Suhbah 2020: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (19/25)


https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5569
erience, but to re-experience what has already been experienced is a bit foolish. One who tries to experience something that has been done before is a person who is missing something in their minds. They lack intelligence.

There are certain things that don’t need to be experienced. Fire burns. There's no need to experience that again. What is bad is clear.

Sometimes there are doubtful things, and people can sometimes try them, but there's no need to try and waste time with needless, useless things. Doing thus are plenty of schools, universities, and high schools that do not teach people [anything useful]. The son of man doesn’t understand, and doesn’t take lessons from [experience]. He says, “I’m going to do it again. I’m going to try again.”

They say that our ancestors, our forefathers, didn’t understand this, that they didn’t know. He says, “I will come up with a new system, and I’m going to make it better,” yet in trying to do so they make it worse. They come up with something worse.

Our nation is a nation who believes in Allah, and who respects its ancestors. They hold on to their religion. There's no need for anything else. They rose with it. They were exalted by it, but Shaytan deceives man.

"You do better,” he says, [then] he does something for a few years. Afterwards, most people return to the original [way], but only after wasting time and making quite a few mistakes. So our path is beautiful. There is no need to test it. We have to continue along the path of our ancestors that goes back to our Prophet. There is no need for other ways. Everything else is the way of Shaytan. “I can be a better Muslim. No, this is not the way of my ancestors, let me try another way.” Then he gets into empty jobs. The survivor then survives, but the one who cannot save himself, suffers in both this world and in the Hereafter.

This ummah trained hundreds of thousands of scholars. Hundreds of thousands of commanders came. The good ones are known, and those who are not good are cursed until the Day of Judgment. The nation was harmed because of the evil they did, and they found no benefit.

May Allah not misguide us. May we be amongst the good. May we help the good ones, Insha Allah. May the good ones increase in number, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

162.THE LAST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH OF SAFAR Tuesday, 13 October 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.

Tomorrow is the last Wednesday of the month of Safar. It is a heavy day, and we need to be careful on it. Pay attention to it. Again, the duties are the same 3 Testifications of Faith (Shahadāh), 300 istighfār, 7 Suratu l-Fīl, and don’t forget about sadaqa. There is no need to go into that [topic] more here. Some days are heavy, but through Allah’s grace they pass with ease. But those people who don’t pay attention to this, don’t have information about Safar, or about religion and faith! Then something happens to them, "Where did this come from?" they say. They do not know the reason, but there are some days that have more barakah, and some days are heavier. By the permission of Allah, for whoever respects them and takes his precautions, they will pass lightly and be harmless. Our Holy Prophet says, "Wish for goodness and you will find it.” He would never consider anything to be bad luck. But again, take precautions. To take refuge in Allah, to ask for forgiveness, and to give charity—these are big precautions for people. Allah Azza wa Jalla says: “ Wa tahsabūnahu hayyinān wa huwa ‘anda Llāhi ‘azīm". (Qur’ān 24:15). It is simple, and you might not value it much, but it is great in the sight of Allah. What is great in the sight of Allah is what most people don't consider at all. They don't consider or pay attention to important things, but [instead] pay attention to useless, unimportant things. Well, we should be paying attention to what is important in the sight of Allah, and consider it. What we need to pay attention to in the sight of Allah is to ask for forgiveness, to repent, and to give sadaqa. These things are

valuable in the sight of Allah. Insha’Allah, we will pass it [i.e., this last Wednesday of Safar] with ease and without any harm. We say these now so that people may take precaution for tomorrow. Today is Tuesday. Tomorrow is Wednesday. Insha Allah, may we reach many good days and these trials end, these difficulties pass. May we, insha’Allah, gain rewards in these. These things do not happen in vain. Everything that is written for them, they will receive it here and in the Hereafter, insha’Allah. May Allah make us succeed. May we be blessed, Insha Allah.

May all our days be blessed.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

163.THE VIRTUE OF FORGIVENESS Wednesday, 14 October 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 l-‘āfīna ‘ani n-nāsi wa ‘Llāhu yuhibbu l-muhsinīn” (Qur’ān 3:134) “...and [they] pardon others, and Allah loves the ones who add quality.”

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Inna dhālika min ‘azmi l-umūr” (Qur’ān 31:17) “...surely, this is a resolve to aspire to.” Allah says that to forgive people for their mistakes is something of great importance.

Everyone makes mistakes but very few can forgive. This is because people would like to pay back the wrong done to them. Sometimes you can do that. You may do that, but there is a huge reward in forgiving even when you have the means to punish someone. [In thus forgiving], one would have done a great deed, and would be overcoming his own nafs. If that does not seem good enough, then additionally, one could also help the wrongdoer, and so become a beloved servant of Allah.

Mankind is used to doing bad. They even cause more harm to people who help them and do them good, and so the Holy Prophet said to beware of the person you help or do good for.

To be able to forgive people, however, is not in everyone’s depth, not everyone can do it. The most powerful, manly, or chivalry person is the

one who choses to forgive even though he can punish. It is easy to talk about this and to say it, but it is actually hard to do. It's very hard. As we said, Allah loves difficult and acceptable deeds.

Even though people are making so many mistakes, Allah is providing their sustenance and allowing them to live this life. As the Holy Prophet said, Allah is the most mistreated by these people. And although another would not give them a drop of water and not let them take even single breath, Allah forgives them and He gives time to people [being patient]. He shows mercy towards us.

Sheikh Nazim, our father, when he was wronged would usually say make excuses for the wrongdoer, or say that he was not responsible, or that he was being foolish or is crazy, and then he would just let the matter go. Also [when problems come] between people, they begin to say “he said and she said” and make a big deal out of things. It is the same with between a husband and wife. They don’t forgive each other and make a big deal out of things. To forgive is a good thing. It gets rid of that distress inside of you. It gets rid of darkness and gloom. May Allah forgive us all. We are all in need of forgiveness.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

164.ASKING FOR ALLAH’S HELP Thursday, 15 October 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.

Thanks be to Allah for all His blessings, for our faith that He has given us. The greatest blessing is the faith. Once that exists, everything else is easy. Otherwise nothing is easy.

Today people do not have faith. When there is no faith, all is difficult. When it becomes difficult, they do not find fault in themselves but in others.

Whatever happens to them, they blame it on others. They attribute the fault to others, because they do not recognize Allah, they might attribute the faults to their family, friends, leaders, presidents. It goes all the way [up the chain]. Those are blamed, but they are Allah’s creatures, too. According to how you are, Allah provides you with a ruler, then instead of being grateful to Allah, people look for what they “deserve”. [It is] the worst they deserve. Allah is the one whom people should than—no one else but Allah. When something happens, we should not find fault with others, but implore Allah: it is Allah who will help us.

The means at human disposal are limited, however everything is possible within the hands of Allah. He has no limit. There are no limits in the sight of Allah —such do not exist amongst His attributes and character, which are unlike ours. We are limited to time and place, but Allah ‘azza wa jalla

doesn’t have such limits. His domains and possessions do not end. Human beings can be as rich or wealthy as they want to be, but they can help only to a certain extent, after which they just are not able to do much.

So beg Allah. Ask Allah for help—this is at the basis of faith. To seek help from Allah is a sign of faith. If that [seeking] doesn’t occur, it means there is no faith or that one’s faith is weak.

May Allah give us true faith. With genuine faith, happiness will be in this world and the Hereafter.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

165.THE REAL SUPREME COURT Friday, 16 October 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 son of man suffers most his troubles because of his ego. The ego cannot choose between what is good and what is bad. It can choose, but it chooses what it thinks is good for itself, but is bad in fact. If you leave things to the whims of your ego, then you will never find goodness in it. The ego debases a person. Although, the ego thinks it will [make itself] be comfortable, it harms itself by itself.

So a person needs to be in control of his ego. If he thinks it is easy, and “just let me do it”, without considering what is right and wrong, what is haram and what is halal, then in the end he will get punished for such. It is the same in this world as well. [Even] if you were to be saved in this world, [even] if one escapes this world’s courts, there is a supreme court on the Judgement Day, on the Day of Resurrection. [Even] in this world, people might commit crimes years in the past, and yet the government catches them years later and punishes them for those crimes. There are so many people who commit crimes, and still the government catches them.

Yes, there are some crimes that are hidden and unseen, and they [who have committed them] think that they are saved and have escaped the law. But if you harm someone or cause someone to suffer, then [you might] think that you are safe in this world, you could have then been living happily for years. You could think, “Well, fifty years ago I did such

and such, but the government was unable to detect it. Law enforcement couldn’t solve the case, and nobody seems to know about it.”

Sometimes even in this world after 20 or 30 years justice is served, but that’s perhaps only one in thousand, or maybe in a million, [yet] in the sight of Allah there is no such thing. It’s a hundred percent. He has a court judgement. And it is that court’s judgment that is essentially to be feared, because every act that you have committed you are answerable for. So don’t go after your ego, and think that you will get away with anything.

Allah ‘azza wa jalla says, “I will forgive all your sins committed against me. Those I will forgive. But for an injustice done towards other person, one needs to ask forgiveness from that person. This is how Allah ‘azza wa jalla has ordered things.

If you repent honestly and sincerely, then He can forgive you by having the other person forgive you. Or you need to be sorry for what you have done. [Either way,] it’s still dangerous, so don’t infringe upon the rights of others. Try not to. We need to be careful of this, so that we may come to the Judgement in ease and in a clean way, so they may say that this person has nothing to answer for, let him go to paradise. We are “Haqqani”, so may we look after the rights of others, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

166.FITNA AND CORRUPTION Saturday, 17 October 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, “Li-lladhīna lā yurīdūna ‘aluwwan fī l- ‘ar'i wa-lā fasādā(n)” (Qur’ān 28:83) “For those who want neither tyranny nor corruption on the earth.”

The believers are humble people. They do not want corruption on earth. The mu’min, the believer, does not want to raise themselves up in a worldly way. They possess humility [here], so that they gain in the Hereafter. When such is the case, fitna and corruption will be avoided.

Fitna and fasad, disorder and corruption, occur when someone says, “I’m better than you. I need to be higher than you. I have ambition.” And because of this ambition disorder and corruption occur. When such is not present, all that [fitna and fasad] disappears. Ambition (or greed), is a bad characteristic. Ambition (or greed) and envy are characteristics that are unsuitable for a Muslim. Everyone has a duty, and he should take care of these duties, and he should be content with those duties, satisfied with that. He needs to do his job well. People of old had this training and way of behaving. But afterwards, for the past 100 years, the world has turned upside down. They tell you to be greedy, to have ambition, to oppress and step on others. You should only think about yourself, not about others. This is what they are teaching today. I was looking at the calendar the other day and it said that this week is the week of Ahi Evren, the week of the Yarenler. They did everything well, and they wanted everything to be done beautifully.

A child would go for training, starting as as an apprentice, and would [learn to] do this job well. As long as the master said that he was not ready, he could not open his own shop. They also would assign how many shops should be around, and how much work should be done.

When one person had sold enough, he would send the rest of the customers to the next shop. He would say, “I made enough today. Go to the next shop, so they can also earn their sustenance. This is how it was in the past. This is how it is in Islam. This is how it is according to tasawwuf. These people were beautiful people. Now people are eating each other. With their greed and ambition, they don’t know what to do. Just as our Holy Prophet indicated. If even someone had a whole valley full of gold, he would want still another one. This is human nature. We need to train that nature. The training comes with Islam and tariqa. Tariqa and Islam are the same anyway. Those who do not have tariqa, follow and live by their ego. Tariqa is to train the ego. So this is how the state of the world is today. People ask, “What are these things that are happening to us?” Nothing happens without a reason. We are in the End Times. Neither Muslims, nor those who claim to be Muslims, nor others are doing anything good. Everyone is looking after his own [worldly] benefit, and not looking after the benefit of others.

This mindlessness leads to foolishness, for when people bad, in the end it will harm you, too. If everyone does well, [though], everything will be good. This has been said a lot lately, and people might be laughing now. It is indicated that everything will be beautiful, but it is not going to happen by the deeds of one man, but everybody needs to be educated and trained and have good manners. May Allah, help us. We are in the End Times. We are talking about it now, but until the owner [i.e., Mahdi alaisalam] comes, there will be no beauty or proper training. May Allah, send us our owner. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

167.THE MONTH OF MAWLID Sunday, 18 October 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.

Thanks be to Allah that we have been able to reach this beautiful month in safety and security. It is the month of the mawlid. The whole month, Insha Allah, will pass with blessings in honor of the Holy Prophet. The Holy Prophet was sent as a mercy to this world. He brought light to this world.

It is such a [special] month that we are in that it is as valuable as the Night of Power, Laylatu l-Qadr. For the honor of this day, the whole month is considered sacred in the sight of Allah. Good things and blessings descend, come, and get distributed by Allah ‘azza wa jalla during this month.

Thanks be to Allah that a year has passed since last time. We had spent this day in front of the Holy Prophet, though we had not planned it so. We had not had this in mind, and we had not planned it, but we were able to spend the first day of this month with the Holy Prophet, insha’Allah, this year.

May we spend it in the spiritual realm with him next time, because a person is with whom he loves in this world and in all of the Next.

The love of the Prophet is important. If there is no such love, none of our works will be useful. They would be worthless, of no use. To follow the Holy Prophet is salvation, to follow him is to receive love of Allah. If you

do not love him, then Allah will not love you. He is the beloved of Allah, so we love him as well.

Insha’Allah, we will be neighbors with him in Paradise. This is the greatest reward. It is the greatest wish we have. The world has no value.

Muslims get upset saying, “This one said this, and the other said that...” They are unfortunate, unhappy people. Would Shaytan ever be good? In the same way, those who follow Shaytan have no value. They can bark as much as they want, and there is no need for us to pay attention to them. They receive their punishment from Allah. It is necessary to honor our Holy Prophet. This is a form of worship, and to follow him is also worship. To honor him increases your value in the sight of Allah. The Holy Prophet is worthy of every remembrance. Nobody else deserves such honor.

Amongst everyone else, he is worthy of the highest honor. He is the faultless one, the innocent one. Human beings make mistakes, but the prophets are innocent. The Holy Prophet is the highest amongst all. Whoever honors him certainly reaches Felicity, and their will be good.

There are those who do not honor him, and those who claim,“ He was just an ordinary man like us.” Then they call themselves Muslims. Their end is in danger. May Allah protect us. They might leave this world in wretchedness and unhappy. They might leave without faith.

So for the honor of this month, and although we recite salawat every day, this month we should increase the recitation. Everyone should do as much as he can, so those who do 100 [usually] should do 200, and those who do 200 can try to do 400. Those who do 500, should do 1000 for the honor of the Holy Prophet. He will reply to you for every salawat. He responds to the greetings.

Salawat benefits us more. We should increase the salawat. We should increase in good works and deeds during this month, and make the intention for the mawlud of the Prophet.

Everything that we do should be done for his honor during this month. May it be blessed. May Allah make us reach many more years. May He increase our faith, and may our love for the Holy Prophet increase, Insha Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

168.THE TRUSTWORTHY ONE Monday, 19 October 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 Holy Prophet’s most popular name before he was given the prophecy and ever since he was a child was Muhammad “Al Amin”, the trustworthy one, the secure one, the one who does not commit treachery, the non-treacherous person. It means the one who does not lie. He has no lies [on his record]. He was known as a person who never lied. Even amongst people he was known as such. He was trusted.

Allah ‘azza wa jalla made it this way so people would be able to accept and follow him. He even showed this to people, but of course they followed their egos and Shaytan, and most of them did not accept him. That is not important. What is important is that after he became a Prophet, they still trusted him, and would bring their possessions to leave them as a trust with him. Since in the past there was no specific place to leave a trust when necessary, they would leave it with trustworthy people. Even though they were enemies, they still trusted him, and left their possessions with him to keep them safe.

Once, after the Holy Prophet migrated, there were still some trusts left, so he assigned Sayyiduna Ali (RA) as his representative for those trusts, and he asked him to give those possessions back to people, and then go to Madina to meet him. Once the Holy Prophet left Mecca, all the people were given back possession of all their trusts that had been left with him.

This also is the most important thing for a Muslim: to keep the trust. To [only] assign the trust to the worthy people. This is a great quality which Muslims should practice.

Today, there are very few people who do this, who keep the trust. They are treacherous most of the time towards the trust. And this is true not only with possessions and money, but even with tasks.

When you are given a certain position, and you are in a job, if you do not do that job [properly], then you are not keeping that trust, and are being treacherous towards it. Then you wonder why the world is in the state it is?

If everybody had kept trust, and everybody paid attention to his job, and did not become treacherous, in a sense it wouldn't be this way. This is important.

It is true that sometimes people might forget that they have received a trust to keep safe for someone. In order to compensate for that, as expiation they can give the trusts as sadaqah. In such a case, you could make the intention, “If I have done anything to break that trust, I give this as a sadaqah. If you make such an intention, Allah will accept it. But if you know the person involved, then you should definitely give the trust back to that person. If you don’t know, or you have forgotten or whatever else might have happened, then Allah will give to the person according to his niyyat, and he will come out clean on the Day of Judgement. Let's not go to the Hereafter with such burdens on our necks. Let's fix it in this world, because if you do not give [to expiate it], it will different if they take from you in on the Day of Judgment.

May Allah protect us from this, and for the honor of the Holy Prophet and in this blessed month, let us be clothed in his qualities, Insha Allah, and do the good, beautiful things that he has also done, Insha Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

169.RESPONDING TO HARM WITH HARM Wednesday, 21 October 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 Holy Prophet says “Lā d'arara wa-lā d'irār.” “In Islam, no harm should be given to others or received [from others].”

Whether [it is a matter of] harming someone’s possessions or life, it is not allowed. Everything has rules and methods, regulations. If someone causes you harm or damage, then you can take them to court. That is how you should see things so that you can get your rights and receive justice.

Of course, during the time of the Holy Prophet there were caliphs. When there was wisdom in Islam, there was justice. People could get justice, and get their rights, but now if you go to a court, sometimes it can take years to get a case resolved. If one thinks to get his rights by his own mean, well that doesn’t work. It doesn’t work by you causing damage to the possessions of others.

The Holy Prophet set rules. There are rules in Islam. Everyone can ask for their rights, but you cannot take rights by force. There is no such thing. [So,] what should we do?

We [should] leave it to Allah, and beseech Allah that He may secure your right for you in the here and Hereafter. Your rights will certainly be delivered to you in the End, but if you go on harming and damaging others, then Allah will take the rights owed to others from you, too.

People sometimes go by rules they set themselves according to their own minds. Yet when that is the case, first they are harming themselves, [although they might think] they are harming others [i.e., getting even]. There are those who harm others [even] for no reason [at all]. Well, they in any event surely will not see any good in this world or the Next. Whatever a person does, he does it to himself, thinking that he is going to cause damage to the other person, but [instead] he himself receives the biggest harm, gets harmed most.

That is why the Holy Prophet told us not to cause damage, not to harm others, not to torture others, not to damage or break things, [and] not to infringe on the rights of others. The Holy Prophet was sent as a rahmah, as a mercy. That is why, although this is a hadith consisting of only two words, it is enough for the whole of humanity. We see the situation in the state of humanity right now.

Nonbelievers are causing damage and harming the whole world, and are causing suffering to the whole world, and they think they’re getting something out of it, [but] in the end, there’s nothing left in their hands. They have been robbing the whole world for hundreds of years, and have cleaned it out, but again still nothing [good for them] has come from of it.

It is the will of Allah through the command of Allah that they go from one crisis to another not knowing what to do anymore. They want to do like in old times. “Let’s clean the world, but how? They are saying it, and although they are “cleaning” it out, it is of no benefit. They are just causing harm, nothing but harm. Those who harm receive harm [in return].

May Allah protect us. May we not infringe on anyone’s rights. May Allah protect us from the evils of our ego and from the evils of Shaytan, Insha Allah.

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

170.IN SHA ALLAH Thursday, 22 October 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, “Wa- lā taqūlanna li-shāy’in innī fā’ilun dhālika ghadan illā an yashā’a Allāh” (Qur’ān 18:23- 24) “And do not say about anything that ‘I will do that tomorrow’, unless you add, ‘if Allah wills’.”

When you are about to do something tomorrow, for example, don’t say, “I’ll be doing it, Allah wills so.” Insha’Allah means “if Allah wills”. Whenever you say you’ll do such and such tomorrow, you don't even know that you are going to be living another minute. You have no guarantee. You don’t even know how that task is going to come out. A thousand obstacles might appear.

So if you want to do something, you should say, “If Allah wills, I will do it,” or, “Insha’Allah, we will do it.” When you say that, then the task will be accomplished, Allah willing, through His permission. This way you will be remembering Allah. You then [should] also say that all is from Allah.

When one does not say it, he thinks he is doing it all by himself. People of today say I’m going to do such and such, but they never remember to say, “Insha’Allah.” Whoever says insha’Allah wins, and can get something accomplished, both with regard to the tasks of this world, as well as those of the Hereafter. They all go along a good path if you say, “Insha’Allah, through Allah’s help and His will those deeds will be

accomplished.” [Then] when it does happen, it becomes a blessing. Otherwise, most of the time it doesn’t work out, and even if it does happen it t
