147.THE SECRET OF SUCCESS Monday, 6 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says, “When you do something do it well.” Do not leave it unfinished. If you leave it unfinished, you won’t get benefit from that thing and you won’t be rewarded. When you enter a way, any kind of way, look into it thoroughly beforehand and keep it up. Be steadfast. The secret of success is steadfastness.
A Syrian student who was studying in Cyprus came to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim once. He kept asking, “This man has become rich. That man has become rich. How should I do it?” He was not good at school as well. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, may his station be high, said “Be steadfast. If you set your mind on something, be steadfast and keep it up. Eventually, it will turn out well for you.”
People nowadays run from one thing to another. They start a big business and leave it directly without keeping up. Nothing happens in a day. It requires patience and steadfastness to reach success. Everything nowadays has become simple for people. Everything has a remote control. Yet they hardly press on it. They want everything to happen by itself. There are so many tools to make it simple for you. Nevertheless, people [themselves] have to make everything work, in terms of religion and dunyā.
Steadfastness is important. It is something people cannot understand. They immediately say, “I don’t like it. I will get rid of it and get another
one”. They get married and say, “I don’t like her. I will leave her and find another one”. It is wrong. When you do so, the world gets messed up and it is hard to pull things together.
Allah created both the good and the bad for people. People themselves should make an effort and be steadfast in order to have a good result. It is not good to leave things unfinished. As our Holy Prophet said, “Whatever you do, do it well.” A person who is not steadfast does things incompletely and then asks, “Why didn’t I succeed? What is wrong with me?” You are jumping from one place to another. And then you say that it didn’t work out. Certainly, it won’t.
People in old times were more patient. Either Allah gave them more patience, or people nowadays are spoiled. They want everything to happen instantly. They don’t have patience and steadfastness. May Allah give us steadfastness on the way of Haqq insha’Allah.
No one should be steadfast on the bad way. It is not good to be steadfast on the bad way. We should be steadfast on the way of Haqq and the true way. A person who is steadfast on the bad way has no benefit. The benefit is in being steadfast on the way of Haqq and the good way; and that is more difficult. The prior is easier.
May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
148.NO THIRD OPTION Tuesday, 7 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says: ‘Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds? {103} [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.” {104}.’ “Let Me inform you of those who do the most harm by wasting their lives”, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. (Qur’ān 18:103- 104).
People who think that they are doing good deeds, while their deeds are useless and not good, they are the people who will have the biggest disappointment. Because they don’t believe in Allah. They don’t believe in the ‘Ayat of Allah. Therefore, everything they do has no benefit for them. How can it have benefit for others?
Most people nowadays are like this. They don’t have ‘iman. They don’t have belief in Allah. They want to do the things that their egos want. When you do what your ego wants, your ego will turn you into its toy and it will destroy you eventually. You will have wasted your life without earning anything. Your life will be gone.
They make death announcements which say that someone lost his life. Indeed, some people lose their lives. It is regarding faithless ones. And they sometimes write without thinking about someone with ‘iman that
he lost his life. He didn’t lose his life, he gained it. Those who lose their lives are people who don’t have ‘iman, those who don’t believe in Allah.
Everyone has a belief. But when a person doesn’t believe in Allah, his belief is useless. A person who believes in his ego has no benefit, only harm. There is no third option in it. Either there is ‘iman, or there is not. Otherwise, there is nothing in between.
But everyone has a belief, as we said. Some believe in Allah and some believe in shaytan. Ego is also shaytan. A person who believes in his ego and does what his ego wants lives in vain and loses his life eventually.
May Allah make us from those who gain their lives, not from those who lose their lives. Every minute is a treasure and a profit for us. We should not lose them. Everyone is looking for treasure, whereas they are wasting their lives in vain. The most valuable thing is our life because our breaths and days are numbered. Therefore, we shouldn’t lose them.
May Allah help us all. May Allah give us a good life here and hereafter so that we don’t live in vain InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
149.SAFAR UL-KHAYR Wednesday, 8 September 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.
Today is the last day of Muharram Insha Allah according to the calendar here. It may be tomorrow or yesterday in other places. But here, it is today. The month of Safar ul- Khayr comes after Muharram, the good month of Safar. The month of Safar is a bit heavy. And in order for it to be good, our Holy Prophet added al-Khayr, the good after Safar.
This month has a wisdom of Allah in it. In order to remember Allah, we should recite 3 times Shahadah and 70 times AstaghfiruLlah every day. We should increase our Sadaqah during this month, because Sadaqah prevents accidents and troubles and extends life.
It is said in a Hadith of our Holy Prophet that destiny can be changed for better only with Du’a and Sadaqah. Destiny is a secret in the sight of Allah. No need to try to uncover this secret and to argue about it. Our Holy Prophet says “Do not argue.” And he is showing us a good way. This way that is with Du’a and Sadaqah, and we will be in peace Insha Allah.
We should not forget to give Sadaqah whether it is Safar or any other month. It is best to give Sadaqah in money, to make a box and put money in it. To those who don’t have money, our Holy Prophet says that it is even Sadaqah to remove a stone, glass or any dirt aside from the way. Every good deed is Sadaqah. But you have to go out and about in order to do them.
So it is best to make a box at home and put money in it daily, and then give it to the poor. It can be any [amount of] money, this is not important. What’s important is to put Sadaqah in order to protect your children and yourself. Put more during this month. Don’t forget during other months as well. But this month is heavier. And with Sadaqah, there will be no heaviness. It will be good Insha Allah.
May our month of Safar be blessed. There are other Wazifah as well, and they have to be done later. But we should certainly do this one. There are ‘Ayat for protection and other Wazifah. Recite them as much as you can. But the most important are these two things: Sadaqah and Istighfar.
May Allah forgive us and show mercy to us Insha Allah. May Allah protect us. Insha Allah it will be good.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
150.EVERYTHING IS GOOD FOR BELIEVERS Thursday, 9 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah says, ‘To test you [as to] which of you is best in deed.’ (Qur’ān 67:02). Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created this world as a place of tests. “People will be tested. And We will see who will show patience and pass this test”, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
People think that they can change and improve this world. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created this world in such way to make it clear who is good and who is bad among people. To distinguish them, in order for the good ones to go to a good place and the bad ones to go to a bad place. It is the law and order of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. You cannot change it. You should make effort to do good things. When hardship comes, you should be patient and you will be rewarded.
Our Holy Prophet says that everything is good for believers. Easy things are good for them. And difficult things are good because they get rewarded for them. They don’t go in vain. Everything is a loss for unbelievers. They can have the whole world, there is no benefit in it. They can have all sufferings, there is no reward, no Thawab for these people. They are the people of shaytan, the friends of shaytan. This world is actually paradise for them. No matter how bad their condition is, it is still better than in ākhirah because they will go to hell in ākhirah. The suffering in hell is too big. And even the worst suffering in this world is like paradise for them.
That is why believers are in gain. Hardships are for their benefit. When Allah sends hardship, they get big rewards for being patient. When good things happen, believers make Shukr and get rewarded for them as well. They have to always remember this to realize how lucky they are. They should not go against Allah. They should not complain to Allah and complain about Allah. Therefore, believers must be patient with tests. When they are patient, tests will be over. If they are not patient, they will also fail.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not give us a test we cannot pass. May Allah protect us all Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
151.HAVE ALLAH IN YOUR HEART Friday, 10 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, ‘And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light.’ (Qur’ān 24:40).
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, when Allah doesn’t give light to people, they cannot have light. Light means value, the value that Allah gives to His servants. When there is ‘iman, there is light. When there is no ‘iman, there is no light. Someone can have the whole world, but without light he has no value. He is worthless. The valuable people are people with light. And people with light are those who are on the way of Allah, who love our Holy Prophet and who walk on the right path. They are valuable.
The rest have no value. They made themselves worthless by themselves. When they obey their egos, they have no value and no importance near Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. They only have value around those who are like them. People similar to each other have value among each other. And in the presence of Allah, they have no value. Nothing has value in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, only believers are valuable.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Neither My earth nor My sky could fit Me, but the heart of My Mu’min servant does.” How valuable is he! The rest don’t have Allah in their hearts. Their hearts are filled with dunyā, desire and sin. Any useless thing you can think of is in their hearts.
In order for light to be in the heart of a believer, there should be Allah in it. That light will always increase. It is a big favor. Mankind should know its value. They shouldn’t give importance to this world. And they shouldn’t give importance to worthless people.
Even if someone says that he saved the world, he doesn’t have any value. Those who value him are worthless people just like him. People who are not on the way of Allah have no value and no importance at all. They play around a bit in this world and then when they go to ākhirah, we will see how worthless and harmful they are. But there will be no benefit then.
They say, “We didn’t know”. Learn, if you didn’t know. “I am clever. I have read and written...” There is no one who doesn’t study now. From elementary school to university, they say that they are giving all kinds of knowledge. Whereas the knowledge they give is not real knowledge but for misleading people. If they leave people alone, they will at least be closer, they won’t be confused and they will have firm ‘iman. May Allah protect us.
What can we do? It is such a time now. Our duty is to warn because the things that people of the end of times think are valuable have no value. When you look in general, people think that they increase their value by doing certain things, whereas their actions lead them to become more worthless. May Allah protect us. May Allah let people see the truth so that their lives are not wasted. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are completed Qur’an Khatms, Ayat and Surahs, Tasbihat and Salawat. We dedicate them first of all to the soul of our Holy Prophet, to his Ahl ul-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Prophets, souls of Mashayikh, souls of all our ancestors, especially Mawlana Shaykh
Nazim, to the souls of all departed close ones. A woman named Fatma passed away yesterday. To her soul, for good things to come, for evil to be gone, for the intention to be protected; may our ‘iman be strong.
LiLlahi Ta’ala Al-Fatiha.
152.THE SYSTEM IS SETTLED Saturday, 11 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Allah says to our Holy Prophet: ‘Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.’ (Qur’ān 13:11).
Allah says that unless people change themselves, their situation will not change. People of the present time are living as they like. Religion and ‘iman are not considered at all. They do whatever their egos want. Then they want to be better and they want to change things with the hope of improving the situation.
Unless you change, the situation will not change. Because the teachings of this time do not teach goodness to people, they teach badness. How can you find goodness while teaching badness?
The same system is settled in the whole world. Wherever you go, they call it global, even if you are at one edge of the world and others are at another edge, people are cast in the same mold. “If we change the people above, the situation will change”. Let’s say you changed the people above, where do you come from? If the people below don’t change, it has no benefit. Because the mold is the same, they will be the same. When people below are like them, it won’t change at all.
The same system will go on and the same situation will last. Do the people below come from another place? It is the same everywhere in the
world. If they come from the moon or the sun, it could probably change. As long as they are the same, don’t even think about it.
We are all people who obey the ego now. People are only interested in their benefit. They go after fame, money and all the desires of the ego, not for the benefit of people. There are many people who promise to serve. But I don’t know, maybe it’s the new generation; they think that something will be done and it will change. Nothing will change. The system is settled. The system of the end of times is settled. Neither democracy can change it, nor can coup change it, nor any other system.
Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salam is the only one who can change this system. He is the one who will bring the system of Allah. Otherwise, it is the system of our ego, the system of our desires, the system of our shamelessness and the system of our badness. Don’t look for something else anywhere in the world.
Some people hope to benefit from new things. They will be handled too, don’t worry. There have been many such situations in the world.
After the Ottomans, we are living in the era of Jababirah now. We are in the era mentioned by our Holy Prophet. The era of Jababirah means the era of tyranny. Who shows tyranny? All of us; people above and below, all over the world. No one should put the blame on anyone for doing this and that. Our situation is like this. Unless we change, others will not change.
May Allah change our situation. May He send the Sahib to change it. We don’t have any other hope. There isn’t anyone else. Don’t hope that elections, coup or other things can change it. Make Dua that Allah sends the Sahib. Our situation will only change then. Even if there is the power of a hundred presidents, the situation won’t change at all. May Allah change our situation.
Don’t get upset about this situation. It is the time for it. There is a time for everything. When there is more distress, Allah will open it Insha
Allah. There is no salvation but with Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam. May Allah send him as soon as possible. And may we reach him in peace and health Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
153.EXCEPT IF ALLAH WILLS Tuesday, 12 October 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, ‘Wa Lā Taqūlanna Lishay’in ‘Innī Fā’ilun Dhālika Ghadāa {23} Illā ‘An Yashā’a Allāh’, ‘And never say of anything, “Indeed, I will do that tomorrow” {23} Except [when adding], “If Allah wills”.’ (Qur’ān 18:23- 24).
When you want to do something, do not say that you will do it tomorrow. You must say insha’Allah according to the principles and Adab of Islam. Insha’Allah means “If Allah wills”. Say, “I will do this tomorrow if Allah wills” because we never know what will happen then. You can be prepared as you much as you want, if Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla doesn’t want it, you cannot do anything. Therefore, it is from Adab. It is important to always remember Allah and to mention Allah, not to just say “I will do this and that.”
There is a beneficial example about it. There are Yajuj and Majuj who will appear in the end of times. Sayyidina Dhul-Qarnayn locked them up behind a mountain and stamped it with copper. They are imprisoned there. Otherwise, they were coming out, attacking and harming people. When Sayyidina Dhul-Qarnayn came to the people of that area, they said to him, “We are being harmed. What shall we do?” So he received an inspiration from Allah and locked them [Yajuj and Majuj] up between two mountains. Then, he melted copper and poured a stamp on it. As Yajuj and Majuj are strong, they are saying, “We will break it
apart and come out tomorrow”. They are trying to break it and when they are close to opening it, the night falls. They say, “Little is left. We will finish tomorrow”. They’ve been struggling like this since a hundred thousand years. Yet, they cannot come out. But when the time comes, Allah will give them inspiration. And when they say, “We will open it tomorrow insha’Allah”, it will break open then. They will come out to the world and destroy it.
There is still time for that. These events will take place after Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam comes. It is from the big signs of Qiyamah. The important point here is that when you say insha’Allah, your work goes well. When you don’t say it and claim to do something by yourself, “Go and do it”, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, always say, “I will go there today insha’Allah. I will do this at this time insha’Allah - if Allah wills”. Ask for Allah’s help, remember Him and put your will aside then.
We should know that we have no authority. May Allah always remind us of such things Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
154.OUR LIGHT FOR PARADISE Friday, 15 October 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.
As you know, this month is the month of birth of our Holy Prophet. And the day of his birth is approaching. You have come for his honour. May Allāh accept your visit (ziyārah) and your worship. May Allāh be pleased with you.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam – as Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is saying in Qur’ān, Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāha fa-ttabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh” (3:31). “If you love Allāh if you want Allāh, follow me,” says our Holy Prophet. “If you follow me – if you walk on my way, Allah will love you, and will forgive you. You will be worthy of His forgiveness.” This should be the biggest goal for Muslims, for all people – to walk on the way of our Holy Prophet, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Our duty is to do what he did as much as we can. When asked why we came to this world (dunyā), if someone answers, for dunyā – he is an idiot, because dunyā is temporary. No one can hold dunyā in his hands. “I came for ākhirah. I came to submit to Allāh, to be a servant of Allāh, to be from the ummah (community) of our Holy Prophet”. This is what you should say. This is our duty.
Drinking and eating, entertaining and having fun are not our goals and what we want in dunyā. What we want is the pleasure of Allāh, to be worthy of His forgiveness. It was not by our hands that we came to this
world. But what we do here is up to us.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, “Follow me. Do not follow devils and other things. Follow me so that you may do useful things. When you don't follow me, there is no benefit. Even if the whole world is yours, it can not benefit you.” All the kingdoms of the world, or whatever else you can think of – you can claim them all to be yours, but they will slip away. What lasts are charity and good deeds, and following our Holy Prophet.
Therefore, to walk on the way of our Holy Prophet must be something a Muslim should do, and always think about. If he thinks about it during his work, it won't hinder it. On the contrary, it will make it more blessed and beneficial. Otherwise, many people live in distress – moving around without thinking why they came here. And we make shukr to Allāh that we are from the ummah of our Holy Prophet. This is the biggest blessing. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Everyone from my ummah will enter paradise except the rebellious ones.” They asked, “Who are the rebellious ones?” Our Holy Prophet said, “Who listens to me, who accepts my word and my deeds will go to paradise. Who doesn't do this won't go to paradise. He will go to hell.” Therefore, our most important aim is to walk on the Holy Prophet's blessed way, on the way of happiness. That is the way of paradise. Other ways won't lead to paradise. They will lead to hell. This must be known.
Welcome. Alhamdulilah, you are coming here for holy month of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, for his birthday, Mīlād – Mawlidu n-Nabīy. Allāh reward you. Because this is what our aim in this life. For whole – every human being it must be aim to follow this way – happiness way, blessed way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is when if anybody ask, “Why... what are you doing in your life?” they said, many people, “We don't know what – for what we are here.” You are here for follow way of Prophet. If you see – you say this you be satisfied and not unhappy.
You must be happy because you know what is your aim. Some people they... when they don't know what they are doing, why they are here or there, they will be unhappy. Because no aim, nothing for them. Just living in this world, and life going quickly from their hand. Even they are – they thought they are coming here for enjoying, for drinking, eating, sleeping. They thought only for this. This not for human being. This for animal.
Animal, they eat, drink and become fat. After, they use for eating, or for riding, or for anything else – but not for benefit of themself, they are giving benefit for human being. But human being, they must give benefit for themself.
And to give this benefit – to have this benefit – they must accept their Creator. And what He is ordering, showing the way of happiness. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur’ān, for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam: “Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāha fa-ttabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh” (3:31). He say: “Say to them, 'If you are in love Allāh, you follow me. Follow my way, Allāh will love you and forgive you. And He is the most forgive one.”
This is in Qur’ān. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying for people – showing people way of happiness. If you do this, you will be happy. You know yourself. You feel yourself as a human being.
Other way – the people nowadays, they going... It was level of little bit higher than animal level. Last century they become to level of animal. Now they are going the... more down. Down from animal level, going for dirty animal. After they going to more dirty and dirty. They thought this their aim, and to be happy they must do this. They not know they must control themself and not doing this. What animal not doing even, they are doing.
They must for be high – to be like this, must follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because he is our light for Paradise. This is his ḥadīth also say: “All my ummah going for Paradise. Only who not accept –
what, he become against. Who – They said, who not accept? He said, Who obey me, He accept and all they can go for Paradise – for Jannah. And who coming against me, not accept what I bring, he is – will be in jahannam.” This is only two way in this life for people. They must accept the higher way, not the lowest way. And it will be for them, happiness for them.
And it is – everything you do, when you are knowing you are following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam – it is not difficult. Only shayṭān people – shayṭān and cheating people – showing our way it's difficult. “They doing this, they doing that.” No. We are living, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, with happiness, with no any complaining. Because everything we know Allāh happy with us , we are happy. If He not happy with us , we are not unhappy, we are miserable.
Allāh make us to be in this way, in strong path, Insha Allah. Allāh give hidāyah for other people also.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
155.WE MUST FOLLOW HIM Saturday, 16 October 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.
As it is the month of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, it is useful for us and for those who are listening, in shā’a Llāh, to tell about his beautiful attributes.
People want to imitate someone. Looking at this one and that one, people don't know whom to follow. However, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that our Holy Prophet is the one to follow.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "La-qad kāna lakum fī Rasūli Llāh uswatun ḥasanah" (33:21). Our Holy Prophet is the best path for you. Imitate him. Do whatever he does. This is the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla.
Whoever follows him, people who go after him, people who keep his sunnah, will reach perfection and the highest ranks among people and in the presence of Allāh.
Everything he did was perfect. The best, the most correct, the most beautiful in everything was what was done by our Holy Prophet. No one can do what our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam did. His beautiful manners and character were given by Allāh.
"Addabanī Rabbī fa-aḥsana ta’dībī." "Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla taught me adab," he says. He taught me the best. People need a good example.
And that is our Holy Prophet. By the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, we should emulate our Holy Prophet. Who emulates him will have a good and comfortable life in this world as well.
Comfort is not with money and fame – but with peace and beauty given by Allāh. In contrast, people with lots of money have neither beauty nor peace when they are not on the way of Allāh. Who are on the way of Allāh may have money but, as they are with Allāh and show respect to our Holy Prophet, it is much better for them because their actions will be for the pleasure of Allāh. They do not follow their worldly benefit, but rather whatever brings the pleasure of Allāh.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam has many attributes: loyalty, truthfulness, trustworthiness... Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says never to lie. Don't lie even as a joke. You can make a joke without lying. But to promise something and not to fulfill it... Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says if you promise something even to a child, you have to keep it. It is wrong to break it by thinking that children don't understand. There is a lot of wisdom in this.
If you promise a child to do something and don't keep your word, he will remember it by the wisdom of Allāh. He will think, "So this is what adults do. I should do the same." So he will do the same to another child, to two, five, or ten children. One after another, children do the same and the whole Ummah can be destroyed.
Every word of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is full of wisdom. They are not for nothing. The matter does not end when you cheat a child. It destroys everyone. And then they say, "This government is bad and people are bad." They look for faults in others when it is you who taught cheating and lying to your child in the beginning. You taught them how to break a promise and then you look for someone else to blame. These are from the beautiful things our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam teaches.
We should follow the tiniest, the smallest thing our Holy Prophet says.
It is important. It is for the betterment of the Ummah. The more you follow them, the more mercy and blessings will be given to you by Allāh.
We are, alhamdulilah, we are living in this month of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It's Rabī‘u l-Awwal and, in shā’a Llāh, every day we must mention his good manners, good things, is the best one in universe. This, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, that he is – he is the best one in universe . He is Ḥabību Llāh – Beloved one for Allāh. And we must imitate him. We must go the way of he was going, he show us. Because this days' people, they forget. They like everybody, they like to imitate someone. We cannot say example for other side who they are nowadays people imitate. It is you cannot, astaghfirullah, we ashamed to compare Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam with others.
But we must be following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam because it is order from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "La-qad kāna lakum fī Rasūli Llāh uswatun ḥasanah" (33:21). Allāh saying, the most example you must follow: Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You must follow him, you must imitate him, everything he, you can do, you must follow him. Because he is best in everything, in manner, in generosity, in nobility – everything. You cannot find any – noksan – imperfection.
You cannot say anything from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, from his ancestor – whole, Allāh keep them in special... place... special from people. Even only his line, father, grandfather, grandfather. For uncle, this not, not okay because what Allāh... Only his line. Even one of them [uncles] Allāh curse him when he is against Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allāh not joking. So, some people they said, "You cannot say this." We say because he was most harm for his nephew and he make, prevent many people from to be in happiness. They make them to die in kufr – unbeliever. So, this another time but...
But what is we'

147.THE SECRET OF SUCCESS Monday, 6 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says, “When you do something do it well.” Do not leave it unfinished. If you leave it unfinished, you won’t get benefit from that thing and you won’t be rewarded. When you enter a way, any kind of way, look into it thoroughly beforehand and keep it up. Be steadfast. The secret of success is steadfastness.
A Syrian student who was studying in Cyprus came to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim once. He kept asking, “This man has become rich. That man has become rich. How should I do it?” He was not good at school as well. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, may his station be high, said “Be steadfast. If you set your mind on something, be steadfast and keep it up. Eventually, it will turn out well for you.”
People nowadays run from one thing to another. They start a big business and leave it directly without keeping up. Nothing happens in a day. It requires patience and steadfastness to reach success. Everything nowadays has become simple for people. Everything has a remote control. Yet they hardly press on it. They want everything to happen by itself. There are so many tools to make it simple for you. Nevertheless, people [themselves] have to make everything work, in terms of religion and dunyā.
Steadfastness is important. It is something people cannot understand. They immediately say, “I don’t like it. I will get rid of it and get another
one”. They get married and say, “I don’t like her. I will leave her and find another one”. It is wrong. When you do so, the world gets messed up and it is hard to pull things together.
Allah created both the good and the bad for people. People themselves should make an effort and be steadfast in order to have a good result. It is not good to leave things unfinished. As our Holy Prophet said, “Whatever you do, do it well.” A person who is not steadfast does things incompletely and then asks, “Why didn’t I succeed? What is wrong with me?” You are jumping from one place to another. And then you say that it didn’t work out. Certainly, it won’t.
People in old times were more patient. Either Allah gave them more patience, or people nowadays are spoiled. They want everything to happen instantly. They don’t have patience and steadfastness. May Allah give us steadfastness on the way of Haqq insha’Allah.
No one should be steadfast on the bad way. It is not good to be steadfast on the bad way. We should be steadfast on the way of Haqq and the true way. A person who is steadfast on the bad way has no benefit. The benefit is in being steadfast on the way of Haqq and the good way; and that is more difficult. The prior is easier.
May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
148.NO THIRD OPTION Tuesday, 7 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says: ‘Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds? {103} [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.” {104}.’ “Let Me inform you of those who do the most harm by wasting their lives”, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. (Qur’ān 18:103- 104).
People who think that they are doing good deeds, while their deeds are useless and not good, they are the people who will have the biggest disappointment. Because they don’t believe in Allah. They don’t believe in the ‘Ayat of Allah. Therefore, everything they do has no benefit for them. How can it have benefit for others?
Most people nowadays are like this. They don’t have ‘iman. They don’t have belief in Allah. They want to do the things that their egos want. When you do what your ego wants, your ego will turn you into its toy and it will destroy you eventually. You will have wasted your life without earning anything. Your life will be gone.
They make death announcements which say that someone lost his life. Indeed, some people lose their lives. It is regarding faithless ones. And they sometimes write without thinking about someone with ‘iman that
he lost his life. He didn’t lose his life, he gained it. Those who lose their lives are people who don’t have ‘iman, those who don’t believe in Allah.
Everyone has a belief. But when a person doesn’t believe in Allah, his belief is useless. A person who believes in his ego has no benefit, only harm. There is no third option in it. Either there is ‘iman, or there is not. Otherwise, there is nothing in between.
But everyone has a belief, as we said. Some believe in Allah and some believe in shaytan. Ego is also shaytan. A person who believes in his ego and does what his ego wants lives in vain and loses his life eventually.
May Allah make us from those who gain their lives, not from those who lose their lives. Every minute is a treasure and a profit for us. We should not lose them. Everyone is looking for treasure, whereas they are wasting their lives in vain. The most valuable thing is our life because our breaths and days are numbered. Therefore, we shouldn’t lose them.
May Allah help us all. May Allah give us a good life here and hereafter so that we don’t live in vain InshaAllah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
149.SAFAR UL-KHAYR Wednesday, 8 September 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.
Today is the last day of Muharram Insha Allah according to the calendar here. It may be tomorrow or yesterday in other places. But here, it is today. The month of Safar ul- Khayr comes after Muharram, the good month of Safar. The month of Safar is a bit heavy. And in order for it to be good, our Holy Prophet added al-Khayr, the good after Safar.
This month has a wisdom of Allah in it. In order to remember Allah, we should recite 3 times Shahadah and 70 times AstaghfiruLlah every day. We should increase our Sadaqah during this month, because Sadaqah prevents accidents and troubles and extends life.
It is said in a Hadith of our Holy Prophet that destiny can be changed for better only with Du’a and Sadaqah. Destiny is a secret in the sight of Allah. No need to try to uncover this secret and to argue about it. Our Holy Prophet says “Do not argue.” And he is showing us a good way. This way that is with Du’a and Sadaqah, and we will be in peace Insha Allah.
We should not forget to give Sadaqah whether it is Safar or any other month. It is best to give Sadaqah in money, to make a box and put money in it. To those who don’t have money, our Holy Prophet says that it is even Sadaqah to remove a stone, glass or any dirt aside from the way. Every good deed is Sadaqah. But you have to go out and about in order to do them.
So it is best to make a box at home and put money in it daily, and then give it to the poor. It can be any [amount of] money, this is not important. What’s important is to put Sadaqah in order to protect your children and yourself. Put more during this month. Don’t forget during other months as well. But this month is heavier. And with Sadaqah, there will be no heaviness. It will be good Insha Allah.
May our month of Safar be blessed. There are other Wazifah as well, and they have to be done later. But we should certainly do this one. There are ‘Ayat for protection and other Wazifah. Recite them as much as you can. But the most important are these two things: Sadaqah and Istighfar.
May Allah forgive us and show mercy to us Insha Allah. May Allah protect us. Insha Allah it will be good.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
150.EVERYTHING IS GOOD FOR BELIEVERS Thursday, 9 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Allah says, ‘To test you [as to] which of you is best in deed.’ (Qur’ān 67:02). Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created this world as a place of tests. “People will be tested. And We will see who will show patience and pass this test”, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
People think that they can change and improve this world. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created this world in such way to make it clear who is good and who is bad among people. To distinguish them, in order for the good ones to go to a good place and the bad ones to go to a bad place. It is the law and order of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. You cannot change it. You should make effort to do good things. When hardship comes, you should be patient and you will be rewarded.
Our Holy Prophet says that everything is good for believers. Easy things are good for them. And difficult things are good because they get rewarded for them. They don’t go in vain. Everything is a loss for unbelievers. They can have the whole world, there is no benefit in it. They can have all sufferings, there is no reward, no Thawab for these people. They are the people of shaytan, the friends of shaytan. This world is actually paradise for them. No matter how bad their condition is, it is still better than in ākhirah because they will go to hell in ākhirah. The suffering in hell is too big. And even the worst suffering in this world is like paradise for them.
That is why believers are in gain. Hardships are for their benefit. When Allah sends hardship, they get big rewards for being patient. When good things happen, believers make Shukr and get rewarded for them as well. They have to always remember this to realize how lucky they are. They should not go against Allah. They should not complain to Allah and complain about Allah. Therefore, believers must be patient with tests. When they are patient, tests will be over. If they are not patient, they will also fail.
May Allah protect us. May Allah not give us a test we cannot pass. May Allah protect us all Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
151.HAVE ALLAH IN YOUR HEART Friday, 10 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, ‘And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light.’ (Qur’ān 24:40).
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, when Allah doesn’t give light to people, they cannot have light. Light means value, the value that Allah gives to His servants. When there is ‘iman, there is light. When there is no ‘iman, there is no light. Someone can have the whole world, but without light he has no value. He is worthless. The valuable people are people with light. And people with light are those who are on the way of Allah, who love our Holy Prophet and who walk on the right path. They are valuable.
The rest have no value. They made themselves worthless by themselves. When they obey their egos, they have no value and no importance near Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. They only have value around those who are like them. People similar to each other have value among each other. And in the presence of Allah, they have no value. Nothing has value in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, only believers are valuable.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Neither My earth nor My sky could fit Me, but the heart of My Mu’min servant does.” How valuable is he! The rest don’t have Allah in their hearts. Their hearts are filled with dunyā, desire and sin. Any useless thing you can think of is in their hearts.
In order for light to be in the heart of a believer, there should be Allah in it. That light will always increase. It is a big favor. Mankind should know its value. They shouldn’t give importance to this world. And they shouldn’t give importance to worthless people.
Even if someone says that he saved the world, he doesn’t have any value. Those who value him are worthless people just like him. People who are not on the way of Allah have no value and no importance at all. They play around a bit in this world and then when they go to ākhirah, we will see how worthless and harmful they are. But there will be no benefit then.
They say, “We didn’t know”. Learn, if you didn’t know. “I am clever. I have read and written...” There is no one who doesn’t study now. From elementary school to university, they say that they are giving all kinds of knowledge. Whereas the knowledge they give is not real knowledge but for misleading people. If they leave people alone, they will at least be closer, they won’t be confused and they will have firm ‘iman. May Allah protect us.
What can we do? It is such a time now. Our duty is to warn because the things that people of the end of times think are valuable have no value. When you look in general, people think that they increase their value by doing certain things, whereas their actions lead them to become more worthless. May Allah protect us. May Allah let people see the truth so that their lives are not wasted. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
There are completed Qur’an Khatms, Ayat and Surahs, Tasbihat and Salawat. We dedicate them first of all to the soul of our Holy Prophet, to his Ahl ul-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Prophets, souls of Mashayikh, souls of all our ancestors, especially Mawlana Shaykh
Nazim, to the souls of all departed close ones. A woman named Fatma passed away yesterday. To her soul, for good things to come, for evil to be gone, for the intention to be protected; may our ‘iman be strong.
LiLlahi Ta’ala Al-Fatiha.
152.THE SYSTEM IS SETTLED Saturday, 11 September 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Allah says to our Holy Prophet: ‘Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.’ (Qur’ān 13:11).
Allah says that unless people change themselves, their situation will not change. People of the present time are living as they like. Religion and ‘iman are not considered at all. They do whatever their egos want. Then they want to be better and they want to change things with the hope of improving the situation.
Unless you change, the situation will not change. Because the teachings of this time do not teach goodness to people, they teach badness. How can you find goodness while teaching badness?
The same system is settled in the whole world. Wherever you go, they call it global, even if you are at one edge of the world and others are at another edge, people are cast in the same mold. “If we change the people above, the situation will change”. Let’s say you changed the people above, where do you come from? If the people below don’t change, it has no benefit. Because the mold is the same, they will be the same. When people below are like them, it won’t change at all.
The same system will go on and the same situation will last. Do the people below come from another place? It is the same everywhere in the
world. If they come from the moon or the sun, it could probably change. As long as they are the same, don’t even think about it.
We are all people who obey the ego now. People are only interested in their benefit. They go after fame, money and all the desires of the ego, not for the benefit of people. There are many people who promise to serve. But I don’t know, maybe it’s the new generation; they think that something will be done and it will change. Nothing will change. The system is settled. The system of the end of times is settled. Neither democracy can change it, nor can coup change it, nor any other system.
Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salam is the only one who can change this system. He is the one who will bring the system of Allah. Otherwise, it is the system of our ego, the system of our desires, the system of our shamelessness and the system of our badness. Don’t look for something else anywhere in the world.
Some people hope to benefit from new things. They will be handled too, don’t worry. There have been many such situations in the world.
After the Ottomans, we are living in the era of Jababirah now. We are in the era mentioned by our Holy Prophet. The era of Jababirah means the era of tyranny. Who shows tyranny? All of us; people above and below, all over the world. No one should put the blame on anyone for doing this and that. Our situation is like this. Unless we change, others will not change.
May Allah change our situation. May He send the Sahib to change it. We don’t have any other hope. There isn’t anyone else. Don’t hope that elections, coup or other things can change it. Make Dua that Allah sends the Sahib. Our situation will only change then. Even if there is the power of a hundred presidents, the situation won’t change at all. May Allah change our situation.
Don’t get upset about this situation. It is the time for it. There is a time for everything. When there is more distress, Allah will open it Insha
Allah. There is no salvation but with Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam. May Allah send him as soon as possible. And may we reach him in peace and health Insha Allah. Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
153.EXCEPT IF ALLAH WILLS Tuesday, 12 October 2021
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunas sohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya. Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, ‘Wa Lā Taqūlanna Lishay’in ‘Innī Fā’ilun Dhālika Ghadāa {23} Illā ‘An Yashā’a Allāh’, ‘And never say of anything, “Indeed, I will do that tomorrow” {23} Except [when adding], “If Allah wills”.’ (Qur’ān 18:23- 24).
When you want to do something, do not say that you will do it tomorrow. You must say insha’Allah according to the principles and Adab of Islam. Insha’Allah means “If Allah wills”. Say, “I will do this tomorrow if Allah wills” because we never know what will happen then. You can be prepared as you much as you want, if Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla doesn’t want it, you cannot do anything. Therefore, it is from Adab. It is important to always remember Allah and to mention Allah, not to just say “I will do this and that.”
There is a beneficial example about it. There are Yajuj and Majuj who will appear in the end of times. Sayyidina Dhul-Qarnayn locked them up behind a mountain and stamped it with copper. They are imprisoned there. Otherwise, they were coming out, attacking and harming people. When Sayyidina Dhul-Qarnayn came to the people of that area, they said to him, “We are being harmed. What shall we do?” So he received an inspiration from Allah and locked them [Yajuj and Majuj] up between two mountains. Then, he melted copper and poured a stamp on it. As Yajuj and Majuj are strong, they are saying, “We will break it
apart and come out tomorrow”. They are trying to break it and when they are close to opening it, the night falls. They say, “Little is left. We will finish tomorrow”. They’ve been struggling like this since a hundred thousand years. Yet, they cannot come out. But when the time comes, Allah will give them inspiration. And when they say, “We will open it tomorrow insha’Allah”, it will break open then. They will come out to the world and destroy it.
There is still time for that. These events will take place after Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam comes. It is from the big signs of Qiyamah. The important point here is that when you say insha’Allah, your work goes well. When you don’t say it and claim to do something by yourself, “Go and do it”, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, always say, “I will go there today insha’Allah. I will do this at this time insha’Allah - if Allah wills”. Ask for Allah’s help, remember Him and put your will aside then.
We should know that we have no authority. May Allah always remind us of such things Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
154.OUR LIGHT FOR PARADISE Friday, 15 October 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.
As you know, this month is the month of birth of our Holy Prophet. And the day of his birth is approaching. You have come for his honour. May Allāh accept your visit (ziyārah) and your worship. May Allāh be pleased with you.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam – as Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla is saying in Qur’ān, Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāha fa-ttabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh” (3:31). “If you love Allāh if you want Allāh, follow me,” says our Holy Prophet. “If you follow me – if you walk on my way, Allah will love you, and will forgive you. You will be worthy of His forgiveness.” This should be the biggest goal for Muslims, for all people – to walk on the way of our Holy Prophet, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Our duty is to do what he did as much as we can. When asked why we came to this world (dunyā), if someone answers, for dunyā – he is an idiot, because dunyā is temporary. No one can hold dunyā in his hands. “I came for ākhirah. I came to submit to Allāh, to be a servant of Allāh, to be from the ummah (community) of our Holy Prophet”. This is what you should say. This is our duty.
Drinking and eating, entertaining and having fun are not our goals and what we want in dunyā. What we want is the pleasure of Allāh, to be worthy of His forgiveness. It was not by our hands that we came to this
world. But what we do here is up to us.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, “Follow me. Do not follow devils and other things. Follow me so that you may do useful things. When you don't follow me, there is no benefit. Even if the whole world is yours, it can not benefit you.” All the kingdoms of the world, or whatever else you can think of – you can claim them all to be yours, but they will slip away. What lasts are charity and good deeds, and following our Holy Prophet.
Therefore, to walk on the way of our Holy Prophet must be something a Muslim should do, and always think about. If he thinks about it during his work, it won't hinder it. On the contrary, it will make it more blessed and beneficial. Otherwise, many people live in distress – moving around without thinking why they came here. And we make shukr to Allāh that we are from the ummah of our Holy Prophet. This is the biggest blessing. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Everyone from my ummah will enter paradise except the rebellious ones.” They asked, “Who are the rebellious ones?” Our Holy Prophet said, “Who listens to me, who accepts my word and my deeds will go to paradise. Who doesn't do this won't go to paradise. He will go to hell.” Therefore, our most important aim is to walk on the Holy Prophet's blessed way, on the way of happiness. That is the way of paradise. Other ways won't lead to paradise. They will lead to hell. This must be known.
Welcome. Alhamdulilah, you are coming here for holy month of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, for his birthday, Mīlād – Mawlidu n-Nabīy. Allāh reward you. Because this is what our aim in this life. For whole – every human being it must be aim to follow this way – happiness way, blessed way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is when if anybody ask, “Why... what are you doing in your life?” they said, many people, “We don't know what – for what we are here.” You are here for follow way of Prophet. If you see – you say this you be satisfied and not unhappy.
You must be happy because you know what is your aim. Some people they... when they don't know what they are doing, why they are here or there, they will be unhappy. Because no aim, nothing for them. Just living in this world, and life going quickly from their hand. Even they are – they thought they are coming here for enjoying, for drinking, eating, sleeping. They thought only for this. This not for human being. This for animal.
Animal, they eat, drink and become fat. After, they use for eating, or for riding, or for anything else – but not for benefit of themself, they are giving benefit for human being. But human being, they must give benefit for themself.
And to give this benefit – to have this benefit – they must accept their Creator. And what He is ordering, showing the way of happiness. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying in Qur’ān, for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam: “Qul in kuntum tuḥibbūna Llāha fa-ttabi‘ūnī yuḥbibkumu Llāh” (3:31). He say: “Say to them, 'If you are in love Allāh, you follow me. Follow my way, Allāh will love you and forgive you. And He is the most forgive one.”
This is in Qur’ān. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying for people – showing people way of happiness. If you do this, you will be happy. You know yourself. You feel yourself as a human being.
Other way – the people nowadays, they going... It was level of little bit higher than animal level. Last century they become to level of animal. Now they are going the... more down. Down from animal level, going for dirty animal. After they going to more dirty and dirty. They thought this their aim, and to be happy they must do this. They not know they must control themself and not doing this. What animal not doing even, they are doing.
They must for be high – to be like this, must follow Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because he is our light for Paradise. This is his ḥadīth also say: “All my ummah going for Paradise. Only who not accept –
what, he become against. Who – They said, who not accept? He said, Who obey me, He accept and all they can go for Paradise – for Jannah. And who coming against me, not accept what I bring, he is – will be in jahannam.” This is only two way in this life for people. They must accept the higher way, not the lowest way. And it will be for them, happiness for them.
And it is – everything you do, when you are knowing you are following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam – it is not difficult. Only shayṭān people – shayṭān and cheating people – showing our way it's difficult. “They doing this, they doing that.” No. We are living, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, with happiness, with no any complaining. Because everything we know Allāh happy with us , we are happy. If He not happy with us , we are not unhappy, we are miserable.
Allāh make us to be in this way, in strong path, Insha Allah. Allāh give hidāyah for other people also.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.
155.WE MUST FOLLOW HIM Saturday, 16 October 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.
As it is the month of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, it is useful for us and for those who are listening, in shā’a Llāh, to tell about his beautiful attributes.
People want to imitate someone. Looking at this one and that one, people don't know whom to follow. However, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that our Holy Prophet is the one to follow.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. "La-qad kāna lakum fī Rasūli Llāh uswatun ḥasanah" (33:21). Our Holy Prophet is the best path for you. Imitate him. Do whatever he does. This is the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla.
Whoever follows him, people who go after him, people who keep his sunnah, will reach perfection and the highest ranks among people and in the presence of Allāh.
Everything he did was perfect. The best, the most correct, the most beautiful in everything was what was done by our Holy Prophet. No one can do what our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam did. His beautiful manners and character were given by Allāh.
"Addabanī Rabbī fa-aḥsana ta’dībī." "Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla taught me adab," he says. He taught me the best. People need a good example.
And that is our Holy Prophet. By the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, we should emulate our Holy Prophet. Who emulates him will have a good and comfortable life in this world as well.
Comfort is not with money and fame – but with peace and beauty given by Allāh. In contrast, people with lots of money have neither beauty nor peace when they are not on the way of Allāh. Who are on the way of Allāh may have money but, as they are with Allāh and show respect to our Holy Prophet, it is much better for them because their actions will be for the pleasure of Allāh. They do not follow their worldly benefit, but rather whatever brings the pleasure of Allāh.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam has many attributes: loyalty, truthfulness, trustworthiness... Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says never to lie. Don't lie even as a joke. You can make a joke without lying. But to promise something and not to fulfill it... Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says if you promise something even to a child, you have to keep it. It is wrong to break it by thinking that children don't understand. There is a lot of wisdom in this.
If you promise a child to do something and don't keep your word, he will remember it by the wisdom of Allāh. He will think, "So this is what adults do. I should do the same." So he will do the same to another child, to two, five, or ten children. One after another, children do the same and the whole Ummah can be destroyed.
Every word of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is full of wisdom. They are not for nothing. The matter does not end when you cheat a child. It destroys everyone. And then they say, "This government is bad and people are bad." They look for faults in others when it is you who taught cheating and lying to your child in the beginning. You taught them how to break a promise and then you look for someone else to blame. These are from the beautiful things our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam teaches.
We should follow the tiniest, the smallest thing our Holy Prophet says.
It is important. It is for the betterment of the Ummah. The more you follow them, the more mercy and blessings will be given to you by Allāh.
We are, alhamdulilah, we are living in this month of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It's Rabī‘u l-Awwal and, in shā’a Llāh, every day we must mention his good manners, good things, is the best one in universe. This, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, that he is – he is the best one in universe . He is Ḥabību Llāh – Beloved one for Allāh. And we must imitate him. We must go the way of he was going, he show us. Because this days' people, they forget. They like everybody, they like to imitate someone. We cannot say example for other side who they are nowadays people imitate. It is you cannot, astaghfirullah, we ashamed to compare Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam with others.
But we must be following Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam because it is order from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "La-qad kāna lakum fī Rasūli Llāh uswatun ḥasanah" (33:21). Allāh saying, the most example you must follow: Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. You must follow him, you must imitate him, everything he, you can do, you must follow him. Because he is best in everything, in manner, in generosity, in nobility – everything. You cannot find any – noksan – imperfection.
You cannot say anything from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, from his ancestor – whole, Allāh keep them in special... place... special from people. Even only his line, father, grandfather, grandfather. For uncle, this not, not okay because what Allāh... Only his line. Even one of them [uncles] Allāh curse him when he is against Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Allāh not joking. So, some people they said, "You cannot say this." We say because he was most harm for his nephew and he make, prevent many people from to be in happiness. They make them to die in kufr – unbeliever. So, this another time but...
But what is we'
