ه is Generous.
And when mankind has the attribute of generosity, Allah جل جلاله loves it. He جل جلاله is Forgiving. If people resemble Him جل جلاله and say “We should imitate this attribute”, it is good too.
There are some things that are special only to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. People cannot have them. If they have them, they will do wrong. It is a lesson for mankind. No one can say “I want to resemble Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, I also have pride”. Pride is only for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. He جل جلاله created everything, so He جل جلاله can be proud. But you are a created person. You cannot be proud. You are a captive; a captive of your ego, a captive of shaytan. Therefore, you cannot use this attribute. It is the attribute of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
There are many such attributes special to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla that we cannot have. And there are some attributes He جل جلاله likes mankind to have. We can have them. To be a servant of Allah جل جلاله, to obey Allah جل جلاله, to be forgiving like Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla; these are the good attributes. Those who follow these will be from the beloved people of Allah جل جلاله
Otherwise, those who follow the rest of the attributes like pride will be enemies of Allah جل جلاله and people disliked by Allah جل جلاله. The shaytan was proud and was thrown out of paradise. This is the biggest example for mankind.
Therefore, may Allah جل جلاله make us among His جل جلاله beloved servants insha’Allah.

HAVE THE FEAR OF ALLAH جل جلاله IN YOUR HEARTS

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:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ
(Qur’ān 16:128).
‘‘Inna Llāha ma‘a lladhīna it-taqaw wa lladhīna hum muḥsinūn’,’
‘’Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.’’
Who is Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla with? He جل جلاله is with people who fear Allah جل جلاله and do good deeds. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla helps them. He جل جلاله helps them in their deeds. They have Barakah. This is what is important.
There are billions of people. They neither think of Allah جل جلاله, nor fear Allah جل جلاله. They don’t have such a thing. To fear Allah جل جلاله is a great virtue. If mankind does that, their rank increases. And they become accepted servants in the presence of Allah جل جلاله. When they don’t do it, it is the complete opposite. They go down slowly. They start descending. And eventually,
أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ
‘Asfala sāfilīn’,
‘‘The lowest of the low.’’ (Qur’ān 95:05) –
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says so about mankind. A person who doesn’t accept Allah جل جلاله and doesn’t fear Allah جل جلاله is
أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ’ ‘Asfala sāfilīn’ – he is the lowest of the low. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling us so in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan.
Therefore, a person who has Taqwa/ fear of Allah جل جلاله shows respect to every right, to the right of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and to the right of servants.
Everything has its right. Even a house, a stone and a wall have their rights. To respect them is beneficial to people, because they carry out Allah’s جل جلاله order. As long as they carry out the order, their Iman increases. Because when their rank increases, their Iman increases, and their light grows. Iman becomes stronger and Barakah spreads around them.
Therefore, we have to keep the favor given to us by Allah جل جلاله. It is a favor, a great favor. If you don’t take Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla out of your heart, then you have this Taqwa. If you take Him جل جلاله out, if you don’t remember Him جل جلاله, you’ll have hardship then.
People can still do this as long as they are alive. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has given this capability to mankind. If they go against their egos and don’t obey their egos, they will be raised to these beautiful ranks. If people say “All my life has passed this way. It will go on this way”, they will destroy themselves.
Whereas, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has left His جل جلاله Door of Repentance open. A person who does that will be raised. Even if he is on the bottom, he will still go up. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has given this chance to mankind. He جل جلاله didn’t close the Door of Repentance.
May Allah جل جلاله show us this beautiful way and help us insha’Allah.

KEEP YOUR PROMISE

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.
When Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created our souls, He جل جلاله took a promise from us. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَ
‘‘Alastu bi-Rabbikum qālū balā”
"Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes".’ (Qur’ān 07:172).
“I Am your Lord and you accepted this.”
When the souls were created, the souls have a secret. Their secret is in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Before our bodies were created, He جل جلاله created them thousands of years ago.
When the soul comes to us in the mother’s womb, it starts entering the body after forty days. Some of them go away while in the mother’s womb. Some go away immediately, some after a while. The soul is something that will be together with the person in Akhirah. Even if it goes away in this world, it is something that will be together with him in Akhirah.
They made a promise to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. He جل جلاله asked, “Am I جل جلاله not your Lord?” All of them said, “Yes”. Of course, some of them said it with more difficulty. But the souls of all the people had accepted it. And when they came to this world, many people left their promise by obeying shaytan and their egos. And those who didn’t leave their promise are not keeping it completely. Those who accept Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla must carry out the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla to really accept Him جل جلاله. Those who say “Ok” and don’t obey Him جل جلاله, keep their promise incompletely.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us this beautiful favor. He جل جلاله put us above all creatures. To accept the promise we made to Him جل جلاله is to thank Him جل جلاله. Those who don’t accept it start falling down from that Maqam/ station, from that highness until they become the lowest creature. They will be lower than everything then. Those who don’t accept this honor deprive themselves from this favor. And this favor lasts forever insha’Allah.
Therefore, may Allah جل جلاله make us among those who keep their promise. The promise is even important in this world. It requires responsibility among people and in all kinds of work. We have to stand by it.
May Allah جل جلاله help us so that we keep our promise in this world as well, because the word is important among people as well. They used to value it more in old times. Now if someone gives his word in an assembly, he goes somewhere else the same day and forgets the promise he made, or he doesn’t accept it and doesn’t respect it.
Most people have become like this. And this lowers people’s dignity. It lowers their honor and removes trust. When people don’t have trust, they have a more difficult life. They will have difficulties. May Allah جل جلاله help us to be steadfast and firm with the promise we make insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله help us so that we don’t obey our egos and shaytan insha’Allah.

GRATITUDE IS IN KNOWING ALLAH .جل جلاله

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
(Qur’ān 45:13)
‘‘Wa sakhkhara lakum mā fī s-samāwāti wa mā fī l-ard’’
“And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.’‘
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that all the creatures in the heavens and on earth were created for your benefit, for you to use them. It is a great honor. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created everything for mankind’s benefit and covers all their needs in this world so that they walk on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
It is impossible to count the favors of Allah جل جلاله. Indeed, when a person has even the tiniest illness or anything in his body, they put enormous effort and spend a lot of money trying to cure it. People start appreciating then. But in normal conditions, people neither appreciate, nor think. They never think of what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created for our benefit and for our interest.
The favors of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for us are endless. We have to make Shukr for them. And Shukr/ Gratitude is in knowing Him جل جلاله. When you know Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, you make Shukr to Him جل جلاله and you praise Him جل جلاله. If you don’t make Shukr to Him جل جلاله, you make Kufr then.
These favors won’t bring any benefit to you. Even if they bring benefit to your body, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla will question you for them eventually. And you will get your punishment for the Shukr you didn’t make.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
This is a great favor. As we said, no one can do anything even with the tiniest thing. They spend lots of money and lots of energy on a tiny thing. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla granted that to all of us. It is for all of us. Billions of people are living in this world. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives all of them their Rizq. If people just think about doing that, mankind will never get through it. If it was in the hands of mankind, people would just die of
hunger. Therefore, these favors are big favors. Every bite to eat and water to drink is in the name of those who are meant to eat and drink them. Others cannot eat it.
Mankind is indeed Kafir, stupid and ungrateful. The Greatness of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is apparent in everything; it is clear in everything. Kafirs don’t see it, but Mu’mins see it. May Allah جل جلاله give us all Iman. May He جل جلاله give us gratitude. Because now in the time we are living in this world, there is a lot of Kufr, not Shukr. Therefore, may Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله protect us and protect Ummati Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.
May He جل جلاله not separate us from the right way and not let us be cheated by shaytan.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HAJJ

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
(Qur’ān 03:97).
“Wa li-Llāhi a’la n-nāsi hijju l-bayti man i-statā’a ‘ilayhi sabīlā’’
‘’And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House (Ka’bah) - those who can afford the journey.”Sadaqa Llahu l-‘Azim.
People are asking, “Should we go to Hajj?” Of course, for people who haven’t been to Hajj yet, it is Fard if they can afford it. They may always go. Certainly, it is a beautiful worship. It is a difficult worship, but it has to be made once in a lifetime. It is not made every year. When Muslims reach maturity, if they are healthy, they can go. It is Fard for them. It is Fard for both men and women. For women, there are restrictions. If they want to go alone, they may not go, because they must have a Mahram. But for men, those who have enough money and good health, it is Fard for them. They have to go.
It is not like in old times now. They don’t accept everyone. That is another matter. Your responsibility is lifted then. If you can’t go, it is ok to go another time. And if a person passes away within that time, he won’t have committed a sin for not performing this Fard.
But when there is a chance, he must go. It is Fard just like praying and fasting are Fard. For those who have money, Hajj and Zakah are Fard for them.
When they have a chance, it is something they must do as soon as they can.
Some people are neglecting it. They say, “I will do it afterwards when I get old”. And as they say when they get old, now they are not letting old people in. It is forbidden for people above 65 years old. Therefore, as soon as they have a chance, people should get rid of their debts and perform this worship. Of course, they can appoint a Badal Haji (Hajj by Proxy) and send someone to make Hajj on their behalf. A Badal Haji (Hajj by Proxy) can go on behalf of a sick person or someone who died. But the best is to make it yourself. It is best to go to those holy lands and to earn a lot of Thawab.
Of course, there are many more restrictions now. Whoever is able should go. And when those who cannot go make intention for it, the responsibility will be lifted then if they don’t go. They will not have committed a sin for not being able to make it.
Intention is important. Make intention to go when you can. Allah جل جلاله gives according to people’s intentions.
نِيَّةُ العَبْدِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ”
The intention of the servant is better than his deeds. There is this Hadith. It is a special virtue for this Ummah. If you don’t do something but intend for it, it will be written for you with the permission of Allah جل جلاله
We are saying from now that there is still a chance. There are about two months, or less than two months until Hajj. They’ve made it late this year so that those who can afford it can go. The permission is from Allah جل جلاله. May you have good Duas.
May Allah جل جلاله allow those who haven’t been yet to go insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms from everywhere. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, they’ve sent them from all over the world.
There are Qur’an Khatms, Yasins, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat and Salawat.
We gift all of them firstly to the soul of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his صلى الله عليه وسلم family, to the souls of his صلى الله عليه وسلم Sahabah and all the Prophets, the souls of the Mashayikh, the souls of all of our late relatives, especially our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne, Hala Sultan, all the Sahabah, Ahlu l-Bayt, to the souls of all of our late relatives. For goodness to come, and evil to be gone.

THE GOAL OF JOINING TARIQAH
12 May 2022/ 11 Shawwal 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 Tariqah, The Naqshbandi Tariqah is the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. By starting from the Sahabah Sayyidina Abu Bakr, the way of the Sahabah and Awliya is the way of guidance, the way of training the ego. Some people think that they will become Awliya and will start showing Karāmāt/miracles when they join Tariqah. Then the purpose of becoming Awliya is for personal interest, not for the pleasure of Allah
There will be no advancement then, they will stop. And when they stop, they will start looking for other places.
“I will show Karāmāt/miracles. I will benefit from it.” People who join Tariqah for Karāmāt/ miracles will never reach it. And when they don’t reach it, they will get disappointed.
Therefore, you mustn’t join Tariqah for Karāmāt/ miracles or to become Awliya, but for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله. You must join in order to train your ego. You will become a beloved servant of Allah جل جلاله then. You will become an Awliya of Allah جل جلاله then. Awliya doesn’t mean just showing Karāmāt/miracles. In the Naqshbandi Tariqah, it is not very acceptable to show Karāmāt/miracles. You do wrong from the beginning when you join Tariqah for something that is not very acceptable.
Therefore, our goal in Tariqah is to ask for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله with sincerity from the first step. You will say that you joined the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in order to reach him صلى الله عليه وسلم then. Otherwise, it is not sincere. When there is personal interest, it is useless for both Dunya and Akhirah. And may Allah جل جلاله protect us, most of the time, people who join with this purpose leave the way and the Tariqah. They cheat others as well. Therefore, while trying to do something good, don’t do something bad.
Therefore, this advice is to all the brothers. Some people say it openly, and some people wish so in their hearts. That is why, we have to correct our hearts and we have to correct our outward [aspect] as well. Our goal must be the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله in everything. “
إِلَهِي أَنْتَ مَقْصُوْدِي وَرِضَاكَ مَطْلُوْبِي
“Ilahi Anta maqsudi wa Ridaka matlubi”,
“O my Lord, O my Allah! You are my goal and Your pleasure is my desire.”
May we have Your جل جلاله pleasure. That is why we always say, “May Allah جل جلاله be pleased with you”, but it has become an ordinary saying. For the Sahabah, they say “RadiyaLlahu anhum”. It means that Allah جل جلاله is pleased with them. It is a great rank. People don’t realize it.
May we have the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله as well insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله be pleased with us as well insha’Allah.

THE HIMMAH OF AWLIYA

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
AlhamduliLlah Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has granted us again [to go to Cyprus] and we came back. We returned with beautiful things from the presence and Maqam of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. Days are passing quickly. It has been eight years since Mawlana Shaykh Nazim passed away. But Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, his spiritual being is more powerful, it is more now. Therefore, his Himmah/support reaches everyone, and he is a means of guidance for people.
The time we are living in is a difficult time. It is the time of people going out of religion. People have lost their minds. They think that they are clever. It seems like they have enmity towards the religion. And they are not accepting all the good things along with the religion. They are turning to all kinds of bad things and showing interest in them. It is the time our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had said about: It is not the time of ordering goodness and forbidding badness, but the time of ordering badness and forbidding goodness.
Therefore, the Himmah/ support of Awliya is important. The Karamah/ miracle of Awliya and especially of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim after his passing is that he was the means of guidance for many people through dreams. It is from the greatness of Awliya. Bodies disappear, but souls, the souls of true Mu’mins stay in paradise. The souls of Kafirs go to hell; they are useless. That is why, the Himmah/ support of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is big. Insha’Allah people will reach guidance through him. And those who have reached guidance should make Shukr for coming to such a door.
Therefore, eight years have passed, but he is present. He is here. As we said, he is present as more powerful, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. They reach out with their Himmah/ support. Just like Khidr ‘alayhi s-salam reaches out, the Awliya and RijaluLlah (the men of Allah) do the same when there is a trouble. Therefore, recite al-Fatihah for them. For their honor, Allah جل جلاله will make things easy and remove the trouble.
This request – some people mix up and say that you cannot ask from a person. We don’t ask from a person, we ask from Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for his honor. Otherwise, the person is the means. For his honor, as he is the beloved servant of Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله accepts our request. Many people are sinners and weak, they are defeated by their egos.
In order for our Duas to be accepted, it is better to say “For the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, for the honor of Awliya, for the honor of the Sahabah, for the honor of Ahlu l-Bayt.” Because Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla accepts our Duas for the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, for the honor of his صلى الله عليه وسلم Ahlu l-Bayt and Awliya.
The shaytan made up these things in order to confuse people. He says, “You are making this and that mistake.” It is not a mistake. You must love the beloved servants of Allah جل جلاله in order to be saved insha’Allah. There will be salvation both here and hereafter. Otherwise, if you think that you’ll be saved in Dunya, you won’t be saved. Those who are not with Allah جل جلاله will not be saved in Dunya, and they will not be saved in Akhirah at all.
May we be with Him جل جلاله insha’Allah. May we be with His جل جلاله beloved ones insha’Allah.

People of old times, before our Holy Prophet ﷺ came, had been searching for the truth, of course. A long time had passed between Sayyidinā ‘Īsā ‘alayhi s-salām and our Holy Prophet ﷺ. There were no Prophets. Therefore, wise people would appear. Allāh ﷻ inspired them to learn this way, to know Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They were the light to other people. Even without anything, clever people knew what to do. They knew about the existence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They knew that idols and statues are false. Therefore, they used to speak wise words and do wise things. And they were the means of guidance for people. They used to gi

No one can say “I want to resemble Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, I also have pride”. Pride is only for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. He جل جلاله created everything, so He جل جلاله can be proud.

It is the attribute of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
There are many such attributes special to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla that we cannot have. And there are some attributes He جل جلاله likes mankind to have. We can have them.

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.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ
(Qur’ān 16:128).
‘‘Inna Llāha ma‘a lladhīna it-taqaw wa lladhīna hum muḥsinūn’,’
‘’Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.’’
Who is Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla with? He جل جلاله is with people who fear Allah جل جلاله and do good deeds. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla helps them. He جل جلاله helps them in their deeds. They have Barakah. This is what is important.
There are billions of people. They neither think of Allah جل جلاله, nor fear Allah جل جلاله. They don’t have such a thing. To fear Allah جل جلاله is a great virtue. If mankind does that, their rank increases. And they become accepted servants in the presence of Allah جل جلاله. When they don’t do it, it is the complete opposite. They go down slowly. They start descending. And eventually,
أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ
‘Asfala sāfilīn’,
‘‘The lowest of the low.’’ (Qur’ān 95:05) –
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says so about mankind. A person who doesn’t accept Allah جل جلاله and doesn’t fear Allah جل جلاله is
أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ’ ‘Asfala sāfilīn’ – he is the lowest of the low. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling us so in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan.
Therefore, a person who has Taqwa/ fear of Allah جل جلاله shows respect to every right, to the right of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and to the right of servants.
Everything has its right. Even a house, a stone and a wall have their rights. To respect them is beneficial to people, because they carry out Allah’s جل جلاله order. As long as they carry out the order, their Iman increases. Because when their rank increases, their Iman increases, and their light grows. Iman becomes stronger and Barakah spreads around them.
Therefore, we have to keep the favor given to us by Allah جل جلاله. It is a favor, a great favor. If you don’t take Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla out of your heart, then you have this Taqwa. If you take Him جل جلاله out, if you don’t remember Him جل جلاله, you’ll have hardship then.
People can still do this as long as they are alive. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has given this capability to mankind. If they go against their egos and don’t obey their egos, they will be raised to these beautiful ranks. If people say “All my life has passed this way. It will go on this way”, they will destroy themselves.
Whereas, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has left His جل جلاله Door of Repentance open. A person who does that will be raised. Even if he is on the bottom, he will still go up. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has given this chance to mankind. He جل جلاله didn’t close the Door of Repentance.
May Allah جل جلاله show us this beautiful way and help us insha’Allah.

KEEP YOUR PROMISE

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.
When Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created our souls, He جل جلاله took a promise from us. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَ
‘‘Alastu bi-Rabbikum qālū balā”
"Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes".’ (Qur’ān 07:172).
“I Am your Lord and you accepted this.”
When the souls were created, the souls have a secret. Their secret is in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Before our bodies were created, He جل جلاله created them thousands of years ago.
When the soul comes to us in the mother’s womb, it starts entering the body after forty days. Some of them go away while in the mother’s womb. Some go away immediately, some after a while. The soul is something that will be together with the person in Akhirah. Even if it goes away in this world, it is something that will be together with him in Akhirah.
They made a promise to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. He جل جلاله asked, “Am I جل جلاله not your Lord?” All of them said, “Yes”. Of course, some of them said it with more difficulty. But the souls of all the people had accepted it. And when they came to this world, many people left their promise by obeying shaytan and their egos. And those who didn’t leave their promise are not keeping it completely. Those who accept Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla must carry out the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla to really accept Him جل جلاله. Those who say “Ok” and don’t obey Him جل جلاله, keep their promise incompletely.
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gave us this beautiful favor. He جل جلاله put us above all creatures. To accept the promise we made to Him جل جلاله is to thank Him جل جلاله. Those who don’t accept it start falling down from that Maqam/ station, from that highness until they become the lowest creature. They will be lower than everything then. Those who don’t accept this honor deprive themselves from this favor. And this favor lasts forever insha’Allah.
Therefore, may Allah جل جلاله make us among those who keep their promise. The promise is even important in this world. It requires responsibility among people and in all kinds of work. We have to stand by it.
May Allah جل جلاله help us so that we keep our promise in this world as well, because the word is important among people as well. They used to value it more in old times. Now if someone gives his word in an assembly, he goes somewhere else the same day and forgets the promise he made, or he doesn’t accept it and doesn’t respect it.
Most people have become like this. And this lowers people’s dignity. It lowers their honor and removes trust. When people don’t have trust, they have a more difficult life. They will have difficulties. May Allah جل جلاله help us to be steadfast and firm with the promise we make insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله help us so that we don’t obey our egos and shaytan insha’Allah.

GRATITUDE IS IN KNOWING ALLAH .جل جلاله

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
(Qur’ān 45:13)
‘‘Wa sakhkhara lakum mā fī s-samāwāti wa mā fī l-ard’’
“And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.’‘
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that all the creatures in the heavens and on earth were created for your benefit, for you to use them. It is a great honor. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created everything for mankind’s benefit and covers all their needs in this world so that they walk on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
It is impossible to count the favors of Allah جل جلاله. Indeed, when a person has even the tiniest illness or anything in his body, they put enormous effort and spend a lot of money trying to cure it. People start appreciating then. But in normal conditions, people neither appreciate, nor think. They never think of what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla created for our benefit and for our interest.
The favors of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for us are endless. We have to make Shukr for them. And Shukr/ Gratitude is in knowing Him جل جلاله. When you know Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, you make Shukr to Him جل جلاله and you praise Him جل جلاله. If you don’t make Shukr to Him جل جلاله, you make Kufr then.
These favors won’t bring any benefit to you. Even if they bring benefit to your body, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla will question you for them eventually. And you will get your punishment for the Shukr you didn’t make.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
This is a great favor. As we said, no one can do anything even with the tiniest thing. They spend lots of money and lots of energy on a tiny thing. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla granted that to all of us. It is for all of us. Billions of people are living in this world. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives all of them their Rizq. If people just think about doing that, mankind will never get through it. If it was in the hands of mankind, people would just die of
hunger. Therefore, these favors are big favors. Every bite to eat and water to drink is in the name of those who are meant to eat and drink them. Others cannot eat it.
Mankind is indeed Kafir, stupid and ungrateful. The Greatness of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is apparent in everything; it is clear in everything. Kafirs don’t see it, but Mu’mins see it. May Allah جل جلاله give us all Iman. May He جل جلاله give us gratitude. Because now in the time we are living in this world, there is a lot of Kufr, not Shukr. Therefore, may Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله protect us and protect Ummati Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.
May He جل جلاله not separate us from the right way and not let us be cheated by shaytan.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HAJJ

Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
(Qur’ān 03:97).
“Wa li-Llāhi a’la n-nāsi hijju l-bayti man i-statā’a ‘ilayhi sabīlā’’
‘’And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House (Ka’bah) - those who can afford the journey.”Sadaqa Llahu l-‘Azim.
People are asking, “Should we go to Hajj?” Of course, for people who haven’t been to Hajj yet, it is Fard if they can afford it. They may always go. Certainly, it is a beautiful worship. It is a difficult worship, but it has to be made once in a lifetime. It is not made every year. When Muslims reach maturity, if they are healthy, they can go. It is Fard for them. It is Fard for both men and women. For women, there are restrictions. If they want to go alone, they may not go, because they must have a Mahram. But for men, those who have enough money and good health, it is Fard for them. They have to go.
It is not like in old times now. They don’t accept everyone. That is another matter. Your responsibility is lifted then. If you can’t go, it is ok to go another time. And if a person passes away within that time, he won’t have committed a sin for not performing this Fard.
But when there is a chance, he must go. It is Fard just like praying and fasting are Fard. For those who have money, Hajj and Zakah are Fard for them.
When they have a chance, it is something they must do as soon as they can.
Some people are neglecting it. They say, “I will do it afterwards when I get old”. And as they say when they get old, now they are not letting old people in. It is forbidden for people above 65 years old. Therefore, as soon as they have a chance, people should get rid of their debts and perform this worship. Of course, they can appoint a Badal Haji (Hajj by Proxy) and send someone to make Hajj on their behalf. A Badal Haji (Hajj by Proxy) can go on behalf of a sick person or someone who died. But the best is to make it yourself. It is best to go to those holy lands and to earn a lot of Thawab.
Of course, there are many more restrictions now. Whoever is able should go. And when those who cannot go make intention for it, the responsibility will be lifted then if they don’t go. They will not have committed a sin for not being able to make it.
Intention is important. Make intention to go when you can. Allah جل جلاله gives according to people’s intentions.
نِيَّةُ العَبْدِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ”
The intention of the servant is better than his deeds. There is this Hadith. It is a special virtue for this Ummah. If you don’t do something but intend for it, it will be written for you with the permission of Allah جل جلاله
We are saying from now that there is still a chance. There are about two months, or less than two months until Hajj. They’ve made it late this year so that those who can afford it can go. The permission is from Allah جل جلاله. May you have good Duas.
May Allah جل جلاله allow those who haven’t been yet to go insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms from everywhere. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, they’ve sent them from all over the world.
There are Qur’an Khatms, Yasins, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat and Salawat.
We gift all of them firstly to the soul of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his صلى الله عليه وسلم family, to the souls of his صلى الله عليه وسلم Sahabah and all the Prophets, the souls of the Mashayikh, the souls of all of our late relatives, especially our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne, Hala Sultan, all the Sahabah, Ahlu l-Bayt, to the souls of all of our late relatives. For goodness to come, and evil to be gone.

THE GOAL OF JOINING TARIQAH
12 May 2022/ 11 Shawwal 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 Tariqah, The Naqshbandi Tariqah is the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. By starting from the Sahabah Sayyidina Abu Bakr, the way of the Sahabah and Awliya is the way of guidance, the way of training the ego. Some people think that they will become Awliya and will start showing Karāmāt/miracles when they join Tariqah. Then the purpose of becoming Awliya is for personal interest, not for the pleasure of Allah
There will be no advancement then, they will stop. And when they stop, they will start looking for other places.
“I will show Karāmāt/miracles. I will benefit from it.” People who join Tariqah for Karāmāt/ miracles will never reach it. And when they don’t reach it, they will get disappointed.
Therefore, you mustn’t join Tariqah for Karāmāt/ miracles or to become Awliya, but for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله. You must join in order to train your ego. You will become a beloved servant of Allah جل جلاله then. You will become an Awliya of Allah جل جلاله then. Awliya doesn’t mean just showing Karāmāt/miracles. In the Naqshbandi Tariqah, it is not very acceptable to show Karāmāt/miracles. You do wrong from the beginning when you join Tariqah for something that is not very acceptable.
Therefore, our goal in Tariqah is to ask for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله with sincerity from the first step. You will say that you joined the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in order to reach him صلى الله عليه وسلم then. Otherwise, it is not sincere. When there is personal interest, it is useless for both Dunya and Akhirah. And may Allah جل جلاله protect us, most of the time, people who join with this purpose leave the way and the Tariqah. They cheat others as well. Therefore, while trying to do something good, don’t do something bad.
Therefore, this advice is to all the brothers. Some people say it openly, and some people wish so in their hearts. That is why, we have to correct our hearts and we have to correct our outward [aspect] as well. Our goal must be the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله in everything. “
إِلَهِي أَنْتَ مَقْصُوْدِي وَرِضَاكَ مَطْلُوْبِي
“Ilahi Anta maqsudi wa Ridaka matlubi”,
“O my Lord, O my Allah! You are my goal and Your pleasure is my desire.”
May we have Your جل جلاله pleasure. That is why we always say, “May Allah جل جلاله be pleased with you”, but it has become an ordinary saying. For the Sahabah, they say “RadiyaLlahu anhum”. It means that Allah جل جلاله is pleased with them. It is a great rank. People don’t realize it.
May we have the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله as well insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله be pleased with us as well insha’Allah.

THE HIMMAH OF AWLIYA
11 May 2022/ 10 Shawwal 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.
AlhamduliLlah Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has granted us again [to go to Cyprus] and we came back. We returned with beautiful things from the presence and Maqam of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. Days are passing quickly. It has been eight years since Mawlana Shaykh Nazim passed away. But Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, his spiritual being is more powerful, it is more now. Therefore, his Himmah/support reaches everyone, and he is a means of guidance for people.
The time we are living in is a difficult time. It is the time of people going out of religion. People have lost their minds. They think that they are clever. It seems like they have enmity towards the religion. And they are not accepting all the good things along with the religion. They are turning to all kinds of bad things and showing interest in them. It is the time our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had said about: It is not the time of ordering goodness and forbidding badness, but the time of ordering badness and forbidding goodness.
Therefore, the Himmah/ support of Awliya is important. The Karamah/ miracle of Awliya and especially of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim after his passing is that he was the means of guidance for many people through dreams. It is from the greatness of Awliya. Bodies disappear, but souls, the souls of true Mu’mins stay in paradise. The souls of Kafirs go to hell; they are useless. That is why, the Himmah/ support of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is big. Insha’Allah people will reach guidance through him. And those who have reached guidance should make Shukr for coming to such a door.
Therefore, eight years have passed, but he is present. He is here. As we said, he is present as more powerful, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. They reach out with their Himmah/ support. Just like Khidr ‘alayhi s-salam reaches out, the Awliya and RijaluLlah (the men of Allah) do the same when there is a trouble. Therefore, recite al-Fatihah for them. For their honor, Allah جل جلاله will make things easy and remove the trouble.
This request – some people mix up and say that you cannot ask from a person. We don’t ask from a person, we ask from Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for his honor. Otherwise, the person is the means. For his honor, as he is the beloved servant of Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله accepts our request. Many people are sinners and weak, they are defeated by their egos.
In order for our Duas to be accepted, it is better to say “For the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, for the honor of Awliya, for the honor of the Sahabah, for the honor of Ahlu l-Bayt.” Because Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla accepts our Duas for the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, for the honor of his صلى الله عليه وسلم Ahlu l-Bayt and Awliya.
The shaytan made up these things in order to confuse people. He says, “You are making this and that mistake.” It is not a mistake. You must love the beloved servants of Allah جل جلاله in order to be saved insha’Allah. There will be salvation both here and hereafter. Otherwise, if you think that you’ll be saved in Dunya, you won’t be saved. Those who are not with Allah جل جلاله will not be saved in Dunya, and they will not be saved in Akhirah at all.
May we be with Him جل جلاله insha’Allah. May we be with His جل جلاله beloved ones insha’Allah.

People of old times, before our Holy Prophet ﷺ came, had been searching for the truth, of course. A long time had passed between Sayyidinā ‘Īsā ‘alayhi s-salām and our Holy Prophet ﷺ. There were no Prophets. Therefore, wise people would appear. Allāh ﷻ inspired them to learn this way, to know Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They were the light to other people. Even without anything, clever people knew what to do. They knew about the existence of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. They knew that idols and statues are false. Therefore, they used to speak wise words and do wise things. And they were the means of guidance for people. They used to gi
