for you. But the people, they are not understanding. These people, you speak to wall maybe understand, but people not understanding this. You give advice, you give naṣīḥah, nobody want.
But this is what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying for for Muslim, for mu’min – this honour – very important. Maybe for other people, for other non-Muslim people not important. They are astonishing why this people, they are so much looking after this thing. "It is normal. We are like animal, any time we can be with anybody." But when Muslim they seeing this also, they becoming – real Muslim – not
happy, become angry. So this is important for people to not look for thing. Other people they thought they put in front of you. You cannot eat anything, what[ever] they put in front of you. What, and the most what they put, they put dirt and you are eating with – very very happy.
All what they put in front of us, this people – dirt and dirt and dirt. Nothing else. And people they are very happy with this. I don't know because there is in factory of this food factory, they have special chemical, if they put in dirt, become delicious. So this is what they doing, this people. And whole world running after them and they are happy with this.
Allāh make us to be awake, to not fall in this bad thing. Allāh make us to be away. Don't imitate them. Everything you must be careful.
Now many people, they are very anxious about vaccination. And must be... For everything you must be like this. This one of them; one from million of the thing they are doing. But this it is in your eyes, so you are afraid – if it is good, if not good, "If I take vaccination, maybe whole life it will be for me." Other thing they give you without knowing, whole life and, maybe for other life also, it will be affecting you. So be careful for everything. Don't believe them. Don't do what they are do. At least, if you will do, do it later. At least you say, "I tried and, little bit, Allāh forgive me." Allāh save us from all this bad thing, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
106.THE WORST CHEATER Thursday, 8 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. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "An tu’addū l-amānāti ilá ahlihā," says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, "wa-idhā ḥakamtum bayna n-nāsi an taḥkumū bi- l-‘adl" (4:58).
Return what is entrusted to you to its owners, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. A trust means whatever right you received from people to give back, you should return it to them. These trusts and rights should be returned to whomever they belong. Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla says so. Give them back to their owners. Because they will be asked for. The right does not get lost.
Allāh will forgive His, right. And when a person has a right not returned, he will be saved if he returns it in this world. If you pay it, or if the person releases you from it, you are free from it. If you do not do this and say you will not return it, that you are clever and that you cheat people because they are stupid, you are the stupid one.
Who keeps someone's right is stupid and an idiot himself. Because that right does not get lost. That right is in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. It is not gone. That right will certainly be paid. If you pay it in this world, you will be in peace because it will not bring benefit to you in this world if taken intentionally. When taken unintentionally, maybe by disagreement, you can pay it back according to what you think and take care of it. But when you take someone's right on purpose and see them
as stupid, that is your stupidity, not theirs. They will make you pay their right in the presence of Allāh. Therefore, we should be careful.
Whatever right you have taken, you may try to pay it back once or twice. Even if by mistake you give and it goes from you, you may count it as ṣadaqah then. But when you keep it, it is a burden on you and it is more difficult then. Nothing will be lost of what you give. Lost is what you don't give.
Therefore, we should be careful about these things regarding others. If someone has taken your right, you should say it is your right, as a warning in order for them not to fall into hardship. You should take your right and return other's. It is equally applicable to common people and to people with religious ranks. ''I am serving the religion. Bring money to me. Bring from your family. Bring your husband's money. Bring your children's money. I am doing service," they say. It is more dangerous. It is heavy. Because it happens a lot, unfortunately. They are cheating people on behalf of religion and taking people's rights. And then they are enjoying it. That pleasure does not benefit you. That pleasure is not good for you.
A Muslim who says he is a scholar or representative will be counted precisely. He should be very cautious in order not to take anyone's right. It is absolutely unacceptable to openly take other people's money for Islamic service and spend it for other purposes. It is wrong. We are not pleased with this matter. We hear about it from time to time. It does not happen only among us. It is everywhere now. But we are not happy with it. Whoever hears about it should not think Mawlānā is happy about it. We are never, ever happy with things that Allāh is not happy with. We see the right...
There was one of our brothers – Nevfel Bey. He was our partner as well. Someone gave him $4,000 as zakāh. May Allāh bless his soul, he was unsure about it and gave $12,000. He returned $4,000 and added double to it. He gave it from his own pocket in order not to take anyone's right. There are such people as well. And there are other people who take
money for Islām and use it for personal pleasure. Ignorant people may do this. But when Muslims do this, it is not good. It doesn't suit them and it doesn't bring any benefit.
While alive, they should pay back the rights and trusts to those who are owners of them. It is Allāh's order.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "An tu’addū l-amānāti ilá ahlihā" (4:58). You should see it as a trust and say, "I took it as a loan from this person so I return it. Let this right be returned while I am alive so that these people forgive me." It is an important thing. We should be careful because it is a test. There is a test in everything. And it is a big test. It will be given. And people are living, give back people's rights. No one will say anything [against you] then. They will take their rights and wish that Allāh is pleased with you. Those burdens as heavy as a mountain will be lifted off you too.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur'ān ‘aẓīmu sh-sha’n. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "An tu’addū l- amānāti ilá ahlihā wa-idhā ḥakamtum bayna n-nāsi an taḥkumū bi-l-‘adl" (4:58).
When something you get from people, give them back. This anything, money or other thing what they give you, you must give back for these people. This is order of Allāh. And when you judge between people, judge in justice. Don’t make look for this my friend or this is from my nation or other. What is just, you must judge like this. But for our ṣuḥbah or this first part we are important because many people they cheat people and they take from them what they like and they not give them back. And they are very happy: "We are clever, we take this from people, and we are clever people. This stupid people, we cheat them and they cannot do anything, no proof nothing from their hand."
Normally Allāh order also to, if you give something, you write, put witness to be have some document in your hand. This is also order of Allāh. But people, because they thought, "He is very honest, very good people, they are not doing, or friend, they cannot cheat us." So they
cheated by these people. And these people very happy, "Wow, mā shā’a Llāh, idiot people full of world. We can live for end of life from one idiot to the other idiot. We cheat people and we can live like this."
The real idiot he is. Real stupid he is who say this, cheating people. He cheat himself. When he cheat people and take this, first of all for this dunyā, this world, this life it is not good for him even, no any benefit from it. Coming curse from this what you take, cheat people. Coming bad luck, coming everything, coming against you. Because this without... ḥalāl... without. These people who take you, they are not happy. They are angry.
So this is in dunyā like this. But the most worse thing, if these people they pass away and they not forgive you. For this you must, astaghfirullah, Insha Allah, maybe with knowing or without knowing. Sometimes if without knowing – maybe can forgive but if, even with this you must be careful. You must ask and be sure you didn't take anybody's right, anybody's thing. But other who are cheating people, and these people pass away, no anything can take their right. You cannot take their right – only in Ākhirah. And in Ākhirah all this what they get, you get from them, you will pay but not with money, with your good deed. Or if no good deed, they will put their sins and you be carry their sins. This is very important. Many people they are doing this. Especially these days, everywhere, every day you hear people cheating people. Now also they have this telephone cheating – "I am police, you do this, you must pay for us." People, poor people they give. Other I am saying, "I am from secret service. You must pay this." They also pay. They thought it is good for them. These people we know but the worst from this, all of this, who using religion, Islām, ṭarīqah, for cheating people. Alhamdulilah, Allāh send for us, for ṭarīqah, from His endless treasure. But many people they using this. They collecting from people for religion, for spreading Islām, or for spreading, they said they spread, "We are doing this for that ṭarīqah, for other," and cheating people and they are taking from people. After, they are using this for their travelling, for enjoyment, staying in luxe hotels, or buying things. And people they thought they are doing this for Allāh. These people who
give, Allāh will reward them because for their intention. But for other people it is not like this. It will be worse than normal people who cheating for dunyā only.
If you are cheating for name of Allāh, name of religion, this is very bad thing. For this we must be very careful, very, very careful about this. We must be sensitive. There is Turkish saying: "You cut hair for 40 piece." Not like this... from very thin, you must think about this. Because for Ākhirah it is difficult but if you are in life and people, many people they asking for their debt from people. They say, "Okay, I will give," and they are never giving. This is option [for] this people in life. After their death, you cannot find to give them anything. If you give 10 times they are not there and they are not forgive you, not forgive you for what you do. So it will be difficult for you. And it is real some people they doing this and some people they are very careful for this. There was one of our big brother he was, we was partner with him. He passed away, raḥmatu Llāhi ‘alayh. Once one of his friend give him 4000 dollars. He said, "You are knowing poor people. This zakāh disturb [distribute] for this people, poor people." And he said, "I give this amount three times because I doubt it is this good or not good." He gave 4000 this man. He spent 12,000 dollar, 8000 from his pocket and 4000 from this man's pocket. This is Allāh reward him. Nothing going without reward. Everything count and write in Divine Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. So, very important. This is many time we say for people who claim they are doing good for people. But unfortunately who are doing this, they must leave what they do and they must give these people their debt also. If they not doing this, it will be no benefit for them, even maybe, subḥāna Llāh, it is maybe Allāh send them away from ṭarīqah, from religion. It is dangerous, very dangerous this, more dangerous [than for] normal people.
Allāh keep us, keep ourselves from our nafs, to not do bad thing, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
107.BY THE MORNING AND THE TEN NIGHTS Friday, 9 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 swears by, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla swears by things that are precious. We are entering the month of Dhū l-Ḥijjah in two days, Insha Allah. Starting from tomorrow evening there are these ten nights. "Wa-l-fajr" (89:1). Fajr means dawn. It is a holy time. Whoever gets up and prays at that time receives blessings and virtues. He attains worldly and other worldly virtues.
And there are ten nights. These nights start from tomorrow evening. The tenth day is the first day of ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. These holy nights last until then. Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is swearing by them in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh- Sha’n. The things He swears by are precious things. There are many things He swears by in the Qur’ān. And among them, there are these ten nights, ten days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah, which are very blessed. Worship performed during them...
It is the second of the prohibited months. The first one, Dhū l-Qa‘dah is ending. Then come Dhū l-Ḥijjah and Muḥarram. They were forbidden because of ḥajj in order not to make war and attack people unnecessarily. When they attack you, it is a different matter but it was forbidden to start a war. These are holy forbidden months, honoured months. And there are many holy days within them. There are many holy nights. The first ten nights of Dhū l-Ḥijjah are from them. Whoever fasts for a day of them, it is as if he fasted for a whole year, says our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam in a ḥadīth.
Whoever stays awake for one night, it is as if he stayed awake for a whole year. To stay awake for a night means to take ablution and pray two raka‘āt before going to bed and to wake up for tahajjud. Whoever does it revives the night.
Some people think that to revive the night, iḥyā’u l-layl, you have to stay awake for the whole night. If you want to do so, you can do it once a year or once in three to five years. However, our Holy Prophet is showing the easy and beautiful way that Allāh is accepting as Iḥyā’ (revival). When you pray two raka‘āt and get up for tahajjud, you do iḥyā’u l-layl. You can do this every night. Who cannot do, at least should do during these ten nights. If you start from tomorrow, you will reach a great virtue. It will be counted as if you stayed awake for all the nights of a year.
It wasn't meant for people to go to ḥajj this year. Whoever is allowed to go, these are the days nearest to ḥajj. Usually it starts earlier, but now people are coming much closer to it. Some people have never seen the Ka‘bah, Baytu Llāh or the maqām of the Holy Prophet. They were waiting in excitement but couldn't go this year. It is by the will of Allāh.
Everything is destined When it's not in your destiny, it doesn't happen. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla told Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām to call the adhān when he built the Ka‘bah, the Baytu Llāh in Makkah. Ibrāhīm (as): "There is no one here." Allāh: "Call the adhān. Whoever hears it will be meant to perform ḥajj. So they will come and make ḥajj." Therefore, whoever heard the adhān of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām certainly goes to ḥajj. Who doesn't hear it can try to go as much as he can, it's not in his destiny. Either he can't go himself, or the way is closed, or something else. There will be an obstacle.
May Allāh bless these days. May we know their value, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh bless them for many years, Insha Allah. May we all reach them in health and with īmān, Insha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He swore in something in Qur’ān. This is valuable,
valuable in Divine Presence of Allāh. And not everything Allāh swore for this. In Qur’ān many āyāt like this. But this, for this time, for this days, He swore on first "wa-l-fajr". Bismi Llāhi r- Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "wa- l-fajr, wa-layālin ‘ashr" (89:1-2). For morning, time of morning, this before sunrise. Fajr meaning, before sunrise; nearly between one and a half hour and two hour. This is time of fajr. It is very blessed time, very blessed praying – fajr. Who wake up and worship and...
Before people, there was no television, no electricity. They say, sleeping early and they wake up with fajr, praying their fajr praying. After, they go to work. It was barakah for people. The most blessed, barakah time is fajr time.
For this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla swore on this also first – "wa-l-fajr". After, "wa-layālin ‘ashr" – ten holy nights. This is begining of Dhū l-Ḥijjah, month of pilgrimage, for month of Ḥajj. and month for slaughter also. This also blessed one. They are, this ten nights – it's very very valuable. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Who fast one day from this, He ,accept like one year for each day. And who make qiyāmu l-layl, meaning will – make night to be awake – It will be as one year he wake up, whole for worshipping. This is what valuable of this.
And there is also for people, many people, when they say, "Qiyāmu l- layl – whole night will be awake." Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, who pray ‘Ishā’, before sleeping making wuḍū’ and pray two raka‘āt, and wake up for tahajjud, he it is iḥyā’ - qiyāmu l-layl. Whole night as [if] it is worshipping.
This is what people, they are misunderstanding. So some people, they make not sleeping whole night, trying to be awake for this night. But if you do this, maybe you can do it once a year, or once in three years, or once five year, once only.
But alḥamdulilah, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, he show us this way, Allāh accept as you are whole night awake. To make sleep with wuḍū’, and two raka‘āt, and wake up for tahajjud – this is Iḥyā’u l-
Layl. This is what Prophet and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla accept. When you do this, many people they can do it maybe every month; once, twice, three times or more or less. It is easy for people and acceptable. But people, they are not understanding very well. So alḥamdulilah, Allāh generous. We do small thing, He reward us big thing.
So we must be, in shā’a Llāh happy with this blessed days. And at the end of this days, also 'Īd feast and the good thing, Insha Allah. Allāh accept our du‘ā’, keep us safe from every badness especially from this, what happened this in world.
Allāh keep us strong īmān to not fear from a thing. We must fear from Allāh, not from thing. Many billion things. If you afraid from thing, you will be afraid all time. For this people, they are getting psychology illness and they are whole time afraid. Only you afraid from Allāh – this is our advice. Everything Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He create and He control. If one thing He order, they finish whole universe, not only your world. So don't worry.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
108.BE AWAKE Saturday, 10 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 to Muslims, "Always be on guard so that an enemy doesn't cheat you suddenly." They want to drown you in a spoonful of water. Enemies are like this, the enemies of Allāh and the enemies of the believers. Shayṭān and his associates never want to leave us alone. They cheat a little by saying, "We are not enemies. We will help you," and then cheat everyone, not only Muslims. They want to take away people's property, without caring if it is worth a lot or very little, and make it their own. And they want to get rid of Muslims. This is what shayṭān and his associates do.
Allāh is saying to Muslims about them, "Don't be cheated by them. Don't believe them." Because you cannot trust their words. You cannot trust them at all. They set up a lot of traps. They think they cheat people and get benefit from it. In fact, they cheat themselves. They cannot cheat Allāh. Even though they cheat people, eventually, what they do won't bring them any benefit. If they want benefit they should do right, they will have 1,000 times more benefit and 1,000 times more goodness. But people obey shayṭān and want to destroy each other. May Allāh protect us.
To cheat someone... They may say anyway we get cheated. That's not right. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, "Lā yuldaghu l-mu’minu min juḥrin wāḥidin marratayn." A believer is not bitten from the same snake hole twice. He is not bitten. Once bitten, when passing
by for a second time, he will think, "There is danger. I should be careful". And if you're not careful and get bitten again, it is your mistake then. You will suffer from it by yourself.
So Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam don't say, "Be cheated." They say, "Don't be cheated." Don't be cheated. If you are cheated once, know your mistake and don't do it again. It is not a skill to make mistakes. It is important if you make a mistake, to learn from it. May Allāh protect us.
It was widespread in the old days and it is even more so nowadays. Therefore, people should always be careful at every step, be careful at every spoken word. In short, they should be careful in this life. Because it is not good to give away the favours of Allāh to other undeserving people. May Allāh protect all of us Insha Allah.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "to be awake to not be cheated" in this world because, since beginning of Ādam, from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now there is people, they like to cheat other people and to take their thing and they are happy to do this for people. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla in the Qur’ān also saying be aware for these people, for these people they like to cheat you.
Even when you are fighting, be awake. They may be you little bit not thinking they are not will do anything, quickly they attack you and finish you. So for this, even in Qur’ān Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, if you are praying even you pray one rak‘ah, other people stop. You guard this other mu’min, pray other one rakat and then this one rak‘ah. Not all together make your praying and when you see this enemy for you like this – quickly they are attacking and finish you. And here the lesson – to be awake, not to give any chance for enemy to to do what they want to do. You must be awake. You must destroy their plan, their...what they're thinking, to not do bad thing for you. When you see these people, they are not idiot, they are doing anything, so they stop – not doing bad thing for you but they're not finish from this thinking.
They're all time, from beginning of history or ta’rīkh, they're any time you are little bit sleepy, they attack you. They take you what they want.
For this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam also, saying, "Be awake," not to do, to let these people to cheat you, take anything from you – especially to take your īmān. This is what they want. First thing to finish, to destroy your īmān. But normally these people they are showing themselves as they're helping people. But from beginning, when they find any poor people, any weak people, they take them... their what they have and not giving no any mercy for these people. They not giving any mercy, they don't have any mercy in their heart.
This what they do and after, they saying, "We're helping, we are make these people better." No. These people, for Muslim, for non-Muslim, they are enemy, enemy of mankind. Enemy, mankind enemy is shayṭān and who follow him is also enemy for mankind. For this, don't think to it is good to be not saying anything, keep quiet, oh they can... "We know we are cheated but they can take." No. This is your, Allāh give you provision, your ni‘mah. You must keep for yourself, for your family, for your country, for poor people. Not to give this crook people. The crook people they have, they cannot also do any good thing, only bad thing for themselves even. Because when they take this, with bad praying on them, they will be not happy even they take whole world provision.
Allāh Azza wa-Jalla keep us safe from these people. These people was before and now also. Now maybe more, more and more because human being they forget anything good thing from good honour, good behave and so they are only thinking how to cheat each other. It is not good attribute, this is attribute, only shayṭān attribute. Be awake from this, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
109.YOU MUST LEARN WISDOM Sunday, 11 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.
To order goodness and to prevent badness are the orders of Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla ordered people to do this. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-ya’murūna bi-l-ma‘rūfi wa- yanhawna ‘ani l-munkar" (3:104). It is the attribute of Muslims. However, there is a group in the end of times now. They know neither goodness, nor badness. They mix them. We know this group who are Salafī and Wahhābī. They prevent goodness and order badness by saying, "Don't respect our Prophet don't respect ṣaḥābah. They are just like us." We understand that. That group doesn't seem to improve. We gave up on them.
But there are Muslim people who are not from them but from Ahlu s- Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah. When good things are done, they say, "Our Prophet didn't order that. It is not sunnah. It is innovation. Don't ever do this." They try to cheat people like this. They are cheated themselves and misleading people. A man wants to pray. They say, "Don't pray. Our Prophet -prayed ṣalātu ltahajjud, he did. How can you say this? He didn't pray." He tasbīḥ. And you are preventing people without knowing.
Holy days are coming. They say, "Our Holy Prophet didn't pay attention to these days." There are ḥadīth. These first ten days of Dhū l- Ḥijjah – Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla mentioned their importance even in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. He swore by them. And they say our Prophet didn't respect them.
If our Holy Prophet did everything [all the time] – they don't understand this, these people have no wisdom – it would become farḍ. When it's farḍ, everyone must do it.
There are many ḥadīth for Muslims to respect these days. There are famous ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth which say fasting one of these days is like fasting for a year, reviving a night (iḥyā’u l-layl) is like reviving a year. There are all of these. But these people don't say anything to those people who do nothing, they only bother people who worship, people who want to be closer to Allāh. They are confusing them. And people doubt and wonder if they are making a mistake. They pray and wonder if they are doing wrong. People ask themselves if they are committing sins.
There are "great scholars" who graduated from Al-Azhar, from theology schools who always say, "You do what our Prophet didn't do." This means they are preventing worshipping people from their worship. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "A-ra’ayta lladhī yanhá. ‘Abdan idhā ṣallá. A-ra’ayta in kāna ‘alá l-hudá. Aw amara bi-t-taqwá" (96:9-12). Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is saying, "Do you see this man who prevents the worshipping man from his worship? What kind of man is he?" Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is denouncing him.
Those people say they are scholars. We don't understand how they understand these āyāt.These matters have wisdom in them. Who don't know the wisdom, "Wa-man yu’ta l-ḥikmata fa-qad ūtiya khayran kathīra" (2:269). Whoever has been given wisdom from the presence of Allāh, attained great goodness. You may have read all books, graduated from many universities, unless you have wisdom, you are useless. We should know its wisdom. And wisdom is not taught in universities. It is taught near a shaykh, near a murshid. Doctors are taught at universities, veterinarians and others. Whatever they can't teach there, you learn near a shaykh in order to be good. Unless you learn it, your knowledge is useless. It is harmful and useless. May Allāh protect us.
By the way, there was a man whose name was Hikmet (Wisdom). Mawlānā, may his maqām be exalted, used to call him wisdomless
Hikmet. It is not enough to be named Hikmet. He should match that wisdom.
In our days, many people they are... must be following order of Allāh, what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, to order with good thing, to prevent from bad thing, to do bad thing. This is order of Allāh and people they must do this. But these days there is group of people, they call them, like this ordering: "Wa-ya’murūna bi-l-ma‘rūfi wa-yanhawna ‘ani l-munkar" (3:104) – especially Wahhābī people they have people they pay for them to do this job. Normally, without paying, everybody what it is good you must order, what not good he must prevent or tell people this is not good. But these people they are doing opposite. They ordering not good thing and they are doing bad thing. What is this?
To not, first of all the worst thing to not respect Prophet, not respect Ṣaḥābah and Ahlu l- Bayt. They said, "This is people like us. If you respect you'll be mushrik, shirk." And these people we are... we don't have anything with them because they don't have mind, their head like rock. No need to speak too much for them. This is we are fed up from telling people about these people. Everybody they know them. No need to speak for them.
But we speak about people, they are claiming they are Ahlu s-Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah, respect Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Ṣaḥābah and Ahlu l-Bayt and also they try to tell people good thing and to tell them what they must do, what they not must do. But first thing, these people they must learn what they must say, they must learn wisdom. Wisdom not... Many people from these people they have PhD and other thing from knowledge of religion or honour from highest university in Islamic place. And they are, time by time, appearing and say something. They are even worse than Wahhābī, Salafī. Wahhābī, Salafī, every people they know these people so they're not even listening. If they see in some now in mobile have everything, when opening, "Oh this Wahhābī" – they quickly change. But these people they claiming they are Ahlu s-Sunnah. This is more dangerous than other.
What is this people saying? They are not looking for people they are not practicing. There are all around Islamic country, millions of people they are going without any aim, without any thing, without any hope, just running after dunyā. These people, this not important for these people. The important thing – people who are trying to become nearer for Allāh with nāfilah, with ‘ibādah, with nāfilah, with everything Prophet like. And hear, they hear Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he like and saying [to] people, "If you do this, you'll be rewarded like this." So these people they try, of... also they're not hundred percent doing this, they try. But these people... this one people we said, "One step front, one step behind." They're, "We do or not to do?" These people they encourage them to not do. "Don't pray nāfilah – Prophet he didn't say. Do, done – he didn't do this. Don't fast. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he also he didn't fast these days.
These days not important for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Holy days, nothing holy days, blessed days, blessed night, holy night." This is, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla even in Qur’ān, Allāh mentioned these days. "Wa-l-fajr, wa-layālin ‘ashr" (89:1-2). This most holy days, swore on this nights. But these people, they saying, "Prophet nights in Qur'ān Allāh didn't fast these days. Don't fast." Of course, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam if he fast it will be farḍ, obligatory for us to do. But this is nāfilah. With nāfilah, you can. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam you do nāfilah to get more nearer to Allāh, and if you are nearer to Allāh you be, your hand, Allāh with your hand, with your feet, with everything you'll be with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. [Ḥadīth Qudsī] This is what we try to do. And these people they're not looking everything.
Every time you find holy, blessed night or blessed day, they are saying, "This is Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he didn't do this, he not..." But there is ḥadīth, many, many, many ḥadīth, true ḥadīth – they said weak ḥadīth – true ḥadīth, this ḥadīth for these days: "Who fast one day, like fasting one year. Who make Qiyāmu l-Layl, he's like one year Qiyāmu l- Layl." Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla accept and reward him. All this ḥadīth and these people, I don't know their intention. Pure intention or idiot intention? Because... or I don't know what is their intention, what
they benefit from this.
Maybe somebody, enemy of Islām, pay them to do this, to make people not worshiping, not you become more pure for Islām – to destroy Islām. This is what. And anything you think it is not good. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He give more reward for people they are not listening for these people. "Rijālun lā tulhīhim" (24:37)
Link: https://www.nvrislam.net/index.php?j=eng&post=5588
for you. But the people, they are not understanding. These people, you speak to wall maybe understand, but people not understanding this. You give advice, you give naṣīḥah, nobody want.
But this is what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying for for Muslim, for mu’min – this honour – very important. Maybe for other people, for other non-Muslim people not important. They are astonishing why this people, they are so much looking after this thing. "It is normal. We are like animal, any time we can be with anybody." But when Muslim they seeing this also, they becoming – real Muslim – not
happy, become angry. So this is important for people to not look for thing. Other people they thought they put in front of you. You cannot eat anything, what[ever] they put in front of you. What, and the most what they put, they put dirt and you are eating with – very very happy.
All what they put in front of us, this people – dirt and dirt and dirt. Nothing else. And people they are very happy with this. I don't know because there is in factory of this food factory, they have special chemical, if they put in dirt, become delicious. So this is what they doing, this people. And whole world running after them and they are happy with this.
Allāh make us to be awake, to not fall in this bad thing. Allāh make us to be away. Don't imitate them. Everything you must be careful.
Now many people, they are very anxious about vaccination. And must be... For everything you must be like this. This one of them; one from million of the thing they are doing. But this it is in your eyes, so you are afraid – if it is good, if not good, "If I take vaccination, maybe whole life it will be for me." Other thing they give you without knowing, whole life and, maybe for other life also, it will be affecting you. So be careful for everything. Don't believe them. Don't do what they are do. At least, if you will do, do it later. At least you say, "I tried and, little bit, Allāh forgive me." Allāh save us from all this bad thing, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
106.THE WORST CHEATER Thursday, 8 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. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "An tu’addū l-amānāti ilá ahlihā," says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, "wa-idhā ḥakamtum bayna n-nāsi an taḥkumū bi- l-‘adl" (4:58).
Return what is entrusted to you to its owners, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. A trust means whatever right you received from people to give back, you should return it to them. These trusts and rights should be returned to whomever they belong. Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla says so. Give them back to their owners. Because they will be asked for. The right does not get lost.
Allāh will forgive His, right. And when a person has a right not returned, he will be saved if he returns it in this world. If you pay it, or if the person releases you from it, you are free from it. If you do not do this and say you will not return it, that you are clever and that you cheat people because they are stupid, you are the stupid one.
Who keeps someone's right is stupid and an idiot himself. Because that right does not get lost. That right is in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla. It is not gone. That right will certainly be paid. If you pay it in this world, you will be in peace because it will not bring benefit to you in this world if taken intentionally. When taken unintentionally, maybe by disagreement, you can pay it back according to what you think and take care of it. But when you take someone's right on purpose and see them
as stupid, that is your stupidity, not theirs. They will make you pay their right in the presence of Allāh. Therefore, we should be careful.
Whatever right you have taken, you may try to pay it back once or twice. Even if by mistake you give and it goes from you, you may count it as ṣadaqah then. But when you keep it, it is a burden on you and it is more difficult then. Nothing will be lost of what you give. Lost is what you don't give.
Therefore, we should be careful about these things regarding others. If someone has taken your right, you should say it is your right, as a warning in order for them not to fall into hardship. You should take your right and return other's. It is equally applicable to common people and to people with religious ranks. ''I am serving the religion. Bring money to me. Bring from your family. Bring your husband's money. Bring your children's money. I am doing service," they say. It is more dangerous. It is heavy. Because it happens a lot, unfortunately. They are cheating people on behalf of religion and taking people's rights. And then they are enjoying it. That pleasure does not benefit you. That pleasure is not good for you.
A Muslim who says he is a scholar or representative will be counted precisely. He should be very cautious in order not to take anyone's right. It is absolutely unacceptable to openly take other people's money for Islamic service and spend it for other purposes. It is wrong. We are not pleased with this matter. We hear about it from time to time. It does not happen only among us. It is everywhere now. But we are not happy with it. Whoever hears about it should not think Mawlānā is happy about it. We are never, ever happy with things that Allāh is not happy with. We see the right...
There was one of our brothers – Nevfel Bey. He was our partner as well. Someone gave him $4,000 as zakāh. May Allāh bless his soul, he was unsure about it and gave $12,000. He returned $4,000 and added double to it. He gave it from his own pocket in order not to take anyone's right. There are such people as well. And there are other people who take
money for Islām and use it for personal pleasure. Ignorant people may do this. But when Muslims do this, it is not good. It doesn't suit them and it doesn't bring any benefit.
While alive, they should pay back the rights and trusts to those who are owners of them. It is Allāh's order.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "An tu’addū l-amānāti ilá ahlihā" (4:58). You should see it as a trust and say, "I took it as a loan from this person so I return it. Let this right be returned while I am alive so that these people forgive me." It is an important thing. We should be careful because it is a test. There is a test in everything. And it is a big test. It will be given. And people are living, give back people's rights. No one will say anything [against you] then. They will take their rights and wish that Allāh is pleased with you. Those burdens as heavy as a mountain will be lifted off you too.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur'ān ‘aẓīmu sh-sha’n. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "An tu’addū l- amānāti ilá ahlihā wa-idhā ḥakamtum bayna n-nāsi an taḥkumū bi-l-‘adl" (4:58).
When something you get from people, give them back. This anything, money or other thing what they give you, you must give back for these people. This is order of Allāh. And when you judge between people, judge in justice. Don’t make look for this my friend or this is from my nation or other. What is just, you must judge like this. But for our ṣuḥbah or this first part we are important because many people they cheat people and they take from them what they like and they not give them back. And they are very happy: "We are clever, we take this from people, and we are clever people. This stupid people, we cheat them and they cannot do anything, no proof nothing from their hand."
Normally Allāh order also to, if you give something, you write, put witness to be have some document in your hand. This is also order of Allāh. But people, because they thought, "He is very honest, very good people, they are not doing, or friend, they cannot cheat us." So they
cheated by these people. And these people very happy, "Wow, mā shā’a Llāh, idiot people full of world. We can live for end of life from one idiot to the other idiot. We cheat people and we can live like this."
The real idiot he is. Real stupid he is who say this, cheating people. He cheat himself. When he cheat people and take this, first of all for this dunyā, this world, this life it is not good for him even, no any benefit from it. Coming curse from this what you take, cheat people. Coming bad luck, coming everything, coming against you. Because this without... ḥalāl... without. These people who take you, they are not happy. They are angry.
So this is in dunyā like this. But the most worse thing, if these people they pass away and they not forgive you. For this you must, astaghfirullah, Insha Allah, maybe with knowing or without knowing. Sometimes if without knowing – maybe can forgive but if, even with this you must be careful. You must ask and be sure you didn't take anybody's right, anybody's thing. But other who are cheating people, and these people pass away, no anything can take their right. You cannot take their right – only in Ākhirah. And in Ākhirah all this what they get, you get from them, you will pay but not with money, with your good deed. Or if no good deed, they will put their sins and you be carry their sins. This is very important. Many people they are doing this. Especially these days, everywhere, every day you hear people cheating people. Now also they have this telephone cheating – "I am police, you do this, you must pay for us." People, poor people they give. Other I am saying, "I am from secret service. You must pay this." They also pay. They thought it is good for them. These people we know but the worst from this, all of this, who using religion, Islām, ṭarīqah, for cheating people. Alhamdulilah, Allāh send for us, for ṭarīqah, from His endless treasure. But many people they using this. They collecting from people for religion, for spreading Islām, or for spreading, they said they spread, "We are doing this for that ṭarīqah, for other," and cheating people and they are taking from people. After, they are using this for their travelling, for enjoyment, staying in luxe hotels, or buying things. And people they thought they are doing this for Allāh. These people who
give, Allāh will reward them because for their intention. But for other people it is not like this. It will be worse than normal people who cheating for dunyā only.
If you are cheating for name of Allāh, name of religion, this is very bad thing. For this we must be very careful, very, very careful about this. We must be sensitive. There is Turkish saying: "You cut hair for 40 piece." Not like this... from very thin, you must think about this. Because for Ākhirah it is difficult but if you are in life and people, many people they asking for their debt from people. They say, "Okay, I will give," and they are never giving. This is option [for] this people in life. After their death, you cannot find to give them anything. If you give 10 times they are not there and they are not forgive you, not forgive you for what you do. So it will be difficult for you. And it is real some people they doing this and some people they are very careful for this. There was one of our big brother he was, we was partner with him. He passed away, raḥmatu Llāhi ‘alayh. Once one of his friend give him 4000 dollars. He said, "You are knowing poor people. This zakāh disturb [distribute] for this people, poor people." And he said, "I give this amount three times because I doubt it is this good or not good." He gave 4000 this man. He spent 12,000 dollar, 8000 from his pocket and 4000 from this man's pocket. This is Allāh reward him. Nothing going without reward. Everything count and write in Divine Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. So, very important. This is many time we say for people who claim they are doing good for people. But unfortunately who are doing this, they must leave what they do and they must give these people their debt also. If they not doing this, it will be no benefit for them, even maybe, subḥāna Llāh, it is maybe Allāh send them away from ṭarīqah, from religion. It is dangerous, very dangerous this, more dangerous [than for] normal people.
Allāh keep us, keep ourselves from our nafs, to not do bad thing, Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
107.BY THE MORNING AND THE TEN NIGHTS Friday, 9 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 swears by, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla swears by things that are precious. We are entering the month of Dhū l-Ḥijjah in two days, Insha Allah. Starting from tomorrow evening there are these ten nights. "Wa-l-fajr" (89:1). Fajr means dawn. It is a holy time. Whoever gets up and prays at that time receives blessings and virtues. He attains worldly and other worldly virtues.
And there are ten nights. These nights start from tomorrow evening. The tenth day is the first day of ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá. These holy nights last until then. Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is swearing by them in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh- Sha’n. The things He swears by are precious things. There are many things He swears by in the Qur’ān. And among them, there are these ten nights, ten days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah, which are very blessed. Worship performed during them...
It is the second of the prohibited months. The first one, Dhū l-Qa‘dah is ending. Then come Dhū l-Ḥijjah and Muḥarram. They were forbidden because of ḥajj in order not to make war and attack people unnecessarily. When they attack you, it is a different matter but it was forbidden to start a war. These are holy forbidden months, honoured months. And there are many holy days within them. There are many holy nights. The first ten nights of Dhū l-Ḥijjah are from them. Whoever fasts for a day of them, it is as if he fasted for a whole year, says our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam in a ḥadīth.
Whoever stays awake for one night, it is as if he stayed awake for a whole year. To stay awake for a night means to take ablution and pray two raka‘āt before going to bed and to wake up for tahajjud. Whoever does it revives the night.
Some people think that to revive the night, iḥyā’u l-layl, you have to stay awake for the whole night. If you want to do so, you can do it once a year or once in three to five years. However, our Holy Prophet is showing the easy and beautiful way that Allāh is accepting as Iḥyā’ (revival). When you pray two raka‘āt and get up for tahajjud, you do iḥyā’u l-layl. You can do this every night. Who cannot do, at least should do during these ten nights. If you start from tomorrow, you will reach a great virtue. It will be counted as if you stayed awake for all the nights of a year.
It wasn't meant for people to go to ḥajj this year. Whoever is allowed to go, these are the days nearest to ḥajj. Usually it starts earlier, but now people are coming much closer to it. Some people have never seen the Ka‘bah, Baytu Llāh or the maqām of the Holy Prophet. They were waiting in excitement but couldn't go this year. It is by the will of Allāh.
Everything is destined When it's not in your destiny, it doesn't happen. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla told Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām to call the adhān when he built the Ka‘bah, the Baytu Llāh in Makkah. Ibrāhīm (as): "There is no one here." Allāh: "Call the adhān. Whoever hears it will be meant to perform ḥajj. So they will come and make ḥajj." Therefore, whoever heard the adhān of Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām certainly goes to ḥajj. Who doesn't hear it can try to go as much as he can, it's not in his destiny. Either he can't go himself, or the way is closed, or something else. There will be an obstacle.
May Allāh bless these days. May we know their value, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh bless them for many years, Insha Allah. May we all reach them in health and with īmān, Insha Allah.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He swore in something in Qur’ān. This is valuable,
valuable in Divine Presence of Allāh. And not everything Allāh swore for this. In Qur’ān many āyāt like this. But this, for this time, for this days, He swore on first "wa-l-fajr". Bismi Llāhi r- Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "wa- l-fajr, wa-layālin ‘ashr" (89:1-2). For morning, time of morning, this before sunrise. Fajr meaning, before sunrise; nearly between one and a half hour and two hour. This is time of fajr. It is very blessed time, very blessed praying – fajr. Who wake up and worship and...
Before people, there was no television, no electricity. They say, sleeping early and they wake up with fajr, praying their fajr praying. After, they go to work. It was barakah for people. The most blessed, barakah time is fajr time.
For this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla swore on this also first – "wa-l-fajr". After, "wa-layālin ‘ashr" – ten holy nights. This is begining of Dhū l-Ḥijjah, month of pilgrimage, for month of Ḥajj. and month for slaughter also. This also blessed one. They are, this ten nights – it's very very valuable. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "Who fast one day from this, He ,accept like one year for each day. And who make qiyāmu l-layl, meaning will – make night to be awake – It will be as one year he wake up, whole for worshipping. This is what valuable of this.
And there is also for people, many people, when they say, "Qiyāmu l- layl – whole night will be awake." Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, who pray ‘Ishā’, before sleeping making wuḍū’ and pray two raka‘āt, and wake up for tahajjud, he it is iḥyā’ - qiyāmu l-layl. Whole night as [if] it is worshipping.
This is what people, they are misunderstanding. So some people, they make not sleeping whole night, trying to be awake for this night. But if you do this, maybe you can do it once a year, or once in three years, or once five year, once only.
But alḥamdulilah, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, he show us this way, Allāh accept as you are whole night awake. To make sleep with wuḍū’, and two raka‘āt, and wake up for tahajjud – this is Iḥyā’u l-
Layl. This is what Prophet and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla accept. When you do this, many people they can do it maybe every month; once, twice, three times or more or less. It is easy for people and acceptable. But people, they are not understanding very well. So alḥamdulilah, Allāh generous. We do small thing, He reward us big thing.
So we must be, in shā’a Llāh happy with this blessed days. And at the end of this days, also 'Īd feast and the good thing, Insha Allah. Allāh accept our du‘ā’, keep us safe from every badness especially from this, what happened this in world.
Allāh keep us strong īmān to not fear from a thing. We must fear from Allāh, not from thing. Many billion things. If you afraid from thing, you will be afraid all time. For this people, they are getting psychology illness and they are whole time afraid. Only you afraid from Allāh – this is our advice. Everything Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He create and He control. If one thing He order, they finish whole universe, not only your world. So don't worry.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
108.BE AWAKE Saturday, 10 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 to Muslims, "Always be on guard so that an enemy doesn't cheat you suddenly." They want to drown you in a spoonful of water. Enemies are like this, the enemies of Allāh and the enemies of the believers. Shayṭān and his associates never want to leave us alone. They cheat a little by saying, "We are not enemies. We will help you," and then cheat everyone, not only Muslims. They want to take away people's property, without caring if it is worth a lot or very little, and make it their own. And they want to get rid of Muslims. This is what shayṭān and his associates do.
Allāh is saying to Muslims about them, "Don't be cheated by them. Don't believe them." Because you cannot trust their words. You cannot trust them at all. They set up a lot of traps. They think they cheat people and get benefit from it. In fact, they cheat themselves. They cannot cheat Allāh. Even though they cheat people, eventually, what they do won't bring them any benefit. If they want benefit they should do right, they will have 1,000 times more benefit and 1,000 times more goodness. But people obey shayṭān and want to destroy each other. May Allāh protect us.
To cheat someone... They may say anyway we get cheated. That's not right. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, "Lā yuldaghu l-mu’minu min juḥrin wāḥidin marratayn." A believer is not bitten from the same snake hole twice. He is not bitten. Once bitten, when passing
by for a second time, he will think, "There is danger. I should be careful". And if you're not careful and get bitten again, it is your mistake then. You will suffer from it by yourself.
So Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam don't say, "Be cheated." They say, "Don't be cheated." Don't be cheated. If you are cheated once, know your mistake and don't do it again. It is not a skill to make mistakes. It is important if you make a mistake, to learn from it. May Allāh protect us.
It was widespread in the old days and it is even more so nowadays. Therefore, people should always be careful at every step, be careful at every spoken word. In short, they should be careful in this life. Because it is not good to give away the favours of Allāh to other undeserving people. May Allāh protect all of us Insha Allah.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, "to be awake to not be cheated" in this world because, since beginning of Ādam, from Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām until now there is people, they like to cheat other people and to take their thing and they are happy to do this for people. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla in the Qur’ān also saying be aware for these people, for these people they like to cheat you.
Even when you are fighting, be awake. They may be you little bit not thinking they are not will do anything, quickly they attack you and finish you. So for this, even in Qur’ān Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying, if you are praying even you pray one rak‘ah, other people stop. You guard this other mu’min, pray other one rakat and then this one rak‘ah. Not all together make your praying and when you see this enemy for you like this – quickly they are attacking and finish you. And here the lesson – to be awake, not to give any chance for enemy to to do what they want to do. You must be awake. You must destroy their plan, their...what they're thinking, to not do bad thing for you. When you see these people, they are not idiot, they are doing anything, so they stop – not doing bad thing for you but they're not finish from this thinking.
They're all time, from beginning of history or ta’rīkh, they're any time you are little bit sleepy, they attack you. They take you what they want.
For this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam also, saying, "Be awake," not to do, to let these people to cheat you, take anything from you – especially to take your īmān. This is what they want. First thing to finish, to destroy your īmān. But normally these people they are showing themselves as they're helping people. But from beginning, when they find any poor people, any weak people, they take them... their what they have and not giving no any mercy for these people. They not giving any mercy, they don't have any mercy in their heart.
This what they do and after, they saying, "We're helping, we are make these people better." No. These people, for Muslim, for non-Muslim, they are enemy, enemy of mankind. Enemy, mankind enemy is shayṭān and who follow him is also enemy for mankind. For this, don't think to it is good to be not saying anything, keep quiet, oh they can... "We know we are cheated but they can take." No. This is your, Allāh give you provision, your ni‘mah. You must keep for yourself, for your family, for your country, for poor people. Not to give this crook people. The crook people they have, they cannot also do any good thing, only bad thing for themselves even. Because when they take this, with bad praying on them, they will be not happy even they take whole world provision.
Allāh Azza wa-Jalla keep us safe from these people. These people was before and now also. Now maybe more, more and more because human being they forget anything good thing from good honour, good behave and so they are only thinking how to cheat each other. It is not good attribute, this is attribute, only shayṭān attribute. Be awake from this, Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
109.YOU MUST LEARN WISDOM Sunday, 11 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.
To order goodness and to prevent badness are the orders of Allāh. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla ordered people to do this. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "Wa-ya’murūna bi-l-ma‘rūfi wa- yanhawna ‘ani l-munkar" (3:104). It is the attribute of Muslims. However, there is a group in the end of times now. They know neither goodness, nor badness. They mix them. We know this group who are Salafī and Wahhābī. They prevent goodness and order badness by saying, "Don't respect our Prophet don't respect ṣaḥābah. They are just like us." We understand that. That group doesn't seem to improve. We gave up on them.
But there are Muslim people who are not from them but from Ahlu s- Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah. When good things are done, they say, "Our Prophet didn't order that. It is not sunnah. It is innovation. Don't ever do this." They try to cheat people like this. They are cheated themselves and misleading people. A man wants to pray. They say, "Don't pray. Our Prophet -prayed ṣalātu ltahajjud, he did. How can you say this? He didn't pray." He tasbīḥ. And you are preventing people without knowing.
Holy days are coming. They say, "Our Holy Prophet didn't pay attention to these days." There are ḥadīth. These first ten days of Dhū l- Ḥijjah – Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla mentioned their importance even in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. He swore by them. And they say our Prophet didn't respect them.
If our Holy Prophet did everything [all the time] – they don't understand this, these people have no wisdom – it would become farḍ. When it's farḍ, everyone must do it.
There are many ḥadīth for Muslims to respect these days. There are famous ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth which say fasting one of these days is like fasting for a year, reviving a night (iḥyā’u l-layl) is like reviving a year. There are all of these. But these people don't say anything to those people who do nothing, they only bother people who worship, people who want to be closer to Allāh. They are confusing them. And people doubt and wonder if they are making a mistake. They pray and wonder if they are doing wrong. People ask themselves if they are committing sins.
There are "great scholars" who graduated from Al-Azhar, from theology schools who always say, "You do what our Prophet didn't do." This means they are preventing worshipping people from their worship. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "A-ra’ayta lladhī yanhá. ‘Abdan idhā ṣallá. A-ra’ayta in kāna ‘alá l-hudá. Aw amara bi-t-taqwá" (96:9-12). Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is saying, "Do you see this man who prevents the worshipping man from his worship? What kind of man is he?" Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is denouncing him.
Those people say they are scholars. We don't understand how they understand these āyāt.These matters have wisdom in them. Who don't know the wisdom, "Wa-man yu’ta l-ḥikmata fa-qad ūtiya khayran kathīra" (2:269). Whoever has been given wisdom from the presence of Allāh, attained great goodness. You may have read all books, graduated from many universities, unless you have wisdom, you are useless. We should know its wisdom. And wisdom is not taught in universities. It is taught near a shaykh, near a murshid. Doctors are taught at universities, veterinarians and others. Whatever they can't teach there, you learn near a shaykh in order to be good. Unless you learn it, your knowledge is useless. It is harmful and useless. May Allāh protect us.
By the way, there was a man whose name was Hikmet (Wisdom). Mawlānā, may his maqām be exalted, used to call him wisdomless
Hikmet. It is not enough to be named Hikmet. He should match that wisdom.
In our days, many people they are... must be following order of Allāh, what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, to order with good thing, to prevent from bad thing, to do bad thing. This is order of Allāh and people they must do this. But these days there is group of people, they call them, like this ordering: "Wa-ya’murūna bi-l-ma‘rūfi wa-yanhawna ‘ani l-munkar" (3:104) – especially Wahhābī people they have people they pay for them to do this job. Normally, without paying, everybody what it is good you must order, what not good he must prevent or tell people this is not good. But these people they are doing opposite. They ordering not good thing and they are doing bad thing. What is this?
To not, first of all the worst thing to not respect Prophet, not respect Ṣaḥābah and Ahlu l- Bayt. They said, "This is people like us. If you respect you'll be mushrik, shirk." And these people we are... we don't have anything with them because they don't have mind, their head like rock. No need to speak too much for them. This is we are fed up from telling people about these people. Everybody they know them. No need to speak for them.
But we speak about people, they are claiming they are Ahlu s-Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah, respect Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Ṣaḥābah and Ahlu l-Bayt and also they try to tell people good thing and to tell them what they must do, what they not must do. But first thing, these people they must learn what they must say, they must learn wisdom. Wisdom not... Many people from these people they have PhD and other thing from knowledge of religion or honour from highest university in Islamic place. And they are, time by time, appearing and say something. They are even worse than Wahhābī, Salafī. Wahhābī, Salafī, every people they know these people so they're not even listening. If they see in some now in mobile have everything, when opening, "Oh this Wahhābī" – they quickly change. But these people they claiming they are Ahlu s-Sunnah. This is more dangerous than other.
What is this people saying? They are not looking for people they are not practicing. There are all around Islamic country, millions of people they are going without any aim, without any thing, without any hope, just running after dunyā. These people, this not important for these people. The important thing – people who are trying to become nearer for Allāh with nāfilah, with ‘ibādah, with nāfilah, with everything Prophet like. And hear, they hear Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he like and saying [to] people, "If you do this, you'll be rewarded like this." So these people they try, of... also they're not hundred percent doing this, they try. But these people... this one people we said, "One step front, one step behind." They're, "We do or not to do?" These people they encourage them to not do. "Don't pray nāfilah – Prophet he didn't say. Do, done – he didn't do this. Don't fast. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he also he didn't fast these days.
These days not important for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Holy days, nothing holy days, blessed days, blessed night, holy night." This is, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla even in Qur’ān, Allāh mentioned these days. "Wa-l-fajr, wa-layālin ‘ashr" (89:1-2). This most holy days, swore on this nights. But these people, they saying, "Prophet nights in Qur'ān Allāh didn't fast these days. Don't fast." Of course, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam if he fast it will be farḍ, obligatory for us to do. But this is nāfilah. With nāfilah, you can. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam you do nāfilah to get more nearer to Allāh, and if you are nearer to Allāh you be, your hand, Allāh with your hand, with your feet, with everything you'll be with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. [Ḥadīth Qudsī] This is what we try to do. And these people they're not looking everything.
Every time you find holy, blessed night or blessed day, they are saying, "This is Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam he didn't do this, he not..." But there is ḥadīth, many, many, many ḥadīth, true ḥadīth – they said weak ḥadīth – true ḥadīth, this ḥadīth for these days: "Who fast one day, like fasting one year. Who make Qiyāmu l-Layl, he's like one year Qiyāmu l- Layl." Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla accept and reward him. All this ḥadīth and these people, I don't know their intention. Pure intention or idiot intention? Because... or I don't know what is their intention, what
they benefit from this.
Maybe somebody, enemy of Islām, pay them to do this, to make people not worshiping, not you become more pure for Islām – to destroy Islām. This is what. And anything you think it is not good. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He give more reward for people they are not listening for these people. "Rijālun lā tulhīhim" (24:37)
