Suhbah 2021: Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil ar-Rabbani (11/25)
https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5586
ief by belief in Allāh. They should believe in this.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said so in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, His Eternal Word, to the Holy Prophet and to us. It is the beautiful Word of Allāh. If everyone believes and accepts it, all kinds of goodness will happen for them. And if they complain about things that happened to them, they will be devastated trying to figure out what is the reason, if they fell down or ate something wrong, or they drank something. It came from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He wanted this. Just like He wanted these hardships, only Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla can remove them and give you relief. And when He wishes people good, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives goodness. No one can prevent His wish. No one can prevent Him. Even
if the whole world is against, it cannot prevent the will of Allāh. And when Allāh gives from His favours, even people, who think they are something important, resist with all their weapons and bombs, those favours will reach people.
This is our condition now. The poor condition of this world is because of faithlessness. This illness has come. While people are guessing if it started in China or America, in one place or another, from such and such animal, they are forgetting the main source. And because they forget, they cannot reach a conclusion. As a result, it happened by the will of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. It may have occurred in a factory or in a laboratory, in a farm or in an animal market. If it wasn’t the will of Allah, it wouldn't have occurred. And as it is by the will of Allāh, If it wasn't the will of Allāh Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will remove it as well. This is the way it is. And there is a ḥadīth of our Holy Prophet a bedouin asked him, when he heard this āyah, "Should we get treatment when we get sick?" "Of course be treated," said our Holy Prophet. But know that cure comes with the belief in Allāh The cure is from Allāh. You must accept this in order to be cured. If you say that a doctor cures you, some people believe in Allāh but still they think cure is coming from the doctor, then it has no benefit for them. Eventually, mankind will pass away anyway. But when they say that by the favour of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla, this medicine was effective and the cure came with this doctor by the order of Allāh, then they will receive its reward. They will be rewarded for sickness and make shukr to Allāh for recovery. They will have not forgotten Allāh.
People of the end of times swear at diseases and say various things. They blame this and that. No need to blame anyone. Everything is possible in this world. Nothing is impossible in this world. Prepare yourself accordingly. As we always say, it is dunyā here, not a Paradise. When you go to Paradise, everything will be nice. And anything can happen any moment here – anything – good and bad. But that is not important. It is important to guard our faith. You are being tested. And a test can be very big, may Allāh protect us. You can both fail the test and commit a sin. Therefore, we should know that everything is by the
kindness and favour of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He said, "Everything by His will." It's the āyah we read. "Wa-in yamsaska Llāhu bi-ḍurrin fa-lā kāshifa lahu illā Hū" (6:17). This what Allāh wants. If He wants something difficult for you, it must be. Because it is His will. He can... Nobody can stop in front of His will. And it is, can be this from Allāh but you must be believe for this. What happen, it's coming from Allāh. If it is bad – also from Allāh. But who he has belief, he must believe also Allāh, He will take this from on him. If any illness or other thing happen, Allāh, when He want – you pray for, ask Him for to take this bad thing on, from you – He can do. Nobody else can do. And when He want something for people, for good thing for human or for men or for women, nobody can prevent this from to be happen. Even whole countries coming against this, nothing can be happened against this. Because Allāh will stronger from anything.
And it is good tiding for us, for people who are nowadays, they are hopeless, they are anxious, they have every "Why this happen?" Because they don't have belief. If they believe for this, they will be rest and happy because they know this is the will of Allāh and it will be happen. If you are happy or not happy, it happen. But if you are happy and believe what happen, Allāh will reward you and maybe take this from you, make you safe. But if not, what happen now, if you see whole world like they said, world war. No, no any country they safe from this.
Everybody, they are anxious and most of people, they have problem, psychology problem from this. Little or more, small or big, they have this. Why, for what this? Because they are only believe everything happen, happen by themself, by other people, by maybe other country.
Now they are living in this situation of illness. They are accusing from maybe China, they accusing America, they accusing Europe, they accusing anything else. But all this what happen by will of Allāh. it's coming from laboratory or factory or coming from farm or coming from grocery or other thing – all this, it is by will of Allāh. Nothing can be
without of His will. Everything by His will and you must believe for this.
There is, they trying hard to take this belief from people and they are nearly succeed. Most of people they don't have belief. Even Muslim, they make them to not understanding spirituality. They understand only material. This is, this it must be like this but this is normal calculator for dunyā. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He has endless thing. You cannot imagine what He has. So, it is important to be believer. And when you are believer, you are rest and happy. Of course for...
Also Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, one bedouin coming for him and asking, "If we are ill, we must take medicine?" Because this he, they know Arabic well and when they hear in Qur’ān like this maybe he said, "We mustn't take. Because everything from Allāh, we wait to Allāh make us [well]." But Prophet said, "Of course, you must do this." Because life, human being life, it is everything it must be inside: growing and looking after themself, to teaching, doctor or teacher or master – it must be. So Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam say, "Yes, you must treat yourself." And the... but what you, when do this don't say, "This medicine make me healthy." This medicine, by will of Allāh. "Allāh give shifā’ for this medicine and we are thanking Allāh for this." This is what we must do. We must thank Allāh for good doctor, He also give shifā’ by his hand. Because many doctors, they can do anything but when Allāh not, He don't want shifā’ for, cannot even the most richest one, they will not find cure. So for this also we must look for treatment but it is also not forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Who put secret in this treatment. Sometimes must be good, sometimes not good. So, we must also looking after treatment, Insha Allah. Allāh keep us safe and strong īmān – this is the most important thing. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
97.SERVANT FOR ALLĀH OR SLAVE FOR EGO Saturday, 26 June 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. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, "Alladhīna ātaynāhumu l-kitāba ya‘rifūnahū ka-mā ya‘rifūna abnā’ahum" (6:20).
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying People of the Book who are Christians and Jews know the orders of Allāh and the way of Allāh. How do they know? They know very well. As well as they know their children, they know that true religion is the religion of Islām, of our Holy Prophet. And all prophets belong to Islām. The religion of Islām is the only religion.
They say "interfaith dialogue". There is nothing interfaith. Religion is one, Islām.
The religions of Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām and Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām belong to Islām. But in terms of sharī‘ah, Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām, Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, and Nūḥ ‘alayhi s-salām have different sharī‘ah. Sometimes they change. Sometimes some things are more in one than in another. That is not important. They are all Islām as a religion. And People of the Book know this. They know this but of course, they want to act in a way that they like.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created people in order for them to carry the duty of servanthood. Everyone is the servant of Allāh – ‘Abdu Llāh. Ladies are Amatu Llāh. This means servant of Allāh too. The purpose of the
creation of mankind is to be servants for Allāh. As people are servants, they can deny it as much as they want, they cannot escape from servanthood.People must be servants for Allāh. When they are not servants of Allāh they become servants of something else.
We see there are nations who are servants of mice. There are nations who are servants of monkeys, idols, rocks, wood; they have to be servants for something. And now it is comfortable for people to be servants of their egos. Shayṭān is cheating them by saying, "Don't be a servant of Allāh. Servanthood to Allāh is difficult. You cannot do whatever your ego wants when you are a servant of Allāh جل جالله. Come and be my servant. Everything is allowed. Do whatever you like. Do whatever you like as you like. You are my servant. I won't cause you hardship. You will be happy with servanthood to me. Leave servanthood to Allāh." Shayṭān and ego saying this. Most people do not want it now. They are cheated by him (shayṭān).
Servanthood to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is of the highest level. And they go down to the lowest level to be servants of the lowest people. They say, "I am an atheist. I am not anyone's servant." You are the real servant of shayṭān. Because there is no escape from servanthood. Therefore, either do your servanthood in the lowest level, or do it in the highest level. Whoever is the servant for Allāh will always be elevated. Whoever is the servant for shayṭān and ego will always be low. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla say in āyah: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alladhīna ātaynāhumu l- kitāba ya‘rifūnahū ka-mā ya‘rifūna abnā’ahum, alladhīna khasirū anfusahum fa-hum lā yu’minūn" (6:20).
Allāh say this, who believe in heavenly religion, they have heavenly Book, they know this what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, same. Have heavenly Book, Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, and he is the last messenger for Allāh, for human being. So it is – they know very well he is Prophet and he is same like ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām, like Mūsá ‘alayhi s- salām, like Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. All prophets they are all of them
their religion – Islām. From Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until Prophet here. Islām – one religion, Allāh's religion, Islām. No another religion. They said something between religions, "interfaith", to come religions together and to discuss. This is nonsense because religion only one. "Inna d-dīna ‘inda Llāhi l-Islām" (3:19).
But other, they are only changing sharī‘ah – like Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām law. His law different. Nūḥ ‘alayhi s-salām different. Shu‘ayb ‘alayhi s- salām... Slowly slowly different coming until they our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and it was complete. But they are not out of Islām – all Islām.
"Wa-bi-dhālika umirtu wa-ana awwalu l-muslimīn" (6:163). Prophets, many āyah from prophets they, in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, they said about themself, "We are Islām, Muslimīn. We are surrender for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla" – meaning.
So it is they know very well this is right way for human. But why they are not accepting and following? Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create human being for one purpose – to be servant for Him جل جالله. All human being servant. For this we say for man: ‘Abdu Llāh, all men ‘Abdu Llāh, woman Amatu Llāh meaning also she is servant for Allah and man servant for Allāh Abdu Llāh.This is what Allāh‘, create. Nobody can run out from to be servanthood.
But there is thing people they are saying why they not accepting this servanthood because they said, "Don't be servant for Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. You be slave for me." Your ego, who is not servant for Allāh, he is a slave for another thing, for idols, for wood, for stone, for man, for creature. For even they are servant – slave not servant – slave for rat. They are worshipping rat there is people. There are worshipping monkeys.
When you are not happy with to be servant for Allāh, you are slave for your ego. Ego said, "My option it is good for you. You can do everything you like, everything you can do. I give you permission. You
are free. When you are slave for me, you can do everything, every bad thing. Every bad thing you do, I will be more happy with you." For this, people they are not looking to be servant for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They running after their ego, the shayṭān and they thought it is good. And every time they doing bad, worse, there is coming worse than this. Also they are happy to run after this.
For this we see they change this religion from Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām, ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām, by them what their ego they like. They put nothing left from law of Sayyidunā ‘Īsá or Sayyidunā Mūsá. All of them finish. Even Sayyidunā ‘Īsá he wasn't eating pork or thing. These people they make it after him to make it ḥalāl for them to eat. Everything they change and they are happy with this. For this not accepting to be servant for Allāh.
Servant for Allāh it is high, make you honourable, high situation and better man. But to be slave for yourself, you be lowest than everything. You going lower and lower and lower. This is to be slave for ego, to your self. But people they are very happy with this. But to be happy it is not meaning it is right. It is just they are looking happy but normally it is not happy because happiness cannot be with this bad thing. But they try to be happy. They use everything trying not to be happy but it normal... Allāh not give happiness who coming against Him.
Be with Allāh you be honourable. Don't look for majority, they are running after their desire, their ego. Be servant for Allāh. Allāh be happy with you. You will be winner at the end. Allāh keep us away from our ego and to be servant for Allāh, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
98.SHYNESS IS GOOD MANNERS Sunday, 27 June 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 is saying, "Idhā lam tastaḥi fāṣna‘ mā shi’t."
If you are not shy, do whatever you like. To be shy is from Islām, it is from īmān. Because if a person is not shy, he can do all kinds of shameful things. He is not ashamed, so he doesn't care. And a person who is aware of himself fears Allāh and feels shy from His servants when he wants to do something. He has fear of Allāh and shyness. As a part of good manners, shyness is a good thing, a beautiful attribute. It is what suits people, what suits Muslims.
And shayṭān is teaching us shamelessness. Those who are together with shayṭān are teaching it. People who are against Muslims, Islām, and Allāh are doing this. They want to make others do the same. It is not enough just for them. They want others to be like them. They want everyone to burn in hellfire. If you did something from being unable to control your ego, do not show it openly. Do not embarrass yourself. People aren't like this now. On the contrary, they do something on purpose so that it makes them famous and so that people talk about them. They don't care if people talk about them badly or well. It is important that they satisfy their egos and become a bad example for people. Whoever does something bad and teaches others without feeling embarrassed, or if others look at him and learn from him, the sins they commit are on him and on them. If there is one person [who follows him], the sins of one person, if there are ten people [who
follow], the equal sins of all of them are put on him. That is why shyness is not a bad thing.
As it is the end of times now, they are showing shyness as being bad. They say someone is shy and can't do something. "He blushes in front of people and almost faints. He cannot talk, What a pity." In fact, he is from the beloved servants of Allāh. Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān raḍiya Llāhu ‘anhu, Dhu n-Nūrayn, was married to two daughters of our Holy Prophet. He was very shy. He was too shy. Our Holy Prophet said that the angels felt shy because of his shyness. Even angels felt shy. If it was a bad thing, our Holy Prophet would not praise him.
May Allāh let people see the truth. May they know what is good and what is bad. Now at the end of times they see the good as bad and the bad as good. May Allāh let us see the truth. I can't say anything else.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Idhā lam tastaḥi fāṣna‘ mā shi’t." If you are not shy, you can do everything. To be shy meaning good thing, not bad thing. If you shy, you cannot do bad thing because people they will be not happy with you and you, shame for you to do this thing. Shy one, he's very careful with people, with everything, if it is good or not. But bad one, nothing can prevent him to do everything.
To be shy from īmān. "Al-ḥayā’u mina l-īmān." Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. Because when somebody doing thing, they said in Turkish: "They're not fear from Allāh not ashamed from people." Yes, this one doing anything. Nothing to prevent him. But nowadays people they like to do everything and to be not shy, not ashamed to do bad thing.
Even they encourage people to do same thing what they are doing. They say, "You are... This is your nature. Allāh created me like this. No, this is not important. Important what you feel. You do as you like, don't ashamed, don't be shy. Do everything. What your ego like, you can do." But this is against Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. For this some, to prevent this, to be good behaviour, you have [to be] shy to do
bad thing.
But who are not ashamed to do bad thing, this is their, they don't have īmān, they don't have anything from good manner. Allāh give good manner for human being, but human being they are lose. They lose this good manner running after their ego. And ego, if you run after ego never take you, show you good way. You must catch your ego and bring to good thing. If you're saying, "Okay, I will follow until my ego get full from everything and after, we can do good thing. Never! This never happen! So you must be knowing, this shy it is good manner.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam like, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla like. But in this days if we're shy, they said, they said, "A problem, maybe psychologic problem. He must be go to look for doctor. This man very shy. Give him treatment, give him medicine to be normal." Not shy, not ashamed from anything – this is mentality of this days. But normally, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his khalīfah, third khalīfah, Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān, he is son-in- law of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Two daughter of Prophet was married with him. He was very, very shy. Even Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, the angels getting shy from his shyness, from Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān. He was happy with this, not angry – "Go and you look for doctor, you are very shy." No. It is acceptable and nice thing to be with people.
Allāh show us the good thing, Insha Allah, to follow because these days, many thing, good thing people thought, they are thinking it is bad and bad thing it is thinking it is good. So Allāh show us the right one, Insha Allah, and follow it.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
99.A GOOD SIGN FOR ALL PEOPLE Tuesday, 29 June 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. Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n is the best, the most perfect and the greatest and highest in all aspects of all books. Certain āyāt attract people. Mawlānā also, may his maqām increase, used to always say one āyah. "Wa-bi’rin mu‘aṭṭalatin wa-qaṣrin mashīd" (22:45). "These ruined wells and abandoned palaces" are illustrating the conditon of this world. Mawlānā used to always say this and make a sign of astonishment. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave it as a sign to people. Some people know it, and some just read it without understanding. It would attract Mawlānā's attention. He used to give importance to this āyah.
Why are we saying this? Yesterday we were meant to go to Varosha. There is a mosque there. The Waqf organisation restored it. They invited us and we went there with Ibrahim Bey. When I went there fifty years ago, around 1973, I was 13 or 15 years old. We would go to Famagusta and walk by the seaside. It was the most expensive place in the world. I never went inside the town. We would just cycle around. We went inside when we went this time, however. People left and abandoned it nearly fifty years ago and it is standing there in ruins. Its scenery is inviting a person to contemplate. When people were leaving fifty years ago, they had hopes to return. Those people must have died by now. And Allāh knows if the next generation of them are alive. And their children don't have any hope at all. But Allāh knows.
So many people valued dunyā so much and the richest people in the world, the most famous ones came there to reside. But Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla finished everything and turned it into ruins. This is the condition of this world. Mankind should not hope for it. He should leave hope for Ākhirah. No hope for dunyā.
Shukr to Allāh, among so many ruins, there is a mosque built more than two hundred years ago by Bilal Agha Efendi. He built a mosque and shops around it. These shops were the endowment of the mosque so that they would cover its expenses and the salary of imām. Shukr to Allāh, among all the ruins, they were renovated first and now are thriving. But in some other places, it is written to not come close as the building may collapse. Another side cannot be entered at all. And yet this mosque is standing in its original structure as it was originally built with just a little renovation.
It is something that we should learn from.Because the rest is still in ruins. There is nothing. Whatever is for Allāh, Allāh will protect it. Therefore, no need to fear anything. Don't fear what will go and what will remain. Everything belongs to Allāh He will protect. This is a big thing. The mosque is open and everyone can go for a visit. It is a big example to take lesson.
People of the present time are crazy about brands. When there were no brands, people would not care about them. But you see when you pass by, the most famous brands, agencies, dealers of cars and the most luxurious cars. There are written signs of all of them. Brands of 40-50 years ago are written as luxurious. But there is no benefit. People of the present time care about useless things and leave the real things.
May Allāh show people reality. May they run after truth, Insha Allah.
Qur’ān is Great Book because it is from Allāh directly. Heavenly. Not from... like in dunyā, this world, can be nice book but maybe some place not so well. But Qur’ān it is perfect from everything. Many thing very nice, very blessed, every good thing in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. And
there is some verses, people attract[ed to] from this verse or that. Mawlānā Shaykh was every time saying and he is little bit attention or something like this. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, " ‘Urūshihā wa- bi’rin mu‘aṭṭalatin wa-qaṣrin mashīd" (22:45). Meaning broken well, well taking water from... and the palace, high palace but this is also broken. This is description in Qur’ān, describing cities of old time. When something happened and people die, nothing there. You see houses, wells, palace, but it is broken and nobody there – nobody living there. This for taking lesson, for people to not saying it is forever. Nothing forever in this world.
Why I am saying this? Because yesterday I was in Famagusta. And there is one place, one area it is closed since fifty year nearly. After war they close. Everybody run away. And to make discussion, they leave it like this. Only army there controlling but not letting anybody to live inside or they are not living, just guarding – nothing at all. And it was so luxury place. This is one of most luxury place in the world. It was attracting rich people, attracting movie stars and royal family. And the top, what they said like high society. All they was coming this area and it was very, very beautiful for dunyā. But suddenly everybody left and it become like this. Houses, shops, everything nobody, only tree coming through walls, streets. Nothing at all. So it is what they describe in Qur’ān nearly like this.
This is what people who left this in one night they, everything finish. They was hoping they will be more richer and more stronger and more... And maybe they thought they will, because every time they saying, "We are negotiation to come back here." Every time saying this, so maybe this people they was hoping to come and they are happy. But what happen? Since fifty year, maybe three generation, they finish, their age not enough to reach to this now. Many of them they died and still this same, nothing change. All finish and cannot be solved yet. So this is what to not be hope for dunyā. Who hope for dunyā, it will be no benefit for him. For Allāh it will be good.
What happen, alhamdulilah, yesterday there was this whole area, it is belong to charity of awqāf Muslim. Awqāf there is one mosque – masjid in this area. Dr. Ibrahim from charity council, he invite us to opening. They restoring, fixing. They fix and we go there. We made opening, we pray ẓuhr there. And it was all around destroyed, all around dirty, nothing, nobody living there. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh, this masjid opening. Very clean, very nice. And this mosque built by Bilal Agha – rich one, he built mosque and built around shops to pay for Imām, for expenses of mosque, anything in need for mosque. They was thinking [for] this. Alhamdulilah still since two hundred year, all this war and happen, nothing happened for mosque. With small cleaning and restorations, we open.
And this is good example for dunyā. Allāh, His house whole time it is good, beautiful, better than others. This is what we must think and, In sha Allah, this it will be benefit for Ummah and for whole human being. Because if human being, they are respect the, this charity and respecting what people they put to for help, for serving humanity, Allāh help them. Even they are Muslim, non-Muslim or other, everything who respect sha‘ā’ir Llāh, sha‘ā’ir meaning what Allāh give respect for those and this people respecting it, Allāh will make their end good, In sha Allah.
In sha Allah this beginning of good sign for whole people, In sha Allah. Allāh make it begining for barakah and for peace for this Island and other place, In sha Allah all the world.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
100.ALLĀH SHOWS THE WAY TO HAPPINESS Friday, 2 July 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that He opens the heart of a person to whom He wants to give guidance. We read āyatu l-karīmah. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-man yuridi Llāhu an yahdiyahū yashraḥ ṣadrahū li-l-islām" (6:125). If Allāh wishes His servant to reach guidance, He opens His servant's heart and makes him love Islām, gives him love for Islām. It is a beautiful wish of Allāh. This is a beautiful thing. It is the best thing for mankind. When there is no guidance, people don't know what to do. They are in distress. If Allāh wants, He brings them to īmān and love of Islām. When they come to Islām, there are all kinds of beauty in it. A person who tastes it... You cannot find the taste of Islām and īmān anywhere else. Whoever reaches them, reaches happiness.
Because there is everything in dunyā. There are many things people may love. There is everything. But the ego doesn't find anything to be enough. Therefore, there is no contentment, there is no happiness. When people have something little, they say, "I want to have a larger place. I want to have a bigger job, I want to have a bigger car." Everything bigger and larger. People are never satisfied.
There are very rich people but no one can be like Qārūn. Even if they come very close, no one can be [rich] like Qārūn. Nevertheless, they are running after dunyā with strong desire. They haven't found happiness. Why haven't they? Because they are running after their egos. They think
their egos will take them to happiness. Ego will never become the means to something good. Unless the ego is educated and put on the way of Allāh, don't think that it will bring you any benefit. Therefore, the biggest gift of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people is His opening of our hearts to Islām and īmān. Otherwise, there is no benefit.
A person in distress, with a closed heart, can never reach true happiness, neither in dunyā nor in Ākhirah. People at the present time, even Muslims, say they are not happy. They are not happy because they are looking for happiness the same way as others – in dunyā. Whereas happiness in dunyā... You are Muslim. You read and hear the Word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla every day. You have to understand that whoever follows those other people [non-believers] is wasting himself uselessly, for nothing. Whereas Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown us the beautiful way. And people are cheated by obeying their egos. Instead of improving themselves, they degrade themselves.
May Allāh protect us from the evil of our egos.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says [in Qur’ān, we read] in khuṭbah. Bismi Llāhi r- Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Fa-man yuridi Llāhu an yahdiyahū yashraḥ ṣadrahū li-l-islām" (6:125). Which, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He want for you good, to be good, He open your heart – Islām for to find happiness, to find every good thing. This is our Creator, He show us the way of happiness.
Because you are creature. Somebody create you. Only Creator He is Allāh Azza wa-Jalla. So no anyone creator to show you what to do. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He‘ show us, create us and show us what to do.
But people they are not looking for this, looking for their pleasure. They thought they will be find happiness, pleasure without through going this way, way of Allāh. But it is wrong. In, when you real have īmān – belief, good belief, you be happy. And this is also will of Allāh You must be happy Allāh create us. After, He make us to be Muslim. We are thanking for Him. Because many people, they don't accept. They are saying, "We are living in world and happiness [is] in good car, good
house, or big house, big car, big business."
But people they are not satisfied. They're, you have one small house, you need, you said you [need] more bigger, bigger and bigger. Your ego not satisfied at all with the pleasure of dunyā, even you said. You see, we whole human being seeing – thought rich people they are happy people and they had enough, not, they don't want more. It is exactly opposite. Small people, they want small thing. But big one, they are big want big, bigger and bigger and they are not ashamed to do anything to get this. Everything they can do. There are no anything make them to prevent them because they have money, they have power. They want more and more and more. And you think every time they getting more, they becoming – they find happiness. No. Every time they find more unhappiness because they are looking only for material. Material not giving happiness for you, for anybody of human.
Maybe with īmān, you can find this happiness. You are rich and you are giving what Allāh order to give. Every time you give, you feel more happy. But if you are following your ego and giving for bad thing, every time you fall [into] more misery, more sadness. This is very nice āyah from Qur’ān, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Creator, He show us way of happiness. People, they are going wrong direction. Happiness this side, people they are going exactly opposite and after they say, "We couldn't find happiness." And they said, Muslim also, they don't have happiness. Of course. Because they are also following this people from media, from TV, from movie, from... Everywhere now they are controlling. So all human being, they thought this is right but they don't know they are going exactly opposite. Every time going more away, faraway from happiness. They going to sadness, to go to misery, to go to not good thing.
This is Muslim or not Muslim, who are not following and not believe what Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla saying, they are becoming, not become happy. The happy must be with Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla . When He is with us, everything we must be happy because He choose , He give hidāyah for people – for us. Some of them from birth, some of them after, they
become for hidāyah. This is our biggest happiness for us, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh make us to know value of this. No value for anything else. Allāh, H

ief by belief in Allāh. They should believe in this.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said so in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, His Eternal Word, to the Holy Prophet and to us. It is the beautiful Word of Allāh. If everyone believes and accepts it, all kinds of goodness will happen for them. And if they complain about things that happened to them, they will be devastated trying to figure out what is the reason, if they fell down or ate something wrong, or they drank something. It came from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He wanted this. Just like He wanted these hardships, only Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla can remove them and give you relief. And when He wishes people good, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives goodness. No one can prevent His wish. No one can prevent Him. Even
if the whole world is against, it cannot prevent the will of Allāh. And when Allāh gives from His favours, even people, who think they are something important, resist with all their weapons and bombs, those favours will reach people.
This is our condition now. The poor condition of this world is because of faithlessness. This illness has come. While people are guessing if it started in China or America, in one place or another, from such and such animal, they are forgetting the main source. And because they forget, they cannot reach a conclusion. As a result, it happened by the will of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. It may have occurred in a factory or in a laboratory, in a farm or in an animal market. If it wasn’t the will of Allah, it wouldn't have occurred. And as it is by the will of Allāh, If it wasn't the will of Allāh Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will remove it as well. This is the way it is. And there is a ḥadīth of our Holy Prophet a bedouin asked him, when he heard this āyah, "Should we get treatment when we get sick?" "Of course be treated," said our Holy Prophet. But know that cure comes with the belief in Allāh The cure is from Allāh. You must accept this in order to be cured. If you say that a doctor cures you, some people believe in Allāh but still they think cure is coming from the doctor, then it has no benefit for them. Eventually, mankind will pass away anyway. But when they say that by the favour of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla, this medicine was effective and the cure came with this doctor by the order of Allāh, then they will receive its reward. They will be rewarded for sickness and make shukr to Allāh for recovery. They will have not forgotten Allāh.
People of the end of times swear at diseases and say various things. They blame this and that. No need to blame anyone. Everything is possible in this world. Nothing is impossible in this world. Prepare yourself accordingly. As we always say, it is dunyā here, not a Paradise. When you go to Paradise, everything will be nice. And anything can happen any moment here – anything – good and bad. But that is not important. It is important to guard our faith. You are being tested. And a test can be very big, may Allāh protect us. You can both fail the test and commit a sin. Therefore, we should know that everything is by the
kindness and favour of Allāh.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He said, "Everything by His will." It's the āyah we read. "Wa-in yamsaska Llāhu bi-ḍurrin fa-lā kāshifa lahu illā Hū" (6:17). This what Allāh wants. If He wants something difficult for you, it must be. Because it is His will. He can... Nobody can stop in front of His will. And it is, can be this from Allāh but you must be believe for this. What happen, it's coming from Allāh. If it is bad – also from Allāh. But who he has belief, he must believe also Allāh, He will take this from on him. If any illness or other thing happen, Allāh, when He want – you pray for, ask Him for to take this bad thing on, from you – He can do. Nobody else can do. And when He want something for people, for good thing for human or for men or for women, nobody can prevent this from to be happen. Even whole countries coming against this, nothing can be happened against this. Because Allāh will stronger from anything.
And it is good tiding for us, for people who are nowadays, they are hopeless, they are anxious, they have every "Why this happen?" Because they don't have belief. If they believe for this, they will be rest and happy because they know this is the will of Allāh and it will be happen. If you are happy or not happy, it happen. But if you are happy and believe what happen, Allāh will reward you and maybe take this from you, make you safe. But if not, what happen now, if you see whole world like they said, world war. No, no any country they safe from this.
Everybody, they are anxious and most of people, they have problem, psychology problem from this. Little or more, small or big, they have this. Why, for what this? Because they are only believe everything happen, happen by themself, by other people, by maybe other country.
Now they are living in this situation of illness. They are accusing from maybe China, they accusing America, they accusing Europe, they accusing anything else. But all this what happen by will of Allāh. it's coming from laboratory or factory or coming from farm or coming from grocery or other thing – all this, it is by will of Allāh. Nothing can be
without of His will. Everything by His will and you must believe for this.
There is, they trying hard to take this belief from people and they are nearly succeed. Most of people they don't have belief. Even Muslim, they make them to not understanding spirituality. They understand only material. This is, this it must be like this but this is normal calculator for dunyā. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He has endless thing. You cannot imagine what He has. So, it is important to be believer. And when you are believer, you are rest and happy. Of course for...
Also Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, one bedouin coming for him and asking, "If we are ill, we must take medicine?" Because this he, they know Arabic well and when they hear in Qur’ān like this maybe he said, "We mustn't take. Because everything from Allāh, we wait to Allāh make us [well]." But Prophet said, "Of course, you must do this." Because life, human being life, it is everything it must be inside: growing and looking after themself, to teaching, doctor or teacher or master – it must be. So Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam say, "Yes, you must treat yourself." And the... but what you, when do this don't say, "This medicine make me healthy." This medicine, by will of Allāh. "Allāh give shifā’ for this medicine and we are thanking Allāh for this." This is what we must do. We must thank Allāh for good doctor, He also give shifā’ by his hand. Because many doctors, they can do anything but when Allāh not, He don't want shifā’ for, cannot even the most richest one, they will not find cure. So for this also we must look for treatment but it is also not forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Who put secret in this treatment. Sometimes must be good, sometimes not good. So, we must also looking after treatment, Insha Allah. Allāh keep us safe and strong īmān – this is the most important thing. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
97.SERVANT FOR ALLĀH OR SLAVE FOR EGO Saturday, 26 June 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. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, "Alladhīna ātaynāhumu l-kitāba ya‘rifūnahū ka-mā ya‘rifūna abnā’ahum" (6:20).
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying People of the Book who are Christians and Jews know the orders of Allāh and the way of Allāh. How do they know? They know very well. As well as they know their children, they know that true religion is the religion of Islām, of our Holy Prophet. And all prophets belong to Islām. The religion of Islām is the only religion.
They say "interfaith dialogue". There is nothing interfaith. Religion is one, Islām.
The religions of Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām and Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām belong to Islām. But in terms of sharī‘ah, Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām, Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām, and Nūḥ ‘alayhi s-salām have different sharī‘ah. Sometimes they change. Sometimes some things are more in one than in another. That is not important. They are all Islām as a religion. And People of the Book know this. They know this but of course, they want to act in a way that they like.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created people in order for them to carry the duty of servanthood. Everyone is the servant of Allāh – ‘Abdu Llāh. Ladies are Amatu Llāh. This means servant of Allāh too. The purpose of the
creation of mankind is to be servants for Allāh. As people are servants, they can deny it as much as they want, they cannot escape from servanthood.People must be servants for Allāh. When they are not servants of Allāh they become servants of something else.
We see there are nations who are servants of mice. There are nations who are servants of monkeys, idols, rocks, wood; they have to be servants for something. And now it is comfortable for people to be servants of their egos. Shayṭān is cheating them by saying, "Don't be a servant of Allāh. Servanthood to Allāh is difficult. You cannot do whatever your ego wants when you are a servant of Allāh جل جالله. Come and be my servant. Everything is allowed. Do whatever you like. Do whatever you like as you like. You are my servant. I won't cause you hardship. You will be happy with servanthood to me. Leave servanthood to Allāh." Shayṭān and ego saying this. Most people do not want it now. They are cheated by him (shayṭān).
Servanthood to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is of the highest level. And they go down to the lowest level to be servants of the lowest people. They say, "I am an atheist. I am not anyone's servant." You are the real servant of shayṭān. Because there is no escape from servanthood. Therefore, either do your servanthood in the lowest level, or do it in the highest level. Whoever is the servant for Allāh will always be elevated. Whoever is the servant for shayṭān and ego will always be low. May Allāh protect us.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla say in āyah: Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Alladhīna ātaynāhumu l- kitāba ya‘rifūnahū ka-mā ya‘rifūna abnā’ahum, alladhīna khasirū anfusahum fa-hum lā yu’minūn" (6:20).
Allāh say this, who believe in heavenly religion, they have heavenly Book, they know this what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, same. Have heavenly Book, Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, and he is the last messenger for Allāh, for human being. So it is – they know very well he is Prophet and he is same like ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām, like Mūsá ‘alayhi s- salām, like Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. All prophets they are all of them
their religion – Islām. From Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until Prophet here. Islām – one religion, Allāh's religion, Islām. No another religion. They said something between religions, "interfaith", to come religions together and to discuss. This is nonsense because religion only one. "Inna d-dīna ‘inda Llāhi l-Islām" (3:19).
But other, they are only changing sharī‘ah – like Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām law. His law different. Nūḥ ‘alayhi s-salām different. Shu‘ayb ‘alayhi s- salām... Slowly slowly different coming until they our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and it was complete. But they are not out of Islām – all Islām.
"Wa-bi-dhālika umirtu wa-ana awwalu l-muslimīn" (6:163). Prophets, many āyah from prophets they, in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, they said about themself, "We are Islām, Muslimīn. We are surrender for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla" – meaning.
So it is they know very well this is right way for human. But why they are not accepting and following? Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create human being for one purpose – to be servant for Him جل جالله. All human being servant. For this we say for man: ‘Abdu Llāh, all men ‘Abdu Llāh, woman Amatu Llāh meaning also she is servant for Allah and man servant for Allāh Abdu Llāh.This is what Allāh‘, create. Nobody can run out from to be servanthood.
But there is thing people they are saying why they not accepting this servanthood because they said, "Don't be servant for Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. You be slave for me." Your ego, who is not servant for Allāh, he is a slave for another thing, for idols, for wood, for stone, for man, for creature. For even they are servant – slave not servant – slave for rat. They are worshipping rat there is people. There are worshipping monkeys.
When you are not happy with to be servant for Allāh, you are slave for your ego. Ego said, "My option it is good for you. You can do everything you like, everything you can do. I give you permission. You
are free. When you are slave for me, you can do everything, every bad thing. Every bad thing you do, I will be more happy with you." For this, people they are not looking to be servant for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They running after their ego, the shayṭān and they thought it is good. And every time they doing bad, worse, there is coming worse than this. Also they are happy to run after this.
For this we see they change this religion from Mūsá ‘alayhi s-salām, ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s-salām, by them what their ego they like. They put nothing left from law of Sayyidunā ‘Īsá or Sayyidunā Mūsá. All of them finish. Even Sayyidunā ‘Īsá he wasn't eating pork or thing. These people they make it after him to make it ḥalāl for them to eat. Everything they change and they are happy with this. For this not accepting to be servant for Allāh.
Servant for Allāh it is high, make you honourable, high situation and better man. But to be slave for yourself, you be lowest than everything. You going lower and lower and lower. This is to be slave for ego, to your self. But people they are very happy with this. But to be happy it is not meaning it is right. It is just they are looking happy but normally it is not happy because happiness cannot be with this bad thing. But they try to be happy. They use everything trying not to be happy but it normal... Allāh not give happiness who coming against Him.
Be with Allāh you be honourable. Don't look for majority, they are running after their desire, their ego. Be servant for Allāh. Allāh be happy with you. You will be winner at the end. Allāh keep us away from our ego and to be servant for Allāh, Insha Allah.

98.SHYNESS IS GOOD MANNERS Sunday, 27 June 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 is saying, "Idhā lam tastaḥi fāṣna‘ mā shi’t."
If you are not shy, do whatever you like. To be shy is from Islām, it is from īmān. Because if a person is not shy, he can do all kinds of shameful things. He is not ashamed, so he doesn't care. And a person who is aware of himself fears Allāh and feels shy from His servants when he wants to do something. He has fear of Allāh and shyness. As a part of good manners, shyness is a good thing, a beautiful attribute. It is what suits people, what suits Muslims.
And shayṭān is teaching us shamelessness. Those who are together with shayṭān are teaching it. People who are against Muslims, Islām, and Allāh are doing this. They want to make others do the same. It is not enough just for them. They want others to be like them. They want everyone to burn in hellfire. If you did something from being unable to control your ego, do not show it openly. Do not embarrass yourself. People aren't like this now. On the contrary, they do something on purpose so that it makes them famous and so that people talk about them. They don't care if people talk about them badly or well. It is important that they satisfy their egos and become a bad example for people. Whoever does something bad and teaches others without feeling embarrassed, or if others look at him and learn from him, the sins they commit are on him and on them. If there is one person [who follows him], the sins of one person, if there are ten people [who
follow], the equal sins of all of them are put on him. That is why shyness is not a bad thing.
As it is the end of times now, they are showing shyness as being bad. They say someone is shy and can't do something. "He blushes in front of people and almost faints. He cannot talk, What a pity." In fact, he is from the beloved servants of Allāh. Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān raḍiya Llāhu ‘anhu, Dhu n-Nūrayn, was married to two daughters of our Holy Prophet. He was very shy. He was too shy. Our Holy Prophet said that the angels felt shy because of his shyness. Even angels felt shy. If it was a bad thing, our Holy Prophet would not praise him.
May Allāh let people see the truth. May they know what is good and what is bad. Now at the end of times they see the good as bad and the bad as good. May Allāh let us see the truth. I can't say anything else.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Idhā lam tastaḥi fāṣna‘ mā shi’t." If you are not shy, you can do everything. To be shy meaning good thing, not bad thing. If you shy, you cannot do bad thing because people they will be not happy with you and you, shame for you to do this thing. Shy one, he's very careful with people, with everything, if it is good or not. But bad one, nothing can prevent him to do everything.
To be shy from īmān. "Al-ḥayā’u mina l-īmān." Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. Because when somebody doing thing, they said in Turkish: "They're not fear from Allāh not ashamed from people." Yes, this one doing anything. Nothing to prevent him. But nowadays people they like to do everything and to be not shy, not ashamed to do bad thing.
Even they encourage people to do same thing what they are doing. They say, "You are... This is your nature. Allāh created me like this. No, this is not important. Important what you feel. You do as you like, don't ashamed, don't be shy. Do everything. What your ego like, you can do." But this is against Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying. For this some, to prevent this, to be good behaviour, you have [to be] shy to do
bad thing.
But who are not ashamed to do bad thing, this is their, they don't have īmān, they don't have anything from good manner. Allāh give good manner for human being, but human being they are lose. They lose this good manner running after their ego. And ego, if you run after ego never take you, show you good way. You must catch your ego and bring to good thing. If you're saying, "Okay, I will follow until my ego get full from everything and after, we can do good thing. Never! This never happen! So you must be knowing, this shy it is good manner.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam like, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla like. But in this days if we're shy, they said, they said, "A problem, maybe psychologic problem. He must be go to look for doctor. This man very shy. Give him treatment, give him medicine to be normal." Not shy, not ashamed from anything – this is mentality of this days. But normally, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his khalīfah, third khalīfah, Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān, he is son-in- law of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Two daughter of Prophet was married with him. He was very, very shy. Even Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, the angels getting shy from his shyness, from Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān. He was happy with this, not angry – "Go and you look for doctor, you are very shy." No. It is acceptable and nice thing to be with people.
Allāh show us the good thing, Insha Allah, to follow because these days, many thing, good thing people thought, they are thinking it is bad and bad thing it is thinking it is good. So Allāh show us the right one, Insha Allah, and follow it.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
99.A GOOD SIGN FOR ALL PEOPLE Tuesday, 29 June 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. Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n is the best, the most perfect and the greatest and highest in all aspects of all books. Certain āyāt attract people. Mawlānā also, may his maqām increase, used to always say one āyah. "Wa-bi’rin mu‘aṭṭalatin wa-qaṣrin mashīd" (22:45). "These ruined wells and abandoned palaces" are illustrating the conditon of this world. Mawlānā used to always say this and make a sign of astonishment. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave it as a sign to people. Some people know it, and some just read it without understanding. It would attract Mawlānā's attention. He used to give importance to this āyah.
Why are we saying this? Yesterday we were meant to go to Varosha. There is a mosque there. The Waqf organisation restored it. They invited us and we went there with Ibrahim Bey. When I went there fifty years ago, around 1973, I was 13 or 15 years old. We would go to Famagusta and walk by the seaside. It was the most expensive place in the world. I never went inside the town. We would just cycle around. We went inside when we went this time, however. People left and abandoned it nearly fifty years ago and it is standing there in ruins. Its scenery is inviting a person to contemplate. When people were leaving fifty years ago, they had hopes to return. Those people must have died by now. And Allāh knows if the next generation of them are alive. And their children don't have any hope at all. But Allāh knows.
So many people valued dunyā so much and the richest people in the world, the most famous ones came there to reside. But Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla finished everything and turned it into ruins. This is the condition of this world. Mankind should not hope for it. He should leave hope for Ākhirah. No hope for dunyā.
Shukr to Allāh, among so many ruins, there is a mosque built more than two hundred years ago by Bilal Agha Efendi. He built a mosque and shops around it. These shops were the endowment of the mosque so that they would cover its expenses and the salary of imām. Shukr to Allāh, among all the ruins, they were renovated first and now are thriving. But in some other places, it is written to not come close as the building may collapse. Another side cannot be entered at all. And yet this mosque is standing in its original structure as it was originally built with just a little renovation.
It is something that we should learn from.Because the rest is still in ruins. There is nothing. Whatever is for Allāh, Allāh will protect it. Therefore, no need to fear anything. Don't fear what will go and what will remain. Everything belongs to Allāh He will protect. This is a big thing. The mosque is open and everyone can go for a visit. It is a big example to take lesson.
People of the present time are crazy about brands. When there were no brands, people would not care about them. But you see when you pass by, the most famous brands, agencies, dealers of cars and the most luxurious cars. There are written signs of all of them. Brands of 40-50 years ago are written as luxurious. But there is no benefit. People of the present time care about useless things and leave the real things.
May Allāh show people reality. May they run after truth, Insha Allah.
Qur’ān is Great Book because it is from Allāh directly. Heavenly. Not from... like in dunyā, this world, can be nice book but maybe some place not so well. But Qur’ān it is perfect from everything. Many thing very nice, very blessed, every good thing in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. And
there is some verses, people attract[ed to] from this verse or that. Mawlānā Shaykh was every time saying and he is little bit attention or something like this. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, " ‘Urūshihā wa- bi’rin mu‘aṭṭalatin wa-qaṣrin mashīd" (22:45). Meaning broken well, well taking water from... and the palace, high palace but this is also broken. This is description in Qur’ān, describing cities of old time. When something happened and people die, nothing there. You see houses, wells, palace, but it is broken and nobody there – nobody living there. This for taking lesson, for people to not saying it is forever. Nothing forever in this world.
Why I am saying this? Because yesterday I was in Famagusta. And there is one place, one area it is closed since fifty year nearly. After war they close. Everybody run away. And to make discussion, they leave it like this. Only army there controlling but not letting anybody to live inside or they are not living, just guarding – nothing at all. And it was so luxury place. This is one of most luxury place in the world. It was attracting rich people, attracting movie stars and royal family. And the top, what they said like high society. All they was coming this area and it was very, very beautiful for dunyā. But suddenly everybody left and it become like this. Houses, shops, everything nobody, only tree coming through walls, streets. Nothing at all. So it is what they describe in Qur’ān nearly like this.
This is what people who left this in one night they, everything finish. They was hoping they will be more richer and more stronger and more... And maybe they thought they will, because every time they saying, "We are negotiation to come back here." Every time saying this, so maybe this people they was hoping to come and they are happy. But what happen? Since fifty year, maybe three generation, they finish, their age not enough to reach to this now. Many of them they died and still this same, nothing change. All finish and cannot be solved yet. So this is what to not be hope for dunyā. Who hope for dunyā, it will be no benefit for him. For Allāh it will be good.
What happen, alhamdulilah, yesterday there was this whole area, it is belong to charity of awqāf Muslim. Awqāf there is one mosque – masjid in this area. Dr. Ibrahim from charity council, he invite us to opening. They restoring, fixing. They fix and we go there. We made opening, we pray ẓuhr there. And it was all around destroyed, all around dirty, nothing, nobody living there. But al-ḥamdu liLlāh, this masjid opening. Very clean, very nice. And this mosque built by Bilal Agha – rich one, he built mosque and built around shops to pay for Imām, for expenses of mosque, anything in need for mosque. They was thinking [for] this. Alhamdulilah still since two hundred year, all this war and happen, nothing happened for mosque. With small cleaning and restorations, we open.
And this is good example for dunyā. Allāh, His house whole time it is good, beautiful, better than others. This is what we must think and, In sha Allah, this it will be benefit for Ummah and for whole human being. Because if human being, they are respect the, this charity and respecting what people they put to for help, for serving humanity, Allāh help them. Even they are Muslim, non-Muslim or other, everything who respect sha‘ā’ir Llāh, sha‘ā’ir meaning what Allāh give respect for those and this people respecting it, Allāh will make their end good, In sha Allah.
In sha Allah this beginning of good sign for whole people, In sha Allah. Allāh make it begining for barakah and for peace for this Island and other place, In sha Allah all the world.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
100.ALLĀH SHOWS THE WAY TO HAPPINESS Friday, 2 July 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.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that He opens the heart of a person to whom He wants to give guidance. We read āyatu l-karīmah. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Fa-man yuridi Llāhu an yahdiyahū yashraḥ ṣadrahū li-l-islām" (6:125). If Allāh wishes His servant to reach guidance, He opens His servant's heart and makes him love Islām, gives him love for Islām. It is a beautiful wish of Allāh. This is a beautiful thing. It is the best thing for mankind. When there is no guidance, people don't know what to do. They are in distress. If Allāh wants, He brings them to īmān and love of Islām. When they come to Islām, there are all kinds of beauty in it. A person who tastes it... You cannot find the taste of Islām and īmān anywhere else. Whoever reaches them, reaches happiness.
Because there is everything in dunyā. There are many things people may love. There is everything. But the ego doesn't find anything to be enough. Therefore, there is no contentment, there is no happiness. When people have something little, they say, "I want to have a larger place. I want to have a bigger job, I want to have a bigger car." Everything bigger and larger. People are never satisfied.
There are very rich people but no one can be like Qārūn. Even if they come very close, no one can be [rich] like Qārūn. Nevertheless, they are running after dunyā with strong desire. They haven't found happiness. Why haven't they? Because they are running after their egos. They think
their egos will take them to happiness. Ego will never become the means to something good. Unless the ego is educated and put on the way of Allāh, don't think that it will bring you any benefit. Therefore, the biggest gift of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people is His opening of our hearts to Islām and īmān. Otherwise, there is no benefit.
A person in distress, with a closed heart, can never reach true happiness, neither in dunyā nor in Ākhirah. People at the present time, even Muslims, say they are not happy. They are not happy because they are looking for happiness the same way as others – in dunyā. Whereas happiness in dunyā... You are Muslim. You read and hear the Word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla every day. You have to understand that whoever follows those other people [non-believers] is wasting himself uselessly, for nothing. Whereas Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown us the beautiful way. And people are cheated by obeying their egos. Instead of improving themselves, they degrade themselves.
May Allāh protect us from the evil of our egos.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says [in Qur’ān, we read] in khuṭbah. Bismi Llāhi r- Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Fa-man yuridi Llāhu an yahdiyahū yashraḥ ṣadrahū li-l-islām" (6:125). Which, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He want for you good, to be good, He open your heart – Islām for to find happiness, to find every good thing. This is our Creator, He show us the way of happiness.
Because you are creature. Somebody create you. Only Creator He is Allāh Azza wa-Jalla. So no anyone creator to show you what to do. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He‘ show us, create us and show us what to do.
But people they are not looking for this, looking for their pleasure. They thought they will be find happiness, pleasure without through going this way, way of Allāh. But it is wrong. In, when you real have īmān – belief, good belief, you be happy. And this is also will of Allāh You must be happy Allāh create us. After, He make us to be Muslim. We are thanking for Him. Because many people, they don't accept. They are saying, "We are living in world and happiness [is] in good car, good
house, or big house, big car, big business."
But people they are not satisfied. They're, you have one small house, you need, you said you [need] more bigger, bigger and bigger. Your ego not satisfied at all with the pleasure of dunyā, even you said. You see, we whole human being seeing – thought rich people they are happy people and they had enough, not, they don't want more. It is exactly opposite. Small people, they want small thing. But big one, they are big want big, bigger and bigger and they are not ashamed to do anything to get this. Everything they can do. There are no anything make them to prevent them because they have money, they have power. They want more and more and more. And you think every time they getting more, they becoming – they find happiness. No. Every time they find more unhappiness because they are looking only for material. Material not giving happiness for you, for anybody of human.
Maybe with īmān, you can find this happiness. You are rich and you are giving what Allāh order to give. Every time you give, you feel more happy. But if you are following your ego and giving for bad thing, every time you fall [into] more misery, more sadness. This is very nice āyah from Qur’ān, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Creator, He show us way of happiness. People, they are going wrong direction. Happiness this side, people they are going exactly opposite and after they say, "We couldn't find happiness." And they said, Muslim also, they don't have happiness. Of course. Because they are also following this people from media, from TV, from movie, from... Everywhere now they are controlling. So all human being, they thought this is right but they don't know they are going exactly opposite. Every time going more away, faraway from happiness. They going to sadness, to go to misery, to go to not good thing.
This is Muslim or not Muslim, who are not following and not believe what Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla saying, they are becoming, not become happy. The happy must be with Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla . When He is with us, everything we must be happy because He choose , He give hidāyah for people – for us. Some of them from birth, some of them after, they
become for hidāyah. This is our biggest happiness for us, in shā’a Llāh. Allāh make us to know value of this. No value for anything else. Allāh, H
