130 ANSWERS FROM A SUFI MASTER
Shaykh Muhammed Nazim Adil al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani
* * * * * * *
A man came and asked the Shaykh: “Can you give me some advice for my spiritual practice?”
The Shaykh said: “Get married.”
The man said: “I am already married.”
The Shaykh replied: “Good, then you are complete”. [The Shaykh once said: “Marriage is the first step in tariqat (Sufi way) and is Halts of your faith.” (I fadith)}.
Someone asked: “How do I get power against shaytan?”’
The Shaykh answered: “Say, La hawla wa la guunvata tha biLtabil aliyal azim (There is no Rowe except by Allah the High and the ee 100 times.”
A visitor to the Shaykh asked: “How can we keep our minds pure?”
The Shaykh replied: With dhikr (remembrance of God). The heart is saying ‘Allah’, When each drop of blood passes through the heart it should say ‘Allah’, because the heart is saying ‘Allah’.
When it is saying this, that drop will go throughout i the whole body with the Name of Allah. Without dhikr i the heart cannot be purified,”
A man asked the Shaykh: “What do you want from me?”
The Shaykh answered: “Be with Allah, not with satanas, shaytan.”
The Shaykh then touched the man’s long beard and said: “This is good. Satanas doesn’t like it.”
Two girls who had just received their university diplomas asked for a blessing and some advice.
The Shaykh asked them: “What do you study?”
The girls answered: “Literature.”
The Shaykh asked one of them: “Let’s hear you recite a poem.”
The girl felt embarrassed so the Shaykh told the girl that he would recite a poem for her: “Get to know yourself, get to know yourself. If you don’t know yourself they will hit you on your neck...”
The Shaykh laughed and advised them to marry as quickly as possible, and to pray. “Whoever is not praying is in darkness,” he said.
On Saturday June 17, 2006 a group from Turkey arrived to ask the Shaykh for advice. :
The Shaykh said to them: “Unripe people come here. Those who come here don’t come as perfect, complete (kamil) ones. Therefore we must endure, be patient. The one who makes diiér (remembrance of God) comes closer to Allah. Also recite the Mawiid (a poem by Suleyman Chele}j celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (S.a.w,) Our aim is to serve humanity. Our meeting is for the pleasure of Allah and the Prophet (s.a.w.). Once a week or once a month, those who are connected should put their jobs aside and be present at their gathering,
Those who find no peace in this meeting are not able to find peace anywhere. And those who are not cured in this meeting are not able to find any cure even if “Lyugman Hakim” (the sage mentioned in the Qur’an, Luqman the Wise) were to come.”
The Shaykh then recited loudly the first sentence of the Mawfd-1 Sharif and said that when the Mawiid is chanted the spirituality of the Prophet (s.a.w,) is present. Without finding the Prophet (s.a.w.) nobody is able to reach Allah.“
“In every meeting recite the Mawiid’ he advised,”
A visitor asked: How can we protect the (spiritual) energy that we acquire?
The Shaykh replied: Close the holes! The external (zair) ones, and the internal (basin) ones.
A Turkish doctor whispered something in the ear of the Shaykh, which I could not hear,
The Shaykh said to him: “The strongest bond is the bond of love. The speed of a car, the speed of an airplane and the speed of a rocket are not the same. All of them have their own speeds. If there is no love it will be empty. If you do not have good actions, then you should have love. If there is no love, things will stay where they are.”
Some visitors asked: “We want our sk//as, our sincerity, to increase. What can we do to achieve this?” The Shaykh answered: “During every 24 hours, make your heart look to the Rawda-i sharif ( the Tomb of the Prophet, alayhi s-salam) for three minutes. Its [light] will come to you. [Mawlana makes his fingers like an arrow and points them at his heart.] Either the tomb of the Holy Prophet or the Ka‘aba - all the time it will come to you. Do this for three, five or ten minutes.”
One lady came to visit the Shaykh for the first kj She eaid: “‘T’ma Buddhist but I want to take bayay (s
initiation). Is that all right?” The Shaykh answered in an upset but firm way: “Ny How can you be a Buddhist and be in Islam/ tg rigap
Later on she asked the shia pesto again. The Shaykh repeated in a strong way: No!
Then the lady asked: “Why am I here then?”
The Shaykh answered, smiling: “To take fresh air, for tourism... to go here and there.”
The lady continued: “My mother has depression and I have a bad relationship with her. Do you have any advice for me?”
The Shaykh said: “She is with shaytan, not with Allah. That is why she is depressed.”
The lady said: “T am ill also. Can you cure me? I had a car accident.”
The Shaykh said: “Your body is all right. Your mind...” (The Shaykh made a small gesture with his
hand ea that et mind is not ele):
gst ttake be ‘bayat ees to come here?” , The en “If you say ‘La ilaha ill Alla, Sasuiutlal’. Do you accept ‘La ilaha ill Al
Then the Shaykh asked for his staff to give her bayat. [It was the custom of the Prophet (s.a.w.) to take allegiance from women by holding one end of a stick while they held the other end.|
"Allah Hn, Allah Hu, Allah Hu. | dagg...(a part of the bayat).”
The Shaykh said: God will ask: “My servant, pave you 24 hours. During these 24 hours, did you not find any time for praying? I gave you so many favours, have you been grateful?”
The Shaykh was giving advice to some visiting men: “When you come home take a bath and change all your clothes. You cant carry people’s heaviness. They make a
burden on you.
Change even this.” (The Shaykh points to his white prayer hat).
The Shaykh asked: “Do you pray?”
The guest said: “I try, but sometimes I miss it.”
The Shaykh responded: “Why are you alive? To pray to Allah. Pray! That is the way to protect yourself.
Shaytan is attacking... making you angry and aggressive, If no praying, no peace, no baraka (blessing), no paradise. Easy! We have been created for Allah’s servanthood.
We have been created to be servants of Allah.” The men tell the Shaykh about a woman who had
several miscarriages.

A lady said that some pregnant ladies were asking for permission to go to the doctor.
The Shaykh told her: “They should not go to the doctor. They should not take any medicine for normal sicknesses. The medicine that doctors are giving is not good.”
(Explanation of this advice from our present shaykh of the Nagshibandi tariqa, Shaykh Mehmet Adil:
* When Shaykh Efendi would tell pregnant women not to go to see doctors, he meant that they shouldn’t go unless there was real need to do so. He also would advise to take medicine in case of serious ailments, but not to go popping pills as if they were sweets.

Some people try to be on the good way, to reach to their real destination. They reach the angelic world. But mostly people run after their egos and the shaytanic way. One day we will be under the same flag - no wars, no envy, no hatred. Everyone is going to be like paradise people. That will be the time of Jesus Christ (as) and Sayyidna |-Mahdi (as),”

The girl said: “It is not a crime to get divorced.”
The Shaykh responded: “Yes, it is a crime! Either the man or the woman will be an oppressor. Whoever wants to destroy their family will be punished.”
Then the Shaykh made a dy’a and added: “Whoever is not going clean [to akhiral, will suffer a lot. A person should be subjected to a bastinado in order to prevent him from destroying his family. Most of them are the

The Shaykh was giving advice to some university students in Cyprus.
He said: “Get married as soon as possible. Now you are like a rosebud [meaning the tight age for marriage; when a rose is old then nobody wants it]. At this time nobody listens to advice, even if the Prophet (s.a.w.) himself came. Shaytan is saying: ‘Don’t get married’. They listen to that. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said to get married. They don’t listen to that. |

Why are you studying? What have you learned? I will ask you a question. (The Shaykh looks to the girl studying law). What will happen to a man if he marries three times and gets divorced two times? What is his punishment?”
The girl said: “It is not a crime to get divorced.”
The Shaykh responded: “Yes, it is a crime! Either the man or the woman will be an oppressor. Whoever wants to destroy their family will be punished.”
Then the Shaykh made a dy’a and added: “Whoever is not going clean [to akhiral, will suffer a lot. A person should be subjected to a bastinado in order to prevent him from destroying his family. Most of them are the
kind of creatures that either bite or kick.”
