Beware of Physical and Spiritual Harm (27.03.2022)
In this time we are living in, people should beware. All people, regardless of being Muslim or not, should beware and guarded against the evil. They should know which is good and which is bad. However, what is shown as bad turns out as good most of the time. People who show things as bad are evil people themselves. They are bad people. And what is shown as good is bad for people, because the things they show are contrary to human nature. They do so from all aspects. It serves their personal interests and harms people at the same time.
Those who are not with Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and don’t obey Him ﷻ are nothing but harm to people. That is the duty of shaytan. And people who are like him, don’t want anything except harm. They do everything in accordance with their own personal interests. They don’t mind Halal or Haram. They have neither pity nor mercy.
People should pay attention to what they eat, what they drink and to everything; not only spiritually, but physically as well. In order to earn profit, the most important thing for them is not to not cause suffering to people or to serve people, but to have people serving them instead; so that people serve their interests. They can do everything without any pity for people. We see that the whole world is functioning in that way. Either by a disease, or drugs, or by all kinds of tricks, they are putting their personal interests above everyone else. No one is more important than their own interests.
Therefore, mankind, those who are alive should beware. As we said, they are cheating in food and drinks, in all kinds of things. They have mixed badness in everything. We should be careful as much as we can against their traps. Many people are unaware of it, of course. They get harmed and are gone just like that. But Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla writes a reward for everything to the person who is on the way of Allah ﷻ. A person who is not on the way of Allah ﷻ goes for nothing then. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil. May Allah ﷻ protect us from evil people and the evil of shaytan.
More important than the physical harm is the spiritual harm. To mislead people and make them do things contrary to human nature, to claim that this is what people want themselves, cause harm to them and mislead them is taking them out of humanity. Europe and the entire West have become a slave to them. They act as they are asked to, and they deny human nature. They accept the ego of people. They don’t accept it but do whatever it tells them to do, and the consequences are not important for them. May Allah ﷻ protect us from their evil. May Allah ﷻ save the people there from the evil. May there be means for guidance for them insha’Allah. Al-Fatihah.

Strength Is in Community [26/03/2022]
“Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says,
الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا
“The believer to another believer is like [the bricks of] a building, each strengthens the other.” Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that Mu’mins/believers should help each other. Because when together, there is strength and goodness. When alone, there is no benefit. For something to work out, there should be a lot. A house cannot be built with one stone. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is talking about this. People should stick together so that good things are done and so that it is means for goodness. It will be good for both themselves and other believers.
When a believer does something, he should help others as well. To help the needy from all aspects, both physically and spiritually is the order of our Holy Prophet ﷺ and Allah ﷻ. He says, “Stick together”. Believers should stick together so that they support each other. When they don’t, there is no benefit either to themselves or to their Jama’ah/community or to other Muslims. It works when they gather for the goodness of believers.
Otherwise, when unbelievers gather, they don’t do so for goodness. Most of the times, it is for their egos and personal interests. Therefore, they want to divide the believers and don’t want them to come together. They spread Fitnah and immorality between them. If someone is good among them, they feel jealous and envy him. To envy brings no benefit; it is nothing but loss. It is one of the attributes that Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla hates and dislikes the most. For believers to cleanse their hearts from it, they should always do goodness to others. Allah ﷻ will give them spiritual power. If they don’t do goodness, their spiritual power will weaken, and they will be in loss. May Allah ﷻ protect us.
Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, “يَدُ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ”. Allah’s ﷻ Hand of Power is upon the Jama’ah, the community. It is not with the individual but with the community. Therefore, shaytan doesn’t like gatherings and communities, but Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla loves them. The gathering that shaytan likes is a bad gathering that makes up evil things in order to mislead people. The community of believers is for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. It is for their goodness, the goodness of Muslims and the goodness of people. It is for all people, no matter if they are Muslim or not. The communities of Muslims are good for everyone. May Allah ﷻ bless our Jama’ah/community and our gatherings. May Allah ﷻ protect them from the evil. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.”

THE WAY OF HAQQ

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.
May there always be Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. No matter how much we make Shukr, it is not enough. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, we had a trip for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله; we went safely and came back safely. Insha’Allah with the Barakah and presence of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, these things are going on. His Barakah and Himmah are everlasting.
The love of our brothers there and they themselves are increasing. It is the same everywhere. It has been two years since we couldn’t go for a trip to Europe. Masha’Allah, they have become 3 or 5 times more. They’ve already had lots of love, and it has increased. As they love this way of Haqq/ truth, they keep on the way of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim who showed them this love. They keep on the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And whoever is granted this and loves him صلى الله عليه وسلم, attains the kindness of Allah جل جلاله. Not everyone wants to leave their egos and the desires of their egos and follow this way. The ego predominates more. People who come to this way attain the kindness of Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله has granted this way to them, this beautiful way.
Most of the people are after Dunya, their ego and their desires. They don’t pay any attention to this. And those who go on that path are unfortunate people. They fall into all kinds of troubles. They don’t know where they come from. If they do, they will come to the right way so that their sufferings turn into benefit for them. But now there is no benefit. They put blame on this and that. Their minds are capable of that only. Whereas if they knew that
خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ مِنَاللَّهِ تَعَالَى
both goodness and badness are from Allah جل جلاله, they wouldn’t be so upset. And all their sufferings would be of benefit for them. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “I am amazed by the condition of believers; everything always turns out well for them”. Whatever looks like evil is good and the good is good for them. Nothing turns out bad. Otherwise, people who are with shaytan are always in loss and suffering.
Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, He جل جلاله put us on this way. Insha’Allah may there be means for guidance for people. People are in need. They don’t know what they need. But the real need is spirituality, Iman in Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and love of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. There are people who can show them this way. But many people obey their egos. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
May Allah جل جلاله make us all steadfast on this way insha’Allah. Because nevertheless, we have to be careful; may we not suddenly slip and perish.

A MAQAM UNTIL QIYAMAH
23 March 2022/ 20 Sha’ban 1443
Fajr Prayer, Sheikh Nazim Dergah – London
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says:
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
(Qur’ān 10:62).
‘‘Alā inna Awliyā’ Llahi lā kḥawfun ‘alayhim wa lā hum yaḥzanūn’’,
‘’Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’’
Awliya’uLlah are the beloved of Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله loves them. And they don’t have any anxiousness or any sadness or any unhappiness because they are with Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
AlhamduliLlah Mawlana Sheikh lived many years here in this place (Sheikh Nazim Dergah in St. Anne’s, London). Also in Peckham Mosque. Many Ramadans, for three months, he was here and there. The place where Awliya’uLlah stay for 40 days becomes a Maqam. When you visit, he is present there and you take Barakah. This is for Awliya’uLlah. Allah جل جلاله gave them this thing to help people. Because the only Reality is Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, we are all like a dream. But the place where a Maqam is, where it is for worshipping, for calling for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, for Hidayah/ guidance, for the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, to teach the love of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the love of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, it must be a Maqam for them until Qiyamah insha’Allah.
For this, Mawlana Sheikh says that when somebody has some issue, he can visit a Maqam, pray two Rak’aahs and ask Allah جل جلاله for what he wants. For this, people who are near here or other place, sometimes you can go and remember Mashayikh. Especially, many of our people have missed those days. Ramadan with Mawlana was like a feast; in Peckham for Tarawih and here for Sohbet and meeting. They were very nice days. So you can take this Barakah when you go visit and go for the sake of Allah, for Allah to help you or for the sake of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam also, to continue this.
AlhamduliLlah Mawlana was very happy with this Mosque and Peckham Mosque and other Mosques. They become full masha’Allah every time. Every time, more and more people are coming, people who love them. From the love of Awliya, they love Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam and love Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is their teaching, and they are happy when more people are coming.
Alhamdulila we are thankful for them because with their Barakah, Allah جل جلاله gives us. We cannot take this place with us when we pass away. With their Barakah, [there is] this Khidmah in this city in the middle of Europe, we are saying “Allah”, mentioning Allah .جل جلاله and Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. This is a big favor that they have done for us. We are thankful for them. We are thankful for Allah جل جلاله that He جل جلاله gave us such a good thing. This is what we are in need for, not other things. The most important thing in our life is this insha’Allah – Iman and love of Allah جل جلاله love of Islam and love of Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. This is Iman. Before, in Central Mosque [they asked], “What is Iman? What is Islam?” We are in Islam and more, with Iman. Not only Islam, we are in Islam and Iman. Iman is different. May Allah جل جلاله bless them insha’Allah.
Normally, alhamduliLlah Mawlana was coming here from Rajab until after Eid. We cannot do this. They have masha’Allah spiritual power to collect all hearts and to bring people together for the love of Allah جل جلاله. We continue with their Barakah insha’Allah. With their Barakah, all these new people are coming. We thank them. And now Ramadan is coming, may Allah جل جلاله make it Mubarak/ blessed for all of you. May Allah جل جلاله keep you safe. Now we are in the end of times, there is Fitnah everywhere, there is war everywhere. But don’t worry. If you have Iman, everything is good for us. May Allah جل جلاله keep us safe and may Allah جل جلاله keep our Iman safe insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله make us beloved for Him جل جلاله insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

DON’T CHEAT OR BE CHEATED
22 March 2022/ 19 Sha’ban 1443
Fajr Prayer, Sheikh Nazim Dergah – London
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says,
مَن غَشَّنَا فَلَيسَ مِنَّا
He who cheats us is not from us; not from Mu’mins, not from Muslims. You are the follower of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, and what the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says we must keep. We mustn’t listen and not do. This is a Naseeha/ Advice from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and is [mentioned] in the whole Qur’an also: to not cheat and not to be cheated. You must be careful because if you’re not awake, they will cheat you a lot.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla also says in the Qur’an for people that if they’re doing this, cheating people with anything, they have a special hell for them; they will be there. When you buy or sell or trade, you must be honest and you must be careful. You must say “I will buy this for that much [amount].” Or when you sell, “I will sell this for this amount.” Because on Judgement Day, they will ask for everything. Like here in Dunya, when the tax department asks what is this, what is that. This also will be asked, “You sold this as 1 Kg, it is less than 1 Kg.” For this you must say, and if you don’t give it exactly, you will be asked and you will be punished for this.
These are for the daily things, but what’s worse than this is to cheat people with religion. To say, “This must be like this” especially for your benefit. If you do this, you will be punished more than who cheats by Kg or meter or yard. It is not a joke.
Religion of Islam keeps every good thing for people, it is very sensitive. It says that you can put more from you, but don’t take from people. They cheat us, they cheat all Muslims saying, “You are wrong, don’t do this, you will be out of religion, you will be Mushrik, you will be Kafir.” This is worse than cheating by Kg or yard or meter. You must be careful to not be cheated. You must look when somebody tells you something, if it is accepted by Shariah and by Tariqah. If you don’t know this even, you must think in your mind.
Everybody has intelligence, less or more, they can think. If you suspect in one thing and you don’t know exactly, you must ask. Because if you are from the beginning going to the wrong way, you will end with nothing. You will be cheated and many things will be gone from you, from your belief, or from your money, or from anything else. For this, a Mu’min must be awake. May Allah جل جلاله save us from these people.
Everywhere now, they are waiting like hunters to hunt people. If it was for money only, it is easy. But they want many other things. Especially money also, many people say, “We gave money for this project and after that, nothing” You must be careful for this also. You must look after your money because this is provision from Allah جل جلاله that He جل جلاله gave you, so don’t waste it.
May Allah جل جلاله help us and make us awake insha’Allah to not lose anything from what Allah جل جلاله gives us.

SAFE IN DUNYA AND AKHIRAH
19 March 2022/ 16 Sha’ban 1443
Woking, Uk.
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
AlhamduliLlah Allah جل جلاله made this happen, to meet again in England. We visited many cities and gave Sohbets. And this is the last Sohbet [we will give] for outside the Dergah in St. Anne’s. We are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, insha’Allah we meet again with the Barakah of Allah جل جلاله and Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam.
Time is passing quickly, running quickly. 35 years ago, we were here with Mawlana for the burial of my wife, she was very young. Mawlana was here and he attended her Janazah. And since that time, insha’Allah everytime we come, we visit here. It is the end of the tour.
These people, Al Saliheen wal Salihat/ The Righteous Men and Women, are Barakah for [the place] where they are. This is a blessing from Allah جل جلاله. Because they said, “Maybe we take her to Damascus, to Sham to burry her” but Mawlana did not accept. He said, “Where a person passes away, it is better to hurry to burry him in that place.” Because there areangels/ Malaika who have a job to carry Al Saliheen wal Salihat to Makkah, Madinah, or to Damascus. No need to take them by plane or by car to burry them where you’d like. You can burry them where they die, and these angels will take them to where is best for them.
And the other imporant subject also is that who’s burried in Makkah, Madinah, Damascus or in a holy place, if they do not deserve this, they also take them from there and put them in another place. Don’t think that those who do not respect the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم , and do not respect the Sahabah and Ahlu l-Bayt can be there. That those who are making Fitnah, if they die there and are buried there, that they will be there – it is not acceptable for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. They quickly take them and throw them in another place.
This has happened many times. One of them was in the Ottoman time. She was a Christian princess but she became Muslim. She loved one Muslim man. And with his love, she loved Islam and became Muslim. Her father was angry with her and didn’t let her to marry him or to go out. From this love for him and for Islam, day after day, she became very ill and she passed away. They burried her in a place. This Muslim guy found a way, he said: “She is Muslim, we must take her to a Muslim graveyard and not let her burried under Christian or non-Muslim graveyard. This is not suitable for her. We must at least do that for her.” He found a way and opened her grave, and he was very surprised. He was looking and she was not there. What was there? One Munafik/ hypocrite from his village, Allah جل جلاله put him there. And when he came back to the village, he asked “Who died here?” They said “This man” [the hypocrite]. They quickly opened the grave, and they saw her in this grave, alhamduliLlah. This has happened many times. This is one example from the history of the Ottomans. There are many of them like this.
So a Mu’min/ believer whom Allah جل جلاله loves, Allah جل جلاله will not leave him in this Dunya or Akhirah to be away from Him جل جلاله. All the time, he will be with Him جل جلاله . For this, we are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for the Ni’mah of Islam and the Ni’mah to be following our Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, and connecting to him صلى الله عليه وسلم. If you are not in Tariqah, you cannot connect to the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. All the Imam of Madhahib were connecting with the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam; this is Tariqah. Tariqah means – first [coming] from Sahabah, from Sayyidina Abu Bakr or Sayyidina Ali, after the Sahabah comes Tabi’in then Tabi al-Tabi’in. All of this, one by one. They gave the Khilafah from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, counting one after one, until today I take this Ijazah and from this Ijazah, I give you this Ijazah. From one to one, so there is nothing wrong between this.
But those who are saying, “We are doing good, no need for Tariqah.” They are going on maybe a little bit, and after that it will be cut and they are beginning a new thing. New thing – this is what’s as they say “Bid’ah”. Bid’ah is not what Wahhabi [people] are saying that Tariqah is Bid’ah. Real Bid’ah are those who are not following Tariqah.
Tariqah is like a chain from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam to the end of times, to Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. When Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām comes, that time there will be no Madhhab, no Tariqah.
Because all must be One: Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. This was what Mawlana Sheikh was saying to people and many people were misunderstanding, thinking that from now Tariqah is finished. No, Tariqah is from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam until Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām, connected together with a strong chain.
And when reaching the end of times, everybody must follow Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām. He is
“مُجْتَهِد مُطْلَق”
“Absolute Mujtahid”. What he is saying, it is Tariqah, it is Shari’ah, it is Madhhab; all in One: Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. Why this? Because in that time, as there will be no religion except Islam in the whole world, also not anything, or a second thing will be over what Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām orders. He orders something, “We can do this like the other Madhhab, or like another thing” No. Who is following the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam must understand. This is his صلى الله عليه وسلم successor and whom the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam gave good tidings about, saying: “There will come from my lineage one whose name is Muhammad. His father’s name is like my father’s name, and his mother’s name is also like my mother’s name.” This is a Hadith of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. So it will be in this time, time of Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām. We will also make Bay’ah with him and insha’Allah we will be with him. This will be:
“عَصْرُ السَعَاْدَة الثَانِي”,
The Second Century of Happiness”, The Century of every good thing.
As we said, after this you cannot say we are Muslim but we are following a different way, no; no different, only one at that time. Now it is okay because we don’t have enough power to collect all of them. So everybody must follow Tariqah, and with Tariqah also Madhhab. Don’t forget this and don’t misunderstand. And with this also you must respect the Sahabah, especially the three Sahabah, Khulafa’i RasuluLlah صلى الله عليه وسلم - who many shaytan people don’t accept - Sayyidina Abu Bakr, Sayyidina Omar and Sayyidina Othman radiya Llahu ‘anhum. Because many people claim that they are from Tariqah, and they are not respecting them and they even say bad words about them. This is not Tariqah, this is outside Tariqah and outside Islam also; no respect for the Prophet صلى الله

Beware of Physical and Spiritual Harm (27.03.2022)
In this time we are living in, people should beware. All people, regardless of being Muslim or not, should beware and guarded against the evil. They should know which is good and which is bad. However, what is shown as bad turns out as good most of the time. People who show things as bad are evil people themselves. They are bad people. And what is shown as good is bad for people, because the things they show are contrary to human nature. They do so from all aspects. It serves their personal interests and harms people at the same time.
Those who are not with Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and don’t obey Him ﷻ are nothing but harm to people. That is the duty of shaytan. And people who are like him, don’t want anything except harm. They do everything in accordance with their own personal interests. They don’t mind Halal or Haram. They have neither pity nor mercy.
People should pay attention to what they eat, what they drink and to everything; not only spiritually, but physically as well. In order to earn profit, the most important thing for them is not to not cause suffering to people or to serve people, but to have people serving them instead; so that people serve their interests. They can do everything without any pity for people. We see that the whole world is functioning in that way. Either by a disease, or drugs, or by all kinds of tricks, they are putting their personal interests above everyone else. No one is more important than their own interests.
Therefore, mankind, those who are alive should beware. As we said, they are cheating in food and drinks, in all kinds of things. They have mixed badness in everything. We should be careful as much as we can against their traps. Many people are unaware of it, of course. They get harmed and are gone just like that. But Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla writes a reward for everything to the person who is on the way of Allah ﷻ. A person who is not on the way of Allah ﷻ goes for nothing then. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil. May Allah ﷻ protect us from evil people and the evil of shaytan.
More important than the physical harm is the spiritual harm. To mislead people and make them do things contrary to human nature, to claim that this is what people want themselves, cause harm to them and mislead them is taking them out of humanity. Europe and the entire West have become a slave to them. They act as they are asked to, and they deny human nature. They accept the ego of people. They don’t accept it but do whatever it tells them to do, and the consequences are not important for them. May Allah ﷻ protect us from their evil. May Allah ﷻ save the people there from the evil. May there be means for guidance for them insha’Allah. Al-Fatihah.

Strength Is in Community [26/03/2022]
“Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says,
الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا
“The believer to another believer is like [the bricks of] a building, each strengthens the other.” Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that Mu’mins/believers should help each other. Because when together, there is strength and goodness. When alone, there is no benefit. For something to work out, there should be a lot. A house cannot be built with one stone. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is talking about this. People should stick together so that good things are done and so that it is means for goodness. It will be good for both themselves and other believers.
When a believer does something, he should help others as well. To help the needy from all aspects, both physically and spiritually is the order of our Holy Prophet ﷺ and Allah ﷻ. He says, “Stick together”. Believers should stick together so that they support each other. When they don’t, there is no benefit either to themselves or to their Jama’ah/community or to other Muslims. It works when they gather for the goodness of believers.
Otherwise, when unbelievers gather, they don’t do so for goodness. Most of the times, it is for their egos and personal interests. Therefore, they want to divide the believers and don’t want them to come together. They spread Fitnah and immorality between them. If someone is good among them, they feel jealous and envy him. To envy brings no benefit; it is nothing but loss. It is one of the attributes that Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla hates and dislikes the most. For believers to cleanse their hearts from it, they should always do goodness to others. Allah ﷻ will give them spiritual power. If they don’t do goodness, their spiritual power will weaken, and they will be in loss. May Allah ﷻ protect us.
Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, “يَدُ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ”. Allah’s ﷻ Hand of Power is upon the Jama’ah, the community. It is not with the individual but with the community. Therefore, shaytan doesn’t like gatherings and communities, but Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla loves them. The gathering that shaytan likes is a bad gathering that makes up evil things in order to mislead people. The community of believers is for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. It is for their goodness, the goodness of Muslims and the goodness of people. It is for all people, no matter if they are Muslim or not. The communities of Muslims are good for everyone. May Allah ﷻ bless our Jama’ah/community and our gatherings. May Allah ﷻ protect them from the evil. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.”

THE WAY OF HAQQ

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.
May there always be Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. No matter how much we make Shukr, it is not enough. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, we had a trip for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله; we went safely and came back safely. Insha’Allah with the Barakah and presence of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, these things are going on. His Barakah and Himmah are everlasting.
The love of our brothers there and they themselves are increasing. It is the same everywhere. It has been two years since we couldn’t go for a trip to Europe. Masha’Allah, they have become 3 or 5 times more. They’ve already had lots of love, and it has increased. As they love this way of Haqq/ truth, they keep on the way of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim who showed them this love. They keep on the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And whoever is granted this and loves him صلى الله عليه وسلم, attains the kindness of Allah جل جلاله. Not everyone wants to leave their egos and the desires of their egos and follow this way. The ego predominates more. People who come to this way attain the kindness of Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله has granted this way to them, this beautiful way.
Most of the people are after Dunya, their ego and their desires. They don’t pay any attention to this. And those who go on that path are unfortunate people. They fall into all kinds of troubles. They don’t know where they come from. If they do, they will come to the right way so that their sufferings turn into benefit for them. But now there is no benefit. They put blame on this and that. Their minds are capable of that only. Whereas if they knew that
خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ مِنَاللَّهِ تَعَالَى
both goodness and badness are from Allah جل جلاله, they wouldn’t be so upset. And all their sufferings would be of benefit for them. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “I am amazed by the condition of believers; everything always turns out well for them”. Whatever looks like evil is good and the good is good for them. Nothing turns out bad. Otherwise, people who are with shaytan are always in loss and suffering.
Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, He جل جلاله put us on this way. Insha’Allah may there be means for guidance for people. People are in need. They don’t know what they need. But the real need is spirituality, Iman in Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and love of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. There are people who can show them this way. But many people obey their egos. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
May Allah جل جلاله make us all steadfast on this way insha’Allah. Because nevertheless, we have to be careful; may we not suddenly slip and perish.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

A MAQAM UNTIL QIYAMAH
23 March 2022/ 20 Sha’ban 1443
Fajr Prayer, Sheikh Nazim Dergah – London
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says:
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
(Qur’ān 10:62).
‘‘Alā inna Awliyā’ Llahi lā kḥawfun ‘alayhim wa lā hum yaḥzanūn’’,
‘’Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’’
Awliya’uLlah are the beloved of Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله loves them. And they don’t have any anxiousness or any sadness or any unhappiness because they are with Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
AlhamduliLlah Mawlana Sheikh lived many years here in this place (Sheikh Nazim Dergah in St. Anne’s, London). Also in Peckham Mosque. Many Ramadans, for three months, he was here and there. The place where Awliya’uLlah stay for 40 days becomes a Maqam. When you visit, he is present there and you take Barakah. This is for Awliya’uLlah. Allah جل جلاله gave them this thing to help people. Because the only Reality is Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, we are all like a dream. But the place where a Maqam is, where it is for worshipping, for calling for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, for Hidayah/ guidance, for the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, to teach the love of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the love of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, it must be a Maqam for them until Qiyamah insha’Allah.
For this, Mawlana Sheikh says that when somebody has some issue, he can visit a Maqam, pray two Rak’aahs and ask Allah جل جلاله for what he wants. For this, people who are near here or other place, sometimes you can go and remember Mashayikh. Especially, many of our people have missed those days. Ramadan with Mawlana was like a feast; in Peckham for Tarawih and here for Sohbet and meeting. They were very nice days. So you can take this Barakah when you go visit and go for the sake of Allah, for Allah to help you or for the sake of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam also, to continue this.
AlhamduliLlah Mawlana was very happy with this Mosque and Peckham Mosque and other Mosques. They become full masha’Allah every time. Every time, more and more people are coming, people who love them. From the love of Awliya, they love Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam and love Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is their teaching, and they are happy when more people are coming.
Alhamdulila we are thankful for them because with their Barakah, Allah جل جلاله gives us. We cannot take this place with us when we pass away. With their Barakah, [there is] this Khidmah in this city in the middle of Europe, we are saying “Allah”, mentioning Allah .جل جلاله and Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. This is a big favor that they have done for us. We are thankful for them. We are thankful for Allah جل جلاله that He جل جلاله gave us such a good thing. This is what we are in need for, not other things. The most important thing in our life is this insha’Allah – Iman and love of Allah جل جلاله love of Islam and love of Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. This is Iman. Before, in Central Mosque [they asked], “What is Iman? What is Islam?” We are in Islam and more, with Iman. Not only Islam, we are in Islam and Iman. Iman is different. May Allah جل جلاله bless them insha’Allah.
Normally, alhamduliLlah Mawlana was coming here from Rajab until after Eid. We cannot do this. They have masha’Allah spiritual power to collect all hearts and to bring people together for the love of Allah جل جلاله. We continue with their Barakah insha’Allah. With their Barakah, all these new people are coming. We thank them. And now Ramadan is coming, may Allah جل جلاله make it Mubarak/ blessed for all of you. May Allah جل جلاله keep you safe. Now we are in the end of times, there is Fitnah everywhere, there is war everywhere. But don’t worry. If you have Iman, everything is good for us. May Allah جل جلاله keep us safe and may Allah جل جلاله keep our Iman safe insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله make us beloved for Him جل جلاله insha’Allah.

DON’T CHEAT OR BE CHEATED
22 March 2022/ 19 Sha’ban 1443
Fajr Prayer, Sheikh Nazim Dergah – London
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says,
مَن غَشَّنَا فَلَيسَ مِنَّا
He who cheats us is not from us; not from Mu’mins, not from Muslims. You are the follower of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, and what the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says we must keep. We mustn’t listen and not do. This is a Naseeha/ Advice from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and is [mentioned] in the whole Qur’an also: to not cheat and not to be cheated. You must be careful because if you’re not awake, they will cheat you a lot.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla also says in the Qur’an for people that if they’re doing this, cheating people with anything, they have a special hell for them; they will be there. When you buy or sell or trade, you must be honest and you must be careful. You must say “I will buy this for that much [amount].” Or when you sell, “I will sell this for this amount.” Because on Judgement Day, they will ask for everything. Like here in Dunya, when the tax department asks what is this, what is that. This also will be asked, “You sold this as 1 Kg, it is less than 1 Kg.” For this you must say, and if you don’t give it exactly, you will be asked and you will be punished for this.
These are for the daily things, but what’s worse than this is to cheat people with religion. To say, “This must be like this” especially for your benefit. If you do this, you will be punished more than who cheats by Kg or meter or yard. It is not a joke.
Religion of Islam keeps every good thing for people, it is very sensitive. It says that you can put more from you, but don’t take from people. They cheat us, they cheat all Muslims saying, “You are wrong, don’t do this, you will be out of religion, you will be Mushrik, you will be Kafir.” This is worse than cheating by Kg or yard or meter. You must be careful to not be cheated. You must look when somebody tells you something, if it is accepted by Shariah and by Tariqah. If you don’t know this even, you must think in your mind.
Everybody has intelligence, less or more, they can think. If you suspect in one thing and you don’t know exactly, you must ask. Because if you are from the beginning going to the wrong way, you will end with nothing. You will be cheated and many things will be gone from you, from your belief, or from your money, or from anything else. For this, a Mu’min must be awake. May Allah جل جلاله save us from these people.
Everywhere now, they are waiting like hunters to hunt people. If it was for money only, it is easy. But they want many other things. Especially money also, many people say, “We gave money for this project and after that, nothing” You must be careful for this also. You must look after your money because this is provision from Allah جل جلاله that He جل جلاله gave you, so don’t waste it.
May Allah جل جلاله help us and make us awake insha’Allah to not lose anything from what Allah جل جلاله gives us.

SAFE IN DUNYA AND AKHIRAH
19 March 2022/ 16 Sha’ban 1443
Woking, Uk.
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
AlhamduliLlah Allah جل جلاله made this happen, to meet again in England. We visited many cities and gave Sohbets. And this is the last Sohbet [we will give] for outside the Dergah in St. Anne’s. We are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, insha’Allah we meet again with the Barakah of Allah جل جلاله and Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam.
Time is passing quickly, running quickly. 35 years ago, we were here with Mawlana for the burial of my wife, she was very young. Mawlana was here and he attended her Janazah. And since that time, insha’Allah everytime we come, we visit here. It is the end of the tour.
These people, Al Saliheen wal Salihat/ The Righteous Men and Women, are Barakah for [the place] where they are. This is a blessing from Allah جل جلاله. Because they said, “Maybe we take her to Damascus, to Sham to burry her” but Mawlana did not accept. He said, “Where a person passes away, it is better to hurry to burry him in that place.” Because there areangels/ Malaika who have a job to carry Al Saliheen wal Salihat to Makkah, Madinah, or to Damascus. No need to take them by plane or by car to burry them where you’d like. You can burry them where they die, and these angels will take them to where is best for them.
And the other imporant subject also is that who’s burried in Makkah, Madinah, Damascus or in a holy place, if they do not deserve this, they also take them from there and put them in another place. Don’t think that those who do not respect the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم , and do not respect the Sahabah and Ahlu l-Bayt can be there. That those who are making Fitnah, if they die there and are buried there, that they will be there – it is not acceptable for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. They quickly take them and throw them in another place.
This has happened many times. One of them was in the Ottoman time. She was a Christian princess but she became Muslim. She loved one Muslim man. And with his love, she loved Islam and became Muslim. Her father was angry with her and didn’t let her to marry him or to go out. From this love for him and for Islam, day after day, she became very ill and she passed away. They burried her in a place. This Muslim guy found a way, he said: “She is Muslim, we must take her to a Muslim graveyard and not let her burried under Christian or non-Muslim graveyard. This is not suitable for her. We must at least do that for her.” He found a way and opened her grave, and he was very surprised. He was looking and she was not there. What was there? One Munafik/ hypocrite from his village, Allah جل جلاله put him there. And when he came back to the village, he asked “Who died here?” They said “This man” [the hypocrite]. They quickly opened the grave, and they saw her in this grave, alhamduliLlah. This has happened many times. This is one example from the history of the Ottomans. There are many of them like this.
So a Mu’min/ believer whom Allah جل جلاله loves, Allah جل جلاله will not leave him in this Dunya or Akhirah to be away from Him جل جلاله. All the time, he will be with Him جل جلاله . For this, we are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for the Ni’mah of Islam and the Ni’mah to be following our Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, and connecting to him صلى الله عليه وسلم. If you are not in Tariqah, you cannot connect to the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. All the Imam of Madhahib were connecting with the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam; this is Tariqah. Tariqah means – first [coming] from Sahabah, from Sayyidina Abu Bakr or Sayyidina Ali, after the Sahabah comes Tabi’in then Tabi al-Tabi’in. All of this, one by one. They gave the Khilafah from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, counting one after one, until today I take this Ijazah and from this Ijazah, I give you this Ijazah. From one to one, so there is nothing wrong between this.
But those who are saying, “We are doing good, no need for Tariqah.” They are going on maybe a little bit, and after that it will be cut and they are beginning a new thing. New thing – this is what’s as they say “Bid’ah”. Bid’ah is not what Wahhabi [people] are saying that Tariqah is Bid’ah. Real Bid’ah are those who are not following Tariqah.
Tariqah is like a chain from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam to the end of times, to Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. When Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām comes, that time there will be no Madhhab, no Tariqah.
Because all must be One: Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. This was what Mawlana Sheikh was saying to people and many people were misunderstanding, thinking that from now Tariqah is finished. No, Tariqah is from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam until Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām, connected together with a strong chain.
And when reaching the end of times, everybody must follow Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām. He is
“مُجْتَهِد مُطْلَق”
“Absolute Mujtahid”. What he is saying, it is Tariqah, it is Shari’ah, it is Madhhab; all in One: Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. Why this? Because in that time, as there will be no religion except Islam in the whole world, also not anything, or a second thing will be over what Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām orders. He orders something, “We can do this like the other Madhhab, or like another thing” No. Who is following the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam must understand. This is his صلى الله عليه وسلم successor and whom the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam gave good tidings about, saying: “There will come from my lineage one whose name is Muhammad. His father’s name is like my father’s name, and his mother’s name is also like my mother’s name.” This is a Hadith of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. So it will be in this time, time of Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām. We will also make Bay’ah with him and insha’Allah we will be with him. This will be:
“عَصْرُ السَعَاْدَة الثَانِي”,
The Second Century of Happiness”, The Century of every good thing.
As we said, after this you cannot say we are Muslim but we are following a different way, no; no different, only one at that time. Now it is okay because we don’t have enough power to collect all of them. So everybody must follow Tariqah, and with Tariqah also Madhhab. Don’t forget this and don’t misunderstand. And with this also you must respect the Sahabah, especially the three Sahabah, Khulafa’i RasuluLlah صلى الله عليه وسلم - who many shaytan people don’t accept - Sayyidina Abu Bakr, Sayyidina Omar and Sayyidina Othman radiya Llahu ‘anhum. Because many people claim that they are from Tariqah, and they are not respecting them and they even say bad words about them. This is not Tariqah, this is outside Tariqah and outside Islam also; no respect for the Prophet صلى الله
