and difficulties. They need to be patient, and for those who are patient, their end will be good in this world and in the Hereafter. They will reach
felicity and happiness. May Allah help us all, strengthen our faith, and guide people. They think highly of what they do according to their own minds. “If I do this, it will be good,” they say, but what they are doing is nothing but evil. Even if it looks good in their own eyes, what they are doing is evil and harmful for themselves. May Allah protect us from this and give guidance to people. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
201.VOLUNTEER SLAVERY Friday, 4 December 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. Arrogance is a trait that is disliked by Allah. It exists mostly in unbelievers.
The Holy Quran indicates Nimrod and Pharaoh to have been the most arrogant. Now during our times, those who are unbelievers do not accept others but only those like themselves. They say,“ We are the highest!” They do not like Allah’s provisions or His orders. In the [ancient] past, they claimed that they were God, and today in the same way they continue to claim the same thing.
As arrogance leads all the way to claiming to be God, they have such an arrogance as to claim that they are the ones who created everything. The progeny of Nimrod still continues. Those who are from Pharaoh do not exist anymore, but the lineages of Nimrod continues today. Wherever there is such arrogance it is traceable to them, and because of their arrogance, they oppress people and make people suffer by supporting disbelief and causing it increase all over.
This is the group who see all of humanity as their slaves, as people who serve them. Because of their arrogance, they do not accept anybody. They neither accept religion, nor faith, nor do they possess humane characteristics. They want everything for themselves, and whatever they do, they claim that they’re doing it for the benefit of humanity. By doing so, they are trying to deceive people, and people are deceived. People
willingly become slaves for them. Those who are slaves to their nafs become slaves for them. Those who control their ego, and are not slaves of their ego, cannot submit to them. They play with people, as if the people are like toys. I’m going make you wear this today, and tomorrow I’m going to make you wear that. I’m going to make you eat this and drink that. They are making others do it for them.
Allah 'azza wa jalla gave everyone intellect and told us not to be slaves for such, but rather to be servants of Allah. Servanthood is from a high level, but this other slavery is from a lowly level. That is why Islam did not want slavery, and always encouraged people to be saved from slavery, and encouraged it even in the era of slavery. Now you don't see slavery of the type that was in the past, but it is really the same slavery, it only continues in a different fashion now. In the past they used to buy slaves or gain slaves in battle, but today people willingly make themselves slaves and give themselves up. On top of it they give money, they actually pay money to be made slaves. They don’t want to be the servants of Allah, but rather they want to be the slaves of low people.
May Allah protect us and forbid such low deeds. May Allah give us intellect and mind. May Allah protect us from the evils of our ego, so that we may not fall into such lowly states. May Allah strengthen our faith, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
202.TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE Saturday, 5 December 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. There are two types of people. There are many types, but these two types are totally and absolutely the opposite of each other. One are the beloved servants of Allah, awliya, the saints, and the others are the ones disliked by Allah, the enemies of Allah.
The type that includes the awliya of Allah, do not interfere with Allah’s doings. Even if the world collapses or burns, they neither make petition nor oppose, nor do they anything at all. In other words, nothing alters in their heart. They are with Allah. They say, “This is Allah’s will: we do not interfere with it or stand try to obstruct it.” They do neither oppose it nor make dua that troubles or calamities will be lifted or that they might be saved therefrom. No, they don’t.
These are special servants of Allah, awliya of Allah. Not all of them are like this, but some.
The other group, even if the whole world is destroyed, they [also] don’t care, [but] they just want to save themselves, their own egos. Even if humanity perishes, and the world is destroyed and burnt and ruined with nothing left, as long as nothing happens to them, they don’t care at all. These are the enemies of Allah, those whom Allah dislikes.
One type accepts the will of Allah and accepts in submission that everything is from Allah, but the second type is submitted to their egos, doing things for it for it and themselves. There are very few of the first group remaining nowadays, as we said. The awliya of Allah are not so many in any case. The other ones have filled the whole world up. The world is full of them. Even if the world is destroyed, as long as nothing happens to them, people they don’t like are gone, the world or the country is ruined—as long as nothing happens to them, they don't care at all.
These are End Times, so Allah has created many of these people [for these days]. They do not gain anything in this world. They live in distress and without peace, and in the Hereafter it will be yet worse for them. Their state will be worse.
May Allah protect us, may we be amongst his beloved servants Insha Allah, those who do not give much importance to this world Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
203.SIN ALREADY COMMITTED Sunday, 6 December 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. Allah says in the Glorious Quran, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Iqrā’ kitābaka kafā bi-nafsika l-yawma ‘alayka hasībā” (Qur’ān 17:14) “Read your record. By yourself you are enough this day to take account of yourself.” Allah says read what you have done. All is written here, and all that is written will witness for you as to whether your actions were good or bad. Read your book, today, you suffice for yourself.
Nowadays they have made a small gadget, and within this small gadget you are able to show your life. In order for people to understand the greatness of the Holy Quran, these things are made plain, but instead of acknowledging its meaning, people go yet further astray. Their rebellious behavior goes against them in fact, because everything is being recorded. Every action will be recorded, and you will be questioned according what is recorded. If you have done good, it will be rewarded; if you committed bad deeds and did not repent, they will return as a punishment.
It is a punishment for you. Allah 'azza wa jalla says for those who have committed sin and do not reveal it and are ashamed of it, it is thus covered and Allah will also cover it for them on the Day of Judgement, so that they will not be disgraced. They are not alone on the Day of Judgement, because when you are reading your book, you are not reading it alone by yourself in a room, but are rather amongst millions and millions of people reading it. So you are both ashamed and disgraced
in front everyone by what you have done. You are also suffering the punishment for it.
So if you are ashamed of it and repent for it in this world, Allah will say that He covered it for you. And likewise, He will cover it for them on the Day of Judgement, too. This is an important thing: everything is being written, and everything will be read, yet those things that Allah wants to be covered, they will be covered. So for all those who have committed sins, don’t say something wrong, and ask, “Why should I hide what Allah already knows?” Those are empty words, and are the sayings of Shaytan. It should stay [a secret just] between you and Allah. If you have repented from your sins, there is no need to mention them. So these ignorant people do not know, and they think that if they reveal things that we have done, maybe it's going to be lighter. They have such a thought, but that's the wrong thought. The sins are covered. The Holy Prophet says that if you have fallen into sin, cover it, hide it, and do not say, “I did this or that,” but rather repent and ask for forgiveness for those sins Insha Allah. May Allah protect us. May He protect us from sin, and may He forgive us, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
204.DUA OF KUFFAR Monday, 7 December 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. Allah ‘azza wa jalla says, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Wa-mā du‘āu l-kāfirīna illā fī 'alāl” (Qur’ān 13:14), sadaqa ‘Llahu l-‘Azīm. “
And the dua of kāfirīn [i.e., those who cover the truth] is nothing but an error.“ Dua, supplication, is a blessing given to us by Allah. It is special for Muslims.
Prayers of the kuffār have no effect. It does not matter whether they make dua or they don’t, because they do not accept the command of Allah. They can say as much as they want making dua supplicating or praying, but it has no value, it has no benefit. Allah gave this to Muslims. Allah gave this as a weapon. They are making so many weapons, but their weapons have no use in front of [a believer’s] dua. This weapon of dua is to protect ourselves, and for victory. We should always make good duas. “Well, I made dua, but it was not accepted.” Allah answers the dua of those who believe, the dua of Muslims, but not all of them are answered here. Some of them are left to be answered in the Next Life. These days the most important thing, and what we need the most, is dua. We need to make dua for each other, and to ask for others’ dua. This will have a great benefit for people.
Dua is the key to everything. Medicines too have benefit, but with dua. Most people take medicine, but then say that it did not work. That is why
we need to make dua, and to say that the medicine is from Allah, that you (He) gave it as a means, and so we find health through it. It is a means to help, and so that the means may have its [good] effect, we make dua. So that this sickness will go away. We need to make dua, so that evil and bad things will go away and stay away from us. That’s how we should make dua for everything. It is beneficial for all kinds of things. Allah 'azza wa jalla gave this blessing to people.
That’s why dua of kuffār is not answered. No matter how much they make dua. First of all they need to believe in Allah. They need to accept the commands and orders of Allah, and then their dua will be answered. This is the secret of this matter. That’s why sometimes those who are non- Muslims used to come and ask for dua. Why? Because theirs were of no benefit, and they heard that Muslims’ prayers are answered. We have seen many such people, have heard of many such people. They always came and asked for dua.
May Allah give them guidance so that their prayers can also be answered. We want good for people. And the greatest good that we can ask for people is to recognize Allah and accept Allah, to come to faith. May Allah give strength to our faith, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
205.BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY TOWARDS TRUSTS Tuesday, 8 December 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, “Innā ‘arad'nā l-amānata ‘alā s-samawāti wa-l-ar'i wa-l-jibāli fa-abayna an yahmilnahā wa-ashfaqna minhā wa-hamalahā l-insāna innahu kāna salūmān jahūlā” (Qur’ān 33:72)
“Indeed, We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they declined to bear it, being fearful of it, but Man took it upon himself. Indeed he truly oppressive and ignorant.”
Allah 'azza wa jalla says in the Holy Quran that,“ We offered the trust to the mountains and the rocks, whatever there is.” They did not accept it, because they knew how heavy it was, but the son of man an accepted it, considering it to be an easy matter. It is not easy. The mountains, the rocks, and the skies did not accept it. They did not want it. There declined the offer, because they said that they could not carry this burden. It says that the son of man is ignorant and cruel, because he said that he will carry it.
This is a beautiful trust. Allah has granted it to us as a blessing to the son of man. However, the son of man has breached the trust. He accepted it, but does not do what was supposed to be done in accordance with that trust. This is what is meant by “breach of trust”. When any trust is given, it needs to be protected and preserved. When someone gives you something to keep in trust, you have to protect it. When you make a
promise, that is a trust; when something is given, it is a trust; when you are with somebody, that person is also a trust. Everything is a trust. Sometimes the son of man misappropriates, and you then ask, “Why did he do such a thing?” Whoever did it will receive the harm caused by his misbehaving. This is the nature of man. This is how he is.
Allah ‘azza wa jalla says in the Holy Quran that “to betray the trust is the nature of the son of man.” This nature is corrected by means of Islam and the fear of Allah, but there are many people who misappropriate the trust and breach the trust. To keep the promise is a very important thing, because Allah ‘azza wa jalla, chose the son of man to carry that burden. Instead of carrying, though, they are breaching the trust. It is the result of his following Shaytan and his ego nafs. By doing so, they are not keeping the promise, not keeping it for its [rightful] owner. They are wasting it and not giving it value. If you attribute value [properly], you become valuable. For those who do not give value to it [i.e., the trust], they are at loss. May Allah protect us from that, but first Muslims should obey and keep the trust. The others, well we [already] know that they are kuffar, without faith, and off the path. The case is harder for people who say they are Muslim, but do not keep the trust. May Allah protect us. May Allah not make us follow our ego. May Allah strengthen our faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
206.WIN IN THE END Wednesday, 9 December 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 father Sheikh, Sheikh Nazim often said, “Do not worry too much for this world, for what is happening, all things are willed by Allah.”
Whatever Allah wills and has written, happens and will happen. Allah is the creator and these people are just a means.
Now they say this one did this, this one did that. There is no need to worry about other people. The real creator and the one who does things and causes things to happen is Allah. So there is no need to be upset about certain things that happen. As long as you are with Allah, in the end you are the victorious one; you will win. If not, if you are not with Allah, then you can be as anxious and worried as much as you want and like, but it is not going to benefit you at all.
Now the state of the world is this as we see now: the whole world is worried. Worried about what they should be doing, where we’re coming from, where we’re going, with “this one did that” and “that one did this.” Yes, people do things, but without the will of Allah nothing would happen.
Allah gives the person that permission to do things, whether it’s good or it’s bad. Allah is granting to people that they are able to do things. There are people who follow their ego and those who do not, but it's all from Allah. It is Allah’s predestination, something He willed to happen.
Something could be this way now, and it could be different from now on in the future. Yet whatever be the case, it is what Allah allows, and Allah wants us to submit to Him. “Don't be sad,” He says, “Don't be worried or anxious.” As long as you are with Allah, then you will win. Those who are not with Allah, those who are away from Allah and with Shaytan are the losers. Even if the whole world is within their hands and under their order, under their command, they will [only] win for a short period of time, [only] temporarily, and then forever, for eternity, they are at loss.
So people are anxious, but there is no need to be anxious. They are both losing their health, and some of them are losing their minds. Be with Allah to stay strong; everything is from Allah. We will return back to him. The things that He does are beautiful and good. There is the saying, “Let’s see what our Lord does, and whatever He does it will be good for good.” This is what the lovers and awliya of Allah say, and in fact it is like that. May Allah strengthen our faith, and the rest will be easy, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
207.MERCY THAT DOES NOT DESCEND Thursday, 10 December 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. Allah ‘azza wa jalla created everything beautifully, gave us time [itself] and gave everything its [own] time.
Every time has a different feature. Winter has a feature, a benefit, and there is another benefit in springtime, and another benefit in summer, another in autumn, and even from one month to another the special features and benefit changes. Allah ‘azza wa jalla gave sustenance for everything according to its season. What does it do? What is beneficial to man? He gave those things that season.
Now people talk without thinking and say that the weather is fine. The weather is nice in spring, [and yet] cold and rainy weather is nice in winter. But people find this or that air beautiful according to their own tastes. Of course, this cannot interfere with the will of Allah, but what Allah normally gives to this season now is for it to be cold and rainy. Allah's work is not interfered with, and this means that this [will] is what is right for the people present. People rejoice when the weather is nice and sunny, but it is sunny in summer. It is the same for these countries in winter, but it may be in other countries that Allah ‘azza wa jalla made them summer all year. Winter in our country must be cold and rainy.
Climate happens with the grace (lu"f) of Allah, and when it does not, that means there is something Allah does not want and does not like; it means that Allah did not send His mercy. In the past, they used to call rain a
mercy, and would say, “Mercy is raining.” Snow is more abundant [in mercy], and it brings down the blessings of Allah, angels descending with every snowflake and it stays on the ground with their blessings.
Foolish people also rejoice, saying “It's sunny, daily sunshine. How beautiful it is!” Allah ‘azza wa jalla also gives food according to the season. Allah has given every season foods that are what the human body needs to eat [then].
There are all kinds of summer vegetables and fruits, and they are eaten in summer. They benefit and strengthen the body. It is the same with winter. Of course, this is no longer the case, and people eat summer vegetables and fruits in winter. However, in the past, there were not many vegetables, but even so, there were pulses, and there was the tomato paste they had made during the summer. There was tarhana, and so on.
Things made from the blessings of summer benefit people, give strength, give immunity, strengthen the body, protect against diseases. They are eaten against all kinds of difficulties. Now you are looking, and this disease has appeared, and they say the nation has no immunity. Of course there is no immunity, because what people eat is of no use, like water. Water is actually more useful. Yet even in water they have not left its benefits, but rather filter them in factories and have people drink it that way without anything [healthy] left. So all kinds of things are like that. After that the wonder, “Why are these people getting sick suddenly? What shall we do? What shall we do?” No matter how much you can, you should turn to Allah and ask Him for help, because no one can change this in this season, neither America, nor Russia, nor the strongest countries in the world. No one should try to interfere with the seasons. They have gotten involved in everything, but they can’t manage it.
The kuffar are trying to do this too, and want [even] to cancel the sun. [Perhaps Shaykh Efendi is referring to a recent suggestion that we try to block some of the sun rays from reaching earth so as to reduce global warming. -Ed] I mean, it's nonsense, but the unbeliever always looks for
his own interests and doesn't care [even] if the whole world burns. May Allah help. May Allah protect us. As we said, Mawlana Sheikh Nazim (QS) would also say, "Eat the vegetables in their season." [Or] it might be fruit. Of course, they come forth again in their particular season, rather than in another, but they can endure by hiding here and there.
In the past, we used to store watermelons in the straw, and people kept apples. This practice is alright, but it doesn’t really benefit when vegetables are not in season. People have forgotten most things. They eat some particular thing and nothing else. There eat just a few kinds of vegetables, whereas there are dozens of edible vegetables to eat, but most do not eat them. They eat two or three kinds, and do not look at the rest. They say, “We cannot eat.” If you cannot eat it, then you will get sick, and your immunity will no longer exist. May Allah protect.
May Allah give intellect to humanity, so that they return to Allah and find the right way, insha’Allah. Returning to Allah is happiness both in this world and in the Hereafter.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
208.THE BELIEVERS ARE BROTHERS Friday, 11 December 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, “Innamā l-mu’minūna ikhwatun fa-aslihū bayna akhawākum wa-ttaqū Llāha la‘allakum turhamun (Qur’ān 49:10) says Allah ‘azza wa jalla. “The believers are a brotherhood, so reconcile amongst your brothers and be wary of Allah, so that perhaps you may receive mercy.”
Allah 'azza wa jalla says that Muslims are brothers. If there is a difference or a misunderstanding amongst them, then let them reconcile so that Allah’s mercy may descend upon you. There is no [such] mercy for non- believers, but [rather] punishment. The mu’mineen should love one another. Allah ‘azza wa jalla describes them as brothers, and there are hundreds of hadiths about believers being brothers of another.
Whatever one likes for oneself, one should like for one’s brother. Shaytan does not want this. On the contrary, he wants the relationship amongst them to be bad, and for them to fight each other, so that this mercy may not descend upon them. He leads them to harm one another, and to be envious of each other.
Envy is a characteristic of Shaytan. One could say, “I don’t have it, so he should not have it either.” But you should say, “May he also have it,” so that you may be at ease and comfortable and happy. But Shaytan wants their end to be in hell. A Muslim is merciful, because it is one of the sifat of Allah, but envy is from Shaytan. Nonbelievers have envy and harm.
Even if they act like they're doing good, their aim is different and in the end turns out evil. A mu’min wants good for people, and he wants goodness for everybody, whether they be Muslim or not. For non- Muslims, he wishes guidance for them so they may be guided. Muslims may pray for them, so that their end may be good.
There can be no bigger goodness than this: for them to be saved from non- belief, because when one is saved from non-belief, one is saved for eternity. If they’re not saved from non-belief for eternity, [it means] they will be unsaved and will be with Shaytan.
Allah has given intelligence to people, intellect to both Muslims and non- believers, to everybody, so that intellect needs to be used. The Muslim and mu'min should listen and not act according to whatever opinion pops into his head. If you do not want to do it, [then ask yourself] why you don’t want to do it. If a person is doing something wrong, then advise him. If you are doing wrong, then you have to fix yourself and control yourself. You have to say this one is a mu’min, a believer I should love him, because it’s the order, the command of Allah and the Prophet and the order of Islam. You need to break your nafs, get rid of that aversion from your heart, and remove that envy from your heart. When those are gone and removed, then you’ll be comfortable and at ease, because when they are in your heart there's no place for Allah in it. When there is Allah in your heart, then negative things are not in your heart. If your heart fills with the love of Allah, then these bad characteristics do not remain there.
May Allah give us His love in our hearts, insha’Allah, and may it be a means to strengthen our faith, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
209.RESOLUTE AVERSION IS A DUTY Saturday, 12 December 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 tarkanū ilā l-ladhīna salamū fa-tamassakumu n-nār” (Qur’ān 11:113). “And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the fire.” Allah 'azza wa jalla says, “Do not be with the oppressors or with the tyrants, otherwise the punishment of fire will reach you too.”
Who are the tyrants? Those who associate partners with Allah, those who do not accept Him. They are those who wage war against Allah. Who are those who wage war against Allah? It is clear, because we see the whole world is attacking Muslims, attacking Islam. Muslims have no value, because Muslims have no trust left in Allah, and because they are with the tyrants. They are in abasement, held in contempt, and the non- believers are playing with Muslims.
They [Muslims] are asking from where are these things coming to us? From where are these things happening to us? It is because they're not believing in Allah. They say they are Muslims, but they don’t believe in Allah. Instead, they trust in non-believers and are afraid of them. They do as they want even though they say that they are not; they have been like this since after the Ottomans. Whenever one raises his head, they cause so much trouble for him that they force him to be with them. But in the end, Allah will make victorious those who are with Him.
Allah says He gives time but that He doesn't forget. In the end, He will put question them, and then give them what they deserve.
These are the End Times, when all sorts of evil, bad things, filth, and dirty things are shown as right and as the truth, and as if they were normal. They are showing evil as good in everything. You are surprised wherever you look, as we see that they do the opposite of nature and what is natural. Yet the whole world is running after them, going after and following them. So you should not be with the zalimeen (those who oppress others and their own souls), rather be with the truth and what’s right. Even if others defame and vilify the truth and what is right, you need to be with what is true and what is right. At least in your heart you should be so, even if that considered the weakest level of faith (according to a hadith, that encourages one t

and difficulties. They need to be patient, and for those who are patient, their end will be good in this world and in the Hereafter. They will reach
felicity and happiness. May Allah help us all, strengthen our faith, and guide people. They think highly of what they do according to their own minds. “If I do this, it will be good,” they say, but what they are doing is nothing but evil. Even if it looks good in their own eyes, what they are doing is evil and harmful for themselves. May Allah protect us from this and give guidance to people. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
201.VOLUNTEER SLAVERY Friday, 4 December 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. Arrogance is a trait that is disliked by Allah. It exists mostly in unbelievers.
The Holy Quran indicates Nimrod and Pharaoh to have been the most arrogant. Now during our times, those who are unbelievers do not accept others but only those like themselves. They say,“ We are the highest!” They do not like Allah’s provisions or His orders. In the [ancient] past, they claimed that they were God, and today in the same way they continue to claim the same thing.
As arrogance leads all the way to claiming to be God, they have such an arrogance as to claim that they are the ones who created everything. The progeny of Nimrod still continues. Those who are from Pharaoh do not exist anymore, but the lineages of Nimrod continues today. Wherever there is such arrogance it is traceable to them, and because of their arrogance, they oppress people and make people suffer by supporting disbelief and causing it increase all over.
This is the group who see all of humanity as their slaves, as people who serve them. Because of their arrogance, they do not accept anybody. They neither accept religion, nor faith, nor do they possess humane characteristics. They want everything for themselves, and whatever they do, they claim that they’re doing it for the benefit of humanity. By doing so, they are trying to deceive people, and people are deceived. People
willingly become slaves for them. Those who are slaves to their nafs become slaves for them. Those who control their ego, and are not slaves of their ego, cannot submit to them. They play with people, as if the people are like toys. I’m going make you wear this today, and tomorrow I’m going to make you wear that. I’m going to make you eat this and drink that. They are making others do it for them.
Allah 'azza wa jalla gave everyone intellect and told us not to be slaves for such, but rather to be servants of Allah. Servanthood is from a high level, but this other slavery is from a lowly level. That is why Islam did not want slavery, and always encouraged people to be saved from slavery, and encouraged it even in the era of slavery. Now you don't see slavery of the type that was in the past, but it is really the same slavery, it only continues in a different fashion now. In the past they used to buy slaves or gain slaves in battle, but today people willingly make themselves slaves and give themselves up. On top of it they give money, they actually pay money to be made slaves. They don’t want to be the servants of Allah, but rather they want to be the slaves of low people.
May Allah protect us and forbid such low deeds. May Allah give us intellect and mind. May Allah protect us from the evils of our ego, so that we may not fall into such lowly states. May Allah strengthen our faith, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
202.TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE Saturday, 5 December 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. There are two types of people. There are many types, but these two types are totally and absolutely the opposite of each other. One are the beloved servants of Allah, awliya, the saints, and the others are the ones disliked by Allah, the enemies of Allah.
The type that includes the awliya of Allah, do not interfere with Allah’s doings. Even if the world collapses or burns, they neither make petition nor oppose, nor do they anything at all. In other words, nothing alters in their heart. They are with Allah. They say, “This is Allah’s will: we do not interfere with it or stand try to obstruct it.” They do neither oppose it nor make dua that troubles or calamities will be lifted or that they might be saved therefrom. No, they don’t.
These are special servants of Allah, awliya of Allah. Not all of them are like this, but some.
The other group, even if the whole world is destroyed, they [also] don’t care, [but] they just want to save themselves, their own egos. Even if humanity perishes, and the world is destroyed and burnt and ruined with nothing left, as long as nothing happens to them, they don’t care at all. These are the enemies of Allah, those whom Allah dislikes.
One type accepts the will of Allah and accepts in submission that everything is from Allah, but the second type is submitted to their egos, doing things for it for it and themselves. There are very few of the first group remaining nowadays, as we said. The awliya of Allah are not so many in any case. The other ones have filled the whole world up. The world is full of them. Even if the world is destroyed, as long as nothing happens to them, people they don’t like are gone, the world or the country is ruined—as long as nothing happens to them, they don't care at all.
These are End Times, so Allah has created many of these people [for these days]. They do not gain anything in this world. They live in distress and without peace, and in the Hereafter it will be yet worse for them. Their state will be worse.
May Allah protect us, may we be amongst his beloved servants Insha Allah, those who do not give much importance to this world Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
203.SIN ALREADY COMMITTED Sunday, 6 December 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. Allah says in the Glorious Quran, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Iqrā’ kitābaka kafā bi-nafsika l-yawma ‘alayka hasībā” (Qur’ān 17:14) “Read your record. By yourself you are enough this day to take account of yourself.” Allah says read what you have done. All is written here, and all that is written will witness for you as to whether your actions were good or bad. Read your book, today, you suffice for yourself.
Nowadays they have made a small gadget, and within this small gadget you are able to show your life. In order for people to understand the greatness of the Holy Quran, these things are made plain, but instead of acknowledging its meaning, people go yet further astray. Their rebellious behavior goes against them in fact, because everything is being recorded. Every action will be recorded, and you will be questioned according what is recorded. If you have done good, it will be rewarded; if you committed bad deeds and did not repent, they will return as a punishment.
It is a punishment for you. Allah 'azza wa jalla says for those who have committed sin and do not reveal it and are ashamed of it, it is thus covered and Allah will also cover it for them on the Day of Judgement, so that they will not be disgraced. They are not alone on the Day of Judgement, because when you are reading your book, you are not reading it alone by yourself in a room, but are rather amongst millions and millions of people reading it. So you are both ashamed and disgraced
in front everyone by what you have done. You are also suffering the punishment for it.
So if you are ashamed of it and repent for it in this world, Allah will say that He covered it for you. And likewise, He will cover it for them on the Day of Judgement, too. This is an important thing: everything is being written, and everything will be read, yet those things that Allah wants to be covered, they will be covered. So for all those who have committed sins, don’t say something wrong, and ask, “Why should I hide what Allah already knows?” Those are empty words, and are the sayings of Shaytan. It should stay [a secret just] between you and Allah. If you have repented from your sins, there is no need to mention them. So these ignorant people do not know, and they think that if they reveal things that we have done, maybe it's going to be lighter. They have such a thought, but that's the wrong thought. The sins are covered. The Holy Prophet says that if you have fallen into sin, cover it, hide it, and do not say, “I did this or that,” but rather repent and ask for forgiveness for those sins Insha Allah. May Allah protect us. May He protect us from sin, and may He forgive us, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
204.DUA OF KUFFAR Monday, 7 December 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. Allah ‘azza wa jalla says, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Wa-mā du‘āu l-kāfirīna illā fī 'alāl” (Qur’ān 13:14), sadaqa ‘Llahu l-‘Azīm. “
And the dua of kāfirīn [i.e., those who cover the truth] is nothing but an error.“ Dua, supplication, is a blessing given to us by Allah. It is special for Muslims.
Prayers of the kuffār have no effect. It does not matter whether they make dua or they don’t, because they do not accept the command of Allah. They can say as much as they want making dua supplicating or praying, but it has no value, it has no benefit. Allah gave this to Muslims. Allah gave this as a weapon. They are making so many weapons, but their weapons have no use in front of [a believer’s] dua. This weapon of dua is to protect ourselves, and for victory. We should always make good duas. “Well, I made dua, but it was not accepted.” Allah answers the dua of those who believe, the dua of Muslims, but not all of them are answered here. Some of them are left to be answered in the Next Life. These days the most important thing, and what we need the most, is dua. We need to make dua for each other, and to ask for others’ dua. This will have a great benefit for people.
Dua is the key to everything. Medicines too have benefit, but with dua. Most people take medicine, but then say that it did not work. That is why
we need to make dua, and to say that the medicine is from Allah, that you (He) gave it as a means, and so we find health through it. It is a means to help, and so that the means may have its [good] effect, we make dua. So that this sickness will go away. We need to make dua, so that evil and bad things will go away and stay away from us. That’s how we should make dua for everything. It is beneficial for all kinds of things. Allah 'azza wa jalla gave this blessing to people.
That’s why dua of kuffār is not answered. No matter how much they make dua. First of all they need to believe in Allah. They need to accept the commands and orders of Allah, and then their dua will be answered. This is the secret of this matter. That’s why sometimes those who are non- Muslims used to come and ask for dua. Why? Because theirs were of no benefit, and they heard that Muslims’ prayers are answered. We have seen many such people, have heard of many such people. They always came and asked for dua.
May Allah give them guidance so that their prayers can also be answered. We want good for people. And the greatest good that we can ask for people is to recognize Allah and accept Allah, to come to faith. May Allah give strength to our faith, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
205.BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY TOWARDS TRUSTS Tuesday, 8 December 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, “Innā ‘arad'nā l-amānata ‘alā s-samawāti wa-l-ar'i wa-l-jibāli fa-abayna an yahmilnahā wa-ashfaqna minhā wa-hamalahā l-insāna innahu kāna salūmān jahūlā” (Qur’ān 33:72)
“Indeed, We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they declined to bear it, being fearful of it, but Man took it upon himself. Indeed he truly oppressive and ignorant.”
Allah 'azza wa jalla says in the Holy Quran that,“ We offered the trust to the mountains and the rocks, whatever there is.” They did not accept it, because they knew how heavy it was, but the son of man an accepted it, considering it to be an easy matter. It is not easy. The mountains, the rocks, and the skies did not accept it. They did not want it. There declined the offer, because they said that they could not carry this burden. It says that the son of man is ignorant and cruel, because he said that he will carry it.
This is a beautiful trust. Allah has granted it to us as a blessing to the son of man. However, the son of man has breached the trust. He accepted it, but does not do what was supposed to be done in accordance with that trust. This is what is meant by “breach of trust”. When any trust is given, it needs to be protected and preserved. When someone gives you something to keep in trust, you have to protect it. When you make a
promise, that is a trust; when something is given, it is a trust; when you are with somebody, that person is also a trust. Everything is a trust. Sometimes the son of man misappropriates, and you then ask, “Why did he do such a thing?” Whoever did it will receive the harm caused by his misbehaving. This is the nature of man. This is how he is.
Allah ‘azza wa jalla says in the Holy Quran that “to betray the trust is the nature of the son of man.” This nature is corrected by means of Islam and the fear of Allah, but there are many people who misappropriate the trust and breach the trust. To keep the promise is a very important thing, because Allah ‘azza wa jalla, chose the son of man to carry that burden. Instead of carrying, though, they are breaching the trust. It is the result of his following Shaytan and his ego nafs. By doing so, they are not keeping the promise, not keeping it for its [rightful] owner. They are wasting it and not giving it value. If you attribute value [properly], you become valuable. For those who do not give value to it [i.e., the trust], they are at loss. May Allah protect us from that, but first Muslims should obey and keep the trust. The others, well we [already] know that they are kuffar, without faith, and off the path. The case is harder for people who say they are Muslim, but do not keep the trust. May Allah protect us. May Allah not make us follow our ego. May Allah strengthen our faith. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
206.WIN IN THE END Wednesday, 9 December 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 father Sheikh, Sheikh Nazim often said, “Do not worry too much for this world, for what is happening, all things are willed by Allah.”
Whatever Allah wills and has written, happens and will happen. Allah is the creator and these people are just a means.
Now they say this one did this, this one did that. There is no need to worry about other people. The real creator and the one who does things and causes things to happen is Allah. So there is no need to be upset about certain things that happen. As long as you are with Allah, in the end you are the victorious one; you will win. If not, if you are not with Allah, then you can be as anxious and worried as much as you want and like, but it is not going to benefit you at all.
Now the state of the world is this as we see now: the whole world is worried. Worried about what they should be doing, where we’re coming from, where we’re going, with “this one did that” and “that one did this.” Yes, people do things, but without the will of Allah nothing would happen.
Allah gives the person that permission to do things, whether it’s good or it’s bad. Allah is granting to people that they are able to do things. There are people who follow their ego and those who do not, but it's all from Allah. It is Allah’s predestination, something He willed to happen.
Something could be this way now, and it could be different from now on in the future. Yet whatever be the case, it is what Allah allows, and Allah wants us to submit to Him. “Don't be sad,” He says, “Don't be worried or anxious.” As long as you are with Allah, then you will win. Those who are not with Allah, those who are away from Allah and with Shaytan are the losers. Even if the whole world is within their hands and under their order, under their command, they will [only] win for a short period of time, [only] temporarily, and then forever, for eternity, they are at loss.
So people are anxious, but there is no need to be anxious. They are both losing their health, and some of them are losing their minds. Be with Allah to stay strong; everything is from Allah. We will return back to him. The things that He does are beautiful and good. There is the saying, “Let’s see what our Lord does, and whatever He does it will be good for good.” This is what the lovers and awliya of Allah say, and in fact it is like that. May Allah strengthen our faith, and the rest will be easy, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
207.MERCY THAT DOES NOT DESCEND Thursday, 10 December 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. Allah ‘azza wa jalla created everything beautifully, gave us time [itself] and gave everything its [own] time.
Every time has a different feature. Winter has a feature, a benefit, and there is another benefit in springtime, and another benefit in summer, another in autumn, and even from one month to another the special features and benefit changes. Allah ‘azza wa jalla gave sustenance for everything according to its season. What does it do? What is beneficial to man? He gave those things that season.
Now people talk without thinking and say that the weather is fine. The weather is nice in spring, [and yet] cold and rainy weather is nice in winter. But people find this or that air beautiful according to their own tastes. Of course, this cannot interfere with the will of Allah, but what Allah normally gives to this season now is for it to be cold and rainy. Allah's work is not interfered with, and this means that this [will] is what is right for the people present. People rejoice when the weather is nice and sunny, but it is sunny in summer. It is the same for these countries in winter, but it may be in other countries that Allah ‘azza wa jalla made them summer all year. Winter in our country must be cold and rainy.
Climate happens with the grace (lu"f) of Allah, and when it does not, that means there is something Allah does not want and does not like; it means that Allah did not send His mercy. In the past, they used to call rain a
mercy, and would say, “Mercy is raining.” Snow is more abundant [in mercy], and it brings down the blessings of Allah, angels descending with every snowflake and it stays on the ground with their blessings.
Foolish people also rejoice, saying “It's sunny, daily sunshine. How beautiful it is!” Allah ‘azza wa jalla also gives food according to the season. Allah has given every season foods that are what the human body needs to eat [then].
There are all kinds of summer vegetables and fruits, and they are eaten in summer. They benefit and strengthen the body. It is the same with winter. Of course, this is no longer the case, and people eat summer vegetables and fruits in winter. However, in the past, there were not many vegetables, but even so, there were pulses, and there was the tomato paste they had made during the summer. There was tarhana, and so on.
Things made from the blessings of summer benefit people, give strength, give immunity, strengthen the body, protect against diseases. They are eaten against all kinds of difficulties. Now you are looking, and this disease has appeared, and they say the nation has no immunity. Of course there is no immunity, because what people eat is of no use, like water. Water is actually more useful. Yet even in water they have not left its benefits, but rather filter them in factories and have people drink it that way without anything [healthy] left. So all kinds of things are like that. After that the wonder, “Why are these people getting sick suddenly? What shall we do? What shall we do?” No matter how much you can, you should turn to Allah and ask Him for help, because no one can change this in this season, neither America, nor Russia, nor the strongest countries in the world. No one should try to interfere with the seasons. They have gotten involved in everything, but they can’t manage it.
The kuffar are trying to do this too, and want [even] to cancel the sun. [Perhaps Shaykh Efendi is referring to a recent suggestion that we try to block some of the sun rays from reaching earth so as to reduce global warming. -Ed] I mean, it's nonsense, but the unbeliever always looks for
his own interests and doesn't care [even] if the whole world burns. May Allah help. May Allah protect us. As we said, Mawlana Sheikh Nazim (QS) would also say, "Eat the vegetables in their season." [Or] it might be fruit. Of course, they come forth again in their particular season, rather than in another, but they can endure by hiding here and there.
In the past, we used to store watermelons in the straw, and people kept apples. This practice is alright, but it doesn’t really benefit when vegetables are not in season. People have forgotten most things. They eat some particular thing and nothing else. There eat just a few kinds of vegetables, whereas there are dozens of edible vegetables to eat, but most do not eat them. They eat two or three kinds, and do not look at the rest. They say, “We cannot eat.” If you cannot eat it, then you will get sick, and your immunity will no longer exist. May Allah protect.
May Allah give intellect to humanity, so that they return to Allah and find the right way, insha’Allah. Returning to Allah is happiness both in this world and in the Hereafter.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
208.THE BELIEVERS ARE BROTHERS Friday, 11 December 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, “Innamā l-mu’minūna ikhwatun fa-aslihū bayna akhawākum wa-ttaqū Llāha la‘allakum turhamun (Qur’ān 49:10) says Allah ‘azza wa jalla. “The believers are a brotherhood, so reconcile amongst your brothers and be wary of Allah, so that perhaps you may receive mercy.”
Allah 'azza wa jalla says that Muslims are brothers. If there is a difference or a misunderstanding amongst them, then let them reconcile so that Allah’s mercy may descend upon you. There is no [such] mercy for non- believers, but [rather] punishment. The mu’mineen should love one another. Allah ‘azza wa jalla describes them as brothers, and there are hundreds of hadiths about believers being brothers of another.
Whatever one likes for oneself, one should like for one’s brother. Shaytan does not want this. On the contrary, he wants the relationship amongst them to be bad, and for them to fight each other, so that this mercy may not descend upon them. He leads them to harm one another, and to be envious of each other.
Envy is a characteristic of Shaytan. One could say, “I don’t have it, so he should not have it either.” But you should say, “May he also have it,” so that you may be at ease and comfortable and happy. But Shaytan wants their end to be in hell. A Muslim is merciful, because it is one of the sifat of Allah, but envy is from Shaytan. Nonbelievers have envy and harm.
Even if they act like they're doing good, their aim is different and in the end turns out evil. A mu’min wants good for people, and he wants goodness for everybody, whether they be Muslim or not. For non- Muslims, he wishes guidance for them so they may be guided. Muslims may pray for them, so that their end may be good.
There can be no bigger goodness than this: for them to be saved from non- belief, because when one is saved from non-belief, one is saved for eternity. If they’re not saved from non-belief for eternity, [it means] they will be unsaved and will be with Shaytan.
Allah has given intelligence to people, intellect to both Muslims and non- believers, to everybody, so that intellect needs to be used. The Muslim and mu'min should listen and not act according to whatever opinion pops into his head. If you do not want to do it, [then ask yourself] why you don’t want to do it. If a person is doing something wrong, then advise him. If you are doing wrong, then you have to fix yourself and control yourself. You have to say this one is a mu’min, a believer I should love him, because it’s the order, the command of Allah and the Prophet and the order of Islam. You need to break your nafs, get rid of that aversion from your heart, and remove that envy from your heart. When those are gone and removed, then you’ll be comfortable and at ease, because when they are in your heart there's no place for Allah in it. When there is Allah in your heart, then negative things are not in your heart. If your heart fills with the love of Allah, then these bad characteristics do not remain there.
May Allah give us His love in our hearts, insha’Allah, and may it be a means to strengthen our faith, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
209.RESOLUTE AVERSION IS A DUTY Saturday, 12 December 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 tarkanū ilā l-ladhīna salamū fa-tamassakumu n-nār” (Qur’ān 11:113). “And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the fire.” Allah 'azza wa jalla says, “Do not be with the oppressors or with the tyrants, otherwise the punishment of fire will reach you too.”
Who are the tyrants? Those who associate partners with Allah, those who do not accept Him. They are those who wage war against Allah. Who are those who wage war against Allah? It is clear, because we see the whole world is attacking Muslims, attacking Islam. Muslims have no value, because Muslims have no trust left in Allah, and because they are with the tyrants. They are in abasement, held in contempt, and the non- believers are playing with Muslims.
They [Muslims] are asking from where are these things coming to us? From where are these things happening to us? It is because they're not believing in Allah. They say they are Muslims, but they don’t believe in Allah. Instead, they trust in non-believers and are afraid of them. They do as they want even though they say that they are not; they have been like this since after the Ottomans. Whenever one raises his head, they cause so much trouble for him that they force him to be with them. But in the end, Allah will make victorious those who are with Him.
Allah says He gives time but that He doesn't forget. In the end, He will put question them, and then give them what they deserve.
These are the End Times, when all sorts of evil, bad things, filth, and dirty things are shown as right and as the truth, and as if they were normal. They are showing evil as good in everything. You are surprised wherever you look, as we see that they do the opposite of nature and what is natural. Yet the whole world is running after them, going after and following them. So you should not be with the zalimeen (those who oppress others and their own souls), rather be with the truth and what’s right. Even if others defame and vilify the truth and what is right, you need to be with what is true and what is right. At least in your heart you should be so, even if that considered the weakest level of faith (according to a hadith, that encourages one t
