follow them our end will be sad. May Allāh let us see and follow the truth, Insha Allah.
Human beings they are looking for reality. They are saying, "We are searching our, what is purpose for our life, for our being here." This is important thing and it is appear everywhere. But people they are not seeing reality. Even what they are seeing, they're... by their imagination they are seeing right thing – wrong thing. Even they saw white, they said, "This is dark, this is black." And they believe this. This is common human
being like this. They are... is difficult for common people to understand what they are seeing. They are seeing something and it's reality, but say, "See, no this not black, it's white. This is tall, no this short. This is good, no this bad." Like this. They don't, they are...
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, "Wa-in tuṭi‘ akthara man fi l-arḍi yuḍillūka ‘an sabīli Llāh" (6:116). If you accept what they are saying, you will be lose your way, you will be out of right way and you be seeing wrong thing.
You are like imagination. Your imagination, you see this, but they said, "No, no this. You are wrong. This is not dog, this is lion. This is not chair, this is car." Like this example for this people. Most of people like this. For this Prophet, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam... and when they are seeing right they said, "No this is wrong, you're wrong way, your way."
For this Prophet, sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, making du‘ā’: "Allāhumma arina l-ḥaqqa ḥaqqaw wa-rzuqna t-tibā‘ah" – "O our Lord, let us to see reality and to accept this, and to follow this."
Because this is our main purpose for human being to follow right, not wrong thing. And Prophet, it is very important, is short ḥadīth, talk of Prophet, sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, but it is very – all they are very important – but this also very, very important: to accept truth and to follow this truth. Not only, "O we accept this." Okay, but you must follow. Even you accept, is also a little bit better than to be like drunk, like taking drug, imagining wrong thing to be right thing. You are now, you are awake and you are knowing truth and what else? To follow this. This is very important.
Allāh help us to see truth, not to be running whole life after nothing, after imagination, after bad thing and we are tiring ourself, we are killing ourself after nothing and, even in the end, it will be very bad for us. Allāh keep us with the truth and following truth, Insha Allah, and accept. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
148.CHARITY UNTIL QIYAMAH Thursday, 3 October 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, "Inna l-arḍa liLlāhi yūrithuhā man yashā’u min ‘ibādihi wa-l- ‘āqibatu lil-muttaqīn" (7:128). This world belongs to Allāh. The whole universe belongs to Allāh. It passes as inheritance amongst His servants, from one person to another. It passes as inheritance or something else. What is important is that everyone is Allāh's servant. Either rebellious or pious, they are all Allāh's servants. And Allāh gave this world for everyone. Everyone lives in it. Its benefit in the end will go to those who fear Allāh and respect Allah and the rest will receive no benefit from it. They can have the whole world, it will be useless.
This country is in the hands of these people. And that is by the will of Allāh. Sometimes they have it, sometimes others do. Sometimes it goes to good ones, sometimes to bad ones. Earth won't go to anyone. People will come after you. There were people before you too. Al- mulku liLlāh – dominion is Allāh's. Everlasting is Allāh. Therefore, we should care about what is next, not this world. We should look after what comes afterwards. Of course, while we are in this world, we need to do as much charity as we can. It will bring benefit to people. It will be useful. Our grandfathers built mosques and opened madrasas, they made foundations. These exist until today. No matter what is lost, there are still the waqf properties. These are the signs of Islām: mosques, dergahs, zāwiyahs, inns and ḥammāms. All of them are the beautiful work of those beautiful people. These are the remainders from them which are left on Earth. And there is even more in Ākhirah.
There are some unfortunate people, they have all the opportunities but they don't leave anything for Akhirah. They don't leave any good works and they don't take anything either. Therefore, may Allāh make us from the giving ones. May our Akhirah be prosperous, Insha Allah. May our dunyā and Akhirah be prosperous, Insha Allah.
Allāh Azza wa-Jalla saying, "Inna l-arḍa liLlāh, yūrithuhā man yashā’u min ibādihi wa- l- āqibatu lil-muttaqīn" (7:128). This meaning, whole this earth for His servants. For Allāh, all human being everything - servants for Allal. If he is believer or not believer, he accept, not accept, he praying, not praying, nobody can say, "I am not servant for
Allāh “. As much you can say, but it is no any thing, any benefit for... you cannot change the reality. And this earth, whole universe for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, but for us, for this... son of Adam, human beings who are living in this earth now, this earth for all of them. Allāh making inherited from one to one or to people coming, other people taking, country taking that country, other country, people they take. All this, they are servant for Allāh.
And Allāh give for everybody. Not saying, "You are believer, I will give you. You are not believer, We are not give you." No. Allāh gives, not looking for everyone, every human being can have anything. This is because place for test, test place. So who... The end for believer, for [those who] they are aware from Allāh, accept what Allāh saying, this is end, good end for them. For other people not good end, it is terrible. But for believer... Allāh, give chance for everybody to be believer, to make charity, to be good people. But some many of them, most of them, they are not looking for this. They are looking only for themselves, to pleasure themselves but it is also they cannot do this.
So what Allāh Azza wa-Jalla give for believer to be give, make this earth better and better and to not looking for this, to encourage them to make for their next life, to make, accept Allāh's order, and after this make charity, make like waqf or something, building mosque, like old time of Khalīfah. There was [at the] the end of Khalīfah time, Ottoman Khalīfah time, they was very respectful for charity. They make charity. "We give this building for sake of Allāh until Qiyāmah." So this is registered and acceptable and everywhere. But after Khalīfah, they was, they destroying this. The most of them they sell it, they stole it, they do. But still, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, many of this waqf standing against non-believer. Even in Quds, we was there, all this around, there is charity waqf. Nobody can force people to go out from this house. Everywhere here also.
Half of our island also waqf, charity. If they was making this charity and Allāh, and when, until Qiyāmah, for their intention, reward them for this. Even people they stole it, even they demolish it, and even they broke it, everything what the niyyat, intention for Qiyāmah, Allāh is Generous, He not disappoint these people and until Qiyāmah He reward them. This is what meaning, "Al-‘āqibatu lil-muttaqīn" (7:128). The end [is] good for believer who [is] aware from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh make us to be with this people, to be make charity. Because many people they have everything, maybe if they live 10.000 years they will be rich but they not, cannot give for their Ākhirah and all this money they will leave and they will go without make any charity, any benefit for themself, only this burden on them. Allāh make us to not be like this people, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
149.A DOOR TO HEAVEN Friday, 4 October 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some places, some people and some times to which Allāh, has given barakah. Thanks to them, people's stations are raised and they come closer to Allāh. Of course, Allāh, the top of them comes our Prophet ‘alayhi ṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-salām. Through him gives mercy to people, gives barakah. Those following him are honoured. And there are times like Jum‘ah, Ramaḍān, three holy months and ‘Īd. These are holy times. During these times Allāh writes a hundred times the thawāb for people. People's ranks increase. And there are places, the most important of which are Makkah, Madīnah, and Quds (Jerusalem), Baytu l-Maqdis.
Shukr to Allāh, we went to Makkah and Madīnah Munawwarah a couple of times. But it's our first time going to Jerusalem. It is a place of spiritual beauty, a wonderful place. It feeds people's souls.
People are running after material things. There, it is spiritual. It is a place chosen by Allāh. For thousands of years that place is where people have gathered and worshipped, where prophets were present. Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām and Sayyidunā Sulaymān, Sayyidunā Ya‘qūb and Isḥāq, Zakarīyā ‘alayhi s-salām, Yahya ‘alayhi s-salām, Isa ‘alayhi s-salām. Hundreds of prophets lived there. And it is praised in the Qur’ān. Our Prophet was present there and all prophets, 124 thousand prophets stood behind him and prayed. It is such a beautiful spiritual place. Allāh let us go there.
Also, contrary to those people who claim there is no spirituality, no sacredness attributed to anybody or any place, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla praises it right in the middle of the Qur’ān. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Subḥāna lladhī asrá bi-‘abdihi laylam mina l-masjidi l- ḥarām, ila l-masjidi l-aqṣa lladhī bārakna ḥawlah" (17:1). To Masjidu l-Aqṣá, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made our Prophet complete his Night Journey because it is a blessed place, and its surroundings are blessed. But when our Prophet went there, it was just a hill without anything on it. No mosque was apparent. It was all in ruins. They built it afterwards. Prophets tell about the future, and our Prophet told about that place and indicated its holiness. It is a sacred place. It is called Baytu l-Maqdis meaning a sacred place. All religions...
There is only one religion, shukr to Allāh. Our Prophet's religion of Islām is the summary of them. They all arrive at the same place. There are those who don't accept and try to resist, but they are there also because of the spirituality present there. And their presence is nothing, as it is open for everyone till the appearance of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
Sayyidunā ‘Umar raḍiya Llāhu ‘anhu decreed that everyone can practice their religion and worship as they like. They have this permission from Sayyidunā ‘Umar. Therefore, when we go there, we should not go for dunyā, but for Ākhirah. When you go there, pray, give ṣadaqāh, and do charity in that beautiful place, for each one gets 500 times the reward. One prayer there is like praying 500 prayers elsewhere.
Thank Allāh, it was meant for us. It happened like a beautiful dream. May Allāh grant it to those who didn't go too. A person feels detached from this world. There is this and that, you did it or not, it is not important. Important is our intention. Our Prophet said we should visit three mosques. "Masjidu l-Ḥarām, my mosque," he says, "and visit Masjidu l- Aqṣá," suggests our Prophet. So based on this, our intention is that. If we want to go there for worldly matters, no need to go then. There are other places for that. But there is no place on earth like this. Therefore, who can go, Insha Allah, it is advised to do so. May Allāh, let everyone go, Insha Allah.
There is place, there is blessed people, blessed times, blessed holy places – Allāh, by his He will show us this. His will, we cannot say, "Why You make this good, this not? This holy, this not? Holy... not?" No. Allāh He, He not in need to ask you. Just you must follow what Allāh He praise him and make him the highest one, you must be follow him, you must be with him. And these people, they are prophets and especially from prophets our Prophet, sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidunā Muḥammad sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, the most praised one. If you love him and you follow him, you will be with him, you will be happy at the end. And he is happy with who happy with him and also making ṣalawāt for him," said Prophet sallá I", also making salawāt for him, said Prophet, Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Also there is holy times, blessed times like Friday, blessed day and this given for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And like Idu l-Adha, ‘Īdu l-Fitr, also and like three holy months. Also like Ashūrā, like Muḥarram, 10th of Muḥarram, and many days there is blessed days also – times. This also Allāh make for people to get blessed, to get barakah, to get benefit, spiritual benefit for them. And it's open for everybody, but very few people they are interested about this. And there is holy place which Allāh show people. First one Ka‘bah, Makkah al- Mukarramah, Masjidu l-Ḥarām, and Masjid of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Madīnah Munawwarah, and the third one Masjidu l-Aqsa, Quds, Jerusalem.
Alhamdulilah we many times we have been in Makkah Mukarramah, Madīnah Munawwarah we visit, but this nearly first time we are visiting Quds, Baytu l-Maqdis, which it is blessed place, area which it is mentioned in the middle of Qur’ān by Sūratu l- Isrā’: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Subhāna lladhī asrá bi-‘abdihi laylam mina l-masjidi l-ḥarāmi ilal-masjidi l-aqṣa lladhī bārakna ḥawlah" (17:1). Who Allāh جل جالله make praising and saying Himself, and saying, "We make our servant, Prophet, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to make journey from Makkah Mukarramah to Baytu l-Maqdis, Quds, Masjidu l-Aqṣá nighttime. And it was that time nearly nothing there, but there is blessed place and it is all this area blessed. Because when Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam arrived there he was imām for whole prophets, 124,000 prophets. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was imām and they was following him.
Alhamdulilah we see this area also and we prayed two raka‘āt there. So this is very spiritual place. Since thousands of years it is like this, it is blessed and it is door for Heaven. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he was going to Heaven through this place. And it is also proof for these people who are not accepting karāmah, not accepting mu‘jizah, miracle. Allāh mentioned this and everything in this area showing different miracle, different thing, and, Alhamdulilah, the people who coming visiting their local people, whole they are Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jamā‘ah and they are 100% like ṭarīqah people accepting, happy with people who are coming for them also.
And they have, Allāh give them this, they have suffering from something, Allāh will reward them for everything, Allāh not leaving anything without reward. And they are also every time they get for each thing doing, 500 times more than other place. If you pray one prayer here, Allāh reward one for one prayer you pray, one prayer they get 500 times more. And it is also for other people like Christians, Jewish.
Also this showing the tolerance of Islām and justice of Islām. Especially the justice of Sayyidunā ‘Umar ibnu l-Khaṭṭāb. When he they come, they show him, see him coming, he was taking walking and holding from his what? ...mule, not horse, it was not horse. But on this top of this animal there was his slave and he was carrying, and when he saw they thought his – but they know – this priest saw, "This is ‘Umar." And they ask him to pray in this... the biggest church for them. He said, "No, if I pray here it will be mosque so it will be I will write for you declaration everything, you are in safe here, nobody touch your church, nobody force you to be change your religion, nobody can touch your even cross, everything it must be like this." It was writing like this until end of time. So everything perfect as what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam time and Sahabah time. Everything Alhamdulilah very strong power of spiritual power there. For this whole people coming through around the world there. And we have good time, it is like very sweet dream it was coming, going fast this time. We have to visit again and for people who not visit we also advise them if they can go, it is really good journey. It's also sunnah because Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he was there what Prophet sallá Llāhu
‘alayhi wa-sallam doing journey there, we also we journey for Quds, for Masjidu l-Aqṣá, Insha Allah. For people around, Alhamdulilah, they are all happy with people and this people who not like miracle, not like this thing, they not like to come there. Only who respect Prophet, respect Ṣaḥābah, respect Awliyā’u Llāh they're there. Very few from other people who not like this. But Allāh keep them away, send good people there, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
150.NO OUTCOME IS WORTHLESS Sunday, 6 October 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The Prophet (saw ) says “I’m amazed at the state of the Muslim. Every affair of his is good.” When provision (ni’ma) comes, Allah giving him good health and wealth, if he gives thanks, he wins [again], and he gets more. On the contrary, if it was a misfortune, a calamity, or poverty that comes, but if he then is patient, he [also] earns. In other words, there is never a loss in a Muslim’s affairs.
The important thing is to give thanks and praise. If you give thanks, Allah will be pleased with you. There is no way in this world that everything will be good for a man. There are things that you think are good for yourself, and there are things that are not good. But for a Muslim, for the people who believe, both are good the Prophet (SAW) says.
People have forgotten this, and as soon as something happens, they rebel. Rebelling is not a good thing. It does not bring any good, because then your suffering is in vain. If you were to do the opposite, however, and be thankful out of trust in Allah, He would give you a lot more. The Prophet (SAW) says, “People in next life will wish they had lived all their life in such a manner.”
Thanks be to Allah! Thanks for all the provisions. He says, “Alhamdulilahi ‘alā kulli ḥāl!” Thanks for everything! Thanks be to Allah! May Allah keep us from lacking in faith. There are satans who are having people go off the path. Gradually rebelling can in the end turn into rebelling against Allah. May Allah protect from such!
Therefore, a man benefits in the Next Life from all if he says, “It all comes from Allah. Thanks be to Allah!”
May Allah not give us a load that we may not be able to carry. May He load us with his blessed provisions (ni‘ma), Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
151.QURAN AND MEMORIZATION Monday, 7 October 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 nunazzilu min al-Qurāni mā huya shifā’un wa- raḥmah.’” (Qur’ān 17:82)
The Glorious Quran is a barakah, a healing (shifa) and a barakah for all. All goodness is in it. Whether one understands it or not, one receives merits. In any case, it is not possible for one to understand it. What is important is that it is the word of Allah, His timeless word. It is transmitted to us by the Prophet’s (SAW) lips. Its barakah is not found anywhere else, so those who are able should read it, and those who do not have it memorized can read it, too. In places we visit, people wish to raise children as ḥuffāẓ [i.e., those who have memorized the Quran], most succeed too, blessed ones. Of course hafizship is not an easy thing [to achieve], but later after completion, it is most important that one protect what he has memorized. So after completion, one has to follow up. If we plant something like a sapling or a vegetable, and say, “I planted this,” then do not take care of it, nothing becomes of it. It dries away.
Hafizship is harder than this, so when you have a child memorize the Quran, you must then have him follow up. If you cannot do this, there is no obligation. The obligation is not to forget what is learnt. This is not properly understood by the people but this is a sin: do not load on more than necessary. The most important thing is to be consistent. If you load up a truckful, but then cannot make a short trip, this is wrong. A small portion at a time, take what you are capable of carrying, and then continue so that is carries on for life.
May Allah give strength to these students who memorized the Quran. May they continue, Insha Allah. It is a great ni‘mah for those who are capable of it. May Allah accept it. Children are innocent; may they have no sins, insha’Allah. Even if they forget, the important thing is that they put effort into it and continue, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
152.THE MONTH OF RABI‘-UL-AWWAL Wednesday, 30 October 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.
Thanks be to Allah. With the provision of Allah it happened to be a pleasant journey with beautiful people, and the ikhwan were pleased, also. At the end of the journey we entered Rabī‘u l-Awwal together, and this too was a gift from Allah. After visiting the Prophet’s (SAW) maqam, entering Rabī‘u l-Awwal was our destiny. Thanks be to Allah.
Rabī‘u l-Awwal is the Prophet’s (SAW) birth month. It is a beautiful month. Safar is a heavy month. It is in the wisdom of Allah that after difficulty comes ease.
It says “Fa inna ma’a l-‘usri yusra(n)” (Qur’ān 94:5). Safar is a difficult month, and after it we entered this beautiful month of the Prophet (SAW). These great generosities, spiritual and material,... Allah ‘azza wa jalla bestows on our Prophet (SAW), and to the one who remembers him, to those who love him. Allah ‘azza wa jalla is the most generous. For the honor of the Holy Prophet (SAW), He grants gifts to the servant He loves. So, during this month recite salawat at least three hundred times daily. It can be increased to a thousand or more, but it should not be less than three hundred, because love of the Prophet (SAW) increases only through salawat. Its benefits happen now or later. Each salawat recited is heard by the Prophet (SAW), and he also replies.
However much we recite and collect them, this is an opportunity. May Allah increase our love! May he love us too, Insha Allah. Without his love there is benefit neither here in this world nor in the Next. Recite salawat at the beginning and the end of your supplications so that they may be accepted.
May Allah give it baraka, Insha Allah. May it be Allah’s help for Muslims and loss for disbelievers. May all of their malicious doings turn back on them, Insha Allah. May Allah help Muslims, and may our faith grow stronger, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
153.THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS HAPPPY Wednesday, 6 November 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.
Shukr to Allāh for gathering us together in this holy month. We are gathered for the honour and love of our Prophet. To say this brings benefit. The more we remember and make dhikr of our Prophet, the more benefit it gives us. Our benefit is great. This is not given to everyone. There are many people who say they are Muslim, knowing or unknowing, they are not aware of it. Sometimes going through life unaware is better than not showing respect to our Prophet on purpose. At any rate they are ignorant. They don't have anything.
But those people who knowingly don't respect our Prophet on purpose are unlucky. Allāh didn't predestine it for them. It is by the wisdom of Allāh His knowledge and wisdom. Mind is something Allāh gave to people. But mind has a limit too. And the power and wisdom of Allāh have no limit at all, [with Him] there can be no such thing as a limit. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, "Kun fa-yakūn" (36:82), and it happens. If you say "this is good, this is bad, this is not ok," then you interfere in Allāh's work. You think you are securing yourself, but though you show others as associating partners with Allāh, they have no such claim. You are claiming it yet you interfere in Allāh's, business.
Our Prophet was sent as a mercy to people. Who love him, people who respect him, are beloved servants of Allah. We should be thankful for this. Who don't respect him, people who don't love him, will regret their lack of adab and their actions. But regret will not help then. The biggest characteristic of unbelief is stubbornness, when you don't listen and say, "I know. This is right." You don't listen to anything. These people are famous for their stubbornness. They don't listen to advice and to what people say. Who love our Prophet are gentle. They love everyone – Awliyā’, Prophets and Sabahah. They love and appreciate them, they listen to advice. Insha Allah for the honour of this holy month, may our love and respect for our Prophet, increase . Because when we pray for the honour of our Prophet, it is accepted. Insha Allah it works.
Alhamdulilah we are gathering here for love of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and we are saying again, we are lucky, lucky people to celebrate, to be happy with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because this happiness from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
He gave us, and because very few people they are nowadays, they appreciate this. Even they are saying, "We are Muslim," they are not knowing. Some people they are not knowing because they are not practicing, so they even birth of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam they don't know which one, which month, which, when. And there is people they thinking they are knowing very good, and this people they are unlucky people because they are not happy to celebrate birth of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And this birth, when he come for this world, whole universe they was happy, they was celebrating.
So this people they is two kind of people they are not celebrate. One of them they don't know anything about religion. Another they thought they are knowing but they don't know anything about religion and not celebrate – even they are better than other one. Other one they are stubborn people. Stubborn people, this is the famous attribute for nonbeliever. They are stubborn. As much you speak to them, they are not listening, they are not accepting advice. Only what they know they are doing, and they prevent people to celebrate also.
But our order, Allāh's order, to praise Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to be happy with him. So any occasion to celebrate, to make it mentioning Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, make ṣalawāt for him, make charity for him, everything for his honour it will be, Allāh reward us, more and more and He will [be] happy with us. Who not happy with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam... shayṭān, he said once, Allāh send him to Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to speak truth. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam ask him many questions and he said, "Which one more you, most you hate him in from human being?" So he couldn't say any lie, he said "You" for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam. And these people who are not respecting, they are imitate shayṭān and at the end they will be regret and maybe, they cannot save their belief, their īmān in their last breath. Because shayṭān he will be there when people dying, and he cheat them even that time, to take them to Hell, to Jahannam. So who don't have belief, love for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, mostly their end it will be not good. Allāh make us to more love and respect for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and make this good habit for all of us, Insha Allah. Allāh make iṣlāḥ for people who are not respecting Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because they don't know all this what we have from his favour, from Prophet's sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam favour. The most favour to be love him and love Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
154.THE PROPHET IS THE HIGHEST EXAMPLE Friday, 8 November 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.
Shukr to Allāh we are gathering again on this beautiful day. It is holy Jum‘ah today and tomorrow is the Mawlid of our Prophet. Allāh gave this to us. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla writes thawāb for your every step, forgives your sins, and increases your rank.
What is the attribute of our Prophet? The attribute of our Prophet is described by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-innaka la‘alá khuluqin ‘aẓīm" (68:4). "Your attribute is the best of attributes."
People should learn adab, goodness, and every beauty from our Prophet. Every beauty comes from him. It never appeared otherwise from our Prophet. Our Prophet is a very big honour for us. To be from Ummah of our Prophet is the biggest honour. Even prophets... There are prophets who wished they were from the Ummah of our Prophet and were not prophets themselves. Some will be given this, like Sayyidunā Isa‘alayhi s- salām. When he descends at the end of times, he will be given the honour of being in the Ummah of our Prophet. This is a very big honour.
How does our Prophet deserve this big honour? How did he live? In order to teach us his adab, he says, "Just as a servant eats, I eat. As a servant sits, I sit like that." One of the biggest things our Prophet teaches us is humbleness. Living in palaces with gold, silver, and jewels all around is not appropriate for his glory. He didn't care about this. And like the poorest person, he ate whatever he found; like a slave to whom his master gives as he likes. And this is the beautiful manner of our Prophet. Allāh gave such favours to our Prophet. The whole Universe is his but our Prophet prefers to be a servant to Allāh. He doesn't want anything else.
With the love of Allāh, our Prophet shows us this way. Love Allāh, value Allāh. Value your faith, don't value dunyā. All ḥadīth and the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n express this. But people neither hear nor see whereas every day when you look, several people pass away to Akhirah around you. No one remains. Yet mankind does not think. Our Prophet
says, "All I want is my Ummah. To save them from Hell and take them to Paradise." That is the purpose of our Prophet, not the things of this world. And against him, there is shayṭān who cheats people and wishes all evil for them. People are leaving our Prophet to follow shaytan.
It is the End Times now. It is worse in End Times. Before, if there was something in one country, it wouldn't spread to another country. Now everywhere in the world, every evil, every dirtiness is reaching. It is the end of times. But living in this time is the w

follow them our end will be sad. May Allāh let us see and follow the truth, Insha Allah.
Human beings they are looking for reality. They are saying, "We are searching our, what is purpose for our life, for our being here." This is important thing and it is appear everywhere. But people they are not seeing reality. Even what they are seeing, they're... by their imagination they are seeing right thing – wrong thing. Even they saw white, they said, "This is dark, this is black." And they believe this. This is common human
being like this. They are... is difficult for common people to understand what they are seeing. They are seeing something and it's reality, but say, "See, no this not black, it's white. This is tall, no this short. This is good, no this bad." Like this. They don't, they are...
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, "Wa-in tuṭi‘ akthara man fi l-arḍi yuḍillūka ‘an sabīli Llāh" (6:116). If you accept what they are saying, you will be lose your way, you will be out of right way and you be seeing wrong thing.
You are like imagination. Your imagination, you see this, but they said, "No, no this. You are wrong. This is not dog, this is lion. This is not chair, this is car." Like this example for this people. Most of people like this. For this Prophet, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam... and when they are seeing right they said, "No this is wrong, you're wrong way, your way."
For this Prophet, sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, making du‘ā’: "Allāhumma arina l-ḥaqqa ḥaqqaw wa-rzuqna t-tibā‘ah" – "O our Lord, let us to see reality and to accept this, and to follow this."
Because this is our main purpose for human being to follow right, not wrong thing. And Prophet, it is very important, is short ḥadīth, talk of Prophet, sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, but it is very – all they are very important – but this also very, very important: to accept truth and to follow this truth. Not only, "O we accept this." Okay, but you must follow. Even you accept, is also a little bit better than to be like drunk, like taking drug, imagining wrong thing to be right thing. You are now, you are awake and you are knowing truth and what else? To follow this. This is very important.
Allāh help us to see truth, not to be running whole life after nothing, after imagination, after bad thing and we are tiring ourself, we are killing ourself after nothing and, even in the end, it will be very bad for us. Allāh keep us with the truth and following truth, Insha Allah, and accept. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
148.CHARITY UNTIL QIYAMAH Thursday, 3 October 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, "Inna l-arḍa liLlāhi yūrithuhā man yashā’u min ‘ibādihi wa-l- ‘āqibatu lil-muttaqīn" (7:128). This world belongs to Allāh. The whole universe belongs to Allāh. It passes as inheritance amongst His servants, from one person to another. It passes as inheritance or something else. What is important is that everyone is Allāh's servant. Either rebellious or pious, they are all Allāh's servants. And Allāh gave this world for everyone. Everyone lives in it. Its benefit in the end will go to those who fear Allāh and respect Allah and the rest will receive no benefit from it. They can have the whole world, it will be useless.
This country is in the hands of these people. And that is by the will of Allāh. Sometimes they have it, sometimes others do. Sometimes it goes to good ones, sometimes to bad ones. Earth won't go to anyone. People will come after you. There were people before you too. Al- mulku liLlāh – dominion is Allāh's. Everlasting is Allāh. Therefore, we should care about what is next, not this world. We should look after what comes afterwards. Of course, while we are in this world, we need to do as much charity as we can. It will bring benefit to people. It will be useful. Our grandfathers built mosques and opened madrasas, they made foundations. These exist until today. No matter what is lost, there are still the waqf properties. These are the signs of Islām: mosques, dergahs, zāwiyahs, inns and ḥammāms. All of them are the beautiful work of those beautiful people. These are the remainders from them which are left on Earth. And there is even more in Ākhirah.
There are some unfortunate people, they have all the opportunities but they don't leave anything for Akhirah. They don't leave any good works and they don't take anything either. Therefore, may Allāh make us from the giving ones. May our Akhirah be prosperous, Insha Allah. May our dunyā and Akhirah be prosperous, Insha Allah.
Allāh Azza wa-Jalla saying, "Inna l-arḍa liLlāh, yūrithuhā man yashā’u min ibādihi wa- l- āqibatu lil-muttaqīn" (7:128). This meaning, whole this earth for His servants. For Allāh, all human being everything - servants for Allal. If he is believer or not believer, he accept, not accept, he praying, not praying, nobody can say, "I am not servant for
Allāh “. As much you can say, but it is no any thing, any benefit for... you cannot change the reality. And this earth, whole universe for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, but for us, for this... son of Adam, human beings who are living in this earth now, this earth for all of them. Allāh making inherited from one to one or to people coming, other people taking, country taking that country, other country, people they take. All this, they are servant for Allāh.
And Allāh give for everybody. Not saying, "You are believer, I will give you. You are not believer, We are not give you." No. Allāh gives, not looking for everyone, every human being can have anything. This is because place for test, test place. So who... The end for believer, for [those who] they are aware from Allāh, accept what Allāh saying, this is end, good end for them. For other people not good end, it is terrible. But for believer... Allāh, give chance for everybody to be believer, to make charity, to be good people. But some many of them, most of them, they are not looking for this. They are looking only for themselves, to pleasure themselves but it is also they cannot do this.
So what Allāh Azza wa-Jalla give for believer to be give, make this earth better and better and to not looking for this, to encourage them to make for their next life, to make, accept Allāh's order, and after this make charity, make like waqf or something, building mosque, like old time of Khalīfah. There was [at the] the end of Khalīfah time, Ottoman Khalīfah time, they was very respectful for charity. They make charity. "We give this building for sake of Allāh until Qiyāmah." So this is registered and acceptable and everywhere. But after Khalīfah, they was, they destroying this. The most of them they sell it, they stole it, they do. But still, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, many of this waqf standing against non-believer. Even in Quds, we was there, all this around, there is charity waqf. Nobody can force people to go out from this house. Everywhere here also.
Half of our island also waqf, charity. If they was making this charity and Allāh, and when, until Qiyāmah, for their intention, reward them for this. Even people they stole it, even they demolish it, and even they broke it, everything what the niyyat, intention for Qiyāmah, Allāh is Generous, He not disappoint these people and until Qiyāmah He reward them. This is what meaning, "Al-‘āqibatu lil-muttaqīn" (7:128). The end [is] good for believer who [is] aware from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh make us to be with this people, to be make charity. Because many people they have everything, maybe if they live 10.000 years they will be rich but they not, cannot give for their Ākhirah and all this money they will leave and they will go without make any charity, any benefit for themself, only this burden on them. Allāh make us to not be like this people, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
149.A DOOR TO HEAVEN Friday, 4 October 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
There are some places, some people and some times to which Allāh, has given barakah. Thanks to them, people's stations are raised and they come closer to Allāh. Of course, Allāh, the top of them comes our Prophet ‘alayhi ṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-salām. Through him gives mercy to people, gives barakah. Those following him are honoured. And there are times like Jum‘ah, Ramaḍān, three holy months and ‘Īd. These are holy times. During these times Allāh writes a hundred times the thawāb for people. People's ranks increase. And there are places, the most important of which are Makkah, Madīnah, and Quds (Jerusalem), Baytu l-Maqdis.
Shukr to Allāh, we went to Makkah and Madīnah Munawwarah a couple of times. But it's our first time going to Jerusalem. It is a place of spiritual beauty, a wonderful place. It feeds people's souls.
People are running after material things. There, it is spiritual. It is a place chosen by Allāh. For thousands of years that place is where people have gathered and worshipped, where prophets were present. Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām and Sayyidunā Sulaymān, Sayyidunā Ya‘qūb and Isḥāq, Zakarīyā ‘alayhi s-salām, Yahya ‘alayhi s-salām, Isa ‘alayhi s-salām. Hundreds of prophets lived there. And it is praised in the Qur’ān. Our Prophet was present there and all prophets, 124 thousand prophets stood behind him and prayed. It is such a beautiful spiritual place. Allāh let us go there.
Also, contrary to those people who claim there is no spirituality, no sacredness attributed to anybody or any place, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla praises it right in the middle of the Qur’ān. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Subḥāna lladhī asrá bi-‘abdihi laylam mina l-masjidi l- ḥarām, ila l-masjidi l-aqṣa lladhī bārakna ḥawlah" (17:1). To Masjidu l-Aqṣá, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made our Prophet complete his Night Journey because it is a blessed place, and its surroundings are blessed. But when our Prophet went there, it was just a hill without anything on it. No mosque was apparent. It was all in ruins. They built it afterwards. Prophets tell about the future, and our Prophet told about that place and indicated its holiness. It is a sacred place. It is called Baytu l-Maqdis meaning a sacred place. All religions...
There is only one religion, shukr to Allāh. Our Prophet's religion of Islām is the summary of them. They all arrive at the same place. There are those who don't accept and try to resist, but they are there also because of the spirituality present there. And their presence is nothing, as it is open for everyone till the appearance of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.
Sayyidunā ‘Umar raḍiya Llāhu ‘anhu decreed that everyone can practice their religion and worship as they like. They have this permission from Sayyidunā ‘Umar. Therefore, when we go there, we should not go for dunyā, but for Ākhirah. When you go there, pray, give ṣadaqāh, and do charity in that beautiful place, for each one gets 500 times the reward. One prayer there is like praying 500 prayers elsewhere.
Thank Allāh, it was meant for us. It happened like a beautiful dream. May Allāh grant it to those who didn't go too. A person feels detached from this world. There is this and that, you did it or not, it is not important. Important is our intention. Our Prophet said we should visit three mosques. "Masjidu l-Ḥarām, my mosque," he says, "and visit Masjidu l- Aqṣá," suggests our Prophet. So based on this, our intention is that. If we want to go there for worldly matters, no need to go then. There are other places for that. But there is no place on earth like this. Therefore, who can go, Insha Allah, it is advised to do so. May Allāh, let everyone go, Insha Allah.
There is place, there is blessed people, blessed times, blessed holy places – Allāh, by his He will show us this. His will, we cannot say, "Why You make this good, this not? This holy, this not? Holy... not?" No. Allāh He, He not in need to ask you. Just you must follow what Allāh He praise him and make him the highest one, you must be follow him, you must be with him. And these people, they are prophets and especially from prophets our Prophet, sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidunā Muḥammad sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, the most praised one. If you love him and you follow him, you will be with him, you will be happy at the end. And he is happy with who happy with him and also making ṣalawāt for him," said Prophet sallá I", also making salawāt for him, said Prophet, Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Also there is holy times, blessed times like Friday, blessed day and this given for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And like Idu l-Adha, ‘Īdu l-Fitr, also and like three holy months. Also like Ashūrā, like Muḥarram, 10th of Muḥarram, and many days there is blessed days also – times. This also Allāh make for people to get blessed, to get barakah, to get benefit, spiritual benefit for them. And it's open for everybody, but very few people they are interested about this. And there is holy place which Allāh show people. First one Ka‘bah, Makkah al- Mukarramah, Masjidu l-Ḥarām, and Masjid of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Madīnah Munawwarah, and the third one Masjidu l-Aqsa, Quds, Jerusalem.
Alhamdulilah we many times we have been in Makkah Mukarramah, Madīnah Munawwarah we visit, but this nearly first time we are visiting Quds, Baytu l-Maqdis, which it is blessed place, area which it is mentioned in the middle of Qur’ān by Sūratu l- Isrā’: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Subhāna lladhī asrá bi-‘abdihi laylam mina l-masjidi l-ḥarāmi ilal-masjidi l-aqṣa lladhī bārakna ḥawlah" (17:1). Who Allāh جل جالله make praising and saying Himself, and saying, "We make our servant, Prophet, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to make journey from Makkah Mukarramah to Baytu l-Maqdis, Quds, Masjidu l-Aqṣá nighttime. And it was that time nearly nothing there, but there is blessed place and it is all this area blessed. Because when Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam arrived there he was imām for whole prophets, 124,000 prophets. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was imām and they was following him.
Alhamdulilah we see this area also and we prayed two raka‘āt there. So this is very spiritual place. Since thousands of years it is like this, it is blessed and it is door for Heaven. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he was going to Heaven through this place. And it is also proof for these people who are not accepting karāmah, not accepting mu‘jizah, miracle. Allāh mentioned this and everything in this area showing different miracle, different thing, and, Alhamdulilah, the people who coming visiting their local people, whole they are Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jamā‘ah and they are 100% like ṭarīqah people accepting, happy with people who are coming for them also.
And they have, Allāh give them this, they have suffering from something, Allāh will reward them for everything, Allāh not leaving anything without reward. And they are also every time they get for each thing doing, 500 times more than other place. If you pray one prayer here, Allāh reward one for one prayer you pray, one prayer they get 500 times more. And it is also for other people like Christians, Jewish.
Also this showing the tolerance of Islām and justice of Islām. Especially the justice of Sayyidunā ‘Umar ibnu l-Khaṭṭāb. When he they come, they show him, see him coming, he was taking walking and holding from his what? ...mule, not horse, it was not horse. But on this top of this animal there was his slave and he was carrying, and when he saw they thought his – but they know – this priest saw, "This is ‘Umar." And they ask him to pray in this... the biggest church for them. He said, "No, if I pray here it will be mosque so it will be I will write for you declaration everything, you are in safe here, nobody touch your church, nobody force you to be change your religion, nobody can touch your even cross, everything it must be like this." It was writing like this until end of time. So everything perfect as what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam time and Sahabah time. Everything Alhamdulilah very strong power of spiritual power there. For this whole people coming through around the world there. And we have good time, it is like very sweet dream it was coming, going fast this time. We have to visit again and for people who not visit we also advise them if they can go, it is really good journey. It's also sunnah because Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he was there what Prophet sallá Llāhu
‘alayhi wa-sallam doing journey there, we also we journey for Quds, for Masjidu l-Aqṣá, Insha Allah. For people around, Alhamdulilah, they are all happy with people and this people who not like miracle, not like this thing, they not like to come there. Only who respect Prophet, respect Ṣaḥābah, respect Awliyā’u Llāh they're there. Very few from other people who not like this. But Allāh keep them away, send good people there, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
150.NO OUTCOME IS WORTHLESS Sunday, 6 October 2019
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The Prophet (saw ) says “I’m amazed at the state of the Muslim. Every affair of his is good.” When provision (ni’ma) comes, Allah giving him good health and wealth, if he gives thanks, he wins [again], and he gets more. On the contrary, if it was a misfortune, a calamity, or poverty that comes, but if he then is patient, he [also] earns. In other words, there is never a loss in a Muslim’s affairs.
The important thing is to give thanks and praise. If you give thanks, Allah will be pleased with you. There is no way in this world that everything will be good for a man. There are things that you think are good for yourself, and there are things that are not good. But for a Muslim, for the people who believe, both are good the Prophet (SAW) says.
People have forgotten this, and as soon as something happens, they rebel. Rebelling is not a good thing. It does not bring any good, because then your suffering is in vain. If you were to do the opposite, however, and be thankful out of trust in Allah, He would give you a lot more. The Prophet (SAW) says, “People in next life will wish they had lived all their life in such a manner.”
Thanks be to Allah! Thanks for all the provisions. He says, “Alhamdulilahi ‘alā kulli ḥāl!” Thanks for everything! Thanks be to Allah! May Allah keep us from lacking in faith. There are satans who are having people go off the path. Gradually rebelling can in the end turn into rebelling against Allah. May Allah protect from such!
Therefore, a man benefits in the Next Life from all if he says, “It all comes from Allah. Thanks be to Allah!”
May Allah not give us a load that we may not be able to carry. May He load us with his blessed provisions (ni‘ma), Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
151.QURAN AND MEMORIZATION Monday, 7 October 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 nunazzilu min al-Qurāni mā huya shifā’un wa- raḥmah.’” (Qur’ān 17:82)
The Glorious Quran is a barakah, a healing (shifa) and a barakah for all. All goodness is in it. Whether one understands it or not, one receives merits. In any case, it is not possible for one to understand it. What is important is that it is the word of Allah, His timeless word. It is transmitted to us by the Prophet’s (SAW) lips. Its barakah is not found anywhere else, so those who are able should read it, and those who do not have it memorized can read it, too. In places we visit, people wish to raise children as ḥuffāẓ [i.e., those who have memorized the Quran], most succeed too, blessed ones. Of course hafizship is not an easy thing [to achieve], but later after completion, it is most important that one protect what he has memorized. So after completion, one has to follow up. If we plant something like a sapling or a vegetable, and say, “I planted this,” then do not take care of it, nothing becomes of it. It dries away.
Hafizship is harder than this, so when you have a child memorize the Quran, you must then have him follow up. If you cannot do this, there is no obligation. The obligation is not to forget what is learnt. This is not properly understood by the people but this is a sin: do not load on more than necessary. The most important thing is to be consistent. If you load up a truckful, but then cannot make a short trip, this is wrong. A small portion at a time, take what you are capable of carrying, and then continue so that is carries on for life.
May Allah give strength to these students who memorized the Quran. May they continue, Insha Allah. It is a great ni‘mah for those who are capable of it. May Allah accept it. Children are innocent; may they have no sins, insha’Allah. Even if they forget, the important thing is that they put effort into it and continue, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
152.THE MONTH OF RABI‘-UL-AWWAL Wednesday, 30 October 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.
Thanks be to Allah. With the provision of Allah it happened to be a pleasant journey with beautiful people, and the ikhwan were pleased, also. At the end of the journey we entered Rabī‘u l-Awwal together, and this too was a gift from Allah. After visiting the Prophet’s (SAW) maqam, entering Rabī‘u l-Awwal was our destiny. Thanks be to Allah.
Rabī‘u l-Awwal is the Prophet’s (SAW) birth month. It is a beautiful month. Safar is a heavy month. It is in the wisdom of Allah that after difficulty comes ease.
It says “Fa inna ma’a l-‘usri yusra(n)” (Qur’ān 94:5). Safar is a difficult month, and after it we entered this beautiful month of the Prophet (SAW). These great generosities, spiritual and material,... Allah ‘azza wa jalla bestows on our Prophet (SAW), and to the one who remembers him, to those who love him. Allah ‘azza wa jalla is the most generous. For the honor of the Holy Prophet (SAW), He grants gifts to the servant He loves. So, during this month recite salawat at least three hundred times daily. It can be increased to a thousand or more, but it should not be less than three hundred, because love of the Prophet (SAW) increases only through salawat. Its benefits happen now or later. Each salawat recited is heard by the Prophet (SAW), and he also replies.
However much we recite and collect them, this is an opportunity. May Allah increase our love! May he love us too, Insha Allah. Without his love there is benefit neither here in this world nor in the Next. Recite salawat at the beginning and the end of your supplications so that they may be accepted.
May Allah give it baraka, Insha Allah. May it be Allah’s help for Muslims and loss for disbelievers. May all of their malicious doings turn back on them, Insha Allah. May Allah help Muslims, and may our faith grow stronger, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
153.THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS HAPPPY Wednesday, 6 November 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.

Shukr to Allāh for gathering us together in this holy month. We are gathered for the honour and love of our Prophet. To say this brings benefit. The more we remember and make dhikr of our Prophet, the more benefit it gives us. Our benefit is great. This is not given to everyone. There are many people who say they are Muslim, knowing or unknowing, they are not aware of it. Sometimes going through life unaware is better than not showing respect to our Prophet on purpose. At any rate they are ignorant. They don't have anything.
But those people who knowingly don't respect our Prophet on purpose are unlucky. Allāh didn't predestine it for them. It is by the wisdom of Allāh His knowledge and wisdom. Mind is something Allāh gave to people. But mind has a limit too. And the power and wisdom of Allāh have no limit at all, [with Him] there can be no such thing as a limit. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, "Kun fa-yakūn" (36:82), and it happens. If you say "this is good, this is bad, this is not ok," then you interfere in Allāh's work. You think you are securing yourself, but though you show others as associating partners with Allāh, they have no such claim. You are claiming it yet you interfere in Allāh's, business.
Our Prophet was sent as a mercy to people. Who love him, people who respect him, are beloved servants of Allah. We should be thankful for this. Who don't respect him, people who don't love him, will regret their lack of adab and their actions. But regret will not help then. The biggest characteristic of unbelief is stubbornness, when you don't listen and say, "I know. This is right." You don't listen to anything. These people are famous for their stubbornness. They don't listen to advice and to what people say. Who love our Prophet are gentle. They love everyone – Awliyā’, Prophets and Sabahah. They love and appreciate them, they listen to advice. Insha Allah for the honour of this holy month, may our love and respect for our Prophet, increase . Because when we pray for the honour of our Prophet, it is accepted. Insha Allah it works.
Alhamdulilah we are gathering here for love of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and we are saying again, we are lucky, lucky people to celebrate, to be happy with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because this happiness from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
He gave us, and because very few people they are nowadays, they appreciate this. Even they are saying, "We are Muslim," they are not knowing. Some people they are not knowing because they are not practicing, so they even birth of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam they don't know which one, which month, which, when. And there is people they thinking they are knowing very good, and this people they are unlucky people because they are not happy to celebrate birth of Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And this birth, when he come for this world, whole universe they was happy, they was celebrating.
So this people they is two kind of people they are not celebrate. One of them they don't know anything about religion. Another they thought they are knowing but they don't know anything about religion and not celebrate – even they are better than other one. Other one they are stubborn people. Stubborn people, this is the famous attribute for nonbeliever. They are stubborn. As much you speak to them, they are not listening, they are not accepting advice. Only what they know they are doing, and they prevent people to celebrate also.
But our order, Allāh's order, to praise Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, to be happy with him. So any occasion to celebrate, to make it mentioning Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, make ṣalawāt for him, make charity for him, everything for his honour it will be, Allāh reward us, more and more and He will [be] happy with us. Who not happy with Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam... shayṭān, he said once, Allāh send him to Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to speak truth. Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam ask him many questions and he said, "Which one more you, most you hate him in from human being?" So he couldn't say any lie, he said "You" for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam. And these people who are not respecting, they are imitate shayṭān and at the end they will be regret and maybe, they cannot save their belief, their īmān in their last breath. Because shayṭān he will be there when people dying, and he cheat them even that time, to take them to Hell, to Jahannam. So who don't have belief, love for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, mostly their end it will be not good. Allāh make us to more love and respect for Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and make this good habit for all of us, Insha Allah. Allāh make iṣlāḥ for people who are not respecting Prophet sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because they don't know all this what we have from his favour, from Prophet's sallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam favour. The most favour to be love him and love Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
154.THE PROPHET IS THE HIGHEST EXAMPLE Friday, 8 November 2019

Shukr to Allāh we are gathering again on this beautiful day. It is holy Jum‘ah today and tomorrow is the Mawlid of our Prophet. Allāh gave this to us. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla writes thawāb for your every step, forgives your sins, and increases your rank.
What is the attribute of our Prophet? The attribute of our Prophet is described by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-innaka la‘alá khuluqin ‘aẓīm" (68:4). "Your attribute is the best of attributes."
People should learn adab, goodness, and every beauty from our Prophet. Every beauty comes from him. It never appeared otherwise from our Prophet. Our Prophet is a very big honour for us. To be from Ummah of our Prophet is the biggest honour. Even prophets... There are prophets who wished they were from the Ummah of our Prophet and were not prophets themselves. Some will be given this, like Sayyidunā Isa‘alayhi s- salām. When he descends at the end of times, he will be given the honour of being in the Ummah of our Prophet. This is a very big honour.
How does our Prophet deserve this big honour? How did he live? In order to teach us his adab, he says, "Just as a servant eats, I eat. As a servant sits, I sit like that." One of the biggest things our Prophet teaches us is humbleness. Living in palaces with gold, silver, and jewels all around is not appropriate for his glory. He didn't care about this. And like the poorest person, he ate whatever he found; like a slave to whom his master gives as he likes. And this is the beautiful manner of our Prophet. Allāh gave such favours to our Prophet. The whole Universe is his but our Prophet prefers to be a servant to Allāh. He doesn't want anything else.
With the love of Allāh, our Prophet shows us this way. Love Allāh, value Allāh. Value your faith, don't value dunyā. All ḥadīth and the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n express this. But people neither hear nor see whereas every day when you look, several people pass away to Akhirah around you. No one remains. Yet mankind does not think. Our Prophet
says, "All I want is my Ummah. To save them from Hell and take them to Paradise." That is the purpose of our Prophet, not the things of this world. And against him, there is shayṭān who cheats people and wishes all evil for them. People are leaving our Prophet to follow shaytan.
It is the End Times now. It is worse in End Times. Before, if there was something in one country, it wouldn't spread to another country. Now everywhere in the world, every evil, every dirtiness is reaching. It is the end of times. But living in this time is the w
