s for people is guidance, to be on the way of Allāh جل جلاله May Allāh جل جلاله forgive us all.
We are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are today, Jum‘ah. It is our blessed day for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and his صلى الله عليه وسلم ummah – day of Jum‘ah, Friday. The beginning for week we call Friday. For Muslim ummah, it is blessed. It was, some place they make holiday, they close Friday. In time of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, it was blessed day but they can work, they can do everything but only time of praying it is forbidden to sell or to buy anything. You must go to half an hour, fifteen minute, to mosque, pray Jum‘ah. After this, you are free whole [day]. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla only want from believer to put this time out of material thing – only spiritual thing Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla order for people. And it is not so big thing.
But people they are not listening what... Who not listening he is unfortunate, unlucky. But, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are happy with this day and we are living time of very, for some, something, sometime very difficult – for some people very difficult. For some people, not for human being difficult it was not difficult. Because now everything they try to do – whole world for people, to serve people, human being. They have machine, washing machine, many thing of machine for ladies, for housewives. Before, it was must burn fire with wood to cook and to put for also for washing. It was so difficult. Now, very easy for them. For men also, same. Even there is machine for everything. In factory also machine. No need for people to be tired. Cars, motors, airplane – everything, very easy for human being now.
Ah yes, this very easy but what happen? People they are happy? No. Make them more sad, more unhappy. Even they have everything but they are unhappy with this. They must be happy because everything make easy not like old time. To go from here to Lefkosa, Nicosia, three days you want to go walking there. Now, half an hour you be there. But also that people they was more easy for them because people, they have now lot of time. With this time they are not thinking to do good thing. They are doing what their ego like. For this, every time they are follow ego, they are become more sad and more unhappy. Before, old time, there was no time to enjoy yourself. Only whole time you must you work by your hand, by your walking, coming, going, cutting. Factory also you must work in by your hand. So, no time for people to be, have time, enough time to be stressed and to be unhappy, to become mad, to become crazy. There was only, they concentrate to finish this work. This finished, tomorrow same. Again, you must run or to do this again and again. No time for people to be spoiled.
But now people, they are all not happy. But people, they are wanting more and more, more comfortable. They say, "This is not enough, not enough for us. We must, we need more and more." But people who are nonbeliever, they will be never happy. Why? Because they don't have any hope for real life. Real life... What we are living in world – the most richest one or most poorest one, all they are, they have some problem with themself. This problem why? Because you are in place [to] prepare for next life. Next life it will be happy and peaceful for who are believe, believer. Who not believer, they're trying in this life and they're saying, "No, nothing after this." But for believer, they are know if they are patient they will be have, from their Lord, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for every difficult[y] – reward. And when, "wa-d-dāru l-ākhiratu khayrun li-lladhīna yattaqūn" (7:169). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying. "The next life, it "is the better life for believer, who afraid from Allāh جل جلاله “
And it will be real when, for paradise no stressful, nothing from this, any unhappiness who in this world. Especially, in the door of paradise, this is, there is Ḥawḍu l-Kawthar – Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his صلى الله عليه وسلم pool this. Water from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, he صلى الله عليه وسلم is owner this. He صلى الله عليه وسلم will, everyone coming, before going to inside paradise, they will drink from this water. And this water's speciality, it is like to clean everyone going inside. From what? From ego desire, ego attribute, and what is this: jealousy, enemy [enmity], retreat [hatred]. Every bad thing you imagine in this world, it will be finish. You'll be like angel, no anything against anybody. Everybody they be happy with each other, with other. Not, no any jealousy there. No any hatred. And this, all this what we have in this world from bad character, from bad attribute, it will be finish. Cannot be enter paradise.
So, in paradise – the place of happiness. For this, we are not unhappy here also because we are knowing this it will not go for nothing. All this Allāh جل جلاله will reward us for this. For disbeliever, no not believer, they are unlucky. But we are making we pray for them to Allāh جل جلاله give them hidāyah, to show them right way because human being Allāh جل جلاله create them and we are, we must try to help them. To help them – show them right way.
This is our help for them and pray for them to be in right way, in shā’a Llāh.

Do Everything to Please Allāh جل جلاله
Ṣuḥbah of the 17th of February, 2022.
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Allāh جل جلاله is the One جل جلاله who created people. Each person’s desires are different. But all of them have something in common. Most people are living in order to advance themselves, and working in order to satisfy themselves in this world. There are billions of people around the world; everyone is trying to become someone. They are trying hard day and night in order to advance themselves in their work. This is what they want. This is the nature given to people by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given people this disposition for doing goodness. He جل جلاله made them like this so that they will become good ones. Not for them to build wealth, but to be valuable and beloved servants in the presence of Allāh جل جلاله. This is the reason Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave people this nature. But they forget it, and strive to excel in things they themselves love. That is useless. Those are useless things. No matter how distinguished they are, as long as they are not the way that Allāh جل جلاله wants them to be, they are absolutely useless.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says unless there is the pleasure of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla in all these things they have no benefit, no importance. This is ḥadīth sharīf of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is the same for all these non-Muslims, people without religion, never mind for Muslims. You should say that everything you do, you will do for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله. You should say to yourself every time you wake up in the morning, “In shā’a Llāh, let everything I do today be something beloved by Allāh جل جلاله. Let it be something that Allāh جل جلاله is pleased with so that I don’t spend a minute, a breath, a moment for nothing in this life.”
This life is short. It should not be wasted for nothing. This thought, this intention is enough. It puts everything on track. It makes every breath valuable. This applies to everything we do... There are many crazy trends in this, that and the other. In order to be liked by others, people are dying by falling over and shooting themselves. They die at their own hand. What for? To be liked by people. People post their likes here, there, and I don’t know where. Their lives are empty. The lives of people who strive to be liked by others are empty.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and the mashāyikh should be pleased with you. You should strive for that. Strive to be liked by believers. Otherwise, if you say, “One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand people like me. One hundred thousand people like me” – then you have wasted time and your work and it is a shame. In the end, you won’t profit from it. What should be earned is the pleasure of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. That is the real gain. May Allāh جل جلاله let all of us earn that reward. May Allāh جل جلاله always be pleased with us, in shā’a Llāh. May we do our work for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله
Allāh جل جلاله create human being and they are have attribute, everyone from human being he like to be special; or to be in his work, in his business, in his life, to be more higher from other. To succeed and to do many thing to be happy. This is for whole world not only... even you can see very poor man he also think like this. Don’t think he is fed up from to look up to be, think it must be something – he is also. All this human being Allāh جل جلاله He جل جلاله created them like this. But He جل جلاله is also order them to follow His جل جلاله rule and to accept His جل جلاله, what orders. But people, most of people, whole world only they are looking to be satisfy their ego, running after dunyā for to be succeed. They forget their life it is not so long and what they are doing – nonsense, nothing. Even you succeed, you have what you like but if you miss something it is nothing at all.
What this thing? Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, everything you do without intention to be your Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla pleased with you it is nothing at all. When you forget this point, it is... you do everything, you tire yourself, you be happy, you be not happy. This is not important. It is at the end you are loser. You didn’t win anything. This not for non-believer, for believer even like this. Non-believer they are all, they think they are doing something, but from beginning they are loser. But for believer who and not doing thing – Everything we do, we must intention: “This it is for to make our Lord جل جلاله pleased with us, happy with us, we do this.” So you are winner every second, every minute, every day you are winner. Everything you do for happiness of Allāh جل جلاله, for His جل جلاله pleasure, you are winner.
Allāh جل جلاله happy with you because you are remember everything. You are contact. Not any second you are without thinking this. So it is this what we must think about this. Like, maybe you cannot do twenty-four hour, but from beginning of day intention. We do this from day and night for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله, everything we do. Also, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله make us to remember, to be pleased with us. You must make everything to make Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla pleased with us. This is the most important thing. Not important thing to make people happy with you or not happy. People they will not be happy. But now there is this fashion, subḥāna Llāh, every day they bring something this telephone. Many people they do very funny thing, very crazy thing to make people to... they say “like”. I don't know what is this “like”, they put something. Oh, hundred people he happy with me, he like me. Thousand people they like me. Ten thousand people, million people – ah. It is all rubbish, to make people have like you like clown and people happy with you. They will not win anything from pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله
You must think for pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله. Not be pleasure for yourself to make you like balloon to... Everyone blowing, blowing, at the end he will be explode. So, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله happy with us. Allāh جل جلاله make us to make Him جل جلاله happy with us . Not looking our ego to be happy with us. Allah جل جلاله give us this thinking and we will be winner at the end, in shā’a Llāh.
Because life it is very fast, very precious. Time very precious, not to do for nothing. For this everything you do, even you sit: “I am sitting. It is resting for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, in shā’a Llāh, happy with me.” In shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله be happy with us and to make our time all precious, in shā’a Llāh.

The Miracle of Laylatu l-Miraj [16/02/2022]
“Shukr to Allah ﷻ, we have reached the middle of Rajab. The holy month is the beginning of the Three Holy Months, as you know. It is a blessed month. Insha’Allah today we are travelling to Cyprus. And we will complete it there insha’Allah. We will celebrate Laylatu l-Miraj there, Allah ﷻ willing.
Laylatu l-Miraj is one of the biggest miracles of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. And it is one of the biggest favors from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is the night when our Holy Prophet ﷺ was shown the universes that had been created for him.
There are some people who are not scholars but claim to be scholars. In order for people not to believe in these miracles, they say that he ﷺ saw it in his dream. These people are certainly deficient in mind. Their egos has taken over them. People who say this are defeated by shaytan. Logically, if our Holy Prophet ﷺ had said this, why would Mushriks be so happy? It is something that no one can do. If our Holy Prophet ﷺ had said he saw it in his dream, Mushriks wouldn’t say anything. Otherwise, they were so happy that no one would follow our Holy Prophet ﷺ, they would leave this way and it would be over. On the contrary, Shukr to Allah ﷻ, the light of Islam has spread more everywhere. The favors granted in the presence of Allah ﷻ to the beloved Prophet ﷺ of Allah ﷻ on that night are especially for him.
Therefore, those who deny it have no mind at all. They have treachery, hypocrisy and all kinds of evil. ‘وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ’, ‘Wa mā dhālika ‘ala Llāhi bi ’azīz’, ‘And that is not difficult for Allah.’ (Qur’ān 14:20). It is not a difficult thing in the presence of Allah ﷻ. When they say so, they deny the power of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Ma‘az Allah, it leads people to Kufr. It leads to denying everything. And they will have no Iman in them.
Our Holy Prophet ﷺ travelled both physically and spiritually on that night. Like our Holy Prophet ﷺ said himself, it actually happened. The rest who deny it should be known as treacherous people who want to destroy the religion. It has become a trend now to interfere in useless matters. They say the matters beyond one’s height. And they are interfering in them, damn their heights. It is not a disputable matter at all. However, they are bringing it up to make Fitnah in every possible way at every opportunity. The shaytan is never at rest. Every minute they are trying to destroy people’s Iman and Islam. Let them keep trying.
BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim,
‘يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ’, ‘Yurīdūna liyuṭfiū nūra Llahi bi-afwāhihim wa Llahu mutimmu nūrihi walaw kariha l-kāfirūn, ‘They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even though the disbelievers dislike it.’ (Qur’ān 61:18). They want to extinguish the light of Allah ﷻ by blowing on it. How stupid they are! The light of Allah ﷻ wants to be perfect. It will be perfect. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, this light will appear everywhere. Those who will be against this light will be melted away. And there will be no benefit for them. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give us from this light insha’Allah. May we see the perfection of this light in this world insha’Allah. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.”

THE CURE IS FROM ALLAH .جل جلاله
15 February 2022/14 Rajab 1443
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
(Qur’ān 26:80).
‘Wa idhā mariḍtu fahuwa yashfīn’, ‘And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.’
The cure is from Allah جل جلاله. An illness is a suffering to some people, and a goodness to some people. For Muslims, everything is good. Everything is good for believers. When sick, if there are sins, they are forgiven and it becomes as an atonement. And if there are no sins, their ranks are raised.
Everything has a benefit from the spiritual perspective and from the physical perspective. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that the benefit of the common cold is that it prevents mental illnesses and insanity. Indeed, if you look, insane people don’t catch a cold. Allah جل جلاله created everything with wisdom. People make it worse themselves by messing with it.
Therefore, when people feel sick, they should of course take medicine. But people prefer to immediately go to surgeries, blood tests and biopsies for a small thing. People shouldn’t go that far, because the body is affected by the spiritual condition of the person. If there is nothing, something will occur. And if there is something, you should put your trust in Allah جل جلاله. It will disappear without you noticing it.
We have to know that these things are from Allah جل جلاله. You should beg Allah جل جلاله and seek the cure from Allah جل جلاله. Even if you take medicine, the cure is not from the medicine. The cure is from Allah جل جلاله. We should use it as a means. But if you think that the cure comes from the medicine, it will have no benefit. It will be harmful for you, may Allah جل جلاله protect us.
Certainly, treatment is necessary. But Al-Shāfi, The Healer is Allah جل جلاله. You should beg and make Dua to Him جل جلاله so that He جل جلاله gives you the cure. Otherwise, as we said, it has no benefit and no spiritual benefit for you. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
Of course, people say, “How do non-Muslims and people without Iman get cured?” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives them a possibility to go wilder and to make more Kufr. And it happens that they do. They will be brought to account afterwards, because they have nothing to be forgiven for. If they want to be forgiven, as long as they don’t repent, these illnesses and everything will remain in this world. Whoever gets better, is better. Whoever doesn’t, will be gone.
Therefore, there is no need to worry. Don’t panic when you get sick. You should think, “What should we do? It is the order of Allah جل جلاله, and it has benefit for us”. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله give cure to the sick ones. Many people are sick. But what can you do? “It is from this microbe, it is from that...” They’ve made this microbe by the order of Allah جل جلاله. People will die. And if their death is because of the microbe, the virus, or the heart; death comes through many ways. Whoever thinks that death comes from that is mistaken. May Allah جل جلاله protect us, his Iman will be weaker.
Death is from Allah جل جلاله, it is the order of Allah جل جلاله. When it comes, there is no minute ahead, and no minute back. Therefore, those who are meant to die from this, will die. Those who are not, will not die. So there’s no need for too much fear. Whatever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says will happen. We should have Iman in Him جل جلاله. We should believe in Him جل جلاله.
May Allah جل جلاله give all of us a long and good life. May He جل جلاله give it with Iman insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

DON’T GET INTO ARGUMENTS
14 February 2022/13 Rajab 1443
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that when someone argues with you, don’t respond to him. Someone was saying very bad words to Sayyidina Abu Bakr raḍiya Llāhu ‘anhu, Sayyidina Abu Bakr was not saying anything back. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was smiling there and didn’t say anything. The man pressed against him more and more that Sayyidina Abu Bakr couldn’t tolerate it anymore and responded to him. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stopped smiling and left the place. Sayyidina Abu Bakr understood the attitude of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, so he went immediately after him. “Did I do something that made you upset? You were smiling when the man was telling me bad things. And when I replied to him, your smile disappeared and you left”. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “No matter how much bad words he was saying, there was an angel in front of him who was responding to him. That’s why I was smiling. And when you started replying, the angel ran away and shaytan came instead. I don’t like it and I don’t stay where there is shaytan. That’s why I left”.
This is a teaching for us about the situation of this world. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is the greatest teacher. When there is an argument, no need to get into it. The shaytan will certainly join it. You can be the right one as much as you want, or defend yourself as much as you want, there is no benefit. There is nothing but harm.
Therefore, don’t get into an argument. If something happens, keep quiet without responding and leave. Or if you stay, don’t respond. The more you reply, the worse it gets because there is no angel there. There are only shaytans who make a party in rejoice and say, “Look, we made Fitnah and they are fighting now”. This is what shaytan likes, to raise hell between people. Therefore, when everyone shouts that he is right in order to defend his right, there is no right anymore. There is nothing but harm.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim used to also say not to get into an argument. No matter who you are and how right you are, don’t try to prove your right in an argument, because the one in front of you doesn’t understand. Allah جل جلاله knows, that is enough.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us from the conditions and the evil of the end of times.
Wa min Allah a Al-Fatiha.

The Sahabah of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم are like the stars. Whomever you follow from them, you reach guidance. No word can be said above these words of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.

s for people is guidance, to be on the way of Allāh جل جلاله May Allāh جل جلاله forgive us all.
We are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are today, Jum‘ah. It is our blessed day for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and his صلى الله عليه وسلم ummah – day of Jum‘ah, Friday. The beginning for week we call Friday. For Muslim ummah, it is blessed. It was, some place they make holiday, they close Friday. In time of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, it was blessed day but they can work, they can do everything but only time of praying it is forbidden to sell or to buy anything. You must go to half an hour, fifteen minute, to mosque, pray Jum‘ah. After this, you are free whole [day]. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla only want from believer to put this time out of material thing – only spiritual thing Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla order for people. And it is not so big thing.
But people they are not listening what... Who not listening he is unfortunate, unlucky. But, al- ḥamdu liLlāh, we are happy with this day and we are living time of very, for some, something, sometime very difficult – for some people very difficult. For some people, not for human being difficult it was not difficult. Because now everything they try to do – whole world for people, to serve people, human being. They have machine, washing machine, many thing of machine for ladies, for housewives. Before, it was must burn fire with wood to cook and to put for also for washing. It was so difficult. Now, very easy for them. For men also, same. Even there is machine for everything. In factory also machine. No need for people to be tired. Cars, motors, airplane – everything, very easy for human being now.
Ah yes, this very easy but what happen? People they are happy? No. Make them more sad, more unhappy. Even they have everything but they are unhappy with this. They must be happy because everything make easy not like old time. To go from here to Lefkosa, Nicosia, three days you want to go walking there. Now, half an hour you be there. But also that people they was more easy for them because people, they have now lot of time. With this time they are not thinking to do good thing. They are doing what their ego like. For this, every time they are follow ego, they are become more sad and more unhappy. Before, old time, there was no time to enjoy yourself. Only whole time you must you work by your hand, by your walking, coming, going, cutting. Factory also you must work in by your hand. So, no time for people to be, have time, enough time to be stressed and to be unhappy, to become mad, to become crazy. There was only, they concentrate to finish this work. This finished, tomorrow same. Again, you must run or to do this again and again. No time for people to be spoiled.
But now people, they are all not happy. But people, they are wanting more and more, more comfortable. They say, "This is not enough, not enough for us. We must, we need more and more." But people who are nonbeliever, they will be never happy. Why? Because they don't have any hope for real life. Real life... What we are living in world – the most richest one or most poorest one, all they are, they have some problem with themself. This problem why? Because you are in place [to] prepare for next life. Next life it will be happy and peaceful for who are believe, believer. Who not believer, they're trying in this life and they're saying, "No, nothing after this." But for believer, they are know if they are patient they will be have, from their Lord, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for every difficult[y] – reward. And when, "wa-d-dāru l-ākhiratu khayrun li-lladhīna yattaqūn" (7:169). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying. "The next life, it "is the better life for believer, who afraid from Allāh جل جلاله “
And it will be real when, for paradise no stressful, nothing from this, any unhappiness who in this world. Especially, in the door of paradise, this is, there is Ḥawḍu l-Kawthar – Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his صلى الله عليه وسلم pool this. Water from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, he صلى الله عليه وسلم is owner this. He صلى الله عليه وسلم will, everyone coming, before going to inside paradise, they will drink from this water. And this water's speciality, it is like to clean everyone going inside. From what? From ego desire, ego attribute, and what is this: jealousy, enemy [enmity], retreat [hatred]. Every bad thing you imagine in this world, it will be finish. You'll be like angel, no anything against anybody. Everybody they be happy with each other, with other. Not, no any jealousy there. No any hatred. And this, all this what we have in this world from bad character, from bad attribute, it will be finish. Cannot be enter paradise.
So, in paradise – the place of happiness. For this, we are not unhappy here also because we are knowing this it will not go for nothing. All this Allāh جل جلاله will reward us for this.

But we are making we pray for them to Allāh جل جلاله give them hidāyah, to show them right way because human being Allāh جل جلاله create them and we are, we must try to help them.

This is our help for them and pray for them to be in right way, in shā’a Llāh.

Do Everything to Please Allāh جل جلاله
Ṣuḥbah of the 17th of February, 2022.
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Allāh جل جلاله is the One جل جلاله who created people. Each person’s desires are different. But all of them have something in common. Most people are living in order to advance themselves, and working in order to satisfy themselves in this world. There are billions of people around the world; everyone is trying to become someone. They are trying hard day and night in order to advance themselves in their work. This is what they want. This is the nature given to people by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given people this disposition for doing goodness. He جل جلاله made them like this so that they will become good ones. Not for them to build wealth, but to be valuable and beloved servants in the presence of Allāh جل جلاله. This is the reason Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave people this nature. But they forget it, and strive to excel in things they themselves love. That is useless. Those are useless things. No matter how distinguished they are, as long as they are not the way that Allāh جل جلاله wants them to be, they are absolutely useless.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says unless there is the pleasure of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla in all these things they have no benefit, no importance. This is ḥadīth sharīf of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is the same for all these non-Muslims, people without religion, never mind for Muslims. You should say that everything you do, you will do for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله. You should say to yourself every time you wake up in the morning, “In shā’a Llāh, let everything I do today be something beloved by Allāh جل جلاله. Let it be something that Allāh جل جلاله is pleased with so that I don’t spend a minute, a breath, a moment for nothing in this life.”
This life is short. It should not be wasted for nothing. This thought, this intention is enough. It puts everything on track. It makes every breath valuable. This applies to everything we do... There are many crazy trends in this, that and the other. In order to be liked by others, people are dying by falling over and shooting themselves. They die at their own hand. What for? To be liked by people. People post their likes here, there, and I don’t know where. Their lives are empty. The lives of people who strive to be liked by others are empty.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and the mashāyikh should be pleased with you. You should strive for that. Strive to be liked by believers. Otherwise, if you say, “One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand people like me. One hundred thousand people like me” – then you have wasted time and your work and it is a shame. In the end, you won’t profit from it. What should be earned is the pleasure of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. That is the real gain. May Allāh جل جلاله let all of us earn that reward. May Allāh جل جلاله always be pleased with us, in shā’a Llāh. May we do our work for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله
Allāh جل جلاله create human being and they are have attribute, everyone from human being he like to be special; or to be in his work, in his business, in his life, to be more higher from other. To succeed and to do many thing to be happy. This is for whole world not only... even you can see very poor man he also think like this. Don’t think he is fed up from to look up to be, think it must be something – he is also. All this human being Allāh جل جلاله He جل جلاله created them like this. But He جل جلاله is also order them to follow His جل جلاله rule and to accept His جل جلاله, what orders. But people, most of people, whole world only they are looking to be satisfy their ego, running after dunyā for to be succeed. They forget their life it is not so long and what they are doing – nonsense, nothing. Even you succeed, you have what you like but if you miss something it is nothing at all.
What this thing? Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, everything you do without intention to be your Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla pleased with you it is nothing at all. When you forget this point, it is... you do everything, you tire yourself, you be happy, you be not happy. This is not important. It is at the end you are loser. You didn’t win anything. This not for non-believer, for believer even like this. Non-believer they are all, they think they are doing something, but from beginning they are loser. But for believer who and not doing thing – Everything we do, we must intention: “This it is for to make our Lord جل جلاله pleased with us, happy with us, we do this.” So you are winner every second, every minute, every day you are winner. Everything you do for happiness of Allāh جل جلاله, for His جل جلاله pleasure, you are winner.
Allāh جل جلاله happy with you because you are remember everything. You are contact. Not any second you are without thinking this. So it is this what we must think about this. Like, maybe you cannot do twenty-four hour, but from beginning of day intention. We do this from day and night for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله, everything we do. Also, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله make us to remember, to be pleased with us. You must make everything to make Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla pleased with us. This is the most important thing. Not important thing to make people happy with you or not happy. People they will not be happy. But now there is this fashion, subḥāna Llāh, every day they bring something this telephone. Many people they do very funny thing, very crazy thing to make people to... they say “like”. I don't know what is this “like”, they put something. Oh, hundred people he happy with me, he like me. Thousand people they like me. Ten thousand people, million people – ah. It is all rubbish, to make people have like you like clown and people happy with you. They will not win anything from pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله
You must think for pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله. Not be pleasure for yourself to make you like balloon to... Everyone blowing, blowing, at the end he will be explode. So, in shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله happy with us. Allāh جل جلاله make us to make Him جل جلاله happy with us . Not looking our ego to be happy with us. Allah جل جلاله give us this thinking and we will be winner at the end, in shā’a Llāh.
Because life it is very fast, very precious. Time very precious, not to do for nothing. For this everything you do, even you sit: “I am sitting. It is resting for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, in shā’a Llāh, happy with me.” In shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله be happy with us and to make our time all precious, in shā’a Llāh.

The Miracle of Laylatu l-Miraj [16/02/2022]
“Shukr to Allah ﷻ, we have reached the middle of Rajab. The holy month is the beginning of the Three Holy Months, as you know. It is a blessed month. Insha’Allah today we are travelling to Cyprus. And we will complete it there insha’Allah. We will celebrate Laylatu l-Miraj there, Allah ﷻ willing.
Laylatu l-Miraj is one of the biggest miracles of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. And it is one of the biggest favors from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is the night when our Holy Prophet ﷺ was shown the universes that had been created for him.
There are some people who are not scholars but claim to be scholars. In order for people not to believe in these miracles, they say that he ﷺ saw it in his dream. These people are certainly deficient in mind. Their egos has taken over them. People who say this are defeated by shaytan. Logically, if our Holy Prophet ﷺ had said this, why would Mushriks be so happy? It is something that no one can do. If our Holy Prophet ﷺ had said he saw it in his dream, Mushriks wouldn’t say anything. Otherwise, they were so happy that no one would follow our Holy Prophet ﷺ, they would leave this way and it would be over. On the contrary, Shukr to Allah ﷻ, the light of Islam has spread more everywhere. The favors granted in the presence of Allah ﷻ to the beloved Prophet ﷺ of Allah ﷻ on that night are especially for him.
Therefore, those who deny it have no mind at all. They have treachery, hypocrisy and all kinds of evil. ‘وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ’, ‘Wa mā dhālika ‘ala Llāhi bi ’azīz’, ‘And that is not difficult for Allah.’ (Qur’ān 14:20). It is not a difficult thing in the presence of Allah ﷻ. When they say so, they deny the power of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Ma‘az Allah, it leads people to Kufr. It leads to denying everything. And they will have no Iman in them.
Our Holy Prophet ﷺ travelled both physically and spiritually on that night. Like our Holy Prophet ﷺ said himself, it actually happened. The rest who deny it should be known as treacherous people who want to destroy the religion. It has become a trend now to interfere in useless matters. They say the matters beyond one’s height. And they are interfering in them, damn their heights. It is not a disputable matter at all. However, they are bringing it up to make Fitnah in every possible way at every opportunity. The shaytan is never at rest. Every minute they are trying to destroy people’s Iman and Islam. Let them keep trying.
BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim,
‘يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ’, ‘Yurīdūna liyuṭfiū nūra Llahi bi-afwāhihim wa Llahu mutimmu nūrihi walaw kariha l-kāfirūn, ‘They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even though the disbelievers dislike it.’ (Qur’ān 61:18). They want to extinguish the light of Allah ﷻ by blowing on it. How stupid they are! The light of Allah ﷻ wants to be perfect. It will be perfect. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, this light will appear everywhere. Those who will be against this light will be melted away. And there will be no benefit for them. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give us from this light insha’Allah. May we see the perfection of this light in this world insha’Allah. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.”

THE CURE IS FROM ALLAH .جل جلاله

Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
(Qur’ān 26:80).
‘Wa idhā mariḍtu fahuwa yashfīn’, ‘And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.’
The cure is from Allah جل جلاله. An illness is a suffering to some people, and a goodness to some people. For Muslims, everything is good. Everything is good for believers. When sick, if there are sins, they are forgiven and it becomes as an atonement. And if there are no sins, their ranks are raised.
Everything has a benefit from the spiritual perspective and from the physical perspective. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that the benefit of the common cold is that it prevents mental illnesses and insanity. Indeed, if you look, insane people don’t catch a cold. Allah جل جلاله created everything with wisdom. People make it worse themselves by messing with it.
Therefore, when people feel sick, they should of course take medicine. But people prefer to immediately go to surgeries, blood tests and biopsies for a small thing. People shouldn’t go that far, because the body is affected by the spiritual condition of the person. If there is nothing, something will occur. And if there is something, you should put your trust in Allah جل جلاله. It will disappear without you noticing it.
We have to know that these things are from Allah جل جلاله. You should beg Allah جل جلاله and seek the cure from Allah جل جلاله. Even if you take medicine, the cure is not from the medicine. The cure is from Allah جل جلاله. We should use it as a means. But if you think that the cure comes from the medicine, it will have no benefit. It will be harmful for you, may Allah جل جلاله protect us.
Certainly, treatment is necessary. But Al-Shāfi, The Healer is Allah جل جلاله. You should beg and make Dua to Him جل جلاله so that He جل جلاله gives you the cure. Otherwise, as we said, it has no benefit and no spiritual benefit for you. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
Of course, people say, “How do non-Muslims and people without Iman get cured?” Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives them a possibility to go wilder and to make more Kufr. And it happens that they do. They will be brought to account afterwards, because they have nothing to be forgiven for. If they want to be forgiven, as long as they don’t repent, these illnesses and everything will remain in this world. Whoever gets better, is better. Whoever doesn’t, will be gone.
Therefore, there is no need to worry. Don’t panic when you get sick. You should think, “What should we do? It is the order of Allah جل جلاله, and it has benefit for us”. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله give cure to the sick ones. Many people are sick. But what can you do? “It is from this microbe, it is from that...” They’ve made this microbe by the order of Allah جل جلاله. People will die. And if their death is because of the microbe, the virus, or the heart; death comes through many ways. Whoever thinks that death comes from that is mistaken. May Allah جل جلاله protect us, his Iman will be weaker.
Death is from Allah جل جلاله, it is the order of Allah جل جلاله. When it comes, there is no minute ahead, and no minute back. Therefore, those who are meant to die from this, will die. Those who are not, will not die. So there’s no need for too much fear. Whatever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says will happen. We should have Iman in Him جل جلاله. We should believe in Him جل جلاله.
May Allah جل جلاله give all of us a long and good life. May He جل جلاله give it with Iman insha’Allah.

DON’T GET INTO ARGUMENTS

A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that when someone argues with you, don’t respond to him. Someone was saying very bad words to Sayyidina Abu Bakr raḍiya Llāhu ‘anhu, Sayyidina Abu Bakr was not saying anything back. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was smiling there and didn’t say anything. The man pressed against him more and more that Sayyidina Abu Bakr couldn’t tolerate it anymore and responded to him. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stopped smiling and left the place. Sayyidina Abu Bakr understood the attitude of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, so he went immediately after him. “Did I do something that made you upset? You were smiling when the man was telling me bad things. And when I replied to him, your smile disappeared and you left”. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “No matter how much bad words he was saying, there was an angel in front of him who was responding to him. That’s why I was smiling. And when you started replying, the angel ran away and shaytan came instead. I don’t like it and I don’t stay where there is shaytan. That’s why I left”.
This is a teaching for us about the situation of this world. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is the greatest teacher. When there is an argument, no need to get into it. The shaytan will certainly join it. You can be the right one as much as you want, or defend yourself as much as you want, there is no benefit. There is nothing but harm.
Therefore, don’t get into an argument. If something happens, keep quiet without responding and leave. Or if you stay, don’t respond. The more you reply, the worse it gets because there is no angel there. There are only shaytans who make a party in rejoice and say, “Look, we made Fitnah and they are fighting now”. This is what shaytan likes, to raise hell between people. Therefore, when everyone shouts that he is right in order to defend his right, there is no right anymore. There is nothing but harm.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim used to also say not to get into an argument. No matter who you are and how right you are, don’t try to prove your right in an argument, because the one in front of you doesn’t understand. Allah جل جلاله knows, that is enough.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us from the conditions and the evil of the end of times.
