Suhbah 2021: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (5/25)

terwards. Some at a young age, some at an old age. It’s all the predestination of Allah. As much lifetime Allah has given to a person, that’s how much he’ll live.
Disease and this and that are all an excuse. What’s important is for people to know this. Most people don’t even remember or think about this and live life as if they’re never going to die. They work and cultivate all their life time and spend it all in vain and in the end it’s nothing, yet they [also] go to the hereafter with plenty of sins.
Every disease has a cure except for death, says our Holy Prophet. Every illness has a cure. Now they say we can’t find a cure but Allah has made a cure for every illness. People are searching for that. They’re searching for the essential cure but they’re not putting in the most important thing which is: if Allah wills. If you say that, you would be both gaining a reward and getting the cure.
These days of this worldly life are valuable days. We should not waste it in vain. We should always have Allah’s Dhikr (remembrance) in our hearts. The Naqshbandi Tariqa teaches Dhikr Al-Khafi, the silent Dhikr of the heart. You can make that Dhikr at every instant, every minute. To not forget Allah and always remember Allah in your heart, that’s what Dhikr means. You can do it in your heart, all day and all night and then your heart works [with Dhikr] Allah willing.
So may Allah give us all good days in this world. May we not spend a second without Him, without remembering Him Insha Allah. May Allah give us all strong Iman (faith) Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
40.PRAYER IN THE MOSQUE Wednesday, 31 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 [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.’ (Qur’ān 72:18).
Mosques and Masjids are the houses of Allah. A person is the closest to Allah when he is in prayer, in Sajdah but [still] Masjids are the houses of Allah. Allah doesn’t need a house but when people want something, they have to go somewhere. The Masjid is the place to ask and supplicate to Allah. Allah shows it as such a place otherwise nothing, neither the earth nor the heavens fit Allah. He is the creator of everything, He’s not going to fit in a Masjid.
Therefore, Masjids are important. Those who go to the Masjids to pray gain twenty-seven times more rewards. So Masjids must open especially in hard times. But through these Kafirs’ (infidels’) advice, they firstly closed the mosques and Masjids everywhere. This mistake was made but it was made unknowingly, “We are doing good”, they say. We should not make this mistake because Masjids are places to beg Allah Instead of going to the streets, yelling and protesting you should go to the mosque and make Dua to Allah so He may look at you with the look of Inayah (grace) and give you of His Lutf (favors), and it would be a cure for every trouble.
The mosques are the houses of Allah and to go there is to gain from Allah’s Ikram (gifts) and generosity. People give value to certain useless things but the things that need to be given value are the commands of Allah and the things that Allah loves; these are the things that we need to give value to. We should not give value to things that Allah does not like.
So thank Allah this place is the head of the Islamic World. What the head does, the rest follow. So we need to be a good example to other people and to other nations. Being a good example gains you rewards too. Those who follow you and do the good things that you do gain rewards and you gain rewards as well. To do good deeds is to please Allah and to gain His contentment.
So in these hard times for people, they forget the most important thing, they forget Allah; humanity forgets Allah. So this is why humanity falls from one trouble to another and they’re never comfortable. Those who are comfortable and at ease are those who are with Allah. And those who are with Allah Insha Allah should not forget about the mosques. Thank Allah they’re being done, beautiful worships are done but the mosque is the place where we present them in the Presence of Allah; that’s where we should do this. May Allah increase them in numbers and perpetuate them Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
41.GOOD AND BAD Thursday, 1 April 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.
It is said about the shaytan, The shaytan has enslaved people to himself. Instead of being servants to Allah, they’ve become slaves to the shaytan.
The majority of people cannot distinguish between the good and the bad; they see the good as bad and the bad as good. And we see that people even give their lives for what’s wrong and bad. That’s how much they’ve been deceived and fooled by trickery, by being deviated off the path.
Allah says that shaytan doesn’t want goodness for us. Allah says: ‘Shaytan only wants to cause between you enmity and hatred.’ (Qur’ān 05:91).
Shaytan wants all sorts of evil and badness for son of man. People are going after him then when they’re harmed and even when they understand that they’re being harmed, they don’t turn back to Allah. Those who turn back to Allah win. Those who do not turn back are always in harm and at loss. If they do not turn back and repent, this time they will be in eternal damage and harm.
Now they bewitch people's eyes with most of things. Both Muslims and Kafirs (infidels) sometimes think of certain things as reality whereas
there are things that have no truth to them yet people still see them as truth. What is real is what Allah says and what Allah wants.
Others deceive people in order to deviate them off the path. Just like the magicians came against Hadrat Mūsá and bewitched people's eyes, as Allah says in the Holy Quran. People thought something else of it but then they could not stand against Hadrat Mūsá. They all gave themselves away and lost. They lost but they saw the truth and came to Iman (faith). Now people even if they see the truth, shaytan still deceives them. Therefore, we need to be careful. Do not believe everything you see. Research its source then you’ll be able see if it’s true or not. As we said, not everything you see is the truth. Most of the things are lies, most of them are deception and trickery. People do many things for their own benefit.
There is no mercy with shaytan and those who are with shaytan. They show the bad as good and when it comes to themselves they do not apply it; they apply it on others. They think its harm is for others whereas the biggest harm is for themselves. Allah created everything in the best and most beautiful way and gave it to people to be used in the most beautiful way. But people have destroyed and ruined everything for themselves and its harm comes back to them.
Therefore, we need to be thankful for Allah’s blessings and His commands. We need to obey these commands and follow them so that we may reach happiness and salvation, not just for the hereafter but also in this world. When you are against Allah everything goes downhill but when you are with Allah, it gets better and becomes more beautiful. May Allah help us.
May we see the good as truth and the bad as bad and may we stay away from it Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
42.DO IT IMMEDIATELY Friday, 2 April 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 that those who say: “I will do” but do not, have been ruined says our Holy Prophet. “I can’t do it now, I’ll do it later.
There’s work to be done but no, I’ll do it later, I don’t feel like doing it now.” When this becomes a habit, a person leaves off work and everything else saying: “I’ll do it later.” But how are you going to do something [you’ve postponed] later on when there will be more of these works that you’ve accumulated and so you can’t do them later.
So when you are to do something, whatever it may be, don’t leave it for later. Do it immediately whether it’s worldly work or work regarding the hereafter, which is more important of course. Do not say: “I’ll pray later. I’ll fast later. I’ll give my Zakat later”. If you say this, you won’t be able to do it at all. It’ll be more and more [accumulated] later and it’ll be heavier for you and then you won’t be able to do it.
Well, worldly matters may just be delayed or accumulated but if you leave off the works of the hereafter for later, as Qada' (to be made up), Allah knows whether you’ll be able to do it later. Allah knows whether you’re going to live or not. We have no guarantee to live another minute so we have to do it immediately. Whether it’s prayer or fasting, doing it later would both reduce its rewards and Allah knows whether you’ll be able to do it. If you stay alive maybe you can do it later and make it up,
but if not, you will have not done it and so you would be sinning and you’ll have to answer to Allah.
Therefore, when something like this happens do not leave it for tomorrow. If you leave it for tomorrow it will get stale and it won’t be good. Just like stale food or bread is not tasty or good anymore, it’s the same.
Well with worldly things, at least you can eat that again but with works of the hereafter, it will be harder, much harder. We should do all our works without being lazy and while we have the time, we need to perform it. May Allah help us and make it easy for us Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
43.UPSIDE DOWN Saturday, 3 April 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 is capable of everything. Yesterday they said that this disease is spreading again and so they reimposed the curfew today. They say that the disease is spreading and it’s increasing in number. All of this is happening through Allah’s command and wisdom. In order for people to see their inability, Allah has given it as a trial for this world now and this world has turned upside down.
They say that this microbe or whatnot, whatever it is, is a creature that’s dangerous. The dangerous ones are the much bigger and much worse microbes that exist. These microbes cannot be seen and are finishing and ruining humanity. It came out as a result of people being disobedient to Allah and rebelling against Allah and nature. You cannot see those microbes.
Also this one, you cannot see it either. They don’t have a body but they wreck humanity. Neither morals nor trust nor shame is left. Whatever good thing is left, this is what these microbes are set against. Nobody’s talking about how they’re going to save themselves from these things.
Neither governments nor the World Health Organization and whatnot; they’re not looking at this. On the contrary, they’re trying as much as they can and with all their power to make this spread even more. With everything they have, they want these microbes and these filths to spread and increase. What we’re talking about, this corona or whatnot,
nothing remains. At least of those people who’ve gotten sick with it, may Allah give them health and cure, a lot of them have found a cure and have gotten better. And those who have not, if they leave with faith, they reach safety.
The other microbes take you straight to hell and nowhere else. Who is behind this? It’s shaytan. Shaytan’s soldiers have surrounded the whole world because it’s end times, and are showing good as evil and evil as good. So this now is a rehearsal of [the time of] Dajjal (Antichrist). They show hell as heaven and heaven as hell, just like Dajjal is going to do. These ones are holding his place, yet he will come. And when he comes, Mahdi ʿalayhi s-salām will come and clean all these microbes, he will clean all the filth and the world will reach safety.
May Allah make us reach those beautiful days. It’s close Insha Allah. They say that no matter how dark it gets, the dawn is that much closer; the morning is that much closer.
Therefore, we are living in gloom and darkness right now and people don’t know what to do. Instead of turning to Allah, they turn to shaytan. And they will be accounted accordingly. May Allah protect us. May He give Shifa' (cure) to those who are sick. May Allah give strength to our Iman (faith) Insha Allah, that’s the most important thing. May He give our body strength too so we may worship Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
44.ALLAH’S BELOVED SERVANTS Sunday, 4 April 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 has beloved servants. They only ask for Allah’s pleasure. They don’t ask for anything in this world. As for the Hereafter, they again want Allah’s pleasure only.
They don’t want Paradise and Allah won’t put them in hell. There are such beloved servants of Allah that wish to fill hell so that it is closed and no one can enter it. They only ask for Allah’s pleasure, to see the beauty of Allah. Only few understand it.
However, they are the real friends of Allah . They abstained both from Dunyā and Ākhirah. Certainly, Allah has a great reward for them. Not everyone can do this thing. It is a very rare thing. They are hidden in this world. They don’t deal with anyone in this world. They only worship Allah and turn to Him.
Hardships of this world are nothing for them. Hardships and sufferings are like gifts for them. The harder it is, the more pleased they are. People hear very little about them as they don’t reveal themselves. There are some who reveal themselves, but again it’s as if they’re absent because there are very few people who can carry this Maqam (station).
Therefore, they are an example for people. This world is not a permanent place; it is a temporary place that Allah gave us. Giving it
value is not a clever thing and turning to it is wrong. We should turn to Allah. We should be obedient to Allah. Certainly, we cannot be like them. If we are like one of a thousand of them or like one of a hundred thousand of them, it is again a great virtue and a great beauty for us. Hardships and sufferings of this world are like rosewater for them. They don’t even show displeasure on their faces.
People now get angry and fight each other over the smallest things, while this never happens for them. Therefore, they are the beloved ones of Allah. For the honor of their faces, Allah gives us Rizq. And for the honor of their faces, Allah shows mercy to the Ummah. May Allah raise their Maqam Insha Allah.
If we have even an atom of their Iman (faith), it is enough for us. May Allah give us strength from their Iman Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
45.ACCEPT AND FOLLOW ISLAM Tuesday, 6 April 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: ‘Vision comprehends Him not, and He comprehends (all) vision; and He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.’ (Qur’ān 06:103) Allah describes Himself in the Holy Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan. People have asked what He was like. No one can reach Him. No one can see Him but He can see everyone. Allah sees what everybody is doing. Nothing is hidden from Him. Only He sees everything.
Bani Isra'il (children of Isra'il) asked, “What is He like? We want to see Him”. He said, “You cannot see”. Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām wanted to see, too. He said, “You also cannot see”. The essence of Allah cannot be seen or withstood. His beauty and attributes can be manifested to people; they can only see those.
People claim that they are clever and make idols, placing them on thrones. People who say that those are their gods don’t have even an atom of mind. How can your idol create you? You created it by hitting it with a hammer on its head. You made an idol to yourself and then you say: “This created us and we worship it. It will give us benefit.” It will give you nothing but harm; no benefit at all.
Therefore, what Islam teaches and shows is the highest wisdom, the highest knowledge. It is beneficial for people both here and hereafter.
Who doesn’t accept it and doesn’t follow it cannot reach any benefit; he is doing nothing in this world anyway. And in Ākhirah, this person brings himself to a bad ending.
Therefore, the Religion of Islam, thank Allah, teaches everything both for Dunyā and Ākhirah. If a person follows just a part of it, he will be saved. If he doesn’t follow, he can claim as much as he wants that he is this and that, [yet] it’s of no use.
May Allah protect us. May Allah make us from the knowing ones Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
46.THE HOUSES OF ALLAH MUST BE OPENED Wednesday, 7 April 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 [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.’ (Qur’ān 72:18).
Mosques and Masjids are the houses of Allah. The ruling of Allah applies there. Allah let us know this through our Holy Prophet. No harm comes from mosques; no harm comes from the houses of Allah. Only benefit comes from the houses of Allah. If there is a trouble, it will be gone not by closing down the houses of Allah but by opening them.
People can’t understand this and they are doing the complete opposite. When there is a problem, they go firstly against the houses of Allah and they close them. What is there? Are there microbes? They are clean. People come in after cleaning themselves, to the Presence of Allah. They don’t go to do something bad. They go in order to do something good, to beg Allah. A prayer made in a mosque, a prayer made in Jama’ah (congregation) is twenty-seven times superior to a normal prayer [offered alone]. It is counted not only as 100% but as 2,700%; it isn’t an easy/little thing [in value]. However, there is no Iman (faith) now. There is Islam but no Iman.
Everyone is a so-called Muslim but when it comes to reality, they cannot pass the test. They are failing it. Starting from the biggest to the smallest [test], we are failing them all. They are professors and all, studying and
learning about Iman yet when it comes to applying it, they cannot do anything and they fail.
This trouble is all over the world now. This trouble will only go by begging Allah, by repenting and asking for forgiveness from Allah. Allah is showing the weakness of people. They do one thing, it doesn’t work. They do another thing, it doesn’t work either. Only by relying on Allah and asking for help from Allah that this trouble can be lifted. Otherwise, it will continue.
Shaytan is making up excuses in order to close down mosques. Who will benefit from closing the mosques? Shaytan will. There is no other benefit of it. If there is anyone who says that there is benefit in closing the mosques, let him come out against Allah and he will see how Allah will treat him then. May Allah protect us.
This world goes on with Duas (prayers), with the Duas of some holy people. Our Prophet says: “If there hadn’t been these holy people, neither would it rain, nor would you have Rizq”. For the honor of these holy ones, Allah gives Rizq and makes it rain. And with their Barakah (blessings), these troubles will go. Therefore, some people are doing these things easily and without [giving it] importance. Mosques are being closed. They say, “Let them close. We can pray at home”. Your praying at home is different. This has another big meaning. May Allah protect us. You are showing arrogance and coming against Allah. You have badness at home, you have sickness and microbes at home. Cure is from Allah. Every good thing is from Allah. There cannot be such lack of Adab.
May Allah protect us. We are asking for forgiveness and repentance. Astaghfirullah. People are doing it without knowing. May Allah give them understanding. May Allah give Iman to all of us Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
47.A TRADE WITHOUT LOSS Saturday, 10 April 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 do good that you may succeed.’ (Qur’ān 22:77).
Do good deeds, says Allah. You will reach salvation. To do good deeds is not for everyone. When doing something, most people look for interest and ask for something in return. Therefore, you should do good deeds for the pleasure of Allah. You should ask for benefit from Allah so that He gives it to you in return.
If you do good deeds for Dunyā, it has no value, it has no benefit. You say that you do good to someone yet he does not deserve it. Goodness does not go for nothing. If you do it for the pleasure of Allah, that goodness does not go for nothing. And if you do it for a worldly interest, then it does go for nothing.
There are different levels of good deeds for everyone. When a normal person doesn’t do good to some people, beloved servants of Allah do good to everyone, regardless if they deserve it or not. They do good and ask for the pleasure of Allah. They put the pleasure of Allah above everything. The pleasure of Allah is the biggest interest for mankind; there is nothing greater than this.
No one’s contentment is useful. Most people say, “I helped this person and did good to him but he doesn’t deserve it”. Only ignorant people say so. Beloved servants of Allah say, “I did this for the pleasure of Allah. Insha Allah it will be means to turning well for this man and I’ll earn the pleasure of Allah
Most people want to make trade in this world. Whereas when you trade with Allah, you’ll be in profit.
When you say, “I invited him once but he didn’t invite me back. I won’t invite him again”, “I helped him but he didn’t help me back”, this is not for the pleasure of Allah, but for trade. You do something for a return interest. Allah is giving us for free. Prophets are giving us for free. They don’t ask for anything in return.
Believers should also give for free. While giving, they should say, “I do it for the pleasure of Allah”. They won’t lose anything then. And what seems like loss in Dunyā will be multiplied in Ākhirah with permission of Allah.
May Allah let us always do good deeds. May we not regret our actions. Don’t ever say that a person doesn’t deserve your goodness. You did for the pleasure of Allah, so let your trade be with Allah, not with the servant of Allah. May Allah give strength to our Iman (faith). Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
48.THE REUNITER Monday, 19 April 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.
“Shukr to Allah, The Reuniter”. We had a hodja, may Allah bless him. It is being a means to mercy for him. When there are good memories, they become means to mercy. Why am I saying this? Because every day I went to the Dergah, he would be at the door. He would open the door and say, “Shukr to The Reuniter”. It was strange for us and we used to say, “We were together last night, and this morning you say Shukr to The Reuniter”. It was like a joke.
However, we have to make Shukr to Allah for every minute, indeed. What will happen in a minute? What will happen in an hour? Will we reunite the next day, or not? There is a wisdom in this. Therefore, the meaning of “Shukr to The Reuniter” is Shukr to Allah. Allah reunited and gathered us again. Shukr for the favors He gives. We shouldn’t forget Allah, not for a minute, not for a second. All praise be to Allah, endless gratitude be to Allah!
Certainly, these days are beautiful days, blessed days of Ramadan. Allah is giving us favors in everything. In sickness and health, His favors are endless. That is why, to make Shukr to Allah is good for us. Besides, it is Fard. Because Allah increases the favors of those who make Shukr. Firstly, we have to make Shukr for the favor of Islam and Iman (faith); may it increase above all. When it increases, everything else follows; nothing is lacking then.
May Allah give us true Iman so that we don’t see hardships of this world. Just like we don’t feel troubles during Ramadan, it is the same when we have Iman; we don’t worry about problems.
May our goal be the pleasure of Allah. May our goal be the love of Allah, the love of the Holy Prophet, the love of the Awliya. When He is in our heart, there is no place for other things. If there is a place [for other things], then everything will be destroyed. The heart is only for Allah, not for other things. They can be anywhere outside your heart but the heart should be only for Allah, the love of Allah, the love of the Holy Prophet. It is the place for the beloved ones of Allah Insha Allah. May Allah give us strength and be our supporter Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
49.STAY AWAY FROM BAD PEOPLE Tuesday, 20 April 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.
The luckiest among people is the one who believes in Allah and is Muslim. The unluckiest is the one who comes against Allah. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, ‘When the most wretched of them was sent forth.’ (Qur’ān 91:12).
It means the wretched person, the worst person is the unlucky person. Their luck is bad. They have never benefited from Allah’s favors and they come against Allah. Such things have always been among people.
But as it is the end of times now, people of that type became a lot. They commit a sin and think that they’ve done something big in front of Allah and people. Led by their arrogance, they make sins demonstrating them. They have no shame, no embarrassment. Moreover, they want people to like them and be like them. They pulled Allah’s affliction towards themselves and they are in this affliction. It is not anything else. It’s not a favor, it is only affliction. We should stay away from such people. These people are worthless, they have no value. To respect them or to try to please them and to bother believing servants of Allah is useless.
Also in the end of times, people are scared. In order to avoid their harm, they flatter them so that no harm comes from them. The more you do so, the worse they become. They burst with pride and go wilder.
Therefore, there’s no need at all to show respect to such people, to people who come against Allah. There’s no need to value them. You should value the friends of Allah. Don’t be scared from those who come against Allah. If you stop mentioning them, they are just worthless people; as they don’t have any value and no benefit comes from them. You can serve them as much as you want and you will be harmed anyway.
An Arab poet said, “Be generous to a generous person and you'd win him, be generous to a mean person and he'd rebel on you.”
When you do good to a good person, he will become your servant; you will become his master. And when you do good to a bad person, he will become just worse.
Therefore, we say to everyone that we are living in the end of times, stay away from bad people because they have no benefit here and their end is bad in the hereafter. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from their harm because they are wretched people. Goodness will never come from them. May Allah protect the Ummah (nation), this country and the whole Islamic world. May Allah help us.
May Allah give understanding to all Muslims and may we be with the good ones Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
50.THE HIGHEST RANK Wednesday, 21 April 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: ‘So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.’ Allah says, “Do not ever be upset. You are on the highest stations”. (Qur’ān 03:139).
If you are a believer, this rank is higher than the highest rank in this world. Don’t be upset. Don’t see yourself lower than others. Certainly, humbleness is good for Muslims in Islam. We have to thank Allah for everything. Islām is glorious and miraculous. Islām is Great. Our Holy Prophet says in a hadith : Islām is always superior and can never be surpassed. There is nothing higher than Islām. is glorious and miraculous. All these weird philosophic ideas and systems are useless things. Useless things cannot be good.
The good and everlasting, the great is Islam.Since the time of our Holy Prophet until now, there have been a hundred thousand useless systems put forth. None of them has remained. Only Islam is lasting. Islam is eternal. They keep saying eternal but only Islam is eternal. The rest will be gone like everything else. Follow Islam, you will be in profit. If you don’t follow Islam, you will be swept away like garbage. Just like a hundred thousand useless thoughts and philosophic ideas have been swept away, just like they turned out useless, you will end up useless too if you do something outside Islam.
Therefore, there is nothing to compare with Islam. No need to look up to others who claim that they are so and so. If you want to look up to someone, there is our Holy Prophet, there are the Saḥābah, Awliya’ and true Murshids. If you look up to them, you will have profit. You will earn the pleasure of Allah and increase your rank.
May Allah let us be with them and may He increase their love. When there is love, we will be with them insha’Allah. Love good people so that you are with them in the end.
Our Holy Prophet says, “A man will be with whom he loves.” If you love shaytan, may Allah forbid and may Allah protect us, if you love shaytan’s soldiers and enemies of Allah, you will be together with them.
If you love our Holy Prophet, his Saḥābah and believers, you will be with them. May Allah let us be with them.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
51.THE SECRET AND THE TRUTH Friday, 23 April 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: ‘Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.’ (Qur’ān 13:28). If people want peace and satisfaction, they should remembe

terwards. Some at a young age, some at an old age. It’s all the predestination of Allah. As much lifetime Allah has given to a person, that’s how much he’ll live.
Disease and this and that are all an excuse. What’s important is for people to know this. Most people don’t even remember or think about this and live life as if they’re never going to die. They work and cultivate all their life time and spend it all in vain and in the end it’s nothing, yet they [also] go to the hereafter with plenty of sins.
Every disease has a cure except for death, says our Holy Prophet. Every illness has a cure. Now they say we can’t find a cure but Allah has made a cure for every illness. People are searching for that. They’re searching for the essential cure but they’re not putting in the most important thing which is: if Allah wills. If you say that, you would be both gaining a reward and getting the cure.
These days of this worldly life are valuable days. We should not waste it in vain. We should always have Allah’s Dhikr (remembrance) in our hearts. The Naqshbandi Tariqa teaches Dhikr Al-Khafi, the silent Dhikr of the heart. You can make that Dhikr at every instant, every minute. To not forget Allah and always remember Allah in your heart, that’s what Dhikr means. You can do it in your heart, all day and all night and then your heart works [with Dhikr] Allah willing.
So may Allah give us all good days in this world. May we not spend a second without Him, without remembering Him Insha Allah. May Allah give us all strong Iman (faith) Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
40.PRAYER IN THE MOSQUE Wednesday, 31 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 [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.’ (Qur’ān 72:18).
Mosques and Masjids are the houses of Allah. A person is the closest to Allah when he is in prayer, in Sajdah but [still] Masjids are the houses of Allah. Allah doesn’t need a house but when people want something, they have to go somewhere. The Masjid is the place to ask and supplicate to Allah. Allah shows it as such a place otherwise nothing, neither the earth nor the heavens fit Allah. He is the creator of everything, He’s not going to fit in a Masjid.
Therefore, Masjids are important. Those who go to the Masjids to pray gain twenty-seven times more rewards. So Masjids must open especially in hard times. But through these Kafirs’ (infidels’) advice, they firstly closed the mosques and Masjids everywhere. This mistake was made but it was made unknowingly, “We are doing good”, they say. We should not make this mistake because Masjids are places to beg Allah Instead of going to the streets, yelling and protesting you should go to the mosque and make Dua to Allah so He may look at you with the look of Inayah (grace) and give you of His Lutf (favors), and it would be a cure for every trouble.
The mosques are the houses of Allah and to go there is to gain from Allah’s Ikram (gifts) and generosity. People give value to certain useless things but the things that need to be given value are the commands of Allah and the things that Allah loves; these are the things that we need to give value to. We should not give value to things that Allah does not like.
So thank Allah this place is the head of the Islamic World. What the head does, the rest follow. So we need to be a good example to other people and to other nations. Being a good example gains you rewards too. Those who follow you and do the good things that you do gain rewards and you gain rewards as well. To do good deeds is to please Allah and to gain His contentment.
So in these hard times for people, they forget the most important thing, they forget Allah; humanity forgets Allah. So this is why humanity falls from one trouble to another and they’re never comfortable. Those who are comfortable and at ease are those who are with Allah. And those who are with Allah Insha Allah should not forget about the mosques. Thank Allah they’re being done, beautiful worships are done but the mosque is the place where we present them in the Presence of Allah; that’s where we should do this. May Allah increase them in numbers and perpetuate them Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
41.GOOD AND BAD Thursday, 1 April 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.
It is said about the shaytan, The shaytan has enslaved people to himself. Instead of being servants to Allah, they’ve become slaves to the shaytan.
The majority of people cannot distinguish between the good and the bad; they see the good as bad and the bad as good. And we see that people even give their lives for what’s wrong and bad. That’s how much they’ve been deceived and fooled by trickery, by being deviated off the path.
Allah says that shaytan doesn’t want goodness for us. Allah says: ‘Shaytan only wants to cause between you enmity and hatred.’ (Qur’ān 05:91).
Shaytan wants all sorts of evil and badness for son of man. People are going after him then when they’re harmed and even when they understand that they’re being harmed, they don’t turn back to Allah. Those who turn back to Allah win. Those who do not turn back are always in harm and at loss. If they do not turn back and repent, this time they will be in eternal damage and harm.
Now they bewitch people's eyes with most of things. Both Muslims and Kafirs (infidels) sometimes think of certain things as reality whereas
there are things that have no truth to them yet people still see them as truth. What is real is what Allah says and what Allah wants.
Others deceive people in order to deviate them off the path. Just like the magicians came against Hadrat Mūsá and bewitched people's eyes, as Allah says in the Holy Quran. People thought something else of it but then they could not stand against Hadrat Mūsá. They all gave themselves away and lost. They lost but they saw the truth and came to Iman (faith). Now people even if they see the truth, shaytan still deceives them. Therefore, we need to be careful. Do not believe everything you see. Research its source then you’ll be able see if it’s true or not. As we said, not everything you see is the truth. Most of the things are lies, most of them are deception and trickery. People do many things for their own benefit.
There is no mercy with shaytan and those who are with shaytan. They show the bad as good and when it comes to themselves they do not apply it; they apply it on others. They think its harm is for others whereas the biggest harm is for themselves. Allah created everything in the best and most beautiful way and gave it to people to be used in the most beautiful way. But people have destroyed and ruined everything for themselves and its harm comes back to them.
Therefore, we need to be thankful for Allah’s blessings and His commands. We need to obey these commands and follow them so that we may reach happiness and salvation, not just for the hereafter but also in this world. When you are against Allah everything goes downhill but when you are with Allah, it gets better and becomes more beautiful. May Allah help us.
May we see the good as truth and the bad as bad and may we stay away from it Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
42.DO IT IMMEDIATELY Friday, 2 April 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 that those who say: “I will do” but do not, have been ruined says our Holy Prophet. “I can’t do it now, I’ll do it later.
There’s work to be done but no, I’ll do it later, I don’t feel like doing it now.” When this becomes a habit, a person leaves off work and everything else saying: “I’ll do it later.” But how are you going to do something [you’ve postponed] later on when there will be more of these works that you’ve accumulated and so you can’t do them later.
So when you are to do something, whatever it may be, don’t leave it for later. Do it immediately whether it’s worldly work or work regarding the hereafter, which is more important of course. Do not say: “I’ll pray later. I’ll fast later. I’ll give my Zakat later”. If you say this, you won’t be able to do it at all. It’ll be more and more [accumulated] later and it’ll be heavier for you and then you won’t be able to do it.
Well, worldly matters may just be delayed or accumulated but if you leave off the works of the hereafter for later, as Qada' (to be made up), Allah knows whether you’ll be able to do it later. Allah knows whether you’re going to live or not. We have no guarantee to live another minute so we have to do it immediately. Whether it’s prayer or fasting, doing it later would both reduce its rewards and Allah knows whether you’ll be able to do it. If you stay alive maybe you can do it later and make it up,
but if not, you will have not done it and so you would be sinning and you’ll have to answer to Allah.
Therefore, when something like this happens do not leave it for tomorrow. If you leave it for tomorrow it will get stale and it won’t be good. Just like stale food or bread is not tasty or good anymore, it’s the same.
Well with worldly things, at least you can eat that again but with works of the hereafter, it will be harder, much harder. We should do all our works without being lazy and while we have the time, we need to perform it. May Allah help us and make it easy for us Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
43.UPSIDE DOWN Saturday, 3 April 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 is capable of everything. Yesterday they said that this disease is spreading again and so they reimposed the curfew today. They say that the disease is spreading and it’s increasing in number. All of this is happening through Allah’s command and wisdom. In order for people to see their inability, Allah has given it as a trial for this world now and this world has turned upside down.
They say that this microbe or whatnot, whatever it is, is a creature that’s dangerous. The dangerous ones are the much bigger and much worse microbes that exist. These microbes cannot be seen and are finishing and ruining humanity. It came out as a result of people being disobedient to Allah and rebelling against Allah and nature. You cannot see those microbes.
Also this one, you cannot see it either. They don’t have a body but they wreck humanity. Neither morals nor trust nor shame is left. Whatever good thing is left, this is what these microbes are set against. Nobody’s talking about how they’re going to save themselves from these things.
Neither governments nor the World Health Organization and whatnot; they’re not looking at this. On the contrary, they’re trying as much as they can and with all their power to make this spread even more. With everything they have, they want these microbes and these filths to spread and increase. What we’re talking about, this corona or whatnot,
nothing remains. At least of those people who’ve gotten sick with it, may Allah give them health and cure, a lot of them have found a cure and have gotten better. And those who have not, if they leave with faith, they reach safety.
The other microbes take you straight to hell and nowhere else. Who is behind this? It’s shaytan. Shaytan’s soldiers have surrounded the whole world because it’s end times, and are showing good as evil and evil as good. So this now is a rehearsal of [the time of] Dajjal (Antichrist). They show hell as heaven and heaven as hell, just like Dajjal is going to do. These ones are holding his place, yet he will come. And when he comes, Mahdi ʿalayhi s-salām will come and clean all these microbes, he will clean all the filth and the world will reach safety.
May Allah make us reach those beautiful days. It’s close Insha Allah. They say that no matter how dark it gets, the dawn is that much closer; the morning is that much closer.
Therefore, we are living in gloom and darkness right now and people don’t know what to do. Instead of turning to Allah, they turn to shaytan. And they will be accounted accordingly. May Allah protect us. May He give Shifa' (cure) to those who are sick. May Allah give strength to our Iman (faith) Insha Allah, that’s the most important thing. May He give our body strength too so we may worship Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
44.ALLAH’S BELOVED SERVANTS Sunday, 4 April 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 has beloved servants. They only ask for Allah’s pleasure. They don’t ask for anything in this world. As for the Hereafter, they again want Allah’s pleasure only.
They don’t want Paradise and Allah won’t put them in hell. There are such beloved servants of Allah that wish to fill hell so that it is closed and no one can enter it. They only ask for Allah’s pleasure, to see the beauty of Allah. Only few understand it.
However, they are the real friends of Allah . They abstained both from Dunyā and Ākhirah. Certainly, Allah has a great reward for them. Not everyone can do this thing. It is a very rare thing. They are hidden in this world. They don’t deal with anyone in this world. They only worship Allah and turn to Him.
Hardships of this world are nothing for them. Hardships and sufferings are like gifts for them. The harder it is, the more pleased they are. People hear very little about them as they don’t reveal themselves. There are some who reveal themselves, but again it’s as if they’re absent because there are very few people who can carry this Maqam (station).
Therefore, they are an example for people. This world is not a permanent place; it is a temporary place that Allah gave us. Giving it
value is not a clever thing and turning to it is wrong. We should turn to Allah. We should be obedient to Allah. Certainly, we cannot be like them. If we are like one of a thousand of them or like one of a hundred thousand of them, it is again a great virtue and a great beauty for us. Hardships and sufferings of this world are like rosewater for them. They don’t even show displeasure on their faces.
People now get angry and fight each other over the smallest things, while this never happens for them. Therefore, they are the beloved ones of Allah. For the honor of their faces, Allah gives us Rizq. And for the honor of their faces, Allah shows mercy to the Ummah. May Allah raise their Maqam Insha Allah.
If we have even an atom of their Iman (faith), it is enough for us. May Allah give us strength from their Iman Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
45.ACCEPT AND FOLLOW ISLAM Tuesday, 6 April 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: ‘Vision comprehends Him not, and He comprehends (all) vision; and He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.’ (Qur’ān 06:103) Allah describes Himself in the Holy Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan. People have asked what He was like. No one can reach Him. No one can see Him but He can see everyone. Allah sees what everybody is doing. Nothing is hidden from Him. Only He sees everything.
Bani Isra'il (children of Isra'il) asked, “What is He like? We want to see Him”. He said, “You cannot see”. Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām wanted to see, too. He said, “You also cannot see”. The essence of Allah cannot be seen or withstood. His beauty and attributes can be manifested to people; they can only see those.
People claim that they are clever and make idols, placing them on thrones. People who say that those are their gods don’t have even an atom of mind. How can your idol create you? You created it by hitting it with a hammer on its head. You made an idol to yourself and then you say: “This created us and we worship it. It will give us benefit.” It will give you nothing but harm; no benefit at all.
Therefore, what Islam teaches and shows is the highest wisdom, the highest knowledge. It is beneficial for people both here and hereafter.
Who doesn’t accept it and doesn’t follow it cannot reach any benefit; he is doing nothing in this world anyway. And in Ākhirah, this person brings himself to a bad ending.
Therefore, the Religion of Islam, thank Allah, teaches everything both for Dunyā and Ākhirah. If a person follows just a part of it, he will be saved. If he doesn’t follow, he can claim as much as he wants that he is this and that, [yet] it’s of no use.
May Allah protect us. May Allah make us from the knowing ones Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
46.THE HOUSES OF ALLAH MUST BE OPENED Wednesday, 7 April 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 [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.’ (Qur’ān 72:18).
Mosques and Masjids are the houses of Allah. The ruling of Allah applies there. Allah let us know this through our Holy Prophet. No harm comes from mosques; no harm comes from the houses of Allah. Only benefit comes from the houses of Allah. If there is a trouble, it will be gone not by closing down the houses of Allah but by opening them.
People can’t understand this and they are doing the complete opposite. When there is a problem, they go firstly against the houses of Allah and they close them. What is there? Are there microbes? They are clean. People come in after cleaning themselves, to the Presence of Allah. They don’t go to do something bad. They go in order to do something good, to beg Allah. A prayer made in a mosque, a prayer made in Jama’ah (congregation) is twenty-seven times superior to a normal prayer [offered alone]. It is counted not only as 100% but as 2,700%; it isn’t an easy/little thing [in value]. However, there is no Iman (faith) now. There is Islam but no Iman.
Everyone is a so-called Muslim but when it comes to reality, they cannot pass the test. They are failing it. Starting from the biggest to the smallest [test], we are failing them all. They are professors and all, studying and
learning about Iman yet when it comes to applying it, they cannot do anything and they fail.
This trouble is all over the world now. This trouble will only go by begging Allah, by repenting and asking for forgiveness from Allah. Allah is showing the weakness of people. They do one thing, it doesn’t work. They do another thing, it doesn’t work either. Only by relying on Allah and asking for help from Allah that this trouble can be lifted. Otherwise, it will continue.
Shaytan is making up excuses in order to close down mosques. Who will benefit from closing the mosques? Shaytan will. There is no other benefit of it. If there is anyone who says that there is benefit in closing the mosques, let him come out against Allah and he will see how Allah will treat him then. May Allah protect us.
This world goes on with Duas (prayers), with the Duas of some holy people. Our Prophet says: “If there hadn’t been these holy people, neither would it rain, nor would you have Rizq”. For the honor of these holy ones, Allah gives Rizq and makes it rain. And with their Barakah (blessings), these troubles will go. Therefore, some people are doing these things easily and without [giving it] importance. Mosques are being closed. They say, “Let them close. We can pray at home”. Your praying at home is different. This has another big meaning. May Allah protect us. You are showing arrogance and coming against Allah. You have badness at home, you have sickness and microbes at home. Cure is from Allah. Every good thing is from Allah. There cannot be such lack of Adab.
May Allah protect us. We are asking for forgiveness and repentance. Astaghfirullah. People are doing it without knowing. May Allah give them understanding. May Allah give Iman to all of us Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
47.A TRADE WITHOUT LOSS Saturday, 10 April 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 do good that you may succeed.’ (Qur’ān 22:77).
Do good deeds, says Allah. You will reach salvation. To do good deeds is not for everyone. When doing something, most people look for interest and ask for something in return. Therefore, you should do good deeds for the pleasure of Allah. You should ask for benefit from Allah so that He gives it to you in return.
If you do good deeds for Dunyā, it has no value, it has no benefit. You say that you do good to someone yet he does not deserve it. Goodness does not go for nothing. If you do it for the pleasure of Allah, that goodness does not go for nothing. And if you do it for a worldly interest, then it does go for nothing.
There are different levels of good deeds for everyone. When a normal person doesn’t do good to some people, beloved servants of Allah do good to everyone, regardless if they deserve it or not. They do good and ask for the pleasure of Allah. They put the pleasure of Allah above everything. The pleasure of Allah is the biggest interest for mankind; there is nothing greater than this.
No one’s contentment is useful. Most people say, “I helped this person and did good to him but he doesn’t deserve it”. Only ignorant people say so. Beloved servants of Allah say, “I did this for the pleasure of Allah. Insha Allah it will be means to turning well for this man and I’ll earn the pleasure of Allah
Most people want to make trade in this world. Whereas when you trade with Allah, you’ll be in profit.
When you say, “I invited him once but he didn’t invite me back. I won’t invite him again”, “I helped him but he didn’t help me back”, this is not for the pleasure of Allah, but for trade. You do something for a return interest. Allah is giving us for free. Prophets are giving us for free. They don’t ask for anything in return.
Believers should also give for free. While giving, they should say, “I do it for the pleasure of Allah”. They won’t lose anything then. And what seems like loss in Dunyā will be multiplied in Ākhirah with permission of Allah.
May Allah let us always do good deeds. May we not regret our actions. Don’t ever say that a person doesn’t deserve your goodness. You did for the pleasure of Allah, so let your trade be with Allah, not with the servant of Allah. May Allah give strength to our Iman (faith). Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
48.THE REUNITER Monday, 19 April 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.
“Shukr to Allah, The Reuniter”. We had a hodja, may Allah bless him. It is being a means to mercy for him. When there are good memories, they become means to mercy. Why am I saying this? Because every day I went to the Dergah, he would be at the door. He would open the door and say, “Shukr to The Reuniter”. It was strange for us and we used to say, “We were together last night, and this morning you say Shukr to The Reuniter”. It was like a joke.
However, we have to make Shukr to Allah for every minute, indeed. What will happen in a minute? What will happen in an hour? Will we reunite the next day, or not? There is a wisdom in this. Therefore, the meaning of “Shukr to The Reuniter” is Shukr to Allah. Allah reunited and gathered us again. Shukr for the favors He gives. We shouldn’t forget Allah, not for a minute, not for a second. All praise be to Allah, endless gratitude be to Allah!
Certainly, these days are beautiful days, blessed days of Ramadan. Allah is giving us favors in everything. In sickness and health, His favors are endless. That is why, to make Shukr to Allah is good for us. Besides, it is Fard. Because Allah increases the favors of those who make Shukr. Firstly, we have to make Shukr for the favor of Islam and Iman (faith); may it increase above all. When it increases, everything else follows; nothing is lacking then.
May Allah give us true Iman so that we don’t see hardships of this world. Just like we don’t feel troubles during Ramadan, it is the same when we have Iman; we don’t worry about problems.
May our goal be the pleasure of Allah. May our goal be the love of Allah, the love of the Holy Prophet, the love of the Awliya. When He is in our heart, there is no place for other things. If there is a place [for other things], then everything will be destroyed. The heart is only for Allah, not for other things. They can be anywhere outside your heart but the heart should be only for Allah, the love of Allah, the love of the Holy Prophet. It is the place for the beloved ones of Allah Insha Allah. May Allah give us strength and be our supporter Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
49.STAY AWAY FROM BAD PEOPLE Tuesday, 20 April 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.
The luckiest among people is the one who believes in Allah and is Muslim. The unluckiest is the one who comes against Allah. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, ‘When the most wretched of them was sent forth.’ (Qur’ān 91:12).
It means the wretched person, the worst person is the unlucky person. Their luck is bad. They have never benefited from Allah’s favors and they come against Allah. Such things have always been among people.
But as it is the end of times now, people of that type became a lot. They commit a sin and think that they’ve done something big in front of Allah and people. Led by their arrogance, they make sins demonstrating them. They have no shame, no embarrassment. Moreover, they want people to like them and be like them. They pulled Allah’s affliction towards themselves and they are in this affliction. It is not anything else. It’s not a favor, it is only affliction. We should stay away from such people. These people are worthless, they have no value. To respect them or to try to please them and to bother believing servants of Allah is useless.
Also in the end of times, people are scared. In order to avoid their harm, they flatter them so that no harm comes from them. The more you do so, the worse they become. They burst with pride and go wilder.
Therefore, there’s no need at all to show respect to such people, to people who come against Allah. There’s no need to value them. You should value the friends of Allah. Don’t be scared from those who come against Allah. If you stop mentioning them, they are just worthless people; as they don’t have any value and no benefit comes from them. You can serve them as much as you want and you will be harmed anyway.
An Arab poet said, “Be generous to a generous person and you'd win him, be generous to a mean person and he'd rebel on you.”
When you do good to a good person, he will become your servant; you will become his master. And when you do good to a bad person, he will become just worse.
Therefore, we say to everyone that we are living in the end of times, stay away from bad people because they have no benefit here and their end is bad in the hereafter. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from their harm because they are wretched people. Goodness will never come from them. May Allah protect the Ummah (nation), this country and the whole Islamic world. May Allah help us.
May Allah give understanding to all Muslims and may we be with the good ones Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
50.THE HIGHEST RANK Wednesday, 21 April 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: ‘So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.’ Allah says, “Do not ever be upset. You are on the highest stations”. (Qur’ān 03:139).
If you are a believer, this rank is higher than the highest rank in this world. Don’t be upset. Don’t see yourself lower than others. Certainly, humbleness is good for Muslims in Islam. We have to thank Allah for everything. Islām is glorious and miraculous. Islām is Great. Our Holy Prophet says in a hadith : Islām is always superior and can never be surpassed. There is nothing higher than Islām. is glorious and miraculous. All these weird philosophic ideas and systems are useless things. Useless things cannot be good.
The good and everlasting, the great is Islam.Since the time of our Holy Prophet until now, there have been a hundred thousand useless systems put forth. None of them has remained. Only Islam is lasting. Islam is eternal. They keep saying eternal but only Islam is eternal. The rest will be gone like everything else. Follow Islam, you will be in profit. If you don’t follow Islam, you will be swept away like garbage. Just like a hundred thousand useless thoughts and philosophic ideas have been swept away, just like they turned out useless, you will end up useless too if you do something outside Islam.
Therefore, there is nothing to compare with Islam. No need to look up to others who claim that they are so and so. If you want to look up to someone, there is our Holy Prophet, there are the Saḥābah, Awliya’ and true Murshids. If you look up to them, you will have profit. You will earn the pleasure of Allah and increase your rank.
May Allah let us be with them and may He increase their love. When there is love, we will be with them insha’Allah. Love good people so that you are with them in the end.
Our Holy Prophet says, “A man will be with whom he loves.” If you love shaytan, may Allah forbid and may Allah protect us, if you love shaytan’s soldiers and enemies of Allah, you will be together with them.
If you love our Holy Prophet, his Saḥābah and believers, you will be with them. May Allah let us be with them.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah states in the Holy Quran: ‘Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.’ (Qur’ān 13:28). If people want peace and satisfaction, they should remembe
