en a fly can't move its wings without Allah knowing it! Not even one leaf of a tree can move without Allah knowing it. So don't say anything! He is looking into the hearts of His servants and only He is giving His Divine Fermân, His order, that that nation is going to be there. Up to 1918 it was under the flag of the Ottomans. The Ottomans carried the flag of those Holy Lands, but after that they lost it. Until today troubles are never ending in that area. And now He appointed some others from His servants: "Wa ba´athnâ ´alayhim ´ibâdan lanâ ulî ba'sin shadîd" (1) Now He is sending a mighty nation or powerful states to give them control over the Middle East. And this is the beginning of Armageddon, which is going to end when Jesus Christ comes from Heavens onto earth. And before him Mahdî Ŕ´alayhi s-salâm Ŕ will appear, the one about whom the Prophet Ŕ peace be upon him Ŕ gave good tidings to his nation. This Armageddon is going on! O people, it is a reality that the treasures of the whole world are in the Middle East. And He is the only one that is granting the keys for that area to anyone from His servants. May Allah forgive me! And if you are asking to reach treasures you must ask for the treasurer. Find him and take from him, because Allah Almighty also granted a treasure for everyone. But if you are not running to find the key, you are going to be ma?rûm, deprived, finished! We are only saying something that we receive through our spirituality, which is connected with the heavenly headquarters of the spiritual world. And we are only speaking!
Allah knows what is true and what is wrong and only Allah Almighty knows who are the true ones and who are not, who is trustworthy or not! Only He knows and He is dealing with His servants as they are. May Allah forgive me and bless you! And everyone of those who ask for truth, accepting truth and accepting true ones, may reach the keys to their treasures Here and Hereafter. For the honour of the most honoured one in His Divine Presence, al-Fâtiha.

Sohbet-268 Be thankful!
Suhba by Mawlana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqânî
A´udhu bi-llahi mina sh-shaytani r-rajim, Bismillahi r-Rahmâni r-Rahîm
Allahumma ahsin âqibatanâ fî umûrina kulliha!
May Allah give us a good end. It would be a pity and misfortune to find a bad end after a good life. People live in enjoyment and then there comes the bad awakening Ŕ then what remains from their amusements?
O Allah, may You make all our affairs and our end good, so that we can leave this world in happiness. We have to pray for that.
We get inspirations from the Holy Qur'ân. Allah Almighty says inthere: '...qalîlan mâ tashkurûn...'
Few are those who are thankful. And Allah gave us everything Ŕ vision and hearing, a soul and a heart to understand, and He didn't give this to other creatures. So big favours, gifts, but man is complaining and doesn't give thanks, doesn't say: ,Shukr, ya Rabbi!'
"O My servants", Allah says, "you are not thankful to Me, except for a few of you. Most of you are making kufr and are not thankful, but greedy. What would you do if I created you to be an insect or a donkey? Or a rat in the canalisation? Are you
not happy that you have been created as a man? What more do you want? Say, and I shall give to you."
What would you do if you had been created blind? For the sense of vision we owe Him thanks, shukr, day and night. Allah says, "I gave you a soul, a heart, and everything is in it Ŕ what else do you want?"
And they bring so many children to me that have a hole in the heart and it needs to be sawn...How you are not grateful? But people are only human from outlooking, inside they are like wild beasts.
Therefore all this balâ is coming on them. People deny Allah, they don't want to know about Him, they disrespect His orders and play with His favours. And they think there is no one to register all what they are doing. Wait for Bayram, the Eid celebration, wait for Christmas and the New Year of the Christians! Next year all misfortune will come on people. For what they are fighting? Allah asks, "Have I not given you everything? What is missing?" So you will educate each other: one will fight the other. What is happening in Afghanistan is only a small thing- after billions of people will die in the storm that is coming...That is the Divine Anger. And Allah will send hunger on people and thirst. There were nations before that were searching on the cemetery for flesh to eat...
Rahma is sent down from Heavens on people, but they send only bad behaviour back up. They try to turn people to the way of kufr, not to the way of shukr...
May Allah send us the Sâhibu z-Zamân... al-Fâtiha Sohbet-269 Suhba by Mawlânâ Sheikh Nâzim al-Haqqânî
ALLAH'S SUPPORT IS ENOUGH
Bismillahi r-Rahmâni r-Rahîm
If there was no Heavenly Support, everything would vanish. It is through Divine Support that you can stand up. Real Divine Support only comes to those who ask for the Lord's Pleasure. If you ask for the Lord's Pleasure, Heavenly Support will come to you. Others will do so many things, but it will all be useless in the end.
Everyday angels shout from Heavens, "O people, believe in your Lord and
live for the sake of death!" Everyone who is alive must die. What the angels are saying is like asking someone to build for the sake of destruction. Whoever lives only for the sake of this life, will die. They will be taken away. And whoever builds only for this life will be destroyed, because Allah Almighty will not support them. A person who puts one stone on top of the other without doing it for the sake of Allah, will never be supported.
We want to be for Allah, not for anyone else. If you intend to be for Allah, Allah will support you. You can do so many things Ŕ if you do them for the sake of Allah and his Holy Prophet, you will reach Heavenly Support. It could be a huge task which would be impossible to reach with ordinary means, but because Allah Almighty is supporting you, you will be able to do it. His support is more valuable than the support of all nations put together. If Allah Almighty supports you it is enough, even if all the others are against you, don't worry.
Do you think that the support of the Bank of England, America, Jerusalem or even the World Bank is better than the support of Allah Almighty? What do you think? Yes, you might believe in what I say, but practically you are still doing the opposite, you are still supporting credit cards of Banks to support you. You are not really asking for Heavenly Support.
All that is injuring faith and killing beliefs. They may seem to be simple things, but the effect is too heavy. You must practise what you know. But because people do not see gold falling down from the sky onto them, they do not understand that it is He who is supporting everything.
We must believe. Religions were made for people to learn how to believe. If you believe, you will win. If you don't believe, you will loose. Believe and improve! Believe and be victorious! Believe and come closer to your Lord's Divine Presence. You may ask yourself, "If I leave every other support in this life and just depend on Allah, how will it be?" Try it! If you don't have a job, work for Allah and look what will happen!
Once upon a time a poor man took his showel and axe and went to the market to find a job. They were so poor and had nothing in their homes. He sat down waiting for someone to call him to come and work. He waited and waited and waited. No-one came to call him and at the end of the day he was hopeless to find any job there, so he went to the mosque and said, "If no-one employs me today, I may work for Allah Almighty."
When he then returned to his home, his wife asked him, "O my husband, are you bringing anything for the children to eat?" He answered, "I just started to work for a very wealthy one and he told me to come again tomorrow because he has some more work." They were patient and managed to put the children to sleep even without food. It was difficult, but they were able to. So the next morning he went again for a while to the market, but again no-one offered him a job. So again he went to the mosque, took his abolution and went inside to pray. He said, "O my Lord, no-one is giving me a job, so I am here for your sake." He stayed there until evening and then, when reaching home, again
his wife was anxious to get some food for the children. "My dear wife," he told her, "today the same thing happened as yesterday!" Again the children had to go to bed without any food.
We are such heedless people. There are so many things happening in this world every day. You can't imagine! So many thing are happening to be lessons for us. We should be thankful to Allah Almighty that we are all finding something to eat, and even more than enough. Many people even pour it all out into dustbins. I knew people in Greece who during the second world war when there was hunger tried their best to find something in the dustbins. I was in Constantinopel and the daily ration for a family of 5 was a pound of bread. How can you live on that?
Coming back to our story: that person went the third day in a row to the market, found no job and again went to the mosque. During his prayers he said, "O my Lord, no-one is employing me, so I am coming to you. Accept my work!" When he in the evening went home, he put some fine sand into his handkerchief so that if anyone would ask what he is bringing, he could show that. He opened the door to his house and saw his wife and children in there, very happy. So he hid the handkerchief behind the door and then asked what had happened and from where the good-smelling food had come.
She said, "O my husband, just as you left, someone came, knocked the door and I opened. He was a strange person and he carried a covered plate and behind the door there were more things, all in gold. He told me that it was the payment for your job. I just took one of the golden coins and bought food with it, the donkey could hardly carry all the goods I brought from the market."
He thanked Allah Almighty and she asked him, "What is it that you brought with you?" So he started looking for it, saying that there was really no need to look at that now. He wanted to take it out, but it had become so heavy that he couldn't lift it. He looked inside Ŕ and it was also full with gold.
If you work for Allah, you will get too much money. Don't work for anyone else, Osman! Work for Allah, and he pays. Not in Dollar or Sterling, but in gold.
Be happy and keep your belief firmly. That is the level of certainty. For so many years I was never carryng money in my pocket or even touching it, and I was travelling. Wherever I needed something, someone would pay. Allah Almighty had prepared someone to serve me because Grandsheik had told me not to take money. Yes, we must try to reach that kind of certainty. It makes your life easy and happy. You will not be tired running after these wordly things. All treasures in the world and in Heavens belong to Him.

Sohbet-270 Being Fully Present
Suhba by Mawlana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim Our Grandshaykh was saying that if you like to take benefit from listening or attending a meeting, you must be present in body and heart. But so many people are just like empty jars, sitting. Divine Knowledges pour out when the heart is present. It means when listening with the ears of your heart it gives you Divine Powers. Our Grandshaykh said that if one person in a meeting is scratching his head, the one speaking must come down seven degrees. He may lose that Divine outpouring. But some people are speaking with each other, some watching the door to see who is coming and going, some looking at the clock, and the power is going down. Grandshaykh was always annoyed about this. If you are giving care, my heart is in his hands, and he is in relationship with the Prophet, and the Prophet is in the Divine Presence. Our Grandshaykh told of two mureeds in his homeland. One was in seclusion for spiritual practice. The second came one day by order of their shaykh to take the brother for a walk outside of the village. They were going on the road in conversation about important spiritual instructions when they reached to the fields of the one in seclusion. As they approached, his eyes wandered to those fields. The other said: "Oh my brother, turn back to your seclusion, you are leaving pearls and turning to fields.>" Our attention span is very short, Psychologists say, first fifteen minutes, keen attention, afterwards decreasing. Our Grandshaykh says, not to make any meeting more thar three hours, even though people may be strong and interested. As much as you can make it shorter, more benefit comes, especially in our time.

Sohbet-271 Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim
Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani was asked: What is an acceptable Islamic Government?
Answer: This is an important question for giving helpful answers to Muslims. Christians, believers, Jews and all mankind and human nature. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim It is a difficult question Ŕ not that the question is difficult, but the answer is, because it is so important and it must be well understood.
Islam and government Ŕ you said monarchy, democracy or theocracy, which of these does Islam accept? We must say firstly that Islam is independent, and does not need to follow any of these three. Islam has the original government system. Through the heavenly orders that the Lord sent down to his servants for them to be in the most perfect condition, individually and collectively, in their lives.
People may say there is monarchy in Islam, they may say there is democracy in Islam, they may say there is theocracy in Islam. Islam is above all of these three types of governing systems. Islam
accepts that one person should be in control of the nation. The whole nation should give him their trust, support and obedience. That must be.
The most important point of the Islamic governing system that power is in one hand, not power-sharing. When there are partners in power, there will be more problems.
As we see in those countries where groups are in power, there is quarrelling and fighting - no peace, no satisfaction, no rest. As long as those groups are not in peace, the nation will suffer the same problem.
Islam orders that power is kept in one hand. That is best. We may compare democracy and the Islamic system. Democracy. First, the rights of mankind (human rights). Human rights and freedom are defended and basically these are the mainstays of democracy, human rights and freedom. People don't take much interest in areas other than these two - human rights and freedom. Islam says, instead of human rights, (because Islam accepts the rights of people as a duty) fulfill your duty to obtain your rights. This is the very important Islamic wisdom. Pay duty to take rights. Without duties, there are no rights.
But democracy is giving rights without responsibilities. Islam is for justice. Democracy is for freedom. Democracy gives people freedom. Islam is asking justice for them, not freedom, not absolute freedom.
Democracy is giving absolute freedom - with human rights. Islam is giving, when duty is paid - rights and justice. That is the difference between the vision of Islamic democracy and Western democracy. Western people are only asking human rights without responsibility and asking for as much (freedom) as can be given. But Islam says, NO - you must pay for your rights.
If a student doesn't work for an exam, how will he pass the test? This is the perfect Islamic vision. European and Western democracy is imperfect and useless, terrible and dangerous for mankind. No future. They are preparing a rebellious people who are asking only for their rights without responsibility and without considering justice, asking only for freedom and rights, freedom and rights. Islam is saying no! Pay your duty, then take your rights. We are upholding your rights - human rights are available when you pay by your duty. Uphold justice - do not say freedom, I am free to do everything as I like, because you are not alone, single one - millions and billions of people surround you, you are not able to do as you like. NO !
This is a very important thing, which the world does not understand. It is the key for everything. If a person is on board a plane and says - Now I would like to make tea and I must make a fire, because I am free. Yes! - Would you allow him to do this and light a fire on
the plane? He is free. Why should you prevent this freedom?
Everywhere you can see what harm comes to people through freedom. Islam is saying no - pay duty, then take your rights, and when you take them, you too must be right for justice.
Justice is to uphold the rights of others in the same way as you would like for yourselves. If you do not do this, then you are not a just person. Islam says you must uphold justice, you can't be absolutely free. NO.
If you are harming people, we will catch you and put you in a cage for animals, like lions, tigers and wolves, not outside. This is the Islamic vision of democracy.
Western democracy dates from the time of the French revolution. They will celebrate the bicentennial 200th anniversary in 1989, celebrate a wrong revolution. All the democracy that the world is using is wrong from A-Z, useless, harmful, terrible dangerous.
European democracy is saying that without responsibilities you have rights. Where do they get that idea? From which book? Who said this foolish idea - without paying with responsibility to have rights.
Islam keeps power in one hand which is able to keep absolute justice. Then, the leader must look after the rights of those who pay duty Ŕ not paying no rights.
European democracy says that without duty you may take your rights. That is wrong.
The Islamic vision is the best system for all of mankind. Real democracy, but it is a theocracy. European democracy, no; but Islamic theocracy - that vision is best.
When the whole world says yes to this Islamic vision, they will be saved and will have reached absolute peace. Otherwise, they may quarrel, fight and eat one another, it doesn't matter. Without cooking, they will eat one another: English - German, German - French, Russian - German, Japan - China; they may eat one another without cooking.
They will never reach an end until they come to Islam. Islam is saying, "pay your duty and take your rights. No freedom without justice."
Freedom is only in the jungle - go there! When you live with people, uphold justice, because you are not alone. That is the Islamic vision.
Even in Islamic territories, they do not understand this, I am sorry to say. Never mind the Christian, Jewish and other peoples; even the Islamic world does not understand what I am saying or what the
Islamic vision for government is.
It is the best! Yes! In Islam, man needs man. This is the main rule. A king is in need of subjects and poor men are in need of rich men, rich men are in need of poor men, workers are in need of employers, employers are in need of employees, as head is in need of feet, and feet are in need of head. That is Islam.
We can't make feet head, or head feet or cut heads and leave only the feet, as communism did to people. They say, "no heads in our system, in communism no heads - everyone must be equal." That means, there must be feet, no heads, all of them feet. What is that?
If you are putting feet, workers are the government. What is that? How can workers be government? They are workers, labourers - how can labourers be the government? There is an eternal rule for Islam - put everyone in his suitable position: engineer is engineer, worker is worker, labourer is labourer, peasant is peasant, shepherd is shepherd, advocate is advocate, king is king, queen is queen, governor is governor, general is general, major is major, policeman is policeman, businessman is businessman. Therefore, there is no election in Islam. Election is BATIL, false. Perhaps people gather and ask for one feet - all feet request that foot must be head.
There is no election in Islam. In Islam, ability is first and then service. You give service and take rank, be able and go up. No election in Islam. Election is BATIL, false. Therefore, the whole world must be changed. No election, because election may take feet to be head, may take head to be feet.
Islam's relationship with other states is also important. As we said, we must keep good neighbours with other states, good relationships always. Then there would be a free economy, a liberal system, not put so many barriers for peoples movements. Good relationships and more tolerance with them, not trying to harm people. Keep respect for states, send ambassadors, accept ambassadors, make it easy for people to go and to come, not to make barriers. Easy dealing for Muslims. Travellers are free and respected and accepted. They must only look who is good and who is bad, so that no-one harms others. There must be good relationship among Islamic states and others. Governments must keep justice, no cruelty, never giving harm to anyone and preventing injustice.
Injustice and cruelty are prohibited in Islam. Everyone must obtain their rights. In Islam human rights are for everyone; only, in Islam a person may gain a right when he gives service. In Western societies a person may obtain rights without giving service. Islam is fighting that idea. Islam says, if you want rights, give a service and take your rights. You must earn your rights. there is no birthright to be doctor, engineer, MP or General. Do you think that anyone obtained such a position without earning? How can they say 'human rights', what are human rights?
We are born with human rights, breathing, eating and drinking. If we want more than this, so many rights - to have a right to be doctor, you must work, you must earn; if you say, as communists say, we must be equal and we must take from the rich to give to the poor. Why? How? What is that right?
Work, earn and take. Who is preventing you? Islam never prevents people from working, to be rich. Why would we prevent people form being rich? You must live and work, people must earn through their efforts, free opportunity for everyone. You may work, you may earn, you may even rise to live in palaces. If you are lazy and not working and living in huts and saying we must attack those people living in palaces. With which right? Is that a human right? They are riding Rolls-Royces and we are riding London buses and I am saying big man, big car. Why are you becoming angry? Under your command thousands of red buses, you can take each one, free.
No, they are saying, we also have rights to ride Rolls-Royce - earn and ride Rolly-Royce or any other big car. Islam never allows people to say no work. As long as this world is running, work isnever ending on earth. If they really want work, they may find it. Look, this is London, people are running to London for work. If the government allows them millions will come and work. But Londoners are saying, there is no work. What is that? If there is no work, how are those people coming? But pride makes people not work and secondly laziness makes them not work and thirdly because they are happy getting money freely from government. That makes people lazy. Islam refuses such a policy. Therefore, Islam says: first agriculture, then trading, then manufacturing - no need to ask employment from government. In Islam, there is no need for thousands of clerks, so many departments. It is very simple.
[From 'Lady Chadijas Questions'] Sohbet-272 Heavenly Support
By our Beloved Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim If Allah Almighty supports you, that is the best.If all people support you and Allah Almighty doesn't support you, what can they do for you? Nothing! We are foolish, mad, idiots.The whole of mankind is. They are leaving the heavenly support and want to get support from things. If heavens support you, that is perfection. Support from man to man and from nation to nation is in limits.Support from heavens is unlimited.
These cassette-recorders are all supported by batteries.When the battery finishes, they will not work.But if they were connected to electricity, it would never end. Whatever we give to each other will be in limits, it will get weaker and then it will finish. But if we ask for heavenly support, that is never ending.
Islam came 15 centuries ago. One person stood up and said,"O people! Say 'La ilaha illAllah Muhammadu r-Rasulullah.'"
People thought that he was working on a battery and that when his battery would finish, that would also finish. That was the Praised-one, Sayyidina Muhammad Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam. He went alone. No-one was with him of all creatures. But heavens, all of them, were with him. He called people to Islam, and he is still calling people,"Come and surrender!" But these idol-worshippers said,"No!"And the people of the 20th century are also saying,"No!" Whatever happened to the first ones will happen to the last-ones.
The idol-worshippers united and supported each other. They came like running rivers, like armies, saying, "We must stop him! What is that, who is that one? We must stop him!" They were all running against him, like rivers supporting each others.They were very proud people with their armoured armies. And Muhammad Ŕ peace be upon him Ŕ with his weak companions, without any armours, came together. The armoured armies came. One group was supported by earth, the other by heavens. When they were asking, "O our Lord please support us!" angels came and heavenly support reached them. The other armies could not harm them.
They just disappeared, vanished! That support of the armoured armies was useless. Such proud armies were finished face to face with haqq, with truth, in front of heavenly supported servants. They only called, "O our Lord! Look after your weak servants!" And their Lord ordered for them to be supported by the armies of angels and they were supported.
We never think of such points. They are mentioned in the Holy Books: in the Old Testament, the New Testament. We are told about the Heavenly Support, how the Lord of Heavens supported his Messengers. How the Almighty Allah supported His Prophets. How He supported his Saints, the Auliya. The Holy Qur'an is full of mentionings to the believers about the Heavenly Support. The Holy Qur'an is not a history book.No! It is a Heavenly Message to teach mankind, especially to believers, Muslims.It is to make you to believe. And to make you to ask for His Support, for the support of the Almighty Allah. Unbelievers are very proud with their technology, with their atomic bombs, with their nuclear weapons. They are so proud. And Muslims they are saying, "From where could we steal some atomic bombs? From Russia?" They say that so many nuclear warheads have been stolen from Russia. And who do they think have stolen them? The Muslims! As Muslims don't have any warheads officially, they must have been stolen by them! Either by Iran, or Iraq, or even Turkey! Because there were so many warheads in Central Asia, so one of those people must have them...That is what they think.
Yes, I am saying this, because we never had such terrible weapons in the hands of non-Muslims, calling themselves Christians, before. And
Allah Almighty is saying, "Above all we gave to Jesus Christ and his followers compassion." Allah says He gave them compassion! They are supposed to be people of compassion. Now look at those Christians! Where is their pity? They are blaming Muslims to be terrorists. We are a handful of terrorists, but they are complete terrorists, complete destroyers.
And our Muslims are not reciting the Holy Book, the Holy Qur'an. I go to the Central Mosque and I see people reciting the Holy Qur'an, but they don't understand what they are reciting.What is the Qur'an saying? They don't know. They just listen to their non-muslim friends and hear about their nuclear bombs. They are afraid of their armies and their armours. There are so many F's: F19, F18, F16- but that is an old kind - they want new ones.You are sleeping! Not reading newspapers! There are F40 and F50 now, they are hiding them, and the Muslims are trembling at what they should do if these bombs come. How can these Muslims fear earth-people? Why are they not asking support from their Lord? The Holy Qur'an tells them, than when the companions were in Badr, that a handful of people were saying, "O our Lord there is no other support for us, except your support.O our Lord! Send us support!" And with that, the angels came. If the Muslims would ask for support now, Allah Almighty would send one Jinn for each warhead to take it away. They will just blow on it and then within one hour all warheads will be taken away from their armour. But if you don't believe in Allah, how can you be Muslims? All Muslims are fearing nuclear-bombs!
Where are these Muslims? And who of them understands the Holy Qur'an? Who is reciting and understanding? How are we reading the Qur'an? The Qur'an is telling us, that angels came from heavens to earth. You cannot shoot angels! But angels can kill. And if you don't use angels, there are jinn, billions and trillions of jinn. The command over all these jinn is in the hands of one holy-person. He is commanding them. He can command them not only to take all the war- heads, but he can order

en a fly can't move its wings without Allah knowing it! Not even one leaf of a tree can move without Allah knowing it. So don't say anything! He is looking into the hearts of His servants and only He is giving His Divine Fermân, His order, that that nation is going to be there. Up to 1918 it was under the flag of the Ottomans. The Ottomans carried the flag of those Holy Lands, but after that they lost it. Until today troubles are never ending in that area. And now He appointed some others from His servants: "Wa ba´athnâ ´alayhim ´ibâdan lanâ ulî ba'sin shadîd" (1) Now He is sending a mighty nation or powerful states to give them control over the Middle East. And this is the beginning of Armageddon, which is going to end when Jesus Christ comes from Heavens onto earth. And before him Mahdî Ŕ´alayhi s-salâm Ŕ will appear, the one about whom the Prophet Ŕ peace be upon him Ŕ gave good tidings to his nation. This Armageddon is going on! O people, it is a reality that the treasures of the whole world are in the Middle East. And He is the only one that is granting the keys for that area to anyone from His servants. May Allah forgive me! And if you are asking to reach treasures you must ask for the treasurer. Find him and take from him, because Allah Almighty also granted a treasure for everyone. But if you are not running to find the key, you are going to be ma?rûm, deprived, finished! We are only saying something that we receive through our spirituality, which is connected with the heavenly headquarters of the spiritual world. And we are only speaking!
Allah knows what is true and what is wrong and only Allah Almighty knows who are the true ones and who are not, who is trustworthy or not! Only He knows and He is dealing with His servants as they are. May Allah forgive me and bless you! And everyone of those who ask for truth, accepting truth and accepting true ones, may reach the keys to their treasures Here and Hereafter. For the honour of the most honoured one in His Divine Presence, al-Fâtiha.

Sohbet-268 Be thankful!
Suhba by Mawlana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqânî
A´udhu bi-llahi mina sh-shaytani r-rajim, Bismillahi r-Rahmâni r-Rahîm
Allahumma ahsin âqibatanâ fî umûrina kulliha!
May Allah give us a good end. It would be a pity and misfortune to find a bad end after a good life. People live in enjoyment and then there comes the bad awakening Ŕ then what remains from their amusements?
O Allah, may You make all our affairs and our end good, so that we can leave this world in happiness. We have to pray for that.
We get inspirations from the Holy Qur'ân. Allah Almighty says inthere: '...qalîlan mâ tashkurûn...'
Few are those who are thankful. And Allah gave us everything Ŕ vision and hearing, a soul and a heart to understand, and He didn't give this to other creatures. So big favours, gifts, but man is complaining and doesn't give thanks, doesn't say: ,Shukr, ya Rabbi!'
"O My servants", Allah says, "you are not thankful to Me, except for a few of you. Most of you are making kufr and are not thankful, but greedy. What would you do if I created you to be an insect or a donkey? Or a rat in the canalisation? Are you
not happy that you have been created as a man? What more do you want? Say, and I shall give to you."
What would you do if you had been created blind? For the sense of vision we owe Him thanks, shukr, day and night. Allah says, "I gave you a soul, a heart, and everything is in it Ŕ what else do you want?"
And they bring so many children to me that have a hole in the heart and it needs to be sawn...How you are not grateful? But people are only human from outlooking, inside they are like wild beasts.
Therefore all this balâ is coming on them. People deny Allah, they don't want to know about Him, they disrespect His orders and play with His favours. And they think there is no one to register all what they are doing. Wait for Bayram, the Eid celebration, wait for Christmas and the New Year of the Christians! Next year all misfortune will come on people. For what they are fighting? Allah asks, "Have I not given you everything? What is missing?" So you will educate each other: one will fight the other. What is happening in Afghanistan is only a small thing- after billions of people will die in the storm that is coming...That is the Divine Anger. And Allah will send hunger on people and thirst. There were nations before that were searching on the cemetery for flesh to eat...
Rahma is sent down from Heavens on people, but they send only bad behaviour back up. They try to turn people to the way of kufr, not to the way of shukr...
May Allah send us the Sâhibu z-Zamân... al-Fâtiha Sohbet-269 Suhba by Mawlânâ Sheikh Nâzim al-Haqqânî
ALLAH'S SUPPORT IS ENOUGH
Bismillahi r-Rahmâni r-Rahîm
If there was no Heavenly Support, everything would vanish. It is through Divine Support that you can stand up. Real Divine Support only comes to those who ask for the Lord's Pleasure. If you ask for the Lord's Pleasure, Heavenly Support will come to you. Others will do so many things, but it will all be useless in the end.
Everyday angels shout from Heavens, "O people, believe in your Lord and
live for the sake of death!" Everyone who is alive must die. What the angels are saying is like asking someone to build for the sake of destruction. Whoever lives only for the sake of this life, will die. They will be taken away. And whoever builds only for this life will be destroyed, because Allah Almighty will not support them. A person who puts one stone on top of the other without doing it for the sake of Allah, will never be supported.
We want to be for Allah, not for anyone else. If you intend to be for Allah, Allah will support you. You can do so many things Ŕ if you do them for the sake of Allah and his Holy Prophet, you will reach Heavenly Support. It could be a huge task which would be impossible to reach with ordinary means, but because Allah Almighty is supporting you, you will be able to do it. His support is more valuable than the support of all nations put together. If Allah Almighty supports you it is enough, even if all the others are against you, don't worry.
Do you think that the support of the Bank of England, America, Jerusalem or even the World Bank is better than the support of Allah Almighty? What do you think? Yes, you might believe in what I say, but practically you are still doing the opposite, you are still supporting credit cards of Banks to support you. You are not really asking for Heavenly Support.
All that is injuring faith and killing beliefs. They may seem to be simple things, but the effect is too heavy. You must practise what you know. But because people do not see gold falling down from the sky onto them, they do not understand that it is He who is supporting everything.
We must believe. Religions were made for people to learn how to believe. If you believe, you will win. If you don't believe, you will loose. Believe and improve! Believe and be victorious! Believe and come closer to your Lord's Divine Presence. You may ask yourself, "If I leave every other support in this life and just depend on Allah, how will it be?" Try it! If you don't have a job, work for Allah and look what will happen!
Once upon a time a poor man took his showel and axe and went to the market to find a job. They were so poor and had nothing in their homes. He sat down waiting for someone to call him to come and work. He waited and waited and waited. No-one came to call him and at the end of the day he was hopeless to find any job there, so he went to the mosque and said, "If no-one employs me today, I may work for Allah Almighty."
When he then returned to his home, his wife asked him, "O my husband, are you bringing anything for the children to eat?" He answered, "I just started to work for a very wealthy one and he told me to come again tomorrow because he has some more work." They were patient and managed to put the children to sleep even without food. It was difficult, but they were able to. So the next morning he went again for a while to the market, but again no-one offered him a job. So again he went to the mosque, took his abolution and went inside to pray. He said, "O my Lord, no-one is giving me a job, so I am here for your sake." He stayed there until evening and then, when reaching home, again
his wife was anxious to get some food for the children. "My dear wife," he told her, "today the same thing happened as yesterday!" Again the children had to go to bed without any food.
We are such heedless people. There are so many things happening in this world every day. You can't imagine! So many thing are happening to be lessons for us. We should be thankful to Allah Almighty that we are all finding something to eat, and even more than enough. Many people even pour it all out into dustbins. I knew people in Greece who during the second world war when there was hunger tried their best to find something in the dustbins. I was in Constantinopel and the daily ration for a family of 5 was a pound of bread. How can you live on that?
Coming back to our story: that person went the third day in a row to the market, found no job and again went to the mosque. During his prayers he said, "O my Lord, no-one is employing me, so I am coming to you. Accept my work!" When he in the evening went home, he put some fine sand into his handkerchief so that if anyone would ask what he is bringing, he could show that. He opened the door to his house and saw his wife and children in there, very happy. So he hid the handkerchief behind the door and then asked what had happened and from where the good-smelling food had come.
She said, "O my husband, just as you left, someone came, knocked the door and I opened. He was a strange person and he carried a covered plate and behind the door there were more things, all in gold. He told me that it was the payment for your job. I just took one of the golden coins and bought food with it, the donkey could hardly carry all the goods I brought from the market."
He thanked Allah Almighty and she asked him, "What is it that you brought with you?" So he started looking for it, saying that there was really no need to look at that now. He wanted to take it out, but it had become so heavy that he couldn't lift it. He looked inside Ŕ and it was also full with gold.
If you work for Allah, you will get too much money. Don't work for anyone else, Osman! Work for Allah, and he pays. Not in Dollar or Sterling, but in gold.
Be happy and keep your belief firmly. That is the level of certainty. For so many years I was never carryng money in my pocket or even touching it, and I was travelling. Wherever I needed something, someone would pay. Allah Almighty had prepared someone to serve me because Grandsheik had told me not to take money. Yes, we must try to reach that kind of certainty. It makes your life easy and happy. You will not be tired running after these wordly things. All treasures in the world and in Heavens belong to Him.

Sohbet-270 Being Fully Present
Suhba by Mawlana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim Our Grandshaykh was saying that if you like to take benefit from listening or attending a meeting, you must be present in body and heart. But so many people are just like empty jars, sitting. Divine Knowledges pour out when the heart is present. It means when listening with the ears of your heart it gives you Divine Powers. Our Grandshaykh said that if one person in a meeting is scratching his head, the one speaking must come down seven degrees. He may lose that Divine outpouring. But some people are speaking with each other, some watching the door to see who is coming and going, some looking at the clock, and the power is going down. Grandshaykh was always annoyed about this. If you are giving care, my heart is in his hands, and he is in relationship with the Prophet, and the Prophet is in the Divine Presence. Our Grandshaykh told of two mureeds in his homeland. One was in seclusion for spiritual practice. The second came one day by order of their shaykh to take the brother for a walk outside of the village. They were going on the road in conversation about important spiritual instructions when they reached to the fields of the one in seclusion. As they approached, his eyes wandered to those fields. The other said: "Oh my brother, turn back to your seclusion, you are leaving pearls and turning to fields.>" Our attention span is very short, Psychologists say, first fifteen minutes, keen attention, afterwards decreasing. Our Grandshaykh says, not to make any meeting more thar three hours, even though people may be strong and interested. As much as you can make it shorter, more benefit comes, especially in our time.

Sohbet-271 Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim
Maulana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani was asked: What is an acceptable Islamic Government?
Answer: This is an important question for giving helpful answers to Muslims. Christians, believers, Jews and all mankind and human nature. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim It is a difficult question Ŕ not that the question is difficult, but the answer is, because it is so important and it must be well understood.
Islam and government Ŕ you said monarchy, democracy or theocracy, which of these does Islam accept? We must say firstly that Islam is independent, and does not need to follow any of these three. Islam has the original government system. Through the heavenly orders that the Lord sent down to his servants for them to be in the most perfect condition, individually and collectively, in their lives.
People may say there is monarchy in Islam, they may say there is democracy in Islam, they may say there is theocracy in Islam. Islam is above all of these three types of governing systems. Islam
accepts that one person should be in control of the nation. The whole nation should give him their trust, support and obedience. That must be.
The most important point of the Islamic governing system that power is in one hand, not power-sharing. When there are partners in power, there will be more problems.
As we see in those countries where groups are in power, there is quarrelling and fighting - no peace, no satisfaction, no rest. As long as those groups are not in peace, the nation will suffer the same problem.
Islam orders that power is kept in one hand. That is best. We may compare democracy and the Islamic system. Democracy. First, the rights of mankind (human rights). Human rights and freedom are defended and basically these are the mainstays of democracy, human rights and freedom. People don't take much interest in areas other than these two - human rights and freedom. Islam says, instead of human rights, (because Islam accepts the rights of people as a duty) fulfill your duty to obtain your rights. This is the very important Islamic wisdom. Pay duty to take rights. Without duties, there are no rights.
But democracy is giving rights without responsibilities. Islam is for justice. Democracy is for freedom. Democracy gives people freedom. Islam is asking justice for them, not freedom, not absolute freedom.
Democracy is giving absolute freedom - with human rights. Islam is giving, when duty is paid - rights and justice. That is the difference between the vision of Islamic democracy and Western democracy. Western people are only asking human rights without responsibility and asking for as much (freedom) as can be given. But Islam says, NO - you must pay for your rights.
If a student doesn't work for an exam, how will he pass the test? This is the perfect Islamic vision. European and Western democracy is imperfect and useless, terrible and dangerous for mankind. No future. They are preparing a rebellious people who are asking only for their rights without responsibility and without considering justice, asking only for freedom and rights, freedom and rights. Islam is saying no! Pay your duty, then take your rights. We are upholding your rights - human rights are available when you pay by your duty. Uphold justice - do not say freedom, I am free to do everything as I like, because you are not alone, single one - millions and billions of people surround you, you are not able to do as you like. NO !
This is a very important thing, which the world does not understand. It is the key for everything. If a person is on board a plane and says - Now I would like to make tea and I must make a fire, because I am free. Yes! - Would you allow him to do this and light a fire on
the plane? He is free. Why should you prevent this freedom?
Everywhere you can see what harm comes to people through freedom. Islam is saying no - pay duty, then take your rights, and when you take them, you too must be right for justice.
Justice is to uphold the rights of others in the same way as you would like for yourselves. If you do not do this, then you are not a just person. Islam says you must uphold justice, you can't be absolutely free. NO.
If you are harming people, we will catch you and put you in a cage for animals, like lions, tigers and wolves, not outside. This is the Islamic vision of democracy.
Western democracy dates from the time of the French revolution. They will celebrate the bicentennial 200th anniversary in 1989, celebrate a wrong revolution. All the democracy that the world is using is wrong from A-Z, useless, harmful, terrible dangerous.
European democracy is saying that without responsibilities you have rights. Where do they get that idea? From which book? Who said this foolish idea - without paying with responsibility to have rights.
Islam keeps power in one hand which is able to keep absolute justice. Then, the leader must look after the rights of those who pay duty Ŕ not paying no rights.
European democracy says that without duty you may take your rights. That is wrong.
The Islamic vision is the best system for all of mankind. Real democracy, but it is a theocracy. European democracy, no; but Islamic theocracy - that vision is best.
When the whole world says yes to this Islamic vision, they will be saved and will have reached absolute peace. Otherwise, they may quarrel, fight and eat one another, it doesn't matter. Without cooking, they will eat one another: English - German, German - French, Russian - German, Japan - China; they may eat one another without cooking.
They will never reach an end until they come to Islam. Islam is saying, "pay your duty and take your rights. No freedom without justice."
Freedom is only in the jungle - go there! When you live with people, uphold justice, because you are not alone. That is the Islamic vision.
Even in Islamic territories, they do not understand this, I am sorry to say. Never mind the Christian, Jewish and other peoples; even the Islamic world does not understand what I am saying or what the
Islamic vision for government is.
It is the best! Yes! In Islam, man needs man. This is the main rule. A king is in need of subjects and poor men are in need of rich men, rich men are in need of poor men, workers are in need of employers, employers are in need of employees, as head is in need of feet, and feet are in need of head. That is Islam.
We can't make feet head, or head feet or cut heads and leave only the feet, as communism did to people. They say, "no heads in our system, in communism no heads - everyone must be equal." That means, there must be feet, no heads, all of them feet. What is that?
If you are putting feet, workers are the government. What is that? How can workers be government? They are workers, labourers - how can labourers be the government? There is an eternal rule for Islam - put everyone in his suitable position: engineer is engineer, worker is worker, labourer is labourer, peasant is peasant, shepherd is shepherd, advocate is advocate, king is king, queen is queen, governor is governor, general is general, major is major, policeman is policeman, businessman is businessman. Therefore, there is no election in Islam. Election is BATIL, false. Perhaps people gather and ask for one feet - all feet request that foot must be head.
There is no election in Islam. In Islam, ability is first and then service. You give service and take rank, be able and go up. No election in Islam. Election is BATIL, false. Therefore, the whole world must be changed. No election, because election may take feet to be head, may take head to be feet.
Islam's relationship with other states is also important. As we said, we must keep good neighbours with other states, good relationships always. Then there would be a free economy, a liberal system, not put so many barriers for peoples movements. Good relationships and more tolerance with them, not trying to harm people. Keep respect for states, send ambassadors, accept ambassadors, make it easy for people to go and to come, not to make barriers. Easy dealing for Muslims. Travellers are free and respected and accepted. They must only look who is good and who is bad, so that no-one harms others. There must be good relationship among Islamic states and others. Governments must keep justice, no cruelty, never giving harm to anyone and preventing injustice.
Injustice and cruelty are prohibited in Islam. Everyone must obtain their rights. In Islam human rights are for everyone; only, in Islam a person may gain a right when he gives service. In Western societies a person may obtain rights without giving service. Islam is fighting that idea. Islam says, if you want rights, give a service and take your rights. You must earn your rights. there is no birthright to be doctor, engineer, MP or General. Do you think that anyone obtained such a position without earning? How can they say 'human rights', what are human rights?
We are born with human rights, breathing, eating and drinking. If we want more than this, so many rights - to have a right to be doctor, you must work, you must earn; if you say, as communists say, we must be equal and we must take from the rich to give to the poor. Why? How? What is that right?
Work, earn and take. Who is preventing you? Islam never prevents people from working, to be rich. Why would we prevent people form being rich? You must live and work, people must earn through their efforts, free opportunity for everyone. You may work, you may earn, you may even rise to live in palaces. If you are lazy and not working and living in huts and saying we must attack those people living in palaces. With which right? Is that a human right? They are riding Rolls-Royces and we are riding London buses and I am saying big man, big car. Why are you becoming angry? Under your command thousands of red buses, you can take each one, free.
No, they are saying, we also have rights to ride Rolls-Royce - earn and ride Rolly-Royce or any other big car. Islam never allows people to say no work. As long as this world is running, work isnever ending on earth. If they really want work, they may find it. Look, this is London, people are running to London for work. If the government allows them millions will come and work. But Londoners are saying, there is no work. What is that? If there is no work, how are those people coming? But pride makes people not work and secondly laziness makes them not work and thirdly because they are happy getting money freely from government. That makes people lazy. Islam refuses such a policy. Therefore, Islam says: first agriculture, then trading, then manufacturing - no need to ask employment from government. In Islam, there is no need for thousands of clerks, so many departments. It is very simple.
[From 'Lady Chadijas Questions'] Sohbet-272 Heavenly Support
By our Beloved Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim If Allah Almighty supports you, that is the best.If all people support you and Allah Almighty doesn't support you, what can they do for you? Nothing! We are foolish, mad, idiots.The whole of mankind is. They are leaving the heavenly support and want to get support from things. If heavens support you, that is perfection. Support from man to man and from nation to nation is in limits.Support from heavens is unlimited.
These cassette-recorders are all supported by batteries.When the battery finishes, they will not work.But if they were connected to electricity, it would never end. Whatever we give to each other will be in limits, it will get weaker and then it will finish. But if we ask for heavenly support, that is never ending.
Islam came 15 centuries ago. One person stood up and said,"O people! Say 'La ilaha illAllah Muhammadu r-Rasulullah.'"
People thought that he was working on a battery and that when his battery would finish, that would also finish. That was the Praised-one, Sayyidina Muhammad Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam. He went alone. No-one was with him of all creatures. But heavens, all of them, were with him. He called people to Islam, and he is still calling people,"Come and surrender!" But these idol-worshippers said,"No!"And the people of the 20th century are also saying,"No!" Whatever happened to the first ones will happen to the last-ones.
The idol-worshippers united and supported each other. They came like running rivers, like armies, saying, "We must stop him! What is that, who is that one? We must stop him!" They were all running against him, like rivers supporting each others.They were very proud people with their armoured armies. And Muhammad Ŕ peace be upon him Ŕ with his weak companions, without any armours, came together. The armoured armies came. One group was supported by earth, the other by heavens. When they were asking, "O our Lord please support us!" angels came and heavenly support reached them. The other armies could not harm them.
They just disappeared, vanished! That support of the armoured armies was useless. Such proud armies were finished face to face with haqq, with truth, in front of heavenly supported servants. They only called, "O our Lord! Look after your weak servants!" And their Lord ordered for them to be supported by the armies of angels and they were supported.
We never think of such points. They are mentioned in the Holy Books: in the Old Testament, the New Testament. We are told about the Heavenly Support, how the Lord of Heavens supported his Messengers. How the Almighty Allah supported His Prophets. How He supported his Saints, the Auliya. The Holy Qur'an is full of mentionings to the believers about the Heavenly Support. The Holy Qur'an is not a history book.No! It is a Heavenly Message to teach mankind, especially to believers, Muslims.It is to make you to believe. And to make you to ask for His Support, for the support of the Almighty Allah. Unbelievers are very proud with their technology, with their atomic bombs, with their nuclear weapons. They are so proud. And Muslims they are saying, "From where could we steal some atomic bombs? From Russia?" They say that so many nuclear warheads have been stolen from Russia. And who do they think have stolen them? The Muslims! As Muslims don't have any warheads officially, they must have been stolen by them! Either by Iran, or Iraq, or even Turkey! Because there were so many warheads in Central Asia, so one of those people must have them...That is what they think.
Yes, I am saying this, because we never had such terrible weapons in the hands of non-Muslims, calling themselves Christians, before. And
Allah Almighty is saying, "Above all we gave to Jesus Christ and his followers compassion." Allah says He gave them compassion! They are supposed to be people of compassion. Now look at those Christians! Where is their pity? They are blaming Muslims to be terrorists. We are a handful of terrorists, but they are complete terrorists, complete destroyers.
And our Muslims are not reciting the Holy Book, the Holy Qur'an. I go to the Central Mosque and I see people reciting the Holy Qur'an, but they don't understand what they are reciting.What is the Qur'an saying? They don't know. They just listen to their non-muslim friends and hear about their nuclear bombs. They are afraid of their armies and their armours. There are so many F's: F19, F18, F16- but that is an old kind - they want new ones.You are sleeping! Not reading newspapers! There are F40 and F50 now, they are hiding them, and the Muslims are trembling at what they should do if these bombs come. How can these Muslims fear earth-people? Why are they not asking support from their Lord? The Holy Qur'an tells them, than when the companions were in Badr, that a handful of people were saying, "O our Lord there is no other support for us, except your support.O our Lord! Send us support!" And with that, the angels came. If the Muslims would ask for support now, Allah Almighty would send one Jinn for each warhead to take it away. They will just blow on it and then within one hour all warheads will be taken away from their armour. But if you don't believe in Allah, how can you be Muslims? All Muslims are fearing nuclear-bombs!
Where are these Muslims? And who of them understands the Holy Qur'an? Who is reciting and understanding? How are we reading the Qur'an? The Qur'an is telling us, that angels came from heavens to earth. You cannot shoot angels! But angels can kill. And if you don't use angels, there are jinn, billions and trillions of jinn. The command over all these jinn is in the hands of one holy-person. He is commanding them. He can command them not only to take all the war- heads, but he can order
