. That is why, you should use your provisions properly. Distribute it for charity. If you want to show your generosity by doing useless ḥarām things, that is not generosity, that is squandering. You will get punished for that. That is why, may Allāh protect us, daily bread is valuable. Before a morsel reaches your
mouth, so many angels have brought its barakah from heaven. Those angels work in order to put the barakah of soil into every growing seed. It doesn't happen without cause. Don't think you plant and it’s done now. If those angels don't work, nothing happens. That is why, in respect and gratitude to Allāh, you must take care of the food He gives. You should clean your plate without leaving anything on it. That is the sunnah of our Prophet. We went to an Islamic conference. We ate and cleaned our plate. The others left food on their plates. Why? Because they think if you don't leave food, it is a shame – as if you were greedy and couldn't stop. Some food must be left. Just look, it was a Muslim meeting and, as we said, even there shayṭān's words ruled. Our Prophet says not to leave anything on the plate. Mawlānā used to say – take as much as you can eat and don't be impudent. Do not leave anything on your plate. Eat, take. Not enough? Take more. But when you don't finish what is on your plate and throw it away – that is not good.
May Allāh keep us from being wasteful. May Allāh make our food lasting, Insha Allah. May our hidden and apparent food last, Insha Allah. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, "Kulū wa-shrabū wa-lā tusrifū" (7:31). Eat and drink – don't waste. Don't be waste[ful]. Allāh, He not like people who are wasting. But now the economy in this world, it is in hand of shayṭān and they said you must spend, you must waste for economy to be alive. If you not doing this, economy will collapse and finish. Look Allāh what He, what Allāh saying and shayṭān what he said. And they really, they put themself in trap they cannot go out of this. But for us, we are not obligatory to follow them. We must be, we must be not waste good thing; not waste – specially for eating, drinking. You must be respect for your provision and you must look after this because it is favour from Allāh. Allāh give us this and all this – until one meal coming to you, how many angels looking? From raining – each rain coming angel with rain and who... when growing vegetable or plant also with angel growing. Don't think it's growing by this machine or others. All this need angels. And if you are respect it, will be Allāh give barakah. If not wasting, you give barakah.
You respect each piece of bread, each peach of food, Allāh happy with you. But if you are not, it is many times it is taking from people the richness, this provision giving from them because they are wasting. Allāh punish them here before Judgement Day. We see many people, we see they was millionaire and they broke. After, they need for piece of bread – asking but no cannot find. Sometimes people even, when broken people you help them, no benefit because Allāh just punish them. You try to help them, to make them again to be like before. It is difficult, difficult because this provision... When becoming angry for you once, only you have this chance, this luck, only in your life you have it once. If you keep it, it will be continue but when run away from you, you cannot catch anymore. For this, if you are, even you are rich, don't waste what you have. Especially respect for food and... yes – food and thing you eat or don't throw. Don't make too many and throw to dustbin for dirt, with dirt. If you have, you can make as much you can eat. No. Maybe you have more you cannot, you cannot eat this – you can give
for poor people. If there is no poor people also you mustn't throw for dustbin. You must keep for animal and say, "I couldn't eat this but I give this ṣadaqah for animal." You keep it, don't throw in dustbin – the most dangerous thing for people, for especially because people now they are looking the most for their pocket, their money. If you throw this, you cannot find anymore. Allāh punish you and you will be not find this anymore. Mawlānā Shaykh also all time saying, "Take what you can eat. Don't leave in your plate." This is sunnah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to clean plate. But unfortunately Muslim they are wasting this more than other people, non-Muslim. Especially we see in petrol- Muslim, they they have, if any guest coming they prevent and they have thinking they have obligatory to be generous with guest. Maybe three guests coming, they bring big sheep full of rice and what will eat this people? Maybe one leg only. If they are too much eater they can eat one one leg only. Other they thought they take this – throw in dustbin. So now they are all suffering. We last year was in Ḥajj. All people all this country they was the richest people in the world but we are seeing all they are complaining from economy, from this... This is from Allāh and once we have been in gathering for this Ṣūfī people and they give food. And we clean dishes but I saw other dishes they are have, they put, let little bit of food in plate. They said it is custom here to leave something. If you do it like this, it is shame for as [if] you are hungry – who clean, you are eating everything, you not leave any. And this was Sūfī gathering. And even in this, shayṭān was his, shayṭān order coming over Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam order. Sub Haan Allah, this is real ignorant for people. But they are no... they read this better than me and you and understanding but still... The most waste people – Muslim people. And for this, you see misery or all around the country of Muslim. Especially not respecting food or bread or what we can eat. If anything happen, quickly throw in dustbin. Yāhū there is animal they can eat this. There is poor people they can, you can give. No. Must in dustbin, no nothing anymore. Allāh keep us in respecting His ni'mah provision, His gift and not to be from this people, musrifīn, wasting people. Very important this because our life it is... to be rest in your life, if you have more from Allāh's gift you are more happy and you be, [those] around you also happy. This is what we are, Insha Allah, intend for people. We are, we want good wishes for people and to see people not suffering from poorness, from... And poorness it is not good and the the biggest reason for this – to not respect ni'mah. Allāh keep us in respecting His ni'mah and thanking for Him for each atom from His ni'mah. Allāh .give barakah for it, Insha Allah ni'mah whole time on us. Allāh make His.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
103.LOOK FOR LAYLATU L-QADR Tuesday, 28 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.
In the last days of Ramaḍān, our Prophet addresses us and advises us to look for Laylatu l- Qadr during these last ten days. Laylatu l-Qadr is a holy night. Who stays awake or shows respect to that night receives the merits of a thousand nights. When Shaykh Mawlānā visited Grandshaykh for the first time, he saw the light of Grandshaykh who said to people there to think of every night as Laylatu l-Qadr and everyone as Khiḍr. So if we worship, not only during ten days, but during the whole year as if it is Laylatu l- Qadr, certainly one of those nights we will reach that reward and that merit even if we don't realize it. We will get thawāb and pleasure of Allah. The goal is to be closer to our Prophet.
Most people look for Laylatu l-Qadr and wish for worldly things, asking for this and that. Allāh will give it, Allāh gives barakah. But more important is its value in Ākhirah. A thousand months are equal to a lifetime. It is eighty years and many people pass away without reaching that age.
Therefore, every year shukr to Allāh even if we don't know which night it is, we will receive its merit before passing away, Insha Allah. Because when you pray the night prayer, complete your worship, get up for tahajjud and pray fajr, you revive that night. Allāh accepts that night as if you were awake the whole night. Therefore, these days are holy days.
Nevertheless, Insha Allah, we will think of the 27th as Laylatu l-Qadr but our intention is to get its merits and Allāh's pleasure every night. According to that intention, Allāh will reward us, Insha Allah. We will receive His blessings, Insha Allah both physical and spiritual. And our prayers will be accepted. And we should pray most that our children and our ego follow the right way. We are at the end of times now. It is a very dangerous time. There are shayāṭīn – which is normal, they are always around. And there are people who pass beyond them. People invented even worse, more evil things, in other fields. We should always pray that Allāh protects us from them. A prayer is a believer's weapon. We don't have other weapons. We don't have other strengths. You can't persuade anyone. With du‘ā’, you will be protected with the permission of Allāh.
May our children and the Ummat of Muḥammad be protected from shayāṭīn. May Allāh protect all of us for the honour of Laylatu l-Qadr, Insha Allah.
Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he saying look for Laylatu l-Qadr. The meaning – this very blessed night Allāh mentioned in Qur’ān this night it is better than thousand months. A thousand months it means eighty years. Eighty years – nearly one life, whole life for people. Many people they cannot reach eighty-year-old, maybe seventy, sixty, or something like this. The few people they reach eighty years but one night it is equal and better than eighty years or a thousand months.
This is night which Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying look for this night in these days, the end of Ramaḍān, ten days of Ramaḍān. And it can be whole Ramaḍān also Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. And can be in whole year also. But mostly it is in Ramaḍān because in this night also Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was sent for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. So it is very blessed night but we, many people saying, "Which night?" so Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Look for all this."
And, Alhamdulilah, what we will do in this night? To most important to be with jamā‘ah praying night. After when sleep, wake for Tahajjud and for fajr, for saḥūr – you accept as you wake up whole night. And Mawlānā, Mawlānā Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim (qs), he said first time he met his Shaykh he went to his zāwiyah there was he first thing he said for people because he know Mawlānā – "You must be believe every night it is Qadr, Laylatu l-Qadr, and you must believe every person as Khiḍr.” Khiḍr, Sayyidunā Khiḍr ‘alayhi s-salām, who it he is alive since thousands years and he has mission going around Ummat Muḥammad helping people.
And many people whole life they are looking after Sayyidunā Khiḍr. And many people also who looking after Laylatu l-Qadr. And most of them looking for these two, Sayyidunā Khiḍr and Laylatu l-Qadr, for benefit, especially for material benefit. Because if you catch this you can be get what you want and it is real but what [we] will do? But most important to get the bless of a thousand months. This is more important.
Alhamdulilah we are many time, because every year it is once a year, so every night when you do this you will be get this bless as you are [as] if you live fifty times – fifty times life you have. With whole life you are worshipping and getting blessed, reward and so it will be ,written for you like this and so you will be very happy in Ākhirah, more close for Allāh more close for Prophet and Awliyā’u Llāh. This is more important than material thing. So we are, Insha Allah, normally we do in twenty-seventh, this time it is Friday, but, as we said, we are not sure that night or other night. For this, whole night we will, we must be pray ‘Ishā’ and pray morning with jamā‘ah. Allāh accept as we are wake up all this night and reward, He reward us for this.
And in this night, every night also, we must pray for Ummah, for yourself, for youngs and children of this Ummah because du‘ā’ praying it is most important weapon for believer. Because we are living in time is real very bad. Shayṭān they are normal. No more they are doing, what they are doing before also. But this days there is shayṭān from human being becoming worst and worse. And they make a new machine, they make a new thing, drugs, even machine, they when you seeing for this machine they become, children, also like crazy. Very dangerous we are living in this time. So for us every time we must pray to Allāh He keep us safe from this bad thing and keep our children and children of Ummat Muḥammad to be safe from this. Allāh reward you and get bless of Laylatu l-Qadr every time, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
104.BAD EYE AND ENVY Wednesday, 29 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, "Ista‘īnū ‘alá umūrikum bil-kitmān, fa’inna kulli dhī ni‘mah maḥsūd." Aw kamā qāl. Don't conduct your business in public. Do a good job. When you have some business, when you have something to do, there is no need to tell everybody says our Prophet. Keep it to yourself. Because it says a person with blessings is envied. So they envy him and are jealous. When this is the case, that business will not go well. For it to work out, no need to tell everyone about it. But people nowadays do completely the opposite. People of this time want to advertise everything here and there. And the result is that huge companies worth millions go bankrupt. It is a big example, but even people with small work want to show off what they do and advertise themselves. Of course, not everyone can handle this. There are some who cannot and they feel envy. So after being touched by an evil eye, the work either proceeds a little or finishes before it starts.
It is a good saying of our Prophet. And it is for everything. Even when eating out in a restaurant, Mawlānā would advise not to sit by the street. There are those who can afford it and those who cannot; those who can eat it and those who cannot because of illness. Your food will poison you, he would say. Therefore, it is from adab, both the adab of Islām and the adab of ṭarīqah. No need to tell about your every action. When you make a donation, it is better if you do it in secret. Same for ordinary activities. Do it normally without telling anyone. You are not forced to do so. You are doing your own thing. What do you want from people? If you earn, you share. But if you do it for showing off it becomes arrogance. Because of this, people don't succeed most of the time. And there are some people who claim to do this and that. They cheat people and take them down with them.
May Allāh protect us.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, giving very good – every thing he said [is a] jewel, precious thing. This also he said, "Ista‘īnū ‘alá umūrikum bil-kitmān, fa’inna kulli dhī ni‘mah maḥsūd." Make what you will do, make it in not openly for people. You will do something, work, business, going, coming – no need to make it for people, for
common people. "I will do this. I will buy this. I will sell this. I will make this business." Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam – "Don't say this." Because everyone, people they are have bad eyes and envity [envy]. This envity not good – make your, what you will do, it will be not succeed. But if you want to be your, what you do, succeed – it is if keep it secret or not so common. Because as we said people they are have this envity, most of people. So better what you do, everything, to do it by yourself. If you are succeed, you thank Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
But this days, nowadays, it is opposite. They will do something or they everything they make for whole world must know this. Now also this shayṭān machine, they put their picture, they put their children's picture, they put what they done, what they eating, what they drinking. And so people know it and this is, there is poison in eyes and in envity also. It is not joke. But Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he saying for our benefit, to not harm yourself. And we see many company, from biggest company also, they are saying, "We are like this. We are like that." After, you hear they broken. This will be, we give example for big one but there is for common people also. Everything – no need to tell people. Allāh He give you this ni'mah and this favour for you thank Allāh for this, not showing people what you do. Even you are making charity or making good thing, also you can make it secretly also. It is better also.
But our whole people they are brainwashed – brain-dirt I think better. They are with this whole world must know what they done, what they have. From when we are young one, we have maybe childhood six or seven pictures from our childhood or small boy or baby. We don't have anything and it was okay. Now every day they put hundreds pictures and this is – and they spread around people.
We must be careful. We must listen for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. This benefit for our life, also here-life, and for Akhirah also. Allāh .keep us safe from this bad eyes and envity, Insha Allah.

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, "Idha ḥaddathtumu l-‘ibāda ‘an rabbahim falā ta‘zubū ‘anhum fayashuqqū ‘alayhim." Aw kamā qāl. When you speak to people about Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla, speak on a level they can understand so that they understand and can apply it. Otherwise, if it is difficult to understand, to speak about it is useless. There are many people who speak, their level may be high and they speak in a way others cannot understand in order to show themselves off. They don't care if it is understood or not. Therefore, our Prophet is saying to speak as much as people can understand and on a level they can understand. It is possible that in some places there are people who understand more. You can speak as much as you want in those places. But for people who do not understand, it is harder. For those who have just started learning, you must speak accordingly so they may benefit and you may benefit too.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everyone to learn and ordered us to do so. Mankind should develop himself and try to apply the things he learns. Allāh created us to become better and better. Therefore, to ask for knowledge is farḍ for everyone. "I’m not able to go. I can’t go to madrasah. I can't go to school. I can't learn." It is not that kind of knowledge. The knowledge of Allāh and our Prophet can be learned every day. One learns new things every hour. When he attends a gathering, he may make intention to learn for Allāh's pleasure and take benefit. And as a seeker of knowledge, he will be given from those favours. Because assemblies of knowledge are the most beloved gatherings of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, beloved gatherings of our Prophet. Therefore, it is good to do good to people who attend these gatherings of knowledge and make them happy. No need to be cross with them or say, "You don't know anything," and be angry. If you are patient, you will be rewarded and they will get benefit. But when you obey your ego and get angry trying to teach something, they may not come ever again and there will be no benefit. And you will be responsible for this. May Allāh give us understanding.
Sometimes people’s heads stop working. We are humans, it’s normal. We may get tired or be busy with some work. Some people say, "My mind has stopped." It can happen. They are human. When you are patient, Insha Allah, Allāh will open. When you are patient, certainly Allāh will give good understanding to you in return, Insha Allah.
Allāh gives knowing to us, Insha Allah. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying when you speak about your Lord speak as people they can understand. Don't go so high so people they cannot understand. Everybody he has knowledge, small or more, so for this, when you are speaking for knowledge of high knowledge, maybe people they cannot understand and it will be difficult and hard for them. For this, Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam saying – don't make it hard, don't make it difficult for people. Slowly, slowly, when their level going more, they more understanding about what you speak. And everybody learning.
Human being they are as they said, they are not coming learned from baby time. Slowly, slowly, baby learning, learning. First speaking. After walking. After going school. So it is like this. So when you try to teach baby to read, to write, you cannot but after they can do this. For ourself also, we are obligatory to learn from childhood until end of our life. So how we are going to madrasah school? You cannot know. We are like this suhbah place or other place – every day your intention to be learn, to obey order of Allāh, to be ṭālib ‘ilm (seeker of knowledge), to learn. So this is what people slowly, slowly they can going more knowledgeable and they can understand what you are saying.
And this is for knowledge we must know about our Lord. Because He is our Creator, we must know about Him to praise Him, to obey Him, to glory Him more and mor
