ه doesn’t treat us with His جل جلاله anger, He جل جلاله treats us with His جل جلاله Mercy and His جل جلاله Patience.
But people don’t have patience. And especially belief, very few people have it. Everything from your birth to your death is not in vain. You must have something. You must collect good things for there. Allah جل جلاله said, “I will not lose it.” From beginning to end, you must know this and not be hopeless (saying), “We are living in this life without any reason.” Don’t say, “I am living like grass or like wood. I feel nothing. I don’t know why I’m here. I have nothing, only nothing.”
Don’t say this because in these last years, it became too much for people and they (the ones responsible for that) thought they are clever.
Allah جل جلاله created you in the best shape and made you the highest in this world.
وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ
‘‘Wa Laqad Karramnā Banī ‘Ādam, ‘And We have certainly honored the children of Adam.’‘ (Qur’ān 17:70).
“We made Bani ‘Adam, human beings, the highest.” And He جل جلاله made everything for them, to serve them, to help them, to be good for them. If you are not rich, if you don’t have a house, if you don’t have work, if you don’t have a job, if you don’t have a wife or anything else, don’t be against Allah جل جلاله or don’t say “I don’t have anything in this life.” You are the best among creatures; you must know this. It’s not important to be rich, it’s not important to be beautiful. You are a human being, it’s the most precious thing that Allah جل جلاله gave you. You must be thankful to Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله will be happy with you.
And when Allah جل جلاله is happy with you, everything will be good for you. If Allah جل جلاله is not happy with you, that time it’ll be a problem. Nothing can save you; no money, no beauty, no richness, no cleverness. Nothing can save you if Allah جل جلاله doesn’t love you.
Allah جل جلاله does what He جل جلاله wants. Many people cannot understand what He جل جلاله is doing. Many times something happens, and people are not happy with it, but usually it later turns out to be good for them. And sometimes it’s not like this. Sometimes they’re happy with something and after that this thing turns out to be bad for them. For this, we must depend on Allah جل جلاله and say, “We are happy with what happened because this is the will of Allah جل جلاله and everything He جل جلاله does is good for us.” Everyone will have an experience like this. Sometimes something doesn’t happen and the person is unhappy, but later something happens and he is very happy that (the former)didn’t happen to him.
We must be patient and depend on Allah جل جلاله, believe in Allah جل جلاله, be a believer and have a strong belief. Mawlana Sheikh Nazim has a famous saying,
أَفْضَلُ التَّدْبِيرِ عَدَمُ التَّدْبِيرِ
“The best arrangement is not to arrange.” Just leave yourself for the will of Allah جل جلاله. May Allah جل جلاله help us.

SPIRITUALITY GIVES TASTE FOR EVERYTHING

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.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتْقَىٰكُمْ ۚ
(Qur’ān 49:13).
‘’Yā ‘Ayyuhā n-Nāsu ‘Innā Khalaqnākum Min Dhakarin Wa ‘Untha Wa Ja’alnākum Shu’ūbāan Wa Qabā’ila Lita’ārafū Inna ‘Akramakum Inda Allāhi ‘Atqākum’’
‘’O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah جل جلاله is the most righteous of you.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla describes in this Ayah: He جل جلاله created us from man and woman, and made us tribes and nations. Who is the most acceptable for Allah .جل جلاله ? The one who fears from Allah جل جلاله
This verse is from 1,400 years ago. At that time, it was such a big thing for human beings, to say this to people. They don’t have the idea of accepting anyone from the lower people. The higher people thought that they are the only human beings and others are not human beings. This was all around the world, not only in one place. The whole world had this idea.
In these days, there are people who think that they have civilization. And they are proud of this civilization saying, “We are making human beings do anything. Nobody can say anything to them.” And they think that they’ve been like this since thousands of years. No, they only became like this since maybe 50, 60 years. The law of human beings – they can many times make laws for the color of people, for the language of people, for the shape of people. They can make any law like that in their [country’s] law and all laws. And they change them every time because they are not creators, they are creatures. And the creature cannot know what is good and what is not good in all situations. Every time, they’re changing them. But the heavenly law – Allah جل جلاله created us, He جل جلاله knows what He جل جلاله does, how He جل جلاله creates us, from where we are and what we are. He جل جلاله knows all of this and He جل جلاله put the best law for us. More than a thousand years ago, this verse, Ayah was given to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to make people know what is best, what is good and what is not good.
There are many Ayat, but this one is enough for human beings to accept the reality of our Creator. If people accept it and know that it is good for them, there will be peace for humanity. Because they will know that nobody is better than the other in shape or color, man or woman, child or old. All of this is not important . The important thing is to accept Allah جل جلاله and to respect Him جل جلاله
What is fear from Allah جل جلاله ? The Mu’min believer doesn’t fear from Allah جل جلاله in this meaning. To fear means to fear making Allah جل جلاله not happy with him. Because Allah جل جلاله is – we say in beginning of the Qur’an [recitation], “Bismi Llahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim” “By the name of Allah the Most Merciful.” The Mu’min doesn’t fear from Allah جل جلاله that He جل جلاله will punish us or He جل جلاله will do this or that, but he fears to make Allah جل جلاله not happy with him.
Allah جل جلاله is happy with all the people who make a mistake and ask for forgiveness. Because His جل جلاله most favorite attribute is His جل جلاله Mercy. The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in one Hadith, “If you don’t do a mistake and ask for forgiveness, if you’re like an angel, Allah جل جلاله will create people to make mistakes and to forgive them.”
For this, Tariqah gives people good tidings about this, not making people hopeless that they won’t have anything from the Mercy of Allah جل جلاله. They forget this. Many people make other people be afraid, “Allah جل جلاله will send you this, He جل جلاله will do like this for you.” No, we are alhamduliLlah not hopeless. We know His جل جلاله Mercy. Most of these people are making people to not have hope in Allah’s جل جلاله forgiveness, whereas Allah جل جلاله is happy to forgive people.
Nowadays unfortunately, many people are accepting that and when somebody says a good thing for them, they say “No you are wrong.” But this is from the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Without his صلى الله عليه وسلم Shafa’ah / intercession nobody can save himself from hell. They think that they know religion, they know Qur’an and they pray. They say, “We are not in need for anybody to interfere with us. We can do without it. No need for Shafa’ah, no need for the Prophet, no need for anything. We will do everything from this (worship)and we will be” - they don’t even know if they can be in Jannah or not but they think that they will save themselves. This is a very dangerous thing that they’re doing.
There’s a thing in this world, they say Russian Roulette: they put one bullet and they roll it. But these don’t put one but five (Mawlana laughs). Because there’s no chance for them. Because when the angel of death comes, at that time - many people know this: when on the death bed, they speak something with people - the shaytan comes and stands there. Those who don’t have a good heart towards the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, meaning those who don’t accept him صلى الله عليه وسلم and ask Shafa’ah, the shaytan can easily make them leave without Iman in the end of their life. If there’s nothing, only the shaytan will appear there, and they will accept what he says and they will leave without Iman. But who is asking Shafa’ah and is accepting this, when the shaytan appears there, one good man will tell him, “Do not to listen to him, listen to me”, and he will leave with Iman. This a good deed from the one who appears like that and a Shafa’ah from the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is a Hadith of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He صلى الله عليه وسلم told us and described what we will see in the last moments of our life. Everybody must take lesson and strive to do something. They must make a chance for themselves to be safe.
For this, the most important thing is the love of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the love of Awliyau’Llah and Mu’minin insha’Allah. This is what Allah جل جلاله teaches people. Not only to strive for the material things without any spiritual things. The material will stay here, and the spiritual is going to Akhirah. Without the spiritual, you cannot find any benefit for yourself.
AlhamduliLlah we are all gathering here for the sake of Allah جل جلاله. May Allah جل جلاله make our spiritual power and Iman strong insha’Allah. To get a strong Iman, you must respect Allah جل جلاله and the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. People who don’t have belief, sometimes respect and sometimes don’t respect. But the Mu’min always has good behavior and respect for everything. Disrespect comes from not respecting and not accepting spirituality. Spirituality gives a taste for everything we do.
Yesterday I was saying that 25 or 27 years ago, I visited America. I was eating but there was no taste for anything at all. I was very surprised. A big country – we went from New York to California, from California to San Francisco, then to Los Angeles and San Diego – we ate but there was no taste at all (Mawlana laughs). This is the biggest superpower material country. But now, I
don’t know why people, with the material things, they forgot to have taste. They only get material things; this is their aim.
We were with Mawlana Sheikh in 2001, it was his last long trip, journey. The last stop was in Karachi. These Uzbek-Afghan refugees have a camp in Karachi, they invite us every time we go there. We went and it was a madhouse; people selling meat and other things in the streets. We passed through it. We saw one butcher selling meat and it was black. I thought that they put a blanket on it but it was covered with flies (Mawlana laughs). Completely (covered) like a blanket. I thought that they put a blanket for the flies not to come on it.
Then, we went to a place where they began to bring dishes. It was as if coming from paradise. Each dish coming was more delicious than the other; Pilaf, Börek, Manti, Kebab. First, Mawlana said, “Look how delicious it is.” All the Pakistani people were also very surprised, “What is this! We never ate something like this.” That is the difference between, as Dr. Salim says, plastic food and real food. Without spirituality it is plastic, with spirituality it is the most delicious thing insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله give us this taste all the time insha’Allah. To not be cheated with plastic and make our stomach blocked (Mawlana laughs). Many people say, “Go to Pakistan, go to this” but nobody goes. But to America, they are killing themselves to go there. People are cheated and they are happy.
May Allah جل جلاله help us insha’Allah to be in the right way and to be with strong Iman insha’Allah.

AlhamduliLlah we are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for this favor. He جل جلاله made us make this trip for His جل جلاله sake, to see and get blessings to people who are in need and they are happy to see us. It is a big favor for us. We are happy that many people took Shahadah alhamduliLlah. All of our old and new Murids, all of them sticked together, and we all refreshed alhamduliLlah.
We all know that what Allah جل جلاله wants He جل جلاله does. AlhamduliLlah we are happy that He جل جلاله made us like this: to make everything for His جل جلاله sake, going everywhere reminding people and we remember Him جل جلاله. Our life is for Him جل جلاله.
We are living in the end of times, time of Fitnah, may Allah جل جلاله keep you and keep us safe insha’Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says:
فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ
“Fā-dhkurūnī ‘Adhkurkum Wa Shkurū Lī Wa Lā Takfurūn’’,
‘’So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.’’ (Qur’ān 02:152).
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Remember Me; I will remember you.” And thank Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله will be happy with you. And if Allah جل جلاله is happy with you, this is full happiness for us.
Thanks be to Allah جل جلاله, Shukran li-Llah.

LEAVE WHAT DOESN’T CONCERN YOU

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.
The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:
مِنْ حُسْنِ إسْلَامِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ
“Part of the perfection of one’s Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.” To be a good believer, he should leave what doesn’t concern him, he mustn’t be involved with that. There isn’t any benefit in this even for Akhirah.
It means to look at what’s beneficial and what’s not beneficial. Who looks and knows that something is good and beneficial, he must have interest for it. But if it’s not, he mustn’t waste his time with this. Because our life isn’t so long, so we mustn’t waste it with things we mustn’t interfere with.
We should especially not interfere with others’ things. Because many people interfere in everything, they know everything so they say this and that but in reality they are wasting their time. The best thing is that if somebody wants something or is asking for something and you know it, tell him, and it will be good. But if you interfere without them asking and saying what they want, you won’t be welcomed and sometimes they’ll spit on you or they’ll say some bad words to you.
The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says this for us, for our good and our happiness; and to not be unhappy when interfering in something then hearing some word we don’t like. So what’s better is to keep quiet and be safe. It is a small Hadith but it gives a big advice for us.
May Allah جل جلاله make us understand and follow what the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says.

HELP EACH OTHER FOR GOOD

A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r- Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
وَتَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ
(Qur’ān 05:02).
‘‘Wa ta‘āwanū ‘ala l-birri wa t-taqwā wa la ta‘āwanū ‘ala l- lithmī wa l-‘udwān’’,
‘’And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.”
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla orders this: to help each other, to do good things, to help people and to help everything: human beings or other things. This is the main summary for Mu’min, for Islam.
Islam is not only for our Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. All prophets since ‘Adam until the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are in Islam. إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ
“Inna d-Dīna inda Allāhi l-Islām’, ‘’Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.’’
(Qur’ān 03:19).
There is no difference between any prophet; this is what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla said:
لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ
“Lā Nufarriqu Bayna ‘Ahadin Min Rusulih’’
‘‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’’ (Qur’ān 02:285). All are in Islam.
Islam means peace, and this is what Allah جل جلاله sent for people. Now when they say “Islam” in the world, they are afraid. (They say,) “No. We are Christians. We are Jewish.” Christians and Jewish, all of them since the time of ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam are in Islam, the Religion of Allah جل جلاله. And the rule for this is to help each other for good things, to help each other with everything: with spiritual and material.
What’s the problem with this? This is a big problem for those who are not following and accepting the prophets. Because they don’t want this. They want to make chaos, to destroy people, to not help people, to torture people; this is what these people want. For this, it is a problem for them to obey what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla wants for people. He جل جلاله had told people through his messengers and prophets to make them do good things.
For this, we are now in a time when nobody cares about most of what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla orders and wants. They don’t believe. They say, “No, we must put something we can benefit from. We calculate and make plans for everything for human beings, to rule them.” The most important thing for them is to rule them, to control them, to make them do what they like them to do. And they’re destroying families and gatherings.
Everything that’s a benefit for humanity is an enemy for them and an aim for them to finish. And they’ve been doing this for years; slowly, slowly, every time making more and more. And in the end, now, they’ve become stronger and they’re making it a little bit faster. Because the time of Najat, salvation is near. For this, there becomes too much rebellion against Allah جل جلاله. And Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is patient until it becomes so high. After that, He جل جلاله finishes them.
They make a very bad thing come [into people] slowly slowly, without you feeling it finishes you. Like water coming slowly slowly inside [a room] while one’s sleeping, without him feeling, he suddenly sinks and dies. This is what they’re doing, and slowly slowly people are accepting everything now.
A very important thing here is that the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam says that when you see something not good, if you can change it by hand, change it; if not, you can tell them “This is not good”; if not, don’t accept it by your heart. Say, “We cannot do anything, but we don’t accept.” Of course now, in these days, you can never do that by hand. And if you say something they will come against you, so we also cannot speak. So you mustn’t accept this by your heart.
Of course, we human beings have many faults, and we do many wrong things and many sins because we are not angels. But when we do something, we must repent, make Tawbah and ask for forgiveness from Allah جل جلاله “AstaghfiruLlah”.
There is one more important point here. When you do wrong, don’t make it publicly, and don’t say “I am like this, I am like that. I do this.” Keep it a secret. This is Bala’, Ibtila’/ affliction from Allah جل جلاله. You do it and it’s not good of course. But when somebody does a wrong thing, he mustn’t say it or show it to other people; like drinking or doing the bad things they do. If he does that, he will get more anger from Allah جل جلاله on him. Because he is encouraging other people and this is what shaytan wants. When somebody sees a person doing this and people are not saying anything, he thinks “Maybe this is normal. I can also do the same thing.” And so it becomes normal around the Muslim community or other. So this is more dangerous and more unacceptable in Shari’ah and Tariqah.
Sometimes you see a very small group, you think that it’s too big because they make loud voices everywhere. This is to encourage people to come to be like them. For this, our duty is to not give them this chance to do this: encouraging people to be like them.
The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that when somebody does a sin and doesn’t tell anybody and only Allah جل جلاله knows about it, and he passes away like this, Allah جل جلاله is Al Sattar /The Veiler, He جل جلاله covers him. And in Qiyamah also. In Dunya, He جل جلاله didn’t expose him. And in Akhirah, in Qiyamah also, Allah جل جلاله says, “I didn’t make him appear as a bad one between people, and also here”, and He جل جلاله forgives him.
Mawlana Sheikh AbduLlah was saying that shaytan works very very hard to make people do bad things. He tires himself and after that Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives this chance to people; what he built from big sins and other things, with Allah’s جل جلاله mercy, it collapses and all of his tiredness (his work) goes in vain. This is good tidings for the Mu’min, for the believer. Don’t be hopeless; what you do from sins, even if it is like mountains, Allah جل جلاله removes them away when you ask for forgiveness and you repent.
For this, we must be careful because not only in Europe but everywhere in the world, everything is nearly the same. Because they say “Global, Global”, you can find everything, every bad thing everywhere. For this, Mawlana was trying to make everything different from other people; our costume, our behavior, what we speak and many things. Mawlana never looked like modern people. Of course, you cannot do all of them, but at least sometimes you must do it. He was very sensitive for everything, to know the meaning of things. Because it’s difficult for people, he wasn’t ordering much difficult things. But by his actions and by his way of life, Masha’Allah thousands of people are imitating him and they are known all around the world as Mawlana Sheikh’s followers.
Mawlana was never making people to be ashamed. Even if something happened, he didn’t say anything. When he’s not happy, he didn’t give a direct order. M

ه doesn’t treat us with His جل جلاله anger, He جل جلاله treats us with His جل جلاله Mercy and His جل جلاله Patience.
But people don’t have patience. And especially belief, very few people have it. Everything from your birth to your death is not in vain. You must have something. You must collect good things for there. Allah جل جلاله said, “I will not lose it.” From beginning to end, you must know this and not be hopeless (saying), “We are living in this life without any reason.” Don’t say, “I am living like grass or like wood. I feel nothing. I don’t know why I’m here. I have nothing, only nothing.”
Don’t say this because in these last years, it became too much for people and they (the ones responsible for that) thought they are clever.
Allah جل جلاله created you in the best shape and made you the highest in this world.
وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ
‘‘Wa Laqad Karramnā Banī ‘Ādam, ‘And We have certainly honored the children of Adam.’‘ (Qur’ān 17:70).
“We made Bani ‘Adam, human beings, the highest.” And He جل جلاله made everything for them, to serve them, to help them, to be good for them. If you are not rich, if you don’t have a house, if you don’t have work, if you don’t have a job, if you don’t have a wife or anything else, don’t be against Allah جل جلاله or don’t say “I don’t have anything in this life.” You are the best among creatures; you must know this. It’s not important to be rich, it’s not important to be beautiful. You are a human being, it’s the most precious thing that Allah جل جلاله gave you. You must be thankful to Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله will be happy with you.
And when Allah جل جلاله is happy with you, everything will be good for you. If Allah جل جلاله is not happy with you, that time it’ll be a problem. Nothing can save you; no money, no beauty, no richness, no cleverness. Nothing can save you if Allah جل جلاله doesn’t love you.
Allah جل جلاله does what He جل جلاله wants. Many people cannot understand what He جل جلاله is doing. Many times something happens, and people are not happy with it, but usually it later turns out to be good for them. And sometimes it’s not like this. Sometimes they’re happy with something and after that this thing turns out to be bad for them. For this, we must depend on Allah جل جلاله and say, “We are happy with what happened because this is the will of Allah جل جلاله and everything He جل جلاله does is good for us.” Everyone will have an experience like this. Sometimes something doesn’t happen and the person is unhappy, but later something happens and he is very happy that (the former)didn’t happen to him.
We must be patient and depend on Allah جل جلاله, believe in Allah جل جلاله, be a believer and have a strong belief. Mawlana Sheikh Nazim has a famous saying,
أَفْضَلُ التَّدْبِيرِ عَدَمُ التَّدْبِيرِ
“The best arrangement is not to arrange.” Just leave yourself for the will of Allah جل جلاله. May Allah جل جلاله help us.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتْقَىٰكُمْ ۚ
(Qur’ān 49:13).
‘’Yā ‘Ayyuhā n-Nāsu ‘Innā Khalaqnākum Min Dhakarin Wa ‘Untha Wa Ja’alnākum Shu’ūbāan Wa Qabā’ila Lita’ārafū Inna ‘Akramakum Inda Allāhi ‘Atqākum’’
‘’O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah جل جلاله is the most righteous of you.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla describes in this Ayah: He جل جلاله created us from man and woman, and made us tribes and nations. Who is the most acceptable for Allah .جل جلاله ? The one who fears from Allah جل جلاله
This verse is from 1,400 years ago. At that time, it was such a big thing for human beings, to say this to people. They don’t have the idea of accepting anyone from the lower people. The higher people thought that they are the only human beings and others are not human beings. This was all around the world, not only in one place. The whole world had this idea.
In these days, there are people who think that they have civilization. And they are proud of this civilization saying, “We are making human beings do anything. Nobody can say anything to them.” And they think that they’ve been like this since thousands of years. No, they only became like this since maybe 50, 60 years. The law of human beings – they can many times make laws for the color of people, for the language of people, for the shape of people. They can make any law like that in their [country’s] law and all laws. And they change them every time because they are not creators, they are creatures. And the creature cannot know what is good and what is not good in all situations. Every time, they’re changing them. But the heavenly law – Allah جل جلاله created us, He جل جلاله knows what He جل جلاله does, how He جل جلاله creates us, from where we are and what we are. He جل جلاله knows all of this and He جل جلاله put the best law for us. More than a thousand years ago, this verse, Ayah was given to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to make people know what is best, what is good and what is not good.
There are many Ayat, but this one is enough for human beings to accept the reality of our Creator. If people accept it and know that it is good for them, there will be peace for humanity. Because they will know that nobody is better than the other in shape or color, man or woman, child or old. All of this is not important . The important thing is to accept Allah جل جلاله and to respect Him جل جلاله
What is fear from Allah جل جلاله ? The Mu’min believer doesn’t fear from Allah جل جلاله in this meaning. To fear means to fear making Allah جل جلاله not happy with him. Because Allah جل جلاله is – we say in beginning of the Qur’an [recitation], “Bismi Llahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim” “By the name of Allah the Most Merciful.” The Mu’min doesn’t fear from Allah جل جلاله that He جل جلاله will punish us or He جل جلاله will do this or that, but he fears to make Allah جل جلاله not happy with him.
Allah جل جلاله is happy with all the people who make a mistake and ask for forgiveness. Because His جل جلاله most favorite attribute is His جل جلاله Mercy. The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in one Hadith, “If you don’t do a mistake and ask for forgiveness, if you’re like an angel, Allah جل جلاله will create people to make mistakes and to forgive them.”
For this, Tariqah gives people good tidings about this, not making people hopeless that they won’t have anything from the Mercy of Allah جل جلاله. They forget this. Many people make other people be afraid, “Allah جل جلاله will send you this, He جل جلاله will do like this for you.” No, we are alhamduliLlah not hopeless. We know His جل جلاله Mercy. Most of these people are making people to not have hope in Allah’s جل جلاله forgiveness, whereas Allah جل جلاله is happy to forgive people.
Nowadays unfortunately, many people are accepting that and when somebody says a good thing for them, they say “No you are wrong.” But this is from the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Without his صلى الله عليه وسلم Shafa’ah / intercession nobody can save himself from hell. They think that they know religion, they know Qur’an and they pray. They say, “We are not in need for anybody to interfere with us. We can do without it. No need for Shafa’ah, no need for the Prophet, no need for anything. We will do everything from this (worship)and we will be” - they don’t even know if they can be in Jannah or not but they think that they will save themselves. This is a very dangerous thing that they’re doing.
There’s a thing in this world, they say Russian Roulette: they put one bullet and they roll it. But these don’t put one but five (Mawlana laughs). Because there’s no chance for them. Because when the angel of death comes, at that time - many people know this: when on the death bed, they speak something with people - the shaytan comes and stands there. Those who don’t have a good heart towards the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, meaning those who don’t accept him صلى الله عليه وسلم and ask Shafa’ah, the shaytan can easily make them leave without Iman in the end of their life. If there’s nothing, only the shaytan will appear there, and they will accept what he says and they will leave without Iman. But who is asking Shafa’ah and is accepting this, when the shaytan appears there, one good man will tell him, “Do not to listen to him, listen to me”, and he will leave with Iman. This a good deed from the one who appears like that and a Shafa’ah from the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is a Hadith of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He صلى الله عليه وسلم told us and described what we will see in the last moments of our life. Everybody must take lesson and strive to do something. They must make a chance for themselves to be safe.
For this, the most important thing is the love of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the love of Awliyau’Llah and Mu’minin insha’Allah. This is what Allah جل جلاله teaches people. Not only to strive for the material things without any spiritual things. The material will stay here, and the spiritual is going to Akhirah. Without the spiritual, you cannot find any benefit for yourself.
AlhamduliLlah we are all gathering here for the sake of Allah جل جلاله. May Allah جل جلاله make our spiritual power and Iman strong insha’Allah. To get a strong Iman, you must respect Allah جل جلاله and the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. People who don’t have belief, sometimes respect and sometimes don’t respect. But the Mu’min always has good behavior and respect for everything. Disrespect comes from not respecting and not accepting spirituality. Spirituality gives a taste for everything we do.
Yesterday I was saying that 25 or 27 years ago, I visited America. I was eating but there was no taste for anything at all. I was very surprised. A big country – we went from New York to California, from California to San Francisco, then to Los Angeles and San Diego – we ate but there was no taste at all (Mawlana laughs). This is the biggest superpower material country. But now, I
don’t know why people, with the material things, they forgot to have taste. They only get material things; this is their aim.
We were with Mawlana Sheikh in 2001, it was his last long trip, journey. The last stop was in Karachi. These Uzbek-Afghan refugees have a camp in Karachi, they invite us every time we go there. We went and it was a madhouse; people selling meat and other things in the streets. We passed through it. We saw one butcher selling meat and it was black. I thought that they put a blanket on it but it was covered with flies (Mawlana laughs). Completely (covered) like a blanket. I thought that they put a blanket for the flies not to come on it.
Then, we went to a place where they began to bring dishes. It was as if coming from paradise. Each dish coming was more delicious than the other; Pilaf, Börek, Manti, Kebab. First, Mawlana said, “Look how delicious it is.” All the Pakistani people were also very surprised, “What is this! We never ate something like this.” That is the difference between, as Dr. Salim says, plastic food and real food. Without spirituality it is plastic, with spirituality it is the most delicious thing insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله give us this taste all the time insha’Allah. To not be cheated with plastic and make our stomach blocked (Mawlana laughs). Many people say, “Go to Pakistan, go to this” but nobody goes. But to America, they are killing themselves to go there. People are cheated and they are happy.
May Allah جل جلاله help us insha’Allah to be in the right way and to be with strong Iman insha’Allah.

AlhamduliLlah we are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for this favor. He جل جلاله made us make this trip for His جل جلاله sake, to see and get blessings to people who are in need and they are happy to see us. It is a big favor for us. We are happy that many people took Shahadah alhamduliLlah. All of our old and new Murids, all of them sticked together, and we all refreshed alhamduliLlah.
We all know that what Allah جل جلاله wants He جل جلاله does. AlhamduliLlah we are happy that He جل جلاله made us like this: to make everything for His جل جلاله sake, going everywhere reminding people and we remember Him جل جلاله. Our life is for Him جل جلاله.
We are living in the end of times, time of Fitnah, may Allah جل جلاله keep you and keep us safe insha’Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says:
فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ
“Fā-dhkurūnī ‘Adhkurkum Wa Shkurū Lī Wa Lā Takfurūn’’,
‘’So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.’’ (Qur’ān 02:152).
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Remember Me; I will remember you.” And thank Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله will be happy with you. And if Allah جل جلاله is happy with you, this is full happiness for us.
Thanks be to Allah جل جلاله, Shukran li-Llah.

LEAVE WHAT DOESN’T CONCERN YOU

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.

The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:
مِنْ حُسْنِ إسْلَامِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ
“Part of the perfection of one’s Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.” To be a good believer, he should leave what doesn’t concern him, he mustn’t be involved with that. There isn’t any benefit in this even for Akhirah.
It means to look at what’s beneficial and what’s not beneficial. Who looks and knows that something is good and beneficial, he must have interest for it. But if it’s not, he mustn’t waste his time with this. Because our life isn’t so long, so we mustn’t waste it with things we mustn’t interfere with.
We should especially not interfere with others’ things. Because many people interfere in everything, they know everything so they say this and that but in reality they are wasting their time. The best thing is that if somebody wants something or is asking for something and you know it, tell him, and it will be good. But if you interfere without them asking and saying what they want, you won’t be welcomed and sometimes they’ll spit on you or they’ll say some bad words to you.
The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says this for us, for our good and our happiness; and to not be unhappy when interfering in something then hearing some word we don’t like. So what’s better is to keep quiet and be safe. It is a small Hadith but it gives a big advice for us.
May Allah جل جلاله make us understand and follow what the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says.

HELP EACH OTHER FOR GOOD

A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r- Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
وَتَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ
(Qur’ān 05:02).
‘‘Wa ta‘āwanū ‘ala l-birri wa t-taqwā wa la ta‘āwanū ‘ala l- lithmī wa l-‘udwān’’,
‘’And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.”
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla orders this: to help each other, to do good things, to help people and to help everything: human beings or other things. This is the main summary for Mu’min, for Islam.
Islam is not only for our Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. All prophets since ‘Adam until the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are in Islam. إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ
“Inna d-Dīna inda Allāhi l-Islām’, ‘’Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.’’
(Qur’ān 03:19).
There is no difference between any prophet; this is what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla said:
لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ
“Lā Nufarriqu Bayna ‘Ahadin Min Rusulih’’
‘‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’’ (Qur’ān 02:285). All are in Islam.
Islam means peace, and this is what Allah جل جلاله sent for people. Now when they say “Islam” in the world, they are afraid. (They say,) “No. We are Christians. We are Jewish.” Christians and Jewish, all of them since the time of ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam are in Islam, the Religion of Allah جل جلاله. And the rule for this is to help each other for good things, to help each other with everything: with spiritual and material.
What’s the problem with this? This is a big problem for those who are not following and accepting the prophets. Because they don’t want this. They want to make chaos, to destroy people, to not help people, to torture people; this is what these people want. For this, it is a problem for them to obey what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla wants for people. He جل جلاله had told people through his messengers and prophets to make them do good things.
For this, we are now in a time when nobody cares about most of what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla orders and wants. They don’t believe. They say, “No, we must put something we can benefit from. We calculate and make plans for everything for human beings, to rule them.” The most important thing for them is to rule them, to control them, to make them do what they like them to do. And they’re destroying families and gatherings.
Everything that’s a benefit for humanity is an enemy for them and an aim for them to finish. And they’ve been doing this for years; slowly, slowly, every time making more and more. And in the end, now, they’ve become stronger and they’re making it a little bit faster. Because the time of Najat, salvation is near. For this, there becomes too much rebellion against Allah جل جلاله. And Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is patient until it becomes so high. After that, He جل جلاله finishes them.
They make a very bad thing come [into people] slowly slowly, without you feeling it finishes you. Like water coming slowly slowly inside [a room] while one’s sleeping, without him feeling, he suddenly sinks and dies. This is what they’re doing, and slowly slowly people are accepting everything now.
A very important thing here is that the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam says that when you see something not good, if you can change it by hand, change it; if not, you can tell them “This is not good”; if not, don’t accept it by your heart. Say, “We cannot do anything, but we don’t accept.” Of course now, in these days, you can never do that by hand. And if you say something they will come against you, so we also cannot speak. So you mustn’t accept this by your heart.
Of course, we human beings have many faults, and we do many wrong things and many sins because we are not angels. But when we do something, we must repent, make Tawbah and ask for forgiveness from Allah جل جلاله “AstaghfiruLlah”.
There is one more important point here. When you do wrong, don’t make it publicly, and don’t say “I am like this, I am like that. I do this.” Keep it a secret. This is Bala’, Ibtila’/ affliction from Allah جل جلاله. You do it and it’s not good of course. But when somebody does a wrong thing, he mustn’t say it or show it to other people; like drinking or doing the bad things they do. If he does that, he will get more anger from Allah جل جلاله on him. Because he is encouraging other people and this is what shaytan wants. When somebody sees a person doing this and people are not saying anything, he thinks “Maybe this is normal. I can also do the same thing.” And so it becomes normal around the Muslim community or other. So this is more dangerous and more unacceptable in Shari’ah and Tariqah.
Sometimes you see a very small group, you think that it’s too big because they make loud voices everywhere. This is to encourage people to come to be like them. For this, our duty is to not give them this chance to do this: encouraging people to be like them.
The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that when somebody does a sin and doesn’t tell anybody and only Allah جل جلاله knows about it, and he passes away like this, Allah جل جلاله is Al Sattar /The Veiler, He جل جلاله covers him. And in Qiyamah also. In Dunya, He جل جلاله didn’t expose him. And in Akhirah, in Qiyamah also, Allah جل جلاله says, “I didn’t make him appear as a bad one between people, and also here”, and He جل جلاله forgives him.
Mawlana Sheikh AbduLlah was saying that shaytan works very very hard to make people do bad things. He tires himself and after that Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives this chance to people; what he built from big sins and other things, with Allah’s جل جلاله mercy, it collapses and all of his tiredness (his work) goes in vain. This is good tidings for the Mu’min, for the believer. Don’t be hopeless; what you do from sins, even if it is like mountains, Allah جل جلاله removes them away when you ask for forgiveness and you repent.
For this, we must be careful because not only in Europe but everywhere in the world, everything is nearly the same. Because they say “Global, Global”, you can find everything, every bad thing everywhere. For this, Mawlana was trying to make everything different from other people; our costume, our behavior, what we speak and many things. Mawlana never looked like modern people. Of course, you cannot do all of them, but at least sometimes you must do it. He was very sensitive for everything, to know the meaning of things. Because it’s difficult for people, he wasn’t ordering much difficult things. But by his actions and by his way of life, Masha’Allah thousands of people are imitating him and they are known all around the world as Mawlana Sheikh’s followers.
Mawlana was never making people to be ashamed. Even if something happened, he didn’t say anything. When he’s not happy, he didn’t give a direct order. M
