Suhbah 2020: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (24/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5574
o fix things with your own hand, if possible). You can’t change anything with your hand, and can’t say anything your tongue, but be with the truth and what is right, and against unbelief, and grumble against them in your heart.
For a little benefit, for worldly benefit, they say they’re doing this, because they do such as such to us, because they are harming us. But let’s suppose we go along with them, no matter how much you give them they [never be satisfied and still] will take more. They want more, want to ride your back, to suck your blood. They want to “melt your bones”, and do all sorts of things. It will not end yet. You cannot even imagine what things Shaytan and his followers do, or how bad it is. The more you acknowledge them, the worse they become, worse and worse. So let there be an aversion towards them in your hearts, to these non-believers who are enemies of Allah. We need to be their enemy. We cannot go up and fight them and go into war with them, that’s unnecessary, and that’s not your duty. Nevertheless, your duty is to have a resolute aversion, and to say that what they're saying is wrong, that it's not good, that it's harmful, that it's not useful for us or for humanity. This is what you should hold continuously in your heart. It may help you be saved from the fire and from [divine] punishment and torture. If everyone were to do this, everyone would be comfortable and at ease, and Allah’s mercy would descend on us, and we would be with Allah. On the contrary, though, if
you are with the enemies of Allah, then you also are an enemy of Allah. Allah forbid that. May Allah send the Owner to us, and may our faith towards Allah increase.
May Allah cause our love for Him to increase, and may our aversion towards disbelievers increase.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
210.WITH FEET SECURELY PLANTED Sunday, 13 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, “Listen to what you have heard from us and act accordingly."
Man, as a matter of fact, [and even] the person of this time, can hear, listen and believe whenever something unnecessary comes up. But if you are to believe [wisely], you will believe is the word of Allah, Allah ‘azza wa jalla. If you believe in something else, it will be useless, you will be misled and [finally] destroyed.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Wa-inn tu"i‘ akthara man fī l-ār'i yu'illūka ‘an sabīli Llāh” (Qur’ān 6:116).
Allah ‘azza wa jalla says,“ If you listen to most people, they will cause you to stray from the path of Allah.” They will not bring you closer to the way of Allah. Everyone has an opinion, a thought. There are millions and billions of people, so if you try to listen to them, you will go astray. Allah ‘azza wa jalla's way is clear, however, His orders are clear, and they are about things that will directly benefit you. The rest are things of no value. There are few people who go along the way of Allah, and there are many who follow the way of Satan. "This guy said...Let’s go after this,” they says. There are those who live as Muslims, and now there are newly emerging groups and non-Muslims who are competing on the question of which one if the two is worse. Their ideas are competing to see how to get people to go astray and take them to Hell [more efficiently]. Those
who do not believe in Allah, they are nothing but harm, and they should be avoided. It is salvation to turn to Allah by not obeying yourself and your ego, for otherwise, you will be destroyed will go astray, [and these others] will evict you [from the path]. Millions, billions of people, who followed them have been destroyed.
If you have found the way, be careful, and do not deviate from that path. Do not hurt yourself by [listening to] their words and sayings. Do not be delusional. Do not doubt, but continue on the road. The most virtuous thing is to have a stable stance, and to continue on that path, even if you [happen to] worship less and do little good. You have found the right way, so do not deviate from the path of Allah. Control your soul, be firm; perseverance is important. Years ago, and now almost thirty years has passed since then, there was a brother from Damascus who was studying in Cyprus. He asked Sheikh Nazim Efendi, our father, “How will I be successful in things?" because he was reading, but could not read much. Shaykh Efendi said, "The secret is perseverance. If you persevere in everything, you will eventually succeed.” Our most important job is the work of the Hereafter. You found the way; persevere on that road. There are many who try to lead you astray, don't listen to them: save yourself first. Do not cause yourself to perish by saying that I will save someone else. Do not go astray.
May Allah protect us. May Allah strengthen our beliefs. We hope for persistence.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
211.RELY ON ALLAH Monday, 14 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, (Qur’ān 65:03). Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose.
Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.’ When people don’t rely on Allah, they panic and wonder what to do. There’s no need to be surprised or worried. What Allah says will happen and whoever is with Allah will win. Those who are against Allah will lose. Even if the whole world was against Allah, they cannot make even a little progress or win. Not just the whole world but even if the whole universe is against Allah, they still cannot do anything. If they are with Allah, even if they cannot do anything, they are still in gain and in goodness.
Therefore, the state of the world today is ruining people’s morale. Sometimes they lose hope in Allah, but Allah says to not lose hope in Him. Allah is with you. And as long as He’s with you, you are in gain in every situation. As long as you have Iman and you trust in Allah, He will help you. People these days, Muslims and non-Muslims, are losing their morale. Whereas Muslims should have a higher morale. Allah exists so there’s no fear for those who are with Allah. Allah is The Everlasting, so whoever is with Allah is always in gain.
May Allah give us strong Iman. May Allah protect us from such states. The hopeless ones are the Kafirs, those who don’t believe in Allah. Allah told us that we’re not going to stay in this world forever.
Everyone is leaving to the hereafter; that’s where people will go. May Allah have mercy on those who’ve passed away and give the rest of us Iman and safety Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
212.ALLAH’S ORDER Tuesday, 15 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 that when you conduct business, make a deal or a sale, where “this was this, and that was that,” make sure to write it down.
“Fa-ktubū wa-l-yaktub baynakum kātib” (Qur’ān 2:282). Allah 'azza wa jalla states this in the Holy Quran. Why is he saying this? Because it is the nature of humans to forget. Some people use that as an excuse. They then say I did not say that, you said this, and thus there might always be a disagreement. In the time of the Holy Prophet, there weren’t very many people who knew how to read and write, but he said this anyway. In those days, though, people were not as forgetful as are people today, and they were also more honest. But again this [rule] applies to everybody, and applies for everybody. He says write whatever you have agreed on, so that there will not be a disagreement afterwards, and so that you may neither be wronged nor commit a sin by infringing on the rights of others.
This problem occurs a lot nowadays, and people come to us and say that they have made such and such deal with someone and gave him money, but that he’s not giving it back. Do you have anything written? They say no. They ask, “Pray for us.”
You have not done what Allah commands you, and now we say that you can only get your rights on the Day of Judgement. What they saying as a figure of speech, we have been saying the same so many times,
repeatedly. They say they knew the person well. That’s the point though: [usually] it doesn’t happen with strangers, but mostly happens with the people you know already, such as your relatives, close friends, people you trust. So this issue is important. Why is it important? Because both of you are giving an opportunity to others to commit sin. Even if you do not sin, you are not obeying the command of Allah. There is a direct command of Allah that when you have a business deal, write it down.
Only a few people actually write it though. They claim they trusted each other. But the next day, people forget, or five minutes later Shaytan comes to his mind, and his ego comes up, and he says that you gave him too little, that you were not supposed to give that amount and this is not fair. He says that he is being wronged and deserves more. According to him it was from the the second day that the niyyet started. So to keep things clear and stable, you need something in writing and you should each keep a copy of the agreement. Then you have an agreement, and you both know what's written, and you can say, “Okay, this is what we said.” Then I can't back down from it. This is his right. We did not forget, there is no lie here. Insha’Allah, we will do so. Otherwise, no matter how much a person trusts himself, most of the time he finds excuses such as that he forgot or misunderstood.
"Allama l-insāna mā lam ya‘lam” (Qur’ān 96:5) “He [Allah] taught man what he had not known.”
Allah 'azza wa jalla created us, and knows how He created us. He knows also that He gave us an individual self (nafs), and also that the whispering of Shaytan is there. Allah 'azza wa jalla created us and He knows every detail about us, so He has taught us beautiful and good things for this world and for the Hereafter, down to the smallest details, so we might not make mistakes. He has taught us everything. [About] whatever we do, He has informed us of all of His commands through our Holy Prophet, and those who follow these commands, and obey them, will neither lose here or hereafter. Those who don’t listen lose here and hereafter.
May Allah keep us safe from that [loss]. May He make us succeed in doing these things, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
213.THE TRUTH AND FALSE ARE CLEAR Wednesday, 16 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, (Qur’ān 02:256) Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.’ Truth is clear and falsehood is clear. Those who believe in Allah and are connected to Him win. ‘Taghut’ is unbelief, it means the oppressors. Those who do not submit to them and do not believe them but are with Allah are the winners. Their rope is strong, so hold on to that rope so that you’ll also win in the end. Those who are with the oppressors are always in harm. They harm themselves and others because they no longer have conscience, Iman, or anything left anymore. They don’t care about anything, even if all the people are gone so that they achieve their purpose. They don’t think about anything but their egos. What they do is also wrong. Those who believe them and are with them are hypocrites.
Hypocrites existed during the time of the Holy Prophet too. They’re in the lowest pits of hell because you can [clearly] know who the Kafir is; he is in front of you. But you can’t know the hypocrite. They go and tell the enemy, the Kafirs, what you’re doing. Their harm is much greater. That’s why, even though our Holy Prophet knew who they were most of the time, Allah didn’t want to reveal them. He wanted them to repent themselves.
Even since that time, they were amongst our Holy Prophet. Now they are a hundred thousand times, a million times more. They think they will gain something, but they are losing. They say that they are Muslims but they are hypocrites. The hypocrite is the one who harms Muslims. They can’t harm Islam but they’re harming Muslims. Yet that harm is actually to themselves. The torment they inflict on Muslims is written as a reward for Muslims but as a sin for them. Don’t be fooled by others and become hypocrites. Don’t let your religion go in vain in the end. Because in the end it’s going to be a heavy burden. We should be careful of this.
The most important thing is to follow the path of our Holy Prophet, and oppose those who are against Him and not to follow them. Unfortunately, people are being deceived. And when they are deceived they think that they’re right. What is right is clear. Allah states in the Holy Quran ‘The right course has become clear from the wrong.’ (Qur’ān 02:256). The truth is clear and the false is clear. Apart from this, the person who sees the truth as false is foolish. And the one who sees the false as the truth is also mindless. The truth is like the sun. Thank Allah, He has shown it to all humanity. But do not follow those who close their eyes, are blind, and say that there’s no sun.
May Allah protect us. May Allah help us and may He strengthen our Iman.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
214.HELP OTHERS FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH Thursday, 17 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. The Holy Prophet says,“ Whom does Allah help? He helps the mu’mins and the Muslims. The one who helps and keeps helping his brother in Islam, Allah helps that person.
Islam is the religion of goodness, and help should be done for the sake of Allah, not for one’s own benefit. This is what Islam teaches: not for one’s own benefit. When it is done for one’s own benefit, it becomes riyā', something for show and not for the sake of Allah. Allah’s help does not come [in such cases]. Thank Allah that our ancestors [even] up until now have been dedicated to helping everyone else and Islam. That’s why Allah has been still helping them. Help comes from Allah, and when it does come, everything becomes good. If you seek help and ask it from someone else, then there is no benefit. You just get embarrassed and nothing else. You should not ask help from the non-believers but from Allah, and Allah will help you. He gives when you serve Him.
Thank Allah that coming from our ancestors today also they are helping Muslims and others. Individually, as a government, and as a nation. Wherever people are in need of help, they help them. That’s why Allah’s help is with us. As long as He helps us, we need nothing else, no one else. Neither from other countries nor from anyone else. Allah will make them all come to your feet and serve you. As long as you start with serving others, also that help will reach you.
This is why a Muslim, a mu’min, should take our Holy Prophet’s words as glad tidings. One must believe it.
There might come hardships, however, with the help of Allah, everything can be overcome, and hardships can go away easily. It is said that these are hard times, yet with the help of Allah nothing is difficult. Trust in Allah and help others for the sake of Allah. So as to receive the help of Allah, let’s help everyone, Insha Allah. May Allah be pleased with all of us. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
215.THERE IS OPPORTUNITY Friday, 18 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. It’s the day of Friday, may it be blessed for Muslims. Friday for Muslims is a barakah, a blessing, a gift from Allah. We have Jumah prayer on this day.
Allah tells us at the time of prayer to leave everything, whatever we are buying or selling, and to turn to Him. He doesn’t want us to do anything else. This is for those who are obligated for the Friday prayers. This means those who are man with proper mental functioning, those who have reached adult maturity. Women are not obligated for this; they can pray at home.
Men for five to ten minutes must reserve that time for Allah. Within that time it is sin to sell or to shop. [After all], this is only ten minutes’ time every seven days. This is in the wisdom of Allah. Allah wanted it that way, and whosoever respects it will win. Whoever doesn’t, even though he thinks he might be winning, he is actually losing.
Sometimes contradictory things happen and the man who might not have been able to sell anything the whole day [up until that time], and then right at the time of Jumah prayer a customer can comes and the man misses his Friday prayer. It means that customer is not a good customer [for him]; he’s a customer sent by Shaytan. For this reason, let’s be careful with Friday. It’s not acceptable to miss Friday prayer without excuse. If you are traveling or have any other excuse such as sickness, then you are
excused, but those who miss it without an excuse are losing. There are some people who [only] pray on Fridays and some pray only Eid prayers. That is the lowest or the weakest of faith. It is possible to get used to doing that, but sometimes they forget because they [just] pray from one Friday to the next, or one Eid to the next, they can forget, and even this becomes difficult for them.
Most people do not do; they’re not following Allah’s commands. They think that they are gaining something, but in actuality they have no idea how much they’re losing. Had they only known what they were losing, they would regret it. If they are able to regret it and be sorry, that’s good, but when it’s left for the Hereafter, then regrets are of no use.
For every salat they have missed, they will pray for 80 years with difficulty. In this world the salat you have missed cannot be made up, if it was missed without an excuse, just for the fun of it. Such is its value. People aren’t aware of how much they are missing.
Sometimes they regret it for the rest of their lives, and thus spend their whole life in regrets saying, “I wish I had done this! I could have made so much money! Things were so cheap, and I could have bought it for such a [low] price and sold for that [high] price!” They feel regret, but missing such things indicates that it wasn’t meant for you, and since it wasn’t written for you, there’s no point regretting it. It’s done; it’s gone; it’s not something intelligent to think about. It is in the past. So although you are grateful about some things in the past, such as for these worldly things, you are also losing a lot of things for the Hereafter.
As we said in dunya such happens. If it’s meant to happen for you, its written, but for the Hereafter you yourself are the one losing the benefit. You have the opportunity and the chance for the Hereafter. For worldly things, it’s already gone and finished, but for the Hereafter Allah is giving you an opportunity. You can make up for them; you still have the opportunity. You still have a chance to make up for missed prayers. or if you cannot make up for missed prayers, at least have regret, between you and Allah. Allah is capable of everything. He is Al-Rahmān, Al-Rahîm,
the Most Merciful. He is Allah. He might forgive you for it, if you make a sincere repentance.
Allah has given all sorts of opportunities to people, but the son of man does not want what is useful for himself, and instead wants bad things for himself, things that are harmful for himself, and then he thinks he is smart, that he is clever. They act with this [false] “cleverness”, and try to show these ways to other people also.
May Allah protect us from such things. May Allah strengthen our faith, and give us strength and spiritual support, so we may pray, so we may offer our salat. We need Him for this support, for this spiritual support, for otherwise all of the laziness in the world would be on a person’s shoulders. They then say, “I can’t do it. It’s heavy. It’s hard,” and they don’t do it—there are many excuses! Excuses are plenty. If it were to benefit others, all right you could make an excuse, but to make an excuse and lose your own benefit is foolishness. If you look at it from the point of logic, this is your own foolishness.
May Allah give common sense to people. May they do good and keep away from bad, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
216.A GOOD END Saturday, 19 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. The Dua of our Holy Prophet, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, May the end of all of our works be good. The most important work of ours is this life. May we leave this life with a good end and with Iman; that is important. Whether with a disease or other, it’s not important. What’s important is to leave unchanged with Iman. A person shouldn’t trust himself too much. He should trust in Allah so that he may be protected. If a person is left to himself, then he cannot defeat his ego.
His ego will defeat him . Turn to Allah make Dua and constantly ask for help from Allah. We shouldn’t forget Allah. If we are with Allah, then our end will certainly be good. Everything will end good, Allah willing. A person who believes and trusts in Allah, doesn’t forget Allah. He doesn’t say that he has done things himself. We are with Allah in every minute, every moment and every second so that we can defeat our ego. May Allah help us defeat our ego. Otherwise if you forget, then your end will not be good. This applies to all works, whether works of this world or the hereafter. They say, “I’m praying” while those who pray deceive more. We see it all over the world, those who claim to be Muslims are the ones who are harming Muslims the most, they’re doing more harm than unbelievers.
Therefore, in order not to be from such people, beg Allah every minute and every moment. We should make Dua saying, “May our end be good. We ask for Your help. Everything we do is done by Your will. Help us to
be on the right way so that our end is good.” May Allah protect us. May everything we do be good. May we be with Allah in every moment and every second. May we always remember Him insha’Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
217.A WAR BETWEEN UNBELIEF AND FAITH Sunday, 20 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. A believer’s test is in this world. The world is the place of tests for the believer and it is the heaven of the unbelievers, they say. How would it be heaven in this world? Because the place where the unbelievers will go is Hell. So no matter how bad it is here, it’s still as a heaven compared to hell. Therefore, no matter how many tests and difficulties a believer faces, it is also useful for him; there’s nothing useless.
The unbelievers never stop disobeying Allah. They don’t obey Allah’s orders. They also keep a grudge against those who are with Allah and who believe in Allah. They’re always attacking them. All their lifetime, they think: “How should I torture them?”. Those who are like them do the same thing. All they do is think day and night: “How can we be enemies to those Muslims and to Islam? How can we torture them?”. Believers and Muslims should not give them too much importance and should ignore them. “They said this and that to us”. This is normal, they don’t have anything else to do. Never think that they will do you good. Even if they do good, we should think about the reason they did this for. Otherwise, there is no need to be so upset.
Since the time of Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, believers have suffered and nothing has changed. It is a war between unbelief and faith. Unbelievers use all kinds of means. They have a famous saying that says, "Any means is permissible to achieve the goal." They say, “Do what you want, don’t stop yourself from anything. Shame, sin, oppression, you can do all kinds
of things until you reach your goal.” They said this for communism; but for everything else, it is normal for them to use every means. What a believer should do is to be patient, not to listen to them and not to follow the way they are showing. Whether they say that it’s humans’ rights or something else, do not listen to them. Otherwise, you will suffer the punishment in this world and in the hereafter, and it will be of no use for you. We’re in this world and it’s a place of tests. It is a bit difficult as it is a place of tests but the end of this test will be good for those who are patient. For those who are firm on the path of truth, their end is in heaven, their end will be good. While for those who deviate from the path, it’s hard. It’ll be full of regret and their end will be bad. May Allah protect us. Even though the whole world is in your hands, if you say in the hereafter that you would give it all so that you may be saved, you cannot do anything and it will be of no use. Allah says this in the Holy Qur’an. That’s why, we shouldn’t think of this world as something important or run after those who rule this world, it is not a smart thing to do so. Be with those who are on the way of Allah. And be enemies to those who are enemies of Allah. How are you going to be enemies to them? They are not our friends. They are our enemies because they also consider us enemies, and in the same way we also see them as enemies then.
May Allah protect us. We are in the end of times, there are more tests and more difficulties, but those who are with Allah never have difficulties. May Allah give strength to our Iman. May we be firm on this way Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
218.THE RELIGION OF MERCY Monday, 21 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. The basis of Islam is mercy. Mercy is the attribute of Islam, it’s the attribute of Allah. People should be merciful. It is an order for Muslims anyway. Our Holy Prophet says “Have mercy on those on earth so that He Who is in heaven will have mercy on you.” Islam is the religion of mercy, compassion and help to people. Those that are outside of it should be like that too but they’re hypocrites, liars, traitors, and they do not have mercy. They act with hypocrisy. They show Islam as a bad and oppressing religion. Where as Islam is a religion of mercy. They know everything clearly, but since they are the soldiers of shaytan they show evil as good. They say that they’re doing good and they are not oppressing. The evil they do will not remain. But they show Islam as bad so that people stay away from it. In the end, Allah will show the truth. It is the end of times now, oppression has increased. The Sahib will come and everything will be clear. The truth will win. We are sad and people are sad when the truth is shown as bad. But the truth is the truth. The false will never overcome the truth. Allah willing, this truth will come out soon insha’Allah and all the oppressors will be erased from this world. It is the promise of Allah to our Holy Prophet.
Everywhere will be full of light, it will be illuminated with the light of Islam Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
219.HURRY TO DO GOOD Tuesday, 22 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 Mashayikh

o fix things with your own hand, if possible). You can’t change anything with your hand, and can’t say anything your tongue, but be with the truth and what is right, and against unbelief, and grumble against them in your heart.
For a little benefit, for worldly benefit, they say they’re doing this, because they do such as such to us, because they are harming us. But let’s suppose we go along with them, no matter how much you give them they [never be satisfied and still] will take more. They want more, want to ride your back, to suck your blood. They want to “melt your bones”, and do all sorts of things. It will not end yet. You cannot even imagine what things Shaytan and his followers do, or how bad it is. The more you acknowledge them, the worse they become, worse and worse. So let there be an aversion towards them in your hearts, to these non-believers who are enemies of Allah. We need to be their enemy. We cannot go up and fight them and go into war with them, that’s unnecessary, and that’s not your duty. Nevertheless, your duty is to have a resolute aversion, and to say that what they're saying is wrong, that it's not good, that it's harmful, that it's not useful for us or for humanity. This is what you should hold continuously in your heart. It may help you be saved from the fire and from [divine] punishment and torture. If everyone were to do this, everyone would be comfortable and at ease, and Allah’s mercy would descend on us, and we would be with Allah. On the contrary, though, if
you are with the enemies of Allah, then you also are an enemy of Allah. Allah forbid that. May Allah send the Owner to us, and may our faith towards Allah increase.
May Allah cause our love for Him to increase, and may our aversion towards disbelievers increase.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
210.WITH FEET SECURELY PLANTED Sunday, 13 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, “Listen to what you have heard from us and act accordingly."
Man, as a matter of fact, [and even] the person of this time, can hear, listen and believe whenever something unnecessary comes up. But if you are to believe [wisely], you will believe is the word of Allah, Allah ‘azza wa jalla. If you believe in something else, it will be useless, you will be misled and [finally] destroyed.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, “Wa-inn tu"i‘ akthara man fī l-ār'i yu'illūka ‘an sabīli Llāh” (Qur’ān 6:116).
Allah ‘azza wa jalla says,“ If you listen to most people, they will cause you to stray from the path of Allah.” They will not bring you closer to the way of Allah. Everyone has an opinion, a thought. There are millions and billions of people, so if you try to listen to them, you will go astray. Allah ‘azza wa jalla's way is clear, however, His orders are clear, and they are about things that will directly benefit you. The rest are things of no value. There are few people who go along the way of Allah, and there are many who follow the way of Satan. "This guy said...Let’s go after this,” they says. There are those who live as Muslims, and now there are newly emerging groups and non-Muslims who are competing on the question of which one if the two is worse. Their ideas are competing to see how to get people to go astray and take them to Hell [more efficiently]. Those
who do not believe in Allah, they are nothing but harm, and they should be avoided. It is salvation to turn to Allah by not obeying yourself and your ego, for otherwise, you will be destroyed will go astray, [and these others] will evict you [from the path]. Millions, billions of people, who followed them have been destroyed.
If you have found the way, be careful, and do not deviate from that path. Do not hurt yourself by [listening to] their words and sayings. Do not be delusional. Do not doubt, but continue on the road. The most virtuous thing is to have a stable stance, and to continue on that path, even if you [happen to] worship less and do little good. You have found the right way, so do not deviate from the path of Allah. Control your soul, be firm; perseverance is important. Years ago, and now almost thirty years has passed since then, there was a brother from Damascus who was studying in Cyprus. He asked Sheikh Nazim Efendi, our father, “How will I be successful in things?" because he was reading, but could not read much. Shaykh Efendi said, "The secret is perseverance. If you persevere in everything, you will eventually succeed.” Our most important job is the work of the Hereafter. You found the way; persevere on that road. There are many who try to lead you astray, don't listen to them: save yourself first. Do not cause yourself to perish by saying that I will save someone else. Do not go astray.
May Allah protect us. May Allah strengthen our beliefs. We hope for persistence.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
211.RELY ON ALLAH Monday, 14 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, (Qur’ān 65:03). Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose.
Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.’ When people don’t rely on Allah, they panic and wonder what to do. There’s no need to be surprised or worried. What Allah says will happen and whoever is with Allah will win. Those who are against Allah will lose. Even if the whole world was against Allah, they cannot make even a little progress or win. Not just the whole world but even if the whole universe is against Allah, they still cannot do anything. If they are with Allah, even if they cannot do anything, they are still in gain and in goodness.
Therefore, the state of the world today is ruining people’s morale. Sometimes they lose hope in Allah, but Allah says to not lose hope in Him. Allah is with you. And as long as He’s with you, you are in gain in every situation. As long as you have Iman and you trust in Allah, He will help you. People these days, Muslims and non-Muslims, are losing their morale. Whereas Muslims should have a higher morale. Allah exists so there’s no fear for those who are with Allah. Allah is The Everlasting, so whoever is with Allah is always in gain.
May Allah give us strong Iman. May Allah protect us from such states. The hopeless ones are the Kafirs, those who don’t believe in Allah. Allah told us that we’re not going to stay in this world forever.
Everyone is leaving to the hereafter; that’s where people will go. May Allah have mercy on those who’ve passed away and give the rest of us Iman and safety Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
212.ALLAH’S ORDER Tuesday, 15 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 that when you conduct business, make a deal or a sale, where “this was this, and that was that,” make sure to write it down.
“Fa-ktubū wa-l-yaktub baynakum kātib” (Qur’ān 2:282). Allah 'azza wa jalla states this in the Holy Quran. Why is he saying this? Because it is the nature of humans to forget. Some people use that as an excuse. They then say I did not say that, you said this, and thus there might always be a disagreement. In the time of the Holy Prophet, there weren’t very many people who knew how to read and write, but he said this anyway. In those days, though, people were not as forgetful as are people today, and they were also more honest. But again this [rule] applies to everybody, and applies for everybody. He says write whatever you have agreed on, so that there will not be a disagreement afterwards, and so that you may neither be wronged nor commit a sin by infringing on the rights of others.
This problem occurs a lot nowadays, and people come to us and say that they have made such and such deal with someone and gave him money, but that he’s not giving it back. Do you have anything written? They say no. They ask, “Pray for us.”
You have not done what Allah commands you, and now we say that you can only get your rights on the Day of Judgement. What they saying as a figure of speech, we have been saying the same so many times,
repeatedly. They say they knew the person well. That’s the point though: [usually] it doesn’t happen with strangers, but mostly happens with the people you know already, such as your relatives, close friends, people you trust. So this issue is important. Why is it important? Because both of you are giving an opportunity to others to commit sin. Even if you do not sin, you are not obeying the command of Allah. There is a direct command of Allah that when you have a business deal, write it down.
Only a few people actually write it though. They claim they trusted each other. But the next day, people forget, or five minutes later Shaytan comes to his mind, and his ego comes up, and he says that you gave him too little, that you were not supposed to give that amount and this is not fair. He says that he is being wronged and deserves more. According to him it was from the the second day that the niyyet started. So to keep things clear and stable, you need something in writing and you should each keep a copy of the agreement. Then you have an agreement, and you both know what's written, and you can say, “Okay, this is what we said.” Then I can't back down from it. This is his right. We did not forget, there is no lie here. Insha’Allah, we will do so. Otherwise, no matter how much a person trusts himself, most of the time he finds excuses such as that he forgot or misunderstood.
"Allama l-insāna mā lam ya‘lam” (Qur’ān 96:5) “He [Allah] taught man what he had not known.”
Allah 'azza wa jalla created us, and knows how He created us. He knows also that He gave us an individual self (nafs), and also that the whispering of Shaytan is there. Allah 'azza wa jalla created us and He knows every detail about us, so He has taught us beautiful and good things for this world and for the Hereafter, down to the smallest details, so we might not make mistakes. He has taught us everything. [About] whatever we do, He has informed us of all of His commands through our Holy Prophet, and those who follow these commands, and obey them, will neither lose here or hereafter. Those who don’t listen lose here and hereafter.
May Allah keep us safe from that [loss]. May He make us succeed in doing these things, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
213.THE TRUTH AND FALSE ARE CLEAR Wednesday, 16 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, (Qur’ān 02:256) Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.’ Truth is clear and falsehood is clear. Those who believe in Allah and are connected to Him win. ‘Taghut’ is unbelief, it means the oppressors. Those who do not submit to them and do not believe them but are with Allah are the winners. Their rope is strong, so hold on to that rope so that you’ll also win in the end. Those who are with the oppressors are always in harm. They harm themselves and others because they no longer have conscience, Iman, or anything left anymore. They don’t care about anything, even if all the people are gone so that they achieve their purpose. They don’t think about anything but their egos. What they do is also wrong. Those who believe them and are with them are hypocrites.
Hypocrites existed during the time of the Holy Prophet too. They’re in the lowest pits of hell because you can [clearly] know who the Kafir is; he is in front of you. But you can’t know the hypocrite. They go and tell the enemy, the Kafirs, what you’re doing. Their harm is much greater. That’s why, even though our Holy Prophet knew who they were most of the time, Allah didn’t want to reveal them. He wanted them to repent themselves.
Even since that time, they were amongst our Holy Prophet. Now they are a hundred thousand times, a million times more. They think they will gain something, but they are losing. They say that they are Muslims but they are hypocrites. The hypocrite is the one who harms Muslims. They can’t harm Islam but they’re harming Muslims. Yet that harm is actually to themselves. The torment they inflict on Muslims is written as a reward for Muslims but as a sin for them. Don’t be fooled by others and become hypocrites. Don’t let your religion go in vain in the end. Because in the end it’s going to be a heavy burden. We should be careful of this.
The most important thing is to follow the path of our Holy Prophet, and oppose those who are against Him and not to follow them. Unfortunately, people are being deceived. And when they are deceived they think that they’re right. What is right is clear. Allah states in the Holy Quran ‘The right course has become clear from the wrong.’ (Qur’ān 02:256). The truth is clear and the false is clear. Apart from this, the person who sees the truth as false is foolish. And the one who sees the false as the truth is also mindless. The truth is like the sun. Thank Allah, He has shown it to all humanity. But do not follow those who close their eyes, are blind, and say that there’s no sun.
May Allah protect us. May Allah help us and may He strengthen our Iman.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
214.HELP OTHERS FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH Thursday, 17 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. The Holy Prophet says,“ Whom does Allah help? He helps the mu’mins and the Muslims. The one who helps and keeps helping his brother in Islam, Allah helps that person.
Islam is the religion of goodness, and help should be done for the sake of Allah, not for one’s own benefit. This is what Islam teaches: not for one’s own benefit. When it is done for one’s own benefit, it becomes riyā', something for show and not for the sake of Allah. Allah’s help does not come [in such cases]. Thank Allah that our ancestors [even] up until now have been dedicated to helping everyone else and Islam. That’s why Allah has been still helping them. Help comes from Allah, and when it does come, everything becomes good. If you seek help and ask it from someone else, then there is no benefit. You just get embarrassed and nothing else. You should not ask help from the non-believers but from Allah, and Allah will help you. He gives when you serve Him.
Thank Allah that coming from our ancestors today also they are helping Muslims and others. Individually, as a government, and as a nation. Wherever people are in need of help, they help them. That’s why Allah’s help is with us. As long as He helps us, we need nothing else, no one else. Neither from other countries nor from anyone else. Allah will make them all come to your feet and serve you. As long as you start with serving others, also that help will reach you.
This is why a Muslim, a mu’min, should take our Holy Prophet’s words as glad tidings. One must believe it.
There might come hardships, however, with the help of Allah, everything can be overcome, and hardships can go away easily. It is said that these are hard times, yet with the help of Allah nothing is difficult. Trust in Allah and help others for the sake of Allah. So as to receive the help of Allah, let’s help everyone, Insha Allah. May Allah be pleased with all of us. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
215.THERE IS OPPORTUNITY Friday, 18 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. It’s the day of Friday, may it be blessed for Muslims. Friday for Muslims is a barakah, a blessing, a gift from Allah. We have Jumah prayer on this day.
Allah tells us at the time of prayer to leave everything, whatever we are buying or selling, and to turn to Him. He doesn’t want us to do anything else. This is for those who are obligated for the Friday prayers. This means those who are man with proper mental functioning, those who have reached adult maturity. Women are not obligated for this; they can pray at home.
Men for five to ten minutes must reserve that time for Allah. Within that time it is sin to sell or to shop. [After all], this is only ten minutes’ time every seven days. This is in the wisdom of Allah. Allah wanted it that way, and whosoever respects it will win. Whoever doesn’t, even though he thinks he might be winning, he is actually losing.
Sometimes contradictory things happen and the man who might not have been able to sell anything the whole day [up until that time], and then right at the time of Jumah prayer a customer can comes and the man misses his Friday prayer. It means that customer is not a good customer [for him]; he’s a customer sent by Shaytan. For this reason, let’s be careful with Friday. It’s not acceptable to miss Friday prayer without excuse. If you are traveling or have any other excuse such as sickness, then you are
excused, but those who miss it without an excuse are losing. There are some people who [only] pray on Fridays and some pray only Eid prayers. That is the lowest or the weakest of faith. It is possible to get used to doing that, but sometimes they forget because they [just] pray from one Friday to the next, or one Eid to the next, they can forget, and even this becomes difficult for them.
Most people do not do; they’re not following Allah’s commands. They think that they are gaining something, but in actuality they have no idea how much they’re losing. Had they only known what they were losing, they would regret it. If they are able to regret it and be sorry, that’s good, but when it’s left for the Hereafter, then regrets are of no use.
For every salat they have missed, they will pray for 80 years with difficulty. In this world the salat you have missed cannot be made up, if it was missed without an excuse, just for the fun of it. Such is its value. People aren’t aware of how much they are missing.
Sometimes they regret it for the rest of their lives, and thus spend their whole life in regrets saying, “I wish I had done this! I could have made so much money! Things were so cheap, and I could have bought it for such a [low] price and sold for that [high] price!” They feel regret, but missing such things indicates that it wasn’t meant for you, and since it wasn’t written for you, there’s no point regretting it. It’s done; it’s gone; it’s not something intelligent to think about. It is in the past. So although you are grateful about some things in the past, such as for these worldly things, you are also losing a lot of things for the Hereafter.
As we said in dunya such happens. If it’s meant to happen for you, its written, but for the Hereafter you yourself are the one losing the benefit. You have the opportunity and the chance for the Hereafter. For worldly things, it’s already gone and finished, but for the Hereafter Allah is giving you an opportunity. You can make up for them; you still have the opportunity. You still have a chance to make up for missed prayers. or if you cannot make up for missed prayers, at least have regret, between you and Allah. Allah is capable of everything. He is Al-Rahmān, Al-Rahîm,
the Most Merciful. He is Allah. He might forgive you for it, if you make a sincere repentance.
Allah has given all sorts of opportunities to people, but the son of man does not want what is useful for himself, and instead wants bad things for himself, things that are harmful for himself, and then he thinks he is smart, that he is clever. They act with this [false] “cleverness”, and try to show these ways to other people also.
May Allah protect us from such things. May Allah strengthen our faith, and give us strength and spiritual support, so we may pray, so we may offer our salat. We need Him for this support, for this spiritual support, for otherwise all of the laziness in the world would be on a person’s shoulders. They then say, “I can’t do it. It’s heavy. It’s hard,” and they don’t do it—there are many excuses! Excuses are plenty. If it were to benefit others, all right you could make an excuse, but to make an excuse and lose your own benefit is foolishness. If you look at it from the point of logic, this is your own foolishness.
May Allah give common sense to people. May they do good and keep away from bad, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
216.A GOOD END Saturday, 19 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. The Dua of our Holy Prophet, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, May the end of all of our works be good. The most important work of ours is this life. May we leave this life with a good end and with Iman; that is important. Whether with a disease or other, it’s not important. What’s important is to leave unchanged with Iman. A person shouldn’t trust himself too much. He should trust in Allah so that he may be protected. If a person is left to himself, then he cannot defeat his ego.
His ego will defeat him . Turn to Allah make Dua and constantly ask for help from Allah. We shouldn’t forget Allah. If we are with Allah, then our end will certainly be good. Everything will end good, Allah willing. A person who believes and trusts in Allah, doesn’t forget Allah. He doesn’t say that he has done things himself. We are with Allah in every minute, every moment and every second so that we can defeat our ego. May Allah help us defeat our ego. Otherwise if you forget, then your end will not be good. This applies to all works, whether works of this world or the hereafter. They say, “I’m praying” while those who pray deceive more. We see it all over the world, those who claim to be Muslims are the ones who are harming Muslims the most, they’re doing more harm than unbelievers.
Therefore, in order not to be from such people, beg Allah every minute and every moment. We should make Dua saying, “May our end be good. We ask for Your help. Everything we do is done by Your will. Help us to
be on the right way so that our end is good.” May Allah protect us. May everything we do be good. May we be with Allah in every moment and every second. May we always remember Him insha’Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
217.A WAR BETWEEN UNBELIEF AND FAITH Sunday, 20 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. A believer’s test is in this world. The world is the place of tests for the believer and it is the heaven of the unbelievers, they say. How would it be heaven in this world? Because the place where the unbelievers will go is Hell. So no matter how bad it is here, it’s still as a heaven compared to hell. Therefore, no matter how many tests and difficulties a believer faces, it is also useful for him; there’s nothing useless.
The unbelievers never stop disobeying Allah. They don’t obey Allah’s orders. They also keep a grudge against those who are with Allah and who believe in Allah. They’re always attacking them. All their lifetime, they think: “How should I torture them?”. Those who are like them do the same thing. All they do is think day and night: “How can we be enemies to those Muslims and to Islam? How can we torture them?”. Believers and Muslims should not give them too much importance and should ignore them. “They said this and that to us”. This is normal, they don’t have anything else to do. Never think that they will do you good. Even if they do good, we should think about the reason they did this for. Otherwise, there is no need to be so upset.
Since the time of Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, believers have suffered and nothing has changed. It is a war between unbelief and faith. Unbelievers use all kinds of means. They have a famous saying that says, "Any means is permissible to achieve the goal." They say, “Do what you want, don’t stop yourself from anything. Shame, sin, oppression, you can do all kinds
of things until you reach your goal.” They said this for communism; but for everything else, it is normal for them to use every means. What a believer should do is to be patient, not to listen to them and not to follow the way they are showing. Whether they say that it’s humans’ rights or something else, do not listen to them. Otherwise, you will suffer the punishment in this world and in the hereafter, and it will be of no use for you. We’re in this world and it’s a place of tests. It is a bit difficult as it is a place of tests but the end of this test will be good for those who are patient. For those who are firm on the path of truth, their end is in heaven, their end will be good. While for those who deviate from the path, it’s hard. It’ll be full of regret and their end will be bad. May Allah protect us. Even though the whole world is in your hands, if you say in the hereafter that you would give it all so that you may be saved, you cannot do anything and it will be of no use. Allah says this in the Holy Qur’an. That’s why, we shouldn’t think of this world as something important or run after those who rule this world, it is not a smart thing to do so. Be with those who are on the way of Allah. And be enemies to those who are enemies of Allah. How are you going to be enemies to them? They are not our friends. They are our enemies because they also consider us enemies, and in the same way we also see them as enemies then.
May Allah protect us. We are in the end of times, there are more tests and more difficulties, but those who are with Allah never have difficulties. May Allah give strength to our Iman. May we be firm on this way Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
218.THE RELIGION OF MERCY Monday, 21 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. The basis of Islam is mercy. Mercy is the attribute of Islam, it’s the attribute of Allah. People should be merciful. It is an order for Muslims anyway. Our Holy Prophet says “Have mercy on those on earth so that He Who is in heaven will have mercy on you.” Islam is the religion of mercy, compassion and help to people. Those that are outside of it should be like that too but they’re hypocrites, liars, traitors, and they do not have mercy. They act with hypocrisy. They show Islam as a bad and oppressing religion. Where as Islam is a religion of mercy. They know everything clearly, but since they are the soldiers of shaytan they show evil as good. They say that they’re doing good and they are not oppressing. The evil they do will not remain. But they show Islam as bad so that people stay away from it. In the end, Allah will show the truth. It is the end of times now, oppression has increased. The Sahib will come and everything will be clear. The truth will win. We are sad and people are sad when the truth is shown as bad. But the truth is the truth. The false will never overcome the truth. Allah willing, this truth will come out soon insha’Allah and all the oppressors will be erased from this world. It is the promise of Allah to our Holy Prophet.
Everywhere will be full of light, it will be illuminated with the light of Islam Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
