āh ﷻdoesn't oppress anyone. People oppress themselves. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.
Inshā’Allāh our final destination is good. Both here and hereafter is good. Because when people start a trip, when they go somewhere without knowing, they don't feel relaxed. When there is a place they know, they go on the way they know and reach safely. May Allāh ﷻ take us all to safety inshā’Allāh.

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.
�‘Īd Mubarak to everyone! May it be good inshā’Allāh. It is a feast granted by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to the Ummah. Our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “You had two feasts. One is Nawruz and the other is Mihrajan” when he came to Al-Madīnah Al Munawwarah. They used to entertain themselves on these days and celebrate them. These were holidays which were not given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla but made up by themselves. “Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave you something that is better”, he ﷺ said. Something given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla indeed has goodness in it.
The first is ‘Īd al-Fiṭr, and the second is ‘Īd al-’Aḍḥā. These two days are given to you by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They are holy days. Both their day and night are holy. There is no fasting on these days. In order for people to celebrate by eating and drinking, by being happy, these days were given as blessed and good days for people in this world to eat and drink as they like, to visit places and people. Allāh ﷻ writes Thawab in return for it to people who do these.
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, these holidays are two holidays. But there are numerous days that other people call holidays. They have the New Year, the pumpkin feast or the aubergine feast etc. They are not holidays. The real holidays are the two ‘Īds that Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla granted to people, to the Ummah of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. To show respect to them is to show respect to Islām. There is a lot of wisdom for it in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. In order to show mercy to people, in order for the door of mercy to be open, Allāh ‘Āzza wa Jalla gave all kinds of opportunities.
All Muslims are celebrating these feasts now and congratulating each other on it; all Muslims. But not all Muslims actually fast. If you say praying, most don't pray. But they celebrate ‘Īd. Even those who don't pray the ‘Īd prayer, who don't fast and who do all kinds of things, celebrate these feasts. That is a favor of Allāh ﷻ to these people, for when they remember and celebrate the feast given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, it brings benefit to them.
Certainly, praying and other things have a different account. And this has a different account. To celebrate and show respect to it, to honor and not to forget it doesn't go in vain in the presence of Allāh ﷻ. It is one of its wisdoms. As we said, even when those who don't do any good deeds do this thing, celebrating the day made holy by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla strengthens faith in their hearts inshā’Allāh. And it becomes the means for their salvation. This is also its wisdom.
Therefore, these days are holy days. We are saying it once again: ʿĪd al-Fiṭr and ‘Īd al-’Aḍḥā. The rest are not holidays. They are just occasions. There are religious and non-religious occasions. They are useless. They are completely useless. They are useful neither here nor hereafter. Therefore, show respect to these days and honor them. They have great benefit both apparently and spiritually.
MayAllāh ﷻ bless them. May they be means for guidance for people inshā’Allāh.

Better than Anything in Dunya
30 Ramadan 1443
Mawlana Sheikh Nazim Dergah - Lefke
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
(Qur’ān 10:58).
‘’Qul bifaḍli Llahi wa biraḥmatihi fabidhālika falyafraḥū huwa khayrun mimmā yajma‘ūn”
Say, “In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy - in that let them rejoice”; that is better than what they accumulate.’’
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says that whoever attains the mercy of Allāh ﷻ and His ﷻ virtuous kindness should rejoice and be happy. The best thing has happened to him. Some things happen in this world, but people don't know. They don't know what to be happy for, what to do and how to comfort their hearts. They are running after useless things which don't bring any benefit.
It is the last day of the holy Ramaḍān. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, because we did what Allāh ﷻordered as much as we can this Ramaḍān, Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we are happy on the inside. Allāh ﷻ has given peace, for we did it according to His ﷻ will, and He ﷻ gave it out of His ﷻgenerosity. We make Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we praise Allāh ﷻ for fasting, praying and walking on this way as much as we could during this Ramaḍān. Allāh ﷻ has granted us these things. He ﷻ gave us these beauties. We make Shukr to Him ﷻ and praise Him ﷻ. We are happy for doing this - that He ﷻ let us do it; to be more precise.
Many people don't want to do, they don't do or cannot do. And it is not meant for them. The goodness, charity, Thawāb, light and Barakah given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, when people miss them once, even if they do it again for the rest of their lives, they can't have it. They cannot attain the Thawāb and beneficence of that day. We must make Shukr for it. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says to be happy for it.
فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
‘‘Fabidhālika falyafraḥū huwa khayrun mimmā yajma‘ūn’’
‘’In that let them rejoice; that is better than what they accumulate.”(Qur’ān 10:58).
To be happy for it is much better than what you collect in Dunyā. You shouldn't be happy for the money and wealth you collect in this world, but feel happy when you are given such things, when Allāh ﷻ gives them to you. You earn Thawāb. Otherwise, mankind loses very big things. They don't attain great things then. As we said, its virtue is that Allāh ﷻ has given us from His ﷻ endless treasures. Our Shukr is little. We make very little Shukr to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Therefore, Shukr to Allāh ﷻ we spent this very beautiful month and these beautiful days. There was no illness. Anything could happen, but there was no obstacle. We completed it and finished it beautifully Shukr to Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ let us reach more years, more Ramaḍāns and better days. Better days will come inshā’Allāh. The end of darkness is light. Certainly, those days will come inshā’Allāh. We are waiting for those days inshā’Allāh. Until those days come, may Allāh ﷻ grant us these beauties and not deprive us from them inshā’Allāh.

Happiness from the Beauty of Islām
Mawlana Sheikh Nazim Dergah - Lefke
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.
It is a good deed to give happiness to a believer’s heart:
“إِدْخَالُ السُّرُورِ في قَلْبِ الْمُؤْمِنِ”
“Idkhālu s-surūr fi l-qalbi l-Mumin”, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ. To give beauty and happiness to a believer’s heart is a great deed. Thawāb is written in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
There are all kinds of beauty in Islām. When good things are done, they are accepted in Islām. To do good things, to help and make all kinds of charity between Muslims is goodness and it is beautiful. But the evil is ugly. Therefore, more goodness and charity are made in the month of Ramaḍān. With invitations and Ifṭār, it passes beautifully.
We have come to its end now. Apparently, they still do it in some mosques. After the 15th or the 20th, they recite a Qaṣīdah saying “Al Wadaa” bidding farewell to it. They say goodbye to this holy month, this beautiful month. Of course, it is a bit difficult for some people. But even if it is difficult, that beauty is comprehended even better. By the favor of Allāh ﷻ and the blessing of Allāh ﷻ, the more difficult it is for people, the more virtues and comfort are given to them. Therefore, all kinds of goodness and charity made in this month are met with great reward in the presence of Allāh ﷻ. And He ﷻ has rewarded us inshā’Allāh.
There is last Tarāwīh Prayer tonight, and tomorrow is the last day of fasting. And afterwards, after ‘Īd, people go back to their old conditions. There is no suffering in hell in this month. The shayṭāns are locked up. We cannot count all the virtues of this month. These are very virtuous months, especially this third month, the month of Ramaḍān. It was granted as the most virtuous to Ummati Muḥammad ﷺ by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, may Allāh ﷻbless it.
We bid farewell, as people never know if they will reach next year or not. That's why they say “Al Wadaa”, goodbye to this month. May Allāh ﷻ grant us to reach it again. May it be even more beautiful with these beautiful things inshā’Allāh, with the light of Islām, with the appearance of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām, for this world is going worse day by day. They say it is sinking. It is sinking badly. People have no hope. Only Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām will change everything. It is impossible otherwise. It won't work by putting a patch here and a stitch there. All of this evil system of shayṭān must be changed to the system of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla for people to be relieved. May Allāh ﷻ show those days inshā’Allāh.
We hope that next year Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes inshā’Allāh. This is our Du‘ā’. Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim used to say to make Du‘ā’ that Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām appears and comes inshā’Allāh.

The Power of Unity
29 April 2022 / 28 Ramadan 1443
Mawlana Sheikh Nazim Dergah - Lefke
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا۟
(Qur’ān 03:103).
‘’Wa-‘taṣimū biḥabli Llāhi jamī‘an wa lā tafarraqū’,’
‘’And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.’’
It is the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Be together and don't be divided, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Everyone knows that power is in unity. Therefore, enemies always want to divide people, to make them argue and fight each other so that Muslims have no power. Even though it is widely known, and as people still follow their egos, they are never uniting and always dividing. They say “You are so and so”, and by using it as a pretext, they forget the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla decides how a person is and what he did.
You should be together with Muslims. You should be with Muslims on the right way so that the grace of Allāh ﷻ is upon you and His ﷻ blessings come to you. You’ll have all kinds of goodness. For people who carry out Allāh's ﷻ orders and obey Him ﷻ, the grace of Allāh ﷻwill reach them. And the help of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will be with people.
Right after our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam they started dividing Muslims. There are many groups who lost their way. Of course, shayṭān is the one who made it to weaken Islām, to finish Islām. But Islām still goes on with the grace of Allāh ﷻ. Of course, as people often act based on this, they don't have the grace of Allāh ﷻ. Because they came against the order, and they didn't preserve the order. Certainly, people have good intentions and bad intentions. Those who have good intentions don't go against their brothers based on others’ words.
Since the last century after the collapse of the Caliphate, while there was one state, it became 50-60 states. And each one is the enemy of the other. And as if that isn't enough, they dislike each other between Madhhabs. And most importantly, people of Tarīqah say, “My Tarīqah is better than yours. Yours is not better.” And in the same way, even those who are in same Tarīqah cannot tolerate each other. Whereas you have joined this way with the favor of Allāh ﷻ. It is the true way, Shukr to Allāh ﷻ. All Tarīqahs are the way, the way that leads to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Forty one Tarīqahs are their way. Their elders are our elders and our patrons. Because they are the beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ. They are not dead, their grace and Madad are always there.
Therefore, no need to obey shayṭān and say, “Your Shaykh is like this. My Shaykh is like that.” You should mind your own duty. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has favoured you and showed you this way. And He ﷻ showed others another way. But the eventual point where they meet is the presence of our Holy Prophet ﷺ.
Therefore, we should pay attention to this. It's fine with common people. Common people means the normal people, they don't understand. “You support this football team. I support that team.” They fight over this with each other and even smash each others heads. Sometimes they even kill.
Ṭarīqahs are not like this. Ṭarīqah means Adab. It is obedience to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Whatever Allāh ﷻ meant for you, as Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim used to say, your heart inclines towards it. It means your fate is there. Keep on your way and make Shukr to Allāh ﷻ for being on this way. Millions of people have no idea about Tarīqah, about the way, about religion or ’īmān. Make Shukr and praise Allāh ﷻ for joining this way. And when you see other people who are in Tarīqah, show them love. Don't harm them and don't make enmity towards them.
Believers are brothers. Mu’mins are brothers, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَ
‘’Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa’’
‘’The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers.’’ (Qur’ān 49:10).
They are brothers, so make peace. Don't make Fitnah among them. May Allāh ﷻ make us all steadfast on this way. May He ﷻ show us the beauty of the way inshā’Allāh.

PUT HIS ﷻ LOVE IN YOUR HEART

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
(Qur’ān 08:45).
“Wa-dhkurū llāha kathīran laʿallakum tufliḥūn”
“And remember Allah much that you may be successful.”
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying to always make Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ. Always remember Allāh ﷻ. Only then there will be salvation and your end will be good.
Dhikr is the prayers and Tasbih we make. To remember Allāh ﷻ in every way is Dhikr. It is the remembrance of Allāh ﷻ. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, the daily duties and all of the Naqshbandī Awrād are things that our Holy Prophet ﷺ did, asked from us and taught us. All of them are in the Sunnah; all the worship performed from the morning prayer until taḥajjud of the next day, Dhikr, Awrād, prayers and Nafl prayers. Farḍ prayers are of course Mu‘akkadah/confirmed. Otherwise, there is Sunnah and Sunnah Mu‘akkadah. There is the Sunnah Mu‘akkadah and Wājib. We keep on following all of them just as the way shown by our Holy Prophet ﷺ and as the Saḥābah did. People who make so will be saved.
Some people ask what else they should do. Keep on doing them and don't make it less. You will do the best thing, and you will give yourself the greatest benefit. You can also deal with your worldly business. You can do them together. When you remember Allāh ﷻ in your worldly business, your worldly business is counted as worship too, because you do it for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ. When you walk on the way of Allāh ﷻ and get strength both for yourself and your family, when you perform worship to keep it on, everything is written as Thawab and worship for you. You will be together with Allāh ﷻ for 24 hours.
This is the benefit of Tarīqah; to live by remembering Allāh ﷻ for 24 hours. We should not forget Him ﷻ for a second. Of course, mankind forgets. Therefore, we should make intention in the morning. “إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ”, “Actions are but by intentions” [Hadith]. Actions are accepted according to intentions. Even if you don't do something, your intention will be accepted as done. It is good to start the day by intending to do everything by remembering Allāh ﷻ and for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ let this state always be upon us inshā’Allāh.
This is the beauty of Tarīqah and the benefit of Tarīqah. A man doesn't live for nothing then. It is not as they say “Coming and going for nothing”. You will always be living with the favors, grace, blessings and mercy of Allāh ﷻ. Otherwise, without them you will live for nothing. They say “One comes and goes like grass.” But the grass has benefit and no account. You do have an account. It's fine if the grass lives for nothing. But if a you live for nothing, you will be asked, “Why did you live in vain? You were given so many favors and a mind. You were shown the way. But you lived in vain. Pay for it.” It will be hard for you then.
May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May we always be from those who remember and make Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ inshā’Allāh.

Mawlana Sheikh Nazim Dergah - Lefke
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.
Today is inshā’Allāh the 27th night [of Ramadan]. The Islamic world and Muslims celebrate Laylat ul-Qadr tonight. As they don't know on which date it is, they celebrate it on the 27th. They ask for its Barakah. Allāh ﷻ inshā’Allāh gives its Barakah. Laylat ul-Qadr is one of the holiest nights. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla granted it to the Ummah.
There are many features of Laylat ul-Qadr. One of them is that the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān was sent down on this night. Of course, the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān didn't come all at once. The secret of the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān in the sight of Allāh ﷻ is amazing. People cannot fathom it.
It is the word of Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla sent it to people and to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, especially to him ﷺ, as the last book. And He ﷻ put everything that is beneficial for Islam and all people in the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān. It is very valuable. It was sent down on this night, Laylat ul-Qadr. And then it was completed step by step during 23 years as a gift to the Ummah.
The Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān is the eternal word, the word of Allāh ﷻ. People who philosophize on this dispute about it and want to weaken people's Imān. That won't happen unless Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla wants. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm,
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ
‘‘Innā naḥnu nazzalnā dh-dhikra wa-innā lahu la-ḥāfiẓūn’’
‘’Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.’’(Qur’ān 15:09).
“We sent the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān, and We will protect it”, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, no matter how much shayṭāns and other are around it, they cannot do anything, with the permission of Allāh ﷻ.
Reading Qur’ān is Shifa’/ cure. It is a means for all kinds of goodness. Our Holy Prophet ﷺsays that the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān is “Shafī‘ Mushaffa” and it is Shifa’/ cure. (Meaning)It intercedes and becomes intercession for others, and it is cure. All goodness is in the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān, in the word of Allāh ﷻ. Reading it during these nights, reading it at all times is the means for goodness to people. It is a cure for all problems inshā’Allāh. May Allāh ﷻ make this night blessed for all of us.
Even when someone listens to the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān, it is a Muqabalah. People attain its virtue. When someone reads, the rest who are listening attain the same virtue. It is also from the Barakah of the Qur’ān. May Allāh ﷻ bless these nights and days for all of us inshā’Allāh.

أَدُّوا الْحُقُوقَ إلَى أَصْحَابِهَا
The order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is to give back the rights to whomever they are due. A person's right is difficult. When you call it even in this world, it is easy. But if it remains to the ākhirah, it will be very difficult for you. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Therefore, if there’s a right that must be given back by you in this world, you should be careful about that. Mūmins, Muslims and people of Tarīqah should pay more attention to it.
Everyone’s right belongs to himself. It is ḥalāl for him and ḥarām for you. The right is not lost. There are many people in this world who take others’ rights. They think that they earn profit from that, whereas there is no profit from it in this world, and it is even worse in ākhirah.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam suffered from a heavy illness a week before his ﷺpassing. He ﷺ was going up for Khuṭbah every now and then. He ﷺ would tell the Saḥābah during the Khuṭbah, “Whoever has a right on me should ask for it. Whoever has given me something should ask me to return it. If I have done someone wrong with or without knowing...” He ﷺ never did knowingly, of course. No one had a right on him. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ was the most just person in the world. He ﷺ didn't take anyone’s right. Yet our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to say that. As a lesson to us, in order to teach us, he ﷺ said, “Whoever has a right on me, may he not leave it for ākhirah". It is difficult to give back one's right in ākhirah.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was told by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, “All your past and future sins are forgiven". He ﷺ was forgiven. This means that it is for us to learn. Indeed, the biggest burden for people is to take others' rights. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from committing that sin, from obeying our egos. The ego is obeyed. There are many people who obey their egos. Some of them take others’ rights directly. They see it as a profit or prize. They see it as alertness and smartness. Whereas it is nothing

āh ﷻdoesn't oppress anyone. People oppress themselves. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.
Inshā’Allāh our final destination is good. Both here and hereafter is good. Because when people start a trip, when they go somewhere without knowing, they don't feel relaxed. When there is a place they know, they go on the way they know and reach safely. May Allāh ﷻ take us all to safety inshā’Allāh.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
�‘Īd Mubarak to everyone! May it be good inshā’Allāh. It is a feast granted by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla to the Ummah. Our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “You had two feasts. One is Nawruz and the other is Mihrajan” when he came to Al-Madīnah Al Munawwarah. They used to entertain themselves on these days and celebrate them. These were holidays which were not given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla but made up by themselves. “Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla gave you something that is better”, he ﷺ said. Something given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla indeed has goodness in it.
The first is ‘Īd al-Fiṭr, and the second is ‘Īd al-’Aḍḥā. These two days are given to you by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They are holy days. Both their day and night are holy. There is no fasting on these days. In order for people to celebrate by eating and drinking, by being happy, these days were given as blessed and good days for people in this world to eat and drink as they like, to visit places and people. Allāh ﷻ writes Thawab in return for it to people who do these.
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, these holidays are two holidays. But there are numerous days that other people call holidays. They have the New Year, the pumpkin feast or the aubergine feast etc. They are not holidays. The real holidays are the two ‘Īds that Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla granted to people, to the Ummah of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. To show respect to them is to show respect to Islām. There is a lot of wisdom for it in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. In order to show mercy to people, in order for the door of mercy to be open, Allāh ‘Āzza wa Jalla gave all kinds of opportunities.
All Muslims are celebrating these feasts now and congratulating each other on it; all Muslims. But not all Muslims actually fast. If you say praying, most don't pray. But they celebrate ‘Īd. Even those who don't pray the ‘Īd prayer, who don't fast and who do all kinds of things, celebrate these feasts. That is a favor of Allāh ﷻ to these people, for when they remember and celebrate the feast given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, it brings benefit to them.
Certainly, praying and other things have a different account. And this has a different account. To celebrate and show respect to it, to honor and not to forget it doesn't go in vain in the presence of Allāh ﷻ. It is one of its wisdoms. As we said, even when those who don't do any good deeds do this thing, celebrating the day made holy by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla strengthens faith in their hearts inshā’Allāh. And it becomes the means for their salvation. This is also its wisdom.
Therefore, these days are holy days. We are saying it once again: ʿĪd al-Fiṭr and ‘Īd al-’Aḍḥā. The rest are not holidays. They are just occasions. There are religious and non-religious occasions. They are useless. They are completely useless. They are useful neither here nor hereafter. Therefore, show respect to these days and honor them. They have great benefit both apparently and spiritually.
MayAllāh ﷻ bless them. May they be means for guidance for people inshā’Allāh.

Better than Anything in Dunya
30 Ramadan 1443
Mawlana Sheikh Nazim Dergah - Lefke
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
(Qur’ān 10:58).
‘’Qul bifaḍli Llahi wa biraḥmatihi fabidhālika falyafraḥū huwa khayrun mimmā yajma‘ūn”
Say, “In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy - in that let them rejoice”; that is better than what they accumulate.’’
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says that whoever attains the mercy of Allāh ﷻ and His ﷻ virtuous kindness should rejoice and be happy. The best thing has happened to him. Some things happen in this world, but people don't know. They don't know what to be happy for, what to do and how to comfort their hearts. They are running after useless things which don't bring any benefit.
It is the last day of the holy Ramaḍān. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, because we did what Allāh ﷻordered as much as we can this Ramaḍān, Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we are happy on the inside. Allāh ﷻ has given peace, for we did it according to His ﷻ will, and He ﷻ gave it out of His ﷻgenerosity. We make Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we praise Allāh ﷻ for fasting, praying and walking on this way as much as we could during this Ramaḍān. Allāh ﷻ has granted us these things. He ﷻ gave us these beauties. We make Shukr to Him ﷻ and praise Him ﷻ. We are happy for doing this - that He ﷻ let us do it; to be more precise.
Many people don't want to do, they don't do or cannot do. And it is not meant for them. The goodness, charity, Thawāb, light and Barakah given by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, when people miss them once, even if they do it again for the rest of their lives, they can't have it. They cannot attain the Thawāb and beneficence of that day. We must make Shukr for it. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says to be happy for it.
فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
‘‘Fabidhālika falyafraḥū huwa khayrun mimmā yajma‘ūn’’
‘’In that let them rejoice; that is better than what they accumulate.”(Qur’ān 10:58).
To be happy for it is much better than what you collect in Dunyā. You shouldn't be happy for the money and wealth you collect in this world, but feel happy when you are given such things, when Allāh ﷻ gives them to you. You earn Thawāb. Otherwise, mankind loses very big things. They don't attain great things then. As we said, its virtue is that Allāh ﷻ has given us from His ﷻ endless treasures. Our Shukr is little. We make very little Shukr to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Therefore, Shukr to Allāh ﷻ we spent this very beautiful month and these beautiful days. There was no illness. Anything could happen, but there was no obstacle. We completed it and finished it beautifully Shukr to Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ let us reach more years, more Ramaḍāns and better days. Better days will come inshā’Allāh. The end of darkness is light. Certainly, those days will come inshā’Allāh. We are waiting for those days inshā’Allāh. Until those days come, may Allāh ﷻ grant us these beauties and not deprive us from them inshā’Allāh.

Happiness from the Beauty of Islām
Mawlana Sheikh Nazim Dergah - Lefke
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.
It is a good deed to give happiness to a believer’s heart:
“إِدْخَالُ السُّرُورِ في قَلْبِ الْمُؤْمِنِ”
“Idkhālu s-surūr fi l-qalbi l-Mumin”, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ. To give beauty and happiness to a believer’s heart is a great deed. Thawāb is written in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
There are all kinds of beauty in Islām. When good things are done, they are accepted in Islām. To do good things, to help and make all kinds of charity between Muslims is goodness and it is beautiful. But the evil is ugly. Therefore, more goodness and charity are made in the month of Ramaḍān. With invitations and Ifṭār, it passes beautifully.
We have come to its end now. Apparently, they still do it in some mosques. After the 15th or the 20th, they recite a Qaṣīdah saying “Al Wadaa” bidding farewell to it. They say goodbye to this holy month, this beautiful month. Of course, it is a bit difficult for some people. But even if it is difficult, that beauty is comprehended even better. By the favor of Allāh ﷻ and the blessing of Allāh ﷻ, the more difficult it is for people, the more virtues and comfort are given to them. Therefore, all kinds of goodness and charity made in this month are met with great reward in the presence of Allāh ﷻ. And He ﷻ has rewarded us inshā’Allāh.
There is last Tarāwīh Prayer tonight, and tomorrow is the last day of fasting. And afterwards, after ‘Īd, people go back to their old conditions. There is no suffering in hell in this month. The shayṭāns are locked up. We cannot count all the virtues of this month. These are very virtuous months, especially this third month, the month of Ramaḍān. It was granted as the most virtuous to Ummati Muḥammad ﷺ by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, may Allāh ﷻbless it.
We bid farewell, as people never know if they will reach next year or not. That's why they say “Al Wadaa”, goodbye to this month. May Allāh ﷻ grant us to reach it again. May it be even more beautiful with these beautiful things inshā’Allāh, with the light of Islām, with the appearance of Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām, for this world is going worse day by day. They say it is sinking. It is sinking badly. People have no hope. Only Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām will change everything. It is impossible otherwise. It won't work by putting a patch here and a stitch there. All of this evil system of shayṭān must be changed to the system of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla for people to be relieved. May Allāh ﷻ show those days inshā’Allāh.
We hope that next year Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām comes inshā’Allāh. This is our Du‘ā’. Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim used to say to make Du‘ā’ that Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām appears and comes inshā’Allāh.

The Power of Unity
29 April 2022 / 28 Ramadan 1443
Mawlana Sheikh Nazim Dergah - Lefke
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا۟
(Qur’ān 03:103).
‘’Wa-‘taṣimū biḥabli Llāhi jamī‘an wa lā tafarraqū’,’
‘’And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.’’
It is the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Be together and don't be divided, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
Everyone knows that power is in unity. Therefore, enemies always want to divide people, to make them argue and fight each other so that Muslims have no power. Even though it is widely known, and as people still follow their egos, they are never uniting and always dividing. They say “You are so and so”, and by using it as a pretext, they forget the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla decides how a person is and what he did.
You should be together with Muslims. You should be with Muslims on the right way so that the grace of Allāh ﷻ is upon you and His ﷻ blessings come to you. You’ll have all kinds of goodness. For people who carry out Allāh's ﷻ orders and obey Him ﷻ, the grace of Allāh ﷻwill reach them. And the help of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla will be with people.
Right after our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam they started dividing Muslims. There are many groups who lost their way. Of course, shayṭān is the one who made it to weaken Islām, to finish Islām. But Islām still goes on with the grace of Allāh ﷻ. Of course, as people often act based on this, they don't have the grace of Allāh ﷻ. Because they came against the order, and they didn't preserve the order. Certainly, people have good intentions and bad intentions. Those who have good intentions don't go against their brothers based on others’ words.
Since the last century after the collapse of the Caliphate, while there was one state, it became 50-60 states. And each one is the enemy of the other. And as if that isn't enough, they dislike each other between Madhhabs. And most importantly, people of Tarīqah say, “My Tarīqah is better than yours. Yours is not better.” And in the same way, even those who are in same Tarīqah cannot tolerate each other. Whereas you have joined this way with the favor of Allāh ﷻ. It is the true way, Shukr to Allāh ﷻ. All Tarīqahs are the way, the way that leads to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Forty one Tarīqahs are their way. Their elders are our elders and our patrons. Because they are the beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ. They are not dead, their grace and Madad are always there.
Therefore, no need to obey shayṭān and say, “Your Shaykh is like this. My Shaykh is like that.” You should mind your own duty. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla has favoured you and showed you this way. And He ﷻ showed others another way. But the eventual point where they meet is the presence of our Holy Prophet ﷺ.
Therefore, we should pay attention to this. It's fine with common people. Common people means the normal people, they don't understand. “You support this football team. I support that team.” They fight over this with each other and even smash each others heads. Sometimes they even kill.
Ṭarīqahs are not like this. Ṭarīqah means Adab. It is obedience to Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Whatever Allāh ﷻ meant for you, as Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim used to say, your heart inclines towards it. It means your fate is there. Keep on your way and make Shukr to Allāh ﷻ for being on this way. Millions of people have no idea about Tarīqah, about the way, about religion or ’īmān. Make Shukr and praise Allāh ﷻ for joining this way. And when you see other people who are in Tarīqah, show them love. Don't harm them and don't make enmity towards them.
Believers are brothers. Mu’mins are brothers, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla.
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَ
‘’Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa’’
‘’The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers.’’ (Qur’ān 49:10).
They are brothers, so make peace. Don't make Fitnah among them. May Allāh ﷻ make us all steadfast on this way. May He ﷻ show us the beauty of the way inshā’Allāh.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
(Qur’ān 08:45).
“Wa-dhkurū llāha kathīran laʿallakum tufliḥūn”
“And remember Allah much that you may be successful.”
Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is saying to always make Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ. Always remember Allāh ﷻ. Only then there will be salvation and your end will be good.
Dhikr is the prayers and Tasbih we make. To remember Allāh ﷻ in every way is Dhikr. It is the remembrance of Allāh ﷻ. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, the daily duties and all of the Naqshbandī Awrād are things that our Holy Prophet ﷺ did, asked from us and taught us. All of them are in the Sunnah; all the worship performed from the morning prayer until taḥajjud of the next day, Dhikr, Awrād, prayers and Nafl prayers. Farḍ prayers are of course Mu‘akkadah/confirmed. Otherwise, there is Sunnah and Sunnah Mu‘akkadah. There is the Sunnah Mu‘akkadah and Wājib. We keep on following all of them just as the way shown by our Holy Prophet ﷺ and as the Saḥābah did. People who make so will be saved.
Some people ask what else they should do. Keep on doing them and don't make it less. You will do the best thing, and you will give yourself the greatest benefit. You can also deal with your worldly business. You can do them together. When you remember Allāh ﷻ in your worldly business, your worldly business is counted as worship too, because you do it for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ. When you walk on the way of Allāh ﷻ and get strength both for yourself and your family, when you perform worship to keep it on, everything is written as Thawab and worship for you. You will be together with Allāh ﷻ for 24 hours.
This is the benefit of Tarīqah; to live by remembering Allāh ﷻ for 24 hours. We should not forget Him ﷻ for a second. Of course, mankind forgets. Therefore, we should make intention in the morning. “إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ”, “Actions are but by intentions” [Hadith]. Actions are accepted according to intentions. Even if you don't do something, your intention will be accepted as done. It is good to start the day by intending to do everything by remembering Allāh ﷻ and for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ let this state always be upon us inshā’Allāh.
This is the beauty of Tarīqah and the benefit of Tarīqah. A man doesn't live for nothing then. It is not as they say “Coming and going for nothing”. You will always be living with the favors, grace, blessings and mercy of Allāh ﷻ. Otherwise, without them you will live for nothing. They say “One comes and goes like grass.” But the grass has benefit and no account. You do have an account. It's fine if the grass lives for nothing. But if a you live for nothing, you will be asked, “Why did you live in vain? You were given so many favors and a mind. You were shown the way. But you lived in vain. Pay for it.” It will be hard for you then.
May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May we always be from those who remember and make Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ inshā’Allāh.

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh.

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.
Today is inshā’Allāh the 27th night [of Ramadan]. The Islamic world and Muslims celebrate Laylat ul-Qadr tonight. As they don't know on which date it is, they celebrate it on the 27th. They ask for its Barakah. Allāh ﷻ inshā’Allāh gives its Barakah. Laylat ul-Qadr is one of the holiest nights. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla granted it to the Ummah.
There are many features of Laylat ul-Qadr. One of them is that the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān was sent down on this night. Of course, the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān didn't come all at once. The secret of the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān in the sight of Allāh ﷻ is amazing. People cannot fathom it.
It is the word of Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla sent it to people and to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, especially to him ﷺ, as the last book. And He ﷻ put everything that is beneficial for Islam and all people in the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān. It is very valuable. It was sent down on this night, Laylat ul-Qadr. And then it was completed step by step during 23 years as a gift to the Ummah.
The Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān is the eternal word, the word of Allāh ﷻ. People who philosophize on this dispute about it and want to weaken people's Imān. That won't happen unless Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla wants. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm,
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ
‘‘Innā naḥnu nazzalnā dh-dhikra wa-innā lahu la-ḥāfiẓūn’’
‘’Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.’’(Qur’ān 15:09).
“We sent the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān, and We will protect it”, says Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, no matter how much shayṭāns and other are around it, they cannot do anything, with the permission of Allāh ﷻ.
Reading Qur’ān is Shifa’/ cure. It is a means for all kinds of goodness. Our Holy Prophet ﷺsays that the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān is “Shafī‘ Mushaffa” and it is Shifa’/ cure. (Meaning)It intercedes and becomes intercession for others, and it is cure. All goodness is in the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān, in the word of Allāh ﷻ. Reading it during these nights, reading it at all times is the means for goodness to people. It is a cure for all problems inshā’Allāh. May Allāh ﷻ make this night blessed for all of us.
Even when someone listens to the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Shān, it is a Muqabalah. People attain its virtue. When someone reads, the rest who are listening attain the same virtue. It is also from the Barakah of the Qur’ān. May Allāh ﷻ bless these nights and days for all of us inshā’Allāh.

The order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla is to give back the rights to whomever they are due. A person's right is difficult. When you call it even in this world, it is easy. But if it remains to the ākhirah, it will be very difficult for you. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Therefore, if there’s a right that must be given back by you in this world, you should be careful about that. Mūmins, Muslims and people of Tarīqah should pay more attention to it.
Everyone’s right belongs to himself. It is ḥalāl for him and ḥarām for you. The right is not lost. There are many people in this world who take others’ rights. They think that they earn profit from that, whereas there is no profit from it in this world, and it is even worse in ākhirah.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam suffered from a heavy illness a week before his ﷺpassing. He ﷺ was going up for Khuṭbah every now and then. He ﷺ would tell the Saḥābah during the Khuṭbah, “Whoever has a right on me should ask for it. Whoever has given me something should ask me to return it. If I have done someone wrong with or without knowing...” He ﷺ never did knowingly, of course. No one had a right on him. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ was the most just person in the world. He ﷺ didn't take anyone’s right. Yet our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to say that. As a lesson to us, in order to teach us, he ﷺ said, “Whoever has a right on me, may he not leave it for ākhirah". It is difficult to give back one's right in ākhirah.
Our Holy Prophet ṣalla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was told by Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla, “All your past and future sins are forgiven". He ﷺ was forgiven. This means that it is for us to learn. Indeed, the biggest burden for people is to take others' rights. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from committing that sin, from obeying our egos. The ego is obeyed. There are many people who obey their egos. Some of them take others’ rights directly. They see it as a profit or prize. They see it as alertness and smartness. Whereas it is nothing
