so that their service is accepted and the responsibility won’t be on them. The responsibility is to go there and to protect people's rights, to serve and help people in different ways physically and spiritually. Whoever goes there, gets salary and says, “When I am right, I will escape from there, or I won't go. When I am wrong, I will stay quiet. I should get my salary and live on. I am famous enough to do these things”, he will be in big loss. He puts himself in big trouble. Because it is the biggest thing.
On the Day of Judgment, people who will have the hardest time are rulers. Rulers are those who are in the parliament now. In old times, there was one man. We don't want to talk about which one is better and which one is worse. There was just one man and he would reign. If he was right, he will be right. If he was wrong, he will be wrong together with his responsibility. On the day of judgment, this person has the worst position. And now it is these people. You made up a new law and oppress others. People put you there so that you end this oppression. You go there in order to be useful to people, but you don't do that. It is not an honor for you. It is not nice. It is a burden for you. And may Allāh ﷻ protect you, you will suffer from this burden in ākhirah.
Good people speak the truth. They are not afraid of anyone. Truth is truth. And you will have a pure conscience in front of
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Because of your actions, Allāh ﷻ will reward you and write Thawāb for you. And you will live with honor in this world. They won't say this person is capricious. Otherwise, you won't be useful in dunyā and you won't have any Thawāb in ākhirah. You will leave with sins. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Everyone is saying democracy now. Everyone thinks “I can become a member of the parliament. It is just an election. They formed new parties. They will take me in. I'll do so and so.” People are living in their imaginary world.
Therefore, the important thing is to serve, to be right and to be with the truth. If you are not with the truth, even if you become the ruler of whole world, it won't be worth a penny in ākhirah. But when you are with the truth and have nothing, you are in profit. May Allāh ﷻ help us inshā’Allāh. Inshā’Allāh may these people be with the truth as we said. Its benefit will be for themselves first of all. Because there is Barakah in everything in this country when with the truth. When there is no truth, there is no Barakah. They can strive as much as they want. May Allāh ﷻ help us. May Allāh ﷻ give them alertness. May they be with the truth inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Remember to Be with Him ﷻ (15.01.2022)
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says,
A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
(Qur’ān 13:28). “A-lā bi-dhikri llāhi taṭmainnu l-qulūb”, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” Hearts find peace and contentment only with the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People are looking for contentment and peace in this world. They are striving in order to make their hearts content. That is only with the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ. Hearts are content with Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ.
Now people are trying various things that you cannot imagine in order to make their hearts content, at rest and peaceful. They are trying to do various things. But it doesn't help. They make meditation and yoga. There are thousands of nonsense things like this and like that in this world. “If you make this, you will find peace.” Who has tried it and found contentment? If you ask so, there is no answer. When they do it, they claim that it works. It doesn't work. It absolutely doesn't work. Because they pay money and they suffer so much, they just lie to themselves that their hearts are content and at peace. It is not your heart. Only your ego can be at peace then. It has nothing to do with the heart.
The heart is different. The heart is the spirit. And the ego has no relation to spirituality. It should be trained. Its training is made with the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ, with the rememberance of Allāh ﷻ. Dhikr means to remember Allāh ﷻ. By saying "Allah Allah", people remember Allah ﷻ. At first, they remember with the tongue and say it. And then this Dhikr goes into heart. Otherwise, if you stand in front of an idol and try to do like him, you cannot attain anything. It will bring you more discomfort and disturbance. Many people have ruined their lives by imitating their idols in front of them. They have nothing.
People, especially Muslims should remember Allāh ﷻ. They should make Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ. What Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling us is that our Creator knows how it works, our Creator knows how our hearts function. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla tells what the creatures need. If you are a car, you need fuel. If the car works on diesel, you put diesel in it. Otherwise, if you put water in it without knowing, it won't have any use.
Therefore, the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ is a great favour to us. It is a great beauty. When you make it even with tasbīḥ every time, when you remember Allāh ﷻ so, it is Dhikr. When you say “Allah Allah” by heart, that gives contentment to your heart. And your works go well. You will be at peace. Allāh ﷻ is with you then. There is a Hadīth Qudsī, “أَنَا جَلِيسُ مَنْ ذَكَرَنِي”. “Ana jalīsu man dhakaranī.” “I am with that who remembers Me. I am his friend and I sit with him”, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Certainly, He is spaceless. It is to describe that Allāh ﷻ is with those who remember Him ﷻ. He is the greatest friend. And this is the greatest beauty. When Allāh ﷻ is with you, He ﷻ is not against you. May Allāh ﷻ make His Dhikr continuous in our hearts and in every atom of ours inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Islām Is the Nature of Humanity (12.01.2022)
There is a Turkish saying, “Water sleeps but enemies don't.” What we mean by enemies is that the enemies of Islām strive all the time in order to remove it. Since ’Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, during the times of all the Prophets they didn't want it. The enemies are the enemies of Allāh ﷻ. They see Islām as their greatest enemy. Therefore, we should be careful. We shouldn't be cheated by their tricks and games.
They are not only enemies of Islām but also enemies of humanity. Because Islām is the religion that orders people to do goodness and it shows the way for doing good things. It is the Fitrah and nature of people. They want to change it and are standing against it. They don't want anything from it. They cannot tolerate even a bit of it. But it is the religion of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ﷻ is protecting it. If Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla didn't protect it, they would have finished it a long time ago. Allāh ﷻ is the Owner of this religion. They are making war against Him ﷻ, but they are always defeated. Even if they look like winners, they are defeated. Because their efforts and the suffering they cause don't bring any success to them. They are failing. They think that they have luck in one place, but they fail in another place. This matter has been going on like this since a thousand years. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will make His religion victorious. This religion will show itself.
As we said, they are trying to change the human nature all over the world. They are destroying everything in attempts to control it. While trying to fix something... Even though their goal only seems to be fixing and they seem like they want to do goodness, their real goal is to destroy and ruin. They are striving to destroy all humanity. And people are destroyed. However, if Allāh ﷻ wants it, He ﷻ will replace them. Allāh ﷻ will forgive them and put new ones against them so that their efforts are wasted. Inshā’Allāh it will happen during our time. This beautiful time will come after now. The beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ will swipe away all the servants disliked by Allāh ﷻ who are against Him. And they will be thrown away from this world with the permission of Allāh ﷻ.
Therefore, do not be afraid of the enemies. The enemy is our ego that is inside us. We should take it under control and defeat it inshā’Allāh. When we do this, the enemies that are outside are nothing. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Time of Heavenly Help [11/01/2022]
“Allah Almighty says in the Quran the great that the promise of Allah ﷻ is true, and it will come. It will surely come. There are things that our Holy Prophet ﷺ told about in this world. All this happened as we approach the Day of Resurrection.
Some big events that will happen like the appearance of Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام and the departure of Jesus عليهم السلام are great signs. It's just too close. It has been promised. This is the word of God Almighty. And this is gonna happen. Jesus عليهم السلام in heaven. He will come down to earth and join our master al-Mahdi peace be upon him to destroy the antichrist and infidelity.
Some are now saying that Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام has appeared and Jesus عليهم السلام has returned Rohania. It's not the case. There will be no infidelity when Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام shows the truth. There are two types, or the most correct several types of people who claim to be Mahdi عليهم السلام. The real is yet to come. Fakes have appeared and they keep popping up. And there are a lot of lunatics who claim to be Mahdi. People laugh at them. But there are some fakes followed by some idiots. They are not idiots, they are deceivers. Because our Holy Prophet ﷺ, also promised that Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام will appear. They don't know his true self, when Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام appears, he won't collect money from anyone nor ask for help. Instead it will help everyone. He will make everyone follow him. If he would bring people together one by one through TV and newspapers, he wouldn't make the world Muslim in a million years. But in its time everything will happen superstitiously always with dignity.
The rest, as we said.. Sometimes we say it's okay just to laugh. But, whoever says he is Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام, as we said, should make sure his mind, or people should beware of him, because he is probably trying to harm people. There are big crowds. Even they claim their sheikhs are the Mahdi. If he is Mahdi عليهم السلام, then why didn't the injustice end? Hustle is everywhere. Nothing has changed. Islam has not spread all over the world
Meanwhile when Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام appears, everyone will become Muslim, and the whole world will become Muslim. It's the word of God the Almighty, the promise that the whole world will be Muslim. This is what Allah Almighty promised. It will happen with the appearance of Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام and Jesus عليهم السلام, Jesus عليهم السلام in the second heaven. It will surely come. "He came spiritually, he came so." No. He will be by our side and lead us. After Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام, he will judge. Islam will rule . He will lead as a person from the nation of our Holy Prophet ﷺ.
These things are going to happen. No doubt. This is the belief of the ways of the Sunnah people and the congregation. This is the right thing. Everything but this is not true. God has brought us to that time. May we be with him inshaAllah. These beautiful days are coming. The second era of happiness after our Holy Prophet ﷺ, will be in their time. It's near inshaAllah.
This world is in a corrupt state. The situation has been a religious mess before. But now it's clear from all sides. Back in the day, when people told people that someone died, they were affected. One hundred thousand people are dying right now, millions are dying and no one cares. The world is like this right now. The situation can't bear anymore inshaAllah. Hopefully it will be soon inshaAllah. May we not wait any longer in this darkness inshaAllah. And from God the best. Al-Fatiha.”

Know Who You Follow (10.01.2022)
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that whoever makes something up that is not in the religion and spreads it, the punishment for the mistakes and sins committed by everyone because of it will be on him. If there is one person, one punishment comes. If two persons follow it, the punishment for these two persons will come to him. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said so.
Because Bid‘ah means spreading bad things which are not in Islām for personal benefit or to make Fitnah. There are many people of such dajjāl type who want to mislead people from the right way. In the end of times, there will always be small dajjāls and cheaters before the big dajjāl appears. They will do things for their benefit. And people will perish by believing them. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Therefore, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says to beware. Don't follow such people or things that are not in the religion.
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, there are millions of scholars and Awliya brought up in the Islamic world. There are beautiful books and beautiful knowledge from all of them. But people of the present time... There were such people in old times too. There were people with bad intentions. But none of them have any importance anymore. Those who followed them went astray. Some of them left Islām and some of them left the way. But they are a lot in the present time. Those who follow them will perish. Some of them are fake scholars. Just like the fake scholars, there are fake Shaykhs. There are people who make the ḥalāl things ḥarām and the ḥarām things ḥalāl as they like. There are such people. But some of them are quickly forgotten, and some of them leave bad works.
People who follow those works are in loss but they go on like that. Those who follow them - Allāh ﷻ has given understanding. The way is clear, and the truth is clear. Those who follow them do so because their egos like it. You cannot go after something your ego likes. That is not the true way. The true way is clear. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from such people. Because people go to a Shaykh and he says, “I am Khalīfah. I am this. I am above that.” Many people claim so. Those who have weak willpower and strong egos follow them, and then they perish. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from their evil. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Prevention Is a Mercy (09.01.2022)
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, ‘وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ’, ‘Wa Qihimu As-Sayyi’āti Wa Man Taqī As-Sayyi’āti Yawma’idhin Faqad Raĥimtah’, ‘And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy.’ (Qur’ān 40:09).
Protect us from sins. When we are protected from sins, we are covered in the mercy of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Then, we don't commit sins, or we decrease our sins. Because people are sinners. Allāh ﷻ created them to commit sins. But some of them think that they were created only to commit sins. They try to do all kinds of evil and sins. Their egos want that. So they run after whatever their egos want. There are many people who run after sins day and night, without getting tired. This is the majority. Not minority, but the majority of people are like this. This is not good. This is bad for people.
Therefore, people commit sins, and they repent and ask forgiveness. When they know their sins, Allāh ﷻ forgives them and erases those sins. But if people persist on sinning, they should not think that they are benefitting from it. It brings nothing but harm. “I don't pray. I don't know Allāh ﷻ. I don't love the Prophet ﷺ. I drink alcohol. I run after women and commit adultery. I do all kinds of wrong things. How nice! I'm living the life.” They shouldn't think so. There is no benefit for them and no benefit for others. It is nothing but sin. For every sin someone commits, burden falls onto him and darkness covers him. He alienates from people. And even if people seem like liking him, they actually hate him. And he will get all kinds of troubles in ākhirah as well. He will be regretful there but it will be too late.
Therefore, through the mercy of Allāh ﷻ those who don't commit sins, or those who do but repent are protected by Allāh ﷻ. This is a great favour. To favour and imitate the sinners is not a clever thing. The ego makes people, believers and Muslims see these things as something important. Their egos lean towards that side and wish that they could do the same. When they can't do, it is with the protection of Allāh ﷻ. You should make shukr to Allāh ﷻ for you have not followed these things and didn't become one of them. It is a great favour.
There was one brother who passed away. He used to say, “If we try to steal something, the sun will rise in the middle of the night.” It means some obstacle will occur. That obstacle is a good thing. When you want to do something bad, something will prevent you. When you don't do it, you are saved then. Therefore, that is the mercy of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all from sins. Sinning is the biggest harm. The biggest evil people can cause themselves is to commit sins. We certainly do, but may we repent and ask forgiveness inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Sit in Your House (08.01.2022)
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
(Qur’ān 03:140). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, ‘Wa-tilka l-ayyāmu nudāwiluhā bayna n-nās’, ‘And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people.’ This world passes between people from one to another. Wealth passes from one to another too; ruling and everything as well. Nothing remains to anyone in this world. Apart from the goodness a person does, nothing remains with him. “I am Sulṭān. I am Padishah. I am a King.” No one could take anything with him by becoming so. Everyone left everything. This is the law of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is what applies to this world.
Therefore, goodness should be the thing that everyone takes. They shouldn't have greed. “I'll take this world. I'll become this. I'll become that.” They shouldn't run after dunyā by saying so, and forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ﷻ has given favours. These favours will be gone too. People will close their eyes. Everyone will close his eyes one day. They will go and those who remain will stay. If they [those who remain] are good, then how lucky you are! If they are not, then you have wasted yourself on them. And if they are good, they will do something for you. You will have thawāb. Otherwise, if you bring them up badly, you will have a share from their sins and mistakes. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.
The world is all mixed up now. There is no need to make too much noise and fight with anyone in this time. Various events are occurring. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, there is a lot of Fitnah these days. Don't get involved in this Fitnah. This is among the last advices of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. When there is Fitnah, do not go out and do not be involved in it. Don't even leave your house. As long as you do so, nothing will happen to you with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. But if you go out, you are responsible then. You will carry your responsibility then. Because you will do it for dunyā. The actions of most people are for interest, dunyā, chairmanship, presidency, this and that. They claim to be so and make Fitnah; whereas, if they sit still, no one will be harmed.
Therefore, our advice to Muslims, especially to the brothers; don't go out to the streets to join protests and this and that. Don't get involved in it. Don't be from them. You will be in peace from where you are. If you don't listen and join them, you will be responsible for it. Allāh ﷻ will ask you why you did so, why you put yourself in danger. “الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْلِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ”, “Al-muslimu man salima l-muslimuna min lisānihī wa yadihī”, “A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hands the Muslims are safe.” [Hadith] A Muslim is the person whose tongue, hands and everything are safe. A person who harms is not considered a Muslim. Muslims don't harm, with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May no one be harmed inshā’Allāh. May everyone be safe. We have Muslims and brothers everywhere. All of them are on the way of Allāh ﷻ. They are with Allāh ﷻ. There will be barakah in their countries inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

How Sin Can Lead to Paradise (07.01.2022)
Our religion is beautiful. Allāh ﷻ is beautiful. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is beautiful. Everything is beautiful. And a person who follows this way is beautiful too. This is the religion of mercy. The mercy of Allāh ﷻ will be upon those who follow this religion. All the blessings and beauties will be upon them.
Mankind makes mistakes and commits sins. They can do everything. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives all of them when they repent. He ﷻ even converts sins into goodness. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in some of his ḥadīth. A man didn't have so much thawāb. He came and wondered how he attained them. He was told, “You committed so many sins. But when you repented and asked forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ, when you regreted, your sins were erased and thawāb is written instead of them.”
Our religion is so beautiful. Yet people without knowing... Those who are clever follow this religion and believe in Allāh ﷻ. They follow our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and love him ﷺ. To love him ﷺ is salvation for us. It is good for us. Otherwise, the more enmity you have, the more the loss you get. Nothing will happen to them. You are nothing in front of them. Those who stand against Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla have no mind. They are stupid. People of the present time are cheated. It is because of young age as well. They want to look tough and act so. But they do something and regret it. When they regret it and repent for it, Allāh ﷻaccepts their repentance. “Who repents will have My repentance”, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in his ḥadīth sharīf, sometimes a man commits a sin and that sin becomes means to enter paradise. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said so. Ṣaḥābah got surprised, “How come, yā RasūluLlāh? A sinner will go to paradise with his sins?” A sin became means for this man to enter paradise. The Ṣaḥābah were astonished. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “He committed a sin. But he regreted it and he repented. Therefore, because of his repentance, he went to paradise. If he hadn't committed that sin, it is possible that he would go on the wrong way and end up in hell. However, due to that sin, he repented and Allāh ﷻ looked at him with mercy and put him in paradise.”
It is a beautiful religion. There is no difficulty. Those who make it difficult are people who don't know this religion, who don't know about Tarīqah and Sharī‘ah. People who know about Tarīqah and Sharī‘ah know how tolerate and how easy it is. Otherwise, some people have such ideas that can take all people to hell. But they have no importance. They have nothing. They have no foundation. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla always says, “I am Ghaffār. I am forgiving. Repent and I will accept your repentance”.
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we are from this Ummah. We are going on the way of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Ṭarīqah is his ﷺ way. We are going on his way, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ make us all steadfast. And may Allāh ﷻ show this beautiful way to those who are not on it. May He ﷻ give them guidance insha’Allah. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

so that their service is accepted and the responsibility won’t be on them. The responsibility is to go there and to protect people's rights, to serve and help people in different ways physically and spiritually. Whoever goes there, gets salary and says, “When I am right, I will escape from there, or I won't go. When I am wrong, I will stay quiet. I should get my salary and live on. I am famous enough to do these things”, he will be in big loss. He puts himself in big trouble. Because it is the biggest thing.
On the Day of Judgment, people who will have the hardest time are rulers. Rulers are those who are in the parliament now. In old times, there was one man. We don't want to talk about which one is better and which one is worse. There was just one man and he would reign. If he was right, he will be right. If he was wrong, he will be wrong together with his responsibility. On the day of judgment, this person has the worst position. And now it is these people. You made up a new law and oppress others. People put you there so that you end this oppression. You go there in order to be useful to people, but you don't do that. It is not an honor for you. It is not nice. It is a burden for you. And may Allāh ﷻ protect you, you will suffer from this burden in ākhirah.
Good people speak the truth. They are not afraid of anyone. Truth is truth. And you will have a pure conscience in front of
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Because of your actions, Allāh ﷻ will reward you and write Thawāb for you. And you will live with honor in this world. They won't say this person is capricious. Otherwise, you won't be useful in dunyā and you won't have any Thawāb in ākhirah. You will leave with sins. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Everyone is saying democracy now. Everyone thinks “I can become a member of the parliament. It is just an election. They formed new parties. They will take me in. I'll do so and so.” People are living in their imaginary world.
Therefore, the important thing is to serve, to be right and to be with the truth. If you are not with the truth, even if you become the ruler of whole world, it won't be worth a penny in ākhirah. But when you are with the truth and have nothing, you are in profit. May Allāh ﷻ help us inshā’Allāh. Inshā’Allāh may these people be with the truth as we said. Its benefit will be for themselves first of all. Because there is Barakah in everything in this country when with the truth. When there is no truth, there is no Barakah. They can strive as much as they want. May Allāh ﷻ help us. May Allāh ﷻ give them alertness. May they be with the truth inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Remember to Be with Him ﷻ (15.01.2022)
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says,
A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
(Qur’ān 13:28). “A-lā bi-dhikri llāhi taṭmainnu l-qulūb”, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” Hearts find peace and contentment only with the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People are looking for contentment and peace in this world. They are striving in order to make their hearts content. That is only with the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ. Hearts are content with Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ.
Now people are trying various things that you cannot imagine in order to make their hearts content, at rest and peaceful. They are trying to do various things. But it doesn't help. They make meditation and yoga. There are thousands of nonsense things like this and like that in this world. “If you make this, you will find peace.” Who has tried it and found contentment? If you ask so, there is no answer. When they do it, they claim that it works. It doesn't work. It absolutely doesn't work. Because they pay money and they suffer so much, they just lie to themselves that their hearts are content and at peace. It is not your heart. Only your ego can be at peace then. It has nothing to do with the heart.
The heart is different. The heart is the spirit. And the ego has no relation to spirituality. It should be trained. Its training is made with the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ, with the rememberance of Allāh ﷻ. Dhikr means to remember Allāh ﷻ. By saying "Allah Allah", people remember Allah ﷻ. At first, they remember with the tongue and say it. And then this Dhikr goes into heart. Otherwise, if you stand in front of an idol and try to do like him, you cannot attain anything. It will bring you more discomfort and disturbance. Many people have ruined their lives by imitating their idols in front of them. They have nothing.
People, especially Muslims should remember Allāh ﷻ. They should make Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ. What Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling us is that our Creator knows how it works, our Creator knows how our hearts function. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla tells what the creatures need. If you are a car, you need fuel. If the car works on diesel, you put diesel in it. Otherwise, if you put water in it without knowing, it won't have any use.
Therefore, the Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ is a great favour to us. It is a great beauty. When you make it even with tasbīḥ every time, when you remember Allāh ﷻ so, it is Dhikr. When you say “Allah Allah” by heart, that gives contentment to your heart. And your works go well. You will be at peace. Allāh ﷻ is with you then. There is a Hadīth Qudsī, “أَنَا جَلِيسُ مَنْ ذَكَرَنِي”. “Ana jalīsu man dhakaranī.” “I am with that who remembers Me. I am his friend and I sit with him”, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Certainly, He is spaceless. It is to describe that Allāh ﷻ is with those who remember Him ﷻ. He is the greatest friend. And this is the greatest beauty. When Allāh ﷻ is with you, He ﷻ is not against you. May Allāh ﷻ make His Dhikr continuous in our hearts and in every atom of ours inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Islām Is the Nature of Humanity (12.01.2022)
There is a Turkish saying, “Water sleeps but enemies don't.” What we mean by enemies is that the enemies of Islām strive all the time in order to remove it. Since ’Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, during the times of all the Prophets they didn't want it. The enemies are the enemies of Allāh ﷻ. They see Islām as their greatest enemy. Therefore, we should be careful. We shouldn't be cheated by their tricks and games.
They are not only enemies of Islām but also enemies of humanity. Because Islām is the religion that orders people to do goodness and it shows the way for doing good things. It is the Fitrah and nature of people. They want to change it and are standing against it. They don't want anything from it. They cannot tolerate even a bit of it. But it is the religion of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ﷻ is protecting it. If Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla didn't protect it, they would have finished it a long time ago. Allāh ﷻ is the Owner of this religion. They are making war against Him ﷻ, but they are always defeated. Even if they look like winners, they are defeated. Because their efforts and the suffering they cause don't bring any success to them. They are failing. They think that they have luck in one place, but they fail in another place. This matter has been going on like this since a thousand years. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will make His religion victorious. This religion will show itself.
As we said, they are trying to change the human nature all over the world. They are destroying everything in attempts to control it. While trying to fix something... Even though their goal only seems to be fixing and they seem like they want to do goodness, their real goal is to destroy and ruin. They are striving to destroy all humanity. And people are destroyed. However, if Allāh ﷻ wants it, He ﷻ will replace them. Allāh ﷻ will forgive them and put new ones against them so that their efforts are wasted. Inshā’Allāh it will happen during our time. This beautiful time will come after now. The beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ will swipe away all the servants disliked by Allāh ﷻ who are against Him. And they will be thrown away from this world with the permission of Allāh ﷻ.
Therefore, do not be afraid of the enemies. The enemy is our ego that is inside us. We should take it under control and defeat it inshā’Allāh. When we do this, the enemies that are outside are nothing. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Time of Heavenly Help [11/01/2022]
“Allah Almighty says in the Quran the great that the promise of Allah ﷻ is true, and it will come. It will surely come. There are things that our Holy Prophet ﷺ told about in this world. All this happened as we approach the Day of Resurrection.
Some big events that will happen like the appearance of Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام and the departure of Jesus عليهم السلام are great signs. It's just too close. It has been promised. This is the word of God Almighty. And this is gonna happen. Jesus عليهم السلام in heaven. He will come down to earth and join our master al-Mahdi peace be upon him to destroy the antichrist and infidelity.
Some are now saying that Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام has appeared and Jesus عليهم السلام has returned Rohania. It's not the case. There will be no infidelity when Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام shows the truth. There are two types, or the most correct several types of people who claim to be Mahdi عليهم السلام. The real is yet to come. Fakes have appeared and they keep popping up. And there are a lot of lunatics who claim to be Mahdi. People laugh at them. But there are some fakes followed by some idiots. They are not idiots, they are deceivers. Because our Holy Prophet ﷺ, also promised that Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام will appear. They don't know his true self, when Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام appears, he won't collect money from anyone nor ask for help. Instead it will help everyone. He will make everyone follow him. If he would bring people together one by one through TV and newspapers, he wouldn't make the world Muslim in a million years. But in its time everything will happen superstitiously always with dignity.
The rest, as we said.. Sometimes we say it's okay just to laugh. But, whoever says he is Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام, as we said, should make sure his mind, or people should beware of him, because he is probably trying to harm people. There are big crowds. Even they claim their sheikhs are the Mahdi. If he is Mahdi عليهم السلام, then why didn't the injustice end? Hustle is everywhere. Nothing has changed. Islam has not spread all over the world
Meanwhile when Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام appears, everyone will become Muslim, and the whole world will become Muslim. It's the word of God the Almighty, the promise that the whole world will be Muslim. This is what Allah Almighty promised. It will happen with the appearance of Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام and Jesus عليهم السلام, Jesus عليهم السلام in the second heaven. It will surely come. "He came spiritually, he came so." No. He will be by our side and lead us. After Al-Mahdi عليهم السلام, he will judge. Islam will rule . He will lead as a person from the nation of our Holy Prophet ﷺ.
These things are going to happen. No doubt. This is the belief of the ways of the Sunnah people and the congregation. This is the right thing. Everything but this is not true. God has brought us to that time. May we be with him inshaAllah. These beautiful days are coming. The second era of happiness after our Holy Prophet ﷺ, will be in their time. It's near inshaAllah.
This world is in a corrupt state. The situation has been a religious mess before. But now it's clear from all sides. Back in the day, when people told people that someone died, they were affected. One hundred thousand people are dying right now, millions are dying and no one cares. The world is like this right now. The situation can't bear anymore inshaAllah. Hopefully it will be soon inshaAllah. May we not wait any longer in this darkness inshaAllah. And from God the best. Al-Fatiha.”

Know Who You Follow (10.01.2022)
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that whoever makes something up that is not in the religion and spreads it, the punishment for the mistakes and sins committed by everyone because of it will be on him. If there is one person, one punishment comes. If two persons follow it, the punishment for these two persons will come to him. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said so.
Because Bid‘ah means spreading bad things which are not in Islām for personal benefit or to make Fitnah. There are many people of such dajjāl type who want to mislead people from the right way. In the end of times, there will always be small dajjāls and cheaters before the big dajjāl appears. They will do things for their benefit. And people will perish by believing them. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Therefore, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says to beware. Don't follow such people or things that are not in the religion.
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, there are millions of scholars and Awliya brought up in the Islamic world. There are beautiful books and beautiful knowledge from all of them. But people of the present time... There were such people in old times too. There were people with bad intentions. But none of them have any importance anymore. Those who followed them went astray. Some of them left Islām and some of them left the way. But they are a lot in the present time. Those who follow them will perish. Some of them are fake scholars. Just like the fake scholars, there are fake Shaykhs. There are people who make the ḥalāl things ḥarām and the ḥarām things ḥalāl as they like. There are such people. But some of them are quickly forgotten, and some of them leave bad works.
People who follow those works are in loss but they go on like that. Those who follow them - Allāh ﷻ has given understanding. The way is clear, and the truth is clear. Those who follow them do so because their egos like it. You cannot go after something your ego likes. That is not the true way. The true way is clear. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from such people. Because people go to a Shaykh and he says, “I am Khalīfah. I am this. I am above that.” Many people claim so. Those who have weak willpower and strong egos follow them, and then they perish. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from their evil. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Prevention Is a Mercy (09.01.2022)
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, ‘وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ’, ‘Wa Qihimu As-Sayyi’āti Wa Man Taqī As-Sayyi’āti Yawma’idhin Faqad Raĥimtah’, ‘And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy.’ (Qur’ān 40:09).
Protect us from sins. When we are protected from sins, we are covered in the mercy of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Then, we don't commit sins, or we decrease our sins. Because people are sinners. Allāh ﷻ created them to commit sins. But some of them think that they were created only to commit sins. They try to do all kinds of evil and sins. Their egos want that. So they run after whatever their egos want. There are many people who run after sins day and night, without getting tired. This is the majority. Not minority, but the majority of people are like this. This is not good. This is bad for people.
Therefore, people commit sins, and they repent and ask forgiveness. When they know their sins, Allāh ﷻ forgives them and erases those sins. But if people persist on sinning, they should not think that they are benefitting from it. It brings nothing but harm. “I don't pray. I don't know Allāh ﷻ. I don't love the Prophet ﷺ. I drink alcohol. I run after women and commit adultery. I do all kinds of wrong things. How nice! I'm living the life.” They shouldn't think so. There is no benefit for them and no benefit for others. It is nothing but sin. For every sin someone commits, burden falls onto him and darkness covers him. He alienates from people. And even if people seem like liking him, they actually hate him. And he will get all kinds of troubles in ākhirah as well. He will be regretful there but it will be too late.
Therefore, through the mercy of Allāh ﷻ those who don't commit sins, or those who do but repent are protected by Allāh ﷻ. This is a great favour. To favour and imitate the sinners is not a clever thing. The ego makes people, believers and Muslims see these things as something important. Their egos lean towards that side and wish that they could do the same. When they can't do, it is with the protection of Allāh ﷻ. You should make shukr to Allāh ﷻ for you have not followed these things and didn't become one of them. It is a great favour.
There was one brother who passed away. He used to say, “If we try to steal something, the sun will rise in the middle of the night.” It means some obstacle will occur. That obstacle is a good thing. When you want to do something bad, something will prevent you. When you don't do it, you are saved then. Therefore, that is the mercy of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all from sins. Sinning is the biggest harm. The biggest evil people can cause themselves is to commit sins. We certainly do, but may we repent and ask forgiveness inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Sit in Your House (08.01.2022)
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
(Qur’ān 03:140). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, ‘Wa-tilka l-ayyāmu nudāwiluhā bayna n-nās’, ‘And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people.’ This world passes between people from one to another. Wealth passes from one to another too; ruling and everything as well. Nothing remains to anyone in this world. Apart from the goodness a person does, nothing remains with him. “I am Sulṭān. I am Padishah. I am a King.” No one could take anything with him by becoming so. Everyone left everything. This is the law of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is what applies to this world.
Therefore, goodness should be the thing that everyone takes. They shouldn't have greed. “I'll take this world. I'll become this. I'll become that.” They shouldn't run after dunyā by saying so, and forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ﷻ has given favours. These favours will be gone too. People will close their eyes. Everyone will close his eyes one day. They will go and those who remain will stay. If they [those who remain] are good, then how lucky you are! If they are not, then you have wasted yourself on them. And if they are good, they will do something for you. You will have thawāb. Otherwise, if you bring them up badly, you will have a share from their sins and mistakes. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.
The world is all mixed up now. There is no need to make too much noise and fight with anyone in this time. Various events are occurring. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, there is a lot of Fitnah these days. Don't get involved in this Fitnah. This is among the last advices of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. When there is Fitnah, do not go out and do not be involved in it. Don't even leave your house. As long as you do so, nothing will happen to you with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. But if you go out, you are responsible then. You will carry your responsibility then. Because you will do it for dunyā. The actions of most people are for interest, dunyā, chairmanship, presidency, this and that. They claim to be so and make Fitnah; whereas, if they sit still, no one will be harmed.
Therefore, our advice to Muslims, especially to the brothers; don't go out to the streets to join protests and this and that. Don't get involved in it. Don't be from them. You will be in peace from where you are. If you don't listen and join them, you will be responsible for it. Allāh ﷻ will ask you why you did so, why you put yourself in danger. “الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْلِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ”, “Al-muslimu man salima l-muslimuna min lisānihī wa yadihī”, “A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hands the Muslims are safe.” [Hadith] A Muslim is the person whose tongue, hands and everything are safe. A person who harms is not considered a Muslim. Muslims don't harm, with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May no one be harmed inshā’Allāh. May everyone be safe. We have Muslims and brothers everywhere. All of them are on the way of Allāh ﷻ. They are with Allāh ﷻ. There will be barakah in their countries inshā’Allāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

How Sin Can Lead to Paradise (07.01.2022)
Our religion is beautiful. Allāh ﷻ is beautiful. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is beautiful. Everything is beautiful. And a person who follows this way is beautiful too. This is the religion of mercy. The mercy of Allāh ﷻ will be upon those who follow this religion. All the blessings and beauties will be upon them.
Mankind makes mistakes and commits sins. They can do everything. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives all of them when they repent. He ﷻ even converts sins into goodness. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in some of his ḥadīth. A man didn't have so much thawāb. He came and wondered how he attained them. He was told, “You committed so many sins. But when you repented and asked forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ, when you regreted, your sins were erased and thawāb is written instead of them.”
Our religion is so beautiful. Yet people without knowing... Those who are clever follow this religion and believe in Allāh ﷻ. They follow our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and love him ﷺ. To love him ﷺ is salvation for us. It is good for us. Otherwise, the more enmity you have, the more the loss you get. Nothing will happen to them. You are nothing in front of them. Those who stand against Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla have no mind. They are stupid. People of the present time are cheated. It is because of young age as well. They want to look tough and act so. But they do something and regret it. When they regret it and repent for it, Allāh ﷻaccepts their repentance. “Who repents will have My repentance”, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in his ḥadīth sharīf, sometimes a man commits a sin and that sin becomes means to enter paradise. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said so. Ṣaḥābah got surprised, “How come, yā RasūluLlāh? A sinner will go to paradise with his sins?” A sin became means for this man to enter paradise. The Ṣaḥābah were astonished. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “He committed a sin. But he regreted it and he repented. Therefore, because of his repentance, he went to paradise. If he hadn't committed that sin, it is possible that he would go on the wrong way and end up in hell. However, due to that sin, he repented and Allāh ﷻ looked at him with mercy and put him in paradise.”
It is a beautiful religion. There is no difficulty. Those who make it difficult are people who don't know this religion, who don't know about Tarīqah and Sharī‘ah. People who know about Tarīqah and Sharī‘ah know how tolerate and how easy it is. Otherwise, some people have such ideas that can take all people to hell. But they have no importance. They have nothing. They have no foundation. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla always says, “I am Ghaffār. I am forgiving. Repent and I will accept your repentance”.
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we are from this Ummah. We are going on the way of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Ṭarīqah is his ﷺ way. We are going on his way, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ make us all steadfast. And may Allāh ﷻ show this beautiful way to those who are not on it. May He ﷻ give them guidance insha’Allah. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
