not. But the works of the hereafter are guaranteed.
Insha Allah, may Allah bless the person who built this place. May Allah continue his good deeds until the Day of Judgment. As we worship in this place, his rewards increase, his gain increases and he becomes happy. May Allah perpetuate it Insha Allah. May it continue until the Day of Judgment. May all the good deeds increase. May Allah increase such places and those who do good. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
138.HOPE FOR GOODNESS Sunday, 6 September 2020
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 Holy Prophet says: “Hope for good, you will find good.” Hope for goodness and you will find it. There is goodness behind everything. Everything you do should be looked at with goodness. If you hope for goodness, Allah will turn even the badness into goodness through His will. But if you look at everything in a bad way, it will be bad as well. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly think about goodness in every work; in every work, whether it is or it is not [good]. When that happens, a person will be comfortable and at peace. “This is Allah’s will. Allah has certainly willed us good. This job will turn out good. What we do will be good. Where we go is good. Where we come from is good. There is goodness in everything.” And so people will find goodness. Our Holy Prophet is, ‘The most truthful among the truthful’. Everything he says is the truth. We should say: “We believe and we confirm”, and do what he says. Subhan’Allah, Allah Azza wa Jalla sent our Holy Prophet as a mercy to people. If people want to live comfortably in this world and in the hereafter, they must follow our Holy Prophet’s way and do what he showed. If they do this, they will be comfortable in this world and happy in the hereafter. What is important is the hereafter. The real comfort and beauty are there. May Allah grant us all goodness Insha Allah. May Allah grant us to follow the way of our Holy Prophet firmly so that goodness comes to us Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
139.BEING CONSUMED Monday, 07 September 2020
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-in massahu sh-sharru faya’sun qanūṭ” (Qur’ān 41:49), says Allah ‘azza wa jalla. What is the meaning of this today? I think it just came out, now there is such a thing as burnout among people. What does exhausted mean? So he doesn't enjoy anything anymore, he is miserable, in a state of mind, he has no hope, nothing. This happens more with unfaithful, unbelieving people. Because he doesn't want anything anymore. He does not think of the Hereafter. There is no prayer, no supplication, nothing. They think the world is a paradise. When something happens, when there is a jolt, “I am over.” It feels like I am exhausted. He hurts himself. But in Islam, there is annihilation (fanā’) in the essence of Allah, there is annihilation of ourselves, not exhaustion. It is necessary to annihilate ourselves, not to exhaust ourselves. [Otherwise,] you are exhausted, finished—that is the difference.
For this reason, those who live for the world are exhausted, and fall into all kinds of troubles, because they have nothing in them that endures. They have no faith in anything. Their beliefs are in this world, in work, in power. Especially these days, this year, the whole world has been in trouble for those people. The world, however, is not a paradise. The world is a place of testing. Sometimes it happens to one person, sometimes it happens to the nation, and sometimes, as now, it happens to the whole world. You should not trust the world. You should trust Allah. If you connect to a firm place, you will be comfortable, and it will benefit you. Otherwise, one will suffer in vain and will not be of any use.
Turn to Allah so that we can annihilate our soul in Allah, and then I hope we can relax. May God protect us. Sometimes the same happens to people who believe. It rubs on us from them too, so we should right ourselves. There is Allah, and Allah does not change, does not disappear. He is eternal and everlasting. The world is not permanent. So may Allah protect us.
People should not fall into gloom and exhaustion, but should take shelter in Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
140.ORDER GOOD AND FORBID EVIL Tuesday, 8 September 2020
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. Tariqa is for Sohbah and for gathering good people. Tariqas are the ways that lead to our Holy Prophet. Tariqa means the way. It is for goodness and to guide people. It is a way disliked by shaytan. It is the way that Allah and our Holy Prophet love.
That’s why, our Holy Prophet says that in the end of times it will not be ‘enjoining M’aruf (good) and forbidding Munkar (evil)’, but the opposite will be happening.
This is the sign of the end times. They will order you not to do good but to do evil and commit sin. That’s why shaytan takes the opportunity. They attack Islam and the Tariqa by drooling like rabid dogs. They are trying to stop and ban Islam and Tariqa. Why are they banning them? They are forbidding good. It is one of the miracles of our Holy Prophet that in the end of times they will order evil and forbid good.
It is the same all over the world. The shaytan and his followers are using all kinds of means, all kinds of things to attack Islam, to attack Muslims. They are attacking the biggest forts of Islam, which are the Tariqas. Shari’ah and Tariqa go together, they do not go alone. Can a single winged bird fly alone? It cannot fly, it falls. That’s what they want too. They are trying to separate the Shari’ah from the Tariqa and then do as they wish. This is a blessing Allah has given us. Allah will protect it
insha’Allah, there is no need to worry. There is a goodness in everything insha’Allah. The more they attack, the more Allah will protect us. Our aim is to worship Allah sincerely, to serve Allah’s servants and to serve Islam. This is our intention. Allah gives man according to his intentions. If his intention is bad, his end will be bad. Therefore, the intention is very important. Most of the time, some people come and say; “We will do this, we will do that.”. We say, keep your intention in your heart clean. As long as it is clean, the rest is not important. But if your face is different, your heart is different and your intention is different, then we will not interfere. You will be slapped and you will be disgraced.
May Allah protect us from the evil of our ego. The Tariqa is actually to train the ego, not to pump the ego. The more the ego goes up, the more you should crush it. May Allah protect us. May we always be in service Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
141.HAKKANI Thursday, 10 September 2020
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, Allah states in the Holy Qur’an: ‘And say, Truth has come, and falsehood has perished. Indeed is falsehood ever bound to perish.’ When the truth comes, false does not remain, it ends. The truth is the word of Allah and the word of our Holy Prophet. Eventually, the truth will appear, even after years. What matters is the end. People are deceived by what is not right.
They follow it and they consent to injustice. The truth is the word of Allah, injustice is the work of shaytan.
Therefore, be with the truth and do not stray from the right way. The truth is beautiful. When everyone gets their right, everyone is comfortable and satisfied. But if you do not accept the truth, there will be no peace, no comfort and no blessing. Mankind is deceived. No matter how much he knows and reads, he can still be deceived. Actually, he is deceived more. When there is more arrogance, people get away from the truth.
Truth is the word of Allah. When it comes, others do not matter. Therefore, be with the truth so that even if the whole world is against you, it will not have any effect. But if you are with the unjust, you will not end well. Allah Azza wa Jalla says it clearly, but human beings follow their ego, shaytan and their own desire, which seem beautiful to them.
May Allah make us among those who are with the truth. Mawlana’s title was Hakkani, it means the defender of the truth. Insha Allah we are Hakkani until the end and we are with the truth.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
142.THE TRADE ON FRIDAY Friday, 11 September 2020
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.
Today is Friday; it is a holy day. It is our holiday insha’Allah. In the time of our Holy Prophet, there was no holiday like now; Friday is a holiday, Saturday is a holiday, Sunday is a holiday. There was no such thing as a holiday. Allah made all the day on Friday beautiful and blessed, but there is a time on Friday when trade is forbidden.
In honor of the day of Friday, there is a verse that says that buying and selling is a َ´ sin at the time of prayer. It is forbidden, do not do it. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of, Jumah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.’ (Qur’ān 62:09).
“When the adhan is called on Friday, go to Friday Prayer and stop trade. This is better for you”, says Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Just because he will earn two cents, he rejects all the blessings and becomes a rebel against Allah. That’s why, you can work all day on Friday, but you have to be patient for ten minutes or fifteen minutes regarding trade. The person who owns the shop should close it and write [a sign] that says “I am going to Friday Prayer”. There are many of such people. But those who do not know and say: “What is the use of this”, will be deprived of that thing and its blessings will go away.
Therefore, Friday has many virtues. There are many things to do on Friday. And this is one of them such that you should not be trading during the time of prayer. Friday Prayer is not Fard (obligatory) for women, but this trade order is also valid for them. It is for all Muslims, not only for men but also for women. Women should not go shopping during Friday Prayer. They should wait and go after that.
There is a blessing on Friday. There is the hour of response. There is the hour of response on Friday when Allah accepts the prayers. It is not clear when in 24 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly make Dua on Friday, especially those who have a need; we all have a need anyways. May it coincide with the hour of response.
May Allah give strength to our faith and blessings to our days. May Allah protect us, and guide Muslims Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
143.THE EGO IS A BIG ENEMY Saturday, 12 September 2020
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 beginning of the Friday Khutbah we say : We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our ego, and from our bad doings.” We say to Allah Azza wa Jalla, we seek refuge in You from the evil of our ego. Just as we seek refuge from the evil of shaytan, we also seek refuge from the evil of our ego. Because the ego is a big enemy. Just as shaytan is your enemy and it is clear that he is an enemy, your ego is also your enemy. The enemy wants to humiliate you and beat you. The ego is the same thing. That’s why we take refuge in Allah from it, we ask for help from Allah. It’s not an easy thing to do.
People who say, “I became a Hodjah. I became a scholar. I became this. I became that. Thousands of people follow me” and think that they are something are enlarging their egos. In the end, the ego throws the person to the ground, tramples on him and kicks him. The more you give way to your ego, the wilder it becomes, the more merciless it becomes. To be merciful to your ego is oppression to yourself. As a person enlarges his ego and listens to it, he oppresses himself. The more he obeys its orders, the worse the man becomes. So, if you say let’s have some mercy on the ego, it will directly ride over you.
Allah’s orders are clear. If you go beyond those orders and obey your ego, you will be at loss. There are limits, there are certain things to what a person can do within the orders of Allah and you have to follow them. The ego does not want them. But if you follow them, you will control
your ego, then you will rise. Otherwise, if you follow the orders of your ego, you will go lower.
It is that easy. It is not easy to implement but easy to explain. To be in control of your ego is a man’s job. The one who controls his ego is a man. The one who does not control his ego is not a man. May Allah protect us and may He help us.
You should not give ease to your ego until your last breath. Because, just like shaytan, even in your last breath it will try to take you out of this world in loss. We should be careful of this. Don’t let your ego deceive you by saying, “I am old. I have become this. I have become that.” The tricks of the ego are many. You should always be careful. May Allah help us. May Allah strengthen our faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
144.A DREAM YOU DIDN’T SEE Sunday, 13 September 2020
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 Holy Prophet says that people might think that some things have no harm to others but they are harmful. Our Holy Prophet states: “The person who claims to have seen a dream which he did not see is cursed.” Certainly everyone sees dreams, but it is a sin for anyone to claim that he saw a dream which he did not see. What’s the harm? Allah knows the harm.
People can also use dreams to get a benefit from everything. It has a wisdom. It is not easy to be cursed, it is bigger than sin. People claim, “We saw such a dream”, thinking that it is nothing [harmful]. They think that it won’t do any harm. However, there is a great harm in saying that.
That’s why our Holy Prophet forbade it. People who use dreams, use everything. The shaytan makes them use it. This is one of the reasons. One has to be careful of what he does and says. If it becomes a habit, it harms others. Just like showing something that did not happen as if it happened. Especially sometimes people say, “I saw our Holy Prophet in my dream”, but it turns out to be something that has nothing to do with that. People should be told this. These are things that some people don’t care about, but they do matter. Everything will be accounted for. Therefore, you need to pay attention to that too. This matter is not simple. We will be questioned for it. Apart from being questioned for it, a person’s sins increase from nothing.
You have to be careful of this. As our Holy Prophet said: “A person should either speak good or be silent.” So it is better to be silent. Don’t say you saw something you didn’t see. May Allah protect us. May Allah show us good dreams because dreams are divided in two: there are good dreams and there are bad dreams. Always interpret them as good so that they turn out good.
Just like when Yusuf ‘alayhi s-salam was in prison, he had two friends there. One of his prison friends told a dream that never existed. And when he interpreted it, it came out like that. He said, “I saw myself carrying bread on my head and birds were eating thereof.” But he did not see that dream, he just said that. That’s why when Yusuf ‘alayhi s-salam interpreted it, it came out like that. He said, “They will hang you, they will crucify you and the birds will eat from your head.” And this is exactly what happened.
Therefore, may Allah protect us. Especially if someone interpreted a dream that does not exist in a bad way, then it will be harmful for us. May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
145.ADAB Monday, 14 September 2020
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 first thing that the people of Tariqa will learn is Adab, good manners. It is to have Adab towards Allah, towards our Holy Prophet, towards the Mashayikh and towards people. The first thing the Tariqa will teach is Adab. A person who has no Adab should not say that he is in Tariqa. Adab towards Allah is to follow the commands of Allah as much as possible. And to seek forgiveness and repentance from him for what we cannot do, and not to do evil things.
Adab towards our Holy Prophet is to have love towards his companions and family, and not to say the slightest bad thing about them. They are loved ones of our Holy Prophet. If they speak against the ones he loves, Allah Azza wa Jalla will take care of them. It is not your duty. Our duty is to look at ourselves. We are responsible for our own actions. We forget what we did the day before or the month before. People are unaware of what is happening in the world. They try to judge and decide on what happened hundreds of years ago. That is also not Adab, it is bad manners.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not let us follow our ego. Because this is what comes from the ego and nothing else. What comes from the ego and shaytan is the opposite of Adab. To be with bad manners is their job. Allah is Aḥkamu l-Hākimīn, The Best of Judges. Allah is the One who judges. We are responsible for our own actions. We should ask for Allah’s forgiveness. We should leave the affairs of others to Allah. If everyone has Adab, it will be like a garden of flowers. And Muslims will not be
toys in anyone’s hands. May Allah help us. May we have Adab all the time Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
146.A PLACE OF TESTS Tuesday, 15 September 2020
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, Allah states in the Holy Qur’an: ‘Truly, Allah is Able to do all things.’ Everything is in the hands of Allah. Allah does as he wills. He gives to whomever he wants, and does not give to whomever he wants. He raises whomever he wants, and lowers whomever he wants. This is how it is. We did not come here according to our own will. It happened by the will of Allah. This is not a party, a republic or a democracy. So you cannot ask: “Why did this happen? Why aren’t my works successful?” Allah does what he wants. And what he does not want does not happen. You can try as much as you want.
This is a place of tests. This world is a place of tests. One should think about it thoroughly; understand, think and move, then he will feel comfortable. Otherwise, the one who keeps asking “Why?”, his whole life will be in turmoil. He will be useless, and his faith will be weak. Everything is a test from Allah. A person who is patient accordingly, will receive favors and rewards from Allah. Because there is nowhere else to go. You have no other opportunity. You have no other choice, you have no other chance; this is it. But people don’t understand this, they rebel and look for other solutions. A person who seeks a solution in other than Allah is always at loss and cannot find any peace, beauty or goodness. Even though he might look good from the outside, he is not as such on the inside. Therefore, Muslims in particular should not say that our affairs are not going well in terms of worldly affairs, health and business. Leave
yourself to Allah, He will do what he wants. You make an effort and if it happens, it happens. If it does not, you will be rewarded. Faith has benefits in this world before the hereafter. Faithful people are at ease. As faith weakens, there is restlessness. Because they do not believe in anything, they think that they will be saved and comfortable with their own efforts. Without faith, it does not happen. May Allah give us all true and strong faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
147.JUST A DREAM Wednesday, 16 September 2020
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.
La ilaha illallah Muhammadu Rasulullah. This is true wealth, this is true existence, nothing more. The world is like an imagination; the reality is Allah. There is no true reality other than Allah. Those with Allah win.
The world is a deception, a deception, nothing more. We hear now, "Men have such wealth, this much money, this much property, they have property ..." —all are temporary. How it slips from under your feet, and doesn't stop! The days, weeks, and months pass suddenly, and the beginning of the year is coming. You look at the new year, and the new year is old, finished, and a new one is coming. If you're going to keep what you've got, you need to consider something that is real.
You will be with Allah. You should always keep the remembrance of Allah in your heart; it is this that will give you benefit. You should remember and invoke “Allah” at every minute.
So the dhikr of the heart is important in the Naqshbandi Order. One can do it continuously, in all twenty-four hours of the day. It is possilbe while you are lying down, sleeping, standing up, or working; you are always with Allah. Otherwise, if you dive into the world and run after the world, you will not be able to catch up. If you say you have iman, if you accept Allah, you will be saved.
No, nothing helps if you don't. The Karuns and the Pharaohs could not
take with them their tons of gold, money, possessions, or property— nothing!
They said, “We took it [with us],” and they put all that in their graves for the hereafter, but people came and took it out. Even they themselves could not stay in the grave!
For each person, the important thing is to be with Allah. If you are with Allah, you will be saved. Nothing else can save you. Neither possessions not property can save you. May Allah give you faith. Insha’Allah, the dhikr will always be in our hearts. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
148.DUTIES OF THE MONTH OF SAFAR Thursday, 17 September 2020
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.
Today is the last day of muharrem a month has passed in our hijri calendar. last year also passed quickly 1441 passed and now we’re in 1442 last year strange things happened nobody was able to go to haj either those who were able to go don’t count the haj was shut off for people this year we shall see inshallah how it’s going to become how Allah wills it.
So, I hope this Safar month will pass comfortably. There is also a vazifeh for it, and the most important thing is sadaqah. Sadaqah is important, after that three Shahadahs and seventy Astaghfirullahs are to be recited, because it is necessary to ask forgiveness of Allah for what we knowingly or unknowingly used to do. God forgives and erases our sins, and when we wipe them away, we will not be punished. There is also seven times Surat ul-Fil. It should be read seven times a day. Sadaqah should be given, and as we already mentioned, three Shahadahs and seventy Astaghfirullahs. After that, there is no need to go here and there unnecessarily. This is important. These are easy things. Allah has shown ease in everything for us, and it will be easy, insha’Allah. I hope the month of Safar is beneficial to us and to His Ummah Muhammadiyah.
May Allah protect us and His Ummah Muhammadiyah from all kinds of misfortunes, evil, unseen accidents, jinns, magic and spells. And may He send us the Owner. As we said, last year passed with such and such, and we approach closer to the time of Sayyiduna al-Mahdi alaisalam and
Akhirah. Since we are living in the End Times, these issues are getting closer and closer. Things that have happened are things that seem so rare in human history.
Allah considers the situations we live in. Allah assigned them to us, and Insha Allah, He will reward us, and He will reward the patient. Nothing goes to waste for believers, but those who oppose Allah suffer and will not benefit. May Allah guide us and give strength to our faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
149.KNOWLEDGE IS TO KNOW ALLAH Friday, 18 September 2020
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, (Qur’ān 39:09). Allah states in the Holy Qur’an: ‘Say, “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?”’ Are those who know equal to those who do not know? Will they be at the same level? Never. What do they know? Knowledge.
What is knowledge? Knowledge is to know Allah, to believe in Allah. This doesn’t happen by reading a lot. There are plenty of those who do that and deny Him even more. This is not knowledge but ignorance, nothing else. Even for a small matter, they can read for years, take lessons, do this and that, but they deny Allah Azza wa Jalla all at once. They also make children deny Him.
This is not knowledge, this is ignorance. Allah Azza wa Jalla describes their state in two words; are those who know equal to those who do not know? No. Those who know are the chosen ones, the most acceptable ones and the highest ones, firstly in the sight of Allah and then among people. Those who do not know are ignorant. Those who teach ignorance are the lowest, the inferior and the unacceptable ones.
The more you acknowledge Allah, the higher you rise. The more you deny Him, the lower you become, the lower you fall and the more worthless you become. Allah is great. Be with Allah. Do not be with those who think they are great. Those people are deceiving themselves, nothing
else. They deceive unfortunate people like them. Those who follow them will be of low level like them, and will not be accepted.
Let them say that they are such and such as much as they want. When they have no value in the sight of Allah, it is the same in the sight of people. Sometimes there may be people who claim that they are such and such on the outside, but it has no benefit. In the sight of people who see the truth, people who know the truth, they have no value and no worth.
The value is to be with those who know and recognize Allah. May Allah make us one of them Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
150.USE THIS WORLD FOR THE HEREAFTER Saturday, 19 September 2020
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.

not. But the works of the hereafter are guaranteed.
Insha Allah, may Allah bless the person who built this place. May Allah continue his good deeds until the Day of Judgment. As we worship in this place, his rewards increase, his gain increases and he becomes happy. May Allah perpetuate it Insha Allah. May it continue until the Day of Judgment. May all the good deeds increase. May Allah increase such places and those who do good. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
138.HOPE FOR GOODNESS Sunday, 6 September 2020
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 Holy Prophet says: “Hope for good, you will find good.” Hope for goodness and you will find it. There is goodness behind everything. Everything you do should be looked at with goodness. If you hope for goodness, Allah will turn even the badness into goodness through His will. But if you look at everything in a bad way, it will be bad as well. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly think about goodness in every work; in every work, whether it is or it is not [good]. When that happens, a person will be comfortable and at peace. “This is Allah’s will. Allah has certainly willed us good. This job will turn out good. What we do will be good. Where we go is good. Where we come from is good. There is goodness in everything.” And so people will find goodness. Our Holy Prophet is, ‘The most truthful among the truthful’. Everything he says is the truth. We should say: “We believe and we confirm”, and do what he says. Subhan’Allah, Allah Azza wa Jalla sent our Holy Prophet as a mercy to people. If people want to live comfortably in this world and in the hereafter, they must follow our Holy Prophet’s way and do what he showed. If they do this, they will be comfortable in this world and happy in the hereafter. What is important is the hereafter. The real comfort and beauty are there. May Allah grant us all goodness Insha Allah. May Allah grant us to follow the way of our Holy Prophet firmly so that goodness comes to us Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
139.BEING CONSUMED Monday, 07 September 2020
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-in massahu sh-sharru faya’sun qanūṭ” (Qur’ān 41:49), says Allah ‘azza wa jalla. What is the meaning of this today? I think it just came out, now there is such a thing as burnout among people. What does exhausted mean? So he doesn't enjoy anything anymore, he is miserable, in a state of mind, he has no hope, nothing. This happens more with unfaithful, unbelieving people. Because he doesn't want anything anymore. He does not think of the Hereafter. There is no prayer, no supplication, nothing. They think the world is a paradise. When something happens, when there is a jolt, “I am over.” It feels like I am exhausted. He hurts himself. But in Islam, there is annihilation (fanā’) in the essence of Allah, there is annihilation of ourselves, not exhaustion. It is necessary to annihilate ourselves, not to exhaust ourselves. [Otherwise,] you are exhausted, finished—that is the difference.
For this reason, those who live for the world are exhausted, and fall into all kinds of troubles, because they have nothing in them that endures. They have no faith in anything. Their beliefs are in this world, in work, in power. Especially these days, this year, the whole world has been in trouble for those people. The world, however, is not a paradise. The world is a place of testing. Sometimes it happens to one person, sometimes it happens to the nation, and sometimes, as now, it happens to the whole world. You should not trust the world. You should trust Allah. If you connect to a firm place, you will be comfortable, and it will benefit you. Otherwise, one will suffer in vain and will not be of any use.
Turn to Allah so that we can annihilate our soul in Allah, and then I hope we can relax. May God protect us. Sometimes the same happens to people who believe. It rubs on us from them too, so we should right ourselves. There is Allah, and Allah does not change, does not disappear. He is eternal and everlasting. The world is not permanent. So may Allah protect us.
People should not fall into gloom and exhaustion, but should take shelter in Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
140.ORDER GOOD AND FORBID EVIL Tuesday, 8 September 2020
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. Tariqa is for Sohbah and for gathering good people. Tariqas are the ways that lead to our Holy Prophet. Tariqa means the way. It is for goodness and to guide people. It is a way disliked by shaytan. It is the way that Allah and our Holy Prophet love.
That’s why, our Holy Prophet says that in the end of times it will not be ‘enjoining M’aruf (good) and forbidding Munkar (evil)’, but the opposite will be happening.
This is the sign of the end times. They will order you not to do good but to do evil and commit sin. That’s why shaytan takes the opportunity. They attack Islam and the Tariqa by drooling like rabid dogs. They are trying to stop and ban Islam and Tariqa. Why are they banning them? They are forbidding good. It is one of the miracles of our Holy Prophet that in the end of times they will order evil and forbid good.
It is the same all over the world. The shaytan and his followers are using all kinds of means, all kinds of things to attack Islam, to attack Muslims. They are attacking the biggest forts of Islam, which are the Tariqas. Shari’ah and Tariqa go together, they do not go alone. Can a single winged bird fly alone? It cannot fly, it falls. That’s what they want too. They are trying to separate the Shari’ah from the Tariqa and then do as they wish. This is a blessing Allah has given us. Allah will protect it
insha’Allah, there is no need to worry. There is a goodness in everything insha’Allah. The more they attack, the more Allah will protect us. Our aim is to worship Allah sincerely, to serve Allah’s servants and to serve Islam. This is our intention. Allah gives man according to his intentions. If his intention is bad, his end will be bad. Therefore, the intention is very important. Most of the time, some people come and say; “We will do this, we will do that.”. We say, keep your intention in your heart clean. As long as it is clean, the rest is not important. But if your face is different, your heart is different and your intention is different, then we will not interfere. You will be slapped and you will be disgraced.
May Allah protect us from the evil of our ego. The Tariqa is actually to train the ego, not to pump the ego. The more the ego goes up, the more you should crush it. May Allah protect us. May we always be in service Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
141.HAKKANI Thursday, 10 September 2020
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, Allah states in the Holy Qur’an: ‘And say, Truth has come, and falsehood has perished. Indeed is falsehood ever bound to perish.’ When the truth comes, false does not remain, it ends. The truth is the word of Allah and the word of our Holy Prophet. Eventually, the truth will appear, even after years. What matters is the end. People are deceived by what is not right.
They follow it and they consent to injustice. The truth is the word of Allah, injustice is the work of shaytan.
Therefore, be with the truth and do not stray from the right way. The truth is beautiful. When everyone gets their right, everyone is comfortable and satisfied. But if you do not accept the truth, there will be no peace, no comfort and no blessing. Mankind is deceived. No matter how much he knows and reads, he can still be deceived. Actually, he is deceived more. When there is more arrogance, people get away from the truth.
Truth is the word of Allah. When it comes, others do not matter. Therefore, be with the truth so that even if the whole world is against you, it will not have any effect. But if you are with the unjust, you will not end well. Allah Azza wa Jalla says it clearly, but human beings follow their ego, shaytan and their own desire, which seem beautiful to them.
May Allah make us among those who are with the truth. Mawlana’s title was Hakkani, it means the defender of the truth. Insha Allah we are Hakkani until the end and we are with the truth.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
142.THE TRADE ON FRIDAY Friday, 11 September 2020
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.
Today is Friday; it is a holy day. It is our holiday insha’Allah. In the time of our Holy Prophet, there was no holiday like now; Friday is a holiday, Saturday is a holiday, Sunday is a holiday. There was no such thing as a holiday. Allah made all the day on Friday beautiful and blessed, but there is a time on Friday when trade is forbidden.
In honor of the day of Friday, there is a verse that says that buying and selling is a َ´ sin at the time of prayer. It is forbidden, do not do it. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of, Jumah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.’ (Qur’ān 62:09).
“When the adhan is called on Friday, go to Friday Prayer and stop trade. This is better for you”, says Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Just because he will earn two cents, he rejects all the blessings and becomes a rebel against Allah. That’s why, you can work all day on Friday, but you have to be patient for ten minutes or fifteen minutes regarding trade. The person who owns the shop should close it and write [a sign] that says “I am going to Friday Prayer”. There are many of such people. But those who do not know and say: “What is the use of this”, will be deprived of that thing and its blessings will go away.
Therefore, Friday has many virtues. There are many things to do on Friday. And this is one of them such that you should not be trading during the time of prayer. Friday Prayer is not Fard (obligatory) for women, but this trade order is also valid for them. It is for all Muslims, not only for men but also for women. Women should not go shopping during Friday Prayer. They should wait and go after that.
There is a blessing on Friday. There is the hour of response. There is the hour of response on Friday when Allah accepts the prayers. It is not clear when in 24 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly make Dua on Friday, especially those who have a need; we all have a need anyways. May it coincide with the hour of response.
May Allah give strength to our faith and blessings to our days. May Allah protect us, and guide Muslims Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
143.THE EGO IS A BIG ENEMY Saturday, 12 September 2020
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 beginning of the Friday Khutbah we say : We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our ego, and from our bad doings.” We say to Allah Azza wa Jalla, we seek refuge in You from the evil of our ego. Just as we seek refuge from the evil of shaytan, we also seek refuge from the evil of our ego. Because the ego is a big enemy. Just as shaytan is your enemy and it is clear that he is an enemy, your ego is also your enemy. The enemy wants to humiliate you and beat you. The ego is the same thing. That’s why we take refuge in Allah from it, we ask for help from Allah. It’s not an easy thing to do.
People who say, “I became a Hodjah. I became a scholar. I became this. I became that. Thousands of people follow me” and think that they are something are enlarging their egos. In the end, the ego throws the person to the ground, tramples on him and kicks him. The more you give way to your ego, the wilder it becomes, the more merciless it becomes. To be merciful to your ego is oppression to yourself. As a person enlarges his ego and listens to it, he oppresses himself. The more he obeys its orders, the worse the man becomes. So, if you say let’s have some mercy on the ego, it will directly ride over you.
Allah’s orders are clear. If you go beyond those orders and obey your ego, you will be at loss. There are limits, there are certain things to what a person can do within the orders of Allah and you have to follow them. The ego does not want them. But if you follow them, you will control
your ego, then you will rise. Otherwise, if you follow the orders of your ego, you will go lower.
It is that easy. It is not easy to implement but easy to explain. To be in control of your ego is a man’s job. The one who controls his ego is a man. The one who does not control his ego is not a man. May Allah protect us and may He help us.
You should not give ease to your ego until your last breath. Because, just like shaytan, even in your last breath it will try to take you out of this world in loss. We should be careful of this. Don’t let your ego deceive you by saying, “I am old. I have become this. I have become that.” The tricks of the ego are many. You should always be careful. May Allah help us. May Allah strengthen our faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
144.A DREAM YOU DIDN’T SEE Sunday, 13 September 2020
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 Holy Prophet says that people might think that some things have no harm to others but they are harmful. Our Holy Prophet states: “The person who claims to have seen a dream which he did not see is cursed.” Certainly everyone sees dreams, but it is a sin for anyone to claim that he saw a dream which he did not see. What’s the harm? Allah knows the harm.
People can also use dreams to get a benefit from everything. It has a wisdom. It is not easy to be cursed, it is bigger than sin. People claim, “We saw such a dream”, thinking that it is nothing [harmful]. They think that it won’t do any harm. However, there is a great harm in saying that.
That’s why our Holy Prophet forbade it. People who use dreams, use everything. The shaytan makes them use it. This is one of the reasons. One has to be careful of what he does and says. If it becomes a habit, it harms others. Just like showing something that did not happen as if it happened. Especially sometimes people say, “I saw our Holy Prophet in my dream”, but it turns out to be something that has nothing to do with that. People should be told this. These are things that some people don’t care about, but they do matter. Everything will be accounted for. Therefore, you need to pay attention to that too. This matter is not simple. We will be questioned for it. Apart from being questioned for it, a person’s sins increase from nothing.
You have to be careful of this. As our Holy Prophet said: “A person should either speak good or be silent.” So it is better to be silent. Don’t say you saw something you didn’t see. May Allah protect us. May Allah show us good dreams because dreams are divided in two: there are good dreams and there are bad dreams. Always interpret them as good so that they turn out good.
Just like when Yusuf ‘alayhi s-salam was in prison, he had two friends there. One of his prison friends told a dream that never existed. And when he interpreted it, it came out like that. He said, “I saw myself carrying bread on my head and birds were eating thereof.” But he did not see that dream, he just said that. That’s why when Yusuf ‘alayhi s-salam interpreted it, it came out like that. He said, “They will hang you, they will crucify you and the birds will eat from your head.” And this is exactly what happened.
Therefore, may Allah protect us. Especially if someone interpreted a dream that does not exist in a bad way, then it will be harmful for us. May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
145.ADAB Monday, 14 September 2020
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 first thing that the people of Tariqa will learn is Adab, good manners. It is to have Adab towards Allah, towards our Holy Prophet, towards the Mashayikh and towards people. The first thing the Tariqa will teach is Adab. A person who has no Adab should not say that he is in Tariqa. Adab towards Allah is to follow the commands of Allah as much as possible. And to seek forgiveness and repentance from him for what we cannot do, and not to do evil things.
Adab towards our Holy Prophet is to have love towards his companions and family, and not to say the slightest bad thing about them. They are loved ones of our Holy Prophet. If they speak against the ones he loves, Allah Azza wa Jalla will take care of them. It is not your duty. Our duty is to look at ourselves. We are responsible for our own actions. We forget what we did the day before or the month before. People are unaware of what is happening in the world. They try to judge and decide on what happened hundreds of years ago. That is also not Adab, it is bad manners.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not let us follow our ego. Because this is what comes from the ego and nothing else. What comes from the ego and shaytan is the opposite of Adab. To be with bad manners is their job. Allah is Aḥkamu l-Hākimīn, The Best of Judges. Allah is the One who judges. We are responsible for our own actions. We should ask for Allah’s forgiveness. We should leave the affairs of others to Allah. If everyone has Adab, it will be like a garden of flowers. And Muslims will not be
toys in anyone’s hands. May Allah help us. May we have Adab all the time Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
146.A PLACE OF TESTS Tuesday, 15 September 2020
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, Allah states in the Holy Qur’an: ‘Truly, Allah is Able to do all things.’ Everything is in the hands of Allah. Allah does as he wills. He gives to whomever he wants, and does not give to whomever he wants. He raises whomever he wants, and lowers whomever he wants. This is how it is. We did not come here according to our own will. It happened by the will of Allah. This is not a party, a republic or a democracy. So you cannot ask: “Why did this happen? Why aren’t my works successful?” Allah does what he wants. And what he does not want does not happen. You can try as much as you want.
This is a place of tests. This world is a place of tests. One should think about it thoroughly; understand, think and move, then he will feel comfortable. Otherwise, the one who keeps asking “Why?”, his whole life will be in turmoil. He will be useless, and his faith will be weak. Everything is a test from Allah. A person who is patient accordingly, will receive favors and rewards from Allah. Because there is nowhere else to go. You have no other opportunity. You have no other choice, you have no other chance; this is it. But people don’t understand this, they rebel and look for other solutions. A person who seeks a solution in other than Allah is always at loss and cannot find any peace, beauty or goodness. Even though he might look good from the outside, he is not as such on the inside. Therefore, Muslims in particular should not say that our affairs are not going well in terms of worldly affairs, health and business. Leave
yourself to Allah, He will do what he wants. You make an effort and if it happens, it happens. If it does not, you will be rewarded. Faith has benefits in this world before the hereafter. Faithful people are at ease. As faith weakens, there is restlessness. Because they do not believe in anything, they think that they will be saved and comfortable with their own efforts. Without faith, it does not happen. May Allah give us all true and strong faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
147.JUST A DREAM Wednesday, 16 September 2020
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.
La ilaha illallah Muhammadu Rasulullah. This is true wealth, this is true existence, nothing more. The world is like an imagination; the reality is Allah. There is no true reality other than Allah. Those with Allah win.
The world is a deception, a deception, nothing more. We hear now, "Men have such wealth, this much money, this much property, they have property ..." —all are temporary. How it slips from under your feet, and doesn't stop! The days, weeks, and months pass suddenly, and the beginning of the year is coming. You look at the new year, and the new year is old, finished, and a new one is coming. If you're going to keep what you've got, you need to consider something that is real.
You will be with Allah. You should always keep the remembrance of Allah in your heart; it is this that will give you benefit. You should remember and invoke “Allah” at every minute.
So the dhikr of the heart is important in the Naqshbandi Order. One can do it continuously, in all twenty-four hours of the day. It is possilbe while you are lying down, sleeping, standing up, or working; you are always with Allah. Otherwise, if you dive into the world and run after the world, you will not be able to catch up. If you say you have iman, if you accept Allah, you will be saved.
No, nothing helps if you don't. The Karuns and the Pharaohs could not
take with them their tons of gold, money, possessions, or property— nothing!
They said, “We took it [with us],” and they put all that in their graves for the hereafter, but people came and took it out. Even they themselves could not stay in the grave!
For each person, the important thing is to be with Allah. If you are with Allah, you will be saved. Nothing else can save you. Neither possessions not property can save you. May Allah give you faith. Insha’Allah, the dhikr will always be in our hearts. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
148.DUTIES OF THE MONTH OF SAFAR Thursday, 17 September 2020
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.
Today is the last day of muharrem a month has passed in our hijri calendar. last year also passed quickly 1441 passed and now we’re in 1442 last year strange things happened nobody was able to go to haj either those who were able to go don’t count the haj was shut off for people this year we shall see inshallah how it’s going to become how Allah wills it.
So, I hope this Safar month will pass comfortably. There is also a vazifeh for it, and the most important thing is sadaqah. Sadaqah is important, after that three Shahadahs and seventy Astaghfirullahs are to be recited, because it is necessary to ask forgiveness of Allah for what we knowingly or unknowingly used to do. God forgives and erases our sins, and when we wipe them away, we will not be punished. There is also seven times Surat ul-Fil. It should be read seven times a day. Sadaqah should be given, and as we already mentioned, three Shahadahs and seventy Astaghfirullahs. After that, there is no need to go here and there unnecessarily. This is important. These are easy things. Allah has shown ease in everything for us, and it will be easy, insha’Allah. I hope the month of Safar is beneficial to us and to His Ummah Muhammadiyah.
May Allah protect us and His Ummah Muhammadiyah from all kinds of misfortunes, evil, unseen accidents, jinns, magic and spells. And may He send us the Owner. As we said, last year passed with such and such, and we approach closer to the time of Sayyiduna al-Mahdi alaisalam and
Akhirah. Since we are living in the End Times, these issues are getting closer and closer. Things that have happened are things that seem so rare in human history.
Allah considers the situations we live in. Allah assigned them to us, and Insha Allah, He will reward us, and He will reward the patient. Nothing goes to waste for believers, but those who oppose Allah suffer and will not benefit. May Allah guide us and give strength to our faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
149.KNOWLEDGE IS TO KNOW ALLAH Friday, 18 September 2020
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, (Qur’ān 39:09). Allah states in the Holy Qur’an: ‘Say, “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?”’ Are those who know equal to those who do not know? Will they be at the same level? Never. What do they know? Knowledge.
What is knowledge? Knowledge is to know Allah, to believe in Allah. This doesn’t happen by reading a lot. There are plenty of those who do that and deny Him even more. This is not knowledge but ignorance, nothing else. Even for a small matter, they can read for years, take lessons, do this and that, but they deny Allah Azza wa Jalla all at once. They also make children deny Him.
This is not knowledge, this is ignorance. Allah Azza wa Jalla describes their state in two words; are those who know equal to those who do not know? No. Those who know are the chosen ones, the most acceptable ones and the highest ones, firstly in the sight of Allah and then among people. Those who do not know are ignorant. Those who teach ignorance are the lowest, the inferior and the unacceptable ones.
The more you acknowledge Allah, the higher you rise. The more you deny Him, the lower you become, the lower you fall and the more worthless you become. Allah is great. Be with Allah. Do not be with those who think they are great. Those people are deceiving themselves, nothing
else. They deceive unfortunate people like them. Those who follow them will be of low level like them, and will not be accepted.
Let them say that they are such and such as much as they want. When they have no value in the sight of Allah, it is the same in the sight of people. Sometimes there may be people who claim that they are such and such on the outside, but it has no benefit. In the sight of people who see the truth, people who know the truth, they have no value and no worth.
The value is to be with those who know and recognize Allah. May Allah make us one of them Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
