Suhbah 2021: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (3/25)

after and the home of the Hereafter is better.’ (Qur’ān 16:30). It is better for the hereafter. We are working for the hereafter.
We’re not working for a two-day long world but for the hereafter. They are giving everything they have for this two-day long world. They’re giving everything they’ve got without looking. They’re not thinking how to build their hereafter. There is no such thinking with them, but with Muslims thank Allah we have this thinking. Allah has created everything beautifully, Muslims and people should know its value. Other than this, they should not believe those shaytans and they should not follow the soldiers of shaytan. May Allah protect us and strengthen our faith (iman). Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
18.JESUS AND MAHDI Monday, 15 February 2021
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.
Humankind was created by Allah and Allah created the Nafs (ego) with him. What always gives trouble to a person is his ego. Those who do not follow their ego win Insha Allah.
At the time of Nuh/ Noah alaisalam, in the same manner, he was inviting people to the way of Allah but they found their idols to be more worthy of worship. They were worshipping those idols and in the end a cleansing occurred. Allah cleansed the whole world from nonbelief and from infidels with that flood, all of them perished. Even though humanity was on the right path, after a while people followed shaytan and their ego and everywhere is filled with nonbelief and tyranny again.
In these times also, nonbelief is at its peak and it keeps increasing. Just as you think that it has reached the peak and it can’t go higher, and that you can’t have more evil, rebellion and sinning, you look around and see that it increases more.
Things that you couldn’t even imagine are happening. Everything has a maximum peak. Then, for sure Allah will hit them and they will be finished. This tyranny, rebellion and sinning filth will end. Now you think it has reached the peak, but we don’t know. Allah knows if it has reached the peak or not. Yet when it does, this means that their end is coming; because Nuh/ Noah alaisalam prayed to Allah not to leave
even one nonbeliever on this world, so Allah perished and finished them all. Allah’s promise is the truth. In the same way, not one nonbeliever will be left in this world and Allah will perish them all.
The Sahib (owner) will come and he will cleanse everybody Insha Allah, do not forget this, Allah’s promise is the truth. When Isa/ Jesus Christ alaisalam and Mahdi alaisalam come, they will finish all this nonbelief and tyranny.
May Allah make us reach those beautiful days and make them closer Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
19.RIZQ: A FAVOR OF ALLAH Tuesday, 16 February 2021
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 gave humanity Rizq (sustenance). Wherever that sustenance is, that’s where they receive it and should receive it.
That’s why son of man thinks: ‘How did I come here? How did I arrive at this situation?’ Wherever Allah has provided the Rizq for him, that’s where he’s supposed to be and that’s where he’ll be receiving it.
Therefore, people go from one place to another and it’s the preordination of Allah. It’s the will of Allah for that to happen. We cannot fully comprehend the will of Allah and His greatness. Wherever one’s Rizq is, that’s where they’re going to be.
However, sometimes it is difficult and people might go through difficulties, but these difficulties can be overcome by trusting Allah and going on His path, that time it is not hard.
If you go to countries of nonbelief for your sustenance, thinking you have sustenance there, you shouldn’t let go of your religion, Adab (good manners) and Haya (shyness/ modesty). You should think: ‘We came here for sustenance. Rizq is a favor of Allah, so we should be grateful to Him and we should not be rebellious towards Him.’
Most people now go for sustenance but they later leave their religion and faith (iman). What’s important is for them to be helpful to each
other where they are. What we mean by being helpful is to pay attention to their worship and obedience, to get together and worship Allah and to preserve and protect their families; it is a duty upon them.
What sometimes happens there is that instead of people helping each other, they talk badly of each other just to look good in front of others, they bash and put down their own Muslim brothers and they keep away from other Muslims. If you keep away from other Muslims, you’ll just dissipate there. While if you get together in Dergahs and mosques, it would become a favor of Allah upon you and you can protect and preserve yourself insha’Allah.
After all, the world is in end times now, the Fitnahs (dissensions/ discords) have increased and it is more difficult. They go to these places, as we said, for sustenance and it’s a test from Allah; people go to Ghurba (foreign lands) for these purposes.
Some go to other Muslim countries and that’s one degree better, but those who go to nonbelieving countries it’s hard for them there, they need to be more careful.
Now we hear: “They did such and such in the country and it has become harder in these Muslim countries, so I’ll go to nonbelieving countries where there’s more money and more work”, but that’s not left either. People are just fooling each other and they’re deceiving themselves. If you can find a dry piece of bread in your own country, it’s better than going to nonbelieving countries.
But as we said, sometimes it happens; it could be that sustenance pulls one there and that’s a test. But when one goes there, the things that they need to be careful of are as we said: to be together with Muslims and to look after your children. Allah gives according to one’s intention and then Allah preserves that person.
Similar situations exist in Muslim countries too, Kufr (nonbelief) and Zandaqa (getting out of Islam) is everywhere. May Allah protect us all.
Not just young people but even adults, who you think are grownups and are 40, 50 and 60 years old, can deviate.
May Allah protect us from the evils of shaytan and from the evils of Kufr (nonbelief).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
20.VICTORY IS WITH ALLAH Wednesday, 17 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet states “The sultan is God’s shade on the earth.” Meaning, he is Allah’s light.
Allah doesn’t have a shadow but it’s an analogy. It means Allah’s hand of power. We know the attributes and qualities of Allah, He has no likeness, nothing is like Him. So the shadow of Allah is the person who performs and carries out His work on earth. We need to obey that person. However he might be, we still need to obey him and not oppose his orders. If you like him that’s fine, but if you don’t, you just have to be patient because those who oppose him would be opposing the order of the Holy Prophet and disobeying him, so their affairs wouldn’t go in order.
However, the sultan could be sometimes a trial for people; sometimes it’s a favor for people and sometimes it’s a test. The test is when a sultan is Fāsiq, he sins openly, doesn’t obey the commands of Allah and tyrannizes. But even if he’s a Fāsiq, we shouldn’t oppose him or come against him.
Therefore, the sultan who obeys Allah’s commands is a favor of Allah. We need to appreciate that sultan and we need to appreciate that favor. We need to be grateful to Allah because he would have Barakah (blessing) and his works would be going in order.
Sometimes they say: “This man is such a lucky one, everything he does comes back to benefit him”, that is because Allah is helping him. On the other hand, whatever they do and the more they want to fix things, they would mess it up and the people would also be in trouble and in hardship.
But when the leader is someone who follows the commands of Allah and serves people, then that would be a Lutf (grace) and Ni’mah (bounty/blessing) of Allah.
Why are we saying this? Because thank Allah the person who is our leader is a good person who loves Allah, His Prophet and the Awliya (saints). He is walking on the right path. There are many Fitan (dissensions/ discords), lies and slanders against him.
Well yes, now there is a group of people who no matter what he does, they’ll never appreciate him. Other than that, there are those who claim to be Muslim yet they are also deceiving people to be against him. They’re mostly trying to work young people up because they don’t know better, they don’t know what happened and how it was in the past and they haven’t lived in other countries.
There’s no need to live in other countries, you can see by reading about what’s going on in other neighboring countries, how their people are living and what they have to go through and be patient with. So when this is the case, Allah might give us such a test that we would be regretting it, but that regret would be of no use. Sultan Abdul Hamid Khan served the people so much and worked so hard. But with this Fitnah and Fujūr (immorality), they followed the nonbelievers and dethroned him. Within a few years, the whole country was disintegrated. They cried a lot and were regretful but it was of no use anymore. He, with his patience, became one of the big Awliya (saints) in the sight of Allah and he reached the Holy Prophet.
Until now, all the countries around still suffer the consequences of what was done to him.
So this is an important matter, we need to appreciate and give value, we need to be grateful and thankful to the favors and blessings. If there’s hardship, yes hardship could be happening, but it doesn’t just happen here, it happens everywhere. In hardships there are enemies and there’s white and black, there’s nothing else. You’re either going to be with Islam or you’re going to be against it, there’s no third option. Therefore, we need to make Dua (supplicate) and pray that Allah may give power to the one who’s leading us.
May Allah give power to Islam and send the Sahib (owner) as soon as possible, Islam needs help. Those who are with Allah are victorious.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
21.AWLIYA: SAINTS OF ALLAH Friday, 19 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’ (Qur’ān 10:62). The Awliya of Allah do not have any sorrows or worries, they have no fear or sadness. They are with Allah in this world and in the next, they have no worries or difficulties. This is what Allah says and what the Awliya teach people, to be with Allah so they could also be at ease.
Whoever is with Allah is at ease. Even if they do not look like they’re at ease from the exterior, they have found that peace and they are at ease.
And the greatest example of such an Awliya is our Shaykh Baba, Shaykh Nazim. Those who have seen him while he was in this world are plenty and still his Himmah (spiritual support) continues; there are many people who are still coming, so he’s still being a means for guidance. Through his Barakah (blessings), these gatherings are being a means for guidance for people and he gives them from those beauties. They give beauties and goodness, those who are with them are saved.
Salvation is being with Allah, that’s how people are saved. Through his Himmah insha’Allah, there are great rewards in this world and in the hereafter for those who are with him.
The night of the 8th of Rajab is the anniversary of his passing to the
hereafter. Just as Mawlana Rumi says it’s a Urs, a wedding. To go back to Allah is the biggest wedding and the greatest of joys. And it is on this night, what we mean by this night is the night of the 8th of Rajab. His Himmah is ever present for his followers, brothers and sisters and he’s still being a means for guidance for many people. He is a big Qutub (pole), what we mean by Qutub is one of the greatest Awliya (saints). In the sight of Allah and in the sight of the Holy Prophet, they have a high station.
When they leave, of course we cannot fill this space. It is said that the passing of a scholar is the passing of the world. But since it’s the end of time now, these are happening slowly. They aren’t pulling their hands off of us otherwise nothing would be left. If it wasn’t for their support everything would be done, but thank Allah through their Himmah (spiritual support) it continues. Once they go to the hereafter their Himmah doesn’t stop, it increases.
When Awliya pass away, their power increases seven times, at a minimum, and it is multiple times more for certain big Awliya. So we are comfortable we are in a good place, we have held on to a solid place thank Allah. May their station rise further.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
22.LOVE GOOD PEOPLE Saturday, 20 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet states, “A man will be with whom he loves.” It’s a good tiding to the Saḥābah (companions). A companion was crying to the Prophet, he said: “We are together in this world but how are we going to be in the next world?” The Prophet said: “A man will be with whom he loves”, even if one person is at a higher station in the hereafter, a person will be close to them; therefore, this is a good tiding for people, for Muslims. May people love good people then.
Thank Allah that the people we love are the good Awliya (saints), the Prophet, the Ahl al-Bayt (his family), the Saḥābah (his companions), and the Mashaikh.
Our Shaykh, Shaykh Nazim taught us this love. His whole life was full of the love of Allah. He gave Sohbahs and taught people to love Allah and love each other, not to be enemies against each other. He taught goodness not animosity. Love teaches goodness.
The others that teach animosity are charlatans; that’s not love, that’s hypocrisy. True love is the love that the Awliya teach and show. Their love exists while they’re alive in this life and when they’re not here, when they’ve departed and have gone to the world of Barzakh. They have Tasarruf, manifestation there too and they have the ability to give love to people’s hearts, Allah willing.
So those who have seen him or haven’t seen him and those who came later but loved him, Allah willing they’ll be with him. They’ll be together with him in the true life, the life of the hereafter.
They have a great place in the sight of Allah. So for their honor, those who love them will certainly leave this world in felicity and will be with them. Even if they have the slightest love towards them, Allah willing, that will save them.
Therefore, nowadays there are plenty of people who do not appreciate or value this, they say: “What use or need is there for Awliya and Mashaikh? Are there such things even?” They are poor and wretched people, they are ones who are deprived from this and their end in the hereafter is difficult.
So this Mahaba (affection) is a great blessing and Lutf (grace) for us, it’s a great gift for us from Allah and it’s not meant for everybody. So we say thank Allah for it and that he made us with the Mashaikh and with the Sultan-ul Awliya Shaykh Nazim. Those who are not [with them], if they have love towards them, there’s a great favor and Lutf (grace) for them as well.
It has been 7 years now that he has separated from amongst us. Many people have been feeling love towards him since then, they will also be with him until the day of judgment. Whoever loves him will be with him and with the Holy Prophet, because he loves the Holy Prophet and we also love the Holy Prophet and Allah, and this love goes this way. May Allah raise his station and increase our love and faith Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
23.INTELLECT AND POWER Sunday, 21 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘And mankind was created weak.’ (Qur’ān 04:28).
Humans have been created weak, but they’ve been given intellect and they have power around them. If they can use it, then they would get rid of their weakness. If they cannot use it, then they would just remain like that. Allah gave humans everything and made it under His control so they may use it for His service and in His way.
Other creatures have power but they don’t have the intellect. Allah has given us these things as a favor and as a gift for us to use them, so they may help us to go on the way of Allah and be obedient to Him. However, son of man uses them to be rebellious and to oppose Allah more.
Everybody has some power. But in order to use it, one needs a path and a person to show him the way. The majority of people are shown the way by shaytan, so instead of being good it turns out bad and evil for them; to remain weak is better that time. They can be as powerful as they like in front of the Greatness of Allah, but again people are weak.
Those who are with Allah, ‘Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.’ (Qur’ān 58:21).
Those we are with Allah are the strong ones. Those who are not with Allah, they can claim to be as powerful as they like but their power has no use and no benefit.
Allah says, strength is in unity. Be united so there may be power and strength in the way of Allah. However, unfortunately these days this doesn’t exist. It is through Allah’s wisdom that everything is available for us but there’s nobody to put it on that path. We need something to open it up. When that thing [person] comes Insha Allah, the ways will open, we will be united and the Haqq (truth) will prevail Insha Allah. To wait for those days is also a virtue, Allah is rewarding us. We are waiting so He may send the Sahib (owner) and he may use that power so Muslims and Mu’mins (believers) would use it. When that’s not available, well there we see, we are fighting with each other and we are far away from the truth. May Allah make us love and be with this Haqq (truth) Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
24.WORDS OF SAFETY Tuesday, 23 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says La ila ha il Allah alayha nahya wa alayhi namut In sha Allah.
These are words of safety and salvation. Those who say these words have been saved and have reached felicity. Saying these words is not hard for a Mu’min (believer), it’s easy and beautiful. We could do it tens of times, a 100 times as Dhikr or even more every day; it’s easy, there’s no hardship or harm in it and it has benefit, a huge benefit.
However, when people are in Kufr (unbelief), then there is nothing harder than this. We tell them: “Well, say these few words and save yourself”, “No I can’t do it”, they say. They don’t say I can’t do it, they oppose and admonish/scold you instead. “It has no harm. You say everything, at least say this too so you may be saved” you say, but they don’t accept this. They’re stubborn. It’s the stubbornness of nonbelief, it’s the stubbornness of shaytan, not to accept the Haqq (truth).
People who are against the truth have this stubbornness in them. ‘Obstinate disbeliever’, says Allah in the Holy Quran (50:24). They’re both nonbelievers and stubborn. A Mu’min (believer) cannot be stubborn. Stubbornness is not in Mu’mins, it’s in infidels and in shaytans. Even though they know that they’re going to be saved if they say it, they don’t accept it and they don’t do it.
Thank Allah, these beautiful words that say: [Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh] ‘There’s no God but Allah’, are beautiful words; are there any more beautiful words than these!
Our biggest thing is to accept that Allah has no other partner than Him. There are some who think of themselves as Muslims and even though they say these words, they tell others: “You are Mushriks (polytheists). You are associating partners with Allah But in reality, it is they who don’t know the reality and the meaning of these words.
Our Holy Prophet says: “Do not call anyone who says these words a Mushrik.” If the Holy Prophet hadn’t said so, it is they who are falling into that wrong because they do not know the reality and the meaning of these words. They’re telling people who say these words that they’re Mushriks (polytheists) and so they’re falling into a huge wrong.
But with Allah’s mercy, they will also be saved because they say these words. However, their virtues will be very low because they’re calling those who say [Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh] Mushriks (polytheists); it reduces their virtues. The aim is met but their station will be of the lowest stations.
Therefore, [Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh muḥammadun rasūlu llāh], our gratitude and thankfulness is endless.
May Allah not deviate us from this Insha Allah. May He strengthen our faith.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.GOOD ENDING Thursday, 25 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Our Holy Prophet states “By Him, besides Whom there is no god, that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit, when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell and thus enters Hell, and another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell, until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him and then he begins to act like the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.”
There are certain people who do works worthy of paradise but with a little time left they suddenly leave it and do the works of the people of hell and thus end up in hell.
Yet some spend all their life with works of the people of hell and with a little time left they do works of the people of Paradise and so end up in Paradise.
Therefore, may Allah make our end to be a good ending. Those who pass away from this life in goodness, how lucky they are! Of course this world is not permanent, it is only for a short temporary period of time. No matter how long people live, it is still short, even if they live for 100 or 150 years, it all passes. Some people have lived for a hundred years but none are left.
Ever since the time of Adam ʿalayhi s-salām, there are some certain exceptions of course, as they say ‘very rare’, such as Al-Khidr ʿalayhi s- salām and Ilyas ʿalayhi s-salām. All people have tasted death and passed away. Yet on the other side, the Prophets and the Martyrs are ‘Ahyaa (alive) but they have passed through death.
What is important is for our end to be good. There are plenty of people who think that they’re doing good for themselves in this world, but the people who are losing in the hereafter are the majority unfortunately. Therefore, the hereafter is important.
May Allah keep us steadfast and may He not misguide us.
Those who are with the good ones will surely be with the good ones and will not deviate. Those who are alone are going to end up wherever the wind takes them.
May you be with Allah, with the Prophet, with the Awliya and with your Murshid, so you have something to hold on to and so your ending is good insha’Allah.
May Allah’s favors be continuous on us and may we get from His blessings for this world and the next Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
26.PEOPLE NEED RELIGION Sunday, 28 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire.’ (Qur’ān 45:23). They have made their desires and what they like as their own gods. Now most of the people in the world are as such. People need religion, but they like such a religion that goes along with whatever their Nafs (ego) desires and whatever they like.
Other than the Religion of Islam, they’re all the same [like that]; Christianity is exactly like that. The Religion brought about by Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s- salām has nothing to do with today’s religion. Whatever their Hawā (desire) and Nafs (ego) wants, that’s how they make it and then they say: “This is our religion.”
A lot of the time, we would think and wonder that these people are clever people, they know everything, then why is it that they run after this religion as it is not the religion brought about by Isa ʿalayhi s-salām, Hāshā (far be it from him). The religion he brought with him was a pure and sincere religion sent by Allah, but they changed it and made it as they liked. They still continue to do so and change it; there’s no end to it. However their Nafs (ego) wants it, that’s what they do. That is why they listen to it and follow it so much, and they’re making animosity against the true Religion of Islam.
Whereas they’re not doing what is being ordered to them, they’re doing the opposite. Hadrat Isa ʿalayhi s-salām told you: “If a person slaps you, turn your other cheek to them. Do not get up and hit them back.” They’re not only hitting back but they’ve massacred the whole world, millions of people, and they continue to do so. They are the ones who are with shaytan, they have nothing to do with the religion that Allah sent to Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s-salām.
The religions of all the Prophets are all the same. The true followers of Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s-salām should follow our Holy Prophet, because all the Prophets gave glad tidings of our Holy Prophet and told us to be with him.
When Hadrat Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s-salām comes back, they say [about him] that they have killed him, that they have killed God’s son, Hāshā (far be it from him). This is how mindless they are, they’re not mindless but shaytanic since they know it can’t be.
Hadrat Isa ʿalayhi s-salām is being conserved and protected in Heaven. When he descends, he will show them. He will be upon the true religion, the religion of our Holy Prophet Muhammad; he will apply his Sharia (sacred law) and he will accept his religion. He will break the cross, what we mean by the cross is this useless thing that they hang around their necks. He will kill the pigs, what is meant by the pigs are these filthy ones.
This Religion will come down upon the true religion and not any other religion, there will be no other religion. They will have no excuses left either, since they say: “We are followers of Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s- salām” and Hadrat Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s- salām will be from the Ummah (nation) of our Holy Prophet.
All the Prophets wanted to follow and be amongst the Ummah (nation) of our Holy Prophet, but this will be granted to Hadrat Isa ʿalayhi s- salām such that no nonbelief is left in this world of Kufr. Since they’re claiming that they have a religion and that they’re followers of Isa/Jesus
Christ ʿalayhi s-salām, they’ll have no excuses left. Only, ‘Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.’ (Qur’ān 03:19). No other religion but Islam will be left.
May Allah make us reach those days Insha Allah. May He save us from these shaytans. They’re changing religion as they like and misguiding people just so they can do whatever they like, may they not be able to do that anymore Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
27.THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS Sunday, 7 March 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.’ (Qur’ān 02:48).
Allah tells us to be aware of that Day. Which day? The Day of Judgment. On that Day no one will be able to help another, nor will they be able to intercede for others, except for those who have a right on others. Even though there is intercession for others’ rights, if someone is to take a right from someone else and hasn’t done so in this world, they need to clean it up and give them their right in this world because in the hereafter neither money nor anything else will be accepted. What is accepted there is your good deeds. If you have good deeds, that time only you’ll be able to compensate for the rights of others.
Intercession, well our Holy Prophet can intercede for everybody but if you have tyrannized someone and taken their rights by force, our Holy Prophet will not interfere with those people but only the person who is to take the right. He needs to forgive the other person, and [there] he will ask for something in return.
Therefore, while in this world we need to pay attention and be careful not to take or infringe on anyone’s rights and not to oppress anybody.
People of this world, no matter how much they take away and infringe on the rights of others, they think that they’re clever and that it’s going to benefit them while they have no idea how much it’s harming them. It’s because they have no faith in the Day of Judgment; they don’t believe in it. Since they don’t have that belief, they can do all sorts of injustice and evil things. Those who fear Allah don’t do such things. Those who fear the Day of Judgment and Resurrection don’t do this.
So religion is to protect people. Protect them from what? From hellfire; there can’t be anything worse than that. Some people will be in hell forever and some will stay there till they pay their dues. In this world, some think that they have done a [good] thing and that they have gained something by fooling and oppressing others and by taking things by force from people, but they’re deceived and they’re wrong.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not make us take anyone’s rights Insha Allah.
This happens everywhere, not just with certain people. Sometimes there are traditions or customs and sometimes there are certain nations or people who think that everything of inheritance is left for them whereas they should actually be giving their siblings, relatives or other members of due inheritance their share. Whatever their right is in Islam, that’s how you should give it to people and that’s how you should act.
May Allah protect us from doing such things. May He give us the ability to think correctly and in a right way. May He help us Insha Allah and may He not leave us to our Nafs (ego).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
28.THE NATURE OF HUMANS Tuesday, 9 March 202
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

after and the home of the Hereafter is better.’ (Qur’ān 16:30). It is better for the hereafter. We are working for the hereafter.
We’re not working for a two-day long world but for the hereafter. They are giving everything they have for this two-day long world. They’re giving everything they’ve got without looking. They’re not thinking how to build their hereafter. There is no such thinking with them, but with Muslims thank Allah we have this thinking. Allah has created everything beautifully, Muslims and people should know its value. Other than this, they should not believe those shaytans and they should not follow the soldiers of shaytan. May Allah protect us and strengthen our faith (iman). Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
18.JESUS AND MAHDI Monday, 15 February 2021
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.
Humankind was created by Allah and Allah created the Nafs (ego) with him. What always gives trouble to a person is his ego. Those who do not follow their ego win Insha Allah.
At the time of Nuh/ Noah alaisalam, in the same manner, he was inviting people to the way of Allah but they found their idols to be more worthy of worship. They were worshipping those idols and in the end a cleansing occurred. Allah cleansed the whole world from nonbelief and from infidels with that flood, all of them perished. Even though humanity was on the right path, after a while people followed shaytan and their ego and everywhere is filled with nonbelief and tyranny again.
In these times also, nonbelief is at its peak and it keeps increasing. Just as you think that it has reached the peak and it can’t go higher, and that you can’t have more evil, rebellion and sinning, you look around and see that it increases more.
Things that you couldn’t even imagine are happening. Everything has a maximum peak. Then, for sure Allah will hit them and they will be finished. This tyranny, rebellion and sinning filth will end. Now you think it has reached the peak, but we don’t know. Allah knows if it has reached the peak or not. Yet when it does, this means that their end is coming; because Nuh/ Noah alaisalam prayed to Allah not to leave
even one nonbeliever on this world, so Allah perished and finished them all. Allah’s promise is the truth. In the same way, not one nonbeliever will be left in this world and Allah will perish them all.
The Sahib (owner) will come and he will cleanse everybody Insha Allah, do not forget this, Allah’s promise is the truth. When Isa/ Jesus Christ alaisalam and Mahdi alaisalam come, they will finish all this nonbelief and tyranny.
May Allah make us reach those beautiful days and make them closer Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
19.RIZQ: A FAVOR OF ALLAH Tuesday, 16 February 2021
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 gave humanity Rizq (sustenance). Wherever that sustenance is, that’s where they receive it and should receive it.
That’s why son of man thinks: ‘How did I come here? How did I arrive at this situation?’ Wherever Allah has provided the Rizq for him, that’s where he’s supposed to be and that’s where he’ll be receiving it.
Therefore, people go from one place to another and it’s the preordination of Allah. It’s the will of Allah for that to happen. We cannot fully comprehend the will of Allah and His greatness. Wherever one’s Rizq is, that’s where they’re going to be.
However, sometimes it is difficult and people might go through difficulties, but these difficulties can be overcome by trusting Allah and going on His path, that time it is not hard.
If you go to countries of nonbelief for your sustenance, thinking you have sustenance there, you shouldn’t let go of your religion, Adab (good manners) and Haya (shyness/ modesty). You should think: ‘We came here for sustenance. Rizq is a favor of Allah, so we should be grateful to Him and we should not be rebellious towards Him.’
Most people now go for sustenance but they later leave their religion and faith (iman). What’s important is for them to be helpful to each
other where they are. What we mean by being helpful is to pay attention to their worship and obedience, to get together and worship Allah and to preserve and protect their families; it is a duty upon them.
What sometimes happens there is that instead of people helping each other, they talk badly of each other just to look good in front of others, they bash and put down their own Muslim brothers and they keep away from other Muslims. If you keep away from other Muslims, you’ll just dissipate there. While if you get together in Dergahs and mosques, it would become a favor of Allah upon you and you can protect and preserve yourself insha’Allah.
After all, the world is in end times now, the Fitnahs (dissensions/ discords) have increased and it is more difficult. They go to these places, as we said, for sustenance and it’s a test from Allah; people go to Ghurba (foreign lands) for these purposes.
Some go to other Muslim countries and that’s one degree better, but those who go to nonbelieving countries it’s hard for them there, they need to be more careful.
Now we hear: “They did such and such in the country and it has become harder in these Muslim countries, so I’ll go to nonbelieving countries where there’s more money and more work”, but that’s not left either. People are just fooling each other and they’re deceiving themselves. If you can find a dry piece of bread in your own country, it’s better than going to nonbelieving countries.
But as we said, sometimes it happens; it could be that sustenance pulls one there and that’s a test. But when one goes there, the things that they need to be careful of are as we said: to be together with Muslims and to look after your children. Allah gives according to one’s intention and then Allah preserves that person.
Similar situations exist in Muslim countries too, Kufr (nonbelief) and Zandaqa (getting out of Islam) is everywhere. May Allah protect us all.
Not just young people but even adults, who you think are grownups and are 40, 50 and 60 years old, can deviate.
May Allah protect us from the evils of shaytan and from the evils of Kufr (nonbelief).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
20.VICTORY IS WITH ALLAH Wednesday, 17 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet states “The sultan is God’s shade on the earth.” Meaning, he is Allah’s light.
Allah doesn’t have a shadow but it’s an analogy. It means Allah’s hand of power. We know the attributes and qualities of Allah, He has no likeness, nothing is like Him. So the shadow of Allah is the person who performs and carries out His work on earth. We need to obey that person. However he might be, we still need to obey him and not oppose his orders. If you like him that’s fine, but if you don’t, you just have to be patient because those who oppose him would be opposing the order of the Holy Prophet and disobeying him, so their affairs wouldn’t go in order.
However, the sultan could be sometimes a trial for people; sometimes it’s a favor for people and sometimes it’s a test. The test is when a sultan is Fāsiq, he sins openly, doesn’t obey the commands of Allah and tyrannizes. But even if he’s a Fāsiq, we shouldn’t oppose him or come against him.
Therefore, the sultan who obeys Allah’s commands is a favor of Allah. We need to appreciate that sultan and we need to appreciate that favor. We need to be grateful to Allah because he would have Barakah (blessing) and his works would be going in order.
Sometimes they say: “This man is such a lucky one, everything he does comes back to benefit him”, that is because Allah is helping him. On the other hand, whatever they do and the more they want to fix things, they would mess it up and the people would also be in trouble and in hardship.
But when the leader is someone who follows the commands of Allah and serves people, then that would be a Lutf (grace) and Ni’mah (bounty/blessing) of Allah.
Why are we saying this? Because thank Allah the person who is our leader is a good person who loves Allah, His Prophet and the Awliya (saints). He is walking on the right path. There are many Fitan (dissensions/ discords), lies and slanders against him.
Well yes, now there is a group of people who no matter what he does, they’ll never appreciate him. Other than that, there are those who claim to be Muslim yet they are also deceiving people to be against him. They’re mostly trying to work young people up because they don’t know better, they don’t know what happened and how it was in the past and they haven’t lived in other countries.
There’s no need to live in other countries, you can see by reading about what’s going on in other neighboring countries, how their people are living and what they have to go through and be patient with. So when this is the case, Allah might give us such a test that we would be regretting it, but that regret would be of no use. Sultan Abdul Hamid Khan served the people so much and worked so hard. But with this Fitnah and Fujūr (immorality), they followed the nonbelievers and dethroned him. Within a few years, the whole country was disintegrated. They cried a lot and were regretful but it was of no use anymore. He, with his patience, became one of the big Awliya (saints) in the sight of Allah and he reached the Holy Prophet.
Until now, all the countries around still suffer the consequences of what was done to him.
So this is an important matter, we need to appreciate and give value, we need to be grateful and thankful to the favors and blessings. If there’s hardship, yes hardship could be happening, but it doesn’t just happen here, it happens everywhere. In hardships there are enemies and there’s white and black, there’s nothing else. You’re either going to be with Islam or you’re going to be against it, there’s no third option. Therefore, we need to make Dua (supplicate) and pray that Allah may give power to the one who’s leading us.
May Allah give power to Islam and send the Sahib (owner) as soon as possible, Islam needs help. Those who are with Allah are victorious.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
21.AWLIYA: SAINTS OF ALLAH Friday, 19 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’ (Qur’ān 10:62). The Awliya of Allah do not have any sorrows or worries, they have no fear or sadness. They are with Allah in this world and in the next, they have no worries or difficulties. This is what Allah says and what the Awliya teach people, to be with Allah so they could also be at ease.
Whoever is with Allah is at ease. Even if they do not look like they’re at ease from the exterior, they have found that peace and they are at ease.
And the greatest example of such an Awliya is our Shaykh Baba, Shaykh Nazim. Those who have seen him while he was in this world are plenty and still his Himmah (spiritual support) continues; there are many people who are still coming, so he’s still being a means for guidance. Through his Barakah (blessings), these gatherings are being a means for guidance for people and he gives them from those beauties. They give beauties and goodness, those who are with them are saved.
Salvation is being with Allah, that’s how people are saved. Through his Himmah insha’Allah, there are great rewards in this world and in the hereafter for those who are with him.
The night of the 8th of Rajab is the anniversary of his passing to the
hereafter. Just as Mawlana Rumi says it’s a Urs, a wedding. To go back to Allah is the biggest wedding and the greatest of joys. And it is on this night, what we mean by this night is the night of the 8th of Rajab. His Himmah is ever present for his followers, brothers and sisters and he’s still being a means for guidance for many people. He is a big Qutub (pole), what we mean by Qutub is one of the greatest Awliya (saints). In the sight of Allah and in the sight of the Holy Prophet, they have a high station.
When they leave, of course we cannot fill this space. It is said that the passing of a scholar is the passing of the world. But since it’s the end of time now, these are happening slowly. They aren’t pulling their hands off of us otherwise nothing would be left. If it wasn’t for their support everything would be done, but thank Allah through their Himmah (spiritual support) it continues. Once they go to the hereafter their Himmah doesn’t stop, it increases.
When Awliya pass away, their power increases seven times, at a minimum, and it is multiple times more for certain big Awliya. So we are comfortable we are in a good place, we have held on to a solid place thank Allah. May their station rise further.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
22.LOVE GOOD PEOPLE Saturday, 20 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet states, “A man will be with whom he loves.” It’s a good tiding to the Saḥābah (companions). A companion was crying to the Prophet, he said: “We are together in this world but how are we going to be in the next world?” The Prophet said: “A man will be with whom he loves”, even if one person is at a higher station in the hereafter, a person will be close to them; therefore, this is a good tiding for people, for Muslims. May people love good people then.
Thank Allah that the people we love are the good Awliya (saints), the Prophet, the Ahl al-Bayt (his family), the Saḥābah (his companions), and the Mashaikh.
Our Shaykh, Shaykh Nazim taught us this love. His whole life was full of the love of Allah. He gave Sohbahs and taught people to love Allah and love each other, not to be enemies against each other. He taught goodness not animosity. Love teaches goodness.
The others that teach animosity are charlatans; that’s not love, that’s hypocrisy. True love is the love that the Awliya teach and show. Their love exists while they’re alive in this life and when they’re not here, when they’ve departed and have gone to the world of Barzakh. They have Tasarruf, manifestation there too and they have the ability to give love to people’s hearts, Allah willing.
So those who have seen him or haven’t seen him and those who came later but loved him, Allah willing they’ll be with him. They’ll be together with him in the true life, the life of the hereafter.
They have a great place in the sight of Allah. So for their honor, those who love them will certainly leave this world in felicity and will be with them. Even if they have the slightest love towards them, Allah willing, that will save them.
Therefore, nowadays there are plenty of people who do not appreciate or value this, they say: “What use or need is there for Awliya and Mashaikh? Are there such things even?” They are poor and wretched people, they are ones who are deprived from this and their end in the hereafter is difficult.
So this Mahaba (affection) is a great blessing and Lutf (grace) for us, it’s a great gift for us from Allah and it’s not meant for everybody. So we say thank Allah for it and that he made us with the Mashaikh and with the Sultan-ul Awliya Shaykh Nazim. Those who are not [with them], if they have love towards them, there’s a great favor and Lutf (grace) for them as well.
It has been 7 years now that he has separated from amongst us. Many people have been feeling love towards him since then, they will also be with him until the day of judgment. Whoever loves him will be with him and with the Holy Prophet, because he loves the Holy Prophet and we also love the Holy Prophet and Allah, and this love goes this way. May Allah raise his station and increase our love and faith Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
23.INTELLECT AND POWER Sunday, 21 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘And mankind was created weak.’ (Qur’ān 04:28).
Humans have been created weak, but they’ve been given intellect and they have power around them. If they can use it, then they would get rid of their weakness. If they cannot use it, then they would just remain like that. Allah gave humans everything and made it under His control so they may use it for His service and in His way.
Other creatures have power but they don’t have the intellect. Allah has given us these things as a favor and as a gift for us to use them, so they may help us to go on the way of Allah and be obedient to Him. However, son of man uses them to be rebellious and to oppose Allah more.
Everybody has some power. But in order to use it, one needs a path and a person to show him the way. The majority of people are shown the way by shaytan, so instead of being good it turns out bad and evil for them; to remain weak is better that time. They can be as powerful as they like in front of the Greatness of Allah, but again people are weak.
Those who are with Allah, ‘Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.’ (Qur’ān 58:21).
Those we are with Allah are the strong ones. Those who are not with Allah, they can claim to be as powerful as they like but their power has no use and no benefit.
Allah says, strength is in unity. Be united so there may be power and strength in the way of Allah. However, unfortunately these days this doesn’t exist. It is through Allah’s wisdom that everything is available for us but there’s nobody to put it on that path. We need something to open it up. When that thing [person] comes Insha Allah, the ways will open, we will be united and the Haqq (truth) will prevail Insha Allah. To wait for those days is also a virtue, Allah is rewarding us. We are waiting so He may send the Sahib (owner) and he may use that power so Muslims and Mu’mins (believers) would use it. When that’s not available, well there we see, we are fighting with each other and we are far away from the truth. May Allah make us love and be with this Haqq (truth) Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
24.WORDS OF SAFETY Tuesday, 23 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says La ila ha il Allah alayha nahya wa alayhi namut In sha Allah.
These are words of safety and salvation. Those who say these words have been saved and have reached felicity. Saying these words is not hard for a Mu’min (believer), it’s easy and beautiful. We could do it tens of times, a 100 times as Dhikr or even more every day; it’s easy, there’s no hardship or harm in it and it has benefit, a huge benefit.
However, when people are in Kufr (unbelief), then there is nothing harder than this. We tell them: “Well, say these few words and save yourself”, “No I can’t do it”, they say. They don’t say I can’t do it, they oppose and admonish/scold you instead. “It has no harm. You say everything, at least say this too so you may be saved” you say, but they don’t accept this. They’re stubborn. It’s the stubbornness of nonbelief, it’s the stubbornness of shaytan, not to accept the Haqq (truth).
People who are against the truth have this stubbornness in them. ‘Obstinate disbeliever’, says Allah in the Holy Quran (50:24). They’re both nonbelievers and stubborn. A Mu’min (believer) cannot be stubborn. Stubbornness is not in Mu’mins, it’s in infidels and in shaytans. Even though they know that they’re going to be saved if they say it, they don’t accept it and they don’t do it.
Thank Allah, these beautiful words that say: [Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh] ‘There’s no God but Allah’, are beautiful words; are there any more beautiful words than these!
Our biggest thing is to accept that Allah has no other partner than Him. There are some who think of themselves as Muslims and even though they say these words, they tell others: “You are Mushriks (polytheists). You are associating partners with Allah But in reality, it is they who don’t know the reality and the meaning of these words.
Our Holy Prophet says: “Do not call anyone who says these words a Mushrik.” If the Holy Prophet hadn’t said so, it is they who are falling into that wrong because they do not know the reality and the meaning of these words. They’re telling people who say these words that they’re Mushriks (polytheists) and so they’re falling into a huge wrong.
But with Allah’s mercy, they will also be saved because they say these words. However, their virtues will be very low because they’re calling those who say [Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh] Mushriks (polytheists); it reduces their virtues. The aim is met but their station will be of the lowest stations.
Therefore, [Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh muḥammadun rasūlu llāh], our gratitude and thankfulness is endless.
May Allah not deviate us from this Insha Allah. May He strengthen our faith.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
25.GOOD ENDING Thursday, 25 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Our Holy Prophet states “By Him, besides Whom there is no god, that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit, when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell and thus enters Hell, and another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell, until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him and then he begins to act like the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.”
There are certain people who do works worthy of paradise but with a little time left they suddenly leave it and do the works of the people of hell and thus end up in hell.
Yet some spend all their life with works of the people of hell and with a little time left they do works of the people of Paradise and so end up in Paradise.
Therefore, may Allah make our end to be a good ending. Those who pass away from this life in goodness, how lucky they are! Of course this world is not permanent, it is only for a short temporary period of time. No matter how long people live, it is still short, even if they live for 100 or 150 years, it all passes. Some people have lived for a hundred years but none are left.
Ever since the time of Adam ʿalayhi s-salām, there are some certain exceptions of course, as they say ‘very rare’, such as Al-Khidr ʿalayhi s- salām and Ilyas ʿalayhi s-salām. All people have tasted death and passed away. Yet on the other side, the Prophets and the Martyrs are ‘Ahyaa (alive) but they have passed through death.
What is important is for our end to be good. There are plenty of people who think that they’re doing good for themselves in this world, but the people who are losing in the hereafter are the majority unfortunately. Therefore, the hereafter is important.
May Allah keep us steadfast and may He not misguide us.
Those who are with the good ones will surely be with the good ones and will not deviate. Those who are alone are going to end up wherever the wind takes them.
May you be with Allah, with the Prophet, with the Awliya and with your Murshid, so you have something to hold on to and so your ending is good insha’Allah.
May Allah’s favors be continuous on us and may we get from His blessings for this world and the next Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
26.PEOPLE NEED RELIGION Sunday, 28 February 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire.’ (Qur’ān 45:23). They have made their desires and what they like as their own gods. Now most of the people in the world are as such. People need religion, but they like such a religion that goes along with whatever their Nafs (ego) desires and whatever they like.
Other than the Religion of Islam, they’re all the same [like that]; Christianity is exactly like that. The Religion brought about by Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s- salām has nothing to do with today’s religion. Whatever their Hawā (desire) and Nafs (ego) wants, that’s how they make it and then they say: “This is our religion.”
A lot of the time, we would think and wonder that these people are clever people, they know everything, then why is it that they run after this religion as it is not the religion brought about by Isa ʿalayhi s-salām, Hāshā (far be it from him). The religion he brought with him was a pure and sincere religion sent by Allah, but they changed it and made it as they liked. They still continue to do so and change it; there’s no end to it. However their Nafs (ego) wants it, that’s what they do. That is why they listen to it and follow it so much, and they’re making animosity against the true Religion of Islam.
Whereas they’re not doing what is being ordered to them, they’re doing the opposite. Hadrat Isa ʿalayhi s-salām told you: “If a person slaps you, turn your other cheek to them. Do not get up and hit them back.” They’re not only hitting back but they’ve massacred the whole world, millions of people, and they continue to do so. They are the ones who are with shaytan, they have nothing to do with the religion that Allah sent to Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s-salām.
The religions of all the Prophets are all the same. The true followers of Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s-salām should follow our Holy Prophet, because all the Prophets gave glad tidings of our Holy Prophet and told us to be with him.
When Hadrat Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s-salām comes back, they say [about him] that they have killed him, that they have killed God’s son, Hāshā (far be it from him). This is how mindless they are, they’re not mindless but shaytanic since they know it can’t be.
Hadrat Isa ʿalayhi s-salām is being conserved and protected in Heaven. When he descends, he will show them. He will be upon the true religion, the religion of our Holy Prophet Muhammad; he will apply his Sharia (sacred law) and he will accept his religion. He will break the cross, what we mean by the cross is this useless thing that they hang around their necks. He will kill the pigs, what is meant by the pigs are these filthy ones.
This Religion will come down upon the true religion and not any other religion, there will be no other religion. They will have no excuses left either, since they say: “We are followers of Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s- salām” and Hadrat Isa/Jesus Christ ʿalayhi s- salām will be from the Ummah (nation) of our Holy Prophet.
All the Prophets wanted to follow and be amongst the Ummah (nation) of our Holy Prophet, but this will be granted to Hadrat Isa ʿalayhi s- salām such that no nonbelief is left in this world of Kufr. Since they’re claiming that they have a religion and that they’re followers of Isa/Jesus
Christ ʿalayhi s-salām, they’ll have no excuses left. Only, ‘Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.’ (Qur’ān 03:19). No other religion but Islam will be left.
May Allah make us reach those days Insha Allah. May He save us from these shaytans. They’re changing religion as they like and misguiding people just so they can do whatever they like, may they not be able to do that anymore Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
27.THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS Sunday, 7 March 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.’ (Qur’ān 02:48).
Allah tells us to be aware of that Day. Which day? The Day of Judgment. On that Day no one will be able to help another, nor will they be able to intercede for others, except for those who have a right on others. Even though there is intercession for others’ rights, if someone is to take a right from someone else and hasn’t done so in this world, they need to clean it up and give them their right in this world because in the hereafter neither money nor anything else will be accepted. What is accepted there is your good deeds. If you have good deeds, that time only you’ll be able to compensate for the rights of others.
Intercession, well our Holy Prophet can intercede for everybody but if you have tyrannized someone and taken their rights by force, our Holy Prophet will not interfere with those people but only the person who is to take the right. He needs to forgive the other person, and [there] he will ask for something in return.
Therefore, while in this world we need to pay attention and be careful not to take or infringe on anyone’s rights and not to oppress anybody.
People of this world, no matter how much they take away and infringe on the rights of others, they think that they’re clever and that it’s going to benefit them while they have no idea how much it’s harming them. It’s because they have no faith in the Day of Judgment; they don’t believe in it. Since they don’t have that belief, they can do all sorts of injustice and evil things. Those who fear Allah don’t do such things. Those who fear the Day of Judgment and Resurrection don’t do this.
So religion is to protect people. Protect them from what? From hellfire; there can’t be anything worse than that. Some people will be in hell forever and some will stay there till they pay their dues. In this world, some think that they have done a [good] thing and that they have gained something by fooling and oppressing others and by taking things by force from people, but they’re deceived and they’re wrong.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not make us take anyone’s rights Insha Allah.
This happens everywhere, not just with certain people. Sometimes there are traditions or customs and sometimes there are certain nations or people who think that everything of inheritance is left for them whereas they should actually be giving their siblings, relatives or other members of due inheritance their share. Whatever their right is in Islam, that’s how you should give it to people and that’s how you should act.
May Allah protect us from doing such things. May He give us the ability to think correctly and in a right way. May He help us Insha Allah and may He not leave us to our Nafs (ego).
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
